I was looking at the wrong thing.
I was like, there's no frames encoded yet.
We couldn't be live yet.
No, but there are.
I was looking at viewers.
There are no viewers yet.
Well, also that thing is either broken or hella delayed.
Yeah, no, no.
I know that.
I just mean I was seeing that zero value because usually there's that little delay before the
frames start encoding and I'm like, if I say, welcome to the WAN show, then it's going to
come across to the WAN show like they're not going to hear the beginning of it, but instead
I waited too long and I made it awkward.
Why were we late this time?
Why were we late this time?
Well we were late this time.
Okay, not actually why we were late, but what did you do today?
Okay.
It's not actually why we're late.
For the last three hours, two and a half, about two and a half hours, I have been overhauling
the WAN show setup.
I have reinstalled the audio compressor that we haven't used since way a long time ago
at the week.
What we can just, no, no, it's, it's not, it's not quite tweaked yet, but it's, it's
a lot better.
So I have reinstalled the audio compressor.
I have switched to an XLR microphone.
We do not have a mount for this one yet.
So I have installed this, this absolute here.
I'll give you guys a look at it.
Yeah.
This absolutely gorgeous shock mount piece of foam.
What else did I do?
I, I'm sure I did other things.
We got a platform swap.
There was some good things done in terms of the audio setup.
I tried some different capture cards.
Mostly I was playing around with audio, so there you go.
Like the microphone's terrible.
I know for a fact it isn't.
And that's another thing I did today is I actually listened to the stream and tested
it.
So screw you guys.
Yep.
So get wrecked.
Get wrecked dogs.
I have a relatively small portion of you guys and the rest of you are great.
Yeah.
The rest of you are awesome, but it's just, thanks for watching.
It's the, all right, so we've got a great show for you guys today.
Yeah.
There is, it's official, a modular smartwatch.
Kind of.
Kind of.
There isn't one, but there might be one.
There could be one.
There could be one.
The PlayStation four has been revealed to be backwards compatible with PlayStation two
games, but there's more to the story than that.
AMD could be profitable into could, could, could, could, and also Samsung is making a
smart flip phone.
And finally, my fingernails could all fall off right now.
But they didn't, but they did, but they could have, but they could have.
That was a potential.
Oh, I put the intro back today.
All right.
So why don't we just kind of get the show?
Get the show started this week with a thing that's completely not on the schedule at all.
That sounds about it, right?
That's usually what we do.
That is usually what we do.
Okay.
Okay.
So I had a lot of people calling bullshit on this, uh, on this post that I made on Instagram,
where I put a, uh, I put a GTX.
There's a lot of people declaring this to be video card X, Y, or Z, when actually almost
no one got it right.
It is a GTX nine 80.
Okay.
So I put a GTX nine 80 on this setup and I declared it to be a cheap eight core gaming
setup.
So this video is actually coming out on, uh, I want to say Monday morning, Sunday night.
So midnight Pacific on Sunday.
It's pretty freaking sick and no, no lies.
There is no nonsense.
I am not pulling your guys' legs, eight Intel processing cores, 16 gigs of Ram and a motherboard.
We're talking under $150 us.
We're talking with a GTX nine 80 and yes, I understand that a GTX nine 80 is expensive.
It's not the point.
The point of putting the nine 80 in there was demonstrating that this gaming platform
is not a substantial bottleneck even for a high end graphics card.
Okay.
So we're talking like now, Oh no, no.
That was the comparison mode.
We're talking about 75 FPS in battlefront.
Okay.
Star Wars battlefront 75 FPS.
What settings?
Butter smooth ultimate boom or ultra or whatever, whatever the top one is the highest tier preset.
10 ADP, 75 FPS.
Yeah, that's right.
So stay tuned for that.
That's going to be freaking awesome.
I'm just trying to think if there's any other internal like LMG stuff we've had going on
this week.
It's been kind of a crazy week, but I don't know why we can't show those last week.
We can't talk about that, but those last week, this week, I did a lot of prepping, prepping.
Yeah.
We prepared this week.
We prepared actually.
I've been getting a lot of help did that thing, but it can't, Oh yeah.
More security stuff.
So sort of, uh, we, we actually added a new member.
Um, yep.
So we, we have like, uh, like a, a new sort of, sort of like maintenance maintenance guy.
Um, but I'm going to wait till after his probation period in order to, you know, procedure, whatever
standard operating procedure, introduce them.
Oh yeah.
We added another new member that happened this week.
So it's official.
My wife will be joining us here at Linus media group, uh, starting in the new year.
To be fair, she has basically already done enough work to be an employee and like kind
of really is already, she's just going to like physically be in the office now, which
is way better.
And she won't have to do her other job anymore.
Yes.
Which is also way better.
Yeah.
So, and you know, it's, it's really funny.
One of the things that she stressed out about was that the, okay, first, I mean, she's sometimes
emotions, you know, take precedent over rational thought.
She doesn't watch.
She is, but like she's, yeah, she's still, she still has two X chromosomes.
Okay.
So I'm just saying to the HR McMillan space center on my birthday and met many incredibly
intelligent.
That's nothing to do with intelligence.
My wife is incredibly rational and she's very rational, but that doesn't mean that sometimes
she doesn't.
Well, okay.
Anyway, the point is her first concern was that LMG employees would feel like I was only
hiring her because nepotism and she's my wife.
Okay.
And I was like, my dear, I love you dearly, but that is the single most ridiculous thing
you've ever said to me.
So stop.
I think that might, like, she got like the second dopest office in the whole thing.
There's like probably part of it has to do with that.
At least a small degree.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like the reason why she's coming.
No.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
Or like, even if, even if part of it is that she earned her way through other things.
She even needs the privacy in the office because she's the only one of us that actually does
like accounting and stuff.
Yeah.
So some of the things that I do should probably not be done.
That's true too.
Okay.
But, but yeah.
But anyway, so next, so the next thing was everyone's like Linus is so sexist.
It's like, okay, okay, okay.
I'm not going to get, I'm not going to get too deep into this because quite frankly,
who could handle that?
Well, apparently.
Oh, okay.
Anyway, I'm not going to get, I'm not going to get too deep into this.
But men and women are different.
They're not the same.
They're different.
And that's okay.
All right.
So anyway, the next thing she was worried about was that the viewers would think that
the only reason she was involved was because she was like the boss's wife.
And I was like, no, I'm going to clear that up.
I'm going to make sure they know.
So I'm addressing it on WAN Show once and for all.
Yvonne has been an integral part of Linus Media Group since before its incorporation
date.
She started the company from like day negative, you know, like 90 when I was working on this
for like months before we actually kicked off.
And she has been deeply involved, not just in like, you know, creating people's paychecks
and depositing things in the bank and all those things that she does to help everything
run smoothly here.
Core decisions on direction and stuff like that.
But she has also been deeply involved in many core decisions involving HR, involving our
hiring, involving our content, involving our overall strategy, involving the way that we
address things publicly, like our PR.
So she's very much a part of what we do.
And she's approved.
And like if people are worried about content control and stuff, she's approved stuff that
was like, we were pretty unsure about it.
Yeah.
And she was like, yeah, I mean, you can probably do it.
We ran How to Hide Your Porn Pastor.
We had like a little mini conference call thing.
Yep.
And she was like, it's sketchy.
But yeah.
And we're like, OK.
All right.
Well, I think I think I have.
That's great.
Yvonne of the Yukon.
She hates that reference.
So what I would recommend is whenever she shows up in a channel, super fun or whatever
else, because she thinks she's not going to be in videos.
But I straight up told her that's not going to happen or is going to happen.
Whatever the part where she is going to be in videos is that that that will happen.
So make sure you leave some comments about Yvonne of the Yukon under the video.
She'll love that.
Well, mostly I'll love teasing her about that.
And then, you know, it'll be good.
It'll be good.
Yeah.
Got people asking if she'll be hosting anything.
No, I don't think so.
Not really her shtick.
I mean, she's she's actually I expect she'd probably be on channel super fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'd expect her to show up on super fun.
Like, well, we'll definitely pull some kind of actually we have to haze her when she first
starts.
Like, we have to pull some kind of like initiation prank on her.
What?
In like her first week.
Oh, like, super fun stuff.
Yeah.
OK.
I was like, what are you talking about?
No, no, no.
We should get tied to a pole for a day because we're a frat party.
No.
That's why I'm like, what are you talking about?
Not at work.
That's not even what I meant.
This time.
That's not what I meant.
Anyways.
Yeah.
No, that sounds good.
We have to think of something cool, though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We'll have to come up with something cool.
Like, like there's the classics.
There's like putting the noisemaker above the ceiling tile in the office or whatever.
But but I want to come up.
I want to come up with something a little bit a little bit better than that.
I think we can.
I think we can do that.
All right.
So I think that's pretty much it for like the Linus Media Group catch up.
So why don't we jump right into NVIDIA unveiling their Pascal architecture somewhat.
So kind of somewhat somewhat sort of.
So at the Japanese edition of NVIDIA GTC, the GPU Technology Conference, they've unveiled
some details about their 2016 graphics architecture code name Pascal.
Oh, the name of the stream is the after party.
I'm sorry.
Oh, really?
I think so.
Oh, derp.
That's what it shows online.
Oh, well, that's not right.
The WAN show tech and gaming talk Fridays at 1630 Pacific ish.
There we go.
All right.
We fixed that.
OK, so basically there's I mean, there's not a whole lot here that we didn't kind of see
coming up to 16 gigabytes of HBM memory is what it's going to be launching with.
But it can support up to 32.
Yes.
So we're talking one terabyte per second in bandwidth, although.
And this will be HBM too, by the way.
So NVIDIA apparently just kind of went, yep, we're going to sit out this first generation.
We're going to wait until there's a die shrink.
And then we are going to pack as many more transistors as we can into our GPU.
And we're going to go HBM at the same time and deliver hopefully something really, really
groundbreaking.
Which the GPU market kind of needs, to be completely honest, because with VR around
the corner, they're going to be really far behind.
And it has been we have been stuck at the same manufacturing process node for so long.
It's a problem actually right now.
It's been awful.
Like, they have had to do so many crazy tricks.
Both NVIDIA and AMD have been like tricking all over the, or OK, that came across wrong
that, well, clever chip design, why don't we call it that.
But they have also revealed that Pascal will be available in multi-GPU packaging, NVLink
is going to enable up to 80 gigabyte per second communication.
They're going to have higher performance through the use of these, oh man, why am I having
trouble talking today?
There's HBM too, which will help you from performance.
There's also a manufacturing node shrink that he's talking about.
The 15 nanometer FinFET process, which is still going to be done by TSMC.
Yeah.
Yeah, and we're expecting it sometime in the first half of 2016, so stay tuned.
I wonder what they're going to call the new Titan, because X and Z are the only really
cool letters.
Titan Y?
No.
Titan, Titan Y, Titan, why are you so expensive?
What if it's like Titan H?
But the H looks like a very structurally sound, like, I don't know.
It looks like an I-beam?
Yeah.
Why don't they just call it the Titan triangle, then?
Is this the third?
It's the strongest shape!
Because Titan, Titan Black, and...
Well, the Titan Z was the dual GPU one.
Oh, Z, damn.
I was going to say, because if this was the third one, they could do Titan III, and then
that would fit with the 3D transistors.
But it's not.
So, I don't know.
Alright, so this is kind of cool.
Our original article here is from Ars Technica.
Here we go.
For a few truly bad DMCA takedowns, YouTube is offering to cover legal costs to protect
some video makers who lean on fair use.
So one of the examples of fair use would be things like reviews, where you'll be using
clips of Hollywood movies or AAA games, things that would normally be, well, I guess games
to a lesser extent, but would normally be very protected.
No one authorized reproduction of the blah, blah, blah, et cetera, fines and jail time,
et cetera.
But for the sake of critique, this is how channels that do movie reviews, for example,
are able to show what they're actually talking about in the video, the point of the video.
And that's what helps them get around the copyright law.
The point of the video is not the movie.
The point of the video is their own content that's illustrated by them pointing at what
they're talking about in the movie.
So with that said, there have been some issues with, here, there were a couple of examples.
Total Biscuit, I believe, was one of them.
Unfortunately, that didn't make it into the notes.
Really?
Okay, well, unfortunately, there have been a couple situations where folks that feel
like they really should be protected by fair use are not being, and YouTube is offering
up to a million dollars to protect them.
So that's pretty interesting, and it actually comes on the heels, for me, this news, of
a really unfortunate situation that we ran into this week, where we used a classical
piece of music from the YouTube Music Library that was composed over 50...
So the original composer died over 50 years ago, making it public domain, making the actual
sheet music itself, the composition public domain in the US and Canada, but...
And then the recorder, who went ahead and played the music and then made their recording
of it free for commercial use and all that stuff, and allowed it to be in the YouTube
Music Library, said, yep, everything's cool with me, but international copyright law,
it turns out, is a bit of a bear, and in Germany, you have to wait until 70 years after the
artist passes.
So it hasn't been 70 years yet, so we actually got a letter about a video that we uploaded
ages ago that's got a million views now.
We got a letter saying that we owe 4,500 euros as a retroactive worldwide license for
this song, because they are the rights holder of the sheet music, even though in our territory,
it is not protected.
Now, this is one of those situations where I really don't think there's gonna be a whole
lot that's gonna come of it, because this music has been used an awful lot over a span
of a year, and the fact that they're just sitting on it now, waiting for an opportunity
to go after people, I really don't think they're gonna be able to target the potentially tens
of thousands of YouTube creators who have used that particular composition and extract
4,500 euros from all of them, and there was already a post on Reddit where someone went
through the same thing, whose lawyer advised them not to pay, and eventually the whole
thing went away, but it really does bring up an excellent point about whose responsibility
is what in this whole online content creation thing, because if YouTube's providing the
music library, which technically they do have a disclaimer on saying, you know, we're not
responsible for whatever, but that opens up, like let's say in all of our 3,000 videos
we had used this song, we could potentially owe, you know, whatever that works out to,
so 4,500 euros times 3,000, sorry, I'm not that great at this.
This is gonna be really brutal.
So we could owe 13 and a half million euros potentially, which, I don't know how much
you guys know about how much YouTube channels make, but that sure as heck ain't it.
There's a lot of misconceptions there.
A lot of people think we make way more than we do.
Right, okay, well, no.
In the entire time that Linus Media Group has ever existed, and for the foreseeable
future 13 and a half million euros will be out of reach.
Way more.
So, yeah, I mean, I'm not, I guess I'm just not really, I'm not really sure where I'm
going with this, other than to say that I'm glad that at least in these cases, the first
four, oh, here we go, the first four videos in the program.
I was trying to read that.
That was a really confusing little bit, and I don't get it.
So here's one, sorry, did I say, oh, you know what, I actually don't know if Total Biscuit
was one of them.
I know Jim Sterling was, though.
So here's one of them.
This video is not available in your country due to a copyright claim, et cetera, et cetera,
et cetera.
So, oh, this is a playlist of the four.
So there's actually, there's a few here.
Okay, so let's go back.
There we go.
No, sorry, one of the, Jim Sterling, sorry, sorry, sorry, I totally screwed up.
I thought it was, I thought it was Total Biscuit, but I think what I did was I read this article
and then I watched, I watched a Total Biscuit thing about copyright or something along those
lines of fair use or whatever else.
Because he has, he just does such a great job of explaining some of these more complicated
things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So they can, basically they're saying they can't offer legal protection for every creator,
but they will resist legally unsupported DMCA takedowns.
Because in the past it's been as simple as like, um, yeah, that's mine.
So you know, no, and it, and it goes down right away without them actually having to
provide any proof other than just signing a thing that says, yep, I'm the right soldier.
I mean, I've gone through the process a lot of times and I haven't issued any by mistake.
Like all of mine are actually content that I own and was, and were re-uploaded without
my approval.
Except by one that accidentally...
Well, we can tell that story after, that's a pretty funny story.
But it's so easy.
All I have to do is go, this is my digital signature, yep, you know, I'm a representative
of this, blah, blah, blah, and boom, it goes down usually within a couple hours, just like
that.
And unfortunately, sometimes the system can work too well.
We got a copyright strike this week.
Actually, there's a lot of stuff that's happened this week.
It's been kind of a crazy week.
We got a copyright strike, which I have never had before, and it basically disabled a ton
of my YouTube creator profile until I went to copyright school, which I failed by the
way.
Well, I tried to challenge the test and I got one thing wrong.
But what's funny about it is that it gave me access to my control panel anyway.
So I really don't know what the point of copyright school was in that case.
Anyways, so when we dug further into it, so we got a copyright strike because a successful
DMCA takedown had been issued for some of our content, and I was like, what?
And it was like, what was it?
It was one of the Silverstone headphone stand design contest videos.
And I was like, I don't even think there was any music in there.
What is this even about?
And so finally, because my account is so limited and because the video has been pulled down,
it's hard to find any information about it, but I finally got to the right page and the
claimant was Linus Media Group.
So when I dug into it, the contact email was for Colton.
So I was like, okay.
That guy whose bio on the site says that he's just not as good as Nick.
Not as good as Nick.
Not as good as Nick Lite.
So apparently he's not as good as Nick at filing takedowns because he managed to do
a takedown on our own damn video, which, okay.
And this was after I had sent a super irate email to YouTube being like, hey, yo, I need
my account back right away.
We've got uploads to do and stuff.
And they're just like, um, it was issued by you.
Have you tried retracting the takedown?
No, I will look into that.
Colton!
Okay.
So he's, he's, he's changed his little blurb now, so that's a little bit better, but we
might need to add to that.
Also tries to attack own company.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Protects, protects the intellectual property of Linus Media Group to an unprecedented degree.
Oh my goodness.
Oh man.
Oh, oh, Colton's, Colton's text.
Colton's texting.
Colton's texting.
Yeah.
Colton's texting.
He sent me hashtag rec.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's okay, Colton.
We love you.
We love you dearly.
Although I don't know why you're watching Wan show instead of doing actual work.
Yeah.
Go back to work.
Yeah.
Get back to work.
We don't have to yell.
He's watching the show.
But he shouldn't be.
Right.
But he is.
So we don't have to yell.
That's fair.
Back to work.
Okay.
So this is, I always, oh, I love these articles so much.
So this is from barons.com.
Ah, yes.
Yes.
Get the full story.
Yeah.
I think I can live without the full story.
AMD could be profitable in 24 months.
This is according to JP Morgan.
The chip firm needs to drive share gains and remain disciplined on expenses to reach operating
profitability.
And they should probably send samples on time.
Oh my.
Yeah.
Now, you know what's really funny is normally when we're laid on a review for like a key
launch product, Intel CPU, AMD, Nvidia GPU, I was going to say AMD CPU, but that hasn't
happened in the entire time Linus Media Group has existed.
Usually there's going to be a couple of different camps, right?
There's the camp that's just like, hey, I want to watch the video.
And then there's the camp that's like, hey, you're so biased, you didn't cover this.
For the 380X, crickets.
I didn't get a single message asking why we didn't review the 380X.
Literally no one cared.
It seems like a really good value card.
Yeah, it seems all right.
But you know what else was interesting?
A non-tech doesn't have a review up.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Don't they have AMD zone or whatever?
Do they still have the AMD zone on nontech.com?
I don't see it.
Is it gone?
Yeah, it's gone.
It's gone.
The AMD zone is gone.
All right then.
Yeah.
Wow.
ZOTAC.
That must have cost a fortune.
I was just going to say that ZOTAC ad.
Literally a takeover.
It has an entire takeover.
They've got the top banner spot, left, right banner.
So they've got the background here.
And then they've also got the tower banner above the fold here.
And then poor Corsair.
And the?
Yep.
More down here.
No, no, no.
There's the...
Wow.
There's so many ads.
Oh my God.
I wonder if anyone has ever seen this banner before we did it just now.
Maybe not.
Possibly not.
But yeah.
So I haven't actually talked to Ryan over there, but my assumption is they probably
ran into the same thing we did.
And it's funny because this really never used to happen to us that often, but it's happened
twice in the last little while.
Our 6700K Skylake chip ended up in Peru twice before coming to us two weeks late.
And our 380X arrived a couple of hours before Wancho started today.
So we actually were probably the most on the ball that we have...
This was the most prepared we've been for any GPU video ever.
Ever been.
Okay?
All other cards were already tested using the latest driver.
All of them from the NVIDIA stack, all of them from AMD stack.
The bench, which we have actually moved to a tower case now so we can do better thermal
evaluations and better...
Especially now that cards are gonna boost differently depending on whether they're in
a case or not.
Yeah.
Really important.
Really important.
So we were like, yeah, we're on this.
We're ready.
We're just gonna throw that card in there.
We're gonna run six benchmarks and it's gonna be ready to freaking rock.
And so we have emails.
Our email chain with AMD is hilarious because it's like, yeah, your card's shipped.
Yeah, your card should be there by now.
Do you have a tracking number?
Let me look into that and get back to you.
I'm like, yo, do you have a tracking number?
Oh yeah, your card didn't ship.
Like, okay, so what made you think our card shipped?
Oh, we're gonna get one from someone else.
It's here now.
It's here now.
So we're gonna hit that early next week.
Live unboxing?
And get that going.
Sure.
Live unboxing in the dog's age.
Oh, do you wanna grab, do you wanna grab, here, okay, guys, hang on, go, go, go, go.
I'll get the other thing.
We'll be right back after these messages.
I don't know where he is.
Let's do this.
Why is there, like, no one watching?
Did we do something wrong?
Did we?
There's 4,800.
Really?
No, 6,800 according to this, but then that's usually not right.
6,800.
Yeah, yeah, no, no.
No, we've got it.
We've got actually a great live audience today in spite of the fact that we've gotten almost
nothing done.
Okay, no, no, hold on, hold on.
I went and got a webcam.
Oh, yeah.
Old school.
It's funny because that is old school because we've totally done that, we've definitely
pretended.
We've even, like, we've even done, like, takes in a video where I'll, like, cut the one side
and then we'd, like, we'd open it and we'd turn it around so we can break the seal on
camera again.
Okay, hold on, hold on.
I gotta get the, um, I gotta get the resolution right here.
Hold on, hold on.
I can't turn it around, unfortunately.
Okay, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna go for 720p here.
Oh, look at that view of my ugly sweater.
Yeah, you guys wanna look at that?
I feel like we're watching a very different type of content right now.
Yeah.
Okay, all right, all right.
We're gonna break the seal for definitely the first time ever.
Wow, that, that cuts so easily.
Oh.
Oh.
It switched over.
Dang, dang, got it.
Um.
Audio.
Yeah, uh.
Nope, just, oh, camera switched.
Uh, here.
Okay.
Theoretically, that's fixed.
Should we wait?
Um, no, let's just, let's just go for it.
Let's just go for it.
Good.
Breaking the seal for the first time for the third time.
Woo.
Aw, yeah.
Okay.
So we've got some pretty standard packaging here.
Oh.
Oh.
Hold on.
Does that still suck?
Uh, apparently not fixed.
Oh, okay, well, um, man.
I was so determined to, uh, there.
How about now?
It shouldn't matter.
You should just change the master source, right?
The master source?
Yeah, like.
Oh.
Hold on.
Like tools.
Audio.
Yeah.
Default microphone.
Oh.
There we go.
Okay, we should be good.
That should work.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, cutting the seal for the first time for the fourth time.
Yes.
Shrink.
Wow.
Wow, it's not focusing either.
So wonderful.
Oh, god.
Is it on manual focus?
No, I don't think so.
Okay.
Oh, there we go.
Ooh, so we've got some pretty standard brown packaging, which I think is.
Oh, look at that brown package.
I think that's Sapphire's kind of thing.
They do that.
We do have foam, which is good.
Alright, protective foam for shipping.
Look at the bumps.
Ooh.
It's like 100 nipples.
There's a CD, which you should throw away.
Whoa!
Whoa!
There's some packaging stuff, which you probably don't care about.
Whatever.
You're making such a mess right now.
And then there's the graphics card.
I'll deal with it in a moment.
I was doing Casey Neistat on this.
You're making a mess and you're terrible.
Okay, so it's tall.
It's really tall.
Oh, that's interesting.
I don't know if that's standard.
That's the Luke edition.
I don't know if it's supposed to be that tall.
It also has a back plate.
It's tall and it has two fans.
Your mom and your dad.
Get rekt.
You're a dick.
It says on the box with a sticker that it has a back plate included.
So I don't necessarily think that's a standard thing.
I don't really think all 280Xs come with a back plate.
I'm also wondering if this is aftermarket so much that it has an extra thing.
Yeah, it seems like it.
Yeah, that's definitely a non-reference.
Although I don't even know if they have a reference PCB for this card.
I have no idea.
Two 6-pins for power.
No fingers, obviously, because it goes through the board now.
There's a switch, so I'm assuming there's dual BIOS on this board.
Ooh, a dual BIOS switch.
That's pretty nice.
Got two giant fans.
Oh, don't talk about your parents that way.
No, I mean giant as in effort.
They're trying really hard.
Looks like there's four heat pipes with a copper base plate.
Ooh, maybe a vapor chamber?
Maybe.
No, I don't know.
I don't think so.
Hard to say.
They definitely would have said.
Yeah.
10-centimeter fans, dual X cooling, back plate.
Watching someone read off the box really does remind me of the old unboxings.
That's how we did it, man.
So great.
I like that it's not a super complicated, like this would be super easy to take off,
which is kind of cool.
The cooler's pretty thick, but again, I don't think they're all going to come like this.
How heavy is it?
Uh, surprisingly heavy, but not by a ton.
Like it's not a brick.
It's got some quality heft to it.
This is the Nitro.
The Nitro.
So I'm assuming it is a...
It's Nitro charged for gamers.
Yeah.
As opposed to being Nitro charged for web surfing.
My fans.
Yeah.
All right, well there you go.
Wait, wait, wait.
I.O.
We have dual DVI, HDMI, and display port.
I'm not going to pull the things out because I want to keep it nice.
And then, yeah, I think that's it.
Okay.
Well, thank you.
Thank you for that live unboxing, which is totally, totally authentically opening it
for the first time.
Yeah.
Only the fourth time.
Yeah.
Only the fourth time.
Okay.
This is technically signed out under you, so I'm giving that back to you to...
Okay.
Yeah.
It's officially not my responsibility anymore.
Wow.
And let's go ahead and move into...
Oh, right.
Did we ever actually finish that AMD could be profitable in two years' topic?
Well...
Okay.
Oh, so here...
Okay.
Well, I guess we'll do it.
So success depends on the company's execution, according to the article.
Which is why we got to the whole idea of us not getting the card on time.
Right.
Success also depends on their time to market and product performance slash power efficiency.
So everything ever...
Who pays these people to be analysts?
Can we be these guys?
I want to be the analyst.
We could do that.
AMD planning stronger professional graphics push in 2016.
Really?
Okay.
And just like has been what they've been doing for the last sort of while here.
That's their company.
Expanding into medicine, factory automation, and security.
That's interesting.
Which is just another way of saying...
They would like to get...
GPU processing.
...giant contracts.
Yeah.
Because everyone would.
Zen processor speculation...
Okay.
Got it.
Thank you.
This is not an inventory.
I'm going to run it back.
Oh, sure.
Thanks, Luke.
I'm going to run it back.
You know what I should probably do then is why don't I jet through our sponsor stuff
here for today.
So our first sponsor is one that we actually haven't...
I feel like we haven't talked about Dollar Shave Club in a long time.
Well, today's first sponsor is Dollar Shave Club, the service that lets you sign up to
get a new razor every month.
Well, not just a new razor.
You actually get a set of new razor blades so that you can have a nice fresh shave every
day.
Yes, every day.
And you don't have to be like...
With a knife.
Which would be bad.
Which would be terrible.
Yeah.
Who would shave with a knife?
People without...
I don't know.
Without Dollar Shave Club subscriptions.
Yeah.
All right.
So basically they've got anywhere from a couple bucks a month all the way up to their executive,
which is actually still very affordable.
I think it's like $9 a month or something?
Anyway, I don't remember exactly what the pricing is.
It's available in Canada, the US, Australia, and Australia, I think is that it?
Wow.
I am just...
What's wrong?
I am not feeling it today.
What are you doing?
But the point is they've got high quality razors and other bathroom supplies.
They deliver them directly to your door for a few bucks a month.
And all you gotta do is go to dollarshaveclub.com slash Linus and join the club.
Dollar Shave Club.
It's a good thing that gives you quality stuff and lets you be lazy, which I'm super down
with.
Yes.
You don't have to leave the house to look like you leave the house, which is pretty
good.
I mean, sometimes people come over.
I don't really leave the house much.
I know.
You just come here and go home.
Yeah.
I know this to be true.
But I don't necessarily look like that.
Search your feelings.
Search your feelings.
Open your eyes.
Did you see that sick picture that Brandon posted on Twitter of the behind the scenes
of that, of the Luca and your father scene?
Like all the lighting and crap.
You know what was the coolest thing about it?
No green screen.
Wasn't there beds or something?
Oh, I'm not sure.
I didn't.
Okay.
I think I've seen a shot of that from a long time ago.
I don't know if it's the one that Brandon posted.
So freaking cool though.
Like it was like really far back.
Like you could see all the lights and crap that they had set up.
It was really cool.
That's cool.
I'm like, you could see all the people standing watching like.
I have felt really weird at times doing boof coverage, particularly for Asus.
You know what's weird?
Okay.
I'm way more comfortable if there's a large group compared to like one or two people.
Really?
If there's one or two people that I know are intently watching, then I'm like, and I get
kind of weird about it.
If there's like a relatively large group of them, then I'm like, okay, whatever.
I don't know why.
Okay.
But what I'll say about boof coverage at Asus is whenever I'm there, like Asus goes all
out at CES.
Like they have, remember.
Oh, cause their whole team floats and follows you.
Okay.
That, that is weird.
Okay.
That is weird.
Asus is a huge company.
And so they're going to have like product management teams for every category of products
that they make.
So we're talking optical drives, laptops, bigger laptops, smaller laptops, tablets that
turn into laptops, tablets that don't turn into laptops, smartphones.
That turn into tablets, smartphones that turn into laptops.
It's endless routers that turn into laptops.
They transform.
And so whenever I'm doing booth coverage at Asus, there's like the North American PR team
that's kind of following me around.
There's the product manager, North American product management team.
There's the Taiwan product management team.
There's the Taiwan marketing people.
There's the like the salespeople who are just like, Oh, what's this crowd of people following
around this guy who's making videos in the booth?
And it gets to the point where there have been times there was one that really stood
out to me.
It was for like an all in one or something.
It was for an all in one that turned into an Android tablet.
There was literally about 10 to 15, maybe was it more?
It was basically everyone there.
It was a lot.
It was like somewhere between 10 and 15 people watching me do my like, like live to tape
style recording video.
And at the end of it, they all applauded.
Yeah.
It was one of the weirdest experiences that I think that I've ever had making a video.
It was pretty weird.
And I make videos with Nick Van Berkel, who apparently needs to talk to me.
Can I help you?
Hey, I just wanted to tell you guys that these are illegal in New York streets now.
Really?
Whoa.
For that reason.
Please don't break your neck at the office.
Sorry, New Yorkers.
You can't be scooting around no more.
Really those like our Z boards and stuff.
So okay.
Really specifically hoverboards.
Interesting.
All right.
Well, wait, I'm in the streets.
Like indoors.
I'm assuming there's nothing they can do.
Huh?
Yeah.
So in much the same way that it's sidewalks, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So kind of like no skateboarding on the sidewalk, no more hoverboarding or self balancing a
scooter or like whatever the generic terms are for them.
That's really interesting.
So I guess our, our jousting match, uh, would not be allowed in New York, but that was,
that's what I'm asking.
That was on a park.
Oh, but that was in a park.
Okay.
Okay.
So as long as you've been allowed in the street or on the sidewalk, as long as we don't
joust on the sidewalk, which I don't think you would have wanted to do anyway.
Yeah.
Thank you for contributing a topic to the land show for once in your life.
Thanks.
Berkel on the subject of, of swag way jousting actually.
It's not very often these days that we kind of, that we, are you going to leak this?
No, no, don't worry.
It's okay.
Um, check this out.
My friends, if you do not already have a vessel subscription or at least a free trial vessel
actually put together, uh, like a trailer for our most recent channel, super fun.
You guys are going to want to watch this.
Yes my friends, swag way jousting in medieval armor.
Check it out.
That's a pretty legit trailer.
It is.
It is kind of worth it.
Yeah.
I wish they would've used the last hit, but it's okay.
It's okay because they saved the last hit.
Ah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Saved the best part for last.
No one punched.
So they, uh, yeah, they, they, they.
Yeah.
No, I know.
I know.
Uh, so they, the sound is great by the way.
Burkle spent so long editing this video.
It's gotta be the greatest channel super fun we've ever made though.
Yeah.
Uh, it's absolutely sick.
Everyone's all like, I hate vessel well, you know what vessel has made a big difference
for us this year.
Actually pretty awesome.
And is a big part of the reason that we can have a person dedicated to channel super fun.
I'll let that sink in for a minute.
We have an employee dedicated to channel super fun that has done like a few thousand dollars
in total sponsorship money ever.
And you can, you can look it up on social blade.
Doesn't make a ton on AdSense.
So you guys do the math.
These things help us develop new and better content streams.
Well, we wouldn't have, if you guys have, I think we talked about this a little bit
on the last one show.
I don't know though.
We've shifted to a lot of like crazy cool projects.
Like the thing you leaked at the beginning of the land with the eight cores and all that
kind of stuff.
My follow builds the two, uh, one computer, two gamers, like all these crazy build things
that we're doing.
We have more employees and extra time and better space and all this kind of stuff to
do that largely, honestly, because of vessel.
So we're kind of frozen.
Yep.
There's a, there's a lot of, there's, there's, there's a lot of contributing factors, tons,
but I just, I don't want people to kind of go, Oh, vessels crap.
It's terrible.
It, it, it, it is very helpful if you look at it from the other side of the fence.
The creator side.
They're awesome.
Yeah.
Uh, people are like, why not Vimeo?
Why Vimeo?
Oh God.
Uh, okay.
So actually we should probably do our other speaking of things that help us help us keep
things going around here.
Tunnel bear is one of today's episode sponsors.
The easy to use VPN app for mobile and desktop.
It lets you tunnel in through up to 16 different countries, allowing you to browse the internet
and use online services as though you are in that country.
Tunnel to 16 different countries.
Thank you.
Uh, they have apps for iOS, Android, PC, and Mac, and they also have a Chrome extension.
So your bases are pretty much covered.
You just pick your country in the app, turn tunnel bear on and watch as your bear tunnels.
I'm never going to get, I'm never going to get tired of that.
Bears don't tunnel.
I love you guys.
Tunnel bear.
You're cool.
You got a great VPN service.
Okay.
It's free for the first 500 megs, which is super awesome.
A month.
They're not like moles, but bears do not tunnel.
They may be climb trees.
Okay.
They do that.
If they want something that's not really heavy ones.
Yeah.
If they want something, I mean, with that said, bears are kind of BA.
So like if they needed something that was underground, could they tunnel probably, probably,
I'm sure they can dig, but their instincts do not drive them to tunnel.
Okay.
Um, and I find most large things, their instincts do not drive them to tunnel and they're, um,
I can't think of any large animal that tunnels.
Do elephants tunnel?
No, I knew that.
Okay.
Well, I thought maybe the tusks.
But does that count?
Cause okay.
We have to define tunneling.
No, no.
I meant like they could move them like this and they could pour a hole in front of their
face.
No, I'm just kidding.
Um, so any, anyway, your connection gets encrypted with AEX 256 bit encryption.
And if you want to upgrade to unlimited data, you guys can head over tunnel to bear.com
slash LTT.
If the first 500 megs is enough to wet your appetite, but not enough for all of your browsing
needs.
Someone said polar bears tunnel in the snow.
Is that tunneling?
It's more like burrowing.
Yeah.
That's what I mean.
Like what is tunneling?
Cause I think means you're like traveling under the ground.
Yeah.
I'm not sure though.
I haven't.
All right.
And Nick has given me an updated copy for fresh books.
Fresh books is the easy to use invoicing software that helps small businesses look professional
and get paid faster.
And it does do that.
You can try fresh books completely free for 30 days at freshbooks.com slash a wan and
make sure you type wan in the, how did you hear about us section?
Oh, I don't know if we had that in the anyway.
So the point is if you're like a, a, a small computer repair technician or a house painter
or we got to come up with other examples.
There's like a billion tiny businesses, twitch chat.
Help me.
If you want to run like an, an arts instructional thing at your house and you want to have people
come over and stuff.
Or like a small dance studio or small dance studio.
If you want to, uh, lessons of any kind, private massage, uh, yeah.
I mean you technically could use fresh books if you were doing that kind of massages, but
my mom used to run a thing where she would massage old people at old folks' homes.
Okay.
Yeah.
She could run fresh books for invoicing for that.
Yeah.
There you go.
Everyone's, everyone's talking about cam girls, the entire twitch chat cam girls.
Most of those have pre done services that they go through.
Yeah.
Okay.
But gardening, gardening.
There we go.
Gardening is a good one.
We does not a good example unless it's legal.
In which case, and then that's, it's probably still a very good example.
Why not?
No, because don't you have to know that would work pretty well because you just have to
get the most places that I know there's like crazy government oversight, but then once
you're set up you could use fresh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So anyway, there you go guys, uh, freshbooks.com slash when for your small business to get
paid on time, track your expenses, track your hours, and basically just make your life easier
so you can spend your time running your business or enjoying the product you sell, whatever
you're into instead of dinking around in complicated accounting software.
Someone keeps on spamming about my car, uh, because I posted the video on, oh yes, my
car's fine.
Okay.
That was from two years ago.
Why don't we, let's do, let's do the, let's show the video so that they have some appropriate
context.
I actually, have you listened to it with audio?
Mm hmm.
Cause it, okay.
Yeah.
Cause it's actually hilarious.
Oh, cause I should, uh, I should actually, um, stay on this page in that case.
I should do it here so that they can hear.
Okay.
Yeah.
Uh, is it, there's no space, right?
No, it's, that's the, oh wow.
Oh wow.
Can I leak this?
Um, this is hilarious.
Okay.
I'm, I'm, I guess I, I guess I'm doing it so I accidentally went to the wrong, uh, the
wrong Luke L A F R here on Twitter and it turns out that it is indeed the correct Luke
L A F R.
But look how young he is in that picture.
He's like a baby.
Look at that.
He's got a baby face as it is, especially when he shaves.
But this is some, that is some next level baby face you got going on there.
Wow.
I love Dropbox because yay.
You got some free data.
I was in school and I needed more.
Any chance of a fan meetup day nine?
I'm your biggest fan.
He did do a fan meetup and it was great.
Okay.
It was awesome.
Five tweets.
Where are your other tweets?
Tweets and replies.
Tweets and replies.
Okay.
Oh wow.
You're correct.
What a deck.
What a deck.
What else we got?
I do work.
Literally I'm at 60 tests per mode now.
I was talking about working for you actually.
I noticed you have a WordPress site now.
I'm looking for, if you're looking for free help, I got you man.
Playing any games?
Who's poor habit?
They're a band.
That was a dude I used to play with in wow when I used to be like really competitive.
That's great.
That is so funny.
I don't even know if poor habit is still around.
I really doubt very many people in the audience would be interested.
It's like super grungy punk music.
Okay.
So hold on.
Here.
Here.
Here.
Oh wait.
Hold on.
Sorry.
I screwed up.
Okay.
Okay.
Hold on.
I have to pause this for a second.
Okay.
Twitch chat.
Twitch chat.
Y'all got to hear me out for a second here.
Okay.
This video has 1200 likes and zero dislikes.
I know.
Let's keep it going.
Okay.
I need all of you to get over there.
Get over there.
Can you post post a link in Twitch chat?
I wasn't actually going to show it.
Get over there and get a like on that video.
Let's try and do something unprecedented.
Okay.
A video with zero dislikes.
Okay.
So back to the video.
It gets better.
It gets better.
What he claims is awesome and never breaks down Pontiac Sunbird.
Sir, that is what you get for owning a Pontiac and attempting to...
Someone already wrecked it.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Dicks.
Like immediately.
So that's why I get to enjoy this video.
I'll see you next time.
Bye.
Bye.
You still have that bike, right?
Yeah.
Do you know how many people you've inconvenienced this morning by having a crappy car?
At least I've made it pleasurable by putting them where to go.
Cal Tire doesn't think much of that.
He dares.
The Cal Tire thing is like an omen now because that's where we got Nick Van Berkel from.
Yeah.
Oh wow.
Cal Tire.
Yeah.
So Cal Tire owed us one for honking at us rudely.
240 dislikes.
What the shit?
Way to go guys.
Oh my God.
Look at the bar.
Wow.
Way to go guys.
It was going so well.
It had like 1200 likes and zero dislikes.
And out of all of you who took the time to go to the video, okay, only about 800 of you
clicked like and 250 of you clicked dislike.
So this tells us once and for all the percentage of Twitch chat that is pure troll to the core,
okay?
It was pure troll.
I was so happy with that too because it actually had zero and was like pretty high and I was
like, that's pretty cool.
Oh man.
Well I'm sorry.
I wrecked it by trying to help.
That's what happened here.
The thing is too, right when you said it, I was like, that's cool.
Oh God, no it's not.
I'm still going to get wrecked.
There is still time.
There is still time for you to find the good in you and go back and like it.
There's still time.
Your 240 souls can still be saved, okay?
Come back from the troll.
All right, what else we got here?
This is great.
So former Apple designers say that Apple has lost the fundamental principles of good design.
I don't know how else to wreck a company more than that.
Yeah, and there's some pretty good points here.
So this is coming from Apple's first interface designer and the thing that you could kind
of say is, well, okay, a lot has changed since the Apple poo.
And you need to be able to do more.
Yeah, and you need to be able to do more and more purchase decisions are made these days
based on how a device looks, whether it's rose gold or space gray versus what specs
does it have and how many lines of code can it show on the screen in one color green or
whatever.
So the world has changed, but the fundamentals of good design don't necessarily go away.
And there are some very legitimate criticisms here.
So they criticize Apple for having no universal back or undo button.
This is something that I have been hating on for so long.
And I'll hear people say, well, no.
And one of the things I complain about is most of the time, according to Apple's guidelines,
it's in the top left.
And I said, well, hold on a second, Apple still hasn't fixed this crap, even though
they've got big phones that you can't reach with one hand anymore.
And people are like, no, because you can swipe from the left sometimes, usually even.
Not always.
And inconsistencies.
That's a huge problem.
Huge problem.
You need to have the UI work the same way kind of all the time or else that's not good.
Another one is what they call hidden gesture based menus.
And I know that there are freaks on Earth.
You heard me, Taren, freaks who can have literally 30 macro buttons on their computers and have
multiple profiles of different sets of macros and can actually use them.
It's insane.
It's amazing.
Like they're not labeled.
But for most people, a lot of the gestures that are showing up in iOS are going to be
ones that they're just plain not going to remember exist.
I mean, there's the ones that are really handy, like swipe to search, swipe up for being able
to turn on the flashlight or disable Wi-Fi, but for whatever reason not enable portable
hotspot.
But there's ones that are just like, yeah, it's like two fingers to do this and three
fingers for that and four fingers for this.
And it's just like, who's going to even use this stuff?
How about you just make that functionality accessible in a way that's actually meaningful
to me?
And then the last one is pushing visual simplicity over usability testing in the new human interface
guidelines that they're publishing for developers.
To be clear, they're not only criticizing Apple for this.
They're also criticizing Google Maps.
Google Maps used to be so easy to use.
And now, because I don't use it very often, pretty much every time I try to find the satellite
view, I can't find it.
For Google Maps?
Yeah.
Just like, where the crap did they put it?
Trying to navigate somewhere with someone who uses Apple Maps is actually infuriating
because it'll just suck the whole time.
Apple Maps?
Yeah.
I don't mind it.
It's been...
Really?
It at least doesn't take me literally 25 minutes away from where I'm trying to go.
Google Maps has done a couple of times.
Really?
Yeah.
When I was shopping for this place, I missed the appointment to see this place the first
time because Google Maps took me to some residential area literally way out in 260th Street.
That's brutal.
And it's like, in Europe, I get it.
Because in Europe, no offense to Europeans, but the way streets are laid out are ridiculous.
It's just random.
You might as well just take a map of the town, shake it, and kick it, and then take a hat
full of random words and dump it on it.
That's how they're named.
Impossible.
In North America, it's very simple.
You got your streets going this way, and they're numbered sequentially for the most part.
And then you got your...
By city kind of thing.
And then you got your avenues that go this way.
It starts at zero for America and then goes up.
That would be...
Okay.
Very simple.
Not to like...
It's a grid.
Go off topic.
So you could sanity check.
That's the point I'm trying to make, though, is they could sanity check an address to make
sure it makes at least an ounce of sense.
Yeah.
Whereas in Europe, I understand that that's not always possible.
That is the reason why I kind of want to start our skit channel, because dressing up in super
old school English clothing, and actually shaking the thing and throwing the words in,
and then making it seem super official.
If we had some naming ceremony or something, that would be hilarious.
I want to do a sketch comedy channel.
I can't figure out the economics of it.
And that's a huge problem.
That's a huge problem, because we can't just do random things that make us happy, unfortunately.
The world doesn't work that way.
Although Channel Super Fun has...
We do do some of that.
But sketch comedy, to do it well, and I want to do it well.
I want to have a budget, and actors, and props, and locations, and not the free grade of music.
I want to have good music in it that you'll end up having to pay for.
To do sketch comedy right, we would probably need somewhere in the neighborhood of about
a $5,000 budget per sketch, to be even decent.
Yeah.
At least.
That's like, you guys are probably looking at the going, whoa, you guys are just wasting
money or whatever.
No, no.
It's called sustainability.
Yes, we could make a sketch on our own time, on the weekends, for very cheaply.
But if it's part of what we're doing as a company, and if it's not, if it's part of
making the people who help us, the actors who contribute to our production, or the camera
operators who come in and help us, part of making sure that they're making a living,
you have to pay those people fairly.
And fairly doesn't necessarily mean $15 an hour, because that's the minimum wage plus
sum.
Because these people are in a feast and famine industry.
So when there's no work, they're getting paid nothing, which means that when they are getting
paid, they need to be making like a pretty...
So they can kind of stash it for the winter.
That's right, that's right.
So people are like, Linus loves to lecture us.
To be fair, he's pretty good at it.
If he was a teacher, I would legitimately listen, and that's good.
Someone else is like, Linus racism.
What?
The streets being poorly laid out in Europe has nothing to do with racism.
It has to do with...
It has nothing to do with race.
I'm of European descent, so as far as races go...
It has to do with, they were set up a really long time ago, and built upon for way too
long, so now they're a mess.
Exactly.
It has nothing to do with...
And it's incredibly difficult to go back and fix that, also known as probably impossible.
Yes.
Probably impossible.
What are you gonna do?
Can you...
You're just gonna randomly rename everything all at once, and just watch everyone just
be in the worst traffic jam in the history of anything?
Even that's impossible, though, because the streets are just amazed.
Well, because they weren't probably designed for cars.
Can you imagine, okay?
Can you imagine someone running for mayor of London, or whatever they call that position
over there.
I don't know if they call it mayor.
Anyway, my point is...
Can you imagine their plan being, okay, over the next 20 years, every two years, we're
gonna level a tenth of the city, and put it back together in a sensible manner, right?
It's not gonna happen.
It's not gonna happen.
No.
So like, I get it.
It's just...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Linus isn't racist.
He's misunderstood.
Yeah.
Sure.
Let's go with that.
All right.
Intel says, Moore's Law isn't dead.
Personal article here is from VentureBeat, and was posted on the forum by NeoFalfa.
Okay.
I'm not saying this exact article is being read on the WAN Show, but have we not had
an article from Intel with the same title before?
Yes.
Oh, multiple times.
Yeah.
They just always say this.
They wouldn't have...
Like once a year.
They wouldn't have to if everyone else wasn't running around saying Moore's Law was dead.
Okay.
That's fair.
All right.
All right.
All right.
So Intel gets all defensive and like...
Guys, stop!
No way!
No way!
I visited AMD's SSD thing in Folsom back like four years ago or something like that, and
I accidentally walked into a room that had like...
I think I can talk about it now because their 3D NAND is out, but this was like really early
stages, like technical drawings of how their 3D NAND was gonna work.
And they were like, you've been in here?
You didn't take any pictures of that whiteboard, right?
I'm like, no.
Like, don't take any pictures of that whiteboard.
And they just went over and like erased it.
Like it was like...
It was like a big deal.
Anyway.
So I actually did interviews with some of their engineers and I was like, okay, so the
hard drive guys are saying that Moore's Law and SSDs can't scale in capacity the way that
magnetic has, and they're just like...
We're pretty sure it can.
And I was like, no, but...
We're pretty sure it can.
And I was like, okay, but can you elaborate...
We're pretty sure it can.
But I'm like, okay, fine, I get it.
You guys are cocky.
I get that.
I respect that.
That's fine.
I never actually pulled up the article here, so...
I put it in Twitch chat, though.
Good job.
All right.
Intel says Moore's Law ain't dead yet.
So they figure we're gonna make it all the way down to what was it?
Like seven nan...
Yeah, so Intel can see its path through seven nanometer in spite of some difficulties with
14 nanometer that have been fairly well publicized.
So here's a slide that is in extremely low resolution, but hopefully you guys somewhat
get the point.
But one thing that is happening for sure is that the cost per millimeter squared is going
up.
So even though you're still able to achieve that doubling of how many transistors you
can put per millimeter squared, it is getting more expensive.
So don't expect to see, and we've already seen this to a certain extent, don't expect
to see that twice as many transistors, like a capability, necessarily turn into chips
that are twice as capable.
Because in order to offset the additional cost per millimeter squared, we might end
up with smaller chips.
So it's something that we've already kind of seen happening, but will become more and
more of a factor as time goes on.
Excited for graphene.
Okay, I just dumped that in there.
Someone posted in the chat, can't believe you guys haven't talked about the new Lumia
yet.
And I was like, what are you even talking about?
That was a while ago.
Yeah, no, I knew about this.
This is from 12 hours ago.
This is?
Oh no, this is the review.
No, this was announced a while back.
Same time as the devices people care about, Surface Book and Surface Pro 4.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was going to say for one, I think we covered the rumor, but I guess that was just the announcement,
not the rumor.
And it's a Windows phone, so.
So it's still got Windows on it.
Yeah.
Alright.
Cool.
Basically, I super quickly skimmed through the review and there was nothing that I didn't
expect.
Okay.
Also, I looked up tunneling and it says, dig or force a passage underground or through
something.
A passage.
So I don't think a burrow under the snow counts because it's not a passage.
So technically a tunnel has to go somewhere.
That's interesting.
I actually didn't know that.
So tummy tunnel could still be correct.
Because it goes somewhere.
Tummy tunnel.
Yeah.
Your tummy tunnel.
Is that just your belly button?
No.
Like your intestines.
Your tummy tunnel.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It goes somewhere.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Alright.
Speaking of things that no one cared about, we actually, I think we were teasing them
about this a little bit when we did the unboxing, but we should talk about sort of where
the R9 380X falls in place within the rest of the gaming landscape.
It's really, this is really funny.
Okay.
I'm going to tell a story that I'm not sure.
Oh yeah.
I was going to tell a funny story before that I never ended up telling.
I don't think.
Oh yeah.
I don't remember.
Sorry.
I don't know what you're.
You were prompting me to tell it.
I think it was funny or something.
Oh crap.
Yeah.
I know.
No.
Wasn't that the Colton thing?
Yes.
Okay.
So the R9 380X.
And he was joking to me when we found out that we weren't going to get the card in time,
so we ended up releasing a moving blog that we've kind of had in the bank for a rainy
day for a while, instead of our 380X review, which was on the schedule.
He was like, so you know what we could do is just test all the rest of the cards, look
at the MSRP of the R9 380X, and then just take the price and the prices of the other
cards and extrapolate the FPS from there.
And I was like, you're joking, right?
He's like, yes.
I'm like, okay, good.
And I'm like, but that would totally work because, and this has been the conclusion
for what?
Like your last eight graphics card reviews?
Oh yeah.
Like a long time.
I love doing the videos, but like the conclusion is like, yeah, you all knew this.
AMD or Nvidia.
I think in every single video it's been a bit like, so the performance is unsurprising,
but it slots here.
Like I seriously think I've said that for like a year now, at least AMD or Nvidia looks
at the other cards on the market and looks at where, how theirs performs.
Cause they're the only ones who know at that point.
And then they price it exactly where it fits.
And that is what the R9 380X is.
It's a compelling value.
If you wanted to spend 230 us dollars on a graphics card, good value card.
If you wanted to spend $200, you could buy the 380.
And if you wanted to spend $250, you could get a 285.
And all of those things would make sense.
Yeah.
There's no like surprises in the graphics industry right now at all.
Yeah.
How much money do you have?
This much.
Pick a team.
There you go.
Good job.
I'm really hoping that with the, with the die shrink and with HBM, Nvidia is going to
knock my socks off next year.
We need, seriously, like I went to GDX a little while ago.
Nvidia announced this like super cool thing that they're working on with a gaming company
where they're doing like a climbing Everest simulator.
Yeah.
That looks really cool.
It's bad-ass and awesome.
Good, good, good.
But there was these really interesting panels with some like industry influencers or speculators
or developers like the CEO of CCP games was there.
And CCP games is making like some of the coolest stuff in VR.
Valkyrie is bad-ass.
They had a game there, which was basically the Tron game where you throw discs.
So I got to play that against Colton.
I think I beat him like 20 something to two.
Poor Colton.
So that was fun.
Get wrecked.
But like that was probably the second most fun VR demo I've ever done.
And Valkyrie was the first.
So like CCP is kind of wrecking it right now, which is awesome.
I'm totally down for that.
But there's some really cool stuff.
But one thing that was said more than once up on stage was like, whoa, this is really
hard to run.
Like a lot of people were like, OK, wow, yes, there will be mobile experiences and those
will probably be the most of the market, which they're probably right.
And they are working on rendering tricks to, you know, don't render it from that angle
and do pre-DFisheye and all that kind of stuff.
Render just this little bit at full res and render the rest of it at much lower res.
It's still incredibly hard to run.
And the mobile ones are going to be super basic.
There's a CCP game called Gun Jack, which is kind of Valkyrie, but also kind of not
like it's you're in space and you're shooting gun at other spaceships.
But you're in a fixed position.
Everything comes at you.
Oh, so it's asteroid.
I don't.
Yeah, it's modern.
That sounds badass.
It's modern asteroid.
It's tons of fun.
But like if you think about Valkyrie compared to that, Valkyrie is way more intense.
So they're going to be way narrowed down when they're mobile.
And when they're on PC, you're going to need a beast machine to run these things without
getting sick because you need insane FPS.
This is cool.
This is cool.
For the first time, SLI might universally make a ton of sense.
Yeah, VR SLI looks badass because it can render each eye separately as its own low latency
path.
I am super stoked on what SLI means for VR performance.
It could be a literal doubling across the board.
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
You do, don't you?
Yes.
All right.
Nick insists.
So I'm going to do it.
Nick insists that I bring this up.
The LTT edition Noctua fans are in stock.
You can actually order them and they will ship immediately.
The pre-orders, I know people waited longer than they wanted to, but the good news is
my Twitter feed has been absolutely flooded with people talking about how much they love
them and showing them installed in their systems.
It's been great.
I haven't gotten a single piece of negative feedback.
I haven't gotten a single person tweeting at me saying it didn't work, which is great,
which is exactly why we partnered with Noctua for this because I did not want to see that
kind of stuff.
With that said, some of them will fail.
Oh, yeah.
Even the best product in the world fails.
We're shipping too many to have, I think, 100% success rate.
4,000.
We're shipping 4,000.
So with that said, I got Performance PC's site up here.
There's 303 NFA14s left for Americans.
There are 143 NFF12s left for Americans.
Overclockers.co.uk may be out already.
If they have any, it is not very many and probably only 140s.
NCIX still has a fair bit of stock and they ship worldwide, but you're going to eat it
on the shipping cost.
So if you can find someone closer to you while they still have stock, now is the time.
And PLE in Australia still has a few, mostly 140s, but they do still have some 120s.
So if you guys want them, get yours today.
I don't know if we're going to make more.
I legitimately don't know if we're going to make more.
This was something that was really cool and I was really happy to be able to do it.
If we make more, are we taking the limited edition sticker off the new ones or no?
No, they will still be limited because if we make more, that will very likely be the
last run.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's for sure.
I'm not getting into the business of like selling fans all day and allocating a bunch
of our warehouse space to like pallets of fans.
That's not happening.
This is just something that I felt really passionately I wanted to exist.
So I bought 4,000 of them so that I could make sure that we met the minimum order quantity
so they could exist.
And then now that they exist, I am content, they exist now.
I don't need to make more of them.
Also oh right, this is huge.
There is a new merch store.
So this link, merch.linustechtips.com has always kind of led to a super crappy merch
store that's like all out of stock and stuff and like overpriced shipping and a lot of
other issues.
We have officially partnered with Teespring to bring you guys a fully Teespringed out
merch store and to celebrate, we have brought back almost all of our previous designs.
So now they are not just available in one style or one colour.
You can go to any of our designs and you can pick the colours that you want.
See, check that out.
You can pick the style that you want so you can now get hoodies in some of the styles
that never had hoodie designs before.
Like just the plain, wan, stealth shirt.
Not necessarily all of them, but a few of the designs that aren't here right now might
be coming still.
Resolution is just a number.
Resolution is just a number.
It has to be retooled to be 10 colours or less and brofist also has to be retooled to
reduce the number of colours because we are using a different printing technology here
that can't do more than 10 colours.
So there you go guys, and there's more to it than that.
This is really cool.
So for the holiday, Nick is literally messaging me about this now.
I'm sure that's what he's doing.
Oh, yeah, I have good breath, oh okay, that's fine Nick.
And stay tuned guys because we are planning to do an offer code for the holiday season
so that every design is going to be available for a discount for the holiday season.
I don't remember what the offer code is, but stay tuned for that guys because it's going
to be AWESOME!
Do we have a final count on the number of episodes for Scrapyard Wars?
Yeah, seven.
Okay.
So this weekend will be the final episode on Vessel and the next week will be the final
episode on YouTube.
I knew that, I didn't know if it was public.
Yep, well no it wasn't.
Now it is.
Now it is.
Cool, seven.
Now it is!
Literally my entire chat just asks me when Scrapyard Wars is going to end.
That's awesome.
This is really cool, Sony enabled PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility, sort of without
telling anyone.
They have officially announced it now, but there you go.
That's cool.
Here you go.
Update, a Sony representative sent us the following statement in response to our query
about the emulator's existence.
We are working on utilizing PS2 emulation technology to bring PS2 games forward to the
current generation.
We have nothing further to comment at this point in time.
Not that I would know, obviously, I would have no idea at all, but I think PC users
have been able to do this for like...
PS2?
Yeah.
Yeah, there's PS2 emulators.
Not that we would know.
No.
No, I legitimately haven't run a PS2 emulator, I have a PS2, but I know that they exist.
I have run PS1 emulators.
I never owned a PS1, I'll admit to that.
Well, actually I did own one, but the optical drive broke and it was out of warranty, so
I used an emulator.
Rip.
What if...
Aren't we not supposed to...
Well, I own the game.
Okay.
And I owned a console.
Okay.
Is that actually a thing, or is that...
It's not legal, but in much the same way that I can own all the DVDs of South Park and I
will stream it to myself using AirVideo, which is technically not allowed in some countries
anyway, I don't even know in Canada, I don't care, because as far as I'm concerned...
You paid for the content?
I paid for that piece of content, so you guys can just...
I'm down to back that.
Yeah, so as far as I'm concerned, if I own Final Fantasy Tactics...
I actually don't emulate things, so I was trolling a little bit, but I actually don't.
I have a PS2, and the games that I wanted to play on PS2, I own.
I don't know why, I just like playing with the authentic experience.
One of the reasons that I emulate is that I really like save states.
Save states are cool, but that's actually part of it for me.
I want to struggle through it like it was me playing in that day.
No, I'm not that into that.
Back when the save point was this manipulative thing to make you keep playing, when it's
like, realistically, you know what, my kid's crying right now.
See, that makes sense.
I don't have time for that.
And part of it for me is I want to have a lot on the line, because a lot with those
games was they're not actually that long, and part of it's like the accomplishment of
getting there is like, holy awesome.
Having to sit through the bloody cutscene again if you don't beat the boss this time
is a punishment.
Literally.
Is a punishment.
And that makes it that once you beat him, it's like, yes!
Now to be clear, I ration my use of save states.
I use save states for convenience and for time management, I do not use them to cheat.
So a game like Final Fantasy Tactics, have you ever played it?
Play it now.
Play it, go home, and play it.
It is great.
I played a game that was a tactics game that wasn't Final Fantasy and I loved it, and then
everyone was like, play Final Fantasy!
And I just, I don't know why I haven't.
I'm excited to, I want to, I own it, I just haven't.
Play it now.
Okay, so anyway, but it's a turn-based, it's a turn-based strategic game.
So it would be so easy to cheat with save states, but I don't.
I use save states to make sure that I can pause the game when I have to walk away for
it for two days.
See, that's cool.
Cause like, when I was a kid, right, and I didn't have an emulator, and I had a Super
Nintendo, I'd just have to leave my SNES on for like, you know, a week sometimes.
I've done that.
Of course you have!
Yeah, I've done that so many times.
And if the power goes out, it's like, come on!
Yeah, yeah.
Come on!
You gotta make sure that like where your console is isn't an enclosed space and it can breathe
or else it'll like overheat and die.
Yeah, Twitch chat.
Twitch chat now.
Just do it.
Tactics now.
I saw that.
I saw that.
Great game.
I saw that.
Oh, people are asking how to get the hoodie that we're wearing.
That's teespring.com slash wan Christmas.
So the main store is just for past campaigns.
We're still gonna do like limited edition campaigns.
So there you go.
All right, what else do we have?
What else do we have for this week?
Oh, this is a really cool thing about the PlayStation 2 emulator.
Much like many emulators can do, they are actually taking this opportunity to upsample
the games.
So they are running at, looks like 1292 by 896.
Cool stuff.
Apparently runs pretty smoothly.
Only a few titles have been released for backwards compatibility so far, like some Star Wars
stuff and stuff like that.
That's probably why they haven't announced it yet.
Well, okay, that's probably why they didn't announce it until now, I guess.
This was posted by Nine Shadow on the forum.
It's bringing back the flip phone with a smart flip phone.
Yes, my friends, a smart phone flip phone.
So we're sorry, when we were in Japan, it doesn't really seem like the flip phone is
fully dead.
Yeah, okay.
Fair enough.
There you go.
Cool.
CPU, 1.8 gigahertz, 1.4 gigahertz, big little, that's interesting, 768 by 1280.
So they've gone not quite 16 by 9.
Very interesting.
Super AMOLED screen, okay.
So basically, it's not like a flagship device or anything like that, but personally, I think
there's a value to the flip phone.
It does put the microphone closer to your mouth, so that's cool.
It has 64 gigs of internal storage.
Oh, no, never mind.
Oh, sorry.
No, no, no, no.
I misinterpreted a couple of things here.
That is a flagship phone.
That's got an Exynos 7420, 3 gigs of RAM, 64 gigs of storage, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop,
and two 3.9-inch Super AMOLED displays with a 16-megapixel primary camera and a numeric
T9 keypad.
This one is in Chinese, and I did not translate it, but looking at the rating thing at the
bottom, it's hilarious.
Five out of five, five out of five, four out of five, one out of five.
I have no idea what they got wrecked on, if they got wrecked on something.
Can I help you?
Oh, thank you.
What else was I...
Oh, yeah.
Do you think...
Did you ever really text using T9?
Was that a thing for you for a long time, or did you get a cell phone in there?
T9 was T9.
Yeah.
T9 was predictive number pad typing.
Yeah, I did.
Okay.
So not press it three times for...
Yeah, no.
I did.
Oh, okay.
You did.
Do you think you could type faster on T9 than on a touchscreen still?
I think I'd be out of the groove.
I think I'd have to...
Because T9 was like a...
You could have skill.
Oh, yeah.
You could be really fast on T9.
I knew friends that were insanity fast on T9.
So I think I'd have to get back into it.
I still use it a little, because I dial all my contacts with T9.
Oh, interesting.
You don't do that?
I don't do that.
Oh, it's by far the fastest way to call people, because you just bring up the dial pad, and
then you're just like, boom.
Yeah.
And it brings up the corresponding T9 matches.
But if you dial phone numbers, it also recognizes that.
That's what I do.
Wow.
But you know people's phone numbers?
Actually, a lot of people that I call, yeah.
Wow.
Okay.
Well, I'll know a section.
I'll know three digits.
Yours I know, because reasons.
Like other people...
Booty calls!
I know four digits of my dad's.
I know three digits of my brother's.
I'll know a little bit of different people's phone numbers.
Enough that I can type it in there, and it'll come up.
But do you think you could...
Or it's in my favorites thing at the top.
Do you think with practice, you could get faster than touchscreen?
When looking at the phone, yes.
With touchscreen, I can text blindly.
I don't think I can do that with T9s.
Oh, okay.
And I think that's probably enough for me.
Right.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I'm actually gonna try and get...
I don't even know if it's gonna be...
I don't even know if they're gonna release it in North America, but I'm gonna try and
go back to a flip.
I'm gonna see if I can get a review into that phone.
That'd be cool.
I'd be interested in what the battery life's like.
Yeah, I'd be really interested to know what the battery life's like.
Oh!
Let's announce the offer code.
So for $3 off everything in the Teespring store, the offer code is all caps HOLIDAY.
Some of you people in chat were complaining about the price tags.
The price tags?
Yeah.
They were too expensive.
The dollar, dollar bills?
Yeah.
So what up now, son?
Oh.
They're cheaper.
Yeah.
$3 off.
Boom.
What else we got here?
It's stupid watch.
Oh, yeah, right.
This stupid thing.
Okay.
So you know what, I mean, it's not like the idea is stupid.
Introducing the Block Smartwatch.
We even ripped the name off of phone blocks.
Now it's like watch blocks.
So it's a modular smartwatch made of several links or modules, each of which can be a variety
of different things, including a fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor, LED, SIMD, blood
oxygen level, blah, blah, haptic feedback, camera, flash memory, developer module, kinetic
charger, extra battery, body temperature, et cetera.
We're live on Kickstarter, and that's when my interest level completely fell off the
rails.
Oh, yeah.
So it's a really cool idea, and then you figure out that they're a Kickstarter project, and
then it's no longer a really cool idea.
Estimated shipping date is June 2016.
Well, I guess it's still a cool idea, but it's not a cool thing.
It's still a really cool idea, but I just have so little faith.
I mean, just in the last week alone, okay, the coolest cooler made headlines for not
having fulfilled its backers' orders yet, and having the cooler up for sale on Amazon
in an attempt to recoup the money that they need to produce the units for the Kickstarter
backers, which I kind of get, and if I was in their situation, that's a whole lot better
than folding the company outright, but it really is a kick in the teeth for the Kickstarter
backers who didn't get their cooler, and also recently, after raising a record $34 million
on Kickstarter, Xano went completely under, will not be shipping, did not show demos during
an office tour of the drone flying, is folding, and that's it.
Devastating collapse, promised a lot of drones, failed to ship almost all of the promised
units, and there you go.
It's one of those things where it's like, okay, a retail price for a product is designed
to cover the cost of making it, okay, for one thing, and then to cover the profit margin
for the company.
So what made anyone think, and this is something I've always wondered about, what made anyone
think that getting all the funding for your first, I don't know, let's say 5,000 units,
getting all that money to produce them at a reduced rate compared to what you're pretty
sure you need to sell it for in order to be profitable, what made anyone think that that
was going to kickstart your company, that that was going to help you pay for the office
and the employees that you need to ramp up development and bring the product to market?
You're effectively just selling product at a reduced price, so you're selling it at an
unsustainable price already.
And you're talking to the people that will fanatically buy it at the normal price, giving
them a discount, and those are the people that are actually going to start running your
company.
And that's your plan, to achieve sustainability.
So yeah, I wish the watch luck, the blocks watch luck, 400 milliamp-hour batteries, Snapdragon
400 processor.
What you can do, just like everything else, and what we suggested to do with the laser
razors, so if any of you guys bought that, rip.
Well, no, it's fine, they got refunds.
Oh, did they?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, that's cool.
Everyone on Kickstarter, I don't know how the Indiegogo campaign is doing, though.
Oh, dear.
Well, I guess it's not a refund, because the campaign didn't finish, so they didn't pay
out.
Okay.
Okay.
Just don't do it.
Just wait for it to come out.
If it costs slightly more money, it's not going to be that much.
It'll be fine.
Wow, the SCARP raised $430,000 on Indiegogo and did get funded.
So who knows?
Maybe they'll prove us all wrong.
But if they do, then just buy it then, man.
Yes.
Don't buy it now.
It's like, don't pre-order.
Things we shouldn't have to say, but we do.
Speaking of not pre-ordering, I sure wouldn't pre-order one of these, not that it's particularly
expensive.
LG has partnered with Walmart to make $10 Android phones.
We're talking smartphones for $10.
Are they great?
No.
But they are undercutting the previously cheapest phone, the $35 Firefox OS phone, by a significant
margin.
It runs Android 4.4 KitKat.
You get Wi-Fi, but no 4G.
There is no front-facing camera, but you actually do get a microSD slot.
How many of these do you think are going to sell to people that aren't drug dealers?
Drug dealers.
Oh.
We were going the same place with that, but from opposite angles.
Yes.
I don't know.
I mean, I could see people who just want, like if my kid broke a phone and then needed
a phone and didn't have enough allowance saved up for a new phone, I'd be like, yo, that's
your phone.
They'd be like, ugh, really?
And I'd be like, ugh, really?
Don't break your phone.
Right.
That's about how that conversation, I could see it being used for that.
Yeah.
I just, we should get one.
You should review it.
I mean, it would only cost $10.
Yeah, I'd be down for that.
It would actually be pretty interesting.
Yeah.
How much does, like compare it to like a note, whatever, how much does like $1,000 something
dollars get you compared to this?
That's really interesting.
Is that worth it?
The most like insanity price to performance test ever.
All right, so let's, uh, yeah, I wanted to do the, uh, no, soon, uh, Fanatic, speaking
of crowdfunding, although in this case, Fanatic is not crowdfunding to raise funds.
They're just crowdfunding for, as a publicity stunt, which is what the more successful crowdfunding
companies do.
Like that was what the Pono player did.
They already had all their funding.
You think Neil Young needs your, you know, a hundred thousand or a million dollars or
whatever Pono player raised.
Um, so Fanatic, I guess this means the end of their relationship with SteelSeries, but
they have their own line of gaming equipment now.
It would appear as though they have acquired funk and, uh, gone ahead and released, well,
basically what I can't quite tell.
I can't see them that closely, but it looks an awful lot like the existing funk lineup.
Um, and yeah, they're basically saying, yep, it's no nonsense gaming gear and it's for
playing games and their peripherals, I guess.
So there you have it.
Yeah.
So what a weird, what a weird move for an esports team to get into actually making hardware.
And again, you look at sort of us, you know, going out like, Oh, we have a fan now or whatever
else.
I guess it's like not that bizarre, but, um, I mean, we also are not, you know, running
out and trying to, you know, maintain that, that brand.
Yeah.
Very, very, very interesting.
Um, AMD is bundling Star Wars Battlefront with select graphics cards.
So that is pretty darn big news.
So that's when you purchase an AMD Radeon R9 Fury graphics card, terms and conditions
apply.
See, blah, blah, blah, AMD.com slash AMD rewards for details.
So that's pretty huge if you were planning to buy a graphics card and you were planning
to buy Battlefront to play with your new graphics card, cause that's like a what, $70 value
or something along those lines.
Um, and this is pretty freaking unexpected.
Apple snuck a USB 3.0 compatible lightning port into the iPad Pro.
Um, I absolutely love this article.
Um, so for one thing, the iFixit teardown, I believe, yep, the iFixit teardown found
a USB 3.0 controller.
So even though Apple hadn't said anything about it, the hardware's in there and then
they, they, they admitted, yes, it's in there, but, and this is great, um, that the blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Oh no, maybe it was, uh, maybe it was a different, maybe it was a different article I was reading
about it, but it was like, and, and Apple users have been, have been trying their, their
USB 3.0 or their USB 2.0 lightning connectors to see if they get the extra speed.
They would, wouldn't they?
Uh, USB 3.0 requires more pins.
So what I'm assuming is that there's going to be a significantly modified lightning connector
that somehow works with it or whatever and, uh, that'll, that'll, that'll all become more,
more apparent in the future.
So the current USB 2.0 models, I don't know if they'll be backwards or forwards compatible
or how the whole thing's going to work, but, uh, yeah, it looks like good stuff.
I had really hoped that Apple would just go USB type C. Um, but it looks like either they're
not ready or they're going to continue down the lightning path if they can find a way
to make it, uh, make it more interoperable within their own ecosystem, which I get, totally
get.
So speaking of things that I get, I get to end the show now, but the after party is happening.
I have pretested we are going to be watching ultra wide festival, honorable mentions today.
See you in the after party.
7,500 viewers for like a lot of it.
Awesome.
Yeah.
Awesome.
Everything is awesome.
I love to sing that song.
When you're part of a team.
Part of a team.
I'm part of a team.
I'm basically just a shitty person at the end of the day, no, I have my redeeming qualities
and narcissist.
