 Alrighty! It's WAN Show time again! We have got a great show for you guys today, and I'll tell you what, if it is not a great show, you have someone altogether new to blame for it, and how fun is that? Oh yeah! James did the WAN Show, Doc, today. I swear my chair's too high, isn't it? Well, this is the wrong chair. Oh, did someone change your chair? Wait, did you change your chair? Wow! Wow! Well, I mean, I guess that's a positive for Vertig here. I mean, if they're going to sponsor the WAN Show, and their chair's not going to be on the WAN Show, where it's supposed to be, it should be at your desk because you took it because you like it, right? Yeah, that is actually why I took it. Okay, well at least we got that going. Okay, alright. So we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today. Everything from not liking the WAN Show and blaming at James underscore gravity, if you hate it, to PewDiePie being dropped by Disney after anti-Semitic stunt, to Samsung Air arrested as part of South Korea's government scandal. I mean, at least they still have scandals there. We wouldn't know if we had a scandal over here. Just too much stuff. We wouldn't be able to tell the difference. There's a website, I don't remember the exact URL, but it's something along the lines of like, what the F happened today? And it's like, it's literally just a like, what is going on in politics right now? Because it's such like a crazy storm of things. The damage report? That's what I do every morning. Just like, okay, what now? Rise in specs and prices leaked because it has been a week, and that means that there needs to be a topic about rise in specs and prices being leaked. Yeah. Also... I won't say anything about rise in specs and pricing, but I will say that I'm going to be out of office next week. For three days. I will be too. Yes. For a different unrelated reason. Right, but yeah, you're not... Is it next week? Wait. No, you're the following week. Yeah, for a different unrelated reason. Yeah, anyways. After that, Buzzfeed and Facebook try to break readers out of their social media bubbles. That sounds extremely untrue. I'm... We'll see what happens when we get there to that topic. Yeah, okay. So, wait. That's it. Now I roll the intro, right? Yes. Do you think it'll work? Yes. Do you think it'll work? I do. Do you think it'll work? I have 99.8% certainty. I can't tell if it's working. Me neither. Maybe if I clench hard enough. Nope, I'm dead. I love the quick and the bluntness. Oh, yep. Yeah! Oh, sponsors. DollarShapeClub.com That should be... Does it feel like the art of jingles has kind of been lost? Yes, it's gone. A little bit? It makes me sad. From when I was a kid, and even today, because many of these companies still haven't changed their jingles, but it's that cheesy AM radio sounding music recording. What's that mattress place? Sleep country and whatever country you're in. Yes. Yeah. Did they say USA? Sleep country USA. Sleep country USA. Yeah, I see it works. Why buy a mattress anywhere else? I think it goes better with Canada, but there's so many of them. Apple, auto class. Yes, yes, yes. The art of jingles has been lost. I can't think of a single jingle that stands out to me today. That's new. Yeah, that's new. They still do sleep country stuff, but it's old school. Yeah, and you can tell it's old. Oh yeah. It's bad. It feels old. Yeah, but I'm just trying to think if there's anything. You know, maybe we have McDonald's to blame for this, because they used to have great jingles. Did they? Yeah. I don't think I remember McDonald's jingles. You're pretty young. I'm not that much younger than you. Okay, so McDonald's is probably the most iconic jingle in my memory. It was, have you had your break today? Okay. That's old enough that you would have been like three. And then after that- We didn't watch TV much either. It all went downhill. So it had to be like radio. The one after that was, my, my, my, my McDonald's. And I was like, what the crap is this? It's terrible. That's pretty rough. It's awful. And then they were just like, no, we're too trendy and cool. Oh, wow. He brought you water. Thank you very much. I heart WAN. Whose cup is this? Is that yours? So he technically broke the rules of the company to bring me water. So can I get mad at him? You have to get mad at him and like at the exact same time. I thought you were going to go for the whole thing. No, I'm saving a little bit. You missed it by like a tiny amount. Oh, no. I could have chugged like two of those. I've been hosting a video leading up to this. So some of my nuts is really dry. I got you. Need some lubrication. Maybe you could use some too. Yeah, probably. It's better as a team effort. Yeah. See, okay. We got, I see. I don't remember KFC ever having finger looking good as a, as a jingle though. Like that's a slogan. That's a, yeah. Those are different. That's not the same as the jingle around. Yeah. It's gotta be. Yeah. I think I got it wrong. Number one, the best part of waking up is full. Okay. I got it slightly wrong. I was, I was going to sleep country. Because the bestest part of waking up is full just in your cup. Something along those lines. I think. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh man. I'm just angry. All right. So do we have any actual tech topics today that have anything to do with any, do you sweat when you take like a big chug chug of water? Like immediately if you're really dehydrated. Yes. Well, that seems counterproductive. Not really. It needed to do that, but it was like conserving. And then you're like here and it was like, dang. But I'm not hot. But it's still, that's not the only reason why I sweat. So now I'm uncomfortable and cold. Heat is not the only reason why you sweat. Okay. Why else do you sweat? Excitement? I think it's like, I think it's to get rid of like impurities and stuff too. Isn't it? You sweat stuff that isn't just water and salt out of your skin. I sweat enough that I don't think that's an issue. No, there's like urea in sweat or something. There's like a lot of stuff in sweat. Well, yeah, it's trying to get rid of it. Yeah. It's like nasty. Um. I'm not, I'm not a, I'm not a, I don't do the bio stuff. Don't listen to me. Look it up. But sweat isn't just for heat reasons. Kill me. Uh, okay. PewDiePie, speaking of getting killed, got his deal with Disney killed after an antisemitic stunt. You know, it's really funny. So it's Maker Studios and people didn't know that. Disney owns Maker Studios. I didn't know what antisemitic meant. I thought people- What? No, this was like, I was in like high school or something. Oh, you mean like way back. No, no, I know what it means now. Yeah, okay. So I thought that people were upset about statements that went against like the true meaning of words. I thought it was antisemitic. And I was like, what's, why does that matter? I mean, like I, I value clear communication as much as everyone I know, but still, like, like I thought it was like people being upset about like, you know, getting all anal retentive about the meanings of things. I was like, what's wrong with that? Like who cares? And it's like this big, anyway, I figured it out later. It was in like social studies or something. I was like, oh. That makes sense. Oh, because, so, so when it's to do with Judaism and Jewish people, it's semitic. Because Semite. Got it. Yeah. Well, I figured that part out. I figured the link out later, but I would have thought it would be like, like anti-Jewitic or something. Like, like, cause I didn't know the term Semite. Yes. Yeah. So anyway, so the point is, this was sort of an uncool thing that went down and this is a stock image of PewDiePie looking really not that concerned about it because it's a stock image. But the original article here is from globalnews.ca of all things. But basically what happened is Disney said he crossed the line with some of his videos. So he didn't, okay, to be fair, they didn't say that until like the Wall Street Journal made this like super out of context slanderous video. And then they were like, oh no, people are reporting. That's okay. I'm going to jump ahead a little bit. But one of my least favorite things about this entire, one of my least favorite things about this entire endeavor has been the sheer amount of people. There's been a lot of people that have stepped up to support him, which in my opinion is great because that's what should probably be happening right now. But the sheer amount of people that attacked him for it, that definitely watched his videos before and were cool with it until someone else was like, that's bad. And they were like, oh no, it is. Like, come on man. I don't know. He's been gaining subscribers through this. Yeah, he's been, it's unclear whether the subscriber bleeds here are corrections or whether, because I know YouTube has done, oh wait, oh no, those are not corrections. Okay. So yes, he has bled some subscribers. So out of his previously 53 million, he now has 53 and a half million because he gains faster than he can possibly lose because he's PewDiePie. So in terms of like his business, I doubt he's really going to suffer, but. Well, Scare PewDiePie was canceled. Okay. All right. So like there is direct business. So what happened exactly? He has made a number of videos where there was like, what you could potentially see as antisemitic imagery. One of the interesting responses that I've seen so far is when H3H3 responded because they're like friends and he is Jewish. So like you'd think that wouldn't really work. And Ethan was just like, yeah, he's totally cool. Everything's totally fine. So that was an interesting response so far. All of the images were, when you take things out of context, you can make them look like pretty much whatever you want. And when you take this stuff out of complex specifically, you can really make it look really bad, especially when you put it in like a video with like, you fade out the back and you put some white text on it like Wall Street Journal did. And I think it was Wall Street Journal. Hopefully that's correct. And then you make like, ugh, this is horrible. And then they show it with no context around it. All of the times that he did something like this, it was to contrast something else. Like one time it was to show that the YouTube, like Everyone's a Moderator Now YouTube Insider program or whatever it was called. He was comparing that to like terrible Nazi practices. He wasn't saying the Nazi practices were good. He wasn't condoning them. He was like, this is terrible. I'm going to shoot way too far and explain this thing. And he has said himself, like, I'm an amateur comedian. I went too far with some of these jokes, but like, this is not me. You're taking them out of context. I wasn't saying they're positive things. With the sign. Okay, so we should explain this was the incident that kind of snowballed into what it's become now. So, and again, taken within the appropriate context. And I agree with his statement that he clearly went too far. Because there isn't a lot of like great context in which you can take something like this. But basically, PewDiePie used, I think it was Fiverr. I don't know if you're familiar with Fiverr. It's a service where you can pay $5 for people to do something. So through Fiverr, he paid two men to hold up a sign that said, deaf to all Jews. Which is not great. His point here was that the people on this website would do nearly anything for five bucks. And he's trying to say how that isn't like a good thing. And he was able to get these guys to hold up this sign that he does not agree with at all. And it's very bad. And generally people would not do for $5. But he was showing on this website, you can get people to do this crazy stuff for $5. But this created a lot of problems. Because those guys who had issued an apology video afterwards saying we didn't know what the sign said. Like English is not a real strong point for us. We had no idea. Those guys were getting attacked online for people thinking that they were extremists until the truth started to come out. They probably should have checked. But I get it at the same time. For five bucks, you're not going to be able to have your legal department check with your comms department. Google translate is a super difficult tool to use. Still. I don't know, man. It was not great. He could have definitely used something else to get his point across. He was trying to make it ultra impactful. He's shocking shock humor. Yes. And he's a YouTuber that relies on clicks like we all do. So being able to use that to get clicks would definitely super work. And it definitely super worked. It just worked a little bit too much. Yeah, I guess to the wrong people. So you know what? Yeah. I mean, do we just have to kind of straw pull this? Maker dropping him and Disney dropping him and all that kind of stuff is one thing. And it's like a company decision where they're like, we don't want this stuff to happen. Apparently, this isn't the first time it's been brought up. And like a couple other things. That's one thing. Everyone claiming that he's like a racist and stuff. I absolutely don't think that's true. Right. So attacking him personally and attacking him as a business are two totally different things. So I want to know from you guys, do you think this was an overreaction? Sorry? Turn it. Nah. I want real answers. Do you guys think it was an overreaction in the context of what he was doing? Or do you think that there's- For what though? For, I think- What statement? What action? Okay. So getting dropped. Okay. And people attacking him. Yeah, but those are different things. Okay. Getting the maker dropping him because they're like, we don't want these images on a partner channel is totally different than people calling him actually a racist. Okay, fair enough. Well, I just want to know in general, do people think that the reaction to what he did is an overreaction or do you think it's appropriate? Because I'll say for myself, there is no place on a Linus Media Group channel for an image that contains those sentiments. I can't think of any context where I would consider that appropriate to upload. And this is why I'm saying the drop and the company decision is something totally different. Yeah. Because that, I'm not even going to dive into whether or not I agree with what they did, but they have absolutely the right to do that. Yes. If they're like, we don't want these things on our affiliated channels, sure. That's totally up to them. But calling him a racist for it is a different thing. So it looks like most of our audience thinks this is overall an overreaction to what was in my mind clearly meant to be an illustration of a point, even if I personally don't think it's in good taste. Yeah, like I don't think it was in good taste. But like what about PewDiePie was in good taste? I mean, that's the real question here from not people calling him a racist, but from Maker and Disney dropping him from that perspective is like, what's the imaginary line that he suddenly crossed here? I mean, he was already foul mouthed, completely inappropriate. I find it hilarious. A shock and awe channel, basically. I find hilarious. But like. But he was already not Disney princess friendly. Yes, yes. And they should have known that. And this should have been, yeah, I completely agree. I mean, maybe, though, they were already toying with this idea and this is an opportunity to separate the brands. Maybe it's possible. I mean, we never know what goes on in the boardroom. Yeah. Yeah. Like I said, the company decision, I don't I don't. That's their thing. Yeah. Whatever they want to do. And I totally get it. Like like you just said with line of sec tips and affiliated brands or whatever, if I were you, I would hold the exact same opinion. Right. Like that makes sense. Yeah. I want nothing to do with that. I don't want to touch it. I don't want to be near it. When people when my channel icon, when my trademark is sitting next to a video, I don't want that image in it. Yeah. Yeah. And I totally get that, especially from a business point of view. But like looking at him as a person, I don't I don't believe that about him as a person whatsoever at all. No. His content hilarious. He needs a business partner unit that wants to accept that kind of stuff. And I'm one hundred percent certain they're out there. Oh, I'm sure they're out there too. Yeah. I mean, we had what's their face? The porn, the porn site. Was it was it Pornhub or was it what do you talk? What is it? Yeah. The one that wanted to sponsor us to do like more dildo racing videos and stuff like it was porn. I said we should do it. I told Colton to do it and you heard wind of it. We're like, no. Yes. I cut that off and it's not like and to be clear, I get it. I don't have like a strong moral objection to people watching porn or anything like that. It's just not helpful for our company image and our brand to be associated in the eyes of other people who we do want to work with. And so it's just it would have been a bad business move. And I just thought it would have been hilarious. It got killed so hard. So hard. And that's fair. Yeah. All right. All the whole chat's down, but that's the problem. Yeah. We have to market to like, I don't know. I mean, well, yeah, look, I mean, it's not any secret what brands we work with. Yeah. We work with Samsung. And we're trying to look friendly to them. And Intel and AMD and Microsoft and like. And like we'll attack those guys for their products, but we don't want to put them in an awkward situation of like being affiliated with a company that they don't want to be near. Someone worries about that. I mean, one of the most precious things you have as a company, maybe the most precious thing you have in many cases is your brand. Is that that icon or that slogan or that? What? Jingle. Jingle. Jingle. And to put that in any kind of negative light is something that brands will fight really hard against. I mean, I'm talking trivial stuff. Like if you have too many pixels of white border or not enough usually, not enough pixels of border around the logo, or if you throw a drop shadow on somebody's font that they put their tagline in, you'll get like. So working at NCIX, okay, so we would put together campaigns for tech companies. And so we would take their assets and we would combine them into like things with, you know, our product page and our product photos and all that. And then we would put it up on the site. And there are brands that would straight up because they're okay. So there's the profit margin that a retailer makes. So let's say they buy this cup at a dollar and they're expected to sell it at, you know, a dollar fifty or whatever the case may be. So there's that margin. But then there's also marketing funds. So usually called MDF. So for each glass we sell, we might also get 20 cents of kickback at the end of the quarter. And in exchange, because it's not just for selling the glass, because if it was that simple they would just sell it to us at 80 cents in the first place. And we would just take 70 cents of margin. No, no, that kickback is for being a supportive partner. So you have to put together a list of all the things you did to support the sales of this product and the propagation of this brand message to your customers. So inclusion in things like email newsletters, landing pages, banners on the top of the site, NCIX tech tips videos, for example, all that kind of stuff. You put together this report that says we did this, this, this, this, this, this, and this, cut us that check for that extra kickback that we qualify for. And if you screw it up and you put the brand in the wrong context, in the wrong spot on the page or, or next to Pornhub's logo, they're just not going to cut the check. Which would have been hilarious. Which would have been really funny, but I never did. Yeah, which totally makes sense. Did I ever talk about porn on NCIX tech tips? It must have come up at some point. I must have at least hinted at it. We have, we have had a hydro porn. Like we've touched the topic. Yeah, here, yes. But when, back when I was like actually, you know, a suit, I never wore a suit. And wasn't there an ad on that video? Or did we put no integration? I have, I'm not, I'm not sure what, I, oh, you know what? I don't think, I don't think we put an integration on it. I'm going to check. Okay. You, you check the, you check the hydro porn video. Speaking of which, I think that has like a million views now. Yeah, I heard it. I heard it did really well in China. The community. No, like seriously, like I've heard it. It's at 1.36 million. Wow. And the like to dislike at the beginning was like pretty bad. Oh, it was savage. It's going up slowly. It's actually like, it's going right up. It's still bad, but it's, wow. It's like we have that on our channel. Look at these guys. Yeah. I, I, I since, no, it's a six minute video. There's no way it's a, you're wearing the, oh, you're wearing the Highlander shirt. So you've got an Asus and Intel and, well isn't it someone else too for Highlander? Corsair. Asus, Intel and Corsair have their logo all over how to hide your porn. But 1.3 million people saying, man, this video was so like saucy. Yeah, it was. So saucy. The amount of like, like weird little B-roll things we did was. I know like polishing the, that's disgusting. Okay, here, here, here. Oh, you know what? No, I don't have that. I actually don't have yours plugged in right now. I'm sorry. It's okay. Oh man. Integration, integration. If you guys haven't, I don't think there's an integration on it. No, no ad spot. So here we go. Where's the. No integration. That's just awful. Where's the, where's the sausage? There it is. So this is, that's, that's just a sneak peek at the kind of visuals that there were in this video. Oh my God. I remember talking about like this video way back when we were at NCIX still. Either you pitched it to me or we were just casually talking. I was like, yeah, I've always kind of wanted to do this. I don't remember, but I remember after you figured out that it was somewhere in the back of my mind that maybe it was an acceptable idea. You were like, let's do it. And it took a few years. I'm, I'm, I'm really stoked that we, that we did this. You know, it felt like maybe it was a bad decision at the time. And we, we took that from other creators too. She might even be watching this. So hi mom. But I was, I was on her computer trying to fix something and I found that this, this video had been 100% watched or whatever. They have the new watch duration thing. Now, to be fair, my mom will just like watch literally everything. And I think sometimes she'll just be like watching and then just start doing something else or like leave the computer and we'll just autoplay like a whole bunch of our videos. I'm sure she wouldn't have gotten distracted. I saw that and I was like, oh, I'm so sorry, mom. I think it's, maybe it's just like a, it's like a double edged sword, right? Like on the one hand, my family has no idea what I do, but on the other hand, they have no idea what I do. Yeah. Yeah. I like my family knowing what I do. It's, it's, I feel bad that like my mom had to watch that video cause that's just super weird, but like usually it's cool. I can't even imagine, like I have kids now. I can't imagine watching one of my kids sitting like flick a raw sausage on camera. Oh, and like, okay. You want to do the weird part about that too. What about when you see 100% watch time on that video from your kid? Oh, I don't even. I, you know what? I need some tips to hide it from you. I was your tech guy. Yeah. You know, it's, it's really funny. Like I remember as a kid, like this is going to be a huge note for Linus's kids, safe browsing, private browsing will not be enough for you. Yeah. This is, this is a huge generational difference here in that our generation and our parents generation, your, your dad probably to a lesser extent than either of my parents and your mom, but there is going to be such a difference in the, because he's like tech savvy. Yeah. Yeah. In the degree of tech savviness between the generations, because I'm like, I'm looking at what's going on going. I'm a little bit out of touch. Like I don't snap. Okay. Okay. So I, I'm not necessarily up on, you know, I've never played, you know, what's that mobile game that everyone plays with like armies or clash of clans, whatever else. So I've never installed clash of clans on a mobile device. Neither have I, but you know what's going on. There's certain things. And you could. Yes. There's certain things that, that, that my generation is going to be behind on by the time my son is, is 11 and getting curious. Anyway, so, so I'm, I'm a little bit out of touch, but I'm also savvy. understanding, like, like my parents didn't understand that you could delete the history from a browser. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, because hiding that from someone who's adminning your network and knows what they're doing is like And sort of next level. I'm not an expert, but I'm also not an idiot and I can learn this stuff Yeah, I have you would that's what I mean I haven't tooled around with enough networking stuff to consider myself even a beginner by really basic stuff by the standards by which I judge myself I'm not even a beginner, but I know enough to know where the tool where the book to read is and I know enough to read the book and figure it out. So that you're old when the time Could have been an ebook hmm on transcript of a Linda comm course You understood what I meant, yeah, which makes you old too Yeah, I still read physical books, but like honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this coming generation goes full circle and has like nudie printouts magazines Because I wouldn't even think to look for that. I mean now that I thought about it But but it might be literally easier to just physically hide something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, maybe Back in the shed or something weird. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah somewhere that you just yeah I mean, I would probably find it in the shed. I mean, that's where I keep my But seriously Yeah, yeah, although there were some tips that we gave that were very good. So the dedicated viewing device Yeah, where you keep everything contained you keep it off the network You refuel it when you're on a connection that is outside of anywhere where an admin would be able to watch you So there are certain tips that we gave in the how to hide it video. Yeah that that Could defeat but the dedicated device. I don't know because that's tough You have to own it and you have to physically hide it and you have to hide it and if you find an electronic device That you've never heard ever seen before and that I can't get into that you can't get into all of those things You can't get into it. It's hidden. You've never heard ever seen it before That's getting confiscated so You can have this back when you're 18 I seriously I don't know what kind of parent I'm gonna be about a lot of things like I'm super strict about some stuff And then other stuff like I'm pretty chill. So I don't I don't really know but like I don't it's it's amazing I just gonna like figure it out when it happens. Yeah Yeah, you can guess what kind of a parent you're gonna be but like I never would have So, okay, so I would have known you like the talk parent Um, are you gonna wait till it happens then have the talk? I don't like explain what it is and like I don't know cuz like I I speak pretty frankly. Yes, like I'm not gonna shy away from the word penis. No at all and like But on the flip side, it's like I don't want I don't you know what? No, maybe maybe I will I'll probably just go for it I'll probably just like Yeah, yeah, I'll probably just go for it. I'll be like, okay, so This is why rim jobs are a bad idea and it might seem good in a movie, yeah, but This is your all the reasons why not these are all the problems with it in my opinion that's a good idea because too many people just See the stuff and then have no context for why it may or may not be bad And then that's worse and you will never actually Completely stop them if they really want to I think we also live in an age where this information is so easily accessible that I'm not convinced It really matters anymore. Yes, I might be better coming from like a trusted Somehow I managed to bypass sexual education in both I think it's grade 5 or grade 6 When it comes up the first time and then I think grade 10 when it comes up the second time Mine was great for some reason so I changed schools in grade 6 and then So it was that a different it had already been done at the gap and then in high school I don't know what happened exactly, but I never got sexual education Education. I mean, it's a miracle. I know what to do with it at all. Maybe I don't Maybe it seems to be working. Yeah, it seems to be working pretty well. Um, well not anymore But um It didn't seem to be that difficult to kind of Piece it together. So I don't know my mom stepped up. Did she gave us the talk? Yeah, yeah relatively early on to the point where like when we started sex ed in class Yeah, all these kids were like, but what is that? I was like, are you all idiots like I? Don't know I felt better about that right be completely honest. I Personally prefer knowing more things even if those things may be uncomfortable. Yeah, I've always believed in that mantra I'm gonna have to tackle it when I get to it though Cuz like I would have known that I'm the kind of Parent who's never gonna let his kids win at anything Like people were upset that I didn't let my son win at cribbage cuz like I should just be impressed that he's playing crib And he's four he can count his own 15s and runs and pairs and three of a kind and all that stuff like really impressive He has a little trouble remembering when he has a flush or nibs, but he's doing real well But I'm not gonna let him win and people were like upset on Twitter and like I crushed him at risk and posted a picture of that on Twitter I'm like no more of an accomplishment. That's right my thing like the the little girl the Nintendo event Yeah, I did genuinely want to let her win, but that wasn't my kid Yes, that was how I approached that yes I didn't want to do that even though it happens stupid training wheels whatever Because it again wasn't my kid if I was I don't want one But if I was in my position I'd probably do the same thing because then when they do beat you it has to mean something Yeah Trophies need to mean something and like real accomplishment is like and really cool and something that you can't get in Beating me at badminton needs to be a real trophy Like I like you'll go like get food after that's right and like have a conversation and then I'll cry yeah Yes, because I will be officially Supplanted as the man of the house I'm not gonna do that based on badminton Well what else do I have Should we do some actual news topics or something and the show is like half over No, it's like half over okay. This show is brought to you by Dollar Shave Club where when you're a man But you're not supplanted yet you can shave your face and look younger Just like Luke did the last couple weeks which was actually you you know I'll be unintentional I used to like babyface Luke and Now I think babyface Luke is We'll throw that baby out with the bathwater Yeah, yeah, it's done. It's done. It's done. I said rugged Luke works a lot better And for Linus yeah, yeah, I think it works better for everyone so like normally I use I'm not even just saying this because the outspot I legitimately use dollar shave club razors down here where you get like the neck beardy thing Yeah, cuz neck beard is like I don't want that that gets clean shaved yeah Getting rid of it neck beard is not even a like you should do it to be like haha. I'm doing something uncool like socks and sandals It just it just looks like you don't Care yeah, so but normally I like having like the Normal kind of beard okay, okay, and that would be trimmed and then this would be shaved yes What's up right now what happened right now is? I have this super fancy cost me an annoying amount of money electronic razor thingy Yeah, and you change the level that the guard is at electronically yeah, and it shows on the display so I was spamming the up button because I was like I want it to Not take off very much at all and it would like glitch out and not go up every time I pressed it But I was like whatever and I eventually got up to the maximum setting and I go okay cool Oh, and I I went like this and like it doesn't shave that well So I hold it in my hand like this and just went Grrrr and just cut this whole side down, and it went like almost straight down to skin I ended up sending a picture to Jake Jake has it where I just like I finished it cuz I did half So I just finished up and made it like two-faced and it was insane the like full beard and then completely gone And I was like okay well I can't do this so I have to finish both sides And it was just gone, and it's funny cuz the end of my personal rig video I'm like I'm gonna shave now And I was intentionally just cleaning it up and then the ad spot immediately afterwards is like the next day with no hair And everyone in the comments is like holy crap. You're really ugly and I'm like that wasn't the goal I was just trying to make it a little bit tinier So learn from Luke! Don't be ugly Visit DollarShaveClub.com slash Linus they've got an offer now where you can try out Their top tier razor for I think the first month is free or something anyway after that It's just a couple bunks a month. Yeah bunks couple bucks a month They send high quality razors, and they have other bathroom supplies as well straight to your door So you don't have to get people on the internet telling you that you are ugly. Yeah, it's good Yeah, yeah, you can have a beard and still use a blade good stuff shave the neck beard Ah so Samsung Air arrested as part of South Korea's government scandal dun dun dun So the original article here is from CBC.ca JY Lee is a suspect in Influence peddling scandal that led to the impeachment of the South Korean president They have got a thing going on over there though. It surprises me that it even made the news relative To a lot of other stuff going on so what is Samsung paid tens of millions allegedly allegedly along with allegedly a 830 thousand dollar horse Wow for the president to exert pressure on Korea's national pension service to support a merger of two Samsung Group companies I see so this merger would make it easier for JY Lee to gain control over Samsung Wow Way to go James Failure typo Samsung Samsung Samsung shares in Samsung fell 1.3 percent Samsung Electronics Co. Limited and shares in Samsung C&T Corp fell 2.8. Did I say one point something else you said 1.3. Well good for me I'll get I you know what that's it. I quit well then all I was saying was that wasn't a James problem It's been okay. That's fair. Yeah rise in specs and prices leaked again again I think it's been three or four weeks in a row. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, here's another picture of a CPU wait It's WCCF tech. I thought the last time they leaked it. They said it was official Wait what so this time is the same article again. This is the same article as last week. When was it posted February 12th? No, no Okay, so is this one more or less official? Oh, oh, I don't think wait did we have what oh? I don't think we had quad and six cores last time so this one is just as official so you can tell more of it how totally leaked and Not being carefully doled out by AMD this information is Yeah, I Mean it's interesting so quad core 3.2 to 3.5. Gigahertz with overclocking Apparently all rise in CPUs will support overclocking is a hundred and thirty bucks It could be a very good time to be a value consumer again You can get hyper threading so an i7 competitor for a hundred and seventy five And I shouldn't call it hyper threading turbo threat. I don't know what they call it This is gonna get really confusing really fast my life has been really easy Yeah for the last four years because all I have to care about is like the Intel TM names for things because no one cares About AMD's equivalent, so there's hyper threading and there's GPU boost now like we need those guys just for the Fact that now AMD CPUs are gonna be like a thing yeah I'm gonna be so much more work. I am stoked. Yeah, it's great every video card Do every video card we're gonna have to test both on AMD and Intel Literally twice as many can you imagine that it has been so long since anyone even asked and we'll have to do like ram stuff Can you remember the last time anybody asked us to benchmark a new video card? I'm a D platform that would have been back in the garage 2013 so it's 2017 now, so you can do the math on that Like Yeah, I will have to do RAM because the new platform might have a difference on it Yeah, it'll matter cuz maybe it'll matter if you if you don't do like an i3 with a Titan XP Maybe it'll matter like more scenarios than that. Yep Possible yeah, like it's just gonna have to do everything Cool. All right, so much more work. What else we got? That's okay. Maybe we can do like a four-part video Yeah guys Yeah, you know what? I'm down to do more work though. Maybe as long as it's something that's exciting No, I'm totally and bringing the fun and like Exploration back into a new CPU launch is is like getting really exciting for me But what I have to say though is I'm falling into the trap again AMD has done this to me a lot of times where it has looked really promising I'm not falling into the trap and then they have crapped on me. I'm getting excited So I I have become other than with Nintendo Which I'm just okay with I Have become an expert at curbing excitement. Mm-hmm I do not care and then it'll be on a bench and I'll get super super stoked I'm very excited to get it on a bench. I don't even really care outside of that Then we'll see how it goes. I'm excited for the marketplace looking really different six months from now I and I I hope that I hope that they pull through because this will be the last time But I will get my hopes up which I have said before unless it works then there will be one more time Then there'll be one more time BuzzFeed and Facebook try to break readers out of their social media bubbles The original article is from Bloomberg. Yeah, let's go ahead and pull it up Why does it say and Facebook that yeah, that doesn't make any sense So BuzzFeed tries to break readers so the publisher will expose audience to Opinions from across the web different article for Facebook Okay, news outlets seek out other viewpoints after the surprise election BuzzFeed's outside your bubble feature will appear at the bottom of its widely shared articles So that they can claim that they're doing this and no one will ever click on it And it won't matter so the idea then is to get readers to Understand or at least be exposed to viewpoints of people who don't think like they do if they go to the bottom of an article And click on what is probably a small button and click on what looks like probably a promoted story, although What I will say is this Someone out there is clicking on promoted stories and believing stuff that is obviously not true That is obviously nonsense Someone is doing that or else it wouldn't be such a huge thing or else it wouldn't be down there and Those articles might sound Slightly more credible there's on the front page of BuzzFeed there was an a serious investigation article About how this person is sad that their bagel wasn't cut in half as effectively as they would want it to and I Don't understand why this website exists You know what's really funny though is I have I have probably done a longer rant than that about the worst Subway sandwich anyone ever made for me. I'm pretty sure you've heard it Okay, have you not I think I have but I feel like this was much more interesting okay? Okay, I'm gonna tell the subway sandwich friend this was Bar also hold up before you go. Yeah, I cannot find this button How far down do you have to go? I don't know I've been going for a while. I might have missed it Maybe it hasn't been deployed yet like I went through the main article. Yeah I got here. I was like okay. Maybe it's on the sidebar. I Tried the more button doesn't do that Okay, okay, so I I so this was okay, so there was a period Where I don't remember when this was it must have been about ten years ago Maybe like ten eleven years ago, so that would make it what like? 2015 So when was the like anyway whatever it was it was a period where jobs were like coming back and It was fairly obvious that at entry-level positions They were having a very hard time at least here in Vancouver filling them Every clothing store had help wanted signs for like sales representatives every every restaurant had help wanted signs in the windows for like cashiers and and Waiters and waitresses and stuff like that so I walked into a subway and this must have been the worst Subway employee that I have ever encountered in my entire life I said okay I would like a foot long sub on this kind of bread and we got that far Okay, and then I had my tuna on it, and I said could I have two layers of tomato and the guy picks up? Two slices of tomato and puts them on either end of the sandwich either end of a foot long looks at me expectantly and I go no no two layers and so and This this was the part where my hand almost made it all the way through my forehead to the back of my skull He picks up the tomato on the one end puts it on top of the one at the other end Totally straight face like I'm pretty sure he wasn't messing with me was he high and looks at me expectantly And I'm I was just Actually my mouth was moving. I couldn't get words out of it and And the shift supervisor kind of scurries over and goes I'll take it from here grabs a thing of tomatoes and Puts it across the rest of the sandwich and finishes making my sandwich meanwhile I was like I can barely even think about what I want to put on I can't believe what I just witnessed and you might go look Linus like that's racist yo He probably didn't understand English or something But I don't buy it I Said to and he managed to get two pieces of tomato, and I said layers and he managed to put one on top of the other So he understood to and he understood layers Why would anybody? want either of those configurations impossible And I think that's much worse than the bagel being cut in half the wrong way also I tried to find it on the US website manually navigated there. Yep nothing nothing okay? Well, we'll figure that out later So they're not trying that hard is probably where I'm gonna put that Alright so ours technica the dad who live-streamed his son's birth by accident on Facebook Loses in court he tried to sue TV companies that picked up the video But it was protected under fair use Where basically the court said that where pictures or videotapes themselves are the focus of a major news story? News reporters may make brief use of selected footage to explain to the public what the story is about This is really interesting original article from the verge YouTube to kill unskippable 30 second ads next year, but done done Oh, that's pretty good. I can do it's that's pretty good. I was doing my best there, but don't celebrate just yet There will still be shorter unskippable ads so There you go Yep Cool This is interesting Bill Gates figures that robots that take your job should pay taxes This is actually Wow, I initially I kind of went well. That's super dumb. I'm disappointed you were such a smart guy before but this is potentially the solution to The they'd have to pay an ordinary amount of tax to what I said Last was it last week where I was saying that companies that replace workers are going to have to Pay extra taxes to allow for some kind of social security net for the people who aren't going to have jobs I got a lot of criticism under that under the video last week people calling me a socialist or whatever else a lot of The problems around this is going to be what defines a robot well if it's Microsoft It's going to be probably a per core license or something along those lines like they will probably the government will probably have to redefine What constitutes a person? Replacement yeah because like that has happened a lot already. Yep with automated machines. Yep So I mean they'll probably have to work out some kind of a system based on the current unemployment rate and much like property taxes The way that they change from year to year depending on how the real estate market is performing I suspect they could come up with some kind of an index That kind of goes okay You have this proportion of the actual employment. That's actually out there you have automated X amount This is how much you owe to make up the difference for all the people that clearly don't have jobs at all There's going to be some tax loop if your company is based out of Texas or something and everyone will pay nothing And everything will go on like normal Cool. Yeah, or Delaware is Delaware the it's Delaware, right? I don't I'm not sure I think Delaware is the tax place But um yeah, I mean it's an interesting point because this Delaware tax haven I mean there there's there's also just the fact that the government for people not being working is Giving up that income tax Yeah, so not only are there gonna be more people to support like this is a problem we actually have to solve and like I had people making arguments to me like No, this just frees up people to like do better stuff and like no one wants to talk about this but like if that were true if Losing your job driving a coal truck was going to turn you into a best-selling novelist or something or even a crappy novelist um if that were how this works if people were just going to Make money from people giving them money by doing something creative or becoming a professor Or whatever the case may be then we would have already seen that We wouldn't have The situation that we're in right now in the states with people who just want their jobs back Who have potentially been out of work for many years at this point? um Still not having work It's just not how it works. Unfortunately sort of a big problem like already Look at like I'm I'm my biggest worry and It's it's not just my biggest worry It's like a lot of different people's biggest worry is cars Because the transport sector is I believe the biggest employment sector in the states Yep, and like semis and taxi cabs and all this kind of stuff are a really freaking big deal Yep, and that's gonna be automated like soon. Yep, very very soon And I mean there's another factor here electric cars do not need nearly the same degree of maintenance that internal combustion engine cars do so all of a sudden car maintenance is gonna go from oil changes and and transmission fluid and hot-swapping motors to hot-swapping batteries motors and you'll need to replace your tires and Tires basically even light bulbs are gonna be le D done at automated you drive up it lifts up your car Or it doesn't even lift up your car. It just drops the floor out of under it Other than where your wheels are so Elon Musk talked about how you would be able to swap out a battery pack fast and you can fill up your car with gas so they could probably do other stuff to very interesting and You know, it's just it's one of those things where like Maggie He wasn't saying that electric cars didn't break down more than traditional cars. He was saying that the maintenance on them is much different. Yeah Yeah, they can break down tried to call you out. Sure, of course. They of course they can call you down or call you out Yeah, of course anyone can call me. I'm sort of a I'm sort of a big target Of course they can break down but that's not what we're talking about We're talking about the regular maintenance that I have to do like every two months on my car and what not a thing entails Yeah Very very interesting automatable that maintenance would be that's right. Oh Boy Scary okay, um What else we got here The Nintendo switch system menus leaked really that's news way to go James. It's really boring. I watched the whole thing is Okay, I'm an Nintendo fanboy and I was like, okay, it's a system menu All right Okay, there's icons and you scroll through them and then you like type in your information and it makes you an account Hooray Star Wars the last Jedi is officially plural We can tell because when it was translated to Spanish That's plural so that's good. So I finally saw Rogue one. Oh And it hasn't been enough time. Probably I think so It's only playing in like three theaters in the lower mainland at this point Like if you haven't seen it in the theater by now, you're probably not seeing it in theater I like barely made it and I honestly, I I'm I apologized for taking my wife to it afterward and I have to go see Fifty Shades Darker as penance now because she wants to see that that was not a good movie She wants to see that she's she is I'm a little disappointed. She is otherwise She is like rather disappointed like this this is like a I'm not mad. Okay, she acknowledges that it isn't good She knows it's bad I I don't know. I have never seen the first one like have you know, like do you know how bad it is? I Don't know about the movie, but I know the premise of the books and I've read articles of like Sex-positive people reviewing the book and being like this is Morally and like emotionally and physically bad because even if you want to like play with these types of dynamics What is described in the book is literally abuse? So I was like things aren't communicated properly you could do the same stuff if you communicated it properly, but it's not I don't know Really bad. I've never read the books. I've never seen the original movie. Anyway, the point is I I now thanks to rogue one have to go see a trashy movie I'm very sorry for you Yeah, and so am I and I'm almost as sorry for myself that I had to see rogue one because there were There were some good moments But there so spoiler alert there were some good moments, but there was some incredibly immersion and flow breaking stuff in that movie What was immersion breaking? Okay, so here's there first of all the score was terrible I couldn't believe how bad the musical score was for a star was not I was not a fan of the score. It actually took me out of the movie multiple times where I went Why why did they change something about the iconic Star Wars tune right now just then why there was no reason to change that and The opening music like right when it opens is bad There's no opening text scroll but like I'm not gonna get I'm not gonna get too sort of upset about that I think the idea there is that it's not a mainline movie, but yeah here here is one of the biggest Okay, so so a couple times it was just really bad writing And bad acting so the delivery of the inspirational motivational speech to the rebel command was awful It was abominable and the like the shots of the reactions in the room I mean the actress very good at being sad the actress playing Mon Mothma Clearly chosen for looking like Mon Mothma not chosen for any kind of acting skills whatsoever She's really good at being sad. Yeah, she's really good at being sad She's really good at being sad. Yeah, she's good at being sad. Jen is very good at being sad Yeah, I'm not gonna criticize gin too hard other than that speech Or like her scene with like the hologram thing. Yeah, it was like really good. Yep. That was good Another another sort of sort of brutal criticism another really flow breaking thing for me I understand it's not David Prowse in the suit I get it, but he should still probably try to kind of move like Darth Vader instead of moving like a guy on the sidewalk in Las Vegas who bought a good Darth Vader costume like there is a demeanor to Darth Vader He strides purposefully. He doesn't walk and I was just like I do not buy this character at all as a dark imposing threatening guy the force choke scene Just about had me cringing my face off. Okay, the line is so bad. The line is bad, but That happens a lot if you look at the previous movies. Yes, there's a lot of bad He likes his Vader likes his cheesy. He's still anakin a little bit a Little bit I think a lot of it was just how it was delivered Because I cringed really hard too and then I like thought about it afterwards and I was like he does that kind of stuff a lot Yeah, but it's just like how it's hand. He doesn't make eye contact with the victim. Yeah, it's not intimidating Yeah, he's just like cash like BT dubs. My hand is like this It's terrible it's terrible the body language of Darth Vader is way off and then I'm gonna get into the part that's the worst Now all action movies are guilty of this to an extent There will be a scene where someone has to defuse the bomb and you see the countdown timer and it's like 12 seconds left it's like ticking down like three seconds ticked down in the shot and then it like cuts away to other stuff happening and clearly like a Minute has passed by the time we get there and there's still a second left or there will be a situation where like Someone has to someone has to jump but the trains are pulling apart they've been detached and someone has to has to jump and Clearly they're already far too far apart for the then the next shot is like now like this and they like keep doing it We're like they're moving apart. Oh, no, really they're moving apart this time and then finally they make the jump and like You know, this is not complicated math how long it takes them to separate We're like 30 meters apart by the time they jump they hit the tracks they die All action movies do it to an extent and it's flow breaking for me every time but rogue one had one of the most egregious Examples of this it's been a while since I've seen it that I have ever seen So they arrive at the planet or moon or whatever it is I don't care because I'm never rewatching this movie they arrive there and the shields open and they're just like Well, let's go for it. We got to help them. They're on the surface This is important and they get like four x-wing fighters through the hole before the Imperials manage to seal it up Okay, I mean and this is ignoring the fact that the rebels are bombing the energy shield instead of the ring structure surrounding it for some completely Unbelievable reason later on well this isn't working against a planetary shield And then they see and then they see when it like breaks that thing falls apart So yeah, immediately the whole shield goes away, and it's like well, and there's another sort of space movies issue that I have in general Here and that's the whole our shields are at 60% Meanwhile there's like gigantic chunks of the spaceship being blown off by like torpedo blasts and stuff I'm like are your shields up or not? Okay, okay, so anyway while the shield is open direction like 4x wings get through So it could be like 60% of the shield is still intact Okay, I've had enough of you, so 4x wings get through maybe it's five whatever the point is not a lot Then for the next 10 minutes I'm to believe that this one shuttle worth of commandos which look to be about 20 people Maybe 30 people and these 4x wings All of which every single one of which you watch get blown up like three times Over the course of the next 10 minutes like if you go back and watch it and count how many people are like they're fighting 8080 walkers down there and I'm to believe that they're in a pitched battle for all this time with no reinforcements There are actually rebel fighters under the shield that are not x-wings Engaging with an entire squadron of Thai fighters before the shield opens again They're not even trying They're not even trying to make it somewhat believable. I'm not asking for it to like be perfect I Mean okay, so the return of the Jedi space battle equally guilty of this you watch the entire rebel fleet jump into hyperspace It's like 15 ships Okay, and then they're fighting against what looked like an entire like they had a star destroyer for every rebel fighter Like that battle was over before it started regardless of what the Death Star does But at least try and then finally the robot quite like the robot character Is it cliche to have kind of the sassy you know robot or whatever sure? But I can somewhat let it go. He's got some good one-liners. That's fine But if the Empire had these highly refined versions of the battle droids we saw in the prequel trilogy Why are they deploying stormtroopers to fight anything? I mean the guys like? Catching stuff and throwing it without even looking at he takes down an entire squadron of stormtroopers in a heroic last and the end Which with one pistol well often not even looking at them To be fair though. I think part of that was subtlety Because they're not going to immediately assume that the droid isn't is an animal. Well they're fighting. I mean they're getting shot at They were coming in waves They were coming in waves No, they were coming in waves if they had anything that badass where was it in new hope Empire and return of the Jedi I mean So there you go Very flow breaking maybe bad when they blew up the put they lost the plants where they couldn't make them anymore decent to bad acting Um and they also lost like how to maintain them which was stored in those archives as well, so they all broke down and They never made anymore All right, so thank you for watching the WAN show we will see you again next week same bat time same bat channel The Star Wars show brought to you by Dollar Shave Club I'm not gonna say that I don't have to because you did
