how the waters are completely melted hello oh we're uh now we're now we're
0:08
encoding frames there we go yeah welcome to the the pot show pool show melted
0:15
melted iceing condensation show The W show live streaming to you here from
0:21
beautiful melted ice and condensation show yeah well that condensation can um
0:27
melt if if wano ever lands on an April fools we should just change what the
0:31
show is about and be super hardcore about whatever it is yeah it could be
0:34
like the chicken show like all the latest news about chickens chickens
0:40
chicken farming chicken breeding is chicken breeding chicken
0:44
farming whoa cuz you like you like sew
0:48
chickens and then you harvest chickens what's what's what's effectively well
0:52
it's animal husbandry yeah yeah that's
0:55
right welcome to the animal husbandry and farming show we've got a lot of
0:58
great topics for you guys to today including uh NVIDIA's GTX 1000 I didn't
1:03
know if you were ready for that one you took that from me also some bad news
1:07
about the GTX 1080 with respect to SLI
1:11
if you're super hardcore into having like lots of graphics cards yes or not
1:17
that bad news but we'll talk about that later um Oxford study finds that virtual
1:22
reality can help treat severe paranoia which is sweet and the hyperloop one
1:28
shows us how fast we could get from here
1:31
to there kind of more at 11 also known
1:36
as now we'll see
1:44
is oh I am so
1:49
sweaty just sitting here everything about me is damn I look like a different
1:54
person unless you look under my then
1:58
it's okay
2:01
old only
2:08
under all right so NVIDIA's 1000 series
2:13
oh I was just going to say it has been a
2:16
freaking week yep he went to the
2:19
unveiling of the GTX 1080 and 1070 why
2:24
did they call it the 1080 yeah do they
2:27
enjoy creating confusion like I the whole time I was like okay no one's
2:32
confused yet but I've only talked to like reviewers and like Tech heads and
2:36
then I talked to Taran and he was like wait does that mean it's a 1080 card or
2:41
a 4K card can it play 4K games and I'm like oh damn it and people are going to
2:46
walk into a store okay and you're going to have a big box sales rep and they're
2:50
going to say I want to buy a 1080 and
2:53
they're going to be like LG Samsung
2:58
ASUS and custom going to be like uh
3:02
Samsung's a good brand I'll have a 1080 Samsung and uh that's going to be bad
3:08
because that's not going to be what they meant to buy and it's going to be a big
3:14
problem wow I think that was one of the monkeys that's a monkey so for those of
3:18
you doubting that we are actually in a jungle um that sound effect could not
3:24
possibly have been pre-recorded and added into the stream after the fact and
3:28
we've got a doubter that we're even live right now this yeah we've got hold on
3:34
hold on let me let me scroll back up for a second shots going Jester
3:39
61 come on you are you are the real Jester we are live oh my goodness we are
3:44
live no one no one we get this all the
3:47
time oh you guys aren't live all right well we're going to tell you live like
3:51
every show about the GTX 1080 so let me just uh original poster here is oh
3:55
apparently no one so I'm going to pull up the original article here from Anon
3:58
Tech get this on the screen Luke was there though he doesn't need an
4:02
article from a nonch walk us through what you experienced so uh one thing
4:08
that I want to address like immediately because I think this is really important
4:11
is because uh it it it sounds awesome the performance sounds great people
4:15
aren't benchmarking it yet you'll maybe hear about that later
4:21
super ambiguous no real details thing but yeah no like user benchmarks
4:27
happened yet um but they did claim two
4:30
times the performance of a Titan X and three times the efficiency of a Titan X
4:35
power efficiency uh that I did have a little
4:38
caveat there that was VR specifically and we'll get more into it later there's
4:42
like a software thing that they're doing that's allowing them to get more performance in VR which is still
4:47
interesting to me as someone who definitely has a Vive in the mail not in
4:51
the mail yet but soon to be in the mail and talking to some of the NVIDIA guys
4:56
after the event uh jay2 cense and I were like yo you didn't talk about dx11 or 12
5:02
at all because honestly in their press event I didn't see enough people complaining about this they didn't
5:07
mention those performance metrics once
5:10
so we asked them what was going on there and they said it should be 25
5:15
205% faster than two 980s or a 980ti or
5:21
a tiex which makes sense because I mean if you look at the specs it's like yeah
5:25
it's got a lot more clock speed yeah it's on a new process node n but they
5:31
are pulling the same thing that they've now done for three generations including
5:36
this one where they released their second from the top tier chip which
5:42
traditionally would have been like if you go all the way back to the 400
5:47
series that traditionally would have been a
5:50
460 okay like the equivalent die siiz
5:54
chip um so they're releasing that as a highend and then they're going to follow
5:58
it up presumably with I can never keep track of yeah with a GP 100 so GP 104
6:05
yes so the the 1080 and the 1070 are GP
6:08
104s and the presumably Titan whatever
6:13
Titan y Titan yellow Titan Mexico Titan
6:17
Mexico Edition I don't know um cuz it's hot oh snap so whatever that is and the
6:24
1080 TI and whatever else possibly will
6:27
be the GP 100 by the way I finally figured it out cuz I was like they
6:33
always have these letters in the code names okay it's gForce
6:39
Kepler numbers oh my God GeForce Maxwell
6:44
numbers that's why the uh that's why the
6:48
that's why the P 100 isn't GP 100
6:52
because it's just Pascal 100 it is not
6:55
the gamer skew oh my God that makesense
7:01
finally glued me into it so that's why did you figure that out or did you read that somewhere no I was just thinking
7:04
about it I was like okay so it's called GP 104 now I get to remember another
7:08
stupid I don't I don't know if so that's GF fery gForce F I got you yeah it but
7:13
finally makes it all lines up I am an idiot anyway the chat's probably telling
7:17
us we're dumb I know here it comes it's
7:20
always with the time always with the time
7:23
delay uh all right what else you got from the event there okay so there was
7:27
four major features so you guys know most of the specs it was 8 GB gddr5x fed
7:33
over 2 gz and that was on the 1080 and then it
7:38
was 8 gbes still but gdr 5 which is
7:42
probably completely fine GD wait no it's not GD 70 oh 1070 1070 is just 8 GB of
7:48
gddr5 but that's probably completely fine we'll get benchmarks of that at
7:53
some point yeah I don't know when sorry
7:57
um sorry I had some paperwork caught in my throat oh oh oh oh Sly
8:03
um but one quote that they have is that
8:06
the GTX 1080 and presumably 1070 is
8:10
built to make the most of today's multim monitor setups curved screens and
8:14
head-mounted displays and that's like a
8:17
thing the reason why they brought that up was simultaneous multi-projection which is something that they've been
8:21
working on where they can and they've had stuff like this in the past but this
8:25
is much more so they're they're making it so that they can r under more than
8:30
one like viewing angle at once so
8:33
basically if you have a multim monitor setup oh yeah this is super cool you're
8:38
going to like this a lot if you have a multim monitor setup and I explain this in the software video a little bit but
8:42
I'm going to go into it more here if you have a multim monitor setup usually with
8:46
your displays curved on the side because you'd have them angled in towards you
8:50
you mean more like angled on the side angled on the side cuz curved displays are a different thing and curve displays
8:54
also have this problem though yes that's true yeah that's truee like I mean maybe
8:59
not most of the ones that are out there now but like remember that prototype
9:03
that Alienware showed off that super curved one that would definitely suffer
9:07
from from Distortion of the rendering at the edges and sometimes even just having
9:11
a crazy wide screen like playing in 21 by9 at all y will have these problems
9:16
it's not as big of a deal I didn't really cover this much in the individual
9:19
video because it's kind of a use case scenario depending on what game you play
9:22
and stuff if they support that resolution a lot of times they don't so
9:26
it stretches it and to stretch it you have these warping problems where the
9:31
scale uh is screwed up on a lot of the objects on the sides so like the cockpit
9:36
like the bars for the for the window of the cockpit are like this thick they're
9:41
massive on the side they take up almost the entire screen yeah and you play
9:45
rocket league and everything on the sides is Warped out and this happens when you have multiple displays as well
9:49
and it's even worse because you angle them in and then things like break as
9:53
they go across the screens because the angle that you have them on doesn't look
9:57
right and stuff right s multi projection
10:01
should theoretically fix all of these things I don't know how and I'm sure
10:05
we'll figure it out eventually yeah here
10:08
um but the they they can figure out the the angle of your screens and they can
10:13
solve that problem and line everything up for you so if you're looking at
10:16
something even across angled screens it will be flat that is incredible and and
10:21
they fix the there's no there's no more skew there's no more warping going on
10:25
they they fix all that kind of stuff the scale's fixed I should have put an
10:28
asterisk on that that that's incredible wow that's
10:31
incredible tell me more works we need to
10:34
test it if it works if does it require Game Dev support do we even know this
10:39
yet can we talk about this yet don't know if we know that yet okay what else
10:44
we got um then let's talk about the one you're stoked on anzel yeah okay so
10:50
anzel is really cool um I don't know if we have the games that are supported for
10:54
it right now this one does need Dev support I don't see a game list here I
10:59
did mention the entire game list in my video one of them is like the division
11:04
uh wow I'm not going to remember the other ones right now one try I'll try
11:08
and pull it up just talk about the feature for now what anel is is
11:11
essentially a incredibly badass
11:14
screenshot software which when he told me about it I was like okay yeah I had
11:20
to asterisk that with like trust me it's interesting in the video as well because
11:25
like no it's actually really cool it can screenshot things I don't remember the
11:28
exact resolution but it's up to up to 32
11:32
times your monitor's resolution and then there's another resolution number which
11:35
is like whatever one you hit first but it's like 65,000 by 32,000 or something
11:40
ridiculous now so they showed it off with this ginormous canvas about 15x3 M
11:47
created using Ansel that has a 2 gigapixel capture from The Witcher 3 now
11:53
to be clear none of this is going to
11:57
make your game that you're playing run
12:00
at that kind of a resolution no that is not how it works but in much the same
12:06
way that Dynamic super resolution which they launched with the 980 can take more
12:12
samples like it can kind of go okay what
12:16
if we were rendering the game at four times the resolution and you're
12:21
basically running a render of the scene yes and then instead of just having it
12:25
go from your view it's rendering
12:29
everything so the camera will actually what you do in order to perform an anzel
12:34
screenshot isn't just press print screen they they wanted to say this a million
12:39
times during the show they like no more print screen button although hopefully
12:43
you can bind it or something um because that would be cool but it like pauses
12:46
the game you get a free cam so say you have like say I'm like punching you and
12:51
my head's down here you could change the camera so that instead of like being out
12:55
here and it's a fighting game the camera is now looking up at me an angle that
13:02
Trad it scre
13:06
itam from every different angle and one
13:09
situation that they showed with The Witcher is they took a screenshot like
13:12
really far out of what I believe was a castle going off of memory and then they
13:16
were like okay but because of the insane resolution you can zoom all the way in
13:22
through this window and then look at a book and see the printing on the
13:26
book which is super cool really cool and this allows you to do things like uh
13:31
there's really not that many notes but there's something called exr which for
13:35
camera people means that it has like amazingly good color information it's
13:39
basically like taking a a raw photo right so you could essentially like
13:43
change the lighting in the scenes you can make it basically be day even if the
13:49
photo is taken like at night and you can do a lot of really cool things in terms
13:53
of cropping you can even take 360° photos so if you want to like thing that
13:59
I thought would have been really cool you have to enable it the game developer
14:02
has to enable it so this wouldn't be possible so I've got that list uh which your three was used to show it off other
14:07
games that have announced anel support include the division the witness law Breakers Paragon no man's Sky Unreal
14:13
Tournament and abduction so uh there you go um there
14:18
there's the at the event someone asked if it would work with Shadow play so you
14:23
could go back into a shadow play recording and then run anel and they
14:27
said that they would not comment on it yet that doesn't seem like it should work
14:30
that doesn't seem possible that really doesn't seem like
14:34
it should work cuz cuz I thought the way Shadow play is working is it's basically
14:37
just an h264 encoding of uh I was
14:41
surprised that the guy seemed enthusiastic when he said that they
14:45
can't comment on it yet so I'm not really sure how that works I would have thought the answer would have been no
14:49
you idiot no yes like so but who knows
14:52
maybe they're changing Shadow play and maybe NVIDIA hasn't been entirely
14:55
transparent about how Shadow play works yeah so so I don't know that's that
15:00
seems pretty freaking cool be very cool if you could go like wow that was cool
15:04
let me go back and like make sure I have a really cool render of that cuz something I would have really liked is
15:08
uh the I'm going to talk about classic wow again when nostris went down there
15:13
was all those like people Gatherings and all that kind of stuff they released
15:16
something called uh nostras memories I believe it's called where you can go
15:20
back in and like be there again it would
15:23
be super cool if anzel existed so you could get like crazy angles like way
15:27
above where everyone was and have really interesting views it's not built into
15:31
the game so it will not work but that's the first thing I thought of was if this
15:35
was enabled way back when it definitely didn't exist um it would have been super
15:40
cool to have those kind of screenshots something that you can relive and you
15:44
could take a 360 Dee photo this is going to make people so hungry for like 16k
15:50
monitors and like 8 to 10 times more
15:54
powerful gpus because honestly going back and playing games that you haven't
15:58
played since you were running you know like uh you know even going back and
16:02
playing something like Far Cry 1 which you might have run the first time on
16:06
like a you know 6600 GT or something like that it is amazing how much more is
16:13
left in those games when you run them on more powerful hardware and you really
16:17
crank up all the details especially the engines that scale well this is not
16:21
increasing the resolution of the game no not what you're actually running it's
16:26
it's just taking a very high resolution screenshot so it's what it would look
16:31
like if you could do that yeah so like
16:35
one really cool thing too is you can take these photos and then there's an
16:38
app for your phone now NVIDIA VR viewer
16:41
I believe it's called and you can send the anel screenshot to that app and then
16:46
view it in like a Google cardboard or something they gave everyone at the
16:49
event Google cardboards so that we would be able to do that obviously haven't
16:53
been able to yet because don't have it
16:56
but that will be very cool once you're able to so there's some more VR features
17:00
uh path traced audio which is you know
17:04
for regular two-dimensional
17:07
gaming um also applicable but for VR is
17:12
particularly important so and like needs to be pinpoint accurate so that's very
17:17
cool that they're working on that one thing that I me I don't have a lot to say about this there's path traced audio
17:22
it should massively increase the Precision of you being able to figure out where things are based on sound
17:26
which is super cool like you should be able to tell if something's in another
17:30
room or if it's behind something or if it goes from being behind something to
17:34
being not behind something yes exactly something that like all of the 3D Audio
17:39
Solutions that exist today quite frankly just are not good enough at from my
17:45
experience and apparent I've I've heard this is completely hearsay but I've
17:49
heard that one of the main guys that they have working on this used to work
17:52
with like the US military on like sound stuff in terms of like taking the
17:57
reverberation of sound in order to find snipers and tanks and stuff within
18:01
cities from like super far away so like
18:04
well I'm glad he's working on something important now yeah well I'm assuming he figured
18:09
that stuff out um but like so he's probably pretty good I don't know um so
18:15
that should be cool and one thing that I'm super excited for is I know it
18:18
sounds really lame visually but it would actually be a lot of fun to do is if
18:21
they release like if if Disney releases like a small Tech demo where you get to
18:26
do the training Droid fight
18:29
H so if if it like if you go to put your helmet on and then it becomes black and
18:33
then you just hear where the training Droid is and it takes shots and you have
18:36
to try to block them that would be crazy that would be so much fun it sounds so
18:40
stupid visually cuz you literally put a headset on in order to see Blackness
18:43
yeah but like it would be really fun that would be really fun yeah I don't
18:47
know so speaking of really fun this was
18:50
originally posted by aln 1118 the
18:54
original article here is from OC overclock 3d. net let go ahead and uh
19:00
pull this baby up so member a member of
19:03
the EVGA tech support team has confirmed
19:06
that the 1080 will be limited and and assuming assuming the rest of the lineup
19:11
will be limited to two-way SLI and they said that we can confirm that 1080 cards
19:16
only support up to two-way SLI and anything above this will not work no
19:20
matter the SLI Bridge just to explain that last Point there's a new SLI Bridge
19:24
can you use an old one theoretically no
19:28
I've heard I don't know no one really knows I even contacted them seeing if we
19:32
could get another card to test SLI because it's supposed to be new and
19:35
improved and stuff and they're like no no one's getting that yet they will be
19:40
eventually but they're like well we want to keep Fair Ground so you guys can't be
19:45
the only one with SLI
19:48
test yeah and I was told in that that I would need the new SLI Bridge so yeah I
19:53
think you have to use the new s Bridge it hasn't been like outright confirmed
19:56
interesting the SLI Bridge has been with us for like 10 years I think yes and all
20:02
the way back to 6,000 series holy crap and something
20:09
that I did notice was if you look uh you might be able to pull this up right now
20:14
maybe not if you look at my coverage of the when when we're having the talk with
20:18
all of us in the room I have some b-roll of a system that was built by BS mods
20:22
they're awesome check them out um and it has two cards in it in SLI not three not
20:28
four only two and it has the new SLI bridge on it and it's
20:33
big and that matters because I was checking out my sample card because when
20:37
I first read this I was like what mine had two fingers on it and it does I
20:41
double checked it has two SLI fingers on it but the SLI Bridge was big so I think
20:46
what they're really doing is just teaming the SLI Lanes yeah cuz they even
20:49
said it's double the really so they're just teaming the
20:53
SLI Lanes like I'm pretty sure it's not confirmed but like that that the bridge
20:58
is Big meaning it's probably taking up both of them and there are two fingers
21:02
on my card I don't have it here but like I guarantee you do you think they're
21:05
going to let us just put on two old bridges or do you think they did
21:10
something stupid like like cross the paths internally on the bridge so people
21:14
can't do that easily I'm assuming there is some type of internal logic that
21:20
teams them together okay which but then
21:23
does that mean have to buy it separately prob I mean I don't know if motherboard
21:27
manufacturers are any include that oh
21:30
especially at different spacings right I that's the thing I love progress as much
21:33
as anyone but when you have such
21:37
a a staple as the SLI Bridge like who
21:41
like I have like multiple bins of SLI Bridges I have have your favorite ones
21:45
different colors like I got my old DFI land party one with the black PCB like
21:50
huh and one thing that was interesting was uh I expected before I went to the
21:55
event that in our like goodie bag which had the April tools uh energy drinking
22:00
like a cliff bar and stuff which is actually kind of funny um they were
22:04
going to be giving us an S Bridge right the reason why I thought that was
22:08
because on the like press signup page there was a question asking us what our
22:12
favorite motherboard spacing for two-way SLI
22:16
was and then no and then no oh so I'm
22:20
wondering if they were pulling everyone that went to the event to figure out which spacings they should have more
22:25
available
22:28
I hope this isn't something that you have to buy from NVIDIA.com or something
22:32
yeah that would suck I'm not okay personally I'm not super worried that
22:35
we're now limited to two because three and four is pretty dumb anyway we've
22:40
talked about it time and time again three and four is not good even if the
22:45
FPS number is higher like people who
22:48
send me their system config and they're like yeah I'm getting three cuz I'm a
22:52
super ba dude you end up getting no actually you just get stuttering and
22:56
it's just and compatibility issue and and it's just bad go go back and watch
23:01
the compensator that had four four cards yeah four 98 four tight four tight Nexus
23:06
I think I think so yeah forite Nexus and like it was unplayable in anything yeah
23:12
cuz so much stuttering and like just it was gross to play anything on that
23:16
anything on that machine and I'm hoping that if they're limited to two now they
23:21
will just focus on two completely
23:24
explain the uh the limitation to two as well if it's just two old bridges
23:29
because you couldn't yeah okay okay okay I think you cracked the code I think so
23:33
speaking of cracking the code if you were thinking yourself gee I sure wish I
23:39
could launch a new career as a code cracker I actually don't know that
23:45
linda.com has codec cracking courses but
23:48
you could learn programming which could maybe lead you into that kind of fi I
23:53
wasn't even going to try and bring it into something they actually teach we
23:57
did it though but we did we did it so they've got web development photography
24:01
visual design you Excel that's where you can store your cracked codes train
24:04
training software like Photoshop word is
24:08
where you could like write documentation for other people in in terms of like how
24:13
you crack the code so all the courses are taught by industry experts with new
24:16
courses added every week and whether you're setting new financial goals for
24:19
yourself finding work life balance investing in a new hobby or you just
24:23

your life easier if you're not the kind of person who finishes a long day of uh
27:02
teaching dance lessons in your garage and sits wants to sit down in front of
27:07
the computer and do some accounting yeah that sounds kind of
27:12
which is not a thing that most small business owners are really that into
27:15
because let's face it if you were a small business owner who was into accounting you would start up a business
27:20
as an accountant wouldn't you that actually that actually makes a ton of sense makes a ton of sense you know what
27:24
after a long day of doing accounting you probably don't want to do your own accounting
27:29
isn't that such a thing though like the that drives the beater be quite
27:33
legitimate yeah you know it's really it's really funny though like the okay
27:37
mechanic driving the beater is is less less uh less offensive but like or or
27:42
less not not is more offensive rather but like would you let a dentist work on
27:46
your teeth that had really bad teeth oh
27:50
but they can't even work on their own teeth anyway they could have they could be a great dentist but have a there was
27:55
that Russian surgeon that operated on himself Antarctica like removed his appendix or
28:01
something I think that's the exception not the rule okay
28:07
maybe that guy's crazy speaking of
28:10
exceptions and not the
28:13
rule I'm just going to fire this up most
28:16
of our content is available to everyone
28:21
on YouTube some of it like nerd Sports
28:25
is only available on vessel and episode 4 hockey is out now I can't tell you
28:32
guys how to uh you know sort of manage
28:36
your manage your subscriptions to services but what I can say is vessel
28:40
offers a onewe free trial that gives you early access up to a week to a ton of
28:45
content creators not just all of our channels and if you were to start your
28:49
onewe trial now you would be able to check out I'm just going to screen share
28:54
with you guys here I'm going to try not to have it of go go forever
28:59
no um would allow you to check out all
29:02
four of the episodes that are already up on vessel and it would allow you to have
29:07
a subscription still when the fifth and final of our first portion of the series
29:12
comes out very shortly here's some teaser footage that's the team we played
29:16
against which was super terrifying by the way in case you guys were like
29:20
wondering about that and this is sort of more along the lines of what you can
29:25
expect from us
29:29
yep look at this go where's Colton Colton was hilarious freaking awesome
29:33
I'm sorry the bit rate's really low the uh connection here at the hotel in
29:38
Mexico is not exactly that great and we are streaming so we're it's actually
29:43
kind of a miracle that that loaded at all so you can check it out the Link's
29:47
going to be in the video description over on YouTube but it's vessel.com it's
29:50
not exactly complicated all right so let's move on
29:54
to some of our in the chat too some of our additional topics
29:59
here um but I guess for the YouTube viewers it'll be down below here we go
30:04
this is freaking cool so the original
30:08
here is from gizmag I'm just going to fire this up here and uh start up my
30:13
battery bank again I think I'm triggering either overheating or over
30:16
current protection trying to keep my uh laptop Juiced up here so this is a very
30:22
early test it's called a propulsion open air test or po um it does use
30:27
electromagnet to propel a sled at 115 M
30:32
miles per gallon apparently uh considering Colton wrote it but it's
30:35
actually 115 mph or 185 km per hour
30:40
which is pretty damn impressive along a test track running 1,500 ft long so this
30:45
isn't actually to test like how fast it
30:48
can go this is more of like a a stepping
30:52
stone Theory kind of deal so they're going to add on to it and add on to it
30:55
and add on to it and add and add on to it and grow and prove the theory as they
31:00
grow this is just kind of an early stage thing so I know people would be like I
31:05
thought they were claiming it would go much faster than that like 700 mph and
31:10
you're right they were what voice is that and I don't know that was awful I
31:15
don't know um and hopefully they will grow up to that point um but this is
31:20
yeah this is an early on thing it's open air it's supposed to be in a vacuum tube
31:23
like one of the main points of this whole thing is that it's in a vacuum
31:27
tube tube they don't have that part going quite yet so yeah it's it's it's
31:31
fine they're just testing like this the sand shark sled and all that kind of
31:35
stuff okay battery is critical oh my oh
31:38
my goodness the uh oh this is oh this is
31:41
going to be awkward okay do you want to give them some more give them some more
31:44
specs on that okay yeah so it's about 10 miles north of Las Vegas Nevada um it
31:51
claiming a bunch of stuff that we've already heard about apparently the experiment when the capsule is created
31:57
will be using a compressor to create a stronger vacuum ahead of the vehicle to
32:01
cut down an air resistance all this kind of stuff we already knew even the test
32:04
system will include a passenger and cargo compartment and batteries to power
32:08
the system and contain a levitation
32:11
device to lift the capsule off the GU rails which will probably be Air Bursts
32:16
or something along those lines Air Bursts or magnet uh uh magnets but I
32:20
believe last time I heard it was airburst so that should be pretty cool
32:24
we have a um picture here which I will
32:27
will try to bring up although I'm using Linus's laptop I'm not sure how things
32:31
are set up so going toct new it was 1500 track BL I
32:38
already did that okay okay so no worries
32:42
there you go so there's the sled which is obviously not going to carry huge
32:47
amounts of cargo or people or literally
32:50
anything kind of looks like a little cute spider thing um but yeah like I
32:54
said they're going to grow on that and move from there so this is cool but it
32:59
might not have been what you expected but it is still very cool their video
33:03
for it is like massively overproduced which is kind of fun but you know
33:07
whatever all right Amazon direct video service so this was originally posted by
33:12
Sam on the Forum the original article here is from The
33:16
Verge uh let me just go ahead and bring up that news item here Amazon challenges
33:21
YouTube by offering uploaders a cut of the ads which I don't think is uh right
33:27
at all oh that is a very sensationalist and honestly a little bit misleading
33:32
headline because speaking as a YouTuber
33:36
um I'm just going to throw this out there I'm pretty sure that check show up
33:44
monthly from YouTube where they give us
33:47
a cut of and I think it's to do with the ads on the videos maybe the ads I mean
33:51
if it's not to do with the ads on the videos I'm sorry guys uh I'm just going
33:55
to disable them from now on because apparently it's just coming from Magic
34:00
um so let's let's let's let's go through Colton's notes on this thing see if we
34:04
can demystify this B we'll let video creators share content and receive a cut
34:09
of the revenue okay offering creators a variety of ways to earn money including
34:14
royalties through streaming to Prime members that's cool because right now uh
34:20
YouTube does not have a subscription service that gives YouTubers a cut of
34:26
the royalties for the month oh wait hold on a second huh YouTube uh Rouge is it
34:31
rou Rouge uh uh red tube is that it oh
34:36
oh my no no don't go there unless you want to but and you're overage um uh
34:43
sorry but with that said with that said I mean if we had Amazon Prime
34:48
subscribers in our audience and we were to do some kind of YouTube Red series or
34:53
something which we don't have which we don't have in the works at all by the
34:57
way but seriously we don't we' have nothing going on with YouTube Red they
35:00
wouldn't be able to access it unless they had YouTube red as well that's
35:03
right so if we were to say okay yeah it'll be on Prime and it'll be on YouTube R all of a sudden we're giving
35:07
people choices and if they already have Prime anyway because they shop at Amazon
35:12
all the time then then that's that's cool uh so the revenue sharing will be
35:15
through rentals purchases subscriptions and AD Impressions so it sounds like it
35:20
could be free to use you probably won't need a Prime membership and Amazon
35:24
definitely has the video serving horses to make something like this happen so
35:28
that's pretty cool um I don't I I have I
35:32
don't know at all but just reading this and looking at what Amazon's doing I'm
35:37
getting the vibe that they're not
35:40
targeting People Like Us right I think
35:44
they're targeting more of a Vimeo crowd than a YouTube crowd because looking at
35:49
like the pictures that they're using as their samples and stuff it's not like
35:53
super fun we did weird thing I don't know what stuff is super popular on
35:58
YouTube uh kids stuff react react things
36:02
like it doesn't seem like that at all I don't know um it doesn't seem like any
36:06
of that at all it seems like little like user created shows so like if Rocket
36:11
Jump made longer episodes so more like
36:15
like podcasts or like um maybe podcast
36:19
that or like like like uh so maybe this episodic content episodic content or
36:24
like shows or like very very like more
36:27
higher production value oh that's not good is that battery dying as well I
36:31
think so uh oh that could be bad we might be an audio only cast for a little
36:37
bit here uh while I summon while I summon Brandon to bring us another
36:42
battery anyways I'm going to keep talking it it seems like yeah higher
36:45
production quality uh not really like
36:48
reviews or like short kind of contained videos it seems like they're still
36:53
leaving that uh market up to YouTube so
36:58
hi hello it's okay it's all
37:04
good H um so yeah I think they're still
37:10
leaving that kind of stuff up to YouTube I think it's going to be yeah more high
37:14
production quality like like short
37:17
movies is basically what I kind of think they're going for anyways moving on
37:22
Oxford study finds that virtual reality can help treat severe paranoia if you
37:27
just just like share okay yeah that kind of works hold on hold on I got this okay
37:33
okay okay we're back nice we're back we're back in Action um no never mind
37:38
never mind Brandon says he can't I'm just telling him we're
37:42
switching to the webcam there we go we're improvising we're improvising in
37:46
Mexico all right so so o finds going to
37:51
put the mic on top of the computer that's in the water it's van
37:56
show time again kids uh it's also like right in front of your
37:59
face all right would be the first time I put it there okay so um what else we got
38:05
for topic anyways uh sorry Oxford study
38:10
finds virtual reality can help treat so wow I don't know where to look hosted by
38:14
insanely secret D on the Forum by the way insanely secret d That's a fantastic
38:18
name the secret D anyways VR can help treat severe Paranoia by allowing people
38:22
to face situations that they fear now severe paranoia is like oh you got to
38:26
fix that um is like 1 to 2% of the
38:30
population um so that's actually pretty significant if you go into total number
38:34
of people and it is uh like the mental health issue and severe paranoia is like
38:38
not cool anyways how they do it is they
38:42
have people face their fears in VR so one they they already did a trial one
38:46
group was encouraged to use normal defensive behaviors and another group
38:50
was told to hold a long stare or stand toeo Toe with the avatars that uh
38:57
Encompass their fears I guess and super
39:01
cool over 50% of the patients no longer
39:05
had severe paranoia at the end of their
39:08
testing day one day day one day it says
39:14
singular day I don't know if like I haven't read super deeply into the
39:17
article I don't know if it was a whole but it does sing at all if it does
39:23
anything at all even if you need like regular regular therapy let's say for
39:27
examp like VR therapy I would I am so excited about
39:32
stuff like that I mean using technology for gaming is great I am super down for
39:39
using it for gaming why am I looking at that camera still camera's here yeah
39:43
yeah I'm super down for using it for gaming but using it for using it for
39:48
making people's actual RL lives better
39:52
that is the real deal uh speaking of
39:55
real deal this was originally posted by okay one one thing I want to drop in
39:59
over 50% of the patients no longer had severe paranoia at the end of the day
40:03
that were I believe um lowering their
40:07
defenses and standing Toe to Toe and the ones that used their defenses 20% of
40:12
that group no longer had severe paranoia at the end of the day still sing you
40:16
still have to conquer your fear yeah you still have to like but you can go in in
40:20
the eye knowing that it's not real that is not real and you're in VR and you
40:24
know that personally and it's that must make it so much easier considering 50%
40:30
of them were able to overcome their severe paranoia in a day it must have
40:34
been easier for them to do so so let's launch into some rapid fire topics here
40:38
um civilization 6 has been announced and it looks freaking awesome oh I was going
40:42
to do the Micron one but that's I had to do that but where is that even
40:47
civilization 6 it's probably down a little bit there's like no details on it
40:51
at all they're they're making it so that when you build your city it expanses a
40:54
little bit wow I'm still looking at the wrong camera it expanses
40:58
a sing loation and you have districts so you have like your industrial district
41:03
and like f growth district and your
41:06
culture district and all that kind of stuff then people can attack districts
41:10
individually when they come to fight you and it makes it so that like I believe
41:15
if I remember correctly there's more inter trade between cities so if you
41:19
have one city that's in the mountains it can be like totally industry focused
41:22
then you have one that's like along a nice River it could be like totally growth and food focused and interchange
41:28
with each other the problem that might introduce say someone comes and wipes
41:31
out your growth City then your industry city is stuck with no food right so
41:37
they're they're trying to make it so that each game is more so Rush The Great
41:40
Wall and uh what's the Colossus I think is yeah yeah yeah yeah basically so
41:45
that'll prob Rush Great Wall of Colossus still a good strategy probably four or
41:50
five iterations of of the game later um but yeah they're trying to make
41:55
it so that each game is more unique so basically where your city is placed will
41:59
more greatly influence how that City will naturally grow that is a struggle
42:03
for sa yeah it is so they're working on that a lot they're also working on I
42:08
think they call it Advanced multiplayer we're getting so much crap for our
42:11
crappy camera quality you know what we are streaming to you from Mexico so
42:16
sorry surprised it's even working it's a miracle it's working at all um anyways I
42:22
think it's called Advanced multiplayer we have no notes on this it's supposed to make scenarios that are easier to be
42:28
completed within a single play session with friends oh which is also a huge
42:34
thing that they need to come over because the The Long play like have
42:37
everyone come over for a whole day and do it is still cool risk is fun but
42:41
being able to have a smaller contained experience is also very cuz there's
42:44
people who have time to play Civ and then there's people with jobs and
42:48
families quite frankly I haven't been able to do a full play Civ game with
42:51
friends in a very long time yeah and that's like one of my favorite things to
42:55
do so um NVIDIA launches GTX 1080 with
43:00
Micron gddr5x and Micron has officially ramped
43:05
up fullscale production of gddr5x uh which shouldn't come as any
43:10
surprise given that um there are cards
43:14
launching that have it this is interesting this was post oh
43:19
that was posted by onot Tech next one here is posted by Captain Gaz and this
43:23
is fascinating PayPal to poll payment
43:28
protection for crowdfunding sites on June 25th they're basically saying look
43:33
if you haven't seen all the news articles if you haven't been burned already if you haven't seen the episode
43:38
of South Park if you haven't seen Luke's Neptune Pine video um we're sorry but we
43:44
don't feel bad for you anymore when you give them your money understand that you
43:49
are giving them your money can we talk about how amazing this title image is
43:53
for a moment what it's just like someone
43:56
took like a not great picture of like the side of someone's phone that had a
44:00
Paypal logo on it and just like that's good
44:04
enough honestly what it kind of it is
44:08
but like what how did you even think of
44:11
that like it's just on a table I I want you know you know what it
44:16
you know what I bet it is because no one would be taking like no one would be
44:20
doing like phone device photography with another phone camera
44:25
and you're like look how crap look how crap this looks you know what I bet it is I bet it is
44:30
actually like a a crop of a video that
44:33
they' made or something a photo they took for a phone for a review that
44:38
happened to have a PayPal logo and the why they would even like why that would
44:42
be why they wouldn't just put a PayPal logo at the top of the of the page yeah
44:46
like I'm sure PayPal has like logos for
44:49
people to use for that kind of stuff but here you go Kickstarter notes about 9%
44:53
of their projects never deliver and that is not accounting for ones that deliver
44:57
garbage sorry Dad you you'll get your Hammer eventually yeah um and there and
45:03
if the campaign just goes Bust or doesn't deliver you can no longer dispute the charge so in a statement
45:08
made to end Gadget from PayPal they said in Australia Brazil Canada Japan United
45:11
States and certain other countries we have excluded payments made to crowdfunding campaigns from our buyer
45:16
protection program I think this is fine
45:19
I don't think PayPal can be expected to do that to be completely honest what do you
45:24
think uh no I think it's completely reasonable especially given that you're
45:29
not exactly getting you know blindsided
45:32
by this anymore yeah um all right I've got actually okay
45:38
there's a couple more big ones uh the city of Zug Zoo Oh Lordy it's Swiss so
45:42
who knows this is posted by data on the Forum uh city of Zug is the first
45:49
government to accept
45:54
Bitcoin this legitimizes Bitcoin
45:57
in uh well I don't know Swiss Swiss it's
46:01
Swiss Swiss uh Swiss Swiss bank what you
46:04
doing oh you want me to translate the page yes I guess I should have done that
46:09
City will worldwide to bitcoin Pioneer oh
46:13
boy you made nothing better you
46:17
officially did not help at all let the
46:21
record show that you were not helpful we
46:25
definitely knew it said that
46:29
that was that was great I'm going to change scenes here eventually all right
46:32
let's get my notes up here so the Swiss town is billing it billing itself as a
46:36
hub for the digital currency industry will accept Bitcoin for some payment
46:40
starting this summer so the Town Council Zug approved every time I say it wrong
46:46
I'm going to be buried alive here sh is already U approved plans to accept
46:50
payments of up to 200 Swiss Franks for the municipal registration fee starting
46:54
July 1st part of an experiment and and
46:57
Zug tout the town's reputation as part of crypto Valley um approximately 15
47:02
companies linked to the digital currency business um in crypto Valley very very
47:07
cool this article doesn't show an O out over it so like I would expect that and
47:11
then it to be Zoo but because of that now I'm like
47:15
ah I don't know I don't know what to tell you all right this was posted by Z
47:19
mule and this is freaking

awesome Microsoft has announced the original article years from RS Technica
47:28
Microsoft has announced removal removal of some of the
47:35
particularly stupid restrictions that they've placed
47:40
on uh Universal Windows apps
47:43
particularly games that people were complaining about things like that you
47:47
couldn't run native full screen you had
47:50
to run borderless Window mode um things
47:54
like this and this is the one that we're specific speically talking about here
47:58
that we've got from our article here requiring
48:02
vsync why I don't want that vsync leg
48:07
please do not make me have it it's super annoying because it's bad and terrible
48:13
so Gamers will have better control over performance and picture quality
48:16
tradeoffs um the latest update is that you'll now be able to decide whether not
48:21
to have um uh vsync enabled and you will be able
48:26
to use gsync and free sync as well which
48:29
which is super good cuz that would be so frustrating owning like I don't own one
48:33
yet I hope to eventually get one um but owning a g-sync screen or a freesync
48:38
screen and just not being able to use it
48:42
because it's better yeah it really really truly is objectively better
48:48
speaking of objectively better uh the WAN Show normally so we're we're sorry
