all right ladies and gentlemen welcome to the WAN Show the show on the internet
0:09
that's why we called it WAN Show I started trying to come up with a a
0:13
different name for it I was like the offline show then I was like nope nope
0:17
technically it's online it's online it says it's my line is on your line is on
0:22
slow wi you could touch our lines together if you want we could well well
0:27
the okay I've heard I've heard a conspiracy theory from the same guy who
0:30
did the Jar Jar Binks is a Sith Master conspiracy theory that actually we
0:36
called it w show because we chickened out on calling it The Weekly analysis
0:39
news and gaming show the same guy no I
0:42
made that up en I was really excited because that guy's like famous in my
0:45
yeah no he's he's about as Internet famous as like anyone who works here I
0:50
think yeah like I don't know anyone who hasn't
0:53
read that redit I thought that would have been super cool I thought you talked to him I was like whoa that's
0:57
that's pretty cool no I'm not that cool unfortunately
1:01
sorry illusion shattered oh I'm not wearing my
1:06
Christmas W sweater oh no oh no maybe I'll change
1:10
during the intro but we got a lot of great oh excellent excellent when are
1:15
you seeing it uh 28th oh get wrecked
1:19
yeah I know it sucks get wrecked I know I'm going with Brandon though this is
1:22
what my dancing boobies look like because I'm going to see it on the 19th
1:25
calm your tits okay calm whoa
1:30
uh so we got a great show for you guys today Apple released the iPhone battery
1:36
case I'm not sure if they were thinking battery like thing that holds a charge
1:40
or battery like an assault on your senses um Trump wants to close up that
1:45
their internet to fight terrorism uh wow I went to go talk to
1:50
Twitch chat really quick without realizing that it was my turn Indiegogo
1:53
there's a campaign on Indiegogo right now for a computer that fits in your
1:57
pocket because like that would be pretty ground ground breaking actually I almost
2:01
exclusively wear lonus Tech tips shirts now I don't have I'm getting more though
2:05
I'm getting like four more or something yeah it's like it's gotten to the point
2:10
where it's kind of ridiculous I'm either wearing like my name on my chest or like
2:15
something that I did or like or your
2:18
name on your back or like something that like Ed or like burkel designed with my
2:22
name on my back also troll Insurance
2:26
troll insurance I don't even I'm not even going to say anything else there's
2:29
other information that we said in the pre-show thing I'm not even going to bother but we're get we're going to get
2:34
to that later on in the show for now we're going to roll that intro I hope
2:38
this works oh crap oh wrecked oh I have
2:41
all the wrong oh I have all the wrong sponsors no maybe I can do this go fast
2:46
no I'll pull this off hold go fast like dbes like
2:50
dbes hold on you can shoot something while it's walking relatively not that
2:54
fast okay just calm down but what about tribes where it's like going really fast
2:59
hold on I'm working I'm working on this okay
3:02
Linda uh The Edge I I got to find the
3:06
edge I got to find yes yeah Linda ah
3:09
fresh books Boop yeah baby and I fix it
3:15
Boop yeah Round of Applause for lonus and his
3:21
team especially lonus who was the one responsible for pulling that out of the
3:25
fire and also it was his fault that it was broken in the first place you put it
3:29
in fire then you took it back out that's right play like Hokey pokei but with
3:32
literally a fire does that count you put your right hand in you take your right
3:37
hand out you scream oh my God my
3:41
hand and then you start up a twitch thing and you're not signed in or hey
3:46
there's a there's a riot game stream going on that means my stream's going to
3:49
get no viewers sick I think our stream's
3:52
still doing wow we have only 2600 viewers oh you know what that thing's
3:56
always delayed the YouTube thing didn't go up oh dude that's interesting so this
4:01
is all the hardcores only this is like hardcores only time or just whoever
4:06
twitch decided to send an email too yeah
4:09
that too that's a whole other issue that's that's uh there's nothing I can
4:14
really do about that what is this thing doing why why are you broken YouTube 44%
4:20
processed on like a one minute video like are you for oh oh oh there 46%
4:27
46% uh someone must have thrown a USB drive at the server dude they're using
4:31
the quantum computer the quantum computer no we'll talk about that later
4:34
though the quantum computer is uh is is
4:37
definitely Quantum there's like or no right they were using the quantum
4:41
computer now they're comparing it to that single core something yeah well
4:45
that that well we'll talk about that okay so actually well no let's talk
4:48
let's talk about things let's get into our first topic of the day today should we just start with the quantum computer
4:53
no let's do Donald Trump wanting to close up the internet closing up the
4:56
internet cuz like you can just close CL
4:59
the doors you can call up Bill Gates yeah and Bill Gates can just build a
5:03
digital wall yeah so the original article here is from RS Technica and to
5:10
be clear if you actually watch and like put
5:16
some context around this if you actually watch some of the
5:20
speech he's obviously doesn't have a
5:23
clear enough understanding of how the internet works to have spoken correctly
5:29
but some of his sentiments were not
5:33
entirely ridiculous either not everything he said was completely stupid
5:39
but you're talking to internet people about internet terminology yes some of
5:42
it was really stupid um I'm just going to try and I'm going to go back to my uh
5:46
to my show notes for a second here because I think I put down something that uh uh blah blah blah I
5:52
mean acknowledging that people are
5:55
people are vulnerable to being recruited whether it's for Isis or or whether it's
6:00
um I speak from some personal experience without giving too much detail here not
6:04
not myself but someone that was very close to me um you know whether it's
6:08
something like a a proen a suicide Society or something like that people
6:12
can be very Su susceptible to being
6:15
drawn into someone who will make them feel like they fit in um and I feel like
6:21
the internet has made some of these very very extreme sex a little bit more
6:26
accessible sects not sex
6:29
it's made that more accessible too that's true but I'm not complaining
6:33
about that Craigslist so so some of what
6:36
he's saying is is it comes from a good place I think but obviously calling at
6:43
Bill Gates or doesn't get how it works other internet leaders to close up the
6:47
internet in some way and then he goes on to say you know Free Speech what about
6:52
Free Speech we got to you deal with this terrorist threat that's not necessarily
6:55
the right approach either but I think the bottom line is this I hope in my
7:01
deepest heart of hearts that Donald Trump wins the presidency because there
7:05
will never be a slow news wake news wake news week for the entire four years that
7:10
he's in so you would you just want it because it would be hilarious yes not
7:15
enough to vote for him and to anyone who's considering voting for Trump just
7:19
because you think it's hilarious and you just want to troll the entirety of your
7:24
country I would urge you to please reconsider
7:28
because there's there's so many trolls out there that he might actually win I
7:34
don't think we usually like give political voting opinions we don't but
7:38
don't vote for someone to troll I think is pretty safe political advice if you
7:44
genuinely believe in Donald Trump and his principles I'm not going to tell you not to vote for him that is your
7:48
prerogative that would be undemocratic but if you are voting for Donald Trump
7:53
because you're like don't do that because you just want
7:58
no slow news we news week news week no
8:02
slow news weeks for four years it would be kind of like a news week you just
8:07
like it's just the wake of Donald Trump as he just crashes through everything
8:12
and the the the entire the entire like internet internet like news reporters
8:18
just like crawl into the office oh my God he did more things they would they
8:21
would die of like laughter like their
8:25
abdominal muscles would actually implode upon themselves from yeah
8:30
so my my little joke that I wanted to throw in here is that people should just
8:35
start feeding him more just like not true stuff like start telling about the
8:39
series of tubes thing and then just be like you know if you just make the tubes
8:44
a little bit smaller then the bad messages will be delayed too much
8:48
because they're coming from too far away and they won't make it in did you see
8:52
the thing he posted about how it was like mostly blacks killing whites or
8:56
something like that like some some completely false like no one can figure
9:00
out where it came from infographic that was like supposedly
9:04
attributed to like the Seattle Police Department or something like that but
9:08
did not they're like uh no that didn't
9:12
come from here that's brutal yeah he he's he like retweet are you sure it was
9:16
it was a retweet yeah cuz like there's been a lot of stuff where he didn't
9:20
actually say it yes and he didn't say it but like you also have to be responsible
9:24
you can't be retweeting that stuff no I don't mean that the retweeter has value
9:28
I mean like there's there's I've seen a lot of jokes online where people will
9:32
share things from like satire websites and be like oh my God I can't believe he
9:35
said this and it's like that's cuz he didn't although to be fair it wouldn't
9:39
be that surprising at this point
9:42
yeah so um oh apparently they did figure
9:46
out where it came from all right well thank you for that either way it didn't
9:49
come from the Seattle Poli again we're not yeah political whatever yep speaking
9:54
of not being political whatever European commission officially presents plan to
9:58
address net like Geo blocking this I'm really excited about so the original
10:02
article here is from torrent freak oh I'm sorry Brandon I did not move that
10:05
computer okay sorry I was busy fixing
10:08
this computer actually okay before we get into the eu's proposal which is we
10:12
just turn the webcam thing on that we used to have and just show Brandon
10:15
trying to figure out how to walk with this thing I know right without destroying everything oh it's going to
10:19
be great good job Brandon he has I was telling him this the to the team Brandon
10:24
never trips anymore remember the way remember he used to trip who I almost
10:28
just said know and then I was like wait that changed at some point he doesn't
10:33
though I know he's like he's got cat-like agility now we put too many
10:37
wires down we were going to his nickname learned the foot flick his nickname was
10:41
going to be cables he just did the foot flick on that thing right there I know I
10:44
know he's like he's like a navigation master and this place is easier than the
10:48
old place so he's like he's he's he's like effortlessly moving around here
10:52
other than that he has to carry heavy things and now heavy things with like
10:56
stuff coming out of them okay so the story I was going to tell
10:59
is that I actually spent okay the show was still late I know but I actually
11:05
spent the hour and a half so since 3:00 today okay the show starts at 4:30 I was
11:11
like okay I am getting this computer
11:14
working once and for all it is happening
11:17
so I was like doing something with capture cards and we've known for some
11:22
time like ever since I built the first capture PC I ever built which was a
11:26
shuttle with a couple intensity Pros in it
11:29
we realized that mainstream platforms
11:33
your your uh your Z87 z97 whatever with
11:37
all their PCI Express Lane slit splitting and switching and and whatnot
11:42
are just don't cooperate well with professional grade Hardware sometimes
11:47
yeah where it's just it's low volume hardware and not always designed to work
11:52
properly in consumer devices and so I've always had trouble and even sometimes
11:56
it's as simple as okay maybe I'll try the four PCI E Lanes that are coming off
11:59
of the DMI interface versus the split ones that are coming off the CPU or
12:03
whatever the case may be um so today I
12:08
was like I ran into some weird issue and it was a minor issue but I was just like
12:11
no no that's enough so I went and got an x79 motherboard so we are you running a
12:15
3960x six Core Extreme Edition we are running an x79 workstation board like P9
12:21
x79 WS whatever from ASUS 32 gigs of the
12:25
most stable RAM that we've had like on all of our Benchmark systems that 1866
12:30
uh rip Jaws skill stuff like we've never
12:34
had any issues with and then I put in
12:38
four capture devices great a decklink 4K extreme a an
12:45
Elgato uh Pro 60 hd60 uh a black magic intensity Pro and
12:51
an a media live gamer portable attached via USB I was like
12:55
okay we're going to get this stable there's got to be some combination of
12:58
two yes just got to figure out so
13:01
they're all in there and I finally got it I'm pretty sure it's working I got
13:05
the audio synced needed only a slight delay so I'm pretty sure that we're in
13:09
pretty good shape so now that I've said that I'm sure that I've jinxed it
13:13
forever now but it can't be any worse
13:16
than it was before Oh no now I'm going to make it worse than okay there's no
13:20
wood around here this isn't really wood yeah this isn't wood this is like the
13:24
closest thing to Wood that's in my lap is in my lap where are you going thank
13:29
you thank you for that Luke did it for
13:32
you so the EU has issued a proposal that
13:35
would ban Netflix style geol blocking and restrictions which sounds like
13:42
fantastic news on first glance do you want to run through what this is exactly
13:46
basically you know how the EU is a lot uh people might take offense to this I
13:51
don't know it's a grouping of a bunch of smaller countries yeah I come from
13:55
Canada we're really big every country is a small country to Canada yeah I'm not
13:59
trying to say anything not in terms of population they have more people than us
14:03
oh yeah we don't have that we just I mean like land mass there's a great song
14:07
by The Arrogant Worms we've got rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks
14:12
and trees and trees and rocks and rocks and trees and trees and rocks and rocks
14:17
and trees and trees and rocks and
14:20
water come on
14:23
everybody it's a Canadian song anyways basically it's enabling you if if you
14:28
have a Netflix subscription to be able to watch it anywhere within the EU which
14:31
is pretty sweet yes but there are some
14:35
caveats which I don't understand actually but okay I can explain this so
14:40
basically the way that they want it to work is they want it to be illegal if
14:44
I'm a British citizen for example and I subscribe to British Netflix they want
14:49
it to be illegal for when I travel to France for my subscription to stop
14:52
working yeah awesome love it the problem
14:59
is that with these new regulations it would actually become more difficult for
15:05
people who use a VPN to access a broader
15:08
library of films and videos from another EU country that would no longer be
15:12
possible under the new rules how I don't
15:15
know that's what I don't I don't know so that I don't know but the new rules
15:19
would make it so that accessing the
15:23
library that should be available in your home country is fine but accessing other
15:27
libraries would not be fine the thing that worries me about this is are you
15:30
now going to have to sign up with like citizen IDs or something I don't know
15:34
see that's that's I'm not sure how they're going to handle it that's weird
15:37
I'm not sure how they're going to manage it like I know that over the years it's become more difficult for example to use
15:41
a credit card that isn't issued by a bank in the country that but that's
15:45
still not that hard they're saying impossible you could still find a way it
15:49
would still be what I'm hoping for is that under the new rules not not
15:55
possible like not allowed but I'm hoping that it would still be uh it would still
15:59
be still be somewhat F not possible like not allowed is fine because I'm pretty
16:02
sure that's already a thing so whatever go ahead people are going to do it
16:05
anyways good job I don't care there you
16:09
go um and then the other one I just got a hilarious private message from uh John
16:14
for Lakers John ringer TechnoBuffalo uh there was a particular partner that we
16:19
worked with once that I kind of off the record I was like dude don't work with
16:23
them uh I'm not going to indicate
16:26
anything but yes yes okay um so I just got a message from he's like dude I
16:31
should have listened to you have a great w
16:34
show I like our new one we have a replacement one it's good all right um
16:41
so where yeah okay so the last one is people who are in countries uh where
16:44
Netflix and services aren't available still won't have access and like that's
16:48
not so that was already a thing yeah
16:51
it's just a not better thing basically this is like a really small really tiny
16:56
step towards forming the way that geob
17:00
blocking and Regional restrictions are handled and honestly it feels kind of
17:03
like one step forward one step back um
17:07
just because if it does legitimately make these other forms of access more
17:12
difficult then we're not really helping anything um and it forces the content
17:16
owners to go and rewrite a bunch of their licensing deals for what is in my
17:20
mind not really that helpful I'd like to see I'd like to see that stuff Rewritten
17:25
more Brad it it it at least acknowledges that there's a problem yeah that's what
17:30
I'll say yeah we're acknowledging a problem which is better than
17:34
nothing so oh I've got people suggesting
17:37
that it's Hotspot Shield no it's not Hotspot Shield um oh good I was just
17:44
there's okay so this is funny there was a w show at one point where we
17:47
accidentally still had like an ancient Hotspot Shield logo baked into our intro
17:51
and showed it uh but we hadn't been working with Hotspot Shield for over a
17:55
year and it happened that tunnel bear was a brand new
18:00
St and they were just like Yoo what was
18:05
that we're like oh that was like a really old Legacy thing don't worry
18:10
about it there was also the time with Squarespace we gave them a
18:13
freebie oh well yeah Squarespace I it's
18:16
a miracle Squarespace still advertises with us why because we screwed up
18:22
everything with them so many times whatever oh I got people asking
18:27
build it beautiful I got people asking how my lip feels they saw the GoPro
18:31
dodgeball incident it's been a while so people are geniuses everyone has great
18:36
ideas and they love sharing them with us they're like you know you're supposed to
18:40
have the GoPro facing up on those mounts right oh my God we know we are putting
18:47
the GoPros in front of our eyes in the most annoying position possible in the
18:51
most annoying possible way not because we think that that's a stroke of Genius
18:57
and it helps us see better or anything but because it gives a more natural feel
19:02
like point of view perspective on what it is that we're doing we're doing it it
19:07
destroys your depth perception so we tried to put it on the people who were
19:11
showing some amount of accuracy already so that it would like bring them down a
19:15
little bit and make things a little bit more equal like it not was bad and
19:19
deliver better footage this is what we do this is what we do for you okay is
19:25
and yes Dennis still has a job no Dennis has not been deported no that was a joke
19:30
Dennis is a valued member of our team we are not we are not deporting him the
19:34
problem is that POV sucks well if POV sucks then eight inches above POV is
19:40
definitely not better so why is that
19:43
search term used so much I'm going leave you with
19:46
that bro
19:50
so let's go ahead and move into our next topic here this is cool so I mean if it
19:56
wasn't cool we probably wouldn't be talking about it on the ex sometimes we
19:59
talk about stuff that's totally not cool for the sake of talking about stuff
20:03
that's stupid um so Google's d-wave 2x
20:07
quantum computer a 100 times faster than
20:10
regular computer now now okay excuse me
20:14
100 million times faster sorry sorry I misread that which the scale makes the
20:18
point that we're going to make here not really matter but it's still a valid
20:21
point yeah okay so basically this was acquired by Google and NASA in 2013
20:25
they're keeping it in there like like supercomputing lab in Silicon Valley
20:31
somewhere underground something along those lines
20:35
um and basically in a nutshell it was
20:39
able to achieve 10,000 years of
20:43
computing in seconds the thing is
20:46
they're not actually really showing what they're comparing it to and sometimes
20:50
they're like yeah a you know classic computer a classic a classic single core
20:56
computer was what it was compared comped to well in one place they say classic
21:00
computer in another place they say I think like consumer and then somewhere
21:04
else they're finally like single core and I'm like o so it' be really nice to
21:09
know what it's being compared to um but it is a hundred million times faster yes
21:14
so at the same time it's like still very cool yeah um but with
21:20
that said we're still a long ways away from it being useful for any kind of
21:23
practical practical practical matters well okay uh broadly useful and we'll
21:29
we'll explain that a little bit more in a minute so basically for just as a refresher regular Computing uses zeros
21:34
and ones or bits Quantum Computing uses cubits and in the case of the d-wave 2x
21:40
you can have up to, 197 cubits so that's
21:44
that's that many more different states and then it's like Quantum nonsense with
21:49
like it can have this value and this value and all all this kind of very
21:53
complicated stuff that quite frankly I'm not enough of a scientist to
21:59
TR to talk about anything in this realm I try to give like a simplified version
22:02
and then people try to murder me so I'm just not even going to bother so let's
22:05
not bother uh but the point is that what it's really good for what what they what
22:10
they were able to find that the d-wave 2x was able to do really really well was
22:15
solving an optimization problem so an optimization problem could be something
22:19
like let's let's come up with something very very simple so if I want to make
22:24
the best possible oh I don't know super
22:28
can okay so you've got you've got a bunch of different variables you've got
22:32
the height you've got the circumference you've got the uh You've Got The Ridges
22:36
that you can put in the side you've got uh having a a curvature or no curvature
22:41
to the top and the bottom and so you could come up with a value that you want
22:44
like I want the strongest soup can that holds x amount of volume or or whatever
22:48
the case may be so so that would be an optimization problems you could have a
22:52
lot of different variables that the computer has to solve for many different
22:57
scenarios of all of them to get the best possible result that would be an
23:01
optimization problem in this case the problem that the d-wave 2x solved had
23:06
about a thousand variables and then each
23:09
one of those like I'm sure a lot of people in the audience know what a
23:13
variable is but each one of those will have crazy amounts of values so that's
23:17
an entry for a value or any value yeah like like it could be a variable is just
23:21
is is as a placeholder it's what x or y or whatever else so so you had a
23:25
thousand X's y Z's you're going run out letters of the alphabet don't worry too
23:29
much about that part though and it found the optimal answer for all of those
23:35
variables um the problem right now is
23:38
that there's only a handful of people in the world who are qualified to actually
23:43
input information input information into the hard to tell it to do things which
23:48
makes sense if you know things about computers that's kind of yeah yeah so
23:51
they're good they're going to have to work on making it a little bit easier to use
23:56
okay and then yeah and then and then
24:00
then it'll be more useful but Quantum Computing is still
24:03
very like look at who has it it's a it's
24:07
a long way away from you playing you know halflife three on one although
24:12
probably less far away than halflife 3
24:15
oh rip okay sorry sorry everyone sorry
24:20
to those who are still holding out hope rough speaking of that troll that you
24:24
just did oh my goodness so this
24:29
what I'll say in advance of this topic
24:32
is that I don't think there's a way for
24:36
us to cover this that won't upset the
24:40
particularly sensitive of our social
24:43
justice Warrior viewers so someone's going to be upset
24:48
by the end of this and that's a shame
24:51
and if the social justice Warriors aren't upset which they probably already are because we said their name I did
24:55
call them that then if they're not upset
24:59
then the people who aren't in that category will probably be upset because
25:02
we probably talked about it too lately Yeah so basically let's let's run let's
25:08
run run through what this is let's run through what this is in a nutshell yeah
25:11
we're damned if we do we're damned if we don't so chub which to be clear is not
25:16
the company that makes locks I wonder if they're doing this because someone
25:20
called them fat I wow was wondering if we were going to go
25:25
there or not thought about that before show I was like you know we aren't going
25:29
to go there if you troll the company that offers troll Insurance yeah what
25:33
happens I don't know like troll setion or like they have troll Insurance on
25:36
their own like I don't know can you do that I don't think you can do that cuz
25:40
you'd have to have some sounds like all over the place okay anyway so chub the
25:45
insurance company not the company that makes locks and security stuff Y is
25:49
offering this to their clients in the UK starting in 2016 they're defining it as
25:54
three or more acts by the same person or
25:57
group wondering how that's defined to harass threaten or intimidate a customer
26:03
so claims of up to $75,000 can be made for counseling
26:08
relocation due to online abuse or missed work and they offer certain things like
26:14
uh reputation management which can help restore your Public Image or uh hiring
26:19
of a forensic specialist who can try to
26:22
trace the origins of the trolling so the
26:25
policy uh so they they see it as a way
26:28
to help clients get back to where they were before the incidents
26:34
occurred
26:37
um wow now that I've now that I've kind of vomited all that into the microphone
26:43
I'm left sort of speechless there okay there are certain things in here I don't
26:47
know if I'd get insurance for it but there's certain things in here that I can actually totally defend I'm going to
26:53
Advocate this a little bit let do let's do it hit me hit me hit me bro come at
26:57
me bro loser that's one we're going to need
27:00
like a counter if it okay if I had Insurance on this and I was like
27:05
specific person and pointed out you you'd lose in like a day right but this
27:10
is online harassment I harass you in person hang outs and stuff that's that
27:14
is online is it online if you're in the same building
27:19
yes really yes so so it's still going out to a
27:25
server and then coming back so snapping like dick and hang out sing them to you that would
27:30
be hold on hold on on the internet comes back that's online if you're in the same
27:34
building but but if what if I'm in the
27:37
same room what if I'm in the same room if we were literally like and it was
27:40
both of us that would still be online okay okay anyway car car a willing
27:45
participant then that wouldn't be harassing carry on carry on okay so so
27:48
defend it defend anyways so if you are someone uh like say remember the Boston
27:54
bombing yes terrible not cool thing yep
27:57
we did it rdit if you're one of the people that
28:00
they targeted and you get death threats and stuff and you did nothing that sucks
28:05
and having a team of people backing you up and doing what is this one uh rep
28:09
reputation management team y that would
28:12
probably be helpful because that totally wasn't their fault and they got
28:16
massively trolled on and that probably sucks on like many different levels the
28:22
thing is while there's definitely cases
28:25
where online trolling goes way too far and his like super not okay like the
28:29
Boston bombing thing where they picked the wrong person and there's definitely
28:32
other examples of this I think the vast majority of the usage for this is going
28:37
to be tempted to be claimed on things
28:41
that are totally bull crap and one of my notes on here is that I'm hoping it's
28:45
only for Ultra aggressive cases like where I'm talking about with the Boston
28:49
boming thing totally wasn't their fault totally got slammed on really really
28:53
badly and totally wasn't their fault I think it's mostly going to be be like
28:58
kids on COD yelling at each other and then one of them getting sad and
29:01
someone's parents being like well I have this troll insurance thing let's just I
29:05
don't know they're all Cod players so that's a
29:09
group so I mean it's one of those things
29:12
where like and it comes back to like I was
29:17
making light of it before but the line between online harassment and in-person
29:21
harassment is very very gray um like
29:25
it's you know PE people who don't
29:28
believe in cyber bullying will often say well just unplug your internet
29:32
connection but it is very RAR I don't believe in a lot of what people Define
29:35
as cyber bullying no and that's true of me as well but but it does exist
29:41
something that people have to be aware of is that when the line is gray it can
29:45
be uh it can it can be something that can't be gotten rid of as easily as
29:50
unplugging an Ethernet cable like or just not playing that game cuz if if you
29:55
if you like aren't very good at legal Legends and people make fun of you for
29:58
it a lot maybe ignore chat or just if
30:02
that affects you that much just don't play league or play against bots or
30:05
something and another option would be to get better yeah like I don't count that
30:10
as like you just need to but there are
30:13
but there are many instances where the online cyber bullying can bleed over
30:18
into real life like it's you know someone sharing uh uh uh an you know
30:23
improperly obtained picture of you and then having to deal with the Fallout of
30:27
that that's a I didn't even think about that that's brutal so so the line the
30:30
line is very gray between what is what is online harassment and what is
30:34
inperson harassment because they can they can become one and the same and
30:37
it's not always as simple as just like oh well I just won't go online if I put
30:41
my head in the sand I mean it's funny because it's the same group of people saying well just ignore it as the same
30:46
group of people that would make fun of people for putting their head in the sand and ignoring a problem so like if
30:51
if if literally the forensic specialist That's tracing the origins of your
30:55
trolling is like oh you're bad at video
30:59
games then I don't know man figure it
31:03
out if it's random Anonymous people on the internet talking to you in a very
31:06
contained situation and once you stop playing that game it's over maybe find a
31:11
solution I don't know leave chat don't read chat do something if you're
31:17
actually being like improperly obtained picture yeah we
31:21
did it Reddit if it's like one of those types of situations like sure I think
31:25
this makes sense yeah but I mean they're they they're going to there's going to
31:28
be at least paying for troll Insurance because you think that's going to happen to you is
31:33
insane most insurance is set up like that where the odds are so slim that
31:38
you'd actually kind of like I mean you look at the the ma the way the math
31:41
works yeah is there have to be enough suckers who are paying for it and don't
31:46
need it to compensate for everyone who claims it and lots more that's the whole
31:51
idea that's insurance so I did get a uh
31:54
I did get like stop playing lead
31:58
oh I got I got a message I have to interrupt this program to bring you a
32:01
shout out for marks I don't know if he wants me to give his last name but I
32:06
promised him a shout out on the dual quad core old server gaming rig thing I
32:12
thought you did I thought I did too but it didn't make it into the Final Cut and
32:15
then I swear I watched it I asked for it to be added to the YouTube one and then
32:19
I never well I never watched the YouTube one so maybe it did get added maybe he's trolling me I swear I it said something
32:25
someone gave me this anyways whatever whatever it was Marx Who provided the
32:29
Zeon no not marks Work Warehouse no not
32:32
Carl Marx okay well anyway the point is he
32:38
provided the motherboard and the xeons and the RAM and the idea for doing that
32:42
video so I wanted to give a massive massive shout out to uh to to to Marks
32:47
here who is apparently watching the show so good job watching the show hi marks
32:52
you excellent person he also does some writing now for us maybe I watch Like a
32:56
pre-cut can this can this finish processing no the YouTube announcement
33:01
is not done processing yet I don't know what they're doing they've got hamsters
33:05
running the servers right now apparently so I'm gonna I'm going to try uploading
33:09
it again and see if oh that's from last
33:12
week I do not want that to go up to the oh why why do you hate me
33:19

33:36
do I'm fairly sure you don't know what you're talking about because I don't

37:14
okay there's one there many of those yeah we yeah we have lots of those we'll
37:17
we'll we'll settle for the old one today I well part of the problem is I took one
37:21
of the new ones home that's like did no I didn't take both of them I didn't even
37:25
know we had to yeah we have yeah I I snagged one like I knew you snagged one
37:29
so fast so fast so iix it has guides for
37:34
how to take apart your mobile devices put them back together um computers uh
37:38
desktops even laptops phones tablets all that kind of stuff and they have a full
37:43
lineup of tools that help you do it this is actually this is a really old one I
37:47
think um but everything from their Protek toolkit to their their more wait
37:52
no this is the this is the 52 driver kit sorry so the Protek tool kit which has
37:57
an ESD strap and like some pry tools and
38:01
actually their new one is even better it's got their suction cup in it and all
38:04
kinds of cool stuff all the way up to even like entire full like briefcase
38:08
size kits with a multimeter uh all the drivers the other set of drivers which
38:13
we have around here somewhere as well the problem is we can never keep track of where these are because we use them
38:17
so often and we have so many but they're great I love them why we have Taran half
38:23
the time I go into that room Taran has one on the desk next to him the new one
38:26
wonder if he does anyway the point
38:30
is um they've got all the stuff you need and you can save $10 on a purchase of
38:35
$50 or more by heading over to
38:39
ifixit.com Linus and entering the code when at
38:44
checkout that offer code changes fairly frequently so stay tuned make sure
38:48
you're always watching The W show to get the latest iix it offer
38:51
codes I guess that's that's pretty much it for so it was so good that someone
38:55
from work just took it no one better have like taken it home
38:59
also well you did for one of them well I took one of them I'm the boss I can and
39:03
I took part of one I didn't take like the whole did you check it out no we
39:08
don't enter tools in the system wow so I can just take tools home well you have
39:12
to let me know I let you know see
39:16
communication
39:20
okay but it wasn't here when we needed it that's true it wasn't here the new
39:24
one's really nice it is that's magnetic yeah it's got more stuff and it's yeah
39:28
it's it's really nice anyways all right so let's get into our next somewhat
39:32
touchy uh somewhat touchy topic here okay this is so stupid with how 2015 is
39:37
going everything's a touchy topic 2015 20 yeah oh oh balls okay I
39:46
just screwed up a thing well you know what balls touch H touchy are you are
39:51
you propositioning me I thought I already did that oh right but on on
39:59
air all right so this is this is worth
40:03
this is worth having yeah okay yeah okay
40:07
so the National Crime agency this is what UK or something right yeah um
40:12
released this TV ad spot which we can
40:16
have a quick look at basically it's the kind of the two over enthusiastic
40:21
parents I don't know if you guys have audio I'm just going to turn it off regardless right I turned off the wrong
40:25
thing um um so they're bragging about
40:28
how when he loses an online game he just takes down the server and oh those dos
40:34
things he does them all the time he's so smart they actually I thought they did a
40:37
really good job of this spot overall so they're bragging about what he's doing
40:41
etc etc etc and the punchline
40:45
is Bippity boity
40:49
uh so yeah I guess that's um what else
40:52
do what else do you want to know they like start at the beginning
40:57
and then yeah now we're in an interrogation room now to be clear there
41:02
was some Scare Tactics involved here of course it's like this kid could be yours
41:07
and it's got to do one of those cyber crime Rex lives kind of things because I
41:12
think those are those are mandatory by law in any kind of public service
41:16
announcement or uh or like like warning type thing I guess PSA would probably be
41:20
the correct term for this um
41:25
but the issue that I have with how people
41:32
are receiving this is is is okay well
41:35
first first let's first let's get into this so I'm going to start with our
41:39
source here so blogs are taking this
41:42
campaign and I think running completely the wrong direction with it yeah that's
41:46
a really obnoxious ad hey yeah so this Blog the next web yeah I know I know
41:51
super obnoxious site the writing isn't much better goes okay according to the
41:56
National Crime agency the UK's version of the FBI they have a new campaign
42:00
that's aimed at cutting cyber crime especially amongst teams teams teens
42:05
teens teens not teams cyber crime teams are by the so this is where it this is
42:09
where it goes all fullon sensationalist never go full sensationalist by the
42:13
nca's definition we might all be super hackers here's what to look for is your
42:17
child spending all of the time all of their time online are they interested in
42:21
coding do they have Independent Learning material on Computing do they have
42:24
irregular sleeping patterns do they get an income from their online activities
42:28
do you know why and how are they resistant when asked about what they do
42:32
online do they use the full data allowance of the home broadband have
42:35
they become more socially isolated hey Mom in fact oh yeah I know right me too
42:41
everything in fact all these warning signs would apply to my friends and
42:44
colleagues blah blah blah but I'm not a I'm not a cyber criminal as you can see
42:48
no parent should assume that any of these things are precursors to a life of infamy and really badass scenes of movie
42:54
hackery they're not saying bottom line hold on the bottom line according to
42:58
this blogger talk to your kids well this blogger never read the actual the actual
43:04
NCA page nice flowers Dennis because that's
43:08
exactly what they said here it is here's the actual
43:13
article that people should probably look at before crapping all over what I think
43:17
is actually a fairly wellp put together little piece here so what is cyber crime
43:23
they give examples of cyber crime gaining access to someone's computer network with without their permission
43:26
making supplying or obtaining malware carrying out dos distributed denial of
43:30
service attacks they don't even include the I mean I think probably the most
43:36
outstanding thing about this this article here and this campaign is that
43:41
they're not even going after piracy they're ignoring piracy they don't even
43:45
mention it they're not like they're not even including piracy under the same
43:48
umbrella as cyber crime something that I wish more people had noticed and would
43:52
have realized is actually a pretty important distinction because they're
43:56
really not the same thing okay someone chat said rip tinu who will save us now
44:01
that's actually kind of funny yeah into the system into the ACC that's going Ed
44:08
yeah um so then they go on to say okay well here's the consequences and they
44:12
don't even say you're going to go to jail forever you could get a visit and
44:15
warning from police or NC off officers you could get arrested their computers
44:19
could be seized and they could be prevented from being allowed to access the internet penalties are fine up to 10
44:23
years in prison for serious offenses
44:27
things to look out for are they resistant when asked what they do online
44:31
do they get an income from their online activities do you know why and how it's
44:34
funny how when I read this in a different voice it doesn't sound like such a crazy thing are they spending all
44:38
of their time online do they have irregular sleeping patterns have they become more socially isolated okay many
44:44
of these things are just normal teenage behaviors this is right out of the
44:48
freaking article basically the second line take it in isolation they don't
44:53
necessarily suggest that a young person is at risk risk of being involved they
44:57
are just possible indicators that your child is getting into the wrong
45:01
activities if you're MLG pro it's fine if a young person is showing several of
45:05
these signs try and have a conversation with them about their online activities
45:08
this will allow you to assess their computer knowledge proficiency so you can understand what they're doing
45:13
explain the consequences of cyber crime and help them make the right choice
45:17
there's nothing wrong with the way that this is written and then there's another
45:20
video If you scroll down a little bit this is great ways to use cyber skills
45:24
positively so here's a bunch of stuff and then this video is great former
45:27
hacker ex- haacker went to jail he was
45:30
like yep if I had realized if someone
45:34
well he he said if someone had presented opportunities to me I would have done it
45:38
so the whole idea here isn't actually about like oh my God your kid's a
45:43
criminal it's like maybe talk to them and show them like hey you're interested
45:48
in this stuff that's cool you can there's a whole bunch different job
45:51
paths you can go down and so you know I think a lot of the time people will go
45:56
like oh they're saying that if I have computer skills I'm a hacker H yeah
46:00
anyone with coding skills is a hacker well no but not everyone with
46:05
lockpicking skills is a burglar but with that said or you are a hacker but not in
46:10
the bad way yes and if my son or daughter is picking up a lot of
46:15
lockpicking skills spending a lot of time out late at night and has
46:19
inexplicable new possessions which is pretty much what that list was saying
46:23
that doesn't mean I'm I it doesn't mean that they're a burglar they could be
46:28
they could have a a lockpicking job on the side for a locksmith and know
46:32
someone that works a lot and can only hang out at night time or whatever but
46:37
that doesn't mean I shouldn't have that conversation hey what are you up to you
46:41
know that if you're doing something that's not a good thing to be up to that
46:45
that can be a problem these are the consequences this is your life you need to hon that's all the NCA is saying if
46:51
your parenting style happens to be one of those ones where you're like Ultra
46:55
involved with your kids interests there's a lot of really cool hacking
46:58
stuff you can do that's like not criminal even remotely and they outline
47:03
a lot of that stuff yeah like there's some really cool [ __ ] you can do making
47:07
things work the way you want them to work is a very cool thing and it's fun
47:13
so so there you go I just wanted to throw another another voice into the the
47:19
mix of people that are that are trash talking this because they apparently
47:23
didn't take the it's not even a long article it took me like a minute and a
47:28
half to read it and go this is perfectly fine they've actually tackled this in
47:32
probably the best way they possibly could because the reality of it is is a
47:36
lot of the people leaving comments on that video are being elitist to douches
47:41
about it quite frankly this campaign is designed for not you techsavvy
47:46
youngsters yeah I know that you guys are you know oh I know what a DOS is you
47:51
know blah blah blah if it's in this context you know whatever like
47:56
understand all this stuff but they were trying to present it in terms that like
47:59
my mom would understand or maybe someone slightly younger than my mom I'm not
48:03
exactly a teen someone in chat was like Luke they're called Network
48:06
professionals or app developers no they're not that's that's not the only
48:10
types of hacking at all that's not the well that's not the only types of ethical hacking at all there's stuff you
48:14
can do at home that affects literally zero other people that is hacking that
48:18
has nothing to do with networking it has nothing to do with app development and
48:22
it's fine and they even Define the cyber
48:26
crime what is a cyber crime really really well it's when you access someone
48:30
else's Network without permission you can access someone else's network with
48:34
permission and that can be hacking if they're if you're if you're saying okay
48:38
I'm going to try and keep you out you try and get in that's that that's
48:41
practice think of it that way I think there's still relative laws around that
48:45
but if you do it like in a contained environment and stuff they have
48:48
hackathons yeah like which are actually hacking in some cases and they're like
48:54
good it's helpful so yeah there you go
48:58
Tesla has like huge bounties on if you can hack something in the model S tell
49:02
them how you did it maybe work with them on how to solve the problem
49:06
great all right so let's get into the
49:10
funniest topic of the week probably
49:14
completely unintentionally funny although part of me really does Wonder
49:19
like are they just seeing how far they
49:22
can push things is that what apple is up
49:26
to at this point this has been making okay the okay
49:30
the white case is literally
49:33
hilarious they've been make it reminds me of a scene from Alien it's like I I
49:39
feel like I feel like a battery alien is going to like push itself out of the
49:44
back of the phone there was a point in time where like we can hate on Apple as
49:48
much as you want but there was a point in time that if you walked into an Apple Store you could pretty much assume that
49:53
everything especially directly from Apple was probably solid in terms of
49:57
like design manufacturing this is not
50:01
for like a bunch of reasons horr one of
50:05
them the the material that it is picks
50:08
up things and clings to it so there's there's a video Lou has onbox therapy
50:13
where he puts the white one in his jeans pocket and he shows like these are
50:17
they're not the loosest jeans ever but they're definitely not skinny jeans ever
50:21
either um drops the phone in his pocket pulls it back out and it's like covered
50:25
in L like what it's like I've given a
50:30
lot of crap to companies over the years that have released products that I like
50:35
what I like to say is obviously no one ever actually used it um like antec had
50:40
a case what was it the uh the dark force DF 85 or something like that I know what
50:46
you're referencing but I I I remember talking to I think you about it where I
50:49
was just like did anyone at antech build a computer in this Tower oh yeah yeah
50:53
yeah yeah okay yeah and I was pretty sure that they did not must not um this
50:59
really feels this really feels like one of those kinds of things where where
51:03
about you'll see him standing up he's standing up uh I don't think it's yeah he puts
51:10
the phone in first so it's a little bit after this where does he stand up dang
51:14
it Lou it's before that bit oh here we
51:17
go here we go okay so lineus screen share there we go there's our buddy Lou
51:21
so he puts a white fo in his pocket takes it back out and then look at this he doesn't even get that close in on it
51:26
yeah and like but it's like covered in junk so it's just like what what are you
51:31
what are you actually doing um this this is really great I was reading um I was
51:36
reading the comments under someone in the chat has a tf85 and okay he's pretty
51:40
upset he said that I'm sorry to hear that um okay so uh this was really great
51:45
I was reading comments on someone's article about this somewhere and they're
51:49
just like yeah I at the Apple Store I work at we're all just still
51:53
recommending the Mofi case that we still
51:57
stock that's like way way Slicker in
52:00
terms of design has a higher capacity battery and just we like we can't figure
52:06
out any advantage to the first party accessory here so apparently it's been
52:12
nicknamed the hump already um saw a really great meme already someone
52:16
photoshopped a picture of uh uh Apple's new lead designer and it's just a camel
52:20
in the middle of the desert apparently this is sexy now
52:27
so I mean here's what I have to say my
52:31
favorite thing about this and I don't remember if I already said this on the show or if I said this in the in the
52:35
show announcement or whatever but this this is what I have to say about this I
52:40
had a really great week because this week I guess couple weeks I got my hands
52:45
on the surface book yeah I know you didn't have a great week I got my hands
52:49
on the surface book Microsoft's clear
52:52
acknowledgement clear message to me directly that I was right and that the
52:57
Surface Pro 3 is not a replacement for a laptop because if it was they wouldn't
53:02
have needed to release a laptop so I really enjoyed that like it made me feel
53:06
so warm and fuzzy inside uh not warm and fuzzy enough to not return the Surface
53:10
Book I did end up doing that I was prepared to keep it if it was good
53:13
enough okay but I still prefer the blade 14 um even though I don't game really
53:18
much at all on it um and then this clear
53:23
indication that apple is acknowledging
53:26
that I was right it is time to
53:29
acknowledge that the iPhone's battery is not good enough and that if that's what
53:34
it takes if a cluggy solution with a hump hanging off the back of it is what
53:39
it takes it's time to lose the snobby attitude about making it making it
53:44
thinner and making it more flat or
53:49
whatever and just make a slightly thicker phone it could even be a
53:52
different model like the iPhone 6s extended or whatever you want or the 6E
53:58
or whatever you want to call it one that has better
54:02
battery that would be great
54:08
thanks so uh yeah I guess that's all there wow is that all there is to really
54:12
say about it it's really stupid man what were they thinking there's nothing it it
54:16
picks up lint it doesn't look very good I've heard that it doesn't feel very
54:20
good in terms of material but I'm not sure about that I've heard that it feels
54:23
awkward to hold in your fit hand great also Apple's acknowledgement that a
54:27
curved shape at the back is probably easier to hold although Apple you went
54:31
about it all wrong just throwing that out there you could see the LG G4 for
54:37
pointers a curved back without also having a flat back and some weird like
54:42
spandex leotard that it wears that is like stuffed to make its junk look
54:46
bigger and like a lot of people have been saying it super just looks like
54:50
they had a whole bunch of batteries and they're like hey we can put some
54:54
material around it sell them I guess like it it doesn't
54:59
look like a product design thing it looks like a hey we have a lot of these
55:02
let's find some way to get rid of it which I don't believe is what happened
55:06
to be very clear no no but it looks that way which is bad yeah it really look you
55:11
don't want it to look that way compatibility at least it works with the
55:15
six so at least they didn't be like yeah it's only for 6s customers right
55:21
um yeah I don't know yeah
55:26
yeah this is great oh yeah wired couldn't even get a full charge off the
55:30
case it's only about a 75% charge so that puts it somewhere in the
55:34
neighborhood of probably around, 1600 milliamp hours it's not even equivalent
55:37
to the onboard battery so wow so full of
55:42
fail um so I guess we're into kind of
55:45
Rapid Fire topics for the day y it's gonna be kind of a short show today I
55:48
guess is okay not that short liking the
55:52
wrong picture on Facebook can get you in prison in Thailand to be clear this is
55:57
something that um Thai people are mostly
56:01
aware of but defaming the monarchy is illegal under the criminal Tha criminal
56:05
code 112 so um yeah
56:10
basically in a nutshell this this guy uh
56:13
was sentenced to 30 years in prison his Facebook activity was deemed insulting
56:17
to the monarchy people are just making fun of 10 years in prison for hacking
56:22
yeah yeah years Inon
56:26
that some pretty brutal stuff I was reading an article about this and uh one
56:29
of the comments under it was what about freedom of speech yeah freedom of speech
56:33
is like not a thing in a lot of parts of the world
56:36
actually this is cool actually I had not
56:40
seen this I must have skipped over this speed test.net now allows users to check
56:44
their internet speeds using HTML 5 no
56:47
more flash required God very excellent I wonder if the test work webite felt so
56:53
old I want to uh I want to do a speed speed test right now I'm going to do one
56:56
remember it's not going to be 100% accurate I know I know but I'm going to do it anyway I'm going to do it anyway
57:01
don't screenshot it don't scre I will not screenshot it oh what you oh what do
57:04
you have to do they've got an HTMI HTML
57:07
5 beta site that you have to access so I'm going to have to I'll go find beta
57:11
dot uh I don't know um I'll find it you
57:15
keep doing things I want to find it you do a thing get
57:20
wrecked what if we just both try to find it what if we just both try to find it
57:24
good good idea I think it is beta
57:29
dot oh I think so way to go
57:35
Luke I blame you for this no no it's not or it's not
57:40
oh oh so bad www doesn't
57:49
work how long did it take you to resolve that on line Tech tips.com 10 minutes
57:54
did we have that Pro yeah exactly oh we
57:58
didn't have it set up correctly for like a bit and I was like hey Luke when you
58:02
type in the www it doesn't work you're like oh yeah
58:05
right okay I don't even remember all
58:09
right all right you doing it it'sing yeah so it doesn't look like there's
58:13
nothing really going on so they're like hm 5 we'll do basically yeah it looks
58:18
kind of different I can add like don't worry don't worry I got this just be
58:21
careful I I got this i got this
58:25
so there you go looks a little something like that high speed inter interwebs uh
58:30
it doesn't work properly for us um I've talked to our ISP about the fact that
58:35
our internet never tests at the speed that we're it's supposedly rated at and
58:39
they're just like well cold hard truth is this um the the servers that are
58:45
hosting speed test services are they're
58:48
not exclusive to that and they've got gigabit pipes so unless you're speed
58:52
testing to a server that has a gigabit pipe has nothing else going on and has
58:57
no one else running a speed test you're not going to see your full speed because you're on a gigabit pipe and I'm like
59:02
that makes sense I just kind of assumed that like they were more powerful as it
59:06
seems to be working yeah like we get the effective speeds yeah but like I can
59:12
upload something faster than 285.0 megabit per second right now yeah that's
59:17
what that's what I mean like it's it's not like our Internet's working it's
59:21
just it's speed test it's like nope your internet's too fast I can't measure it
59:25
and there are cases where you can measure full gigabit like for example in
59:28
Google's campus I was able to get one millisecond ping gigabit up gigabit down
59:32
but that was because the speed test server is probably in the same damn building wouldn't be surprised so at all
59:38
so there you go with that wouldn't that
59:41
just kill you if you lived like 10
59:44
blocks away from like a Google building or something like that and you couldn't
59:47
get Google Fiber it's like c c can I just can I just run like a really long
59:52
Ethernet cable speaking of running a really long Ethernet cable it's
59:56
confirmed um ubiquity networks is
60:00
sending us their dish-based pointto point gigabit gear I was just going to
60:05
actually say I wonder if you just got close enough that you could have like an access point or a repeater grab their
60:10
Wi-Fi send it to a landline and then like shoot it to your house um try to
60:15
feed off of like Google's internet not
60:18
that you should ever do that I don't condone anything that I just said fairly sure that breaks at least several laws
60:24
yep so so but anyway back to the thing that we could do that would be legal not
60:28
a good plan is this gear is capable of like 40 km links I don't know if you can
60:34
get full gigabit with a 40 km link but
60:38
there's a couple different ways we're going to try and tackle it we're either going to do like a moving Vlog like a
60:43
project Vlog style thing where we try and get a gigabit link to my house from
60:48
the office which I would absolutely love
60:51
and would be awesome I'll just I'll keep I don't think that's going to work I I
60:55
don't think it's going to work either just cuz of like we'd have to get really
60:58
high obstructions yeah like physically High because of obstructions like like
61:04
up vertical you have to like Minecraft it like this isn't really going to work
61:08
with that said I am on the strata Council oh my God our neighbor hold on
61:12
just just just hold on just hold on just just bear with me what about your house
61:15
hold on or do you just want to go high enough that you can like angle it down
61:18
okay just just wait just calm down for a second okay I'm on the strata Council
61:22
neighbor our neighbor our ba neighbor who like Bes he's on the Strat Council
61:28
I'd be like I'd be like yo dog can you vote with me on this I want to put a
61:32
giant antenna on top of our unit he'd be like yeah whatever man you just offer
61:37
yeah to be fair he would and two if you were like if you buy the equipment I can
61:40
put one up for you too he'd be super down so so yeah so yeah so it's like
61:44
it's like he's a cool guy and there's a
61:47
tree near my house that is like pretty
61:51
tall and I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to do this but I was say is it yours no but it's really close to my
61:56
house paint the antenna green yeah yeah I I've got camo tap I mean don't listen
62:00
to me I've got I've got camo duct tape dog so oh my god there you
62:07
go so oh my goodness if it can be done we're either going to do that or if
62:11
that's just a total disaster and isn't going to happen uh we can't get approval
62:15
or whatever else you've heard of like Pirate Radio stuff right yeah oh yeah oh
62:20
yeah oh yeah then my parents live on the 39th floor or something have a highrise
62:25
oh no so I'm going to put a unit up there and I'm going to try and get a
62:28
link to like my house or something oh my God so that's the backup going to make
62:32
your own giant local network it's going to be freaking awesome one way or
62:36
another I'm super stoked uh we did get two units but one of them is not one of
62:41
them's like the consumer grade one so I don't know if it's going to do that long of a
62:45
link anyway um so super cool that's
62:49
gonna I'm so I am so down for a gigabit
62:53
link to the office so yeah this is pretty cool this was
62:57
posted on the Forum by Kesh I'm sorry we've been really bad about that lately
63:01
someone in the chat just says uh just said where I work uses this a lot that's
63:07
cool it's cool stuff I'm assuming it's either shorter and or clearer runs
63:12
though yep or they like or they have access to towers and permission to use
63:17
them yeah yeah we don't none of those that's what this gear is used for a lot
63:20
of the time is for like uh mobile internet service providers um like like
63:25
cellular data carriers is they're going to have these on their towers so they'll
63:29
have point-to-point links all over the place like if you look at a cell tower
63:32
it's going to have like tons of dishes on it so um so one of the ones that we
63:37
got is like kind of a consumer Grady one that's actually fairly affordable and
63:41
could be great for if you have like a back shed or a barn or something super
63:45
cool solution we might do a separate video about that there was a guy that I
63:49
knew in high school now keep in mind this sounds like a huge amount of
63:52
property but where I went to high school is pretty far out and then where they
63:55
lived was like beyond that so this is like deep in Farmville um not the game
64:01
yeah so like way back on its property
64:05
like pretty far there was this giant building where they did metal fabrication I did a website for them
64:09
when I was in high school um would have been super helpful for them it wasn't
64:15
very good second it wasn't very oh
64:18
dang um that probably would have helped them a lot cuz they had to run this like
64:23
terrible I think they had a dedicated internet line for that building because
64:27
switching it was like not a good option and all this kind of stuff so if they
64:30
could have just done that that would have been super great um anyway so the other unit we're
64:35
getting is like a carrier carrier grade one so uh that's the one that will be
64:40
running to my house CU I'm the boss if
64:43
uh if we end up doing this look at this guy look at this guy terrible shaking
64:47
his head terrible I am terrible all right so let's uh go ahead meet the
64:53
Android phone with a humongous 10,000 Milah battery now to be clear I'm giving
64:58
Apple crap you should see one year if you can just you know how you got your parents the Sonos thing yeah you should
65:02
see if you can just cover all of your present needs with with your gifting
65:06
present needs with like including like your own so like
65:11
just so the entire month of December should be presents for lonus and his
65:16
family and his friends and his employees is that where you're getting at with
65:19
this I wasn't actually but that
65:23
works um okay so to be clear I'm giving
65:26
Apple crap for shipping 1,800 milliamp hour batteries in their Flagship like
65:30
thousand devices but I'm also not saying that this is necessarily the solution I
65:35
think Apple's battery should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,000
65:38
to 3200 milliamp hours that would get you through an actual heavy use stage
65:43
where you actually want to navigate somewhere this is pretty extreme it oh
65:49
there's not that many pictures on that's what I mean like I was trying to look this up all I can really tell is that it
65:53
looks like it's kind of from from the '90s no no there's uh I found more
65:56
pictures of it somewhere else this uh article just doesn't have a lot of pictures I couldn't find any thickness
66:00
pictures cuz if it's not that insanely thick and it happens to have 10,000
66:04
milliamps on it pry cool it's thicker than a droid turbo like it's pretty it's
66:08
pretty hefty the thing that the thing that actually both bothers me about it
66:12
though and is also really cool about it is that I wouldn't want to use it
66:16
because the specs for it are quite low in it's using like G one GHz mediatech
66:21
quad core or something like that um 16 G like total overall storage memory which
66:27
is not very good it is expandable uh 720p display 5 and A2 inch uh display 2
66:32
gigs RAM like it's it's very not amazing
66:37
but what's cool about that is that a 10,000 mamp hour battery it's going to
66:41
power that forever like you would actually probably be able to go about a
66:44
week on this thing seriously uh it supports 4gte on both of its SIM card
66:50
slots so it actually looks pretty interesting um with that said I'm not
66:54
I'm not running out to buy one either I don't know why I'm doing this but
66:57
someone in the chat said help I can't get above 60 FPS in Fallout 4 try
67:00
turning off vsync that's probably your problem okay let's continue okay Spotify
67:05
is reportedly considering making some music available only to paid
67:12
users so um yeah so that it'll be like
67:16
kind of a windowed thing that will withhold certain albums from users who
67:20
aren't paying who are accessing the service freely and purely supported so
67:25
about Spotify has roughly 80 million users 20 million who pay and 60 million
67:30
who don't and the Wall Street Journal reported that Spotify will test this new
67:35
approach Spotify did comment we are 100% committed to our model because we
67:39
believe that a free ad supported tier combined with a more robust premium tier
67:43
is the best way to deliver music to fans create value for artists and songwriters
67:47
and grow the industry in that context we explored a wide range of promotional
67:51
options for the new Coldplay album and ultimately decided together with
67:54
management that Co Planet fans would be best served with the full album on both
67:59
free and premium this Friday so they're
68:02
still committed to doing it the way they were going to do it it's okay um but
68:07
that doesn't mean that they aren't going to experiment with different monetization models because that's the
68:11
thing that the digital age allows us to do which is kind of cool is do things
68:16
that are new and different and give consumers choice I am not going to hate
68:20
on them for this and uh yeah I mean I'm
68:23
ultim glad that they're still doing the free ad supported model even though I
68:27
personally pay for my music streaming service because I really don't want to
68:30
listen to ads in it and I plan to subscribe to YouTube red as soon as I possibly can and all of that stuff which
68:35
who knows I really hope it comes to Canada soon but uh there you go it was maybe
68:41
going to happen and then it didn't happen and speaking of things that were maybe going to happen and didn't happen
68:44
Firefox phone Mozilla has killed the Firefox phone with that said they are
68:50
not writing off the Firefox OS and we
68:53
could see pop up in other devices in the
68:56
future so Mozilla said to Tech crunch well we weren't able to offer the best
69:01
user experience possible so asked it which is a responsible thing
69:06
to do yep I guess that's pretty much all I
69:10
have to say for today yeah I don't know I think that's good oh actually no I
69:14
have one more thing to hate on yep stick around for the hate this is that thing
69:18
that I teased before that wasn't oh yeah I know nothing about this yeah that's
69:22
fine it's really easy this is the most amazing thing that I've seen to date get
69:28
this imagine this oh a pocket PC as
69:32
portable and light as a smartphone yet as powerful as a desktop
69:38
PC you can back it now on Indiegogo I
69:42
would love to see what their Indiegogo page looks like where really learn more
69:47
click the join button I'm in an endless loop join that one there we
69:52
go why have they raised
69:57
$300,000 is it Flex let's find out oh it's done is it
70:02
done oh yeah so they're done original campaign was
70:07
2,945 per funded okay so whoops whoops
70:12
okay back to back to the back to the site you shouldn't be allowed to say
70:17
something this asinine on the internet let's just let's
70:22
just restrict that there internet okay I'm with Mr Trump on this free
70:26
speech bro so it's portable no but this is false advertising it's a completely
70:30
different thing yeah I don't know what it is okay
70:34
well let's let's get I'll wait until I figure what it's portable it's got super
70:39
fast storage the flash storage is much faster than regular commonly used 5400
70:43
RPM hard diss it is silent it is Intel
70:48
powered combined with two gigs of RAM and and an Intel highdef graphics card
70:52
you shouldn't be allowed to call call onboard Graphics a graphics card by the way it is not on a card it is especially
70:58
not on a card because you could make the argument that a motherboard is just a big card back in the days when the igpu
71:04
was on the North Bridge it is especially not a card now that it's on die with a
71:09
super fast 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi card also
71:13
oh that probably is a card and integrated Bluetooth 4.0 you can connect
71:16
to devices within the blink of an eye and browse and watch online videos
71:21
possessive should have probably spell checked I mean I try not to be a
71:24
nitpicky person about that kind of stuff if you're not being a complete [ __ ]
71:28
but that's not what's Happening Here quicker than ever before is it is it in
71:32
this next picture uh not really that's it so
71:36
that's the PC quad core Intel Adam Bay tril okay so
71:42
a bay tril is not a desktop processor this is not faster than a desktop
71:46
processor and while it isn't bigger than a phone it also isn't more than a phone
71:50
it's just a phone also Intel has much
71:54
more powerful PCS that are exactly the same size or very similar if maybe a
72:01
little bit bigger like a little bit taller is thicker yeah it's not as long
72:05
though but Gigabyte has bricks ones that are thinner if I recall correctly so um
72:10
yeah so there's a thing that totally exists there's also the Intel compute
72:14
stick yep which is smaller than this and I believe probably way more usable I
72:17
don't remember if it's a quad or a dual core though so not fast but like what
72:22
are you going to do on this that you can't do onter sick one HDMI output why
72:26
are we funding this this is this is stuff that exists already this is and
72:32
like the the thing that really makes me mad is not that it's a tiny computer
72:36
that's fine let me see if twitch a pocket PC as portable and light as a
72:40
smartphone yet as powerful as a desktop PC come on come on the super fast quad core it's
72:46
literally the slowest quad core they make the super fast quad core Intel
72:50
processor ensures you have enough power to use serious speed for any t people in
72:54
chat are claiming that the compute stick is a quad core yeah I think I think it
72:57
might be I don't I did the video I should probably know but I don't remember yeah but we don't always
73:01
remember everything that we uh everything that we make a video about we make a video literally every day give a
73:05
break like the compute stick was usable and it's kind of in an interesting form
73:09
factor and you can plug it directly into a monitor and like but what it isn't as
73:13
as powerful as a desktop no but that wasn't the point yes whereas this that's
73:18
my issue yeah is they're just being ass
73:22
Hats about the whole thing
73:25
so uh yeah I guess that's pretty much all I
73:29
have to say about that there it is there's the Serius B so the fusion C is
73:34
just probably what Zotac does
73:40
yep so are both of those probably yep
73:43
with that said if they have a nice ID like I can see them having a place but I
73:47
just I hate it when you're misrepresenting what it is entirely it's like it's no bigger or heavier than a
73:51
smartphone well yeah that's cuz it basically as a smartphone without a screen or a
73:55
battery I could make a smartphone that's
73:59
well okay I personally couldn't but you could take a smartphone I could take a
74:02
smartphone take the battery and screen off of it there you go business
74:08
model oh wow sell the screens as
74:12
replacement screens for people that need to fix their phones sell the batteries
74:15
for replacement batteries for people that need to fix their phones sell the inside for more by claiming it's more
74:21
than it is oh wow all right well thank you for watching The W show we will see
74:25
you guys again next week same bat Time
74:28
same bat Channel I'm going to stream tonight okay
74:34
by I'm dedicating are you I'm actually do it
74:38
can twitch give you C have you noticed our viewership has
74:42
been like I don't know what's going on I
74:45
don't know why people are watching our I mean I know why they watch our
74:49
videos our videos are great I just don't know why they stop
74:52
watching I
74:55
guess that's
75:01
true is it wrong that I just kind of take for granted that people should
75:04
watch our content because it's amazing uh I think we've had good content
75:09
lately I think so too I don't
75:14
know says we we can hear you I know yeah we know we know we know you guys are
75:18
cool you guys are like inner sanctum you stuck around till after the outro
75:21
actually this is pretty much everyone it's seems like no one really Tunes out until after the I think it's cuz we've
75:26
made a habit of just we don't stop talking right cuz we do that like every
75:30
week yeah but I Blame You yeah that's
75:33
probably Fair yeah what they can't do is see us we could be making out right now
75:37
