boom we are live baby
0:06
oh man it has been
0:10
a pret i think calling it a rough week would be
0:14
a gross understatement like disgusting understatement it has
0:19
been so tiring like shot
0:23
three ltts shot and reviewed three faps
0:30
and also moved into a new office space
0:35
went to the strata meeting for our building complex here
0:40
dealt with the inspector failing us oh
0:43
also by the way i found out we are going to have to clear the path to at least
0:48
one of the rear doors that are now covered behind sets
0:52
uh do i need to go on like can i just
0:55
you know go off for a bit here about how this week went because i want to know more
1:00
about the doors we have had all hands on deck basically reorganizing this entire
1:06
place for three days and with all the stuff
1:10
that people had to do and just with all the stuff that needed to be done
1:15
it has been a nightmare like if you guys have seen any behind the scenes footage
1:19
we're gonna have a whole organization vlog series coming because that's the
1:24
only way that we can get around to cleaning stuff up is by vlogging about
1:28
it but like that unit on the other side of this wall
1:33
that i'm pointing at right there that wall the brown wall
1:37
the unit on the other side there total disaster if you were ever wondering what
1:42
happens when you tell a dozen people um hey there's an empty unit so like if
1:48
there's any overflow it goes in there if you're ever wondering what that looks
1:52
like after six months boy do i ever have
1:55
the answer for you a little something like that by the way
1:59
Colton that um that crate that you just saw that is leftover slash x when show
2:05
stuff and then that antec lan boy is the
2:08
recreation of Linus's first pc so that could be like a charity auction thing
2:13
for ltx next year or something i don't know what else we would do with it
2:16
so like oh man and like the kind of crap
2:21
that we're cleaning up like we're talking the rotted out husks of
2:26
old crts and like i thought you meant literally rotting i was like oh no no
2:31
but like dangerous yeah and like furniture that we haven't used in months
2:37
like the uh the the couch that used to be on the LTT set that just went to unit
2:42
101. oh this was a good one this was a really good one so you know those old
2:46
shelves we had back at the langley place in the background yes okay the that on
2:51
that was like the old a-roll when we were shooting in the dining room yeah
2:54
the like wood colored ones yeah the wood colored ones okay so all the shelves for them were in a
2:59
scrap wood bin and then those with just the mid shelves
3:05
had just like a plank across them and were being used as like a warehouse rack
3:11
and i'm kind of sitting here going you know we actually have
3:16
scattered around the two warehouses many many pieces of warehouse racks that
3:22
could have been assembled to make a warehouse rack but like to be clear i
3:25
understand why people are doing these things a lot of the time because they
3:29
don't have time to solve the problem properly and we're like constantly
3:34
working at a frantic pace around here like i get it
3:38
that just doesn't make it not frustrating
3:42
and yeah so lots of people moved locations
3:46
brandon and max are in the camera den now uh luke has his own office how's
3:50
your office baby it's co i stole two of the bean bag chairs yes all that so i
3:53
will have the comfiest meetings ever with my employees that aren't we
3:57
will have the comfiest meetings my friends call me they were like dude you
4:01
have the comfiest meetings uh yeah i know it's it's it's weird it's
4:05
very weird because i've been with john for like two years
4:08
actually slightly more than that because in the previous office i was also with john so you upgraded your workspace
4:13
because you have an office with a door but you downgraded your neighbor
4:17
yeah and i because i don't have one anymore and i'm massive
4:22
right now but he's not like he has to sit next to nick
4:25
but there's like a big wall and stuff like john and i had a communal space and
4:29
now like uh i got brandon's old desk yeah so my actual usable desk space
4:34
probably went down yeah actually like 30 something percent yeah
4:38
like it's actually a very i used to have all three of my monitors and quite a bit
4:42
of usable space now i have all three of my monitors and that's where the desk
4:45
ends maybe i was sending a message of what about all the [ __ ] that you
4:50
don't need to keep on your desk anymore i'm probably gonna get another desk
4:55
mostly because uh i want more monitors though dang it
4:59
i'm going to put monitors there i'm probably going to go like i was going to
5:03
win that one off craigslist for like 25 bucks each because i just need junko
5:07
crappy monitors to do like server monitoring right i don't need nice ones
5:11
you know what we could probably figure out is like we have uh an ifinity stand
5:15
that i don't think anyone knows what to do with like maybe we could anyway that would
5:19
you know what right before you do furniture for your office um you're
5:24
gonna want to oh wow that looks really different but
5:27
it doesn't anyway we'll solve that later we oh yeah we moved the lan show yeah
5:31
sort of yeah so it's like 10 feet back
5:34
from where it was where the camera is now is essentially where the desk was
5:37
more or less before frankly i don't think it makes a huge
5:41
difference to the quality of the show i mean this show wasn't great quality
5:44
anyway and i think it's gonna be a lot easier for people to move around because
5:48
now it's not like right in the middle of a high traffic area so this is
5:51
interesting you didn't know this oh sorry before no before you do furniture
5:55
stuff in there um check with Yvonne because like there will probably be like
5:58
a plan already okay and like we might be able to get you like some shelving i'm
6:02
not even super worried about it yeah like we'll deal with it but um the
6:06
hexagon like a little notepad of the things that i like want the hexagon wall
6:11
from the spaceship
6:15
so the plan is to just lift that up you know the RGB wall yes okay i think
6:19
that's just going to go like right here oh that's cool yeah yeah because the
6:22
spaceship is dumb and needs to go away getting rid of that yeah we're getting
6:25
rid of the spaceship and we're just turning that whole area into like a condo
6:29
but that's actually yeah coming back to the final inspection
6:33
so the theory was that the inspector
6:36
would come in and look only at the new tenant improvement and that was actually
6:42
why we built the new tenant improvement like
6:46
a half a centimeter away from the old one so that it would actually be a
6:50
completely separate structure so the inspector will not come look at
6:55
our old tenant improvement because if they did that then any code changes in
7:00
the last two and a half years would have to be retrofitted to that one you don't
7:04
want that that's a big problem yeah okay
7:07
so it turns out they also want to look at the warehouse space because that's
7:12
under the new tenant improvement so that needs three exits to the outside
7:17
and i thought that those two front doors would still count but technically one of
7:23
those front doors which is now enclosed and is a dedicated exit for the new
7:26
improvement because it needs dedicated exits because it's not actually technically part of the old improvement
7:31
that doesn't count for the warehouse even though
7:35
assuming that the employees of Linus media group are not a bunch of raving
7:39
idiots um i'm sure people would be able to figure out to open one more door to
7:43
get to the outside and there are already two exits but we
7:47
need three so those ones are technically
7:51
sort of obstructed right now well that one definitely is well i'm the
7:56
one behind where the the long-term dust project that one definitely is too so
8:01
there's one here one there we only have two
8:05
so the good news is that we were planning to
8:09
rearrange some stuff anyway that way um
8:13
so workshop is maybe going there but then maybe also staying here because
8:17
like it's pretty i like this set it's the one that i still really like yeah um
8:21
but the green screen is going to shrink and then the condos are going to move
8:26
this way but then what we could do is we could maybe come get our final inspection
8:31
while that stuff's kind of torn down and in
8:35
flux and then maybe the inspector could
8:39
gtf out of here and then if there ever was a fire there
8:43
would actually be two full exits for the maximum like five people that are ever
8:48
in the warehouse no there would definitely be three three full exits people for the five x's
8:55
five exits yeah many all the exits
9:00
we have the best exits make america pay for the exit
9:05
um those jokes like just never get old i
9:09
know right it's like we haven't introduced the show yet oh
9:14
right yeah did anything else crazy happen this week we just finished the inspector part
9:18
anything else crazy oh man i don't know all the things like it was
9:22
like archaeology town around here man like honestly organization vlog could be
9:27
as much fun as moving vlog because even
9:30
though we didn't no i don't i don't know yeah yeah
9:34
someone broke into my van and so now we're talking about it yeah
9:39
no i'm not gonna go not to like specific bits yeah um
9:42
but like i was a really loud train honestly we've actually here wrap your
9:47
brain around this okay i'm about to blow your mind all right we've been in here
9:52
longer than we were in the langley house no i know i had that realization i
9:56
walked out of my office today to come down to here and was like by office and
10:01
then just like brainwave hit me and i fell over into a beanbag chair cause i
10:04
was like holy crap because i was like it's like that felt more impactful than
10:10
leaving the old office and i was like i wonder why and i was like oh wow you've
10:14
been in there forever yeah yeah isn't that crazy it's my two year
10:19
anniversary on monday it's you're you're watching two years yeah buddy is that
10:23
past the point where i can just fire you for no cause and with no notice
10:27
i mean you are the owner of the company is it max
10:35
all right well then i guess you're still on the team Colton
10:39
yeah whoa Colton's still on the team let's do some ads
10:44
i'll get to the ads later later um so
10:47
yeah there's actually like more archaeology to do here yeah than there
10:51
was there and you remember how freaking crazy yeah that place was
10:56
um so yeah it's gonna be a lot of fun and
10:59
there's a lot of personalities involved okay
11:02
things got snippy a little bit because like i know you weren't here this is why
11:05
you saw some of the team chat though things have gotten a little snippy you
11:10
know there have been some there have been some messages to the group chat
11:13
about grading people's ability to park
11:16
their cars yeah far enough back from the sidewalk yeah um you know like there's
11:22
been way too sassy that was probably that's probably over
11:26
the line sassy and uh
11:29
so yeah stuff's uh stuff's gotten real this week
11:35
meanwhile i'm like sitting on a train yeah meanwhile you're on a train i can't
11:39
really tell about what my event was retrieving our broken company van yeah
11:45
which was like so i was expecting this train trip to be
11:49
horrible i only got two hours of sleep beforehand sucked but like it's a train
11:53
trip so whatever yeah um got held over
11:56
at the border they didn't want to let me down because they couldn't understand what i
12:00
was going to do don't let me don't let me well they were like why are you going
12:03
i need you i need you i need you right now
12:07
don't let me don't i can't remember okay so
12:10
they're like they're wondering why i was going so far to pick up the vehicle and
12:13
then like stopping off somewhere else it's a fair question it wasn't my
12:16
vehicle yeah it's a fair question and then he kept on getting confused about who i worked for
12:21
okay which was really difficult also a fair question well not really because he
12:25
would be like who do you work for and be like lioness media group be like who owns a vehicle and Linus media group
12:30
okay so is it your vehicle i was like no it's the companies what companies
12:36
Linus media group okay so you did make it pretty easy on him
12:41
yeah like it wasn't it wasn't super complicated but then yeah we got pulled
12:45
in and it wasn't it just took an annoying amount of time when like
12:48
there's a train that's going to leave right but i left intentionally like way
12:52
early so i ended up being totally fine which is part of the reason why i got
12:56
such a small amount of sleep but whatever and then the wi-fi on the train
12:59
was legendary no streaming of any kind allowed
13:03
yeah not even not even music okay and any files above 10 megs they
13:07
just killed really yeah you can you know you can vpn
13:12
it usually yeah some of the some of the others on the ferry and stuff like i'm
13:16
not new to that but it's just like ah all right come on come on and then so i
13:20
get down there get the vehicle it's fine check out rod's shop it's amazing yep
13:24
holy cow his cnc is incredible it's so it's expensive but it's badass
13:30
um broad's pretty dope and then i went up to microsoft and things happened
13:35
and then you guys will hear about that later
13:38
yeah so my my week was uh definitely more eventful than yours
13:43
i mean mine was pretty eventful yeah maybe you know but we wouldn't know that
13:47
no right get owned right
13:51
um all right so i guess we should get
13:54
into the news for the week we haven't even rolled the intro well okay without
13:58
looking without looking at the doc okay uh uh vega Threadripper uh core i9
14:05
uh maybe NVIDIA did something
14:09
yeah cool sounds good all right forget it screw it
14:17
all the first topics are i9 Threadripper and vega
14:21
sick
14:25
sick brah i'm trying to see if NVIDIA did something but i don't think so
14:31
maybe it just wasn't newsworthy because like it didn't make it into the circle
14:36
jerk right yeah am i allowed to say circle jerk while
14:39
i'm flashing our sponsor logos on the screen
14:43
let's just hope they don't look at that part all right
14:47
and yeah it must be the wind show that's
14:51
weird i resized it now it looks so different to me
14:56
it kind of does yeah we could probably move it a little closer even try and take up even less space out there yeah
15:01
all right so why don't we move into our first tech topic of the week so the core
15:07
i9 CPU lineup specs have been finalized
15:12
this is according to pc pern it was posted by the benjamins
15:16
over on the forum now there was a lot of speculation
15:20
that the reason that Intel wasn't finalizing um
15:25
some aspects of their of the rest of the core i9 lineup was
15:30
because they had no idea if they were gonna be able to make these bloody
15:34
things based on how much power they were gonna
15:37
consume and how much heat they were gonna output which okay is kind of a
15:41
weird trend can i just say we have these processors being a huge
15:45
amount of power huge amount of heat vega huge amount of power huge amount of heat
15:48
where for the last longest time it's just be like those things don't matter
15:51
because they're just constantly going down well that's i guess what uh what
15:55
competition does is it forces you to push the envelope a little bit yeah
15:58
which is cool um so here we go so sky lake x
16:03
goes up to 18 cores as we already knew
16:06
but this is some interesting stuff it will turbo up to 4.4 gigahertz at turbo
16:12
boost max speeds and it'll turbo boost
16:15
at turbo boost 2.0 speeds of up to 4.2 gigahertz
16:19
so that's uh that's pretty sick i guess it'll cost two grand which we already
16:23
knew and it'll have 18 cores 36 threads
16:26
as we already knew so the pricing looks like from the 7900x which is kind of the
16:32
flagship right now at a thousand bucks you're going to pay 200 200 300 then
16:36
another 300 to get 12 14 16 and 18 cores
16:41
respectively and they pretty much are all going to turbo the same except the
16:45
7900x and the 7820
16:48
which are gonna hit 4.5 gigahertz so
16:51
those are your single thread kings if you need a high core count processor
16:56
because otherwise you're just getting a 7700k because you're not stupid enough
17:00
to spend money on an lga 2066 motherboard so you can put a 7740 on it
17:07
how that stacks up with threadripper is that basically multi-core at the same
17:12
core counts performance is gonna look fairly similar remember skylake is a
17:18
generation behind kaby lake on the consumer side so that is one fewer
17:23
generational improvement that AMD has to fight with on this platform
17:27
um so at similar core counts they're going to perform pretty similarly except maybe
17:32
a little less for AMD because their max turbo is 4 gigahertz
17:36
but what AMD brings to the table is higher base clocks so in those highly
17:42
threaded workloads AMD is going to look pretty good and they bring lower pricing
17:47
to the table so uh your 16 core is going to cost a thousand bucks so AMD's going
17:52
head-to-head against Intel's 10 core and their 12 core gets to go up against
17:57
somewhere between an 8 core and a 10 core but that 8 core is actually
18:03
kind of kneecapped with only 28 PCIe lanes versus redrippers full 64.
18:09
and then the 1900x is that kind of weirdo skew where it's only got eight
18:14
core 16 threads just like
18:18
the consumer top end ryzen 7
18:22
but it's got 64 pci elaines for being
18:26
able to put like lots of gpus or other devices on it and nick needs something
18:30
what can i do for you you need me like water like the other
18:36
words i'm gonna show you guys something while Linus is gone that i just think is
18:41
absolutely wonderful is this i opened it on the wrong
18:46
computer it's okay i'll figure this out perpetual windshield hock
18:52
so this happened on twitter you guys might have seen it it was pretty popular
18:56
on the reddits today but NVIDIA tweeted out welcome back AMD threadripper and a
19:02
GeForce 1080 ti make a compelling pair it's interesting because you have to
19:06
remember that they're technically separate business groups the graphics cards and the cpus on AMD's side so
19:12
NVIDIA is like totally okay with doing stuff like this
19:16
whoo the fight is coming
19:20
me one second i think with that we're gonna move on
19:24
wow
19:29
oh what okay hold up how do we turn this back on
19:34
does it automatically you can talk normally yeah it just automatically turns back on
19:38
okay so unfortunately a light that is like right here was unplugged and it
19:44
takes like a long time for it to heat up which does that make sense because it
19:48
was already we'll figure hot out we'll figure it out
19:54
because i'm plugging it vacuum and i plugged the wrong thing you're going to vacuum here
19:59
right now no no i'm plugging oh unplugging that
20:03
okay anyway sorry moving on
20:06
huh enter max is gonna have the first out of the gate aio for Threadripper
20:10
i'm gonna drop this into the chat and then try to get it up on screen real
20:13
quick
20:17
i don't see it warming up so i'm really not sure about that
20:21
yeah that might be a good idea what's up what's up what's up uh we're gonna talk
20:25
about threadripper's first water block and i showed off yeah uh Colton
20:29
accidentally unplugged that i showed this off did he accidentally copyright
20:32
strike our own channel while he's at it
20:35
yeah you heard me Colton
20:39
uh i showed this off real quick oh cool
20:43
what yeah that so that happened on twitter no
20:47
yeah you know with how much bad blood there is between those two companies
20:52
like that almost comes across as like
20:56
throwing shade man yeah
21:01
like oh man that is like
21:05
honestly like the way okay so first of all
21:10
oh so AMD did
21:14
segment the company so they switched over
21:17
yeah i said that when you're gone AMD and radio technologies group so like
21:21
technically NVIDIA is just talking to the CPU side yeah and technically
21:25
a lot of the bad blood really is
21:29
between NVIDIA and ati yeah that's how far back it goes but
21:33
like the engineering teams like the engineering team at AMD
21:38
contains ati people still like for sure
21:41
yeah like there's a lot of lifers that are still around there
21:44
um hey brandon is it like coming back i
21:47
think so so like
21:52
here here here no it's fine it's fine don't worry about it i don't see it warming up i got a solution here look
21:58
it's not plugged it's not what oh nice yeah yeah yeah we use the flashlight
22:02
flashlight on the phone baby there we go no problem okay we got this
22:07
we got this um so what's what's your vibe what's your
22:12
vibe genuine genuineness welcome back to the
22:15
enthusiast party or uh
22:18
or or are they throwing shade like like ha ha you weren't you weren't around for
22:22
five years i would give them uh benefit of the doubt here you would give NVIDIA
22:26
the benefit of the doubt when it comes to crapping on AMD
22:31
okay but it is crapping on them the welcome back
22:35
the welcome back part is crapping on them but they are legitimately saying
22:39
like we think our gpus will work well with your cpus which they will yeah
22:43
that's a good point and they are legitimately saying that so i think
22:46
they're like like to the guy who like goes on
22:52
vacation for a year and then scores his first touchdown after like a really
22:56
really really long time and you're like welcome back you did a
22:59
good job like it's a little sassy but at the same time you're like okay good job
23:07
or it's just broken now yeah it's possible that we like hey
23:12
the lights on okay oh lordy
23:16
okay uh what else we got in the news this year
23:22
wow world's worst throw sorry
23:26
this is interesting so this was posted by knickknack on the forum more
23:30
threadripper news the original isn't on it's warming up now you guys will it
23:33
yeah it's coming right it's coming it's coming uh the original article is from
23:37
tom's hardware okay so there was a lot of controversy
23:41
over Intel's um i don't even remember the stupid
23:45
features called anymore but their bootable raid that bypasses the pci express
23:51
controller and the chipset and goes straight off this ah something something
23:55
rock dang it v rock
23:58
uh so v rock uh Intel's software raid that's running straight
24:04
off the CPU that's bootable there's a lot of controversy over Intel's
24:07
intention to allow users to upgrade to it with like a
24:12
hardware like enabling key that they have to plug into
24:17
their motherboard although so i'll give them this though
24:20
they were a step ahead of AMD who is straight up not able to support
24:25
bootable NVMe raid at all right now
24:31
so there you go how many people do you think this excludes
24:37
okay two answers answer number one
24:42
very few yeah answer number two within the community of users that are
24:47
going to buy they're buying a thousand dollar processors
24:50
400 motherboards if i'm spending this kind of money on a
24:54
motherboard i better have cashola to just drop on NVMe rate but
25:00
even then buying a one terabyte NVMe drive is just your bootable drive and
25:05
then doing other stuff with other things like hard drives and whatnot for like
25:08
huge amounts of storage beyond that seems pretty reasonable i think yeah
25:13
even my crazy stupid overbuilt computer
25:16
just has one NVMe drive and
25:19
and it's lightning fast and i can't tell the difference between the stuff that's
25:23
on the seda rate yeah
25:26
because it's pretty fast having like three really quick ssds in raid zero so
25:31
there aren't a ton of of uh consumer applications for NVMe
25:38
raid boot drives however drives that's that's the part
25:42
that i'm trying to make very clear here that i'm talking about because you can
25:45
always software rate NVMe drives yeah that's been i have a software rate of
25:49
NVMe drives that we're running our our editing server off of yeah so we're
25:52
specifically talking about boot drive yep um and honestly i have a hard time
25:58
telling the difference between an NVMe boot drive and even a good SATA
26:03
SSD boot drive like not even raid zero unless i'm hitting it pretty hard yeah
26:07
um however
26:11
threadripper is being targeted at the
26:14
workstation user as well as the enthusiast who's just like
26:19
herpadip i want the bestest i want to go
26:23
faster and just like buying more NVMe drives
26:26
even though they know they can't tell the difference and on the workstation
26:31
where you're working with some like huge data set or something
26:35
we're talking 16 cores crunching it
26:39
you could run into an i o bottleneck well how do you care about it being on
26:42
the boot drive
26:48
also they're enabling the feature in the future
26:54
so this is kind of a it was kind of a non-story this is i haven't even noticed
26:58
that part at launch okay
27:01
now it's just my house is mostly so like it barely matters and it only matters
27:05
for a limited period of time yes all right this is kind of okay this is
27:09
one of those things where like it's kind of like Intel having okay so
27:15
Intel had support for uh
27:18
NVMe raid within their um what's that stupid uh rst uh rapid storage
27:24
technology or uh srt no rst their rapid
27:27
storage technology like their driver like software raid doodad that lives in
27:31
the system tray there you go okay so they had support for NVMe raid going
27:35
back quite a quite a ways um but the problem for me when i bought that 48
27:41
NVMe server you feel old i didn't sorry i shouldn't say bot because super micro
27:45
sent it to me but i bought the drives that went in it going back quite a ways
27:48
i still remember making the video for like the first drive let alone right
27:52
anyways okay so when i got the 48 drive
27:55
server i ran into all these problems trying to
27:58
create a raid array because it turned out that it was capped at 12 devices
28:04
and i was like well this is a spectacularly first world
28:07
problem that affects very few people like
28:11
like me no one else had ever brought it up to supermicro i was like hey so
28:15
you've got this 48 drive enclosure like how do you run all the drives
28:19
together and they're like nobody's ever asked
28:23
i'm like what do you mean nobody's ever asked they're like well
28:26
don't take this the wrong way Linus but most of the people using a device
28:31
like this kind of know what they're doing
28:36
i mean they said it a lot nicer than that like way nicer than that
28:40
but it was pretty savage and i got all the way to like one of
28:44
their like a like class support texts
28:48
and the guys just like yeah like we're shipping this crap to
28:52
like you know tier one software companies like they've got their own proprietary
28:56
crap they're running on it like like they're like forking
29:00
Linux distros to like build their own yeah freaking thing and i'm like
29:06
so like get it you know you got a number for someone over there maybe they want
29:09
to hook me up for like oh brutal yeah so i ended up with
29:14
Windows storage spaces which is a huge great by the way
29:20
which is working great by the way working great what for me what's not
29:24
working great i i have i've talked to multiple people about it i tried to set
29:28
up my system with storage spaces oh yeah do you remember because the like i had
29:33
lots of problems with those two boards the first one wouldn't boot with certain
29:36
RAM configurations yeah yeah the second one had just no raid set up yeah it just
29:42
didn't exist on the board at all yeah so i was like uh
29:46
i'll try storage spaces and everyone was like it'll be fine it's been fine for
29:50
everything except for ubisoft games
29:54
oh really okay well that i didn't see coming steam games launched fine yeah
29:58
origin games i think i've had problems with like one
30:01
or two and they were like super retro ones all the new ones work fine
30:05
and then every single ubisoft game doesn't work at all you know you have a nas anyway if
30:10
i were you i would just be software five and then mirror it yeah it doesn't
30:14
matter yeah it's just it's just annoying like why
30:21
am am okay we could definitely blame ubisoft here
30:24
but at some degree it's probably i wouldn't be surprised if it's both sides
30:28
to a little like a little bit yep i don't know i think your nas also supports iscsi you
30:33
could set up an ice cream would be totally fine yeah that would probably that would probably do it
30:38
um i'd be loading games off hard drives
30:41
i don't want to put everything over there yeah right yeah
30:47
oh this is cool this was posted by the angry computer masher on the forum the
30:51
original article is from video cards apparently
30:55
red ripper water blocks are coming which is important because Threadripper is
30:59
also the heat ripper yeah um so it's available in a variety of
31:04
different colors there's red there's silver it's a variety of sorts and it's
31:08
by a company called biski byski it's a chinese there are so
31:13
many chinese case and like cooling manufacturers that i had never freaking
31:17
heard of when i went over to computex like
31:21
cognitively i'm aware that there is a billion people in china
31:24
and cognitively i'm aware that that's as
31:28
many people as there are in north america
31:32
and like i think most of europe combined
31:37
like cognitively i'm aware of these things
31:40
so it makes sense then that there would be
31:44
like for every ek and swift tech
31:47
and swift i i've never heard of this company before and i'm going to assume
31:51
that they're bigger than both of them it could be so for every ek and every
31:56
swift tech there's probably a brand that exists solely within china that's as big
32:01
or bigger it's like that's gotta be great for that
32:06
company because then you only deal with that country's
32:09
issues and you're shipping although it has some pretty special issues but right
32:14
we've learned that yeah like apparently there's a whole like
32:17
bribe economy in in the tax system yeah so when you're paying local taxes
32:22
there's like bribes that you have to pay along with the taxes and that can depend
32:27
on like who the person is and what their status is and it changes over time
32:30
almost impossible to automate yeah and like like it's pretty
32:34
it's pretty sketch actually but yeah carry on but but you'd probably get used
32:37
to it if you're there your whole life and you get used to it um and like
32:42
shipping stuff is probably relatively simple not going over tons of different
32:46
borders not dealing with all that although i think the last mile is legitimately by bicycle in china so
32:51
there's that not all oh not all of them
32:54
yeah i mean shipping to like stores and stuff yeah
33:00
but yeah carry on well it's impossible that it's all of
33:03
them no no okay yes not everything yes you would have yeah but because like big
33:07
apartment buildings yes yes yes i doubt you're shipping a threadripper to like
33:12
a hut you know what we should go on a field
33:16
trip to china at some point like i've been there now you've been there right
33:20
but i was there for like 48 hours tops
33:23
similar yeah like i was like in my hotel room float planning almost the entire
33:27
and like i was in a hotel that specifically had instructions for how to
33:32
bypass the great firewall of china so yeah my only exposure to it was like
33:38
on tv something came on and i was like
33:42
like i know what's behind that but like why are you even bothering like
33:45
huh i like i couldn't even figure out why they didn't want people to know
33:49
about that specific thing but i was like oh yeah look at that they really do
33:52
censor tv how about that um
33:56
but but it would be it would be interesting to just go see like chinese
33:59
land parties and like oh my god that would be super cool like
34:04
that would be pretty that would be pretty fun like isn't one of NVIDIA's
34:07
like big like certified we should try to meet center's there i think so and we
34:11
should try to meet with like a big chinese uh like computer hardware
34:16
reviewing group yeah that would be very interesting to
34:21
see what they do just be like you're like a studio what's up yeah yeah like
34:26
how do hardware reviews work in china because like honestly like what are your
34:29
big brands yeah like the truly global manufacturers the guys like Intel yeah
34:34
like they could put us in touch yeah for sure AMD would probably be easier
34:38
actually because they're less segmented from region to reach right because
34:41
they're a smaller company um you know because they haven't had a
34:45
great five years um but yeah like someone like AMD could
34:49
probably be like yeah like here's the guys who matter in china be like yeah
34:52
that would be super interesting i wonder if we'd be able to get a visa for that
34:56
it's media so it would be harder yeah but speaking of uh meetings or something
35:02
speaking of visas get out your wallet because it's sponsor time
35:08
come on that was pretty good that was all right mac weldon believes in smart
35:13
design premium fabric and simple shopping and you know what
35:17
it's one thing to say they believe in it but they actually like do care about it
35:22
and do do that because like you know i could say Linus media group believes in
35:27
high production values but when push comes to shove
35:31
you know we release a video every day so
35:34
organization vlogs we believe in relatively high production
35:39
yeah matt weldon will be the most comfortable underwear sock shirts
35:43
undershirts hoodies and sweatpants that you will ever wear that is their guarantee and
35:48
this is like the coolest thing about their lineup they have a line of silver
35:52
underwear and shirts that are naturally antimicrobial which means that they
35:57
don't stink the way that regular shirts do before you said that someone in the
36:01
chat said antimicrobial yes antimicrobial yes
36:06
look bad no mackweldon.com and you can get 20 off
36:11
with offer code tech tips over at mac weldon they will even send you your
36:17
first pair and you can keep it and they will still

36:25

37:30
um did i say it was 30 day free trial speaking of free trials you and i
37:36
got a huge variety of spectrum glasses
37:39
to try out and i am planning to wear mine for the rest of the show i don't
37:43
know about you okay i'm down i am totally down i've picked mine already i
37:47
actually checked out all of them oh really those are kids
37:50
oh really so you can try that and i think these are more for ladies
37:55
you know what you know what cat eyes i'll try them all right so they got a
37:58
bunch of different styles of shots i'll try the kids one this is artist
38:02
you're not going to fit the key i'm going to try it all right so this is the
38:05
artist style oh my god they're amazing you know what's funny
38:10
they even have like oh these are adorable
38:14
heck yeah these are awesome you know what's so
38:17
funny about like hipster people
38:21
hey they've got the uh they're double jointed so yeah when they drop them or
38:25
sit on them or whatever and even even the ends are all flexible and stuff okay
38:28
the funny thing about hipster like artist people is that these
38:33
were legitimately what my grandma was wearing in the late 90s
38:38
now that's a cool trendy thing for young people because that's how it works
38:43
apparently i'm liking these i'll wear these for the rest i actually i'm i'm down for i'm
38:48
down for the hipster i'm down for the hipster like uh because they got like
38:52
the the the yellow and black kind of alternating kind of pattern around them
38:56
it actually looks pretty good right right those look good on you too i think
39:01
they're slightly too round but when you're looking at the set like this
39:05
pattern looks really good on you cool yeah well i'm happy to be trendy anyway
39:09
the point is spectrum glasses are for folks who stare
39:12
at a monitor all day they filter the blue light but let through the yellow
39:16
and they are meant to make it more comfortable to be using a screen all day
39:21
some monitors do have a blue light mode but that's only really gotten popular
39:25
within the last few years so there are literally millions tens of millions of
39:30
monitors and laptops actually out there that do not have a mode like that and
39:35
while there are software solutions it is not the same type of filtering yeah
39:40
these do yeah they're stylish that's one of their talking points we'll let you
39:44
guys be the judge
39:47
so they're stylish they have low color distortion and
39:51
highest rated amount competitors on amazon so they're primarily focused on
39:55
the canadian and u.s markets but they're expanding to europe and they offer
39:58
international shipping so check them out over at spectrumglasses.com collection
40:02
slash products we really need a better vanity url and you can get 10 off using
40:06
offer code Linus
40:10
okay all right so let's see what else what else we got here or uh float we got
40:15
we got news oh yeah oh yeah cool what's up on Floatplane right now
40:19
um oh i never well you're giving that up i can talk about this i don't think we
40:25
need anything on screen for this necessarily uh discord is announcing
40:28
video chat and screen sharing although one big thing that's going to lack on
40:32
this launch is there won't be any audio pass-through for the screen sharing
40:36
although i don't necessarily know if i care all that much um
40:40
i'm sure it matters to a certain degree is that like something where they're running into like drm
40:45
sort of restrictions possibly or like they're passing the video through yeah but if
40:50
they can't pass the audio like that it's less likely it would make
40:55
the group movie watching experience a little less right likely i could maybe i
41:00
don't know i don't know does it though i'm just guessing so but
41:03
then skype maybe has a bigger legal team or something i don't know uh they are
41:06
saying now friends on discord can watch each other play their favorite games
41:10
while talking face to face that sounds weird i don't know if that's really
41:13
gonna be a thing uh but it might be a lot easier for streamers maybe you're
41:17
just getting old maybe that's possible um i could see it
41:22
being a much bigger thing for streamers discord already has streamer mode and
41:26
like ties into twitch where you can have all your subscribers in your twitch
41:30
channel and all this kind of stuff and if you can have voice and video calls
41:34
streamers could have like a streaming room and be in streaming mode right and all
41:38
kind of stuff and use that instead of like skype for playing doing streams
41:42
collaboratively right which makes a lot of sense
41:46
all right i've got a lot of good stuff on Floatplane this week actually we've
41:50
got the cheapest pc case on the market
41:53
oh man we found it we hot rodded the snot out of it it's actually awesome it
41:59
looks really cool it's actually sick alex did a great job
42:04
um i love how now that we have like alex and these other guys yeah it's like oh
42:08
this thing sucks we'll like tear the trash out of it and like make fun of it
42:12
and then make it awesome because we're just gonna mod the hell that's right baby uh 4k gaming at 120 hertz on a diy
42:19
monitor what yeah baby
42:23
wait did you make that well it's it's a kit okay that's cool unboxing the real razer
42:29
toaster nice is NVIDIA ruining your performance
42:35
by sandbagging their drivers oh that's a
42:38
triggery video i know i know but it had to be done of course it had to be done
42:44
um we've got a couple of other things we've got a lot of behind the scenes
42:47
vlogs and stuff like that we've got a couple tech quickies
42:51
um the crappiest decile i set up of all time we've had a lot of simultaneous
42:55
releases lately so it's pushed out um some pretty old videos that have been
42:59
taking a while to make their way to the platform but we've got some but like kind of in place of that there has been
43:04
a lot of sounds on uh there has been a lot of
43:07
like the new moving stuff i've actually got one more vlog and then
43:11
i'm going to start doing some meet the team pieces because people have asked for like kind of proper intros to some
43:16
of the new people you know what's interesting talking about stuff on youtube now that did
43:21
really well on Floatplane as well and if you're on Floatplane you would have seen it earlier is the the pippin video yeah
43:28
it did really well people love that still going dude it's beating the thread
43:32
ripper 1.1 million views on uh
43:35
maybe did it help that we had a sealed some people were pretty salty that we
43:39
opened that thing hey really yeah they were like
43:43
that was vintage and and i see their point like it was not
43:48
sealed it's not like you can make a new not sealed one i don't really
43:52
agree with that but we didn't damage it i collect old games and stuff but in my
43:56
opinion they're there to be played yeah see that's a philosophical thing
44:00
though that a lot of collectors like okay so this is this is i hear like
44:05
i i know that there is a lot of people that view it this way i just don't
44:08
personally so it's a stupid tangent um my one of my wife's friend's daughter is
44:13
turning one okay and so
44:18
Yvonne is getting for her daughter something that's really for her mom
44:22
because like what does a one-year-old do with a toy no eat it um
44:26
and she started collecting polly pockets do you remember polly pocket and mighty
44:30
max oh you're younger than me i know i know like people that i knew were you
44:35
wrong people that i knew were into it i
44:38
wasn't i don't know but like kids my age were into that stuff okay fine
44:43
so anyway she's just just for like for laws she's started collecting polly
44:47
pockets and she has a little like thing for them and stuff and i was looking
44:51
into it and polly pockets and mighty max for that
44:55
matter are one of those toys where i can legitimately see
44:59
how the sealed one would have a lot more value
45:02
than the non-sealed one because the pieces are so small and there's it's
45:06
really hard to track down exactly what they're supposed to come with but that's
45:10
a lot of value to sell yes
45:14
so tell me what if i bought it to play with it so if you and not to sell it if
45:18
you collected mighty max let's say for example okay you know what no let's say
45:22
you collected polly pocket i'm not judging i'm just sure saying no that's
45:25
probably what you would claim either way would you buy something would
45:29
you collect something like that to sell or would that be more of a display piece
45:34
like if you collect collecting it to sell
45:37
then in my opinion that's a business what if you collected it just to own it
45:41
because that's a third that i would want to do something with it you would want
45:45
to do something i want to play with my little polly so you would take it out of
45:48
the package even if it's just to like put it on a nice display case and like
45:52
create like a little like and i have a still life and i have done that because
45:56
i have the i have the halos master chief helmet on a stand that's out of his
46:00
packaging i have uh the dragonborn
46:03
fighting a dragon statue thing from skyrim okay i have soldier 76 i have um
46:12
master sword in a stone i have
46:16
the chick from horizon zero dawn i have a few little statue kind of thingies
46:19
that are right kind of around my house i think they look really cool if they were
46:22
in their box it would be um the game box or plain
46:27
white foam okay all right fair enough which sounds
46:31
super lame honestly looking at these mighty maxes and polly pockets
46:36
man i think there's a legitimate business
46:39
model there of just buying like like actually huge
46:45
quantities yeah and like that's of like every toy go ahead but like i'm
46:49
the person that's buying it and then using it right
46:52
because like if you want to buy it to resell it sure nostalgia man like as
46:56
like who has nostalgia of a pippin
47:00
yeah i guess that's a fair point like a maximum of 42 000 people if
47:06
everyone loves loved it yeah and i like pretty much guarantee that's not what
47:10
happened so
47:14
i'm kind of thinking okay this is our next but we just forget
47:18
that yeah forget this Linus media group that's great okay you and i just no one
47:22
else is listening right well yeah i know what i'm gonna do okay so you and i are
47:25
gonna go into business okay we're just gonna find cheap storage space nice and
47:30
every night i mean someone's probably selling theirs now that we're out of this right right okay
47:35
every new stupid crappy trend yeah we
47:38
buy like a pallet of it perfect okay we buy a pallet of it we just store it all
47:43
indiana jones warehouse style okay and then we just wait for 20 years
47:48
because i i kid you not like sealed poly
47:51
pockets we're going for like 80 100 bucks yeah we're talking a 10x increase in
47:57
value over 20 years that's actually a not freaking bad return that's not bad
48:02
you just gotta nail it every time you don't even have to if you get it right
48:07
half of the time and you can probably flip it for
48:11
something the other parts of the time exactly it's like you know it's a really
48:15
good business model right now actually sure kind of frustrating is making like
48:20
advertising more aggressively and getting better seo using trendier
48:25
websites than companies that are actually doing what they're supposed to be doing and just buying knockoffs from
48:29
china like there was this new bra thing it's
48:34
like kind of a sticker and then you pull the thing in and it pulls i don't know
48:37
how it works i don't get it oh it's like a strapless push-up bra right yeah yeah
48:41
there was a lot of online pop-up shops that happened and it's essentially like
48:46
little mall kiosks but on the internet and they just pop up with crazy seo they
48:50
advertise through like facebook and youtube super aggressively
48:55
like really really aggressively so that they're always in your news feed and you're just like oh i've seen this
48:59
advertised everywhere i guess that's the one that i've seen that people are
49:02
talking about i guess i'll just buy that one and you just make it something if
49:05
it's just super generic you just buy a crap ton of them ship them over on like
49:09
a drop ship and then just throw up a whole bunch of
49:13
different you can even have one company that just has like a hundred websites
49:16
there are a lot of like skeevy crappy ways to make money aren't they yeah some
49:20
people are bringing up fidget spinners in the twitch chat and honestly
49:24
here's what i would kind of tell you because i think they were being
49:27
kind of sarcastic but here's the thing
49:32
and some of you might not be old enough to appreciate this yet
49:36
but nothing is as good now as it was when i was a kid
49:40
and i actually mean that objectively wagon wheels would be a perfect example
49:45
of a candy that was delicious and tastes like utter trash now
49:49
but like there's actually been changes to the recipe yes
49:52
uh honey nut cheerios are another example oh my gosh when i was like six
49:57
they were awesome they killed honey nut cheerios yeah like
50:00
poor marquez who loves his honey nut cheerios so much has never even tasted
50:05
honey nut cheerios i had the good old days ones okay so anyway
50:09
here's what will happen with something like fidget spinners they'll come back
50:13
but they'll be crappier so if you bought a bunch of cheap ones
50:18
today that would be a bad play but if
50:21
you bought a bunch of like premium and specialty ones like a bunch of like cool
50:26
ones or ones with like um
50:29
timeless branding like i don't know if pokemon is timeless but something like
50:34
um uh oh man i don't know about like toy
50:37
story but like like like gundam branding like some kind of
50:42
really resilient anime or something like that a really high quality one from like
50:46
a reputable maker a palette or two of those would be worth
50:50
a gold mine 20 years ago i'm sure of i wonder if even like uh
50:55
dude perfect ones no i okay
50:59
nothing against dude perfect but i wouldn't bet on any youtuber including
51:03
ourselves because they're too short-lived it's potentially too flash
51:07
in the pen right um and you look at every youtuber has what i call the curve
51:12
where they go yeah they go like sorry i'm gonna go across your face because i
51:15
was right behind the thing where they go like this everybody grows really slow at
51:19
the beginning because that's that's the nature of the algorithm and then they
51:22
grow and then they plateau
51:25
and then they decline and sometimes it's a slow decline and sometimes some come
51:29
back phil defranco ijustine these are examples of creators that that bucked
51:34
the curve and and you can also just kind of
51:38
flat and then manage to come back up again and then go flat and then you'll
51:41
come up again and then you'll fly yep but that curve i've seen it so many
51:46
times and there can be a thousand reasons uh got into tv yeah just lost
51:52
their passion team fell apart got bored uh
51:57
decided to form an mcn didn't adjust
52:01
with the current like meta didn't adjust
52:04
didn't change their thumbnails i just didn't care anymore like there's a
52:07
thousand reasons why people fade off the
52:10
platform but i have seen very few
52:13
examples of turning your platform success
52:17
once you are no longer supporting the youtube audience
52:21
into some kind of actual sustainable
52:24
off-platform success um i think uh harley from epic meal time would be an
52:30
example but i do have to wonder if his fortunes
52:34
today would actually be even better if he had stuck with youtube for longer
52:38
because youtube is kind of like the investment phase
52:43
of a modern web video production business
52:48
it's like it's like where you're burning money it's like when you got your seed
52:51
funding and the see the funding might just be your own time yeah but that's
52:55
where you're investing into the business and you're growing the audience and then
52:59
there's like a monetization phase where people might try to go off platform or
53:04
they might try to us sell shirts open a merch store they might try or they might
53:09
try to pewdiepie's mobile game where they try to monetize in other ways if
53:13
pewdiepie spent all his damn time on his mobile game
53:18
then the plateau would happen because the
53:21
youtube audience and investing into that audience and growing it is how you open
53:26
up new opportunities for all that other stuff down the line yeah
53:29
um and basically the second you stop focusing on youtube that's where you
53:34
start to see a decline generally speaking some people are like
53:39
uh this guy because you didn't like call them out
53:42
like yeah it's not the point yeah the point is in any particular individual
53:47
right now this is a this is a greater observation about the platform
53:53
um anyway i feel like we've gotten a little
53:56
a little off topic uh this was posted by mr troll on the forum the original
54:00
article is w from wccf tech so you can take it with a grain of uh
54:04
wccf tech but AMD is rumored to be
54:07
building once again a dual AMD top of the line GPU card
54:13
which would surprise me a lot um but apparently they're going to throw
54:17
a couple of vega 10xts on
54:21
a single graphics card really
54:25
wow apparently nearly 600 watts of power draw because
54:29
yolo
54:33
um wow i would recommend not buying it if
54:38
they make it
54:42
like directly
54:45
and that's the end of that chapter
54:49
um over 50 teraflops of fp16 compute
54:53
25 teraflops of fp32 compute so this
54:56
thing is like it's almost like a workstation card except that they're
55:00
gonna aries gamer brand it out to the nines it is 600 watts per single card
55:07
you know and you can just put two the power supply makers
55:11
have to be just giddy right now oh yeah because for the first time in quite a
55:16
few ever a 1500 watt power supply might actually
55:20
be necessary like i'm serious if you went 18 from
55:25
what i'm hearing rumor wise an 18 core core i9 but who's doing this
55:31
just hold on hold on that's what i don't know hold up that's what i don't
55:35
understand these new processors that everyone's pushing in the consumer space
55:38
are not consumer processors
55:42
i don't like i don't understand why everyone like on reddit and all this
55:46
kind of stuff is freaking out over these processors who's why are you bought are you buying
55:51
this why are you buying this it's not for you
55:55
it's not for me okay why does anyone care okay you could
56:00
have used a computer with that much wattage before if you just bought server
56:03
parts okay let me jump let me jump i'm gonna let you finish but i'm like
56:08
you can go ahead it's just so stupid i don't i don't know it's a chicken and
56:11
egg thing though will we ever get software development that is really and
56:15
truly honestly multi-threaded if
56:19
it doesn't come to the high end i think we're going to wait for constant and eventually trickle down
56:23
i think we're going to wait for cars to consoles yeah
56:26
but it's got to start somewhere so can we be excited just for the
56:31
beginning of it even if we don't want to buy it is like old as hell now that's
56:35
true but knight's corner didn't have
56:38
single threaded performance like these new ones do that's true
56:43
these are like they're the everything so when people are like uh like that one's
56:47
too expensive this is like are you gonna buy the other one is that one more
56:51
affordable for you this is the happiest you're still in the red i need it to
56:54
product like okay but think about it this way too what about the used market
56:58
three years from now you could use market on a two thousand dollar process
57:02
yeah it but it would be like you know six hundred bucks
57:06
because we've seen the curve in three years yeah maybe
57:10
before would be cheaper at least the process is finally starting
57:15
because here's the thing for the power supply makers
57:18
for all this time they've had a product that has
57:22
no legitimate they they tried to be the
57:25
first one out so they're like everyone else can now make things that need more whatsoever
57:30
there was no upgrade at all
57:35
yeah yeah whereas now there is legitimately okay when all of
57:40
my baller friends get tired of their vega 64s and buy
57:44
something more efficient probably and their and their you know core i9s
57:49
because word on the street is like overclocked you could be looking at
57:54
hundreds uh not a couple
57:57
hundreds of watts through an 18 core
58:00
core i9 through the socket okay so you know i could buy this stuff for
58:05
pennies on the dollar and have legitimately a baller ass gaming machine
58:11
but i but i need a baller power supply for it so like scrapyard wars
58:15
2026 is gonna be banging yeah pretty
58:18
much and and and like the one thing that
58:21
we're going to make sure that we invest in this time
58:25
is a good power supply
58:29
like a really good one yeah yeah
58:33
um what else we got here
58:38
paris is apparently considering esports for the 2024 olympics which i like
58:44
i've defended esports on the lan show against you for years and i think this
58:47
is so dumb yeah i would be down with there being like an
58:52
easy olympics sure but that should be like it should be
58:56
like okay and don't take this the wrong way careful
59:00
now but it should go olympics
59:03
paralympics and then e olympics
59:06
because quite frankly even if you just see it as like first
59:10
one into the gate the audience overlap
59:13
is like negligible yeah probably you could run
59:17
them at the same time no because then i think that's like
59:22
okay think about like you know households with one screen you know okay
59:27
yeah yeah yeah junior doesn't want to fight with grandpa over you know who's
59:31
got the tv yeah um but you know what what have we got here
59:35
they'll consider an inclusion as a metal event accordingly okay you gotta read
59:39
this quote you have to right there we have to look at it because we can't say
59:43
it's not us it's not about olympics then the next one the youth yes they're
59:47
interested in esports and this kind of thing let's look at it let's meet them
59:50
let's try and see if we can find some bridges the youths
59:53
they like they like the electronics
59:58
we need to find a way to incorporate it so that the youths are interested
60:05
oh my goodness all right uh this was posted by the beast pc on the
60:09
forum the original article is from tom's guide
60:13
this is apparently what the iphone 8 looks like
60:17
it's an iphone 8 dummy unit and it's a video
60:20
dagnabbit looks like a marquez video looks like a
60:24
marquez video i like that that carpet right there that still
60:27
doesn't have his uh thing that i told him to put on it when i inspected his
60:30
studio um okay
60:33
well we'll see how that goes i wow i i can't actually believe how
60:38
much i hate this really i don't mind it oh i think it's
60:41
because the screen extends on each side of it it's a terabyte i think it's just
60:44
a way to get more screen real estate because you have like little notification things up there like your
60:48
battery status and stuff is in line with your camera
60:53
i don't mind it at all personally
60:56
that i really hope that's not the touch sensor on the back
61:00
that is pure cancer right in the middle
61:03
is mine written i don't know is it i think so i thought it was up a
61:06
little bit uh no you might be right actually that might be closer to the lg
61:10
approach let me i'm going to i can't remember my phone on me wow i actually
61:14
don't remember the last time i was that
61:17
not caring about a uh an iphone apparently not in the middle
61:21
at all oh yeah okay i'm sorry apparently it'll have wireless uh
61:26
charging it'll still have a camera bump on the back
61:29
and this is ridiculous okay this is posted
61:32
by snorting frogs on the forum we have been hounding seagate to let us
61:37
play with their 60 terabyte SSD since they announced it like a year ago
61:41
they still haven't gotten one to us and now they announce a 64 terabyte NVMe SSD
61:47
gosh darn it you guys no i'm real upset now
61:54
well i'll just ask for this one instead there you go disney to pull their
61:58
content from netflix this is originally from bloomberg this is a big deal
62:01
actually yeah so the
62:04
happy ecosystem that where you just pay one flat fee
62:09
and you get pretty much all the content that you could want
62:13
is getting fragmented so much for the idea of pulling the plug
62:20
or cutting the cord or whatever it's called there's a tied
62:23
commercial so much for cutting the cord and being
62:27
able to get pretty much everything you want for like 15 bucks a month in 4k
62:31
um it is you're gonna have to start building your own cable package the way
62:35
you used to subscribing to a bunch of different services and there is a huge
62:40
gap that is that just got formed
62:44
in the market for someone who's the aggregator
62:49
who's like okay basically a cable network yeah the online cable network is
62:55
coming where they're just like a platform where you buy your your disney
63:01
and your netflix and your other packages you view it all in one space and it uses
63:04
all the apis to bring together a nice little thing or if that's gonna be plex
63:08
i think the tv makers are gonna jump on this oh
63:12
so you think there's gonna be like a sims i think google could jump on this
63:16
yeah i think samsung is going to try and do their own thing with tizen i feel
63:20
like google might fail actually i think google's going to try to do it through
63:24
youtube and people aren't going to want that i don't think they will i think they're going to do it through devices
63:28
like the NVIDIA shield tv because remember too that there are tv
63:32
manufacturers including sony that bake full Android experiences into
63:37
their tv yeah but there's people that want this on their laptop the the trend
63:41
of like yup like university girl watching netflix all the time on her
63:44
macbook is like that's on her macbook not on her
63:48
tv it would be interesting for plex to go after it i don't think plex would
63:51
have the i don't think plex would have a negotia i don't think they'd have a seat
63:54
at the negotiation table come on plex further but for their support of piracy
63:59
all these years they're like uh we don't support piracy
64:04
but supportive piracy for all these years i don't think they win a chance to
64:07
talk about this interesting so i'll be interested to see where this goes but
64:12
one way or another disney pulled their catalog from netflix
64:16
they will stop supplying disney and pixar branded movies starting in 2019
64:19
and launch an online product of their own going directly to consumers this is part
64:25
of the reason why lioness started it and i've been doing
64:28
it for a little while now i've been like collecting when they go on crazy sales
64:33
on amazon blu-ray copies of yep movies
64:36
and tv shows that i'm personally really interested in because like yep
64:40
oh yay it's on netflix then it might just disappear
64:43
who knows and like to be clear i'm still gonna have a netflix subscription and i
64:47
do as well but the blu-ray does look a lot better if you're a big snob and if
64:51
you're like a crazy fanatic of a certain show
64:55
there's extras and some of them are really cool i really like commentary yep
64:59
that's one of my things i've always really liked like one of my favorite things ever was the making of dvd for i
65:04
think it's halo 2 or halo 3 i don't remember which one that was amazing i
65:08
love making of things and i love commentaries i i really like interviews
65:11
with producers actually yeah um like honestly that's like the making of
65:15
usually the interviews with larry david on the uh on the seinfeld complete
65:20
collection that i got at uh i got it at costco it was like so cheap it was
65:23
awesome that's the thing you snipe them on sales don't buy them at full price
65:26
because they're really expensive like hmv shut down and i got like six seasons
65:30
of game of thrones i'm still i'm still not watching but like i know i'm going
65:35
to watch them i got like a bunch of seasons of walking dead six seasons no i
65:38
got i think four seasons of game of thrones like six of walking dead which i still want to watch haven't even started
65:42
it yet but um yeah so
65:46
apparently they'll continue the relationship with marvel marvel tv
65:51
i got billington's excellent adventure and billet ted's bogus journey in a
65:55
combo pack for like five dollars or something
65:58
which was awesome oh oh oh oh
66:02
okay now this might be a case of picking studies based on confirming your own
66:06
bias but um uh this is off tech crunch apparently
66:11
some study finds and i haven't looked at their methodology at all but this is
66:14
just funny to me because honestly i think fitness trackers are the stupidest
66:18
most useless fat of all we're very against them um
66:22
i think we're both very for like
66:25
physical health and exercise and taking care of yourself i'm about that if you
66:29
have to like track your steps you're really not doing it right yeah
66:33
so fitbit apparently turns teens off exercising
66:40
has to do with pressure from pressure from competition with peers
66:44
encouraged in app leaderboard and also all the other things that are like push
66:49
push push compete against this other person only work for short term style
66:54
motivational effects or and this is the other thing i believe that fitness
66:57
trackers are great for people who were already going to be
67:01
ripped as hell and exercising all the time anyway
67:05
like it's one of those things where i don't see the fitness tracker
67:09
as a as a solution if you're only going for steps yes that's another thing they
67:14
mentioned here the un completely non-personalized 10 000 steps per day
67:19
target was cited as unfair and pressurizing goal generating feelings of
67:23
guilt or lack of ability among users like if you're working on it but it's
67:28
really diffic like very difficult for you to get 10 000 steps a day and you
67:32
just feel like you're failing all the time because you're doing like 9 000 steps but you're like really trying you
67:37
know what i'm at today that's terrible i don't even know how to check it on
67:40
here plus no
67:44
wow crap i legitimately actually don't know how to check on here
67:48
uh i never use the apple watch so it's like
67:53
i i should just switch to a watch honestly yeah
67:58
i've said that for a while to start sharing your activity sync to
68:02
the iphone yeah i don't even have it synced to my phone right now um
68:06
gamer's nexus tests the knock Noctua fan
68:09
rumors so we'll post the original article here in the twitch chat already
68:14
oh already then i knew you're gonna go into this next um they tested differences
68:19
including appearance noise and effectiveness and the online community
68:23
was quick to crap on Noctua about this
68:26
but it turns out the differences in the tooling were mostly to do with just not
68:30
just having two separate sets of molds at two different locations and two
68:34
separate facilities that have different capabilities and tuning that took place between
68:38
creating an original mold and a later mold um
68:41
and their quality standards haven't changed at all i was informed by Noctua
68:46
that our LTT edition fans were actually produced in china all of them and the nf
68:50
a14 has been they were great yeah they were great the nfa14 i believe has been
68:54
over there for a long time um but basically
68:57
uh gamers nexus got a larger sample
69:01
and debunked the claims it was down to
69:04
unit to unit variability for the original posts and
69:09
basically it's all within margin of error there's no difference between
69:13
china and taiwan made fans except for the appearance
69:17
and Noctua has always had issues with their color matching we've got old
69:21
Noctua fans where the cream is closer to white
69:24
and the brown is closer to like a reddish brown
69:27
or closer to like i particularly don't like in terms of
69:31
color the newer ones are not that big of a deal so there you go so that's pretty
69:34
much it for the lan show did you have anything else to uh
69:38
uh don't believe i can't talk about what i did this week so i don't really believe
69:42
so all right it's been a long week so i want to get the heck out of here i actually have a bunch of stuff i have to
69:46
cart up to the second story over there after this anyway so okay all right
69:50
we'll see you again next week same bat time same bat channel bye
69:55
wow lots of viewers today 6 800 almost 6 900
69:59
6900 that's pretty sick
70:04
that's pretty six d nine hundred
70:08
yeah all right so i guess uh keep these organized
70:16
right i also noticed the kids ones for these comes with a
70:19
whole bunch of replacement ones so that even if you break the side off you can
70:22
just replace it that's sick that's actually pretty smart they know what's up with kids yeah
70:28
someone on their team has had a child
