well that was fun I think we're actually live for real this time and uh you know
0:05
third time's a charm right so let's go
0:08
through our topics extremely quickly we're going to do the million subscriber
0:12
giveaway this week on The W show live here in front of all of you we're going
0:16
to talk about Apple's bendgate Fiasco with the iPhone 6 plus he's lost his
0:21
topic introduction privileges I've covered this before but for those of you
0:24
who are freshly watching this and didn't watch the first two fall starts of the
0:27
show I got to make sure I throw that in there Paul and Kyle have both left
0:33
Newegg and we're going to have them on the show to talk a little bit about
0:36
what's going on maybe we'll do some Twitter blitzing and Intel spent a
0:40
metric bucket ton of money on their new
0:44
10 nanometer process manufacturing
0:47
facility in Israel or will rather it's
0:50
not like done yet we can't have 10 nanometer processors yet but soon we
0:57
hope see if this works
1:01
yeah I don't hear any sound
1:08
whatever I just died in a
1:12
SW wait for it wait for it wait for it wait for
1:17
it and you think that's
1:22
funny okay so anyway uh Squarespace is one of our sponsors for the show today
1:26
create your own beautiful functional website it's affordable it's scalable
1:30
and it's 10% off with offer code Linus also we have ah linda.com also a sponsor
1:36
of the show today learn expand your mind make your brain more smarter linda.com
1:41
and that is exactly how they asked me to say that here's a hint it's not so we've
1:49
got a lot of great topics for this week can I help you nope
1:54
okay a lot of great topics for this week there's a rumor that is on wccf Tech
2:00
although don't freak out it's actually originally posted by PC tuning that
2:05
NVIDIA's Maxwell gm200 GPU could be
2:08
coming as soon as Q4 of this year so
2:13
it's rumored to have a die size of 551 mm squar making it the big core in the
2:18
Maxwell family with over 2500 Cuda core
2:22
so anywhere from 2560 to 2816 and
2:27
Okay so we decided to troll you a little
2:31
bit if you notice your shirt is slightly
2:34
different than my shirt my shirt's better my shirt has three people and so
2:39
do all of theirs hello so there's a whole bunch of shirts that have three
2:43
people and if you pay a lot of attention
2:46
who design logo on the back and if you
2:50
pay a lot of attention to what's on the shirt there's fractal Josh in the middle
2:54
cuz he's super tall and he's bro like bro fisting me and then throwing a pie
2:59
in your face yeah that's a pretty lame
3:05
shirt well I told him I wouldn't tell
3:09
you but Brandon might have leaked the SEC you're so lame it was a complete
3:17
accident how did you do that I unzipped my hoodie and then he saw it I was like
3:21
he oh well actually initially he's like oh nice shirt and then and then I turned
3:25
around I'm thinking that he didn't realize you a tape over mine so I have I
3:29
have prepared in advance my
3:35
rebuttal which is that you are fired you are no longer allowed to be on
3:41
my like ARM and legs are still there no don't worry I'm going to deal with
3:44
it God Brandon you're horrible I'm sorry
3:48
it was an accident you could have at least told me well I told him I wouldn't tell you
3:53
guys but then I did but then you wow I
3:57
want I want that smash back
4:00
oh get wrecked Josh says if people want
4:03
these shirts blow up his Twitter handle I don't know if you guys heard that but
4:07
apparently if people want the shirt self bro fist we only need one bro that's
4:13
just depressing no we only need one bro from kind sad I feel bad for you feel
4:19
bad for you you just lost your job yeah
4:22
get wrecked you still here
4:27
yes anyways so so I guess we should talk about the graphics card or whatever yeah
4:32
so back to that graphics card that we've talked about sort of one and a half
4:36
times already um this rumor actually
4:40
kind of makes sense so it's they're saying it's going to have a 384-bit
4:43
memory bus approximately 50% boost in performance over the GTX Titan black and
4:48
that it'll have double the performance per watt of the GK 110 which powered the
4:52
780 780 Ti Titan and Titan black so this
4:56
all actually makes a great deal of sense and is in line with NVIDIA's usual
5:00
strategy of one big core a mediumsized core which we can tell just by looking
5:05
at GM 204 that's what that is that's
5:08
that's not the top top tier card and uh
5:11
or at least the eventual top tier Maxwell card and then the the trickle
5:14
down keeps on going from there so um I
5:17
don't know I the one thing that we're
5:21
both not entirely sure about is the Q4 2014 launch date or or they're saying
5:26
should be within 2 months that sounds a little bit extreme maybe yeah and I mean
5:30
if that happens it'll be a compute card like a Tesla or a um or maybe even a
5:36
Quadro maybe not a consumer grade card
5:39
um although I mean who knows maybe I Maybe I'm Wrong maybe it'll be Titan 2
5:43
or something like that yeah could be possible all right moving on to our next
5:47
also NVIDIA related news Kingpin oh sorry that first one was originally
5:52
posted on the Forum by big stuns thank
5:55
you for that I don't know if it's stuns or like stro
6:00
no one's really sure that's the thing about online handles yeah is like are
6:03
capitals emphasis or how can you ever
6:07
really get a handle on something that's just Digital
6:12
Data well could grabbing a hard drive be
6:15
getting a handle on Digital Data or an
6:20
SSD because you're technically holding
6:24
it I think this might be the longest silence we've ever had on the W show I
6:29
basically talk constantly don't I didn't we have it no cuz I think we had like a
6:33
a one minute silence for something did we I think there was yeah whatever it
6:38
was it was probably something inappropriate and not something that actually deserved one minute silence
6:42
100% I don't I think so I don't remember what it was but it like didn't make a
6:45
ton of sense but we had a we had a minute silence for you seems like the
6:48
kind of thing I would do um all right so Mech 777 posted on the Forum that quote
6:54
unquote Maxwell is an overclocking monster Kingpin and Tin have cracked 2
6:59
GHz plus this was on L2 yeah I mean to be
7:03
clear you won't be cracking 2 gz plus unless you cool with liquid nitrogen but
7:09
uh got any more details while I they're running their core at 2103 MHz and their
7:13
memory at 1753 so all of that is just generally
7:17
insane um again though ln2 liquid
7:21
nitrogen they ran fire they got a fire strike score of
7:25
1940 and they got a fire strike 19,40 yeah my bad and they got a fire
7:30
strike extreme score of 9191 absolutely
7:35
ridiculous apparently the overclock was attributed to low power consumption yeah
7:40
low power consumption I mean also any of the other optimizations that NVIDIA's
7:43
made in Maxwell there's a lot of stuff that's still under the hood with Maxwell
7:47
that I think they're either waiting for the bigger core to reveal I mean that's
7:52
what that's what they do they tend to kind of pace the releases of their news
7:56
um speaking of that's why competition's good because if there isn't a ton of
8:01
competition that pace can go at whatever speed they want and if they're like well
8:05
if we develop slower then we don't have to spend as much on R&D and they just
8:09
slow the pace down well I don't think they're doing that because me neither
8:12
I'm saying just in general that's why competition's good I think it's just the
8:16
way that the way that the um the way that the R&D is being directed these
8:20
days where they still have to continue to develop and stay competitive in um
8:26
HPC for example so they're they still want to pump better GPU cores as fast as
8:31
possible we just might end up with ones that are more compute optimized and this
8:35
has been happening over the last few years that also happened to be fantastic
8:39
for gaming as well yeah okay now that's
8:42
a lot of good NVIDIA news but I have some very unfortunate NVIDIA news as
8:47
well this is something that's not actually on the dock and I I noticed and
8:51
I had someone assure me that it wasn't a big deal but I was pretty sure it was a
8:54
big deal I noticed at their editor's day that the PCS were running with Shield
8:59
controllers plugged into them I was like oh yeah I thought that wasn't PC
9:03
compatible at least not yet and so it has been confirmed by NVIDIA that it
9:07
wasn't and the version of GeForce experience and the latest driver that
9:12
came out with GTX 780 980 rather now
9:15
supports Shield as a controller on your PC which is or Shield controller not
9:21
Shield scary when someone says that there's bad news and then proceeds to
9:24
only give you good news oh yeah the bad news is coming so the unfortunate thing
9:29
and this is only moderately bad news is that it doesn't work wirelessly on your
9:34
computer and that makes sense cuz it's Wi-Fi direct and to my knowledge nothing
9:38
Wi-Fi Direct connects directly to your computer yet not as far as I know the
9:42
even the much worse news is uh where is
9:45
it compatibility uh okay Android devices
9:50
Etc okay it only works on their own Android devices which I kind of get
9:54
again Wi-Fi Direct whatever games
9:57
controllers can I use the shield wireless controller with a PC yes the
10:02
shield wireless controller is compatible as a wired controller with Windows 7 or
10:07
Windows 8 running GeForce
10:12
experience wow so just for just for
10:17
Giggles I tried to install GeForce experience on a computer that wasn't
10:21
running a GeForce graphics card it goes no supported hardware and boots you out
10:25
so the only way to install the driver for NVIDIA's like game controller is to
10:30
have an NVIDIA graphics card in your system this is extremely offensive to me
10:34
and I think if you install um just judging from over uh graphics card
10:39
overclocking and testing if you install GeForce experience with an NVIDIA card
10:42
plugged in and then swap it just won't run that's right so this is this is
10:47
incredibly disappointing to me I don't understand why NVIDIA wouldn't want
10:51
anyone to enjoy the experience of using
10:54
their controller I don't to I reached out to them for comment two days ago I
10:58
gave them 2 days to reply to my message about this and I was like what's going
11:04
on yeah I was going to say they might have just overlooked it they might have just bundled it into the GeForce
11:07
experience driver so we will update you guys next week on wo if we hear back
11:12
anything else or I'll try to I'll try to tweet it out when I hear back about it but for now you can't just install a
11:18
driver and to my knowledge there's nothing about the controller that would make it not work like maybe the touchpad
11:23
might not work or something if uh if you didn't have GeForce experience it should
11:27
just work as a standard controller would gForce experience affect the touchpad
11:30
well I I don't know like it might be some kind of emulated Mouse something
11:34
like but then that should be able to just be in a driver you would think that
11:38
but I can see why that might take longer to implement for example cuz the rest of
11:42
the way the controller works is exactly like a standard Xbox controller yeah I
11:46
just don't see what gForce experience does that would have anything to affect
11:49
the touchpad so it would be implenting the driver through GeForce experience or
11:52
implementing the driver through stand alone or or not because they do some
11:56
funny stuff with things like Mouse control over shield and stuff like that
12:00
like it depends how it was implemented so I don't know I'm just saying I don't
12:05
know I'm not saying that definitely it wouldn't work whatever the point is that
12:09
it should at least work as a controller that's it and the fact that
12:14
they're not allowing it to do that is just super crappy I mean think about
12:19
think imagine this for a second let's say uh someone who wants to use oh I
12:23
don't know steam in home streaming on an Ultrabook and happens to have a G4
12:29
powered gaming machine elsewhere in their house and thinks oh great I'll
12:33
just use my controller I'll plug it into my to my notebook and then I'll stream
12:36
to myself from my freaking GeForce PC
12:39
that will not work and that is a huge oversight from NVIDIA I'm extremely
12:43
upset about it I just think this is locking things away for the sake of
12:47
locking them away as opposed to for the sake of maintaining the end user's
12:52
experience which is what I do believe they do do a lot of the time
12:57
unfortunately this is is evidence that not everything that they do is
13:01
necessarily for the sake of making sure the user has a good experience because
13:06
this is not a good experience and there's no reason for it again they
13:10
could have possibly just there could possibly be a reason we will update you
13:13
if there's a reason I haven't heard back yet I more thought of it as an
13:17
oversight but we will see so there you
13:22
go okay uh we said we would pull them in at around five did we all right so let's
13:27
bring in our guests shall we we have Paul formerly of New Egg TV and
13:32
Kyle formerly of New Egg TV now of
13:36
Paul's Hardware and awesome sauce news
13:39
boy are they ever ugly hey I think they're extremely that's awesome sauce
13:44
Network for you sir so what you do more
13:47
than news now is that your thing yes exactly it's a bit more all-encompassing
13:51
than uh than the news tagline all encompassing you say what do you
13:55
Encompass by the way okay so for those of you who aren't familiar with these
13:58
Joker we've got Kyle right here and Paul right
14:02
here and they will be living between us I swear
14:08
I'll I don't know why I signed up this really and they'll be completely
14:12
replacing Luke who did you notice the shirts uh we joined
14:17
in I actually been wearing this all day I didn't even know that anything was
14:21
going on with your team trolling you this is just pure coincidence so it must
14:25
be it must be uh be and then he got here right as you guys were feeling the the
14:30
that you all had the shirts on and I was like oh I've got one too this is this is
14:33
how Paul answered the door five minutes ago and I rolled to his house he opens the door he like he looks me he's like I
14:37
have to change my clothes what's happening over
14:41
there that's very very important thank you guys for having us out yes thank you
14:45
thank you very much fantastic oh apparently you guys are pretty loud hold
14:49
on a second I'm going to turn you all down a little bit maybe I'll just turn you down all the way you guys are so
14:53
influential he just said y'all all right uh let's uh doesn't dislike you guys
14:57
that much let's let's hear from people let's see if that uh see if that sounds
15:01
okay uh you guys are also peeking a little bit so I'm not sure if that's a
15:05
microphone setting or whatever else but hopefully we're all good apparently the
15:09
stream died so I don't know what's up with that it doesn't look like it's dead
15:13
on our side so we're going to we're going to continue sort of along here
15:17
sound ugly for a second what if you push the mic a little further away yeah that
15:21
could help too yeah we dropped a few frames but it looks like we are we are
15:24
definitely back here so all right what the heck is going on over
15:30
there oh you know this a little of that
15:35
uh hash Newegg
15:38
gate so yeah I guess um if you guys
15:41
aren't familiar with like New Egg TV uh
15:45
that's what Kyle and I have been doing for for quite a few years now uh kind of
15:48
regular presenters on on the new egg tv YouTube channel um Kyle does a little
15:53
bit more behind the scenes than I do but uh kind of similar to what lonus you
15:57
used to do with uh with NC right and we
16:01
have just recently um both sort of independently and then we both kind of
16:05
found out that we were both kind of on the same page uh made made the decision
16:09
that we were GNA go our separate ways and leave New Egg um we still have a a a
16:15
setup there so we are still we're not going to be gone completely we're still
16:18
going to be participating a little bit over there Kyle was just over there
16:22
today and he did the alt tab live show uh that is also on Twitch great that was
16:28
good times yes yes it's um so you guys
16:31
are going independent do you feel a little bit like um oh I don't know
16:36
copycats copycats I was I was gonna say
16:40
uh was it Logan didn't Lan just gonna say because I've seen a lot of people
16:45
say hey everyone's they've been say we're pulling like a Jerry like like
16:49
because Jerry was the most recent person to leave his job and to some degree uh
16:55
but I I I gota I gotta go back to Logan I feel like Logan kind of set the bar
17:00
for for all of us on that one yeah exactly we're all at the end of the day
17:03
we're all copying someone it might as well be Logan right exactly but um it's
17:08
it's just kind of interesting how this this huge transition for both Paul and I
17:11
kind of started at the same time and uh I think it was kind of for the best uh
17:16
that it happened at the same time as opposed to spreading it out you know
17:19
like having one big announcement at the company and then a month later somebody
17:23
else is leaving um so we kind of just talked about it I was like Hey so Paul
17:27
I'm planning this and he's like really I'm I'm kind of planning this we're like oh wow it's kind of funny why don't we
17:31
do it together or whatever so kind of worked out that way and um you know but
17:36
but still still much love to Newegg they've they've helped me a lot that
17:39
that was literally my first job straight out of college they're the only people
17:42
who would take me um shame on them them
17:46
oh but we had a few other
17:50
uh choices um yes but
17:53
they it didn't work
17:56
out that was so ominous
17:59
looks off into the distance I wasn't sure choices but discretion isn't really
18:03
Paul specialty out but yeah at the end of the
18:06
day uh going going independent is I think a good decision for both of us um
18:11
I I know I'm really excited uh this last week I've just been you know waking up
18:15
at at 9: as opposed to 7 which is always awesome working hard and the ability
18:20
straight up the ability because before I would work 40 hours a week at new EG I
18:24
would come home around 5:30 6: p.m. have dinner take a shower by the time I'm
18:28
ready to actually start a video for my personal channel it's like 9:00 and I'm
18:32
up till 3:00 a.m. and got to wake up at 7:30 the next morning it's just it it's
18:36
a it's a a mind worldl so being able to
18:39
wake up write a script and conceptualize a video and shoot and edit that video
18:43
and post it all on the same day is amazing H it's it's probably it's a
18:49
great feeling to have which I'm sure you guys are in that sort of same workflow
18:53
um for your channel So speaking of you
18:56
know waking up and conceptualizing a video and then uh you know producing it
19:01
and all that stuff have you guys actually have you guys made much content
19:06
since you've gone independent and how is this going to affect the the type of
19:09
content that you're creating uh Kyle has I I have not yet I
19:15
so I was trying to get a to finish off a
19:18
video last night and I didn't so uh that's still I'm gonna post there be a
19:23
new video on my channel this evening I promise 95% of the way how are you guys
19:29
planning to support yourselves I mean I think that you don't have to explain to
19:32
me that um you know Google AdSense is
19:36
not necessarily the the White Knight and savior that uh that people who watch but
19:41
don't necessarily create the content might believe it is what's that is very true uh we're
19:47
nowhere near neither of us are anywhere near being able to support ourselves on
19:50
just the AdSense Revenue um I think part
19:53
of as you probably know part of the nature of kind of the content that we do
19:57
since we cover technology we cover products that are brought to Market and
20:02
sold to people and that companies make profit from uh so as a result of that we
20:06
have the possibility to um do things like pre-roll type ads those things that
20:11
you've done um I mean obviously there's there's you got to kind of especially
20:16
when it's for your own Channel versus working for a separate company you got
20:19
to kind of take a step back and think okay if I'm going to do something like
20:23
this how am I going to do it how am I going to make it as non-intrusive for
20:26
anyone who's watching my channel as possible also give give companies a chance to you know promote their
20:31
products if they want to um so I I think uh I might be doing some basic simple
20:36
you know like five five to 10 second pre-roll ads uh for in in the near
20:40
future um and then uh I might I might
20:44
actually be doing some some writing uh for for some websites that uh do do
20:49
content of of the technical nature I
20:54
guess more information I know none of this stuff is is set in stone yet so I
20:58
don't want to say like yes I'm going to be doing this until I I know for sure's
21:02
like one big strip teas wanting more at the end that's it
21:06
our seduction but you guys are also still going to be doing some stuff with
21:09
new egg correct yes yeah uh So the plan
21:12
right now is that we're each going to go in one day a week and uh help out with
21:17
whatever the regular content is and we might be doing some additional videos
21:20
here and there as well uh so the the Yol show which is kind of tech news and US
21:25
messing around uh which is kind of fun the alt tab live show
21:29
are the main ones right now and then um you know the obviously the team over
21:33
there is going through some trans transition right now at the same time so
21:37
uh we need to sort of also wait and see and say okay we've taken a step back
21:41
from from any kind of leadership role that we might have played before so what
21:45
do they want to do next and how can we play a part in that um so yeah that's
21:49
and that's the main thing I think that we wanted to communicate to people while
21:52
this is a pretty huge change for both of us personally and possibly I guess also
21:57
a decent change for the the new egg Channel as well this was not
22:01
done out of animosity towards new egg or
22:04
anything anything to that effect we we still I'm still going to be ordering
22:07
stuff there all the time because I can drive right over to will call and uh and
22:12
yeah so there's no like major problems or anything like that it was just uh
22:17
something both of us kind of kind of came to realize I think Kyle had some some other personal family reasons and
22:21
then for me I mean you if you work for somewhere for an extended period of time
22:26
as great as it might be at some point you just need to decide okay I need to I
22:30
need to stretch myself and and reach out and try to do something uh that's a
22:34
little bit more different or that allows me to uh I don't know like Kyle was
22:38
saying earlier the creativity Fly Fly Away Little Bird I was stretching myself
22:43
and putting my ARM around you and then you just abandoned me gosh is that tape
22:48
that you use to cover that that's a a giant massive waste of electrical tape
22:52
you got to let that bad boy shine actually much more expensive Gaff tape
22:57
oh God that's a sin so I hate to do this to you guys but
23:00
skype's using up about 20% of our CPU right now and our stream is lagging to
23:05
crap because we're at 100% CPU usage so I'm actually webcam I'm gonna have to
23:10
say thank you guys so much for coming on but it's kind of not it's not working
23:15
for us unfortunately right now this relationship isn't going to be a for
23:18
effort so we'll we'll we'll come on hopefully in a future episode or
23:22
something like that we're going to upgrade our CPU and we'll have you guys
23:25
on again to just kind of be regular guests I think it's great that you came
23:28
on for the announcement but I think I have to I have to let you go so thank
23:33
you guys again I'm very sorry nothing personal except that I hate you no
23:37
worries of course we love you guys's trying to to direct people to his Amazon
23:42
link instead of yours no actually wow
23:45
not watch my last video go to my channel and watch it I specifically say if you
23:50
don't already have Linus's bookmark don't and now he's like desperately
23:56
trying to plead for views he wants me to go watch his video don't watch my vide
24:00
please watch my videos I need that one more incremental count all right we'll
24:04
see you guys later see hopefully that fixes it yeah I
24:09
certainly hope it does so let's go ahead and move that screen region see what
24:13
happens to our CPU usage now computer is not stoked yeah no super unhappy okay so
24:19
look at that we are weighed down and hopefully we are actually encoding
24:24
frames instead of dropping them now welcome back to the show actually
24:29
functioning like I said guys there wasn't really anything that I could do
24:34
about it um we had about Skype was claiming 20% CPU load it looks like it
24:39
was actually closer to around 35% so we
24:42
went from 60% CPU to no CPU left at all
24:49
and we were pinned at 100% that was brutal so I'm really sorry about that
24:53
you guys we will bring Paul and Kyle back on sometime in the near future
24:57
hopefully in the next few weeks here and we will we will dive into some topics
25:01
together and have that tech chat that I know you guys want to hear and I'm
25:04
really sorry about that but we got to just move forward with the show we can't
25:07
have it running like that forever looks like we're not dropping frames anymore
25:10
so I think we're good I think we're good I think that fixed it all right so
25:14
moving on to bendgate this was originally posted on the lonus tech tips
25:18
Forum by Lars reviews and there's actually a fairly excellent thread if
25:22
you're not already a member of Linus tips.com then you should probably go
25:26
there because if we don't have enough members he'll lose his job again oh my
25:31
wow yeah yeah that's right we don't have enough members I think we have enough
25:34
members okay I have the one most important
25:39
member that's not on the Forum though no that's if it was I think I'd probably
25:43
have to remove it but I wouldn't delete that thread I would just hide it yeah
25:48
excellent excellent thread on the Forum about it but basically um there's a some
25:53
videos allegedly breaking phones in half
25:57
made by one of our one of our good friends Lou over at unbox therapy where
26:03
because break it in half well when
26:06
something is okay not at the halfway point I
26:10
guess yes so the point is there were some reports of people having iPhone 6
26:15
pluses bending from carrying them in their front pockets uh these kind of
26:21
started to circulate on the internet and Lou from unbox therapy made a video
26:25
demonstrating how easily the phone could be significantly bent and then how the
26:31
screen would crack and it would basically become useless once you bent
26:35
it back to its original flat form this
26:38
has been the most viral video I think on
26:42
any Tech YouTuber's Channel ever and um
26:46
Lou posted a posted a screenshot from his YouTube creators app of it at 10
26:51
million views I think the morning after he originally posted it this thing went
26:56
super crazy viral but I think it's like 30 million now or
27:00
something just for that one video and he's released three on the topic which
27:03
are all above a million views way more and he's been doing B tests of other
27:07
things other people are jumping on the the benest wagon I think I saw NC post
27:12
on their Facebook today a motherboard bent over I recognized the board too
27:16
it's an x58 board that was a sample that we got like ages ago when I when I used
27:23
to work there oh man uh people are
27:26
saying banded 980 get more views I really don't think that would happen I
27:29
think people would just call us idiots yeah and and that would be really hard to do yeah we'd have to put it in a vice
27:34
and stuff i' just rather not B the 980
27:38
I'd rather people someone at some point game on that 980 because that's I don't
27:43
believe in Breaking Hardware on purpose I do think particularly the original
27:48
Bend demonstration video was very important Justified just to make people
27:52
aware of the issue but along those lines
27:56
apple is claiming now that it is n actually an issue so they're saying that
28:01
out of all the you know hype surrounding Bend gate only nine users have actually
28:08
come forward to Apple about having
28:11
broken their or bent their phone through regular use and they are saying that any
28:15
of the phones that were able to be bent so easily in this manner
28:21
um just must be suffering from some kind of materials defect and it's not a
28:26
problem with the design of the phone uh there's a lot of other stuff kind of
28:29
floating around so this is just kind of a funny Apple uh threw up a job posting
28:34
for a Q&A sort of position that one of
28:39
the things listed in the job description was was bending testing was it Ashley
28:43
yeah but I but again this think it was a joke this is this is stuff that that
28:49
could have just been a regular job posting anyway I don't think it
28:52
necessarily has anything to do with bendgate I think really the proof will
28:56
be in the pudding are we going to see more people coming forward with bent
29:00
phones um one thing that I've seen Apple Fanboys kind of running around saying is
29:05
oh well it's aluminum so you know yeah
29:09
it was going to bend anyway you know what the one I made is aluminum and um I
29:15
I can't I can't bend it I can turn it
29:18
on like change the volume but I can't bend the phone which it did perfectly
29:23
fine while he was trying to bend it for that matter the 5S has an aluminum back
29:27
it's by Apple also doesn't B so um I
29:31
think I think that's pretty much it there's honestly not that much to say
29:36
it's a massively overe exhausted topic yep I don't want to even give it that
29:41
much more attention one new other thing Apple says that the new phones feature
29:45
steel and titanium inserts to reinforce stress locations and they use the
29:49
strongest glass in the industry so okay
29:53
they didn't use Sapphire which we all thought they were going to use yeah that
29:57
was interesting that could have been interesting because I wonder if that would have helped
30:01
resist bending I kind of I mean Marcus's
30:04
video where he has the sapphire crystal glass um oh that's a good point he he
30:08
kind of in his first video in particular I think he unfortunately hadn't seen
30:14
Corning Gorilla Glass 3 off of a phone before so he was kind of marveling at
30:18
how clear it was and how it flexed and all that but Gorilla Glass 3 behaves in
30:21
pretty much exactly the same man so aside from the scratch resistance I
30:25
don't think yeah which wouldn't have actually helped rigidity in any way so
30:29
yeah never mind moot point so okay I
30:33
hadn't heard anything about this what's going on with the cooler the EVGA ACX
30:38
970 cooler ah yes originally posted on the Forum by devil Z thank you Sean um X
30:46
EVGA this is this is this is Sean's headline here EVGA could lose out on
30:50
quite a bit of money due to trying to cut costs on their GTX 970 980 cards and
30:56
the the original article is from E Technics and it's that EVGA may have
31:01
used a cooler from a bigger card to save on manufacturing cost so there's a
31:07
picture of a cooler taken off an EVGA uh
31:10
900 series card here and I'm going to go ahead I'm going to load that page
31:15
eventually if I can but in the meantime why don't we just switch to the No guest
31:19
view so you guys don't have to wait for it but basically what happened was the
31:23
bottom sorry it started working which did there oh no no no it didn't
31:28
what this page is still not loading yeah I just switched back to a page that
31:31
works like lusch tips.com oops hey
31:35
that's right get wrecked um so basically I'll just have to help you guys
31:38
visualize this there's three heat pipes there we go you need help with your
31:42
demonstration should I be the heat pipes uh yeah you can be the heat pipes okay
31:46
so there's three heat pipes and then the you can tell from the thermal paste
31:50
pattern that the GPU core itself is actually only contacting two of them and
31:56
one of them is not making contact with the GPU core now this has led to some
32:01
speculation that evga's direct touch
32:04
cooler will not work very well and could perform significantly worse than if all
32:08
three heat pipes were making contact there is some truth to this direct heat
32:13
pipe touch technology does make a difference and having them all touching
32:17
the core would probably help but I think people are overestimating how much of a
32:23
difference that's going to make remember the problem with a copper base plate on
32:29
anything let's say a heat sink or yeah let's say a heat sink because that would
32:33
be fairly related yeah so the problem with having a copper base on a heat on a
32:38
heat sink the reason that we use heat pipes and Vapor Chambers instead of just
32:42
using a flat slab of copper is that copper can't conduct heat away quickly
32:48
enough in order to provide the best possible cooling once you build a heat
32:51
sink that's large enough over short distances this is not an issue so with
32:58
the dye right next to it right there and those heat pipes being the hottest part
33:03
of that cooler and that next Heat pipe being right next to those other heat
33:07
pipes that are the hottest part of the cooler it's going to be working it's
33:11
going to be doing something might not be as effective but we're talking I'd be
33:15
surprised if the difference is more than a degree or two and in the grand scheme
33:20
of things that's not going to be a huge deal these car are already running
33:24
pretty cool they are already running pretty cool that said you know is two de
33:29
the difference between one boost State versus another boost State on cards that
33:33
overclock themselves maybe um but I'd also suspect
33:38
that having another person sitting in the room watching you game would make as
33:42
much of a difference because just the heat from their body and we're already
33:45
getting like low temps of around 70 on average as far as I've been able to tell
33:49
with our cards yeah with non- reference cards
33:52
yeah so there you go that's pretty much
33:56
I guess all I really have to say about that I don't think it's as big of a deal
33:59
as other people are EVGA did respond they said that though and I hadn't
34:03
actually seen their response yet this has been added to the doc since last time I looked at it the way the gtx970
34:09
ACX heat sink was designed is based on the gtx970 wattage plus an additional
34:15
40% cooling head room on top of it so they're saying about a total of 200
34:20
Watts uh also we would like to mention that the cooler passed NVIDIA's green
34:24
light specifications due to the small
34:27
contact area of that GPU because it has a small die size we intended for the GPU
34:33
to contact two major heat pipes with direct touch to make to get the best
34:38
heat dissipation out of it without any other material in between them um blah
34:42
blah blah etc etc etc regarding fan noise this is not a fan noise issue is
34:47
more oh okay regarding fan noise we understood that some had expressed concerns over the fan noise of evg
34:51
gtx970 cards this is not a fan noise issue but more of an aggressive fan
34:55
curve set by the default BIOS regardless we have heard your concerns we are going
34:59
to provide a BIOS update that keeps the cards quieter and ramps up less
35:04
aggressively with that said you can control GPU fan speeds and software so
35:08
if you don't want to wait for the BIOS update then I would say fairly simple to
35:11
do go for it especially with their I
35:14
can't remember name right now youing have you forgotten you're dead to me
35:18
what's the name of their software again Precision Precision Precision X has
35:22
pretty good fan fan curve stuff in it so if you want to change it use their own
35:25
software not too hard The Verge wrote a pretty hilarious I
35:30
guess I made it about two-thirds of the way through and then I got kind of bored but it was pretty funny while I be that
35:35
hilarious no it was pretty funny they wrote a pretty hilarious piece on the
35:39
fact that the next or well the okay apparently uh the fact that the next
35:44
Nexus tablet will be made by HTC and the
35:48
verg article was full of you know lovers quarrels and all this kind of stuff the
35:52
the main characters are of course Google HTC Tam Tung like a triangle no yeah
35:58
just just kind of the the industry the Android ecosystem all all the different
36:02
players it was pretty funny but basically that's it this was posted by
36:05
eth nood on the Forum and the original Source here is rutters.com and
36:10
apparently Google has selected HTC For an upcoming 9in Nexus tablet so it looks
36:17
like they're splitting they're using HTC for their tablet and I believe they're using uh Moto Motorola still for their
36:22
phone is that confirmed or are we speculating based on that looks like the
36:26
Moto xul right but it it it has like the circular
36:31
Flash and it has all the stuff which is very similar to the it does look very
36:35
similar again it's still speculation but it's it's I don't know it'll be
36:39
interesting using two different manufacturers so Google has been mulling
36:43
HTC is a potential partner for since last year HTC hasn't made a tablet since
36:49
2011 um so this was announced at Google IO in June it's expected Q3 2014 and it
36:56
will apparently be power by the Tegra K1 which is
37:00
extremely good news because something
37:03
that I noticed I don't know if other people noticed but a NCH had a great
37:07
article on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus's performance and of all the
37:13
Android devices that were in the performance charts the one that really
37:19
hung with the iPhone 6 and the 6 Plus was the NVIDIA Shield tablet which is
37:24
based on the Tegra K1 with and that's
37:27
that's in terms of CPU in terms of GPU the K1 blew away everything yeah just
37:32
absolutely demolished everything else NVIDIA so I'm I'm excited about that the
37:37
problem with the K1 the big like I I
37:40
wonder if NVIDIA had hoped that K1 would be suitable for phone use but the
37:45
problem with the K1 is that The Thermals are just not really suitable for that
37:50
and they're more optimal for tablet use
37:53
at this time so at least we can have fast Android tablets as fast as the
37:56
fastest Apple device um just not smartphones yet I'm also not
38:01
surprised that the K1 is heavily focused on
38:04
GPU I am why NVIDIA yeah I mean they're
38:08
all a boat stop trolling you were so genuine with that I am I was like did I
38:14
miss something what did I do holy crap I
38:17
said something stupid no no you didn't say anything stupid you just wore
38:20
something stupid so that's why you're dead to me no dead to me speaking of
38:26
dead to me uh Watch Dogs is turning into a franchise they are not dead at
38:32
all oh that's a terrible segue I know I
38:35
could have said a lot of different things about I could I could have tied
38:38
dead to me into Watch Dogs and Ubisoft in a lot of different ways that's yeah
38:42
that's yeah let's say took the hard way rather than saying that you know I
38:47
missed an opportunity why don't we say I had restraint there there we go you know
38:50
what I'm down with that all right because usually we do the digging thing
38:54
at any rate uh this was originally posted by
38:57
D dlf on the Forum I couldn't tell if it was diff diff or dlf and the original
39:03
articles from computer and video games and Ubisoft Montreal's well we're just
39:08
staring at the dock right now Vice President of creative of creative yes
39:12
that's a thing is it maybe not uh anyway
39:16
uh has said that although the game has its flaws he feels it succeeds in
39:20
establishing a brand and promise for the
39:23
future that's an awkward way to do that
39:28
flaw I'll I'll let you talk now I'm I'm taking off the dead to me thing a yay so
39:33
so it's flawed but you know we believe in it it'll be okay hopefully we won't
39:38
completely screw it up next time and then you guys will hopefully like it or
39:41
we'll just say this and you'll buy it and then we'll just keep moving on anyways cuz we're ubis Stu they did make
39:45
a good point they brought up that Assassin's Creed 1 had a lot of
39:49
complaints about it and was hardly a perfect game that's cuz they gave it like no budget and cut it off early so
39:55
they didn't have time to develop missions for the rest of the game so they just reused missions from previous
39:58
parts of the game but the point was that Assassin's Creed 2 sold just fine in
40:03
spite of the complaints about Assassin's Creed 1
40:07
sold it was a great game I loved Assassin's Creed 2 it was really good
40:11
but yeah and there was the very valid complaints about Assassin's Creed 1
40:16
which I also liked because you you did like the first three missions and you
40:19
just basically repeated that for the entire rest of the game um so I don't
40:23
know if they do the same thing that would be fantastic cuz that means the
40:26
next Watch Dogs will be really good Assassin's Creed 2 was great but I don't
40:30
know because it did look like Watch Dogs got a much larger budget than Assassin's
40:34
Creed 1 oh yeah it did and that was the main problem with Assassin's Creed 1 it
40:37
was it was the fact that they ran out of budget but I mean the way that the
40:41
statement was phrased I think is I think is is pretty good where basically he
40:46
says okay there are flaw flaws which is good you know we want to tackle those
40:50
flaws and surprise players uh we need to be careful not to change the things
40:55
people liked and address things that
40:58
they didn't like and hopefully you know
41:01
particularly from a PC Gamers perspective that's going to happen right
41:05
starting at the beginning of the development process when the PC gets
41:08
treated like a priority as opposed to not even an afterthought you can't even
41:11
call it an afterthought that's what's terrible about it is it was with
41:15
forethought and Malice allegedly that
41:18
they nerfed it um so hopefully we won't see that happen again and Watch Dogs 2
41:22
will be the only thing that scares me about this is that we've had Ubisoft
41:27
tote rah rah we're g to make it better in front of us before and then just
41:31
completely ignore it when the time for Action came to be I know so so this is
41:36
great I hope it happens but I'm not I wouldn't throw any beds things can
41:41
change though I mean I think I brought this up on W show before so I won't talk
41:45
about it for too long but talking to the direct X lead at Microsoft when he
41:50
showed up at the uh at the NVIDIA event he was like yeah we have a different
41:54
culture now you know like I'm encouraged to be out here talking to journalists
41:58
and and engaging with the community about the direction of direct 3D when
42:02
before it was it was very close n much
42:05
more cloistered yeah and so I I don't
42:09
know I I basically CU I I kind of grilled him a little bit actually some
42:12
things that I knew he wouldn't know but I just wanted to kind of someone who
42:17
might have some influence there let's just beat him up while he's down and I
42:20
kind of went man why didn't Halo 1 get
42:24
multiplayer Co-op and he was like legitimately don't know that and I'm
42:28
like man why do they keep recommitting to us and then doing this master chief
42:33
Edition not coming to PC what the hell is that so I basically just went man
42:37
does Microsoft even care and all he could really say was Microsoft is
42:42
changing and he he he spoke very earnestly about it he seems like a great
42:47
guy Mr nadell has been making a crazy amount of changes he's not a PR guy he's
42:51
a technical guy he's a programmer always cool so I don't expect him to give me a
42:56
PR response but he seemed genuinely convinced that Microsoft is on a great
43:00
track and cares about Gamers and the other thing he said is that his team has
43:05
always cared and has watching the very
43:09
few amount of DX like announcements and demos that you're able to watch where
43:13
those guys are up on stage allowed to talk they do seem like they care a lot
43:17
yeah and he was telling me like there's guys on his team amount of those you know $4,000 $5,000 gaming rigs at home
43:23
like these are PC gaming enthusiasts at
43:27
least some of them and he kind of went you know yeah we're we're optimistic you
43:32
know we we believe in the future so so who knows maybe Ubisoft who hasn't
43:37
gotten a new CEO or really changed at
43:45
all hopefully they do those things so
43:48
speaking of changes oh D
43:52
cair changed The Branding on their
43:55
gaming peripheral and we might have all collectively
43:59
freaked out a little bit too much probably but let's just let's just go
44:02
through the Saga here so uh here's this
44:05
video they made with like some soldiers this is I think just the outro for it
44:09
like have you watched the video no actually it's pretty over the top the production values are like pretty good
44:14
like I have no idea how much that cost um just looking at that animation yeah
44:20
so they released a new a new brand for their gaming products oh I'm not logged
44:25
in so that's not working winner everything is broken everything is
44:29
broken something something something something something everything is broken
44:35
all right so they um they redid their
44:38
Vengeance branding the old sort of yellow Vengeance logo that we would find
44:42
on older Corsair gaming products I used to have a keyboard in here but I took it
44:46
out of here for a b-roll or something so I don't have it at the moment um and
44:49
then they redid it so instead of having the Corsair sales and then Vengeance as
44:53
kind of a separate sub brand they created this um kind of two cross blade
44:58
thing that ends up looking kind of like a tribal tattoo that would belong on the
45:02
small of your back or like a cling on bat lith uh with a little heart in the
45:07
middle of it like it there isn't there aren't really many great ways to to look
45:12
at it I saw a crazy crab holding swords with a heart on his head yeah yeah
45:16
that's that's another that's another way I've had people suggest that it's kind
45:19
of like a crabber rang yeah so it's a batter ring but but it's a crab that's
45:25
funny there should be there should be crabman
45:30
um that would actually make a great one extremely strong ARM and one really not
45:36
strong one that would make a tremendous like Cartoon Network show it's like
45:39
crabman and he's just always like an ass to
45:43
everyone I'll save you but I won't like it yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah anyway so
45:48
they they took away the sales they they took away Corsair Vengeance sub Brandon
45:52
now it's all unified under Corsair gaming they made a big habab this which
45:57
I actually wonder if ended up working against them they had press releases PR
46:02
statements they redid all their packaging they took new products like
46:06
the uh RGB series keyboards and packaged them with this new cor Corsair gaming
46:10
brand they took existing products like their 1500 headset and 1300 headset we
46:15
actually have a bunch of them in the hallway and they repackaged them under the new branding redid the industrial
46:19
design on the products like this was not a cheap Initiative for Corsair to
46:25
undergo this rebranding process and then the community freaked
46:31
out there was a change.org petition which I really feel like was a little
46:35
over the top I mean change.org most change.org petitions are a little bit
46:39
over the top okay fair enough um PC Master race the the subreddit was
46:44
explosive uh the threads online as Tech tips are many many many posts long
46:50
discussing this and I think
46:54
that basically all there really is to say about it is I don't really like the
46:58
logo either me neither I released a video about it last night I don't think it's great um but something that I
47:03
actually didn't realize until I was talking to someone at Corsair about the
47:06
video we made last night where it's kind of a troll video we show how to mod your
47:10
keyboard and take the logo off and put something else on I was talking to
47:13
someone from Corsair and I kind of went yeah realistically I think everyone's
47:16
going to forget because it only it takes
47:19
this conversation we're having now for me to remember how much I hated the
47:23
Vengeance logo when I first saw it and I still hate it I think it's horrible
47:27
I think that font I think the bright yellow was never good and that's
47:30
something people are forting as well they're upset about the yellow in the
47:33
gaming logo vengance was already yellow branding yeah that said they didn't put
47:38
Vengeance on the product it was mostly on the box yeah
47:43
that's true which helps a lot but I'm just saying I think that people will kind of forget about it eventually and
47:48
who knows maybe I mean Vengeance was only with us if few few years who knows
47:51
maybe they'll Rebrand it again at some point but I think that this was very
47:56
much an over reaction um I think corsera responded to it in the best way that
48:00
they possibly could with yellow Beard's post Yellow Beard's post so k70 RGB
48:06
keyboards with red switches Cherry MX red switches that already had the
48:10
original logo will continue to exist for some time so people who really want the
48:15
original logo on their keyboard can get it and then the other ones will have the
48:19
course their gaming logo so if you want blue or brown switches a K65 or a k95
48:24
the 10 keyless and the one with macro keys then you'll be you'll have to have
48:27
the new logo and honestly if you do really hate it the guide line has posted
48:32
is actually not even that bad just get a flat head screwdriver and take it off
48:35
like you can get rid of that glue residue pretty easily you can put like a cool Deco there or something yeah put a
48:40
cool Deco fill it up with Plasti Dip do something like it's it's not that hard
48:43
to fix yeah so I I'm actually I'm amazed
48:46
they got over 7,000 signatures on the keep the old logo
48:51
petition oh man yeah so what do we want
48:55
to do like interesting topic or like
48:58
let's go with interesting topic all right so we just got 14 nanometer so
49:04
Intel is is just now releasing products what is it core core M or whatever it is
49:10
yeah the the the mobile one yeah broad y yeah yeah so these like super super low
49:15
power we're talking Core i5 dual core
49:19
class processors with beefy dedicated graphics in like fanless tablets like
49:25
pretty cool stuff we just got those and now in the news Intel is planning to
49:30
spend another 6 billion this time on a
49:34
10 nanometer Fab every single time they
49:37
go down in manufacturing process everyone's like oh this is it they can't
49:41
go any further there's no way technology can advance we've hit the end boys this
49:45
is this is as far as we can go and then couple months later dead yeah yeah
49:49
couple months later new manufacturing plant billions of dollars have been
49:52
spent and they're going to make smaller ones it's like Okay cool so this was
49:56
posted by Jer on the jerich on the Forum
49:59
um you know it's funny along the lines of what you were just saying I remember
50:03
my my um my SSD fome campus tour y when
50:07
I got to visit Intel that one time and
50:10
um I remember walking into a room where they basically said don't take any
50:14
pictures or film anything in here and I kind of went why and it turned out that
50:19
the Whiteboard and like the drawings on it
50:22
were and I think it's late enough now yeah 3D 3D n is here 3D transistors are
50:28
here but that was like the plan for for 3D and know I was like really that's
50:35
cool it's like internal like drawings on a whiteboard I was like that is so cool
50:39
I'm geeking out right now I don't understand any of it but it's still
50:43
awesome but it's still freaking cool and I remember asking them questions in my
50:48
interviews you know we keep hearing about the end of Mor's law we keep
50:52
hearing about how flash isn't going to continue to get higher density or
50:55
whatever else and and I think if you look at sort of a a shortterm past sort
51:02
of if you take a short-term past chunk it might look that way I mean the
51:07
iPhone 6 if you look at devices if you
51:10
look at still comes in 16 gig if you look at Solid State Storage on its own
51:15
though it is getting massively larger it is um but looking at phones and devices
51:21
and stuff like that no but to to to go back to the kind of growth we were
51:25
seeing before I think we're have to wait a little bit because that's about to
51:28
happen again you we look at what they're capable of doing with ddr4 for example
51:33
with some of the new uh the new die stacking Technologies you look at what
51:37
Samsung is doing with their new 3D nand where they're taking instead of having
51:42
you know 20 nmet class nand that's spread out horizontally they're stacking
51:48
40 nanometer class n to get the same capacities and better reliability and
51:53
better speeds with about the same raw material so they take that technology
51:58
they shrink that down who capacities are not done yet every time that we feel
52:03
like we hit some sort of wall someone goes oh hey if we climb it in this
52:07
really weird way we can keep going that happens like every single time it'll
52:11
make no sense then someone will come up with an alternative it will make tons of
52:14
sense and we will keep on going and it's Intel almost every time it's funny cuz I
52:18
got called out on our fastest possible about process Technologies manufacturing
52:23
processes for like um favoring Intel or
52:27
like fanboying over Intel because I brought up uh basically I alluded to
52:31
their Tik Tok um their Tik Tok development process and I also I don't
52:37
know what's going on with my computer and I also brought up the core M as my
52:41
example of 14 nmet processor but I went
52:44
back and looked into it Intel has been first to every process node over like
52:50
the last 20 years and they hit a new one like every two
52:54
years yeah that's not a real point debate yeah it's it's just a thing
52:59
different like processors that different price skes and all that kind different
53:02
architectures different architectures optimize for gaming optimized for tablet
53:06
yeah you can definitely debate all that kind of stuff but manufacturing they
53:10
developed this thing at this date and then that's what happened there's I
53:13
don't know there's facts posted by red
53:17
round 2 on The Forum the original article from Anon we actually um alluded
53:22
to this just just a moment ago but the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus are Benchmark
53:29
monsters so there you go there's the iPhone 6 iPhone 6 plus the 5S Shield
53:37
tablet Windows Phone are we going to find an Android device that doesn't have
53:41
a tiger K1 in it here we go oh oh boy so
53:45
they are they are wrecking machines and they don't do that well in every single
53:49
Benchmark but they are at or near the top of the charts pretty much across the
53:54
board so yay the newest phone does the best things yeah I was going to say as
54:00
exciting as this might be and as great as it is that we're getting faster and
54:04
faster mobile devices I think that the
54:07
people who are disappointed in the iPhone 6 are the same people who were
54:12
disappointed in the Galaxy 5S but just
54:16
that happened to carry something with an Apple logo in their pocket versus
54:19
something with a Samsung logo in their pocket I think we're all getting
54:23
disenchanted with smartphones all at the same time
54:27
I am like hardcore that's that's a thing I
54:31
I think we've talked about how phones are going through the same thing PC's
54:35
did um but they're going through the same thing PCS did over like an
54:39
extremely long period of time and they're like surpassing where PCS are at
54:43
but then not getting that thing where PCS kind of dwindled for a little while
54:47
and now we're awesome again I don't think they're really getting that and I
54:50
don't know if they are going to no no the future for phones is definitely
54:54
going to be in interface design and not in Hardware at least over over the next
54:58
little while software usability HCI which is called uh human computer
55:02
interaction so just like how you use your phone uh like natural paper thing
55:07
that Android's trying to do all that kind of stuff is going to be a really big deal y wearable devices I'm really
55:12
disappointed in the Moto 360 now that the reviews are out um I I actually
55:17
walked into a Best Buy the morning of the launch kind of not really thinking
55:21
about it I'd been napping in the car that was driving me from the airport to
55:25
the NVIDIA event and I walked in I was like holy crap it's a Moto
55:28
360 interesting do you have any and the guy at the till said yes so I I just
55:33
about bought one right there just so I could review it if nothing else and now
55:37
I'm kind of glad I didn't because the thing that I was expecting it to
55:42
disappoint me with is exactly what it's disappointing everybody with battery
55:46
life yeah but it didn't need to it just
55:50
did what was the size of the processor 40 nanom yeah it was like ancient chip
55:55
what are you doing um I mean the the the issue though and
56:00
there there could be a hundred reasons why they would have gone with that
56:03
processor there's also 100 reasons not to there's 100 reasons not to but
56:07
there's there there's 100 reasons why they might have had to yeah but the the
56:11
cold hard truth is until we get
56:15
dramatically better batteries the only smart watches that will matter to me
56:20
will be the ones with e in or Mirasol displays I don't want to charge my
56:24
SmartWatch every single day yep I charge this every four days or so that's
56:29
probably fine I would like seven I would like it to be a week some people get a
56:33
week out of the pebble I don't because I'm a heavy user um but the main thing
56:37
for me is when you're at that awkward dinner and you just want to know how
56:41
much longer you have to sit there across from that weird family member who you
56:46
only have to see once a quarter or so and you want to glance at your wrist
56:49
just freaking know what time it is that's important to me it's not a Time
56:54
piece unless it does time well well
56:57
first it's true it's very true um Luke
57:00
pointed out to me a smartwatch that's coming that has a transparent display
57:04
over an analog watch face and this is something if you go back a whole bunch of wos like quite a few I was like they
57:10
need to make an OLED panel that goes on top of a normal freaking watch and can
57:14
just turn on and give you notifications every once in a while so it can completely go off and you can just see
57:18
the normal watch face under it because that's what a lot of people are going to watch are going to want because that is
57:23
going to look super super classy and a lot of people want their high-end
57:27
looking very nice mechanical watches and
57:30
apparently it has happened speaking of wanting watches to look super super
57:35
classy um kind of kind of funny story uh
57:38
there are a lot of people who seem upset that Apple's I watch or whatever they
57:42
end up calling it Apple watch I guess so that Apple's watch is going to be
57:48
expensive it's like yeah how did you not see that
57:54
coming how did you not see that coming watch
57:57
that literally have no justification for
58:00
being expensive are expensive watches are a fashion
58:04
statement fashion statements are expensive yep watch Apple turned the
58:09
phone into a fashion statement in a big way I mean they weren't they weren't the
58:14
pioneer of it I mean Motorola did a great job with the razor but Apple
58:17
turned the smartphone into the ultimate
58:21
phone fashion statement but watches they don't even have to do any work people
58:25
will all already spend a thousand like normal people who work normal jobs will
58:31
spend a th000 2,000 $3,000 on a watch
58:34
that happens I know that technophiles
58:37
who expect every thing that they own to be broken down in terms of the bomb cost
58:43
like the cost of the raw materials that went into it I know that we don't
58:46
necessarily accept that and if you look at me it's not like I'm I'm someone who
58:51
wears a, watch I expect things to be
58:54
practical I expect them to have an ual value and an actual cost associated with
58:58
making them but a lot of the world doesn't work that way no and apple would
59:02
be foolish not to leverage that and that's why I've been saying we need
59:06
those mechanical OLED panel watches because those are going to be crazy
59:09
expensive and that's what a lot of people are going to want to buy I don't
59:12
want one way too expensive but that's what a lot of people are going to want
59:16
I'd like to do a review of one even if we can just get a loner one for a little
59:19
while but yeah speaking of a review uh I
59:22
had a few people questioning my Instagram post earlier today where I
59:28
showed off my new $300 usb3
59:33
cable I bought that thing what well I guess it'll be a
59:39
review it'll be a review um but there's
59:42
a justification for it it's the coolest usb3 cable that has ever existed the
59:48
highest Tech usb3 cable that has ever existed and it is a fiber optic usb3
59:54
cable oh yeah that one in fact it doesn't even adhere to the USB 3.0
59:59
standard n there is no standard for a fiber optic USB 3 cable so the packaging
60:05
is hilarious it says USB 3point
60:10
Optical so it's a 30 m so it's literally
60:14
3.0 get it get it get it so this is a
60:19
100 foot usb3 cable and I actually have
60:22
a plan for something really cool that I'm going to do with it I'll that I'll
60:26
show off to you guys and that I think will make some sense at least to people
60:31
who appreciate minimalistic design so so
60:35
stay tuned for that there is a reason for it I haven't just completely lost my
60:39
Noggin all right uh AMD India do you
60:43
want to do you want to go through this one while I figure out what's going on with my internet connection here sure uh
60:47
so that big announcement that everyone was talking about that was going to happen on September 25th that was like
60:52
super exciting from AMD and like oh my God it's probably going to be a 390 or
60:56
390x nope nope nope they're bringing
61:00
some graphics cards to India um so I
61:03
don't actually know what ones it looks like mainly workstation cards so they're
61:06
bringing a AMD firepro
61:10
w8100 and AMD firepro W 99,100 and gcn
61:15
powered Radeon R9 285 so they are bringing a 285 and then two workstation
61:19
cards so yeah that was that super
61:22
exciting announcement that was going to happen on September the 9100 does have
61:26
16 gigs of RAM that's pretty fraking cool speaking of RAM capacities
61:29
continuing to grow yeah but it's weird when they're blasting a big announcement
61:33
to North Americans and Europeans about like if they if they blasted this in
61:37
India that makes tons of sense yeah because that is a big announcement in
61:41
India I think it was it seems a little unintentional to me it looks a little
61:44
bit like a miscommunication at AMD where someone posted big announcement maybe
61:49
even in India and then it got pushed everywhere yeah some in some the the the
61:52
Press got a hold of the Indian announcement I think some individuals at
61:56
didn't really know what to do or what to say about it felt like they had to say something and uh ended up um they could
62:03
have specifically said it's a big announcement for India because it's
62:07
pretty cool for India right but it's it's it's a very tied
62:12
down announcement which makes sense but it's still a very tied down announcement
62:15
so they could have clarified right I don't think that would have been a
62:19
problem everyone started freaking out and then they could have been like you don't want to downplay it either and
62:23
like make it seem like yeah announcements lame so but it's not lame
62:28
no it is it's just location tied I mean okay okay what they say about the 16 gig
62:32
GPU is that it allows users and I mean this is pretty cool to multitask
62:35
efficiently across six 4K displays that's pretty sick is that not cool that
62:40
is pretty sick six DisplayPort 1.2 I mean the number of
62:44
megapixels the sheer data rate is involved with this it's very cool yeah
62:48
it's just Gamers and sort of the internet in general aren't really going
62:52
to care about it yeah so I think they should have they should have checked
62:55
their checked their announcement a little bit
62:58
it was a little bit overthrown all right DisplayPort will
63:03
work through USB type c that is
63:06
incredibly good news I'm actually pretty excited about that USB type c is looking
63:12
like it's going to be badass I'm just really hoping that connector is solid I
63:17
know it's the only thing I'm worried about I was talking to uh to Ryan Smith
63:21
from an onch we were in the uh the shuttle on the way back to the airport
63:24
together and uh I we were talking about usb type c and and cuz they had an
63:29
article about it they were hands on with it and I was like did you did you see it
63:32
did you touch it he's like no no but I want to what oh so he specifically was
63:37
okay I got it yeah yeah no someone else and one of their other writers so I was
63:43
we were we were just kind of speculating and talking about it a little bit we both agreed that the lightning connector
63:47
is probably about as elegant as it gets for a double-sided connector in terms of
63:52
durability but we both maintain hope
63:55
that USB 3 type-c will be freaking awesome hopefully so just as a recap for
64:00
you guys if you haven't already watched our fastest possible on USB type-c which
64:04
is now outdated because it includes DisplayPort
64:08
connectivity it is validated at up to super speed USB 3.1 so that's 10 gbit
64:13
per second bringing it back within sort of one Leap of
64:18
Thunderbolt it can deliver up to 100 watts of power over a single cable so
64:22
we're talking being able to co charge your laptop over us you can charge your
64:27
laptop run a display off your laptop at the same time it go either direction
64:31
pretty awesome y Bal it can it has alternate modes that support uh the use
64:36
of existing uh HDMI DVI and VGA adapters
64:40
now that DisplayPort can be transmitted over it uh the DisplayPort over USBC
64:44
carries up to 8.1 GB per second per
64:48
Lane this looks so awesome so when using all four lanes of the DisplayPort alt
64:53
mode you could drive a monitor at up to 5K resolution or up to and up to 4K uh
64:59
excuse me so with existing DisplayPort one blah blah blah Etc support up to 4K
65:04
desktop resolutions with 60 frame rates set up to 30 bit color yeah so 4K USB 3
65:10
type-c is a thing freaking awesome that's pretty
65:13
sweet pretty stoked um we are almost out of time and
65:20
we need to do the giveaway and we need to do sponsor spots and we need to do
65:25
build block and we probably need to do some other articles okay well let's do
65:28
our sponsors first huge thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring the W show uh
65:34
yeah they're taking a little while because they're looking for network resources and then grabbing the local
65:38
one that's why the scene switching is taking a while that makes way more sense
65:42
but if you had a Squarespace website it wouldn't need to take a long time to
65:45
load because Squarespace ensures that your website will be functional it will
65:50
be beautiful it will be affordable and it will be scalable we use Squarespace
65:54
for Linus Medi group.com and I don't think we've ever maintained
65:59
it ever no it's actually kind of a
66:02
problem yeah we need to go back and like update some of the it still looks
66:06
beautiful and is still entirely functional but it doesn't have all of our employees there's no head shot it
66:11
doesn't include all of our shows I don't think there's a lot of missing
66:15
information because I never even think about it it just works all the like
66:19
screenshots from our like most bestest videos ever are like the ones we made in
66:24
the first couple months of being a company I know so guys that's what Squarespace
66:28
does it means that you can focus on maintaining your business in other ways
66:33
that don't involve micromanaging your freaking website whether it's a Blog
66:38
whether you have an online business where you sell something that some craft
66:42
that you make or a service whether it's a portfolio promoting uh you know if
66:47
you're a wedding photographer or whatever else Squarespace sites work on
66:51
desktop they work on mobile and they make sure that you put your best foot
66:54
forward they've also got other great tools like their 247 tech support as
66:59
well as their logo creator so instead of you know hiring a graphic design firm
67:03
just to try to get started you can at least create something that looks good
67:07
that you can use temporarily and get on your site and get up and running without
67:11
hassle also if you visit squarespace.com Linus and use offer code Linus you can
67:16
save 10% and uh of course everyone who uses
67:20
Squarespace gets a free trial a free
67:23
twoe trial I actually don't remember
67:27
what uh what Nick said about whether we are giving away a squar space I don't
67:32
have internet okay Nick uh no it's okay
67:35
well if we don't then we'll do two next time we have a Squarespace sponsorship
67:39
but every month we give a Squarespace site away to someone who has signed up
67:44
for a trial so they win their site for a year so that's squarespace's little way
67:49
of uh being cool dudes this is pretty awesome actually thanks to Squarespace
67:53
they've actually been I think our second long sponsor um after audible yeah
67:59
they've been great supporters of if you don't include how long we left Razer at
68:02
the bottom of the stream for yeah no no I don't mean long in terms of time
68:07
period I mean going back the furthest they were one of they were one of our
68:10
first non-tech sponsors yeah yeah um also linda.com a relatively new sponsor
68:15
but actually a fantastic one as well you can get a free trial by going to
68:19
linda.com wow right now and you've used linda.com so yes I have used linda.com
68:24
for quite a while to learn just random stuff uh more specifically targeted
68:29
things if I'm like I need to know this thing about programming so I can do
68:32
something with it I usually go to linda.com for that my mom has used it
68:36
for various things Taran one of our editors has used it to learn how to edit
68:39
which is probably a good thing if he has to edit I wonder if he's using it right
68:43
now while he's not working I don't know I would think so I
68:48
mean his wrist is hurt that doesn't mean your eyes are broken so you can you can
68:51
still learn things on Linda cuz not everything on linda.com is just programming stuff that they have tips
68:56
for digital photography um so so there's
68:59
and they're all taught by experts so there's tons of different things that you can learn on linda.com uh it's plan
69:04
start at 25 bucks a month I don't think there's that much more to say about it
69:08
other than that there's no real commitment guys you can try it for seven
69:12
days for free if you like it if you feel like you're learning something useful
69:16
then keep on going and if you don't like it then you don't have to but we've seen
69:20
here at Linus Media Group alone that for at least two people linda.com has
69:24
provided some foundation for some skills that have turned into real employment
69:29
opportunities which is I think one of the strongest things that we can say
69:33
about any sponsor that we have one thing that I always say about it is if you're
69:37
planning on going to post secondary for programming start working on linda.com
69:41
right now and teach yourself before you go because your grades will be much
69:44
higher you'll find it a lot easier I find a lot of people the first semester
69:47
that they go to university for is kind of a mess because they're getting used
69:50
to no longer possibly being at home uh how School Works in different ways now
69:55
and possibly certain electives that are pretty difficult or weird that you haven't done before so if you can make
69:59
your your core courses easier which will be your programming courses if you're
70:03
getting into programming that's that's invaluable so all right so thanks
70:07
linda.com and Squarespace for sponsoring the W show we appreciate your
70:11
sponsorship I think our viewers appreciate your service and let's move
70:15
on to our next topic then shall we blizzard cancels its nextg MMO Titan
70:19
after 7 years of development can you imagine having enough money as a company
70:24
that you can work on something for seven years and then just go ah it's not
70:27
turning out the way we liked it well valve trashed TF2 TF2 was like almost
70:32
done and then they're like h no and toss the whole thing away and then now they
70:36
have what we have now which everyone kind of seems to love so they probably
70:40
did the right thing and hopefully that's the same story with blizzard hopefully
70:44
they just decided maybe this isn't the right direction after all and kind of
70:48
pitched it or maybe they're just refocusing on wow that wouldn't even be
70:52
too surprising uh world Warcraft is getting a massive graphic upgrade uh
70:56
update with Warlords of dra or and a whole bunch of other stuff is happening
71:00
so could be just I try it again I haven't played since
71:04
vanilla uh you could we're probably
71:07
we're probably going to have to actually yeah seeing as how you did that maybe
71:11
not um we're probably going to have to Benchmark it when it comes out right
71:15
because it'll be the biggest change in performance that that game has ever had
71:18
since release that big it's they've done
71:22
significant updates before but I don't think they've had one nearly this
71:25
interesting it's a pretty big graphical upgrade they have definitely had graphical updates and one thing that
71:29
they've done is they've just included more stuff right so there's more things
71:33
to load in general especially with the new zones that came in with especially
71:36
if you have longer longer draw distances long draw distances uh so they they've
71:40
done a lot with it but I think this is the most in terms of uh actual texture
71:44
files because like the characters are being upgraded a lot someone could
71:47
correct me on that I could be wrong but I believe it is the biggest one they've
71:51
had so far so they um they're they're talking about it actually pretty openly
71:56
for blizzard which is surprising uh but they went back to the drawing board last
72:00
year and now they're basically just saying well we made wow and we figured
72:04
we knew how to make an MMO but here we are we're looking at this and we're not
72:07
finding the fun and if it's not fun then what's the bloody Point basically it's
72:11
not the first time they've cancelled a significant project that had a lot of
72:14
hype around it yeah Starcraft ghost was supposed to be an FPS about ghosts I was
72:20
pretty stoked for that actually different ghost that was one of the most
72:23
games that I was most hyped about and they just ripped it from reality that
72:28
was unfortunate I mean they had all that artwork of carrian and like was going to
72:32
be cool Nova so much for that um all right so we'll do a few rapid fire
72:36
topics before we before we get into we have build blogs and the giveaway to
72:40
yeah I know uh the 12 in MacBook Air is rumored to maybe have a USB type-c port
72:45
that would be very cool very unexpected I would expect Apple to continue to
72:49
support Thunderbolt exclusively mind you with how many of the rumors about the
72:52
iPhone 6 were just completely out in la la
72:56
um I'd be surprised if this one's true Sleeping Dog sequel Triad Wars is going
73:00
to be PC exclusive hopefully not as many bugs as there was in the console Port uh
73:04
LED SLI Bridges have now been released
73:08
so the ones used in the mod 24 rigs that modding competition that we checked out
73:12
and that have been seen before in like NVIDIA showcase builds for quite some
73:17
time the uh here we've got a we've got a shot of them here so those sexy metal
73:23
SLI bridges that match the the cards really well and they're also releasing
73:26
two different spacings for a dual card yes I saw that so they're releasing like
73:32
side byid so especially if you have something like an matx board you might want to have that and they're releasing
73:36
the the like empty space between the Cards on I love it they're only 30 bucks
73:40
for a two-way and uh 40 bucks for a three-way model which isn't that cheap
73:45
but when you consider how much You' just already spent on your graphics cards I
73:49
don't think it's that much of an Adder yeah um yeah fantastic yep uh nintend
73:55
nintend quasi qu Centennial what the
73:59
heck oh okay whatever so they turned 125 on
74:02
Tuesday um for most of Nintendo's life they produced cards toys and other
74:07
random stuff and didn't transition to video games until actually the
74:11
1970s so uh pretty cool way to go Nintendo happy birthday and they've been
74:15
doing a lot of great stuff lately actually they've totally turned around in the last little while uh even looking
74:20
at stuff like their their DLC for Mario Kart that they're coming out with Y
74:23
absolutely fantastic they're going to double the amount of uh tracks that
74:26
there is or no they're they're 150% the current amount so
74:31
adding 50% the amount of tracks whole bunch of more Racers whole bunch of new
74:35
cars and they're they're continuing down that line with DLC and they come out with Smash and all you you know what I
74:39
like about what they did with Mario Kart because there's the usual argument where
74:43
oh well it's DLC so you shouldn't have made us pay for it in the first place it
74:47
should have been in the game they included exactly as many tracks y as
74:52
they normally do in a Mario Kart game so that PL can just and that's a philosophy
74:56
that's carrying into other games as well and they've publicly said that they're not going to change that their golf game
75:01
I've never played any of their golf games but apparently they have a minimum for the amount of courses and holes that
75:06
will be in a golf game so every golf game Nintendo has released has had a
75:10
minimum amount and in the new one I think you get 100% more or uh sorry I
75:16
think it will be 50% more or 100% more I don't remember how many but there's a
75:20
massive amount of holes and uh courses in the golf game again not really into
75:24
that but people were freaking out about the DLC for that so I read up on it a
75:27
little bit pretty interesting I'm down
75:31
with DLC which is an actual expansion
75:35
yeah I DLC because that's what DLC should be DLC is not new you know War
75:40
Warcraft 2 beyond the dark portal would
75:43
have been DLC if it was possible if it was possible and and I'm totally okay
75:48
with expansion packs I love expansion Age of Empires had DLC Frozen Throne was
75:52
an amazing expansion pack for Warcraft 3 that's right super good and if and if
75:57
DLC legitimately Builds on what was already a freestanding game adds more
76:01
units adds new campaign tweaks uh actually I'm not sure if I how I feel
76:06
about tweaking balance unless you're adding new units but but just if it
76:10
enhances the game and gives War gives
76:13
what originally had its own you know I feel like I got my money's worth out of
76:18
it gives it a whole another set of that then I feel pretty good about it I'm
76:22
okay with that if it's like horse armor then
76:25
yeah I don't know well I they okay you
76:28
could say that and they took a lot of flack for that but hasn't the entire
76:33
DLC industry turned into horse armor
76:36
yeah and that's stupid but that's kind of our fault because people buy it I
76:39
don't buy it but people buy it just stop and then it'll go away
76:45
because it won't be worth creating art assets that people don't buy all
76:50
right it's time to do the million
76:55
subscriber giveaway I don't even know if I can help you cuz my computer doesn't
76:59
seem to be really getting internet oh hey it's working I'm on the uh I'm on
77:03
the other rouer I can help you all right
77:06
so we doing that random.org or how is this how's this happening y we're going
77:10
to random.org this shiz so basically we
77:13
are drawing the winners for the custombuilt gaming PC which I haven't
77:17
gotten around to building yet but I will the custombuilt gaming PC isn't it
77:20
mostly built already no I haven't even touched it the video card on your bench
77:25
I thought that was the razor one no oh no that's been torn apart Oh I thought
77:29
you just like rebuilding that up and then we can't ship that case it's like got scratches and crap on it oh yeah
77:34
it's yeah it's an engineering sample yeah yeah okay uh no no well we'll find
77:37
a case we'll find a good one we have a garage full of cases um so okay so
77:42
custom gaming rig Microsoft Surface Pro 3 the one that I bought to do my review
77:47
and because I thought I might end up using it but I didn't really like it that much but you might and whatever our
77:53
last what was our last prize I don't even remember ah yes we're redrawing the
77:56
G550 J from Highlander because the
78:00
person who won it never responded so the third time I think bummer for them all
78:05
right so we're going to the thread we're going to draw it live uh 1 million
78:09
subscribers thank you all oh hold on a second I gotta sign
78:16
out back to here signing
78:19
out scrolling down contrl F searching
78:23
wow clicking you are the most helpful person ever today viewing random Forum
78:28
thread you're back to being dead to taking you back off my
78:34
shirt all right so the first two are
78:38
going to go to the first two people who are randomly drawn the third one we are
78:43
going to keep drawing until we find someone who is a positively contributing
78:48
member to The Forum how are we judging that uh we're just going to kind of look
78:53
at them and if we know who they are then they win this might be awkward I we'll
78:58
figure it out maybe let's not say positively contributing let's just say
79:01
contributing okay an actual member of the of the lonus tech chps Forum that
79:06
participates participatory member of The Forum why don't we say just for the sake
79:11
of making life a little bit easier for ourselves why don't we say kind of um
79:16
post count is sketchy no no I don't want to use post count but post count doesn't
79:19
matter at all but we'll we'll we'll we'll kind of do a quick glance at their
79:23
last few posts and make sure that they're actually trying to participate
79:28
okay and I'm not going to be looking at anyone who started participating right
79:32
when the 1 million subscriber giveaway started because I said that that was
79:36
going to be a requirement and that I wanted it to be for people who have
79:39
already participated without me offering them uh a laptop yeah yeah okay all
79:44
right so let's do the first draw random.org
79:48
1,119 oh my goodness Min one
79:53
1,119 generous great so now we are going
79:56
to go to page 742 in the thread click on
80:00
that which this click on page one you can do that yeah and then oh no way that
80:06
is amazing all right did you click go I mostly clicked
80:11
go okay I think it I think it worked all right this is kind of a big thread I
80:16
think everyone's looking at the Forum yeah and everyone's probably looking at
80:20
the Forum right now because that will somehow affect their chances of winning
80:24
I guess or something they will be there with
80:29
us oh derped refresh it yeah oh okay what
80:36
page was it 742 let's make sure I got that right yes
80:43
whoops yes I don't have a very good memory especially when I'm sleep
80:48
deprived did you already have the thread loaded up yeah or did you load this
80:53
okay everyone went to the Forum The
80:57
Forum isn't hosted on Squarespace yeah I know right okay so I really wanted to do
81:02
this live but it looks like that is not going to happen I'm sorry we do like to
81:07
do these draws live just so that you guys can can trust us that we we can do
81:12
a recorded video of it while the camera doesn't stop and we draw it there
81:17
because that would be way too much production time where are we even going to release that I guess we can put it
81:22
unlisted on the channel and like link it in the wow do here or something it would
81:25
be a fun video oh I don't want to do a full video for
81:29
that okay we'll we'll talk about it offline but um okay so in that case are
81:34
you even able to do build logs then yes I sent you an email all right sweet like
81:38
right when the show started so it should be pretty recent do your
81:42
LMG thing there we go all right here we
81:46
go feature build log there's four things but you only need really two of them but
81:49
if you download it you because you probably won't be able to view it in your browser you can try but I expect no
81:56
so there was one choice by the community and there's one choice by the staff I
81:59
don't know why that happened cuz I told them considering there were so many
82:03
entries there should be like way more than one from each but apparently
82:06
there's one from each so we're doing one from each for now because I didn't
82:10
notice until today I probably should have checked so that was my
82:14
fault at least you owned your mistake yep all right so uh slideshow so the
82:20
first one is by Sage C and this is Project N64 I believe this one was the
82:24
one chosen by the mods why is that the
82:28
slideshow what the heck is this
82:31
what y PowerPoint why you
82:36
do why you why you do this power that is
82:39
super derp that better not be the was it like review slideshow from beginning it
82:44
should be what are you doing display settings
82:49
maybe here we go what oh that's like presenter View
82:55
okay I get
82:58
it
83:04
um it's not it's not a
83:08
what oh hold on a second uh wait where did where did we
83:13
get that hold on one sec we're learning how to use PowerPoint we'll be back
83:16
except we're not going anywhere no I think they had the right one already no
83:21
they don't it should it shouldn't be anre yeah it's a duplicated screen is it
83:26
is it Frozen no I don't think so try to open
83:30
your start menu maybe Frozen not
83:37
frozen oh it's an extended display why
83:41
is it an extended display why is it extended we're supposed to do duplicate
83:45
displays what is it doing I don't know what is it high this is really weird so
83:49
we're looking at a presenter view that is
83:53
not oh oh my goodness all right so let's
83:57
just let's just try previewing it from here this is why we don't make videos
84:01
about Microsoft software well what were they thinking about PowerPoint I guess
84:06
who does make videos about someone should make a video about PowerPoint cuz this is ridiculous boring video they
84:10
should present the video from PowerPoint they should just record their screen and
84:13
have a PowerPoint presentation running I'm sure that I'm sure that people who
84:17
use PowerPoint all the time technically I use PowerPoint all the time I just
84:22
realized that but I don't use this version so that's my defense I'm sure someone's
84:27
laughing at us and I'm sure that they're right and we're we're idiots or in the
84:30
version that I use it's like super duper
84:34
easy okay yay all right l a screen nope
84:40
what are we looking at I have no idea not a
84:47
clue what is it's not showing your screen though because you just had a
84:50
photo viewer up yeah it's not updating
84:53
or something oh that's why I said open your start menu like it's not updating
84:57
properly there's something else going on because it's yeah when you open your
85:02
start menu it should have shown the start menu on yeah it's not working oh
85:06
okay well that explains a lot now then so let's see if uh did you try
85:11
unplugging it and plugging it back in no no not yet um let's just see if this
85:18
does a thing a well okay okay okay new
85:22
plan new plan don't worry you guys we're
85:25
going to find a way to do this oh there you go that'll work I want to do build
85:29
Guides of the week dang it month oh hold on a
85:33
second oh oh oh okay okay we heard back
85:38
from NVIDIA just in time well actually
85:41
right around the time we were talking about it on the show called it that's
85:44
all I have to say it is not NVIDIA's intention to restrict support to GeForce
85:49
PCS the reality is that the quickest path to releasing PC support was to
85:54
release it through our existing GeForce experience software we are working on a
85:58
plan to support non- GeForce PCS but currently cannot commit to a time frame
86:02
for support all right Faith restored it
86:06
made no sense like I didn't want to like go over it too hard but it made no sense
86:11
there nothing in but you were saying that there's something in in GeForce
86:14
experience that it would have to be tied to well no what I what I was saying was
86:17
that maybe like I could understand why GeForce experience might be
86:22
easier we can go back and you can watch the archive if you want I never said
86:26
that I said that the touchpad might not work or something yeah but that makes no
86:30
sense why not who knows what ises GeForce experience do that would have
86:34
anything to do with that who knows the point is that as a controller I couldn't
86:38
see any reason why it wouldn't work so anyway the point is completely valid
86:42
none of that happened they just rolled it out through gForce experience because
86:46
of convenient way for them to roll driver updates out to people and it was
86:49
really painless to get it working I just plugged it in and it worked which is nice all right yay faith St NVIDIA good
86:55
job you guys um let's go ahead and go
86:59
back to Luke's email here which hopefully I can find I can't even see it
87:04
I get too many emails top one top one top one top one
87:08
there we go build LGS um blue ones why are there four BL
87:15
okay my brain is exploding all right let's why it
87:19
download oh did you click both of them so what we'll have to do screen region
87:24
capture is yeah we'll just do screen region capture and then we will oh I
87:31
don't know let's pick this scene or something oh add screen
87:37
region all right stream seion for a little bit here
87:41
guys and slideshow from beginning so now
87:46
we're just hoping that it's working yeah cool it's probably working project and
87:51
okay do you want to give the background for this uh project N64 well let's just
87:56
got that so far by Sage C let's go with them let's go with them so this is all
87:59
the included components um which is not super important in my opinion you can
88:04
check out all the included components and all that kind of stuff if you go are you hating on his inclusion of a broken
88:08
N64 no I think that's pretty cool because that was my actually this this
88:12
is an interesting discussion that was my favorite part about listing the system
88:15
specs of my mineral oil PC was when they asked for case right I was always like
88:20
fish tank yeah so that's yeah yeah I
88:24
know that's pretty cool but the the point of the build doogs isn't necessarily like oh he used AMD instead
88:29
of Intel like that's not really the point so I don't really want to spend
88:32
too much time on this this is the point
88:36
the awesomeness that is this computer so yeah he shows in the
88:41
beginning where he just kind of tore apart the N64 and started removing
88:45
things then putting in his motherboard and whatnot and then if we move on
88:48
forward you can see the end shots which
88:52
are amazing wow that's
88:56
ridiculous that's fantastic pretty freaking cool I've seen
89:01
some like old console buildup computer
89:04
into it builds but this one is kind of
89:07
incredible even having seen those in the past that's really clean yeah it is
89:11
extremely clean usually you see some sort of breakage and this is extremely
89:16
well done all right super awesome so I
89:19
believe that one was voted for by he
89:22
stole my idea yeah no um I believe that one was voted for by the mods someone in
89:27
the chat was like B he stole my idea like yeah it's also been done before
89:32
yeah the idea of building a computer in a in an old console is not really new no
89:36
it's awesome and you did an extremely good job but it it probably wasn't your
89:40
original idea and it yeah more people will do it in the future all right sorry
89:44
I'm just trying to be careful not to leak anyone's personal information here
89:48
so would be happy about that was it guest here we go all right so we've got
89:53
our second one here here so just in case you didn't know water cooled PC desk mod
89:57
with car sound system this one's got some pretty nice
90:02
specs two 780 Ti and SLI lots of storage
90:06
holy crap seven terabytes of storage plus the
90:12
ssds although I don't think he te no he didn't make it into the 10 tab thread
90:17
unfortunately close enough and from what I've heard you're allowed to be a
90:22
heathen and posting the 10 tab thread evening if you don't have 10 tabes oh
90:26
just to like hang out with everyone if you want I guess I should I should post
90:29
our uh our server when we get our new uh Seagate drives we're getting some super
90:34
high cap Seagate drives for our for our server that are going to make us maybe
90:38
near the top of the 10 tab plus nice will we not be in red anymore because
90:42
that would be nice I'm sorry we've been riding the red line for like months uh
90:46
it's been relatively okay lately I expanded it to 21 terabytes and we
90:50
offloaded four terabytes the other day there you go nice all right wow so it
90:55
looks extremely similar to the NVIDIA
90:58
desk that we went to go see yeah that's true not exactly the same at all Y no
