No, I don't think anyone did bump the cable, I think the microphone is set to allow exclusivity
mode and then Skype was open and I think Skype grabbed the mic in between recording the local
recording and actually going live, so I ended up being completely silent, okay.
So what I was trying to say that whole time, in a very long and roundabout way, if it helps
at all, I actually hadn't really said anything yet, I was mostly just killing time, what
I was trying to say is that our New Year's resolution is to start the show on time and
that those of you with calendars or fancy phonemajiggers in your pockets have probably
realized it is not the New Year yet, so that's why we are nine minutes late, but in that
time I have been tooling around with getting the audio working for a while and so we are
actually more like 14 minutes late, but there's that and I was also going to address that
Focusrite on account of Christmas or something, wusses, has not managed to come by yet, this
is actually an audio interface that we bought, they are going to bring some other gear, but
they have not managed to come out here yet, they are going to come in the New Year and
we are definitely going to be upgrading the audio set up to something that is not a USB
microphone, it will be all XLR and fancy and nice and all that good stuff.
It's really funny though, we had a call with them a little while ago and they were just
like hey, so we couldn't help noticing that you know, you guys are recording in a warehouse
and so we were thinking like you know, I don't know maybe you would want to put up some sound
deadening so you don't get that echo and I was like yeah, you know what, that's really
the least of our problems, I mean if we can have audio working at all and like a compressor
would be great, then we are going to call that good and they are like yeah, but we really
think that with these other additional things that we are like, I am like yeah, it's a set
that we use literally one and a half hours a week, so if we are creating a bunch of clutter
they are like yeah, but we think we can make it sound really good, I am like you know what,
let's just get it working and then we will worry about making it sound amazing, how about
it just works first and then we go from there.
So oh hey, we have a special guest for the WAN show today, hey Vaughn, can I borrow you
for a minute, oh I just wanted my three month old daughter to make a special appearance
on WAN show today, is she able to do that, is she kind of cranky right now, okay, oh
boy, oh man they get heavy fast, so this is definitely how to handle a baby, when you
are streaming live, there you go, so that's my new baby, I really don't know what she
is looking at, you can tell that she is my daughter because she is wearing her brother's
hand me downs, that is the way that you can tell that and hi, are you going to smile for
us, hello, oh she doesn't want to play the tickle the nose game, hey what are you even
looking at, what if I bounce you, wow you are getting really heavy, hello, okay, yup
and she was not stoked on that guest appearance and we are done.
So alright, we have got a lot of great topics for you guys today, which is a total lie,
but we do have a couple of topics, so Amazon patents reveal, I won't call this a plan,
but they reveal talk I guess, of flying warehouses that send delivery drones to your door, there
is a rumor that HTC is expected to unveil the Vive 2 at CES 27, already, I just bought
a Vive, okay and Tesla predicts accidents and gives warning before it happens and in
Florida, a Florida senator says we shouldn't need a permit for driverless cars, so there
you go, let's go ahead and roll the intro, see if it works, is it going to work, oh there
is no music, there we go, freshbooks.com slash wan and there is no reason to stay here and
stare at the intro because there is no awesome music to go with it, so this is kind of a,
you know what, here, this is a perfect opportunity for me to talk about sort of one of the challenges
that I think we have had with the wan show computer, so we learned recently that the
best way to update XSplit is to fully uninstall it and reinstall it, I did not know that,
apparently what XSplit does if you just install updates on top of updates on top of updates
is it only updates certain parts of the program, so if you have ever had XSplit have like the
old icon in your task bar but then you launch it and it has the new logo on the splash screen
but then it has like the older style theme, that's why, so I have an issue with XSplit
right now where I can't play AVI's and so that's why I can't play our normal intros,
they play slowly, all of them, but I was even able to play back a much higher bitrate file
which is our old, old intro but one that doesn't have audio and that's how I temporarily got
it working but then I have never looked at it again and so it's very, very temporary
and to the army of people demanding that we use OBS, OBS is a steeping pile in completely
different ways, so yes, I have used OBS and I have used XSplit and in this case I'm going
with the devil that I know, if anyone has a suggestion that is not OBS, then I'll be
willing to listen to it, thank you, thank you to all the suggestions for OBS but yeah
I'm not pretending that XSplit is perfect, I am literally in the middle of complaining
about it but that doesn't mean that OBS is great, sorry, alright, so let's go ahead and
jump into one of our topics here, wow, I could really use some water but we are so short
right now on people, I don't even know if there's someone that I could cry to, to bring
me a bottle of water at the moment, so the original article here is from TechCrunch, Amazon
patents show flying warehouses that send delivery drones to your door, figure 3, look at figure
3, okay, so this warehouse has this blimp or something, so 350, okay, so blimp 350 goes
like here or something, okay, and then blimp 302 is like bigger than blimp 350 and has
like a warehouse, I mean, Tailspin anyone, like, oh thank you Colton, Tailspin right,
like we are just going to have like floating gas stations and like sky pirates, that's
the future, sky pirates busting into Amazon floating warehouses and like the air police,
like right now we've got police on foot, we've got police in cars, we've got police in motorcycles,
police in helicopters, in Canada we have police on horses and now we are going to have police
in airplanes, it's going to happen, I'm calling it right now, December 30th, 2016 was when
Linus predicted airplane police, which probably already exists, just calm down, but anyway,
so look back, going back to the screen share here, so the idea would be that you would
have these resupply drones carry supplies presumably up to the blimps, not drones, I'm
not going to call it a drone, sorry, I mean it would probably be a drone because it would
probably be automated, but besides the point, so you would have a resupply blimp from the
warehouse 330 to the larger blimp 302 and then you would have drones that like carry
stuff to the city and then like maybe returns would go back to blimp 350, so blimp 350,
hold on a second, so okay, so drones would go from the main warehouse to the city and
they could also go from blimp 350 to the city and then they could also go up to 350 and
then down from 302 to the city, so the idea being then I guess that you would never be
deploying more aircraft than you need to get to the final destination, very very cool,
I will now read the notes because I basically made all that up as I went from one diagram,
figure three, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, more detail, blah blah blah, warehouse
in a zeppelin, blah blah blah, including temperature controlled models ideally suited for food
delivery, that would be freaking awesome, like food coming down from the sky, all my
favourite shows, cloudy with a chance meatballs now, an example cited in the filing is that
at a sporting event, Amazon AFCs could be loaded above with snacks and souvenirs, so
Amazon would be finding a way to take their 8 to 15% cut, I forget exactly what it is
to get fulfilment by Amazon right now as a third party seller, we looked into it with
our WAN show hoodies, but they are basically trying to figure out how to get their 10 to
15% cut on everything, amazing, besides the airborne fulfilment centres, so those are
the AFCs and the affiliated drones, the company has envisioned larger shuttles that could
carry people, supplies and drones to the AFCs or back to the ground, well that sounds like
the kind of future that I would want to be a part of, as long as we don't run out of
helium, we'll be okay, because they start filling those things with hydrogen, then it
doesn't take Linus class future telling in order to figure out what's probably going
to happen at such time, alright, let's move on to our next topic here, what on earth is
Luke doing in the background of the WAN show instead of being here, well he's waving to
you for one thing, and he's also finishing up, hold on I'm going to move my chair out
of the way, I'm going to move myself out, who locks these chairs, who lets Taren sit
in these chairs, okay, I swear every time Taren sits in a chair, he adjusts the seat
so it's like a V, instead of like being flat on the bottom, and he locks the tilt, I hate
him, okay, well it wasn't him this time actually, but anyway that's what, get out of here, you're
not even in the frame which is perfect, wow, terrible, so anyway that's Luke, oh whoa whoa
what's that, is that zero gravity, not really but they call it that, perfect, sounds like
marketing, okay, so Luke's working on the surface studio video which will be up at some
point, I actually have no idea when, I haven't looked at the video tracker, I've been busy
trying to throw together all of my content for the lead up to CES, so as of next week,
pretty much the whole company is going to, actually not even pretty much the whole company,
so many people now, a big chunk of the company is going to be out of town at the consumer
electronics show, which I've been informed it is no longer called, it is called international
CES, okay, sure, I mean never mind that CES did at least at some point stand for consumer
electronics show, never mind that it is a consumer electronics show, international CES,
so that's where we'll be all next week, the plan is to churn out something to the tune
of 40 to 50 videos, sponsored by dbrand, and also some other companies, actually I don't
even know if the dbrand deal is inked yet, so now that I've said it, he's pretty much
stuck, right, anyway, sponsored by dbrand, we're going to be covering what's new in the
PC hardware space, as well as consumer electronics, maybe even some camera crap, assuming Brandon
can find some, we're going to put all that together for you, and you know, pump out all
those videos within a span of about 5 to 7 days, so stay tuned, it's going to be a glut
of information on all the hot new stuff that's going to be coming for about the first half
of 2017. Speaking of CES rumours, what is this glove that you're not going to be getting
any love if you wear? It's like an artist's glove, so when you're writing on the screen,
this part of your hand is gloved, so it like doesn't put your oils and whatnot from your
hand on the screen, and it glides smoothly. Oh. Ooooh. Fancy! Yeah, your falsetto is terrible,
and very alarming, or disturbing, what's the word I'm looking for? Unnerving? Uhh, golfing.
Alright, so, on the subject of CES, let's move into our next big topic here, HTC expected
to unveil HTC Vive 2 at CES 2017 says, report. And the baby's crying. Sorry, we're working
on it. So according to Taipei-based Central News Agency, the Vive 2 is expected to utilize
a wireless transmitter to connect with PC systems and to come with two 4K displays and
a monitor refresh rate of 120Hz instead of 90Hz. Meanwhile, HTC has also reduced the
price of Vive devices sold in China by 10%, and this is, apparently, to pave the way for
the launch of the Vive 2. So, I gotta jump in here for a minute, and actually I'm gonna
ask Luke to jump in here for a minute, because we did hear about a third-party accessory
available for the Vive, which, if you guys recall, is 1440p 90Hz. So let's go ahead
and do some basic calculator math here, okay? I'm gonna use calculator because every time
I try and do math in my head, live on the WAN Show, I screw it up and you guys all make
fun of me and it hurts my self-esteem very, very much. So calculator math, okay? 2560
times 1440, okay? Times... so that's 3.686 megapixels per frame, okay? Wait a second,
that doesn't... oh bloody hell, that doesn't tell me the data rate. Well, whatever. Times
90... so every second, 331 million megapixels. So you're gonna tell me that we're gonna take
that. 331 million, okay? Everyone remember, 331 million, because I can't, okay? So 3840
times 2160, okay? Times 120, okay. So you're gonna tell me with a straight face that what
was already, from my conversations with Luke, kind of a janky third-party wireless accessory,
what was already kind of janky, we are going to 3x the pixel count, which to be clear doesn't
necessarily mean a tripling of the needed bandwidth, but it will definitely be significantly
higher, very, very much higher. So you're gonna take that and you're gonna make wireless
part of the out-of-box experience. I really don't know how much stock to put in this rumor.
So that's what I'll say about that. I will be thrilled as all heck if they are actually
showing off the Vive 2, but given that we don't really have a contact at HTC or Valve,
we haven't gotten any kind of an early heads up, nor have we even got a meeting booked.
So if they do show it, I guess we will just have to door crash and figure out how to get
a video shot of it. All right. Actually, you know what? I have a very interesting straw
poll for you guys. Straw poll me! I only want to hear from owners or people who are close
enough to an owner of an Oculus Rift or an HTC Vive, okay? This is very important. This
is a very serious poll, okay? So owners of... I'm gonna call them premium VR headsets. How
long since you last used it? Okay, so I'm gonna put less than one week, less than one month,
and more than one month ago, okay? I wanna hear from you guys. I'm gonna answer the poll,
but I wanna hear some results from you guys first. Who is actually using their VR headsets
out there? So I'm gonna go ahead and hit this straw poll again here. And why are you here?
Because Twitch chat is incredibly upset that we haven't confirmed that apparently the news
is fake about the Vive 2. So even though you were saying that you think it's fake, don't
believe it, they're like, it's fake and you're stupid for believing it. So... But I didn't
say I believed it. Exactly. I said I don't believe it. I even did math, which is not
a strong point for me. You guys are great. Anyway, PC Gamer released something 27 minutes
ago that HTC said it was fake. So there you go. Oh, 27 minutes ago? Well what? Thanks
Twitch chat. Why isn't Colton on this, huh? Thanks Twitch chat. It only happened 27 minutes
ago. Dicks. I even used math. Alright. Let's go ahead and have a look. Let's go ahead and
have a look. Oh, oh, that's not looking pretty. Okay. So 20% of you, less than a month ago,
38% of you have actually used it in the last week. I spelled that wrong, but that's okay.
I don't actually believe that 600 of you have HTC Vibes or Oculus Rift, but that's a whole
other conversation. And more than a month ago, say 42% of you. So I'm actually going
to put my vote in here of less than one month. So it's been more than a week, but less than
a month for me. And I'm not counting actually having someone over a little while ago and
letting them use it because I actually didn't use it. Neither I nor my son, and we're the
only two people who use it, have used it in the last week and it's been almost a month
for both of us. So as much as I really like it, the gameplay experiences aren't that amazing
yet. Although Ed has told me that there are some pretty good games that I should try out
pretty soon. He had me play some one with him. I forget what it's called. It involves
magic or something and standing on platforms. Yeah, I forget. I don't care what it's called.
He kicked my ass so hard. Like it was embarrassing. I played once with them and in my defense,
I was having some issues. Like I had to play on the Rift, not the Vive, because I was using
like a pre-release copy that was part of our reviewers kit for the Rift. And anyway, my
cameras weren't really working properly and like half of my screen was like going black
a lot of the time, like every five to ten seconds. Like in my defense, it really wasn't
working correctly. But I would just like move to a platform and then he'd be launching like
all these spells and crap at me and then it would cover all my other platforms and I couldn't
move and then he would just kill me. And I was just like, this is dumb.
Okay, it's a cool game just because the scale of ability is so, because he's played a lot.
Yeah, so basically, basically the moral of the story is that Ed is one of those nerds
who sits and don't move that chair. Ed is one of those nerds that sits and practices
Mario Kart by himself so that when all of his friends come over, he can be like, oh,
I'm going to hide behind this weak justification that I wanted to unlock all the characters.
But actually, all he's done is create an environment where no one else can have any fun playing
with him because he's just, he's just, because he's just a hopeless nerd who sits and plays
by himself because for him, gaming is not a social experience.
It's a winning experience? Yeah, gaming is just a winning experience.
It's about humiliation. It's not about other people having fun. On your way back over there,
do you mind double checking the focus of the camera?
Linus, I have a question for you. That was how I cleverly lured him over here.
Thank you, Ed. Linus.
Yes, what can I do for you? Talk louder. The microphone is here.
Did you get thermals for the Razer Blade Pro late 2016 for the GPU and CPU temperatures
because they don't have a graph for it and John has no data. There.
Um. This has nothing to do with the WAN show. I'm
sorry. Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize.
Thermals. I don't know. Are they in the folder? John says he doesn't have it.
Where would, is there a place for it to go? Well, yeah, you say it in the script.
What do I say exactly? You say thermals of GPU and CPU. Perhaps.
And I don't have that information. Sorry, ladies and gentlemen.
So that's a great question and I have a really good answer for you that is that I will use
my Razer Blade late 2016, which I have right in front of me, and I will run a stress test
right now. Wow.
On the show. On the show.
That's right, folks. You are seeing live creation. Live benchmarking.
You're seeing live, on our live video, you are seeing us live create a video. Yes, my
friends, that is what is going on right now. This is how janky things get sometimes.
In this moment. Yeah, well.
I'm working on it. Thanks, John. While you do that, what's the next item on
the thing so I can talk about it with my talking words?
I have no idea why you think I would want you to cover the next topic.
Oh, well, because you're busy is why. But I'm not seeing it on here because I'm
so bad. Oh, I found, oh, yeah, I found the dog.
I think that's last week. You should check the date at the top of the page.
Because Luke hasn't been on the show yet. All right, Tesla predicts accidents and
gives a warning before it happens. I saw that video.
Look at this. It's really, really, really cool.
Really cool. So the original article here is from e-technics
and you should definitely watch the video. Here we go.
The new radar technology predicts an accident. Here we go.
It's 52 seconds long and hopefully I don't get a copyright strike for this.
Basically, you know, driving. Oh, wow. Okay, see, that's bad, that thing
that's going on there. Wow, hit the brakes. Love it. Beautiful.
Very unexpected thing. Honestly, I wouldn't even have a ton of faith
in an experienced human driver to respond that well and that quickly to that kind of
a hazard. Hang on, can you pull up the article again?
Because I don't know if that's a prediction. Because what I heard was it's actually bouncing
the radar underneath the car in front of you to see the car in front of that car.
And that's the one that it saw was hitting the brakes really hard.
And so it's like, oh, the car behind that car isn't going to be able to brake or it
will and then the third car is actually going to hit the thing.
So it didn't predict as much as be able to see a car that the human couldn't see.
Yes. Yes. So it's like predicting. Well, that's not predicting, that's reacting
very quickly. It's predicting that what the human would
have been able to see will change in some way that a human wouldn't have been able to
know. I think the word predicting here is a little
bit odd. I would use fast reaction or something. Anyway, very cool.
Predictive reaction. Whatever.
TM. TM, predictive reaction TM. Very cool.
Someone's going to end up using that. Some car maker is going to have predictive
reaction technology. The names they have for things.
The new RGB, right? The names they have for things.
Yeah. I know. I know. Well, I mean, we at last, what was it? CES? Like we saw like this
whole room full of like car self-driving stuff and it was like all these maps and stuff.
And yeah, that was ridiculous names for all these things. They had the sensor and they
had like rain flowing at it to show that it can see through rain. You know, crazy stuff.
All right. So basically this is new radar processing technology that was pushed as an
update in September under Tesla 8.0. Elon Musk explained the significance of the technology
when it was announced in a press statement. And this is a quote. In fact, an additional
level of sophistication. We are confident that we can use the radar to look beyond the
car in front of you by bouncing the signal off the road and around the car. We are able
to process that echo by using the unique signature of each radar pulse as well as the time of
flight of the photon to determine that what we are seeing is in fact an echo of the front
of the car. That's in front of you. Holy actual balls. How are you doing? Are you coming back
to the show? Okay. Bye. Bye everyone. It's not really coming back to the show if you
were never, never on it, but yeah. So how's the surface studio? Really mostly cool. Watch
the review. Like what I did there? Cause I left like a cliffhanger. That's not a cliffhanger.
I was just not answering a question. Fair. You should tell the, uh, the, the producers
of lost that that's how that works. That's how that works. That was me. I kicked a thing
and it's okay. Okay. Yep. Everything is fine. I was moving at the time so I thought it was
me. No, I should go get my toque. Just wait. We're going to publish our video on like the
redoing of the land show because there's actually a whole bunch of stuff. We're going to redo
it once. We're going to redo the computer. We're going to, um, sort of more formally
redo all the capture stuff. We're going to redo the audio. We're going to redo the automated
lighting and all that crap. And just watch the first show after we like announce all
these big improvements, five minutes in, I'm going to like kick a bucket onto the computer.
It's going to unplug all the cables in the middle. All the audio stuff is just going
to like slide off the back of the table and smash and break. Yes. One second. I want to
be your twin. Nothing can, uh, wait, what? Oh, okay. Sure. Yeah. The story behind the
toque is that it was made by a fan and it matches like the LTT colors. So I think it's
super cool and I've been wearing it this winter. Okay. So the original article here is from
PolitiFact. Jeff brands writes, I'm sorry. Jeff brands says, unlike California, we in
Florida welcome driverless cars. No permit. Oh, you walked past that and it, uh, blew
the thing. Wait, no. What is this? I walked around it. What is that? Oh, that's behind
you. Oh, I thought it was the, the dude that hangs on the thing. Oh, okay. Anyway. Um,
so basically here we go. Uber hit the road with self-driving cars in San Francisco in
December, but California regulators quickly hit the brakes. So in Florida, Senator Jeff
brand saw an opening. Hey Uber, unlike California, we in Florida welcome driverless cars, no
permit required. Hashtag open for business. And that was a tweet on December 22nd. So
that's interesting. That is either a very progressive stance or a very reckless one.
Yeah. Yeah. Because not all driverless car tech will be built equal. No. And I personally
think that some kind of government validation, there needs to be a car by car. What's the
one that does drugs? EPA? No, that's environmental protection. What am I thinking? FDA, FDA.
And the FDA is like massively overworked and they don't have enough time to look at everything.
And that's actually like a terrible situation and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But we need
like a version of that for driverless car tech. Some type of government oversight seems
like a good idea. Everyone's everyone's hating on me. Cause you said EPA? Yeah. They're like
IRS, DEA. Thank you everybody. Thank you. Government acronym. The GAP, government acronym
police. They're going to take care of me. Well, Twitch chat is the everything police.
Yeah. So except the Twitch chat police, they're fine to let that just go to hell in a hand
basket. Yeah. Um, speaking of going to hell in a hand basket, fresh books. If you feel
like your business is going to hell in a hand basket because you just don't have time to,
can I help you? Well, I was going to say, or if you like want to make your business
around hell in a hand basket and you want to like sell hand baskets for Halloween or
something for like gifts, say someone has a birthday on Halloween and you want to give
them a themed gift, maybe you could. So one out of every 365 people theoretically has
a birthday on Halloween, which means that, uh, doing some quick calculator math here,
7 billion. Okay. Divided by 365. That gives you a TAM. So a total addressable market of
19 million, 178,000 people. Yeah. So of which let's say, uh, one, one 20th of them or so
are in the United States and Canada. So divided by 20. Is that how that works? So that's a
million people. Okay. Okay. A million people in the U S and Canada approximately have a
birthday on October 31st and you could, let's say you sell your gift back. I'd say $19.99
$29.99. $20 bill. Yeah. It sounds good. Yeah. Okay. So let's say 20. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So
I am estimating that your market cap is a wow. $19 billion. I mean, viable business.
Yeah. Based on that math, uh, you should quit here today. Yeah. Helen hand basket.dot.com.
I shouldn't even have to fire you. Is that a, is that, is that domain taken? Hell in
a hat. I'm pretty sure that domain is taken. Let's see. And uh, is there a reason we turned
off all the lights that were eliminating us before? We sort of need those. Those are pretty,
those are pretty useful. Those lights. Um, so, uh, hell in a hand basket. Uh, sure. That's
a little better than, oh, it's taken nothing, which of course it's taken. I thought I'd
check. Okay. Hell in a hand basket.ca is not taken. So if I make just a Canadian company,
then it's only 10 bucks. You fought. We don't pay you to think. Oh, well it's because we
don't pay him. Not because he doesn't think well. Anyway, uh, fresh books. So fresh books
allows you to take your small business idea, good or terrible, and manage your accounting
in a more organized way so that the thing that holds back your business will be your

garage or doing small time PC repair or you know, running a plumbing company or a painting
company or whatever the case may be, fresh books gives you a ton of flexibility that
you otherwise wouldn't have. It allows you to take deposits through the platform and
allows you to log your hours, log your expenses. It allows you to send bills to customers,
professional invoices in seconds and allows you to see when they've gotten them. So there's
no more guessing games. Oh hey, have you paid that pillow? Hey, I didn't get it. Oh yeah.
Can you send it again? None of that. And they have their own payment system as well. So

Taryn from breaking your chair by the way. No, I'm trying to figure out why my base is
so much higher than yours. Cause it's a completely different chair. Ah, okay. Cool. It's a bigger
chair for bigger blokes. That makes sense. Yep. I liked my basket idea. What else are
we talking about? You liked your basket idea? I thought you were just completely joking.
No, yeah I was. Okay, good. I was joking about liking my basket idea. It's a horrible idea.
Doing themed holiday baskets in entirety could be a good idea. Doing like just hell-based
ones is a horrible idea. Don't do that. Hellbaskets.com. You might do okay around like the launch of
Diablo 4 whenever that happens and that's it. Other than that you're screwed. Yeah,
based on how often Blizzard launches a Diablo title, it's going to be a Feaster famine type
of business. You're doing pretty bad. Is hellbaskets.com taken? Hold on, wait for it. Why is it taking
so long? Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it! Come on! Oh my goodness. Wow, your search
is terrible. I believe in you GoDaddy, you can find it. Okay, I don't really believe
in you, but you can probably find it. Oh man. No, this is solid. There's a chance you can
find it. Yeah. You know what's really funny is I thought a little while ago we were looking
for domains for our online video streaming platform that we're sort of building now because
YOLO, rip vessel I guess. Oh, you have your vessel toque? Yeah. Nice! I couldn't find
my orange one, I think I took it home. You should have told me to bring one. I have mine
too. Oh really? Yeah, I posted a picture of it in the chat. I still have my vessel shirt
and my vessel toque because they're so much cooler now. I know, right? They're so much
cooler now. It's such a hipster way of thinking, but it is so true. It is. Anyway, what were
we talking about? Right, because we have to build a video streaming platform now. So we
were looking at domains and I thought GoDaddy was throttling us for like searching too many
too quickly, like I thought they thought we were a bot or something. No way! Oh my god.
Hell Baskets is available right now. HellBaskets.com, I'm buying it. I'm buying HellBaskets.com.
Why? Right now. Because it's amazing. Who would not want HellBaskets.com? I'm gonna
verify that he actually goes through with it because he obviously can't show the checkout
process because it would show all the things that are important. Oh, I am buying HellBaskets.com
so hard right now. Someone's gonna maybe try to snipe it before you. They can try and snipe,
but I am armed. He's on it right now. I am armed with, oh, oh no, my two factor! My two
factor's gonna slow it down! The slowest version of two factor you can possibly know. It's
gonna slow it down! Yeah, we can't talk about it, but our two factor is like dank AF. It's
secure. Yeah. It's defs secure. It's definitely that. But it's, oh bloody hell, I don't remember.
Can you help me? I think that's the wrong one, isn't it? Yeah, no, no, this is the right
one for that account. Okay. But it's the, do you remember it? I think so, oops, nope.
No, not that. It's just very laggy. Oh, there's still a character in. What did you do? Oh,
I don't even know what you did, but I am two factoring this biatch. Your two step code.
Two factor is such a pain in the patoot. A good, worth it, valuable pain in the patoot.
But it is still technically a pain in the patoot. While he's doing this, I'm gonna kill
time with some shameless self-promotion. We do have news topics. Oh yeah, do that, that's
fine. An end of the year charity stream thing. My Twitch stream has raised all together through
two main events and just through doing it throughout the entire year, about $16,200,
a little bit lower than that. It's like $16,168, I think. So we're doing a stream tonight starting
at whenever I'm home and ready because I never give a guaranteed time for WAN Show days.
And we're gonna shoot for $20,000. It is for Extra Life, which is a children's hospital
charity kind of thing. If you don't know what Extra Life is, check that out. You can go
to extralife.com slash Luke to see my team. I don't know how I got that URL, but I did.
So it's pretty awesome. But yeah, we're going for 20K tonight. I'm gonna be doing, I'm gonna
be doing a 24 hour stream and doing one game every two hours. I ended up deciding on 12
games instead of 24. And then we have, we're giving away like a huge amount of games. I
think Trey is coming up with like 150 games that he's giving away during the stream.
No, someone got it.
No way.
Someone took it. The basket contains domains that are unavailable. Those domains have been
removed. You bastard. Who got it? You bastard. I was buying hellbaskets.com. You're terrible.
Who got it? I want to know who got it. They're bad. They're a bad person who doesn't use
two factor apparently, or at least not the slowest two factor in the world. Someone named
bad karma claimed to have got it. Yeah, but it's Twitch chat. So like, yeah, that's a
good bad karma Twitch commenter could be someone post proof that you got it.
Yeah. I want to see proof or I don't buy it. I don't buy it. Hellbaskets.com tweet it to
me because the Twitch chat is going far too fast. You can tweet it to the official Linus
tech tips account. Anyway, what was the story? Right? I was, I was, I thought that they were
throttling, but maybe they're just slow. That was, that was the whole story. That was the
point of the story. And then I wanted hellbaskets.com and I couldn't even, I couldn't even manage
that today. What a crap day. Should we... I'm so amazed that someone got that. I'm kind
of sad because that's actually a really cool domain. I'm amazed that it wasn't taken. Hellbaskets.
Like it just... Well, it's a cool sounding domain, but it's like... I don't know what
the hell you'd put on there. Yeah. No clue. Nothing, but whatever. People are spamming
giazo links. Um, all right. Our next article is from... What's up? Yeah, there it is. There
it is. Who's it from? Who got it? I'm not sure because a whole bunch of people are posting
the link. Oh, great. Is there already something parked on there? Couldn't be. Couldn't be
up that fast. Redirects to the forum. No way. That was so fast. Hellbaskets.com. No, it
did for me. Did you put in www? No, just hellbaskets.com. Hellbaskets. Take the www. Yeah. Well, I thought
so, but... What? It works for me. I don't know, brah. Do we have your... See? See? See?
Hold on. Hold on. Do we have your screen share working right now? No, I can steal your cable
though. Yeah, steal my cable. Okay. Okay. Here. I mean, we can't talk about this unless
we're going to offer proof, right? Yeah. Here you go. Cable. I'm cabling you. Thank you.
All right. Well, I'm like... I'm still setting it up. Give me a second. You got this. You
got this, brah. Hellbaskets.com. Okay. Terrible. We might be ready. Okay. All right. Hit me.
Domain bar. Oh, I'm not signed in. Good. Domain bar. Hellbaskets.com. You can see that? Yeah.
Do it. Enter. Loads the forum. No. Go to another tab. Enter. Loads the forum. I'm telling you,
man, he directed that fast. Like, really fast. Wow. That was legendary. All right. So there
you have it. Props to you. Yeah, for spending $20 on a very strange domain that now redirects
to our forum. Oh, I love that. Oh, okay. That's so good. We have a very funny community sometimes.
Yeah. It's like the kind of stuff that they think is funny. It's like, I'm going to buy
a domain. Joke's on you. It's going to drive extra traffic to you. Oh, man. I love you
guys. Okay. That was epic. Speaking of love, AMD. Oh, my. There may be something to love
about AMD Ryzen. Is it Ryzen or Risen? Ryzen. They say Ryzen in their presentation, so I'm
going to Ryzen. Okay. Ryzen. Video. This is from digitaltrends.com. Oh, wait. What? Oh.
It shows kind of a code name when you look at it in the benchmark. It says AMD2D3151A2M88E.
That's not here anywhere. If it's performing that well, then whatever. No worries. Apparently,
it has 168.7% performance of the provided Core i5. 6600K. Ah. So that would put it like
well above a 6700K. Apparently, only the 6900K is shown outperforming the Ryzen chip. So
the 6900K is an 8-core? No, 6-core. Can't remember. I think it's 8. I'm just terrible
at all this stuff. I'm pretty sure it's an 8-core. Yeah. It's an 8-core, right? Yeah.
I think so. I'm rather certain that it's 8-core. Yeah. 8-core. Okay, good. I was right the
first time. So that's a 3.2 to 3.7 boost with a max boost of 4 gigahertz, 140-watt TDP 8-core
from Intel that AMD Ryzen is not able to beat. Mind you, that's a $1,000 chip. So if AMD
were to come in even at like $599, which would get them a pretty good return on their investment
in the silicon, we could be looking at an actual race for the first time in a very long
time. A big TDP benefit too, which is not something
that AMD usually gets over Intel. Well, see, I hate it when people do this. I hate generalizations.
You can't say AMD usually, because you have to evaluate product by product, because there
have been times in the past when AMD's thermal performance...
Yeah, but if it's more often, then usually it does apply properly.
Okay, but that's more like historically than usually.
I think they both work. So historically, AMD has not been known for
their superior performance per watt versus Intel.
Yeah. Okay, but... Okay, so how do I explain usually
versus historically? I'm sure Twitch chat doesn't care, but you know what? Okay, fine,
fine. The point is generalizations are bad. You have to look at every product as an individual
product in the tech space, because it is not as simple as like, Nvidia cards run hot, AMD
drivers are bad, Intel chips are overpriced. But I didn't say that.
I know. But this is a word of warning to everybody. These kinds of generalizations are what lead
to fanboyism, because at some point in history, every single one of those statements I've
made... Has been reversed.
Has been true or has been not true. Every single one of them.
I did put a lot of care onto the word usually. One other thing. Do we look better today?
Is that a new lens? No, it's just the lighting is borked. Do you
notice there's no light in front of us? But we look better depth of field than we
normally do, do we not? You look sharper.
I think it's just the fact that there's lighting in the background. So it comes off the back
of our heads like this. Maybe.
It's like the... Yeah, no, the lighting is broken. Anyway, so the power consumption tests
show this chip pulling 93 watts. And AMD claimed a 95 watt TDP at their launch event, which
would be very competitive with the 140 watt rated TDP of Intel's chip.
With that said, Intel's TDPs are a big load of bollocks, because all they do is say, okay,
well, this is a thermal design envelope that is the maximum for this entire range of CPUs
that go all the way from like six cores to 10. And they're all 140 watt, don't worry
about it.
So we'll see thermals and power when we test it in house.
Yeah. Again, you have to evaluate chip by chip in those cases, not just read off of
Intel spec sheet, because everything from the 6800K to the 6950X has 140 watt TDP.
But it's still exciting.
And this is really, really exciting. And so this was actually leaked by a Reddit user
from a French hardware magazine, meaning that maybe it's not just AMD numbers, maybe these
are third party numbers that are actually being run and maybe there's something to this.
Which hopefully, and it says it in here, but hopefully it was actually true, the power
consumption tests showed the chip itself only pulling 93 watts, which is not that bad.
Speaking of not that bad, if you believe that fake news is a problem, which I would hope
that most people would agree on that it's a problem, even if we can't necessarily agree
on what the correct solution is, because I can see a lot of people going, well, who's
the fake news police?
Who decides news is fake? What's the difference between fake and satire?
That one's confusing because like what happens to the onion?
Can an opinion be false? Like, you know, if all of a sudden you just have to start going,
you know, let's put together an opinion based, you know, news story. In my opinion, you know,
Bernie Sanders slept with a donkey. It's like, is that news? If it's an opinion, would that
be allowed to be posted as news? What if it was on a news site?
I don't think that's how you'd be able to say it.
But the point is like, there's a very, we can all agree that the lines in the sand are
not very clear.
Is believing something and having an opinion something different? Because I think you'd
have to say, I believe that he did not. I have, in my opinion, he did.
I think, I think there are sort of two sides of this very similar coin. So, so in much
the same way that you would say allegedly if a source hasn't been confirmed. Yeah. So
if everything was allegedly, you know, allegedly this happened and it's allegedly.com. Yeah.
Who'd you hear it from? Like my neighbors, the fastest, my neighbor who says whatever
I tell them to say, allegedly, um, anyway. Okay. So we can't, it's not simple how to
get rid of fake news, but I hope we can all agree that non-factual news designed to mislead
people is a problem that should be addressed. So Germany's solution is apparently they're
considering this just to find the trash out of them is to find Facebook half a million
dollars per fake news item per day that they do not pull it down from the site per day.
That's awesome. That's a lot of money. Yeah. It's like, doesn't make sense. Facebook can
afford it. Um, yes, I, yes. Soon. Um, yeah. So I like this. Do we have any more, any more
details about this? So the German government will consider the bill next year and it would
allow both official and private complainants to flag content that is considered fake news.
That's going to be a disaster. The law would also force social networks to create in country
offices focused on responding to take down demands. Wow. Lawmakers believe they believe
in their opinion. Uh, this bill will help tackle the possibility of Russia meddling
in parliamentary elections scheduled for next year. This follows allegations that the Kremlin
was behind the hacking of the democratic national committee that led to the leak of thousands
of emails by key aides to Hillary Clinton. Fascinating. I guess moving on. Yeah, I guess
so. Thermal take made an RGB power supply. What is this new? I don't actually think so,
but I don't really care. It's adorable. There you go. There's the article. Not new at all
on a, like maybe this particular power supply is new, but like it's fully modular, low ripple
noise, smart zero fan, 100% Japanese capacitors and a 10 year warranty power supplies with
10 year warranties, man. Like, can you imagine using a power supply today that you bought
in 2006? Yeah, totally. I do. You do? Yeah. 2006. That was a long time ago, dude. I think
it was about 2006. Yeah, it's still running. Yeah. You know the mineral rig? I still use
all those components. Emma played Stardew Valley on them literally last night. That's
about 2006. Yeah, that's like an HX 520 or something like that if I recall correctly.
Still works. I don't know if I would use all of them for that long, but that power supply
seems to have been rather stable. Yeah, that's the HX. It was a good power supply. Yeah.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't. Yeah, there's a lot of power supplies to be clear that I wouldn't
use that for that long. All right. The original article here is on the verge and it's exciting.
It's Antec 1000 watt HX? No. Wait, what? No, Antec. What is it? HP? High current pro? HCP?
Yeah. That one, the 1200 watt is still working in my system. I thought it died. It was something
else. That's not as old. That's like five years old. Whereas your HX is like almost
10 years old. Twitter wants to make tweets editable, but it's complicated. Why? Why is
it complicated? Let's find out why it's complicated. So CEO Jack Dorsey is polling Twitter users
on what features they'd like to see from the company in 2017. He believes a form of edit
is needed, but not for everyone. Honestly, here's one objection. So, so strong argument for
allowing tweets to be edited. I can go against as well. I can, I can fix the sever typo in
my tweet last night. Yeah. Where I referred to our server as a sever, which it is not.
Yeah. I do that kind of stuff all the time. The counter argument is that you can say something,
sort of a whole bunch of crap with people responding to you and then just change it
and be like, ha ha. But like, I think the internet has figured that out at this point.
Have they? Have they really? Cause right now, just show edit history. Well, right now Twitter
serves, Oh, okay. So showing edit history, but if they show edit history, like what other
platform works like that? Like our forum doesn't show an edit history. You can see that it
was edited to moderate moderators. Yes. You can see that it is edited and you cannot remove
the flag that it was edited. So like, I think that would just like, if people start freaking
out, people can just point out like, yeah, it was edited. So whatever. And then just,
if you're tweeting something super important, don't edit it, post it. And then if it's that
terrible, delete it and repost it again, because we have to do right now. Fair enough. Okay.
That makes sense. So basically there's a series of tweets. So there's one asking whether to
fix edits quick or edit any time. Cause that's something that you could do. You could allow
it to be edited in the first five minutes. Yeah. That would fix the vast majority of
my problems that I have. Me too. Apparently there's a big difference in the implementation
because allowing to edit any time requires change log as we're often the public record.
So that's a very good point. And that Twitter is often like, you look at all the fact checking
that was done during the during the U S election, for example, where a candidate might say something
like I never said this. And then it was as simple as going back and going, well, your
Twitter account, which you haven't said was hacked at any point in time says a completely
different thing. So, and with how big your Twitter account and following is and all that
kind of stuff, I'm pretty sure you'd respond real fast if it got hacked. Yeah. So, yeah.
Not that that seemed to matter to most people. Nope. Okay. Oh, wow. That's really boring
news. And that's really boring news. We're going to CES and we're going to CES. Yeah.
And I got some videos to shoot before I go to CES. One of them is going to be exciting
dongle Roundup. So many dongles, which dongle is the best dongle whose dongle reigns supreme.
Can I dongle you later? Sure. Anytime. Only if it's the best dongle. Intro. Do we still
not have audio? No, we don't have audio. Why don't we have audio? Can't we just solve it
pretty easy? Sort of. Yes. It's complicated. It's like Twitter. It's complicated. Come
check out my charity stream and not wait too long. Fresh books. Fresh books. Are we set
up to do Wancho like remotely? Do we have all the files and stuff? We should probably
do that at some point. We probably should.
