It's a WAN Show time! Or it was, half an hour ago.
Yeah. A little bit more than that actually. 35 minutes ago.
Okay. You gotta tweet that out.
Do you want to hear? Oh yeah, I got this, I got this.
I don't know what we're talking about. Exciting.
Um, yeah, tweets. I would have done the Wilhelm scream if I could do it.
Facebooks is... Facebooks is... No, that's not it.
No, it's hard to do. Yeah, it is hard to do.
No, you know what, forget it. It's so crazy dramatic.
I know, it's fantastic. Oh boy. Do you even want to hear the
excuse today or are we just like done? It happens every time.
Are you just done with my excuses? Was it that?
Um, the... No, no, no, that actually wasn't really anything to do with it.
Okay, sure, then I want to know the excuse. Okay, so the excuse this time
was that, um, wait, what was I doing? Hold on, oh no, no, it was
super boring. You know, one of the side effects of like, you know that
recent video we uploaded, the Dolby one? Yeah. There's a lot of comments like
bring Luke back and stuff. One of the side effects of not showing up is
everyone seems to love me. I know, right? Twitch chat is like all
over me right now and the comments on that video, like a huge run of the top
ones are about me. Thank you, I appreciate it. Maybe I should just never come back.
You know what? Then people just love me forever until they completely forget
about me. Yeah, I was gonna say that's the part, that's the part that comes after
that you might not be thinking about. Yeah. Maybe I'll go away for a month.
Yeah, oh god, um. What do you think that would be like?
Bad? If Linus Tech Tips just had no Linus for a month.
James loves being on camera. Yeah. I think,
you know, we could just have, um, we could have Brandon do like, you know, a
motherboard review. He might not have the same street cred. I would love that.
You know, I like Brandon's, I like Brandon's style. I like John's style.
Yeah, I don't think John likes hosting though.
I talked to him about it today actually. We, we had, we had a chat about it.
And I, well, I don't know. I'm not going to speak for him in any way because if
he wants to speak for himself then he needs to get in front of the camera and
speak for himself. Oh my. So that's totally up to him. Okay. But I will say my side, my
side was that I encouraged him. I, I, I like his style
personally. I think he's a good host. I would rather watch Tech Quickie with
John hosting than watch with me hosting. So I, I like it. I think he's awesome.
Um, Twitch, Twitch chat's freaking out about
someone in chat. They Only Love You When You're Gone sounds like a bad country
song. It sort of does. You know what? She only loves me
when I'm gone, twang, twang, twang.
Twang, twang, twang. I think you can make that work.
Okay. I don't think I've ever heard anyone vocalize that word.
You know you like air guitar and be like I've never heard it. Twang, twang, twang.
That's what it sounds like. I don't make the rules.
I want a guitar that like isn't actually a guitar. It's just, it has like touch
sensitive strings and then there's a speaker on the inside. Yeah. And it just
goes like twang, twang, twang, twang, twang, twang, twang.
That would be a great gag gift.
One of those bad auto-tune things where it's just like a flat voice recording of
you saying twang and then it's, and then it's just, it's just adjusted up. Oh,
that'd be great. Like the cows in Diablo 2. Is that aging
is that aging myself now? Yeah. Cow level? Yeah.
Yeah, a little bit. Mind you, I mean, okay, hold on.
Yes, that is a cow is what the sorcerer says in Diablo 1 if you click on the cow
enough times. Yeah. So if you were dating yourself, then I married myself.
Yeah, that was all for that setup. I also played the hell out of Diablo 1.
We used to play two player on one character. Yeah. Okay. So like I would
control like movement and attack or my buddy would do that. And then the other
person was on like consumables. Yeah. Yeah. It was fricking awesome, dude.
Oh man. Shout out to Devin. Shout out to Devin. Yeah. Shout out to meow, meow. I'm
a cow. All right. So we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today.
Actually, we've got like nothing, nothing happened this week. There's the scandal
with OnePlus collecting user data. There's whether or not Apple throttles old iPhones.
There's what's coming out on floatplane. Heck yeah. There's actually really cool
things like scrapyard wars. Actually there's two episodes live on floatplane right now.
And there will be a third. This weekend. Yeah. Yeah. There you go.
Airbnb is apparently constructing an apartment building. Cause that's what we're going to talk
about. Hold on, hold on, hold on. A lot of other news. I'm posting the link to where to join
floatplane so that people can go watch. I was trying to post the link and then all the
authentication came and hit me like a ton of bricks because that's the world we live in. Yep.
You have to have all of those things. You have to have all the passwords and all
the authentications and all the, Oh, I entered it wrong and all the, this could take. And I got it.
You know how tempted I was. That's cool. I just entered it wrong again. I, I swear.
I mean, it's in the chat now. I swear the last pass text entry field.
I swear it doesn't take characters in order sometimes. Cause it's like,
you know, it's kind of leggy in general. Like it takes a long time to open it.
And sometimes they take a while to like, I swear there's times when I enter it.
Right. And it just doesn't take it. Tell me something. Okay. You're more of a security guy
than me. Okay. Tell me something. Yeah. Would it be a reasonable and or effective
security measure for them to occasionally reject the correct password
and just make you type it again? I don't really think so. Well, okay.
So let's say someone was using a dictionary attack. Would a dictionary attack ever try
the same thing twice, but then it only does it occasionally. Well, no. Okay. Let's say if it,
let's say every time it was from a new IP or a new device, it would actually just like
not work because, but then people doing that dictionary attack would know that why
if it just said, if it just said invalid password, I'm pretty sure people would figure it out.
You think so? That it's like auto rejecting, correct passwords.
I'm pretty sure that would be like posted somewhere pretty quickly. Okay. I feel like
that's, that's figure outable. Okay. I was just curious. I'm just discoverable tactic. I don't,
I don't think it would be super effective. So it would be like having extra layers.
So it would be kind of like, hold on, hold on. Water on plant is like, it's like kind of
effective water on plant. Yeah. I can't remember. I don't think it did very much.
I thought that was like weaker. Wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah. But like it works though. It's not,
it's not like, Oh, it's not electric against rock. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't
remember what that's actually. I don't remember what the exact phrase that they say is, but
Oh no. There's a Twitch beta. That was me. Not you. There's a Twitch beta. Do I continue to beta?
Oh man. I feel like my whole life is about continuing to beta.
Wow. Will I ever be an alpha loop ever? I think you have alpha traits. Alpha traits. Thank you.
Well, that's appreciated. You're a leader. You run a company. Yeah, but I run like a, like a,
like a tech YouTube company. You still run a company. Okay. That's true. You started it.
You took the risk to start the company. I don't think that if someone ran at you with a bat,
you're suddenly not alpha anymore. Yeah. I think outside of that, outside of physical
confrontation, I think you're quite, Oh, thank you. I mean, if we're okay. If we're,
if we're going all the way back to like, you know, the, the, the, the primal, you know,
alpha beta designation, then like, but there are alpha traits that are social. Doesn't the stick
like pretty much summarize it. Isn't that the whole point? But there are alpha traits that
are so you do quite well in that regard. I appreciate that. That's very nice. No problem.
Um, Oh man. What else do we have for topics today? Uh, intro. Yeah. Wow.
It's rumored. It's just a rumor. That's an interesting discussion though. Yeah.
If nothing else, apparently I'm a master beta, which sounds amazing.
I want to be a master beta all day.
Ed laughed. Yep. We got Ed. So even if no one in the audience liked it, then, uh, where'd they,
uh, where'd that comment go? I don't know. It moves too fast. There's all our sponsors and stuff.
All right. So let's get this poop show on the road. So this was originally posted by
just to be on the forum. Then the original article here is from Chris DC Moore dot co dot UK.
Wow. And in a nutshell, um, posting this in the chat by the way. Okay. There is a way to remove
the one plus device manager app via ADB without requiring route. But up until that happened,
there was an ongoing scandal this week that, um, was started from Chris's security and tech blog,
finding out that one plus is actually collecting a lot of user data tied to the phone serial number.
So collecting user data anonymously means that you are collecting the user data without any
additional information that could allow it to be tied directly to the user. So an example might be
if Luke and I both opted into an anonymous data collection schema through our device or our
computer or whatever I do for some things, which I do for some things too. Um, let's say that we
let's say that we did or G force experience. I don't for that. And I don't either. Um,
I don't have G for, I used to like G first experience. It was nice. The idea is that if
Luke had Chrome on his phone and I had Chrome on my phone, this company would take that information
that two users have Chrome installed and then maybe they would look at a bunch of other users
and figure out that 70% of their users are installing Google Chrome. That is anonymous
data. It's still useful and it's still valuable. That's even some stuff where it might be like
two users from British Columbia, Canada. Yes. But it's not enough to tag down to you. It's not like
two users from these home addresses. Yes. It's two users from this geo. Exactly. Um,
so once they tie it to a serial number feasibly, they could tie it, especially since one plus
sells through their own store, they could tie it to a name, an address, a credit card,
everything. Yep. If there's ever a criminal investigation where they seize property,
they could get the phone, get the serial number and then get all the data that way.
So this happens when the phone screen is locked or unlocked. Um, the phone's IMEI phone numbers,
Mac addresses, mobile network names, and IMSI prefixes as well as that. Wow. Wireless network,
SSI, uh, timestamp ranges of when and which applications on the phone are opened and closed
timestamps of which activities were fired up in which applications. Um, and so the code
responsible for this data collection is part of the one plus device manager. That's enough for
me to literally never have a one plus device ever. So again, like if, if verified true,
well that, yeah, it looks, this is a thing. No one seems to be going against it. All of this
is fine if it's anonymized. So it cannot contain the IMEI. Okay. It can't contain the phone number
when I say all of this is okay. If it's anonymized. I mean, I mean all of the things
actually know most of this is just not okay. Yeah. Okay. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Um,
when applications on the phone are opened and closed and what people do in them,
if you agree to a program that collects that data, people do it. No, if it's not,
if it's anonymized, if it's truly anonymized, then okay. But if it isn't, if it is submitting
any of this other information that ties it to a person, then this is like,
and they still have to ask. Yes. And you still have to ask. And they didn't ask.
So none of it's okay. So if they're like, Hey, in this app, when you're signing up,
here's a checkbox specifically that outside of the terms of service asks its own specific question,
which is can we harvest anonymous user data? And you're like, yes. And then they're like, Hmm,
okay. Um, this user seems to click on this area of the screen a lot. Let's compare that against all
the other users. Okay. All of the users seem to click on this area of the screen a lot. Let's
put more important things up here cause they seem to be focused up there. That's like a common use
case for things. Um, that's fine. Taking my wireless network IDs and when I open apps,
so you can sell me crap and track my movement is not fine. Wow. We'll never personally use a
one plus device. Huh? How about that? Screw that noise. That's wonderful. So, okay. The good news,
if you already have a one plus device is that you can remove it. So here we go. Blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah. So the Twitter user, yeah. This is sick and ski. Jacob's the cancer comes back to
the screen share this guy. There we go. I I'm assuming you did a pretty okay job. So there
you go. This is the command to disable one pluses analytics permanently. So there you go. Go check
that out. It's over on Chris DC Moore dot code. That's something that the average user can do.
I very appreciate that Jacob did this. It's better than nothing, but it's my same response to, uh,
what was it on that weird watch thing that I did? The Mio armband thing? No, no, that was cool.
No, the one that I hated the kick-farted one. Oh, the Neptune pine. First of all, Neptune pine was
one of the spy devices in the most recent fast and furious. Was it really? Yeah. I was watching
it with Mape and then Mape and I at the same time are like, what? Cause he has it. He's like doing
crazy spy stuff on it. Are they just using it as like a prop? Like surely they didn't. I'm pretty
sure it's like green screened or something. Like it's, it's not, there's no, there's no branding
anywhere, but it's a Neptune. You're sure? I'm 100% sure. Neptune pine fast and furious. Yeah.
Yeah. I doubt anyone else even noticed like. Boom. Is that it right there?
Hold on. That's it on his wrist. There's better. Yeah. There's better moments of it,
but it's definitely that. Let me see if I can find it.
Huh? I mean, I guess, yeah, that like, like going and getting some stupid obscure device
is probably better than Korean. It has like a big screen on it and stuff. Yeah. I got a bunch of
tweets right after the movie came out. Huh? Yeah. I can't find a good picture of it, but wow. That's
crazy. Um, what was I talking about? I don't remember. Okay. Anyways. Um, wow. I super don't
remember. Me neither. Okay. I'm totally engrossed in this being on I'm baffled about. I'm tired.
Why was this week so tiring? We had a day off. I'm bath built Neptune pine smartwatch playing
an integral part of fast and furious eight. I have to confess. I have never seen a fast
and furious movie. Not one. No or two or three. I didn't mean.
So I, I like them, but in the sense of like, yeah, that was entertainingly stupid, but not in the
quality, entertainingly stupid way that like Kingsman is okay. In the just more stupid.
How did Kingsman have a 50 per Kingsman to have a 50% rating on rotten to me? Okay. We went on a
date last week. Um, we went out on Friday night, we went to see Kingsman, the golden circle,
and then had milk and both of us were laughing out. Like I very rarely, it was so good. It was
so good. And you should, you don't have to to enjoy it, but you should absolutely watch the
first one first. Yes. Yeah. Don't have to at all. Totally don't have to, but it would be kind of a
drag to watch the first one after knowing the plot of the second one. Yeah. So yeah, we're not,
don't worry, no spoilers or anything, but like, it was awesome. If you have a sense of humor,
then go see it. It's so good. Prepare to turn your brain off for a couple of hours because
it's fine. But it's like, okay. I, my, my family was asking me what it was and I was like,
it's James Bond crossed with sixties Batman. Kind of. Not like perfectly, but that's probably,
cause I have a really hard time explaining it as well. That's a pretty good way to do it.
Yeah. It misses some of the like raunchy side of things. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. But it's just, it's a, it's a, it's pure fun, but like with better production
values and slicker. Yeah. Yeah. And the acting honestly for what they are trying to do is really
good. They found guys that can keep straight faces pretty well and stuff. By the way,
I remember the thing I was trying to talk about when I did my Neptune pine review.
If you guys remember that I brought up something called Neptune Ninja,
which was this website that was all based around like how to kind of break it so that it would
work better. And it was super cool. And I commended the guys that made that site because it was
honestly quite awesome and it made the Neptune pine a lot better, but it shouldn't need to exist.
Right. And that's something that I said in the review too. Like I'm happy that these
dudes came together and made this device so much better so that people that bought it
would actually have like an experience that was still not good, but better than what they were
given. Slightly less horrible. Yeah. So like, that's cool. So all the Neptune Ninja guys,
like great, good work. But really you shouldn't have had to do that. So like that bit of code
to remove the thing. That's great. I'm very happy with the guy posted there. That's really great.
You're helping a lot of people. That's very good. I don't think that you should have had to do that.
Yeah. So it wasn't digging on him. All right. So this is fun. A story, man, this says last week,
a story went viral that claimed Apple was intentionally slowing down older iPhones
to push people to buy its latest models. I mean, you could replace last week with any week in
history, any period in time, any period in the last eight years. And this claim, this particular
claim was based on data, which shows that Google searches for iPhone slow spike dramatically with
the release of each new model. Fortunately, future Mark has heaps of data from seven different iPhone
models across three different versions of iOS. And as for the results, well, let's go ahead and
bring it up. This was originally posted by Hey yo on the forum. And here we go. Here's the Apple
iPhone five S CPU performance from April, 2016 to September, 2017. That is a flat ass line.
There's some dips, there's some raises, but here's the GPU performance that gets better
about as better as you'd expect from GPU driver revisions. Here's the iPhone six.
So CPU performance did go down a bit, but GPU performance went up like a fair chunk,
like a pretty good amount. Uh, the success. Okay. So it comes and goes, it's doing okay.
Now a little worse for the wear than when it was released with the success being a little
bit slower on CPU now as well. And as for the seven, well, it's holding about as steady as
any of the other ones. So if the theory is that, um, okay, so here we go. Our benchmarking data
shows that rather than intentionally degrading the performance of older models, Apple actually
does a good job of supporting its older devices with regular updates that maintain a consistent
level of performance across iOS versions says future Mark, because remember guys, even though
we do see that CPU performance go down a little bit, you have to remember that new versions of
iOS do new stuff and have new services running. Uh, the fact that you still have enough leftover
cycles in order to get a very similar score on a benchmark is actually pretty good. Now
with that said, it's not like I don't think that in particular UI responsiveness couldn't stay
more better than it does, but there are other factors at play here too.
And it's hard to benchmark UI responsiveness. It's very difficult to benchmark that. Um,
and there are other factors at play here too. Like for example, this is something a lot of people
don't necessarily, even if they know it, they don't necessarily think about it in the context
of their phone, but NAND flash, the storage that's used for every phone. I can't think of a,
I've tried to think if there's a phone with a hard drive in it, like they had hard drive based
iPods. Hold on a second. Did anyone do a phone with like 1.8 inch hard drive? Anyway, I can't
think of one, but, but people don't necessarily realize that even though SSDs have no moving parts,
their performance does degrade over time, especially if they spend a lot of their life at
or near their full capacity. So you may actually notice things like app loading times degrade,
and this could be due to retired blocks in your NAND flash and the controller having to work
around that. It could be due to your phone being quite full. It could be due to just typical OS
bloat, which happens with every device pretty much across the board. It's something I don't
actually quite understand that well. Like why is it that a few text entries in the windows registry
means that my computer is slow, slower now? This doesn't quite compute for me. It's a little bit
more complicated than that. I'm sure it is, but I mean this, okay, this is another me being an
ignorant moron, but maybe you can explain this one to me too. Why is it that when I take a super old
game? So 1602 AD is the example that I haven't looked at in like five years. Okay, so I know
where you're going with this. This is where like a lot of times it's, it's timed out.
Yeah. Or like a certain application is not necessarily timed out, but can only access
a certain amount of resources. So because that application can only use so much,
it doesn't matter that you have much more hardware. Okay. Cause where I was going with this
was that that particular game, if you have it on an ISO, it's a CD. Okay. So it's like
605 megs or whatever a CD is. If you have it on an ISO on an NVMe SSD and you install that game
on a modern processor, I think the minimum requirements for it are like 90 megahertz P1
or something like that. Maybe 200 megahertz Pentium one. It still takes like 10, 15 minutes
to install. And I'm kind of sitting here going, we could have unpacked at the highest compression
level, 600 megs of data over and over and over again in this time, we could have rewritten our
entire registry in this time and we could have transferred 600 megs back and forth literally
hundreds of times in this time. What are you working on? I don't, I don't know. Like every,
I'm sure there's people in the Twitch chat and I'm sure there's people in the archive that'll
know better than me. So please post in the comments. Yeah. Feel free. But as far as I know,
it's, it's timing stuff. Some things are set up to go after a certain amount of time. Some things
are set up to take a certain amount of time. Some things are only able to use so much performance.
I pretty much guarantee you all of that is single-threaded. It's middle out compression.
No, no, that was, hold on. Who said this? That seems very credible. Chicken fried
butt says that. Credible name. Chicken fried butt. Credible name. Middle out compression.
You know what? I don't know why I didn't think of that. It's so obvious now.
Someone corrected me. Anno 1602. Yes. That is what it was called in other territories.
It was called someone correcting me. I screwed up pretty bad earlier in the show. Oh, what did you
do? I said, uh, electric doesn't work against rock. It's electric doesn't work against ground.
So it would work on a geodude, but not on a Diglett. You suck. Yeah. You suck so much.
Wow. That's embarrassing for you. It sort of is. Wow. I don't think I got any of it wrong even.
No, I don't think so. Wow. I haven't touched Pokemon in like 10 years. You know that right?
Yeah. I see you. You're like, you're distressed dude. I screwed up. And I'm not helping at all.
I'm like low key rubbing it in right now. Yeah, that hurts. Wow. That sucks, man. Yeah.
That's pretty bad. Wow. Cause you're like, you're like a Pokemon guy. To be fair,
I don't use electric very much. Oh wow. But I still, I use.
Oh, apparently geodude is ground rock. Well, yeah. And I run gravelers and geodude a lot.
So I knew that bit, but like. The day the alcoholism started. Pretty much.
I'm just gonna go home and get smashed and play shadow of war. Yeah. All right. Cry about loot
crates. Cry about forgetting Pokemon stuff. Oh, I had too, I had too much fun with that.
Speaking of having too much fun. What a creative website. It's super fun.
About all the fun you're having. Yeah. About all the fun you're having. Oh wow. Okay.
Two week free trial. How many of you guys can go to squarespace.com slash when get a trial

Squarespace.com slash when and use offer code when to save 10% or should it be offer code?
Oh my goodness. Oh, that was too much fun. I think for that you have to eat the spicy
jerky. I am going to eat the spicy jerky, but first I'm going to put on this shirt from
Mack Weldon. This shirt is also from Mack Weldon. It's just already on because I have to do this.
Why did Colton tell you? Oh, they sent new stuff. Yeah. Oh, it's a long sleeve. I love these.
Cool. So Mack Weldon, the online store that believes in smart design, premium fabrics and
simple shopping. It's like super easy because you don't even have to wear underwear to buy
underwear. Yes, my friends, Mack Weldon clothing is super comfortable. And did we nip slip?
Look how professional this show looks when we have a collar. Wow. Like, seriously, how much does
that step up the WAN show's game? Quite a bit, but you got to get these up because you're flaring.
So you got to roll up and then repin. Right. Yeah. See, I don't know these things, man. Okay.
I'll work on that in the meantime, but like, how pro does that look?
Wow. What direction has my life gone? I knew that, but not the Pokémon thing.
Wow. Oh, previous versions of me would be so disappointed right now. It's time to take a
step back and re-evaluate, Luke. Oh, God. No, see, with this one, you just go like this.
Oh, I can't pin it because your forearms are way too jacked. Okay, that makes sense.
Keep doing your thing then. But you just go like that, but then you have like monster
forearms, so it doesn't... Well, it's not even monster. It's just relative to my wrists.
So I have like these skinny wrists and then like that's there. Okay. That's flexed. It's like...
Badminton. That's badminton for you. You know what? I'll give up on that. No amount of putting
good clothing on me is going to make me knowledgeable. But what I do know about
is their silver line of underwear that is awesome because it has silver in it, which is naturally
antimicrobial, and that's where the smell from your clothing comes from. I'm not saying you
never have to wash it. Mack Weldon isn't saying you never have to wash it. Definitely no one is
saying that. But the silver in the clothing will help to fight odors. So head over to

It's genie.us slash DV big G, big Y, big... You know what? Why don't I just link this in the chat?
Also, it'll be under the video for the archive. Perfect. Don't worry. I'm logged in now. So I got
this. Okay. Our last sponsor of the day and I deserve this. I deserve to suffer and it's okay.
Do you want some jerky, James? Nothing. James is vegetarian. Oh, sorry. Oh, is this a new order?
Oh, yes it is. Oh, is there too much? No, I saw a second one. No, I saw a second. There's only one.
Also, you're not allowed to have that. Yeah, I can because you were mean. I'm just going to
have some first. That would be real punishment. So if you had to have that after you already
burnt your taste buds, the folks over at Savage Jerky, we're on a mission to create a snack that
was full of flavor, but not bad for you. They've got 13 different flavors of jerky. The maple
buffalo bacon is awesome. I love the garlic lime and cilantro mojo. This is like my mouth is
watering right now. I'm like super amped to eat that. He's taking the mojo. I hate him.
There's more than two. Did you notice that? I want all of it.
You can have one. Just take it. Just take it. No, it's okay. No, take it. No,
try to find this one. Oh, the traditional. Yeah, the traditional is really good too.
I love the traditional. So anyway, which flavors do... Okay, I think we've discussed the flavors
we like in a... Yeah, so I really like traditional. I'm going to eat this much reaper, okay?
Okay. But I want some mojo first, okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Mojo habanero, in my opinion, if you're into spice, is a good place to start,
because it's quite spicy, but it's not like at a pain-inducing level. Would we agree with that?
Which one's one of the spicy ones that I really like? Because the mojo one's kind of a sissy one.
No, mojo habanero. Oh, the maple buffalo bacon. Oh, we've got more of that too. Oh,
there's three packs of that. Oh, I'm like super amped right now. What's a good,
like a little bit spicy one? I think the mojo habanero. I think we ended up eating all of
those really early on, so we don't have... Yeah, the mojo habanero is a good one. All right. Yeah,
sure. Let's go with that one. But you have to... It's like it's a little spicier than most people
can take, I would assume. If you're like... Okay, I would say if you're iffy about spice,
that one might be a little bit too high. But if you like spice, that's probably where I'd
suggest you start. Oh, bud. So this is your just mojo one, right? Yeah, okay.
So you can use offer code LTT to save 10% on all their products, including their barbecue sauce,
their hot sauce, their spice rub. They have a Carolina Reaper hot sauce that uses Carolina
Reapers, which is one of the hottest peppers in the world. And for all orders this week,
Savage Jerky will include a koozie or a sticker with every order placed using our code. So that's
code LTT. All right. Don't worry, I'm gonna eat it. I hate you. Uh, full plate? Oh yeah, sure.
Why not? Do you have the thing set up? I don't. You know what? That's why not. So do you want to
do the next topic? Sure. What is the next topic? I don't know. There's like nothing. I think we're
out. Why don't you talk about the Airbnb? Airbnb is building an apartment building, which like
actually kind of makes sense, right? Isn't that just a hotel? Uh, anyways, we'll figure this out.
The first project, a 324 unit building in Kissimmee. Wow. Hope I'm saying that right.
That's an interesting name for a place. Uh, Kissimmee Florida will be branded as
Neato powered by Airbnb. Okay. The project is considered trendiest, like hipster nonsense ever.
The project is considered the first in a series of development across the Southeastern United
States. Airbnb and Neato will work together to design new units and buildings that include
features like keyless entry and shared common spaces that make them optimal for home sharing.
So it's a dorm. Okay. Keyless entry though is a really interesting concept because if you had
that set up for your house, I bet you the Airbnb app would let you in. Right. So all you would have
to do as like the person that maintains this unit, which might even just be Airbnb. So it's
probably just a hotel is there's probably no central desk. Right. You just go in and you just
go like use it. They'd have to clean up. Yeah. There'd be, there'd be cleaning staff, but probably
other than that, I doubt it. Neato will fully support the costs of construction and retain
full ownership of the buildings. So it's a hotel. Neato tenants will sign annual leases. Oh, okay.
Oh, okay. I get it. And we will be permitted to home share individual rooms or their entire
units through Airbnb for, for up to 180 nights per year. Okay. So you have to live in it,
but you're allowed to share it for half of the year, but you don't own it. And why,
why would anyone do this? I don't know. To share their homes will be part of Airbnb's
friendly buildings program in which hosts and landlords share revenues generated from home
sharing. So you can sublet so that they don't have to take on all the risk and they will share some
of the revenue with you. Yeah. And you're going to have to buy like two units beside each other.
So you can live in one half the year and the other half of the year. Okay. I don't think
people necessarily intend to do that, but you, you can't rent it for half the year. So what else are
you going to do? Maybe you like, honestly, that's the, I know it sounds super stupid,
but that's the most logical way I can think of it. Maybe we're totally missing something. Maybe
Twitch chat is like, I guess if it's in a vacation spot, wait, is this just a timeshare?
No, they don't get it either. Okay. So we're not the only ones. Yeah. It's a timeshare. Disney
Kiss Me is right by it. Yeah, sure. So you'll be able to rent it a lot, but you can only rent it
for 180 days. Okay. So it's apparently a requirement because of the law, but what
qualifies as a hotel versus an apartment? It's a city law. Like, okay, sure. People are talking
about snowbirds. So people who want to be down there for half a year and up here, but I mean,
I mean, I mean, that does make sense. Actually it is in Florida. Oh, geez. It is in Florida.
So like Canadians or people that live in the Northern part of the USA, I could say that.
People from like Minnesota.
It's been a while, eh? Since you had a really spicy one. Cause your tolerance was getting
really good. I was handling it a little, a little better for a bit there. Anyways,
snowbirds make sense. I think buying two units and living in half half is super weird, but it
makes sense. The fact that it's right near Disney means that you'll probably be able to have it
rented for like most days. So yeah, I don't know. Oh boy. Interesting idea. I swear that's hotter
than usual. No, that's not even a new pack. To manage guest stays remotely by triggering
services powered by a master host at each property who will assist with items like guest check-in,
cleaning and linen service. So you can, yeah. Snowbirds. That makes tons of sense then.
Okay. The building has staff for cleaning and stuff and guest check-in. So you can be up in
Minnesota or whatever you said, and then just use this app to like manage your little property
while you're away. Yeah. Okay. And I would expect that people wouldn't live there for 180 days
because I don't think they would rent out every single day of 180 days that they're not there,
but they probably live there for a lot of it, like a hundred days or something. I'm not sure.
Okay. From TechCrunch, iOS and Samsung are now tied for market share in the US.
Here's the article. And basically in a nutshell, Android is still quite far. Okay. Can you do this?
I feel pretty bad. Okay. I'll be back. Do you have any like cream-based stuff? No? Okay.
I'm fine. Water isn't going to help you. It won't hurt. All right. All right. So yeah,
iOS and Samsung market share now tied in the US based on new data from
Kantar word panel. He didn't put this up on screen. Give me a sec.
There we go. Android is still far ahead in the US, however, with 63.2% share to iOS's
35%. iPhones account for nearly 50% of Verizon specific phones, but I'm sure the cheaper carriers
probably have a lot more Android phones because there is a lot more cheaper Android phones in
general. Samsung dominates in Great Britain with 38.4%. In urban China, iOS has grown from 13.4%
market share last year to 17.7% thanks to iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus sales. The top two best sellers
in urban China. I wonder if the iPhone 8's gold color is going to make a dent in China.
Cause you know, they got rid of, they got rid of Rose gold and they have like a more actual
gold color now. Okay. Interesting. Probably actually. What else do we have? They should
make the buttons on it red. Yeah, I know, right? That would do pretty well. Samsung did that Iron
Man S7 was it I think? Yeah. All right. Check this out. So good bites from the forum made an
excellent post on the upcoming Microsoft. Yes. Hey, on the upcoming windows 10 fall creators update
that's coming on October 17th. So in just a few days, there is some cool stuff in here. Basically
right at the top. He already had my attention because this is awesome. Task manager now gets
GPU usage and GPU memory usage. Oh, so you can actually see like we had to fire up a third party
utility like afterburner. That's pretty cool. To see how Adobe premiere or Adobe media encoder was
using CPU versus GPU versus Ram. Now it is all in one convenient place. That's fantastic. And
get this, uh, it doesn't look like it, but hold on, hold on. It actually can break out by task.
What's using the GPU. Oh my God. That's pretty cool. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Hell yeah,
man. That's fricking awesome. But would it get you to go to windows 10? No. Okay then.
All right. What else we got? Improvements to game mode.
Um, get some improvements bash on windows. Yep. The volume mixer. Um,
you can control the volume of UWP apps individually. If you run any UWP apps,
the Plex UWP app has this like, have you moved on to the,
um, whenever you're playing back at original quality. And since a lot of the time I'm playing
rips of Blu-rays because no, totally not. No, totally not. But like, um, like that's why I own
a Blu-ray drive. Yeah. Literally the only reason. Yeah. Um, what else would you put a Blu-ray in?
Yeah. Like a player so that you can like watch previews for a movie.
Anyway. Sorry. Um, it's like so trash compared to just like the regular player,
a folder protection. So this is the regular player now. Um, yes. Yeah. And that fixes everything.
Yeah. Um, cool folder protection. So this is basically a ransomware defense mechanism that will
allow you to select a folder as a controlled folder access so that it can't just be, you know,
altered by some, some program that's installed on your computer. Um, more power management. So
there's a slider for it now. Ah, some gooey stuff. We're getting into kind of a, kind of the boring
stuff. I wasn't sharing the post anymore. Oops. Um, start menu. I wonder if the start menu responds
when you click on it now. Cause like, honestly that is, that's what broke me. My single biggest
complaint about windows 10 is how unresponsive the start menu is here. Let's do a test angry
video game nerd. Let's just see example. Look at that. How delayed was that? How can you handle
that? Oh, that bugs me so much. And it worked. It doesn't even always work. Like compare that to
spotlight on OS 10. Spotlight is awesome. Why isn't this awesome? Okay. Spotlight is their system
wide search. Oh, Oh, I've got another, I've got another good one for, for you guys. I wonder if
they fixed this. Okay. Delayed again. Rufus. Hmm. That's weird. We've got Rufus the band.
We've got Rufus Wainwright, the smaller band. And then we've got some US searches. Okay. Let's do an
experiment. Let's go look at my downloads folder. Oh boy. You know what? Let's wait to look at my
downloads folder. Oh crap. I don't have it in there. Okay. Well, whatever it does. You're not
actually searching for some reason. Oh no, no, I am. Okay. You're doing that thing. Yeah. I'm
doing my other thing. Okay. So I'm going to, I'm going to work on this in the meantime, but
anyway, it makes me, that'll be a recent download. So it'll probably work.
I'll see. No, no, no, no, no. It specifically doesn't find this.
Rufus is cool though. Rufus is awesome. You're already in your downloads folder.
Okay. Okay. So let's try this again.
So now I definitely have Rufus in my downloads folder. What is all this? Okay. Rufus.
Definitely still not there. Now let's go back to my downloads folder
where Rufus definitely is. And yet Rufus
is definitely still not coming up. It's in the downloads folder. It's not like, like if, okay,
if we're talking like it's in, and if you're trying to make a smart search, he just downloaded
it. Like it's an executable. We're not talking some executable and program files or something
like that, where there's like some kind of a risk factor involved here. We're talking,
it is specifically, presumably intentionally, because I can't even imagine something like this.
Not, well, I can imagine it not being fixed, but come on. My like super jacked out version
of windows 8.1 definitely would have found that. Yeah. Any other version windows 98 would have
found that. Yeah. Even with the stupid dog or wait, the dog didn't come till XP. It would have
found it. So mad. It would have taken a while. Yeah. But it would have found it.
Would have found it. Makes me so mad. People are probably explaining it to me in Twitch chat.
File extensions enabled. Yeah. Anyway, it's not a bug. It's a feature. Yeah. I'm sure it is.
Don't hate the dog. Oh, the dog was pretty bad. The dog was pretty bad. Anyway, what's our,
what were we even talking about? Oh yeah. Windows 10 and how you're still not going to use it.
Yeah. Oh, you know what else we should do while we're screen sharing with me is we should go
through a what's new on float plane club. Yeah. Do you want to give, Oh, did I call it club? Sorry.
Oh, well you did. It's already called. It's still called it up there. I need to change that. We're
changing that. Yeah. So the float plane domain, I know we kind of jumped the gun announcing that
we have float plane.com. Cause we had like reached an agreement, but didn't technically have it
transferred to us yet. Yeah. We definitely have it now. Yes. Right. Yep. Yeah. Okay. Yep.
Definitely. Okay. Good. You can even like, who is it? Cool. I mean, it has the information like,
Nope. What? Oh, really? Yep. Oh. Oh, give me a second. Really? Yeah. No, no. I just mean
that didn't work. Yeah. I don't know why he put who is, and then the domain in a Google search
and it didn't work. Like what are you using Bing? Oh man. I wish I had screenshot. I wish I had
screenshot to something the other day because I was searching Bing for something and it was
astonishing how worthless the results were. And then I searched Google for it and it was like,
yeah, right there. Yeah. Yeah. You can't like tell that it's us cause it's. Oh yeah. That's
what I meant. I was asking if you had domain privacy. But it all moved over and you can see
there's a new expiration date and the update date was like around when we were talking about it. So
do you want to like tell people anything cool about it? About the domain or like what's going
on with there's two guys that I emailed today. I asked so that I can find out to, to hopefully
talk to them about getting hired. So that's exciting. That's cool. They both seem very skilled.
One of them is in Canada. One of them is in the U S I'm, I'm sort of sad about the U S one because
hopefully you come through and take the job because that would be wonderful,
but it's going to be a little bit hard to get you up here, but not as hard because you have
a degree, which is very helpful because Canadian law with the partnerships that we have with the
U S makes it so that you can immigrate to Canada much more easily if you have a degree, which is
awesome. So if you want to locate up, it's fine. And you don't have to become like a full Canadian
ditch your American passport thing. You can just come up here and work, which is great.
And then the other guy is from the East a bit much more closer to one of my other developers.
But yeah, hopefully he will join as well. That's all going good. Lots of new design stuff has
happened, not on this laptop, so I can't show you, but there's going to be a blog post going on to
the float plane section of the forum soon. That shows a lot of the new design stuff. We've done
some fairly drastic things in terms of design. I can't show you guys right now, but I was going to
do not want to show them. I'm down. Do you have it? I should have the, the email you sent me.
What did you call it though? I think it was like a one word subject line because you're Luke.
I do that. That is a thing that I do. I like being able to read the whole subject line in one line
when it's on a phone. Yeah. Yeah. It's not very SEO optimized. So I mean, the forum is though.
Yeah. Yeah. And the website will be once it's live. Okay. Is it, is it in here? It's probably
like full plain concept images and killing me here. Just look for emails from me. Yeah, I guess I
don't get that many of those these days. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. I'm working on this. Do you want to
do another topic in the meantime? Sure. Yeah. And then we'll, we'll talk about them briefly here,
but I'll talk about it much more in depth in the post on the full pain section on the forum.
Once that goes live and we'll like answer questions there and stuff. Fleer cameras.
Oh, this is bad. Have unremovable back doors. This is really bad. A security researcher has
discovered secret hard-coded backdoor accounts in thermal security cameras manufactured by
Fleer systems. The accounts are never exposed to the front end user and cannot be changed
through any normal operation of the camera. Certain now publicly user name password combos
will grant an attacker access over the device publicly available. Ouch. So, so Fleer needs
to get this together. Yeah. Why do these companies build in back doors? Other vulnerabilities.
Stream disclosure. Attackers can access the security cameras stream without needing to
authenticate. Remote route exploit. Attackers can execute code on vulnerable cameras with
root privileges. Authenticated OS command injection. Attackers with access to limited
accounts can inject command and have them executed with root privileges. Multiple information
disclosures. Attackers can access slash query certain camera files and read other local
resources. The researcher reported vulnerabilities to Fleer, but has not received a response
regarding the issue. Great. The easiest way for Fleer can't, uh, customers, the easiest
way for Fleer customers to protect themselves is to prevent access to their cameras from
the internet by placing the devices behind a firewall until the vendor issues a patch.
Brilliant. Sweet. Yeah, that's not me. Oh, really? And I can't possibly understand who
the heck else it could be. Oh, all right. Because I'm the only person that it makes
sense for, but I've never heard of them and neither has Poiler. Okay. I have the, uh,
I have the mock-ups up. Are these all of them? This is some of them. I mean, we don't just
show everything. You're still going to do the blog post, right? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So,
um, well, this is the bottom half. Dang it. It's not in any particular order. Okay. So,
ah, yeah. It might not be great to show the front. Is it, can you go all the way up? Is
this the full one? And it's like super pixelated. Yeah. Why does this look so trash? Oh,
okay. So we're just going to download those and move on. But yeah, come on. What that
was posted by Dr. Who 1975 on the forum. Thank you very much for posting that. I'm going to post,
um, the bleeping computer article in the Twitch chat. So you can all go pitchfork about it
because that seems like you probably should actually. Yeah. That seems like a very valid
thing to do. This is terrible. Oh, it's horrible. Security cameras. You can't have, you can't have
security back doors in security cameras. That's like, it's like punching a hole in your security
before you ever put in security. That's super guards. Exactly what happened. Actually. Super,
super garble. You should have your security cameras behind a firewall and then have to VPN
in to see them. Um, but not everyone will do that. Right. And like, this should have been disclosed
and is completely BS. And the fact that you should have your security camera set up that other way
doesn't matter in regard to this because this shouldn't have happened.
Anyways. Wow. This is like the world's worst screenshot. This full front page one.
It's just super pixelated. It's like, okay, well I'll put up a not super pixelated version.
You can kind of show it for now. Yeah. Okay. So it's pretty similar to the original front
page that we showed you guys. Uh, but with some changes on the lower part. Yeah. Um,
first spoiler, there's the new logo that we have, but this is a trash version. So we might want to
show them the logo on one that isn't so pixelated, but that's the new logo that we have. The top part
hasn't really changed at all. There's been minor changes to the creator tiles right here. Those
are just randomly generated names. So don't worry about it. Um, I did check with that. This section
has changed a fair amount. Um, there were concerns that the previous version wouldn't be able to
scale onto different devices. This version is set up so that it can scale properly onto different
devices, which is good. And I'll talk more about the front page somewhere else. Cool.
And the next one, any of the main pages, I'd say, what would you consider to be a main page? We can
go with that one based examples. Sure. Cool. So this one has some stuff going on. This is just
an example page of how tiles can work and the tiles would obviously have like videos on them
or pictures or something. They wouldn't just be like purple gradients. So it'll look more lively
and interesting, but that was just an example. The main thing that I want to show you guys here is
actually, this one's not a good example for it. Can we do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Hello.
There we go. That's a much better example for it. This again, those are just empty blocks and none
of those blocks are staying where they are. So completely ignore that. It's actually going to
just be one big section, not three sections. So don't worry about that. But the main thing you
might notice is there's no top bar, no top bar, bit of a controversial change, but I think it's
really good. We want float plane to be a home for the creators that are on float plane. So we want
to get out of their way as much as possible. And so we get this real estate here. Yeah. And this
here. Yeah. And then we're out of the way. We just want to serve the content. We want to make sure
all your stuff is fine. And then you get the whole right side of the screen and our stuff will never
touch you and et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. You're all good on your own, which I think is
really cool. Here's some terms and conditions, trying to make them look kind of friendly.
Yeah. That's the whole front page in one view. That's like an example of what an about page
might look like. So there's like staff tiles down at the bottom. So you can have like the people
that work on your channel or like affiliated channels or something there, whatever you kind
of want to put there. That's just the bottom of the site. So in terms of content that we have
over there right now, man, it's been a, it's been kind of a crazy week actually. Okay. What do we
got? We've got tech Wiki. What happens if you don't shut your computer down properly?
We've got overkill office upgrade. This one actually went up on YouTube today,
but has since had his thumbnail changed, but that doesn't really matter. We've got the LG
ultra wide festival video. Oh, what's up. Luke was wrong.com. Oh my God.
That's just even just landing on the page is amazing. All right. What is it? Oh,
Holy crap. That's a really good screenshot. When is that even from? That's not now.
Is that mod 24? Like what is this? Maybe I've got that. Like the, the mic with the metal
was wrong. Powered by Squarespace. Oh man. Just the font and that screenshot. Like how I'm look,
I look like slightly dazed and I'm just, wow. Terrible. Wow. So good. All right. What else
do we, what else have we got here? Oh, we've got iPhone eight and eight plus review.
So that's a thing. Oh, that's exciting. Yeah. That'll be coming to YouTube pretty soon. We've
got, oh, we've got part two of turning LG's wallpaper TV into a window. This thing's crazy.
It's so awesome. We've got, it's finally up testing the oldest SLI setup. I didn't notice
that was there. Including screen capture. Really? Of old games running. Yes. So we used an HDMI to,
or we used a VGA to HDMI adapter and then used our capture cards. Okay. Yep. It looks really good.
Cool. Wow. That's really cool. We've got the set destruction vlog. Oh, geez. That's up. So this
is us tearing down a lot of the old sets. You should tell them what cards are in that SLI
video. Yeah. They're voodoos. Yeah. Whoa. Yeah. So it's, it's awesome. We've got Scrapyard War
six part two. And very soon, like this weekend, part three, part three and part one is obviously
also there. Man. There's a lot of good stuff on there right now. I think that's pretty much the
bulk of it. Yeah. I don't know if handy tech under a hundred stuff for your stuff is on YouTube.
Not a hundred percent sure about that one, but yeah, Scrapyard Wars is the,
is the other big piece that is not on YouTube yet.
All right. Leading us back to, I don't know. Is there anything else to talk about this week? Like
what even happened? I don't think stuff for your stuff is, Oh yeah, it is. Yeah.
AU Optronics roadmap is on TFT central. So 27 inch 38, 40 by 2,160 feel 4k monitors at 144 Hertz.
Already planned for several monitors, which we know because we've done pieces on two of them,
three of them, two of them, one is one back at CES and one Acer one at their show in New York.
But production has been delayed until November, 2017. And those displays are not expected till
Q1 2018. A 32 inch version, 4k 32 inches, 144 Hertz. That's pretty dope. Not planned until Q3
2018 with displays not likely till Q4. 240 Hertz refresh rate TN panels. Oh,
now up to 1440 P. Wow. That's pretty killer because 1440 P at 240 Hertz is doable in
e-sports titles. Not that e-sports guys necessarily care, but that's is what it is.
They've got a 120 Hertz, 35 inch VA, 1440 P coming. And they've got a 35 inch VA,
34, 40, 1440, 200 Hertz with full HDR, but it's delayed until Q2 2018. Yeah. So I guess that's
yeah. So that's when you're going to see monitor videos coming from us.
Okay. This sort of matters. This was posted by space reptile on the forum. And this is a
rumor right now, but it is rude. This is a rumor about a product that is rumored. So it is rumored
that a GTX 1070 TI is coming. And I can tell you guys, honestly, I don't know one way or the other.
I haven't heard a damn thing. It is also rumored that the 1070 TI, because the rumored specs
looked really close to the 1080 TI. Like it was going to be kind of stepping on it a little bit.
It is rumored that the specs are, are true, but that in order to keep it from overlapping
too much with the 1080 TI, it will not be overclockable. Can you imagine Nvidia having the,
I mean, I want to say audacity and arrogance. I'm going to throw in potentially an unpopular
opinion here. I would be, I'm not, but I would be completely okay with this if they called it
something else. If it wasn't a TI. TI has always been like, hell yeah. Like every time a TI has
come out, it's been like a nicer kind of more powerful push it further kind of card. If they
called it something else, I would maybe be okay with it. Cause there's a lot of people that aren't
going to overclock the cards anyways. So if they're like, I can save some money, buy this
thing, not overclock it. Cause I wasn't planning on doing it anyways. That's fine. But if you knew
they were non-overclockable versions, I don't think I'd care that much. Interesting. But it's
a tie. They're not telling you this. So basically Nvidia is saying, this is all rumors. Well,
and yeah, if this is true, Nvidia would basically be coming out and saying, well,
our competitor can't compete with this anyway. So what does it?
I would like to think. Pay more, get more.
Not been very well for overclocking. I don't think it's I know. Yeah, no, I know that. No,
there's no way. Do you think there's going to be BIOS flashes that allow you to overclock them?
I doubt it. I mean, that has been a thing on the AMD side, but it's never really been a thing
on the Nvidia side of things. This was originally posted by AG1233.
Razer is teasing its first smartphone with the reveal apparently coming on November 1st.
So in a surprise to absolutely no one, Minlang Tan wears jeans and a black t-shirt all the time. No,
you're thinking of Jensen. Oh, right. And the phone will have a bright green logo on the back of it.
Okay. I can make some other guesses about the phone. Do you want to hear them?
Sure. It will have a 1440p display. It will use a Snapdragon 835 processor. It will be available
with, you know what? I'm going to say 64 gigs of storage and it will have micro SD expansion.
You know, I bet you the front's going to be black. It will have volume
buttons. Those might be green. It will be cloud ones of what? Yeah. Yeah. So they acquired,
what was it? Nextbit was the company called Nextbit who made the Robin. And so Nick was
yelling that they could be pushing all the storage into the cloud. I doubt it though. It's Razer.
They probably just threw some NAND flash chips in it. I mean, what else can I guess about it?
The phone I'm guessing will be hella mediocre because unless you've invested literally a decade
of research into smartphone camera stuff, you're going to end up with like an off the shelf thing.
And really that's what makes Google's phone and Apple's phone and Samsung's phone better is the
processing now. Not necessarily the sensor. This one's like RGB screen. RGB screen. Yeah.
It's the screen is going to be RGB up the butt. They should have a mode.
That's like the like night clock mode that some phones have.
Do you know what I mean? You put it in like clock mode. Oh yeah. Yeah. But instead of that,
it has like bold numbers so you can see them that are all black. Yeah. And then all the rest of it
is like scrolling. You got to sleep with those multiple colors on your face. All right. Do you
want to talk about Oculus stuff? Not really. Wow. That kind of says it all, doesn't it?
Yeah. There's two new headsets coming out. One's called a Go. One is currently called Santa Cruz,
but I'm assuming that name will change. The Go will cost $200. We'll ship next year,
early next year. You sound so dead inside. And apparently it will fit the sweet spot
between Rift and other portable smartphone powered VR devices as it's a high quality,
affordable experience that doesn't tether you to a PC. It is the most accessible VR experience ever.
Nice. It has positional tracking on motion controllers, but it's powers. I'm talking
about the Santa Cruz now to be clear. It has positional tracking on its motion controllers,
but its power is more on the level of a Gear VR meant to be more accessible than Rift. Cool. And
ultimately point the way forward toward mainstream VR. Now, to be fair,
things need to be accessible and desktop VR is super intensely not accessible right now.
Yeah. You need big areas to actually play on these things. You need powerful PCs. It's not
affordable. It's not accessible. It's not easy to set up. It's annoying, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera. It's not going to push mainstream like it hasn't. It's been good in the enthusiast space.
I know there's a lot of people that are still really enjoying their VR setups and there are
some really cool games for it. That's great. And other applications?
Yeah, definitely. Ones that work fine with a seated experience.
Stuff that's a drastic shift or change in terms of technology needs to be accessible
for wide market to actually accept it. Like the Wii was really weird in terms of gaming devices,
but it was cheap. It was like 200 bucks for the console. I bet you most people bought it at about
the $200 price tag. Even the games that weren't like smash hit triple A titles, like one of the
most fun things on the Wii was Wii Sports that came with it. And it was fun because you could
just screw around. The whole family could get involved. Whoever comes over could get involved
within seconds. Understand the game, be playing and be social really easily. And if you're by
yourself, you could just bowl or do whatever. And it was still fun. It needs to get to that level.
Now, technically these are going in that direction. I don't think they're going to be enough. I don't
think they're going to work. Yeah. One of the big things that we had going for it was that it sold
to families. A solo experience that closes you off in the world is not going to sell to families
very well. No, not really. But there are still definitely a lot of people that will buy it.
I personally don't think that either of these are going to be smash hits. I personally don't
think that either of these are really going to work because I think VR is still a few years out.
And right now, the only thing I'm really interested in is like really powerful VR because I
think we're a few years out from non-tethered experiences being properly powerful enough.
So I'm not interested in these personally. All right. Last order of business, Coffee Lack.
Coffee Lake is in very short supply right now. It's unclear whether it's overwhelming demand
or very, very, very limited supply, but it is pretty much impossible to buy a Core i5-8400,
Core i7-8700K. Yeah. They are selling like hot cakes. I was going to say caks,
but no one wants a hot cak. Well, you might. To try and encourage people to still buy CPUs,
Intel is doing a game without compromises bundle. So you get, let's see, two free games,
Total War, Warhammer 2, and Assassin's Creed Origins. But it doesn't apply to Coffee Lake.
It only applies to their older stuff, which sort of makes sense if you think about it. But
it is annoying some people because they're like, no compromises would mean getting the
best processor and getting a cool bundle. And then that's pretty much it. Anything else
for Wancho for you? Not particularly. All right. I'm good then. Yeah. Signing off you guys. We'll
see you again next week. Same bad time, same bad channel. Get subscribed on Floatplane. Watch
three episodes of Scrap Red Wars. This weekend. Or everybody else this weekend.
Yes, there will be an after party. There will? Well mine. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Like your stream. Okay.
Yeah. I got to go. I got to go do something with Jason. Oh.
Oh, we're using the old 10 GPU server thing for Bitcoin money. Oh, not Bitcoin, but like Ahcoin.
Yeah, yeah. That would actually be a good name for a cryptocurrency. Ahcoin. Because like,
it's irrelevant. The branding doesn't matter. Yeah. No one cares.
