Alright, guys, I think we're finally live, so I know, I know you're tired of my crap
and I always have some kind of an excuse for why the show couldn't possibly have been on
time today, but no, really, today, today was a truly, truly exceptional, truly out of the
ordinary situation, so number one, we actually had to move, I didn't realize until, okay,
so this was the thing I didn't realize, this wasn't unavoidable, but I didn't realize until
it was basically time to like get ready for a WAN show, that all of the WAN show stuff
had to be moved out of that orange room that I was broadcasting from before because we've
had Esther, so my sister-in-law, you might remember her as NCIX Esther, so we've had
Esther helping us out with decorating, sort of, well, furnishing, furnishing the office
and she had us move all the WAN show stuff out of that room in order for her to start
furnishing it, so everything was scattered all over the place, I had to get all that
going, and I'm trying to talk while I type the URL where people are supposed to tune
in so that I can put the announcement up on YouTube, there we go, I've got that done,
so then thing number two that happened today, which was pretty darn frustrating, was I got
everything all set up here and then we're like, oh crap, where's the microphone, oh
no, where's the capture card, okay, so John borrowed the capture card because we've got
an overclocking guide for Skylake coming that is going to be pretty freaking cool and exciting
and all that, but he needed the capture card, so I didn't have my capture card, and then
this microphone, which I've been using for WAN show lately, was actually relocated to
the inventory that my wife has been working on getting all set up, so we didn't have the
microphone, so I was like, oh no, okay, okay, so then we got all those things going and
I was like, alright, we're ready to rock here, and I start getting things set up, like open
up XSplit, I'm like, what?
And it says, that XSplit account cannot be found, so I'm like, oh, well, oh shoot, well,
my account is weird because Twitch actually set me up with an account, I have not paid
for XSplit until today, so originally when I started streaming WAN show on Twitch, Twitch
set me up with an XSplit account temporarily, and then, before that expired, I actually
got XSplit on board as a sponsor of Linus Media Group, so they set me up with an account,
so somehow, somewhere, the wires must have gotten crossed, and what was happening was
I was going to sign into XSplit to stream the show today, and it was telling me I didn't
have an account, and when I tried to recover my password, it was saying, no such account
found, so it's like, lost in the ether, and then when I tried to sign up for a new account,
using my email address, it's like, nope, nope, that email address is already in use, and
I'm like, what, you gotta be kidding me, so I had to use a different email address, and
to take care of it forever, I just signed up for a lifetime XSplit account, I don't
even care, and, so now, I will never have to worry about it again, apparently a lifetime
XSplit account is $450, so today I learned, but, you know what, it's worth it if you
use it all the time, we've got people being like, you paid for this crap when OBS just
worked, the reason we don't use OBS is not because we're not aware of OBS, we're
aware of OBS, so I'm perfectly happy with XSplit, it's just a minor glitch, account
got lost, and people are like, oh, you paid for this, no I didn't, I'm pretty sure that's
why my account is all screwed up, because I actually hadn't paid for XSplit before,
but I'm now officially a paying customer, so, there you go.
People are like, $450 drops dead, you guys have got no idea what it costs to be a content
creation professional, let me tell ya, $450 is nothing, nothing, I'm pretty sure that's
less than what we paid for a single codec on our recording device for our main camera,
it's like, it's nothing, it's a drop in the bucket, I'm not saying it's nothing,
$450 is a lot of money, but when it comes to video creation tools, that's not expensive,
we were looking at, this is actually really cool, okay, it's pre-intro, but I'm still
gonna do this, I'm gonna jump into, replace warp, it's either an after effects or it
is a premiere plugin, but this thing just came out, you know what, I'm gonna yell
at someone in the editing room, this is really cool though, so there's a new stabilizer
plugin essentially, what's that plugin you showed me earlier for stabilization, and it
replaces the warp stabilizer that you can use through Adobe, and it's like freaking
amazing, Colton, Colton, send me the link for that stabilizer that you were looking
at today, I wanna show people on the stream, and that cost $400, just for a plugin, a plugin
for Adobe Creative Cloud, which costs $80 a month per seat, it's just a plugin, it's
a pretty sick plugin, they were showing like drone footage that was stabilized to crap,
they were showing just like some pretty shaky, pretty brutal stuff, and it looks absolutely
amazing, here it is, so this is a Vimeo link that I've got here, there we go, so it's
called RealSteady, that's the one, and why is, just a second, let me, oh, there we go,
screen capture, and screen region, boom, professional video stabilization for After Effects, okay,
desktop region, nope, nope, and add screen capture, and boom, huh, there I am, being
all like yep, XSplit's working great for me, and here we are, for some reason my news item
is not, is not showing up, well, yay, I'm feeling pretty good about that at the moment,
what the, what the weird, this is some really bizarre stuff right now, I've actually never
seen it do this before, huh, well there you go, derp, okay, so check this out, check this
out guys, professional, professional whatever they're calling it, okay, so that's warp stabilizer,
you can really see that like jello wobbly effect, that is some crazy next level stuff,
now, it is fairly apparent that, hold on, I'm just gonna, I don't know what the volume
is like on this right now, I haven't, I haven't adjusted it, hopefully you guys can hear me
over this, but it's fairly apparent when you look at the footage that they're losing some
sharpness and some people online are talking about how with a subject that moves around
within the frame a lot, it doesn't work as well, but this is still some really, really
crazy stuff right here, so yeah, that's $400 just for a plugin, so I'm gonna go ahead and
roll the intro because clearly this show has no direction, maybe that'll help me gather
my thoughts for a second here and then I can bring on my guest and we can get into what
I think will be probably the coolest segment of the show, so here it goes.
I have a third sponsor today, nope, not that one, I already showed that one, that I don't
have an intro screen for, but don't worry too much about that, basically Intel, Intel
for their game on, they're down at PAX, they're doing all kinds of crazy cool stuff, so let's
jump into our first real topic of the day, I'm going to introduce my guest and I hope
this works, Tyler, nice shirt by the way bro, alright, so I hope they can hear you alright
because I certainly can and I have pretty much no way of bringing up Twitch chat now
and making sure that they can hear you, so Tyler, why don't you, oh hangouts, how I do
adore you, that was a great thing that just happened right there, so guys, one or the
other, right, I never even went through all the issues I'm having with the stream, so
once I got everything working, I realised that my CPU usage was at 100% and it seemed
to be to do with my hangouts video feed from Tyler here, who is, hopefully I'm going to
be able to, hopefully I'm going to be able to get him back and apparently there was no
sound from him anyway, so I'm going to have to figure that out, that out as well, boy
I am having quite the day today, you guys are witnessing live what it's like for me
to be completely, so this, this is what I go through, this is what it's like for me
to set up the show, wow this is great, so I'm, here we go, here we go, so I am in this
video call, why don't I, why don't I, why don't I drop out of that video call, maybe
we'll switch to, well, no, hold on, maybe this will work, okay, yep, maybe this will
work, so I'm going to, so basically what I did was I turned off my video feed to hopefully
get CPU utilisation low enough that I was able to, that I was able to make this happen,
so open volume mixer, alright, let's see if maybe my guest has audio this time, guys can
you hear Tyler, let's hope for the best here, if you talk it might help Tyler, I can hear
you just fine, I'm still trying to figure out if they can, and because Twitch chat trolls
me incessantly, it is, it is actually, it is actually not necessarily that likely that
I will be able to, that I will be able to determine based on what they say whether or
not you're working here, so hold on, let me just, I'm going to switch you away so that
I can go ahead and, nope, nope, nope, apparent, I'm muted, what, it says I'm muted, hold on,
okay well you can hear me now right, yeah but that doesn't solve, that doesn't solve
their problem where they're saying they cannot hear you, so I, I am at a bit of a loss, maybe
we'll, okay, oh wow, yeah, yeah I got that, thank you, I'm getting a report from inside
that they cannot hear Tyler, that, that is quite a fascinating, that is quite a fascinating
thing, I wonder if it's just a matter of like setting up a different, a different speaker,
hold on, okay well let's try that, okay, talk again, well now I can't hear you, so, wow,
wouldn't it be funny, wouldn't it be funny if they could hear you now, I would laugh,
I would find that amusing, if, if I was basically out of luck, and you guys could hear him,
oh wow, okay, wow, I just bumped the capture card, I'm live, alright, so we're back, I,
so I would hold it up to demonstrate exactly what happened, yeah see I can hear you really
well in my right ear, the problem though is that when I go into my device configuration,
oh here we go, wait what the crap is this, oh hold on, is it gone, hey Tyler can you
talk, yeah can you hear me, I can hear you, yeah I can hear you, any echo, is that it,
are we good, yeah, alright, alright, I love this show, woo, and we're back, okay, welcome
to the show for real, this is Tyler, Tyler introduce yourself, who the crap are you,
and why should we care, yeah you shouldn't really care, no I am just a 25 year old guy
in 20C in Tennessee designing stuff, alright so what are some of the other projects, because
as I recall we didn't really see much of your portfolio before you emailed in, and you're
basically like, yeah I'm so like, I'm a huge fan of the show, and like, I'll work for peanuts
if I can design your new warehouse and new office space, and we were like, wow, so we
actually have had zero other applicants for this job, and if this guy is anywhere near
a complete not an idiot, then that should be perfect, and so that was basically how
you want it, but can you tell me some of the other stuff that you've done, well the firm
that I work at here, I do a bunch of dental work, dental offices, I do a bunch of residential
work, that's probably the majority of the things that I do, you might say that first
one is just the filler material, yeah pretty much, well they do take some time, but you
gotta drill down on the details, yeah literally, drill down, yeah you gotta, it's kind of picky
work, are you being very specific about dentists, I'm just, I'm just making, I'm making dental
implement jokes, it's not very funny, it's okay, it's okay, so basically what interested
you about working on this project, well I've been a fan of the show ever since you started
your company, and I feel like after watching you guys so much in your reviews, your, the
WAN show, all these different videos that you make, I feel like of all the people, I
could design this around you guys, because I know y'all's characteristics, and that's
basically what, yep, you broke up for a second there, hopefully we get you back pretty quick
here, alright, and we're dropping frames, well yeah, we are encoding frames again, so
that's exciting, but we, we may have lost Tyler a little bit there, which is pretty,
pretty interesting, you guys can look at that blurry, blurry picture of Tyler, it's very
nice, or I could actually, I could actually move that out of the way, until he comes back,
which would be super awesome, alright, well in the meantime, why don't I go ahead and
jump into one of the topics that we actually have for the show, and we're back, for real
this time, I super duper hope is the case, for good this time, I also super hope is the
case, wow, I think this may be a new record for the, wow, I was about to say, this may
be a new record for the most broken wan show of all time, please wait, look at yourself
while you wait, you can make sure that your video is working, which, sure, why not, that's
real helpful right now, just face, face microphone is all I can say, because this is, this is
one, this is one broken show today guys, look, look like it was gonna kinda, oh, oh, it's
gonna try, it's gonna try, who can it do, alright, and, oh, I think we're back for real
this time, this is like a roller coaster, it's up, it's down, it's down again, it goes
down some more, it's up for like another second, and then it's down, okay, so I don't even
remember what you're talking about, Tyler, can you, can you feed it to me one more time?
What was the last thing I said?
I don't, I don't know, maybe some of the viewers were paying enough attention to know what's
going on, something, something, you watch the show, something helpful, know our personalities,
there, that's a summary, okay, yeah, alright, so, yeah, the last thing I said was, I felt
like a new year all's characteristic quite a bit, so I could design the space for you
guys quite relevant, relevantly, you know, between y'all's work, between y'all's workshop,
your bench, bench testing area, I felt like I had a knack for how you guys flow, so I
took a chance, I sent an email, immediately after you announced it on the WAN Show, back
in November, and I said surely I could, I could get to this guy, you know, hopefully
it could happen, because I really wanna do this, I really wanna say I did this, so lucked
out and it's been a blast ever since.
Alright so, how about this, do you have any of the early sketches that you did of what
the space was gonna look like that you can share with us, did you find them, I know you
just moved.
Yeah, yes, yes, I found a couple of them, not some of the earliest ones, but after we
kinda had a, a knack for, a feel for it back when the staircase was in the very front,
so let's see if this camera didn't hold, oh that's right, I forgot about that, okay,
now I got, I got some extra ones here for you, alright, excellent, okay, this was, apparently
this is version A, and this is the one that's there within the very front, there we go,
okay, okay, so here you go guys, I got my mouse on here, so this was the original plan,
can you shift a little bit to your right, oh that's, that's good too, there, that's
perfect, okay, so version A, so basically the doors are fixed, because they're part
of the outer, outer structure, there was nothing we could do for that, we were originally gonna
put Nick in like, the bitch seat here, right at the front, so whenever anyone knocked at
the door, it was gonna be Nick, so that says sales slash admin, and then, Tyler, was it
a code violation that was why we couldn't put the stairs here?
Yes, apparently, well, the contractors didn't feel comfortable not having it enclosed how
we have it now, and the, which, it works out great now, because the fact that you have
an upstairs office, it was, the code required that the staircase be enclosed and fire rated,
so we kind of had to, it kind of had to make a shift, and then my mind was exploded, because
I was frustrated, because I wanted that staircase, I had a brilliant idea for that staircase
up front, but it kind of got shut down, so we had to alter the plan a little bit, but
I think it turned out for the, for the better, okay, show it to us again, show it to us again,
I'll walk people through, like, what else we got, what else we got going on here, okay,
so this is really funny, that, that is, no, no, this was, this was gonna be the server
room, so we were gonna have the server room inside, this was before, I think it was, Tyler,
was it your idea or mine to move the server room out under the stairs and widen the stairs?
I think it was, I think it was your idea, to be honest, because you wanted the server
room to be a slightly bigger. Yes, and I didn't want to waste, like, expensive floor area
on what was essentially just gonna be, like, a bunch of computers sitting on a, sitting
on a shelf, so, so you guys can actually see here that even though the library underwent
several revisions, even one where there was a room here that was gonna be like a weird
closet where I was gonna put someone, maybe Nick again, the library actually has almost
returned to its original shape, with the only difference being that the door is where the
server room used to be, the kitchenette is actually the one thing that really hasn't
moved, the bench testing room has changed a lot though, you can see originally storage
was gonna be at the back, and then the L desks were gonna be, like, here, and there was,
like, a weird, like, testing table here, and then the work studio has always kind of been
a constant. Okay, so, do you have any other revisions for us? Yeah, let's see, well, in
regards to the library, because you mentioned it went through, you know, several revisions,
I think several is a very small term, I think it went through dozens and dozens of looks,
and I went through dozens and dozens of layouts from the very beginning, because I know you
said we needed it to fit in this area, and I was like, for what you want, there's no
possible way that's gonna fit. Yeah, I was like, I was like, okay, Tyler, I have a thousand
square feet, and I want you to put 1,500 square feet in it, so, go! And I was like, no. So
this guy twists my arm, he's like, well, like, what if we could extend, you know, the back
wall, just a bit, come on Linus, just a bit, we extend the back wall just a bit, and we
go 1,100 square feet, and I'm like, can you put 1,500 square feet in 1,100 square feet?
And so you got another revision to show us? Okay, so, in regards to the library, okay,
this is, these are really, really tiny, because I was overlaying them, so this is trace paper
that I would overlay on the sketch that I was just showing you, so hold on, let me try
it. We're learning all these techniques here, guys, we're gonna be able to be like, designers
like Tyler now. Okay, so here, there you go. Not quite. Here, I can show them what's up,
so this was when the sales slash admin had moved to the other side, so yet another revision
to the front, and then the kitchenette is still where it was, and then the library was
gonna be like a couple couches, and then some desks here, which, the layout of the furniture
anyway has even changed since, changed from anything Tyler envisioned, because we've got
an investor coming in and like, doing the design of that, but that was what the space was kind of envisioned
as being. Okay, you got any other ones for us? Yeah, and this is a different one with
the wall not being angled like the previous version I just showed you, so this is very
slight different, but you can see the wall right here. And then the bitch desk at the
front there gets a little side table, or a filing cabinet, if it was Nick we were gonna
put there, which was very, very likely. That poor person. And then this inevitably is the
first sketch of the final design for the library. Ooh, you guys are seeing like concept art
now. So the reason for this is that this was, this weird shaped wall was, this is Esther's
concept, was gonna end up with like kind of a built-in bookcase or something here, and
it was gonna have like a display wall for like, awards and like, you know, Guinness
World Records that we've broken and stuff like that. And so this was cut in because
we had to relocate the stairs just outside of the frame right here to go straight up
and we actually, okay you can go ahead and put that down, I'm not putting it in anymore,
and we had to change the front entryway to have like these fire rated doors so that,
you know, fire couldn't something something, people can get down from the upstairs, whatever,
who cares about the people upstairs. So that was how we ended up with that weird shape
because it's not that I wanted a reception desk. I believe, Tyler, is it correct that
by that point in the design stage we had decided that visitors were going to come to bay, to
door 104, and we were gonna have like a remote entry buzz-in system? Is that correct? Yeah,
that's correct. We had talked about a way where you can give them a little bit of access
or if there was a frequent visitor, maybe they had a card and they slid a card and they
were able to get in. Like high tech stuff. Yeah. And there was another design once we
decided to move the staircase to where it is now, because like again, the library had
changed so much, but this was kind of an oddball idea that was good, it didn't turn out the
way it did. Ah, yes. That would have actually been so bizarre when you walked in, because
this would have scooched the library up to the point where the editing den, I think we
had to, this is the one you sent me where you made the editing den smaller, wasn't it?
No, the editing den's the same size, I think. Is this prior to moving the back wall or something
like that? Oh, this is, yeah. Yes. So we ended up, this is where he negotiated, so the compromise
here was that we either had to extend the back wall or we had to, in order to compress
this space here, and then that was where we lost the weird sales slash admin, weird closet
thing that you were going to walk straight into back here. It was going to be super weird
and it was going to be really crowded by the front. So the reason we ended up with a reception
area at all, because I didn't really feel like I needed one, was in case we ever want
to resell the place. So that was how we ended up with the weird cutout in the library, so
that someone could sit there if they really, really wanted to. And the other thing about
the resell that we pointed out was the contractors and I discussed heavily with hundreds and
hundreds of emails about what the heck we were going to do about the structure. And
I know Yvonne and I have been talking back and forth with it too, said, where are we
going to put these bearing walls? And we got to thinking, no, they're going to want to
resell it later. We can't have any bearing walls in this place because the new tenant
will just want to rip it all out and design it themselves. So we had to make a decision
there on what the heck we were going to support the storage at the time, which was, so now
the floor that you guys have should be overrated for what an office space is stronger than
what it should be. So you guys had to re-engineer the downstairs structurally because the original
plan, and this is actually something that a lot of viewers won't know, the original
plan for the upper floor of the office space was just to have like an outside staircase
up there and it was just going to be storage, like shelves and shelves and shelves of random
overflow storage. So it was designed for us to have a bunch of storage crap up there and
then when we made the deal with Vessel and all of a sudden we kind of went, oh crap,
how are we even going to build out that upstairs once we've moved in because we're going to
be trying to film and they're going to be trying to build an office, which is obviously
two things that don't mesh too well together. And we kind of went, okay, let's just build
out the upstairs, how are we going to get rid of all this stuff? That is where the garage
sale concept was born. Not because we wanted to have a garage sale, but because we literally
took an eraser to our storage area and put in offices. That's what happened.
Yeah, it was a last minute decision. You're like, we got, we got some extra stuff we want
to do. Let's throw some offices and then we got like a week. Okay. Let's throw it there.
So okay. So this, this is kind of a funny story. Tyler, I don't know if you actually
even know this, but do you, do you have any early drawings of the upstairs?
Oh gosh. No, because that wasn't really, I didn't even get the, I didn't have time to
even sketch that. That was just pure computer work.
Go, go, go, go for gold. Just, just do all, do the detail drawing up upright and then,
and then hopefully we'll just make that. No. Okay. So we actually did make some revisions
to Tyler's original drawing and this is kind of a funny story. I don't even know if you
know this Tyler. So, so he sent me the, the computer drawing and my wife and I went out
into the cul-de-sac in front of our house with a laptop with the drawing on it. We,
we went out there with like a gigantic tape measure and sidewalk chalk because neither
of us are really that good, like just looking at a piece of paper and envisioning what that
space is like to walk around in. And by this stage they had actually already put up the,
the, like the outside of the downstairs and we were walking around in it before they actually
put up any of the inside walls going, wow, this is a really claustrophobic, really small
space. I really hope that we've done the right thing here. Okay. We need to not make these
same mistakes for the upstairs. So my wife and I came to the office on a weekend with
sidewalk chalk and drew out all the walls of the downstairs and went, wow, this is really
tight. Uh oh. And then we were like, okay, let's not make the same mistake for the upstairs.
So we went out in our cul-de-sac and we actually drew out the entire thing so that we could
walk around in the office in the middle of the, of the, of like the bulbous end of our
street. And that was how we ended up redesigning. Okay. So that is how our conference room.
So Tyler, you had originally had the conference room, like about what percent wider than what
we ended up with? I would say it would be about 10% wider than it was. Okay. It was
a little bit wider and it was also in three different locations. If at first I had the
conference room in your office. Right. Yes. And then I decided I wanted the window out
into my empire. Yup. Pretty much. Um, so, and then 10% doesn't sound like a lot, but
let me tell you guys 10% is the difference between having enough room to have a chair
on one side of a table and not having enough room to have a chair on one side of a table.
So that was where the concept of the built-in, the built-in bench over top of, of like the,
the, like the space that's taken up by like the exit sign in the floor below. Cause they'd
like, they don't quite meet up evenly. So that was where the concept of the built-in
bench to make enough room to have chairs around all the other edges of the conference room
came from. Not because we were like, yeah, we're like a quirky like web 2.0 company.
We're going to have like a bench in our conference room. It was because I decided that if we
made the conference room, the width Tyler wanted, we were taking up too much space from
the open concept area. And my office was too big. So that was from walking around in the
cul-de-sac that's where all that came from. I think you actually told me, I think you
or Yvonne one told me about you guys going up there with chalk. Like I might've known
that. And you must've been thinking, wow, this is like the ultimate amateur hour. No,
I actually thought it was pretty genius. I mean, you don't know how the space is going
to feel unless you go there. No, it's, it's pretty tough. It's pretty tough. So, so tell
me like you were doing this in addition to your regular job, you're East coast, right?
Yeah. So we would get emails from this guy at like two, two 30 in the morning, three
in the morning, our time. What was your personal life like when you were working on this project,
man? Oh gosh, it was, well, I didn't really have, I didn't really do a whole lot whole
lot cause all my friends moved away. So I've been kind of readjusting to where I'm at now,
but man coming, it was weird going from work, doing that nine hour, eight to nine hour job
of architecture and then coming home and to be like, I gotta, I gotta do this guy's thing.
So how long is this going to take? I was dedicated, but it was going to get done. And then when
I was sending those emails to you two 33 in the morning, it was six 37, you know, 30 in
the morning, my time. So that's when I woke up, I think our first conversation you are
on the phone, you were like, can I call you at one 30 like my time? I'm like, yeah, sure.
Why not? Well, the thing is, is like, is like I, I work, you know, self-employed, you know,
not typical hours. So when I'm in the office, when I'm in the studio, that's when all of
my staff are in, I need to be like shooting videos. So then I get home, I've got like
a couple hours with the kids, which is all I really get. So I'm like, okay, no, that's,
that's kids time. And then I sit down and I'm like, I'm like fried. And that's when
I get to sit and, you know, write or do emails or whatever else. So anything that's extracurricular,
like if I'm not writing tomorrow's video, cause I got to get that done and I have to
be somewhat lucid when I'm doing that, anything extracurricular kind of falls into, well,
it has to come after. So I'm like, yeah, like I work kind of weird hours, Tyler, is this
going to work for you? No, it worked out fine. I had to take a break there every now and
then though, but entertain the eyes on the weekend, but it was, it was all good. So,
okay. So, so, so tell me something like, would you, would you do it again? Would you do this
project again? Yes. Okay. What's it like seeing, seeing the finished office for you, even though
we haven't furnished it yet. It's really cool. Cause it's the only project I've done in Canada.
And that alone was miraculous. Didn't think I could actually do it because we're consulting
with so many other many people up there in Surrey. It was, it was an email blast all
day. I'm trying to do my job, my regular job. And I'm like, my phone's going off the hook
with emails from, from you guys. And I'm like, this is, this is awesome, but it was fun.
It was an experience. So yeah, I'd totally do it again. You know, what's really funny
is you're talking about the email barrage. So I thought, and this is like my miss, just
me being totally naive. I thought that the email thread that I was cc'd on between you
and Yvonne that had gotten so long that it took like 20 plus 30 plus seconds to load
in Gmail. I thought that was the only one between you two. Oh no, no, no, no. I know.
No, I know that now. So there were multiple Gmail threads throughout this project that
basically can't load. And some of them were like, like the images I sent you earlier.
Some of those emails have 10 Meg, 12 Meg renderings on them. No wonder they're not going to load.
Oh crap. I haven't even, okay. Okay. I got to kind of kick you off for a second here.
No, no, they'll still be able to hear you. But I got to like, I got to boot off your
face for a second here so that I can show everyone some of the, some of the renders.
So this was, this was, this was really cool. This was a really cool part of the experience
for me. Let me just check. I think you sent that as a drive link. Is that correct? Yes.
Okay. Let me, let me pull that up. There we go. There we go. Drive link. So this was really
cool. This was, this was a neat part of the process that I didn't, didn't even occur to
me. Like I thought you guys are seeing like the overhead drawings, like the, just the,
the top down drawings, spec drawings, but there were actually, let me just go ahead
and share this with you guys. I hope. Oh, Nope. It looks like I, I broke some things
when there we go. So these were some of the renderings that that we, that we got to look
at when we were kind of conceptualizing the whole thing. So this was an early drawing
of what this would look like with a reception desk. Now we've actually since decided, we're
just going to put like a little waiting bench here. And I'm not sure about these light fixtures.
I think, Hey Tyler, can, can you see, like, are you watching the stream muted? Like, can
you see what I'm looking at? Yes. All right. Yes. Were these lights, were these lights
just a figment of your imagination or are these based on something? Oh, that's, that's
based on your wife's sister. Oh, that is. Oh, are we actually putting those in? I that's
what I was told. She sent me some pictures of make lights look like this. So, and the,
that reception desk that you see there too is based on an image as well that I got. So
I just modeled that in there. All right, cool. So here's the, here's the concept for the
sign that those of you who have seen or attended a tour of the HQ have probably seen it's finished
in like a glossy gray. Now it looks really, really sharp. So here's, this is a door that
we didn't want to put in. This was a door that we had to do for like fire code purposes.
Something to do with flames from the downstairs, getting to the upstairs and making it so that
people upstairs would die or something. So I had really wanted it to be open when you
walk in. So you could go, you could go right into the kitchen. This is, this is the final
kitchen design. This is what it's been for the longest time. Uh, there's a better look
at what the reception area could look like someday if someone ever puts a reception desk
in there. Um, yeah, this, Oh, this feels like so concept already. So this is, this is the
library in render. This is what, Oh, this is really cool. So this is an earlier render
of the editing den when the intention was still to put whole room water cooling into
the new office. So you can see that Tyler has actually modeled in the copper piping
for whole room here. How long did that take? I'm sorry we didn't end up putting that in
man. Oh no. Um, if you, if you go to the very, very last image, it should have your, the
when show vinyl on there, the Linus tech tips vinyl, and it's got the copper colored and
everything. Really? Yeah. That was photoshopped. The actual piping was a bit of a challenge,
but putting everything else in didn't take too long. So these are, there's some things
in here that you guys are seeing that are not actually done yet. So, uh, these partitions,
for example, I believe we have sourced, but not ordered. We're still not a hundred percent
sure about putting them between people, but I, you know, I think it might be nice to have
the blinders on once in a while. Uh, these cubicles, if we put them in, I really wasn't
sure how tidy those would end up looking. And we might do like a floor, floor, standing
rolling drawer things that people can tuck under their desks now. But these cubicles
were definitely something that we were planning to do just cause they kind of looked cool.
Uh, vinyl wall decals may or may not go on at some point, but um, yeah, you guys are
seeing what it may end up looking like in the future as opposed to what we've actually
got implemented so far. Uh, this is a look at what we had planned for storage in here.
It ended up not quite working out that way because the racks that we got for cheap on
Craigslist are a bit wider than the concept racks. So we actually have them, three of
them kind of staggered. And then here's more of these cube ideas that we, we may actually
still still roll out. Uh, that's a no furniture render of the library. Let's see, let's see
what else we got here. One of the kind of cool stuff. I guess there's, did you ever
do renders of the upstairs or were you at that point, uh, had you gotten to the point
where you were just going to collapse if you tried to do any more work on this project?
Oh no, no, no, no, no. I had intended on doing the upstairs, but I kind of got tied up with
other things, but I remember Yvonne and, um, Esther were so wrapped up in the things that
were going on. Cause that was the time we were trying to get a permit and the, and they
both said, we don't care right now. We're just trying to get a permit. So I was like,
okay, well let's hold it off for right now. And you guys just let me, uh, let me know
if you want them or not. Cause you already had the design. You already know, knew what
you wanted it to look like. And the renderings that I did earlier were, were really just
for getting, cause we had gone through so many variations of carpet and tile and wall
color and all sorts of things. All of these, all of these little details that I've, that
I've, I've tried not, I've tried to avoid to the best of my ability because I mean the
thing about this project is throughout the whole thing I have to keep making videos.
So Yvonne would corner me like after you guys have been exchanging emails in the middle
of the night and be like, okay, I need you to make decisions about this stuff. Please
make decisions about stuff. I'm like, okay, okay, okay. I'll look at it. But, but I mean
the, the vast majority of the work was done by Tyler, Yvonne, Esther and our, and our
contracting company that, uh, I think this is, this is kind of funny. I don't think I
like, I think they did not ever intend for me to hear this, but I heard one of the workers
talking to one of the other workers about one of the higher ups at our contracting company
referring to this job as the job from hell where literally everything has gone wrong.
And it really has felt like that at times. I know that, you know, as much as you know,
it's upsetting and frustrating for me that this has taken a long time. I mean, it's not
like they're getting paid until it's done. So it's just sitting there on their desks
taking up time while, you know, we wait for permits and do this and do that. So it was
a real struggle for, for everyone. So Tyler, then now that this is done, uh, you know,
what do you, what do you think are, are we going to get going on our, our next project
together that, that Yvonne does tell me you have agreed to help with? Yes, we could do
that whenever you want. All right. Did you want to share with, I haven't told the audience
about this. They have no idea this is coming. I don't even know, would this, would this
even be a good like Linus tech tips vlog series or something? Do you want to, do you want
to do the big reveal for what the next big, the next big, uh, Tyler Linus collaboration
is going to be? Sure. No problem. Um, I don't know a whole, whole lot about it at this point
as far as the details and things, but okay, great. We'll talk about that. Um, they have
asked me to help them design a cat enclosure for the number one cats in Canada. So if,
if, if creating an office slash studio space for a YouTube company, wasn't kind of out
there enough for you, this should pretty much, this should pretty much take the cake, right?
This one goes on the resume book for sure. Excellent. Well, I got to move on and do some
tech topics, but, um, you know, I just want to say once and for all in front of all 6,700
people that stuck with us through the technical details and our difficulties, excuse me, and
are somehow watching the show still. Thank you guys, by the way. Thank you very much.
Um, we love, we absolutely love our new space. I mean, even ed who was kind of indifferent
throughout the time we were moving in, he was kind of like, yeah, so, you know, it's
a place to work, which is like great that it'll be a better place to work. But like,
you know, he was telling Yvonne, he had, he didn't know that it was going to make this
big of a difference. Um, it is just, it's great. It feels like it was designed for us,
built for us and is just, it's perfect for us. It's right for us. Um, and it's just,
it's just fantastic. We were not moved in yet, but even not moved in here, I feel like
so many things are smoother than being fully moved in at the old place because the space
is just so much better. So thank you very much for all your hard work and, uh, all those,
all those sleepless sleepless nights that you spent on this. Thank you. You're welcome.
It was a pleasure. All right. So I will, I'll talk to you soon about the cat enclosure project
and for now, bye bye. And I'll see you later. See you guys. All right. And, and he's gone.
All right. So, uh, let's get, uh, let's get on with sort of the tech news for this week.
Again, to you guys for actually staying tuned into the show because this has been quite
the, uh, the, uh, the cluster cluster, you know, rub against each other thing that we've
got going on here. So, um, you know what, I hate to do this to you guys, but I think
we should probably jump in and do sponsors and then I'll do the rest of the show. The
show is supposed to be over 15 minutes ago, so I got to get, got to get these out of the
way. Not that it's about getting it out of the way because when we have great sponsors
like Dollar Shave Club that help keep you guys looking cleanly shaven, you know, like
me at the beginning of the day before I have that five o'clock shadow that hopefully you
guys can't see from there cause I'm doing a sponsor spot for a shaving company. Uh,
so Dollar Shave Club, the way to get high quality shaving and bathroom supplies delivered
directly to your door. They take care of the two most important parts of your body, your
face with their affordable high quality razors and their Dr. Carver's shave butter and their
aftershave products and your butthole with their One Wipe Charlies peppermint scented
butt wipes for men because if you've got a clean face and a clean butthole, you are ready
for anything. Visit DollarShaveClub.com slash Linus to join the club today. It's available
in the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. That is the four most important countries
that aren't the rest of the world other than those four. See, I have not offended anyone,
I hope. Next up, we've got, really? Really? Are you freaking kidding me? This is what
happens when like the whole show completely breaks multiple times and uh, oh, I see what
happened. My login credentials for, oh, oh, oh, now I know what happened. Okay, uh, hey
guys, can someone help me? Um, I need help with a thing. Give me a second. I need the
USB drive to do another thing. Is this Dennis' USB drive? Look at this, look at this crap.
This guy has got all of his like, this guy's got all his stupid, uh, like Chinese crap
in here. See, now you guys, um, look at, look at this. That must be, that must be Dennis'
I can't even, I can't even read anything on your USB drive, Dennis. Oh, he's gone. All
right. Well, he can't even hear me. He can't even hear me re-rippling on him. Okay. So
uh, oh, this is okay. No, no, I do need you guys because I need one of the other ones.
So oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, see, it's just endless today. All right, there you go. Uh, sponsor
number two, Intel game on tweet a selfie with hashtag Intel game on. And I think there are
more instructions. So let's go ahead and search for that. Right. Yeah. Control F game is going
to help me find anything in the WAN doc. All right. So it's now through August 31st, you
need to print out and wear the official Intel game on button and tweet a selfie with hashtag
Intel game on for a chance to win one of three core i7 processors. It's open to residents
of the continental U S and they're also running a hashtag Intel prime PC giveaway. That's
now through September 4th. Take a picture of your current PC build and tweet that picture
with hashtag Intel prime PC. Mention what you would do if you want an Intel powered
upgrade and there's a chance to win one of three Intel core i7s or one of three Intel
SSDs open to residents of continental U S and Canada for that one. So check out our
forum thread on the Linus tech tips forum for all the Intel packs prime activities and
deals. So I'm going to go ahead and do a news topic while I get the tunnel bear lower third
thrown onto that USB drive because due to a complicated networking setup, I am not able
to access any of the servers right now. I love this show, baby. All right. Why don't
we do some actual news for a change on the WAN show? So YouTube gaming, let's go ahead
and pull up the a wired.com article here. Blippity bloppity news item. I hope. Wow.
Thank you. Look at that. Watch out Twitch. YouTube gaming just went live. That actually
happened surprisingly quickly. Either my life is going by faster or it really was just like,
Oh, maybe we, maybe it was like a month plus ago that, uh, that YouTube was giving a sneak
peek of what YouTube gaming, their direct response to Twitch TV was going to look like
because the reality of it is YouTube has a lot of gameplay guys on there, but it's a
very, very different medium live broadcast versus archive broadcast. And so, sorry, emergency
files. Thank you. So YouTube has pretty much captured the, the edited gameplay content
and Twitch has captured the live gameplay content. So Twitch has actually moved away
from VOD content over the last couple of years. So they, they went ahead and they started
turning off by default archived videos for longer than I think it's what, two weeks or
something along those lines. So it's a short period of time. And for partners, I believe
it's mandatory that your videos will be deleted. They're a live broadcast platform period.
And then YouTube has mostly ignored live broadcast with hangouts on air being sort of, well,
from my experience with it, just, I think I tried to use it today. There you go. That's
pretty much all I have to say about that. Oh, no, I'll just have to deal with it later
cause I'm doing a news topic right now. Ed wants to get back to work or something. He
doesn't want to just hang around and find out if this USB drive is going to work for
me. So basically what it is, is it is a, it's like, it's, it's, it's actually kind of a,
a separated user experience now. So let's, let's go ahead and actually bring it up. YouTube
gaming, gaming.youtube.com. If you guys want to check it out on your own and in a nutshell,
it's an attempt to take the, the, it's an attempt to, well, basically to take what other
game streaming platforms are doing well and implement as many of those elements as they
can in a place where gaming content is not going to get lost in the mix of other things.
Like, you know, for example, if you search for, you know, halo on YouTube, maybe halo's
not a great example because halo should bring up a lot of gaming content. But if you search
for halo, you might find a video that's like costume design ideas for Halloween, how to
build your own angel halo. And gaming.youtube.com is attempting to completely eliminate that
kind of crap. The live videos run via Google's HTML5 backend, so Twitch is still running
on Flash, so they've definitely tried to amp things up in terms of the technology. Although
they haven't worked out all of the details necessarily yet, so Jack Fregs, his stream
of Gears of War Ultimate, his monetization was rejected due to copyright infringement,
so they still have a lot of work to do on the backend of things, whether it's, you know,
working with large tournaments to actually post that content on gaming.youtube.com, something
that Twitch pretty much owns right now, and, yes Ed? Oh, okay, bye! Thank you. And so,
and then they've also, this is the most, the most disrupted wan show of all time. So anyway,
it took about five hours for, and all right, and they've got to figure out with the gaming,
the game makers, how they can avoid the kinds of takedown issues that Twitch has suffered
from in the past, whether it's gameplay footage, gameplay soundtracks, whether it's just music
that streamers are listening to in the background, with that whole, you know, not very well handled
at first, but hey, it's getting better, audio muting things, so they've got, they've got
a long way to go, but hey, it's good to have other players, and I'll be very interested
to see how, remember Twitch is now owned by Amazon, who definitely wants a piece of that
online video content pie, I will definitely be interested to see how Amazon slash Twitch
reacts to, reacts to this play from YouTube. So let's go ahead and do our last sponsored
spot here, hopefully tunnel doesn't bring up too many things in my dock here, it really
doesn't help that my computer is not running particularly well because it's better, it's
a little bit better now, but it was like really brutal when I was trying to broadcast video
to Tyler for our video chat, broadcast video to you guys, accept video input from Tyler,
and yeah, even now, I'll show you guys this, check this out, add screen capture, wow, what
I just did didn't work at all, well whatever, task manager is hitting like 100% peaks from
time to time, so tunnelbear.com slash LTT, it's the easy to use privacy app for mobile
and desktop, it works on iOS, Android, Mac, PC, Chrome, you can tunnel through 14 different
countries allowing you to browse the internet as though you're in that country, so it's
a VPN service essentially, it secures your internet when you're on public Wi-Fi, this
is actually great when you're travelling, if you're at a conference, if you're working
from you know, a cafe like a Starbucks or whatever also, especially you know, like not
a, like a trusted you know, public Wi-Fi hotspot, definitely a good idea, and allows you to
access geo-blocked websites, so a perfect example of use for this, back when Google
Glass first launched, and you couldn't order it from outside the United States, I was able
to use a VPN service in order to pretend I was in the States, and well, in that case
it didn't actually end up being the total solution that I needed because I also had
to produce a US based credit card from a US based account, but you know, it's a whole
other thing, I was able to access the site, so it's good for that kind of stuff, and they
have friendly support bears that are standing by 24 hours a day in case you have any trouble,
they've got 5 million users and you get to try it out for free, TunnelBear gives you
500 megabytes of data for free every month, and an extra gig if you tweet at them, so
if you need more data, prices for unlimited plans start at $6.99 a month, pretty darn
reasonable, download it today and start browsing privately at tunnelbear.com slash LTT, alright
what else do we have on the, what else do we have on the docket for today, MIT researchers
have built a file system that doesn't lose data to a crash, and by the way our last news
article was, oh, it looks like our original posters on the Linus Tech Tips forum are actually
missing today, so this one was posted by Ekpirasis, that is a word with which I am not familiar,
and the original article here is from MIT.edu, which makes sense since it's going to be,
you know, from, wait, gosh darn it, there we go, crash tolerant data storage, so there's
actually a lot of different ways to lose data, so when you back up or you store your data,
I'm not going to say backup, backup has a very specific meaning, when you store your
data on a drive, you write it there, and then if all goes according to plan, then it should
stay there forever, not actually a thing, so aside from the drive dying physically,
file systems themselves, thanks to being created back at a time when we didn't even necessarily
need these safeguards, sometimes, and NTFS is guilty of this, sometimes don't have the
safeguards built in to prevent just random degradation of the data over time, also known
as bit rot, and here's the thing, writing data to a drive, if the system crashes while
the data is in flight, then that can often result in data loss as well, so this doesn't
do anything for bit rot necessarily, oh wow, there's still a, what the crap, there we go,
so this doesn't necessarily do anything for bit rot, I'm actually not 100% sure if it
does address that, do do do, okay, yep, nope, so you need to use error checking and correction
for that kind of thing, so it doesn't address bit rot, but what it does do is it makes it
so that you won't need, you know, an expensive battery backup for your storage controller,
and a battery backup on the PC outright to even have a chance of not losing data while
it's in flight, while it's sitting in cache, no, this allows you to, no matter what, when
you're writing data, not lose, like not lose it while the system crashes, so very very
cool stuff, I mean the thing about file systems is that it could take a decade to reach mainstream
acceptance, and mainstream acceptance, I mean, what does that even mean, you know, something
like this is not even necessarily going to be at all suitable, like maybe five revisions
down the road, it's not going to be suitable for mainstream use like as the file system
you're using on your boot drive at all, because file systems can be optimized for a lot of
different things, ZFS for example, not great for a boot drive, great for a long term archival
storage, that's what we're using because it does protect against bit rot for example,
so there you go, your data is safer, and who knows, you know, when that'll happen, yeah,
all testing's been positive so far, but it should be noted that this hasn't been looked
at outside of MIT, our next article was posted by, and I'm just waiting for the page to load
here, blippity bloppity, arty, and the original article here is from theverge.com, and Google
is developing a GPS system that could help you avoid potholes, no not potheads, potholes,
holy actual crap, they're going to be, you know, doing something legitimately useful
with, oh, is that a game on badge, do I need that for something, this is what the official
game on badge looks like by the way, I talked about that on the Intel thing, so basically
Google has filed a patent, which doesn't necessarily mean it's getting productized anytime soon,
for a way to track potholes across the United States using your car's GPS navigation system
and other sensors to detect damaged portions of road, so they'll put that information into
a database, then use it to help you find a less bumpy route, so if you're worried about
the suspension on your lowered vehicle, this technology could be for you, although there's
a number of other reasons why you might, you know, want that, say for example, right, you
know, taking the baby out for a drive to help her fall asleep, something that, you know,
the dads out there will probably be able to relate to, it could be nice to have a smoother
way to go ahead and drive down the road, so basically Google will be monitoring the vibrations
your car is subjected to when you rumble over a pothole, and then cross-referencing that
with GPS data, something that's, you know, pretty standard these days, so by doing this
many different times, in many different cars, Google would actually be able to pinpoint
where the potholes are, and this is not necessarily even just a technology for like, manually
driven cars, in fact, I see the usefulness there pretty, being pretty limited, but this
is the kind of thing that could be really useful for a self-driven car, I mean imagine
that, if self-driven cars, without even having to rely on camera sensors, could know where
obstacles or bumps on the road are, and automatically avoid them, leaving the camera work to the
unexpected obstacles, like a 2x4 that falls off the back of the truck in front of you.
Very cool looking technology, and I don't think I ever, oh yeah, I did manage to bring
that up, I am definitely, definitely not at my best today, I have like a splitting headache
from trying to troubleshoot this thing, to which you might reply, well G-Linus, maybe
you should set up the show ahead of time, you know what, I filmed four videos today,
my job isn't always like, you know, just sitting around and eating butts, oh yeah, teasing
an upcoming Channel SuperFun, let me tell you guys, it is gonna be freaking awesome,
it involves pinball, which you can't go wrong with, and it involves eating bugs, yeah, bugs,
eating bugs, bugs get eaten in the video by people, so stay tuned for that, if you have
not already subscribed to Channel SuperFun, I am quite certain that you're going to want
to, you're going to want to get on that puppy, alright, what else, what do we got next, oh
there's a public beta now of Cortana for Android, this was originally posted by, we'll go ahead
and wait for the thread to load, because the formatting of the, of this dock is a little
bit different this week, we had Colton do it, we had the new guy, we had the new guy
do the formatting of the dock today, so, you know, things are a little broken, he can't
hear me, everyone else has gone home for the day, because it's 6.30, which is 35 minutes
after when we are normally streaming the show, so this was posted by Yami Yuki Senpai, Senpai,
Senpai, I don't know, my Japanese isn't that great, and Microsoft Cortana for Android is
ready to take on Google Now, question mark, I guess it depends on who you ask, so it's
not currently compatible with Android tablets, it's US only at this time, but it does support
some of the basic functionality that you would expect out of something like Google Now, you
can set tasks, set reminders, you can make calls, it browses the internet, it is more
basic compared to Google Now, which has had a long time to get deeply integrated with
Android, but promises to grow in features in the future, I mean, here's something, here's
like kind of a crazy thing, I'd love to see, like right now, Google has kept Google Now
for their own Android Wear smartwatches and wearables, I would love to see Cortana take
a more, well, a more open approach, which I mean, it's not something Microsoft's really
been known for in the past, but I'd love to see Cortana take a more open approach and
go, okay, you know, hey, we don't have a wearable platform yet anyway, let's go ahead and enable
Cortana on Pebble Time, for example, because that was one of the big things that I missed
about the G Watch R when I was using the Pebble Time, there's certain things I loved about
it, you know, I love the multi-day battery life, I've forgotten to charge my G Watch
R a couple of times in the last couple of weeks and it's kind of a pain in the butt,
when you get used to having a watch, you really do rely on it and having the ability to just
be like, you know, hey, Pebble Time or whatever, however they integrated, hey, Cortana on my
wrist and having my third party watch be able to enable that kind of functionality for me
would be great, because I really did miss Google Now when I was using the Pebble Time,
it already has some voice functionality that works quite well, things like replying to
text messages, but it could use more and that would really be a huge deal for Android and
Pebble Time for me, what else, so yeah, if you guys want to try it, then check it out
at, let me see if I can find the site right now real quick here, blog entry by Microsoft,
so it's on the blogs.windows.com site, I'll go ahead and post that in the Twitch chat,
I realize I've been totally forgetting to do that throughout the show today guys, again,
I'm sorry, I am a little flustered today, that is definitely, definitely a thing, Fable
Legends, they keep on doing this, I wish I was wearing my keep on digging shirt today,
because this is like, I don't know, on the one hand I kind of go, this is like the biggest
piece of news for me this week, and on the other hand I go, Microsoft screwing up gaming
on the PC, is this even news, should I even be covering this, Fable Legends PC will be
exclusive to Windows 10, exclusive to the Windows 10 store, so until recently, blah
blah blah, no direct mention of how Fable Legends would be released on PC, other than
that it was Windows 10 exclusive, now we know a little bit more about what that means, and
this is really funny, because Microsoft came out and was like, yeah, you know, Steam and
like PC gaming and like how great that is, now we know, okay, it's exclusive to Windows
10, for no apparent reason, what, DirectX 12, it would have been really hard to turn
down some graphical details and have it work with DirectX 11, blah, so we already knew
that, but what we didn't know is that you will not be able to buy it on Steam, we are
getting games for Windows Live, but like, worse, and now Windows 10 exclusivity and
yeah, blah, I just, I just don't even, I just, I just, I just don't even, so now we've got,
remember when Steam was, remember, okay, I don't know if you guys ever had this moment,
but I pirated a lot of video games, tons of video games, the vast majority of my video
game library either came with the purchase of hardware, because I spent all my money
on hardware and then kept the free games and flipped the hardware and was like always upgrading,
so either came with hardware or was pirated when I was in high school, that was just how
it was, sorry game developers of that time, Steam changed everything for me, having a
one stop shop with no additional DRM, with no CD keys to keep track of and enter in things,
and being able to drag and drop, install my games just by backing them up on, at the time
I guess it would have been backing them up on DVDs, and then being able to just drag
and drop the files off a DVD instead of going through an installer with a bunch of stupid
CDs for no apparent reason and like a bunch of, you know, game serials, it was like, oh,
what a breath of fresh air Steam was, Steam turned me legit.
And now it's like the game developers in their desire to not give Valve a cut, which I understand,
are just killing it, they're killing what was great about it, what converted me and
I think a lot of people into paying customers, they're killing it, the entire ecosystem is
so fragmented now, Steam, Origin, Uplay, good old games, which is now, I don't know, I think
a CD Projekt Red renamed it or something, I can't even remember what they're, might
still be good, I don't care.
And now we're going to have to shop for AAA titles like proper PC games, although you
could make the argument that Fable hasn't been good in a long time, proper PC games,
we're going to have to shop for them in the Windows Store, I mean, is this, it's funny,
is this Microsoft cluing in that, you know, gamers and gaming have driven a huge part
of the Windows success outside of corporate?
Is that, are we getting a nod at least for that?
Like hey, so the Windows Store is a total ghost town, right, exclusive games, gamers,
gamers will, they'll go anywhere, they'll even go to, they'll even go to Origin and
Uplay to get their content, I mean the kinds of problems we have had with Origin and Uplay
around here, let me tell you, if people are willing to use those turds then, I mean, who
knows, maybe this will all just be no big deal, and it being Windows Store exclusive,
everyone will just completely accept that, so Microsoft rep says they are not trying
to compete with Steam, whatever that means, yeah, what else we got today, wow, more bad
news for Popcorn Time, this was posted by, and I'll have that for you in a second, this
was posted by Artie on the forum, and this is some seriously bad news for Popcorn Time
users, 75,000 Popcorn Time users will be getting a surprise in the mail this fall, after the
Rights Alliance claimed it has gathered data on 51,000 to 75,000 users of the site, okay,
so the Rights Alliance is legally allowed to monitor people it suspects to be pirating,
however, monitoring IP addresses is one thing, it would need to go through the courts to
be allowed to collaborate with ISPs to obtain the names and addresses behind them, so it's
not exactly 100% clear what they're gonna do with it, but, that being said, it has made
progress in the last month despite the obstacles making arrests in Denmark after two men were
found to be explaining how to use Popcorn Time on their sites, so, alright, email addresses,
but not necessarily the real names of people, and we'll see how that whole thing is going
to go. Tesla drivers set a new record, so this was two Norwegian guys, the original
article here is from Fortune.com, and this was posted on the forum by, I will get that
for you in a moment, but first let's pop up the article here, so they set a new record,
I don't know if you guys have heard of hypermiling before, but basically it's the, I don't know,
I guess hobby, of taking cars and trying to achieve never before seen mileage ratings,
well it's not a rating, because the rating's the rating, but never before seen mileage
out of these vehicles, so these guys set a new record, they drove a Model S for 452 miles,
so that time's about 1.3, so what is that in kilometers, like 6 or 700 and something
along those lines for our metric viewers out there? Absolutely fantastic, I mean, electric
cars are developing in multiple ways, both the creative ways that people are using them,
now to be clear, they weren't driving it in a particularly practical way, so they drove
at a speed of 24.2 miles per hour in order to achieve that range, but the technology's
advancing and the way that people are using them seems to be advancing, it took them a
total time of 18 hours and 40 minutes to run out of battery life, so with that said, it's
not like, okay, remember the speed, it's not like they actually went that far, but still
very very cool, I mean they did go that far, but they didn't drive for 18 hours at 100
kilometers an hour or whatever, they're driving like 35 kilometers an hour, so not necessarily
that practical.
Toshiba figures, this is some pretty cool stuff, Toshiba figures that 128 terabyte SSDs
will hit the market in 2018, now to be clear, that doesn't mean that you will be buying
and using a 128 bit SSD, or excuse me, a 128 terabyte SSD in the year 2018, but that does
mean that they believe that those capacities will become commercially available three years
from now, if I am the hard drive guys, this kind of stuff is absolutely terrifying, now
to be clear, they're not achieving this, you know, merely through Moore's law and you know,
better manufacturing processes, smaller manufacturing processes, they are going to need some additional
chips, they're going to need some additional tricks, so they're going to be doing quad
level cells, QLC, so that is storing more bits per cell and 3D NAND flash which has
already hit production and has already demonstrated that it will be able to scale in terms of
capacity without necessarily seeing that huge increase in area that is taken up by more
traditional non 3D NAND designs, so 2D NAND designs, you can go ahead and check this out,
so they've actually got a pretty cool little like scary to hard drive makers graph here,
now this is interesting, so when I talk about not being cost effective, look, 16 terabytes,
they have that in 2015, can you afford a 16 terabyte SSD, I personally cannot, so you
know, they're comparing that to 10 terabyte hard drives, also not affordable, so we're
talking about potentially, you know, enterprise grade hardware, like archival storage SSDs
or some crap like that, but they're basically saying look, hard drive capacities, you know,
might reach, you know, somewhere in the 20 to 40 terabyte range, we can do several times
that, absolutely awesome, this is great, also has another really great point at the bottom
of the, at the bottom of the article here, and while it may be possible to create a 128
terabyte solid state drive, you won't actually be able to build a lot of them either, because
manufacturing capacities like how many chips we can even make worldwide will be constrained,
so they'll be sold only to select customers, and will hardly reach the mass market three
years from now, very good point as well, so I think that pretty much wraps up the show
today, thank you guys very much for tuning in, I'm gonna go ahead and roll that intro
in a minute here, I really do apologize for the technical difficulties, today was a very
challenging day, and I appreciate you guys bearing with me here, in case you're wondering
where Luke was, I realize now I never even addressed that, he is down at Pax Prime, I'm
actually gonna be down there tomorrow, hanging out at the Intel booth, and shooting some
other stuff as well, so I will hopefully see some of you there, and definitely do go say
hi to Luke and Brandon if you see them on the show floor, Nick's there too, and I'll
be bringing Taren down with me, but I think he's gonna be cloistered in like a, in a hotel
room somewhere, editing videos, so I don't know if you'll necessarily run into him, see
you guys next week, same bat time, same bat channel.
Bye.
I'll see you guys in the next one.
