heroes in the thing oh yeah we should talk about youtube heroes
0:05
hey guys i don't know what the next one is
0:08
oh no no i'm done filming now no no no
0:12
good try go try it i'm done filming uh i hope i hope everything's working
0:16
everything's working right welcome to the lance show
0:20
oh man it has been an intense week
0:25
between me and luke we scripted 11
0:31
no 12 12 videos this week okay you did a lot then
0:36
uh holy crap what the hell
0:40
uh because i did four yeah okay
0:45
i have been i appreciate that you bundled me in that fully but just to add
0:48
some context i'm trying to i'm trying to make sure four is a lot just so people
0:53
like understand four is like four is okay so we do WAN Show every week that's
0:58
one of our seven weekly LTT uploads yeah um so if each luke and i do three then
1:04
that covers everything we need to do for the week yeah because that's our six
1:08
uploads so if we produce 12
1:12
in a week then what that means is that in the event that Linus's wife
1:18
who was induced this morning
1:21
gives birth in the next 18 or so hours
1:25
like she did last time she was induced what's happened just like how it's
1:29
supposed to work then we will have a full additional week
1:33
based on what we produced this week a full additional week of content that
1:38
will allow Linus to spend some time with his brand new baby yeah that
1:43
that is uh and then if i keep we're at
1:46
four a week then we'll only rot at two videos a week
1:51
as time goes on yes which is not that bad so maybe so maybe i will be able to
1:55
take some time it's really funny like i never actually take
2:00
my kind of vacation time like since i started working at ncix i
2:05
think i've taken one time off that i would actually consider to be a vacation
2:10
and it was like it was like early on in the days when basically i like got home
2:14
and i was living with my girlfriend's parents and we would like get home and
2:17
play team fortress 2 like my life really wasn't that hard anyway yeah yeah um but
2:23
since then it's always been like some trip from hell to asia
2:28
with two infants or like uh when i've had a child
2:33
so i i think i took about seven work days off when i had my daughter
2:38
um but this time the plan is and this has actually been kind of incredible
2:42
like our team is now 15 strong as of the new
2:46
salesperson that we've added who starts not monday but the following monday okay
2:52
now 15 strong and the team is now structured such that i'm hoping to take
2:58
two to three weeks off to enjoy with my new child to be fair out of all of those
3:02
new hires from three people to 15 people
3:06
you haven't added anyone that's going to help with what you do
3:12
the core on LTT no yeah on super fun and
3:16
on techwiki i have okay but super fun used to be a much smaller commit yes and
3:21
but technically yeah was a lot of work for me yeah yeah although we didn't do
3:25
three to four tech quickies a week the way that we do now and they were
3:29
yeah the original one oh okay the
3:32
original original ones i think they were just a little low
3:36
hanging i don't think they're necessarily bad they were just very low hanging they were very low hanging they
3:40
were low hanging like the balls of a potent stallion actually no
3:44
stallion balls are actually kind of tight to the body
3:47
so i like what has good thing what has low hanging balls
3:51
i'm sure twitch chat knows twitch chat can please please let us
3:55
know twitch what are we even do do we have topics preferably no longer low
4:00
hanging balls i can i can get us some topics here uh there's one
4:04
okay for topics today yahoo confirms
4:09
a 500 million account breach
4:12
for people who will never even know that this breach occurred because let's face
4:16
it they are not that twitch twitch savvy internet savvy yeah they have yahoo
4:21
accounts yeah moving on total biscuits tumor is down 50 in size
4:28
that is excellent news that is so good is it it's okay i know because of like a
4:33
new treatment and stuff and that's after a very small amount of sessions i know
4:37
that inoperable means that it cannot be
4:40
operated but is it operable if it can be operated on
4:46
i would assume so i don't know but english is stupid and
4:51
medical stuff gets crazy so you've got that combination i don't know
4:54
okay i mean flammable and inflammable same thing
4:58
so like rip english yeah uh what else we got palmer lucky is
5:03
financing trump memes so well they're more like anti-hillary
5:08
memes well we'll get into it sure yeah yeah and apple patents a paper bag
5:15
so yep maybe you can store your is it a
5:20
lunch bag is it because it could have an apple in it oh
5:25
that's not even funny that's not even like an aw damn
5:28
that's just stupid that's okay i really appreciate you like
5:32
no worries
5:43
sorry
6:04
videos week normally i would have to put those
6:07
little graphics in there which is why a lot of the time it wasn't done
6:15
so that's a thing okay
6:19
well it's done now so good job Colton
6:22
so yahoo has confirmed 500 million accounts breached we have uh article
6:28
from i believe the one tell me to post that in twitter journal i got it already
6:31
here i'll share luke screen boom there you go
6:36
oh twitch section twitch section there we go
6:40
so yeah at least 500 million user accounts um they're probably taking a
6:45
little bit away from that for like people that haven't actually accessed
6:48
their yahoo account for the last six years i think 500 million accounts
6:53
i mean is that not like is that the entire population of north america
6:58
more than that canada has like 35 million the states
7:01
has like 335 million or so like 330 340. i don't
7:06
know how many people live in mexico but like it can't be that many
7:10
like holy crap yeah is this is this the biggest account ever
7:16
potentially yeah yeah i guess because we don't fully know
7:20
how every single one of them has gone then we don't technically know if it is
7:24
the biggest but it is potentially the biggest
7:27
i mean do 500 million people have yahoo accounts how many of them are dead like
7:30
how many of them have passed away but yeah like actually people who have
7:34
passed away a lot of these are probably people who like oh when i was 10 i made
7:39
an email account called like sephiroth xxx 69 boy
7:44
and now i have replaced that with my real name and then at yahoo like there's
7:48
probably a lot of those going on frighteningly enough sephiroth porn is
7:52
probably a thing i just i remember like when i was
7:56
younger and into video games it seems like every second dude that i ran past was like xxx sephiroth xxx it's just
8:02
like the the big and the small yeah yeah the big x's in the middle yeah i
8:06
know you know what was your like i'm a little kid email okay i'm gonna do
8:10
Yvonne's first okay so Yvonne's was
8:14
sweetheart09 oh man at hotmail.com oh
8:17
man with underscore sweet underscore heart underscore zero nine and her
8:21
display name always had like those things with the assassins
8:28
it's amazing that i ever fell in love with her because that's terrible
8:33
um with that said um
8:36
my cringe like first email address is
8:40
muumuu underscore the underscore cow at hotmail.com
8:45
yeah someone actually acquired it from me like really later on down the line
8:49
like it went inactive and like someone got it otherwise
8:52
i would have kept it i totally would have kept that you know quite frankly my
8:56
new one is not that much better but it's
8:59
funnier if you like get the joke yeah um i mean i don't even care i don't even
9:04
monitor anymore i just keep it more out of sentimental value than anything else
9:07
so i'll tell you guys what it is but it's the underscore peanuts underscore gallery
9:12
it's just so long hotmail.com it's really long it's hard to type but what's
9:16
funny about it and the thing okay this is important to me both of my email
9:20
addresses were unique they did not have numbers at the end of them because
9:23
especially 10 years ago there was really no excuse for that come up with
9:27
something original don't be sephiroth no
9:31
69696969 because all the other six nines were taken okay um so they were both
9:37
unique and the peanuts gallery is actually pretty funny because
9:42
you know my personality of being loud and outspoken and sometimes wrong
9:46
is uh is is directly sort of like it is
9:50
kind of similar to what we what you would expect from the peanut gallery who
9:54
i i forgive me if i have the origin of the
9:58
term wrong but it dates back to i think shakespearean times when the peanut
10:02
gallery was the standing audience in the theater the the poor people who like
10:08
left a lot of peanuts um peanut remains left on the floor so
10:12
like they were kind of like and they would like they would yell during the show they were uncouth um so so i called
10:19
myself the peanut gallery and then i'm the peanuts gallery because my name is
10:24
one of the characters in the comic strip penis by charles schultz Linus so i was
10:28
like ha ha i am so clever this is unique no one else would ever want this email
10:34
also because it's so damn long yeah okay so what's your cringe email uh
10:38
pretty bad i technically didn't make it but i was totally down with it and used
10:43
it uh ladiesboy54
10:47
54 was my 80s boy i didn't want to use man because i was
10:52
too young i didn't self-identify as a man at that
10:56
point in time i self-identified as a boy oh i'm so triggered right now so it was
11:00
yeah ladies but apparently i was into older women because i used ladies
11:04
instead of girls uh well girl's boy 54 just doesn't
11:08
really even mean anything sounds a little weird yeah yeah so it was it was
11:12
lady yeah ladies boy 54.80 at hotmail.com yeah that was uh i i
11:16
actually tried to get it back i remember when i finally abandoned it i just made
11:19
its password something crazy so no one would ever get into it and then now it's just gone i tried to like get it back
11:24
the other day and like see what i used to do i don't even remember
11:28
what brought this on anyway i'm i'm definitely curious what ladies boy 54.
11:33
like why were you trying to get it the other day no not the other day oh like
11:36
like quite some time i don't remember when but like i went back to try to like
11:39
oh can i get my old email back all the older women in the audience are
11:43
freaking out by the way because they're like they have a chance
11:47
now oh all the older women like my mom
11:52
she could be freaking out right now probably because she's embarrassed um
11:56
but yeah there's there's probably an extreme lack of that currently watching
12:01
yeah but yeah that was uh that was my old
12:05
email oh that's funny hooray have we even covered a topic yet oh yeah the
12:09
yahoo thing oh that's excellent okay good um
12:12
so i don't know we haven't actually really talked about any of the details
12:16
of the breach so i guess
12:19
oh the reason my laptop is running so poorly is that heaven still thought it
12:24
was like running on an external monitor or something oh oh that's
12:28
that's very inconvenient guy who believes that the hackers are no longer
12:32
in its corporate network that's probably good um the company said that it didn't
12:37
believe that unprotected passwords payment card data or bank account
12:42
information had been affected um
12:46
okay do they say what was affected
12:49
yeah i'm trying to figure that blah blah blah investigating claims blah blah blah
12:52
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah it's unlikely to affect the terms of the
12:56
verizon deal so that's good even though
13:00
they said that they weren't aware of any security
13:04
breaches on september 9th the intrusion happened in late 2014.
13:09
so by now like oh man
13:13
wow basically they didn't even really start
13:17
investigating until july when yahoo was started looking into claims by hackers
13:22
who were offering to sell 280 million yahoo usernames and passwords
13:29
they said that the information for sale wasn't legit though and eventually
13:33
determined that they had been breached by a state-sponsored actor
13:37
so we'll we'll kind of stay tuned i guess and see how many of
13:41
our grandparents should probably change their yahoo account passwords and my
13:45
girlfriend stop using that email she uses yeah yeah
13:50
why you know like i i like subtly roasted
13:53
her for this like a like while ago on the WAN Show
13:56
but now like come on my aunt who has been retired for the
14:01
last five years uses hotmail at least hotmail's even better though i know yeah
14:06
like you're you're on the outlook platform and stuff now like that's fine it's just an uh
14:10
it's just an older name yeah
14:14
ah man it's garbage that's disappointing
14:17
all right researchers lead the way
14:21
towards a method of unhackable internet
14:24
communication okay gray nuts oh
14:29
oh yeah no okay so i see where this is going so quantum state
14:34
kind of internet networking stuff is iffy because if you try to intercept it
14:39
uh before it gets to its destination the data inside will change so
14:45
it could be hacked sort of but they won't get what
14:50
you were trying to send if that makes sense and there would
14:54
still be means of part of the problem is that the the use of the word
14:59
hack has become so perverted from the from the actual
15:06
definition that because like a very effective attack in
15:11
this scenario could be to hit everything and make it
15:14
so that each side can't communicate with each other properly because everything
15:17
that's going in each direction is scrambled yes or another
15:21
hack could be as simple as installing screen recording software on
15:27
someone else on someone's computer and intercepting the data that way you don't
15:31
have to you know be all like csi
15:36
like intercepting transmission re-transmitting
15:45
it's upside down now yeah way to go if you didn't get that way to go i tried i
15:49
can't see it because that's not the only means of hacking and lots of forms of
15:54
hacking including social engineering hacks will very much still exist and
15:59
this will do absolutely nothing to
16:04
at all helpful social engineering is not hacking yeah it constantly gets used in
16:09
that way we call it that like you know oh Linus's twitter got hacked
16:13
no no in the purest sense of the word Linus's
16:17
twitter account was compromised yep but it was not hacked
16:22
because calling it a hack would be giving the folks involved in that far
16:27
too much credit credit yeah
16:31
all right so anyway um basically it's a group from the university of calgary
16:35
that teleported the quantum state of a photon to a location 6.2 kilometers away
16:40
using fiber optic cable researchers in shanghai sent states of
16:45
photons 14.7 kilometers across that city
16:48
so they believe that widespread adoption of quantum teleportation technology
16:52
could usher in a new era of unhackable internet communication
16:56
the first step though is figuring out how to send that quantum information
17:00
over the vast distances we're talking not a few kilometers
17:04
of fiber optic networks that span the entire globe although like internal land
17:10
connections at extremely secure facilities using this could be pretty
17:13
cool that would be pretty cool yeah um
17:19
basically i mean
17:23
hmm so okay so most of it is kind of what we
17:27
covered earlier yeah the rest of it is like pretty techy speak but pretty much
17:31
pairs of particles are linked together through unique properties or states
17:34
and then that means that only the two parties who have the entangled particles
17:39
can read the information sent between them which is pretty cool hackers trying
17:43
to eavesdrop would introduce detectable anomalies and the two parties could
17:46
abort their communication so this is the kind of thing that i see
17:50
being more like a military thing
17:53
within any kind of like reasonable period of time reasonable period and
17:58
i i don't know if it would ever make its way to like your wi-fi router for a
18:03
number of reasons um so don't just consider like oh rob these guys are
18:08
saying that technology isn't going to advance like that's not necessarily what
18:11
we're saying there could even be legal reasons the government likes to have
18:15
ways to sniff on your stuff so they literally might not make this
18:20
possible for you they can sniff my stuff anytime they want it won't smell good
18:23
but that's their problem it might smell good we just get a shower it's all right
18:27
all right this is freaking hilarious um
18:32
so incredibly not surprised haven't we been saying this for so long
18:36
i i actually it's you know what it's not something that we've like ranted on but
18:42
it's definitely something that we have talked about internally a lot yeah turns
18:47
out facebook was inflating their video
18:51
view stats for two years
18:55
miscalculation uh likely led to an overestimated viewing time of 60 to 80
19:01
percent oh my god
19:07
that's insane
19:10
this was according to a letter sent to an ad buying agency that was reviewed by
19:15
the wall street journal so basically
19:19
facebook has been trumpeting that they are the the next
19:24
destination for online video that they get x number of
19:30
views like you look at any video on facebook it has a view counter under it
19:33
and they've been saying that yeah so they've been saying that they are like
19:36
like you know closing in on youtube for the most
19:41
viewed online video platform and nibbly blobbity blub but the truth of the
19:46
matter is that the way that they're counting
19:50
is ridiculous i mean they auto play the video
19:56
as you scroll through and i can't remember actually nick light is the
19:59
expert on this stuff i kind of wish he would come down and take my spot here
20:03
because he'd be able to say a lot more about it than i would but i think that
20:06
facebook so so youtube counts a view after i think it's something to the tune
20:11
of 15 to 30 seconds facebook is almost immediate facebook's is like two seconds
20:16
so youtube is kind of looking at it where they've had a lot of data over the
20:19
years finding out uh how long it takes to capture a viewer
20:24
and if you watch for under that amount of time it considers that you didn't
20:29
capture the viewer yes so that's not a view and it doesn't count it yeah if you
20:32
watch for a significant enough time so you're past the average
20:37
time that people would bail if they're not that interested then it counts as if
20:40
go ahead you got my chair i was literally i literally just finished a meeting and turned on the lan show and
20:44
Linus looked i wish nick would come downstairs and take my chair
20:48
okay sure so anyway what do i need to talk about uh facebook
20:53
views compared to youtube views how they're calculated
20:58
it's funny because i've been saying this forever no i know yeah like because you
21:04
you have it standard that adds or that videos autoplay
21:07
make people disable it so grandma watches every single video that's on her
21:11
timeline watches um because technically i'm not
21:15
exactly sure how facebook counts a view
21:18
i know on youtube it's something to the tune of a number of seconds i don't know
21:22
what the number of seconds is but if facebook is saying that one
21:27
second is one view and they're auto playing on
21:32
pretty much anyone who's not slightly tech savvy's timelines
21:36
then that's a lot of views that are not actually views
21:41
so anyway it's just like it's something that i've been talking
21:44
about internally here for a long time um
21:48
that i was speculating essentially that facebook may have been over inflating
21:52
their view numbers and it appears that that may have in fact been allegedly
21:57
correct yeah by by the tune of 60 to 80 apparently
22:02
which is hilariously awesome because i i actually personally hate
22:06
facebook video and that's not just because like we're youtube people it
22:10
just sucks it's just like the amount of times that i'm like oh okay i actually
22:14
do want to watch this and then the player just like fails
22:18
it's like what oh and that's like
22:21
sorry is it 60 to 80 percent inflation
22:24
on view number or view through duration
22:28
do we know
22:32
estimated viewing time of 60 to 80 percent
22:37
like how and like that's the main metric that youtube is even going for right now
22:42
what's actually great about that is that that doesn't even address the ridiculous
22:48
view counts then yeah right so view counts could be 300 percent
22:54
higher yeah a thousand percent higher so like i was saying if they're counting
22:58
every single second if if every person who watches the video for one second
23:02
counts as a view
23:05
you could easily be looking at hundreds of percent inflation on view numbers so
23:10
this is all speculation and allegedly and
23:14
disclaimers i'm sure they're not going to exactly publish all this kind of stuff but this is how it feels like it
23:18
works from like affirmative the second i saw that they started to do autoplay i
23:23
was like oh they're trying to push up numbers yeah
23:26
that's the only reason yeah i mean i guess they could argue that
23:30
it's for convenience sake i would actually love it if facebook became more
23:34
of a legitimate video sharing platform it'd be great because we kind of need
23:39
something that properly competes with youtube we we tried doing it consistently for like
23:43
a while and we should still be doing it consistently
23:47
but um we're not always doing it consistently um
23:51
and that is a lot in many cases due to the fact that it's
23:55
so sporadic yeah like it's so dependent on
24:00
not only just keywords and and likes and all that like it is on youtube um
24:06
but it's so dependent on whether people are sharing it
24:10
because if you don't get a share it's like well this video got three hundred views
24:13
yeah and if you get a couple of you get a share and that person has 400 friends
24:17
and all their 400 friends scroll down their newsfeed then it's like oh wow there's 400 more views even though one
24:22
percent of those people were actually interested i think seven gamers has like
24:26
over a million views on facebook
24:29
because it got shared and some of our normal videos have like
24:33
a thousand so like
24:38
what am i supposed to do like anyway
24:42
oh man so i mean to be clear it's not like they're
24:46
getting busted on this and they were still trying to hide it they did come
24:50
clean i mean this came from a letter they sent to an ad buying agency
24:54
although i wonder if they're coming clean because they needed
24:58
some kind of reason for why advertising on facebook video performs so poorly
25:04
do you know what i mean maybe they're just proactively kind of
25:08
addressing it so that no one digs further and kind of goes
25:12
like if a million people watch this and like
25:15
one person orders the new dyson miracle vacuum or whatever like
25:20
really one out of a million like you know we run banner ads that are more
25:25
effective than that really oh that's a dig um
25:29
so anyway speaking of youtube though should we jump down to youtube heroes
25:33
let's definitely do youtube heroes you know what's so funny about the name of
25:38
this is that it's exactly like the condescending
25:46
derogatory term that someone would use
25:51
for people you're a hero who white knight around on the internet reporting
25:55
stuff youtube heroes it's like good job hero
26:00
you reported a video that had a bad word in it good for you now to be clear i do
26:07
think that the youtube heroes program uh
26:11
has the potential to offer a lot of benefit to the youtube
26:16
community at large and we'll go ahead and we'll fire up the the youtube heroes
26:21
page here so you guys can have a look at it it's a google support page here
26:25
but there is also like everything google does like how do
26:29
they not oh look they're in
26:32
they are the most this needs like this could be very cool if what happened was
26:37
when enough heroes flag something it gets manual actual person oversight
26:43
afterwards that's not going to happen but if that did happen that could be
26:47
actually kind of cool and i don't understand why google doesn't understand
26:50
this because they are the internet companyist
26:54
of internet companies like
26:58
okay no they do have a physical product okay
27:02
technically google glass is a physical product in chromecast and chromecast is
27:07
okay so they do have physical products audio but all of their physical products are
27:11
our internet okay our internet is that even i don't really
27:15
think so don't worry about
27:18
whatever okay
27:22
they're like they were like forged in the fires of mount internet okay
27:27
and they've got the internet ring okay
27:30
the bring ring bus token ring
27:33
i'm trying to bring this back not happening topology
27:38
what are we talking about ring topology okay basically there's no excuse for google
27:43
to implement things that appear to internet denizens like us
27:50
as though they've never seen the way online communities interact before yeah
27:55
so people will people will become heroes for the
28:00
sole purpose of trolling
28:03
the crap out of people h3h3 actually said it in a really interesting way if
28:08
you go to the youtube heroes video page and you see the ludicrous amount of
28:12
dislikes and then you look down a little bit further and you notice that youtube
28:17
has disabled comments on the video
28:20
uh ethan pointed out that if you're scared of those people those are very
28:25
directly the people that are going to enter this program and are going to
28:28
troll the crap out of you and everyone else on this platform
28:33
so we haven't actually explained what it is yet which we should probably do so
28:37
heroes level up like does this just feel
28:40
like an executive with gray hair like
28:44
was sitting in a boardroom the kids these days they like the video games and
28:48
there's the in the video games there's the hero right and you and the hero
28:52
levels up you get experience and then you you yeah you level up and then
28:55
becomes more powerful and gains abilities oh interesting yeah we should
29:00
gamify the most boring part of the entire platform moderating it yeah okay so
29:05
that's what it's for uh heroes also there are other bits and these bits are
29:10
cool if you subtitle things
29:14
you can get like points towards your hero thing and subtitling things is
29:17
awesome and i think there's something else i was going to go through the whole list okay
29:23
so here goes level up by doing what he said sharing their
29:27
knowledge effectively with other users on the youtube help forum is another big
29:31
one um by flagging inappropriate videos that's
29:36
where the problem lies and each type of contribution is worth a certain number
29:40
of points so accurate reports of videos that violate
29:43
community guidelines is one point contributing a subtitle edit that gets
29:48
published is another point answering a user question on the youtube help forum
29:53
with a comment selected as the best answer is 10
29:57
points so they don't have captions in there are they considering subtitles the same as
30:02
captions because those are actually adding captions and subtitles to videos
30:05
are both um and i know but then it says down below when it says actually earn points
30:10
it says contributing a subtitle edit that gets published equals one point
30:15
i'm pretty sure they mean captions and subtitles i think for the purposes of i
30:19
actually i think there is a subtle difference between them but i don't remember what it is i
30:24
think is that captions are native language and
30:29
subtitles can be either i think i'm not that sounds right to me that's what i
30:33
was going to say i think okay so maybe we're right and if we're not then twitch
30:37
chat will yell at us but i'm not looking at it right now so i don't care i'm gonna look i care about you all right so
30:42
it's currently in beta it's subject to change um effectively you can unlock
30:46
rewards which is kind of here let's go ahead and
30:50
unlock rewards so hero levels level one
30:54
become a hero zero to nine points you can access the heroes dashboard and join
30:58
the community a level two hero
31:02
learns at that exclusive workshops and can take part in hero hangouts like can
31:07
you imagine that would be even worse than being in like a student government
31:11
meeting closed captioning is like listening to a
31:14
video for the deaf in subtitles is just
31:19
yeah but effectively they're both texts at the bottom they
31:22
usually look different so sub closed captioning usually has a black
31:26
background and subtitles usually are like uh like a
31:29
um a black drop shadow on white text like it's sort of weird yeah it's it's just i
31:33
don't think that's enough of an answer but yeah but there you go can you
31:37
imagine like being in a hero hangout
31:40
like just i'm hanging out with all the people who moderate like i'm not saying that
31:44
inappropriate content on youtube is a good thing and i'm not saying like it doesn't need to be moderated and i'm not
31:49
i'm also not saying that in the very very long term with properly vetted
31:54
heroes this program has the potential to be better than an
31:59
automated system so i'm not saying any of those things i'm just saying that
32:02
there is so much room for human error
32:05
that didn't exist before and people who
32:08
sit around and moderate youtube videos might be nerds apparently people a few
32:12
people have actually said that we're right with subtitles and captions okay cool
32:16
uh level three you get access to super tools and this is where it gets scary
32:20
you only need a hundred points how
32:24
easily could you abuse the system to get a
32:27
hundred points on this an insane thing too is like if you think about it you
32:32
could have your friends not to fuel the fire more
32:35
you could have have your friends ask a question on the youtube ten questions
32:40
that's it you get 10 points and you can even make them look pretty legit as long
32:44
as the person just selects best answer and it looks pretty legit
32:48
10 points that's right and then you get to mass
32:53
flag abusive videos which is like
32:57
terrible so we've actually already had some flags come in yeah uh so i think uh
33:03
the issue that someone flagged us first completely irrelevant these come in
33:06
every once in a while and it's fine because youtube i believe has changed
33:10
the procedure on them i used to have to dispute them individually and my
33:15
inaction would lead to the video being pulled um but people have said that um you can
33:20
flag a video saying that it must have closed captioning
33:24
if it originally aired on tv in the united states
33:28
that's like a rule so people can flag it saying i think
33:32
this video must have closed captioning and it used to be that i would get my
33:35
monetization removed if nothing else on those videos if i didn't demonstrate
33:41
that my video was not a tv show at some point in time and i'm sitting here going
33:44
this is ridiculous so we i think we got hit with a mass flag of those already
33:49
okay i'm just kind of like okay that's fairly minor i guess
33:53
at level four you get to sneak preview product launches and contact youtube
33:57
staff directly which is amazing because it took me until a year and a half ago
34:02
to have direct contact with youtube staff that might be bad because it might
34:05
call the system uh and getting closer to youtube a thousand plus points means you
34:09
can test products before release and apply for the heroes summit which sounds
34:14
like the most boring possible place you
34:17
could ever go but you know what
34:21
power to you if you're into that sort of thing
34:25
i mean maybe they'll bring like like celebrity youtubers to the summit or
34:28
something so you could meet pewdiepie or whatever like i don't know
34:32
youtube has the kind of money that would allow them to i don't
34:35
like this though yeah i mean i know pewdiepie needs the
34:39
money the super he releases a lot of videos like trolling the crap out of
34:43
youtube because they keep doing stupid stuff
34:46
yeah fair enough so i mean basically it's
34:52
maybe eventually it's like so many you know what
34:55
okay it comes back to exactly the same conversation i was having about the way
35:00
that they were cracking down on non-advertiser-friendly content
35:05
right now it's terrible give it another couple of years and they'll probably
35:09
have worked out the kinks but that doesn't change the fact that this is
35:12
going to create a lot of unnecessary busy work for people who are just trying
35:16
to use the platform legitimately and
35:19
running around and pinning like you know
35:23
merit badges on people for reporting
35:26
stuff that you know might not technically be within the community
35:30
guidelines but like come on
35:34
just you know it's grow like the community guidelines are
35:38
you could pull down a lot of content on youtube based on the community
35:42
guidelines and it would in my opinion destroy a lot of you know the things
35:46
that people were whining about with the whole uh advertiser safe policies thing
35:50
like um like it could destroy a lot of the free
35:54
speech and openness of youtube to have people running around flagging anything
35:58
that offends them a lot of a lot of community guidelines
36:02
are in place so that if you go far enough
36:05
they can hit you with a book not necessarily so they can actually be
36:09
enforced 100 all the time for everyone yeah
36:13
so yeah this is great 53 nt 13 nt great username
36:20
uh says hall monitors yes
36:24
that is youtube has basically implemented a hall
36:28
monitor system which was always terrible which was always terrible
36:34
so sjw report system yeah like basically
36:37
that seems to be what we're looking at that sounds like the most boring summit
36:41
that anybody could be at what would be its purpose do you go around and meet
36:45
other people who like abusing moderation powers
36:51
i think in the right community getting like
36:55
we call them moderators actually like on our community forum but getting together
36:59
community leaders is what i would think of them as more like yeah and it could
37:02
be cool when you have that it's a contained community that's supposed to
37:06
generally be about one thing and you have a relatively small compared to the
37:10
entirety of youtube subset of users and there's essentially one category it is a
37:15
tech forum yes these guys are just like
37:18
go on youtube and look at whatever you want and click the buttons like uh i
37:23
don't know like if you don't understand the humor of a channel and they're doing like
37:28
satire or something that's a little bit edgy and then you decide to flag it
37:32
because you're like this is bad content you don't realize it's a joke
37:37
that could go bad and i am not just salty that i do not have any hall passes
37:41
okay and that i was not selected for student
37:45
body president okay
37:48
i wasn't ever student body president
37:51
i was only hillary was student body president and i never went and they got
37:55
really sad about it but i didn't actually apply they just put me on the student council so i was like i'm not
38:00
going and they're like you have to go i was like i'm not going there's no way i would
38:05
ever do this i wouldn't even want you on student council why
38:08
because rude you'd be all like you'd be all like we need more
38:12
more showers at the school we
38:17
nope we had enough there you got enough there we don't have enough here we should get showers here ah see
38:22
see exactly what i was afraid of let's do ad spots squarespace
38:28
you could make a website about a shower if you wanted if we did enough squarespace spots maybe we could afford
38:33
luke's shower that is why squarespace no
38:36
that is not why squarespace squarespace lets you build a beautiful website that
38:41
looks great at your computer on your phone or in the shower similar to how
38:46
you would look great on your phone you get out of the shower on the new iphone 7.
38:50
yeah that's water resistant thank you water i appreciate it see that see that
38:55
right there that's me listening to you buddy um they
38:59
offer 24 7 support via live chat and email it's only 12 bucks a month to
39:03
start and you get a free domain if you buy squarespace for the year
39:08
all their websites include a commerce module a free online store and cover
39:13
pages a feature that lets you set up a beautiful one-page online present in
39:18
just minutes maybe your page is like a
39:21
shower and as you scroll down you go further down the shower and the whole
39:25
time you're like oh my goodness there's gonna be a person and then you have an
39:29
iphone underwater that would actually be kind of a funny website yeah just like like
39:34
you know those ones where it's like racist like it's a big image yeah and
39:37
you just see like this the slit yeah and like it could just go down down down is
39:41
there going to be a dick is there going to be a dick is it going to be a dick no it's an iphone 7. yeah
39:46
i like that yeah we should someone someone should make that website wrong
39:50
squarespace yeah and if they did so then they wouldn't have to pay for the first
39:54
14 days because squarespace offers a free trial um that lets anyone try it
39:59
see how easy it is to use before buying and deciding to use offer code when to
40:04
save 10 when they decide that that website really needs to be on the
40:08
internet forever because it's an important piece of artwork
40:14
speaking of important pieces of artwork
40:18
tools are not really art and ifixit makes tool kits
40:24
that someone put away improv someone put away them properly and this is my kit but it
40:29
was in the workshop so uh oh i don't know what happened there
40:33
are all the pieces there are you gonna have to rage face all the pieces it looks like all the
40:37
pieces are good but are they in the right spots i've had people put my kit
40:40
back with the pieces not in the right spots and i'm like i'm sitting here looking at
40:43
going okay like the kits are great everything is clearly labeled it is you
40:48
can you can obviously tell what goes where this is the 64-bit driver kit so
40:54
it won't run on Windows xp but as long as you've got Windows vista or later or
40:58
actually technically there was a Windows xp x64 edition but it was terrible no
41:01
one used it no one used that i actually did run it for a little while did you
41:05
did it it worked oh yeah most people i know of that had it it like crashed a
41:09
lot and stuff i it was actually stable on my machine cool yeah yeah it was it
41:13
was one of those things anyway ifixit has
41:17
what do they have they have great they have guides for diy electronics repair
41:22
whether it's your whether it's your imac your tablet your phone whatever the case
41:25
may be i have saved enough using ifixit guides
41:30
to tear down machines and often repair them in ways that cost me very little
41:35
money that i could easily have afforded to buy myself an army of ifixit repair
41:40
kits not that i need one because all ifixit repair kits are backed by their
41:43
lifetime warranty in fact my ifixit repair kit my original one that i bought
41:48
over holy crap i've had it for three and a half years now LMG is almost four years
41:52
old it's weird right yeah i know it's actually really close to yeah usually yeah like soon anyway my original one
41:58
still worked so well that i fixed it had to yell at me and tell me to stop using
42:02
it on camera because it's old and outdated and they're supposed to be i'm
42:07
supposed to be doing sponsor spots for the new one but my old one still works
42:11
exactly perfectly in every way we're getting closer to me
42:16
working with you for six years
42:21
then whoa then nothing i guess but we're
42:24
getting close we're getting close to that i was thinking like all my previous
42:27
jobs combined but that's not actually quite true yet we're getting we'll get
42:31
there we're gonna get this yeah um also in the pro tech tool kit which is the
42:35
one that we actually have these awesome embroidered ones that they sent us which
42:39
is why i know that someone put it back in the workshop when they took it from
42:43
me yep um so they've got like esd safe
42:48
tweezers hey you still have all your covers for your tweezers and stuff
42:51
you're doing good yeah they've got little pokers and prodders and prying
42:54
tools they've got their other prying tools the suction cup the esd strap that
42:58
doesn't look like it's ever been taken out along with the other the little
43:01
spatula thing and the other like pry tool that's it's great the tweezers and
43:05
stuff have been used but yeah that has never been taken most of what you need
43:09
to work on pretty much any small device is included in the kit and i can't say
43:14
enough about how much time and money i've saved with ifixit kits and i have
43:17
to say the first kit or at least the last kit that we had i don't know if
43:21
that's technically the first kit was great but this one is a lot easier to
43:25
keep things tidy within the kit and that's actually
43:29
really cool so you can get the all-new protec tool
43:33
kit it's not really that new anymore but my notes are old and get going on your
43:37
next fix hacker rebuild by just heading over to ifixit.com
43:41
Linus to save five bucks on a purchase of ten dollars or more and they have a
43:45
lot more than just the toolkits they have like replacement gaskets for like
43:49
imacs like they have replacement parts uh the things that you'll break when you
43:53
take something apart they a lot of the time have stuff that'll allow you to actually put things back together which
43:57
is really helpful all right
44:00
moving on to our next topic we actually have not covered a lot of topics today
44:06
um we've done like three
44:10
okay so the original article here is from thedailybeast.com polymer lucky the
44:15
facebook near billionaire secretly funding trump's meme machine
44:22
yeah so basically he is providing financial
44:27
backing and it's apparently he has confirmed this to the daily beast
44:33
he is providing financial backing for a group that circulates dirty memes about
44:38
hillary clinton even going as far as to buy physical billboard space
44:44
for a meme about how hillary is too big
44:48
to jail and that's the that's the one that's in the uh
44:52
the image right here yeah nimble america
44:58
now whether or not this is even legal is is
45:02
actually kind of a gray area right now because under the u.s tax code something
45:07
something nimble america can't spend more than 50 percent of its
45:11
resources backing a candidate unless it
45:15
also does all these other things or something something etc
45:19
but the fact that it's happening at all basically he's so he's putting money
45:23
behind an unofficial donald trump group dedicated to posting and
45:28
circulating internet memes maligning hillary clinton i mean what is this
45:32
i i kind of think that people should
45:35
probably put a little bit more
45:38
uh investment into these two particular
45:41
lines that are actually quotes from him the first one is i've got plenty of
45:45
money the second one is money is not my issue i thought it sounded like a really
45:50
jolly time if you look back and do a
45:53
little bit more deeper searching instead of just taking this article and a couple
45:56
other ones at the surface go far enough back there's pro bernie
46:02
tweets on his twitter retweets tweets from himself all that
46:06
kind of stuff he was pro bernie in the background in the back
46:11
when bernie was still running i guess and i kind of think what's happening now
46:16
is he's just like welp my horse is out of the race time to just be a supreme
46:21
troll and he's literally just doing what he
46:24
says in that quote where it says money is not my issue i thought it sounded
46:28
like a really jolly good time
46:31
i think bernie is out so he's just like
46:34
let's burn some fires and have some fun and troll and have a jolly good time i'm
46:38
not trying to defend his actions i just think that's helpful right now i just
46:42
think that people are taking it as something that it isn't and you can
46:46
still be mad and pitch forkey over what i just said i don't care i just think
46:51
that that's probably more where it's coming from and it also seems like more
46:56
like a thing that he would do let's just troll around
47:01
i generally don't like trolling i'm not trying to defend this yeah i'm saying i
47:05
think this is the more accurate way to appreciate what's happening this is a
47:08
really immature move um
47:12
and i mean it shouldn't surprise me that much the guy is really young
47:17
and i think his estimated net worth based on some of the articles i was
47:20
reading when i was looking into this something like 700 million dollars
47:24
i don't think anyone knows exactly how much you got paid from the facebook bio
47:28
but it was a lot and
47:31
i i think like is he just
47:34
is he just like cranky and bored like is that what this comes down to
47:40
uh yeah i kind of think so like i don't
47:45
actually know obviously because we only have the
47:50
quotes that are out there but i think he's looking at
47:54
this selection as honestly what it is which is a complete
47:59
mess in like every possible way you can look at it uh
48:03
rock and hard place yeah and just going like
48:07
well let's just screw around because obviously everyone else is screwing
48:11
around so i'm gonna do it the way i do it which is by tossing some
48:15
money around and having fun with the internet
48:19
and you can you can all judge that however you please
48:24
oh man yeah the uh the twitch chat is just like
48:28
this this is great why don't you guys report on mark cuban who's going after
48:32
trump every day no one goes after trump
48:38
trump creates the trumpness
48:41
like you don't have to go after trump
48:46
all right like but then like
48:49
yeah i don't know yeah i mean
48:53
yeah i think i think i i can't read this person's twitch username because it's
48:57
like bright green but the point is to vote for who actually respects your
49:00
constitutional rights and is actually willing to defend them and actually
49:04
knows his head from his butt and i agree with that and unfortunately
49:09
the system is broken enough that that isn't happening
49:12
i don't think we need to get way too into politics directly um
49:17
you guys can all go watch uh yeah what was it called well there's a there's
49:20
going to be a debate coming or that no our thing which thing when we built the
49:24
computer oh yeah you can go watch um oh what do we call it what do we call that
49:30
uh tech showdown yeah tech showdown episode two i think i think it's a good
49:35
name i don't think it's a good youtube name yeah yeah i think it's a good like
49:38
tv show name yeah um
49:42
yeah so all right so good luck everyone i am pretty sure he's just trolling and
49:46
at this point with how the election is going i literally don't think it's going to make
49:50
a difference um the too big to jail thing is an
49:54
actually very arguable point yep i'd rather
49:57
so like and i haven't seen any of the other memes they've made but that one's
50:00
really not that bad i don't know i think people do like to
50:03
glom on to some of the anti-trump things that i've said and go like oh he's a
50:07
hillary supporter i'm i'm not i'm canadian so fortunately i actually
50:12
don't have to make a decision on election day which is great which is
50:16
great for me i can just kind of point out everything that's completely
50:19
ridiculous about both of them um but but trump is more hilarious like i have
50:25
never paid closer attention to any
50:28
political anything that i have to the 2016 us
50:32
election it has been better than
50:36
every book i've read every tv show i've ever followed and
50:40
every movie i have ever watched in terms of entertainment value that's really sad
50:45
it's hilarious i don't find it funny
50:48
oh at all really i find it really depressing i to be completely fair i
50:53
find this a little bit more funny than how the election's going because this feels like a troll it feels like a joke
50:58
i think it's legitimately a joke i think he's legitimately screwing around i
51:01
think trump is a living breathing joke oh yeah but like that's a living
51:06
breathing joke that might go in office and like control things and
51:09
both of them are that i don't agree with either of them okay like so
51:13
fair enough when like this is probably literally a joke i could be behind this
51:18
more i guess so i don't know but this literal joke could contribute to putting
51:23
trump in office i don't think it's good is it funny
51:27
anymore at that point luke i don't think it's gonna change is it funny anymore i
51:30
don't think it's gonna change anything i think as of right now no one's really
51:33
flip-flopping sides if you've chosen one of them i'm pretty
51:37
sure you're there the polls are all over the place i don't know man yeah but the
51:41
polls are old like yes yes and no i mean every time every time trump attacks like
51:46
a widow and okay not to like aside too
51:49
hard it's still first past the post is it not
51:53
i don't remember so the election just doesn't matter in my opinion because it's just all anyways so just
51:58
everything's you have two crazy people running sounding like trump
52:01
you're sounding like trump it's a rigged system man it's a rigged system
52:05
system's rigged all right san francisco is getting tiny
52:10
self-driving robots that could put delivery people out of a job this is
52:15
actually very interesting because while the whole drone delivery thing
52:20
is very headline grabby this
52:24
is way more practical
52:27
safer more economical that is to say if they don't get stolen that often which
52:32
i'm sure will be a thing at some point or another um
52:38
and way more likely a future than than what
52:41
i see what i see happening i mean this
52:45
is the way to handle the last mile that
52:48
addresses the problems with current couriers like the cost associated with
52:53
people driving vehicles around and delivering things the cost associated with
52:59
fuel involved in driving those vehicles around if these things could be cheap
53:03
and fast enough and easily replaceable enough to have enormous fleets of them
53:08
then it could actually become truly more
53:11
economical to order things online than to go and pick them up in bulk at stores
53:17
and this should be terrifying to brick and mortar retail absolutely terrifying
53:22
more so than two delivery people who will still have to be involved in larger
53:26
shipments and customs brokerage and that kind of stuff for quite a while moving
53:31
into the future um so the startup uh what's what's a
53:35
startup called starship technologies yeah it's an autonomous robot i don't
53:39
think lioness is saying that he wants to put people out of jobs i think
53:42
no i'm saying that it will happen so we better be ready for it yes um and
53:46
whether that and you know what you can you can you can cry
53:50
um what is it socialist all you want
53:53
but at the end of the day like if we create enough technology that
53:58
people legitimately have nothing to do
54:01
and have all of their of their base needs taken care of
54:05
we're gonna have to figure out something there's like there's arguments on each
54:09
side there's one that's going like in in no recordable time in history ever has a
54:14
new technology wake actually made it so that there's less
54:18
jobs it's just changed what the jobs are but then there's a counter argument which i agree with more which is this is
54:22
just job removal and mass yeah this
54:26
isn't actually like just making your lives easier it's just
54:29
directly replacing people i mean let's look at the ice box or uh
54:34
so i i love ice harvesting it's like
54:37
it's hilariously out of date and it wasn't that long ago
54:44
like crazy like like trains of ice
54:48
okay like crossing america to deliver
54:52
ice from the ice harvesting caves to
54:55
people's ice boxes all right like like there was an entire infrastructure built
55:00
around this industry and then boom refrigeration yeah but
55:04
refrigeration requires jobs maybe more skilled jobs
55:09
which isn't necessarily a bad thing because educational standards have by
55:12
and large been improving since the early 1900s but overall the jobs were replaced
55:17
things that people did were replaced by things that other people did
55:22
so net net maybe you even gained jobs like you do
55:25
it many times as this whole thing progresses um and it's more convenient
55:29
for the people that are using the thing that's right however looking at some of
55:32
the automated things that are happening now replacing the person who flips burgers with a machine that flips
55:37
burgers replacing the mechanic who changes the oil in your car by hand
55:41
because every car is different with a machine that just swaps the battery on
55:46
your model s in what was it like 10 minutes it's less than it takes to fill
55:49
up your tank of gas something along those lines i don't remember exactly what it was not a lot of time
55:54
now we're talking about people who actually just don't have any work to do
55:59
um and it's very different end-to-end replacement
56:02
not only are you just replacing the guy that flips the burger you're replacing
56:06
every other line of cooking that's in there you're also replacing selling
56:10
things to people the food delivery you're also replacing the food delivery
56:13
you're also replacing the food harvesting to some degree yep you're
56:16
also replacing everything yeah yeah
56:21
so basically this robotic courier um
56:24
picks up goods from a centrally located logistics hubs hub and delivers them to
56:28
homes within a two mile radius through a partnership with mercedes-benz the
56:32
company is experimenting with loading a bunch of robots into a modified sprinter
56:35
van that drops off the delivery bots along its route now when
56:40
self-driving vehicles loaded up with it's going to be like
56:44
phantom menace man like you're going to have like the the like the the drop ship that like
56:50
floats along the street and then it's going to be like unroll the thing and it's going to be like
56:54
they're going to like come out and they're going to deliver all the things to the houses they're going to come back
56:57
and then it's going to go the next location it's going to be an amazing future we just need to figure out
57:02
the role that people are going to play in it it's complicated yeah so like this is
57:06
cool and i love it but like my job is still protected for a while
57:10
although it won't be that long before you can build an ai
57:16
evaluates a product tests every single
57:19
that was made by another ai possible yeah that was made by another ai that
57:22
tests every single possible aspect of it and delivers like
57:27
how good is it could it be better
57:30
and yeah and then the places making these
57:33
products will just have those in their studios where they're making their
57:37
products and then the robots that are making the products will know exactly how good it is and
57:41
then they'll price it exactly where it's supposed to be so you won't really need the reviewer bots because you'll just
57:45
know that everything is price scaled exactly perfect so spend more and it'll be better yeah period yeah
57:50
for everything always all right
57:53
so we're slightly over time i would like to cover there isn't much oh we already
57:57
talked about total biscuits tumor thing right yep sort of cool i mean
58:01
there's really nothing else in the notes that we didn't say already it's very good
58:05
consumer size is down by 50 that's very good
58:09
um AMD's am4 socket has been pictured
58:13
okay it has like 1200 pins or something like that i don't know right 24 pci
58:18
elaine's which is really interesting so AMD is apparently targeting
58:23
squarely between Intel's mainstream platform and their
58:28
enthusiast platform just based on that that's all i'm going based on but that
58:33
is actually very interesting to me
58:36
so dual channel ddr4 which is frankly all we need on the desktop anyway
58:41
24 PCIe lanes meaning that AMD seems to
58:44
think they're going to be that
58:48
better than the mainstream but like enthusiast grade but cheaper
58:53
than enthusiast option which is a as a void that Intel has
58:59
stubbornly refused to fill over the last four to five years really
59:04
interesting because Intel could easily build a more complex quad core or a six
59:09
core in terms of the die size cost
59:13
associated with that mainstream platform they just choose not to they choose to
59:17
put better onboard graphics if AMD comes in and turns the screws a little bit on
59:22
Intel we could be in for a fascinating couple of years here apparently it's not
59:26
that many pins it's not 1331. yeah 1331 that's more
59:31
than 12 whatever that i said i
59:35
thought you said something else oh okay i don't know twitch chat's trying to
59:38
correct you i don't know what's going on get rekt twitch chat spotify and tinder link up to form a
59:44
match made in heaven if your heaven is swiping if your heaven
59:49
is swiping people and listening to music for free
59:52
yeah i mean i think it's actually not a terrible idea to have people with
59:58
similar music tastes sure um
60:02
yeah like i mean so you can swipe someone and then just be like justin bieber nope
60:06
yeah exactly or justin bieber yeah this new stuff's okay i don't know
60:10
i i meant like that's why i said that's why i added the yup afterwards
60:14
i don't listen to new stuff i'm old now
60:17
i listen to the things on my server now i'm that guy oh yeah or monstercat's
60:22
24-hour fm mix because i can stream that
60:26
because monstercat's cool and stuff so i either listen to monstercat because
60:30
they don't mute my vods or i listen to stuff on my server
60:34
and that's it excellent yeah or the radio because i
60:38
don't pay attention to it and it's in the background i still listen to the radio too yeah and i actually listen to
60:43
it like over the airwaves like i don't have a fancy app like even though the
60:47
only station i listen to like you could just listen to it in an app
60:51
anyway but i would never listen to it in the app because if i'm somewhere that
60:55
doesn't have a normal like am fm radio then i'm just going to listen to music
60:59
that i have off my server so anyway you can link your account and the music
61:04
taste begins to become part of your dating profile
61:08
and you can also pick a song to be your anthem that describes who you are
61:13
so that's supposed to be a way to understand a person through a single piece of music which is unfortunate
61:18
um don't laugh brandon you know that you
61:22
know a single person yeah a single piece of music would have
61:26
been enough for for for brandon it's like do they have a song about
61:31
taking pictures polaroid picture
61:38
okay uh oh our buddies over at lime technology have released the latest
61:43
iteration of unraid so all the features that i've been demonstrating since two
61:48
gamers one CPU are finally in a stable
61:51
release hooray
61:55
hooray so they get vlans multiple Ethernet
61:58
support no device limit for trial so you can actually try out unraid in a way
62:02
that's not frustrating which is oh my god kind of cool everyone's doing
62:06
nickelback look at this photograph
62:10
yeah that could be brandon brandon could have a bunch of music under his profile uh
62:14
they've added dual parity support so if you're worried about two drives failing
62:18
at a time and losing data then you no longer have to worry about that they
62:21
have a gui boot mode now so you don't have to access it on first boot over the
62:26
network which i personally find helpful i find that because like i don't care
62:31
you can tell me all day that this should work over the network just type this
62:35
into your product no no no just let me plug in a vga port
62:40
and a ps2 keyboard and then i would believe that it will work
62:45
so that's pretty happy for me um major
62:48
updates to virtual machines so i will be trying to do uh like a multi
62:53
vr gamers one CPU over the next little bit so stay tuned i'll be looking at
62:58
some of the new 6.2 features there you and the point
63:04
i think it's point three percent of steam users
63:08
well why are you a hater i'm not
63:11
okay then
63:15
uh oh opera browser unveils a free
63:19
unlimited vpn service this this raises my eyebrow because nothing
63:24
in life is free and especially user data is a very very
63:28
valuable possibly valuable enough that you could
63:32
operate a vpn service for free with what that would be worth and i'm
63:36
not saying they're doing that and i'm not saying that well opera was relatively recently bought out by some
63:41
like i think random chinese company that people don't know a ton about if i
63:44
remember the article correctly that we covered on the lan show a few months ago
63:48
that's probably not noted in here so it's a free no log easy to use vpn
63:53
service available directly in the opera desktop browser
63:57
um christian calandra senior vice president
64:00
of opera browser for computer says if people knew how the internet truly works
64:04
i believe they would all use a vpn i don't believe any of them would use a
64:07
free vpn if they knew how the internet works yeah um by making our browser vpn
64:12
free and easy to use we hope to make it an essential tool just as the locking
64:15
key is to your house i also wouldn't put opera in charge of
64:19
the locking key to my house someone uh someone in twitch chat said that they
64:23
tried the opera vpn and it's terrible so maybe that's how they're getting around
64:26
the costs it's just it's just really bad oh okay
64:30
well hey maybe i'm maybe my tinfoil hat is too strong today
64:35
and i should have just gone with my like general skepticism hat
64:39
i use opera as my home browser i've talked about this a little bit before
64:42
because i use all browsers that might that's my thing so every like different
64:46
computer i use a different browser you'll see i'm using firefox now
64:49
i'm maintaining that by using firefox on my laptop
64:53
i use chrome on my work desktop use opera my home desktop firefox on my
64:58
laptop and then ie on test benches
65:01
or edge i guess on test benches but half the time i get too frustrated with it
65:04
and switch to chrome anyways because it just doesn't work um
65:09
god stupid i still hate how the bar is in the middle yeah
65:14
until you type in it's like muscle memory okay
65:18
i know where to find the browser bar don't move it
65:23
period it's fine where it is or was yes
65:26
and don't move it put it somewhere and don't move it if you decide the best
65:30
place for the for the url bar is in the middle of the screen
65:34
then stick with it and if it's not the best don't put it there ever yeah
65:38
because it's not because it's not that you would navigate away it would be right in the middle of your face that's
65:41
really stupid yeah and it's no less stupid doing it some of
65:45
the time yes um
65:48
samsung announces the 960 pro and 960
65:52
evo SSD is boasting boastering boasting
65:55
blistering fast sequential read speeds of three and a half gigabytes per second
65:59
and rights of 2.1 gigabytes per second and something like three plus times
66:04
the random iops of SATA ssds we are finally at the point now here
66:09
where NVMe ssds are coming into their
66:12
own and are going to be legitimately much faster feeling day-to-day than a
66:17
SATA SSD how long do you think until we start seeing it um
66:22
as a rather common thing for easier for a user to have no
66:27
cable-based drives oh oh well in laptops already a thing i
66:32
mean razer blade doesn't have a spot for a drive
66:36
it has one NVMe slot okay i see what you're saying that's it so in laptops
66:40
now yeah in i mean
66:44
okay so we're already at the point where that cable NVMe interface is like dead
66:50
in the water there's a handful of drives that support it but it's like
66:54
unless Intel and AMD both get on board and start building it into the south
66:58
bridge like that's not happening um so those dry i mean there's only like
67:03
one drive that i'm aware of on the consumer side and that's the Intel 750
67:07
series um so either plugging into a pci express
67:12
slot or plugging into an m.2 slot on your board wow i think it's going to make way more
67:17
sense for performance enthusiasts and by
67:20
extension everyone a few years down the road probably out there three years
67:24
three years that's my prediction three years
67:27
the only thing that makes me worry a little bit there's already a two
67:31
terabyte model yeah but how much does that cost
67:35
but give it three years so i'm saying two years okay yeah i wish we uh what
67:39
could be kind of cool is if we had like a custom calendar just for like claims
67:44
that we have on the way i know right so we can like follow them up properly
67:47
someone out there is probably doing it that would be pretty cool actually
67:51
it's like things that Linus and luke predict on the lan show
67:55
like followed up how would that go i think that pretty
67:58
much wraps it up americans apparently pay 40 more for tv than they did five
68:03
years ago which only proves that americans
68:07
should stop paying for tv or that the only people left paying for tv are the
68:12
like ones who just aren't aware of the internet
68:16
like what was it 30 million americans cut the cord last quarter like some
68:20
obscene number they don't watch sports sports can also be streamed online and
68:25
it's cheaper to sign up for like nhl center ice than it is to have a cable
68:30
subscription that's not necessarily true if you watch multiple different sports
68:33
well if you watch multiple different sports i mean okay if you watch baseball
68:37
and anything i don't know how you have time for anything else
68:40
do you know they played baseball did you know they didn't only play 160 games a
68:44
year i did and that's without playoffs what the hell
68:50
160 games a year you could literally spend in your home
68:55
arena i don't think they call it an arena but i don't care ballpark there in
68:59
your home ballpark i think it's a state park calculator
69:03
fenway park calculator okay so 80 over 365 you could spend
69:09
22 of your evenings in a ballpark if you
69:13
had season passes and you actually you could eat a hot dog
69:17
one out of every five nights
69:20
and that is it for the lan show thank you for tuning in today we will see you
69:24
again next week same bat time same bat chat uh i will you will oh yeah i
69:29
probably won't be here i will probably have a new baby and i'll be like not in
69:32
this country and hopefully that stream works at all we should just have like
69:37
nick and Colton host the WAN Show no i hate that guy no
69:43
no no
69:46
he's cold and shiny from the background charge is over this is not happening
69:56
now my understanding hot dogs like legit increase your risk of dying
70:03
like but it's like there was a study and it was basically like there's a
70:07
threshold like they're actually not very harmful until you eat a lot of them
70:12
like over an extended period of time then you like die
70:15
because it's like sodium and like
70:19
highly processed and like stuff yeah no
70:22
nose and like well pig nose is probably good for you
70:27
everyone knows that oh god yeah we're still
