0:00 time uh for some reason the San Francisco server hates our life right

0:06 now and uh why did we have some audio

0:09 issues when we went live for a second there before why did we have that well

0:14 gee it's because someone why are you looking at me oh no

0:21 no no no no someone no no no no knocked

0:25 our mixer off the table okay okay some

0:30 someone's bright idea was to glue the

0:33 power connector into the mixer okay so it

0:37 falls off the table onto the power connector which why would the glue have

0:42 anything to do with which which breaks

0:46 two of the pins off into the back of the

0:49 connector which now have glue all over the place and someone me I'll be you

0:55 know clear about who this was I was trying to salvage it

1:00 by pulling and so basically long story

1:04 short um the mixer's okay the input the

1:09 power input for it is not so we need a new one so um so so we had we had some

1:15 issues there and someone is responsible for them you know I don't want to name

1:19 any names or anything but uh that that someone would be totally okay with uh

1:24 having the whole company transferred into his name if he's going to have to

1:27 be blamed for things that he didn't do he might as well have the things that

1:30 the person that did them has i' would be cool with that so we've got a great show

1:35 for you guys today NVIDIA still has a

1:39 shovel but this time they're filling up

1:45 holes uh but not like screwing anyone

1:49 like not that kind of filling up they're like planting trees in the holes that

1:53 they dug yeah see there they're restoring overclocking to their mobile

1:57 gpus also Apple May enter the car game

2:01 this could be fun to see would you buy an Apple car well we'll discuss it later

2:06 yeah we'll discuss it later is this your fantasy fantasy

2:10 oh okay okay tell them to tell them

2:13 topics H snow Sony is attempting to sell snake

2:19 oil um it's not going very well for them everyone on the planet has pointed it

2:23 out and no one's believing them at all so yep also DNA hard drives sound pretty

2:28 freaking cool maybe not crazy usable and crazy feasible right now but pretty

2:33 freaking cool regardless all right let's run that

2:50 intro so are we allowed to show like our logo hold on it's still loud

2:57 sponsored by us so are we allowed to show like our own logo on this thing

3:02 because I'm not really sure wait are

3:05 these are these graphics on the uh

3:09 they're oh they're probably on that USB drive so there's no logos uh because in

3:15 other news this week YouTube no longer allows brand logos in like what on are I

3:21 can be the logos so okay we'll go back to so Theo so this week's show is

3:26 brought to you by I fix it you cover the

3:31 by Luke there we go also

3:41 linda.com you're much hotter than her

3:44 and

3:48 Squarespace wait yeah that's it is that

3:51 it okay I don't know I think so logo but it's not a title card yeah it's not a

3:55 title card logo but it's a of focus horrible blurry logo it's here I I

4:00 promise you it's there um oh apparently

4:04 there was no sound at some point other

4:07 people can hear just fine so I think it's just someone's got their someone's

4:11 got their volume muted okay all right so why don't we

4:15 jump right into our first topic of the

4:20 day I will find first topic of the day

4:23 hooray uh NVIDIA to restore overclocking

4:27 in Mobile gpus this was originally posted by querty Warrior are you going

4:31 to throw the uh the article in there so basically what it comes down to and we

4:36 talked about this last week is NVIDIA took out overclocking from a mobile

4:40 driver and we discussed this last week and the general I think we pretty much

4:44 agreed on All Points dick move but you

4:48 probably shouldn't be overclocking a laptop probably that was that was kind

4:52 of the and I had some people get really upset about me making that statement

4:55 because there are laptops that do have beefy enough cooling system to be able

5:00 to handle overclocking just fine ASUS g751 there are some some clom made

5:05 machines that definitely have enough Cooling and are and are overbuilt enough

5:10 that it should be fine um but in in general in general people shouldn't be

5:14 overclocking the GPU in their laptops anyway but basically having received a

5:18 lot of pressure from oh I never actually brought up the tech power up uh link

5:23 here go ahead have we tested your push

5:27 yeah everything's fine um so basically Bally users were super super mad and

5:35 um with its most recent driver update the company decided to restore

5:39 overclocking with its next driver update scheduled for March so you won't have to

5:43 wait that long and in the meantime you can revert to the older

5:47 34475 drivers so I guess that's pretty

5:50 much all there is to say about that um that's two super positive things I've

5:55 seen from them in the last little bit are we over GTX 97 70 vram gate oh

6:01 probably not um and I've had some users bring up some really good points about

6:05 that but I got a sweet update for my shield to help with emulation

6:09 performance and they restored overclocking on their mobile gpus so maybe they don't just hate their

6:13 customers after all yay on the along the

6:16 lines of the uh G huh can I help you

6:20 trying not to interrupt I emailed you the lower thirds because those were also

6:24 just on the USB oh email is not helpful

6:28 yeah I can't do anything with that um

6:31 plug the USB back in no we can't because there's more USB stuff uh don't don't

6:35 worry I'll figure it out I'll figure it out don't worry I well can you PL it in the front uh yes that would work do you

6:39 want to do that I left it on top of the chassis okay in the meantime uh what was

6:44 I even talking about you were talking about NVIDIA being better 970 gate so I

6:49 actually got a PM oh my God can we not call it gate I'm so tired of everything

6:54 being called whatever it is and then gate uh how about break the vram

6:58 internet oh did I make it worse yes I wanted to

7:04 make it worse that was what I was going for I was I was I was trying to pretend

7:08 I was making it better but actually I made it worse I got you yeah that that

7:11 was my intention uh so so I actually had

7:15 someone PM me on the form and go well hey hold on a second lonus you said that

7:19 even though that memory is much slower that 500 Meg chunk of memory is is much

7:24 slower it's still faster than system memory but I I checked mine and my

7:28 system memory is faster and while this user did have like 2,000 mahz DDR 3 or

7:34 something like that like it was some super high-end premium memory and a lot

7:38 of users wouldn't be running system memory that's as fast as that chunk uh

7:43 it still brought up an interesting point I mean what about those users whose

7:46 system memory is significantly faster than that slow chunk of memory they

7:50 wouldn't even want NVIDIA's Tom Foolery with overflowing into that that mean you

7:54 might as well just go to system RAM and be able to turn it off so I thought that

7:57 was a really interesting point and I guess that leads us pretty well into our

8:01 next topic here this was posted by the okay whatever unless you know what

8:08 no new policy unless your username on the Forum is an actual I don't care

8:12 unless your username on the Forum is an actual name or word I'm not even going

8:16 to try it's a car well I'm not much of a car person

8:21 so NVIDIA gets hit with a false advertising suit over

8:26 gtx970 performance uh um so pretty much

8:30 that is what it sounds like some people are mad and uh it claims that NVIDIA

8:35 misled customers about the capabilities of the GTX 970 claims the last half gig

8:40 runs 80% slower than advertised and can cause images to stutter at high

8:44 resolutions and cause poor in game performance and for some reason Gigabyte

8:49 is the only OEM being named as a defendant um so yeah NVIDIA declined to

8:56 comment about the suit and the lawsuit seeks a jury trial and damages that

9:00 apply under California law filed on behalf of all us customers that

9:04 purchased a gtx970 the judge has to approve it as a

9:07 class action suit before it can proceed so lawyers make money and

9:13 everyone else gets a check for $12 then five years yeah those things are just

9:18 the worst unless it's for like actually substantial amounts of money which it

9:22 never is then it's just the worst where can I help you did my glass of water go

9:29 I'm largely just worried that I'm going to kick it right oh it's under it's

9:32 under there okay we're good you won't kick it unless you if you manage to kick

9:35 that then you are one talented kicker I

9:39 I don't see I think you'd hit your shin here before you could put your fo okay

9:44 he's look this this is why I hate this show he's got his foot like this and

9:49 he's like daintily like pointing at the

9:53 well yeah that's not we I use the word

9:56 kick that is not a kick if you kick like that I'm not playing I'll play sports

10:00 with you but not on your

10:03 team all right all right touche all right Samsung Su LG executive LG suus

10:10 Samsung this was posted by SS so on the Forum and I love this story because this

10:15 is so oh this is the pettiest nonsense

10:20 that I have read in quite some time you

10:23 want to go you want to go want to go through what happened here the worst series events ever okay

10:28 so what is is it LG home appliances Chief and two of his employees were

10:32 indicted for deliberately damaging Samsung washing machines at like some

10:36 store or something Germany yeah and then

10:39 uh where is it they admitted to it yeah

10:43 and then they agreed to pay the damages after some German authorities were like

10:49 what and then I think they made fun of Samsung quality or something yeah they

10:54 took a pot shot at the quality of Samsung products and Samsung was like

10:57 you can't

11:01 then separately Samsung display said that four of its employees were indicted

11:05 charged with stealing OLED display panel Tech from LG display Co limited charged

11:11 with illegally obtaining the information from an LG contractor this is uh the

11:15 these Korean Rivals over here are getting I mean they're getting real high

11:20 school up in this can you can you even

11:23 imagine like I worked at a retailer for a long time I can't even literally if I

11:29 I can't even begin to imagine like our

11:32 Intel rep okay like comes to tour a

11:36 store with us and I turn my back on him for a second ands beating up and he

11:41 sticks a screwdriver into like the cooling fan of like an AMD computer like

11:46 that's the kind of stuff we're talking about here oh man that is some that is

11:50 some serious like grade eight grade N

11:54 Stuff appliances Chief like it's not even like some it's yeah yeah it's not

11:59 some like you know some rep that works at that store

12:05 is trying to make his products look better like it's not that no like that's

12:08 fairly low level and actually like I understand that a lot more it's not even

12:11 like a like a country like a country sales representative who's like you know

12:16 trying to like How Could An executive do

12:20 something like this no he's probably on a business trip officially in Germany

12:24 like if you if you're some vigilante employee like I can see stuff like that

12:29 happening like the whole thing with um who was it was it Verizon or AT&T or

12:35 something where they're renaming customers names to Butthead and and okay

12:38 what whatever like there we're talking about the actions of one employee for a

12:43 highlevel executive to behave in such a manner as that it's just crazy that

12:48 reflects a mindset at the company that is just not very mature and whatever

12:55 whatever comes of the lawsuits I think this is just embarrassing enough that no

13:01 matter how much they're forced to to pay in Damages for you know ruining someone

13:06 else's washing machine it they should just be the embarrassment should be

13:10 worse than than any of that it's probably not that's just but it should

13:14 be ridiculous yeah I can't even I was

13:17 reading through that story and I clicked through the link being like this isn't

13:21 going to be real this isn't going to be real at all this is ridiculous there's

13:25 no way oh it's real oh apparently it wasn't apparently it was Comcast

13:30 apparently it was Comcast with the the REM they're all ridiculous it doesn't it

13:34 doesn't it doesn't matter cuz it could have just as easily been anyone else or

13:37 something like that all right so this

13:41 your favorite topic of the Year this is some serious serious rumor mill stuff

13:46 going on here so original article here is from 9o5 Mac this was posted by pit

13:51 5000 and um we've also got another post

13:55 from Blaze 756 and apple is rumored to be entering

14:01 the car game now this is something this

14:05 is actually a debate I had um post

14:08 iPhone but pre iPad with the uh with the

14:13 NC cameraman who a lot of people seem to

14:16 think is Luke but NC cameraman was always a different person ncx cameraman

14:22 is a person and then the people who operated the camera while I was at NC

14:27 all had their own alias was one specific

14:30 person that was the ncx cameraman yeah and he was like the Mac guy and he's the

14:34 one that I always had that that Mac banter back and forth with and he was

14:39 the one who convinced me to get an iPhone 4 and like all that all that

14:42 stuff so so we were talking and he goes you know what's Apple's next big move

14:48 and not having thought of SmartWatches

14:51 unfortunately I I said an i they had already done that I'm sorry they had

14:56 already done that that's true they had already done a watch but that were right

15:00 that was that was that was Jonathan Morrison's very silly video and where he

15:04 blindsided me with the Apple watch and it was very funny actually you can check

15:07 that out it's on TLD today uh on YouTube

15:10 but um he asked me what's their next big move and I said I said I car and then

15:15 I'm I want to I want to get this out there again before I get into all the

15:18 rumors about the about the Apple car but then my next prediction was I home and

15:24 he said no impossible because Apple's

15:28 design full philosophy is that you know it's it's almost it's almost early Ford

15:33 like here is the one color or maybe if you're lucky three different colors and

15:38 here are the two models and or you could have last year's if you're some kind of

15:42 scrub like that's that's that's a that's about all they do and he goes no no no

15:46 the car is too personal a thing and and

15:49 the home is too personal a thing there is no one siiz fits-all and I kind of

15:53 went well Apple's whole thing is they figure out the one size fits like

15:58 they're going to have like half of people bumper cases for your car and that's good enough and so so right so so

16:03 the car so Wall Street Journal reports Tim Cook approved Apple electric car

16:08 project a year ago and there are apparently rumored allegedly hundreds of

16:13 employees working on it so um Steve zesi

16:17 a former forward executive is leading the group and appal is working on

16:21 something that will quote unquote give Tesla a run for its money so he was

16:26 given permission to create a thousand person team there's there's we have to

16:29 be careful about a lot of different things in this article in my opinion because every single car company that's

16:34 trying to make an electric car is like we're going to give Tesla run for its

16:37 money so like take statements with a grain of salt they might it's Apple they

16:44 might it's Apple I mean if there's something that Tesla is good at it's

16:49 battery and design and just general

16:54 attitude and if there's something that apple is good at and sex appeal Tesla's

16:59 really good at sex appeal you know and if there's anything that Apple's good at

17:02 it's all that stuff I just listed they're really good at that stuff and they have a lot of money yeah so um

17:08 although it's funny I was reading another article not not one that I that

17:11 I can pull up right now about the uh the poaching War that's going on between

17:16 Tesla and apple right now and apparently apple is having a hard time wooing

17:20 people over from Tesla um people believe in the direction that company's headed

17:24 and believe in musk as a leader so that's that that's really interesting

17:28 but uh anyway so zesi was given permission to create a thousanders team

17:32 and poach employees from different parts of the company and

17:37 um and then though this is actually sort of only slightly related but there are

17:41 some rumors floating around that it looks like apple might want to acquire

17:46 Tesla I personally think those those I think it's stupid those rumors are very

17:51 baseless there're speculative rumors it's speculative rumors of some investor

17:55 that's probably like if I make this rumor really big and then it happens I'll be super super rich and I'll be

18:00 people will think I'm super cool and they will want to swim in my pool with

18:03 me yeah like it's it's not and I'll have a pool it's it's one random could play

18:08 pool in a pool I would have like I would

18:11 have like a floating pool we should tell Lou to install an indoor pool and then

18:15 put a make his pool table like take the legs off and put it on a floaty boat

18:19 that would be awesome and then you can play pool in the pool pool in the pool

18:22 like pool pool you play pool in the pool while watching pool so you have like a

18:27 TV while while you're in the pool too and you can watch pool tournaments while

18:30 you play pool in the pool so anyway yeah there's the the the sort of the the

18:35 speculation here is that no one else in the world could try to acquire Tesla

18:39 because they either don't have the cash and they don't have the ability to give assurances to musk that they won't screw

18:44 it up um Apple's design team so software

18:47 global distribution would actually level Tesla up in some ways and that this all

18:52 may be the case but I I think I think

18:55 that musk is early enough in the Tesla project

19:00 that he's not going to just hand over the Reigns because it hasn't it hasn't

19:04 even begun to sell things he sold two of his

19:09 his his two previous companies but he also seems to get them to a certain

19:14 point and that was where I was going it's not there yet it's nowhere near the

19:19 potential that he probably sees for it and that many people see for it not even

19:23 close I think he would want to get it to a certain level before he'd be willing

19:27 to sell I think to him like when you hear him talk about money like $75

19:31 billion sounds insane but to him that might not sound that insane and that

19:35 might not sound like enough he he values money in a very

19:39 different way than most people because he's looking at projects like sending people to Mars where he needs incredible

19:45 like sending armies of people essentially to Mars like thousands of

19:49 people um so he needs incredible incredible amounts of money so his scale

19:53 is very different to other people's so he might be looking for a lot more than

19:56 that he might be looking for that I don't know what he's looking for speaking of Mars Mars One selects oh

20:02 sorry about that uh Mars 1 selects one alen and 99

20:08 human finalists that title makes no freaking sense and I've never been able

20:11 to figure out why it makes any sense um it's just 50 guys and 50 girls no idea

20:18 why it's one alien 99 humans um I dug

20:22 very deeply trying to figure that out uh no no clue okay so basically they

20:28 have narrowed it down to uh 50 finalists

20:32 of each gender that are going to be going through some physical testing and

20:37 they're going to be uh they're going to be evaluated in terms of their

20:40 suitability for you know well leaving

20:43 behind everything and everyone they've ever known or loved um did I did I

20:49 mention who this was posted by uh rohi Kumar SP yeah there we go and I cannot I

20:56 can't I don't know why it's like bugging out oh tap the nope nope nope all right

21:04 there we go there um okay so what else

21:08 we got for this one so I didn't get picked did you apply a long time ago I

21:13 had actually forgotten that I had um it was like well before I started working

21:17 here because this has been a really long time coming right so I think when I was

21:20 at like iuic oh okay so like a while ago

21:25 right like I don't know how many years

21:28 but like so they had

21:31 22,5 186 applicants and the scary the

21:35 scariest thing about this project is this is a one-way trip these people

21:39 would die on Mars so they're going to have to prove that they can demonstrate

21:44 okay you are completely correct but I hate that people are saying that

21:48 sentence in that way well they would live on if they didn't send they would

21:51 die on Earth yes okay like people are

21:54 saying like oh yeah they're sending 100 people to go die on Mars it's like yeah

21:58 what I mean by die on Mars is they would they're not coming back yeah they would

22:02 they would never find out how you know I don't know what's the some show people

22:06 care about they would never find out how Game of Thrones ends because well you

22:10 can send data it's just be really slow really slow you're not going to

22:14 you're not going to be sending like Game of Thrones you're going to be sending much more important things than that I

22:19 would think Game of Thrones in like 250 by

22:22 250 look I see a

22:27 sword but I really appreciate how cinematically shot this blocky Pixy mess

22:32 is um but they'd be able to like they'd get pictures of their family and they'd

22:36 be able to like essentially email back and forth and whatnot like you could

22:41 yeah still still still pretty crazy pretty crazy so they and they're not

22:45 just going to be selecting people one by one they're going to have to also

22:48 demonstrate their ability to work as a team because you are not going to be

22:51 able to be a lone wolf on Mars and expect that to go real well for you this

22:56 is not the way I mean this kind segue as well because we were just talking about

23:00 Elon Musk this is not the way he thinks this should be done no at at all I mean

23:05 100 people is not a colony that's not

23:08 even that's not even a small town in central BC for the most part although

23:12 there are some smaller ones than that but but that that's not going to be like

23:15 a functional Society it would I I I

23:18 don't I don't know I don't know it's certainly cool I wouldn't apply to go

23:22 but uh apparently younger me did um

23:26 would you apply to go now not for Mars

23:29 one i' I'd be much more interested in elon's implementation of it right but

23:33 elon's implementation of it is very different than Mars one right so yeah

23:39 and like I don't know when or if that's even going to happen so that's also a

23:45 completely different conversation it's it's Elon so I will never say it won't

23:48 happen right yeah the hyperloop everyone reported will not happen being worked on

23:54 yes so there's that yeah so I will there's no way I'll say it won't happen

23:57 but it just looks not super crazy likely right now

24:01 that's all all right so tech radar has uh this is a pretty quick one but uh

24:06 basically an investigation into whether we should unplug our chargers at night

24:10 this is something a lot of people are really confused about and justifiably so

24:15 because the guidance we get from manufacturers you know in the quick

24:18 start guide for your new cellular phone ulator this was posted by iham yeah

24:23 posted by iamy on the form doesn't actually tell you what you're supposed

24:27 to do and a lot there's a lot of misinformation out there like oh if you

24:30 leave your phone plugged in it overcharges your battery and ruins it

24:34 actually it doesn't any smart charger for any reasonably modern device is

24:39 going to trickle charge once it reaches a full charge which while not perfect

24:44 for your battery and not actually as good as simply charging it and letting

24:50 it discharge to a reasonable level and then charging it again while not as good

24:54 as that is not nearly as harmful with a Lithium Polymer or lithium ion battery

24:58 as just continuing to charge it which will nuke it like right like that and

25:04 sometimes spectacularly too yes lithium is

25:11 awesome um yeah don't get a wet um so

25:15 basically the article summarizes that um the best time to charge your

25:21 battery is after work so after your

25:25 after you've done the bulk of your use for the day and then before you go to

25:30 bed so you can actually just leave it in standby or with your phone off on your

25:33 nightstand while you are sleeping that is the healthiest way more standby time

25:38 and less Plugged In Time although while that might be the best way to do it I

25:42 will never do it that way yeah it's not going to happen for me never um not

25:46 because I wouldn't be able to usually just have it plugged in that whole time

25:50 um but because there's no chance in hell I'm going to risk my screen turning on

25:54 and not turning off and then powering down in the middle of the night not having my alarm going off

25:58 yeah I the for people who use their phone as an alarm clock anything that

26:04 any habit that isn't every day so anything I don't do every day I don't

26:08 work every day I can't make that a routine but I do go to sleep every day

26:13 so if I plug in when I go to sleep like because the way that I work is on cues

26:17 yeah so I take my like I I have a I have a medication that I have to take every

26:21 morning and every night so I'm supposed to take it 12 hours apart and for a

26:25 while I was trying to do it like B B on

26:28 meals I'm supposed to take it with meals mostly for nausea but I I eat so

26:35 irregularly and all that stuff so I'm just like okay I take it um you know 16

26:42 hours and eight hours apart when I wake up and when I go to sleep and sometimes

26:46 I go to sleep pretty late so it's like four hours apart and that's going to

26:50 have to be the way that it is fortunately the way that that Med works

26:54 is it actually doesn't even kick in for a couple weeks cuz it's more like it

26:57 accumulates in your system um it's it's not personal or anything so in case

27:01 anyone's wondering I'm on hydroxy chloroquin um brand named plel it's

27:06 there it's it's for it's for rheumatoid arthritis so I'm not it's not like it's

27:10 it's like I just want I don't want people to be concerned people get really worried about me sometimes it's it's

27:14 actually kind he's got the AIDS it's kind of bizarre no not not that so much

27:18 how do you know um it's not that so much it's it's

27:23 like wow

27:26 um wow um anyway you know what let's just let's

27:33 this is a topic that I really want to

27:36 talk about this is awesome we've talked about this before we have talked about

27:39 this there's a lot of topics in the doc this week that we've actually this one

27:43 um this one was actually sent by a friend of mine so I we usually quote

27:47 whoever uh whoever referred us to it and this was a buddy a badminton buddy of

27:52 mine who used to coach me and I had this

27:55 was back when I was before I had kids right because he was coaching me to play

27:59 badminton like who has time for that um

28:02 and we would often go I never paid him for coaching oh this dude yeah yeah

28:07 Billy so I never paid him for coaching but I would just buy him food afterwards

28:11 it was about equivalent to if I was you know paying you know 14 15 bucks an hour

28:15 for coaching and we'd go have a meal together and just kind of hang out we were buddies right so because I had

28:18 friends um so this one time I'm talking

28:22 to him and I'm like you know what what if in what like

28:28 is our older games really better like our older video games better because I

28:32 think they are yeah I think Final Fantasy 6 is the best Final Fantasy ever

28:35 made is that only because of the date

28:41 that I was born and how old I was when I played it was I was I at that magic age

28:46 there many arguments for that where I was old enough to appreciate that level

28:51 of complexity and not so old that I was

28:54 jaded but not so young that I couldn't enjoy it is and to be super

28:58 impressionable and all this kind and that's when that game came out is that

29:02 why I think it's great and and he was like yeah probably and I went well no I

29:07 I legitimately think having played it again later that it is it is

29:12 legitimately better than the ones that have come afterwards with some being

29:16 very good Final Fantasy 7 was pretty good Final Fantasy 9 was really good um

29:20 and he kind of goes no I think it's just I think it's

29:23 just chance so I was like well here's what I'm going to do my kid is not going

29:29 to be allowed to play the latest video games he's not going to be allowed to

29:32 play whatever comes out when when he's age appropriate for its release date I'm

29:37 going to make him play older games and then I'm going to find out if he

29:42 appreciates them if he appreciates the older games

29:46 the same way I do even if he plays new games while he's still young and has

29:50 time to enjoy video games because that's another really big thing too I have a

29:54 hard time having getting the same enjoyment out of new

29:58 genres like mobas compared to ones that

30:01 I was able to play extensively as a kid like 2D Platformers I because I I can

30:07 pick up you know a new Raymond game like

30:10 that and be good at it in the same way that a younger person like Luke might be

30:15 able to pick up a new MOA or a new MMO

30:18 and be good at it stuff that I didn't invest the time into building the

30:21 fundamental skills to be good at when I was younger and I had a lot more time

30:25 the way it is now you know what's funny is who was it EA was getting a bunch of

30:29 flack for um saying that their games were too hard to pick

30:33 up really I can't remember who it was yeah where they were saying like that

30:37 that the problem with the game with games is that it's too hard to learn and

30:40 that's what that's what keeps it from reaching a broader audience I actually

30:44 agree with that 100% not because I'm an idiot not because I don't know how to

30:48 you know use a controller not because I'm some kind of a chimpanzee but

30:52 because I have a really busy life I'm going to tangent off a little bit and

30:56 then I'll let you keep going sorry you know what had a really good tutorial

31:00 which one Shadow Mordor it did I had to go through it again because of the thing

31:03 that I'm doing but I will actually point out problems with even the Shadow of

31:07 Mordor tutorial for someone like me I had a hard time getting into Shadow of

31:11 Mordor because I rarely have longer than about 30 to 45 minutes to sit down and

31:17 spend with a game at a time so that means my first play session was

31:21 basically just the tutorial and then the

31:24 next couple of hours where they start to sprinkle things in was split up among

31:29 another two or three play sessions so I would be expected to know a mechanic 3

31:34 hours into the game that I literally haven't touched in two weeks and that

31:38 can be hard and you know I can figure it out and there is a legend and there's

31:42 you can look stuff up online and all that stuff but that that doesn't change the fact that it makes it less

31:46 accessible and less drop in and have fun the way that something like a a racing

31:50 game might be so anyway this guy did

31:55 it and I love this guy this dude are

31:58 hilarious this guy is a hero oh my God

32:02 and um and so playing with my son and

32:05 experiment in forced Nostalgia and questionable parenting the guy talks

32:09 about like you know experimenting on children some other thing he he wanted

32:14 to convince his kid that he was living inside a computer simulation until his

32:17 wife vetoed the idea but this is

32:21 fantastic so I'm just going to I'm just going to drop drop away from so the

32:25 article here is on medium.com and so over 10 years this guy Andy bio

32:31 performed an experiment on his son um so

32:35 this is the quote if you have a kid why not run experiments on them it's like

32:40 running experiments on a little clone of yourself and almost always probably

32:45 legal wow you are fantastic so anyway he

32:50 didn't buy his kid the latest and greatest games made him work his way to

32:55 Modern modernity playing through the the history of gaming starting with 1979's

33:00 galaxian uh calls it a decade long experiment in force Nostalgia and

33:04 questionable parenting meant to give his son an appreciation of older or or

33:09 crudder games that he otherwise may have

33:12 dismissed as relics I mean it's no secret if you drop someone into you know

33:18 uh wow okay and they play that for a

33:22 year and then you're like try to appreciate

33:26 zorc that's going to be pretty tough yeah yeah yeah yeah it's true and and

33:31 and the dad didn't go quite as far back as text based games because uh

33:35 even even for you know a pretty sort of

33:39 nerdy kid that that kind of thing is probably going to be it's probably going

33:43 to be a little TP but if you're young you know if you if the idea was to start him young playing games like if you're

33:48 like a 5-year-old I don't think you're going to get much appreciation from a text Bas game so so anyway the the

33:54 result was that his son became very good at old and more diff difficult video

33:58 games um so there's another quote from the article Elliot just beat the first

34:02 Zelda entirely by himself I only helped by showing him a map of dungeon n That's

34:06 My Boy which is actually a lot of that's pretty impressive I know a lot of people

34:10 right now that would just bail out hard and you know what funny what's funny

34:15 about you saying that's impressive is that it's not I know because a

34:19 generation or two ago there were nine-year-olds playing the first Zelda

34:23 game and that's why all those people are our age are older now and look at I said

34:28 it's impressive because people quit too easily that's right it's impressive by

34:32 today's standards because like what what

34:35 driving game were we playing the other day where like we weren't looking and

34:39 forgot to steer and it the car stayed on the road I I don't remember which one it

34:43 was no Dirt 3 does that but yeah the point is games have gotten trivially

34:48 easy and it looks like it is as simple

34:51 as limiting exposure to Modern easy games and just kids can handle older

34:58 games just fine I may do the same thing I may not I when we were talking about

35:02 this a year ago or whenever we talked about it I I told you you should do this

35:07 and I totally agree and like I already save and collect old games I know you'll

35:12 probably do that thing that is possible but if you need stuff I have like Kika

35:17 visions and I have I would fuel this and

35:21 I would be so entertained by watching this process go down I am thinking of

35:25 setting up you know those two little rooms I have inside my my office uh you

35:29 know how there's a bigger one yeah I'm thinking of setting up like the Retro

35:33 Gaming Lounge there so I need to get like an awesome big CRT and I need to

35:39 get my hand there's some stuff that I'm just going to have to actually obtain

35:42 like a duck hunt like gun and stuff like that those are easy yep oh I know

35:46 they're easy to get but I'll just I'll just have to do it and uh and you know

35:50 it's it's one of those things where it's like I think some people might misinterpret this article and kind of go

35:55 oh oh we should can we straw pull this lus his through gesing games um if

36:02 people say no buts well we're supposed to let them answer before we tell them

36:06 their buts crying out loud if you say no if not you're very attractive

36:11 butts so some people not a chunky butt you know um so

36:18 some people might misinterpret this is it's not like he has to play every game

36:22 you know it's not like you made him play every game but I think the idea was to

36:27 cover different genres you know not necessarily be locked into whatever is

36:32 popular right now whatever you know encouraging Beed stupid thing but you

36:37 know start with something that insults you when you die you know and is and is

36:42 legitimately difficult and just have an appreciation for different genres in the

36:47 way that they changed over time you don't have to play every game um the

36:51 idea would just be over over a period of time would be like okay you know you're

36:55 six so this is NES year and all you can

36:59 play is you know here's the NES games I have you can play some Blades of Steel

37:02 you could play some whatever else and then maybe one year later you get a

37:06 super Ness and and a Genesis or whatever so I don't think that's how he did it

37:10 though no he he did I think this was the original idea idea we had yeah yeah so

37:15 he actually locked in the titles yeah whereas for me it would probably be more

37:20 like here's your console here's the era the era that you exist in and here's a

37:26 bunch of games you can play whatever you like like what about PC then PC yeah no

37:31 problem with that um but we would go by release years so we would maybe go with

37:35 like an acceler brackets or whatever so if he had a snst you'd give them the

37:39 bracket that the snst existed for I guess yeah yeah yeah so easier to go bu

37:44 the console but then just give the PC game to another at the same time cuz

37:48 like playing orcar as humans and stuff like that would be really cool yeah yeah

37:52 I think that would be stomped on by the AI the thing about well the wasn't good

37:58 it just cheated yeah it cheated so hard and you know Orcs versus Humans was a

38:03 funny one like I would end up in I I ended up one time on on a mission map

38:07 where it actually got to the end of the game and neither of us had an offensive

38:12 unit left and all the resources on the map were depleted because the the units

38:17 were so equivalent that you could literally you know fire you know your

38:22 last two catapult volleys eliminate each other's armies and it's just it's a

38:29 stalemate um there was no real tactical REM

38:34 maneuvering so it was it was really tough uh can you send me that straw pull

38:38 so I can screencast it um but yeah I I think I think I'm I think I'm going to

38:43 do it and it's not like my wife uh you posted in twitch chat

38:49 yeah oh can you get it can you get it Miss why are you right clicking I got

38:53 this i got this i got this i got this i got this um all right so here's the

38:56 results from the straw pole for whether I should make my my kid experience

39:02 gaming chronologically so basically super

39:05 yes yes attractive butts and and 11% of

39:09 you are ugly butts okay yeah so so attractive butts is literally just yes

39:14 is literally yes yeah okay I was not

39:17 paying attention to how you were structuring this pull I see that you've

39:21 uh taken the mature road to it you always put like banana and stuff what do

39:25 you want me to do banana at least leaves it to the imagination little yeah yeah I

39:32 I should have put yes no attractive butts ugly butts ugly butts yes or just

39:36 left out no entirely and made them click ugly

39:40 butts yes and ugly butts there we go all

39:43 right so I guess now is actually a pretty good time for us to do our

39:47 sponsor messages which ones first so did did did

39:52 Nick even manage to okay well remember it's the thing yeah will hopefully work

39:57 nope cuz the drive letter changed oh did it now yeah okay well drive it in though

40:02 or the drive is not working oh is that

40:06 oh oh um does the front USB not even

40:11 work that's maybe there's two in there though so one of them might the other

40:15 one might not all right so um I'll do another Topic in the meantime I guess or

40:20 something like that in order to sort of try to seem like this show is somewhat

40:25 professionally run yeah that was that was never that was never a thing all

40:30 right so uh this is a wccf tech rumor

40:33 and it was posted by GPU expert on the

40:36 Forum and I'm just going to go ahead and copy the link myself since Luke is

40:39 currently in disposed um and basically

40:43 there's there's actually I'm going to kind of Riff on riff off of this one

40:47 because there's some stuff about in this article and there's some stuff that's

40:51 just kind of been floating around lately but uh Fiji XT r9390x rumored to be

40:56 coming with y working now rumored to be coming with a Cooler Master liquid

41:01 cooler so it will be water cooled out of

41:04 the box just like AMD's previous dual

41:08 GPU solution that to me is some pretty

41:12 crazy stuff and pretty pretty indicative

41:15 of um The Thermals of AMD's upcoming Flagship which is which is terrifying I

41:21 mean we know that they couldn't shrink the process yet much enough I don't know

41:27 actually no I thought that I thought this was going to be shrunk can their press event be in a volcano this time

41:31 you know what I actually can't I can't

41:35 remember uh I can't remember if this is supposed to be a

41:40 um if this is supposed to be a smaller chip or not someone's going to correct

41:43 me so we'll we'll figure all that out when the time comes but basically uh

41:47 here we go so here's a look at uh so here's the leaked R9 390x shroud right

41:53 there so you can actually see the Gap right there for the liquid cooling solution uh it's also rumored that uh

41:59 aib so add and board Partners will be able to make their own solutions that do

42:03 not involve uh so this is the existing uh 295x2 I believe so they'll be able to

42:09 make their own solutions that do not involve liquid cooling although it's

42:13 you're going to need a case with like pretty great ventilation for something

42:16 like that we've got rumored specs that is some fast memory double the memory

42:21 throughput of R9 290x which was already

42:24 a 512-bit be of a card with 496 stream processor I

42:30 mean it it's looking pretty amazing but the other rumor floating around right

42:34 now is that everything under the 390

42:39 level so like the 380x 380 is going to

42:43 be rebadged no had you heard this no yeah

42:47 this is all rumor right now but it is rumored that 38x will be uh will just be

42:53 rebadged to 90x is maybe clock speed

42:57 bumps right um that is that is some

43:00 scary stuff so AMD is going to have potentially a 300 series time frame

43:06 lineup that has several generations of

43:09 gcn architecture all as current products

43:13 that is terrifying I mean what does that say about AMD's R&D budget and how it's

43:19 how it's doing right now because they have cards that are literally well over

43:24 two years old that are still part of their current lineup and if those get

43:27 recycled again that is some that is some

43:31 scary stuff that's kind of nasty cuz the costs only go down so much if you don't

43:36 shrink down the manufacturing process or make the make the PCB design less

43:41 complex so if so if AMD has like mid

43:44 tier you know $200 grade cards that have

43:47 like 384-bit memory buses these are

43:50 complicated pcbs it means you have to at least have X number of memory chips in

43:55 order to even populate the whole thing you have like it

43:59 that yeah that's some scary stuff it is a

44:04 rumor the good news is 390x according to the rumors looks like it's going to be

44:08 an absolute beast and if you want a best of the best card it's going to look

44:11 pretty competitive but we also don't know anything about Titan X or Titan 2

44:16 or or anything like that in terms of its gaming performance so we're going to

44:20 have to wait and wait and have a look at this heavyweight Showdown what we do

44:23 know is that if it's Maxwell based it's going to be very power efficient and

44:27 will not need a liquid cooler

44:30 yes so yes very much

44:34 so try number two um oh yeah yeah yeah

44:37 yeah yeah so let's try this again so today's show brought to you by linda.com

44:42 now completely free of logos except for the ones that we make ourselves so

44:48 that's luk his oh I don't I don't have

44:51 them oh you can you can have these ones you're like the cool linda.com as if

44:54 linda.com wasn't cool enough already Linda makes learning cool we should just

46:10 linda.com obtained skills daily in their

46:13 jobs at Linus Media Group so we are huge fans of

46:17 linda.com we've also got our second sponsor is this the right one are you

46:21 ready for this one okay our second sponsor not Luke this time I fix it we

46:26 managed to actually cover up the right part of it so do you want to crack open

46:29 the the prote toolkit and I think there's actually like a media file that

46:34 I'm supposed to play oh okay well that's that's on the this is like the this is

46:38 the way better version of what you were about to try and do live so I fix it has

46:43 great Guides Online for how to take apart and most importantly repair your

46:49 electronic gizmos whether they're phones or all-in-one computers like we actually

46:53 did recently with the iMac retina 5K where we used an fix it guide in order

46:57 to take it apart and try to perform some upgrades um I did successfully perform

47:03 some of the upgrades oh oh no we can't have those anymore those those aren't

47:06 allowed to be there oops hopefully no one no one Catches Us for that well there's an iFixit logo so at any rate um

47:11 we also use our Protech tool kits just all the time they are super handy you've

47:16 got a screwdriver with a bazillion bits including like weirdo obscure stuff like

47:22 security bits and like security Tores um

47:25 stuff like triwing WIS nintend

47:31 andols including the adhesive stri that need to put your back together uh little

47:36 specialized things do you have my little roller um no you don't have that one so

47:40 all kinds of little things for like picking and prodding it stuff uh it

47:43 comes with an exacto I didn't even know there's an exacto in there uh these are

47:47 really really helpful actually I what what is their official name I call them

47:50 Mac Tools can't remember what they're called but they're just like little plastic pry tools this is how you don't

47:56 break the Fasteners on your laptop when you're opening it up for example A lot

48:00 of people do that um so ifixit.com use offer code wano 03 to save $10 off a

48:06 purchase of 50 bucks or more great resource for how to fix your stuff and

48:11 then they also sell the tools that you need to fix your stuff it's a great

48:14 little great little business they got going on over there it makes a lot of

48:18 sense it does make a lot of sense look this is how you can do it yourself at

48:21 home also you can get these things so you can do it yourself at home and it's

48:25 still cheaper that was the math that I that I ran in my head when I first

48:29 bought my Protech tool kits I was like okay it will cost me this much to just

48:35 buy a tri-wing screwdriver and like one other tool or it'll cost me like twice

48:39 that much to get all of them to get all of them because the shipping if you buy

48:43 these things individually is so expensive yeah if you live in Canada

48:46 anyway and then our final sponsor today

48:49 also with the the smallest logo ever the smallest

48:54 logo ever Squarespace do

48:57 so if you guys aren't already familiar with Squarespace wow you must not watch

49:02 our show a lot cuz Squarespace is you know it's funny is the uh last night I

49:07 was helping my neighbor okay so he come he comes over and he's like I'm taking

49:12 this online course um from this micro he

49:15 he makes uh he makes electronic solar powered electronic

49:18 scoreboards yeah I know right bizarre he runs the business out of his garage I

49:22 can't relate um so anyway he's learning a new microcontroller

49:27 and uh so we we kind of get to to chatting and uh and he's like yeah so

49:31 they do the these webbased tutorials and I want to record them so I can view them

49:36 later I'm like oh well I'll use my affiliate xplit code to get you hooked

49:41 up with so you can screen capture that region and play it back for yourself later and then he starts talking about

49:46 his son who wants a website built and he kind of goes do you know anyone who

49:49 builds websites and I kind of I kind of laughed to myself because I went that is

49:53 such an old way to think about creating a website do I know someone who makes

49:58 websites because almost anyone can do it with squarespace.com so

50:03 Squarespace wow it's space and it's in a

50:06 square so squarespace's mission statement appears to be to make the web

50:12 beautiful and easier to use they've got 247 tech support they've got a ton of

50:16 great templates that allow you to make a website for yourself or for other people

50:20 easily without resorting to like finding some super expensive person to set up

50:24 some super basic thing for you no Squarespace handles all that with your

50:28 reasonable monthly fee they even include the hosting and the plans are scalable

50:33 so depending on how your business or your blog or whatever else it is you're

50:37 trying to create scales it will be able to match the demand that you have

50:41 speaking of scaling it works just great on desktops mobile devices it can if

50:47 what's that called responsive design something yeah yeah responsive design so

50:51 depending on how you're viewing it it will scale up and down and what else can

50:55 I say about Squarespace that basically it's good it's like the right way to

50:59 make a website these days you talking about their image partnership thing yet um no they don't talk about that much

51:03 anymore but yeah Getty they have a partnership with Getty Images so even if

51:06 you can't take beautiful photos to you know make your website look all spiffy

51:11 you can get them very reasonably actually stock photos are really

51:14 expensive yeah like not cheap and it's

51:17 like it it really it really does seem like half of what Squarespace does to

51:21 make their customers lives easier is also just for their own selfish for

51:25 their own selfish agenda it's like we partnered with Getty Images so you could

51:29 put better images on your Squarespace sites so people don't have Squarespace

51:33 sites that are ugly because we want them all to look really good so please just

51:36 do this they even have their little logo creator tool all good stuff so visit

51:39 squarespace.com if you or anyone you know needs to create a website and wants

51:43 it to look good be easy and be fast and use offer code Linus to save 10% on your

51:49 first purchase so

51:54 Sprint has spoken up in support of title

52:00 2 um what I didn't see this in the dark

52:04 is Sprint and ISP um well they do mobile internet sure okay yeah all right yeah

52:11 man um and and and some some of the new

52:14 some of the fcc's new uh new initiatives would involve um title 2 for mobile

52:19 broadband as well okay yeah so so yeah Sprint you know what's funny is I used

52:23 to have Sprint as an ISP back in the dialup days but I don't know if they do

52:27 that anymore I don't think so yeah and like that was in can I don't know yeah

52:30 sprint. CA man long distance plans that

52:34 are affordable I can't remember what they're sping remember I remember the pin drop though yes that was like their

52:38 their thing right no I remember that but they're not really a thing anymore so um

52:42 Sprint has basically spoken up and said you know we need it to be light touch

52:48 you know we we're not looking for heavy-handed regulation or anything but

52:52 that um you know it it didn't seem to

52:55 hurt the phone business so that was good

52:59 for us when we got into that um and that

53:03 seems to have inspired competition um so

53:07 you know yeah as long as we're not looking at heavy-handed regulations this is not going to affect our investment

53:12 into infrastructure yeah that's really cool so that's cool um so this is this

53:16 is um in the wake of

53:21 T-Mobile um Verizon and AT&T all all

53:26 claiming that it's going to be a problem so SP Sprint has officially broken ranks

53:31 and is like nope we will continue to invest in data networks regardless of

53:35 whether they're regulated by title 2 Section

53:38 706 very cool so uh the original article

53:41 here this was posted by spart man 64 did you post this already no uh original

53:45 article here was from ARS Technica I love ARS Technica what a great great

53:49 site their writers are good yep umop there were some really good

53:54 quotes in here uh regardless of the legal grounds proposed Sprint has

53:58 emphasized repeatedly that net neutrality rules must give mobile

54:02 carriers the flexibility to manage our networks and to differentiate our

54:06 services in the market so Sprint's not saying yes we will offer only one speed

54:11 to all of our customers and it will all be unlimited we still they're saying we

54:14 still need to be able to you know have you know if you go over a certain data

54:19 limit we might have to throttle you in order to manage our Network and manage

54:23 the load to provide the best experience to the bulk of customers as we can

54:28 because mobile data in particular is

54:31 really not as simple as you know throwing in some new switches at the Hub

54:36 and adding more capacity I mean it is an extremely expensive roll out and the

54:41 capacity is limited in a much harder

54:45 sealing sort of way compared to you know

54:48 something where your your fiber installation could be X deep into the

54:52 double digits percentage dark fiber that's not even being used used yet

54:57 where there is literally almost no cost

55:01 to just turning on more of it um so so I

55:05 totally get it and I think uh they they couldn't be reached for comment by ours

55:10 um when they asked to clarify what they mean by managing their networks and

55:14 differentiating their services but I kind of get it and I think I have a

55:18 pretty good idea what they mean by that and I think the fact that they're coming

55:22 out and saying this publicly is pretty

55:25 pretty positive so cool good on youprint

55:28 not saying everything you do is great I'm just saying this is this specifically was very cool this is

55:33 pretty cool yeah um so this was posted by prast dupac and the original article

55:38 here is from Wall Street journal.com and apparently we're getting

55:43 we're getting more and more leaks this is not that this is not that uh

55:47 customary for an Apple product launch for us to get people internally who are

55:52 talking about the development process and the challenges jobs has passed away

55:58 well this is this is a real weird situation there are some some allegedly

56:03 sort of oh I'm sorry I'm not sharing I'm not screen sharing right now there's some allegedly inside sources claiming

56:09 that originally the Apple watch was

56:12 intended to be more of like a multi-functional health monitoring

56:16 device with sensors for heart activity blood pressure uh stress levels and all

56:22 kinds of things that Apple wanted to monitor with the watch but over time uh

56:27 the sensors weren't accurate enough they had problems with hairy people or people

56:31 with dry skin not getting good readings

56:35 um there were challenges with um uh potential regulatory issues like if

56:40 Apple's going to sell a device that claims to make you healthier uh all of a

56:44 sudden they have to deal with I believe it's the FDA sorry I'm not American so I

56:48 try to keep up with with uh that might make sense yeah the Food and Drug

56:52 Administration or other Regulators if they're going to make claims like oh you

56:56 know helps you monitor your your your heart health like all of a

57:00 sudden that that could be a that could be a disaster I'm I don't know how I had

57:06 a cardiac arrest I was wearing my Apple watch at the time and the battery died

57:10 because Apple's internal battery targets look abominable but that's just me

57:14 injecting my own let let me just be weird you keep talking I'm just going to

57:18 solve a problem Oh keep going keep going keep is

57:22 that like happening right now yes it is the whole you were supposed to keep

57:26 talking that supposed to be unobtrusive oh yeah whatever no no it's okay my uh

57:30 people are adding me on Steam friends and I'm going to completely ignore all

57:33 of them the same way that I have been the only you know there's an there's an

57:36 ignore all button the yeah I know it's beautiful but I usually don't do it

57:40 because you know what happens is if you let it sit for long enough your friend's

57:45 request list actually fills up it maxes

57:48 out and so then so the only reason that

57:51 I ignore Al a while ago and the reason people are able to do this right now is

57:56 that I tried to legitimately add someone to my steam friends not that long ago

58:00 yeah you were there that night I think I added Josh or something yeah so anyway

58:05 um what else we got here so the Wall Street Journal Source describes the

58:09 four-year watch Project as a black hole

58:13 that sucked in resources from elsewhere in the company

58:17 um features like measuring blood oxygen levels and blood pressure are said to

58:21 have only been shelved so it's possible we'll see this in future iterations but

58:26 for now I really do believe the Apple watch is going to be the first

58:30 generation is just going to be a complete stop Gap solution um different

58:36 from any other stop Gap solution like the iPad 1 was actually kind of a stop

58:40 Gap solution like if you look at it compared to any other iPad it had the

58:44 shortest shelf life I believe I I'm

58:47 doing this off the top of my head it had an extremely short shelf life it was

58:52 discontinued much more abruptly than other Apple iPads that have continued to

58:57 exist even with their their successors available in the market um since then

59:03 and it just they dropped support for it extremely quickly compared to iPad 2 um

59:09 like it was just it was a bit of a redheaded step even though it was the

59:14 one that created the tablet category as it is today um as it is today yes as it

59:20 is to oh no I know tablets existed before that but the the Apple watch

59:25 looks very different to me it looks like like with the iPad it was like yeah we

59:29 we like we did the best we could and we're like pretty sure this is pretty

59:33 good and it's going to be like a better way to browse the internet and with your

59:36 fingers and stuff with the watch it really does look like we just kind of

59:40 have to release something yeah it doesn't seem very Apple a lot of things

59:45 Apple's been doing lately doesn't seem very Apple I'm conflicted on Apple right

59:48 now because I really like things in terms of the security and stuff that

59:52 they have on their phones the security the app support the camera camera that

59:56 they have on their pH really good but then I dislike things like some of the

60:00 design choices that were made which are super stupid and then just different

60:04 directions that Apple's going in right now but then Google is doing way worse

60:08 in my opinion so then like what one do I actually follow right now Windows phone

60:13 oh I wish it was better I really wish it was better I really want to like Windows

60:17 phone I have taken so much crap for the stuff that I say about Windows phone and

60:22 you know what's funny is when Windows Phone eventually gets good and I switch

60:27 to it people are going to be like blah blah blah back in the day when you

60:31 hammered on it oh my God yeah I hammered on it cuz it was terrible it was a

60:35 terrible terrible ecosystem and that's not to say Windows phone is terrible

60:40 terrible ecosystem because it's just bad

60:45 and people can go oh well you can do this and you can do that that's nice you

60:48 can but I'm not going to invest that kind of time into doing stuff that I can

60:52 do in like 4 seconds on an apple or an Android device I got super excited when

60:56 I heard the Ubuntu phone was coming out and like where did that even go did that

61:01 just disappear no there's a new thing

61:04 there's a phone actually coming out but it's not going to be anything like that original one that they announced it's

61:08 like a super cheap like very cheap phone

61:13 oh I remember that project yeah that that totally died I I really wanted to

61:17 try Ubuntu phone actually like badass sapphire glass one no no I just wanted

61:21 to try the OS Brandon brought in his Galaxy Nexus s specifically for me to

61:26 install Ubuntu on it cuz I wanted to try it out and then I just like I kind of

61:29 never got around to it unfortunately um it's probably going to be bad it's

61:35 probably but like could you be slightly more negative

61:40 I I was just thinking I needed more negativity in my life you know could you

61:44 this company sucks this one sucks this show sucks I would like this one but it

61:48 sucks I hate this show this one's interesting but it sucks oh whatever I

61:53 wish my co-workers weren't such buttheads um attractive but heads this

61:57 is great oh my God someone made me the

62:01 window wow can you link me that I'll

62:04 retweet it oh wow okay we we got to show

62:08 you guys this we are we are taking a break in the middle of the show to show

62:13 you guys this because this is great it is awesome um do I have to sign in in

62:20 order to search for things on Twitter oh I don't know that's okay I'll just I'll

62:24 just do it not a big deal if I click and go view

62:29 image I could this is this is amazing where did it go I just saw it uh oh okay

62:34 my Twitter feed moves too fast here it is yeah there you

62:38 go if you click on it it it will give you a better uh that's fantastic so

62:44 someone recreated the linda.com logo with Luke as the as the Linda mascot I

62:50 absolutely love it I wonder if we'd be allowed to use this it's not their logo

62:54 we should ask Linda though like we should ask Linda if they'll let

62:58 us use if they we we should I was bringing this up earlier if we did like

63:03 kind of funny Recreations of all the logos like I was talking to Nick for

63:07 some of them would be tough for for Dollar Shave Club I don't remember what

63:11 it is crossing but it's a cross it's razor blade it's razors yeah so if I

63:14 just held two razors and went like this oh my goodness or if we like 3D

63:20 printed two really big razors and then took a photo of them

63:24 that could probably work like because it's not really their logo no it's

63:29 not that's we're going to start something here and then we're going to

63:33 draw a bunch of attention from Google that we don't even want we're going to

63:36 be the martyrs that we don't want to be yeah yeah all right so posted by fnot on

63:40 the Forum cognitoys huggable dinosaur is

63:44 connected to IBM's Watson super computer

63:48 imagine Dollar Shave Club sponsored Wolverine sorry keep going

63:54 I oh okay I do want to play this video

63:58 because this thing is hilarious so um

64:01 let me just I hope the volume

64:05 Works uh hold on my my my my system sound is muted just a

64:10 sec hi my name is Lily to meet you okay hold on hold on

64:16 hold on hold on okay I think I just I've got the wrong audio device set give me

64:20 give me just a second here don't worry I will I will get this sorted out so is it

64:23 supposed to sound like a dinosaur cuz that sounded very very aggressive hold

64:26 on hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on I'm on I'm on this I'm can you just

64:29 can you just can you just not like can we just what's what what what is xplit

64:35 stream audio renderer okay just everyone just calm

64:39 down okay I think it's working

64:49 now okay this thing's voice

64:59 this the sound of this dinosaur thing is

65:02 like some scary scary stuff now to be

65:06 clear this was actually clarified in the article to be clear the voice is

65:12 supposed to sound more Cookie Monster like in person but right now it's just

65:17 like I'm going to murder you like it

65:20 really sounds it really sounds awful so oh my God basically it's a smart toy

65:25 it's on Kickstarter it's going to be $100 I'm actually thinking of funding it

65:28 just so I can get my hands on one and play with it because this this tickles

65:32 my tech I love that kind of stuff my parent techie sort of I don't even I

65:36 just yeah I love things you can talk to and the idea is that it'll use machine

65:40 learning to interact with children um so it'll be little plastic monsters that

65:45 use that that communicate to with the Watson supercomputer to basically answer

65:49 questions and interact so uh you push a

65:53 large button on the belly ask a question and Watson excuse me green dino will

65:58 come back with the answer and so Elemental path's pitch here is that as

66:01 your child ages the toy will monitor their progress and ask more

66:05 sophisticated questions and provide more detailed answers when it is dialoguing

66:10 with them cool um now to be clear IBM's involvement in the project is purely to

66:15 let the company connect to Watson like they're not actually developing this

66:20 it's just we got this supercomputer yeah this is a way that we

66:25 could maybe make money off of it if people wanted to like use it for Stuff

66:28 um so so that's pretty much it um so I have about as much hope for this product

66:32 as I do anything else on Kickstarter which is about this much um but who

66:36 knows might be great might be terrible and uh I don't know I might I might try

66:41 it out just like because like I wonder how I wonder how old of a child it would

66:44 think I am yeah I'd be like oh my

66:48 goodness that would be so much fun yeah like how old are you in in in Dino

66:53 calculated years yeah I don't know it looks pretty cool becomes the new IQ

66:57 test yeah really right um let's talk

67:01 let's talk DNA storage this is really cool so this is posted by System 32 on

67:05 the Forum I'm going to go ahead and pull up the uh the National Geographic

67:08 article here um think that's a first

67:12 that's probably a first yeah I don't know if we've ever posted anything is

67:16 awesome so this is this is just one of the uh one of the aspects of the going

67:22 be a good photo when it has that little yellow rectangle

67:26 yeah man anyways all right so well

67:30 preserved specimen pushes back the timing of modern horse Evolution basically uh oh basically they are able

67:35 to read DNA data from a 700,000 year old horse bones which is pretty freaking

67:41 intense um and that's actually I don't know how um related that really was they

67:50 because they were able to sequence that genetic code I think that's maybe a

67:54 proof that if they were to to store this stuff they would be able to access it

67:58 way later in the future right I think that's actually more part of the uh

68:02 whole point they they're calculating that one gram of DNA which is actually a

68:06 lot but one gram of DNA would be capable of holding 455 exabytes which is insane

68:11 so here's the sciencealert.com article that actually talks about what they what

68:16 they did with um with using DNA to store

68:20 data subjecting it to some pretty rigorous environmental and aging testing

68:25 so they've actually got it contained within what is it like tiny micro glass

68:29 no yeah 150 nanometers 150 nanometer

68:33 glass capsules diameter 150 NM in diameter um to keep to keep them safe

68:39 and they figure they could preserve the world's data for millions of years how

68:42 many exobytes in one gram of DNA it's

68:46 455 which is pretty insane they do it by coding A and C pairs of DNA as binary

68:52 zero and t&g pairs as one so they can

68:55 yeah you're essentially putting huge amounts of binary which is kind of what's always happening so that's not

68:59 too surprising now to be clear this is not affordable technology so the 83

69:05 kilobytes of data that they encoded for the study cost around

69:10 $1,500 and and you wouldn't be able to use it as like a hard drive or an SSD

69:13 this is not yeah stuff is specifically encoded onto this and then hoped that

69:18 you would be able to specifically take it off later not like you can actively

69:23 use it for read writes yeah like the DNA inside the spares would be extracted

69:26 using a fluoride solution it's not like it's not like you just you know drop

69:31 some drop some hloy cells into your uh

69:35 computer there and you've expanded your hard drive that just make a mess I'm

69:39 hoping I'm hoping that eventually we're going to have biological hard drives to

69:42 some degree because I think that could be pretty crazy cool but this is not it

69:46 but this could be extremely large

69:50 extremely uh long-term data storage so if people were to back up like a library

69:56 that could be super cool or back up like the current state of the public internet

70:01 that could be super cool stuff like that the Time Capsule kind of stuff could be

70:05 really cool but it's yeah it's not a hard drive wow this stream like people

70:11 are all over the place some people are just seeing like my chat just saw the

70:16 dino video link your chat could be behind and then some but some people in

70:20 chat are commenting on what I just said with the hloy cell joke that some people

70:26 I was hoping some people would get that that's why I was looking at chat um okay

70:31 so meganet uh this was posted by narar

70:34 on the Forum and the original article here is from the hacker.com

70:39 N so I'm going to let you mostly

70:42 handle are you going to let me mostly handle

70:46 narar what are you doing did my output

70:50 like bork again okay well here you want to talk about this in the meantime while

70:53 I try to fix this Fe have your email open anyways kim.com is jumping on the whole

70:58 like kind of private internet style stuff just like a couple other projects

71:02 have own there's made safe project maelstorm and zeronet are a couple other

71:07 examples so they're all just like uh like peer-to-peer networking hosted

71:12 websites stuff so you're still using internet infrastructure for the most

71:16 part um or entirely but you'd be able to do it per to peer what's kind of cool

71:20 about a lot of these is I don't remember what country this is going down on right

71:25 now now and I'm not going to be able to bring up this article right now but a lot of people are having issues having

71:29 internet at all so people are running their own lines North Korea secretly

71:33 North Korea no I just you said people having trouble having internet at all so

71:37 I said North Korea no I don't think it's North Korea but either way um I'm pretty

71:43 sure it's not North Kore no it's it's not it's not at all anyways they're

71:46 running they're running their own lines and creating their own kind of Internet with their own websites their own game

71:50 servers which people can connect to and play on like it's actually pretty sick

71:54 what's going down I don't remember where the country is you can try to look it up

71:58 it's a cool article anyways um yeah so

72:01 he's trying to make the it's going to use trying to make that mainstream more

72:06 so you don't have to run your own lines This would run on the internet but

72:09 you're kind of encrypting things using uh the blockchain that was used for

72:13 Bitcoin there's no more IP addresses because it's using the blockchain that

72:16 was used for Bitcoin uh I suggest looking up how the blockchain works if

72:20 you want to understand how that makes any sense and yeah it's not actually a

72:24 super complicated idea it's just a different way of having websites on the

72:27 internet you'd be utilizing stuff like the bandwidth and the storage on your

72:30 phone right because it would be distributed all over the place peer-to-peer Style Network um yeah very

72:37 much so phone although not exclusively phone a lot of what he's talking about

72:41 is the data on your phone which you probably have excess of which is not

72:45 that surprising because you probably actually do and the storage on your

72:48 phone which you he's saying probably have excess of but I'm not super

72:53 agreeing with don't really think so the

72:56 fact that 16 gig phones still exist at all is just before I reformatted my

73:01 phone I couldn't do anything with it I'd take a photo and it be like Max Capacity

73:06 and I didn't have that much stuff I had like two or three self-taken videos um a

73:11 very small library of songs of like stuff that I saw while I

73:15 was traveling

73:20 not damn it like really cool diseases that you acquired while you were

73:24 traveling whoa how do you take a video of a disease oh I can imagine

73:30 how anyways yeah uh it's not a super new

73:34 idea but it's kim.com doing it so it

73:37 might actually become a big thing instead of not which is mom is the bit

73:41 torrent guys so like

73:45 yeah yeah then again bit torrent sync hasn't exactly completely taken over you

73:50 know drop like it probably should have

73:53 you know it's funny again I'm going to bring up I'm gonna bring up my neighbor

73:56 again because last night I was uh I was

73:59 like I was helping him with this thing he's kind of like an older guy and he

74:03 was telling me about his um he was telling yeah I'll I'll bring that up

74:07 later he was telling me about his um like his setup he's got like mostly

74:12 older computers like he has like this guy is like crazy technical in ways that

74:16 I'm not like he built his own CNC and I'm just like that's cool um and then

74:23 and then the idea of I I mentioned a Naz

74:27 because he just has all his computers like not networked to each other and he

74:33 whenever he needs to store something longer term he pulls out a terabyte

74:38 that's what he calls an external hard drive and I'm just

74:41 like wow so like like I'm looking I'm

74:45 looking past Dropbox for how I can control my my cloud storage myself and

74:52 use my Nas as a as as as like a a cloud

74:55 device and like there's there's people that haven't even that haven't even got

75:00 like the idea of Central Storage like technical St smart people who are like

75:06 scratch building like he scratch builds the entire electronic scoreboard you

75:12 know sources solar panels CNC Cuts all

75:16 the metal components welds them programs

75:20 the microcontroller that controls the solar panel charging and controls the

75:24 functionality the board and builds this crap in his garage and the guy has like

75:28 never heard of the idea of a NZ and I'm

75:31 like how do we reach these kids you know

75:36 anyway how do we reach these kids um Media Tech mediate Tech of all

75:43 people showing off 480fps 1080p video uh the article here

75:49 is from nextow up.com um 480 FP s

75:56 video his his laptop's being a butt yeah sorry not an attractive butt I'll have

76:00 the I'll have the right thing up in a second here um with their but with their

76:05 with their upcoming what the there we go

76:08 okay so there we go super slow motion 1080p video with their upcoming what is

76:12 this an eight core eight cores clocked at 2.2 GHz now remember gigahertz is not

76:17 important that actually is completely meaningfulness uh but check this

76:21 out like I I wouldn't have I wouldn't

76:25 have figured it's going to be mediate Tech pushing things forward in terms of

76:29 of the processing power required for super slow motion video

76:35 capture so here we go so 116th speed of

76:39 course this is all totally simulated oh that's one quarter

76:43 speed so that's 120 FPS this is hardore

76:47 480 FPS dat

76:51 slowo now this was obviously not

76:55 captured on a phone yeah simulated imagery you can see all the depth of

76:59 field that would not be present on a phone in the image but the point is if

77:04 it can do this at all that's still pretty freaking cool

77:08 who knows and I mean the thing is is that we've gotten to the point where the

77:11 CPU in your phone is pretty darn fast

77:15 and is it worth spending an extra you

77:18 know like a flagship phone is going to be 600 700 $800 plus dollars depending

77:22 on your storage configuration if you can get a phone for a couple hundred bucks

77:26 with a mediate Tech chipset that might start to look pretty

77:30 compelling I mean there's still value ads to high-end phones um things like

77:34 the because there's more to it than just you got an image sensor and like a fast

77:39 processor you actually have to do a lot of software work to make a phone camera

77:43 good yeah but um man the hardware is the

77:47 hardware is getting pretty pretty terrifyingly

77:50 cheap uh directx12 this is posted by rafy on the Forum original article here

77:55 from tweak Town reportedly treats multiple

77:58 gpus and we're back to remember twe toown has autoplay stuff uh yeah not

78:03 like I can screen share it anyway because it'ser losing it every time okay

78:08 what article is this where did you go uh

78:11 I just did the next one it's up up there we go uh can treat multiple gpus as

78:18 a single there we go as a single entity

78:23 so this is not actually that new as far as I know so no um yeah

78:30 poed memory could be a thing and um well

78:33 okay AMD was doing this and basically perfect scaling could be a thing so as

78:38 we like super hardcore we're like this is definitely going to happen to

78:42 everyone I guess now it's officially going to definitely happen to everyone

78:45 it's officially going to be easy apparently okay so that's that's pretty

78:50 much it so uh Brad Wardell the CEO of stardock tweeted that they did a test of

78:54 direct X1 versus directx12 on an unreleased

78:59 GPU uh with an 8 core CPU and directx11

79:02 managed 13 FPS with direct X12 managing

79:05 120 what is stardock even still doing um lighting and lens effects were were

79:11 apparently cited as one of the reasons why directx12 performed much better so

79:16 uh one thing it does make is it easy to treat multiple gpus as a single

79:21 GPU all right so we're into our we're into our quickfire topics here this

79:26 one's from kit Guru posted by roohi Kumar SP and Sony to launch smart

79:31 glasses in March they look absolutely

79:34 abominable um this will not be the Savior that Sony is likely looking for

79:40 for their God that looks bad company it has a a a a single color green display

79:46 it's like what is this we're going back to yeah yeah um it's going to cost 520b

79:52 in the UK and $840 in the US

79:55 it will use augmented reality to place an image in your field of view in the

79:58 center it's going to have 85% opacity so you'll be able to they not calling it

80:02 Holograms Sor I said 85% opacity transparency only 15% opacity 85%

80:08 opacity would have been so bad I wear my

80:12 sunglasses with augmented reality at night so I can not see things that are

80:19 very high resolution crash my car

80:22 into the bridge all day and I don't even

80:27 care I crash my car into the bridge and

80:30 then I let it burn so the resolution of the screen is a totally impressive car

80:35 419 by 138 and Care you'll be pairing it to a

80:42 phone with kit kat 4.4 later Android

80:47 gonna be garbage don't want to Che it buy it I still want to check it out uh

80:52 CS or something Sony invested 800 42,000

80:55 to buy 2% of SNP a Japanese startup making self-driving cars so this was

81:01 posted by numlock on the form believe it's zmp whatever um Sony joins

81:07 self-driving car chase blippity bloopity so basically the point of all this is

81:11 that Sony wants to leverage uh one of the business units where they actually

81:16 are a market leader which is Imaging sensors so it's no secret Sony is pretty

81:21 good at that stuff and they figure that self driving cars are going to need a

81:26 whole heck of a whack ton of them over the next uh over the next five to's like

81:32 crap if we Market this properly we might not go bankrupt yeah this this could

81:37 actually save the things that we want to do that are not this yeah

81:42 um Neil Young's $400 high def music

81:46 player this is posted by Victoria Secret on the

81:50 Forum I think saying loses to Apple's

81:53 iPhone in BL audio test is a very

81:57 sensationalist and uh it's just not better right Apple biased headline

82:03 appleinsider.com that is actually not how it went down the original article is

82:08 from CNET although I'm showing the uh

82:11 the appleinsider.com one and what actually happened is people couldn't

82:15 tell the difference conclusively enough

82:18 to pass a blind taste test yes that is

82:21 how it works I forget what the numbers are because I don't stare at this stuff

82:26 all day so it's it's not necessarily better it's not it's not that it was

82:31 could not consistently enough conclusively tell the difference between

82:35 the $400 Pano player and the iPhone 6

82:38 something that I could have told you guys but um David po former professional

82:44 musician over at sorry did I say ca I'm sorry I meant Yahoo Yahoo Tech uh that

82:49 was terrible I'm sorry Yahoo Tech Yahoo Tech um so it wasn't the most scientific

82:54 test but he did set it up reasonably well and it wasn't ABX but it was blind

82:58 AB testing and he had I think just over a dozen like 14 people um including

83:03 self-professed audio files come in and try to tell the difference between them

83:06 and more people did select the iPhone 6

83:10 as the winner but the way that a blind test works is I think you have to be

83:13 able to tell 90% of the time or

83:17 something in order for it to be considered that you could tell so that's

83:21 not that's not that's not good because random guessing could cause serious issues with Statistics and it does cause

83:26 serious issues with Statistics um oh oh this is cool gaming

83:31 theater.net this is originally posted by mystical on the Forum um Zelda Wii use

83:37 open world is apparently as large as the system can handle this was like when I

83:44 first saw this topic I was like that's not new information what um this was

83:50 highly hinted towards like very

83:53 freakishly highly hinted towards they basically said it but I guess now they

83:57 officially said it when they were to First announcing

84:01 the game they were like yeah we weren't able to properly do this with Wind Waker

84:05 that's why there was islands and stuff and now there won't be and we're going

84:09 to use as much as we can and now it's like it's going to use as much as it can

84:15 I don't know this isn't really new news it's basically what I was trying to say

84:19 I I mean what's exciting about it to me is that um is that Nintendo is treating

84:24 you know large explorable worlds seriously again I mean we got away from

84:29 that again it always comes back to Final Fantasy 6 for me that world was massive

84:34 and had a lot to explore and that was like SNES days like if I was going to if

84:38 I was going to ask if I was going to create a Christmas wish list of what I

84:42 want RPG makers to invest their Dev time

84:45 in it wouldn't necessarily be fancy Graphics it would be lots of NPCs that I

84:49 can interact with and lots of cool stuff that I can explore because that is what

84:54 makes that kind of game fun and you did like

84:57 Oblivion right yeah I did like obliv yeah okay yeah I was going to say well

85:01 why don't you play and then I was like wait cuz I lost my save game yeah way to

85:04 rub some salt in that wound yep I forgot jackass sorry about that um that is

85:09 actually I actually do feel bad that's horrible it's okay oh we teased this so

85:14 we have to talk about it original article here is from pcworld.com

85:18 Sony pedals snake oil why wasn't this in

85:21 the main thing 60 cuz I moved it uh 64

85:24 gig micro SD XC card for premium sound

85:30 this like we are we going to need like a weekly audio file snake oil segment we

85:35 had the Ethernet cables the $10,000 Ethernet cable last week we've got uh

85:40 yeah Pono player I think I talked about the week before and then we've got

85:44 Sony's premium sound SD

85:47 cards spoiler alert there is absolutely

85:51 nothing about an SD card that makes it better or worse for audio could it be uh

85:58 something to do with Emi connections between the SD card and the

86:02 player that you wouldn't hear anyways but could it be is that what they're

86:07 referencing towards let's find out what they have to say about if it just says

86:11 high speed then uh that would be junk

86:15 okay okay they're selling it in Japan it's a four or five times more expensive

86:19 than a typical 64 gig card it is supposed to produce less electrical

86:22 noise okay so yes it is supposed to

86:25 wouldn't like yeah still snake

86:31 oil just saying cuz there was the yeah the register and PC perspective for like

86:37 oh yeah the different type of storage medium like no crap that's I don't think

86:41 that's what they were going for of course still uh you know it doesn't like

86:46 even snake oily things try a little bit harder than what the Rister inpc

86:50 perspective pointed out yeah like that's obviously not what they were going for I

86:54 still still think this is totally snake oil but it's yeah it has to do with Emi

86:58 stuff ah

87:02 yeah now we're just ending the W show on a sad note because someone somewhere is

87:07 going to buy it and they're going to think that they got a good deal well

87:11 mine doesn't hum as much because of the electrical magnetic interference

87:15 reduction of my SD card so therefore is

87:18 superior especially when I play it in my Pano player and when my computer is

87:23 hooked up via Ethernet cables that are specifically made for

87:28 audio my cables are very dancable that's

87:31 a good thing kill me now okay so 9 to5 Mac reports Pebble teases a new model

87:37 sources say thinner watch with color screen in the works um I really hope

87:42 Pebble actually manages to seed us a unit this time because I'm happy enough

87:46 with my gatr that I am not going to buy it this time so uh rumors are that

87:50 pricing will come in around the price of the Pebble Steel and it will be

87:54 initially sold via Kickstarter not Pebbles Retail Partners or official

87:59 website I mean that's kind of been their model it's not like they didn't start

88:03 their business on Kickstarter I go to I got to wonder if companies like Pebble

88:07 that have demonstrated the successive Kickstarter are probably getting a deal

88:11 from Kickstarter to continue to support the platform um in fact I wouldn't even

88:15 be that surprised if Kickstarter was paying them if Kickstarter was well

88:19 maybe not paying them but maybe throwing a lot behind it and kind of going yeah

88:22 we're not going to take a cut or we're going to take a very small cut maybe advertising or something yeah like I

88:27 would expect this to be more of a more of a trade now that pebble is the

88:31 monster that they are um well you can't really call Pebble

88:35 a monster but it's they've theyve they're fairly monstrous they're a big

88:39 deal now a lot of people know about Pebble they are they are a much bigger

88:42 deal than I would have ever expected a Kickstarter founded company to be and

88:47 yeah well they they're bigger than I would have ever expected it to be too I just mean they both are like I didn't

88:51 expect that kind of success out of it it's not happening nearly as much anymore

88:55 Kickstarter like especially the kickstarter Hardware guys Glory Days

88:58 seems to be largely gone it feels kind of like that whole uh see I don't even

89:03 remember what they're called anymore Groupon it feels like that whole Groupon

89:06 thing like Groupon made it big and everyone was really excited about it

89:10 they were huge they blew up a bunch of a bunch of uh copycats showed up and then

89:16 when's the last time you heard about a Groupon deal or similar like yeah not

89:21 they're still around they still exist you can still get good deals there and

89:24 there's all the different ones but no one cares anymore yeah so it's like the

89:27 the kickstarter fad seems to be mostly over um so I think that's pretty much it

89:32 thank you for watching The W show today like this video if you liked it dislike

89:36 it if you disliked it are we doing a thing a what thing an after thing after

89:41 are you doing stuff oh garage sale yeah uh yeah I am planning to do garage sale

89:44 today I actually didn't go find stuff for it yet so there might be a bit of a

89:48 delay but I'll be back it will be garage sale time I'm going to try and sell that

89:52 Mac again wish me luck with that yeah this problem

89:57 is like it was like it was like the Pano player last week was hilarious I was

90:01 like I can't tell you this thing is amazing because it's not but I spent

90:05 $400 on it so I'm in need I'm a need

90:08 someone to give me some money for it did you sell it yeah I got 190 bucks

90:14 shipping in so I had to pay shipping but

90:18 why did anyone buy it for that much for 190 bucks I don't know it's got a 64 gig

90:22 SD card in it so there's value ad I don't know if it's audio file

90:27 grade it's Emi is pretty bad I don't know did you hear that Emi on that Pano

90:32 player maybe that's why the Pano player lost funny story didn't have an

90:36 equivalent level SD card my neighbor again he met Neil Young oh like way back

90:40 in the 60s that's awesome yeah I shouldn't name any names but he he

90:45 didn't speak very charitably of him CU he mentioned he was like uh

90:50 because he used to he toured with the Guess Who like as a as like a like an

90:55 opening act or whatever what and I was like no way that's ridiculous I was like

91:00 you have got to be kidding me he's like yeah we were just like we never made it

91:03 big or anything but like me and me and some buddies we like we had a really

91:07 good Agent who got us into like all the parties so yeah I I met Neil Young and

91:12 like and he was telling me all these people he met and we finally arrived at Neil Young And I was like oh Neil Young

91:16 yeah I know who that is because I didn't know who a lot of the people were and he was like

91:21 oh he's like Chris Christ I'm like I

91:24 don't know man I know who that is okay well whatever so so um oh well so so he

91:31 finally got to Neil Young and I'm like yeah yeah Neil Young yeah we kind of burned him pretty bad on our show not

91:35 that long ago he's like oh yeah well he's a whatever

91:38 anyway so we got got to talking about that anyway I think that's it for the

91:42 show we'll be back with the with the garage sale in a little bit and thanks

91:46 for watching you guys are awesome roll the outro intro

91:52 thing H we had like seven ,000 live viewers today we

91:56 did you guys are good people I like you

92:00 you all have attractive butts regardless of that straw pole some of you don't

92:04 have attractive butts that's may be true

92:07 but I'll say that you do and you'll take a compliment because you're a good

92:12 person inside wow really that's what they did

92:17 that's terrible I am going to fire whoever did this it got worse cuz before

92:26 bigger for some
