0:00 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
