cuz like all the way over I still don't really fit. That's what she said. Yeah,
0:03
it's wed show time and we managed to get
0:06
a that's what she said before the proper intro. Before the intro right at the
0:11
start we are fast like that. You're just
0:15
like you're you're thinking you're thinking oh it's about to and it's over.
0:19
Yep. Yep. Just Okay, we've got a great
0:23
show for you guys today. World record speed. Um, first we get to admit that we
0:28
were not only slightly wrong, but also
0:34
slightly ignorant and a little bit dumb.
0:37
So, that'll be coming later. Uh, which I wasn't able to research at all
0:44
because I can't look at this. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's that's fine. Don't
0:47
worry. I got this. Thanks. Um, HTC's
0:51
keyboard is showing ads to users of
0:55
their phones. Apparently, it might not really be their fault, but it's because
0:58
of something or whatever. Whatever. We'll get into it later. So, that's brilliant. This just in an ASUS Thread
1:05
Ripper motherboard. There are now unboxing pictures. It looks awesome.
1:09
I've held it. Oh, it feels awesome. I'm sure it does. And the ROG Crosshair 6
1:15
Extreme has been
1:21
announced. So yeah, I guess I guess a drum. Roll a drum.
1:28
Dang it. I don't have Twitch open yet, nerd. Neither do I. Damn
1:35
it. I believe that is pretty much the definition of wrecked, son.
1:42
I got it.
1:47
Hold on. I'm sure we had sponsors, but I have to post that the WAN Show is live
1:52
on social media. That's what I usually do. Well, thank you to Savage Turkey.
1:58
Fresh bugs.
2:02
Macelog tech.
2:07
Jingles are a lost art. We should uh we should make another album.
2:11
Oh, okay. I've wanted to do a non-Christ
2:14
themed album for a while. I know, but I
2:17
didn't we learn our lesson last time. No, it did really well. Okay. Well,
2:22
there are different ways to learn your lesson. Okay. So, so for those of you
2:26
not familiar it must Wow, it was over a
2:29
year and a half ago. Long time ago. Over a year and a half ago, we had the
2:35
hairbrained idea. I don't remember whose
2:38
idea it was. Was it you? Was it me? It
2:42
was you. Was it me? I'm not taking full credit for it. I'll take partial credit
2:46
for it. Other people were complicit in this. Okay. I was more than complicit. I
2:49
was Yeah. So, this was a thing that we as a team I don't think it was my idea,
2:54
but I definitely championed. Yeah. Okay. So, we created a Christmas album. We
2:58
took a bunch of classic Christmas songs and we rewrote the lyrics uh with
3:04
technology as as sort of a theme. And it
3:09
um it was awful. Yeah. Like the lyrics
3:12
were actually not as bad as you might expect because I took what some other
3:17
people wrote and made very few alterations because they were quite good
3:23
or completely redid because they were done by Colton. Yeah. Yeah. John and I
3:28
sat down like together outside of work hours and wrote a few songs that were
3:33
like pretty solid. Yeah. I believe Nick's Nick lights were pretty good.
3:37
Nick did a few. Yeah, Colton's were terrible. They were really bad. I was
3:41
like, "Do you even English, bro?" They
3:45
were a little rough. So, I redid those ones. But anyway, and then without any
3:50
rehearsals, Nacho Mist, which like
3:53
that's a reputable name right there, says that it was actually fantastic.
3:57
Okay, thanks, Nacho Mist. And we actually sold quite a few of them. So, I
4:02
was I was getting to that part. Um, are you checking? Which I'm going to check.
4:06
You're checking, aren't you? Which might mean that we're going to sell none of them next time cuz people have now seen
4:10
what we can do. Yeah. Um, so, so anyway,
4:13
so we we did I think it was like nine or 10 songs, something like that. So we
4:17
without any rehearsals and without any
4:20
screening, so no matter who they were, if they were on staff at Linus Media
4:24
Group, they had to sing for the Christmas album. And um, we sold, how
4:30
many of them did we sell? sold 924 for a grand total of $2,772.
4:37
So, we not even close to made back the
4:41
time we spent on it. Nope. There's also ad revenue,
4:47
which I can look up for you right now. Oh, I don't know if we can say it. Sure.
4:52
Yeah, let's let's I don't think anyone's going to care. Okay. You know what? We
4:56
may have actually turned off um
5:00
monetization. We may have turned off monetization cuz we wanted as many
5:03
people as possible to watch the uh the
5:06
video advertising it. So, we released it as something that almost looked like a
5:12
joke. No, we did. We monetized it. So, we released this video that almost
5:16
looked like a joke and um and then we're
5:20
way too serious about it and then you actually could buy it.
5:25
Um, like th this is this is real. This
5:28
is not a joke at all.
5:34
Um, look at Ed back
5:38
there. Nick's like into it.
5:47
My favorite thing this whole time is looking at Colton's face cuz this if if
5:51
you see like the behind the scenes, Lannis has just been grilling Colton the whole time. So Colton's just sitting on
5:56
the couch. I don't even think he's singing like half the time. Just completely dead pan. It's great. Another
6:01
interesting thing, the reason why I know that this sold fairly well is that I get
6:06
emailed every single time someone buys
6:09
it. Every time. So like every few
6:12
months. It's not that common anymore because it's been so long, right? But
6:15
someone will see this in the download section and just be like, "What and just
6:20
buy it for fun?" So, we brought in another $400 heck from the 275,000 views
6:25
on that video. So, that's over three grand, man. So, that makes you want to
6:31
do another one. Well, that was back in in 2015. We probably get more views now.
6:37
Okay. So, tell you what, we've matured as a professional. Uh Oh, shut up. Uh
6:45
I'm going I'm going full on bean spiller
6:50
here. We are not doing another album
6:53
like in that form. A you don't want to
6:57
you don't want to spill it? I'm not going to tell you. No, no, I want to make another album. No, no, we're not
7:02
doing another album. All right. But there will be sometime in I'm not
7:07
going to promise a time frame other than like in the next few months because this is a fairly large project and we want to
7:12
do it right. There will be a tech themed
7:16
like fairly high production
7:19
value music video coming from Linus Tech
7:23
Tips in that time frame which if it does well enough might end up being able to
7:27
go into an album if we do enough of them. Okay. Have you heard the song? No,
7:33
there's a song. It's recorded already. The the the the actual melody. Okay. No,
7:38
I haven't heard this already. I haven't heard it with some placeholder lyrics.
7:41
Very placeholder, but like it's pretty
7:45
catchy. I haven't heard it. It's pretty catchy. Is this You bet. Okay. Awesome.
7:50
Yeah. So, it's This is something that um
7:54
that that we've been talking about actually for probably about 3 years.
7:59
Well, before the Christmas holiday, well before we were in this office. Yeah. So,
8:03
uh that's that's definitely a thing that's happening.
8:07
Um other things that are happening. So, the 16K gaming
8:14
setup, I hope I'm not really spoiling anything, but I just came back from
8:18
filming the final video for that. So, uh
8:23
that's that's coming very soon as well. That's awesome. And no, it is not a baby
8:26
parody. As much as I would love to do that a baby parody baby baby.
8:33
Yeah. No, it's not that. All
8:38
right. So, I don't know what just
8:41
happened there. I don't know. Wow. I don't know what this I don't know what
8:46
this is, but actually where this conversation took place was on my
8:50
personal Twitter. So, the only way I'm going to be able to u the only way up.
8:55
So, let's kick the show off with me kind
8:58
of admitting that I may have made a bit
9:02
of a mistake. So, first of all, there was the news from Tech PowerUp from last
9:06
week. Intel says AMD Epic processors
9:10
glued together in official slide deck. And to be clear, that was far from the
9:16
only thing wrong with this slide deck. We we went kind of ham on Intel slide
9:21
deck being unprofessional, childish, uh undignified, you pretty much name it.
9:27
And I'm not backpedaling on the bulk of
9:30
that, but um there's also a post on the forum
9:35
here. This is this was posted by uh Johnny
9:40
Johnny Corporal Tech and AMD basically
9:44
produced a couple slides going like actually okay you know we have some
9:48
partners their partner list isn't as long but at least it doesn't have any
9:52
duplicate entries on it so we got to give them credit for the partners that they do list are pretty big deal.
9:57
Yep. But there was something that I did
10:00
kind of screw up because I was not familiar with this particular technical
10:06
term. So Dr. Cutras from Anontech made a
10:12
point. I can't believe he watches the WAN Show. I don't know why he would. Um
10:16
I like that. Thank you. Yeah. Thanks, Ian. Hi. Uh made a point of messaging me
10:21
via DM. FYI, he's so polite. Was it
10:24
okay? He's so British. Is it accurate though? Uh, if Ian says so, I'm kind of
10:29
going for Did he say it's accurate? So, here's what he said. It being a term is
10:33
different than it being accurate. Here's what he said word for word. FYI, glued
10:38
together is a technical term. Okay.
10:41
Infinity fabric is a glue logic fabric,
10:45
okay, and a common semiconductor
10:48
microarchchitecture term. and he linked me to a Wikipedia article because while
10:53
he is a very polite person, he's British, that doesn't mean he can't get
10:57
a little snarky. He's British. You'll
11:00
see it in a lot of semiconductor research papers to deal with data
11:03
movement around silicon or between chips. Examples include PCI Express,
11:07
Envy Link, etc. In case you were unaware, I feel like it and thanks for
11:12
the shout out. I feel like it was being
11:15
used. I feel like the way they were using it in the context of all the other
11:20
slides was still pretty be mode. Yeah.
11:25
Um, and it can it can be a technical term and that actually makes sense that
11:29
it's a I'm not surprised at all. I thought it was incorrect because I
11:33
thought their form of link I wasn't applicable to that. Yeah. But I think
11:38
it's still BS the way. But there you go. So, I'm I'm backpedaling on the outrage
11:45
over saying that Epic is glued together.
11:49
You heard it here first, but I'm not backpedaling over the rest of the
11:53
nonsense that was in that slide deck. I'm I'm I'm I'm still a little bit for
11:57
the outrage on that comment. It was It was structured in a very angry
12:02
aggressive way. I don't know. All right,
12:06
speaking of outrage, HTC's keyboard
12:10
Yeah. is showing ads to its users. I
12:14
mean, oh, okay. Okay, here we go. HTC is
12:18
working on a fix is the update. I love it when they use the term fix to
12:24
describe something that wasn't broken. Okay, to be fair, for this situation,
12:29
TouchPal is the keyboard and HTC uses
12:32
TouchPal keyboard. So, what HTC thinks
12:36
is or what people think is going on here is that
12:39
TouchPal ran an update that started serving ads through the keyboard and HTC
12:44
was like, "Whoa, what the heck?" and is now trying to stop this from happening.
12:49
So, I don't think it was like HTC actively doing anything. I just think it
12:54
was HTC losing control of something that they use. Here's what I don't
12:58
understand. Why are they using TouchPal keyboard? I don't know.
13:04
I don't know. I can't That part has continued to be confusing for me.
13:10
SwiftKey is free. Yeah. Well, Swift Key might be free in
13:14
the context of an end user downloading it, but Swift Key might not be free to
13:20
uh a skin maker wanting to, right? But
13:23
but Google keyboard Google keyboard is fine and it's free. Like it's not my
13:28
favorite. I don't use it. I don't like it. But I don't not like it any more
13:34
than any other piece of trash keyboard.
13:38
Samsung's is Touchpal. Terrible. I've never used Touch Pal. I'm not a fan of
13:41
Touchp. Okay. Yeah. Um they're they're they're all pretty garbo. Um and the
13:47
only reason I like Swift Key is because there's a few little customizations that
13:51
I make to it that make it very very usable. So I shorten the long press so
13:55
you can get it all your special characters without switching keyboards. Not all, but the vast majority of them.
14:00
So, it makes it faster to use. I don't I don't flow type. So, some people tell me
14:05
that Swift Keys flow is not very good. Don't care. Don't flow. I don't do that
14:08
either. Um, and that's that's pretty much it
14:13
actually. That's pretty much all Yeah, I'm at the point where using other keyboards feels weird. But the
14:18
prediction of Swift Key is fantastic.
14:21
Like, I can basically look away and kind of like mash at my keyboard and it's
14:25
going to be like, "Did you mean?" I'm like, "Yeah, pretty much." If if I'm on
14:29
a computer that I don't often use, I like can't type anymore. I know because
14:35
I know we've all turned like helpless. I I like definitely run typos pretty much
14:40
all the time and Swift Key is just like I'll do all this, everything will be
14:44
fine. Another creepy thing in that same vein right now is Google's auto
14:49
predictions for email. Have you seen that? I've seen it on um I've seen it on
14:54
my uh on my mobile app. I only get it on my phone. And then on here, send me an
14:59
email. It's going to take a second. Yeah. Well,
15:03
no. Maybe I can. Hold on. Maybe I got one here. You probably Oh, no. Here. Yeah. Yeah, I got one. So, on here, I
15:08
get all kinds of stuff. So, I can click reply. So, I can use voice. Or I can
15:12
say, "Okay, yes, no. Thumbs up. Smiley. Sad heart. Lol. Thanks. Got it done.
15:16
Nice. I don't know what. Why? What's up?" Okay. Give me a moment. On my way.
15:21
Sounds good. Big happy face. Very sad face. And a heart.
15:26
That's just too many options. I know. By the time I scroll through all that, I
15:30
could take my phone out. In the actual app, there's just three usually.
15:35
Um uh but like I don't know that I I
15:39
actually like it because it start but in because it's so creepy that it's
15:43
starting to get really good. Like it started I was even talking to John about
15:47
it. It has started suggesting responses that sound more like something that I
15:50
would actually say. Oh, mine hasn't
15:54
really gotten any better. I don't use it. Mine's gotten better. Huh. And I've
15:58
rarely used it. I think it's just farming the data from my Gmail. That's
16:02
very interesting. Like I got one that was like, "Okay, great. That's awesome."
16:07
And I was like, "That's exactly what I
16:10
was going to type." Yeah. So, the next step is when it doesn't even bother
16:14
asking you to press the button. It just does it. It's just like boop. You can
16:17
delete it if you want, but it's already there. Yeah. Yeah. Really pretty epic.
16:22
All right. I don't know how we got here, but I think we're now on ASUS Threadripper Mobile unboxing. Yeah. So, this
16:27
is from videocards.com. So, honestly, there's
16:32
not a whole lot to it. Um, the only
16:35
thing that was miss So, I've seen the board already. The only thing that was
16:38
missing was the accessories, but now we're able to have a look at what is
16:43
included. So, there's some kind of PCI Express riser card. I'm going to guess
16:46
that's like M.2 or something. What is the point of doing an unboxing like this
16:51
and leaving all the stuff in the packaging? Did they really do that?
16:54
Okay, so yeah, here's an M.2 Riser Doodad uh four-way SLI bridge. Why? I
17:02
guess if this is like um like a a just for benchmarking type
17:07
of product that it's pretty high-end, so might make sense. Um be super surprised.
17:13
We've got like a GPU support bracket. It looks like we've got uh
17:18
ginormal Wi-Fi antennas. So, this is going to have like ad Wi-Fi, I think. Uh
17:24
big page of stickers. There's a PC Ethernet card.
17:29
This is what I don't get. You know, why?
17:33
And this is coming from someone who actually
17:38
made his mark like and and built his
17:43
career on unboxing
17:46
videos. Why did unboxing videos ever
17:50
need to exist when you could just have this? I mean, yes, this is sort of a
17:55
crap job they did of it, but like if you could just have I think it's uh harder
18:02
to do like you can do a really really crap job with a video unboxing and it
18:06
can still be better than this.
18:10
Do you know what I'm saying? But I I can see like I've watched a lot of I've
18:14
watched a lot Yeah. But it doesn't necessarily m No, not really. Look how
18:18
much light glint is on these freaking packages. I mean, this is a This one
18:22
literally has the anti-atic on it. You can't tell what it is. That's useless.
18:26
This is literally useless. This is also useless. So is that. Is that a box of
18:31
something? I can't tell. All these other things have light glint on it. I can't tell what the vast majority of these
18:35
things are. Okay. All right. Right. Right. Right. Okay. But assuming this picture wasn't taken by like But that's
18:41
the point. If it's a video, it'll be moving. You'll probably be able to see better what it is. So you'll be able to
18:45
Okay. So you're Are you really making the argument I think Hold on. Hold on.
18:49
You're telling me that video is better because you could watch frame by frame
18:53
and maybe see the like part where you could I have for like really weird niche
18:58
products. I have watched terrible like
19:01
cell phone in the hand one hand unboxing videos of it to try to figure out what's
19:05
actually going on and like kind of scrubbed through it so I could see
19:09
better because it was that bad and it has answered questions that I've been
19:12
looking for. I've had it work for me.
19:16
Okay. All right. I'll let it slide on
19:19
this one. Um, also announced is the Crosshair
19:24
6 Extreme. So,
19:28
they're uh they're finally going full high-end on
19:33
AM4. So, RGB lighting blah blah blah for
19:38
more than a decade. It really it really does speak to the industry's confidence
19:43
in Ryzen. Yeah. that we're finally seeing truly high-end boards because I
19:49
would have AMD fans complain that like
19:55
all the good boards are for Intel. Yeah. And it's like Yeah.
20:01
Because other than like a handful of
20:05
people who are completely blind to the
20:09
products that exist, other than them,
20:13
anybody else with, you know, $200 plus
20:17
dollars to spend on a board is buying an
20:21
Intel chip right now. Sorry.
20:26
And the motherboard manufacturers, they don't just they don't just know this
20:32
from like a they have an ounce of sense
20:35
and can read a benchmark chart. They know this from a they are seeing actual
20:42
real sales numbers. Yeah. As AMD's lineup gets more and more and more
20:47
irrelevant. At this point in time, if I was building a new system, I would be
20:52
very heavily looking at AMD, which isn't something that I've been able to say for
20:56
a very long time. and seeing this kind
21:00
of variety in the products that are available. Seeing someone like ASUS go,
21:05
okay, sure. Yeah, we've got the confidence to put the R&D behind what
21:10
will probably be a $300 to $400 board US
21:15
to put the R&D behind it because we know that we're going to get enough of even
21:20
this kind of high-end product moved off the shelf that we're going to recoup
21:24
that cost and maybe even make some money. to see that is really confidence
21:30
inspiring. I am I am just stoked. Um
21:37
yeah, man. I don't really know. I don't really know what else to say about that.
21:40
I don't necessarily have the same confidence in Vega. Um, you're gonna
21:45
have to wait for you're gonna have to wait for the video to see the full kind
21:48
of rant, but Frontier Edition is like
21:52
far more of a piece of garbage than other reviews necessarily indicated. So,
21:59
our our review of it is basically like
22:02
this is this is an early access game.
22:05
Like this is this is paying more for
22:11
like access to the select DLC so that
22:17
you can have the buggy gaming experience
22:20
and then not even get the like expansion pack that you then have to go and buy
22:25
anyway. That's when they actually fix it.
22:29
Like it's a bad product.
22:35
I'm really excited for that video. Yeah, it's it's going to be one of those ones
22:39
where like the vast majority of the people who
22:43
watch it are going to be sensible people who can look at the the comment section
22:48
in there is going to be horrible. So, so there's going to be So, I'm I'm talking
22:52
thumbs up, thumbs down. Okay. So there's going to be the the the vast majority of
22:57
like sensible people who can look at at
23:00
facts objectively and who can look at benchmarks objectively and who don't
23:06
leave a comment because they just aren't that invested in it. And then there's
23:10
going to be everybody else who engages with this video and is
23:14
like and that's exactly what those people sound like. Like even the other
23:18
side of the pool, cuz you're talking about people that would dislike
23:22
something because you dislike something that is from AMD. Even from the other
23:25
side of the pool, we were just talking about how cool this stuff is. This Oh, I
23:29
guess they can't see it on screen, but on online is the screen right now. This AMD stuff. Um, and someone in the chat
23:35
in Twitch chat, I saw just scroll through. All caps everything. AMD.
23:43
No, no, no further information or
23:47
contacts. Just my this is my
23:52
opinion. I don't think that's cool cuz it's AMD.
23:56
I didn't ask. Yeah, but thanks, I guess.
24:00
I don't know. There's there there's people on each side. There there's
24:04
there's Intel fanboys, there AMD fanboys, there's NVIDIA fanboys, and
24:07
everybody hates each other. Yeah, everybody now the whole chat is just AMD
24:11
no AMD no. All right. Thank you. Thank you everyone. That's wonderful. I
24:16
appreciate it. All right. Uh next in the
24:19
news. So this was originally posted by Johnny Corporal Tech on the forum and
24:24
our original article here is from CBC.ca.
24:29
The dark web's largest illegal marketplace founded by a Canadian Oops.
24:35
I didn't know that. shut down by the US.
24:41
All right, so let's get into this one a little bit. So the US Justice Department
24:46
has officially shut down the dark web marketplace Alpha Bay, a site 10 times
24:52
as large as Silk Road, accused of allowing hundreds of thousands of people
24:58
to buy and sell drugs, firearms,
25:01
computer hacking tools, and other illicit goods. Cuz remember, there's
25:05
lots of illegal stuff besides like drugs
25:10
and guns. Like for example, um like a
25:14
cell phone signal jammer would be the kind of thing that totally definitely
25:19
exists. Super definitely is everywhere, but is
25:25
illegal to own or operate in pretty much
25:28
any developed nation, I would think. Yeah, definitely Canada. Yeah. Um, so,
25:33
so that's the kind of thing that could end up on a site like this. The
25:36
operation included the arrest of suspected Alphabet founder Alexandre
25:42
Kazes Kaz, a 25-year-old Canadian citizen
25:46
arrested on behalf of the United States in Thailand.
25:50
He apparently took his own life a week later while in Thai custody and he faced
25:55
charges relating to narcotics distribution, identity theft, money
26:00
laundering, and related crimes. Basically, he was screwed and he was
26:05
sure that he was not getting out, I guess. Yeah. Uh the usernames and
26:09
passwords of thousands of buyers and sellers of illicit commodities have been
26:13
identified and are subject to follow-up investigation by Europole. It's and
26:17
partner agencies. It's just usernames and passwords. Like I You know
26:22
what? Remember, this is the world where people
26:29
give televangelists money to buy private
26:33
jets. You know about this, right? No. Yeah.
26:38
This has happened. Oh, yes. more than once where they literally got up there
26:42
and they're like, "To spread the word of
26:46
God, I need a private jet, so send me anything you can spare."
26:52
Like, that's a thing. That's a real thing. They ride around in private jets
26:58
that they literally said they were going to buy with donation money taxfree. Um,
27:04
so don't
27:08
underestimate people's ability to use the same username and password that they
27:13
use on freaking Facebook for a dark web marketplace
27:19
where you buy like drugs. Yes. Don't
27:22
underestimate. Hopefully we get a follow-up article on this with like how
27:26
many people got screwed. I super duper
27:29
hope so. That would be entertaining. I I need to start the church of Lionus.
27:34
Okay. Twi Twitch chats like need church
27:37
of Lionus. I need a lot of Thread
27:40
Ripper. I think I would be an excellent spread the word of CPU. I think I would
27:46
be an excellent televangelist probably. I I I could I could have so much fun
27:51
with that stick.
27:56
Luckily, you're Woodfall. Wood would follow. Best church. love it. Okay,
28:02
we've got we've got ourselves at least
28:05
at least like 30 followers right now,
28:08
which which in some states is probably enough for tax exempt status.
28:15
So, we are we are doing this.
28:19
Awesome. Oh, man. Other people want Church of L. You can have your own
28:22
church. I'm I'm you know I'm No, we should make a uh I can be one of your
28:27
things. A denomination. Yeah. Like a Okay. So, it's actually like the Church
28:32
of Tech. Yes. So, you could be like Lucas or like um like uh uh you know
28:38
line ofism. Yes. Or Perfect. Yeah. And
28:42
then like we can pretend to like fight to make it more interesting just like uh
28:47
those guys that are really popular on YouTube right now that I can't remember the name of where they like pretend
28:51
little quarrels but then behind the scenes we're like just finding ways to
28:55
gather more money. Apparently John John Oliver's done it. I've heard of this.
29:00
There you go. Okay. All right. What hasn't John Oliver done and they like
29:04
had to pull it down cuz it was like working too well and stuff. Yeah. But I
29:09
think everyone knew it was a joke but people just wanted to contribute. was
29:12
ironically working. Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what was going on. But I mean,
29:16
that's still a that's still a pretty good scam. Was like, haha, let's show
29:20
all the idiots. Oh, well, give me money.
29:25
Oh, terrible. Yeah. All right. No, no.
29:29
The way we make money is uh much much
29:32
more above board than all of that because we tell you right now, actually,
29:37
I guess they are just saying, "Send me money so I can have a jet." Okay. So,
29:42
watch this ad spot so that I can buy.
29:45
Definitely not a jet something. Not a jet, but so you can hire more people.
29:49

30:30
our title sponsor for LTX, which is
30:34
going to be freaking dope. I I saw the
30:37
booth list and I'm actually really stoked. I think I'm going to have a lot
30:40
of fun. We went from LTX being something that I was really not sure how hard I
30:45
wanted to sell because I wasn't sure how great it was going to be to LTX being
30:51
like flipping going to be awesome. Um, I
30:54
I almost wish I like was hosting a booth is going to be super fun and a new
30:58
experience for a convention for me, but like as someone who really enjoys
31:02
conventions and having the conventions that I go to be less and less about
31:06
tech, seeing this is really exciting. Well, it's VR, dude. You could just
31:10
leave people in VR and like go away. That's fair. I could probably do that.
31:14
There's a case toss. Um, there's a Corsair key swapping competition and
31:18
there's like leaderboards, prizes. You wouldn't believe how like some companies
31:23
we reached out. We were like, "Hey, u can we get some prizes?" And they were
31:28
like, "Sure, here's like boxes of like
31:31
lanyards and cool crap." Some companies we reached out and we were like, "Hey,
31:36
could we get some swag?" And they were like, "Boom, here's a Titan XP. Boom.
31:41
Here's multiple GTX 1070s. Boom. Here's
31:45
limited edition uh GeForce USB drives.
31:50
or boom, here's literally like I think
31:53
ASUS sent like 300 or 400 t-shirts.
31:57
What? So, there's going to be like an ASUS t-shirt for like almost like every
32:02
other person who's there. This thing is going to be swag central. Wow. Giveaway
32:07
central. Well, okay, this is the thing. At like packs and stuff, all the really
32:11
cool giveaways used to be from the PC guys. It was rarely the gaming
32:16
companies. They might give out a shirt, but the PC hardware groups like MSI used
32:21
to have sick giveaways. I remember that. Uh NZXT used to have sick giveaways.
32:25
NVIDIA used to like giving away like shields like candy that one year. They
32:30
would go into BOC. What my one of my favorite experiences that I ever had at
32:34
a PAX was an NVIDIA giveaway in the BOC section. I didn't get to participate in
32:38
it cuz we weren't in BOC yet. We were in like the free play area, but we could
32:42
hear it cuz it was right beside it. The first thing they did was the first
32:45
person to rip an AMD card out of their system and hand it to me gets a brand
32:50
new top-of-the-line NVIDIA card. I don't remember what card it was. I think it
32:54
was like a 580 or something. But any AMD card out of your system, you get a 580.
32:57
The next one was like some weird competition. You got another 580. And there's more. By the way, because not to
33:02
be upstaged by NVIDIA, let me tell you,
33:05
AMD is going to have some stuff there. Some stuff that I actually can't even
33:09
talk about. Yeah. And some of the stuff that I can't even talk about might be
33:14
getting given away. Yeah. So, like this
33:17
is gonna be a thing. This is gonna be crazy. Um, we're going to have never
33:22
before seen Linus Media Group videos that will never be seen. Uh, whether
33:26
they were rejected by the brand or that we couldn't get music licensing figured
33:31
out for them. There's going to be a Channel Super Fun that will probably
33:34
never see the light that will that might
33:37
never otherwise see the light of day. Uh there's gonna be um let's see what else
33:43
we got. I don't know a lot of this stuff. 16K Gaming's gonna be there. Uh
33:47
the arcade machine's gonna be there. The oil PC is going to be there. The one and
33:52
only. And we're doing a silent auction for BC Children's Hospital where I went
33:56
around and I found a bunch of relics of
34:01
Lionus Tech Tips. So there's a reverb drive from the original Wik server. Oh,
34:06
that's pretty cool. So there it's like that kind of stuff weird. I was going to
34:09
have uh I was going to have Colt and Steph check with you, but I actually wanted to see if you want to do the
34:13
Fallout bomb. Oh, for sick kids. I might
34:17
end up just winning it. You would just buy it. It's even mine. Like that's
34:24
technically That's why I want That's why I told them
34:27
they had to ask you about it. You want to do it? We can do it. Yeah. I'll
34:30
probably just end up sick. I told them I told them that they couldn't do the
34:34
Scrapyard Wars PC. That would probably hurt me a little bit. that I I I told
34:38
them that was the limit, but they were like they wanted like a build of some
34:41
sort. They can do the bomb. So, okay. If not the bomb, then we'll have the plasti
34:46
dip PC. Okay. So, there will be a build
34:49
there that you'll be able to And the bomb is just an empty case, by the way, but there will be like a case that was
34:54
featured on still all the uh wiring. So,
34:58
like you could it's it it has all the like front IO that would be in a normal
35:02
case. So, you could build a system in there. uh recreating the thermal setup
35:06
that I had so that it wouldn't crash at like any load is going to be difficult.
35:11
But yeah, that actually took like a long
35:14
time. So anyway, LTX is going to be sick
35:18
and it's uh next next weekend, the 29th. And if you somehow are like I'm teched
35:23
out right now or I don't want to see video games or something for a while, there's like jousting, sumo wrestling,
35:27
uh bungee runs in real life toss, Rocket League in real life. There's an insane
35:31
amount. We're going to have onstage unboxings. Two exclusive onstage
35:35
unboxings. I think our biggest issue is going to be that it's uh not like 2 days
35:39
cuz there's so much stuff to do. Well, we were worried there wasn't going to be like anything to do. I know. So, we were
35:44
really careful with it. Like ample amounts. Well, you know what? What we'll
35:48
probably do is if it's if everyone who comes has a blast and like tells three
35:52
friends and we have like, you know, thousands of people there next year,
35:55
then we'll we'll probably have to run it over a couple days. We'll just have to see how it goes. Ticket sales sucked.
36:00
Like we could have expanded it to a second day. We checked with the convention center, but like ticket sales
36:05
were kind of lame. So we were like not lame enough that we're like, "Yeah, we have to cancel this." But like one issue
36:10
is that it's in Canada. I know. I received a lot of messages about that
36:14
being a problem. I know. I know. But like what are we supposed to do? Like
36:18
cart 16K gaming to like LA?
36:22
Well, Seattle. Still. Yeah, I know.
36:26
Still. I know. like all right, other sponsors for the

39:30
Yeah. Oh, okay. Give a little knife thing. I'll try it a little later.
39:34
Uh, all right. Let's move on to uh let's move on to another topic here.
39:39
We could move on to the topic of hiring flow plane people.
39:43
Um, or we can move on to the topic of the Noctua fans. Interesting. Have you
39:48
not seen that? No. I kind of Okay. Yeah.
39:52
I was This was posted by Ventus on the
39:55
forum and apparently
39:59
uh so this is from r/build a PC posted by Kendalf. visible
40:05
manufacturing differences between Noctua fans made in Taiwan versus China.
40:12
Yeah, I'm really wondering what your opinion is on this actually.
40:17
I think the Twitch chat probably is too.
40:20
Wow. Yeah. So, the fan blades on the Taiwan fans are noticeably smoother and
40:24
more rounded. The flow acceleration channels on the
40:29
blades of the Taiwan fans are more defined.
40:35
The inner surface micro structures of the made in Taiwan's one have a distinct
40:40
water drop shape whereas the made in China are just a shallow triangular
40:46
cutout. I communicate I was going to say these sound like counterfeits even I
40:52
communicated these differences with Noctua and they claim that the
40:56
differences are within their manufacturing tolerances and do not
41:00
affect performance. But Noctua is known
41:03
for its reputation of the highest attention to detail. And I'm sure that's
41:09
al also really good. That the Noctua engineers designed these tiny details to
41:13
exacting specifications for some reason is basically what the the Reddit post
41:17
continues to say. You should try this one.
41:21
apparently. Now, I haven't heard them, but the made in China fans apparently
41:27
have a noticeably louder drone when spinning at the same RPM RPM as the
41:33
other fans. Now, Gamers Nexus is going to be
41:37
apparently um doing tests and going to be making a video on it, which is cool.
41:42
Or they're back. Uh check them out over at gamers nexus.com or uh they've got a
41:46
YouTube channel as well, so they'll probably make a video on this one. Good
41:49
guys over there. Yeah, they've been they've actually done a lot of good
41:52
content around this type of stuff. So, I enjoy that. This is more their
41:56
wheelhouse than ours anyway, but I'll definitely be paying close attention and
41:59
we can talk about it on W show in the future to how this works out. And I'm
42:04
definitely firing up an email over to my
42:07
contacts over there like what the heck
42:10
is going on because
42:14
like I I'll tell you guys something. So this this is sort of this is sort of uh
42:19
very sort of behind the scenes sort of in my brain how things work. Um one of
42:24
the business ideas that I would love to explore in the future as much as I love
42:29
selling digital influence which is a great business by the way because you
42:34
don't have any manufacturing costs you don't have to carry any inventory. Well,
42:40
I mean, okay, yes, you have to, you know, people like that, you know, and
42:45
equipment and all that kind of thing, but but but these are one-time costs.
42:48
Yeah. Not not per item. Yeah. You don't have to R&D a new freaking, you know,
42:54
nut and screw or whatever every time you get like it's brand just has to change
42:58
the lighting setup. It's somewhat more finite.
43:02
Um, so I like the business of selling digital influence, but one of the
43:06
companies that I would want to found when I have some more time and when I am
43:11
able to do it would be a manufacturer of
43:14
a physical product. And a lot of the philosophy that I'm
43:20
developing for this company is actually borrowed from my perception of Noctua.
43:25
Yeah, because I thought of Noctua that they were like
43:32
the founders were somehow deeply involved in aerodynamics research or
43:37
something at some university over there. I don't remember where I heard it, but
43:40
like someone told me that someone told them that like that was the background,
43:44
but that wasn't what happened at all. Rascom, the parent company of Noctua,
43:50
was just like a smalltime European
43:53
computer hardware distributor, like um
43:56
you know, like a like a like a you know, Frozen CPU before they went down. So, so
44:01
they were just a distributor of other people's parts. And then Frozen is
44:05
actually a perfect example of a company that also developed their own products
44:09
at one point and then completely went off the deep end.
44:13
Um, so when I found that out, I kind of went, well, how is it that your fans are
44:18
the best? And they kind of went, well, I
44:21
I went, "Do you have like brilliant amazing engineers?" And they were like,
44:25
"Well, yeah, we have like, you know, good engineers, but but they're not, you
44:29
know, leading researchers in the field of, you know, fluid dynamics or
44:33
anything. They're they're engineers." And I was like, "Well, then why are
44:37
yours better than someone else's?" And they're like, "Because we don't release
44:40
it until it's right." Because of attention to detail. Because we care.
44:46
And this doesn't sound like caring or attention to detail. No, it doesn't. So,
44:50
this is kind of like this is kind of shaking because this is kind of shaking
44:55
the foundation of a business that I, you know, haven't invested a dollar into
44:59
yet. Like, I'm I'm not even close to starting it. But one that I that I do
45:03
want to start at some point and that I that I had planned to build around
45:07
basically the knock to a philosophy. Charge as much as it takes to make a
45:14
profit on the best product you could build. So it's going to be expensive,
45:19
but make sure that what you build is the best. That was that was the idea. And
45:24
I'm I'm sort of, you know, I don't want to get ahead of myself because if
45:29
there's anything that I'm a fanboy of, it's Noctua fans. Yes. So, I'm not going
45:34
to freak out yet. I also want to point out that the link that I posted in the
45:38
chat for the uh Reddit conversation does have a video doing the sound comparison.
45:43
It does have a lot of uh frame color difference pictures. It has a lot of
45:47
comparison images for a ton of different things. This guy has done a lot of work.
45:52
He's obviously affected. He might be as much of a Noctua fanboy as you are.
46:03
Wow. Huh. Well, let's um so see how that
46:08
goes. I'm interested. Yeah. If this is if this
46:13
is true, what is what is the name of that
46:17
other brand? Um they're black and white fans. Oh,
46:22
noise blocker. Noise blocker. If this is true, will you actually try a noise
46:26
blocker fan? Wow.
46:30
Cuz this is Okay, this has been a like I don't bring it up much cuz we talked
46:33
about it a lot a long time ago and this conversation has
46:37
just concluded like there's nothing else to really talk about. It was just like
46:43
no, I found a fan. I really like it. This is this is perfect and I'm going to
46:47
use it forever and I'm going to use it forever and that's fine. It's a fan. you
46:51
you found one that fit your specifications. And it's not so much
46:55
that I refused to use Noise Blocker or something like that. It's just like if
46:59
Noise Blocker was better than an
47:02
NFF12, then it it like it really wasn't by much. And a big part of what I
47:08
trusted about Noctua and trust about Noctua trusted. I don't know. It's like
47:13
I don't know what I don't know what anything is anymore. A big part of what
47:17
a big part of what I have trusted about Noctua is inside information that I have
47:23
from being the product manager on their line and seeing real world RMA rates.
47:28
They don't die or like anything can die, but they generally don't. Very uncommon.
47:33
Very reliable. I'm I'm just saying right now, but if
47:38
all these other things could be different, maybe that could be different, too. Noise Blocker Black
47:43
Silent Pro fans look really
47:47
slick. I'm just saying. All right. Well, speaking of companies that um are
47:52
capable of both delighting and disappointing me, our next bit of news
47:57
posted by HK05 on the forum is
48:00
originally from videocards.com and is a rumor about
48:04
Intel. So, Intel is allegedly working on
48:07
multiple hex core coffee lake CPUs. So,
48:11
Coffee Lake for those of you not familiar will be the replacement to KB
48:17
Lake and that will be a mainstream processor. So, this tells us
48:22
a couple things. This tells us either that Intel of its own accord had been
48:28
finally intending to deliver a sixcore mainstream processor
48:33
anyway before AMD dropped Ryzen. Yeah.
48:38
or that Intel became aware that Ryzen
48:42
was going to be pretty good through corporate
48:45
espionage far before the rest of the industry knew about it and started
48:50
working on this um or just already had
48:53
it and just decided not to do anything with it. I don't think so because if
48:57
they'd already had it, they could have done it with KB Lake, right? Whereas
49:02
Coffee Lake is going to be a new platform. So, it's going to be a new
49:05
chipset. I think if they had been if
49:09
they had known about it two years ago, we'd have it in KB Lake. Yeah. Whereas
49:13
if they knew about it like a year and a half ago, then either they decided on
49:19
their own, it's time or or they weren't
49:22
willing to throw a fast one at motherboard manufacturers again so hard
49:27
with mainstream processors. Okay, that's it might be easier to throw a fast one
49:32
at them with motherboards that they won't have to make nearly as many of.
49:36
This could be very disruptive to Ryzen.
49:41
Yeah, but I think Ryzen has AMD as a
49:45
whole probably at this point gotten a lot more customers just because people
49:49
are more interested in them because they're tired of some of the crap from the other side. I can see that. Um, and
49:54
I feel like a lot of the communication that's currently going around AMD isn't
49:58
going to go away even if Intel releases a good processor because there are
50:01
certain like business practice things that people didn't like. That's true.
50:05
Yep. You can. So, I think those communication lines might keep them
50:08
going. And I mean, a lot of people will buy based on a particular
50:13
brand loyalty. Yeah. Or you'll see a post on PCMR that's like, "Oh, these are
50:17
great." And just go buy them. And if either product is like good, yeah, then
50:24
there's really nothing wrong with that. And people aren't going to fight super hard if they're both good products.
50:29
Like, you know, you go back, you go back far enough to when, you know, uh AMD and
50:33
NVIDIA were pretty comparable. So, like,
50:36
you know, we could look at the um like the X X800 era or something like that.
50:42
like an X800 Pro was like pretty
50:46
freaking similar to a 7800 GT or
50:50
whatever the contemporary one was. I can't I can't remember exactly. Um was
50:56
it 60 6800 6800 GT? I don't I don't
50:59
remember. Anyway, they were pretty darn close. It came down to whether you liked
51:02
Catalyst Control Center or was it still called Detonator at the time? I don't
51:06
remember. Whatever NVIDIA's driver was called. Thank you to everyone in the Twitch chat that is currently going
51:10
Intel. No, I love that that meme is still
51:15
going. All right. Anyway, here's kind of
51:19
the summary of these rumors. K version
51:23
will have a 3.7 GHz base with hyperthreading enabled. So that's 12
51:28
threads and the nonK running at 3.2 TDP
51:31
of 95 watts which should be quite doable. And then there will apparently
51:35
and that'll be the flagship. So that'll be the
51:38
8700, the 8700 series. Then the uh there
51:42
will be a six core i5 as well. Wow. Oh,
51:46
that's interesting. With that being the
51:49
slowest six core desktop, the 8600 K 3.6
51:53
GHz and then 95 watt TDP, no
51:56
hyperthreading. Wait, no. The slowest six core will be a Core
52:00
i58400. Wow. So that could be like that
52:03
could be like $170. $175 price point.
52:09
Oo, that one that the article is saying looks like a direct response to AMD's
52:14
Ryzen 5. Intel will also apparently introduce an actual mobile CPU with six
52:21
cores with much lower clock speeds and a 45 watt TDP. So, you'd expect to find
52:25
that in something like an Acer Predator 21X refresh or something along those
52:31
lines. Wow.
52:34
It's apparently Okay, so sorry. I I just got to give an update on the the nose in
52:38
chat. One more thing. It's apparently unclear at this time whether these will
52:41
require new motherboards, though I would have thought they would. Yeah. So, don't
52:45
quote me on that one. I suspect they will. Um, it it has divulged it. It
52:49
started with AMD no and then it it transferred into Intel no with this
52:53
article, which was funny, and now it's just turned into like anything no.
52:59
Perfect. It's just it's it's chaos. It's chaos in Twitch chat. The the bots's
53:04
banning everybody. It's just it's it's hell out there, man. You got to you got
53:09
to fight to survive.
53:13
All right. So, we can probably skim Yeah, there really isn't much going on
53:17
here. Oh, okay. Um, so Nintendo applied
53:21
for a patent for its uh Nintendo 64
53:24
controller. They reapplied for Nintendo 64 controller patents. Um, so there's
53:29
probably a Nintendo 64 classic coming after the SNES Classic. Um, but who
53:35
knows and it's not coming for a long time and it's pretty expected that that
53:39
would happen anyways. So, yeah. Cool.
53:42
Yeah. Can you like how much are NAS Classics at this point? Very expensive.
53:47
Um, apparently people have found some that got restocked. Hm. So, there's a
53:53
little bit of rumor going around that they might start actually manufacturing all them instead of just having them as
53:57
one year because it's so stupid. Yeah. Like it's just money. There's a lot of
54:02
people that want to have the set like Nintendo. Why do you hate money? Yeah. I
54:07
just I don't even They have so much. I I
54:11
really love it when people are like, "Man, that was a stupid decision from Nintendo. They're going to die as a
54:15
company." I'm like, "No, they're not. Nintendo can survive for like ever while
54:20
making terrible decisions because they have so much money. It doesn't even
54:25
matter. They they'll like fail repeatedly and then just release another
54:28
like Wii or Switch. The Switch is doing incredibly well. It's like, oh, the Wii
54:33
U didn't matter and no one knew it existed. That's fine. Nintendo will just
54:36
survive and then just smash the gaming world again with some other new console.
54:40
Doesn't matter. They have like a way more intense version of the Microsoft
54:45
like every second OS thing. Mhm.
54:49
Yeah. Um H this is kind of funny. Yeah.
54:54
Posted by Dasin on the forum. The original article here is from the
54:59
BBC. A Chinese mall introduces husband
55:03
storage pods for shopping wives. Husbands can play old school games like
55:08
Tekken 3 in the pods.
55:11
I'm I'm also going to chime in. I want this in North American malls. Okay. No,
55:16
not necessarily. Uh, apparently there's no ventilation or air conditioning. Some
55:19
guy sat in and played for 5 minutes and was just drenched in sweat. Okay, so
55:24
maybe better ones. Yeah, maybe better ones. So, these are glass pods where
55:28
women can leave their partners while they shop. Inside each individual pod is
55:33
a chair, monitor, computer, and game pad, and men can sit and play retro
55:37
1990s games. Service is currently free.
55:40
Yeah, but in the future, users will have to pay to scan a QR code. All right. Pay
55:45
and scan a QR code to use the service. They should just make it so that you
55:49
like pair up with the person that you're shopping with and as they make
55:53
purchases, it like gives you more time. You know what I mean? So, you
55:58
don't actually have to pay for it. It's just tied in with like some someone in your group is spending money at the
56:02
mall. So, you get to stay in your little pod. And they should make it so you can
56:06
like order food to it and everything. It'd be awesome. Uh, I just also want to
56:11
bring up that the the nos in chat switched to uh money no, Nintendo no,
56:16
and profit no. So, excellent. Good job. Thank you for the update. Keep going.
56:21
Um, love to see it. The original article here is from Tech Crunch. YouTube
56:26
launches its counterterrorism experiment for wouldbe ISIS recruits. And uh
56:32
basically what's going on here is that
56:36
now when a potential ISIS recruit searches for known extremist content on
56:41
YouTube using a predefined set of keywords, they will instead be
56:44
redirected to videos that deconstruct and confront the terrorist group. So uh
56:51
no. ISIS no. ISIS no. I get way too much
56:56
entertainment from this. I I am completely okay with this. So these are
57:00
curated YouTube videos debunking ISIS
57:03
recruiting themes. This open methodology was developed from interviews with ISIS
57:09
defectors, respects users privacy, and can be deployed to tackle other types of
57:13
violent recruiting discourses online. So that's where this gets kind of dicey.
57:16
That does get a little where is the line? Yeah. So the recruit the redirect
57:21
method began with an 8week pilot program enlisting 320,000 viewers that explored
57:27
some key insights around the kind of things that potential ISIS recruits
57:30
search for. To be fair though, this YouTube is not a government website.
57:34
Mhm. They can suggest and they have a suggestion algorithm. They can suggest
57:38
whatever they want to you. This is why stuff like Floatplane makes sense.
57:43
Except maybe not for that type of content. out. But like if you if you
57:47
want to specifically see one thing that you're searching for, going to one
57:50
website that has like a crazy machine learning algorithm that's trying to just
57:54
give you what it wants to give you is not necessarily the greatest way to go.
57:58
So effective deterrence apparently include documentary videos is a good
58:03
idea. Citizen journalism. That one's interesting. Videos that feature
58:07
religious debates and videos from ISIS
58:10
defectors. I wouldn't have thought necessarily the third one. The religious
58:13
debate one is weird because I could just see that fueling someone even more.
58:17
Well, maybe not. I mean, maybe these people are obviously Okay. Okay. I'm
58:23
going to be careful here. But I would
58:26
think that someone who manages to be converted to an
58:32
extremist is probably pretty um how you
58:37
say uh the the force would work on them.
58:41
They're probably pretty simple, suggestable. Yes. Right. Okay, there we
58:45
go. Yeah, it wouldn't take an Obi-Wan cuz he has a special gift for it. Just
58:49
basically anyone. Basically anyone. So, if you just throw a debate in front of
58:54
them, maybe that even Qui-Gon, who never successfully does it in the movies,
58:58
would be able to manage it. Too too many Star Wars memes. Sorry. Um, yeah, I
59:04
that's interesting. I like I I can't be upset
59:09
about it.
59:12
this particular instance I have no issue with at all. Um, seeing where this goes
59:17
could be a big problem. Uh, again, I personally think it's private company.
59:22
It's not a government agency. They can kind of do whatever they want. Uh, I
59:25
might not like it, but that would just incite people to use other platforms
59:28
more if they abuse it. So, just do that. Again, it's a it's a private company.
59:32
You have the freedom to use other things if you would like to. Um, hopefully they
59:38
don't take it much further than this. Trying to stop people from becoming
59:42
terrorists. Heck yeah. Super down with that. Trying to stop people from using
59:47
Edge browser.
59:53
And that's the WAN Show for today. Thank you guys for tuning in. We
59:58
will see you again next week. Same. Let's not actually leave yet. Oh,
60:02
there's two things that we still have to do. What do we have to do? One, uh, I'm
60:06
recruiting for Floatplane. If you want to be a developer and you want to come
60:09
join us, there's there's a video on our Facebook page and on our Twitter right
60:13
now and on Floatplane if you want to see it. Uh unfortunately, I am looking
60:18
specifically for Canadians or Americans
60:22
who have a degree in a highly related field like computer science or like
60:27
software engineering. It has to be very directly related. Um that is because of
60:31
like immigration law and all this kind of stuff. We we have already picked up
60:35
two guys uh that don't fit within that
60:38
realm and it's been a problem trying to get them into Canada and trying to keep
60:42
them employed because Canada doesn't want you to have people who are employed
60:46
who don't live in Canada when you don't have an office outside of Canada blah
60:49
blah blah blah blah blah blah. So, we're trying to make this process a little bit
60:52
easier and we're just going for Canadians or Americans with a full
60:55
bachelor's degree. That one's nice, too. I was Yeah, I was telling you earlier to
60:59
try it out. It's good. They're new flavors. Very good. Um, so yeah, if you
61:03
are interested, you want to apply back and front end. Um, check out those
61:07
videos. It goes into more specifics there about even what the heck float
61:10
plane is. Employment, no. What you'd be doing. Is that what people are doing
61:13
now? Employees, no. Canada, no. Edge,
61:17
no. Oh god, I love that. I don't know
61:20
why I love that so much, but I do. Also, we should go over what's on flow plan
61:23
right now. Right. But you can't miss two weeks in a row. That would be rough.
61:30
Dang it. I'm not signed in. What a nerd. I know.
61:34
What a nerd. Whatever. These guys have been watching for like I'm talking about
61:39
the uh the archive. If anyone actually
61:42
made it this far into the video, what's another like 30 seconds
61:47
fair? Shoot. That's not the That's the wrong one. What am I even doing? I'm
61:51
busy enjoying this
61:55
jerky. Hey, someone said Floatplane. Yes.
62:01
I'll take that meme
62:07
break. Sorry, I have to sign into
62:12
uh I have to sign into my password manager in order to sign in.
62:18
Oh. Oh, everything is
62:21
awful. All in the name of security though, right?
62:25
Pretty much. Yep. Yep. That's a
62:35
security. I'm just tired of having
62:40
accounts compromised. Yeah,
62:43
that was no fun. No, that wasn't a lot of fun. 200k. No, I will not be paying
62:49
you 200k a year.
62:53
And in response in response to your answer, no, I will not be doing it
62:58
either. Yeah.
63:02
All right. Let's see if that works. Boom. We're in. All right. Someone's
63:08
like 200k. Yes.
63:12
So, what do we got? Casino technology is f. That's actually a pretty good
63:16
episode. It's been a little The comments on that have been interesting cuz there
63:19
some people feel quite strongly about casinos. I didn't really expect that was
63:24
going to be a thing of like gambling addiction and all this kind of stuff. Yeah. What does that have to do with us
63:28
though? I don't know. It's just been an interesting comment section.
63:31
Interesting. Um necessarily been pointed at us. It's
63:35
just been interesting. Mezzanine update 11 is now here. Yay. Woo. Look at that.
63:43
It's actually coming along. Yeah.
63:46
Five truly unusual graphics cards. They
63:50
truly are unusual. I I got to give us credit for titling this one very
63:54
correctly. That's a fan. Oh. Yeah.
63:59
That's unusual. That's a thing. Yeah. Yep. The world's most amazing desk PC.
64:06
16K gaming build log.
64:11
D. See, I I I think you could have had an even clickier title for that. Um, I
64:17
don't think the interesting part there is the desk PC. It's all the monitors. I
64:21
think the thumb Well, that that's the subject of this one is actually building
64:25
the desk PC and getting everything mounted. So, there's this is part one of
64:29
two. Ah, so the other one focuses more
64:32
on the monitors. Part two might even do better. Part two is the one that I
64:37
expect to like beat 8K gaming. Yeah.
64:40
Okay. Okay. Cool. Um, yeah. Another 16K.
64:45
Yes. Another rant about Red Digital Cinema is coming. There you go. To
64:50
YouTube or you can watch it on Floatplane now.
64:54
There you go. $7,000 card. That's actually a pretty cool video. I watched
64:59
that. Um, DJI Spark videos up. Uh, what
65:02
else we got? I think uh I think that might be it. Oh, this project or that
65:07
thing is insane. The This is like actually insane. So, this was half of
65:11
the joke when I did that stupid thing with SLI red. Yes. Red. No.
65:19
You've started a monster now. I love it. It's so It's like 80% of the Twitch chat
65:24
right now. So, this was part of the joke when I said world's smallest SLI with
65:29
those stupid USB drives is that we actually will have the world's smallest
65:33
SLI coming up on the channel very soon. That's awesome. with 1080 Ti this time.
65:38
Like for real. All right, so thank you for tuning
65:41
in to the WAN Show. We will see you again next week. Same batch time. Same
65:45
batch channel. Bye. Oh, wait. No, before you go, uh, here's a link to where you
65:50
can join Floatplane Club. You should join so you can go binge watch all that stuff. Yeah, the 16K monitors setup desk
65:56
PC thing is pretty insane. It's like super dope. It's insane. Everybody stop
66:00
spamming so I can post my damn word to spam. Yes.
66:04
Stop. No. Wo. over.
66:12
Yes. Terrible.
66:17
Should make a shirt. Shirt. Yes.
