damn it it looks like I have a hickey but it's actually just me scratching my
0:07
neck right before the show
0:10
started and on that uh on that note the show has now started welcome to the W
0:17
show oh this is awesome I messaged
0:21
Brandon about 10 minutes ago hey can I borrow you for a minute I'm at the W
0:25
show set and he pokes his head out the door as I'm recording the pre Show
0:30
starting bit deal and thinks that I'm live and goes back away and then I
0:36
message him right afterwards when I was done I'm like oh hey I'm ready for you
0:40
now it takes him like eight minutes to see it now he comes out I'm actually
0:43
live uh Brandon I just wanted you to have a look at the uh color temperature
0:47
of this light it looks off it's been on for quite some time is it
0:50
adjustable it's like there's like voodoo magic that goes on around here
0:54
adjustable color temperatures of Lights he's actually kickstarted some legit
0:59
timately color changing lights that are going to be like now you can adjust the
1:04
white point you can adjust the color point I'm clearly just stalling for time
1:08
while I wait for this uh dock to load up on my screen here but that's okay
1:12
because it's here now we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today Luke's
1:15
going to be joining me on the show very very shortly he's actually just
1:19
finishing up a video right behind me there hi yep he's there see that trust
1:25
me it is the actual the actual Luke do I look better now I'm like really bright
1:29
now but that's
1:33
okay that's fine don't worry about it Brandon it's all good so we got a lot of
1:37
great stuff for you guys today AMD's
1:41
ryen did I say it right this time ryen
1:45
has been detailed it's going to be octacore 2.4 GHz Dynamic overclocking we
1:51
will talk more about that for sure
1:54
Amazon's first Prime air delivery has
1:57
taken place Microsoft is bringing Cortana to fridges toasters thermostats
2:03
and Space Marine suits near you and
2:07
krych is sinking wages unpaid Talent leaving will
2:14
there be another crisis I mean yes but not with a Y so
2:21
let's go ahead and roll the intro which has no audio long story couldn't get it
2:26
working
2:30
do I'm going to use this time to post to
2:33
Facebook that we are starting the W
2:37
show only audio in the Left Channel yeah
2:41
how does that work how do these things change get a CRA in the right
2:46
channel who changes these
2:52
things um like 12 hold on a second wait what
3:00
how how how is this even
3:03
possible how is anything
3:07
that it doesn't even have the there's like a feature there's a feature in
3:11
xplit to to mix them together oh here we
3:14
go copy left to right let's try that it was on automatic um I don't know go go
3:19
try that go let me know why is life hard
3:23
just watch speaking of life being hard
3:26
um squar space makes it so that your life is not so hard if that is to say if
3:31
your life is making a website on Squarespace also I fix it which again
3:38
maybe doesn't make your life easier but does make your life
3:43
cheaper um which maybe came across wrong
3:47
but uh you you save money so there you
3:51
go you save money on your repairs so it's it's like it's harder to do it
3:55
yourself but you don't have to pay someone else to do it but it's easier
4:00
than if you didn't have the necessary to you know what I give up let's just let's
4:04
just cancel wo this week sick no I can't
4:08
do it no not because I'm sick no I meant
4:12
like no we're not canceling wo I'm back
4:15
I'm back all
4:19
right non-existent human figures his or
4:23
her left ear is now more used than his
4:26
or her right ear you know what I I take
4:30
no responsibility for any of that Brandon I think it looks fine now thank
4:34
you very much for your hard work um except for that bounce card that's what
4:38
I was getting oh okay thank you very much yes you may retrieve the bounce
4:42
card you know
4:45
Brandon and I had a deal we had a deal
4:50
when we moved into this Warehouse the deal was
4:55
that he would get his very own corner
5:00
of this 6,000 square foot space that I
5:04
acquired and if I allocated him that
5:07
corner I wouldn't have to deal with all of his crap all over the place that was
5:14
the deal that Covenant that Covenant
5:18
Brandon has been broken by you because he doesn't have his spot yet he okay the
5:24
only reason he doesn't have his spot is because it has taken him over a year
5:30
to get the set built in it he had a
5:33
budget from before we moved in I tried
5:37
brand to get that done I did what I could he just didn't get it
5:42
done um also oh I have some other things
5:45
that we just couldn't get done news for you guys this one's really exciting and
5:51
closely related to the audio issues that we had uh shortly before the show
5:57
started here so Focus right I don't know
6:00
if you're familiar with them but they make um we actually have one of their
6:04
dads here and the only reason we're not using it is because we've had issues
6:08
with our compressor and the microphone that we've had hooked up to it anyway
6:12
Focus right reached out to us and this is kind of funny they reached out about
6:16
doing a review of some of their gear and
6:19
I kind of went you know what I don't think that it is going to
6:27
um carry a lot of credibility in if I
6:30
come in and start reviewing like professional audio gear and they're like
6:36
oh setup is like pretty good yeah you know what so get out of here you're
6:40
you're supposed to be not on the show right now so so they're like oh why is that
6:46
and I go well you see we've got this live show and we can never get the uh we
6:52
can never get the audio working and it's
6:55
taken literally years and they kind of go oh well
7:00
we could help you with that and I'm like
7:03
well heck yeah so the plan right now is for them to come down here next week and
7:09
we are going to share with you guys all in one video everything that we've done
7:14
to improve W show over the last little
7:18
bit here so the new capture cards you've noticed actually for the last couple of
7:22
months we haven't had any capture issues um the new lighting setup that we've got
7:27
actually the lights themselves didn't change but it's really really quick to set up now which is pretty freaking cool
7:32
um we are completely redoing the Wow
7:35
Computer um so course A's giving us their new case and we're going to like
7:40
do up the wow PC and finally Focus right
7:44
is coming in to they are actually sending
7:49
technicians not just gear they were like yeah we can send you all the gear you
7:53
want I'm like that's great we have gear
7:56
that's really not the problem um so there sending us actual text either one
8:02
or two to come and not just set
8:05
everything up for us but actually show us how it all works so I'm super duper
8:11
excited and it is going to be freaking
8:15
awesome and uh with all these
8:18
improvements says John d03 why is the show still late well
8:23
today the show is late because I had the
8:27
brilliant idea of not working on the video I was supposed
8:32
to be working on today which is a review of the ASUS G20 which is freaking
8:37
awesome so far I mean reviews not out take take this as early Impressions okay
8:43
so uh let me let me just bring this um I thought I had the page up already yeah
8:46
here it is let's go ahead and screen share here um so this puppy right
8:51
here uh so take this as the early Impressions that it is the
8:57
g20cb man their name sucks
9:00
um but it's really small about 10 L I
9:05
think 9 and a half lers um it's got a
9:08
core i76700 in it and the model I've got has
9:13
a GTX 1080 with 512 gigs of SSD storage
9:18
and one terabyte of hard drive based storage and it is
9:24
unbelievably quiet for all the performance they have managed to pack in
9:29
that tiny little enclosure I'm really really impressed so far anyway so
9:34
instead of working on that I was like you know would be cool if I could find a
9:40
way to get OS 10 Sierra Running on a
9:43
legitimately powerful laptop so I was like I'm going to try and Hackintosh a
9:48
laptop today and I ran into a wide
9:51
variety of problems everything from Apple's download server uh being so slow
9:56
it took me an hour to download s 10
10:00
Sierra uh on a gigabit connection so so
10:04
there was that yeah there was the um I'm
10:08
doing it through unraid I'm actually doing it through a VM yeah because which
10:12
might actually be easier for you yes so I found as like step-by-step guide which
10:17
is pretty much what I need to do any Hackintosh stuff because I'm not an
10:20
experienced Hackintosh the the last time we did a Hackintosh thing I very closely
10:25
followed a step-by-step guide and still had problems yeah so um
10:30
uh what were some of the other problems I had today I I I oh yes right so the
10:34
the the guide was based on creating the Sierra installer on yed I believe or El
10:41
Capitan or something like that so the dis utility has changed and then I
10:46
wasn't able to create an image doing thing anyway the original image I
10:49
created was on a 64 gig USB drive so so
10:53
it was a 64 gig image because I'm an
10:56
idiot and like it was just it was one of those I'm in a rush so I'm doing things
11:01
that are dumb and it's not working very well types of days today those are
11:06
always brutal yeah um not that you'd know anything about that
11:11
today yep I like if I'm going to be under the
11:15
bus I'm pulling you down with me buddy oh that's fair I was trying to do a uh
11:20
I'm not going to tell you exactly what it is but I was trying to do a video on a laptop thing that I was doing it
11:25
included a laptop and I'm going to go back and keep working on it now but the
11:30
brightness was so low that trying to record it with the camera showed like
11:34
crazy flickering and then I was like I was the genius who came in and was like
11:39
hey why don't we just capture it on a separate device and
11:44
then uh yeah it doesn't have an HDMI port so VGA I don't think we have a
11:49
single VGA capture device all right so get get back to get back to what you're
11:53
doing all right all right all right everybody wants me to talk about AMD
11:57
ryzen which is not the same same as the rice in from Breaking Bad in that it
12:03
won't kill you um I am going to start with this so
12:10
first of all let's go ahead and hk5 was the original poster on the Forum
12:16
and the source for the article here was um videoc
12:21
cards.com here's a bunch of information
12:24
um I'm going to kick off with this that
12:28
name is
12:31
terrible they might as well have brought back
12:35
Duron as far as I'm concerned nobody is going to pronounce
12:42
that ryen it's
12:46
risen why are you and like why would you
12:49
even draw attention to something that
12:53
your fans have been in denial of for so
12:57
long why would you call the product
13:01
risen because let's face it it is not risen it is risen why would you call it
13:06
risen that is an admission that you had
13:10
fallen somewhere how many people are going to
13:13
be disappointed about that anyway from the look of things there's nothing to be
13:18
disappointed about spec wise so we've
13:22
got um here we go where's the uh
13:25
information on this page here we go
13:29
so the key info is here eight cores 16
13:34
threads 3.4 GHz plus they've done some
13:39
comparisons they've done some demos that lead us to believe it is something
13:44
similar to Broadwell in terms of the
13:48
performance per clock which would make this a very compelling CPU if it comes
13:55
in at the right kind of price 20 Megs of
13:58
level two level three cache an extended
14:01
frequency range so some kind of uh turbo
14:06
boost or like GPU boost like technology
14:10
that will reward users who are cooling the CPU well um fully automated
14:17
apparently with no user intervention required which is pretty cool okay so a
14:22
bunch of uh caching
14:25
stuff uh temperature speed and voltage monitoring it adaptively controls all of
14:31
that stuff in real time for lower power usage so that's cool fine grain
14:36
frequency control boost I mean the reality of it is there's not a whole lot
14:40
to say about a CPU um other than that like yes it's
14:46
fast and it's power efficient so as long as you've got that stuff nailed down
14:50
then if the price is right then uh you've got my attention here we go the
14:56
am4 platform this on honestly it is more
15:00
out ofd than AMD's existing CPUs from a
15:04
purely performance standpoint um that that no sorry am4 is not am3 plus was I
15:11
mean it was still PCI Express 2.0 for crying out loud
15:15
AMD has been building
15:18
gpus designed to work best on an Intel
15:23
platform for like three four years now
15:27
like a long long time so finally AMD is
15:32
bringing the platform up to date ddr4 and it looks like we're going to
15:37
get four slots there so dual Channel ddr4 by the look of things PCI Express
15:42
gen 3 USB 3.1 Gen 2 so 10 GB USB NVMe
15:49
SATA Express I guess uh AMD didn't get
15:53
the memo when they were working on am4 that SATA Express is completely dead in
15:57
the water but that's okay that's okay
16:00
they're still not going to have Intel exclusive Technologies like
16:05
Thunderbolt but I mean this is um this
16:09
is actually almost an entirely separate discussion for
16:14
wano does Thunderbolt matter much and you can look
16:22
at um you can look at a variety of different
16:27
indicators that tell us what industry
16:30
leaders think of Thunderbolt so
16:34
Apple equipped the latest MacBook Pro
16:38
with anywhere from two to on most SKS four Thunderbolt 3
16:43
ports but they also did this in a way
16:47
that to me indicates that they don't
16:51
they were just trying to give their users the the utmost in expandability
16:58
and flexibility moving forward in terms of what they can
17:02
plug into those ports because they're type-c
17:05
ports that support USB 3.1 Gen 2 so
17:09
that's 10 gbit Thunderbolt 3 so that's 40 gbit as well as HDMI uh DisplayPort
17:16
all that stuff so the idea was just like the ultimate versatility um like
17:21
simplifying life for the Mac User just you plug your power you plug your
17:25
display you plug anything into this and blah it just works
17:30
except for one thing Apple apparently didn't think the
17:35
actual Thunder three functionality was
17:39
important enough to bother to have their laptop work with any Thunderbolt 3
17:45
devices that are on the market I don't know if you guys have
17:49
been paying attention to this but go
17:52
shop for a Thunderbolt 3 peripheral
17:55
that's certified to work on the MacBook Pro you won't find one and the reason
18:01
for that and I cover this in my MacBook Pro review which is coming to YouTube I
18:04
think sometime next week something like that anyway my MacBook Pro review is
18:09
coming but I cover this and all the Thunderbolt 3 devices out there right
18:14
now are running a first generation Texas
18:17
Instruments chipset for USB power delivery and all that nonsense and apple
18:23
specifically locked out any devices
18:27
using that first generation chips set from working in OS 10 Sierra on the
18:33
MacBook Pro so you can you can boot
18:36
Windows you can boot camp into Windows
18:39
and you can run a razor core or we've got an aido external drive enclosure
18:45
that works just fine you plug it in an OS 10 nothing it doesn't even give you
18:50
an error it's not even like oh hey so
18:54
we're a bunch of like buttheads and we
18:57
decided not to validate for that older controller I suspect there's a reason it
19:00
might have to do with the um because it it's a like it's a power management like
19:05
it's a power delivery Circuit of some sort like it manage it might have
19:10
something to do with the way that the MacBook charges on any of the ports or
19:14
something um or it could have something to do with the fact that I believe it
19:19
also handles USB connectivity and it only handles uh USB 3.1 gen 1 speeds
19:25
like maybe it was like for the most seamless possible experience every
19:28
everything that works in this port is is 10 GB USB 3 or I don't know I'm trying
19:33
to find a reason for them but maybe Phil Schiller will post somewhere he'll talk
19:38
to The Verge and he'll say lonus is an idiot he got it wrong there's a thousand
19:42
reasons why this makes perfect sense but it works in Windows and it doesn't even
19:46
bother to give you an error message in OS 10 so so what this means what I'm
19:50
coming back to is Apple apparently thought it was important enough to put
19:55
on their laptop but didn't think it was important enough for there to actually
20:00
be any Thunderbolt devices that plug into it for like weeks after the
20:06
launch and maybe maybe they weren't wrong
20:13
because I was looking I was actually trying to find some Thunderbolt 3 docs
20:18
because I wanted to do like a Roundup or something on Amazon and that was when I
20:22
realized there was this whole issue because I couldn't find any and what I
20:27
realized was 99% of anything I could possibly want to
20:32
do on a laptop even highspeed external
20:35
storage at 10 gigabit I mean we're talking one Gigabyte per second there's
20:41
nothing 8K red footage doesn't require
20:46
more than one Gigabyte per second to a nice high performance USB type-c SSD
20:53
there's nothing that requires this and why would you want to plug anything into
20:56
it that wasn't first party Macintosh anyways really you came on to the show
21:01
to contribute that why are you even here
21:06
why why even B I'm bringing the hardcore arguments okay so anyway everything else
21:12
so there's uh my my dongle that it's not in my bag because I was actually doing
21:16
something on the the MacBook just a minute ago but I've got a dongle that
21:20
does SD micro SD HDMI three USB 3.0 I
21:24
think it's actually sweet and Power in pass through and I'm sitting here going
21:29
so that's like all the io that I would have already had on like a laptop that
21:34
has IO just like that and I've got and I've got three more yeah plus this
21:38
doesn't even have an SD card reader or Ethernet and I've got three oh yeah it
21:41
has Ethernet too it's a really cool adapter I'm going to have a video coming anyway and I've got three more that I
21:46
can plug in like a type-c to DisplayPort or type-c to another DisplayPort
21:50
bam now I've got dual external monitor I've still got one more so what do I
21:55
actually need Thunderbolt 3 for
21:59
and so I guess Apple kind of had the same thought is like what what is this
22:03
actually for what 99 I would even say
22:07
five% of users are ever going to plug in
22:10
to a MacBook Pro is handled just fine by
22:14
USB so bringing it all the way back to
22:18
AMD's platform not having support for
22:22
Thunderbolt 3 does that matter um
22:27
remains to be seen but I would speculate that it will only
22:31
affect some very very Niche edge cases
22:36
and most people won't care the main one
22:40
for me on a laptop is support for an
22:43
external GPU because I think that's the future as the price comes down for those
22:49
external GPU enclosures I mean alien wees is only a couple hundred bucks and
22:53
get less screwed up lot more reasonable and the intercompatibility
22:59
gets way better that to me is how people are
23:04
going to game in the future um it's just
23:07
like we're not there yet so in total yeah you think everyone's going to be on
23:11
laptops with external gpus I think to to
23:14
make a prediction like everyone will do anything would be shooting myself in the
23:19
Foot Right some large percentage someone's going to find this clip yeah
23:24
maybe even not a large percent percentage of people for a long time cuz
23:27
you got to think about the upgrade cycle right like people aren't going to want
23:31
to just throw out a perfectly functional computer and the rate at which CPU
23:35
performance is increasing there's a lot of very perfectly functional computers
23:40
that are 3 four years old at this point
23:44
but I think and especially looking at uh Sky Lake versus KB Lake the performance
23:48
increase we're seeing even on the laptop side of things I think people are going
23:53
to start to think about in the next two to three years gee this laptop I have is
23:58
like still pretty darn good I just wish I could game on it and those are going
24:03
to get cheaper and they're going to go this makes a ton of sense and people are
24:07
going to start to invest in it and Ed's doing a lot of gaming on his laptop
24:10
already MH so it's an interesting and like with with blades being able to play
24:15
like pretty much kind of everything y it's an interesting
24:19
idea all right so um there you guys have
24:23
it risen or Rising you know what I am
24:27
stubbornly calling it The tight XP forever I think I'm going to stubbornly
24:30
call it risen forever I think I think I'm going to
24:35
commit to that so uh you guys let me know in twitch chat if you uh if you if
24:40
you hate that but uh I don't think any of you will I think you guys are
24:45
probably going to be with me on this one all right what other important
24:50
topics do we have today the iPhone 6s
24:54
reportedly explodes post charging the
24:57
original article here is from yahoo.com that is a super big bummer for
25:02
Nick light who just bought my old iPhone 6s off me what a
25:07
loser and it's
25:11
pink oh I hate that guy
25:14
um so what what do we got in here Apple announced that it will be releasing an
25:18
iOS update next week that will allow them to better diagnose any battery
25:23
issues on December 6th reports of exploding iPhone surfaced in China uh
25:28
you know we do have to of course you
25:33
know take this with a grain of salt because there have been cases of
25:36
exploding iPhones in the past that and
25:40
again I'm making up statistics on the spot but it seems to me that well over
25:45
half of them have been caused by unauthorized thirdparty Chargers that
25:50
were doing a bad job of managing Apple's you know proprietary battery management
25:55
algorithm nonsense so let's kind of keep
25:59
an eye on this but allegedly the Shanghai consumer Council
26:05
has received eight separate reports of iPhones exploding adding that it had
26:10
seen a big Ryzen the number of complaints against iPhones in the past
26:14
two months uh on Friday an iPhone 6s started
26:19
spewing immediately after it was unplugged from charging then went up in Flames I'm assuming smoke is missing
26:24
from that sentence in my notes um Apple blames the problem on ambient air during
26:29
the manufacturing process said the problem is limited to a small number of
26:34
iPhone 6s devices manufactured between September and October
26:42
2015 up FPS not the pink 128 gig
26:47
ones uh moving on to our next topic this was was originally posted by dat speed
26:52
on the Forum Facebook is now partnering with
26:56
fact Checkers to stop fake news the
27:00
original article here is from The
27:04
Verge and uh basically they're they're
27:07
creating some new tools for report reporting hoaxes and um as much as
27:12
they've denied any responsibility for having any kind of effect on the outcome
27:17
of the 2016 US election it seems as
27:21
though internally at least they are taking very seriously what others are
27:26
alleging and that is that they did have an effect so in a nutshell here's what
27:33
they're doing they've got tools that are designed to make it easier to report
27:37
links shared in the news feed as fake news and they're working with four
27:42
independent factchecking organizations to assess the accuracy of viral stories
27:48
Snopes PolitiFact ABC News and fact
27:53
check.org Facebook users who share a story that's been marked as false will
27:58
be warned that independent fact Checkers have disputed its accuracy Facebook will
28:03
use a variety of signals to identify stories that are likely to be false so
28:08
this includes stories that people post but later delete and also includes lots
28:13
of comments about them being fake they will use these and other signals to
28:17
populate a dashboard of dubious stories and factchecking partners will get
28:22
access to the dashboard they will then investigate the article's claims and
28:26
Market as disputed and linked to their their own article debunking it if at
28:30
least two factchecking organizations Mark a story is disputed users will
28:35
begin seeing a banner under the article if it appears in their Newsfeed and
28:39
we've got a picture of what that Banner would look like so here we go let me
28:44
just blow that up for you guys disputed by third-party fact
28:49
Checkers uh what else is going on here yeah uh so Facebook's product management
28:54
lead Adam masseri said they are focusing their efforts on the worst of the worst
28:59
uh clear hoaxes spread by spammers for
29:02
their own gain uh they also said they're
29:06
doing more to eliminate Financial incentives behind fake news so we'll
29:10
also prevent Publishers that use spoof domains like BuzzFeed feed.com or ABC
29:16
newsom.com
29:28
um you know the how do I put this I'm
29:32
trying to stay more apolitical on the show so certain people seem to be
29:40
impervious to here I'll put it in quotes facts
29:46
presented by Outlets that they have been
29:49
convinced somehow um are out to lie to them about
29:55
everything and you know what depending on which way your political
30:00
leanings go you could interpret that from either side so I think I've stayed
30:04
fairly safe here but basically it's a
30:08
it's it's it's a wellestablished phenomena that's going on right now
30:14
phenomenon yeah it's just one um that
30:17
there are these Echo Chambers on the right and the left and that no one seems
30:23
to even even if sort of a an
30:27
untrustworthy news source on one side or the other were to say something that was
30:32
factual there's this inherent distrust
30:35
that exists so I sincerely doubt that
30:41
any kind of warning under a an article
30:45
in a Newsfeed would really do much of
30:48
anything to cause the reader to not
30:52
believe it and if anything I think this is just going to create anger to Awards
30:58
Facebook for being part of the leftwing
31:02
liberal media dishonest whatever um or
31:06
the other side as it were if there are fake stories that uh you know if
31:11
someone's feet is just full of a bunch of stuff that Facebook's flagging as news as or as fake and they trust all
31:17
these news sources I think it's going to create distrust towards Facebook as
31:23
opposed to um the other way around but I
31:26
would love to be wrong about
31:30
this so
31:34
yeah yeah got a lot twitch chat twitch
31:38
chat is um wow twitch chat is not encouraging me
31:43
they are basically um they're basically going yep
31:49
sounds about right people are going to believe what they want to believe so
31:53
there's that um yeah we've got people saying hey
31:57
if it's if it's worthy of being flagged as clearly fake it should be removed but
32:03
then you're going to have you know the the the free spe the people who don't
32:08
quite understand
32:12
um the difference between the right to
32:15
free speech and the right to say whatever you want in a private Forum
32:20
you're going to have those people raising heck and and all that stuff so
32:25
uh this is a great question what about the onion
32:29
um you know W it's a great question like
32:33
I personally probably wouldn't click on
32:37
a satirical news story like something
32:41
that the onion would produce if it was flagged as fake news do they classify
32:47
satire separately could fake news outlets hide
32:52
behind satire these are all great questions and this is a very um this is
32:57
a very this is very challenging water that Facebook is heading into I'm glad
33:01
they're doing something but um I really think they're
33:06
going to have a hard time finding a middle ground that doesn't irk many many
33:10
of their users I mean the good news for Facebook is they're in a position of
33:13
power to do something like this where what else is there they're basically a
33:19
social network Monopoly it's like out of a hundred
33:24
friends you know 10 of them might have WhatsApp three of them might have Google
33:29
Hangouts 15 of them might have Twitter and I'm making up these numbers don't
33:33
quote me on these numbers but like 95 of
33:37
them probably have Facebook even if they
33:40
don't use it super regularly so there you go it's like it's like the modern
33:45
White Pages it's like you probably are
33:48
listed on Facebook unless you like specifically went out of your way to
33:52
contact the white pages and you know get
33:57
your number removed basically like
34:01
that people are like we want
34:04
Luke they want you Luke so that's one
34:08
thing I have in common with our viewers you're just GNA step in and
34:13
contribute something completely worthless to my topic once again yeah
34:17
what are you talking about right now is that what you're up to no I'm not talking about anything I'm not talking
34:20

38:41
for a moment
38:56
here restarting the computer took forever 2 minutes and 13 seconds to be
39:01
exact to go from clicking the restart button to having Firefox up on the line
39:05
of tech tips page and it didn't really get much better from there lo loading
39:09
foxit took a very long time to the point where I was worried that it wasn't going
39:13
to function at all steam I was actually 100% convinced
39:18
I'm failing on the way
39:23
that's restarting the computer took forever from pressing the restart button
39:28
to having Firefox loaded with the lus Tex homepage on it took 2 minutes and 1
39:33
I could also go all ASMR on this maybe
39:37
we'll do the whole next topic like
39:42
this kch is sinking wages unpaid Talent
39:48
leaving so the original poster for this was Patrick JP 93 on the Forum now there
39:56
have been rumors rling around cry Tech
39:59
makers of Far Cry Crisis crisis 2 Crisis
40:03
3 and cry engine I'm pretty sure they
40:06
did other things too but there's at least that going for them about there
40:10
being all kinds of instability wages unpaid but they've denied it and denied
40:14
it and denied it and uh things had
40:18
actually returned to stability until I'm
40:21
talking about something else get out of here what so things had been financially
40:25
stable at krych until until June of this year around that time krych Frankfurt
40:31
office discovered that they weren't going to be paid on time the upper
40:34
management ensured employees that all financial problems would be worked out
40:38
by August 2016 and that there would be enough money to remain stable for at
40:42
least 18 months payroll was two weeks
40:46
late for July and August September came and payroll was five weeks late wages
40:51
for October and November have yet to be paid December's pay is due in about 3
40:57
weeks time kit Guru reports that their Source says there has been no indication
41:02
of financial issues until June of this
41:05
year uh but those still at the Frankfurt office have submitted a legal letter to
41:10
management informing them that if wages for October November in December aren't
41:14
paid in full by the end of next week they will stop working those at The
41:18
Budapest Studio have apparently already stopped turning up to work the company
41:22
has about 700 employees though it's hard
41:26
to say if they actually have those employees if they aren't
41:30
paying them if I stopped paying you guys would I still have
41:35
you uh I
41:39
mean thanks for that burkel me when I first work was like
41:44
below minimum wage so I that wasn't for lonus Media Group
41:49
lonus Media Group accepts no responsibility for any of
41:55
that all right um oh sponsors I got to
41:59
talk sponsors right now Squarespace Squarespace is the place to go if you
42:05
think that websites are places can a website be a place sort of
42:10
okay on the internet so web space webspace webspace Squarespace is the
42:15
place to go on the internet if you want to build yourself a fantastic looking
42:19
website and do it on the Cheap on the
42:23
easy and on the fast yes my friends
42:26
cheap fast and easy those are definitely
42:30
not the talking points that are in my uh my document here but that's okay
42:35
sometimes I go off script and sometimes I don't get fired Squarespace lets you
42:41
pick from any one of their beautiful templates basically plunk in some text
42:45
and some images rearrange some stuff it's all done through like a Cloud Web
42:49
interface uh you can set up a store you
42:53
can set up like a onepage presence in like a matter of minutes which is your
42:57
favorite way to do logo designer no it's actually not my point is that you canet
43:02
not that you should at lus G Sebastian so his personal account you should flood
43:07
his personal account why are you doing this to me with onepage websites that
43:12
you think are just the best it'll basically be like his great the greatest
43:17
yeah the best websites you have actually
43:21
contributed like in a below zero
43:25
manner to the quality of today's show speaking of which and this is a show
43:30
that had no audio in the intro and Audio
43:33
Only in the Left Channel for the first four minutes speaking of which that is
43:37
where you're at today I think you should do the rest of the sponsor spots ASMR no
43:41
you can't because then that would bring up my audio too and that would suck okay
43:45
I'm waiting I have to do a pickup thing but it's cool I'm here now so
43:49
Squarespace you've got me is available
43:52
to anyone who wants to spend a few bucks a month anybody and have a great website
43:57
and it's got responsive design so it works on your phone your and on your
44:02
laptop consoles and on your yeah I guess there's no reason there's no reason it
44:06
wouldn't probably a Nintendo DS so when you sign up for Squarespace make sure to
44:11
use offer code when to get 10% off your first purchase and if all of you do it
44:17
right now after watching this sponsorship spot then maybe you won't
44:23
have to listen to these Squarespace spots ever again
44:27
because whenever we do them in the future no new people will sign up
44:32
because everyone in our audience will already have a Squarespace website think
44:36
about that for a moment and go sign up for Squarespace today it's a trick I got
44:42
you I got you that's actually how that would work
44:46
though it's like yeah lonus you know I
44:49
mean it's great that you one really good day and now we're just not going to pay
44:54
you anymore yeah cuz you're clearly done y everyone on Earth has a Squarespace
44:59
website now so the gig's up there's no more advertising to be done all right um
45:05
let's move on to iFixit ifixit.com is
45:08
the place to go if you want to repair your electronics phones tablets Allin
45:14
ones monitors even they've got all kinds of amazing quality guides for how to fix

45:26
or getting rid of it and they've got the allnew iFix it essential Electronics
45:32
tool kit which my personal Vana over here is showing you guys it doesn't have
45:37
all the stuff that their prot Tech tool kit does which I love by the way I love
45:41
Protech tool kit it doesn't have as many bits it doesn't have as many pry tools
45:46
it doesn't have as many you know uh it doesn't oh it doesn't have the new
45:50
screwdriver which really is a lot better than the old screwdriver though the old
45:54
one's like it's not terrible it's just the new one really is a lot better but
45:58
it is a lot cheaper it only costs 20
46:02
bucks and with offer code W show you can
46:05
save five bucks off a purchase of $10 or more so you can get this puppy for 15
46:11
bucks plus shipping and you can start saving money and repairing your old
46:16
stuff today it's got really most of the
46:19
basics that you'll need so your slot your um your Tores and your security
46:25
Tores it's got your Stars so those can
46:28
come in handy it's got a yeah it's got one of the their prying actually a
46:32
handful of their prying guitar picks it's got their suction cup uh that's
46:35
great for removing displays from some more stubborn modern phones really oh
46:41
and it's got their ESD safe tweezers the only one that I ever use really like
46:45
that one so pick one up you won't regret it it actually costs less than dropping
46:50
your phone off in a shop and having someone replace your battery for you to
46:54
just get your own set of tools and pro tip with our offer code which works if
46:58
you spend at least $10 20 I think $20 10 no 10 yeah this is
47:03
$20 if you spend at least $10 you get $5
47:07
off so this is essentially $15 are you being useless on purpose today how is
47:11
that useless I just said that you didn't realize did
47:21
you I fixing kits discounted with our offer code go
47:26
away can do this better myself is there
47:30
another sponsor spot no okay I need you to ASMR fine you got to get real close
47:36
up in there hey I found a guitar pick here's a present thank you no problem
47:41
I'm here for you Western Digital is
47:44
announcing high capacity 12 tbte and 14
47:49
tbte helium filled hard drives the original article here is
47:55
extreme.com and oh I am not in the corner of that anymore but don't worry
48:00
about it this ad's going to go away pretty freaking fantastic so the 12 tbte
48:06
is an eight freaking platter design
48:10
eight platters in there and the 14 tbte
48:14
is a shingled magnetic recording design
48:17
so the 12 TB is going to actually perform significantly
48:21
better but like holy crap I have spent
48:26
some time with seates archive drives which are also shingled magnetic
48:30
recording drives and they're like
48:33
actually not that bad for archival use
48:36
and 14 terab per disc would mean that in
48:41
something like um a storinator 60 I mean
48:45
what does that freaking Math Workout to you'd be able to put so 60 drives 60
48:51
drives you'd be able to put 60 terabytes plus another 40% of that so oh that
48:57
would be another 12 so you'd be able to put 72 freaking terabytes in a single
49:02
storinator
49:06
xl60 unreal I mean never mind it being
49:11
absolutely terrifying that if one of your driv dies like if you are actually
49:16
using these in a desktop that you could lose anywhere from 12 to 14 terabytes of
49:21
data but uh of course that's just the usual very strong argument for not just
49:27
redundancy but backups so there you
49:32
go um yeah I guess that's pretty much all
49:36
there is to say about that Amazon's
49:40
first Prime air can I talk louder Amazon's first Prime air delivery
49:47
has happened it's official it was posted
49:50
by Pig hammer on the Forum the original article here is from kit guru.net and
49:57
here it is it happened December 7th
50:01
2016 fully autonomous hold on let me mute that volume there it's a two-minute
50:05
video so we're not going to watch the whole thing but like blah blah blah
50:09
there's some footage blah blah blah something something Fire TV of course
50:14
they ordered a Fire TV because they wanted one of those and there's a drone
50:19
and there's presumably another drone taking videos of the drones drone while
50:22
you drone so you can drone while you drone fulfilled there it is in the yard
50:28
wow freaking future man freaking future
50:33
I am like super excited about
50:37
this like super excited anyone outside of a fairly dense urban center I'd
50:42
imagine this isn't going to benefit them for quite some time but uh man the idea
50:48
of not just from like a consumer standpoint of it would sure be cool if I
50:54
could order crap under 2 kg crap under 2
50:58
kilog and uh so there's two customers
51:02
taking place in the trial right now due to the fact that they live close enough to the Fulfillment center so as long as
51:07
you live close enough to a fulfillment center and your order is under 2 kilograms I'm super excited to be able
51:13
to receive stuff within like potentially
51:16
hours or even minutes of ordering it because that's like super amazing as a
51:21
consumer but I am also excited from just
51:25
a like an efficiency standpoint I mean
51:30
compared to sending a truck to your
51:33
house to deliver like a pack of
51:36
batteries like think about the
51:41
efficiency of being able to use a little
51:44
electrically powered device to to do the
51:47
last the last mile because there's a huge variety of ways that they could
51:51
deploy this like Amazon could just have a truck kind of drive out to some you
51:57
know intelligently you know determined
52:01
optimized point and you know kind of like in Phantom Menace sorry I shouldn't
52:06
be talking about Phantom Menace we all agreed not to talk about
52:10
that movie I'm sorry anyway like in that
52:14
movie uh where the the droids like slide out of the back of the tank thing and
52:18
they like deploy and then they don't deploy in the air because they're
52:22
walking droids because you know for some reason they thought that would be a good
52:26
idea anyway um there there's there's a
52:29
hundred different ways that they could make it so that delivery to people's
52:33
homes could be less environmentally impactful and just generally more
52:37
efficient than it is today using this
52:40
kind of technology so that is super
52:43
duper exciting um I mean yeah you look at the more
52:49
traditional way of getting goods and it is inherently more efficient than having
52:53
a Distribution Hub and then vehicles
52:56
driving out like a like a a spoken wheel type system out from there to drop off
53:01
to individual customers because you would carry you know pallets at a time
53:06
of stuff like milk for example so while
53:10
yes the consumer is effectively doing the same thing where they are driving
53:14
their individual car to and from like some kind of a of a hub they are picking
53:19
up more than one thing at a time and they're usually like if they're if
53:23
they're clever consumers they're consolidating their trips so the grocery
53:27
store gets a Consolidated large shipment of eggs or milk or whatever the case may
53:32
be and then the consumer comes and buys eggs and milk and you know this weird
53:36
little container in the shape of a Goldfish cracker that fits Goldfish
53:39
crackers in it because his kids wouldn't shut up about it and they wanted it so
53:43
badly and it was only like
53:46
$3 not that I'm speaking about from personal experience on that last
53:51
one all right um twitch introduces
53:57
automod a self-learning moderation tool
54:01
so this was posted on the Forum by novas
54:05
ball in the original article is from kit guru.com and they are going to be using
54:10
machine learning to help police chat
54:13
this has got to be one of the best things that I've seen come out of the
54:18
Amazon acquisition of twitch so far we
54:22
have actually put a fair bit of work into our own moderation bot and it is
54:29
baffling to me that twitch had not invested in this kind of thing before so
54:34
automod will be a chatbot that uses machine learning and natural language
54:39
processing to police chat rooms it is not entirely intended to replace human
54:44
moderators and twitch Line's tagline for the announcement is moderators are the
54:48
sword automod is The Shield which is
54:52
super lame I think that's pretty cool it
54:56
is you know how it
54:59
works you automod works so twitch notes
55:02
that streamers can configure automod by selecting one of four different levels
55:06
so these levels affect how aggressively automod holds back messages under four
55:11
categories identity sexual language
55:15
aggressive speech and profanity when
55:18
automod Flags a message it lets the original sender know that moderators
55:21
will review the message's contents before it sent to chat meanwhile the
55:25
message is shown to mods for approval so
55:28
yes their slogan makes sense it's just
55:32
lame that's all and we can agree to
55:35
disagree on this if you want
55:39
okay speaking of twitch and streaming
55:43
this is kind of a big deal I mean League of Legends is getting reported on in the
55:47
Wall Street Journal League of Legends Esports contests lure newest fan Major
55:52
League Baseball 10 cents Riot games in a $300
55:57
million deal with MLB unit to stream
56:02
competitive video gaming so now Major
56:05
League Baseball and the NBA are getting
56:08
involved in Big League Gaming so bam
56:12
Tech was spun into its own company from Major League Baseball and Disney as well
56:18
as the National Hockey League oh sorry from Major League Baseball Disney as
56:22
well as the National Hockey League own a part of it according to Wall Street
56:26
Journal the agreement calls for bam Tech to pay a minimum 300 million through
56:31
2023 to Riot games in return they'll get exclusive
56:36
rights to stream and monetize the company's popular multiplayer online
56:40
battle arena game bam Tech plans to
56:43
launch a League of Legends streaming service with apps for smartphones PCS
56:46
and other devices they will also handle Distribution on existing streaming
56:50
portals like twitch and YouTube gaming
56:55
wow unreal holy actual freaking
57:00
crap speaking of unreal holy actual freaking crap Microsoft is bring Cortana
57:04
to fridges toasters and thermostats so
57:08
just in case you were thinking that um
57:12
you needed to be able to talk to your
57:16
toaster you will be able to do that soon
57:19
assuming you get some kind of supported
57:23
device though to be perfectly honest and
57:27
I would I would love to hear from you guys in the twitch chat on
57:30
this I have never been compelled to
57:35
replace an appliance for any reason
57:38
other than my old one broke are you guys on the same page with
57:42
me here like is anyone going like yeah I
57:46
like super duper need the what what
57:50
could I possibly want my oven to do
57:53
other than what it does already like 5 years from now what what if you could
57:58
leave a bag of popcorn in your microwave
58:02
before you go to work and then you walk into your door and just say hey
58:08
microwave make that popcorn and it's just ready in in two
58:14
minutes preheating your oven before home
58:17
why would you want to preheat your oven before you're home because when you get
58:20
home and you want to make something your oven's already you still preheat it by
58:24
the time you get home it's already preheated by the time you finished preparing the thing that goes in the
58:28
oven it's already preheated not not if it's a frozen
58:32
pizza yeah boom kind of example that I was you guys
58:38
are giving me so much cancer right now
58:42
um so so okay thermostat fine
58:46
intelligent thermostat sure um but honestly it's
58:52
going to be the same problem as it always is when where like you've got
58:57
your nest thermostat already because you're the kind of tech junkie that buys
59:02
Internet of Things devices you've got your Linus lock which is a thing by the
59:07
way you've got your you know uh
59:11
Samsung Smart fridge that you can bet
59:15
your bottom dollar they're not going to care about putting Cortana on and then
59:19
you've got your Cortana toaster and none of it is going to work together at all
59:25
so it's just stupid and pointless so 5 10
59:31
years from now when everyone gets over their egos and there's actually some
59:36
kind of cohesive ecosystem I'm still calling it The iHome okay where Apple
59:42
just does the whole thing themselves then you'll have my attention but for
59:46
now and like Okay and like when a smart fridge comes out that actually has like
59:51
cameras all over the inside that keeps track of like like not not just cameras
59:57
like it needs to be able to like scan my milk my Milk Carton and know how full it
60:02
is and stuff like when that fridge exists I'm down but until then I super
60:08
don't care and neither do a lot of
60:11
people um all
60:15
right this is great uh so this was originally posted by oh no one on the
60:20
Forum the original article here is from Mac Rumors Apple will apparently charge
60:26
$69 to replace um hold on a second blah blah
60:32
blah blah blah blah blah here we go so battery service will be $49 each on
60:38
airpods out of warranty $69 each and if you lose an airpod they will charge $69
60:44
which is only slightly less than half of
60:48
the price of airpods in the first place if I recall correctly though I haven't
60:52
actually gone and bought them yet and I don't remember because I am an idiot so
60:57
let's go ahead no I don't want apple.ca no one knows Canadian dollars
61:04
so if I talk about things in terms of Canadian dollars I'm just shooting
61:07
myself in the foot I thought they were no they're 159 okay so it's still only a
61:12
little less than half of one
61:16
um yeah what is there to say about it other than that I guess I will be
61:20
reviewing the airpods so they went on
61:23
sale Tuesday Morning uh the earliest I'm able to get them is Sunday Apple stores
61:29
in Canada are going to get them so I'm actually I'm coming in on Sunday
61:33
burkel's coming in on Sunday Tyler's going to be helping us out and we are
61:37
going to be slamming together so I've already got all of my other wireless
61:41
headphones like charged up firmware updated ready to rock I've got the
61:45
braggy dash I've got the uh jbird
61:48
freedoms and then I've got some regular ear pods with the lightning connector
61:53
and I'm going to be whipping together a video for you guys that's going to be
61:56
coming out on Sunday um I can already I've never heard them before but I'm
62:01
pretty sure I can already tell you how it goes um they're expensive they sound
62:06
like okay I guess uh they don't stay in your ears as well as some other
62:11
Solutions and I don't personally feel like the the absence of a cable in
62:15
between them contributes much to the experience but if you want to watch that
62:19
again but longer with Glam footage then Sunday will be the time
62:26
yes sir spefic video on installing Windows a video on installing Windows
62:31
specific one like is there a tech or is there like how install there's an NCIX
62:35
Tech tips so you could do that
62:42
okay all right oh this is exciting posted on the Forum by dat speed LG is
62:48
taking a 4K HDR monitor with USBC to CES
62:54
HDR is is coming finally so AMD has got
62:59
support for HDR I actually don't know
63:02
about NVIDIA's HDR status ASMR time
63:06
again no content you want to ASMR about HD yeah yeah I'm doing it all right
63:10
there's there's like no content um actually my 4K Blu-ray is it worth it
63:15
video is coming to YouTube very soon as well uh should be a really good video if
63:20
you're interested in HDR but um in a
63:23
nutshell um 4K Blu-ray does not run on a PC so there's there's really other than
63:29
content creation I guess there's really not much reason to care about HDR on the
63:34
PC but damn it it's coming and I'm going
63:37
to be trying to get one of these from LG like ASAP because I think it would be
63:42
flipping bananas to have like float
63:46
planing club now with better streaming quality than
63:50
YouTube and with HDR which nobody will be using
63:57
also actually oh this is another very
64:01
important announcement for you guys it's
64:04
official as of today we are going
64:07
red we were looking at our uh looking at
64:10
our accounting books it's almost year end so uh this is the time for us to
64:15
make any kinds of you know key Investments but um we had an internal
64:21
meeting and we kind of went okay we've got some equipment budget
64:25
left over for this year let's talk about some stuff we need to do so we're going
64:29
to be changing up the LTD set and we are
64:32
uh it came up that a big mission for us
64:36
is to have float playing Club streaming quality be better than any other
64:42
streaming video quality on the web and we kind of went
64:46
okay how are we going to achieve that shooting on a Sony
64:51
fs5 so sometime in mid January our order
64:55

64:59
cameras a red weapon with 8K sensor and
65:03
a Red Epic w we are going to be getting new lenses and we are going to be going
65:09

65:25
let's be the first ones to 4K and let's get an external recorder and let's do
65:29
this and let's do that but we'd allowed oursel to fall behind a little bit and
65:34
we are not going to let that happen anymore we are moving
65:39
into a red ecosystem so uh stay tuned
65:43
for that guys it is going to be a bit of a learning curve for us but it is going
65:47
to result in some seriously sharp looking
65:52
videos all right
65:56
is there much else that's important here saw F
65:59
theow oh he's still
66:02
going so the Microsoft Surface Hub was originally posted by Al 2000 on the
66:08
Forum the original article here is from RS Technica let's go ahead and pop that
66:13
up but the surprise Hardware hit the
66:17
surface Hub apparently the conference
66:20
room computer is now a billion dooll business business
66:25
are you freaking kidding me I saw this thing and I went wow that's a really
66:30
cool proof of concept that's pretty neat
66:33
I didn't think they'd actually sell that many of them it went on sale earlier
66:38
this year so the conference Grom computer uh it's so the surface range of
66:42
touchscreen computers is getting a whole lot bigger the surface Hub is it's like
66:47
an all-in-one system so it has one note Skype for business office and Universal
66:52
Windows apps and it puts it in the conference room it's a single integrated device
66:56
they first showed it off in January um it includes dual 1080p
67:01
cameras for video conferencing they run a special version of Windows 10 uh the
67:06
big one supports an 84 in 120 HZ 3840 X
67:09
2160 screen packs a fourth generation Intel Core i7 paired with an NVIDIA
67:14
Quadro k2200 graphics card and the smaller one is 55 in 120 HZ 1080p uses a
67:20
core I 5 they've both got 128 gig SSD
67:23
it's eight gigs of RAM they don't just replace a whiteboard but a projector as
67:27
