And like what is happening is pretty much the best start. We could have possibly expected for a show where
We both look and feel totally normal the same right now as we always do
Thank you for covering for me there. I was almost gonna give away our secret. Yeah, I like your outfit by the way
I like your outfit. I think how did you get like the how are these straight straight?
Like it looks like a minor curly didn't you get curly ones? No
No, I store my curly one somewhere else
Okay, cool someone did actually link it I was like what no I'm I'm wearing a completely different wig from you
That's why mine looks different. Yeah, this is a leftover from that thing. We did with with
Josh from fractal on the and the hair is getting in my mouth. I
I knew the pink one was as long as the curly hair doesn't but I'm in like the straight
Oh, that's part of the pink one. Oh, really? I didn't even know that. Yeah, it has like rainbow bangs
Yep, that's pretty cool
Rainbow bangs my friend rainbow bang. All right, so let's drop some random stuff before you get going really
I use some extra time. Oh, can we do the folding team update exactly? Yeah, let's do the folding team update
So the folding team is now 26 in the whole freaking world
That's awesome, anyways, we are among top top 10 for active folding teams
So some of those teams don't have active members anymore
And we are among the top 10 highest point producing teams for all of our members together. My members are always the most active
Consistently putting out
10 million points per day or PPD a lot of new members have been signing up in the last couple months
I suggest you do as well
and I don't know who put this in there, but folding hardware can
Double as whole home heating. So if you want to do the opposite of whole room water cooling
Whole room heating by computers fill your room with them and run them a hundred percent all the time
maybe someone who's trying to like become an engineering student should convince their parents that they need a whole bunch of computers and a
Whole bunch of like copper tubing and stuff and recreate home room water cooling in their house using folding machines for the line of seconds
Folding team. Yeah
No, I mean we don't actually
Necessarily recommend that but we do recommend is staying tuned for the rest of the show
We got lots of good stuff for you guys. There's some HTC one m9
Um, actually some pretty cool news coming about that. We're also getting a much much clearer idea of what the r9
390x is going to look like in its final form. What else we got? I have no idea. Oh
We have
Microsoft is not necessarily free for pirates
Windows 10 is what I think you're trying. Yeah, Windows 10 is not necessarily for pirates, which is not too surprising at all
We'll talk about that more later on and there was a Japanese supercomputer that was able to simulate one second of brain
Wow
That's actually in a lot more than one second, right? But they they calculated the total that's still cool. Yes
Wait, what that why is this no go
Ready to do this
Oh, right, they can't see it was those on screen
What thing oh, yeah, no, no, don't worry I got this. Okay, so sponsors today linda.com
Mass drop why do these look completely different?
Someone's getting fired that's it and I fix it which looks like the linda.com one
But not like the mass drop one because whatever apparently
Alright, so you can still get fired. That's true
Yeah, you can get fired for showing up at work looking like some kind of like you yeah looking like me
Yeah, I mean think about as we say not as we do
I'm sure that friendships have broken up over wearing the same outfit
Probably. Yeah, so it's not identical my little poofs are different colors. That's true. My poofs are
Both blue. Yeah, let's pull up. This is really awkward
Let's just try to have a serious show, okay
Like let's try and you know do a good job for our viewers. I'm like, you know, okay
So this first topic was posted by a Ming and the original article here is from fandroid.com
I'm gonna go ahead and fire this baby up speaking of professionalism
I have definitely not plugged my HDMI cable in here. No, that's that's a good thing
So I have no idea if we live in work. Yeah, I'm all about doing it live. All right
Doing it right before your eyes. Oh
Okay, oh did you hear that some major youtuber I think she has like 4 million subscribers
She does unboxings of toys was a former porn star. Hmm. Yeah, that's cool. So that's the thing
That's why she never appears on camera
But people put two and two together the ex-wife of her current husband or something confirmed it was like, yeah
Yeah, that was her alias. There you go. Well, that lady's a jerk
Well, it was already like everyone knew so yeah, she officially confirmed she did she did confirm it
So it's still kind of it like kind of a douchey move. Yeah, so let's go ahead and oh look at that
It worked first try that's amazing. All right, so that's a good idea this out
every
HTC one m9 owner to get one
Get out of jail free card one free replacement for water damage
cracked screen or switching carriers
That is so cool because even if you know, not every phone can be unlocked for every carrier and not every
Particular, you know skew can have every frequency support or whatever else the case may be
HTC is basically on yeah, look for the lifetime of this phone you get to screw up once you get to go
Oh, you know what? I'm with Verizon and it sucks. So i'm with AT&T and it sucks. I want to try something else boom
You get a replacement phone now. This is a definitely an improvement because I can tell you guys
That I remember I talked about this on my end show and I meant to follow this up back when I R made my one m8
I did so as a customer
Yeah
And I told you guys that I was going to follow up and let you know how it goes because there was a problem
With the main camera lens that it was like cracked
that it was like cracked for no reason like the rest of the phone was pristine like
Something leaned against it in my pocket. It was cracked. Like I looked at it suddenly. I was like, how is this cracked?
And it is an issue that other people have had with the phone
So I tried to go through the RMA process as a normal customer and they ended up rejecting me
They ended up saying that it wasn't covered. They wanted to charge me a bunch of money
I ended up having to go through my press contact in order to get that taken care of so
No, which is not that cool. So for me to see HTC stepping up their warranty game is a
Good on them for improving something that I didn't have a great experience with them within the past and b
This is great for putting pressure on the other guys because a lot of the time products that have a lot of margin
have a lot of margin because they expect a lot of they expect a lot of returns or a lot of waste like
You know, why is it that they can afford if someone in like if your kid and McDonald's drops their ice cream cone on the floor
Like the second you hand it to them does McDonald's make you buy a new one. No, no, no, man
They give you they give you a new one
and if you have a lot of margin you can afford to do that kind of thing and
flagship phones are getting to the point where compared to
Entry level phones they've got a lot of margin and from time to time they can probably afford to
Repair that refurbish it do something with it and then get you a new one. So pretty cool
It's only within the first 12 months after you buy it and this is cool. They get you the new one overnight
As long as you're willing to pre-authorize 300 bucks on your credit card just to prevent fraud to prevent people just being like, uh, yeah
So, um, I need like my new one and then yeah, I didn't send the old one. Don't worry about it
Don't worry about it. I got two now. Peace, bro. Yeah, so they can charge you a few hundred bucks
If you do that to make that not a very profitable proposition, right?
So, um, I get about gee what else is there all it takes is a call to their support line
Apparently that's that's freaking cool. I like to say I like it has a name too. It's called Oh production protection
Okay, and like that might not seem I didn't know that first
That's funny, but like that's actually kind of nice because you can phone them up and be like
Instead of being like I need that thing where I get that stuff for free. Oopsie protection
Yeah, you can be like I need Oh protection and they're like, oh, okay
Like it's it simplifies the communication process and I actually do like that's gonna sell a lot of phones
I think that's gonna help them. Like if you're standing in the store and you're like, yeah galaxy s6 or
1m9
One of them. I literally get a free replacement if I screw it up
I mean this is basically Apple care for free and if you want to go for like the like the companies that have your back
Idea, you can get like a t-mobile sim and m9
And like in most cases you're just fine. This is the itchiest thing. I am going crazy
But you know what these guys contributed to our new office campaign
They deserve to have us sit through this when show in this incredibly stinky hot room
Yeah in these clown outfits for the greatest part is we were both handed these outfits like five ten minutes ago
I knew they were here. So I picked them up. I could've told you package. Oh, yeah, they were just in the packaging
Yeah, yes, we didn't wash any of this. Oh, well, it's like burning. Oh
Burning hey, all right, so you should get that lift clinics for that
All right, so let's we're getting a lot more details about the r9
390 X this was posted by me down you on the forum. Can I help you?
Chat said you guys needed an HDMI cable who know the other one joke. What do you what?
You need this
Thanks Nick you tried okay, so this original article here is from techpowerup.com
You want to go ahead and throw that in the throw that in the twitch chat?
more radio
R9 390 X specs a leak. We are expecting it to be close to
70 percent faster than the r9 290 X
This is extremely good news for AMD based on that
We've seen the performance of the GTX Titan X and video has tipped their hand effectively and the GTX Titan X is
fast
But it's not going to be the same kind of butt-kicking
Difference in performance that we have seen in the past
yeah, this is looking like something that could be an extremely close race and rumored pricing that I've seen for the
390 X at least the rumored air-cooled one
There's actually another rumor that there's gonna be both an air-cooled version and a more extreme clock liquid-cooled version
But the rumor is that the air-cooled version will be significantly less
Expensive than the GTX Titan X and you know the thing about the GTX Titan X is that you say the same letter twice?
And it drives me insane. Oh, no that too. GTX Titan X. They're kind of run out of cool letters
What's the next one? You like the Titan J?
GTX powered Z edition 24
No, because they already have a Z. They have a Titan Z. So they got Z and X. Powered Z. Are there any other cool letters?
They gotta start doing more TI's
TI. They have a TI. They gotta come up with something. No, they can roll them together. Titan X TI. Yeah
Yeah, let me just put big wheels on it
all right, so the thing about the Titan X that no one really seems to be talking about is the way that Nvidia kind of
kind of gradually
sorta
Did this?
Did this thing where the original Titan the justification for the thousand dollar gaming card?
Like how this card should realistically be the 980?
No, no, that's a whole other discussion. Okay, so the GTX Titan the original justification for that
unprecedented
$999 price point. I shouldn't say completely unprecedented because the 8800 Ultra was right up around that mark
I think it was around $900
But that was like that was like like that was more of a bin of a card that was available at a lower price
Whereas Titan and Titan X have been the only card available
with that tier of GPU at their launch and it took ages for the 780 TI to come out last time around so
So Titan the way they justified this thousand dollar graphics card was oh, yeah
We've got like all these like glam shots and like, you know
We've got this like green logo on the top of it and it looks all gamer II but no no
This is like a CUDA developer card and like it's for like rendering and stuff because it's got you know
full double precision performance
Remember that was a big pitch Titan Titan. Okay Titan X like hold up Titan X has no such thing
so in the two years in between these cards Nvidia has gone from feeling like they have to justify a
$1,000 gaming card to feeling like a thousand dollar gaming card is just okay
And that's just well, that's our top end gaming card now
So it's really interesting to see that and I'll be I'll be equally interested to see if AMD follows suit or if they go
Right for the Titan X's jugular and release 390 X
significantly cheaper with similar performance now
with that said Titan X runs hot but 390 X I will be
Flored apparently one of us is hitting the table fairly frequently. I think it's me. I will be
floored if the if they
if the 390 X is
more
Uses up less power than the 290 X. Yeah, so Titan X might still come ahead in terms of performance per watt
but
raw performance wise we could be looking at a close race and
care more about raw performance and
G-sync was a big feature that could have sold me an Nvidia card over an AMD card up until very recently and FreeSync is now
Here with that said my only experience with FreeSync so far hasn't been great. Did I tell you about it? No, okay
Is the embargo up? No, I think so. I think other people's reviews are up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I saw the PC per review
So I have a 34 UM 67 that's LG's
2560 by 1080 ultra wide FreeSync monitor and the issue with it is that it's FreeSync
Variable refresh rate window is only from 48 Hertz to 75 Hertz
so it only has like what it what is that like a
27 Hertz window a 27 Hertz window where it both prevents tearing and
And doesn't stutter and and and the refresh rate varies
so if you fall below that you're gonna see the same the same stutter nonsense that you'd like the same choppiness that you'd see without
Variable refresh rate. Yeah and falling below
48 frames per second is the kind of thing that happens even in a game where you're averaging like 60 FPS when something intensive happens
And those are the times when you really feel that stutter
Anyway, so the effectiveness for me was not very good and then the top line performance
So if you were gonna say, okay
Well, then I'll just have my game target like I'm gonna run like way over 48 FPS. So I never dip
Well, your top line is 75 Hertz. So
You're just kind of like you like it like what the pitch with g-sync was that you can use more conservative settings and still get
A playable smooth gameplay experience. That's not the experience I had with that monitor with that said
I hopefully I haven't heard a hundred percent back from AMD yet
But I hopefully have another free sync monitor coming soon that has a 40 Hertz to 144 Hertz window
Where I'll be able to much more comfortably game within that window
Now the cool thing about free sync is that it does support
v-sync on and v-sync off so you can actually choose if your frame rate goes
Above the maximum refresh rate of your monitor
You can get that extra or that that that slight reduction in input latency that you get from higher frame rates
But you'll have to deal with tearing
Once we get really good examples of both sides
It would be an interesting thing to do like I know you're doing your like the single one comparison whatnot
But a side-by-side comparison, I would love to I think that would be awesome
I think something like Ben Q's free sync monitor the 40 to 144 versus the ROG Swift. Yeah
It would be a perfect example. There you go. That'd be really cool. We got to do something like that
Maybe when you're back, we do have a couple more things about 390 X. But yeah, we should do that when I'm back
I think we'll have both by then. Um, so a couple things, uh, blah blah blah. Oh, yeah, it's
apparently gonna have a
4096-bit wide HBM memory bus with up to 8 gigs of RAM clocked at 1.25 gigahertz. So we are talking
Way more memory bandwidth than GTX Titan X completely new memory technology and
AMD claims it will be
Acclaimed single precision floating-point performance figure of 8.6 teraflops. The thing looks like an absolute
Beast the bad news is that AMD isn't rumored to have anything else to flesh out their lineup and the rumor that last rumor
I heard is that a lot of the other 300 series cards are gonna be rebadges of existing 200 series cards
so
There's that at least they've got something and the the one at the top end kind of often
I'll see I don't know how sure this is anymore
But at least back in the day when I was getting people to try to get into computers
I'd see people find and like this is why it's very
Unsurprising that our videos on crazy Titan cards get a whole bunch of views people will find like oh
That's the super awesome card that I want now. I'll go as similar as I can but in my price range
Yep, so if they make the 390 X that kicks freaking but they might still sell more and because of girl
Well, there's so much stuff that's like that whether it's motorcycles or cars or or almost anything
It's it's a brand image right like for example the the house we're in right now is a
Morningstar or something like that. Like it's a reputable builder and
When we were buying it like that was a selling point
It's a Morningstar home the inspection that we had done because we're not idiots and we get inspections done the inspection that we had done
Actually revealed a ton of problems with it
Most of which obviously weren't a big enough issue for us to to not go ahead and and you know
Be here filming videos all the time
But reveal a bunch of problems with it because that's the thing is a brand is just a brand
That actually has nothing to do with how good that individual product is rated on a product
But that is how so many people buy and even yourself even knowing better. Have you ever done it? Yeah, I've done it
Yeah, I'll walk into Home Depot. I'll be like, oh I've heard Bosch is good
I own it. I own a bunch of husky products
So I'll like I had to buy I had to buy a hammer and a level the other day
Cuz I've always used my dad's and I don't live at home anymore. I was like, oh buying tools sucks
Hey, it does but it's fun
It does and like I've been borrowing stuff and I'm trying to like return it
So I'll give him stuff back and then be like, oh crap
That means I have to go get one now
So like I had a hammer and a level from him for years and then I had three years while you're terrible
Seriously, and then I was like I should return this and I give it back and then I have to buy one like the next
Freaking week so I go to the store
I'm like
I don't know what to get and I felt a whole bunch of them and eventually like it came down to a few but
I was like, yeah
It's like three. It's like three extra dollars. Yeah feels better in my hand feels good
I have a lot of their products already. It'll probably be fine. Yeah might not even actually be better
There you go
And tools are tools are like a hilarious one because it's always like lifetime warranty built tough who has ever claimed warranty on a hammer
Yeah, when a hammer dies
You're probably it's probably cuz you're using it and you need one now
So you go buy one and then who's gonna get around to warranting a nine dollar hammer
Not me cause nine dollars to ship something in Canada
So let's just kind of always wanted to make like a tool review channel, but I don't know if people would actually watch it
I it was one of the things that I thought about with like Linus media group earlier on and if I knew anything about tools
It might have happened. Right? All right, let's uh, let's move on. This one was posted by good bites
Yeah, I couldn't do it
That last one was from me down you so this one's from good bites
Microsoft clarifies the whole
Windows 10 upgrades will be free for pirated Windows 7 and Windows 8 as
Well, so the original article here is from Neil win dot net
I'm gonna go ahead and pull this up and I have you posted that in the chat
So upgrading to Windows 10 on pirated versions won't get you a valid license with it's it's it's it is
Technically the upgrade process is free. Yes. They didn't lie you can upgrade
It just doesn't change your license conditions. Yes, so you're still on a pirated version
What that means exactly doesn't appear to be 100% clear yet
So we don't know if you know Microsoft obviously knows who's doing what?
So we don't know if all of a sudden we're gonna be allowed to change our desktop backgrounds on
pirated copies or if we're gonna be able to do this or be able to do that but
Pirates can rest assured that they will get an upgrade to Windows 10 with that said
I don't think pirates were generally concerned about getting an upgrade from Microsoft to Windows 10 anyway
So I don't really I don't really see the point. Yeah of this
I actually think in my theorizing brain
Yeah
That they're gonna do more limiting on Windows 10 for people that have non genuine licenses
And what I think they're trying to do is get people off of the earlier ones
Where there's essentially no limiting other than like making your desktop and then crack it down and then crack down on people
So trying to get people to voluntarily upgrade so that they can crack down on them. Yeah, I think that's what's happening
I don't know that very interesting makes sense to me
We're gonna have a lot of machines to upgrade to Windows 10
Because we didn't go Windows 8 on a lot of our computers like we got a lot of people commenting
Oh, you guys are running Windows 7 on whether it's a test bench or whether it's my machine like yeah
I'm running Windows 7 because I'm not spending a hundred dollars on Windows 8 for a workstation. That's stupid
but Windows 10 does look like it's gonna be a pretty compelling upgrade even if just for the better support for
UI and text scaling. Yeah, so
We're potentially moving to all 4k monitors on our editing workstations. That's something we're working on with LG right now
So everyone's gonna need Windows 10 kind of regardless in order to have a decent computer
Like we were kind of able to get away with like Windows 7 benchmarking for a long time
Yeah, but probably gonna have to move that up
We'll have to absolutely because Windows 10 is gonna be the only one with DirectX 12 support. Yeah, so
Nope get ready for the growing pains. All right, so a Japanese
Supercomputer has simulated one second of brain activity. This was posted by John urs in the forum
So let's go ahead and you didn't know that did you they had said at one point in time that is
Yeah, now they're saying blah blah blah. It would require a complete like reworking of
Whatever. Yeah, so nope forget it. So supercomputer models one second of human brain activity the most accurate
simulation of the human brain ever has been carried out but a
Single seconds worth of activity took one of the largest supercomputers 40
minutes
to calculate with seven hundred and five thousand twenty four cores and
1.4 petabytes of RAM
Wait till your phone can do that. I know right or wait till that thing that's with you couldn't do that
Okay, so let's let's let's do it. Let's do a clock. Let's do some quick number crunching here. So 40 minutes times 60 is
2400 seconds, okay, so
2400 what's like route?
2400 I don't remember how to do that on a calculator. Okay, so
48
Times so route route 2400. Hold on this side. No, no. No, I want the exponential read. Yeah. Why are you doing this?
Okay, can you can you help me? What are you trying to calculate? Okay Moore's law doubling of transistors
I want to know how long until we can do this in real time
Whatever someone in twitch will do the math and
Will make me feel them and then I'll be able to tell you guys and that's how that will work. So
How far are we away from AI?
Probably that far
Crazy that's that's pretty far actually still it is pretty far still but it's it's within scope
Researchers used the K computer in Japan to replicate a network consisting of 1.7 3 billion nerve cells
connected by
10.4 trillion synapses the achievement offers
neuroscientists a glimpse of what can be achieved by using next-generation computers so called exascale computing and
And so exascale computers are those which can carry out a quintillion floating-point operations per second
An important milestone as is thought to be the same power as a human brain and therefore opens the door to potential
real-time simulation of the organs activity
Intel has said that it aims to have such a machine in operation by
2018 I
Don't think that it won't be your phone
It'll be no I know but I don't think that lines up with the Moore's law. No, it doesn't at all actually
No, so then the K computer is technically not brand new either. Yeah, the K computer is not the fastest supercomputer
Definitely not brand new. Yeah, so
Pretty crazy
Scary yeah, I should segue from crazy and sky that could be coming in our lifetime, right?
We should segue from crazy and scary to where the hell is it? I don't know
Musk confirms Tesla will never make an undriveable car
Oh, this won't even be that big of a segment, but I wanted to bring this up posted by pop man on the forum
Did you post that in Twitch already? I will right now
Tesla strongly favors people being able to drive their cars if they want
To do or like a manual takeover, let me get back over the notes here really quick
However, self-driving cars may become safer than human driven cars and the public may actually demand to outlaw
Human driven cars at some point in time and he's a little worried about that
Because he is very famously kind of scared of the whole AI takeover thing, right?
Which is not surprising and being able to fully simulate a human brain in 2018
Oh, yeah, I don't know I'm roost super-excited power to do it
There's still a lot more that needs to be done. Even once we have the computing power, but that is true
That's even so I mean, I don't think a self-driving car ever needs to have AI
I think a self-driving car but a super will can always be pretty dumb, but they totally will
Yeah, they'll need certain cuz it'll be able to react
With you differently and you're gonna have driving cars with Siri built into it and maybe series the one that's actually driving because it's managing
The maps application and maybe serious the one that ends up taking over the world
Maybe it already has a name
Siri net
Super serious, yeah
Okay, oh my god Apple should make a cereal called cereal
Why would Apple make cereal?
Well, okay, maybe they shouldn't do that but they should make one thing after another after another
Cuz then they're
All right, so Samsung's round smartwatch
Speaking of making one thing after another after another with no discernible strategy
Samsung's round smartwatch is coming
this this was posted by nine shadow on the form I'm gonna go ahead and pop this up and
If this seems like a reaction to other round smartwatches, then that's probably what it is
I think there were better. I thought there were better pictures of this
Yeah, like that one. What link is that in Linus tech tips website, bro. Oh, okay. Well rekt, bro
You get rekt, bro
Whatever, bro
bro
got like
This thing is driving me crazy
By the way, we should actually no we shouldn't I take it back forget about it. Don't worry about it. No, okay, it's cool
I was gonna say the front page thing, but they can't click on it. I don't think anyone right?
Okay, okay fine I give up I'm loading up I'm loading up her side
I was trying to I was trying to refer to the site that that it came from
We can give them props. Yeah. All right, so that is what it looks like
It will look like yeah
So if that looks similar to another round smartwatch
Then I guess that probably makes sense because there's only so many things you can do with an LCD display in a metal band around it
It does have a crown. So that's that's definitely different from the moto 360
It also has a button. Yeah, apparently the camera is coming back
So I'm not sure if that's confirmed or a rumor yet. I honestly I've done very little prep on the dock this week
I filmed an unbelievable number of videos this week
And including a build guide I was here at the office until after 1 a.m. Last night
Working on that. So our sub-zero build guide is in the editing queue right now. I'm extremely excited about that
Anyway, well, this is cool. It'll have a rotating bezel ring
So if you wanted to use it for navigation or something then like that's super cool
I don't see people replacing their submariners with this, you know instantly
And so the kinds of people who would want navigation on their wrist might be the kinds of people who would like
Submariners and said like I I don't I don't know that that particular navigation rotating dial thing is gonna sell anyone on it
But that's kind of cool
I still think we need the watch that I proposed a long time ago
Which is like those exact watches that we're talking about with a transparent display on the top
Yes, yeah, even if you don't charge it for a month, it just doesn't matter
But if you're like, I kind of want to be able to use the smartwatch just plug it in overnight
You're good
the stupid thing is that that's the most obvious idea ever and whoever finally does it first is gonna be hailed as some kind of
like visionary genius and it'll be like like one of the like the the the real
The real watch brand. Yeah is going to do it and then all the watch
Aficionados who have been calling smartwatches stupid are gonna be like well
We were just waiting for someone to do it right because they have that brand loyalty
It's gonna have nothing to do with the actual technology
Yeah
if this one's gonna be called the Orbis and can be used on a band a clip a keychain or a
Bracelet no word on pricing. I did get word from pebble
I am NOT getting a pebble steel, but I think I'm getting a regular pebble time or pebble time steel or a steel time
Or whatever. Anyway, we'll steal time steel time
Microsoft Windows 10 ROM
For Android phones, so this is supposed to buy on being on the forum
The original article here is from trusted reviews as far as I can tell today. Everything is supposed to buy on me
Yeah, I'll make good work on a roll this week
So Microsoft wants to put Windows 10 on your Android phone this particular picture here happens to be a just regular Windows 10 phone
that's also available in Android flavors the one I made and happens to be the and that also happens to be the the source of a
lot of
Disgruntled viewers who were like super upset at me for saying that Windows phone
Has like no place on a high-end phone
So hopefully that isn't gonna be true anymore. But at any rate
For some reason if you wanted to put Windows maybe
Windows Phone 10 will be like way better or I shouldn't call it Windows Phone 10 because it's Windows 10
But like the phone version will be like way better or something
so the official statement is through a new program with zow me Inc one of the top smartphone distributors in the world a select group of
Me for power users will be invited to help test Windows 10 and contribute to its future release later this year
They'll have the opportunity to download the Windows 10 technical preview install it and provide their feedback to Microsoft
So it'll effectively override Android turning it into a Windows 10 device
I don't know how it's done on mobile, but I and I don't know if this is still a thing
But I know for a while there
Windows 10 at least for desktop had a pretty hardcore key vlogger in it
So might want to look into the privacy stuff before you install this on your phone
Because it's like I understand the reason why they have it
It's because they're trying to test things so they kind of want to know what you're doing with the device and they're not hiding it
They tell you about it, but a lot of people kind of just spam next
like me
So you might not notice if you're gonna put it on your phone
They might be listening to a little bit more than what you're doing here. I don't know
so just
Be vigilant wary. Yeah, be excellent to each other speaking of being excellent to each other. We should be excellent to our sponsor
Linda.com is the first sponsor today's wad show. This is my sponsor voice
It's very different from my regular voice because it's much more obnoxious. You wouldn't have thought it possible
No, anyway, Linda.com is used by millions of people around the world. Think about that millions of people
That's like more than 1 million. Yeah, and at least 2 million
Yeah, it could be any number of million you actually don't know they have more than
3,000 courses available with topics like web development photography visual design and business and they offer software training
So Linda.com is not just for like young people looking to start their career and like learn something new
It's also great for developing and like kind of catching up on
Skills that have sort of caught you by surprise over the last little bit
So while you guys might already have a Linda.com subscription, or maybe you don't feel like you need one
What about your parents who don't know how to use Word or Excel or whatever else Linda.com has
Experts teaching you in a friendly manner at your own pace and is super cool
It's also affordable and if you're worried about whether the price is actually worth it for you
They offer a 10-day free trial by heading over to a Linda.com
slash wan show so you can go ahead and try it out find out if it's right for you and then start learning today
We have another sponsor today, and I don't know who it is because I went ahead and I scrolled somewhere else in the thing here
Oh, oh cool. Oh our second sponsor today is Massdrop. We like Massdrop except that they keep stealing my money
Well, it's not really stealing. They just they have deals on their master. Thank you. Can you just
It's not really stealing if they just have deals on their site, and then I willingly give them my credit card information. That's like
Actually not stealing it all opposite right so buying things well anyway, whatever we have a feature drop today
these are the Audio Technica MSR sevens and
Now they're being worn by a clown yay
Wow noise isolation on these is actually this might be the only time that they're worn by a clown all right
This is an over-the-ear closed back headphone. It's got 45 millimeter true motion drivers
It's available in black or gunmetal and Massdrop is offering a special bundle with the Atlan
Mod mic and a headphone stand that's pretty cool. That is a pretty cool
That's a pretty good deal pretty BA gaming setup anyway
The point is whether you're interested in these headphones or not Massdrop has lots of cool stuff
So if you head over to draw it up, sir slash wan show you can check. I know right draw the
Draw drops it whatever. It's here, so if you head over and draw it up
So slash wan show you can check them out the whole idea is
The more people buy a given deal the lower the price goes and Massdrop works directly with manufacturers and distributed
Distributors to make sure that the products you're buying are genuine and they are the best possible deal
So let's go ahead and move on to our last sponsor another one of my favorite sponsors
It's like all the like awesome sponsors that we like use all the time here today. Sorry about that. That was my bad
Okay, so let's go ahead and drop this baby in here
So this is the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit
And this is like some glam b-roll that Berkel shot of it. Oh you have one on you Luke. Oh, it's yours
Okay, well whatever the point is it has tons of hard-to-find bits like security torques is those tri wings that were up there a second
Ago it comes with an anti-static wrist strap as well as a variety of little pokers and prodders and prying tools
I use this thing
I won't say every day because some days I don't go to work
And I don't have any personal projects that I'm working on but what I will say is I use this
multiple times per week and
Multiple times per month I run into a situation where there would have been no other way for me to deal with it
Yeah, that's what I run into actually. I don't use it
Maybe as frequently as you do, but there are probably just as many times where I would have to use it
I literally have it in my backpack at all times. Yeah, so there's that so you are
You guys are gonna want to use offer code
When show zero three to save ten bucks on any purchase of fifty dollars or more from iFixit
They have great guides on how to fix your electronics and then conveniently what a racket these guys have
Conveniently, they list all the tools you need from their web store in order to complete aforementioned repair
The good news is that you can afford to buy yourself a bunch of cool tools from them
Fix that thing
For what you would have spent and sometimes less than what you would have spent having someone else do it in the first place
And now you own a bunch of tools very often
Alright, so let's go ahead and move on to our next topic of the show here. What do you got?
Why do you keep holding that up? Remember? We're gonna talk about this. Oh, right. No, you talk about it. Yeah
Yeah, we're fine. He's finally doing it you guys he's finally doing it
I
Phone and I have no idea what I'm doing with it. I don't understand how this thing works at all. It's an iPhone 5s
It's a 5s. Okay. Yeah, um, I wasn't gonna do this switch
But then something that we're using as a back end for something
Super specific has an app that I like super need to use because I need to be able to monitor how it's working
Very closely over the next little while and they only have an iPhone app. So I
The yell is hitting the twitch chat now. All right the years are appears
Huh? I'm bad. Um, so yeah, I had to at least temporarily at the very least to give up my moto x4
Yeah
That one's a little smaller. Yeah, you may actually end up liking it after a while
You have to give it like at least a month. I think it's okay. There's some super crazy frustrating suffer
I know one like the super cool fingerprint thing doesn't work at all
I spent like 10 minutes trying to get my fingerprint working on it
And every single time there would be like one line left and it's like no. No, I don't know what that is
You got it. You've got it. Got it. Okay. No, seriously. No, it works for me every time doesn't work at all
I don't even know how to do it. I'll help you. I'll help you. I'll help you want to do it live
So people don't think I'm crazy. Okay privacy touch ID and passcode
Oh, you got this. No. Yeah privacy. Why would it be under privacy? That's stupid. What I'm kidding. That makes perfect sense
Okay, okay. They can't really okay. Don't move your finger too much. Okay. Okay. Yeah
Well, you can leave it. I'll leave it on leave it on wait. It's doing the vibrate thing. Okay, okay
It tells you when it's done. Okay?
Yeah, watch it work the first time
Finger moved. I did not move my finger
You
Okay, it's filling in yeah, it would normally get you yeah, okay, uh-huh
Try a different finger this fingerprint cannot be read. Do you just have like unreadable fingerprints? No, it looks super normal
Maybe try like cleaning it off and like clean off your finger or something before you before you try. Okay
Well, I'll try it again and talk to you when you try that and I'll do another topic in the meantime
Let's see if you can let's see if you can do it. You keep keep working on it live. Let them let them see
Okay, so he's gonna keep he's gonna keep working on that in the meantime
I actually do have some Apple stuff to talk about. Oh, this is unfortunate. We actually had an entire separate
topic for FreeSync posted by Sparta man on the forum
And I think we talked about pretty much all of this already. So thanks for the man. Yeah, there's that. Thanks for man
Oh, okay spider-man, I was gonna
another article
Posted by a nine shadow on the forum. Yeah, you can I guess they can't really see it
There's like two lines left and I hold my finger and it fills them and then it vibrates and they go
Oh, I got it. No, it didn't. Yeah. No, no, it did adjust your good
Now you can now you do the rest of the movie. You've got you got this broke. You got this
All right, you just needed my encouragement to uh, the moral support to make it to the end. Yeah
Ah
Okay
This is from 9 to 5 Mac Apple to launch
Android device trade-in program to encourage iPhone upgrades
Very very interesting now. This isn't the first time that Apple has done some kind of an upgrade program
In fact, they first introduced one. Um
Um, I can't remember I read this article and I knew the date but someone who did the notes for this article didn't put
It in the notes. No big deal
But anyway, they did one in the past for their own devices and they saw a big boost in sales
well now they're offering it for
Blackberry and Android devices so Apple retail store employees after a
training program are going to be able to determine trade-in values for devices by considering their cosmetic and
Functional condition they will be able to transfer address book contacts from the rival smartphones to iPhones
But other data will have to be moved by the customer
It'll be available in multiple countries including the United States and United Kingdom
So the existing trade-in program is known for its consistency and convenience
But pricing is typically not necessarily the best
I think Amazon offers an excellent one where they do a quote over the internet and then they send it back to you extremely quickly
They offer you a label so you don't have to pay shipping and stuff like that
So there you go guys
Very interesting. That's awesome. Oh
This is cool. Okay. Yeah, so are our like our new bros
Like these guys are definitely our bros because they like make cool stuff and it's pretty cool
45 drives if you guys have heard of these before. Okay, if you heard of backblaze before these guys kind of
It's a long relationship and you can actually read about it on the 45 drives blog
But it's a long relationship that eventually has turned into the development of the storage pod the 45 drive
For you storage pod one of which is actually going to be it would have been here now
And I would have been able to like show it to you guys if there wasn't a 100 centimeter of snow
Drop on the 45 drives guys. Well not allowing them to ship it to us
But basically it is what it says it is. It is a single for you rackmount case that holds
45
Drives and is able to handle sustained speeds in excess of one gigabyte per second. They are highly customizable
They are they're actually they're sending us one that we're gonna be deploying at our new office as a mass storage 100 plus terabyte server
We have a really really exciting new server setup coming. We're gonna have multiple servers
okay, just one one thing we should do though just so that loony can stop having a hernia is once we
Get all these things deployed. We need to post them on the 10 terabyte thread. We will on the forum. We will yeah
We will yeah, we are gonna we are gonna make our own thread in the forum. Oh, that's the 100 terabyte thread
Oh, yeah, that's right. Well, we are gonna make a 100 terabyte plus thread to coexist
And we are gonna join both clubs because the way this is gonna work is we are gonna have somewhere in the neighborhood of 30
plus drives installed in our 45 drives rack and
It is gonna be bananas. Now. This is kind of cool
They actually have a couple of other products as well that they just launched
So they they have the the 45 one that I think I've talked about a fair bit
But they actually have a quiet one now
So something that most server grade gear is not is quiet if you've ever fired up like a rack mount switch
Yeah, or any kind of like especially like a 1u or a 2u server
Those things are redonkulous. They'll put tiny little fans in it and then just rip them at like 5,000 rpm
So the one that they originally wanted to send us until I explained that we had like probably 50 to 60 terabytes of storage
Sitting on drives on a shelf in our bathroom already was the q30 here
And the idea is that this is for like video production studios and offices. They actually custom build all their rigs
They're more like they're actually more like a custom boutique
They're more like a boutique system builder then like a then like strictly speaking like out like a storage appliance
Yes, I've talked to them on the phone before and then this one
unfortunately
This way I had no opportunity to get in on I didn't even know the XL 60 was coming
They now have a 60 drive single for you rack
60 redundant power drives and boot drives and 10 gigabit Ethernet. Can we get that one? No
It's like a full additional like fifteen a hundred Canadian dollars. So yes, but there are pros right? They're nice
Yeah, I know right they're not rose. So they're not bump right or something. I don't know
They're not cheap, but that does include hardware. So that includes like motherboard CPU RAM power supply case does not include 10 gigabit land
Blah blah blah all that stuff, but does not include drives
So guys stay tuned because we have like a crazy setup. So
Okay, I'll tell you guys a fair bit. We're hoping now this is not confirmed yet
We're hoping to have a purely solid-state large rate array for like the day-to-day drive
You'd be big like a really big braid array, then we're hoping to have like a similar sized
Magnetic rate array for like I mean given how fast that SSD array is gonna be we could do like hourly backups realistically
Like there's no reason we can do that. We're gonna have IO to spare so we could do like hourly backups to that
Then we're gonna have the 45 drive storinator, which by the way is gonna be customized with like our logo on the front stuff
Sick, yeah, I know right. So we're gonna have the storinator to archive everything else from that point on
So I'm extremely excited about this. These guys make super cool products and
Someone in the chat just said and you can't afford AC. Normally I'd like jump on with that like yeah, but like no
If when you run a company your data is extremely important
Yeah data is so much more important than being cool losing all of your data can crush your entire company
Yep, so like would you spend ten thousand dollars to save your entire company?
Yes, would you spend ten thousand dollars to be a bit more comfortable if you're me? No, look at my car
Point point proven QED suckers. All right, let's go ahead and oh this is this is crazy
This was the original article here was posted by actually the old MCIX cameraman linked me to this
We still chat once in a while
The post on hard OCP from someone claiming to be an employee tiger direct
Closing most North American retail stores apparently all but three of them are
Excuse me, all but four of them are
Closing so the post here says that there's lots of screaming yelling and tears
People are in disarray
Especially the ones that have been with the company a very long time and here are some of the signs that you're going to see
Soon, I mean, you know what?
When's the last time you like were compelled to buy anything on Tiger direct?
Okay, well they don't hear but they do in Canada like they do in in Ontario I read this and was like
What yeah. Oh, yeah, cuz they acquired comp USA back in the day. Okay, I actually knew who they were
Yeah, so they took their stores
Yeah
And they have their own stores already if I recall correctly like Tiger used to be and who they were from like old gaming magazines
Like old PC gamers before there was like YouTube the the the PC hardware
Margin structure does not support retail stores
The reason that your local retail computer store exists is services. Yeah
services and like
Overcharging because you can call it overcharging if you could buy it online at Amazon or NCIX or whatever for cheaper
You could call that overcharging
but what I'll say is that they're not overcharging if that's the margin that they have to charge in order to keep the walls up and
The heat on in the AC on in their store. So I don't know you can call that whatever you want
Because there is not a lot of margin in this and Tiger was a heavily retail-oriented business
So if you look at other retail stores and see I X for example has retail stores, but they're supported by an extremely large
Online and business to business division to two extra divisions that help make those retail stores make sense
So this does not surprise me
You know, I don't know what the answer is
But it feel it felt like back when I was especially in the computer retailer business. It really felt like
Something had to be done at some level, you know, whether it's like Seagate and forcing minimum pricing or whoever
Enforcing minimum pricing and a lot of the time it did exist minimum advertised price map price that that is a thing that exists
Particularly in the u.s. I think Apple does it like
Remember if it's illegal in Canada or it used to be and isn't anymore
I don't remember Matt Matt prices like I don't think it's technically enforceable
Anyway, like I would sit there and I would go how do we fix this? How do we make the sustainable business?
So someone other than Nvidia and Intel is making money in this industry
And no answer came so I'm not in the computer retailer business. It's no longer my problem if any of the stuff sells or makes any money
Half-life 3 this is posted by Romello be the best half-life 3 is apparently not
likely
Gabe Newell in a recent interview kind of came on and was like well
Look, I get it like, you know story driven stuff is like good and like, you know
If there's like a novel series that I enjoy or a TV show and I want to know what happens next like that's super cool
And there's a lot of anticipation
But then he goes on to talk about how valves business model and the landscape of gaming has changed and
I think he said something I don't remember the exact quote
but the only reason we'd go back and do like a super classic kind of product is if a whole bunch of people just
Internally at valve said they wanted to do it and had a reasonable explanation for why they wanted to do it
But you know if you want to do another half-life game and you want to ignore everything
We've learned in shipping portal 2 and in shipping all the updates on the multiplayer side. That seems like a bad choice
So we'll keep moving forward but that doesn't necessarily always mean what people are worried that it might mean
So does this mean like a half-life MMO or half-life some kind of like free-to-play like MOBA or like?
I don't know what this means. Maybe it means a novel ization
Maybe it means I don't know. I think they're just throwing money away
Because of their corporate structure. I think they need it. They don't need it. You're right
but if you can learn from Apple have a
Ridiculous or didn't specifically Nintendo if you learn from Nintendo having a ridiculous amount of money sitting in the bank
So that if something changes down the line and everyone's like, oh my god, Nintendo is totally failing
They're gonna be bankrupt in two days and they're like, oh wait, they have money for 25 years. It's not a bad thing
It's not a bad position to be in. I think they should push half-life. But oh, well like just looking at the amount of demand
they could just release like a pretty good version like they're like
We tried pretty hard, but I don't think they want to do that
No, I'm not saying they would and I don't think they want to do that
But if they did it would still be a huge smashing hit
Yep, like and valve would go over the top and do it, right?
And then it would be ridiculously massive and make but tons of money
So basically the the TLDR is we don't feel like that. Yeah, we don't feel like doing it. Nope
Yeah, we're making an awful lot of money because you suckers buy Team Fortress hats. So
Basically, yeah Team Fortress hats and CSGO skins. They make way more of Team Fortress hats and CSGO skins than they do
Also the game. Yeah, I mean I for all the you know
Lord Gabe and stuff and all that kind of stuff and valve worshiping that goes on mostly I hope
They're just a business. Yeah, like they do things the way that they do them and they have that because integrity
Because it works. It's like there's that famous Gabe Newell quote. Don't lie to the internet because they'll catch you
He didn't say don't lie to the internet because it's wrong
Like yeah, let's not let's not misunderstand what valve is as a company their company
They exist to ship products that are profitable for them as a company
They don't do things out of the just like joy of you know, doing things all day
I mean, I think that if it was just purely for joy
They wouldn't worry about little micro transaction at every step here and there and I'm not saying
That many of the developers at valve probably close to all of them
I'm not saying they don't do it out of joy and out of passion
They definitely do anyone in that kind of an industry has got to have some passion for it
I'm just saying it's a business the things they do are calculated business decisions. Not random. Yeah
All right
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. There are really cool things about this
All right, blah blah blah. Okay. This was posted by Thomas D
And it's the original article here is from torrent freak and the FCC internet
policy thing is actually looking not as
fantastic as
as some people might have
Hoped I think we called it. So you called it specifically. I don't think I did
So they included a copyright loophole that many protested against
nothing in in this in this part prohibits a reasonable effort by a
Provider a broadband internet access service to address copyright infringement or other unlawful activity
The FCC argues that copyright infringement hurts the economy. So ISPs are free to take appropriate measures against this traffic
Activists have stated that carving a copyright loophole and net neutrality would leave your lawful activities at the mercy of overbroad copyright filtering schemes
and we already have plenty of experience with copyright enforcers targeting legitimate users by mistake carelessness or
Design, so remember guys, this is an article on torrent freak calm. We know exactly what their focus is. It's right in the name. Yeah
but
That doesn't mean that the whole net neutrality thing is as cut and dried as yeah, there's neutral internet
There's a huge you get that speed everywhere all the time. No matter what. Yeah, it was never gonna be that potential
Loophole now and like the a big problem with copyright law is that it's so abusable on both sides
It's not even just one so they could be like, oh well you like
Screenshot at a page therefore made a copy of a photo once five years ago. Therefore you get 10% speed all-time screen
Well, did my I put my hair up I get why my wife does that now that makes a big difference
Difference she was like, yeah, I'm warm. I'm putting my hair up. I'm like, how could that possibly help?
it helps I
Got insight. There is an insulator. How did you know?
Well, no, I know I know but I didn't I didn't think just the back of your neck made that big of a dip
I don't whatever screw you man. Um, alright, so our next topic today
posted by four members
Andrew with a four and a capital N for whatever reason Tesla is now allowed to sell directly in New Jersey
This shouldn't be news. This should never have been anything. They should have been able to sell their cars or whoever they want
Regardless and do it directly without dealerships, but you look better with your hair. Yeah. Thank you
But the the governor made it made it banned and then now it has been reversed one year after
They were originally told they were not allowed to do it. There are some stipulations
I think they have to have what for retail stores and a service center
I know they're only allowed to open for retail stores and they must open one service center
There's many stores as they wanted. Yeah, that's so stupid. I love the quote from Elon Musk
Comes after Elon Musk compared local dealers to a mafia protection racket subverting the democratic process. Damn
You got told son kind of true. Yep. It's like the whole taxi driver thing here in Vancouver
Yeah, we're like uber cannot be here because by law
Only taxis may drive you places
Yeah
You have got to be kidding me a better service comes along and you are
It's not allowed to compete with the crappy service
Like can you imagine if when the refrigerator was invented like like no ice boxes are the only thing allowed being sold in Vancouver
Yeah, or like restaurants may not use refrigerators
They must use ice boxes because what would happen is what would happen to the ice harvesters?
if not for that, I don't know maybe they could go be refrigerator salespeople like
The world changes with taxi drivers could become uber drivers. Whoa
And then they might actually have to be polite to their customers
Whoa
Like if they screw you over and go the wrong route because you're tired and just got off a plane
You could dispute the fare and get your money back. Whoa
Which Brandon and I have done quite a few times on trips really compare the trip
We'll get back to the hotel and be like that seemed like a roundabout
Like it seemed like they went the long way, right?
And then we just Google Maps check out the uber map of the drive that we just did be like hmm dispute get money back
It's happened like quite a few times just like that man and you know because you'll be able to see like this was the route
He did this
Okay
Like with Google Maps, I'll give you traffic information
So sometimes I'll even check in the car instead of correcting. I'll be like, whatever. I'll just work on my phone
Let me get there and dispute
Get rekt son. Yeah. All right, so Nintendo's next console NX which
Basically only exists as a slide in a presentation about that. They're working on something
This was posted by top war gamer on the forum and the original article here is from Kotaku
And I'm just gonna wait for the article to come up so that you guys can have like the punchline
Now available for pre-order
What I love the picture that they use like Eevee games, Australia
Nintendo have confirmed and by the way, it's has confirmed games
Nintendo have confirmed they're developing a dedicated gaming platform. Normally. I wouldn't be a stickler about something like that
I wouldn't be like haha
You are a bad person because you used Rowan it's like but like when you're being an idiot in general already
And okay, and when it's like the press output
I'm gonna like pot I'm gonna pile on with the codename NX they've said more info will come next year
It's March
Like next year isn't like and that's more info next year isn't six weeks from now like
The NX is now available for pre-order in store
We literally know absolutely nothing about it
I mean aside from wanting to be the person with bragging rights
Because you were the first person who pre-ordered a Nintendo NX or whatever they end up calling it
maybe they'll call it the poo this time because
We left too much to the imagination
um, I
I this is ridiculous. I'm done absolutely like they're trying to redo the Duke Nukem thing where people had like pre-order slips from ten
years ago
Like people are gonna have pre-order strips from literally possibly two years cuz they're like we will give you more information
Next year not it's releasing next year. This will give you more information. I'll be like, oh it's a this
Like they announced the Wii a while before it came out. Mm-hmm. They announced things before they come out. The Nintendo Direct is awesome
I love Nintendo Direct
all right, let's go ahead and
Alright showed the document instead of the actual page that I'm supposed to show
Uh, this was posted by Victoria's Secret and you know how Macs just work and they're super secure apparently Safari's private browsing mode saves
URLs in an X in an easily accessible file. So
This this this shot is great. I wonder if he created this screenshot at work
No, no, really. I have to go on Pornhub so that I can like make a screenshot of how I went on Pornhub
Really? I promise. That's why I'm on Pornhub. He did only go to the home page. Oh, I guess that's true
Yep, look at that
Database structure page URL boom. So if you're using Safari on your Mac for your private browsing needs you might want to not do that
like at all
That's so awkward
Yeah, now everyone in the audience that has like a brother or sister that owns a Mac is gonna run and go look at their
Rack them. Hey, mom and dad look. Oh
Don't tell them we told you we don't want to get like angry calls from like
people's parents being like or like tweets like my son told me that I
Was shopping for one of these
That's my personal thing. I keep in my nightstand. I didn't think my husband did that. Oh
Yeah
Wow, I don't want to be responsible for that. All right, so Nvidia is supposed to buy arming on the forum
So kick guru dotnet and says that Nvidia's Pascal
architecture's NV link could enable eight way multi GPU
capabilities
Well, it also promises some other improvements including better communication between the cards in SLI
Which is one of the big reasons that SLI doesn't scale as well as it could
Because you need a ton of bandwidth in order like the more cards you add the more they don't have to talk with each other
It's think with the RAM sharing thing. Yeah, they have to actually share that that's a lot of talking. Yeah
Yeah, so so blah blah blah blah blah, even the Intel Core i7 5960x only has 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes
Therefore I can connect up to four cards using PCIe
3.0 8x and video will implement support of their proprietary NV link bus into its next generation Pascal GPUs each
NV link point-to-point connection will support 20 gigabytes per second of bandwidth in both directions simultaneously and each Pascal
High-end GPU will support at least four such links
So PCI Express bandwidth would be preserved for CPU to GPU communications
And that's it. It's projected to deliver up to two times higher performance in many applications
compared to PCIe
Among pure GPUs. So IBM apparently plans to add NV link to select power processors for supercomputers as
Well, so just to be clear that 20 gigabytes per second of bandwidth between cards is about half of what a card has
Total right now to communicate with like, you know
If it had to overflow to system memory or communicate with the CPU or with another GPU or like to other GPUs
Ballin that's crazy. Yeah, this is this is just generally crazy
I
Really want to be we got to make sure that they give us eight cards
Yeah, I want multi GPU scaling to not suck. That would be super cool. Yeah, I
Think that's pretty much all I had for the show today. I
Could do a live unboxing of the new razor blade. I can talk more about this. I had other complaints
Why don't I go get the razor blade while you talk about that, but that's like all the topics I have for this week
Yeah, why don't we do a Twitter blitz?
Yeah, we haven't done a Twitter blitz in forever. Okay. Well, it's open season guys
Hit us at Linus tech on Twitter and I was in negatives of me switching to an iPhone
We'll take your we'll take your we'll take your tweets when I get back with oh, yeah. Is there no it's not a question
Yeah, just open-ended. Wow. It's been a while. I know we haven't done that in forever
We've always got so many topics to cover we do. All right
I'm getting up here finally a week where it wasn't super cool. I have to log in with my finger. Wait, what? Oh
Oh, oh, it's an or yeah
I want to you can set up multiple fingers to try again
Try again Wow second life try again
I'm gonna assume it's try again. Come on
Your passcode is required to enable touch ID really
Okay, so my other complaints if I I needed this for a piece of back-end software for something that I'm using or not
Piece of back-end software for an app that monitors a piece of back-end software that I'm using for a project that I'm not gonna talk
About right now. It doesn't work on Android. They only have an iPhone app
So I had to switch from my moto X to a iPhone 5s. I think this is yeah
Hey, the background moves a little bit when I move around that's
kind of distracting
anyways
So the first thing that I do when I get the phone is like, okay
I want to use this freaking app to see if it like works properly because I switched to this
Freaking phone for this freaking apps the freaking app better work properly
So I go to download it and I go into the store and I'm like, okay
This is fairly straightforward search type the thing in
Install next whatever then it sits there for like a super long time doing
Absolutely nothing and I'm like what the hell they're like five minutes later
It's like but I need a password
For this and I need you to type it in like three times and enable this thing and click next here and all this
Kind of stuff. I'm like, I'm trying to install a
free app
Why do you need all this crap?
Why is this so ridiculous and then it sent me like six emails?
It's like whoa, you logged in on this device and you activated this thing and you downloaded this free app
Which you apparently need an invoice email for and like all this other crap. How else would you know you didn't pay anything?
It's so annoying Ben
Stop messing with me
I'll never stop messing with you. It's annoying me and then like, okay, okay
I went to go install Twitter and Instagram and I noticed on both of them
There was a little tag that said essentials and I was like, oh, that's cool
Maybe there's like a super incredibly common app area called essentials and I can't find yeah
The App Store searches is not very good. It's terrible. I searched for essentials. I searched into
What are these popular categories popular collections? I was like, oh that's obviously gonna have
Essentials, but it has made in Canada just in case anyone gave any craps that a kind of that an app was made in Canada
Ridiculous, we're Canadian. We're sort of over us not being important. That's fine. That is fine. All right, so here we go
It's not even there browse my category books business catalogs education entertainment finance food and drink
Oh velocity asks will the Titan X deliver better gaming performance than a 980 kingpin. Yes, of course
Yes, a 980 is a 980 and it can be a fast 980, but it's still a 980
Although I do want to kind of do the price for performance comparison thing between a kingpin and Titan X
Do you know of a third-party Wi-Fi booster case to operate quadcopters for longer distances haven't used anything like that personally
although I have heard that they
Like like I've heard about them. I don't know if they specifically exist yet
But in what format will videos about the new office be they'll probably be kind of vlog style. Yeah
with bits and things that happen
Does the Razer Naga mouse have too many side buttons to be usable for games like Skyrim my craft and other games with hotbars
What kind of a question is that?
I don't actually get it you count how many buttons it has and then you figure out how many things you want to buy into buttons
And then that's a very personalized. I think you're attacking him a little bit too much. I think that was mean
Well, no, but like you need to take a step back
What kind of a question is that buddy bro, does it have too many fell down buddy?
You have too many walls because like the the mobile one has less and they're larger and more clickable
So maybe he's like well your finger will get lost and I don't need that but you can't ask if it has too many
Yeah, oh, come on now. Um, are you guys planning on reviewing the mrs7 from a stop?
I actually wasn't planning to I've only listened to it very very briefly and
Headphone reviews don't always do the best for us. So like we have a bazillion other things on the go right now
So that was that was on the like bottom of the priority list
Wait, what do we tweet to you about?
not that
No, specifically that just got an r9 290 first desktop GPU after a laptop for four years. Yeah, that would be amazing
Holy crap, what's my take on Paul and Kyle's new show?
What's the difference between that and this show except clown suits except it being worse. They have no clowns
They are is being clearly better. Yeah, because clown suits because I'm Kyle and you're Paul. Yeah, you saw that
Yeah, we had a show that was exactly their show were we smile Paul Luke and Linus
Yes, this so this show has four hosts. We simulated the experience. Yeah, um
Were you surprised by the tight next price? Yeah, actually I was expecting it to be higher. I was
1300 yeah, I thought they were gonna go 1299 with him and but I thought it would be do it double precision. So
Yeah, I think that's exactly what happened what do you think about the flash boost ah, this is a badminton racket question
I was like, no, I I didn't break it yet
I have actually I've whacked it on the floor once and I've had a couple of clashes with people
I was playing with someone who's like
super inexperienced and
and she actually whacked her racket against mine pretty bad and
yeah, that's who and
No, it didn't break. The flash boost hat is is renowned for being made of glass and breaking extremely quickly
I was quite worried that it was gonna break. I did get the 5u version which is the slightly not as light and
Fragile version so maybe that saved it not 100% sure. Do you think there'll be a 980 TI? Oh, I don't know
No, wait, what? No, no, wait
No
That would that would completely break their naming scheme because the 980 is already a fully enabled gm204
So a TI would only be a clock speed bump and I really don't think it has that much left in it
whereas like a 780 versus
Set so like so a 980 TI to be significantly faster than a 980 would have to be GM 200
Which would be the same GPU as Titan X which but then they've screwed with that before
Maybe they just really crippled GM 200 once yields are better and costs are lower. Yeah, it's
7,500 live viewers a new record
That's a lot. Holy crap. That is a lot
Richard says you're gonna grow to love the iPhone. I
Any chance of doing super fight on channel super fun, is this like I have that or something? Oh, I have that is it
That's a card game. Oh you you get I've never played it, but I had it. Oh, no
we have a bunch that came in the super fun super the
Loot crate. Okay, cool. Yeah, yeah, let's do it
It's like a you you get different attributes and you essentially get like a fighter and then you have to debate over why your fighter
Would be the other person's fighter. Oh, wow. That sounds like the most annoying game ever to play with
You me Burkle and Taran
Yeah, us four would be the most annoying people to fight again. Taran will be the single most obnoxious person in the world
to play that game with
Any more info on the plans for the layout of the new office? Nothing yet
But it's actually one of our community members who designed the layout of the inside. I don't know if even you and he's no
I know that yeah, and so we're doing a really good job development, too
we're gonna have him as a guest on the land show once it's done and
We'll have him sort of talk through a lot of the a lot of the process a lot of the processes that went into it
I've had some like feedback for him and he'll instantly hit me back with a new rendered update like within minutes, which is insane
I'll send him a question and I'll get an email back before I can like go to another tab and come back
Yep, he's he's been incredible. He's good
Um, so Peter asks is a sir sending you a free sync version of the 144 Hertz IPS monitor as well
I'm not that I'm aware of I'm not aware that that monitor exists
You got to understand free sync versus G sync isn't like a toggle switch that they hit inside the monitor
It is a completely different monitor like it could have the same panel maybe
But it would be a completely different interface behind it
So no, it doesn't work that way like monitors will just be what they are
And there won't you won't be like freezing G sync version like like, you know space gray and you know
Titanium black or whatever. This looks like real dyed hair. No
Yep, you look horrible. Yeah. Oh
That's why you put it back. Oh, yeah. Yeah, because good old Linus for cells like where'd your hat go?
You just got it's back. It's back. Just back just for you Linus, man. Just for you, man
So uncomfortable, but it's back. Does anyone in the office actually use crunchy? Well, I think so. I have okay. Well, you go. Yeah, I
I won't claim that I do
Not much of an anime guy myself me either I've just I've used it I understand the service. Yeah, so there's that. Yeah, I
wanted to use it because
Honestly, I didn't know it existed until they started sponsoring us really and yeah
Cuz I had watched like I'm not that big into anime
But I'll watch some of it sometimes just to kind of understand what one group of my friends is freaking talking about, right?
Cuz one group of my friends is super super hardcore. Yeah. Yeah, so I'll watch some of it sometimes
I don't have any friends. So it's not a problem for me
I was like, oh this service could make it way easier because I don't know they get this stuff from
Wherever. Well, I don't know. There's like a bazillion anime. Yeah, and I'll try to find it. I'm like, I don't
And there'll be like these free sites then you're like, this is sketchy
Not have the right subtitles and that I can't find the right episode like
So, yeah simplified things, okay, this is a good one
What is your favorite flavor of pie slash cake strawberry rhubarb pie strawberry rhubarb pie? Really? That's your favorite. Yeah. Oh
What's yours? Um
Wow, okay. It's kind of tough because like a really good blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream
Like is pretty much to die for if I've had blueberry pie. It was like 10 years ago blueberry pies amazing
I've never had like a I don't think before my aunt like stabs me in the throat
I don't think I've ever had like a homemade blueberry pie
Oh blueberry pie is amazing and like you blueberry pie can be out like you can get the like the super sweet blueberry pie
Where it's kind of like like like a sugar gel
Yeah, holding the blueberries together and that can be really good if you're in the mood for that
but then I'd probably be more into the a more natural blueberry pie where it's just
Like a sugared crust and then blueberries like just basically like the guts are just damn packed with blueberries
That sounds awesome with vanilla ice cream is like to die for I'm not into the French vanilla personally
But it would work with that too. Yeah, and then for cake, I actually really like the TNT fruit cake
Like TNT is a local a local like Asian supermarket. I've never had that
Yeah, my wife has learned to clone it just like the Chinese do ice and um nice so she can make it herself
Although we we usually buy it anyway, because it's an awful lot of work for her to make it for cake
I like just like ice cream cakes or like a
Strawberry cheesecake, you know, I had so much ice cream cake as a kid. I can't even look at them now
Really?
It's funny because I like ice cream and I'll eat certain kinds of cake but something about whether it's the like the the chocolate crunchy
Um bowl and this and that and that the big problem with ice cream cake
Is that the vast majority of them use that crappy whipped topping? Yeah whipped topping kills anything
Just is what is fondant instantly? Just Oh fondant is evil horrible
Yeah
I had never tried fondant until bless your hearts some members of our community sent me that not to a fan cake
I think looked amazing. It looks so cool. Yeah, I took one bite of it and then I was like
Wow
Whatever this stuff on top of it is is not very good at all. The inside was actually good
I ended up like hollowing out a few pieces
No joke. I was like, I don't have any food right now actually, so I hollowed out some cake pieces
Yeah, that's uh, even without food. It was not worth eating the fondant. That was horrendous
Yes, we are definitely gonna do an office tour
Um, I'm personally impartial Luke is definitely a fan droid. No, I haven't used iOS. I've never had my phone
So, so we'll find out holy crap now that we've started doing Twitter blitz
277 people hit us
Do you see free stinks staying as it is or getting better? Oh, it'll definitely get better
It will absolutely get better free sync the technology supports something like 9 Hertz up to 250 Hertz or something stupid like that
So there's lots of room for it to continue to improve. It's just the panels need to catch up
Have you ever cross-threaded motherboard standoffs? Yep
How do you deal with it?
You take the whole board back out
You put pliers on either side you wrench them back apart and you can find a new standoff because you just wrecked it
Yeah, when is the next scrapyard Wars?
We are very likely to do a scrapyard Wars as soon as we can once I get back from Japan
Once we both get back from Japan. Yeah, it should actually be like awesome. We already planned a lot of it
Oh, yeah gonna be good stuff
You probably won't read this, but can you read my name?
I read your name, but I'm not gonna read it out loud because you like spanned us
Yeah, you tried um, what else we got I don't know what would you attempt if you knew you couldn't fail
Jumping out of the space station and landing on earth
What would I attempt if I knew jumping? Yeah jumping out of the Isis and landing on earth. No
colonizing Mars in into in entirety
Yourself. So basically how much sex would you be having tons? I
Would colonize my you know, I don't have a better answer than that. So I'm gonna let you win
You just won the entire show
Guys, thank you. So oh, oh I said I would unbox right
This is the new blade 14. Ah, yes, please. I won't be needing that one anymore. Oh
So this is the laptop I'll be taking with me as a portable workstation for my trip to Asia
I'll be getting on a plane in about eight hours. So I am out of here
I have a lot of people wondering what the heck I'm doing still here in Canada because we released a video
Where in the beginning I'm like well assuming all goes according to plan. I'll be in Asia right now
Yeah, okay. That happened that got pushed up on the schedule. So many people have been like well because you tweeted something about something
I don't remember what they're like you just tweeted this and I'm like, no I didn't they're like don't you have control of Linus's Twitter
Account while he's on vacation. I'm like first of all, no second of all, he's not
What?
Okay, that makes way more sense. Yeah, so that's how that went down
All right, so it comes packaged the same way as another blade 14 and the same way is like an Nvidia reference graphics card
It's got a green stripe
Now with 30% more stripe. Oh
It is basically just a very small upgrade now with 30% more Jen the razor blade 14
There's a laptop inside
Yeah
There is a laptop power adapter inside also a wire for it
What else we got in here some?
manuals
Yay manuals
All right, then there's the laptop it comes in this plastic
I hope there's a technical writer that writes manuals and I hope his name is a manual. I
I really hope that's a thing somewhere
So the blade 14 still looks just like the old blade 14. It's uh, I
Like the green USB ports. There's a couple things that are still like I I still I love this ID
Top-facing speakers. It's got three USB 3 ports, which is more than a lot of super slim laptops have the fact that the the
870 M or whatever whatever was in the last one didn't throttle was super nice
I don't know if that will continue to be true about the 970 M
I haven't tried this one yet
But the 970 M throttled like wicked hard in the in that gigabyte one that we just reviewed that's coming out soon, by the way
But I'm extremely excited to try it. There's still a couple things that aren't perfect. It needs an SD card reader and
Why?
HTMI
instead of mini DisplayPort
Like I literally can't think of a single compelling reason on the face of the earth. Okay. Okay. What would it be?
It's more common. If you if you're walking into a presentation place, they'll have pre-run cables. They'll never have DisplayPort
Yeah, but I could carry a mini DisplayPort to HDMI
And and you can passively cheaply adapt mini DisplayPort to anything
HDMI can okay. Okay. Well, let's let's talk about your boardroom. It's probably got a VGA projector
You're gonna adapt your you're gonna adapt your HDMI to VGA. Yeah didn't think so. I'm a web 2.0 company
That doesn't like this web 2.0 company
Yeah, cuz everyone who owns a blade is going to only do presentations at web 2.0. That is how the world works
Speaking of how the world works the blade probably isn't gonna do a presentation
I come in as a VGA projector all good things that come to an end
Wait, all good things all good things must come to thank you. Thanks for watching guys. I will see you on the other side
When I'm back from oh when I'm back from my vacation, holy crap. My head is wet. I'm not gonna take mine off
No, Linus Vercel said he wanted hats. Linus Vercel gets what he wants. Well, I could put my hat back
Where'd my hat go? Oh, my hat was missing too. Yeah, I didn't even realize. That's why he said the hats
There you go. Just for you Linus Vercel
Wow, thanks for watching everyone. We'll see you again. Well, I'll see you again in like three weeks, I guess
Three weeks, yep. Yep
Byeee
You know, the music's really loud like they can barely hear us right now bye wow
They hear that probably
You're the one who probably did it
Select.
Oh, it's just sitting there.
Hold on, we have the sponsors today.
This one, and the other one, also this one.
Actually, yes, after party for the people asking.
Okay, but that's on Luke's channel, not this one.
Yeah, bye.
Bye, peace. Bye.
Thanks to all 7,800 of you for tuning in.
That's incredible. Holy crap.
