All right, he is nice, he's welcome to show.
Hey, nice shirt, I like that shirt.
I actually don't know what mine is.
It's actually like one of my favorite shirts that we have.
I like that one.
It's just wonderful.
Out of ideas.
And I feel like this is one of our shirts
that you could just wear randomly
and people might get like a sensible chuckle out of it,
even if they don't know what the point is.
Exactly.
And that is what Linus Tech Tips is all about,
getting a little chuckle out of it
even if you have no idea what the point was.
Welcome to the WAN Show.
We got a great show for you guys today.
Actually, I'm really not that sold on today
being a great show.
No, but sometimes those are the best shows.
Sure.
So there's like electric vehicle news,
which usually like ratings are just like,
yeah, when we talk about that.
But we'll talk about it anyway.
Samsung, more Note 7 news.
Wow, and then that's it for main topics.
Then we go to rapid fire,
which is where we put topics that we're very unsure of.
Logitech has a new remote
for giving the best PowerPoint presentations ever.
Oh, God.
And in other news, surprise, surprise,
Time Warner cheated customers on internet speed.
Noctua is releasing CPU coolers.
For pricing.
Which like is good, but like, nah.
That was it.
That was the show today.
Thank you everybody.
And we will see you again next week.
Same bat time, same bat channel.
Oh, oh, oh, sure.
And I don't think there's any sound in the intro
because I actually did get Ed to fix it
before the show today,
but I just sat down and I did not.
I did not do the thing.
To be fair, you were recording a very cool video.
Yes, I was on a Friday afternoon
when I'm supposed to be preparing for WAN show,
but you know, glass houses and stones and not throwing them
because you were also recording a very cool video.
Yeah, yeah.
I wasn't trashing on you.
I wasn't trashing on you at all.
No, no, not at all.
I mean, this is not a trash relationship.
No, it's a seat relationship.
That's a reference that no one will get
unless they were in this office,
in this section of the office before the WAN show in live.
Y'all, that was a very inappropriate comment that you made.
What?
Very inappropriate comment, totally inappropriate.
The worst, the worst comment.
My friends called me.
They were like, it's the worst comment I've ever heard.
The worst comment I've ever heard.
All right, I'm just firing up Twitch.
So you know what?
Since this news is terrible,
I am going to create my own news.
Oh, wicked.
You are going to stall for me for like two minutes
while I go grab the most amazing news ever.
Okay.
So I'll be right back.
Yeah, I guess I'll like lightly talk about a topic
cause I'm not entirely sure what's going on even.
Electric cars and cheap solar
could halt fossil fuel growth by 2020.
Cool, honestly, there's not a ton else to say about that.
I have no idea where Linus went.
It says by 2035, electric vehicles could make up 35%
of the road transport market, over 66% by 2050.
This is a report on the Guardian.
I don't think I can even show you this right now.
Let me see.
Here we go.
Okay.
Oh dear, what is this?
Okay, no, we're going to switch back.
Okay.
Is this all you're going to show
or are you going to take it out?
Okay.
Okay.
You got to hold it.
I'm just going to put it over here.
Yeah.
Okay.
You got to focus now.
That's fine.
Okay, so.
Are we going to open it?
Behind me, no, no, no, not going to open it.
I'm saving it.
I'm saving this moment.
So what does that look?
I just, you're going to show them a brown box.
Yes.
Okay.
It doesn't even have, look at this.
It doesn't even have a shipping label on it.
No shipping label.
So it's hand delivered.
Unmarked package.
This is for something.
Okay, first of all, these three boxes,
cause this is one of three.
Okay.
Will be the most expensive unboxing I have ever done.
What does this happen?
Like every month?
The most expensive unboxing I have ever done.
Okay.
Okay, for now,
because there's something more expensive coming.
See?
Next month, next month, next month.
Okay.
These are from Seagate.
Oh, I know what this is.
Okay.
And this is the official announcement.
So next weekend, I'm actually going to be here.
I'm going to be here at the office
for both days on the weekend.
I'm going to be working on a couple of things.
So next weekend,
I'm going to be doing an updated look at our server room.
The last time you guys saw our server room.
Well, okay.
The most recent time you guys saw our server room,
I was breaking into it by taking the air vent off the door,
which by the way is not,
would not be a successful way
to break into our server room.
Okay.
So, you know, I hate to bust your bubble,
but not everything you see on TV is the truth.
Okay.
Anyway, I'm doing a server room update
where we're going to clean it up
because everything in there has been running
for almost two years now, some of it.
We're going to cable manage it.
Something that I really should have done
a very, very long time ago.
It's really bad.
It's like abominable.
Like you, you have to, you have to kind of step,
you have to kind of step gingerly
when you're around the back of the cabinet,
because if you step on the button of a power bar
or a power squid,
you could potentially knock out a bunch of servers.
So that's terrible.
I'm going to be doing some server consolidation with VMs.
So like our surveillance server is going to be combined
with a nightly backup server
for all the machines in the office
and combined with, I've told you about this before.
So I'm going to set up like,
might be some combination, but crash plan, own cloud,
some kind of just like free cloud backup solution
for everyone who works here.
So, so that's going to be one box.
I'm moving the network switches to the back.
I don't know why I didn't put the network switches
in the back in the first place.
So I'm going to put those in the back.
So that's going to help with cable management.
We're changing our wifi to the new wave to AC ubiquity gear.
So our wifi is going to be much faster.
That's good.
We're putting acoustic dampening material.
We're lining the entire inside of the room
with $3,000 worth of acoustic dampening stuff.
What?
So I got in touch with the guys who actually,
these guys are, they're pretty cool.
So this was, I talked to Mike from silent PC review
back when we moved in here.
So this was the stuff that he recommended
that we covered the entire inside of the warehouse.
And basically we eventually concluded
that it was cost prohibitive.
There was no like standardized way to mount it.
Like we wouldn't even be able to find a contractor
who was going to put like in wall insulation in our rafters
because it would block the sprinklers.
Like there were a ton of problems, but we didn't do it.
But it's this cotton fiber shredded insulation
that has wonderful heat thermal characteristics,
as well as not emitting any odors or chemicals,
which we definitely experienced
with this cellulose spray on stuff in here,
but it's gone now.
And then the other thing that's great about it
is that it's acoustic properties are unreal.
Like just outstanding, both in terms of,
and there's two different ways
that you can measure the like the acoustic canceling
and blocking properties of a material.
There's the echo reduction.
So there's like the scattering.
And then there's also the stopping,
like the blocking from transmission.
And this is excellent for both.
So we're gonna line the entire inside of the room
and we're gonna set up dust filtration
on the backup intake and exhaust of the room
so that, well, just the intake actually.
So that in the event that the air conditioning system,
which has been added since the last update,
like it's been overhauled.
So the air conditioning system,
in the event that that fails,
it won't completely suffocate in there
and I'll have some time to go and deal with it.
Okay, the last thing that I'm doing
is I'm making room for a project
that has been in the works with Seagate
and 45 drives for months now.
Yeah, for quite a while.
And it has been in preparation
for us to move to shooting 8K.
So some of you probably noticed,
I'll just go grab it.
Especially on float plane.
Yeah.
It looks better there.
So some of you may have noticed,
especially those of you who have watched
the desk PC finale,
where we do a bunch of glam footage, shot on red.
We've actually got an epic W with the helium sensor now.
So we are shooting our videos
at somewhere between six and 8K,
depending on how Brandon wants to utilize
the different sensor crops and all that stuff.
Okay, so that's a big storage problem.
And I'm a pack rat, digital pack rat, physical pack rat.
I'm a pack rat.
The first step is admitting you have a problem.
The second step is completely ignoring it.
I was just gonna say.
And getting more storage.
So I'm trying to figure out how to archive this stuff
at some kind of reasonable approximation
of the original quality.
That's where this comes in.
We have officially outgrown Unraid for the vault.
I'm actually gonna be using Unraid
for that multipurpose machine
with the Windows VMs for surveillance
and the crash plan thing and all that stuff.
So that is actually gonna be like 100 terabyte plus machine.
So there'll be a lot of storage on there for everyone here,
which is gonna be super cool.
But anyway, we have outgrown that for the vault.
And this box behind me is for something
that I'm calling my pet project.
And pet is short for, as some of you are probably guessing
in Twitch chat right now, petabyte.
Yes, my friends, the goal is to have
a single addressable volume network share, okay?
With a petabyte of total space.
So we're gonna take all 170 or so,
180 or so terabytes that are on the current vault.
We're gonna migrate them over to this.
The whole thing's gonna be using a combination
of probably CentOS with ZFS
and then GlusterFS running over top of it
so that we can actually,
because how do you put a petabyte worth of drives
in one box?
You don't.
So we're gonna have two 60 drive storinators.
You're right, it is coming soon.
Two 60 drive storinators
that are gonna be running as a cluster.
And then possibly a solid state cache in front of it.
What are you using for that?
What OS?
We're using CentOS with ZFS
and then we're using GlusterFS over top of it.
So it's come full circle.
The forum used to be CentOS.
There you go.
This is,
that and the other two boxes
is 110 terabyte Seagate Enterprise capacity drives.
A hundred of them.
And then in order to achieve
the addressable one petabyte space,
I'm gonna borrow some of the six and eight terabytes
that they sent me before
and I'm gonna create a couple more Gluster bricks
so we can show that big number.
Is there an estimated value?
Yeah, I believe it's about 60 grand worth of drives.
This is why like sometimes I have a hard time
coming up with video ideas
and I think it's because like my brain never goes
to that space where it's like, yeah, I'll just, you know,
80 grand.
Yeah.
My personal rig which is coming soon
because it's done now, I spent like $160
on Amethyst crystals and I felt like super bad.
I was like, that's a lot of money for a mod.
Ah, there's cases that are cheaper than this.
A lot of them, a lot of really good cases.
Literally the case that I'm using is cheaper than this.
Anyways, I guess I can talk about
my now underwhelming project of my personal rig.
Well, it's not underwhelming.
It looks compared to a petabyte server.
Well, you know, okay.
We don't wanna fall into the seven gamers
one CPU trap again, okay.
Technically it's two servers.
Yeah.
Okay?
Okay, look, we're not gonna do that anymore.
I should totally call it one petabyte, one server.
You should.
I should totally do it.
I should have them silk screen on the front of the machines.
One petabyte, one server on both of them.
By calling it a drive because it looks like a drive
when you access it, one, one petabyte drive.
It's a network drive.
So I'm gonna open up the HDD.
Yeah.
Oh man.
Anyways, personal rig.
Snap PCs one's already got it.
Crystal healing PC.
Oh, I didn't push that that much in the video.
Before the video, John and I spent like weeks
talking about how the amethyst crystals
were like going to heal us and bring more positive energy
into the benchmarking environment.
And then we, yeah, I decided not to push that
way too much in the video
just cause I thought it would get boring.
And there were so many crazy things that happened
that I was like, I'm just gonna focus on
the crazy building things.
Should I say some of this stuff?
Yeah, sure, go for it.
I mean, a bit realistically, like, come on.
These are land show viewers.
These are the hard cores.
They're gonna watch it.
Yeah, so.
And nothing you say right now is gonna take away
the experience of the Brandon Glam B roll at the end.
That's fair.
Right?
That is very fair.
There's B roll of my crazy like amethyst gem geode computer
shot on a red.
So that'll look pretty good.
The cooler that I used for it,
which was a cryorig R1 ultimate very much didn't fit.
It wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't like a couple of millimeters
like it was a huge amount of not fitting.
He comes up to my office
and he's like, do you think if I start ripping things off
with pliers and I'm just like,
I, I just found it.
I'm like, I don't, I don't know if that is a.
He told me not to do it.
And then while we were sitting there talking
about something else, I just decided to do it anyways.
But spoiler alert, I started from the top.
Just in time, so he starts doing it just in time
for me to be like, oh, but if you did it this way.
Cause I'm like, whatever, I'm going to try it.
So I start ripping from the top and he's like, yo
if you just take them off the bottom
then you can keep it looking aesthetically nice at the top.
So then I had to try to figure out how to like reattach it.
Reattach fins to a heat sink.
Yeah. Okay.
So you'll get to watch that adventure.
Yeah.
So this is like, like half an hour in
I run into this problem two hours later.
This cooler that doesn't miss, that doesn't fit
by like entire fin length.
Then some heat pipe collision was happening too.
I get it to fit.
I'm going to leave out how I get the heat pipes to fit.
Yeah. If it fits, Luke sits man.
Oh my goodness.
Brutal.
But yeah, I got the, I got the CPU cooler to work.
You put that heat pipe back in there.
Yeah, I did.
It was close, but like you just, you got to work it.
And then after a little while of just like repeated
like you just don't want to push too far
because then you might rupture the heat pipes.
Yeah.
Ew.
That's true.
That's true.
That is true.
And once the heat pipes lose their inner juice
they're not effective anymore.
Yeah.
That's actually, did you know heat pipes have
like liquid in them?
Yeah.
That travels up and then like goes back down.
Not necessarily liquid
but they do have fluid in them for sure.
Cause technically liquid and gas are both fluids.
We're trying to be very scientific
on the show moving forward.
Yeah.
So it got-
So healing crystals.
Yeah.
And then, so I figured that out and go that,
go that way for a little while.
And then I have to figure out how to put all these freaking
cause in my mind I was just like, yeah, it's a great case.
I'll make it look like a geode.
It's not that simple.
There's a lot, there's a lot to it.
One, another visit to Linus's office later.
How would you, how would you glue rocks
to the inside of a computer?
And I'm like, well, gee, Luke
I've never really thought about that.
I've never had a desire to do that.
I also emailed Rod.
Yes.
And you know what's funny about this?
I emailed Rod like, what I'm going to guess
off the top of my head was three months ago.
Yeah.
And he suggested exactly how it should have gone.
And I completely forgot and then ended up figuring it out
through trial and error and then doing exactly
what he had told me.
If I just listened to him from the start
everything could have been fine.
Rod from BS mods knows best.
He saw part of a channel super fun
where when I'm on the phone,
cause they're trying to prank me.
I'm sitting beside it, working on it.
He was like, I saw some amethyst you're working on it.
That's really cool.
And then I'm like, oh man.
But he replied to that email thread.
I'd completely forgotten about it.
And I'm like, I wonder if he told me to do it
the way that I ended up doing it.
Go up and he says exactly like word for word,
exactly how, where the LEDs should go even.
So that it looks better.
Like.
All right.
Anyways.
Moving on to some actual news from this week
that is not internal LMG news.
Samsung is committed to whatever that says.
Quality, there we go.
We learned from the galaxy note seven issues
and have made changes as a result.
Like last time, like the first time that they learned
from the galaxy note seven issues
and then made changes as a result.
There's also something about top load washers.
There's a CD tails link here as well.
Anyway, the point is Samsung's new
and enhanced quality assurance measures
are for product safety.
You can watch a video about it.
Samsung's got that linked on their site.
So the first.
We should do a factory tour.
They should show us their new quality assurance measures.
That would be pretty cool.
And we should broadcast to the world.
I'd be totally down.
I was trying to get LG to let us come see
their display manufacturing.
Oh, that would have been really awesome.
Which would have been really cool.
But they.
I would love how to see that.
The thing about LG is that like,
as far as like, okay.
I think that industry is secretive to the point where like,
maybe not quite the, I forget his name,
the Soviet rocket scientist
who couldn't even be given a Nobel prize
because the Soviets kept his name a secret
and he wasn't allowed to have photographs taken of him.
Like he only got, he only got secret medals
he wasn't allowed to wear or show anybody.
Like Soviet Russia, man.
Like, I don't think it's quite like that,
but I think it's to the point where they don't even
really want people seeing like the layout of the floor
and like how many people work on that and whatever.
Like, cause there's a lot of, I mean,
the Korean super giants are like hyper competitive.
So I understand why they didn't let us do it.
So anyway, the TLDR of the Samsung thing is
the first battery issue was the negative electro tips
touching each other in a curved way
causing a negative charge to occur.
The second battery issue was an abnormal weld spot
in the middle left of the battery
that caused it to short circuit.
So in their commitment to quality article,
they address why this won't happen again.
So it's quality first, which means improved processes
throughout the company to make sure quality
and safety comes first as I wonder what was first before.
Yeah.
Like, I'm not saying that,
I'm not saying like this is a bad thing to say
and I'm not even suggesting that quality and safety first
wasn't already the way that they were designing products.
I'm just wondering, I'm just,
so they're just like saying like, yes,
and we'll do it better this time.
Okay, so there's an eight point battery safety check now.
So an extensive battery check protocol
to ensure the safety of the battery,
which includes durability tests, charge discharge tests,
visual inspection tests, OCV test, TVOC,
I'm not sure exactly what that is,
X-ray test, accelerated usage test and disassembling test.
Okay, they've got multi-layer safety measures.
I love how the TVOC test literally just says
additional testing to ensure battery integrity.
I'm gonna look up what this is.
Let's test validating, test validation of cells, TVOC.
Testing and validation of cells, there.
O is capital.
Well, you know what, I made it up on the spot.
TVOC is a grouping of a wide range
of organic chemical compounds to simplify reporting
when these are present in ambient air or emissions.
Many substances such as natural gas could be classified
as volatile organic compounds.
Okay, that's a completely different thing.
That has nothing to do with this.
Total volatile organic compounds.
Okay, so it's a multi-layer safety measure.
So the idea is to improve safety standards
for their batteries from hardware design
to software protection.
They also have a team of experts from academia
and from research centers to objectively analyze
the safety of their batteries called the BAG
or they're calling it battery advisory group,
but I like the BAG better.
Okay.
The BAG, the BAG.
Did you cover electric cars and cheap solar?
Halt fossil fuel growth?
Sort of.
Sort of?
But it's very uninteresting.
Okay, cool.
So let's move on.
This is interesting.
So this was posted by Todd's All These Winds on the forum.
I'm rather certain that's actually what it is, by the way.
The TVOC thing.
Oh, really?
Oh, okay.
You win maybe.
Maybe, yeah.
I'm not 100% certain.
So the original article here is from The Verge.
Apple has filed a patent for some sort of vaporizer.
So here's the diagram.
So there's a lid.
There's a vapor.
There's a substance being vaporized or sublimated.
There's a heater, which is here, I guess.
And a plate.
You can patent this.
Which is here.
There's a chamber body.
And it should be noted that the chamber body,
you can tell from the little lines going this way,
are separate from the lid.
Okay.
So it's not sealed.
Okay, so there's a lid.
You can patent this.
What?
Well, hold on a second.
They published a patent application.
Okay.
It details a peculiar vaporizer technology, okay?
So, I mean, okay.
So some folks might, maybe this is wishful thinking
for some people out there, might go,
oh wow, the iVape.
Probably.
I would be very surprised.
Probably not.
But basically the plan is for the apparatus
to be able to regulate temperature to release heat
from a substance within a canister.
They also wanna be able to keep air out of the chamber
with the substance being vaporized.
So, I mean, e-cigarette could be a potential application.
Air freshener for a car is one of the other suggestions
in the doc, though I'm not really sure about that.
No other information available.
I have no idea.
I couldn't possibly imagine.
What would you do with a vaporizer if you were Apple?
Would you maybe put it in your stores
so that Apple stores would have a particular scent?
Okay.
Maybe it would be a more efficient way
to have an Apple scent in your store?
Yeah.
And it could be like a good looking thing
that makes the scent instead of like a hidden scent thing
that a lot of stores use.
Yep, they've done like a lot of,
oh, that could even be a product.
The eye smell.
I'm sure they call it something other than that.
Yeah, probably.
It is being, like weed is being legalized
in a lot of states.
Oh, I can't even.
I seriously doubt it.
I can't even.
But it could be them, no, no, no,
but it could be them patent trolling a little bit.
Here's an idea, let's patent it.
If someone wants to use it, they're gonna have to pay us.
Hmm.
Maybe.
That's as far as I'm willing to reach in that direction.
I have a hard time.
I mean, Apple's stance on pornography even
in the early days of the iPhone
was like Jobs basically didn't want boobs on his device.
Yes, but Jobs was pretty down with the drugs.
Okay. Or was.
Okay, this is true.
But what I mean is like,
they take a fairly conservative stance as a company.
And I don't mean like necessarily conservative
in the sense that, you know,
their CEO can't be out of the closet gay.
I just mean like they don't have, you know, an eye drink.
You know, like they, even though, you know,
wine culture in California is absolutely a thing.
One of the preloaded things on your iPhone isn't eye wine.
You know, like a curated way to, you know,
buy wine with Apple pay online or whatever.
Like they just, they could easily do any of these things,
but they don't.
They leave that to the third party app developers
to come up with like, you know, a smoking tracker
or whatever the case may be, like whatever.
So I just, I can't imagine them doing it,
but I could be wrong.
I don't know, man.
That doesn't make a ton of sense.
Okay, so moving on to the most interesting topic
we have today.
The most interesting topic.
More interesting than all those drives.
The Gartner summits data summit.
What?
No, this is the Logitech.
Oh, okay.
I was making a joke.
I didn't even see the ad.
I don't even see ads.
I don't, I'm not aware that they exist.
I just, it's like muscle memory.
Don't look, don't look.
What ad was on your page?
Yeah, go daddy.
Go daddy.
No, I had no idea.
I just, I would have gone like this
and I would have gone, this pertains to my interests.
And it's gone.
Okay, so this is fancy and new.
Okay, so I actually got briefed on this earlier this week
without asking my permission.
I love it when this happens.
Like Nvidia will do this with graphics cards
that they know that nobody cares about.
They'll send you an email.
They're like, but whatever 40 GS is in the mail.
Yeah.
Here's your reviewer's guide.
And you're just like, yeah,
I really wasn't going to review this.
I mean, now I feel obligated
because there's a graphics card in the mail.
It's like, it's not like I feel obligated
because you've like paid me for my time in some way.
I mean, we're talking about, you know,
an $80 graphics card.
Like there is-
I thought you were gonna say we're talking about Nvidia.
No, it's just, it's like,
it's more like a social obligation.
Like, you know, you did a thing, you involved me.
You made me feel like part of the pre-launch experience.
Maybe I should actually review it on time maybe.
Anyway, so they pulled one of those on me.
The, what's it called?
The Logitech spotlight was already in the mail.
Oh, this is a spotlight.
Oh yeah, this is the spotlight.
The Logitech spotlight was already in the mail
by the time I got my briefing call on it.
You're gonna use it now.
For what?
You're gonna end up using it in some weird video.
Okay, it's actually possible.
So Logitech's whole thing is like,
we're gonna re-imagine the presentation remote.
That needed to happen.
Okay, so tell me this.
Let's talk in like super corporate boring terms.
Okay, I don't do very well with that, but okay.
What are your pain points
when it comes to giving presentations?
You know, pain points, right?
Like that's like addressing a customer need.
That's what they're called, they're called pain points.
I don't really feel like I would have any major ones.
No major pain points?
I would feel like if someone was telecommuting in,
I feel like the hardware and software
to support that is extremely subpar.
Oh no, no, this is for in-person presentations.
Yeah, they mostly seem fine.
Okay, so.
I don't have anything else to say there.
I've given presentations too.
Like when I was in school, I had to like present to, yeah.
Okay, so the opening slide of the deck.
I'm sure they have something amazing.
Yeah, of the deck that I was shown
was like some percentage of people
fear public speaking more than death,
which is like obviously like a flawed study.
We've all heard it before.
You've heard that before, right?
Which is ridiculous because-
I've never had a problem with that even before this job.
If you asked, well, it's not even about
whether you personally would,
it's about the way that they must be collecting data
for this study.
I mean, you can't call that a study
because there's two ways that you can collect data
about what someone would prefer,
to speak in front of a large audience or to die.
You can ask them on the phone.
Hey, so question six B, would you rather,
or you can hold a gun to their head and be like,
start talking or I'm gonna blow your fricking brains
all over the-
They'll start talking.
Pretty much everyone will start talking.
They'll start talking.
And then even then, I bet you,
it was a mass survey of a whole bunch of questions
and you had to rate it on a scale.
And then people went public speaking.
That's a zero.
I hate doing that.
And it was like death.
And they're like, hmm, I'm not afraid of anything.
I'm gonna put a three because I am satisfied with my life,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
It's probably just weird emotional response stuff.
Yeah.
So anyway, so one of the features it has
is that in a minute,
you can get three hours of presentation battery life.
So like-
Okay.
If we're stuck, I think it's three hours.
Is it six hours?
It was like a lot.
It was like actually,
it was actually pretty impressive.
Like that's cool.
Whatever.
In a minute, you can get hours of presentation time.
So that's kind of neat.
So if like you would stress about,
oh no, my remote's not working.
How am I gonna give this presentation?
I'm doing like a Ted talk or something.
I think Ted would have you covered.
I think Ted would probably have a backup remote.
But look, we're trying to,
we're finding pain points, okay?
Yeah.
And we're finding pain points.
I feel like Ted would have someone else
actually run the presentation.
We're finding pain points.
Unless you're doing a TEDx, the independent ones.
Then maybe you bring your own,
depending on the size.
Some of them are done in like basements and stuff.
Okay.
So it can communicate via Bluetooth
or it has a dongle that slides into the bottom
and also acts as like a handy dandy little loop.
Though personally, if I were to put a loop on a product,
I would have it be a loop
that does not detach from the product.
So there's that.
That's sort of one piece of feedback.
It charges via USB-C.
So this is pretty cool.
You can adjust the volume by touch.
And is USB-C or the other end is USB-C?
It's end is USB-C for charging inside there.
Okay.
And then it terminates in some other connection
on the other end, right?
Yeah.
USB-A.
Yeah.
Okay, good.
Yeah, all good, all good, all fine.
So you can adjust the volume with like a touch pad thing
or gestures or something I think like that.
Gestures.
Yeah.
Here we go.
So you can assign one of several abilities
to the top or bottom buttons.
You can fast forward, you can blank the screen,
you can scroll, you can set it for a custom keystroke.
So some of the Logitech G, you know,
programmable nonsense makes its way into it.
I thought this was pretty cool.
You can move a cursor around
and you can zoom in on your cursor point.
Like with a little, like the spotlight.
Yeah.
Okay, so you can have a little spotlight.
And it feels really good in the hand.
It comes in matte colors
and is available exclusively on logitech.com
and through the Apple store for the first month.
You said something about gestures?
Yeah, I think there's gestures.
Maybe I'm wrong about that.
I don't see anything about gestures in this article.
I don't know, it's a presentation remote
and it's like 130 bucks or something like that.
It feels really good in the hand though, it's metal.
So if you're like a baller business dude
and you're like, I want the best presentation remote.
Yes.
Then you would buy one of these.
Yeah, all right.
So that's cool, I guess.
Yeah.
Oh man, this has kind of been a painful week.
Have you noticed how like every,
like if you're on like a product,
I'm not gonna be able to relate
to a ton of people right now,
but if you're on like a product conference call
and they're trying to like explain things to you.
Have you noticed like the quality is often terrible?
No.
And like, I don't think that it's the mics.
I don't necessarily think it's the webcams,
but the webcams are often terrible too.
And like the screen sharing software is often garbage.
I've had pretty good experiences.
Yeah, Logitech did the one through.
But Logitech makes this stuff.
So they probably use their own really high end things
and they're probably great.
I'm talking like when it's not companies
that make presentation things.
Yeah, well, no, Logitech doesn't have their own,
like you're talking like GoToMeeting or like WebEx
and all that kind of stuff.
Yeah, Logitech was using one
that I actually don't think I've used before.
It was pretty good.
My last couple of GoToMeeting have been pretty good.
I've had a lot of WebEx ones
that were just sort of terrible.
It could be the like way it's set up or something.
Connecting to them seems really clunky too.
I don't know, man.
You'd think this kind of stuff would be very simple by now.
That's what, yeah.
I remember seeing a demo
and I think it was like it was some developer conference
or some kind of show.
And the demo was like this,
it was this social like video sharing application.
And the idea was that it was kind of like chat rooms
and you could have like dozens of users
all represented by like little tiny bubbles
and you could like drag your bubble.
Did you see this too?
I think I remember this, yeah.
Yeah, and you could like drag your bubble
from one room into another
and then you were all just kind of like
sitting there chatting and you all just had your bubbles.
And it was kind of like Skype
but I think the idea behind it
was that you could share experiences through it as well.
So you could all watch a movie together, for example,
which is probably why it never got off the ground
because that has all kinds of like content protection
issues associated with it.
The thing that drives me crazy
is you hear about these like,
remember we met that dude,
I have to be super vague here.
And he was the engineer
who was making the crazy stuff
that we weren't allowed to talk about it.
And he wasn't allowed to talk about it too much.
Oh, in the airport?
Yes. Yes.
I was gonna try to leave the airport out
just to even try to make it more vague.
But that's as far as I'm gonna go there.
Like they're making crazy stuff.
And some of this stuff already exists.
I've been into conference rooms where I'm like,
wow, the hardware you guys have
to broadcast to people that aren't in this room is amazing.
And then I get on some of these calls
and we're just like, it sounds like crap.
It looks like crap.
What's going on?
This can't be the hardware that's in these rooms.
Yeah, I mean, you look at like the way that's,
okay, so like a wireless access point being-
I haven't had a conference call with Logitech.
I can't, yeah.
Wireless access point beam forming.
That's a thing.
So that's where you have an array of antennas
that pick up where the clients are effectively
and make sure that the signal strength
is as good as it could possibly be.
So I think like our Ruckus R710 has something like,
I don't remember how many it is.
It's like 40 antennas or, okay, it's not that.
I don't remember how many it is.
It's crazy.
But it has lots, lots of antennas
and it uses this beam forming
in order to have better signal strength.
And this type of beam forming also exists for audio.
So that's how something like noise cancellation
on a pair of wireless headphones works,
where it'll go, okay, this one and this one
are working together to pick up your voice.
And then this omni one over here
is trying to find anything that's not your voice
and they'll be able to cancel out anything
that isn't you algorithmically using multiple microphones.
And so there is crazy stuff that exists.
Wow.
But it's either very, very expensive
or not even possible to buy
unless you like call up a solutions engineer
from one of these companies and go,
do you guys have anything like this?
And they go, yeah, sure.
We'll have someone in the lab like hand make it for you.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, a perfect example of something like that
was Sony's laser projector
that they showed off a couple of years ago at CES,
where that was kind of like this in between.
It was in between having a SKU
that goes in a box with a part number
that sits on a shelf at Best Buy
and you having to like call Sony
and have them build something custom
because they did create a SKU,
but you had to like call them and special order it.
And they would hand make them one at a time in Japan
and ship it to you.
So there's this gamut, there's this spectrum
of like go to market strategies.
Speaking of go to market strategies,
one of the best ways to go to market
is to advertise on the WAN Show.
Just like FreshBooks does.
Yeah.
FreshBooks guys, if you're a small business owner
or a freelancer,
you are gonna wanna check out FreshBooks.
FreshBooks lets you save time,
make more money because you can spend your time
doing your business.
Doing your business sounds wrong.
Okay, so you can spend time working on your business
rather than just doing accounting junk
and you can look more professional and organized
to your clients simply by using it.
So it's a cloud-based accounting software
that lets you send out invoices, track your expenses,
track your hours and it is designed for people
who are not like career accountants.
So it's easy to use, but if you have trouble,
you can call them and when you call them,
you will talk to a real human,
no phone tree, no escalations, nothing.
Just someone picks up the phone and talks to you
about how it works.
So visit freshbooks.com slash WAN
to claim your free 30 day trial
and enter WAN in the how did you hear about us section.
They've also got a mobile card reader now,
which is super cool.
Also advertising on the WAN Show.
Oh, this is interesting.
I, what?
Yeah, because you're a total scruff today.
Okay, I explained this in the intro
of my personal rig video.
It has taken so long to get my personal rig video
done that I decided on the first day
that I started working on it, actually,
that I wasn't gonna shave or get a haircut
until I was done.
And then it ended up being like a really long time.
You don't even look like playoff beard.
You just look like kind of unkempt.
It's really bad.
So like it goes pretty far down, which is rough.
I get this stupid bald patch thingy here, which is rough.
Well, it's not actually bald.
Someone mentioned before that I might have like
something wrong, it's some weird disease thing.
No, there's hair there, it's just thinner.
And then like all of this, like if I flare it out,
oh, that legitimately goes to like here on my hand.
That's awful.
It's, yeah.
Okay, so don't look like Luke.
What I was gonna add is every single time
that we do a Dollar Shave Club ad,
I haven't shaved in an extended period of time,
and I don't know why that keeps happening.
They're gonna cut us off.
Hopefully not.
At some point.
See, but the thing is,
when they're not doing advertisements for us,
I am clean shaven.
So it's kind of like them being like,
hey, you should fix this.
Okay, so don't look like him.
We're a before and after photo.
Join Dollar Shave Club.
Dollar Shave Club lets you have a nice clean shave
with a fresh razor anytime you want.
Because instead of having to, you know,
go out and get someone to unlock the stupid thing,
and then get to the checkout only to realize
that you're paying an incredible amount of money
for what is effectively like little strips of steel
mounted in plastic with like different plastic
that keeps you from slicing your fingers open on it
while you're opening it.
Like just incredible amounts of money.
Dollar Shave Club saves you hassle and saves you money
by shipping their razors directly to your door
on a fixed schedule so you do not have to think about it.
You can just grab a new blade whenever you're ready to rock,
start shaving, start shaving.
That's the difficult part.
Finish shaving.
You know, when they deliver it to your door,
the only remaining difficult part is starting to shave.
Starting to shave.
And then you can look like you leave the house
without actually leaving the house.
So they've got a special offer now.
You can get a one month trial of their best razor
for a buck with free shipping.
And after that, it's just a few bucks a month.
No long-term commitment, no hidden fees.
You can cancel anytime you want.
So head over to dollarshaveclub.com forward slash Linus.
Leading us to our last sponsor of the day, Squarespace.
Good old Squarespace.
Squarespace lets you build a website.
That's just all I should say
because everything else about it is kind of like autopilot.
It's kind of extrapolating.
You pick a template.
They handle all the hosting.
It starts at 12 bucks a month.
Every template looks good on every device,
regardless of screen size.
It just works.
They all include their commerce module.
You can make changes.
Which just works.
Anytime you want through their web GUI.
Which will work.
You can publish an Apple news format
to your Squarespace blog module.
That'll work too.
You can...
I'm trying to convince them to change their slogan
to it just works.
To it just works?
Squarespace, it just works.
I think that's, isn't that like Apple's old slogan?
I don't think they can do that.
Is it?
Yeah, it's not like Apple, it just works.
I think so.
It just works.
Todd Howard.
Todd Howard at E3.
Where did the it just works meme originate?
Out of the loop Reddit.
Check that out.
In the meantime.
In the meantime, Squarespace is all about
taking the hassle out of having your own website.
Whether you're running a little league team in your town
or whether you have a restaurant
or whether you resell Squarespace service.
That is something that people totally do
is they just set people up with Squarespace sites.
They make them look really beautiful for them
and then they hand over the keys
and they go, boom, here's your website.
It's awesome.
It only costs you a few bucks a month to maintain.
Hi, Shane.
Friend Shane literally does that.
Or has done that, I guess.
Well, you end up with a good website
and from a person who's designing websites perspective,
there's no like hassle after the fact.
Someone's like, okay, this is a legit story.
I might screw up one or two small parts of it
but the general framing of the story is legit.
Buddy Shane, person comes up to them,
has spent tons of money on a web designer.
Wasn't going well.
He's like, here, here, give me your credit card.
Get some on Squarespace.
Which one do you like?
That one, click, fill in your stuff.
Okay, you're done.
That's all you needed.
Everything's fine.
They spent like a lot of money on a web designer
and then they were way more happy with their,
this is like an actual, I'm leaving some details out
so I don't know the exact amount of money.
I don't know how long they were struggling with it.
I don't, there's like, it's a much more interesting story
when you know all the details, but like that did happen.
Something along those lines did happen.
Yeah, dog.
All right, so onto the rest of the news.
We actually do have a lot more topics than I thought.
I wonder if Colton's been adding them
since we started streaming
because there's like pages and pages now.
Time Warner, apparently cheated customers on internet speed
says the New York Attorney General.
I'm assuming that's what AG stands for.
So the original article here is from the pressherald.com.
Subscribers to the company's premium plan
received internet speed as much as 70% slower
than guaranteed in their ads, the lawsuit says.
Now I think it's been a long time
since an ISP has actually guaranteed a speed in their ads.
Everyone in Canada just says up to
so that they don't end up getting sued over this stuff.
But so Charter acquired Time Warner Cable last year
for 55 billion.
I didn't realize they renamed it Spectrum.
The suit was filed on Wednesday following a 16 month probe
that included reviewing internal corporate communications
and hundreds of thousands of subscribers speed tests.
The investigation found that Spectrum Time Warner subscribers
were getting dramatically short changed
on both speed and reliability.
Justin Veneck, a spokesman,
I don't know how to pronounce that last name,
for Charter said the company is disappointed
with the decision to sue
because it was based on service promises
advertised before the company acquired Time Warner Cable.
Okay.
Well.
So?
So then.
Man up.
Yeah, okay.
Noctua releases three CPU coolers
specifically for AMD Ryzen.
This is a really good, really good sign
for reasons that might not be immediately apparent.
So they've got the NHL 12.
So first of all, this tells us something about Ryzen
and that is that there will be SKUs available
that will be power and thermally efficient enough
to use, whoops, to use a low profile cooler like this.
Sorry?
And hockey sticks.
What about hockey sticks?
NHL.
Oh, thank you for that.
I tried.
You did.
We didn't make it there.
I, I, I, I, you know what?
I'll take the blame for that one.
I appreciate it.
It's okay, but I appreciate it.
I mean, if it was 2012 and you'd been like NHL 12.
It would have been any.
Wouldn't have gotten any better actually.
Probably not.
It would have been terrible.
Okay.
So anyway, so it tells us that.
They also have a high performance cooler.
They have a special edition NF NHD 15.
So this is the SEAM4.
This is really cool because it tells us
that the scuttlebutt within the industry,
a lot of which doesn't make its way into the media
because of NDAs.
But it tells us that the scuttlebutt within the industry
is that AMD is gonna have a processor
that is high performance enough
to justify putting a $100 cooler on top of it.
Right?
So we're not getting like a 149.99.
We priced it that way because that's all it competes with.
CPU.
I feel like you should make a video
breaking down like the potential expectations
of the results of these coolers.
Hmm.
It would be a very speculative video.
I don't know, man.
I would be interested.
So here's a look at it.
Strawball.
The other thing this tells us, okay,
the fact that there are three coolers
tells us that Noctua is expecting
high enough sales volume of AM4 processors.
Again, industry scuttlebutt here.
High enough sales volumes that one cooler company
can have three dedicated SKUs for just this platform.
Something that they haven't done
for a long time for AMD processors.
So this is like indirectly great news.
There have also been some Ryzen leaks.
Apparently they are not in the dock.
Ryzen leak Linus tech tips,
but I was reading about it on the forum earlier this week.
The Ryzen CPU lineup possibly leaked.
So we'll just pull up the, no, we won't.
Okay.
So we will go like this.
Thanks for saving that.
Okay.
And check this out.
So this was originally posted over on WCCF Tech.
So take it with whatever your opinion of WCCF Tech is.
But this,
source coolaller.com.
Coolaller has been known for leaking
a lot of stuff in the past, actually.
Apparently we're gonna get like a Radeon style R prefix.
Then we're getting these completely indecipherable
model names, apparently.
Why R?
Well, with the graphics cards, it was Radeon.
Oh, Ryzen.
No.
Yeah, I hated to.
So it looks like we're gonna get eight core 16 thread,
anywhere from three to 3.6 gigahertz
with the intention of competing
against the 7,700K to 6,900K.
Now, this is a little confusing to me
because if they're showing off 6,900K competitors,
which are, according to this chart,
expected to be at the top end,
that are running without AMD's clock speed
boosting technology running,
how is it that an eight core 16 thread
at only 600 megahertz less
would be competitive with a 7,700?
Because these two perform very similarly
in non-heavily threaded workloads,
and this gets creamed by this
in heavily multi-threaded workloads.
So this is gonna be very interesting.
In a while or so, I don't know when Ryzen's coming.
Yeah, have you seen that dude
who bends a pin every day or whatever?
On what?
He has an older AMD processor.
Do not remember which one it is.
I guess it literally has to be older
because there aren't any other ones right now.
And he bends a pin on it, I think every single day,
that they don't announce the release date of Ryzen.
Well, that'll give him three years worth of pins to bend.
Well, no, he's started, I think, since CES.
So he's been going-
Just this CES?
Yeah.
Okay, yeah, that still gives him
three years of pins to bend,
so I think he'll make it.
He's through a row and a half or something of pins.
Nice.
Speaking of bending pins,
would you guys like to see,
I'm not gonna do this drop poll,
just hit me up in Twitch chat,
would you guys like to see a guide
on repairing LGA sockets?
You're really good at it,
so I would like to see that guide.
Because Luke brought me a socket that got-
I thought I was screwed.
That got wrecked.
As far as I could tell, when looking at it,
it was pretty much a done deal.
I thought, there's a few areas where you could see damage,
and I thought one of them in particular,
I literally thought the pin was missing.
So I was like, can't fix that.
When that's the case, you're done.
But I actually have a dead LGA 2011 3 board.
It's really unfortunate, it's a WS board.
Which is like, so it's like a $600 board.
I got in touch with Asus,
it would cost me like $350 to repair the socket.
And I'm just like,
yeah, and it's still a used board
with like a used socket soldered onto it now.
Maybe a new socket, but I don't know.
It sketched me out.
But I could sacrifice what's left of it.
Because you know what, it actually kind of still works,
except that some-
Okay, but yeah, I think for this video to carry weight,
it has to be a motherboard that will work when you're done.
So you have to go from like,
look, everything's in, it doesn't turn on properly.
Take it out, look how terrible it is.
Fix, boot it back up, this works.
Okay, okay.
I don't know if everyone agrees with me,
but I feel like that adds a lot more weight to the video.
I wish we had done it on that board then,
because there were pins in the socket.
I don't know if you guys have looked that closely at them.
But basically, they stick up kind of like this.
They're kind of flat, and then they go up,
and then they come out,
and then there's like a pad on the end.
There's like, it's more joints than my finger has.
But basically,
um,
I can't believe you just did that.
You're on camera, too.
Anyway, it sticks up like this.
These were bent all the way over.
So I had to bend them all the way back like this.
It was pretty impressive.
I was like, he's fixed a lot of crazy sockets before.
It's working, though.
It is working, it is completely working.
Maybe next time we have a bent socket, we'll tackle it.
Because the bent pin repair video
that I did back on NCIX Tech Tips
was also done under similar circumstances.
I was trying to get a video done,
and the pin, well, broke off eventually.
Have you watched that video?
No.
Okay, so the pin was bent,
and in trying to bend it back, I broke it off.
That CPU is still running in my parents' desktop.
It's still running, anyway.
So that video, we filmed it as an impromptu thing
in the middle of a completely separate video
that just happened to need that,
I needed that processor for it.
And the reason that I had to repair it,
rather than go into the warehouse and grab another one,
is we were filming after hours,
and I couldn't go get another one.
I had no choice, I had to fix it.
So maybe next time, maybe next time, we'll do that.
Cool.
I don't even remember what the news item
that we were talking about was.
Well, there is more Ryzen news this week, though,
aside from the lineup being revealed.
And that lineup looks very promising.
The fact that AMD,
because there's a lot of costs associated
with bringing a SKU to market, even just stupid stuff,
like packaging and marketing,
and expecting distributors and retailers
to stock all this stuff.
They have to be expecting sales volume
if they're gonna have what looked like 15 to 20 SKUs
at launch.
More good news.
AMD expected to provide Windows 7 drivers
for their upcoming Ryzen CPUs.
And you might think, oh, well, yeah, of course.
But remember, a lot of the Windows 7 support
for modern hardware comes from it having already
supported Windows 7 before.
Like graphics cards, stuff like that, yeah, sure.
But there's no real guarantee.
Once it's on Microsoft's end of support roadmap,
there's no real guarantee
that you're gonna get proper support.
Because Ryzen will probably work on Vista too,
but they might not guarantee it.
So official support means that they're gonna support it
and they're gonna make sure that there are no bugs,
even though it might work on other stuff.
So that's a very important distinction
and more good news about AMD Ryzen.
We should just call this the good news about Ryzen show.
You know how with Steam,
you can stream games over a network?
Yeah.
There's like, if you have it installed
on another computer, there's the stream button, right?
What if you did it over the same computer using Unraid?
That could be done.
I can't think of a good reason to do it though.
Not wanting to use Windows.
Oh, like not wanting to use Windows
for your actual desktop experience.
So could you pass through much of,
well, you wouldn't even need to pass through
as much resources because Linux is just lighter.
So if you had like a 10 core extreme edition or something,
and you passed through like four of your cores,
or you could even do six of your cores
to your desktop experience,
and you used four of them for a Windows gaming VM,
and you streamed off of that,
yes, that could actually work quite well.
I kind of want to do that.
Windows 10 is really annoying.
Like, oh man, I sort of hate it.
There was even a post on PCMR today,
I think it hit the top,
where the guy has like all notification settings
and all advertisement and everything turned off everywhere.
And Cortana, even though disabled, comes in the corner,
is like, hey, have you figured out
your Super Bowl snacks yet?
Like, pissed off.
I actually really hate using that operating system.
And I would love to use Windows 7,
but then we have topics like this,
where it's like, oh yay, new hardware supports it,
instead of like, of course, new hardware supports it.
So here's an interesting little tidbit.
I found a Windows 8.1 unused license key
in the office today,
and I had a thought,
you know how we're having a lot of issues
with stability with Adobe Media Encoder?
I am gonna try putting one of our render machines
on Windows 8.1 and see what happens.
My brother swears by it.
He uses 8.1 and suggests it to everybody.
It has a lot of the optimizations,
things like SMB multi-channel optimizations,
things like the much better task manager
and file transfer stuff.
All of that stuff.
Doesn't have DirectX 12 support.
Pfft.
Who cares?
But I wanna try it out,
because one of the writer applicants.
Like, it's okay, to be fair with the who cares,
like, it's really stupid that it doesn't have that support.
But it's not better yet, at least.
So don't worry about it, it's fine.
So one of the writer applicants worked on a video
that we probably won't end up releasing,
just because I wasn't there
to oversee the testing methodology.
We paid him for the work, anyway.
So he benchmarked Windows Vista 7,
8.1,
and 10
to determine, is there truly an operating system
that performs better?
And Windows 8.1 came on top, like consistently.
So I'm gonna try it out and I'm gonna see how it goes.
Like, yes, the start menu's garbage,
but you can replace it.
Yep, classic start.
Yeah.
Start, yeah, shell.
Can't remember.
Yeah, it's been a while.
Yeah.
Firefox OS, speaking of operating systems, is dead.
Mozilla kills off the open source
Internet of Things project with 50 layoffs.
And the original article is from ZDNet.
There's not really a whole lot to add other than that.
We have shifted our internal focus,
or our internal approach
to the Internet of Things opportunity
to step back from a focus
on launching and scaling commercial products
to one focused on research and advanced development, okay?
So basically, it's not there yet.
So we'll hire a team later.
Yeah.
Yeah, the Nintendo Online Service
will cost less than $30 a year, apparently.
That's very reasonable.
But, unlike PlayStation Network, PSN,
and other things, your monthly random little game
that you get, you don't get to keep it.
So you essentially get a random game for a month.
And then it's gone.
Okay.
So you lose a lot of the benefit and save half the money.
So if you didn't care at all
about the games that you would get included,
I'm not gonna say for free,
included with the other services,
then this is better, because it's cheaper.
But then I think a lot of the value proposition of this
is going to be figured out when they actually roll it out,
because they're new to the party.
Right.
And their online services have been absolute trash.
Yeah.
So now that they're charging for it,
they better step their game up.
And I love how they just shut them down.
Like, I really liked playing Mario Kart DS.
And they're just like, peace.
It's gone.
And there's no community replacement option.
Just, yep, that thing that you enjoyed
about that thing you bought,
maybe you should have played it more
when it was still available, brah.
Okay, well, we'll see how that goes for them.
There's gonna be a lot of, let's see how that goes for them.
There's a lot of speculation that
if Switch isn't like a resounding success,
Nintendo's not gonna do another living room console.
Just move to...
But then this is hard to even define
as a living room console.
There's been a lot of talk about that.
It's basically a hybrid.
And honestly, wow, using it in handheld mode is amazing.
And handheld mode and tabletop mode
were the main interesting things.
But honestly, when I was using the TV mode experience,
it was good, but it was just good.
The handheld mode was awesome.
It felt like the best version of a DS,
just because the screen is huge.
And if you take the controllers off,
it's actually pretty easy to pack somewhere.
Certain games, like if you get Zelda,
certain editions of Zelda,
like the special editions and stuff,
come with a sleeve so you can take your Switch with you.
They're very much approaching it from a mobile standard.
The original article here is from Ars Technica,
hosted by M. Yurizaki, or something like that on the forum,
Nvidia to stop people from reselling promotional game codes
by tying the codes to hardware.
So to be clear,
the game is not tied to that video card forever.
So if you were to change your video card down the road,
you still get to keep it.
But redeeming the game permanently adds the game
to the appropriate third-party service.
And they have confirmed
that GeForce Experience will check
that the user has installed a qualifying graphics card,
but again,
the game will not be permanently linked to the hardware.
I get it.
I'm not thrilled about it,
because I personally would often use like bundled games as-
To offset the cost of your card.
Like when I already owned it,
it's just kind of a bummer if I already bought it.
So yeah, that sucks.
We've talked about that already.
LG's 5K monitor,
this was originally posted by GoodBytes,
is not cooperating well with routers.
And LG is recommending keeping your monitor
at least seven feet away from your router.
Apparently, once the router,
they don't have a picture of it happening or anything,
but apparently once the router gets too close,
it causes interference with the display
and causes it to not work properly.
So it can flicker, disconnect, or freeze the computer
due to electromagnetic interference.
LG has acknowledged the problem,
but they don't have anything specific
that they're saying about what they plan to do
to address it.
I think that's pretty much it for today.
Yep, that's it.
Do you wanna talk about the 58 gigabyte HD texture pack
for Fallout 4 really quick?
Sure.
Okay, so basically what I just said,
a 58 gigabyte HD texture pack for Fallout 4,
that's crazy.
Your PC will need to meet or exceed
the recommended specs to run this pack.
The recommended specs that they're talking about
is Windows 7, 8, or 10.
Look at that.
An Intel Core i7 5820K or better,
a GTX 1080 8 gig or better,
and 8 gigs of RAM or better.
That looks incredible though.
Yeah.
With your new personal rig,
you'll be able to chew through that.
And maybe stream it.
Wicked.
All right, so thanks for tuning into the WAN Show, guys.
We will see you again next week.
Same bat time, same bat channel.
Yay.
Oh, right, the outro.
Well, the intro, but with no,
yeah, there's no audio.
I could try and find the audio one.
I don't know where Ed put it.
Did someone else bring in a foam roller
or is this for filming?
I have no idea.
I just don't question things anymore.
Intro.
Is there something that he modified today?
Nope.
I have no idea.
Okay.
And.
