show i just had to i had the stupidest can you not what are you even doing i'm excited
oh are you excited about the video we just made yeah is that what you were gonna uh tease right
there no get it oh there's there's all this there's all the c teasing that uh c teasing
oh that's so good yeah c teasing man no one's gonna get that for a little while yeah but
they'll get it channel super fun man it is gonna have quite a video on it in a little while here
and you guys are gonna you guys are gonna like it if you know what i mean um the like the finish
no what i am upset about is my stupid laptop that we had a new person start today so i actually had
to give up my desk i no longer have a desk in the editing den all five of them are consumed by
shooter slash editor people um so i was like okay well that's fine i'll just use my laptop
and so i went downstairs i set up a table for myself and i like started working on something
and i was like oh i got a reboot and i rebooted and boom windows installation corrupted so i went
from having two usable computers at the office to having zero in a span of like six minutes
um so i actually had to re-reformat my computer before the show today holy crap and so i'm not
okay so the final like where i'm trying to get to with this story is i'm not logged into twitch
yeah i can't see the twitch chat yeah yeah yeah that that's when did all that happen because
you've already obviously nine-eyed this and installed like office and stuff uh yeah it
happened like two hours ago it was before we shot that thing with the um with the um okay so channel
super fun should we say what it involves let's say what it involves dildos there is a channel
super fun that involved unconventional use of dildos okay a few of them too so get subscribed
get subscribed because it's gonna be awesome it is all right let's uh what do we got for topics
today uh samsung and oppo sued over bloatware in china that's good everyone should get sued over
bloat okay not everyone should get sued over bloatware most people download the linus tech
tips app comes complete with macra fee and ask jeeves no we don't well we do have one but we
don't have one don't no don't ignore it altogether uh logitech changes name to logi sort of kind of
maybe a little bit we'll talk about that later seven nanometer chip prototype by ibm ooh also
also ellen powe the interim ceo of reddit has mutually resigned mutually resigned
has been mutually pushed out the door she pushed backwards
oh yeah
hello you know my throat is actually sore from filming that video
it really is but mine's not you'll understand why and it huh it's okay it's not related to dildos
but it's definitely related to penises and that will make more sense when you watch the video wow
um so samsung and oppo sued over bloatware in china the original poster here is captain
gaz and i'm gonna go ahead and pull up the original article here from android authority
there we go just to be clear my throat is also sore but not actually from that video no wow
okay so uh all right so the lawsuit came about following numerous consumer complaints about
unwanted apps so the case is actually the first of its kind filed by the consumer rights commission
to be accepted by a shanghai court so the galaxy note 3 has 44 pre-installed apps in the chinese
market and the oppo find 7a has 71 pre-installed apps by default now we get it the business model
behind pre-installed apps is that you get a kickback from the app maker because they can in
theory monetize somehow or or it's just keeping people within your locked tight ecosystem yes
so okay so when it's a third-party pre-installed app it's all about um monetizing it somehow so
you're taking your user base and you're monetizing it allowing those app makers to have that as their
user base which they can then monetize whether it's through microtransactions in a game or whether
it's through uh selling personal details whether it's anonymously or like the more nefarious kind
where it's actually tied to the actual individual and then what luke was saying too was when it's
more like samsung's or oppo's own like first party apps how many parties are there okay well whatever
it's first Samsung's own apps installed well that's just a clever way of trying to present
a better value to the consumer um to get them locked into that platform because maybe they
like samsung's mail and then if you go to buy a phone in the future you can be like well it
doesn't have all those things that i used all the time and then you'll want the same phone
which is fine if you can remove them but um yeah that's not always necessarily the case so
the problem is that neither company informed consumers about the number of apps pre-installed
in the handsets and that consumers are not offered any information on how to uninstall those that
they don't want so the smartphone companies have 15 days to enter a defense after which a trial
date will be announced it's really interesting to me that pre-installed apps have have now turned
into a potentially legal issue for the companies that are putting them on because which is cool
this is something that we've been dealing with since like you know buying a gateway with an aol
crap on it and like Norton 360 wild tangent games you have to use the Norton removal tool to take
it off because it's so parasitic ever have you ever played a wild tangent game no but i've
removed it off of so many computers hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them that's right you
worked for geek squad and a few other places so you really have i actually have yes and like the
Norton removal i had a script and a usb and it was one of those uh what was it the the u2 whatever
usbs that had auto whatever that people used for hacking all the time but i used the auto thing to
launch a script which would just run through remove wild tangent game it would remove all
the ones that were on everything right so it would remove wild tangent games it would run the Norton
removal tool we would do all this stuff and just nuke all the things right at the beginning just
be like screw this computer screw that computer whatever get out of here i don't want your crap
no one cares about your stupid game that is freaky i wonder what wild tangent is doing now
i don't i'm gonna google this because i haven't heard of them in a really long time
they're nothing no no no they oh there's nothing they're owned by hp wild tangent games for hp
uh what no because asus had it asus had wild tangent stuff pre-installed on a laptop recently
redmond washington based game network privately held in the united states that powers game
services for several pc manufacturers including del no no they're their own thing i think that
one is maybe it's just because we're looking at wildtangent.ca and like maybe in this territory
wild tangent is partnered with hp in some strategic way or something but it's just like
you know maybe maybe we're being too hard on wild tangent i have never played one of their games
is it possible it looks like they have like ds games and stuff what is it possible that their
games are no more offensive than space pinball i like space and this is not a sponsorship
integration for wild tangent it really wouldn't be based on how much we've talked about how we
yeah i don't think anyone was worried about yeah i'm just making sure it's very clear i mean what
is what is what is open a boutique sugar games shut up it's ten dollars are you for real oh my
god so wait is their monetization platform trying to get people to buy the games i've honestly never
launched the app i've just yeah does it come with demos maybe the twitch chat knows twitch chat
seems to know all kinds of things sometimes buy a fire pool wild tangent comes with every hp
purchase fire pool space pinball rules yes indeed why doesn't steam come pre-installed instead of
wild tangent great question fantastic you can get steam using ninite.com yeah ninite.com is
basically the equivalent of like winrar chrome steam filezilla i love how we have twitch staff
paint dot net stream consistently you're awesome yeah that's all i have to say uh so no one is
saying that wild tangent really no one's talking i don't think anybody knows they just see it on
the computer and they remove it because it's garbage oh anyone take up a lot of space sometimes
i know i know especially back in the day when laptops had like you know 80 gig hard drives
it's like you have the ombre system and then wild engine games and you're just done it's like no
you cannot take up a couple hundred megs on an 80 gig hard drive if you're not something useful
period yeah it's really funny this this really makes me this sends me back to like the day when
like i'm like my parents first computer one of our hard drives was shoot i it was something
ridiculous we had a small one and a big one and if i recall correctly the big one was a hundred
megabytes and i was just like great it could hold almost nothing it was awesome and like nowadays
we've just reached the point like i think once we crack the one terabyte capacity per drive
combined with how so much of our storage is cloud based which might not necessarily benefit you in
terms of like okay i want to look at that picture i'm gonna download it from my cloud account no no
not necessarily although some people do use facebook purely as a picture repository um
no i mean cloud storage in the sense that or like cloud based in the sense that like you don't have
to have every game installed on your computer all the time because it's like a half an hour process
of swapping in disks and like reinstalling it and looking at that stupid cd key where is it
and that kind of nonsense you didn't have that that bad because you kept a database
i did too yes but it was quite i think i bought uh warcraft three three times and then i was
trying to like screw it i'm logging all this stuff yep starcraft i bought more than once
starcraft one um you know i wonder if blizzard became such a big company
because people had to rebuy their games so many damn times well you only needed the key by the
starcraft stage you actually only needed your key in fact my warcraft three disk was missing forever
no my problem is losing the keys oh you would lose the keys oh oh yeah no i i do have a key
repository because i had i i immediately downloaded isos for those disks right i just needed the keys
game copy world yes exactly i am not putting cds in my computer that is stupid i paid for this
software if i can't find my 1602 adcd i am still going to trade like wool and cloth and fight
pirates period that's going to happen game copy world was the best oh my are they still around
i don't again let's look up something old yeah i have i actually legitimately have no idea because
that was like remember far cry yeah had five disks yeah and i was just like oh my god it looks the
same it still looks exactly the same that's hilarious wow oh that's awesome this is wonderful
important notice wow this is so it looks that site looks so early 2000s dragon age inquisition
fifa 2015 dying light witcher 3 so they still have no i guess people some people still buy
cds of the game so they might actually have use for an ocd patch wow there it is guys game copy
world got that packman logo i love it it makes me feel so old school because they're advertising
eve too right wow all right should we do any actual topics today um yes the one plus two is
gonna have four gigs of lp ddr4 ram so the official statement why did we choose lp ddr4
for the one plus two lower power consumption and better battery efficiency twice the bandwidth
performance as lp ddr3 at the same power didn't see that one coming lower operating voltage in
this presser press predecessor i didn't see that one coming from 1.2 volts to 1.1 volts
speeds of up to 32 gigabytes per second it is twice as fast as lp ddr3 that's actually the
same as the second point which was twice the bandwidth performance yeah uh it also happens
to be the only type of ram to run on the snapdragon 810 it's interesting the only one
they could have used it's interesting it is interesting to me that the snapdragon 810 was
the choice i mean even though like okay you know about like the whole thing going on with snapdragon
810 no so basically it thermal throttles like a bitch in pretty much every phone um now with
that said the one plus two should be pretty big and if they decide to build in a pretty beefy
thermal solution they might have fewer problems than it with it than others have but lg and the
g4 my video of which is up on vessel but not youtube yet i think so some of you may have seen
it already on the g4 um i was surprised having done zero research on the g4 until i was holding
it in my hand because i'm not like i'm not an obsessive phone guy but like i've spent enough
time with enough phones i have absolutely no problems reviewing them it's just that i'm not
i'm not i'm not reading rumor sites so when it arrives i'm like okay and i was like oh this has
a snapdragon 808 in it so that's actually four low power cores and only two high performance
cores versus the four high performance cores in the 810 not to mention that it has no support for
lpdr4 and i was like this is a flagship phone this is a 600 phone are you guys for real and it was
really interesting because android authority did a great article where they had the uh the g4 and
the g flex 2 which are similar like both current generation flagship class phones one of which
runs the 810 the g flex 2 and one of which which runs the lower end cheaper actually 808 and they
discovered that the the g flex 2 and they could only really say g flex 2 because you can't say oh
the 810 throttles more than the 808 because we're just looking at two individual phones
but the g flex 2 throttled like crazy whereas the g4 took i think it was something in the
neighborhood of six minutes to start really thermally throttling meaning that you're
actually unless you're doing something heavily multi-threaded which let's face it doesn't happen
that often on a phone like if you're encoding video on your phone which yeah you might do
once in a while twice yeah i've done it a couple times but like you know um so if you're doing
anything that's not heavily multi-threaded you could actually be better off with an 808
so uh anyway the one plus two will not have that it'll have an 810 and it'll have four
gigs of lpdr4 because it has to is is is phone memory getting out of hand like is that that's
got to be a straw poll guys straw phone storage we should get straw pull as a sponsor we're always
using it i love that site do they even probably a huge percentage of their bandwidth do they even
advertise straw poll yeah probably not i don't even know it's just this dude what is their
monetization model like it's app created by dander it's not a difficult thing yeah i guess that's we
could just make our own i guess we could if we really wanted i don't want to no hard yeah um
i think that's the reason why we use it is because it's easy and everything else might exist but
there's no point looking for it because this one exists turnip all right now i know a lot of you
have bought the shirt but i would like you to resist the urge to vote for turnip this time for
those of you who don't know about this wow and it's winning
we're gonna have a moment of silence to appreciate your disrespect it's winning by so much luke
you're a lot of things to me okay you're an employee you're a friend you're a fellow dildo
racer yeah you're a colleague you know you're and you just you can't respect me enough to not vote
for turnip correct uh i can't oh my goodness shut up oh this tab needs to go away now it's like
norton security shaw security we're everything oh my god i have a touch pad i can't close the
dialogue and hit the exit fast enough but linus these actions required there was threats detected
like your own security key ran out so you need to buy one that's a threat
geez for those of you who aren't aware we actually have a vote for turnip
shirt coming out i haven't bought one of these yet i get to get on that we're not expecting
this to be like the most popular shirt we've ever done because it's basically just an inside joke
for the wan show viewers who are not even i don't think the majority of our viewers it's just
no you guys who watch wan show uh because we don't we don't refer to turnips anywhere else
nope so i think a lot of people when i'm like what the hell is this the thing with the body
paint is that i'm not yet a lot of people are going to be super duper confused i think everyone
is going to be a little confused yeah but we are finally doing that um that that new office
crowdfunding campaign thing where we committed to me wearing body paint in a video i think that's
the last second last one second last one there's one more you know what i don't think i've received
your uh daniel radcliffe harry potter i'm actually so stoked for that what i do have though is i have
the chalkboard sticker oh cool of the speech bubble yeah so we can actually say whatever we
want it's gonna start with wingardium get the f back to work luke but then it can but we could
change it that's cool he could cast all kinds of spells we should have abatica stop slacking
that would kill me but not but um tell me this when you're slacking
can you really tell the difference between slacking luke and dead luke wow wow is there
resurrection there is but you can when you get resurrected in the harry potter universe you
don't really like have your soul you know you live in a picture frame i think no no that's not
resurrection oh you're talking about a horcrux now you have to split your soul prior to dying
so your soul is still alive in like you know because someone's dildo or something there's
there's the soul of dildo there's the there's the wand there's the cape and there's something else
isn't there and the third one deathly hallows yeah doesn't that one bring someone back to life
and doesn't someone do it and then the person is like oh i don't remember it's been a while
i'm not i'm not up on my harry potter stuff it's been a long time i loved those books but it's been
a long time does anyone remember uh i don't know i'm just talking about dildo yeah everyone's just
talking about dildos and twitch dildo um what were we even talking about should make right
the struggle dig a dildo someone should make like gundam wing inspired inspired dildos yeah that
sounds extraordinarily uncomfortable well you could make it or you could just have like a
dildo collection you wouldn't actually have to use them i guess that's true like if you were
like a dildo or someone would use it i'm sure someone has a dildo collection too i'm sure tons
of people have to look well no but i mean like just a collection like on display oh with like
zero intent of using yeah yeah i'm sure someone out there just collects dildos yeah probably so
has phone memory gotten out of hand we've got turnip running away with 42 of the vote
30 of you are saying no bring bring on the memory i'd love to have more ram in my phone what i want
to know is how many people even have chrome on their phones why do they need so much memory
just kidding sorry chrome that was a cheap shot um probably tons but how many people really have
that much stuff open at a time on their phones to the point where you would actually run out of
three or even two gigs of memory without getting to the point where you've got so much background
crap running that it's draining your battery life to the point where you can like i have my phone
my phone use habits have actually overshot modern technology yeah i just tried to double tap this um
my phone habits have overshot most modern flagship smartphones in terms of battery capacity because
using the droid turbo has made me just take for granted that i can just do whatever i want on my
phone and i'm gonna have like 20 15 left at the end of the day even when i use it really hard
so the lgg4 like i would make it but i had one really long day where i both got up early and i
had to work really late when i didn't make it and so using something like the s6 edge like really
using it i almost i very rarely make it through the day today i'm gonna make it and using the
iphone 6 uh when i was doing my apple watch review was actually really tough because combining the
fact that the iphone 6's battery really isn't that great with the fact that all of a sudden now i've
got bluetooth on all the time because i've got it paired to a watch um i made it through i think
i think the first two days in a row i didn't make it through the day i don't even want to keep using
this there's huge problems with this thing i need to reformat it for one but i don't get notifications
at all unless the screen is on which is why i need to reformat it right but there's there's other
various reasons it's not really that big of a deal but the reason why i'm being so reluctant
to give up on it is every other phone option that i have will make it through six hours of a day
right yeah the z3 is not bad it's got like what a 3000 battery good yeah um g4 is another one that
like i did okay with but i'm really excited right now about the s6 active yeah do you have that i
do yeah it's not on me right now but i'm i'm trying to pump out my apple watch review so
that like i've still got a few more things i want to observe about it um so i'm trying to pump that
out because i will be completely changing gears and i will be switching to the s6 active and the
pebble time which also just arrived so i'll be going apple ecosystem to android plus something
else not in an ecosystem at all and having those two experiences back to back which is part of what
i love about being a tech reviewer just trying these things it's really nice and i must admit
and and having having that getting that perspective because before um well also when i was a fair bit
younger i succumbed much more to the uh i i call this out all the time the just being angry about
purchasing decisions well people are mine will just fight because they're like i bought this
thing and i need to justify my purchase so screw you yeah that's where i see a lot of that fanboy
wars exactly um but being able to try everything you start to realize that there's usually pros and
cons to literally everything and it's kind of just fine as long as it works for you it's very rare
that we come up with something that is just unequivocally bad like just terrible and no one
should buy it and like the core effects like the like the core effects oh well okay what we can say
about the core effects is that it's early early days for that technology yeah and that just tape
an xbox controller to your chest and that and that um there is something to be said for more
interactivity with games true it's just that that product isn't it no um oh you know the arag or
your rag or whatever the sorry it's okay the arag though yeah we might be able to get a sample okay
that's cool yeah yeah um i still i'm very interested in force feedback vests yeah just
the core effects was just not good yeah you've been doing like all the like weird stuff lately
like that 3d scanner the core effects thing it might is it even refreshing to go back into a
keyboard for a change it's honestly uh i've been looking at it and like this is going to sound a
little bit bad because i especially when i first started i was like all about keyboards yeah there
hasn't been a lot of major changes the mx board 6.0 is that what it's called yeah mx board 6.0
does have a completely redesigned actual electronic electrical structure it does it does but i need i
need to do some testing to see the wave of the future a noticeable difference tell me i also
want to give it to ed yeah and see if he feels a difference because ed's like this crazy counter
strike player so like if he if he notices like tiny amounts of difference then that's super my
understanding is he's actually pretty good but i've never played with him oh okay but like he
super knows what he's talking about yeah he claims his rank is good and he uploaded some footage in
one of our reviews where he seems to be pwning dudes or something so i'm like okay sure yeah
that's cool um speaking of pwning dudes ea will pay a 60 million dollar fine for the unauthorized
use of names and portraits of athletes all right so let's go ahead and now uh yeah original original
link here's from game shock now i'm gonna go ahead i'm a i'm a i'm a leap all over this and say
uh this is not even the like the the the crowning head of the tip of the iceberg that is the
injustice of um what do we even call it we can't call it professional athletics in the united
states because they aren't getting paid um so but someone's getting paid it just isn't the athlete
so the whole the whole system down there where you're trading experience for uh someone else
making a ton of money like basically you're it's like it's like asking people to buy lotto tickets
kind of thing you're like you're taking their money for them to have a chance to win big and
make it to the nfl or the nba and we're giving them nothing in return but the opportunity to
what are you talking about you know that college athletes don't get paid right this is nba this is
this is nba isn't it no uh so american football and men's blah blah blah yeah so those affected
our current and former college athletes oh it says here names and likenesses in ea games such
as madden and nba live so it's currently awaiting final approval from a u.s district judge um claims
have been made against the ncaa ea and collegiate licensing company the nation's leading collegiate
trademark licensing and marketing firm so about 16 percent of eligible athletes for the 40 million
settlement including ea and the clc have filed claims 24 percent of the eligible athletes for
the 20 million dollar settlement against the ncaa have filed so i mean it's it's kind of pitiful
um the athletes will get most will get a thousand bucks in compensation and some will get uh 6700
or more or at all athletes who made a valid claim will receive at least 74 dollars and that's that's
pretty uh that's me pretty that's pretty that's pretty shameful the whole situation is really
gross and really ugly i don't madden and some nba games have college teams or draft boards you can
use so so there you go uh nick light to the rescue but the point is that it's yeah it's maybe a step
in the right direction i mean acknowledging that these people should be paid for whatever like the
fact that they have enough notoriety that someone wants to use their picture and include them in a
video game should be worth something you can't just be like sorry kid you know uh that's that's
tough the way that worked out for you but hey at least you got a shot to make it to the big time
i mean i mean you can and you know the thing is is like there's all these arguments for this you
know like i i'm like you can make the argument well the kids knew what they were getting
themselves into they knew they weren't going to be paid you know what bullshit because yeah they
they knew it but let's face it you know people going into the system aren't really given a choice
even if they even if they know it and a lot of the time people that sold themselves into slavery knew
that they were selling themselves into slavery yeah uh i mean and you know getting into like
speaking of injustices you know native americans here and i don't remember what the new politically
correct term is i frankly i don't care first nations native americans whatever it is the
people who were here already sold their land a lot of them not all and so did they did they
understand the terms of the contract probably not was that taking advantage of a situation probably
um i'm not i'm not a legal court and i'm not really going to get into a whole lot of depth
with that but the point is just because someone agrees to something doesn't necessarily make it
right that's my point um so i yeah i really think the whole college sports situation is really
crappy i i hate that a bunch of you know rich people are making a shed load of money on people
who aren't getting paid to like appear in games on tv when people are buying tickets to attend
these games it's like it's like yeah you should come be my backup singer at you know britney
spears concert because just the fact that your face is there is like good enough you should be
pleased for the opportunity to be on stage with you know me britney spears don't worry about
getting paid about it it's like you know what britney you can afford to pay your backup dancers
and and and backup dancers do get paid i'm not drawing a parallel here necessarily and
britney's probably doing fine yeah in terms of that conduct or maybe not i don't know who knows
i'm not i don't actually pay much attention to what britney spears is up to these days
nope nope is she still making music i legitimately don't know
um should we do a good news topic yeah let's do oh well i guess that wasn't it the next one
there was the next one neither was the next one uh neither is that one yeah there we go xcom 2
creative director says pc gaming is in a golden age all right so original article here is from
pcgamer.com there you go and that's an ad there we go wow i wonder if they are getting some money
from like path of exile i don't know it's i wonder if they could potentially put more ads on the page
like if they replace this main one right here that could work yeah with like path of exile yeah i
wonder if this highlights thing is path of exile it makes it really hard to because i like to scroll
with the arrow keys yes and i literally cannot find anywhere on this page where it's not the hand
how do i click anywhere what's gonna open if i click this oh no it's okay that's weird okay my
mouse pointer is broken it's okay so xcom 2 will be exclusive to the pc for a yeah okay variety of
reasons i'm doing it on my computer okay okay okay okay well we won't give them too much crap about
it hey they gotta make money and it ain't easy as a print publication these days totally totally
get that um so what do we have to say about that uh cool i don't know it's not that surprising to
be completely honest with the wave of next gen console stuff like not to pc master is like crazy
but this is something that i talked about before when xbox 360 and ps3 came out those were actually
rather impressive when they sold it to you they were taking a little bit of a loss and there was
kind of an understanding that most people knew that like okay the controller doesn't cost however
much money the controller is not going to cost 60 bucks so you buy the console it only comes with
one controller you buy one more maybe three more controllers and a bunch of games they make their
money back but at the beginning especially with like playstation 3 they were really not making
money off selling those consoles because they were actually good at the time the next gen consoles
were like they were making a fairly okay amount of money off each console that was sold and they
were kind of not great and a lot of the better experiences are coming to pc and a lot of really
competitive stuff is is pc if you think about it look at league of legends and dota yeah that's so
huge right now the competitive scene that giant arena in china um league of legends has its own
convention now twitch is mostly pc stuff twitch is huge twitch has their own convention now like pc
gaming and yeah i heard about that actually yeah yeah um yeah pc gaming is rocking it i don't know
indie games are huge on pc yeah there's a few very specific indie games that are starting to sell on
wii u better than steam which is really interesting i mean the funny thing is the big the big argument
against pc a lot of the time is it's expensive but in my mind the pc is the least expensive
it used to be it did used to be very it used to be very expensive it used to be but that's the
thing i don't get is that it it hasn't been that way for a really long time no because especially
with game cost and this is this is something that i think a lot of people a lot of people kind of
forget it's the whole you know what it actually there's an interesting parallel to the way that
our videos get released now where they come out a week early on vessel which is a paid platform and
then they come a week later on youtube which is not a paid platform it's an ad supported platform
so you can watch for free and so people kind of are like oh pc gaming is expensive uh you know
blah blah blah and it's like well hold on a second one of the great things about pc gaming
is directx is the fact that pc games are backwards compatible for years sometimes even decades
decades backwards and and forwards compatibility between a pc and a game is amazing so once you've
made an investment in a pc you can go back and play an enormous catalog of amazing gaming
experiences on the absolute freaking cheap like you can whether it's yeah whether it's picking
up used games on amazon or in the the bin at like i i was at a dvd rental store last week uh when i
was over on the island okay yeah where i guess they don't have internet there um and so they had
like they had like old games on a shelf for sale that no one was renting anymore because does
anyone rent games here anyway um yes so they had they had old games on a shelf and they had to
bc ones though whoa yeah so i was just like oh yeah but that's like really cheap there's like
two bucks or whatever um so that's a really cool thing about the pc and then the other thing is
that i think a lot of people forget that you don't have to buy a new computer that too scrapyard
yeah that was like the whole point of scrapyard wars for us it's like you can build like an
awesome gaming computer for 300 combo what was it the combo 380 dollar one where we put our two
computers together that one was actually sick yeah like actually destroyed a lot of modern benchmarks
so yeah and another thing is you legit don't have to spend any money at all uh what i think dota's
free pretty sure dota's free tf2 is free league of legends is free if you just get not to toot
ea's horn but if you just get an origin account and just idle it they just give you games
i got crusader no remorse on the house ea's on the house they just hand out games every once
in a while i have wanted to play that i actually bought a copy of that game back when my home
computer was like a 386 or like a pentium 75 or something yeah they're super old games but
honestly sometimes super old games are really good something i can't remember i had like anyway i
didn't have some kind of something i needed i wasn't super tech savvy because i was like
nine or whatever however old i was at the time i bought a copy of that game at london drugs and i
never got to play it so i as soon as i saw that was like a free offer on origin i was like yeah
i am going to play this this time that's awesome and someone brought up those are crappy games they
kind of are but there's zero dollars and they're a full game that doesn't have microtransactions
and team fortress 2 isn't a crappy game and team fortress 2 is great league of legends is really
fun dota's also free i mean we did talk last week on wenshow about how both of us liked tf2 before
it went free to play and i agree but but it's free which is good for some people i don't know
yeah all right so uh i still feel a little bit gypped that i bought it and now it's a free to
play game i know you didn't mean this because you probably don't know uh this is something that i
actually didn't know until recently gypped is actually a racial slur what yeah it refers to
gypsies so i'm sure you used it unintentionally and i just wanted to call out we have nothing
against gypsies here at linus media group at all i had no idea most people don't a lot of those
like i know the actual term and wow yep wow all right and the i i have one of my best friends
has heavy gypsy lineage so i actually didn't find out until someone else in my high school
like humanities class got screamed at by the teacher for saying it not realizing it and i
was like sitting there going like oh i say that a lot that could have just as easily been me
because i had no idea like and it's one of those like my dad was from a different generation like
my dad said it all the time like you know oh that deal was uh many people say it i know it's one of
those things where it managed to make itself into a social norm but probably shouldn't and more
awareness of it is probably better um so yeah maybe avoid that one yeah no that's cool
that's cool all right the more you know
so microsoft is cutting 7 800 jobs from its hardware division original article here is
from the verge less funny um yeah so they write off 7.6 billion from the nokia deal
and announced 7 800 job cuts so uh ceo didn't want to waste any time dropping the company's
previous focus on devices and services after he was appointed as chief executive last year
so that is uh it's you know there is something to be said for working for a small company the
way we do where everyone has a face and a name if you fired 7 800 people that would be impossible
yeah and like if i was just like yeah we're gonna move in a different direction we're not gonna
we're not gonna like okay let's say i did do something drastic because you can even look at
linus media group as like like a micro example of a company like we're a small company but like
you know we've got video production and then we've got like our own branded content that we
sell advertising against and then we've got our website and then we've got like um i'm sure we
do other things okay we mostly just make videos but and have a website but the point is if one
day i was like okay we're not gonna do we're not gonna do like paid video production anymore like
uh retail edge for example i don't know how many of you're familiar with retail edge but
i host some of the video content on intel retail edge it's completely a closed ecosystem but like
you'll see me over there and sometimes it's very similar to content that we also release on youtube
but it's ad supported anyway if i was like okay we're not gonna do that anymore it would be like
one person sixty percent of whose time i would reallocate to like something else or more or if
i was like okay we're not gonna have a website anymore you wouldn't have any trouble filling
your days with things to do literally nothing would change so so like i would probably just
be like slightly more productive in the ways of making videos but can you imagine if we had
eight thousand people working on like you know the linus tech tips game or something like that
you were just like nah and like the board of directors boots me out and they're like
linus tech tips game are you serious who's this linus guy he doesn't even work here anymore
blap that's how easily it can happen it's like you know strategic changes to the company it
doesn't matter how good of a job you were doing isn't that crazy that is kind of crazy and like
i fully understand the bail i fully understand them being like yeah maybe we shouldn't be making
phones so much like i get it but damn that's a lot of people yeah so blah blah blah this change
will enable us to deliver better products and services that our customers love at a more rapid
pace um yeah so i mean acquisitions man tell me something yeah if linus media group got acquired
which is not happening every time i bring this up on my end show i feel like i have to say it's
not happening um would you worry about like losing your job i would move to norway you'd move to
norway why norway i liked norway okay i guess that's i really don't like the heat canada is way too hot
for me right i was in norway close to winter i think it was technically winter but it wasn't
like the cold part of winter yet yeah and it was wonderful that said it's pretty nice here that
time of year too yeah i know but like i don't think it gets that hot in norway no or iceland
you know what it's not supposed to get it's not supposed to get that hot here that's true but
this summer has been breaking all kinds of records we've got fires all over the place for the last
like four days i haven't been able to take my baby outside because there's like uh forest fires and
all this particulate matter in the air and like like we look out the window here and it's kind
of like it's foggy all the time like it's actually it's pretty sketch at the moment scandinavia there
we go scandinavia i would move to just somewhere in scandinavia i might not be using the right word
because there's a lot of different words for i know including different because like there's
the nordics and then there's like scandinavia i think i think they're both regions of multiple
countries in that area the point is we love you all great hockey players um watch dogs backlash
started a policy change at ubisoft says ceo so original article here is from kit guru did it
because it didn't really seem to change much well they haven't done anything that bad recently
wasn't that was pretty bad i think they were around the same time okay yeah i mean to call
it just the watchdogs debacle or just the unity debacle that was like the digging time you know
yeah it's like oh yeah yeah okay so it was which stroke of the shovel it was
watchdogs was like summer and then unity was like winter right i you know i frankly don't remember
it was like late summer and early winter or late fall and late summer or something i don't remember
but i think yeah i think i'll look it up but close i don't think they were the exact same
time but i think they were close i could totally be wrong let's see
okay november 11th 2014 was assassins creed and then may 27th 2014 was watchdogs so june july
august september october november so they were seven months apart um oh it's funny that they
would specifically call out the watchdogs one because they were both pretty pretty yeah pretty
debacle they were uh well anyway anyway so let's let's let's call that whole time period
the watchdogs time yeah um sure do you don't do you not think it's fair to i just achieved my move
goal wow yeah apple apple watches uh i was actually sitting writing my review and i i was
playing with a feature that i hadn't used which is like a workouts feature or something like that so
you're like i'm gonna go vigorously walk and i'm gonna i want to burn this many calories let me
know when i'm done which is like i don't know it feels kind of backwards couldn't i just i guess
it just happened yeah couldn't i just go for a 30-minute walk and then it could tell me how many
calories i burned and then i could be a super smart person and extrapolate from there i i don't
know anyway the point is while i was sitting writing my review i realized that i had reached
like four percent of my goal of walking and i was literally sitting at a computer there's that
problem with fitbit too like it'll think you're like running potentially if you're like shaking
a drink this is funny you have reached your move goal having an active day has definitely paid off
minus screw off like just screw off my apple watch review is uh like i i am working really hard i've
actually spent a few hours writing it so far and that's that's not including all the time i've
spent with the device and any notes that i've been making uh i i'm like that's a few hours of just
writing like like 1500 words like it's not even a lot it's just rearranging and
figuring out what's going to go in and what's going to get cut because i've only got like
eight minutes to keep the viewer's attention in in our format and i've spent a long time on this
trying to avoid turning it into a rant and i reread what is about a 70 completion script
and boy is it ever negative this is a super stupid product everything that i thought was
wrong with it is wrong with it and more that i couldn't have possibly predicted like i'm not
going to give away everything but because i want you guys to watch the review but someone in chat
was like apple watch equals ellen powell oh well at least the apple watch didn't sue its former
employer oh we might need to be careful leading to i might be under fire she did though it's a fact
that's true like what am i supposed to say i don't know i just don't want to get blamed for
defamation or something um well the thing about the like the thing about the apple watch is that
it it doesn't even do like i don't know if i mind the home screen i'm considering a dedicated video
about why the apple watch is objectively the worst possible smartwatch where i just take
one page of apple.com which is all the things the apple watch does and point out all the
problems with every single one of those things it's an interesting idea it's pretty brutal like
one thing i've been playing with lately this is this is going to be a weird conversation that
we usually have not on camera yeah sure go for it is doing things in the review instead of just
talking like with the structure sensor instead of just being like this mode worked pretty well
b-roll blah blah blah blah i was like okay let's scan taran let's scan a room let's do that kind of
stuff so it could be cool so i mean it's it's it's like here here's a stupid thing i miss i
still have to figure it out well they're still not going to be able to see that so don't worry
too much about it they'll imagine it so there's a photos icon on the home screen which do you
love how quickly brutal do you love how quickly it turns off what yeah it's like i'm in the middle
of stuff here like can you not just turn off immediately thanks looking for something like
there's a lot of iphones on screen if you're looking for something you could definitely
it's gone wow and it's gone so i'm gonna click on that there's one picture on here and i don't know
why there's only one i don't know why i can't browse the rest of my camera roll right like i
and i'll figure it out before i publish the review but there's another thing like um this is great
so i don't expect i know that apple and google aren't necessarily best of friends so i don't
expect um you know google play music to necessarily be supported with like uh a
music control corresponding app on the on the watch i don't expect that but you know someone
like and i and i know that app support for the watch is coming but that's not till the fall and
apple expects you to buy this today what about stuff like sonos which is like you know a very
apple-esque type company they're pretty aligned with the apple way why is there absolutely no
ability to control anything other than the itunes music player not only that but when music is
playing like it is it is straight up a bad music remote which is one of the big things that i use
a smart watch for yeah and pebbles best for this because of the tactile buttons but i can live with
google's implementation because the first card on screen with an android wear device is always
music playback control so you swipe up swipe right i can do it without looking at it and then
it's four quadrants of the screen that well you wouldn't have any more than four quadrants no
matter what but uh it's quadrants of the screen that are volume up and down and forward and back
for tracks okay so it's like you can actually do it without looking at it the apple watch you have
to actually like navigate to music control are you for real i mean all right so something something
ubisoft back on topic um says they were they were uh caught out by the complexity of the watchdogs
project the large open city environment multiplayer rating feature and second screen
functionality it's a real challenge to create those types of games when they come out especially
the first iterations they're not perfect on everything and it was maybe a bit too much
for a first attempt um and says that reactions to watchdogs uh have to the demo fiasco so that
was where they changed the visual quality have reshaped the company's approach to showing off
pre-release games so hasn't necessarily changed the approach to actually developing the games
but has definitely changed the approach to not show you something super shiny beforehand
which honestly i'm cool with that i want a realistic representation that's why i went like
oh this was a big debate like everywhere was when the fallout 4 footage came out
you're like oh this game looks old oh my god and it's like well they didn't over show you stuff
yeah it's probably exactly what it's gonna look like it's not out yet it could look worse
but i kind of doubt it and it looks totally fine so maybe we shouldn't hate on them for it so that
they don't try to fib in the future i forget i know we talked about this are you a fallout person
fallout yeah super okay yeah definitely all right so uh this our original source for the next one
is from ub group and it's funny the good timing for this is really good because we had actually
mentioned last week that um that ubisoft's earnings on pc had really increased in the last
couple of years to the point where it was like looking like a legitimate platform that they
should probably spend some time developing a while ago like yeah we don't really make that
much money on pc yep so in uh in the last quarter uh so first quarter of 2015 2016 fiscal year
playstation 4 accounted for 27 of ubisoft's game sales which is actually really really interesting
in itself that a next-gen console is uh has overtaken pc that's uh that's pretty incredible
playstation 4 really did win didn't it um that said microsoft has stuff coming they have cloud
stuff coming that looks pretty bananas it's just been coming for so long yeah that all of a sudden
it's just kind of a mess like the dildo race like the dildo race stay tuned for the dildo race what
is a dildo race you'll find out um so the playstation 4 accounted for 27 with the pc at
23 the x bone at 11 and the x 360 and ps3 each at 11 at three percent i'm happy that the they
don't really do much for i wish someone other than nintendo could make a game for a nintendo
indeed i mentioned this a little bit earlier indie games are getting much bigger on wii u recently
which is pretty cool um it's interesting like great pc is doing awesome that's really good
i find it interesting that ps4 is doing 27 expo is only doing 11 that's huge yeah
poor microsoft oh no maybe that's why they're trying to bring more stuff to pc
because xbox is failing i wonder if xbox is doing a lot better if they would actually be pushing in
the way that i do wonder it seems like they want to focus platforms yeah maybe that's maybe that's
what we're seeing or maybe we're just seeing the results of a decision that was made a really long
time ago i mean it's no secret that a modern triple-a title takes years to develop so that's
true there you go uh oh right sponsors linda.com with absolutely no segue whatsoever linda.com
linda.com because things that can take a little while but are extremely beneficial
learning yeah thank you uh you should expand your knowledge so for those lamborghinis here
wow i'm not even that proud of this lamborghini i'm proud of the knowledge that i keep in this box
i get a new box every day every day i get a new box and i read that box and i tell you guys about
it and he had to build a computer every day but i know that he could research things on linda.com
i'm much more proud of that box than i am of you know this t-shirt for that's actually okay
whatever linda.com the place to learn online they've got experts they've got video courses
courses they've got an app everyone has an app you can make notes and then go back to those notes
you can see your notes on that video that you watch you can make custom playlists you can
download them and watch them offline you can share them with your friends with your other
friends on linda.com you could have like a linda.com party a team linda.com should pay us
for come well they do pay us but linda.com should pay us specifically for coming up with the idea
of a linda party they should have it's like tupperware parties but like learning can you
limbo at the linda party while you learn i think you could i think the idea is that everything at
a linda party should be a new and learning experience yeah uh so anyway the uh the plan
started only 25 a month head over to linda.com slash wan show for the 10 day all you can eat
free trial uh our other sponsor are you done it's ready you're done all right our other sponsor is
squarespace and we are putting them on the spot today now those of you who watch when show
regularly and do actually watch the sponsor spot sometimes there are some hidden gems in them
there was a gem two weeks ago where we thought luke's mom's site was on squarespace and it
turned out that it wasn't and you guys rushing to check out luke's mom's site uh crashed it
and that was a big problem so squarespace um because luke told me it was on squarespace so
then when i thought it crashed i was like holy crap we crashed a squarespace site how did this
even happen uh so because we didn't we didn't so squarespace has state-of-the-art tools that make
it easy to create your own beautiful customizable website that works great on a phone great on a
computer and starting at eight dollars a month has scalable plans that will keep your site up
so you are not spending your time you know figuring out website development when actually
what you want to do is do completely different things like you know sell your artsy crafty
things that you made or have a great looking portfolio well we are going to try again this
time it really is on squarespace and boom how do i pronounce this cali bags online
so it has been ported to squarespace accoutrement and accoutrement oh scroll up there we go so we
can go to the store we've got like tribal earrings or something yeah the refined collection the
crochet cape wow your your mom's really getting into the lake they make a lot of stuff interesting
yeah double tassel this is like some pretty artsy stuff going on here yeah the renaissance bag wow
some of this stuff is not cheap no interesting yeah so is this all like handmade it's all one
off yeah oh that's i think why it's expensive i don't understand like fashion or handmade things
at all right stuff is like a graphics card they made a lot of them and they all look the same
right so okay we can hey we can sort by rare finds and oddities also like you could find this stuff
rare finds like sometimes they'll find something very interesting and then build something around
it or on top of it or whatever to make it right more and better okay so we can go to the blog
and thankfully i remember the first time we did this where we legitimately had the whole
land show audience bum rush a squarespace site to prove that it wouldn't go down the first time i
was nervous today i was mostly not nervous i was only a little bit nervous because like you never
know what can go wrong will go wrong yeah uh but no no the site is snappy and responsive and that
is your dog yep i love your dog this is this is chloe yeah and chloe is super clever uh she can
play a game where you go and then she like lays over and pretends to be dead my favorite one is
if you put a tubware on the floor with the opening up she'll put all of her feet in it and kind of
sit there if you put it with the opening down she'll walk up and play the drums on it if you
sit forward on the couch she'll come up behind you and scratch your back if you sneeze she'll go
get you a tissue it's kind of fantastic my mom's a crazy dog trainer so yeah your mom does all kinds
of things everything from dog training to to creating a bags and accoutrements like accoutrement
promen whatever bags bags company so uh there you go huge thanks to uh whoops huge thanks to uh luke
for helping his mom she did require a little bit help right a little bit okay and huge thanks to
uh to luke's mom for actually deciding not to use which whatever she was using before i can't
remember and getting on squarespace like her son advised her to i have to thank travis as well
travis helped me a bunch there yeah oh man so uh there you go yeah all right so this is interesting
apple watch demand has apparently fallen quote unquote a lot are you calling this out in your
review or no uh i may talk about it a little bit but honestly i think um i think this is a bit of
a sensationalist headline the apple watch is in a really weird spot where it's a first generation
product that has a new operating system that was announced but isn't coming until the fall
and that is quite expensive like this is like an 800 watch which is to me absolutely ridiculous
that's far more than i have ever spent on the smartwatch 3 that i was reviewing was 135 bucks
or something i think you said it was 180 or something it was under 200 for a long time i
don't know if it still is but the whole time i was writing the review which was like a month
it was that price it has literally all the same functionality probably better um and for some
things yeah um so anyway it looks like there's been this is based on us numbers only but it
looks like there has been a significant decrease in demand uh in the month of june so i don't know
if i want to read too much also just a little bit how products go though and and that is another
thing to consider it's a little bit just kind of how things go especially a fairly niche-y kind
of product yeah i mean apple doesn't want it to be niche they want it to be like that's true the
next thing that absolutely everyone has and you know they've done it they've done a really good
job of some aspects of it i just um oh this is interesting uh slice intelligence says 66
percent have been the least expensive sport model of the sales so far and just two thousand units
of the apple watch edition have been sold in the us honestly i'm surprised they sold two thousand
i was gonna say wasn't the addition like stupid expensive i'm not surprised that they didn't sell
that many yeah ten thousand dollars yeah oh some of them are more really yeah some of them are more
it depends on which one you want like if you want like the rose gold one with this or the yellow
gold one with that and they've got different straps and stuff like that it's it's it's all
it's all kind of ridiculous so tell us this let's straw pull the crap out of this straw pull
i wonder if straw pull knows who we are i have no idea so our p okay what's going on with the apple
watch people there's a new version of straw pull coming people are cluing in how do you spell
cluing oh no no e cluing in that it's not that great natural um sales decay after like a big
hype launch um what are some other options turnip turnip has to be an option you know what let's
just let's just go with uh you know natural sales decay after launch and or people are
cluing in that it's not that great i want to hear what you guys think and i am posting that in the
twitch chat now whoops that didn't work i did not i did not go in that thing um okay so let's move
on to our next topic while people vote on that particular one right there AMD has lowered their
there's all bad news out of AMD right now AMD lowers revenue expectations because of poor APU
sales you know the funny thing is is intel's like doing the same thing and like it all comes down
to that whole the enthusiasts are telling you what they want the enthusiasts are the only ones that
get like excited about products and buy them for fun and we keep not listening to them we keep
making APUs and we keep making but this one's the exact same speed but that's okay because the
graphics core is awesome but the power consumption is so much better so uh poor APU sales and more
more bad news out of AMD it just cost them what was it 33 million it just cost them 33 million to
cancel their 20 nanometer hold on their 20 nanometer commitments with uh TSMC if i recall
correctly AMD officially cancels 20 nanometer chips and uh hold on original article here's
from kit guru i can't remember who it's with so this is like a big big problem
as a blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah AMD did not reveal when it plans to
roll out its first chips we made using global foundries 14 nanometer finfette manufacturing
technology or TSMC 16 nanometer finfette however it is evident that the cancellation
of a mer and Nolan means that AMD will have nothing new to offer for tablets
uh based on the upcoming windows 10 in the coming months ah blah blah blah blah blah blah so AMD
will not as well does such decision by TSMC and blah blah blah etc etc etc so yeah TSMC has
designed its 20 nanometer manufacturing technology primarily for mobile system on chips and that
means AMD will not produce a single chip using the cln 20 soc whereas nvidia will only use it for one
soc the tegra x1 so it's it's really interesting the way the technology is changing where you have
to kind of decide as you're developing a new manufacturing process are we optimizing for power
consumption or are we optimizing for bigger chips or smaller chips or or or whatever else the case
may be and the fact that AMD no longer owns its own fabs means that someone else's strategic
direction in terms of developing manufacturing process um will affect AMD's ability to bring
certain products to market i'm just trying to find the uh the quote real men have fabs uh who said
this that was uh someone sanders the third i can't it was one of AMD's uh hold on yep jerry sanders
the third said real men have fabs um and that that didn't work for AMD they just couldn't handle the
financial burden of continuing to develop new manufacturing processes and they are now just
kind of at the mercy of outside the whole twitch channel real men have fire poles one that have
fire poles real firemen have fire poles some some except the ones that don't because my brother's
hall does not have one even for firefighters like a fire pole is not necessarily faster
what if you just had a single story building
and you didn't have to go downstairs or poles at all or just like optimize your building layout
a little bit all right so ibm has unveiled the world's first seven nanometer chip with a silicon
germanium channel and euv lithography ibm crosses the 10 nanometer barrier this is some next level
stuff this is actually insane because for the first time in as long as i can sort of conveniently
remember intel is not completely alone out in front leading the charge i thought you're gonna
say a single digit nanometer oh that that's definitely the first time so yeah we have no
idea on costs we have no idea on timelines i don't even care they did it they did that's super cool
so they were working with global foundries remember this is the spin-off from amd now
separate company they worked with samsung state university of new york and various equipment
suppliers and produced the first seven nanometer chip with functional transistors commercial chips
remain at least two years away which is probably optimistic this i'm sure like 99 sure this won't
happen because ibm is like super not a consumer facing company but would it be interesting in
like six years from now if you were installing ibm CPUs and computers i i i i don't see it you
know no no because they're not a consumer facing i don't think they yeah i don't think they even
want i don't think they want to either they spun off their their their their chip manufacturing
two global foundries yeah like they they just seem to want no part of it other than they just
want to do industrial enterprise stuff which like apparently they're doing very well with that so
sure yeah so uh blah blah it's still important since it's the first commercial yeah it's okay
so it doesn't matter that we're not going to see chips based on it for quite a while because it's
it's the first commercially viable sub 10 nanometer finfet logic chip uh using silicon
germanium as a channel material rather than just silicon so silicon's days have been numbered for
a long time yeah it looks like they're officially over um due to the incredibly tight stacking so
this is a 30 nanometer transistor pitch ibm claims a surface area reduction of close to 50
percent over today's 10 nanometer processes now this is something that most people don't know not
all x nanometer whether we're talking about 20 nanometer or 34 nanometer or whatever not
all manufacturing processes at each node are created equal there are other factors at play
here that can affect the density of the chip the efficiency of the transistors the heat output
and all those kinds of things so it's not enough to just create a seven nanometer chip that doesn't
necessarily mean you're going to get a 50 size reduction you have to actually work on other
things as well so higher electron mobility is part of what makes silicon germanium more
suitable than silicon for smaller transistors and i mean a lot of this is like super technical
details that might not have too much relevance to most of our viewers but the point is it's not over
the race to smaller and more efficient and more powerful is not over for at least a couple of
years we are going to see significant improvements over the next couple of years because the
technology barriers continue to be broken down thank you ibm and global foundries and all those
folks super awesome when i read this in the in the thing i was like oh this is going to be a
rumor mill site and it's going to be crap and there's going to be no actual information it's
going to be some dude like plotting a graph and being like they probably are doing this right now
and then it wasn't and that's super fantastic microsoft presents groove music streaming service
so we'll go ahead and uh we'll pull this off of microsoft.com slash groove dash music that seems
like as good a primary source as you can have for something huh the apple watch says it's time to
stand up so it's funny it goes from telling me that i'm exercising you're doing a great job
linus good job moving today yeah to telling me that i need to stand up and move a little for
one minute you're not doing so much linus you need to stand up more what are you doing so
basically this is your watch this is just hey linus you have an email you like to change the
song okay boop that would actually read the person that would be kind of a funny sketch you know
it's like the smart person the smart watch it's like you know what everything my smart watch does
i could do just as easily with a butler that's why smart watches are stupid that is why apple
can't sell ten thousand dollar smart watches it's because they just want because anyone who can
afford a ten thousand dollar watch could just hire a freaking butler to change a song
hey siri actually sir my name is arthur hey siri you're siri if i tell you to be siri
you go for a run and he has to like run beside you and if you're like next song it's like
take take your phone out of your pocket and like boop put it back in no no he should be holding no
no you have a bluetooth link to his phone there you go so he stops for a minute changes the song
and then has to kind of sprint to catch up i kind of wish we made this video we can we still could
yeah we still could smart watch smart watch butler edition yeah hmm fantastic okay uh
okay so lose setting off an email yeah i'm gonna do it i really want to do this smart watch or like
like apple watch butler i'm gonna cover something real quick while you're doing that that probably
most people watching this know already ellen powe has resigned from her former role as the interim
ceo of reddit she's been replaced with one of the co-founders actually steve huffman um founder and
original reddit ceo actually he's returning uh they were saying that he's like the benchmark of
a ceo that they were looking for and they were looking around and then he was available so they
got the benchmark there was a lot of bragging stuff going on and that's cool um apparently it
was a mutual decision uh basically powe and the rest of the chair people were in non-agreements
about uh reddit user growth and all this kind of stuff so they split ways so yeah yeah even in her
leaving the company i don't think all of the hatred was actually recognized wrecked
yep okay so right groove groove music service let's go back to that um so basically it's just
a rebranding of xbox music which is a rebranding of zoom music i kind of wish they'd just gone back
to zoom i liked zoom yeah you're the zoom good nap uh yeah yeah it was awesome yeah i loved it
there was like a few minor things that i would have liked to change that's it like i i thought
it was just the biggest like butt head move ever to call it xbox yeah like i i guess the xbox is
entertainment no xbox is games yeah you've worked so hard to make xbox games why don't you just let
it be games and we can just call music zoom or apparently um groove groove
just keep naming it different things hotmail no outlook air explorer no i don't actually know what
it is anymore she just stuck with project spartan yeah i like spartan yeah i can't remember what
it's called anymore either spartan was cool you know the thing about the the whole the whole
rebranding thing is that particularly the outlook one really drives me crazy and like i understand
why uh why sky drive changed to one drive yeah it was actually like a trademark and why we do that
what was it metro tiles no yeah metro tiles metro tiles yeah changed to modern ui or metro ui um
in this case it just seems kind of ridiculous and in the case of the outlook one it just seems
kind of ridiculous and in the case of the outlook one it just caused confusion yeah because you have
a program called outlook and then you have like a webmail interface that literally has nothing to
do with that program except that you could if you set it up have this mail show up in that program
and sync but you could also have a different service in it or a different client so that was
confusing and groove music is just like the word groove did anything good ever have groovy in the
name groovy baby yeah austin powers was kind of a good movie i can't even do it right i mean okay
straw poll can you think of anything good that was called groove or groovy other than anything
that austin powers ever defined yeah groovy or good like like i'm talking like the official name
like it has to be like like a company or a product or something now i need to google this and get
examples of things called groove google's just gonna be like a groove is a thing you know that
no that's not what i'm talking about groovy groove is a sense of propulsive rhythmic feel or sense
that's actually the first definition i'm surprised actually did you type it with a capital no huh
interesting so there's already something called groove all right so you guys let us know is groove
just a stupid name for anything really that was funny anything good groovy so we got turnip
winning we've got yes coming in second and we've got what what is most people disagree with me
most people disagree with me so there you go most people do not agree with linus today and
that's fine linus can accept that groove shark groove shark groove shark what wasn't that
something else groove shark
groove shark a new groove shark is online is streaming okay so it was a
what is this web-based music streaming service that's really similar to something called groove
oh dear music fans today we are shutting down grooveshark there you go so shut down in 2015
so that timing was good yep for microsoft if they really really really really wanted to use the word
groove in their online music streaming service name uh what can we say about it so
blah blah renaming xbox music was originally part of the zoom music management software though they
distance it after the failure they experienced with the zoom device changed over to xbox music
with the release of windows 8 um didn't get much traction since it only offered game music from
what was only available on the xbox 360 didn't work on smartphones well now being renamed to
groove music with the same pricing model 999 a month or a hundred dollars a year no info on
whether they will release a family plan and currently an app within windows 10 no new features
to announce or as of yet aside from the ability to play music uploaded to one drive which you're
you're a google music person i am what do you think what do i think i think it's more expensive
than google music with absolutely nothing compelling about it to make me want to switch to it
cool in line with microsoft's new direction of service as a service company yeah that's fine i
guess it's just like you know apple at least did something and it's funny because we gave
apple crap about not really innovating at least they've got like their thing about artists
engaging with fans because apple's social network now or something uh but at least they had something
microsoft is literally taking something that wasn't successful calling it groove and then like
now they're expecting android and ios versions sometime soon after windows 10 which is also soon
so i don't even know why they're talking about it at all right now they should just be avoiding
talking about it and they super miss the boat like everybody else is already doing very well
well remember too like even if you missed the boat and you capture three percent of the online music
streaming service revenue it's still going to be it's still going to be you know a positive thing
yeah um is it six o'clock already six o'clock already wow i want to talk about it
six o'clock already wow what have we even talked about on the we honestly covered like most of the
dog we you know the funny thing is is there wasn't even really that much no um and you know i've
noticed that about the land show recently we've just it's just kind of been whatever it slows
down during this time of year so we got to fill it in a little bit more okay when japan and us
not the actual countries companies within the countries are going to be dueling giant robots
did you hear about this yes yeah this should have been not in rapid fire yeah this is like kind of
awesome in fact the fastest possible that i filmed today i i referenced that i actually wasted like
30 seconds of a fast as possible just talking about that robot battle that's coming because
i think is awesome yeah because fast as possible is only like three and a half to four minutes of
actual content so it's like an eighth of the video i think it's interesting though that like the
japan robot looks like it would beat the crap out of something in a melee contest
probably because japan likes melee and katanas and stuff then the american ones like
america really likes guns canada and the japanese guys were like let's do melee i'm like oh i
realize that would be way cooler to watch but like yeah i also get why you're asking that melee is
gonna be way cooler to watch i'm stoked for that but like the americans might lose now apparently
people prefer the less focused wan show lately where we just are apparently just talking about
whatever so there you go that's a thing um speaking of just talking about whatever i think
the show is pretty much over but i have something pretty exciting um edzel has made some very
interesting headway on the new workflow for our video production so i will be installing a couple
of virtualized instances of windows 8 we may not even need a server os anymore okay of windows 8
on the uh 36 core server and seeing if we might have a workflow that involves multiple instances
of adobe media encoder rather than a five thousand dollar piece of software and we may be able to
achieve the same performance and in the case of adobe premiere because a big problem with the
footage that we have now is it's really hard to edit with because it skips around as well
around as you scrub through the timeline like you you'll see like freeze frames here and there
as you're as you're scrubbing through well we're going to be using a different codec and um
this new workflow that we're working on gives us better performance in premiere faster overall
video export times and could potentially cost us actually very little so i'm excited yeah i'm
excited to check that out that's cool and i'm excited for all 6500 of you i think we actually
peaked a little bit higher than that all 6500 of you that tuned into the wan show today thank you
all very much and we will see you again on wan show next week same bat time same bat channel
also by then you may have seen the video with the toys dildo racing
ah oh yeah this outro oh what the heck just happened linda.com is this it okay we're done
here goodbye squarespace oops oh crap where's the linda one there linda
