okay guys welcome to the wan show that show every week where me and this guy
are all like hey let's like make videos and put them on the internet and then
maybe people will watch them let's be on time no and then people watch them and
okay we're only four minutes late today what is this why am I getting French ads
poor parties pay all right I'm pausing it I'm pausing it I'm pausing I'm pausing
it all right so guys we've got a great show for you today first of all we have
a topic that we covered last week sitting in the call-outs here I'm gonna
go ahead and move that one mr. left friend yay I believe put that there I
remember talking about that at all well probably because I did most of the
talking cuz it's the Linus show but I feel like I would have had input on that
maybe you have me doing something else I'm surprised that you didn't call me
out on that it's called the wan show it's not even called the Linus show I
don't really care you put your name on everything so whatever
Linus media group Linus tech tips what did you want the shirt thing to be
called I don't remember but I think that this conversation is heading down a path
I'm a minute really not actually that comfortable just really likes hearing
his name just tweet him his name thank you for that please just tweet him his
name greatly appreciate it all right so why don't we move on to our topics for
the day Microsoft has committed once again to do more for PC gaming but they
actually have you're spoiling oh yeah it's gonna be awesome I'm stopping it's
gonna be awesome okay iOS 8 is on the way so actually a lot of the features
that they're showing off look pretty darn cool some of them are innovative
some of them are not but but still good it's about par for the course for any
mobile operating system update I mean everything that you can and add a few
things exactly we also have Microsoft Cortana voice control coming along the
way which should be really interesting and the Asus phonable of the desktop
laptop it's not a desktop it's the one thing it's not Asus is five in one PC
how do you make a five in one PC well Asus will show us but in the meantime
guys and we will do the intro broken intro
all right so this is interesting our first sponsor this week is actually a
group of sponsors we along with tech syndicate will be participating in the
world's highest elevation terrestrial LAN party so we are going to be going to
the top of the highest peak in Colorado and we will be taking some haha some
Asus gaming notebooks up there where they're gonna be powered by Intel core
i7s and we're gonna have some sweet Corsair gaming peripherals of course
featuring their RGB keyboards in order to get a land going at 4,400 meters
above sea level so there will definitely be videos about this whole thing guys be
very very excited it'll be coming sometime in about a month and a huge
shout out to Asus Corsair and Intel for making this whole thing possible also
something that's coming a little bit more immediately is e3 coverage here
online is tech tips we bailed on compute X this year as you probably
noticed but we'll be doing e3 basically we did compute X last year it was
extremely expensive and not a whole lot of people watch the content so we're
gonna try something a little bit different we're gonna do we're gonna do
e3 instead so our gold sponsor for e3 is hyper X featuring the fury line of
performance to price ratio I think the word is value price to performance
ratio optimized SSDs as well as the Corsair RGB keyboard and NCI X my bros
my homeboys my dogs do you see that we were being featured on new eggs product
site I have seen that you saw that speaking of speaking of my bros NCI X
I'm sure new egg is so super thrilled to have the host of NCI X tech tips all
over their their site there so yeah it's pretty funny I hope Paul and Kyle are
watching they were tagged in that Twitter feed so I know they saw it
absolutely fantastic I'm sure NCI X thinks it's hilarious too oh this is
great you're betting a YouTube video chip 700 says so by we're doing e3 does
he mean I'm sending slick to e3 yes yes
we'll be doing the same kind of thing that we did at PAX East again so we'll
do a mix of all the hardware stuff that I can find and a few gaming videos
sweet yeah no that sounds like that sounds like fun I mean part of it is
that we've never covered e3 in any capacity before so this is more like a
scouting mission so if it turns out e3 is a total disaster and there's no
benefit to us being there then next year we won't yeah exactly so it's not like
it's not like packs where I would have to actually tie him down like harder
than usual in order to keep him from knowing what day did I request time off
for PAX Prime it was when we started Linus media group so before we actually
founded the company so it would have been in December of 2012 you asked for
the time off in September of 2013 I think it was like the second day I
started working with you before we founded the company people are saying
audio is actually normal for once which is hilarious because I actually took out
the compressor we're not using a balanced output off the mixer I'm going
into like a crappy RCA and put on something I we actually we know what the
problem is now I know what the problem is now we need an amp and then we need a
couple more adapter cables and we're gonna be able to get the audio like bang
on the issue is that this juiced link amp kind of sounds like poo it's the one
that we use whenever we film things on the black magic camera and everyone
complains so I got the levels sounding really good on this one and so that that
didn't quite work though because it just sounds kind of poopy and then I tried an
objective to but they're not really meant to be used this way so I didn't
really work I need balanced inputs and outputs in order for it to work properly
the whole chain has to be kind of the same thing and then I didn't have the
right XLR to quarter inch adapters and all that so just didn't quite work but
guys it is definitely going to happen also as for the white balance I'm
actually not sure I think that is a bit of a I think that is a bit of a problemo
but we're just gonna have to go with it because welcome to the WAN show where we
go live at some time that's somewhere around 430 and hopefully things are okay
and the colors wrong and the audio sucks yeah whatever screw you guys no we love
you guys please keep watching oh speaking of the WAN show and technical
difficulties all right how much you want to bet we get a blue screen hold on hold
on hold on don't do it yet don't do yet hold on okay and hit it oh that was so
not expected so that's yeah no I get it I get it I get it we got to add boom all
right hold on hold on hold on hold on not yet not yet oh yeah yeah yeah no no
it's fine we're all good we're all good you're good all right hit it and then
yes look at us in that corner over there that's adorable you're like it you're
like a cute little ogre oh I don't have colored hair then what were they called
were they ogres I don't know trolls trolls okay no if someone here was a
troll it would be me so all right so we may have a wireless standard coming that
is theoretically faster than any wired standard that we can get at a consumer
level and I gotta kind of sit here and wonder what is the point of these faster
and faster wireless standards when they never work right anyway can you please
all focus your I know that wireless is exciting and Intel had that whole thing
where they're like wireless by 20 what was it 2016 or 2018 would like replace
everything whatever it was a seven it was seven gigabit per second thing they
want your display and your peripherals to all be wireless and I'm kind of
saying they're looking looking at going okay so Intel out of one side of your
mouth you're going wireless everything and over the other side of your mouth
you're working with with Apple on the Mac Pro which is like the octopus of
wires well maybe the idea is that a Mac Pro released around that time wouldn't
have to be an octopus octopus of wires hold on hold that thought wireless
octopus you think just like randomly curls around your desk and annoys your
you know I was looking into it because I have a bit of I have a bit of an
infatuation with remote control yes gear and as much as I am a crappy heli pilot
I'm actually I'm no I'm a better plane pilot than a heli pilot but not by much
and cars I basically have never really used a decent one so I'm definitely not
good with those so but I still I love that stuff I geek out over it so I was
looking to see if you can get a really sweet RC submarine because I actually
built one in my grade 11 technology class like we did it as a project so we
made them out of PVC and then what you do is you'd put as much styrofoam as you
need to make it neutrally buoyant once you have your motors and your and your
wires and everything on it and we actually made fully functional
submarines like everyone in the class made one we we made our own watertight
motors out of film canisters it's funny because my son won't even know what a
film canister is yeah I know they're so useful for that kind of stuff out of
film canisters and then wax seals with motors inside them so they stay dry and
they could actually move in every direction so we had XYZ axis movement
and the thing I didn't like about them though was that obviously some kind of a
wireless transmitter that's gonna be able to punch through water is gonna be
either non-existent or very expensive so we were stuck with a wired control so
no matter how perfectly neutrally buoyant you made the thing as it moved
up in the water there would be more weight on it and as it moved down there
would be less yeah so you would never have that that perfect control of it so
I was looking I was just like is there a hobbyist grade remote control submarine
that you can put like a GoPro on because yeah it's the kind of thing you'd use
once I was like the GoPro part of that would be really cool you'd be like yeah
this is cool now I'll never do it again but like whatever but you can kind of go
diving with it yeah kind of yeah yeah you could go see like fish or stuff you
take it with you on vacation or whatever maybe not once but not that often but
they don't really have anything so speaking of yeah just wireless basically
not working so anyway Huawei has tested Wi-Fi based on future standard 802.11
8x that can hit 10.5 gigabit per second so that's about 10 times faster than
what you typically get at a NATO 2.11 AC connection today this was posted by
QWERTY warrior on the forum the trick the company says is making more
efficient use of the airwaves thank you for that highly technical elaborate
explanation of the trick Huawei the new technology is smarter at allocating
wireless spectrum juggling data between multiple antennas and cutting back on
interference they don't even have to switch to ultra high frequencies to make
the magic happen it works at 5 gigahertz which is great because an
inherent property of those higher frequency signals is that the range will
be shorter so it's good that we don't have to go any higher than that you're
still a long way from picking one of these up they figure that they may hit
the market sometime in 2018 I guess it's just frustrating because wireless is
getting all these developments dumped into it and we're still using gigabit
wired why why why we're trying to move away from that yeah we're trying to move
away from it but it's extremely expensive and no one's really putting
the effort into making it affordable the cabling is not that bad no the wiring is
fine routing it's the switches and the adapters yeah that you'll spend a ton of
money on and it's frustrating because you heard JJ talking about it yeah what
did he say it was gonna add about a hundred and fifty dollars to the bomb
so if they can integrate it onto a motherboard for a hundred and fifty
dollars where's my hundred and fifty dollar Nick or 165 170 whatever the case
may be like no one's even really making an effort they're content to just let it
sit there as a high-end solution forever and I really think that with SSDs
increasing in speed the way that they are looking at how NVMe so that's the
replacement for AHCI the communication protocol by which the SSD communicates
with your system so looking at what they can do with NVMe in terms of
improving throughput and reducing latency there's no reason why two PCs
on the same network with a couple of high-speed PCI Express or m.2 SSDs
couldn't be transferring files to each other at like two gigabytes per second
like let's do this do it did I say two gigabytes per second because what I
meant to say was like 200 megabytes per second you know actually a lot more than
that 500 600 700 not 200 yeah not sorry sorry sorry sorry yes so that never
happened there's a few numbers in there yeah the numbers you should be paying
attention to are we could be doing 500 plus megabyte per second transfers
across the network straight from drive to drive which is very very cool all
right now this this topic this is an interesting this is an interesting topic
the thing that can do all the things now I really liked what was it the the
transformer book duo or trio the one that you could just press a button to
switch between yeah and where the where the Android and Windows operating
systems were actually running off of the same drive like it was more like a dual
boot this is a little bit different my friends so the transformer book V or 5
I'm assuming let's say five preacher five okay it's a five in one it's an
Android tablet an Android smartphone a Windows tablet a Windows laptop and
something a Windows Phone Android Windows what the hell is this thing so
basically it's everything you can you what you do is I'm gonna here I'm gonna
blow up this picture off a little bit yeah you can you can click the phone in
the back yeah I can click the screen to the keyboard yes so much like previous
transformers there is a hard drive down here in the keyboard because there's
only an SSD up here in the tablet piece you've also got an extended battery in
the tablet I believe so the phone has you know what here I'm just gonna go I'm
gonna go back to my to my cheat sheet for this thing here so yeah so there's a
2500 milliamp hour battery in the phone and then a 4000 some odd milliamp hour
battery in the tablet I believe unless that's in the keyboard this is the most
confusing thing ever the point is the phone has a 1080p screen and actually a
pretty high-end spec as far as phones are concerned and then the tablet is a
twelve and a half inch IPS display and everything kind of slots into everything
the tablet itself doesn't have Android running off of it that's actually gonna
run off of the phone hardware so it's a Windows laptop and an Android phone
essentially that can just like slowly come together yeah this thing is like
freakin bizarro though it's kind of cool I am less on board with this one than I
am with the the last one that we looked at to be perfectly honest I I just but
didn't they get booted out of that for some reason yes but that was such an
elegant solution because you had one set of hardware so on the same atom
processor you could run your Android OS or your Windows OS and you could switch
between them in like three or four Steamboats whereas this one you can
switch between them but it's more like using one as a display off of which the
other ones running it they're not actually running on the same hardware so
it's an Intel atom CPU in the tablet and then it's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 or
something like that in the other piece so my notes for this one actually aren't
that aren't that complete and of course control F doesn't work in Internet
Explorer because I'm a genius and I'm using Internet Explorer everyone rips on
you about that like every single show I don't think it's listed yeah it's not
listed I was I was looking at a couple of different articles where it has a
little bit more information than the gizmodo one so that would explain why I
can't find it so tell me guys it's in terms of device convergence would you
want a dummy device like this something that I think I think if it makes sense
financially I could see myself doing it like if I wanted all these things and
for some reason had to refresh them all at the exact same time which is weird
and it like made sense financially then I could see myself spending money on it
if it's actually a good device I think we'd have to use it first and this is
gonna be something that I definitely want to see in the store if I was a
random consumer because I'd want to like actually try clicking it in and make
sure that the phone is not just gonna like fall out of the back and other
things like that that I would want to try I don't know okay so here we go
we've got a summary from Asus up now so it is a Windows notebook a Windows
tablet an Android phone an Android tablet and an Android laptop so that is
how the whole thing works and the detachable Android smartphone is
detachable so that's the piece that is not not Windows Phone at all so this is
interesting okay okay here here we go here we go here we go so it wasn't a
Qualcomm chip on the on the phone that's actually that's actually very
interesting so it is an atom quad core on the phone and then it is a next-gen
core processor on the notebook slash tablet piece itself so this gives us a
much better rundown of the overall specs yeah so 64 up to 64 gigs on the phone up
to 128 gigs on the tablet with the 1 terabyte one being detachable in the
keyboard there we go much more clear maybe next time we should go to the
manufacturer's site in the first place I really hope we get a unit of this
because I definitely be interested in checking it out and giving it a shot I
should probably let them know that we'd be interested in checking it out speaking
of things that we're interested in checking out Asus has been doing their
pad phones so phones made by Asus Android phones for a while in other
markets Taiwan in particular you've been able to get a pad phone for like a
couple of years now well yeah it gets covered in the North American media
a little bit but understandably not much because they haven't been available here
but it's finally coming so this is probably where I got that snapdragon
thing that was sitting in my head because this one does use a snapdragon
800 processor but basically it's a high-end phone it's gonna be $200 with a
contract and we are definitely getting a unit for review so it's got a 5-inch
screen 1920 by 12 wait one second right sorry this one huh no wonder I was
confused this one's a phone and it docks to a tablet but in this one the tablet
is just a dummy yeah it's basically just a screen it also has keyboard and it's
probably cheaper yeah so this one is a 2300 milliamp hour battery in the phone
and a 4990 milliamp hour battery in the tablet so you put them together and what
do you got bibbidi-bobbidi-bop bigger battery fascinating I mean okay we need
to create a straw poll for this or something can you get a straw poll going
so are you interested in a phone that merges with a tablet and guys give us
your thoughts on Twitter as well just hit me at Linus tech we're gonna do a
Twitter blitz on this what would you need to see so between the notebook that
has an Android operating system and a window to Windows operating system
running on two completely separate pieces of hardware and it's like
notebook slash tablet slash detachable phone versus the pad phone X which is a
phone with like a tablet dock that the phone goes into so anyway the phone has
a 1080p screen the tablets got a 9 inch screen the whole thing runs Android
they're claiming up to 10 hours of battery life for video playback and what
an interesting device I'm actually really looking forward to checking this
out results so far extremely even at 51% and 49% Wow I think this is the most
even poll we've ever had holy balls okay well we'll give you guys the results of
that if you can I am that over to me and I'll check it out in a moment but
guys we've got some pictures here that I want to put up on the screen from the
end gadget article about the pad phone X so here's the way that the phone and as
you can see it'll be on the AT&T Network so here's the way that the phone docks
into the back of the pad phone station which is the 9 inch 16 by 10 1920 by
1200 tablet for 200 bucks on contract would you accept a little bit of a
reduction in terms of like fancy specs and features like what you might get on
an HTC one m8 for a more basic phone but one that comes with a tablet now that
you've actually spent some time using a tablet probably not I know that might
sound surprising because I am surprised but that tablet was only 200 bucks in
itself but this is 200 bucks on contract and the tablet e part comes with your
phone that you are and let's assume you already need a phone yeah but then at
the same time independent batteries is kind of nice they do have independent
batteries can the tablet charge the phone I'm not sure exactly how it works
it doesn't just just run off the battery on the tablet hard to say hard
to say and it can run that detail is kind of nice as well yeah what you can't
yeah because like I don't know there's wow it's exactly 5050 what the heck I
put it in the dock oh it's right under this topic but being able to run it
independently is nice that way like if someone's over and you have your
Chromecast set up to be able to stream things off your tablet they can be
looking at your tablet you can still have usability of your phone other
things like that would be nice if it's gonna be like $50 more compared to
buying an equivalent phone and you just get this tablet dock thing as well I
think that's pretty cool and I'd probably go for that which does kind of
make sense it sounds like what it actually is so I'd probably be I'd
probably be down Wow but I'm not super into buying phones on contract anymore
anyways that's exactly 5050 that knows technically winning but like yeah if
anyone hasn't yeah if anyone hasn't voted yet we can go ahead and pop that
in there again but that is absolutely amazing so it looks like there's
definitely some interest in the whole tablet phone merger thing but it remains
to be seen if anyone other than Asus has the has the wherewithal or the
willingness or whatever you would call it gusto yeah who wants to make one I
mean it's the kind of thing you can see Samsung kind of going oh something we
didn't think of let's make one too and then so everything that Samsung does
yeah pretty much it's like an idea we're not sure if it's good or not but let's
make sure that we're coming over bases and make really bad commercials to go
along with them oh you know they were on a roll for a bit that whole next best
thing was great and then their most recent one that they will not stop
playing on YouTube is actually pretty okay is it okay I haven't seen that one
yet all right for their their their watch and their phone at the same time
in one commercial okay but it's like it's not that bad it's it's fairly
upbeat it doesn't have a terrible storyline like the one with the guy
picking up the chick with his smart watch yeah yeah it's just it's just kind
of an upbeat commercial and it sounds really hard to watch it was it was like
painful all right so let's uh looks like no is actually winning now but only by
two percent let's hit the Twitter's all right okay all that Twitter interaction
that we often forget to do sometimes these days sure yeah whoa that's kind of
trippy when someone turns the monitor while you're holding the mouse still
it's like all right so the original phone pad distributes the battery power
evenly not sure if the new one does though that's interesting so either one
could charge off the other I guess okay Craig Oh says not a fan of the
combination of the two if one breaks then I have half a tablet I don't see
the benefit to having them connect okay that's interesting but I mean by that
logic it's not really why buy a stereo that has both left and right speakers
because then if one of the speakers fails you only have half a stereo that's
not even right because they disconnect yeah one of them breaks you either have
a tablet and not a phone or you have a phone and not a tablet you will know
because the tablet won't work without the phone so you've either got a phone
and no tablet or you have nothing if your phone breaks you're totally screwed
yes yeah yeah I don't know I have my pad phone X pre-ordered I get an almost
top-of-the-line phone and tablet on one data plan that that's a good point it's
a very good point the data plan point because for some reason the wireless
carriers are still determined to fleece us on the whole idea that we should be
able to use our data across multiple devices it's like I just stop annoying
stuff battles that were won you know a hundred years ago like you know I
actually now that I think of it it's not that different from other things I mean
you look at you look at the way that your cable TV provider once you switched
off of analog where you could just use splitters and they kind of like we're
like oh yeah you need a digital box rent another digital box for every TV yeah
cost extra yeah I guess that's just the way everything's going you have to
subscribe per device rather than per person very annoying except except for
Netflix you just have to subscribe per device that's streaming at that point
in time it's whatever works out better for whoever's providing it to you so you
look at something like Windows if I could license Windows per person I'd be
thrilled and that's per device and then you look at actually what is per person
oh boy well isn't Adobe Creative Cloud technically per person oh yeah that's
per person but it's just not infinite amount of devices it's like three or
something yeah two devices so basically it's like but you can bounce around you
just can't be logged in working okay if they can make the phone not protrude so
weirdly and the specs are still solid and the batteries good I'd get a combo
dealio you know I don't see how they would do that anytime soon though unless
it was more like the phone kind of clips on because you're gonna want the
tablet to be really thin and you're gonna want the phone to have support
while it's clipped in unless it was like unless there was yeah I can't think of a
good way to do that not really we're also not engineers though I would be
interested in a phone tablet hybrid but I feel if the tab is nine inches the
phone is a bit too big at five inches five inches is not that big of a phone
these days though which is funny to me because I still think I still find it
big because my hands are still small they didn't change because screen sizes
became a fad that got bigger and I find nine inches is a pretty comfortable size
for a tablet that's only a little bit smaller than the iPad so really I didn't
say nine inches is a comfortable size for a tablet I didn't even pause
suggested we say anything you can click in whatever you want
will says I would need to see a quad core on everything greater than six
pounds total weight what are you asking for why would you want a six pound
tablet all right well you're done I think he's done is things most phones
have the specs to power a tablet anyway yeah it's basically the same hardware I
mean you look at the Apple side of things they're just putting the same
chips in their phones and their tablets make sense for them to converge but only
if it's cheaper than two devices and if you're saving money on the hardware and
on the data plan and basically you're just buying another screen in a shell
then there's definitely a savings to be had yeah yeah as a mobile game
developer I need top and hardware both of these are clearly lacking high-end
CPUs and GPUs um in what way because there's actually only one CPU and one
GPU the tablet doesn't have one so this is running a hold on if I can find it
yes both of these as in the tablet dock and the phone or is he talking about
this and the transformer 5 I'm not sure it's very hard for me to say at this
point in time but yeah it's a Snapdragon 800 so it's not it's I mean
it doesn't get a whole load faster than that in terms of a mobile CPU I mean the
805 is marginally better at certain things but it's not a quantum leap
forward or anything like that so I don't see that making much of a difference
alright should we move on to our next topic here sure all right what do we got
the monitor that you're probably gonna be excited about actually believe it
or not I'm not or are we gonna nope nope we're gonna keep doing Zeus topics why
not oh is there a monitor that I will be excited about no I was just saying like
it seemed to be one big column of Zeus topics well it was compute X compute X
is a big show for Taiwanese companies so it makes a lot of sense that he says
would have had a lot going on there so why not this is the PA 328 Q is a 32
inch 4k so that's 138 pixels per inch factory calibrated just like pro arts
tend to be 10-bit color 100% s RGB wide color gamut capable it's got three
HDMI inputs one of which supports MHL so you can output off your phone to your
monitor as if anyone's ever done that ever I was corrected about that today by
the way I was telling the wheels over at NCIX that I think that tablets
outputting to TVs doesn't matter because Chromecast is sort of a thing and yeah
he's like nope I do it all the time why I couldn't quite understand what he was
talking about but basically I concluded that he's drunk so how are you proved
wrong here I don't understand so what's exciting about this one even though a
Zeus doesn't have a clear idea of when exactly it will be released or what
exactly the price will be it will be considerably cheaper than the $3,000 pq
series which was launched actually I believe the first time we saw it was
computex last year so it's amazing the way prices are dropping on dim 4k say
it's exciting yeah it's my baby reasonable at some point in time and in
terms of the actual display quality well it's not a hundred percent clear what
it'll be right now they're not actually telling us what panel type it'll be but
10-bit color factory color calibrated this could actually be anything hard to
say anyway this is the same size as that one has a whack ton of inputs is much
much cheaper and should be landing sometime in the next sort of little
while but they're ending they're aiming for about half the price of the older pq
so we should be looking at like 1500 to 2000 ish somewhere in that range so why
not interested because I just don't care about 4k anymore oh cuz you want your
wide format yeah I'm done 4k is until scaling is fixed
yeah then I I can't I can't bring myself to use it I'm not gonna upgrade
to a display that makes some things look extremely sharp and other things look
worse than before and some things incredibly hard to read yes weird website
formatting and all that stuff that that you know Microsoft and application
developers really needed to be working on over the last few years as opposed to
oh 4k is here oh I guess we better do something some of them are reacting some
just aren't some just aren't reacting at all and that that kind of attitude is
what sets Apple apart and I know I come across as a bit of an Apple fanboy but
some of the things that they do are really really good and they're good
things the fact that they figured out how to make scaling work properly on
their OS is before rolling out the hardware that supports it or at the say
like put just putting in the work to make sure that things actually function
the way that they intend is is the kind of thing I feel like I should be able to
take for granted but I know that I can't do not at all not on our platforms so
speaking of Apple shilling yeah iOS 8 actually pretty pretty excited to try
iOS 8 some of the stuff here doesn't look that interesting I mean homekit is
gonna be really exciting okay McAfee just screw off homekit is gonna be
either a massive success in the future or there's gonna be something else that
completely destroys it and is way better but that's apples apples way of
integrating their device with home automation stuff like your blinds or
your thermostat or your door lock they're building security into it so
that the theory is that no one can unlock your door except you what's I
mean what's interesting is with that whole thing with people remotely
locking iPhones and then holding them for ransom that was oh that was one
thing but breaking into people's phones and breaking into people basically
breaking into someone's ecosystem of digital devices is gonna be a really
scary thing you know what would be interesting would be offline phones like
having having having a phone which is like your public phone which you don't
store anything super crazy on are you a drug dealer and then having like a phone
that you don't put a SIM card in do you often cheat on women what why are you
why is two phones your solution to every problem you've been watching too much
Breaking Bad I do that a lot to it anyways no to both those questions but
seriously you can have one that's set up for all your home automation and
everything yes that does not connect to the internet okay so you don't have to
worry nearly as much about getting hijacked you could still possibly get
hijacked through other devices or whatever but it's gonna be extremely
difficult and it would probably have to be targeted directly at you instead of
just a random I think this is an incredibly stupid solution to the
problem Wow why that's so mean because it's the same reason no way okay
basically what mobile phones have huge security holes so it completely removing
that security hole is helpful yeah basically what you're suggesting is we
bring back the PDA haha kind of an offline phone yeah no why because it's
stupid you're worried about your house getting trouble hijacked straw poll a
fine straw poll offline offline phones do they need to be a thing or is slick
idiot those can be the only two options yes we need Luke is an idiot sometimes
you don't think before you talk no I actually still agree with this though
but it doesn't have to be a phone it could be just like a device that can
control okay but I think the kind of device you're thinking it's just it's
like is like way overkill what I see happening is yeah but like whatever it
is it should be some device that has no internet connectivity and can go with
you I think I would still want a screen I just want to see a straw poll where
everyone calls you an idiot I was that was most of it I still want a screen
that's why I said phone would you need a screen once you're more immersed in a
wearable type of system so your glass as of right now I do think so because
glasses can be connected to internet if you connect your glass to that device
then you're just creating a hole what if you don't what if you what if you
just go like what if you just touch your ring against your glass it goes into
airplane mode hold on what if it just acts as a display so the processing is
here everything is here except just a display link there's there's no way to
to my knowledge there's no way to hack a DVI connection like that's a pretty
minor issue I don't really know so if you if you use that as a control so you
basically you've just had your glass and then you could like gesture or do
whatever else or type in the air or whatever solutions they end up coming up
with I think that's feasible so a wearable is probably the right answer
here but I would still want to I don't know I don't want I don't I don't think
connecting it to because it's not DVI I'll tell you what tell you what I will
I will bring my old HP pocket PC in but that's not the same it's not helpful it
has because I want I would want it to be it has a 733 megahertz 533 megahertz
scale processor all right it's got like this is not the point I can have it
connected to my parents house I can have it connected to my house I could have it
connected to say my significant others house and then whenever I go there it
can recognize me and I can change different things on the device but then
it's not connected to the internet so I don't have to worry about those things
leaking I have 64 megs of compact storage pocket PC that's not what I'm
trying to describe yeah that's not the thing in my pocket you care about I
guess no it's not all right let's go ahead and not as many people grilled me
as I thought okay where's where's our straw pool it's it's oh bollocks there
we go all right no no no where's where's our I just posted it you just keep
looking away whenever I post it there you go there we go all right so let's
have a look at the results of the pool here Wow actually you're doing better
than I thought 42% of people are blindly following you off of the abyss like the
lemmings that they are just want everyone's house to get locked and six
hundred and fifty eight percent of you are saying that that's basically a
stupid idea from a six hundred and fifty eight percent well I died might have
embellished so they're all following the dude that like can't read anything at
all just adds numbers you know what not being able to read as a specific
learning disability that actually you have and I don't that's no I can still
read right but slowly yes yes that's not what yeah that's right it's not right at
all at least I don't wet my pants during the show I don't what you said
you were so sweaty that your pants were wet actually that was me but that was so
not true at all you literally said that like last week now you're making oh man
you're just saying things about yourself I'm projecting oh my goodness I'm a
troubled person um all right so back to iOS 8 it's available for developers in
beta now and it'll get a full release in the fall we are finally getting third
party keyboards which is something that I was really disappointed about with
moving from Android back to iOS going back to being stuck with just one
keyboard was was was grinding my gears and this is this is one big step towards
me being able to use iOS again they do their own their own keyboard is also
getting some enhanced functionality in terms of an auto prediction that
predicts the next word based on people that you're talking to and whatever else
so basically like Swift key except with even tighter integration I wonder if I
wonder if the custom keyboard apps would be able to access that as well I would
hope so I would hope so because that would be nice because I doesn't doesn't
iPhone have that thing where it like doesn't let you swear and stuff no or
you can you add it oh yeah oh yeah I don't I've never extensively used an
iPhone so I don't know um so you can reply directly from the notification
pull-down thing so you got interactive notifications their mail app which I
never use because the Gmail one is way better has gestures for removing flagging
and such their health kit thing is basically Apple jumping on the whole
bandwagon of you know heart monitors and whatever what's kind of cool about
health kit is you can actually have your results being automatically sent over to
like Mayo Clinic or your doctor or something like that so someone else can
be helping you helping you track your activity home kit I guess is where we
got sidetracked photos taken with any iOS 8 device will be available via
iCloud so it's like okay kind of like BitTorrent sync or Dropbox I guess 200
gigs of iCloud is $3.99 Siri now has Shazam integration which is pretty cool
because opening up Shazam was a lot of work and then finally it's coming to the
iPhone 4s or newer and get this the iPad 2 is getting iOS 8 that's actually kind
of interest that is fantastic some pretty crazy stuff in terms of backwards
compatibility I mean that's great I have tablets from that era that are
running like 4.0 yeah that's great it's like kind of brutal I I actually I'm
more interested in the Shazam integration than I think you are because
it would be nice like especially if you're driving you don't want to touch
your phone you don't want to go open Shazam and you don't want to be like
Siri open Shazam or whatever okay you're probably right because you said
they're they're adding hello Siri you kind of support hey Siri hey Siri yeah
so if you can do completely hands list like touch list completely without any
worrying that would be kind of nice to be able to check songs and stuff yeah
you're probably you're probably right it's probably a bigger deal than I'm
giving it credit for because it is something that I use a fair bit because
I don't really pay attention to celebrities and releases I'll just be
like I'll be in the mall and some horrible song will be on the radio and
I'll be like wow that sounds great what is it I gotta get me some of that some
of that top 40 hmm all right should we save let's save the Microsoft promises
to do more for PC gaming for later so first up is Cortana oh my god I'm so
excited I'm actually stoked for this do you want to cover this one because sure
the I've been super super interested in voice controlling devices for quite a
while now and I've been waiting for Cortana announcements and being able to
listen to it more in depth and see them talk about it all that kind of stuff so
I was super excited to see this if you go to this website either I think both
of them have it but Engadget or VG247 you can you can listen to audio clips of
her talking it's it's essentially the answer to Google Now and Siri for
Windows Phone and I think they're adding it to Xbox as well but she should be
able to have casual conversations with you as well which is fairly interesting
and creepy it's creepy but not necessarily because if she could I'm old
and afraid of technology so it's kind of creepy but go ahead okay I don't think
it's that creepy but I guess I'm not not as old as Linus I just don't expect it
to work very well because they like in the articles they have examples of like
kind of cheeky things that she'll say like if you ask her if she's better than
Siri she says not to brag but apparently I'll help save the universe in about 500
years I'm just kind of like yeah but all those are like anything that relies on a
pre-programmed response is always going to not be that great it's like it's like
bullet holes in the side of a house in a game until we get to the point where the
wood dynamically breaks upon impact from the bullet it's gonna look like a
video game yeah yeah sorry go ahead but because it's all in server they're
planning on adding things like jokes and all this kind of stuff as time goes on
every two weeks I think they were saying yeah so things like it can go along with
current events so if you ask it about current events it can have topical
things to say about all that kind of stuff so while you're completely right
and it's gonna add this weird thing where like you could ask her the same
question a billion times and she's probably gonna say the same thing every
time yeah and that's gonna sound a little weird like the same thing down to
the letter yeah so and that might be a little bit weird and a little bit
disconnecting they're they're they're gonna be adding to it all the time which
should help that a lot and and you're kind of right at the same time there's
gonna be this disconnect the conversations aren't gonna feel
supernatural like my stuff I'm I'm sure that's gonna happen but this is the
start I also just don't really have any desire to converse with my phone not
really if it could like I don't know because I really really like okay Google
now what's up yeah but it's horrible it is so terrible and it is not useful and
okay you might have to you might have to sort of I don't have my phone I wish I
could do I would do a live demo but I don't um it's I'll go like I'll have
some emails and some text messages and whatever and I'm like okay Google now
what's up and it's like hello Luke the time is 647 p.m. you have two emails
subject line blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah okay done you have text
messages from done okay bye it's like what that was why here's the
interactivity how do I say oh hey reply to that message can't respond to
anything I don't I don't need to know the time every single time the the
longest part of her talking to me is her making sure that she takes time in
between words saying hello Luke the time is blah blah blah then once she
gets to her email she blurts email a text message she blurts out things super
fast doesn't always read them correctly like rifles through it doesn't say who
it's from like I'll get text but it'll be like you have a text message body of
the message doesn't say who it's from can't reply to it I'm just like what like
subject line I want you so bad right now it's like who is this from there could
be a dozen different people what oh my god okay anyways but like it there are
a lot of messages that aren't like that that could be from anyone so I don't
it's it's annoying and like if someone sends me a text message that's like hey
are you on the way this is the time where it would be amazingly helpful my
phone goes offices I have a text message okay Google now what's up blah blah
blah blah says hey are you on the way Oh respond yeah I'm just driving that
would be amazing well one of the problems that I have with with what I've
had with Google's voice activation in general and they fixed one of them
recently to their credit like I gotta I gotta give them props for this was the
way their voice dialing used to work is you'd say call whoever work or mobile
and it would say do you want to call blah blah blah yes or I think no no I
think it was calling whoever would you like to call blah blah blah work would
you like to call blah blah blah mobile call this one like it didn't just let
you do it in one go yeah and then it's a and then then I think it would ask you
to confirm or something like that and like oh just when I say it do it and I
think I think part may fix that now right and I think with like Moto X I
think you can have it detect if you're driving and if you're driving I think it
will do a little bit better than okay Google now does right but then and then
like okay Google now isn't even on a massive amount of devices so what yeah
it's just on Moto X right now yeah my knowledge like yeah what oh it's just
okay Google you don't have to say Google now anymore I don't think I've tried
that oh it's not working for you maybe it just doesn't like my voice for when I
say that could be because you and I have had apparently lots of problems with
Google now that no one else in the entire universe has had so anyway I'm
gonna give I'll give Windows Phone 8 another crack once Cortana rolls out
it's been over a year since I've tried it and that was back when Windows Phone
8 was first kind of rolling out and I'm pretty excited about all I'd like to see
what what it's like and I don't know that it's gonna convince me to switch
back to Windows Phone in fact I sincerely doubt it but with some of the
great devices available on Windows Phone like Nokia's latest flagship which I
can't remember what it's called but it's really good and it's got a great
camera and Nokia's latest okay so there's only one that's okay I'm still
gonna want to try it out uh what else we got here all right should we get into
Microsoft is gonna do more for PC gaming really this time it's different they're
like an abusive spouse at this point all right so this was originally posted on
the forum by John there's some sort of action you know what I I'm whatever you
go be a Microsoft fan no I know I'm all I see some kind of action I'm on your
side are you on my side yeah because it didn't seem like it before when you were
suggesting that we all start carrying PDAs around again and that was why I had
to abuse you I hope you realize this is your fault horrible okay okay so
Microsoft's recent acquisition of the PC centric rise of nations franchise is
just the first step in Microsoft's efforts to do more in the PC also known
as only according to Xbox boss Phil Spencer a fan asked Spencer on Twitter
why Microsoft had acquired rise of nations and announced a re-release for
steam to which the veteran Xbox boss said steam is a great place to sell win
32 games we acquired the IP for future work I'm a big fan of the franchise the
fan is apparently a yahoo because this fan responded by saying they aren't
interested in installing steam praise be to gave in but would rather enjoy a
games for Windows Live replacement praise be to gave it yeah wait wait what
what you really that part of this yeah the fan is basically office rock so it's
not a fan this is a planted person no I have no I have never met or talked to a
single person ever that is thought games windows live was anything other than no
Microsoft has already said they're they're not expecting to create a direct
competitor for steam and they shouldn't I'd like to see more collaboration
yeah we've brought up about how Ubisoft needs to give up and reskin steam okay
so at any rate this article blah blah blah etc etc Microsoft whatever has
committed more DirectX 12 blah blah blah so this is great someone point brought
this to John urs attention and it was added to the original post it's a post
from 2013 that chronicles all the times that Microsoft has said this in 2005 we
care about PC gaming Longhorn that's the code name for Vista blah blah blah to
usher in modern PC gaming with tray and play do you guys remember that games
folder for Vista that is gone now okay well Vista launched with none of the
stuff they promised Vista was not popular 2006 I think actually the what
the article says is Vista itself sucks the ass of a thousand camels but I
decided to that's true I did but I was a it was a direct quote 2006
Microsoft says don't count PC games out and they announce games for Windows Live
talk about how amazing it will be in 2007 they continue the PC push they
launch games for Windows Live with a $50 a year fee genius thanks for saving they
also they also announce a whole slew of games to include Shadowrun with
cross-platform play and Gears of War 1 and double block cross-platform play
what happened to cross-platform play they realize that PC gamers would
destroy I'm sorry if you're a console gamer in the audience but I'm so much
faster with a keyboard and mouse like it's not gonna happen 2008 um yay we got
rid of the $50 a year fee see we're serious about PC gaming 2008 PC gaming's
not dead look at this event we're throwing 2008 all new games for Windows
Live it's got a new skin 2009 PC gaming is still a priority for us it's really
vital for us we're still serious guys 2010 we're doubling down which means
games for Windows Live is still here and we'll update some stuff to fix the
problem of game saves being deleted 2010 games for Windows Live marketplace
these are all things 2010 Windows 8 is gonna relaunch gaming just like we
promised back in 2006 2012 we won't ditch games for Windows Live 2013 we're
discontinuing Windows Live thank you 2013 Microsoft promises core first-party
games coming to PC so forgive me if I give exactly zero craps about Microsoft's
recommitment to the PC because it really just I mean you look at the rumors
circulating about how you know there's at least some discussion about canning
the Xbox division altogether never mind PC gaming which was the redheaded
stepchild eight years ago I mean okay with all of that said with all of that
said anyway blah blah blah Spencer says part of my Xbox role is to bring back
our Windows gaming focus I mean there is there the opportunity has been missed
time upon time with the original Xbox there was an opportunity to get Xbox is
rolled out as media streamers which actually I'm there are still some
deployed today yeah as media streaming boxes to to get rolled out as an
inexpensive media streaming box that happens to also be a cheapo gaming
console and then to bring that library of games to PC gamers and Xbox gamers
alike throw mouse and keyboard compatibility at the Xbox so that there
isn't that inherent disadvantage and and make it all one big ecosystem which
would have been amazing then go and add Windows Phone and tablet and all this
stuff to it to keep things segregated the way they do never made any sense to
me what could they have possibly been thinking developing games for just one
platform instead of all the platforms I mean you look at what Microsoft has
invested in the typical in a typical PC okay so let's say they develop a piece
of software let's say for example halo okay halo 2 or whatever doesn't matter
the point is if they could sell that to any PC user or any Xbox user why do they
care I even would have even if they had it separate I even would have bought two
copies so there's the benefit there's the benefit of selling someone an Xbox
to which I would kind of go okay that's a benefit but I don't think particularly
near the launch you're making anywhere near seventy dollars or I think it's
about sixty fifty to sixty dollars is what they is what a tier one pays for a
Windows license so I don't think you're really even making that much on the
hardware and then if it's a PC well then you made that much on it so what do you
what do you care you should just want a bigger installer base and a bigger
community for your fans and not alienate all of the people that trump for your
platform so hard like there's I know so many families where the mom and dad are
just like yeah we should just get an iMac and the kids like no please no and
then they get a PC and it's like this is why your installer base is really large
come on one of the reasons one yeah one of the reasons all right so more bad
Microsoft news before we have good Microsoft stuff Microsoft confirms the
Xbox one is more powerful without the Kinect yeah so this is posted on the
forum by misanthrope this ties into a video that we have coming so shortly
yeah so they figure it's about 10% 10% additional GPU performance can be can be
gained which is like kind of huge it's sort of a big deal like wow I mean it's
not gonna be the difference between running at 30 FPS and 60 FPS and we have
a really great video coming probably in a couple weeks that's gonna be about
that but it might be the difference between running it like was it 882 P
yeah and a real resolution like 1080p there was a couple yeah so this is
there's a great post from DLF on the forum we can't just turn off the DRM and
I don't believe that was actually Xbox one I think that was that was a that was
Xbox 360 or something okay and then we can't just disable Kinect we won't sell
Xbox one without Kinect does all of those things but you know what I I am
proud of consumers right now for speaking with their wallets because what
they're not really buying Xbox yeah Dead Rising 3 is coming to PC now is it yeah
so by just refusing to settle for an inferior experience we are forcing them
to be friendlier to us and to win back our favor well in PC gaming is just like
you guys keep on thinking we're going away but no we're just like massive now
so screw you guys which is awesome they're ridiculously huge I was talking
to someone who's fairly close to me that didn't know what League of Legends was
and it reminded me of the discussion that we had in the garage way back a
long time ago about whether League of Legends is mainstream yeah yeah it's not
no it's not no it's not that's so weird yeah wait did I get did I get a straw
pole to determine that that you're an idiot and did I get right on the same
Wancho this is fantastic can I have a fist bump for you no you're not gonna
complete the like the hat trick no if you all three make the audience have him
put himself down and then have him congratulate me for it no it's just it's
how amazed that I was because at that point in time I'd proved you wrong
because you said the last person that would know but it would be proved oh
that's this was your run the battle this was yeah this was your decision yeah
okay and then my wife knew what it was and then I won but then this was yeah
this is the first person that I've ever met that didn't know what it was right
but it's like the first person I've ever met that it's like outside of yeah and
okay ever as in like the last few I know you know it's funny because I we it's
you don't think about how isolated or like how how safe side of a ball how
segment is people are yeah and the way that social circles work like it's funny
because I've had a few experiences like this lately where rampage dev the guy
that helped us with the hackintosh was yeah yeah to create the bootable USB um
yeah just plug it into a Mac and do this I'm like I don't have a Mac and he's
like oh well borrow one I'm like I don't know a single person who owns a Mac and
he's like what I don't I don't either or at least not someone who would lend me
a Mac like not someone I could just be like hey can I borrow your computer I do
know someone with it but they're like very far away like yeah so so there was
that and then there was going to my high school reunion a little while ago oh
yeah the tweets that I got from people were hilarious because they were like
yeah was everyone like and even my mom was like yeah is everyone gonna be like
really impressed that you're like an internet celebrity and I'm like no no
really not no one's gonna know what I do nobody even once I explained what I do
nobody had any idea even people in my grade people are like yeah that's a job
I'm just like yes yes making YouTube videos is a job and then when they ask
what I make them about I would say it's about technology like computers and
motherboards and stuff and I could just I could I could actually hear I could
hear the switch in their brains going as they turned off whenever I do it they're
like oh what do you do I was like oh I make videos about like computer
components and all this kind of stuff and then I'm like oh right consumer
electronics like oh yeah oh you mean like iPhones yeah well yeah let's move
on to let's move on to that epic fail of a topic right after we do our sponsor
segments here so actually like the most exciting sponsor spots this is the
first time we have talked about Highlander the collaborative project
powered by ROG notebooks there's gonna be some exciting stuff
jay-z is not coming on yeah jay-z will not be there because he can't handle
this mountain watch jay-z show up at the top of the mountain you probably could
be like yo bitch so we are gonna be going to the summit of Mount Elbert a
4,400 meter above sea level mountaintop and we are going to be having the
world's highest elevation terrestrial land party is a collaborative effort
with tech syndicate Austin Evans is confirmed to be attending something that
we had never revealed before unfortunately Lou from unbox therapy
can't make it I was super disappointed I really wanted him to come although Logan
Luke I will be there I believe Kane is coming it's a possibility that we'll
have some other pretty cool guys there as well but it should be about 10 of us
total making our way to the top of the mountain to have a high-altitude land
party because we can the whole endeavor couldn't happen without a Seuss Corsair
and Intel so a huge thanks to a Seuss Corsair and Intel for making that
possible speaking of things that are made possible by our generous sponsors
our coverage of e3 is going to be brought to you by the HyperX fury SSD
lineup so these are value SSDs and as SSDs go up in performance and down in
price the high performance ones are making less and less sense every day and
the good bang for the buck ones are making more and more sense every day so
huge shout out to Kingston our HyperX HyperX HyperX specifically that's very
important huge shout out to HyperX for making this possible also powering our
trip there is gonna be Corsairs all new RGB mechanical keyboard which we are
extremely excited about checking out you know that yeah that's cool you're not
gonna actually have one when you go on the trip unfortunately yet I would have
deaths just put it on top and you know that I know you would and then finally
our last sponsor is NCIX your source for great technology selection and
service also known as they're my bros you should buy your computer stuff there
because they're my bros I worked there for five years I still work with them
very very closely I love those guys they're great guys you know the thing
about NCIX is they don't always do everything perfect but it's great
technology selection and service if you reach out to them and if you are fair
they'll be fair to you they'll do their best they always they always do their
best to fix it no matter what it is and that's something that you can't say
about every company so having been on the inside there I know how things work
and I know that they really do care so there you go that's my endorsement of
NCIX someone suggested that we get what we're into going to climb with us she
didn't want to come on the way and show did she no I don't know I don't know
tell you what we'll ask her okay we'll see we'll see I have a feeling our
videos would get many more views I have a feeling that that is a stereotype okay
that gamers think women are attractive have you not seen this is this is
actually this is unrelated to tasty PC this is related to what you just said
though watching videos of women in them have you not seen the like browser
streamers on Twitch like are you kidding me right now you can't even make that
argument I didn't say that it was invalid that was a stereotype I didn't
say no you never say no speaking of saying no all the no in the world to
this Apple defines a spec for lightning connector headphones with 48 kilohertz
output Apple piss off we do not need we do not need headphones with proprietary
connectors that is not a thing we need please don't make it if you stop making
iDevices with analog outputs I will well I don't buy any anyway but I will
definitely continue not buying them because that's absolutely horrible and
good and to get caught up in some kind of a in some kind of a like race to who
can have the highest sample rate on their files is a journey to nowhere
because it doesn't actually matter past a certain point also there is there is
no there's no reason why you can't have an excellent DAC and an analog
connection to the speakers that sit inside your ears because effectively
that's all that you're doing anyway a digital headphone is just one that has
the DAC on the other side of the cable instead of having the DAC here and then
over there the amp and DAC actually both of them I suppose it doesn't matter it's
still a speaker is an inherently analog thing there is no benefit to this other
than that we are going to be stuck with headphones that only work with iPhones
and iPhones that I mean if they were to actually take the three and a half inch
connector off then we'd be stuck with iPhones that only work with stupid
lightning headphones most of which will be fashion trash I'm sure well beats
they'll be beats well though I'm sure someone else probably why they bought
them will participate in the made for I yeah but I'm like I think they're making
sure that there will be a range of products on launch for this picture this
future and I'm about to make your brain melt okay you look at the kinds of like
real companies like serious companies that really care like Sennheiser that
participate in the made for iPhone program like the momentum headphones for
example why is Sennheiser targeting iPhone users with these because iPhone
users will pay more yeah okay Sennheiser happened to make legitimately good
headphones that are made for iPhone but it means that the inline controls don't
work on Android because they're made for iPhone now imagine this imagine Sennheiser
is put in a position where they have to decide are they making their next pair
of great sounding but still fashionable headphones with a lightning connector or
three and a half this could this become a breakaway I don't know maybe because
that would make sense but that's totally inelegant and that's not that's not it's
true the Apple way like that's not going to be breakaway and it doesn't have to
be breakaway like okay well Apple's already said there will be adapters so
yes you can adapt your lightning to make a three-and-a-half but that's stupid oh
it is yeah like adapters are horrible it could be breakaway like it is on that
though but again these I mean these are $300 I am's yeah not everything has that
feature that's an uncommon feature I know but I'm just saying like for the
Sennheiser headphones that you're talking but these are solutions we
shouldn't have to resort I completely agree okay well I'm just saying it might
not be as bad I think instead of us playing devil's advocate because I'm
obviously very upset right now we should have a moment of silence instead okay
okay okay because I what I was really hoping for with this beats acquisition
was beats headphones that looked good and sounded good and were built better
yeah that's what I wanted out of this this is my worst nightmare yeah this is
the worst thing that could have possibly come out of that acquisition well maybe
not maybe not the worst thing but it's it's very very very bad it's very
terrible and stupid yeah and I need that to not happen yeah all right the
specification could live anyway none of that's confirmed like Apple doing away
with three and a half millimeter connectors entirely conclusions that
were made up I mean there are ways that the tech could be cool for example if
you had headphones some something that is easier to have a large battery in and
every time you plugged your headphones into your iPhone it could charge them or
something like that like there is room for this to be kind of cool as long as
it doesn't get forced on us yeah so I will leave that positive possibility as
the last thing that we say on the subject all right no Microsoft start
menu on Windows 8 until 2015 this was posted by NSF NS NFS underground and the
original article is from bit maybe he's trying to recreate the sound of when
your your engines kind of tripping out when you're just revving when you're at
the start of the line with it so it's need for speed underground okay so it's
not coming in update 2 to Windows 8 point to Windows 8 it will be coming
instead possibly with a next update to Windows 8 or Windows 9 depending on how
Microsoft decides to roll things out so this is their new mini modern UI start
menu personally I don't really care because it'll likely be 2015 by the time
I roll a new operating system onto my system anyway yeah but great so I guess
there's that our next topic is the Asus Sabran Co Sabran Co anyway whatever it's
uh it's a tough series motherboard with a white PCB now this is an opportunity
for me oh they already got it oh that's a shame because I was looking forward to
just going on an ego trip here this was originally posted by tea leet so I wanted
to cuz Asus basically said look if you want to see more white PCB motherboards
to match your sexy white PCB hardware we need 500 retweets of this tweet and they
were stuck at like 250 and I was like oh on the WAN show we should just like we
should just double it you should just like crush it so that they'll be like
whoa where did that come from and we'll be like flexing our internet muscles
stop making gold motherboards cuz they're dumb yeah we don't even care
about white motherboards no not at all we just don't want gold motherboards
yeah so screw you and your stupid retweets so guys there are 4,300 of you
watching the show right now I am counting on you I want to double the
number of retweets they have on there right now that retweet thing where you
retweet and say something at the same time and just say any color other than
gold yeah if you if you can so guys you go find that post come on come on come
on brothers you got to help me out here I'm posting this I'm posting this guys
you got it you got to get on this help me out we got to make this thing happen
all right someone says it's already at 609 I know but I still I still want to
utilize our internet mightiness to yeah we're trying to move yeah we're trying
to prove a point the point is white is not necessarily supreme but it's a damn
sight better than gold yeah I just like not gold yeah just like I can I can do
something with it if it's not gold yes yeah see I got people saying silver is
okay yes silver is totally cool silver is totally coo you know blacks coo blues
coo reds coo yellow I'm okay with as long as it's like UV the empower did it
pretty well yes and the empower did it really well yellow yellows coo you just
gotta do it right yeah so we need you guys to just help us crush it apparently
it's over a hundred it's over a thousand already I love you guys awesome yes it
totally is you guys are awesome and I made my epine grow at least three inches
today so I appreciate that we have some good Microsoft news actually I have a
prop for this one do you want to do you want to cover this in the meantime sure
there's not much to say Microsoft announced that they were going to be
whoa some cables got unplugged
they know so you should be able to use the Xbox one controller on your PC back
in November and it's finally coming or is he already it's here now they're now
available for download so yeah and you can connect it to your computer simply
with micro USB cable so this is posted on the forum by demi killer 37 although I
do have to beat them up a little bit anyway the links are in the are in the
thread there to where you can get the drivers for both x86 and x64 versions of
Windows but get this Microsoft is releasing the drivers today at its
download site but the company is also planning to distribute them through
Windows Update in the near future Microsoft what are you doing what do you
mean why aren't they in Windows Update already oh yeah okay well I thought you
were against it being a Windows Update I was like why not why is any piece of
Microsoft hardware not in Windows Update yeah no I completely agree I thought I
thought I thought you were against it and that's why I was why is anything not
in Windows Update yeah if it's wiggle certified why is it not in Windows
Update why isn't that part of the procedure why do I have to dank around
drivers still I totally thought you're on the other side of this and you're not
at all and that's fantastic like Timmy if you're watching maybe you can give me
an explanation that makes sense but I doubt it why our drivers not in Windows
Update why do I have to think about this why is it easier to plug and play a
Linux installation and have it automatically work with network drivers
and it is a Windows one that should never be a thing ever never be a fail
every laptop that I've ever tried to install Linux on perfect and network
that's all I need is network drivers because then I can move from there
that's fine and then every single time that I've tried to install not every
single time but a lot of times I try to install Windows on a laptop especially
if it's not the windows that it came with horrible almost never get network
drivers have to go hunt them down it's annoying and a lot of the time it's not
even a matter of like oh derp it's not on Windows Update a lot of the time it's
like oh okay I better go into device manager and like find the vendor ID and
like PCI ID string and go google that and find some post on like driver helper
full of viruses well yeah why do I have to resort to that you know what while
I'm bitching about this if anyone from adapt tech is watching you guys turn
your download servers on after business hours from now on that's super stupid
that's like the stupidest thing I've ever seen they turn their download
servers for their drivers off outside of like business hours legitimately guys go
check like I've been diagnosing like a raid card in the middle of the night
because that's the only time we can you diagnose you can take down your server
yeah yeah and like their download servers just off honestly though a lot
of server maintenance happens overnight so like it should be oh I'm so mad like
so mad ridiculous people are like why is he mad today because things make me a
lot of things to be mad about today speaking of things to be mad about this
is actually both cool and terrifying yeah so gun company figures out how to
shoot around corners using Google Glass so basically they've got a super
advanced scope on this gun that allows you to use Google Glass as a site it
also compensates for human error compensates for conditions it does all
kinds of neat neat so keen stuff there's a short video it's about a minute long
tracking point labs you know part of me is kind of like do we really really need
more efficient ways to like put bullets in each other one thing that scares me
is like all the stuff that's going on with NSA and stuff right now this is
gonna very possibly create a big divide in between civilian uprising potential
and government absolutely I mean it's already there you can already night
vision goggles are already you know that's actually something that I can't
quite figure out why they weren't using thermal imaging to find that Moncton
police killer yeah were they not it took them I didn't follow them over a full
day to find him and he was just kind of hiding in the woods like I don't know
maybe maybe it's possible that they're just not that sensitive yet but I just
wouldn't they have military deployed on that they did have military deployed I
mean they eventually did find him in the woods unarmed they've apprehended him
now okay did you know much about what happened I know I know he killed like I
know that kind of stuff but I don't know three officers and and wounded two
others when you both seriously wounded yeah I just didn't know about them yeah
I'm not gonna link to any news stories I'm not gonna name him because these
people don't deserve any attention dragon v2 speaking of people who do
deserve attention super cool and freaking Elon Musk is just the coolest
person on the planet so guys oh my god you should check this out there's not
there's not really too much for for us to say about it there's the main I put
the main points of the video in here is the the new capsule can hold seven
astronauts it has propulsion based landing so it can land on a landing pad
it can land pretty much anywhere but someone says you can't thermal through
trees so there you go that's interesting you can land pretty much anywhere but
more specifically on a landing pad you don't have to land in the ocean anymore
and the heat shielding and stuff on the bottom is much more resistant and can be
easily reused so if it can land on a landing pad and just have all the
propellant refill oh hold very quickly sweet ice Fox says Elon greater than
Gabe N let's just let's just calm down okay everyone just needs to relax go
ahead about Elon being greater than everyone just needs to relax they're in
there and completely it's like can you eat old can we all just relax and stop
being tense thank you we're looking at different castles here different
castles I like that they're not they're both the king of their own castles all
right sorry go ahead go ahead the rest of the points about um that was
actually pretty much it is it can carry seven astronauts it's very reusable
definitely reusable and it can land pretty much anywhere very easily it uses
propulsion based landing like I said so instead of having this crazy parachute
like they did before where they just parachute out and then drift down into
the water it it slows itself down as it's falling through I think it's I
think it's four jets and then evens itself out and then lands with like
these kind of spring-loaded not really spring-loaded but these feet that can
compress not spring-loaded at all but feet that can compress so it just can
it's actually very very cool we got a straw pull and the inside of this space
shuttle is amazing have you seen it no okay you can talk about it though it's
it's kind of hard to describe once you're done spamming there I can try to
jump you forward in the video but essentially you you walk in it looks
like super super clean and super futuristic unlike a lot of space shells
that you see that look like mega ghetto and kind of disgusting and then he sits
down in this baller looking chair and swings down this super badass monitor
setup it's so cool yeah he's walking in so he's gonna get it he's gonna get in
very good guys so once he gets in there sweet so very nice seats again like he
doesn't talk about them at all but like they actually look comfortable instead
of the terrible things that are before and then yeah okay go a little bit back
because you got to see him swing down the monitor set up you can see it's up
right now he'll pull it down so badass swoop and then if you can actually see
the control panels like it actually looks like futuristic and badass I know
that doesn't really matter but like it looks really cool they there you can see
all their monitoring panels and like all the stuff in the middle he's got
spaceship control is that like joystick II think kind of in the middle and then
most of those manual buttons are all emergency things so you don't have to
use the other displays and stuff they're all emergency stuff and yeah I don't
know I thought this was super cool
yeah I was watching and then I ran out of time I actually didn't make it to the
end I didn't know he went inside yeah that is awesome it's pretty freaking
cool how's that straw poll doing all right let's check out that straw poll
castles okay castles castles so we've got 42 percent of the votes going to Gabe
in 41 percent of the votes going to castles and 17 percent going to Elon
Musk although I don't think there's really any denying that Elon's or mr.
Musk's contributions to humanity as a whole are probably more more impactful
but then how is that that's very difficult to quantify because but
because Gaben could inspire more people if it's not in the same way it's it's
not necessarily lower and Gaben did more than just gaming yeah digital digital
content distribution and he was a pioneer yeah and has pushed forward for
those like racing that racing thing I don't know anyway yeah it's not really
I vote for castles for castles you go vote for castles then one vote doesn't
matter loser it does actually every vote counts yeah yeah I'm gonna go find it
and vote just because you said that that's fine you can find things to vote
for on your own time yeah pretty much all right um yeah I fired up the star
citizen what's up oh yeah right we actually have something really cool for
you guys so I need you to use hashtag Linus mass drop all one word hashtag
Linus mass drop and send in your requests for what you would like to see
a mass drop deal on we are working with mass drop to basically find one thing
that our community really wants to see and bring it to you guys that's it it's
simple so everyone take just a minute of your time think of something that you
think is really cool hopefully you know electronics or computer stuff or
something and then just use hashtag Linus mass drop and tweet that out and
we will have someone preferably a lackey and not me go through them all and
compile a list of the most popular ones and then we're gonna pick one from there
that we think is really cool and we think would be a great mass drop item
and we are going to be bringing that to you guys through the mass drop team so
be excited about that because it's gonna be really really sweet awesome now what
were you saying about star season I was saying I tried it and the mouse
controls are balls so I need to get a joystick I'm actually going to order a
USB to game controller adapter so I can use my old pop gun joystick but I also
have a sci-tech aviator that I can use in the meantime it just doesn't have
that same no it doesn't quality feel to it though I don't really like it so
there you go oh well solar freaking roadways we're not doing a mass drop for
solar roadways especially because they don't work sorry to spoil that one very
cool concept though yeah I give it give it a little while longer a lot of while
long and we'll find a way to leverage like the Sun a little better someone
says butt plugs I don't think we should ask for butt plugs you can get windows
for 50 cents on Oh PC it's ludicrous ROG JZ yeah we're never gonna be free of
that are we no no we're just stuck with it forever okay speaking of things we're
stuck with forever we'll be back next week thank you guys very much for tuning
into the WAN show we will see you next week I guess normally I say thank you
and then I say we'll see you next week but without this getting any more
awkward than it already is boom oh that's awkward I didn't leave this in
all the right spots so I need to something
I learned E3 also gonna be awesome yeah or terrible we're not sure yeah we've
never done it before nope
