because you know there's nothing quite like a good
0:04
sneeze you know and then when you don't you just have kind of like that kind of
0:09
itchy runny nose feeling it's not very
0:13
pleasant not a fan but you know what i am a fan
0:19
of the WAN Show and that my friends is
0:23
what you're watching right now welcome to the WAN Show Friday are we live for
0:28
the whole nose thing yeah okay that's okay all right don't worry don't worry
0:32
the the the nose is live i almost sang the It's Friday song and then I started
0:36
to hate myself so much that I stopped wow that literally just happened i was
0:40
like I was like going to sing it and then I just had like a crushing personal
0:44
defeat and I stopped probably a good thing yeah yeah that's
0:50
fair um all right we have news today one of
0:56
them is that in the Philippines there was a massive leak of data and if you're
1:00
from there you should probably care yeah pretty much also a thing that hosted
1:06
Azeroth was shut down and if you're from there you care if you're from Azeroth
1:10
you care actually you could be from Earth and you might care too you have to
1:15
spend a lot of time in your basement on Earth that's all that's also true that's
1:18
a stereotype literally accurate for me stereotypes hurt us all i it's right
1:24
though in this uh Microsoft is suing the US government over their gag orders and
1:31
uh and their requests to effectively invade Microsoft users privacy
1:36
and the
1:40
Vololo is the first certified manned
1:44
multicopter more on this at 11 now my
1:49
understanding is the intro doesn't have music right now for some reason why i'm
1:53
not sure why every once in a while it just does that but it's
1:57
okay no okay i don't feel like it today
2:02
you don't even know what the song sounds like do you
2:05
don't sing that we could get a copyright strike
2:10
changing the song wait way to go i don't
2:13
want to get a copyright strike from where the heck massdrop okay massdrop
2:19
draw dups draw dups slash you should
2:23
there you go be fresh i heard they might be changing it again what really
2:28
wasn't me a screenshot is it because of us maybe i don't know i saw an ad today
2:32
that was you should like I saw a banner ad today that was you should um speaking
2:38
of you should um you should be a jackastic mofo that is to say if you
2:44
were the one who posted this original article from Tom's Hardware on the forum
2:49
what a segue microsoft says secret data
2:53
requests are now the norm sues everyone
2:56
in the country named Norman a very
3:00
unusual and unexpected response to such
3:03
a thing no actually they sue the US government and if you can read you
3:07
already knew that because it says it right on my screen over there basically
3:12
in a nutshell Microsoft Well no I was
3:15
pointing to I know I went the wrong way i pointed this way then was like "Oh
3:18
wait oh dang i put it at the screen the
3:22
screen's there no no no no no um
3:27
all right so yeah so what do we got what do we got for our notes here let me
3:30
bring them up microsoft filed a lawsuit in federal court against the US
3:35
government over its expanding use of gag orders for data requests which
3:39
effectively means that Microsoft sends a
3:42
data request but then also often with no
3:47
expiry date tells Microsoft that they are not allowed to inform the person
3:52
whose personal information they are disclosing to the government that any
3:56
request was made which is which is ridiculous because I mean if the if the
4:03
police want to enter your home
4:06
unless they have a search warrant they have to knock on the door and be like
4:11
"Yo are you in there?" You can be like "Yo I'm not." And then they and then
4:16
they leave in theory unless they do it
4:19
illegally unless they do it illegally but for some reason this has been going
4:24
on for years now so basically Microsoft
4:28
believes that these orders violate the first amendment so the freedom of speech
4:32
and of the press by disallowing the company to talk to its customers and
4:36
they have requested that the Department of Justice immediately issue a new
4:39
policy restricting the outofcontrol gag
4:42
orders from law enforcement if that doesn't happen they request Congress to
4:47
amend the Electronic Communications Protection Act to require government
4:51
notice for warrants so um I think that
4:55
should be a thing yeah I mean they're like basic rights this isn't the first
5:00
time that Microsoft has filed a lawsuit against the United States government to
5:04
protect their customer privacy um but they have only done so when they
5:08
considered the government's requests to be out of bounds and I think the out of
5:13
bounds here is just the sheer fact that it's it's probably it's normal now and
5:17
that being normal is kind of insane yeah because it's one thing for the
5:21
government to be like yo there's like a you know person who killed a lot of
5:26
people and we can't unlock his phone say for example just an example um that's
5:32
one thing but what Microsoft is objecting to here is that they're
5:38
basically just a a a data collection
5:41
service for the government when damn it that's their data to exploit yeah they
5:46
need to sell ads yeah the FBI can't be selling ads how are they going to target
5:51
us with the services and products that we so desperately need imagine the FBI
5:55
decided to start funding themselves by starting an ad agency
6:01
sometimes I just come up with the worst ideas
6:05
and if people did them everything would just be really bad
6:10
oh my it's like can can you be slightly less terrible of a person it's like why
6:15
do we give people these ideas it's not the first time it's happened on
6:19
this show no the Sony and Microsoft uh
6:23
drive bay things what was it i don't actually remember that one you get you
6:27
get a module for Xbox One or PlayStation 4 that looks like an optical drive you
6:32
install it in your computer it's an encrypted locked down system and it
6:36
makes it so you can play those games but powered by your computer's hardware on
6:40
your computer that's actually a really good idea though i do want that and the
6:43
and the bay should just cost as much as a console so so there's literally no
6:48
drawback for them and you should like have to water cool it or something that'
6:52
be uh that would be cool the reason to water cool again yes
6:58
uh on the subject of Microsoft this was posted by Trixari on the forum original
7:03
article here is from CNN Money trickstar
7:06
so it's probably Yep microsoft builds new AI bot designed specifically to
7:12
ignore Hitler because we all know what a disaster it was last time uh they
7:18
released an AI bot on Twitter who became
7:21
a sex fiend Hitler lover within a matter
7:24
of mere hours i actually thought that was a very interesting social experiment
7:28
i thought it was very interesting i think it I think it super hardcore backed up uh Musk and everyone else in
7:34
that realm that is like we should probably be a little bit careful about AI stuff yeah so this one is pretty
7:40
different um it's actually called Damn
7:43
it i forget what it's called captionbot that's right so Captionbot which sounds
7:48
way more boring lets you upload an image
7:51
doesn't know what this is though you know it should just say cover of Time
7:55
magazine you know you could there's a workaround so Caption Bot allows you to
7:59
upload an image and their examples work pretty well so okay well there you go
8:04
and it will analyze the image and say what it is so I think it's a young man
8:08
jumping in the air on a skateboard let me see if I can get this so you guys can
8:12
actually see the whole dang caption here yay touchcreen okay so that's pretty
8:16
good let's try another not not a canned one i created some examples oh so we'll
8:21
start with a W show thumbnail oh my god
8:24
analyzing image have you done this yet i'm not really confident but I think
8:28
it's a stuffed animal and he seems And he seems Oh that's not too bad uh
8:34
actually last time it said it was a man and a stuffed animal oh and I wasn't
8:37
sure which of us was the man and which was the uh bear
8:43
oh my god let's try another shall we
8:48
h a mouse is it i think it's a cell phone actually
8:52
a fairly fair guess that would be okay based on that that it does have a number
8:56
pad on the side for some freaking reason yeah that's a With that said I've never
9:01
dialed a 12 okay good call try another up no no I
9:08
don't want to use your photos shut up obviously your photos are Why would you
9:13
want to use the All right what else we got here okay okay so I picked up picked
9:17
out some thumbnails i'm trying to figure out how good our thumbnails are i think
9:21
it's a picture of a car all right good job good job Captionbot let's try
9:26
another i should be more confident
9:29
it's a picture of a car i mean okay this
9:33
really feels like you should get this right because it does literally say
9:38
Apple Watch literally not a cell
9:43
phone apple Watch i see why it's grabbing cell phone but I think it
9:47
should also look at like dimensions like it's grabbing cell phone because
9:51
the screen and stuff yeah oh I see relative relative
9:56
dimensions of the items on the screen and because there's not that many aspect
10:01
ratio phones it could just be like Samsung in easy mode like grandpa mode
10:05
you know they have that right okay so I got one more for you guys i think this
10:09
is my favorite one twitch plays Pokemon is in the stream oh apparently Twitch
10:14
plays Pokemon is in the stream hi Twitch plays Pokemon oh it gave me a different
10:17
answer last time but this is good too
10:23
what a clock that's on a surfboard yeah
10:27
okay okay caption bot uh last time it told me it was a sign attached to a lamp
10:31
post try it again see what it does like in
10:35
rapid succession so is it learning then is it
10:39
trying to get better basically the answer is that work is terrible can you
10:44
tell it what it actually is okay can you can you do this what are you doing it's
10:48
just like no what are you doing caption bot what what what caption bot what are
10:55
you doing upload photo no this one open
10:59
oh I broke it i officially broke caption bot it's done no Lionus couldn't it's
11:04
over and it didn't even take Hitler pictures this time it was It was a
11:08
picture of an animated you and me that's kind of depressing that's unfortunate we
11:12
broke We broke caption bot it was like no these people are far too evil
11:17
htc
11:20
announces the HTC 1
11:24
billion because numbers have no meaning
11:28
anymore first we had the one then we had
11:31
the one followed by the one and now
11:36
we've got the 10 okay though but seriously the one M7
11:42
M8 and M9 were the predecessors so now we've done away with the M we've done
11:46
away with the one and we're just the 10 so this was originally posted by Doc
11:50
Swag on the forum the original article here is from Anand Tech posted by Mr
11:56
joshua Ho who has a hands-on with the HTC10 calling it a fresh start look at
12:03
these pictures taken outside so pretty i think the exposure Good job Joshua
12:08
joshua is like a photo dork so I suspect anything he did with respect to the
12:12
exposure was done on purpose for art purposes i believe personally that
12:16
nothing is good until Brandon says that it is
12:22
that is the kind of sheeple thinking that if Batman versus Superman is said
12:27
to be bad by everyone if Brandon say it
12:31
was good i don't know but if Brandon says that it's good therefore it is good
12:35
it was Batman versus Superman good
12:38
he says "Eh therefore it is eh."
12:42
But it can't be bad it's just eh
12:45
that is not a motion picture and still photograph no because no because Brandon's personal biases are very real
12:51
and very existent i mean he would go into The Revenant and say it's the most
12:56
amazing thing ever because he loves the director even if the even if even if the
13:05
premise well even if the entire movie was basically unwatchable for me for the
13:09
same reason that the Thomas Covenant series of books just gets to the point
13:14
where it's like what because when the
13:18
writer can't do anything other
13:22
than he was closer to the brink of death
13:26
than he had been before but then he pulled through it didn't it
13:31
like happen and then he became even closer to the brink of death but like I
13:35
think it like Yeah but happened is relative i was watching a great
13:39
documentary on Curiosity Stream um where
13:43
the guy who finds the Holy Lance okay
13:47
when they're like trapped in some city or some nonsense and inspires the the
13:52
Christian crusader army to fight back against the the hordes of enemies
13:57
outside the wall who they did defeat that definitely did happen from accounts
14:01
on both sides of the conflict says he's going to prove that
14:06
the lance is real with a trial by ordeal
14:09
okay he says he's going to walk through a bonfire and if he survives then you
14:16
know God says the lance is real and no
14:20
trial by ordeal is a thing just like trial by combat like if you won you were
14:23
you were right i I wouldn't want to trial by combat against this guy it
14:26
wouldn't matter if I was right anyway i think that's kind of how that stuff
14:30
worked back then yeah pretty much so he
14:33
volunteers to do a trial by ordeal where he walks through a bonfire there are
14:38
eyewitness accounts that he walked through
14:42
completely unscathed untouched by the flame and
14:45
lived there are other eyewitness accounts that he was covered in burns
14:51
and all the accounts agree he died shortly
14:56
afterward you can't have it both ways
15:00
i mean what he died from something completely unrelated is that is that how
15:04
it happened so basically anything that's word of mouth I'm kind of looking at
15:09
going you know what screw off because that didn't happen you weren't being
15:15
carried on a board and like unable to
15:20
move to save your son who is being I
15:25
don't know if is that is that a is that a spoiler sure it happens within like
15:29
the first 10 minutes i mean I just ruined it so well yeah so basically we
15:33
made you the bad guy so you don't go from not able to move at all and like
15:37
like full of infection you also said those things to No but that also happens
15:41
like very early on to the things that happen later in that in that period of
15:46
time that not is not a thing so especially wasn't a thing with medicine
15:51
being what it was there so my suspension of disbelief only goes so far you have
15:55
to you have to exist within whatever world it is so okay I'm going to derail
16:00
this a little bit for a second fine because one thing we have to move on
16:03
there are no trains in the movie we have a billion topics you can't derail it
16:07
someone in the chat was like "Trial by Twitch that would actually be amazing so
16:13
you have to you know how roasts were like a thing for a little while?" Yeah
16:17
they should just scratch that whole concept and then just start having
16:21
celebrity roasts where someone just sits in front of a camera and just gets
16:26
wrecked by Twitch chat
16:30
no one would survive it no that's not
16:33
even a roast that's just evil murder
16:37
that's just mean well that's kind of like trial by ordeal all right so let's
16:42
get back back on topic here back to the
16:46
HTC10 they wanted to h you know what i'm
16:49
not going to talk about what the name cuz there is no logic i don't care what
16:52
their reasoning was uh it's got a Snapdragon 820 4 gigs of LPDDR4 memory
16:56
32 or 64 gigs of nan plus micro SD expansion
17:00
oh nice um it is not an SSD or like NVMe
17:05
SSDbased storage solution it is still using uh whatever it's called it's not
17:10
in my notes i was reading an article about it emmc but it's like gen whatever
17:14
it's better it's faster up to 150 megabyte per second sequential rights
17:18
which sequentials doesn't necessarily tell us everything we need to know but
17:21
that is significantly faster than eMMC solutions from the past so HTC claims
17:25
that the storage is not going to significantly harm the uh the 10's
17:30
performance it's got a 5.2 2 in 1440p super LCD 5 display no AMOLED which
17:36
should allow them to skirt the issues of burn-in but have to face head-on the
17:41
issues of increased power consumption though they claim it is more power efficient than the Galaxy S7 with the
17:46
same 3000 mAh non-replaceable battery it has a 12 megapixel rearfacing camera
17:50
which optical image stabilization good job Colton
17:55
stabilization also have you noticed just to Colton for
17:59
a second the last two weeks is just like the very beginning of both docs is like
18:04
Microsoft and then we go into other things it's almost like he's trying to
18:09
create a crappy W show out because honestly I felt like he's letting the
18:12
quality slip consistently over the last little while like this is the worst one
18:15
we've seen in at least a month y so basically horrible um he did manage
18:20
though I'll give him this to include that the 5 megapixel frontfacing camera
18:24
has optical image stabilization as well he bought you lunch and you still ragged
18:28
on him acquired you're a bad person i I paid for um it's got a capacitive
18:31
fingerprint sensor that they claim responds in as little as 200
18:35
milliseconds features Qualcomm quick charge 3.0 USB 3.1 over USB type-C which
18:40
is pretty freaking cool because if you pull pictures off of your phone manually
18:43
like I still do just because I don't know it helps me keep
18:48
organized um then that's a really nice thing to have and they're claiming 92%
18:53
NTSC color reproduction for the display which is about 96% of Adobe RGB they
18:58
have abandoned however the front-facing
19:01
dual speaker setup no yes they have oh
19:05
so it does still have two speakers one is a sort of highs and mids tuned
19:10
front-facing speaker that also acts as your handset speaker when you have the
19:13
phone against your head hello you know talking to people like this and the
19:16
other one is a more basset tuned rearfacing one this reduces the bezel
19:19
size but they claim that they have been able to retain
19:23
the front-facing audio quality that HTC users have come to
19:28
expect so I guess we'll find out um yes
19:31
uh in response to all of the bazillion
19:34
of you asking in my Galaxy S7 review which finally went live last night I
19:40
will be doing a review of the HTC10 however you will have to wait because I
19:45
just wrapped up my iPhone SE video which I'm going to film probably Monday
19:49
morning so I'm switching to the LG G5 i'll have to use that for a couple of
19:53
weeks and then I will do the HTC10 i know it makes my phone videos much later
19:59
than everyone else who is already posting their like hands-on first
20:03
impression unboxing and then probably a couple days from now we'll have their
20:07
reviews up but I like to think that the difference between my phone reviews and
20:11
everyone else's is that while I do not pretty much touch on like performance
20:15
numbers at all there's a lot of things that I really don't do as well as anyone
20:18
else um I like to think that I try to
20:22
capture the experience of using it for an extended period of time which
20:25
requires me to actually use it so there
20:28
you have it i will be switching to it as my daily driver once I'm done with the
20:32
G5 uh so we don't have an original poster
20:35
from the forum on this one but the Philippines databach uh election hack
20:41
thing this was posted by James Temperton over at wire.co.uk is I quote freaking
20:49
huge he's from the UK i would have thought it would be like bloody massive
20:55
yeah that's more something I would say yeah freaking huge is like literally
20:59
that's about as American as it gets i basically wrote this come on James maybe
21:02
he is American look at this guy look at
21:06
this guy he's a hipster i do I do
21:09
appreciate his beard though the beard is pretty majestic it's pretty fantastic
21:14
and like the I like the hair too he's got good hair he's He's styling got good
21:18
hair overall i mean he I mean his shirt's on so I can't tell if it's like
21:22
overall good hair but Right you know yes
21:25
maybe another Maybe another Dennis like moaning i I don't Maybe it hurts oh yeah
21:33
these girth perks right g
21:36
Oh can you not
21:40
wow in front of the children
21:43
the brand is not a children that's true child
21:47
um all right so it's not multiple small people
21:52
this is kind of a big deal um if you
21:56
participated in the election in the Philippines then
22:00
um yeah your fingerprint records are
22:04
basically leaked pretty much things are bad so
22:09
228,605 email addresses 1.3 million passport numbers and 15.8 fingerprint
22:14
records i was going to read off yours i think you're looking down my Maybe I am
22:19
maybe that's where I got all the information from you got a tattoo of all
22:22
of that information uh if you lose a passport you can change it you like
22:26
things can be solved but one of the problems is that the passport numbers
22:31
and expiry dates for overseas Filipino
22:34
workers have leaked as well which is like not great so it's probably not
22:39
going to be 1.3 million passport numbers
22:42
for overseas Filipino workers which like to get this fixed I wouldn't be super
22:46
surprised if you had to physically go back uh 15.8 8 million fingerprint
22:52
records um which is like this is this is
22:55
this is great security expert Troy Hunt told Wired
22:59
um short of using a belt sander you
23:03
can't change a fingerprint and even that doesn't work by the way uh so losing a
23:08
password big deal losing fingerprint
23:12
data huge deal
23:16
uh apparently Chris Johnson said that it's the data not the image itself yeah
23:20
so it's more like a it's more like a mathematical representation of the
23:23
fingerprint not the actual image of the fingerprint who cares helps a little bit
23:29
you should be able to rebuild it it in theory be able to rebuild the parts that
23:32
matter in theory someone could potentially rebuild it but it would be
23:37
more difficult to use that information for identity fraud or anything else like
23:41
that although here comes an open-source tool that maps a fingerprint to your
23:46
mathematical data of a fingerprint the leaked database was a mess apparently
23:51
file names suggesting hasty copy pasting of old versions and the attack took
23:55
place on March 27th the group describing itself as anonymous which basically
23:59
doesn't mean anything i I know a surprising number of people that think
24:03
anonymous is a group
24:06
which kind of sort of has done sort of
24:09
maybe some things sometimes right except that also not really also not really
24:15
because it's usually like small groups that all band together and then say that
24:18
they are or don't or don't
24:21
so like but no like like the like I've talked to people who are who think that
24:26
anonymous like has like a you know a leader and like and like everyone like
24:31
knows each other and stuff but who is this forchan yeah
24:36
exactly that's what I want to know back
24:39
at 11 so the data has been since
24:43
mirrored and widely shared um yeah so
24:50
there you go correct on a more amusing note this was
24:54
originally posted by Duck Dodgers the UK government has set up an international
24:59
Olympics of esports the first two-day e-game competition set
25:05
for Rio alongside the actual Olympics
25:10
now I think instead of like instead of like carrying a torch through your
25:14
country you carry like a Minecraft torch yeah you could go like a really big
25:18
Minecraft map where is our Minecraft run for like a week we had one it used to be
25:23
over there i don't know where it is
25:26
did you find it no it used to be right here like a week ago oh someone moved
25:31
our Minecraft torch i totally want it now
25:37
okay that's that's a shame anyway um so
25:40
we do have some more information about that not much mind you um it's a medal
25:46
only competition any nation is welcome to field an E team in the EG games four
25:51
countries are confirmed so far as of last week or the week before whenever
25:55
this was actually in the dock this is not a new article britain Canada Brazil
25:59
and the USA and it is unknown exactly which games
26:05
um will be featured
26:08
so there you go the thing that offends
26:11
me though about this headline offends you offends me
26:17
yeah excuse me why is the physical
26:20
Olympics the actual Olympics h is this not an equally valid
26:28
Olympics i'm just kidding um yeah no
26:31
it's cool i mean I don't necessarily think that with all the issues there are
26:36
around the structure of the Olympics that we actually that esports needs an
26:41
equivalent to the Olympics um especially at the pace that esports moves i mean
26:46
can you imagine only having having like a grand competition every four years
26:50
yeah it would be completely different games being played completely different
26:55
sets of athletes probably ethletes excuse me sorry um completely different
27:00
sets like it wouldn't even like you'd go
27:04
from one where like everything is played on like controllers to one where
27:09
everyone has clued in and uses a keyboard and mouse to one where everyone
27:12
is using motion controllers and VR headsets and that could realistically
27:17
happen in eight years yeah completely oh
27:20
my goodness one thing okay just to talk about Olympics for a very short period
27:23
of time one thing I don't understand there's massive like financial problems
27:26
with the Olympics why don't they hold it in the same place twice in a row and
27:30
then move on because that would be smart i've never
27:34
understood that or just like re you
27:38
don't have to rebuild or or revisit like past locations but very recently past
27:43
locations well China's hosting it again but not in Beijing so
27:50
okay cool why do we have to spend money on
27:55
these buildings all the China's crazy i've been watching a lot of
27:59
documentaries lately i was watching one about China's economy and how it is
28:03
basically made out of matchixs and Tinder and flamethrowers but it works
28:09
not for long um yeah the the like the
28:13
the way they're building right now is completely unprecedented in history like
28:17
there's one city that I think is spending something like 60 billion
28:22
pounds over a span of eight years or something like that pretty much
28:26
completely rebuilding like the like the
28:29
number of new bridges and skyscrapers and roadways going up is is completely
28:35
unfathomable and um meanwhile all the
28:38
all the staterun uh all the staterun suppliers of raw materials like steel
28:42
are kind of just operating at a loss or or just barely staying afloat and like
28:48
like it yeah it's basically very precarious over there which like I'm
28:53
talking about it really casually but it's actually sort of a disaster waiting
28:56
to happen to be fair a lot of places are currently sort of a disaster waiting to
28:59
happen if you look at them at a documentary level like a lot of
29:02
countries are just like wow like look at can what are we going to do
29:07
about what how are we going to make money we just lost oil um like that was
29:12
actually like a massive percentage of our income wheat
29:16
we like [ __ ] man like we're actually in
29:19
a lot of trouble so I was your economy based on wood and oil we have wood
29:24
issues selling them to the states there's like sanctions there so we like
29:28
can't really do it very well so the American like forestry economy can stay
29:32
strong that's a thing and oil not really a thing anymore
29:37
[ __ ] well we have water yeah which like
29:42
actually the economy of water is an extremely interesting the problem the
29:45
problem with Canada's Canada's exportable resources is that they're the
29:50
kind of thing that someone's more likely to conquer you for
29:54
because they're it's not that practical to like ship water which isn't to say it
30:00
isn't done like you said the the economics of water are very very
30:03
interesting they actually really super are if you're if you're interested in a
30:07
topic that sounds boring but is actually quite quite interesting bottled water
30:10
economy of water speaking of things that sound boring and
30:15
are interesting to him um Paulie oh you
30:18
know what we'll use the uh the BBC article here yes yes um I will try to
30:24
restrict my amount of time talking about this um so a server that I'm going to
30:29
pronounce wrong because my last name is French but I'm not actually France
30:33
called Nostralius which just means nostalgia in French apparently someone
30:37
told me that i could be wrong that doesn't sound like shut i don't know man
30:42
um was shut down sorry sorry i will let
30:45
you continue but captions whenever you know you're on a mainstream site when
30:50
you read a caption like this gamers can
30:53
play as mythical characters in World of Warcraft thank you BBC
31:00
thank you okay with a cinematic screenshot carry on um so they've been
31:06
doing this for about a year it got kind of insane well you haven't said what
31:09
they were doing right anyways I'm trying
31:12
to condense it and I'm skipping over massive important things anyways this
31:15
group called Nostalius was running a private World of Warcraft server so
31:20
basically they took like cached versions of code and reprogrammed things on their
31:24
own like rescripting boss events and doing all this crazy stuff even working
31:29
on code in order to attempt to cluster servers together and like it was pretty
31:34
nuts to be clear yes it's game software
31:37
piracy yes it infringes Blizzard's copyright definitely carry on blizzard
31:42
definitely 100% has the right to completely crap all over them they
31:46
definitely have the right to do that um let's pick up on they've been doing this
31:50
for about a year they've been doing this for about Yeah they have 800,000
31:55
registered accounts and about 150,000
31:58
active players which is a huge amount of
32:02
people and there's been tons of private WoW servers over the years this one
32:07
stood out the reason why this one stood out is for a few different reasons one
32:10
of the main ones is that they are nonprofit essentially they don't take
32:14
any form of donations and there was no way to give them any money they were
32:18
just doing it because they wanted the server to be up all of their game
32:22
masters all of their admins all of their everything for everyone that worked on
32:26
the server at all or helped anyone were not allowed to have like normal
32:30
characters in the game like a game master was not allowed to have a character that was a raider because that
32:35
could be seen as unfair because they could help themselves right so like it
32:39
was it was very balanced in that way they were very aggressive at going after
32:42
people that were hacking they were very aggressive at going against people that
32:46
were botting or far or selling gold or selling accounts or everything they
32:50
bandwaved people all the time it was this kind of sanction and to be
32:54
completely honest I played on it my brother played on it my dad played on it
32:57
it was super cool because the current version of World of Warcraft sucks in
33:02
terms of social interaction everyone just sits in something called a garrison
33:05
which is their own little private area does everything from there teleports
33:09
everywhere that they need to go doesn't talk to anyone never needs to talk to
33:12
anyone it's terrible that's why their subscriber numbers are tanking and they
33:16
decided to stop recording subscriber numbers you probably wouldn't um I solo
33:20
I soloed everything when I played WoW i didn't want to talk to anyone
33:25
yeah i was one of those like jackass like mage solo everything people did you
33:31
get to max level no I didn't cuz I like
33:35
I've had to Did you enjoy the amount of difficulty in the game
33:40
it's excessively easy now
33:43
oh oh okay like ridiculously yeah you
33:46
basically couldn't skip an area if you wanted to solo yeah and you have to like
33:50
grind through things and things are actually relatively hard actually for a mage they're usually a little bit easier
33:54
but for other stuff is like kind of difficult and blah blah blah blah blah
33:58
blah there's no like That's why mages have high intelligence ratings cuz
34:02
they're smart enough to be a mage wow
34:05
there was area of effect area of effect
34:08
yeah that's what it's all about someone made a video about how stupid the
34:12
current version of WoW is by picking a healer going into an instance and
34:16
refusing to ever heal they made it through the entire thing without stopping
34:21
how it was a relatively low level instance but like still you should have
34:24
to actively play your class and you just don't anyways um it started to actually
34:30
become a threat because that server was getting bigger than actual you didn't
34:33
clarify that Nostalius was running vanilla WoW not the current WoW that he
34:39
doesn't like yeah from like 2004 2006ish
34:42
the like very oldest form of World of Warcraft and they were going along a
34:46
patch schedule that was very similar to Blizzard's patch schedule so if you
34:50
played from the start it was like the beginning of World of Warcraft with like
34:54
no raids and all this kind of stuff and then like MC gets added and ZG gets
34:58
added and like Enourage was just about to come out and it was super cool and
35:02
people were doing BWL and whatnot anyways it was great blizzard's like "No
35:08
closes everything down." Um OVH were the
35:12
people that were hosting them sent the cease and assist to OVH so OVH was like
35:17
"Okay well we have to shut your server
35:20
off." Gave them a little bit of time i didn't even know that they didn't just
35:24
send it to the guys that were running it directly i feel like they're hard to get in touch with i think they did both i'm
35:28
not really sure i know i know they also sent it to OVH um so they gave them a
35:31
little bit of time they had from like I think it was Thursday to Sunday or
35:35
something so they had a few more days with the server up um I was there for
35:40
the last like half an hour I recorded i can't send give it anywhere because if
35:44
it goes anywhere they're just gonna take it down but I recorded like the last few
35:47
minutes just outside of Orgramar where there's like thousands and thousands of people my computer usually gets over 200
35:52
FPS in that game it was getting two wow
35:55
there was like actually thousands of people all standing in one pile and
35:58
people were just spamming spells and stuff it was kind of nuts um it was kind
36:02
of cool but nuts uh there was like the
36:06
GMs were teleporting into cities and people were forming like giant circles
36:10
around them and everyone was like thanking them and stuff it was super weird it was super weird anyways it
36:15
sounds like the nerdiest yet like kind of coolest thing yes server shutdowns
36:19
are usually kind of like that um anyways there's a there's a change.org petition
36:23
which I don't think I have the uh link for right now because I'll I'll go find
36:28
it i didn't get it in the doc it has almost 100,000 signatures i think last
36:33
time I looked it was above 90,000 it might have been above 80,000 i don't
36:37
remember which one it was um but the petition isn't even necessarily like let
36:41
us have our server back because honestly that's probably not what should happen
36:47
because especially a server of this magnitude with this many people trying
36:51
to play a single game it probably shouldn't be a private server run by
36:56
people for no profit it should probably
37:00
That's You're going the wrong direction Captain yeah I can't if you go to
37:07
website it should be relatively easy to find
37:12
there i don't know where it's going to be anyways um it should be ran by
37:18
Blizzard that's what should happen whether they hire all the guys that ran
37:22
Nostalius and get them to run an official version or whatever that's
37:26
probably what should happen and the petition was largely just about like
37:30
"Hey guys do something there's a massive
37:34
community of people that want to play this game your current game is [ __ ] keep
37:40
the current game going whatever no one cares." Also well I'm sure some people
37:44
care i don't care um also open vanilla or progressive servers or whatever one
37:49
of the team leads I don't remember his name right now of the original World of
37:52
Warcraft the like one of the most infamous versions of the game has signed
37:57
this petition and has sent an a letter to Mike Moore Blizzard CEO being like
38:02
"Dude you guys are doing it wrong." One of the biggest things that people are
38:06
frustrated about right now is this this petition has 104,000 freaking signatures
38:12
105 almost more accurately um and
38:15
Blizzard has said nothing publicly about
38:18
it at all what are you doing don't know don't
38:24
want to i don't want to play basically everyone that I talked to in that game
38:27
my entire guild my dad my brother everyone I talked to about it doesn't
38:31
really want to play on a private server it's sketchy you don't know if it's
38:35
going to continue to exist you kind of want your character to continue to be a
38:38
thing i would love to pay for the freaking game
38:43
let all of us give you money be greedy
38:47
the CEO of Activision is like one of the most notoriously greedy dudes ever be
38:52
greedy open vanilla or progressive servers take our money millions you'll
38:59
make tons just do it one of their one of
39:03
their excuses just do it one of their excuses is that they lost the source
39:08
code for vanilla which is
39:11
obscene for one and for two these guys
39:14
are literally building it from the ground up and it 100% felt perfect there
39:19
was glitches and stuff but like are you kidding me classic WoW had glitches out
39:23
the butt don't don't don't try to like rose tinted glasses that that game was
39:29
broken it's okay like I almost think
39:32
their version was better get these guys to script it they'll do it right there
39:36
are people out there that have tons of videos on all of the fights there's
39:41
there's exact data from databases that
39:44
were ran back in the day like Wowhead and a few other ones that I don't
39:47
remember um that have exact drop percentages for different items like it
39:52
can very easily be rebuilt and the
39:55
source code is gone is a [ __ ] excuse
40:00
there we go all right fine i will acknowledge it people are telling us the
40:03
stream is breaking periodically we know i already replied in the chat we know we
40:08
got to continue the show we are not dropping frames we can't make a show
40:12
about how Twitch's server is glitching
40:15
out because I'm pretty sure it's on their side they're asking me to fix it there is nothing I can do because we are
40:21
encoding frames we are transmitting frames there you go um all right so
40:26
let's uh actually we should probably do our sponsors first up is master so you
40:32
can head over to
40:37
drewan-k7xx-y and the reason you might want to do that aforementioned thing is
40:41
actually because they've got a drop running on a pretty good product right
40:45
now the red edition the what now the red edition yeah it's the red edition of uh
40:50
this this product right here that I actually reviewed very similar to the
40:55
Sennheiser HD 600's in terms of the sound signature uh very comfortable
41:00
large very large ear cups um kind of a hard foam but it should mold to your
41:05
head over time um very open very open
41:09
design really nice headphones and they've got them over on MassDrop for a
41:14
pretty wicked price so all you got to do is head over to
41:20
dropdrops/wam-k7x-y we really got to clean up those vanity URLs and you can
41:24
check that out massdrop has all kinds of cool deals whether it's on knives I tell
41:28
you I lost my uh Really
41:32
yeah oh crap the black one yeah the uh
41:36
Kershaw knife yeah was a Kershaw knife yeah anyway that was one that they had a
41:39
while back they have like keyboards key caps gone oh it's like I accidentally
41:44
tried to take it through airport security so they did not want me to do
41:48
that yep um one of the airport security
41:51
guys probably has a cool knife now no he throws it in the garbage they have to
41:57
until the end of the day that's okay i had I had flipped it like
42:02
so many times that it kind of stuck a lot so you can Okay so if if it's too
42:07
loose you can tighten them up no it was too much yeah i even oiling it didn't
42:11
help yeah like the spring wore out it was a spring assisted one so um all
42:17
right we've also got Squarespace
42:22
so if you're not familiar with our talking points for Squarespace you
42:25
should you should watch the W show more
42:28
often yeah that's right squarespace allows you
42:34
to build the website you want to build so whether you should find yourself
42:38
wanting to make a website about an art project that you completed or a sports
42:42
tail I failed or a sports team that you
42:47
participate in or some uh oh I don't know like Etsy type craft products that
42:51
you want to sell online Squarespace has got you covered you can pick from any
42:57
one of their beautiful templates and oh no I'm not going to be able to say it
43:01
while he's gone you should and if And you
43:09
I found a square where that takes up space what also known as a cube
43:18
you should probably leave
43:21
okay so Squarespace has 247 tech support
43:25
it starts at only $8 a month and you get a free domain if you buy Squarespace for
43:30
a year you can start a trial with no credit card required so go ahead and do
43:35
it you should start building your website today and if you use offer code
43:40
Linus to get 10% off your first purchase
43:43
then uh you will save some money
43:46
squarespace you should build it beautiful
43:51
these are getting more and more awkward they are speaking of awkward you know
43:54
what's awkward doing work and not getting paid for it not because people
43:59
weren't willing to pay you but because you forgot to send the bill were you
44:04
that kid in high school who got a zero on your assignments because you
44:08
completed it and never handed it in
44:13
i do that sometimes not that often but sometimes have you done it more than
44:17
five times probably yeah so you got to put your hand up yeah let's get that
44:22
hand up there get it right up in there uh sorry what are we talking about right
44:27
uh fresh books fresh things fresh books is all about tracking the time spent the
44:34
materials required the expenses incurred
44:37
on projects for small business owners so whether you run a dance studio a
44:42
plumbing operation uh you know small office IT maintenance sort of business
44:48
or uh um you know you uh you put out fires put out fires well no I think
44:54
they're mostly city workers i don't think they have to use Fresh Books but I
44:57
know they weren't originally if you are self-employed Fresh Books let lets you
45:01
keep track of all that businessy accounting nonsense that people don't
45:08
necessarily want to deal with and puts it all in one place so that it is easy
45:11
for you to do so you don't have to spend all of your time in front of your computer at the end of the day when
45:15
you're tired doing accounting instead of working on making your business grow so
45:20
if FreshBooks sounds good to you visit
45:23
freshbooks.com/win and enter when in the
45:27
how did you hear about us section the link will be in the video description
45:30
assuming of course that you're watching this on YouTube and not on Twitch TV
45:36
so way back you used to pay the fire department and then the fire department
45:41
would give you like a sign or a sticker or something that you put on your house
45:44
and you did not get your fire put out if you didn't have one if you didn't have it you're screwed wow this is like way
45:49
back and only in certain areas or whatever yeah like that was actually like a thing that's pretty cool speaking
45:54
of things that were a thing in the past texting while
45:58
walking could be banned in New Jersey
46:01
under new rules being proposed by US officials the number of people dying
46:07
while walking according to this independent.co.uk article is swiftly
46:12
increasing and thousands of people are being injured while walking with their
46:17
phone what that is hilarious i mean it's not
46:21
funny when people get hurt but it's hilarious that it is a problem for
46:26
people to walk while data is like a little weird like
46:31
okay 11% of all fatalities in 2005 involved pedestrians 15% of all
46:35
fatalities in 2014 involved pedestrians could that not be because of other
46:40
things no
46:43
is is that only tied to this you know
46:47
it'd be really interesting to see if you could find articles from the 80s
46:51
proposing like banning no newspapers while walking no I was thinking more
46:57
along the lines of Walkman's like earphones since that was sort of a thing
47:00
that happened in the 80s yeah that's probably a thing but newspapers is good
47:04
too because you know what if you can think of something someone somewhere has
47:08
probably tried to propose a law to ban it so anyway Mr
47:16
that law already existed and makes perfect sense it does actually yeah they
47:20
definitely have 100% of a right to do that um so the there's a bill pending in
47:25
Hawaii that will find someone $250 if he
47:28
or she crosses the street with an electronic device no states have enacted
47:33
a law specifically targeting distracted cyclists or pedestrians uh but violators
47:37
in New Jersey would apparently face fines of up to $50 US 15 days of
47:42
imprisonment which is ridiculous or both
47:45
which is the same penalty as jaywalking
47:48
wow interesting i those guys that like ride
47:53
the bikes and have the things behind it that like can tell you they'll get way
47:56
more business now rick Shaws sure oh no
48:00
they run like a rickshaw bike
48:05
have you not seen this uh like just cyclists with like carriages behind them
48:09
yeah yeah it would be like having a horse except a bike right yeah yeah okay
48:12
I get it i feel like they get way more work because there's there's actually
48:16
points in time where like I have to walk for a little while and like I really
48:19
need to do something on my phone and I don't have time to not do one of
48:24
them like anytime at CES oh my god this
48:27
thing's kind of cool this is the Vololo Copter or as I'm going to call it from
48:33
now on the YOLO copter because it has I
48:38
don't 13 rotors or something i don't know how many it has it's not a 18
48:44
propeller spinning rotors 18 propeller
48:47
spinning rotors it holds a person and a
48:50
joystick and not a whole Oh yeah and a massive battery and not a whole lot else
48:56
and it is the world's first certified multicopter that lifts off in I'm not
49:02
even going to try Germany marking a new
49:05
era for aerial transportation
49:09
it is electrically powered which is pretty cool it's apparently super easy
49:14
to fly with three redundant autopilots
49:18
that will basically hover as soon as the pilot lets go of the joystick and um can
49:24
reach a speed this is the V200 we're looking at by the way can reach a speed
49:28
of 15 mph with the team determined to
49:32
increase the speed to 60 mph on follow-up flights much like your DJI
49:38
Phantom copter computer on a stick uh
49:41
that you fly with a little you know couple of sticks in your chest mounted
49:46
neck hangy strappy thing multi
49:49
multi-rotor or drone um much like that
49:52
the Volocopter Sorry excuse me the
49:56
yolocopter is directed by increasing or
49:59
decreasing the speed of its propellers rather than by altering the pitch so uh
50:07
I actually don't know if pitch is technically the correct term so the aircraft this is pitch this is yaw
50:15
strafe um so but okay so but but basically yeah
50:21
so the so unlike a helicopter you don't
50:25
actually move the spinning rotors they they just the the speed at which they
50:29
are spinning changes um the propeller system is designed to fold up and fit on
50:33
a toable trailer for easy transport and they're working on certification to
50:37
produce the yolocopter in large quantities
50:43
and 60 miles an hour like with a bird's
50:46
as the crow flies yeah is really fast
50:49
yeah that would be pretty darn freaking
50:53
cool pitch yaw rotation what
50:57
no no this is yaw
51:01
yaw is the same as rotation
51:05
or is this roll is a different thing roll is a different thing cuz remember
51:10
pitch yaw and isn't this yaw this is No
51:14
I don't think so and then this is rotation i could be wrong that's
51:17
possible pitch yaw and raffle love it
51:20
that's the kind of copter I want to ride in all right canadian police according
51:25
wall and raffle according to this
51:29
uh according to this article posted by sgurly on the forum original article
51:34
here is from the verge have apparently had a master key to Blackberry's
51:38
encryption since 2010 and it was used to intercept and read
51:42
messages well okay then canada has
51:46
something called a spy palace
51:50
we can pretty much just like stop this whole topic there
51:54
spying in Canada is brutal
51:57
so a highlevel surveillance probe shows that Canada's federal policing agency
52:02
has had a global encryption key for BlackBerry since 2010 according to
52:05
documents by the RCMP filed in court law enforcement decrypted roughly 1 million
52:10
pin-to-pin Blackberry messages in connection with the probe from 2010 to
52:15
2012 it doesn't show where this key came from and government lawyers spent two
52:20
years fighting in a Montreal courtroom to keep the information out of the
52:23
public record neither the RCMP nor Blackberry confirmed if this is true but
52:29
Crown prosecutors confirmed the federal police had access to the key just in
52:33
case people were wondering about the Canadian spy palace I posted it in the
52:38
Twitch chat um there's new rumors about
52:41
the Nintendo NX uh this was posted by Master Disaster on the forum the
52:45
original article here is from Screen Rant and to be clear a lot of the rumors
52:50
lately about the NX have been uh have
52:53
been seeming to be coming from like some subreddit where people have been posting
52:58
complete nonsense but this round of rumors is
53:02
according to John
53:06
Castile more believable than some so
53:09
take it for what it is more believable than some rumors that John Castile says
53:14
are more believable than some this is a more believable torch than some of them
53:19
yeah than some than the actual digital representations
53:24
um so the NX will apparently feature an x86
53:30
architecture it will apparently back up data to Nintendo servers which is huge
53:33
because their current ones don't and if your Wii U dies you lose all of your
53:37
digital purposes uh purchases which is [ __ ]
53:42
isn't that terrible that's so bad oh my
53:46
gosh it's like it's like actually worse
53:49
than the Super Nintendo which at least
53:53
stored your data on the game yeah yeah
53:56
you know like that should even be a feature like will feature it's like
54:00
we'll have fixed you know what surprises me that no one ever created you know
54:06
what it probably existed at some point but that no one ever
54:09
mainstreamized semi-rewritable discs
54:14
so if you could have a game that had a mostly readonly media layer on the
54:19
outside but had just a very very small
54:23
rewritable layer on the inside discs don't do super great with mass rewrites
54:27
though um there are discs that could handle a lot and it wouldn't be the kind
54:32
of thing that you would save every time you hit a save point it would be the
54:35
kind of thing that you save every time you eject
54:38
that could actually make a ton of sense don't you think i think so i think that
54:42
would be that would be a really cool way to handle i mean obviously that's like that's like a PS2 era like technology
54:48
proposal but still yeah i just think
54:52
that would have been kind of a neat way to do I'm sure Twitch chat is full of people telling me all the reasons it
54:56
couldn't happen won't work because XYZ yeah or someone tried it and you know
54:59
what this is my show so um it'll
55:03
apparently have support for an additional screen which is going to lead
55:07
to um companies like say for example
55:10
Rocket Fish producing the most fabulous
55:13
TV wall mounts the world has ever seen i'm sure if the configuration is
55:17
expected to be anything like the DS's dual
55:20
screen i mean can you imagine two TVs on your wall it's like
55:26
why do you have two TVs on your wall oh yeah i got to play games on my NX so you
55:30
know I got my mini mat the bottom one's
55:33
touchscreen all you have to like get up and run over to it be like got my 52
55:38
inch uh got my 52 inch uh touchscreen uh
55:41
you know stereoscopic stereoscopic mini map you know no big deal whatever be
55:47
awesome um can handle ports of current
55:50
gen games i should certainly hope so um
55:53
well it's x86 they are being such jerks
55:57
about retro games yeah they are um and
56:00
everyone is Blizzard um that's a
56:03
completely different issue i don't care i'm talking about how the latest 3DS how
56:08
the latest 3DS is getting I I can't
56:11
remember i It's either Game Boy Advance or Super Nintendo games when like you
56:16
could literally with an emulator on like
56:20
the vanilla DS emulate SNES games and
56:23
they're claiming the previous generation 3DS wasn't powerful enough it's like you
56:27
know what lose the attitude Nintendo
56:32
it almost makes me feel not bad about emulating their games which I've never
56:37
done of course of course you did of course I haven't never happened speaking
56:40
of which I am I'm kind of torn right now
56:44
i am not sure if I'm going to buy a CRT
56:48
anymore cuz I was playing games on um
56:52
the 65 in OLED TV and it was like Super
56:55
Mario World's unplayable just completely unplayable like the delay was ridiculous
56:59
i posted a video that I recorded at 240 FPS of like pressing a button and then
57:04
it's
57:07
like Mario jumps like come on like the
57:12
pixel response time is good but the processing delay on that TV is
57:16
horrendous um but but I was using a
57:22
computer monitor like a gaming grade computer monitor Predator monitor and
57:26
like it was fine like LCD is good enough as long as you've got one with low input
57:30
lag so as much as like and I had actually I had I I was diehard ZS and
57:35
EES for a long time just because I knew how to use it i was like "Yeah ZNES
57:39
works." Not that he was emulating games not that I not that I've ever emulated
57:42
you just wanted to emulate the console to be clear I do own a copy of Super
57:46
Mario World does that make it okay no technically no but I don't care it's
57:50
It's one of those things where like technically I cannot copy my selfpart
57:54
DVDs to my server and stream them to my
57:57
phone that's fine but I don't care i'm going to do that anyway um and you can
58:02
put me in jail if you really think that that makes a ton of sense but that is
58:07
like looks bad on you um to be fair it's
58:10
Nintendo and they probably don't care yeah they probably
58:13
don't it's like the the letter is literally in the mail right now
58:19
um so yeah I'm I'm kind of torn right now i might just I might just because
58:23
the other thing too is like I had kind of forgotten how small CRTs were mhm and
58:28
and if they're big how ridiculous they are yeah like there's a there's actually
58:32
a 40 incher for free on Craigslist a 40inch 4x3 apparently one of the best
58:37
ones out there um even though the larger
58:40
ones tended to have geometry issues around the corners i'm actually even if
58:43
whether I buy one or not with all the research I've done over the last little
58:46
bit I may do a video like "So you want to buy or you want to pick up a used CRT
58:51
for retro?" That one's that bad badass we should get it and replace mine it's
58:55
like 300 lb my brother right he could probably lift
59:01
it on his own yes and he has a truck that can move it
59:06
uh I can I can I can link you the post that would actually be sick i we will go
59:09
get it but the brother and I can get it so the ones that I was looking at were
59:12
closer to the like 32 in to 34 inch range but the thing to remember about
59:17
that is that a 32in CRT is basically
59:20
equivalent to like a 30 or excuse me yeah a 30 or 29 in LCD because of the
59:25
way they were measured they were actually measured differently you could
59:28
factor out about two inches of size on a CRT at least for computer monitors wow
59:34
wow I want to see this video no don't tell me make the video yeah um so so
59:38
that's that that was the general rule for PC monitors it may not be true for
59:42
TVs so you know please avoid correcting
59:46
me because I will do the research before I make the video um so anyway I'm Yeah
59:50
I'm kind of torn because like I want to make like a little gaming room in the one side oh oh this is a great upcoming
59:56
video um some people had asked me when I went and put all my computers in the
59:59
closet next to my um next to the room in
60:02
my house like what I was going to do for ventilation oh yeah that room got
60:06
upgraded this week so there's a video coming but there's one on the other side
60:10
so I had kind of wanted to drywall that in and like put like a bean bag chair
60:14
like wire up some electrical outlets because it sits right above the breaker box down in my garage and like make like
60:19
a cool little gaming nook um but you can use a gaming mod maybe
60:25
I'll just use an LCD yeah maybe I'll just throw a gaming monitor in there
60:28
because S right SNX9X coming back to you
60:31
know being a ZNS die hard but having issues with Windows 10 snx 9X is like
60:36
really good and there's a lot of really cool filters that you can put on that
60:39
make it look pretty good you can Yeah you can kind of do a lot yeah it's
60:43
actually like upsampling on old school games is a thing
60:47
whoa like certain like PlayStation one games have you seen that stuff i have
60:51
not i actually haven't played around with PlayStation one emulation since
60:55
epsxe and like bleam
60:59
were cool like does bleam even exist i
61:02
don't I don't do this stuff i have no idea what the words are that you're
61:06
saying do you know what ble is though for serious no okay bleam exclamation
61:11
mark uh commercial was a commercial
61:14
PlayStation emulator what what um for
61:19
probably no laws for IBM compatible PCs and Dreamcast in 1999
61:25
dreamcast um yeah it apparently ran on Dreamcast
61:31
what the [ __ ] it was released in three other versions called Blecast to play
61:35
popular PlayStation games Gran Turismo 2 Metal Gear Solid and Tekken 3 on the
61:40
Dreamcast what wait Legacy although
61:43
Sony's litigation against Bleam led the company to bankruptcy Sony did not
61:48
manage to win a decisive victory against Bleam and to have the product removed
61:52
from shelves after their demise which is a legal precedent for the commercial
61:56
viability of emulators what the hell very interesting huh as of 2005 two
62:03
members of the team were working for Sony
62:07
okay well anyway so 1999 to like 2001
62:12
like yeah I I was I was never in the emulator game i always had real copies
62:15
like even fairly recently I bought Fable 1 because a bunch of people said it was
62:20
great i bought Fable 1 for Xbox have you played Fable One original no I haven't
62:24
what yeah we were I think it was you and me talking about it wasn't it maybe cuz
62:28
Fable 1's awesome i think we were talking about it on the show so I went and picked it up okay fable one for Xbox
62:33
original or whatever we want to call it oh okay i don't know
62:37
um yeah Xbox Black Edition i got GTA 3
62:42
black 360s black Xbox ones crap i failed
62:46
yeah I got GTA 3 for like three bucks so I was like screw it whatever and then I
62:51
got uh Need for Speed Most Wanted Black Edition speaking of black edition nice
62:55
like the old like super sick Most Wanted with that blue and silver BMW at the
62:59
start it's great game and it was the whole thing was like $9 nice it's like
63:05
okay sure yeah yeah Fable is really good you'll enjoy it um I probably will back
63:10
to the Nintendo NX rumors which we will make our way through eventually in fact
63:13
we're almost at the end of the show here it's already after 6 um according to
63:17
Nintendo Life a number of Wii U ports are in development i mean can Nintendo
63:24
at least remake properties that are actually
63:30
old no ports ports ports ports not re I
63:35
see what you're saying but they're they're Wii U remasters apparently
63:38
remasters actually Wii U remasters wow so the new console
63:42
will apparently be is allegedly more powerful than the current PS4 uh which I
63:47
guess is good because you'll be able to play in full HD uh Wii U games or
63:52
something no because they already run at 1080p so I don't I don't actually know
63:57
it's good yeah it's not a bad thing so cool
64:01
um moving on the OP here was Convicted
64:04
Pillow Case and the original article is from The Verge logitech buys audio
64:08
device maker JBird for 50 million in cash um continuing their their trend of
64:16
buying up companies like Oh I don't know this is a good example Ultimate Ears to
64:20
uh to own more audio brands very
64:23
interesting yeah um apparently if they
64:27
hit some some growth projections and targets over the next couple of years
64:31
they can earn an additional 45 million
64:35
uh Logitech does not expect the acquisition to impact its fiscal year
64:38
2017 guidance wow good job I guess
64:43
Logitech yeah good for you you made a cool mouse yeah although I realize that
64:47
the market probably doesn't want this and you probably shouldn't do it but if
64:52
you guys made a G900 that instead of having a plug-in cable in the front and
64:57
instead of having like a properly placed really good battery in the back had
65:01
replaceable batteries like the G7 that was a pretty cool hot swap system there
65:06
that was so good yeah it was pretty cool i saw it again in the my mineral video
65:10
when I was doing research for the other video that I just shot and I saw the battery sitting there and I was like "Oh
65:14
that was sick." They also need to bring back the G9 V9X shell um like because
65:19
they sell for like a lot go on Amazon look up G9
65:23
whoa sometimes those are just broken listings but he brought up that there
65:26
was also a G9 on eBay for like 150 bucks or something yeah and there's like
65:30
multiple ones on Amazon for like huge amounts of money so developers are
65:35
adapting Oculus Rift exclusives to work on the HTC Vive which is great news for
65:40
people like me who plan to buy a Vive and do not plan to buy a Rift to be
65:44
clear I have bought a Vive but that belongs to Linus Media Group it's
65:49
complicated like you have bought a Rift uh Vive and a Vive and a Rift yeah yeah
65:54
but Linus Media Group bought those they actually don't belong to me like people
65:58
who don't run their own businesses might
66:01
not know this but like Lionus Media Group is its own legal entity and I am
66:06
my own legal entity and we are not the same thing and this is important for tax
66:10
purposes um so yeah in the past month the
66:15
consumer versions have been released i
66:19
think released is a strong word for what the Rift has done well hold up
66:24
219gaming.com said in the Twitch chat "Well I want to support you guys but I
66:28
can't seem to get an answer so thanks."
66:31
Anyways Twitch chat is not the right
66:35
place to try to contact us just for your information and for the information of
66:39
anyone else watching yeah don't go to Twitch chat yeah and a lot
66:44
of people try to tweet me during WAN Show don't do that bad idea i'm here you
66:50
can actually see that I'm not looking at my phone just Yeah uh so there's that i
66:56
didn't see any of the other stuff you said but I saw that i always see the
67:00
useless i know you know I it's like the worst thing ever when I'm like when I
67:04
had some time like I'm sitting on the can right and I'm scrolling through like
67:07
Twitter mentions and someone's like "Hey can I ask you a question?" Yeah it's
67:11
like and I'm like "If you had asked the question you would have been able to ask
67:15
me a question." Now the odds of me seeing your because the odds of me seeing the follow-up very slim
67:20
because when your feed gets like so full and the problem is that the Twitter app
67:24
it doesn't allow you to filter so mine's just full of whoever liked this video
67:29
retweeted did whatever no not that liked
67:32
videos even if I filter down to just mentions it's just full of people liking
67:36
the videos which is not bad thank you for liking the videos i appreciate that
67:41
i get it but it makes it really really difficult to use anyway so there's a
67:45
program called LibraVR/re that allows Rift exclusive
67:49
like Ly's Tale and Oculus Dream Deck to play on the Vive the code was posted to
67:53
Reddit by Reddit by user CrossVR and it
67:56
could be used to port other titles
68:02
boom that's huge because honestly right
68:05
now the main thing Rift kind of had going for it was its games library mhm
68:10
because the experience on Vive currently is just better the touch controllers are
68:15
extremely interesting and currently non-existent at least for consumers so
68:22
pictures leaked of NVIDIA's Pascal based GP 104 and 106 GPUs this was originally
68:28
posted on the forum by Mr
68:32
troll and uh basically yeah
68:36
so it looks like NVIDIA has hardware if
68:41
this rumor is to be believed um for their next generation probably gaming
68:46
GPUs because while big Pascal so GP 100
68:50
has only surfaced as the Tesla P100
68:54
um smaller Pascal is likely to emerge as
68:58
according to the rumor a GTX 1080 and
69:02
1070 using the GP 104 GPU do with
69:05
something like a 1060 likely to use the 106 if they stick with the naming
69:09
conventions that they have been using for the last couple of generations and
69:12
this is something that kind of drives me crazy NVIDIA what's with all the cloak
69:16
and dagger nonsense if you're going to be cloak and dagger why don't you use
69:19
code names that like anyone who's been
69:23
following you for more than you know 18 months won't understand
69:28
like if you're actually gonna keep like they won't tell me anything because
69:32
obviously they have Pascal hardware if they have the Tesla so yo hey what's
69:37
going on they won't tell me anything but they use code names that I understand as
69:42
soon as a rumor leaks somewhere which it always does i I don't know just make up
69:47
your mind that's all um I actually don't understand how like I will be in TeamSp
69:54
speak with someone who's a viewer or like a friend on the forum or something
69:57
like that and they will tell me things
70:00
about hardware tech because of rumors that end up being completely accurate
70:05
that I haven't heard of yet even though I'm in communication with those
70:08
companies and they're actively telling me that there's nothing going on and I'm
70:12
like what how do you guys suck this much
70:16
like Apple doesn't really leak things i know they just leaked their renaming of
70:20
Mac macOS and that's probably because no one cared like other important things
70:26
they just don't knowing Apple they probably treated it like it was
70:30
important to be fair yeah but someone probably couldn't fathom how we could
70:34
care and and accidentally yeah um so we've got some rumored specs the GTX
70:38
1080 is rumored to have 8 billion transistors so about equivalent to the
70:42
980 Ti 2560 CUDA course 8 gigs of GDDDR5
70:45
memory on a probably 256-bit bus that's a question mark but that's been a
70:50
pattern for the last little while um question mark single 8 pin power
70:54
connector question mark two DisplayPort that would be a shame uh with a question
70:58
mark no they're apparently pretty confident about the June 2016
71:03
uh release time that would make sense right near Computex yep so much like
71:09
last time around where we got a 980 that was pretty similar to the 780 Ti which
71:15
was based on big uh crap I'm losing
71:19
track of my uh losing track of my code names big Kepler um so about about
71:25
equivalent in terms of performance so it looks like we're going to see a mid-tier
71:28
chip that's probably about similar to
71:32
performance to the last gen big chip um
71:35
and then we will actually have to wait another product refresh to get big um
71:41
big Pascal on the consumer side in the form of probably a Titan Booya edition
71:46
or whatever the case may be so I guess that's
71:52
pretty much it for important things
71:56
purple Dio posted on the forum that the first 10 core smartphone has arrived
72:02
from MSU oh my god
72:06
and thank you for watching the W show have you ever had a performance problem
72:10
with your phone in terms of compute in the last two years um that's a good
72:15
question and not one that more cores would
72:21
solve roll the outro
72:24
see you again next week same bat time
72:28
same bat channel everyone's like Titan X no they
72:33
will not do that although knowing NVIDIA they did introduce MF anti-aliasing
72:38
so I mean they apparently just don't
72:43
give any cares so there's that let's be fair mass
72:48
drop K7XX drop go check it out squarespace you should fresh books we
72:54
should do an entire WAN Show books that are fresh through like a text to speech
72:58
thing no we shouldn't that's a terrible idea i feel like April Fools that was
73:03
like literally two weeks ago in the future i said we should do like not now
73:12
it's like a Twitch thing it's a bad idea because donators donators like on some
73:17
Twitch channels donators that donate enough money get their message sent text
73:22
to speech to everyone watching the stream because apparently those massive
73:26
disruptions are just totally okay if enough people watch you it reminds me of
73:32
uh like Billy Billy that Chinese site that we upload our videos to have you
73:36
ever watched our videos on there uh I did when we were deciding if it was a
73:40
good idea or not comments stream across the video
73:45
