where audio problems are just the beginnings of our failure so today I am
0:05
even later than I was supposed to be because I had some some audio issues
0:09
there and I do apologize for that I every time I set up in a completely new
0:13
and different environment it's always a new and different Adventure so today I
0:18
put together my streaming pack of the xa20 camera a tripod the razor blade
0:24
laptop a capture card a Mouse a mouse pad a razor blade laptop which
0:28
unfortunately doesn't have Ethernet so I had to bring along my handy dandy little
0:33
USB to Ethernet adapter and then I borrowed a table and I borrowed a place
0:37
to stream from from the NCIX guys so my original brilliant plan was actually to
0:42
film everything that I needed back at our studio today and then come out to NC
0:48
to film later and do the W show from here which would save me a trip to
0:52
Richmond later tonight when I come out to play play to play badminton
0:56
apparently my mic is too loud well I can't turn down much so uh
1:03
okay recording devices um blippity bloppy levels
1:09
whatever there hopefully that's fine uh not much not much I can do other than
1:13
just guess at this point because me having my monitoring on seems to be what
1:17
caused the problems before so there you
1:22
go guys um apparently peing still it's echo
1:26
in the room Mike good you guys drive me
1:30
me absolutely too you guys drive me
1:33
absolutely crazy with this stuff you're killing me here
1:38
um so yeah all right we're just gonna
1:41
have to roll with you know what maybe Jack can help me out hey uh
1:45
Jack are you on the stream does it sound okay I've got people saying it's too
1:50
loud people saying it's too quiet people saying that they've had too much bourbon
1:55
to drink today and they can't hear anything they their blood
2:00
and they can't hear so uh
2:05
yeah all right so I'm going to go ahead and kick off with our first topic of the
2:10
day I do not have Luke on the stream
2:13
today he is actually on vacation today
2:17
so he's gone to the pton music festival
2:20
whatever that thing is called fortunately the wildfires haven't
2:24
completely gotten out of control up there so the music festival is a go he
2:30
and Nick and burkel have all gone up for the weekend so that means I am on my own
2:35
today for the W show but the good news is that I have a bunch of great topics
2:39
for you guys today including uh the recent reveal that Sky
2:44
Lake xeons are going to be rumored to have up to
2:48
28 CPU cores I mean I thought the
2:52
current 18 core haswell-based
2:55
Zeon that I had was like wow that's so
2:59
amazing it's it's got 18 cores no no we're talking 28 cores apple is
3:04
apparently being sued over the eyewatch
3:07
trademark something that makes a ton of sense because their watch is called the
3:12
eyewatch at least I think college humor told me that it was called the eyewatch
3:16
more on that later also Boeing has apparently patented a laser powered
3:21
Fusion fishing jet engine concept fusion
3:26
and fishing and lasers I mean does it get any better than that yes it does
3:30
when I roll the
3:52
intro and our sponsors today dollar J
3:58
Club as well as as I fix it
4:05
w all right so let's kick off our first topic of the
4:10
day actually this is okay we're apparently going to start with like the
4:14
worst news of the day so Nintendo released a statement you can actually
4:19
check that out here that yeah not wow
4:23
this is like I just it's hard for me to
4:27
imagine if if my life were to be summarized in such a succinct and um and
4:33
efficient manner like like if lus Media Group issued like a a notification of
4:39
death and Personnel change of a representative director so president of
4:46
Nintendo saturo iada has passed away at
4:50
the age of merely 55 which you know a
4:54
couple thousand years ago would have been impressive that he managed to to to
4:59
be so to be so old and still alive but today feels like he's been taken away
5:05
from us much much too young um I just oh
5:09
man there's something very um there's something very cold about this this
5:14
document here career record June 2000 appointed as director May 2002 appointed
5:18
as president June 2003 appointed as CEO of Nintendo of America
5:26
Inc so that is if you're if you're into
5:29
gaming that is some that is some pretty crummy news he actually has been with
5:32
Nintendo for a very long time started out with Hal worked on Kirby as well as
5:37
Earthbound total cult classic a lot of people cutting their RPG gaming teeth on
5:43
Earthbound and other games of that era uh later worked on programming for the
5:47
Pokemon games push development of the Wii and DS however you may or may not
5:52
feel about this uh it seemed like a good direction for Nintendo at the time they
5:56
had some of their most successful years ever so push develop M of the Wii and
6:00
the DS to appeal to people who weren't necessarily Gamers yet so really
6:04
recognize that gaming was becoming more than just something that people do in
6:08
their mom's basement and uh passed away from bile duct cancer so very very
6:14
unfortunate news for this week
6:18
um yeah so so there you go I guess
6:21
that's what we're that's what we're starting with this week uh Star Wars
6:25
Battlefront more bad news for I mean obviously to a to a much lesser degree
6:31
the original article here is from PC Gamer and actually I'm I'm totally
6:35
thrown off by not having my uh not having my co-host with me today so I'm
6:39
going to go ahead and pop that link into
6:42
the twitch chat before I bring it up in my browser here I actually really like
6:47
this uh this one host having the article
6:51
like quite large beside me and actually scrollable and mostly viewable kind of
6:55
thing maybe I should just kick Luke off the W show permanently no just kidding
6:59
I'm not going to do that Star Wars Battlefront won't support split screen
7:04
play on the PC now I don't personally
7:10
understand why most PC Gamers would have
7:15
ever expected this um it's not like the
7:19
typical PC gaming you know you know like
7:23
you go on um you know r/ PC Master race
7:27
or or Battle Stations or or whatever you're not going to find a whole lot of
7:32
PC setups that are like yeah here's my PC hooked up to like a big monitor with
7:37
four controllers for all my split screen you know racing gaming with my friends
7:42
it's just it's it's not something that we've typically seen on the PC but the
7:46
flip side of that is I I would love to see more of those things that are taken
7:51
for granted on the console supported on the PC because it's not like you can't
7:55
hook up an Xbox controller or 4 to a PC
7:58
and have a really great Cooperative or
8:01
Competitive Gaming experience with your friends on a single display and um yeah
8:06
so supports Co-op play on Xbox One and PS4 but not PC so no split screen and no
8:12
local co-op the lack of co-op games on the PC
8:17
is another one that really grinds my gears but I don't really need to get too
8:21
deep into that because I'm sure that you guys have heard that um in the past from
8:27
me a fair bit so we've still got a lot of people
8:31
saying the the Jack you're sure the stream is not too quiet right oh Jack is
8:37
gone Jack are you sure the stream is not too
8:45
quiet he put on headphones okay I'll tell you
8:48
what I will turn it up a little bit there are we happy hopefully we're happy
8:54
I really hope we're happy you guys are driving me crazy twitch chat now I know
8:59
I I I saw someone's chat message in the twitch chat like blah blah you know you
9:04
don't interact with your with your Twitch chat viewers and all you know why
9:10
because you guys are usually trolling the crap out of me that's why I can't
9:14
interact with you you have lost your interaction privileges that is what
9:19
happened here that is what happened my
9:22
friends so uh let's go ahead and move on
9:25
to our next topic here ah yes IBM and
9:29
NVIDIA launch super computer centers of
9:38
excellence you guys supercomputer centers of excellence let's go ahead and
9:43
pull this article up Bippity bu news items redirecting so basically what this
9:49
amounts to is here we go at both
9:52
Oakridge National Laboratory and I want to say some other location it's in my
9:57
notes but not here uh so these are oh
10:01
wow there's actually oh I remember
10:04
reading this article and thinking oh yeah this is all like interesting stuff
10:07
uh blah blah I hope it's in my it's in my notes it's actually not in the notes
10:10
I'm just going to cheat and look at the article so uh Oak Ridge and Lawrence
10:14
Livermore in uh they're going to be delivered in 2017 and operational by
10:19
2018 and they are going to be called the
10:22
yep sure wish I had this oh okay yep
10:25
there you go got the memo so they're going to be called Summit and Sierra so
10:29
these are part of IBM's whole um
10:33
contract with the US Department of energy and they're going to be used for
10:36
a number of really cool things so some of it is going to be kind of your
10:40
typical supercomputing stuff like you know weather mapping and all that kind
10:44
of stuff you know just staying ahead on the in the supercomputer rat race of the
10:50
uh you know the other the other nations that are working on their own
10:53
proprietary supercomputer systems China to um and then some of the stuff that
10:58
they're going to be doing is really cool so one of them is apparently going to be
11:02
set to the task of mapping the inside of
11:05
the earth I mean can you even begin to imagine what kind of useful information
11:10
that we could possibly gain about the inside of the earth whether it's to do
11:14
with the compens composition whether it's to do with you know wow like it's
11:20
yeah it's sort of more than my imagination can handle so uh yeah
11:25
mapping the inside of the earth uh which actually leads me to another really cool
11:31
topic Samsung has apparently filed a
11:34
patent so the original article here is from Android authority let's go ahead
11:39
and pop this up here all right let's go
11:43
ahead and post this in the twitch chat Samsung has apparently
11:47
patented a sensor to detect your body
11:52
fat so we know that whether it's apple
11:57
or whether it's Samsung or whether it's any other profitable smartphone maker
12:01
which more on that a little bit later there aren't a whole lot of them whether
12:05
it's apple or whether it's Samsung smartphone makers are really into the
12:11
whole idea of making your phone or your Smartwatch or whatever other devices
12:15
you're carrying around with you um making them into whether wow I want to
12:21
be really careful what I say here because what I was about to say was
12:25
making them into useful tools for you know monitoring your health and living a
12:29
more active lifestyle when really my personal philosophy on this whole thing
12:33
is that it doesn't do much of anything
12:38
other than make you make you want to buy it more like I think it's just a pure
12:42
sales pitch if we can convince someone that buying this phone or buying this
12:47
Smartwatch will make them lose 20 pounds then it it's that whole buying something
12:52
based on self-image rather than buying something based on like a rational
12:57
decision anyway um it's no secret that they that they want not only to make us
13:02
feel like they're useful for these things but to actually make them
13:05
functionally better for these things so this is a huge step in that direction
13:11
because there's only so much information
13:14
that you can get from a pedometer and as my time with the Apple watch has
13:18
definitely taught me uh it's not that
13:23
much so so I mean I'd be sitting there I'd be sitting there working on my
13:27
review uh one feature that I didn't use because I'm Just Not That Into The Whole
13:31
Health features thing on on phones and SmartWatches so one feature that I
13:35
didn't touch the whole time I was naturally using the product for my
13:38
review was one where you can set a a predetermined workout so you can say
13:43
like hey I want to you know burn X number of calories by walking really
13:48
fast so hey can you count me down on this and I'll you know go do that so I
13:52
was just dinking around with the menu and I turned that on and then I kind of forgot about it and then I realized
13:59
know 10 minutes later that I had actually tracked I think it was
14:02
something like 4% of my brisk walking
14:05
exercise and I had literally been sitting there writing a review about the
14:09
Apple watch and how I don't actually think those kinds of features are that
14:13
useful so Apple went ahead and proved my point
14:17
for me there but if they could measure body fat that may actually give us some
14:23
usable data over the much longer term um
14:28
you know I you the the problem though is that that doesn't really tell us a big
14:32
picture unless it's accompanied by accurate data and that that's another
14:36
real challenge is even the Apple watch which was hailed as you know going to be
14:41
gamechanging with all of the health related body related sensors on it um
14:45
even the Apple watch has been found to not be that accurate of a heart rate
14:49
monitor um unless you like you know
14:53
practically bolt it to your wrist so so this body fat thing without other
14:58
accurate data it doesn't really give us a whole picture but it's definitely a
15:01
move in the right direction because over a span of you know 6 months or whatever
15:07
else if you see significant changes if you're taking measurements daily you
15:10
know even if they're not that and I'm going to say the wrong one because
15:13
accurate and precise are not the same thing for those of you who didn't know
15:17
that one of them means close to the real value the other one means um
15:22
consistently a value but maybe not necessarily that close so um so even if
15:28
the reading is not that precise I think
15:32
that's the one where if you're not precise you could be scattered but probably around you could still be
15:36
accurate so if they're accurate but not precise taking many readings over a long
15:39
period of time could give you some really useful data about what it is you're doing and whether or not is
15:43
helping and you know with the way that um with the way that Fitness vlogging
15:48
and lifestyle vlogging is taking off I mean even in the The Tech Community of
15:52
all places you look at guys like uh like Jay or Jerry that are doing uh frequent
15:59
updates on their personal fitness goals I mean that kind of stuff is great and
16:03
giving people new tools is great but it
16:06
still doesn't change um it still doesn't change my
16:11
perception of these features as tacking things onto a product that seemed to be
16:16
designed to sell them to us rather than designed for people to genuinely use
16:20
them so that patent was just granted so there's no word as of yet on when we
16:25
will see this technology in phones but the idea is that you would just hold
16:28
your smartphone and it would measure your body fat percentage using
16:31
electrical impedance readings so very cool stuff uh I guess that leads us
16:37
pretty well into uh this uh this next
16:40
topic here this is absolutely
16:43
mindblowing and I will show it to you guys in a
16:47
second so the latest estimates
16:50
here there we go oh Luke is Luke always does it the
16:55
not lazy way and uh makes it so it doesn't leave that ugly Google link in
17:00
the twitch chat but sorry I'm running the show by myself today here guys I
17:04
apologize report Apple takes
17:09
92% of smartphone market profits on just
17:13
20% of sales so to put that number in
17:18
perspective this is this is a Wall Street Journal quote roughly 1,000
17:23
companies make smartphones one of those compan IES
17:29
reaps nearly all the profits is that not
17:33
absolutely mindboggling and you can point to a lot of different causes for
17:38
this you can point to the fact that Apple's Hardware is frankly not that
17:44
high spec compared to a flagship Android phone that's going to have eight CPU
17:49
cores in it a high-end GPU although Apple does put powerful gpus in their in
17:54
their smartphones it's going to have a you know 1440p display Apple doesn't app
17:58
Apple doesn't have any smartphones that feature 1440 displays they just finally
18:03
went 1080p with the iPhone 6 plus you know uh Android makers have been putting
18:08
NFC in their phones for years whereas Apple only just finally rolled that out
18:13
um Android phone makers I mean these are things that everyone has to pay the same
18:17
amount for in fact thanks to Apple's um
18:20
well their buying power thanks to Apple's buying power they probably don't even pay the same for things like like
18:26
memory or flash storage Apple doesn't put as much RAM in their smartphones
18:30
because they can control the operating system to the point where they simply do
18:34
not need it so there's a lot of reasons I mean Apple charges a high price for
18:39
every phone they sell you can look at Samsung and go oh well you know they
18:42
have a 600 or $700 phone or whatever
18:46
line is that's an S6 active that's a $600 phone S6 Edge is an expensive phone
18:50
yeah but the thing is that companies like Samsung are also spending R&D money
18:56
on developing low-end phones the sale price is actually much closer to the
19:01
bomb cost of the unit than you would probably think cuz you know that's
19:06
that's one of the things you know those articles that come out every time a new
19:09
iPhone or a new Galaxy S whatever is released where someone does a tear down
19:14
and is like okay well the bomb cost for this panel and that motion sensor and
19:19
that button is is whatever it happens to be and you kind of go wow really that
19:23
thing only costs like $130 to make and it's $600 retail
19:29
so think about this for a second the R&D that goes into producing a phone is
19:33
going to be a lot regardless of whether it's a $600 phone or a $200 phone and if
19:38
your cost on a high-end phone can only be as high as like 150 170 bucks then
19:44
your cost on a $200 phone in order to make you know uh $400 of gross margin on
19:51
it well gee that that math doesn't work
19:55
at all and something a lot of people don't realize is that a flag ship you
19:59
know Snapdragon 810 actually doesn't cost that much more than an 808 there
20:04
isn't a huge discount because much like what you'll see on you see this on
20:09
desktop processors too you can buy an extreme Edition for $1,000 or you can
20:15
buy you know a 582k for 350 bucks or
20:19
whatever that is those two chips cost
20:23
the same so when you are responsible for actually manufacturing the chips you you
20:28
you you can actually like you can sell it for a lot but then your your cost to
20:33
manufacture it and therefore your discount that you can give on lower-end
20:36
products isn't necessarily uh that different so so if you're making low-end
20:41
smartphones you are basically buying market share you got to have some other
20:46
kind of agenda whether you want people signed up for you know your your partner
20:51
apps that you're including on the phone or whether you want people um locked
20:55
into like what Samsung was doing for the longest time where they'd include all
20:59
their own you know mail app and App Store like if you want to if you want to
21:03
make future app sales and take a cut of that or whatever else the case may be
21:07
because you are not making money on that
21:10
handset once you factor in R&D and the margins that the carriers want to make
21:14
or the retailers want to make or whatever else so um just to give you
21:17
guys some idea of what the rest of the landscape looks like Samsung took a
21:21
further 15% of the profits
21:24
which is uh kind of kind of a funny way
21:27
of of doing the math because if Apple took 92% and Samsung took 15% well hold
21:32
on a second that's 107% of the profit in the smartphone
21:37
industry lus what are you doing um well that's because pretty much everyone else
21:41
out there is making a loss on their
21:44
smartphones to make up for that money that Samsung and Apple are going to make
21:50
and it's amazing what a reversal there's
21:53
been in the last few years I mean it was a mirror 3 years ago that
22:01
um uh hold on a second that we were looking at 5050 between Samsung and
22:07
Apple for these numbers whereas Apple has just absolutely you know it's it's
22:12
really funny go figure Apple got even more dominant than before by delivering
22:17
what people obviously wanted I mean how many people bought a Galaxy Note simply
22:23
because they had this is a great straw pole okay I want the iPhone users to
22:29
answer this for me though let me just apparently there's a
22:33
new version of straw pole launching at some point here so how many
22:38
bought uh a note or similar large okay
22:43
okay how many converted okay from iPhone
22:48
to Android simply because Apple offered
22:54
no sorry I'm talking really slow no
22:57
large screen
23:01
offering it's hard to talk while you type and not talk at the same speed that
23:04
you type while slowing down your typing because you're trying to talk at the same time uh so let's go with uh yes no
23:12
and turnip as usual I actually really
23:17
like having the stream computer right in front of me here it is super duper
23:22
awesome and nice so there we go guys vote in that straw
23:26
pole let's have a look at the results as they come in many of you voting for
23:30
turnup which by the way is our latest shirt and is available right now at
23:34
teespring.com slote number four turnip let's go ahead
23:38
and drop that in there and go back to our straw hole here really interesting
23:42
so so there you go go figure Apple's even more dominant today with their
23:47
super premium pricing high-end devices simply by giving the people what they
23:52
have been asking for for like what was it 3 years between the release of the
23:57
first note and the iPhone 6 Plus personally not a
24:01
huge fan of the iPhone 6 plus I have small hands but hey a lot of people want
24:05
it it is better for the media enjoyment experience it's something that I have
24:09
noticed going from the LG G4 to the S6
24:12
active which is the phone review that I'm working on at the moment here got
24:17
60% of you voting for turnip really do appreciate the uh turnip voters showing
24:22
up in full force here I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the twitch
24:25
chat is always trolling me when I encourage them to you know turnip all
24:30
over everything it is that we're doing which isn't to say that I want to hear
24:34
about fire Poes anym ever again at all
24:38
um yeah I mean really guys really there
24:43
is nothing that I can do I cannot put a
24:46
fire pull in the office for obvious liability reasons you
24:53
guys Okay so we've got more news articles here let's go ahead and I'm
24:58
going to grab the uh lus Tech tips Forum link here I'm going to wait for the
25:02
redirect this time post that in the twitch where' my twitch chat go where's
25:05
my twitch chat and the twitch chat has exploded asking for fire PES of course
25:10
that was going to happen researchers build a transistor from a molecule and a
25:16
few atoms it's funny because this lands
25:20
on the same week when we've got news out of Intel that there are going to be for
25:25
the first time and I think what is it
25:28
I want to say like six years or something like that Intel has changed
25:34
their forecast saying that they are not going to be able to stick to their Tick
25:39
Tock strategy which is a die shrink
25:43
every every other cycle and then a a
25:47
refinement of their microarchitecture every other cycle and they have been
25:51
like on schedule they called it tick tock because it was going to be reliable
25:55
like a clock Moore's Law was not going
25:59
to let us down well for the first time ever Intel has stumbled and then boom
26:05
we've got news dropping that researchers are building transistors from a molecule
26:09
and a few atoms so it works similarly to
26:12
Quantum dots but the transistor depends
26:15
on just the charge state of one organic
26:20
molecule so just a single electron affects the molecule state with
26:24
individual atoms of indium surrounding the molecule and regulating the electron
26:27
flow this could lead to integrating these sorts of transistors into
26:32
traditional CPUs so this isn't like some
26:35
crazy like oh it's only going to be useful for like you know quantum
26:39
computers that are liquid helium cooled or whatever the case may be no this
26:44
could turn into something that you could actually use in your computer extremely
26:49
exciting stuff which leads us into those uh those other I mean these are fairly
26:53
rapid fire news topics but I'm still going to go ahead and post these bad
26:56
boys here so
27:00
tsmc is going to be starting testing on their 10 nanometer process starting next
27:05
year which is another another huge huge
27:10
bit of news so competition between Samsung and tsmc in 10 nanometer finfet
27:16
Market heats up well hold on a second where does Intel figure into all this
27:21
Intel well that's our next news topic so for for now let's just talk about tsmc
27:25
and Samsung so tsmc is a apparently
27:28
ramping things up and really putting their foot on the pedal in order to have
27:32
a crack at Apple's A10 processor production so I guess that also would
27:37
align with the rumors that Apple's A10 processor will be produced in 10 n at a
27:43
10 nanometer process node so that could yield apparently and this is sort of
27:49
this is all forecast stuff so it's not really that meaningful today but we're
27:52
looking at a potential 20% performance gain with a 40% reduction in power
27:57
consumption who here oh this is a good one straw
28:01
pull time my friends if Apple gets a
28:07
40% power consumption reduction on the
28:10
A10 will Apple use it to extend battery
28:16
life yes or no remember guys the other
28:21
option is that Apple will simply turn it into thinner iPhones and iPads yet again
28:28
completely ignoring the fact that some people like me legitimately want just
28:34
more freaking battery life Wow we've got
28:38
these votes coming in here guys with 72% even turnip is losing this vote today a
28:44
massive 70% of you are saying no apple
28:47
will not use the power savings to extend battery life and there are legitimately
28:53
good things they could do with it for example I've been saying well since my
28:57
Mac book review that I think the direction that Apple's heading is a
29:02
MacBook like an ultra portable laptop that is powered by their tablet
29:06
processors and and smartphone processors so that's something they could do they
29:10
could use that extra 20% you know performance and then 40%
29:15
power to like actually make a bigger chip that consumes you know a similar
29:19
amount of power but is like actually like way higher performance and they
29:22
could go and put it in a laptop or on
29:26
the phone and on the tablet side they could just make them thinner and I like
29:30
how many Bend Gates do we need how many
29:33
Bend Gates do we need that's all I have to say looks like the vast majority of
29:38
you are reinforcing my disappointing
29:41
hunch that apple is going to ignore people like me who I'm even I even ran
29:46
out on the S6 active one day which kind
29:49
of surprised me because that's a 3,500 milliamp battery compared to I think
29:53
it's I want to say 3850 or something like that on the Droid Turbo so
29:58
um yeah I I actually ran out one day usually I make it through like I'm I'm
30:03
sitting at 28% today though but I have used it fairly heavily with GPS and all
30:07
that kind of noise wow I feel like I've been talking
30:12
a mile a minute on this stream but apparently you guys like that we have
30:17
6,400 viewers what is going on we are
30:21
halfway through the show that is absolutely incredible now I
30:26
don't want to screw it up and talk about like some kind of boring topic like let's
30:30
play what's on the desk here at the NC
30:35
Studio here we go oh look at that we've
30:38
got an Intel 750 series 1.2 tab SSD just
30:42
sitting here we've got another Intel 750 series
30:46
1.2 tab SSD this time in a 2 and 1 half inch form
30:51
factor no no Jack that's cheating I'm not taking your McDonald's Happy Meal
30:55
nonsense I'm only things that are within my reach we've got a four-way SLI
31:03
Bridge ah a random Cheapo IO
31:07
Shield uhhuh yeah what else we got here
31:11
oh is this under
31:14
NDA what is this node 202 are you
31:21
sure oh oh is there a computer in
31:24
there nope just a power supply I'm just weak oh well that's disappointing so I
31:29
guess we got one of these it's funny because I had a call
31:33
with someone today where I was told not to publish my review yet
31:38
so whose fault is it then if we break an NDA on my show with your review sample
31:45
your show I think you know the yeah I think it's probably my show that's
31:49
that's going to get the take the fall for this one oh is this the curved
31:54
one oh that's a flat one I can't tell I thought it was a Samsung curved 24in
31:58
monitor but it turned out it was actually a Samsung flat 24-in monitor
32:02
that 24 in it the whole curve thing doesn't make a whole ton of sense to me
32:07
personally all right we don't have to play this game anymore that was fun
32:10
though oh actually these are these are super handy we are finally getting some
32:14
of these in our studio uh we're getting a bunch of a bunch of clear ones for for
32:18
storage of things oh here's the curved one look a curved monitor it's curved
32:26
which is good at least that's what I tell
32:29
her C for pleasure yep curved for her
32:33
pleasure mind to I'm pretty sure that depends on the direction of the curve
32:37
and like the position at the time cuz
32:41
like you know like a 180 de turn you
32:45
know from certain angles might actually be quite
32:49
uncomfortable oh look I haven't managed to scare off that many of you I I was
32:52
going to see if I just go off on a completely stupid tangent how many of
32:56
you are going to are going to hate me for forever and and tun out wow I'm
32:59
seriously thank you guys for tuning in anyway let's move on to our next topic
33:03
today um Intel reportedly delays their
33:07
10 nanometer mass production due to uh
33:12
poor yields so let's go ahead and post
33:15
the uh post the link to the Forum here
33:18
all right let's go ahead and pull the article up on RS Technica
33:22
here all right Intel confirms Tick Tock
33:27
shattering KB Lake processor as Mo's law
33:31
falters so the company will make three generations of 14 nanometer processors
33:38
delaying the switch to 10 nanometer and
33:41
you know what it might not necessarily
33:44
be the end of the world I mean you look at what NVIDIA has managed to do stuck
33:50
on 28 nanometer for a freaking dog's age
33:55
I mean think about that for a second look at the Improv ments we saw in
33:59
efficiency as well as performance going from Kepler to Maxwell in spite of the
34:04
fact that they were stuck on the same manufacturing process node maybe the
34:10
engineers at Intel can pull uh you know magic duck out of their hats and turn
34:15
this into a a positive an opportunity to
34:18
optimize their 14 nanometer processors in a way that maybe they didn't think
34:22
about before because they were just relying on on process node shrinks or or
34:27
maybe not of that will happen I mean what I would love to see happen you know
34:30
we we've seen a lot of bad news out of Intel in the last few weeks here whether
34:34
it's the job Cuts or or whether it's the you know the stagnant uh desktop
34:39
processor sales leading to you know an earnings shortfall prediction like that
34:44
that kind of stuff maybe what this will do is is be a bit of a you know wake up
34:50
and smell the coffee call for them to really innovate in terms of performance
34:55
because we've seen them innovate in a lot lot of ways like let's face it as
34:59
much as enthusiasts might not get you
35:03
know excited about 10 watts of better
35:06
you know power savings or whatever the thing that we enthusiasts need to
35:11
realize is that if Intel can build that
35:15
that means that they could probably build a more complex higher performance
35:20
chip that consumed a similar amount of power even if it's not you know double
35:24
the performance hey I would take a you know 30 % you know generation
35:29
overgeneration performance Improvement like we used to see sometimes in an
35:33
absolute freaking heartbeat so I would love to see Intel find a way to capture
35:39
the the hearts of the enthusiasts and not just not just the minds by you know
35:44
maybe dialing back all the graphics on board of an Enthusiast grade CPU maybe
35:50
dialing up the single threaded performance would love to see them just
35:54
kind of take a look take a long hard look at at where they're heading and uh
35:59
and figure out if it's exactly the right direction and you
36:06
know I I hate to do this but uh AMD did
36:11
their earnings call uh Q2 2015 hold on I
36:16
don't actually have this in the dock here but uh edited transcript blah blah
36:20
blah blah blah dang it did anyone do an
36:23
article yeah Revenue falls again this and this and this blah blah blah let's
36:28
see blah blah blah Zen whatever Etc okay
36:33
so crap I can't find it I actually talked about it on netlink daily today
36:38
but AMD has uh can you can you can you remind me what was it they're going 10
36:42
nanometer in 2017 or something like that
36:45
no they've taped out they taped out what okay AMD's first finfett processor
36:52
has taped out which means we actually could be closer than we thought so that
36:56
was one of the things they covered on their earning call this is a huge
37:00
opportunity with because you got to understand guys if Intel decides to
37:03
build um like a consumer grade you know like a like a you know like a something
37:09
770k processor with more of an emphasis
37:13
on CPU and less emphasis on GPU and
37:16
power savings and blah blah that takes years it takes years to turn that around
37:21
so if AMD is already you know waste deep
37:24
in the development process of Zen and Zen turns out to be a success man we
37:29
could see another you know golden year or golden two years out of AMD on the
37:34
CPU side and we could see like some legitimate reasons for an Enthusiast to
37:38
buy an AMD CPU I really hope for this for two reasons number one you
37:44
know I put an AMD CP A lot of people
37:47
call me a fanboy they'll call me an Intel Fanboy or an NVIDIA Fanboy and
37:52
something I'd like you guys to understand is that AMD will always hold
37:56
and ATI for that matter AMD will always hold a very special place in my heart
38:01
even though they absorbed ATI although funny thing is AMD is worth I think it
38:04
was something like a quarter of what they paid for Ati like today anyway
38:08
they'll always hold a special a special place in my heart because the very first
38:13
computer I built for myself AMD processor guys Barton 2500 plus my
38:19
friends overclock the snot out of that thing made it 3200 plus equivalent which
38:24
I told myself at the time because let's face it when I was young I was a bit of
38:28
a fanboy I told myself at the time that that was somehow equivalent to a 3.2 GHz
38:33
you know p4c which come on come on AMD
38:37
fans let's let's be honest with ourselves for a second here the
38:40
performance rating system was dead was dead long before the uh the p4c launched
38:47
Pentium 4B was not that equivalent to AMD's PR or uh you know uh press release
38:53
or uh public relations or performance rating whatever they wanted to call that
38:57
uh system and actually the first addin
39:02
graphics card I ever bought ATI and my friends 9600 Allin Wonder Pro bam so uh
39:11
you know I'd love to see a return to the Glory Days there even if um you know
39:15
I've been disappointed Time and Time and Time and Time and Time Again with the
39:20
latest being the fury X and you know AMD does it to themselves guys they they
39:24
build up this hype train they build up this hype train and then and then they
39:28
underd deliver and you know the the fact of the matter is I can't help myself as
39:32
an Enthusiast I just want to see fast Hardware like I'm not that focused on
39:37
who what brand makes it these days I couldn't care less I just want to make
39:40
it go fast you know what I mean and I still I still have some hope for the uh
39:45
this the this 19 CM um Fury based card
39:50
that's apparently going to be launching sometime in mid August I don't know if I
39:55
actually have uh an article here in the dock for that one but that was just
39:58
something that I was that I was reading about so I think I just I think I just
40:03
completely broke the document and a that
40:06
is so nice ghost who deserves a shout
40:10
out because uh he does so much behind
40:14
the scenes for the W show member of the lonus techtips community ghost he
40:18
actually fixed me overwriting a bunch of crap in the dock while I was looking at
40:22
it he helps flesh out the topics uh he coordinates the folks who put together
40:27
together the time stamps and sends that to me so I can go ahead and get that posted for you guys and look at this has
40:33
added the kit Guru article that I'll go ahead I'll post this in the twitch chat
40:37
here uh boom and I'll go ahead and pull this up here about AMD's finfett whoops
40:43
I keep clicking the wrong thing because I've I've set up my scenes differently
40:47
AMD we have taped out our first finfet
40:51
product first couple of finfet designs blippity bloppy etc etc
40:57
uh needed for production Etc so tape out is the final stage of the design design
41:01
cycle of an integrated circuit the point at which the artwork of the IC is sent
41:05
to the maker of photo masks okay so once the set of photo lithic masks is made
41:09
and verified it is sent to a CHR trct manufacturer for the chip which produces
41:12
the first working samples of the chip so
41:16
they should get their first samples sometime in
41:19
September very exciting stuff and hopefully they're headed in the right
41:24
direction here all right what else we got here oh speaking of ball and
41:28
processors as much as Intel hasn't delivered much for you know Gamers to
41:33
wet their panties over in the last uh few Generations here this is going to
41:38
get some server and you know high
41:42
performance Computing folks pretty freaking excited here so original
41:46
article here is from kid Guru Intel's 28
41:51
core Zeon code name Skylake CPUs to
41:55
support six terabytes of RAM on an LGA
42:00
3467 form factor with a rumored six
42:04
Channel built-in memory controller and
42:08
support for up to eight CPUs on a single
42:13
motherboard yes the Pearly platform will
42:16
be Intel's biggest server platform advancement in many years when it's
42:21
rolled out okay no time soon unfortunately it's not going to be
42:25
rolling out until 27 and that assumes everything stays on schedule which as
42:30
you guys know is not always the case but
42:34
it's going to use a new bus called
42:38
UPI operating at 10 Gat transfers per
42:41
second and the zons themselves will have built-in 10 gbit Ethernet and or 100
42:48
gbit per second Omni paath integrated onto the dyes now that is some useful
42:54
technology to start building on D
42:57
because I mean I don't know if I don't know if some of the younger folks are going to know this but on Intel chipsets
43:04
for years and years and years like remember when we in the early days of
43:09
gigabit remember when it was like really rare like practically unheard of to have
43:14
an Intel gigabit Network chipset on built into your motherboard a lot of
43:19
people don't know this it was all on there was on there all that time Intel
43:23
chipsets had gigabit land on them it was actually a licensing fee that the
43:27
motherboard maker had to pay to Intel in
43:30
order to activate it so wrap your brain around this for a second it was cheaper
43:36
for the motherboard maker to buy a chipset from uh realtech or Marvel or or
43:41
whoever the case may be and put that physical chip on the motherboard
43:46
increasing the complexity of the PCB not to mention buying another chip than it
43:50
was to just unlock the gigabit Ethernet that was on board um so so yeah so more
43:57
Ethernet I don't know if Intel has adjusted their pricing structures or whatever's happened but we've seen a lot
44:01
more Intel Ethernet lately and moving that on die is only good wow excuse me
44:06
that snuck up on me that was rude is only going to be a good thing especially
44:11
as Network speeds ramp up and latency
44:14
becomes much more important to go along with the massive bandwidth that we're
44:19
going to need in order to achieve you know 100 gabit per second connections
44:23
and all that kind of nonsense this is is definitely the day's
44:28
most hilarious piece of news apple is
44:31
getting sued over the name eyewatch even though that's not what their product is
44:36
called so you let's go ahead and test
44:39
this I watch look at that the first search
44:45
result is Apple the next search result is European
44:49
lawsuit over IAT name shows why Apple had to choose Apple watch that's that's
44:54
that's a really funny thing cuz I definitely did did wonder why they went
44:58
with Apple watch instead of eyewatch uh okay there's 9 to5 Mac iatch European
45:04
trademark holders fell the lawsuit Apple's getting sued it's so funny the
45:08
power of Apple even if they don't call
45:11
it something it still completely dominates the headlines so anyway what
45:17
they're butth hurt about so it's an Irish company that owns the eyewatch
45:21
trademark in Europe is upset that Apple
45:24
paid to put Apple watch ads on Google for the search term IAT which I can
45:30
totally understand why they did I mean let's face it you're an average consumer
45:35
who's not you know hanging on to you know Joanie IES every word um you're
45:42
going to probably think it's called the eyewatch because that's what like apple
45:46
stuff that goes in your pocket or you know on your wrist if you had one of
45:51
those tricked out iPod Nanos um that's what Apple portable devices are called
45:56
so for people to go and search on Google for eyewatch and expect to get an Apple
46:00
Watch is a perfectly reasonable thing so for Apple to take advantage of that and
46:06
convert those people to sales makes a ton of sense
46:10
um so yeah but I can also understand you
46:14
know why this particular trademark you know upset is is is is
46:20
going on here so apparently the Europe eyewatch trademark is valued at 87
46:25
million euros and Google is evaluating
46:28
the trademark complaint which apparently they do on a Case by case basis so it
46:33
wouldn't be the first time this is ever happened thanks ghost uh in 2012 Apple
46:37
actually paid 60 million to settle a trademark dispute in China over rights
46:42
to use the name iPad H I should start trade trademarking
46:47
Apple things I've been predicting for a long time iome I should trademark I home
46:52
I think Apple's going to do like like completely prepackaged home homes that
46:57
are just fully automated and integrated with all of Apple services and
47:01
everything the
47:06
iome it's called an i home oh that's lame well I house then bam I domicile I
47:14
residence ey
47:18
structure all right oh we should do sponsor spots right sponsors today
47:23
Dollar Shave Club if you don't know what Dollar Shave Club is you can visit
47:27
dollarshaveclub.com Linus because I can't be arst to tell you about it no
47:31
I'm just kidding I'm just kidding I hope no one from Dollar Shave Club is watching this Dollar Shave Club is the
47:35
service that gets you highquality razors delivered directly to your door for only
47:39
a few bucks a month you can get anything from their basic Dollar Shave Club razor
47:43
which you know you take the hairs off your face with to the executive six
47:47
blade razor that you also take the hairs off your face with but feel like an
47:51
executive while you use it they've also got other bathroom supplies like their
47:55
aftershave their Dr car um shaved butter which goes on clear so
48:00
you can see what you're doing and there are one wipe Charlie's peppermint
48:04
scented butt wipes for men let's face it if you've ever changed a baby's diaper
48:08
you know a dry wipe does not work as well as a wet wipe and a peppermint
48:13
scented butthole is the kind of butthole I want to have so that's
48:17
dollarshaveclub.com Linus to join the club and start shaving time and shaving
48:22
money also sponsored today do you guys have an iFixit toolkit
48:32
you guys bought one on mass drop oh really do do you have it here mine
48:38
got oh but it's over at the other oh okay that's okay I'm just doing a
48:41
sponsorship spot for iix it so I figured if I could hold one up that would be
48:45
great I don't have mine in my backpack today but guys the iFixit Protech
48:49
toolkit is winner winner chicken dinner
48:53
it is absolutely fantastic it's got all kinds of little useful things that you
48:58
can use the guides on ifixit.com in
49:02
order to follow along and uh and repair
49:05
your electronics and all that kind of good stuff so uh let's go ahead and find
49:10
out what all of my talking points are supposed to be for I fix it because I
49:13
don't really know what to say other than that they've got not only their
49:17
fantastic guides but also Fantastic Tools I've used I Fixit tools for dear
49:22
Lord pretty much any piece of electronics that I have disassembled or
49:28
repaired ever since I first ordered a protect tool kit wow it was about 2 and
49:33
A2 years ago that I got my first Protek toolkit so I'm talking the iMac I'm
49:38
talking the MacBook I'm talking cell phone repair whatever the case may be
49:43
they've got torqux they've got triwing I took AP part of DS with it and if you
49:47
use offer code wow you can save $10 on a
49:51
purchase of $50 or more and get your own prote tool kit today and it does just
49:56
end at the Protech toolkit they've got all kinds of great stuff there like when I put the when I took the iMac apart I
50:01
didn't realize until I read their disassembly and reassembly guide that
50:05
you actually have to get replacement adhesive strips and all kinds of crap
50:09
like that so they stalk all that stuff as well they stalk like the little wheel
50:13
for cutting it actually comes in a kit you get a wheel for cutting the adhesive
50:17
strips and then you get new adhesive strips to put it back together and it
50:20
looks just like Factory news so we love
50:23
iFixit Tools around here at Linus Tech tips and and uh we definitely recommend
50:28
picking one up if you haven't already speaking of picking things up if
50:33
you haven't already let's go ahead and drop this link in the twitch chat boom
50:38
Boeing patents laser powered Fusion fish
50:43
jet engines yes that is as complicated as it sounds so naturally the original
50:48
Source here for the article is ours Technica these guys do such a great job
50:53
of the highly technical topics because I'm going confess to you guys I am not
50:59
some kind of you know physicist here and
51:02
I am not going to be able to explain to you exactly how the crap this works but
51:07
essentially there you go that is a diagram of the patent now to be clear we
51:12
are nowhere near fishing being useful for like you know pushing planes around
51:18
yet but they're patenting the concept once the technology advances to the
51:23
point where they could build something like this they're just sort of saying theoretically
51:27
like they could so basically the way
51:30
that it works is they are going to shoot
51:33
lasers at dyum and tridium so this heavy
51:36
hydrogen inside the engine causing the atoms to fuse
51:42
okay so then gas from the fusion
51:45
reaction would then be pushed out the back of the engine creating thrust
51:50
leftover neutrons from the fusion bombard the inside of the engine which
51:55
is co with fishable uranium generating
51:59
heat which Powers the lasers helping it
52:03
sustain itself as it goes so Fusion remember guys is combining atoms fishing
52:09
is breaking them apart so fishing is the one that we've harnessed at this point
52:14
with Fusion being the one that we still have a long way to go at I might have
52:17
actually screwed that up a moment ago but the point is lasers and nuclear
52:23
reactions tearing apart and combining atoms wow those should be some pretty
52:28
badass uh badass jet
52:32
engines all right what else do we got
52:35
here today T-Mobile has a new family plan this is a pretty quick topic not a
52:39
whole lot to really say about it other than that T-Mobile continues to uh put
52:45
the thumb screws on the other mobile carriers there oh whoops I'm looking at
52:49
the wrong dang
52:52
it wait there should be yep ah let's go
52:55
with Android a thr today so their plan is 10 gab per line which is pretty
53:03
fantastic when you compare it to what the others are offering and uh it's 120
53:09
bucks for four lines and it's pretty much unlimited everything so it includes
53:13
10 gigs of 4G LTE data now you can say
53:17
whatever you want about T-Mobile's coverage and my firsthand experience
53:21
with T-Mobile's Network compared to AT&T has not been very favorable with that
53:27
said every time we go down to the us we all refill our T-Mobile pay as you go
53:32
Sims because for three bucks a day or whatever for LTE I think up to a 100
53:37
Megs of LTE data per day as far as pay you go plans go it is pretty freaking
53:43
fantastic especially compared to what we can get in Canada uh so let me just have
53:48
a look at what else is include here 10 gigs per line no sharing and you can get
53:53
20 gigs for an extra $10 per month
53:56
pretty
54:00
awesome all right what do we got next here ah yes Microsoft CEO clarifies
54:07
their mobile and Windows 10 strategy so
54:11
oops original article here guys I'm going to pop that in the twitch chat
54:15
boom here we go and news
54:19
items all right so talks about is thinking around product differentiation
54:23
and being ahead of the curve in this Q&A you know
54:26
this is the first
54:30
time wow this is the first time since
54:33
Windows C just to kind of put it in perspective
54:38
that I've had some kind of hope that
54:42
Microsoft knows what they're doing and could legitimately be a major player in
54:48
the in in the in the Windows mobile so
54:51
like Windows phones and and Windows mobile based tablets or whatever else
54:55
whatever other products roll out especially phones this is the first time
54:59
that we've seen so many dramatic changes
55:02
for the better at Microsoft like looking at how much feedback they're taking on
55:06
Windows 10 you know seeing people posting stories about how they submitted
55:10
a bug report or a feature request and it showed up in the next build I mean that
55:14
kind of crap is amazing that kind of a transparent process is amazing and so
55:20
this is the first time in a long time that I've looked at Windows phone and
55:24
gone maybe there's hope for this because
55:27
there's a lot about Windows phone that's good I know that I've crapped on it a
55:30
lot in the past and I have good reason to crap on it because let's face it if
55:36
you want to win me as a customer it's ecosystem why is Apple so successful at
55:43
charging so much for their phones ecosystem how do they get away like you
55:48
look at the way they backpedal on the iPhone 5c they even dabbled in okay
55:53
let's try having like a cheap option and got the crap out of there because they
55:57
realized they were doing themselves no favors with a plastic cheaper phone no
56:03
favors at all because their customers they didn't even want them anyway they
56:07
wanted to be part of that premium ecosystem and so you have to sell me an
56:12
ecosystem and if I buy a new phone today
56:15
I expect to have a a Sonos app or I
56:18
expect my you know Spotify or Google play music or whatever account to be
56:23
able to beam to my wireless speakers in my house like I expect all my crap to
56:27
work I don't want to be fighting with third-party apps that get broken with
56:32
every other update of the OS or or new hardware from the hardware manufacturer
56:37
whatever the case may be but there are a lot of good things
56:42
about Windows phone it's really responsive it runs great on low-end
56:46
Hardware I mean seeing the way that Android can bog down even something as
56:51
high-end as an S6 active or something as
56:54
high-end as a droid turbo is so
56:57
disheartening I mean we're talking devices three we've got ones coming with
57:00
four gigs of RAM on them and it still can't handle this stuff okay so I I
57:06
would be really excited to see Microsoft not leave the mobile market and that has
57:10
been clarified they are not leaving the mobile market you the surface is a
57:15
product to show what the platform can do and the reason people should make
57:18
Universal apps is that they will be on Windows desktop uh Hollow lens is
57:22
apparently also made to be used in business not just gaming so these are a
57:26
couple of sort of pressing concerns no they're not leaving mobile which is
57:30
pretty freaking Smurf um it's a little disappointing that Windows RT isn't
57:35
going to be getting an update to Windows 10 uh you know I'm sure that as
57:40
disappointed as yeah if people who bought surface RTS um weren't already
57:46
you know buried in disappoint that's just kind of the the final nail in the
57:51
coffin but um
57:54
yeah bummer I guess there's nothing we can really do about it now so let's go
57:59
ahead and pop up our next topic here
58:02
Bippity boity woman changes her
58:06
name to get control of Facebook account
58:10
so the original article here is from independent.co.uk oh wow sorry I had my
58:15
I had my sidebar running that whole time there sorry guys so a London woman has
58:20
to change name by deed Poole to log to
58:24
Facebook I can't believe believe I'm stuck with this stupid name and still
58:29
can't get into my Facebook freaking
58:32
hilarious so a little bit of background here so set up account with a fake name
58:37
back in 2008 I mean I've struggled with
58:41
this kind of stuff in the past before too like the way that um you know Google
58:45
locks down your YouTube username and your Google+ username to the point where
58:49
it's like why why can't I change my YouTube username what if I go from you
58:54
know being a tech Channel and I have like Tech chips what if I want to start
58:58
vlogging like is that is that not a thing that I'm allowed to do I'm not
59:02
going to start vlogging anytime soon but but the way that we get like these
59:06
arbitrary decisions that never used to matter like you used to just go oh yeah
59:10
I'll create a new Hotmail account for you know whatever flavor of the month
59:13
stupid moooo theow at hotmail.com or or or whatever right like you didn't really
59:18
think about it all of a sudden these things are catching up to us you know
59:22
seven years later so the Facebook terms of service requires to use a real name
59:26
so to be able to regain access to her locked account she changed her name on
59:32
credit cards that was not enough so she
59:35
officially changed her name via deed Poole to regain access to her account
59:41
absolutely redonkulous and speaking of
59:44
redonkulous I guess this will actually be the uh official statement this will
59:50
actually be the last article for the day
59:53
and this news item comes right off off of thermal take.com I think you guys
59:59
probably already know what I'm referring to what I'm referring if you've been
60:04
following the whole thermal fake Fiasco
60:07
that went on around the computex time frame with case Labs calling out thermal
60:13
as ripping off their design so this is a press release from yesterday case Labs
60:18
since right on the thermal website boy are they proud of this cuz they said
60:22
almost nothing like mum was the freaking
60:25
word when this whole thing was going down Cas Labs apologizes for accusations
60:30
against thermal take so case Labs has
60:34
issued a letter of retraction and apology for its recent attacks upon
60:39
competitor thermal another manufacturer of computer cases and other computer
60:44
components uh recently some of their personnel including blah blah blah blah
60:48
blah posted attacks upon thermal take these attacks have included accusations
60:52
that thermal and one of its employees Shannon Rob which is a real bummer I
60:57
like Shannon he's a nice guy stole Cas lab's design and engaged in unfair
61:02
competition case Labs now regrets those statements and apologizes for making
61:07
them wow how much more like how much
61:11
deeper could the Bad Blood Run between
61:14
case Labs and thermal take I'm guessing
61:17
lawyers were involved in this whole process and I'm guessing that um Cas
61:23
Labs with gritted teeth is issued this particular apology because they
61:28
certainly weren't happy about the whole
61:32
um you know thermal takes designs looking admittedly very very similar to
61:38
some of CAS lab's designs but we've covered this on the wow before the cold
61:42
hard truth of the matter is that there really isn't a whole lot that
61:48
you can protect about the IP of something like a computer case you know
61:53
like you look at uh anti recent what what are they calling that signature S10
61:59
is that what it's called yeah you look at the signature S10 which I actually saw for the first time in person today
62:04
you know you can't you can't you can't patent you know crazy thick aluminum
62:09
panels if someone else decides that that's a good idea which they probably
62:13
won't um they might they can manufacture a case like that and there's not really
62:17
a whole lot you can do I think Josh from fractal put it best there's only so many
62:21
ways you can build a black box and you know have it not look you know the same
62:26
as other blackboxes so I'm actually for
62:29
the first time in a very long time completely out of topics for today why
62:36
don't we do a Twitter Blitz yeah yeah
62:39
let's do it 10-minute Twitter Blitz over
62:43
7,200 live viewers on the W show for
62:48
this special edition broadcasting to you live from the NC studio so Twitter Blitz
62:55
time here here we go mentions wow not Tech related are you a
63:01
fan of Game of Thrones that is a great
63:04
question I read the first book and I
63:08
loved it I finished it after having
63:12
bought the Kindle editions of the first five and realized after finishing it
63:17
that George RR Martin hadn't written the last couple of books yet I got super
63:22
pissed off because I like to binge consume things which um is just it's my
63:28
way I like to binge and I vowed to not
63:32
glance at the rest of those books that I have already paid for and will read at
63:36
some point I refuse to glance at them until I have read them all or he dies
63:41
and I've read as many as exist and I refuse to watch the show until I have
63:46
read all the books so I absolutely love Game of Thrones but I'm mostly
63:50
completely ignorant about it so there you go funny question ask funny question
63:56
get a funny answer uh next car you plan on buying after the Civic kicks the
64:00
bucket actually I just bought a car it's
64:04
uh it's sitting out in the back I bought my parents old Suzuki XL7 because I
64:08
needed something that could pull a trailer and they were selling it for
64:12
$4,000 it's like I want to say it's a
64:18
29 with 180,000 km on it that's in like
64:22
I know it's all highway kilometers cuz I know that they basically just drive up
64:26
and down from the cabin in it so I needed something that could haul a trailer so I will uh I will be I will be
64:32
trying to sell the Civic to edil or something because he just got his
64:36
driver's license so I don't know if I was supposed to break the news edil
64:40
finally has a driver's license I think a big part of it was that our new office
64:44
is not very accessible via transit so
64:47
taran's solution was to move in and this is this is this is horrible so taran's
64:52
solution was to move into a new place really close to the new office but not
64:57
that close to the old office and then the construction project got delayed by
65:01
like 3 months so he's been riding his bike 45 minutes each way for like months
65:07
thinking that we were moving in in like a month um so edzel has gone ahead and
65:12
bought a car um okay next question over 7,000
65:18
viewers wo yeah that's not really a question uh watching The W show also not
65:23
a question but thank you for the shout out J D Tom Hutchinson Hutchinson
65:28
Hutcherson a peppermint scented butthole is the kind of butthole I want yes it
65:34
is um my question is why is your
65:37
background that color because I am in a strange and foreign
65:43
land all right why is getting a shirt
65:46
from Canada so much more expensive than normal already have three of your shirts
65:51
because Canada is Canada and shipping is
65:55
really expensive expensive we're used to being bent over on shipping whether we
65:58
have to ship something somewhere else or whether we have to pay for shipping for
66:01
someone else to send it to us unless it's coming from like Hong Kong where
66:05
the government is subsidizing shipping it costs a lot of money to ship into or
66:11
out of Canada uh Cooper asks how did you get into it uh reading forums and
66:15
participating on forums believe it or not Daniel asks how's it going pretty
66:20
darn good Daniel pretty darn good Brienne asks when are you making more
66:24
cat videos I actually don't have any cat videos on the plan my cats the second I
66:30
turn on the camera they're like my kids they'll be doing something like super
66:33
cute and funny and then I'll be like okay please keep doing that and it's
66:37
like the second I pull out the camera they stop so it's just like you know what screw you cat you don't get to be
66:42
internet famous yeah yeah you miss your shot You Had Your Shot and you lose
66:49
yourself in the mo moment the moment you lose it you want it you better never let
66:53
that go yeah that's what I said all right AJ says I have a business offer
66:58
for you will you pay for the transport uh I have no idea what you're
67:02
talking about man uh here's a question from my engineering teacher isn't VR
67:06
headsets making people feel nauseated a good thing as in is it immersive no
67:12
that's a terrible terrible thing because
67:16
nausea is not reality so virtual
67:21
reality shouldn't be nauseating I hope
67:24
that explained it any more build logs in the pipeline yes I actually have some
67:29
pretty cool stuff planned so I'm going to be building a rig on the bottom of a
67:33
desk I have ordered all of the mounting hardware that I need for that it's going
67:36
to be a pretty sick desk from up desk so
67:39
um yeah stay tuned for that one I also
67:42
heard from a little birdie that I'm going to be getting one of the first in
67:48
existence um oh crap I'm going to
67:52
embarrass myself here I only remember it
67:56
as the murder box MK2 ex Forma MK2 I
67:59
will be doing a build log or a build guide in that so stay tuned for that yes
68:05
things are happening oh whoops I'm in all the you guys saw me have to Google
68:09
that oh dang it there I thought I was buying myself time to give the answer
68:14
and you guys were watching me buy time uh Keith asks why not sell the Civic to
68:18
Taran because I don't believe s uh Taran
68:21
would be willing to drive any car other than a Toyota Camry his father had a
68:26
Camry and it served his father well therefore Taran wants a Camry that my
68:30
friends is Teran logic this is what we have to work with
68:34
around here what do you think about apus for
68:37
Budget gaming PCs I think it's a really good thing although I think AMD is only
68:41
got a generation or two left before Intel completely surpasses them at all
68:45
budgets uh their latest onboard Graphics are looking really
68:49
good Z biggie says you should be sponsored by Dollar beard club uh you
68:54
know I really don't know I really don't know how that would go because dollar
68:58
beard Club has no affiliation to my knowledge with Dollar Shave Club and
69:04
they kind of like I like you can't patent like a stick but like dollar
69:10
beard Club kind of ripped off Dollar Shave clubs stick and like I I don't
69:16
know it seems kind of weird to me uh the Divine gamer asked for tips on an IT
69:21
career similar to mine what it career is similar to mine
69:26
who does this job I'm not even sure I have an IT job like the way that I see
69:32
my job is like it's like I I'm I'm an
69:36
Entertainer I'm an educator I'm a I'm a
69:40
I'm I'm a business owner now we have nine people working at lonus Media Group
69:46
like my job is and sometimes like I really am itting it up all day like this
69:52
week I've gotten very little video stuff done because I've been busy working on
69:56
our new workflow for video editing which is only sort of it stuff that's like
70:00
content creation stuff um and and so
70:03
I've been setting up virtual machines on the on the 36 core server seeing if
70:08
running multiple instances of Adobe Media encoder with multiple watch
70:11
folders can give us better efficiency than sorin and squeeze server and like
70:15
trying all this different stuff so like I do that stuff still sometimes but
70:20
like I don't even know what my job is half the time I I wear a lot of
70:24
different hats I don't really have a favorite Apu yes we are moving all of
70:28
our workstations to Windows 10 as soon as we verified that adobe um Creative
70:33
Cloud is going to run okay on Windows 10 I'm really excited for the whole fresh
70:38
slate thing that's going to be going on at the new office New organizational
70:42
cabinets for all of our gear you know new well-designed sets instead of just a
70:48
pile of boxes behind me you know uh upgrading the workstations to Titan X's
70:53
that's going to be awesome the new workflow with offloading footage having
70:57
it duplicated having it replicated right when we offload so we don't have to
71:00
leave stuff on SD cards and then not know whether it's safe to erase an SD
71:04
card like all of these things fresh
71:07
Windows is going to be part of the fresh experience I'm really excited the and
71:13
the new yeah the new plate system I actually just moved my personal
71:16
workstation to Windows 10 as part of a personal rig update that's going to be
71:20
coming on vessel this weekend so I installed the RTM and then I'm going to
71:24
uh I just skipped the product key entry so I'm just going to buy myself a
71:28
product key as soon as um as soon as you
71:31
can go buy one uh moveing date for the new office Tom uh not 100% sure yet
71:38
favorite food wow good question um
71:42
really love my wife's pasta yeah there we go where am I hiding
71:48
Luke h no I couldn't hide Luke well I
71:52
could hide parts of Luke if you know what I mean but uh his whole self is uh
71:56
up at a music festival hold on a second
72:00
oh we just revealed something I'm sure
72:03
so there you go that I just revealed oh no I didn't I didn't reveal I didn't
72:08
reveal anything with that calendar popup
72:11
that's funny ha so you can see that
72:16
there's a super fun if you look really closely over there but you actually
72:20
can't tell what it is which is good because I don't want to reveal what that
72:24
super fun is going to be because it's going to be super crazy fun um so let's
72:28
do let's go back to Twitter here what is your favorite console the Super Nintendo
72:33
because it has the greatest game of all time Final Fantasy
72:36
6 um would you say the Droid Turbo is
72:40
still worth it the camera is subpar especially the launch time and the
72:44
shutter speed that's a big problem I have with the Droid Turbo it did finally
72:47
get a lollipop update but that really doesn't bode well the fact that it took
72:51
so long to get 5.1 really doesn't bode
72:54
well for future updates
72:57
um I still love it for the battery life and I do like the ergonomics better than
73:02
the S6 active stay tuned for my S6 active review because I will definitely
73:06
be talking about S6 active versus Droid Turbo because they they're really going
73:10
to be trading blows in a lot of different ways I think that's pretty much it for
73:15
the show today guys actually I think we're g to go ahead and
73:18
uh just uh end wow 7,300 viewers I
73:24
should broadcast without Luke more often
73:27
don't tell him I said that he'll be all upset and uh you
73:36
know I really don't
73:39
understand what this plan was
73:46
exactly I guess the NCIX guys wanted me
73:49
to disappear in a puff of smoke or look
73:53
like I started a lot and it was
73:58
cloudy or like well the fans are on for
74:01
one thing so that's dispersing your smoke machine smoke pretty quickly I
74:06
think um so now they're firing the smoke
74:09
machine directly at my butthole which I guess they're hoping will result
74:14
in I I okay so our sponsors today were
74:19
people who I'm going to just roll the outro
74:41
oh yeah spor Dollar Shave Club I fix it thank you for watching guys and I'll see
74:46
you next week same bat Time same bat
74:49
channel uh yeah I have the outro over the thing Jack tried to poke his head
74:53
into a view and it didn't work
