 Peter was researching something the other day and one of our one of our videos that was Me on tech wiki like teaching something was in the thread That's of like the person teaching something to Peter, and I was like this is nuts Ready yeah Hey welcome to the WAN show guys. We've got a great show for you today. I hope yeah I actually haven't seen this guy in like a month three weeks something like that. Yeah, he's been like cavorting about in Asia Yeah, perfectly innocent though. No weird kinds of tourism It was Taiwan not yeah, not not Thailand Taiwan Anyways, let's roll the intro. Oh boy Oh boy This is not going to be a good show We are off to a real rough start here Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's okay because it's not about how you start. It's about the big finish Would you believe I'm trying to hire a new writing staff? Would you believe that? Is like part of the process like how many dick jokes you can come up with oh and during the interview no no definitely not There's there are bonus points for saying that they think I'm funny though only one person did it today So you know I want to commend that one individual on their honesty Oh, yeah, yeah, I want to commend them on their honesty because everyone else They're like closet thinking I'm funny because I know everyone thinks I'm funny of course Yeah, not so much all right fine fair. That's fine. Yeah, no I'm actually finally finishing up the Writer search that I started four months ago or something like that I've been traveling so much that I just have not had time to do it properly And I would rather just have it take too long and go through everyone fairly versus you know trying to spread it out over You know many weeks and then like the people that I evaluated at the beginning Maybe I'm not using the same standards as the one at the end like I wanted to be able to sit down and like do it in big chunks And so we've started our interviews We're not quite done interviews yet But we're looking to make a decision pretty soon so we're gonna be increasing the writing side writing team size here by like 40 percent 60 percent how many people you hire math is not a strong point two to three oh wow I thought this was one position no Holy cow yeah two to three are you that I've are you expanding channels? Because that's a lot of writers to add on So we haven't talked about anything yet okay, but actually so you don't attend Linus Media Group Monday morning meetings anymore because you're not an employee of Linus I still get the emails and I poke through them sometimes just to make sure like the power isn't gonna go out or something So you know I gay I actually gave like a big a big speech on Monday, so I was I was talking about All right, should we talk about some of the topics we're gonna have today, or should I just get rid of you know? I'll get right into this we'll talk about topics in a minute. Yeah I was pretty on point so I was talking about some of the changes that have been taking place on YouTube lately and how they've affected our channels Yeah, you know YouTube won't admit anything I've had I've had correspondence with them not just with my partner manager Who is quite a senior member of the team and who I I believe when he tells me you know nothing changes or nothing has changed Or that it's machine learning and nothing discreet was changed, but that doesn't mean anything It isn't always learning and always changing and I've even gone higher up the food chain than that And everyone insists we didn't change anything we tweaked no dials But I just I have a hard time I have a hard time buying it because we know from the other things that YouTube says Like I went to Brandcast and YouTube's talking about You know Raising authoritative voices when it comes to trying to make sure that there are platform that promotes credible information But can you raise an authoritative voice without suppressing? Yeah Another one you're saying yes, you can no I'm agreeing with I see yeah, because no you can't yeah You can't elevate something without pushing something else down. That's just the way it works Especially when sorry to jump in here for a second, but YouTube kind of at this point like has the population Like they don't really have a ton of expanding more to do other than people getting internet or people getting to the age Where they can watch their own YouTube fun facts. They're no longer going to report on unique Unique visitor increases anymore interesting. You know why because they're already over 2 billion Yeah, so like who you go for nothing that they can do can sound impressive and sound like growth to their shareholders anymore So they're just like this is have everyone we're doing great. We're just like we can't talk about it anymore though Because like a point one percent improvement in fairness to us It's still 20 million more people, but it's like doesn't not impressable. Yeah, right Yeah, so like if you're if you're taking this platform that like yes, it's expanding don't get me wrong here I understand that but if you're taking this platform that has like this kind of set amount of users if you're I Understand it's not how it works. Just hold on If you start pumping someone you have to reduce push for other people There's only so many eyeballs and you know there's been problems on YouTube I understand there's more eyeballs all the time that have been identified Like the black hole thing with conspiracy theories or you have flat earth or fake moon landing or anti-vaxxing or whatever else You know, there's there's things that are relatively low-hanging fruit that Hold on a second one moment, please Technical difficulties Technical difficulties brr brr brr brr brr I'm just checking to see if okay cool So in February YouTube demonetized anti-vaxx channels Facebook YouTube to suppress anti-vaxxer content This was from PC mag in March 7th good. So there's other sources so I don't have to be the source for this So YouTube is suppressing anti-vaxx content Now so there's no so there's certain things that I completely agree with because that's incredibly dangerous Anti-vaxx content not suppressing it because anti-vaxx content is super stupid So there's things that I agree with but there's also potential collateral damage So one of the problems that was identified on social media in general Not just on YouTube is that once you watch like if you go, okay for lulls You know you want you show a friend some stupid Tai Lopez video because you're like That guy, you know the guy with the knowledge, you know remember that guy and they're like no no, I'm like this guy All of a sudden you're you're recommended your ads It's just full of all those bloody get rich quick YouTube gurus Yeah, and it's so obnoxious. Okay So there's this problem that's been identified in online on social media in general with echo chambers and with One search for a given topic all of a sudden just might slightly be interested in this Yeah, or not just interested even just curious and all of a sudden It's it's put in front of your face and when you're when you're not as media savvy You might just see something on Facebook and go. Oh, it's credible. It's printed in black and white like it's It's the craziest thing in the world, but that same Just because something is printed in the in black and white doesn't mean that it's true that same education. That's been Trying that people have been trying to give to people since 18 hundreds is still a big deal today and so so what happens is you end up in this in this kind of this death spiral of fake moon landing flat earth whatever just from watching one stupid video and a lot of the people that perpetuate these conspiracy theories Speak in a way that may not sound authoritative to you the educated viewer but to other people Apparently does so anyway one of the well it might sound it might not sound believable But they're trying to be authoritative almost always so like that makes sense that it might sound that way Exactly intent so so one of the theories we had was that in order to prevent You know these kinds of echo chambery things from happening YouTube might have been de-emphasizing more niche content and then pumping stuff that's safer Now that was the theory and we were kind of like a well we're tech. We're kind of niche We're also a niche within tech like quite frankly a lot of the content that we upload would have absolutely No place on A more mainstream tech content channel like like Marquez's like come on It wouldn't make sense for him to do his audience wouldn't like it And it it makes sense that it goes up on our channel gets fewer views etc etc etc So we were looking at it going okay. Well, maybe part of this is we're just more niche And so people because we noticed the biggest dip in viewership was on our back catalog Yeah, maybe what's happening is instead of people watching one of our new videos and then getting bombarded with our massive back catalog Of four thousand videos something that had a huge benefit for us and generated a lot of subscribers Maybe instead of that well they're being fed some Marquez and some Austin and some gamers nexus and whatever else And to be clear we love all those guys and that's cool fine whatever But it definitely did have an impact on our viewership over the course of this year So from there I actually had some really great conversations at the YouTuber YouTube Creator Summit And Derek from Veritasium posted a great video did you watch that by the way? Yeah, I did. Posted a great video on his theory about why his shade ball video went viral And basically his theory it's funny because I in some ways I give YouTube like so much credit Like the like the puppet masters or have all these different strings are pulling on his theory was so simple That I forget whose razor it is where the simplest solution is is that Occam's razor? I think so Anyway, yeah the simplest solution is usually the correct one his theory was as simple as YouTube has taken the The click through ratio that you get with your with the clickiness of your title and thumbnail And it has shifted the axis so that a smaller difference in click through ratio gives it a greater proportion More promotion on the site and then a small difference the other way gives you way less So instead of it being kind of linear if your click through ratio is great you're like way up here And if your click through ratio sucks you're like way down here So that was another interesting theory because we have also had our click through ratio decrease this year As we've moved away from more click baity titles and click baity thumbnails which sucks But it's something that we've committed to our audience that we're going to do It just means that we'd really appreciate if you guys clicked the bell and then watched the video right away That actually makes a huge difference even if you're not going to actually watch it right now If you drop what you're doing start the video put your phone back in your pocket I don't care but if you just click and just go about the rest of your day go watch it later doesn't matter That initial click through ratio basically determines everything about how that video is going to perform As far as we can tell that's Derek's theory and it's so simple it might just be right So anyway LTT has actually struggled in terms of viewership this year It's back up in the last 4-6 weeks or so and we are tracking a really good direction right now But coming back to our all hands meeting this Monday This was a very very long story wow we're 12 minutes in I'm engaged right now Coming back to our all hands meeting this Monday I actually did stand up in front of everyone You know when I stand up during the Monday morning meeting I was usually It's a little serious Good news everyone I basically went look this is something that I've really struggled with not just professionally but also personally Trying to figure out what am I doing what am I doing wrong what can I do to fix it Does the audience just plain not like me anymore Is PC hardware losing its sex appeal I was trying to identify what it was because unless I know what the problem is I cannot fix it And what I ultimately came to was that there was a combination of audience sentiment things that did need to be addressed You know talking to the audience directly about things like doing less offensive thumbnails and titles that kind of thing You know making sure we're appending the brand and the product wherever that makes sense things like that I thought that was part of it I also thought that some kind of change Whether a manual change or an algorithmic change on YouTube side was part of the problem And then the bigger conclusion that I came to is that maybe if we build our business correctly it just doesn't matter Because where LTT has struggled this year TechLinked has actually picked up nearly all of the lost watch time Nearly all of the lost viewership and lost revenue And I kind of went TechLinked was an accident After the failure of Channel SuperFun and a bit of a stagnation period that we went through with TechQuickie To be clear TechQuickie is going really well right now so massive shout out to John Dennis Yay So after kind of a stagnation period for TechQuickie I was full like triple down mode on LTT I was like okay we just throw all the LTT has literally ten times as much staff as any other channel even now But what I realized is if I can't ultimately control it well something that I can control is this diversification strategy So TechLink happened by accident Homeboy Riley lost his job because his company went out of business And I was like yo dog I've been trying to hire you forever you twit Get out of the dumpster Get out of the dumpster Come on Get on over here And Riley he's driven to do the tech news I think we all know this He's driven to do the tech news for the people So we created TechLinked And TechLinked was an accidental complete success That channel is freaking awesome I get my tech news from TechLinked Like it's awesome You get your tech news from TechLinked? Nice I genuinely watch it all the time It's great And clearly a lot of people do TechLinked regularly gets half a million views a video even though it only has like 700, 800,000 subscribers Like it's outstanding It's such a great show Anyway so I was looking at it going well maybe we're just thinking about this too narrowly Maybe the answer here is to broaden the net instead Because that way every time TechLinked struggles a little bit and needs a fresh coat of lipstick Or every time LTT loses its groove or every time TechQuickie runs out of things people need explained as if that will ever happen Something else can carry some of that weight and we can spread things out The other really cool thing about TechLinked is that it doesn't rely on me At the beginning of TechLinked I was far and away the top performing host on that channel in terms of the views that each video would get Like of the top 10 I was all but one of them and then of the bottom 10 I wasn't in any of them Like I was clearly my face was driving more clicks Really interesting fact over the last couple of months I've actually been on the bottom half Which I think is great That is Because it means that Riley and James, we've had Dennis host, we've had Alex host, we've had Yvonne host It means that people are connecting with the team and with the brand Not just Linus Sebastian the person who quite honestly can't do everything forever And so basically I had this sort of magic moment where I went okay LTT is starting to recover which is good If we can hire Dodge the bullet there But also maybe it's not the future Maybe it's just one part of the future and we can bring people more types of tech content Bring them happiness in other tech ways And that's been one of the great things about the channels that you guys have expanded is like if you liked Linus Tech Tips And you don't want an education channel or a news channel or a channel of us playing with weird toys and being very cringy You could just keep watching Linus Tech Tips It didn't matter and Linus Tech Tips will as far as I can tell carry on just as well as it has and other channels will keep carrying on And you're maybe expanding, what are you expanding to? Are you saying at this point? I don't know So it was really interesting because normally when you enter the hiring process you might go in and say I really want someone with JavaScript experience or whatever You set out what your job requirements are Yeah Well I am just looking at all my applicants and I'm figuring out What can I do with this person? Best applicants are and then I will create programming It's actually there's some little bit larger companies than Flowplain that do this in a lot of different spaces You try to find people that are extremely talented and passionate and you go like Welp, I'll make you super valuable, let's go It's actually if you can manage it it's a very apparently cool way to do things So not necessarily just the new people but there's people who are already here that the new people could come and alleviate some of their workload And maybe they could pursue a passion project James and Riley have been really into Talk Linked Do you know Talk Linked? Yep Okay, totally different from Tech Linked because it's just one topic instead of many topics and it's long instead of short And honestly the first episode, kind of rough, the second episode a lot better And I happened to eavesdrop on sort of a debrief conversation and they had identified basically everything that they needed to fix And they're like they're iterating and they're going through that creative process and I'm looking at it going like wow, this is great This is me witnessing the machine working But they don't have time Right So James has produced I think four LTTs in the last two weeks because Jake's been on vacation Anthony's been tied up preparing some of our really cool booths that we're going to have for LTX He's got 10 years of PC gaming, he has 10 gaming rigs to configure, build and benchmark and set up demos on So he's been super busy Alex has been tied up, he's actually putting together our like makerspace next door right now So James, we've been leaning on him really heavily but that means he hasn't had a ton of time for Talk Linked So we could bring these new people in, they could lift some of that load and then we can kind of spread things out We can figure out what makes sense Make each person a little bit more agile As long as we keep a really great team dynamic here and as long as we stay passionate about tech Whether it's news, news is important Riley, whether it's news or whether it's something else Yeah, I guess yeah, we're gonna do more stuff though, you know I'm not done yet Cool You know I was thinking about it, not thinking about actually quitting but thinking about phasing myself out You've been sort of talking about it for a while Yeah, I was really thinking about it, I mean you and I chatted about it back at CES I think And I've just been kind of considering whether I'm done And when the channel's not performing well, because at the end of the day it's not up to me It's not up to you, it's not up to the rest of my staff, like you know everyone here could go Oh no Linus, you know we really want you to keep being the face of the company and the face of the channel And I'd go well yeah that's great but if the audience doesn't want it then like it's a nice sentiment But it actually doesn't matter at all You could pivot to, hear me out, you could pivot to like vlogs of you doing Hey hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on I'm not saying daily vlogs or anything What am I going to be a family vlogger now? No, that actually isn't where I was going to go with it Hold on, hold on You really enjoyed your like RC car hacking electronic stuff Yeah The guns going a little bit further away Just like you experimenting with technologies in ways that you actually want to And just like fumbling around and trying different things instead of trying to go with this like hyper entertainment or hyper news or whatever I know but having a little bit even more freeform and being like off the line of Sectives channel So it could be like pretty separated if you wanted to Here's one problem with that At 4,000 videos in, I've run most of the experiments that I was kind of like wondering about when I was in high school I have so much more resources now than I used to You know, one of the things I really struggle with right now is just having too much resources Like people got mad when I upgraded my gaming rig So there's a couple problems One is that people don't think critically sometimes So they were like, why are you calling a Titan graphics card slow? So the thing is, depending on what generation of Titan is, it could be really slow by today's standards It is It could be literally the fastest card on the market all the way down to slower than literally anything that Nvidia currently sells And then you've got people that are frustrated because for me, upgrading my personal rig is as simple as showing up at Nvidia for a sponsored project of all things And saying that I've been finally finding time to play games lately But Anno1800 is chugging on my system and then just being like, what? I'll put a graphics card in the mail People get mad about that And I get it But the flip side of it is the alternative, I guess, is for me to just not tell you Because you could be an influencer one-twentieth my size And I use the term influencer as like the I-word So let's say an online content creator literally one-twentieth my size And getting something like a graphics card sent to you is easy I mean, even when we started Linus Tech Tips, we had 200,000 subscribers And one of the first videos that Luke worked on when we went indie was our review of the first GTX Titan It's not like this is new So if you're going to get mad at me about it, you're well within your rights But just understand that anyone else out there who is not telling you that they got sampled a card for doing a project or whatever the case may be Is probably just not telling you There are exceptions, but we believe in transparency if nothing else Also, it's not for my personal rig It's for a video There you have it So there's your full disclosure Hey guys, I'm working on my personal rig This video was sent or this video card was sent over by Nvidia This motherboard was sent over by Gigabyte That's it We are fulfilling our obligation And so if you want me to just say, hey, I'm working on my personal rig Here's the parts I'm using I could do that, but I just don't I don't think that's good enough And not just I don't think that's good enough The FCC doesn't think that's good enough So I mean, they don't have any jurisdiction here at all But it's a good idea to I could just not But for my part, I would rather take a little bit of negativity and just deal with it And there's people that are going to be resentful, but I guess my response to them would be You know, where's your channel? Where's your investment in building something so that people want you to show their products on it? Like, I'm not saying that anyone can be a YouTuber I'm just saying that you literally won't know unless you're really trying to do it Give it a shot And then should people be Should people resent you if someone sends you a graphics card? I don't know Have you heard Taylor Swift's new song? I haven't Oh boy Do I sound like her? Please don't tell me I sound like her No, actually, no, no, no, no I'm playing No, no, no, no Stop it That actually ties in really well to what I would say right there Is the title of the song is You Need to Calm Down You're being too And then a part of the lyrics is like You need to calm down, you're being too loud And the whole thing is just like leave it alone And this is I think one of those kind of situations where like he's telling you I have seen a lot of creators do a lot worse things Where they hide it or there's something going on in the background And they're not communicating that stuff Him saying like hey, they sent me this card It doesn't mean go buy this card, it's the best one No, and I didn't say that No I have never recommended a Titan to anyone No Nvidia knows that, they still sent it Yeah It means hey, I got this card, I might as well use it It's gonna fulfill all the things I really care about Sweet It's literally the fastest card so Cool, put it in I don't know, and people are all over the map Because on the one hand you've got people mad that I'm putting in an RTX Titan And then on the other hand you've got people mad that like What kind of tech influencer are you? You're not even running SLI Yeah, yeah, you've got too many people in your audience at a certain point You can't please everyone Yeah, exactly This shirt is kind of pleasing though We should probably do add spots Oh right, and surely you mean sponsor spots Oh right, oh Because our sponsor integrations and placements Yes Surely do not compete with YouTube's ad formats Yep We should do a WAN show on that at some point Why we have to call everything sponsor That would be awesome Just kind of some inside baseball for you ladies and gentlemen Yeah Ridge wallet Yeah Where's the ridge wallet? They didn't give us a ridge wallet to talk about They might have been hoping mine would be here Oh shoot But honestly Did we screw up? Straight up Hey Jake Jake daily drives one Is Brandon getting one? Hey Brandon saves the day Thanks Brandon So the reason why I don't have mine on me is because I was traveling You didn't lose it, did you? And I lose my stuff way too often and I didn't want to lose it Oh alright That is why I actually believe see This is why he said that Because it's happened multiple times I believe you He lost the first phone that he ever earned as an influencer And I'm going to use the word earned because you don't become an influencer by accident He left it on a plane Was it LG G3? G3 G3 That still haunts me to this day You dork Stop carrying pointless items around in your pockets Like receipts, old hotel room keys or spent gift cards The Ridge Wallet is designed to help you carry less It uses two metal plates that are bound by a strong elastic band Keeping all your cards tightly together but still easily accessible It's RFID blocking and it's lifetime guaranteed Comes in different types of metal like aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber Which is not a type of metal but chill And you can use offer code LTT to save 10% on a Ridge Wallet at RidgeWallet.com slash LTT Oh you want to hit me with a carbon fiber Woo!

Metal tech signs in your computer room Or where you have your computer Perfect That's cool Yeah This one made me like a tiny bit sad Cause you're not on it Yep I checked Yeah I was curious Alright, back to the show ladies and gentlemen Why don't we talk about Do a tech topic? Yeah, why don't we talk about the 64 core thread ripper Yes So this is a rumor right now, rumor status This is supposed to by Clueless Gamer on the forum It's definitely a rumor, WCCF tech They claim AMD is working on a 64 core 128 thread thread ripper part for launch in Q4 of 2019 Now this was something that was very recently rumored to be going away altogether Thread ripper was like on AMD's roadmap And then it was like And then kind of off Not on it And then now there's a rumor that we're still going to have it I'm going to say something unpopular Oh I don't think this skew makes any sense I think AMD has such a strong end I am, take everything I'm saying as a rumor And the reason for that is that we haven't actually seen third gen Ryzen performance yet Yeah So I am Oh we're coming back to this I am assuming based on AMD's numbers that they have provided that they are not lying And that third gen Ryzer kicks ass Ryzer Did I say Ryzer? Ryzer Ryzen, sorry Alright, so I am assuming that they are not bull crapping around I kind of like Ryzer Someone should make a Ryzer product line Alright, enough Sorry Here, just twist a little Go ahead Take it Oh, thanks Yeah Looked like a nipple pinch Anyway Maybe it was So I'm going based on that third gen Ryzen is going to be awesome So here's my counter to Threadripper pitch You already have 32 core Threadripper Okay, that already exists On the Ryzen third gen mainstream platform You are already going to have a 16 core 32 thread chip I would postulate that for the vast majority of workloads That is already more than enough I realize I'm changing my tune a lot Because back when Intel was determined to keep quad core the maximum for mainstream forever I was like Yo, where's my cores? For mainstream I absolutely think so For some scenarios where you're trying to build out serverless clouds and stuff By Epic Yeah It feels completely unnecessary Because Ryzen, whatever it is, 30 something, 90 something What's the future of their Epic? What's the future of the Epic processors? No, Epic is going to be on their So Zen 2 Epic is going to be called Brom It's coming very soon So I could still see them doing Threadripper as a 20, 24, 32 lineup or something like that But that's three SKUs It's hard to say if it's worth maintaining a completely separate socket and chip set platform for it Because it's already so niche The only reason I could think of to do it would be to just put the screws to Intel But even then it's totally unnecessary I think they already kind of have Intel isn't going to have anything to compete with even a 32 core Threadripper within the next 18 months as far as I can tell So this is just when do we get to the point where we're honestly just giving up too much of our single threaded clock speed for the sake of having more cores And if we really need 64 cores, why aren't we just getting an Epic? There is very, very little that I can think of Even for a workstation workload that needs 64 CPU cores I hadn't heard the Roam You call that Roam? Like R-O-M-E? Yeah I hadn't heard the Roam news, so it sort of made sense to me Is there specs out for what Roam will be? Up to 64 cores So basically they're just repurposing Roam as a workstation product Which, I mean I guess if you're building the damn thing anyway Maybe if it's easy Doesn't make it The thing about Threadripper though is it's overclockable I don't know that I would recommend overclocking a 64 core processor So it just feels like the product without a customer Because you're either a little bit lower than it probably Or a little bit higher than it probably It's fairly unlikely you'll be right on So if I'm AMD and there's any truth to It would be fun The rumors here, yeah So, okay, if this isn't about building a practical product And you don't actually care if anybody buys it Here's what's going to happen Based on what we know What we're taking AMD's word for So far with 3rd gen Ryzen It should have excellent performance per watt The sustained clock speeds that it can hit Should be pretty decent even with high core counts And its IPC improvements over last gen Zen Are looking pretty good So with all of that in mind Intel's highest end And like Full desperation move that W series 28 core Zen That the overclockable one That you can put on There's like 3 motherboards that exist for it or whatever So Intel's best possible response Without bringing back like skull trail dual socket overclockable systems Is 28 cores So what we know then Is that if AMD goes 32 core Which is what they currently have And what they could easily and comfortably do with a next gen threadripper They will probably beat that processor by a little So when you're looking at the like review The halo product versus the halo product AMD might be on top But like By a bit And it might depend on if it's like an AVX 512 enabled workload or whatever If AMD releases a 64 core processor They know that for the first time ever No, no They beat Intel to dual core So for the first time in over 10 years They know that they will not just beat Intel at the top of the benchmark leaderboards They will absolutely fucking destroy them Pardon my French Sorry, sorry We don't have the button Yeah I need the button Like we're talking There will be benchmark graphs Where people are showing Video encoding in FFMPEG or Cinebench Where AMD literally is outperforming Intel by a factor of two Yeah That's the only reason that I can think of for them to do it It sounds fun And with how successful they've been For the last little while Maybe that type of fun is becoming worth it Where like the last round of processors from AMD I would not have necessarily said the same thing Well now that they're selling anything at a profit They actually have some money to play with So that helps It's cool though I don't know I've been very happy with all this AMD stuff And with constant security vulnerability problems coming from Intel It's a good time over in that camp So the rumor is that it would be socket compatible With existing TR4 motherboards after a BIOS update There's speculation that it's probably a 14 nanometer part We're expecting it to be priced in the $2,500 to $3,000 range And they're aiming for mid Q4 2019 Because they have something planned for CES next year Or at the very latest January 2020 Actually I don't even know if these are Zen 2 cores Which is interesting Because if they're not 7 nanometer they wouldn't be as far as I know Forgive me for not having all the details about this rumor product But we'll see how it goes Either way the only way that I could see this making any sense for AMD Is just as a gigantic FU Which is fun Yeah Alright speaking of fun Xbox Scarlett announced? You want to talk about this one? Yeah sure This is awesome by the way And if you're in the computer space and you're like no consoles suck No it's awesome shut up Because every time new really awesome consoles come out Everything steps up a little bit Because developers are going to be making for compatibility across the platform And you want this This is good for you This is very good for you Also consoles are basically computers now Yes extremely much so So ports don't suck so hard Yeah It's great it's actually fantastic Anyways Microsoft announced it at E3 2019 There's a bunch of stuff that got announced at E3 2019 They apparently will have a physical disk drive Which is actually important to know Because they've been talking about maybe not having that for a little while now Can I interrupt for a sec here? This is a really important comment Clashin Cube India says Linus got a great body Thank you Go ahead I did autocompletes for you and I on YouTube recently Just out of pure curiosity And one of your top ones is topless Really? Or shirtless or something But effectively without a shirt on That's uncomfortable So there you go cool Nobody should want to see my weird chest hair tuft It's a custom designed AMD processor Using Zen 2 and Navi architectures Sexy From a pure processing perspective It's four times more powerful And while I was reading this I expected it to say the original Xbox One But it's the Xbox One X Which is actually like that's cool Capable of running games at 120Hz frame rates Now I want to jump in for a second And say that that is a BS way to talk about the power of a game console That's true What game are we talking about? At what texture resolution? At what detail level? At what draw distance? And this is going to apply to the next note as well Keynote says 8K compatibility for a brief second Like yeah, is it a picture? This stuff makes me so mad So there were people posting again on the personal rig update one They're like PC gaming is a joke because even with the Titan RTX It was still only running at 70 to 85 frames per second As if it's that simple It depends on how much you cranked up the details Do you remember the console comparison video we did? At the last big launch That was technically like the last big console launch It's just been forever You guys should do another one Yeah, we totally should I was also thinking of doing a video A lot better Doing a video called Console marketing is stupid Okay, but PC marketing is really stupid too I know, but console marketing VR ready SLI ready That's really stupid And I don't have to accept that So the reason that marketing a console as 4K Is that everything has trade-offs I could run games at 4K on a six-year-old computer What games? At what image quality settings? Pong Exactly I could run I could Whatever This laptop I could run a game at 4K 120 frames per second If I don't tell you what game it is And what it freaking looks like That is not meaningful information It's like having a multivariable algebra equation And you've only got one number And everything else You've got variables X, Y, Z, A, B, C, gamma Freaking It's all over the place It would be cool if they tried to maybe use a first-party console Maybe use a first-party title For Microsoft, pretty easy one to call out Halo If they were like, Halo and more We'll run at 120 Sure Or something Anyway, I'll let you finish I'm going to let you finish, but I'm going to let you finish Apparently there's a quote saying We're seeing over 40 times performance increase Over the current generation From the SSD And yeah, yeah, yeah I probably should have said that Because the SSD is being used as virtual RAM So it's going to share a little bit Moving through worlds without waiting for screens to load Is going to maybe happen sometimes with some games That's so funny too Because it's like They're like, yeah What an innovation, an SSD Meanwhile we're like Hey Yeah, you mean like when people were upgrading for freaking like Wow, Burning Crusade And to be clear People have been manually upgrading consoles with SSDs for a bit too It's, it's Honestly, like Burning Crusade days That was kind of when people started upgrading and putting Wow on an SSD So that they wouldn't load when they went between Like, come on Um, Halo Infinite is confirmed as a launch title But also to be clear Halo Infinite is coming to PC and Xbox One X as well Nice Um, da da da It's possible that a new Elite controller, a Series 2 No, that's available for pre-order That's coming I'm excited I love my Elite controller Except when it broke It's actually the only Xbox controller I've ever had break is my Elite controller That's kind of sad How did it break? D-pad So I was playing CrossCode and um Used the D-pad to switch between the different elements Okay, I'm starting soon You said something about, sorry Uh, you said something about keyboard and mouse versus controller Should I keyboard and mouse it? It's, I think it, okay I've never actually played it on keyboard and mouse So the only experience I have with the keyboard and mouse controls I didn't even realize you could play it with keyboard and mouse Because it's like a top-down sprite-based RPG And I just grabbed a controller the first time I played it Because I was like, duh, this is it's totally That's usually how you do that Yeah, so the only reason I even know you can control it with keyboard and mouse Is because I was sitting on a plane And I kept like accidentally like aiming and firing at stuff And I didn't realize I was touching my touch pad with the back of my hand So I kind of played around with it a little bit And it seems like particularly for quickly aiming Keyboard and mouse would be way better Yeah, that makes sense But That's kind of a rule I really enjoyed like the laid-back console experience Of using a controller with it And like you're good enough with a controller that it probably shouldn't matter Okay, yeah Like I could do it, I beat the game, no problem There were challenging parts but like I could do it And it wasn't so Did you ever play Psychonauts? No, I played a demo Okay So Psychonauts towards the end is like It's like kind of unfair Like there's some really frustrating parts that are like I'd say amazing game design for a very skilled player Like you should be able to You should be able to beat it on the first try If you're really really good Unless it's Dark Souls or something Like obviously there are games that are designed to just kick your ass over and over and over again Yeah But I'd say most games if they're balanced correctly If you're really really good and you are mastering every new skill as it comes at you You should be able to beat a level on the first try Like Psychonauts, like really really tough So I'd say cross-code is Everything is beatable on the first try If you've been paying really close attention with a controller I never felt like it was totally unfair Okay Yeah Alright, fair Current Xbox One accessories will work with Scarlet Which is cool And apparently launching Holiday 2020 So we're still quite a ways out But yeah Yes, Jim, this is bacon turkey It's pretty legit actually But yeah, that's Scarlet It's not coming for a while but it's very exciting It's cool We should maybe stay on the Microsoft path And jump down to the Xbox Game Pass for PC Mmm Yeah So basically it's like a Steam-like thingy But it's subscription-based It's 10 bucks a month or 5 bucks a month if you sign up for the beta Or 1 dollar if you sign up now But it's 10 bucks a month Over 100 PC games available at launch And it's not game streaming So you still need to download the game and play it off your computer and stuff So here's some of the games Here, I'll just screen share with you guys Ba-doop-doop-doop! 333 results! Honestly, as with pretty much all of these things So here, let's filter by PC games Sure Hooray! 108 results, that's more like it Yeah Doop-da-doop-doop-doop A lot of it is stuff I have never heard of Forza! Sea of Thieves Here's a war! Here's a war Bunch of first party stuff I think the most interesting things in here are going to be the first party games Other than that, they're going to be mostly things that could have been very cheap If you bought them on certain sales Or things that you're probably not going to be super interested in Just because Unless you're like equally interested in literally every game genre Because there's a whole bunch of different game genres Maybe this is a really good game Is it wrong if I'm a little offended by someone trying to capitalize on Mr. Rogers? He was so against that kind of stuff Is that supposed to be... Hello Neighbor? Come on Wearing like a plaid sweater vest? Oh, it's a super creepy game though It has nothing to do with... I hear ya! I see where you're going You can't say Hello Neighbor without it Yeah Being Fred Rogers I got you But you're trying to like... I've never played it but I think you're trying to like break into that guy's house And he's trying to like catch you And then... Yeah I think he's holding a shovel because he attacks you or something Broforce, highly recommended Broforce is amazing! Luke and I played through it a little while ago Broforce! Slay the Spire is great Very good I actually really enjoyed Lucky's Tale Really? Yeah, did you not? I don't think I played it very much Oh, yeah It's like the one thing that I ever played on the Oculus Except I didn't I ran it on the Vive But I had bought an Oculus so I don't even care Yeah So... Because I bought one for LMG Yeah So I ran that on an unauthorized system with no qualms It's interesting So we called this so hard and we got so much crap for it Mostly me, I guess Not the crap, I mean the calling Yeah But VR, you guys didn't even cover the new stuff Did anyone complain? Yes, actually I need to cover the quest, people are mad But not the Rift S Who cares about the Rift S? Yeah There you go Oof Yeah, no one cared about the Rift S People do care about the quest The quest seems to be doing pretty well I'm really skeptical about it But I am trying to maintain an open mind I will... I was going to come here and say I understand, but I think you should cover it Because I don't think Linus Tech Tips should lose the foothold of covering VR content Because I think it will be really big at some point Oh hey Crosscode's in Game Pass Hey Hey I already bought it, so whatever That's cheap Yeah I love that game so much I wouldn't... it's not like... Are you going to play it again? It's hard Not necessarily recommend it? It's not... oh no, I'll recommend it No problem It's not my favorite game or anything But if I'm being really honest I think it's better than a lot of the RPGs That I treasure having played as a kid Oh I think it's objectively better They've got some nostalgia glasses going on? Yeah I think if I'm being honest with myself What about Breath of the Wild? Breath of the Wild is the greatest game of all time Do you hear about Breath of the Wild 2? I don't think I care Oh What was magic about Breath of the Wild was how utterly different it was I had no temptation whatsoever to download the DLC Okay I was just like... I was like... That was a great contained experience Yeah, you know when you finish a really great book Yep And you close the last cover and you kind of sit there and you go, wow They didn't produce season 8 I'm done Awesome Yeah Yeah, I'm kind of done But man, I put so many hours into Breath of the Wild Like I just... I tried to tell myself No, Final Fantasy VI is still my favorite game But it's just not Like Breath of the Wild... Final Fantasy VI, I still... I adore the characters But if I... you know, if I go back and I play it as an adult Who knows my way through the game There's actually not a lot that happens Whereas... and you know what? I think the same is probably true for CrossCode CrossCode can get a little grindy at times Not that much actually happens But what's great about it is I absolutely adore the characters I still... There's a strong connection there I went back and played some of Morrowind recently Yeah Because Morrowind is the game that I've always said is my favorite game And I think... I think it still is But... But... I don't think I would have the time or the patience now To play it the way you did Yes And to get out of it what you did Yes That makes sense Because I could extract the experience I had with Morrowind anymore Which makes me really sad But like... You done grown up? Yeah, to a certain degree Because like... the thing with Morrowind was I... The game starts... they give you this like package thing And you're supposed to go give it to someone And it was worth something So I just sold it all the time And that was what started the main quest So I actually really thoroughly enjoyed the game For like months Before I realized the game had a main quest And I was like... Oh... God... And then this unlocked this whole other part of the game And it was very interesting to wander and explore And I don't have the... Now I'm like... I have time to play a game I must extract enjoyment out of game as much as possible Not just... I'm gonna go enjoy myself in this space And that's what was so magical about Breath of the Wild to me So most of the games that I've loved a lot Have been because I love the characters Like even some of the less popular Final Fantasies I actually... No, most of them the characters are kind of cliche I really loved Six So it's because I love the characters And that was something that was a little bit different for Breath of the Wild Because I loved the exploration Not the... Like... the Link character is utterly uninteresting to me There's not much to them The Zelda character is... She might as well be Princess Peach They are completely interchangeable to me They're like a damsel in distress But over the years because... Empowerment, they have become strong independent women And that's great But that doesn't... That's still completely two-dimensional And you know what? I'm sure that there's like supplementary manga or something Sure Yeah, some type of additional thing Some people only play the games And you gotta... Well, if you read the lore You gotta give me something to work with here Like Link is literally a silent protagonist And that's a storytelling mechanism But what was magical about Breath of the Wild was definitely the exploration And what I usually love about games is the characters So it's just... it's hard for me to admit that my favorite game is not one that's about the characters Especially because I would never go and explore a world that I've already explored But I might go have a story retold to me about characters that I love So for me, Breath of the Wild has no replay value Whereas I have played Final Fantasy VI through to the end at least half a dozen times And like to... And almost through probably 20 times I would reaffirm all of these points It's on the same map Oof Yeah It's like effectively... and you said I wouldn't buy a DLC In one of their interviews they basically said It would have made sense to be a DLC if DLCs were conventionally seen as like multitudes bigger than what they are So it's an expansion pack So we're back to that Well, okay, they're saying it's like the Majora's Mask I never played Majora's Mask Me neither actually, so I don't know how accurate this is But the Majora's Mask to Ocarina of Time, except it's on the same map It's an expansion pack It's like a really big expansion pack Yeah, but the expansion packs are really big Yeah, Frozen Throne is huge Frozen Throne, Warcraft III Oh, I was going further back than that I was actually going to use Warcraft II I'm trying to remember... don't tell me, don't tell me It's Warcraft II Tides of Darkness, Beyond the Dark Portal It's Beyond the Dark Portal Beyond the Dark Portal campaign is just as long as the Tides of Darkness campaign If I remember correctly, Frozen Throne campaign is just as long It's just as long, you're right, it is And it like completely overhauls and changes the game, but it's the same sort of thing And like Supreme Commander's expansion pack had a campaign that was just as long and added a race Like, it's an expansion pack! We just don't call them that anymore, I guess Is someone dying? Oh, it's possible Alright, time for... Alright, so actually, was there anything else you really wanted to hit today? Otherwise I was going to do some super chats We should maybe talk about LTX, because there's a thingy now Oh, right, there's like a ton of LTX news Yeah Okay, VRRC car is going to include four cars, but isn't a race anymore It's now a first-person view experience So we're designing the tracks and it'll include some fun little easter eggs for you guys to find That's probably a good idea We'll be playing Robo Recall, Vacation Simulator, and Winland 2 at the VR Experience booth That will include eight HTC Vibes A big step up from last year's three Vibes And because we couldn't find a sponsor for it, I have to buy them Oof Yeah One of them is going to be my personal Vive, because I don't want to like... I was going to say, I think you guys have mine still I don't think so I don't know where it is Oh, I don't think we have it Sure, I don't know, I'm not accusing Okay Either way, if it's there, it'll be there We have new guests! Der Bauer is going to be there Oh, sweet Roman's coming, Steve from Memory Express, and the Hardware Canucks team So Eber and Dimitri are going to be there Nice Yeah, so we are spending so much money A lot So much money And even more, apparently BYOC seat selection is open If you have a BYOC ticket, head to dreamhack.com Forward slash tickets forward slash LTX 19 to do that Colton is slowly processing LTX volunteers one by one If you signed up and followed the instructions, please stand by And you can see below our main stage planned events Oh wow, okay Panel, AMD versus Intel Panel, PC dos and don'ts Industry insights with MSI That's going to be great, we're going to have Cliff out Oh, interesting Yep, and I already sent him a lot of my questions Like, maybe like, yeah, tell me who's hard to work with Should be good He's pretty sure he's going to get fired We're going to be playing like a family feud sort of funny thing And then we've got a panel running a YouTube business the early years That should be an interesting one Now, I'm not the only one on all these panels We're actually going to be leaning on some of our creators To come up and help us with these Twitter slash float playing Q&A with LMG part 1 and 2 is at 11.30 on the second day World of Warships tournament with Linus Never played the game, so that'll be interesting Sweet Apparently I get like a stacked like special ship That's like LTT colored and stuff What? So, like people, so I, because I don't know how to play the game I have kind of an advantage, so I don't know It should be interesting Nice, nice, nice PC versus Mac panel Budget versus performance panel Award ceremony and a farewell MSI is apparently sending us 20 little lucky dragons to sell and build On the floor plan Oh my goodness, we're showing the floor plan! Look at all the updates today Those BWOW C seats Oh, yeah, we expanded it Heck yeah Okay, so here's what we're looking at This is a little small I can't read all this stuff It's gigantic though So this is 590 BYOC seats This is PC free play where the systems are already there VIP slash staff slash crew BOIC So that's where you'll be Luke Okay Here's the stream zone So this is all kind of like dream hacky things Then we've got the stage Then over here you've got LTX And I'm having a hard time reading this So the VIP staff crew BOIC That's float plane is going to be in there as well? Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, okay And then over here is the indie zone I believe this is the case toss I can't read any of this stuff But maybe it's, I don't know It's super awesome Oh, yes, so this is a problem Free geek Is actually kind of in trouble So we just wanted to take a moment to shout them out big time For being such an amazing supporter of LTX Without them we wouldn't have been able to get The hundreds of dead motherboards to use As the motherboard house of cards booth They provided 20 plus cases to throw at the infamous case toss They sourced 20 computers for us to use in the PC build workshop Like dead components that people can learn to assemble Sent us a number of unique motherboards For the guess that motherboard booth A lot of this would have been difficult If not impossible to do without them So free geek is a Vancouver based nonprofit community organization That reuses and recycles donated electronics They offer education and job skills training And provide free or low cost computers to the public They've been an integral part of the event And they're in a bit of a tough spot right now Because recycling rates are falling And you know what, not too much details But we'd really appreciate your guys' help To help them keep their doors open What they do is kind of important So it's freegeekvancouver.org Where you can go to learn how you can contribute Because you know everything from scrap yard wars To retro mods To our sleeper PC series Like they have hooked us up In ways that are like not money But just PC community relationship ways This is the kind of stuff you want in the PC community Because if you think back to your current or maybe younger self Depending on where you're at There's a point in time where if you're really into PCs These types of outlets is what you need to lean on Maybe the only way that you could afford one Yeah, to be completely honest So inspiring new young or less financially fortunate minds In our space is how it is That's how it grows Alright, so guys go check it out That's freegeekvancouver.org And we should go ahead and call it some super chats Amari says, finally YouTube premium, got sick of ads Good stuff and thank you for the two dollars Jamaican, you too, presumably Logan, Frozen Sniper, you guys too Subspenser, Connor says, what were you doing with Gavin? A couple of really cool things So Gavin from Slow Mo Guys is here I think Full Plane knows what you're doing No they don't, that video is not up yet So we did a couple of things We determined once and for all Whether 240Hz monitors have an advantage over 60Hz for gamers Yeah, and in a bunch of really interesting ways So does it affect reaction time? Does it affect your kill rate? Does it affect the way that you aim? So we used slow motion, 1000 frames per second footage To watch how a gamer reacts at 60Hz versus 240Hz Did you watch Ed? We did Okay, good He's a lot better at 240Hz But I won't spoil anything else about it Because the findings with me and Gavin were also interesting But in completely different ways Yeah, I was hoping you were doing a Spectrum But if you weren't doing a Spectrum, I was hoping it was Ed We were So we had Ed at the top, at the top end We had Gavin as more of like a casual And then we had me as sort of like I used to be okay I guess You're good at games My aim is fantastic actually My spread was pretty close to Ed's Wow But What game? My kill time was much higher We used CSGO with an autosnipe And then we had a target basically at an undetermined time Well the reason for the autosnipe was we wanted to give the If you got a headshot, you took him down in one We told everyone to go for headshots But if you hit a body shot, we wanted it to be possible to take down the target In the time that you had while they ran across the hallway So you basically had to You had a pixel that you had to point at And then you didn't know when it was going to come And you had to take him out as fast as you could as he ran across Interesting, very interesting Really, really cool test And then what we did with the knowledge that we gained from working with Gavin Was we produced a second video the next day Determining once and for all Whether wireless mice are slower So we devised a mechanism to hit a mouse, complete a circuit Light up a light to show us the exact moment that they make contact And then we were able to use one millisecond frames at a thousand frames per second To see how long it takes the crosshair on the monitor behind it to start to move So we weren't able to actually determine down to one millisecond Which mouse was faster Because we don't have the equipment to measure that We can't intercept the signal from the mouse But we were able to tell if any monitor on the market Could possibly give you the feedback fast enough that you could detect a difference And it's going to be a really, really interesting video So that's what I was doing with Gavin Commissioner says if the 64-core Threadripper was cheap Not sure where you're going with that because it sure as heck won't be Sup Jason, Will Briggs, Westerly, Derek YouTube Premium gives free super chats I think that's what most of this is Zach says put it towards some tooling for the mill Oh man, that workshop is going to be freaking awesome C Bart, hashtag save channel super fun, 20 bucks If only it were that If only it was 20 bucks You know what's really funny is it is not impossible that channel super fun could end up resurrected As part of this diversification push We'll see It's not dead, it's just on support You want to know a fun little fact here? Remember the pigeon? The pigeon? I think it's called a pigeon Ummm, Apple Pigeon Console Pippin Oh the Pippin, yeah yeah the Atmark It's probably paid for itself by now Has it? It's like 3 million views or something Really? How much did we pay for that stupid thing again? I think it was 500 bucks Oh! Oh! Can literally buy like a brand new Xbox One X for what we paid for The worst console ever And like a game and some controllers Yeah Yeah 3 million views, hell yeah Sup Nick You guys talking about the merch store yet? Oh oh he wants us to talk about the merch So this is our hot item right now This hoodie is finally for sale Did you get one yet? Okay Oh really? Ouch Nick is my savior because my luggage was lost You lost it? No I did not, no An airline did Pfff Ah An airline did, 100% Okay And my sweater was in there but Nick swooped in and got me another one Alright so this is the one He did But either way This is the one that's like the hot seller on the store right now Yeah It's LTTStore.com It's got like a little Oop it's got a little logo here It's got the phone pocket on this side that holds even really big phones This is an early prototype So actually the um we had enlarged the phone pocket After this one because it didn't really fit very well It was like hard to get it in and out Also this one See how yours goes a little bit lower? We made it about an inch longer because this is an early one Because it was always riding up on me like that I also have a rather tall torso And it fits on me perfectly fine I know some people ask about how different fitting things work so yeah We changed the zipper to YKK instead of whatever this is That's good Yeah so we made some quality and some wearability improvements That's why these projects take so long Because you're sending feedback You're waiting for new samples You're sending more feedback You're waiting for new samples If it was just as simple as like getting a shirt printed This merch stuff would have paid for itself ages ago As it is we're okay So we're making money on every item we sell But we're deep in the red in terms of the total investment that we've put in But honestly I'm so much happier wearing our stuff now As an outside party The stuff I was most upset about losing in that luggage Okay one random little tidbit I lost literally every single pair of bottoms that I own Except for these shorts that I'm wearing in that luggage Wow bummer I don't have very many bottoms It's going to take you a long time to get free bottoms to replace those bottoms Because I know you won't pay for them That's why I only had that many I know It's because those are the same jeans I've had for like seven years I believe you But okay as an outside source The shirts are insanely comfortable The Constellation one is actually my like favorite shirt which is also gone It's out of stock right now We're working on getting more The problem is we can't get that color of shirt And so we're working on an overseas source But unless it meets the standard of the ones that we are using now We are just we'd rather be completely out of stock And not sell anything than compromise anymore I'm just tired of it And it's insane I'm just going to step in again Still outside source Your shirts are 20 bucks Yeah they're not that bad Basically no influencer shirts are 20 bucks right now 20 dollars a shirt is the like Five to ten years ago pricing for most of this kind of stuff Which is pretty awesome The shirts feel great the printing is great The sweaters are thin Which is usually bad but it's not No it's super comfortable It's like a French terry Like it's not like a cheap thin I haven't had a sweater like this before Every thin sweater that I've had sucked This one's fantastic I slept with it over my face When I didn't have another option while I was in Taiwan It was great and then it's gone And I was really sad and I got a new one We're trying to keep the pricing reasonable That's like one of the big things 20 bucks for a sweater again Sweaters are kind of expensive But it takes us a long time to make this stuff So yeah It is what it is Go buy some pants Well I have to now So I will Lloyd really wants to do joggers Joggers would be dope I don't really like them though So my new thing with the merch actually I listened to a talk from Chris Jenner of all people You know what you can say what you want about the content But you have to respect the business savvy And she was like Look Focus Focus on what you actually are passionate about And it's a lot harder to screw up And so I'm going you know So I got back to the office And I cancelled the joggers project Because I don't care about them And I was like nope we're going to do stuff that I care about a lot So the underwear that's coming It's really nice Okay good because I lost also A very high percentage of my underwear The underwear Apparently soon literally my entire wardrobe is going to be LTT stuff Which I'm okay with It's like really nice Anyway Connor says can you recommend a battery pack that can power a USB C powered laptop I don't know anything from like Anchor stuff

very much Midland says good evening guys Wondering if there's a way to clone an internal SSD To an internal software raid one SSD That is a tremendous question And I have actually tried To figure out how to do it I don't know why with the Intel Raid when you create it You can't just say Hey All of that That one drive that one's good All of that to the other one too You have to clear them when you create it And that's the kind of thing that I do know That there are Like there are values that you That you write when you create a raid That kind of tie the two together It just seems like the kind of thing that someone Over the last couple of decades might have engineered a solution to by now As far as I'm aware I don't know Of a way to do it I'm sorry Rehan says the search on Flowplane is there but doesn't seem to be effective They're working on it There's actually like a fix for it But it's just not up yet Lorenz, sorry don't think about quitting I really miss you lately on the
