 You're going. OK. Nope, not that one. The other one. Chrome. And then, yeah, Chrome's stupid restore session. That's just absolutely recent. Yeah, it's ridiculous. And just doesn't work sometimes. Dup, dup, dup, dup, dup. Wow, Chrome. You are so terrible. I just love you. I just love you to pieces. Recent tabs. None. It's like, yeah, I know the computer crashed, but it's just like, really? Really? Oh, man. Them black magic drivers, man. You know, we were doing real well for a bit. And the funny thing is that's even on their fancy $1,000 or $2,000, however much it costs, like, 4K capture card. And it just like, sometimes, oh, no, no, no, because this was an HDMI one. No, it is on the Intensity Pro. Because sometimes it just outwrites like, yeah, no, blue screen, sorry, bye. We're just getting hot, so see you. All right, so you know what, guys? I hate to kind of make you sit through this, but because it will take me about an extra six to 12 hours to have the WAN Show archive up, if I cut it together afterward, there are a few reasons for that. And it's absolutely terrible. So we're gonna kind of just start over, and then we're going to nuke our first topic. So we're gonna do an extremely, extremely quick intro. Paid prioritization on the internet. Watch Dogs is going to run at crappy resolutions, not on the PC. Knock to our fans, new ones coming. And Adaptive Sync is also coming. Boom. chairman pauses Today our Squarespace.com the fast easy way to create your own beautiful website and Asus with the g750 jz This laptop is so great that I use it with my mate Don't hate Your response is too late Oh, alright, so let's move on to our oh, I guess since it was one of our headline topics We better at least sort of talk about it very briefly So FCC approves internet fast lane basically that's just a way of screwing over people who don't have the money to pay for the fast lane you know what's funny, and we actually I guess we didn't talk about this last time around but It really is like that because calling it calling it an internet fast lane is actually the very Best way to explain what it is It is a way of making sure that the people who don't have way too much money so that they just don't even care anymore Just all get stuck in like sitting in traffic and wasting their time They're taking a three lane highway and make it so that one of the lanes is paid for only so the other two lanes have Way too much traffic all the time and then this one's awesome, but only has really rich people I mean the so have you ever have you ever been to Toronto? For like half an hour, okay, so Toronto has basically they have like two kind of not quite but like two somewhat equivalent highways and One of them is a toll highway and the other one is the sit and don't move highway and the toll highway is so expensive because you actually you get told when you get on and Then it actually keeps track of how far you go and then tolls you like based on how far you go like based on how far you went at the exit and The way like the way they enforce this is it's it's all cameras But get this if you try to dodge the toll they'll actually they keep records of all the vehicles matching a given description And when they catch you they look for patterns and when they catch you they hit you with the entire bill plus interest So like it's absolutely brutal and basically I remember I forget I forget how much it costs but I was there and And I worked it out and it was something like an hour of your wage per day if you were making like okay money Just to get to and from work aside from gas aside from insurance Yeah, which of course the the local government is also collecting taxes on Yeah, it's just absolutely brutal That's nasty. So that is what a fast lane is a fast lane is a way of saying You got lots of money Alright, man, you don't got lots of money You can go get in that one. That doesn't move ever. Yeah pretty much Okay, so this is pretty fantastic This is posted originally on the forum by death jester. We're gonna go ahead and share my screen here Watch dogs the watch dogs experience. So, okay So here's a quote from the article which was on the Ubisoft blog our next-gen system are on next-gen systems The game will run at 900 P on ps4, which actually is not that bad upscaled. 900 P is not that bad That's what like 80% of the resolution of 1080p ish. It's still not 1080p and 10 EPS kind of meh on a TV though Remember you're playing on a TV. So 1080p is like as good as it got not everyone plays these on TVs That's true, but you're still playing on a 1080p display. I'm like dorm room people. Yeah. Yes Okay, so so you're playing at 1080p. So 900 P not that bad. It's gonna run at 792 P on the Xbox one What is 792 P Like they're just they're just inventing things It's like what it's the highest it's probably the highest they could get that sits at 30 FPS Yeah, but it's too better than 790 P. Why didn't you go with 790 P? Why not 793? The highest they could possibly get where it sits stable at 30 FPS I bet you that was it. It runs at 30 frames per second on both on both consoles and Basically what Ubisoft had to say is while some new-gen games now offer native 1080p It was much more important to deliver an amazing next-gen experience than to push a few more pixels onto the screen And this is a quote resolution is a number just like frame rate is a number Resolution is not just a number resolution is one part of the overall visual fidelity But that assumes that the resolution is at a reasonable enough level that it's not Detracting from the experience. I mean this experience is a word Just like how gameplay is a word How did I ever do this show without you oh right less expensively I Don't know when it was it was a year in whatever I think that a year is just a period of time I Don't think it was a year and a half I don't know when it was it was a year in whatever. I think that a year is just a period of time Oh Okay guys, this is this is the problem with this Okay, like look at this way when you're playing a game like Battlefield 4 where it's available on the PC It's available on the PlayStation 4. It's available on the Xbox 360 it's available on all these platforms that gives you an opportunity to evaluate the importance of Like gaming hardware, and you know what I think when you and I were doing our evaluation with the next-gen versus last-gen versus entry-level PC we pretty much agreed PlayStation 4 you know what not a bad value Yeah, the difference and this was Assassin's Creed at the time and that was running at 900p at the time wasn't it? I think so it was something like that. I can look it up It was 720p on it was 720p on Xbox one for sure Yeah, and I think we could agree and just jump in if I'm saying things that are totally unfair But I think we could agree that PlayStation 4 looked a hell of a lot closer to the entry-level PC like basically yeah Yeah, sitting a distance away from but the Xbox one experience because the resolution was so low Even though maybe they're running similar detail levels And they've got the same physics simulations and all that gameplay stuff that is really important the resolution was so low that it Detracted from the experience. It was very noticeable it was it was Obvious and your eyes kind of went oh like crap like this would look good if it wasn't for you look yeah that that people Are saying 1080p now, but I think it is 1080p now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no there was an update So the point is that up to a certain point? Resolution is just a number and when your TV is gonna be you know 20 feet away from you or something like that 1080p versus 4k you may not even be able to tell depending on the screen size and stuff depending on screen size depending on distance depending on content, but 1080p versus 360p you'd be able to tell yeah, and then like 1080p versus like you know whatever the lowest one like is it like 144 or like whatever like lowest vertical line resolution is gonna be distracting and terrible and I In my mind 792p for something that we're gonna call a next-gen gaming experience I understand what they're doing, but it's a totally unacceptable gaming experience in my mind But I don't blame Ubisoft for this no at all no not their fault in fact Ubisoft I'm gonna do this You know why the experience that they needed to push That's right and on the platforms that can do it they're gonna deliver that experience They had the balls to say look we're gonna make an awesome game that looks fantastic And has a bunch of really cool features, and it does and you know what if people don't buy the right hardware Fine then they're gonna get a lesser experience and like we're sorry, but like we did our best man We did our best and Deal with it honestly this stuff Ubisoft's been pushing out lately has been really cool other than you play You place terrible yeah, you play a sterile really bad, but like the game this live stream brought to you by Ubisoft you place terrible Oh wait hold on nope nope nope nope One actually fairly interesting thing is Mario Kart 8 on Wii U is gonna be 1080p 60 Hold on hold on this is great this guy's like Linus is such a suck-up sometimes And then they probably hasn't seen the part of the stream you play is terrible Awful really bad yeah, you play is off very possibly the worst one what I think Ubisoft should do is They should just like Make a deal with valve where they can have their own you play, but they can just skin a section on steam Yeah, there's the you play section on steam. No valve should just sell them a license for No way that would be so good. That would be awesome. That would be awesome if anyone from valve is watching Please rescue them you do it You know that they need to have their own thing so they can feel like big boys like like they have their online Content distribution thing let them build their own like still make money. Yeah, you can still make money off of it This way just let them license it so they can feel like they're doing their own thing Everyone's a winner Everybody everyone's a winner because it's so much better than origin and you play and then and then maybe part of the license Contract can be that browser based. What's that battle log battle log has to go away. Yes. Oh Man, I would be so happy valve can rescue us all valve can literally save the whole universe I'm sorry. You were talking about Mario Kart and how Mario Nintendo is gonna be to live Nintendo Mario Kart 8 on Wii U 1080p 60 FPS including split-screen multiplayer They're just like nope It needs to be in this experience and it looks really good and it has new features and all this kind of stuff and boom I mean part of Nintendo's thing. I think they benefit from resolution more than other guys Because they're graphical style. It's kind of like Blizzard where they're just like, okay We're gonna make stuff that's really easy to run and then we're gonna call that a graphical style Yeah, but it looks really good, but it works. Yeah that cartoony style works. I Mean that's not gonna help No stop losing money. No, right and it's not gonna help watch dogs in any way No, because watch dogs is not cartoon is this great. Who's this on twitch? At a Dalval and battle log is so much fun. Yeah, it's basically its own game The game you make it press the button It's like playing slots Every time I'm like, let's see because I don't know Someone wants to know what are the aftermarket buds on my ie 80s? Nothing. These are just these are just stock ie 80s And I love them. They're amazing. They're my favorite. They're my favorite earphones ever Not because Sennheiser paid me to say that in fact, my relationship with Sennheiser has been very rocky at times But I definitely do love their products. What's what are those tips that we used to use comply? Yeah, those were nice comply actually reached out They want us to do a review and I was just kind of like how do you do a review of a piece of foam that goes? On the end of it. Yeah, we could do like a 30-second review. We could do a review of just the tip I guess there We don't want the whole thing they're good, but they break down and then you have to buy new ones and it gets expensive Yeah, I mean Edzel buys them but my whole thing was I don't want to get hooked because yeah, I Cannot okay. I can afford to buy foam tips, but I would feel stupid I yeah, yeah, it's not like that much money, but it just seems like an investment where you're like, wow I really need to do this. I'm locking into this commitment But you know what in the grand scheme of things they do sound better and they are way more comfortable If they had like a subscription service as stupid as this sound should have one though They should have one because soylent has a subscription service. Yeah, like well I mean one of our sponsors Dollar Shave Club like If you told if Dollar Shave Club came to us and they're like, yeah, we have this great idea You're gonna buy razors online. I'd be like, wow, you're an idiot. That's a terrible idea That's a terrible idea but the whole subscription model makes it actually work really well because You're committing a small amount of money spread out over a long period of time And then you don't have to think about it because to me it's really about the hassle I'll tell you what if anyone from comply is watching if you guys figure out a subscription model where it like I just get A new set of tips once a quarter or something like that and it's inexpensive And like I get a discount for being like part of the club kind of like what again one of our other sponsors five-four Where they take their store and they basically go? Okay Look you sign up for the subscription and you have half price off of MSRP and we send it to you once a month Like if comply figures out something like that Where they get the commitment from me so they can rely on the business and I get a discount and the convenience I will commit and I will start using comply tips. That's why recently came out of their like beta phase. They're now selling normally Beta food. I know with the way beta tests go like Well, they have they have FCC approved even though that's still kind of sketchy, but they do have a nutritional label now and all that kind of stuff So that's kind of good. They have a nutritional label But nutritional labels are just numbers This is not going to end like ever We need a t-shirt resolution is just a number and then it should be all like pixelated and shitty looking Yeah, that's actually not a bad idea Guys, let us know if we need to do that. You know what? I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna just jump on this We have to make that t-shirt need that resolution is just a number t-shirt resolution is just a number just like yeah, and the text should look crappy Okay, I'm sending that to Edzel. I'm trying to think of some way that you can include just like FPS is just a number It's too long. It would be too It would be too long for one long and then for two the only way that I can think of that you could style it properly would be like Liking the word the letters out. Yeah, just look really weird Yeah, and like if you want the the words to be low res enough to kind of get the joke It's gonna be pretty big. They'll take up space. You can actually read it and stuff. So yeah resolution is just a number t-shirt We're gonna we're gonna get on that you guys. Yeah, I'm sorry our t-shirt supply chain takes so long We're looking into some other options. So stay tuned on that you guys yeah, but yeah So they they win subscription service recently and I think that's really smart because a big problem with that whole thing Sorry, we're back to talking about soylent. Yeah, I've lost. I had to think about it for a second. What is he talking? Subscription condoms Probably it probably does it would make you feel really in like it wouldn't it make you feel crappy when you start to get a stockpile And you'd be like, oh, I'm Very well here There's you know how I sometimes try and find like people that want to do pre-rolls and stuff like that I was watching it. Yeah, this is gonna go there. I was watching an old archive of one of the young Turks videos On some topic. I don't even remember why I was watching it But their sponsor for the video was some condom website and I thought about it and I'd like written the email being like Maybe we should contact them and I was like No, cuz I was like well our target audience would be so big for them Wait, because they all have large penises. Well, I mean you probably do Yeah, but I meant more the male Yeah, we should totally do it. Why not? I did I wasn't a huge fan of the website Okay, if it was like a better service or a better website, then I probably would have actually sent the email but it was Okay. Okay. Yeah, cuz if we can find I guess I will there's the challenge if we can find a not sketch Yeah online condom seller Well, like directs wouldn't be sketch, but then it would have to be like a subscription service to them or whatever Yeah, so and like I don't know if that's gonna work. But anyways back to swillin again My biggest problem with it is like the second you run out you're like, okay Well, I'm gonna have to wait two weeks or something until I get more right time Did not be using this for a while, right? Cuz you can't you can never be on cycle properly. Can you ever actually test it? Yeah, exactly So now they actually have a subscription thing you can sign up for a month or whatever weeks or I don't know I didn't really look that's a far into it But you can get a subscription and they're like, yeah It'll show up a little bit before the end because it's not that big of a deal because this stuff lasts for like Years before it expires. So it'll show up before you're out and you're good It's like okay cool. And then if you listen to everything he just said and you imagine he's talking about condoms That works too actually all of that would have been accurate wouldn't it? I was paying attention Awesome, I mean whenever we're talking about condoms, I'm definitely paying attention. All right, so this is a topic SSOELE Dude, you know what? Normally we don't we don't know normally don't change people's names on the forum Like it's kind of against forum policy But if if he or she ever wants to message me and get a name change We will take care of that for you so that I can pronounce your name when you post things that are helpful like this Siole whatever anyway, the point is excuse me. The point is that Noctua Has released penis size is just a number And the entire twitch chat exploded. Oh My god, that's awesome. Maybe we should have a low-res penis on the resolution Well, it's like small enough that you can't really make out what it is Yeah, yeah, like a low-res cock and balls like right under the in the corner It's like it just looks like an underline. Yeah, so it's just like four squares, right? Oh You know, I don't think I've ever used that word on the stream no probably Probably shouldn't. All right. So Noctua has new fans coming you guys This is pretty freaking exciting new fans in new colors Although the way the internet exploded about this news Kind of made me feel like they didn't really watch our Computex coverage from last year like one year ago We broke this news showed off all these fans And it takes Noctua a year this is what I like about Noctua they don't seem to care about making money No, they just don't they just like So many so many fan companies or cooler makers you look at them and you just kind of go, you know I wish they would just give up their precious money and Spend a bunch of money making like a really great quality fan, which they probably make a lot of money which well No, I don't think so because Like the you look at how much Noctua spends on the packaging, you know And you can't have a premium brand without having good packaging. I think this has been proven time and time again I'm not criticizing them for spending money on packaging. You have to so they've got their premium packaging They've got actually legitimately well-built products the amount of R&D. I mean it took them a year to get these to market I don't think they were working. Yes Yeah, I don't think their margin is any better than any other fan maker and if I had to guess I would guess it's probably worse So like on a bomb cost basis like you look at what the other guys can afford to spend on marketing Whereas we go to Noctua and we're like, hey, you know, we love your products You know We would have no problem shilling the heck out of them because we think they're great and they just kind of go like We don't really have a marketing budget. So Yeah, we thank you for loving our products. We'll send you as many of our products as you want Which is kind of awesome, which is great Which actually is them all the time. That was all we really wanted anyway, but I Don't remember where I was going with this right right right So I love that they just have the balls to have a product that's pretty much ready to rock like a year ago Take a year to bring it out because that's how long it takes to get it perfect and I'm assuming it's perfect They are in the mail, but we don't have them yet but anyway the Redux line takes away some of the little extras like rubber grommets and Brings back some of the older designs that we haven't seen in a while like the older s12 Non-redux and cost them down a little bit to make Noctua quality a little bit more affordable, which I think is great But then nope. Oh, these are the ones that have my attention I mean we're talking $30 plus a fan for industrial grade Noctua fans and they're black and they just have little brown accents and they have all the way up to IP 67 water and dust proofness. They're available at a couple of different RPM levels and holy balls. These are exciting because I well that it's the only fan they look really sharp that really matters if you want the Again, I haven't even touched them yet But because of Noctua's reputation I'm comfortable saying they're gonna be the only fan in terms of the highest possible quality PC fan experience that you're gonna be wanting to look at so and those those rubber Accents on the end can one probably be changed in color pretty easily. Yep, and two they're removable So that'll be even more easy to change the color and and they're the dark dark brown Yes, not the light brown that a lot of people complain about anyways. Yeah, I'm alright with the color I don't mind it. It's like a chocolate color as opposed to like like a digestive problem And if a Sue stops making golden motherboards If you don't feel okay a Sue's his mother boards, I'll have you know are the gold standard and that is why they're gold Speaking of a Sue's is JJ ever gonna join us here I we haven't had our video chat open so I don't even know if he has Has tried to send a friend request or anything I don't see any requests and I don't see any emails from the the J Meister So maybe JJ will join us next week. I don't know. Oh, you know We never showed the results of that straw poll that we ended up crashing the stream over wanting to show them Are you happy with your ISP? Wow a Third of the people say yes, remember though our time zone for this show is very well lined up with Australia They should definitely be answering no all of them Anyone from Australia go back and change your answer A full 24% said cucumber I you know what? I'm gonna say cucumber because you don't put multi options. Do you? Nope. Nope You have to choose one option. You got to commit. Yes. No or cucumber We haven't even covered anything we didn't really have much of a show lined up today because we were expecting JJ to talk to us We've talked about stuff we talked about FCC we talked about watch dogs we talked about We talked about not to a fans. Okay. Well, let's talk about how Xbox one is Slightly less unfair now So they did a couple of things here that I think I would look at and say wow That's really commendable if they weren't so terrible in the first place So number one is the fact that and honestly, I've never owned an Xbox. Okay. No, I have owned an Xbox I Have an Xbox 360 and an Xbox one. Okay, I do I own two As they were both for not for really personally as much I could have used them but you didn't right So one of the biggest issues that I had from day one like when I found out as a PC gamer Traditionally anyway, this was posted on the forum by Raffi When I found out as a PC gamer that they had an Xbox live gold membership that I had to have to like Update my profile or voice chat with people or play multiplayer. I was just like what are you? Are you high? Like are you stupid? Like if we just and I kind of said at the time I remember saying at the time look if we all just boycott this It'll go away like that Instantly, it'll go away because they have to sell consoles and they have to sell games and if we refuse if we just all stand There and not pay for it. Those subscription fees will go away Looks like it's happening Microsoft is getting a little desperate and then the other thing that's terrible in the first place is the fact that the Kinect which was Forced to be bundled with the Xbox one. You were forced to buy one if you wanted Xbox one Is now an option and I mean connect is just It's one of those things where you know what a hundred dollar Delta and I wanted an Xbox one I would probably buy the Kinect option. I have a young family for kids. You know what? Casual Kinect games I would rather and you and this is like This is like that kind of thing that the gaming community makes fun of and I wholeheartedly agree with you guys It's all kind of silly and you'd have the control of being able to stand in your kitchen And when your kid won't get off the Xbox just be like Xbox off Like it's one of those things where I would rather my kids play at a game that at least has them waving their arm around if Nothing else. I don't I don't want to see I don't want to see my son Like flax dog left us for four hours at a time It's one of those things like I don't know like I did it as a kid I turned out alright, but at the same time I just I don't know it just seems like Can happen you just probably want a mix of things I would my parents are cool with it But I was extremely active. I was in tons of sports and all this kind of right But then I would also lay completely across the couch and play more win for days on it, right? So like I don't know I don't know what the right answer is But I but I will say that if I was gonna buy the kids an Xbox game I would rather like, you know dance off challenge or whatever versus like, you know blood blood sport 16 kind of call duty Seven yeah, call of duty like space edition or whatever that don't worry. The amoebas have AI. Yeah We got like a big-time actor to put in the trailer because we don't know what else to do Who just plays a character that he is no matter what definitely very recently played like no differences Have you watched that at all? Yes, I have yeah, I'm just like wow Wow Why is this even a video game? Why don't we just make it a movie then at this point? I legitimately looked up to see if he was actually playing the same character Like I was wondering if they had made a deal with Netflix or something to like integrate the show into the game I was like, oh, that's kind of interesting. That's an interesting idea. No It's like oh, okay Guess not. So anyway, I I don't remember where we were going with this but So you'll be able to buy the Kinect separately later this fall you can get the console for $100 cheaper without Kinect someone's calling me and Something else right Xbox Gold is no longer required for popular entertainment experiences like Netflix and Hulu Plus You know that's baffling to me. Why did you ever need that in the first place? Yeah, and I can't imagine that Netflix Hulu Plus and those guys really wanted that to be there at all They're probably been pushing against it as well. But what can they do right? Yeah, you know I used to play Halo 2 online so I had to have a gold subscription and what I would do is I would have my whole friends list written out and then every single time that You know, you might some of my one month you were a sucker every time I'm one month would close You would get a one month free if you made a new MSN account So I had my whole friends list written out I'm not gonna go into what I did from there your friends must have but I had a hard That is so annoying They all it's the first. Okay, Luke's friggin I'm gonna have to read him cuz he's a jack-a-bum poo head I was like I was paying for my games at that point in time and like there's no way I'm gonna pay that much money For this stupid online subscription that I don't want to do and they're like there's no way your parents are gonna buy that for you No, no III I've met here. I've spent enough time with his parents to be like, yeah, they're pretty supportive but like you figure it out Yeah, I paid for I played at EverQuest back in the day. I paid for those I paid for those monthlies Wow why you got into Eve online because you could earn your subscription fee. Yeah Wow subscriptions, I think my parents helped me out a little bit though, but then it was my brother my dad and I and we all played together Right. Well, that's came and played with us sometimes too and stuff. So it was like we're all yeah That was kind of cool and for a lot of times we even shared an account right all three of us. So Yeah, all right. So, you know, what's funny is there was a post in this thread So this was originally posted by tech fanatic on the forum Thank you very much for posting that said that like ha ha ha Linus was so down on AMD's free sync Lol show, you know goes to show him and I was a little bit confused by that Was I ever at any point down on free sync a little bit? What did I say? I said it wasn't gonna work. But then I think you I said it wouldn't work with the scalers now Yeah, and I'm pretty sure specific words were current form and I said that that was Nvidia saying that yeah Um, and I know I know that you said it won't work in its current form and when the news first broke on Nantech I actually posted that to Facebook and I was like, holy crap. Does this completely invalidate g-sync's existence? Yeah, so I don't know where all this came from but I am totally a hundred percent on board with AMD's free sync now called ActiSync there's one thing that I'm a little bit sketched out about so far and that was doing some reading It's not a hundred percent clear to me what cards it's gonna work on because it looks like they're saying r9 290 X and 260 X which would basically be Hawaii Version, whatever it is the new ones So not the rebadges of the Tahiti core ones Which would really saw which would be really sucky and then there's no mention of Nvidia cards now what I think is is AMD's whole stance lately has been open standards this and that so I sincerely hope that it's an open standard But I would hate to see it happen where Nvidia is pushing a g-sync standard and AMD's pushing an adaptive sync standard and we end up with monitors that support one or the other or both Because and this is something I have criticized Nvidia about Asking people to lock into something is kind of sucky I do understand that if you develop the technology like they basically built their own scalar hardware for monitors It's not just a software trick. I mean if you're developing the technology I understand that you want to benefit from it and the only way you're gonna benefit from it is a license fee to the monitor Guys and selling more graphics cards to go with those monitors, but that doesn't mean I have to be happy about it And I I think that it will be definitely the wrong path if both of them try to do that I mean the good news about adaptive sync is unlike g-sync It looks like it's gonna be a very simple implementation. So anything with DisplayPort 1.2a Will have adaptive sync as part of the VESA standard Which which pretty much I mean, you know, don't don't quote me on this six months down the line Really don't quote me on this But if that happens Active sync is gonna just be in any monitor with a DisplayPort port because remember guys DisplayPort is free to implement on your monitor Compared to the license fees associated with HDMI So it'll just support active sync and I really don't know what the future of g-sync will be one thing that Nvidia did say openly was that we really want the gaming experience to be better and That's why we made this technology So I really hope that if they managed to move the industry forward that they still feel good about themselves And that we all still remember who did it So that's I guess all I have to say about that Yeah, and I say the same thing it's not because you know, I've got you know a raging, you know Hard on for Nvidia. It's because I do appreciate anyone who pushes the industry forward I don't have a ton of love for Apple But I appreciate that they pushed resolution forward even though they pushed resolution forward Even though they don't even make displays. Why did it take Apple to develop the retina concept? Boy and like I appreciate other things they do like the fact that they focus on accurate color for their displays Whereas everyone else other than Google seems to be and HTC is doing a better job lately I mean, well, everyone's doing a better job lately, but Apple started it And so I think we just all need to appreciate the guys who innovate even if that innovation isn't Inventing or actually building something if it's just awareness and making people understand that something needs to happen So there that's what I have to say about that. I guess there's some other stuff in there isn't there something about like Potentially display port 1.3 as well. I will display for one three three will be able to support 8k Although it'll have to change the connector to build support each 8k or 4k 3d So that's not necessarily tied into the actual adaptive sync thing that's just talking about future display port connect And if anyone wants an explanation of adaptive sync, basically what it means is that your monitor will only refresh when your graphics card Outputs a signal so it's just like g-sync and it will reduce tearing and leg and it really does make a very big difference it's like Fantastic low persistence is cool, man Yeah And low persistence on top of that is gonna turn the LCD gaming experience into finally Legitimately better than a CRT gaming experience. Yeah, you know people were talking about many years later This is totally off-topic Completely, but you know how people were talking about how our office was dirty in the office to our video Yes, have you seen Palmer's office? No. Oh my god There's just like the the side of his desk There's like an angled pile of garbage that goes all the way up and touches the top of his desk on both sides and then on both sides of the door, there's just like Stuff and none of it's like none of it necessarily looks like you should throw it away. It's just Stuff just all over the place the whole top of his desk There's a laptop sitting like angled on top of a bunch of books Okay, hold on. Is the top of his desk worse than my desk was back at NCIX? You remember the piles of paper that I used to have on my desk, right? I think they're like, I don't know cuz I didn't get like a top-down view. I got it from the side But that's got to be one of the closest to your desk I've ever seen like it's it's insanity and there's like an interview going on in there and he's just like yeah, whatever I don't even care the number the number of people 8k is just a number The number of people telling us that are asking why we didn't clean up the office before we did a tour. Oh you guys The number of hours that went into cleanup before that tour happened You Wouldn't have even believed this place there was like okay here I'm gonna put this in perspective for a minute all that stuff in the garage was in the house Okay. Yeah, so that's step one step number two all of the shelves the one in Luke's office and the ones downstairs for the camera Equipment we're in the house or not. Sorry. We didn't have The table that was on the floor. Yeah, the table that was out in the garage That's just like a dining room table that has like pedestal style feed under it So there's like not really any room under it That was what we were using in place of where Brandon's shelf is so like all the stuff that's on that shelf was either on that Under it or on the floor in the in the fastest possible green screen area Sometimes when we had to shoot a fastest possible we legit had to like rearrange the piles of stuff on the floor So the lights could illuminate the green screen correctly You guys have no idea like it's actually everyone around here has been marveling lately at how easy it is to work right now It's it's it's quite amazing You can walk in a straight line for at least two seconds without running into anything Yeah, and before like shuffling your foot forward would have ran into something I think Brandon's agility has leveled up at least six levels since he started working here because that guy He almost said the cables He almost ended up with the nickname cables if we hadn't started calling him b-roll before we started calling him Cables he would have been cables for sure because that guy When he first started working here you put a cable in a room. He would trip over. Oh, yeah Yeah, 100% like the number of times he has almost destroyed the Sony fs 700 camera the $8,000 camera I can probably count on more than one hand Yeah, because of like tripping on something or hooking it on something and like and then oh man There's this one time when he didn't lock the tripod head Oh, no, and it it was going down so fast that I swear the lens mount would have broken or something and then he's like, oh and he caught it Uh, yeah, and like he's learned the the foot flick. Yeah, the foot flick most nerds that I know know Which is when you're like walking across and you trip on traditionally an ethernet cable But it could be anything could be power your foot goes under it and then you fall forward Whip your foot back and then slam it forward so you can land and you're okay. You look kind of weird, but you're okay But it doesn't pull on the cable. He's learned guide. We should do we should do a guide How to navigate like we noticed a lot of you were upset about the number of cables in our office Let's show you a little trick. It's called the foot flick The foot flick would be awesome. It should be like a music video I've always kind of wanted to do a music video Everybody do the foot flick everybody do the foot flick That would be fantastic. All right. Well, we should probably do our sponsor spots or something at some point here So you buy foot flick bought to you by foot flick Squarespace the number one website for creating a website about foot flicks Just go to squarespace.com sign up and you can have your website online in just a matter of no time It'll look great on the desktop great on the notebook Which is basically the same thing and great on your tablet and smartphone because the way that their templates work makes it super easy to get set up And something I always forget to mention they have 24 7 tech support. Yeah, I always forget about this That is actually a huge deal. It is it's not phone support mind you but you can email them and I've actually I had my mom tried them And even though like my mom still didn't manage to figure it out Like they I read the responses and they were like super helpful and like really fast I was just like ma you have to you have to read it You can't just get an email from an internet company assume you're not going to be able to read it and then call me You have to try to read it like they they they they explain like if you just read the thing anyway My mother aside Squarespace is super easy to use super scalable And apparently based on how much positive feedback I get about Squarespace you guys love it So the number of people that have just sent me tweets thanking me for the the 10% off So if you head over to Squarespace comm slash Linus and use offer code Linus you can save 10% So people thanking me for the 10% off and people telling me how much they love it and how easy it is to use compared to WordPress or other services like that you can set up a portfolio you can set up a blog you can set up even a web store So they have an e-commerce module and it's all compared to actually coding a website from scratch It's basically drag and drop to the point where our designer did Linus media group.com as opposed to having him Linus media group.com so they've got their logo designer they've got their tech support They've got the fact that it's easy to use and the fact that you can just hit it as hard as you want And the plans are very very scalable and they don't go down. So there you go guys Squarespace.com. We absolutely love it And the discount 10% yes, it is just a number Thanks Squarespace we appreciate you guys we love you and inside joke for whoever from Squarespace is is is watching this Right now I think that's pretty much the end of the joke there. So let's move on to our next our next monster message You weren't there. No idea. Total inside joke. Okay. He's gonna he's gonna freak out He's gonna be like dude, really? Okay, so the Asus g750 jz as far as gaming laptops goes with go Without getting into the ones that are like so thick they legitimately don't fit into backpacks In fact, I actually have Asus's purpose-built what did I just drop? Hopefully nothing important. Nope So I have Asus's purpose-made ROG laptop that actually goes with the g750 jz or any other similar Asus gaming notebook That's also well this size. Um, where was I going with this? Right? Yes So it's the gaming laptop that without going into kind of the ludicrous specs is a pretty much as good as you can get It's got Oh, I didn't even mean to I was doing so good. I will give you 50 cents to go away I'm sorry I had to. Oh man. I was doing so good and then he said ludicrous You have just like boom. You completely derailed me Okay, so I'm trying to talk about this laptop here So without getting into the ones that are absolutely crazy run crazy hot and get like 30 minutes of battery life The g750 jz is about as powerful as you can get the onboard graphics I mean, okay, I shouldn't say on board the built-in graphics are a GTX 880m Which is actually about equivalent to a GTX 770 desktop card and then the onboard CPU onboard CPU I'm even saying these things you just you threw me for a loop here I was doing so good. I lifted up my laptop. I put it back down. I sat here I just like looked around in the background and then all right Well, I'm just gonna have to make my way through this as best I can here So the cooling is fantastic good enough that we can actually run these laptops on our laps and wow I just got the 50 cent reference Okay Do we have our composure? Okay This laptop is very powerful. It's portable. It's fast. It runs really cool It's high quality because it's made by a sues has got a great overall fit and finish to it We found that it's great for video editing. It's great for gaming It has a surprisingly excellent price to performance ratio compared to thin and light gaming notebooks and even compared to a desktop It's not as far off as we've traditionally seen in the past You should check out the g750 jz if you need something that is while not super thin and light Still portable and will deliver a truly great gaming experience I mean we were able to run Bioshock infinite on ultra you were able to run pretty much everything you threw at it. Yeah, like desktop grade specs I did normal benchmarking sets for good graphics cards. So maximum everything is yeah like Luke has different Presets for the games depending on what kind of a tier of product we're running Yeah, and so we were able to run all of the like enthusiast class tears and without the laptop Something to tears. I'm missing the word there bursting into tears. Yeah, although that would be like water-cooled Next level laptops. They burst into tears when you put them into under performance. We need the snacks on this show Do you have any M&Ms? No, actually Oh, I was like what of course not? Oh my goodness Oh, yeah, okay. I was I was actually trying I was like I didn't prep my jay-z joke this week which like needed some prep So I was like, I'll just let him go and this week will be a calm week and then nope, not at all. Not at all He said ludicrous. I didn't even mean to on that one. I know I didn't even think of it That wasn't even the spelling that was in my head. Nope All right, so posted on the forum by someone anyway This is an article from an on tech the shield gets portal and half-life too Which here if you want to run through this with everyone I'm gonna go get the like epic Nvidia swag that they sent over here where you can find it It's a little bit higher up there. I don't think there's really actually that much to say about how amazing it is Yeah, it's it's kind of awesome. I really appreciate that. They're bringing this back because honestly it's been a really long time since it came out so you could probably play it again and it would be totally fine and Having it on the shield is definitely something where you just play it while you're like Go to bed and it's not actually that big of a deal. Um, if you get portal and half-life two together It's about ten bucks on Android, which is actually awesome because that's about the same price as they are on Steam, which is fantastic This is just way too cool. We have to show this like now. Yeah, I know right I was so stoked when this came in I guess he's got to get hooked up first when it first launched it ran on an ATI X 800 Pro or Slash XT or Nvidia 6800 ultra or GT and that tiger for chip should theoretically be faster That's incredible. And that's not even Tegra K1 yet. No Tegra K1 is like right around the corner Yeah, they're already leaking stuff for shield to which I'll be running it, which is extremely exciting So we're at the point where Nvidia has done a lot of gum flapping about, you know console grade gaming experience on mobile But you look at how long they've been at this like ever since the whole the original Tegra and the Tegra 2 They've been saying look, this is where we're trying to get to It's actually kind of cool. It's actually happening. Yep. It's actually happening And Half-Life 2 is finally like Half-Life 2, Portal 2, this kind of stuff They're actually games that I really legitimately want to play on the device I mean the funny thing is as soon as I heard the announcement that Portal 2 was going to be coming I think two days prior I had finished playing Portal using GameStream. Yeah. Yeah It's like so yeah, I just played through I played through the entire game on my shield with GameStream It was awesome. Yeah, you didn't have any downsides. Didn't have any issues But anyway, okay, so this this was sent to us from Nvidia They hadn't like given us any preparation for what it was gonna have anything to do with so it's basically just a painted crowbar It came in like this enormous box with way too much anti-static bubble packaging Yeah, I guess when you're Nvidia the only package all you have is anti-static But there you go. So it's a what would Gordon do crowbar with a Half-Life 2 lambda and An Nvidia shield logo on it. So this is freaking cool This will definitely live on the wall of epic that we need to recreate back here because we seriously need to redo the land show set Oh definitely. It's absolutely horrible. That's one of the coolest pieces of swag I've like ever seen. Yeah. 100% Pretty pretty amazing. Whoever thought that was a good idea was was on the money. Was not stupid. Nope. Yay Good job. The better than useless award the not stupid award That should be the only award that award that we can possibly give out We should never have any other awards other than better than worthless. Better than worthless or better than better than all the terrible words Yeah, so we can just change whenever but it's essentially the same. Better than putting nails in my eye Okay, so this article from Digital Journal, honestly, it's not the best article I've ever read and I don't know Like I hate to I hate to generalize about people but like this author needs a better portrait James if you're watching Dude Please like it's like selfie bad And it's like selfie and like it looks like he took it on his webcam because you can see his screens reflected in his eyeglasses Yeah, it's just like yeah, he must have to you. Yeah. No, see you can see yeah I'm like a really old kind of crappy laptop webcam. Yeah, so James, please please fix that It's I mean, it's not it's not that it's not that bad But basically the point of the article which is you know, like it's it's actually pretty thorough for all of my for all my criticisms Is that the NSA and GCHQ are working on Tor basically and it is not as impenetrable as some people would like to believe The main way that they are getting at your data and tracking you is through browser plugins which still work with Tor So things like flash and Java that are well known to have vulnerabilities that just are gaping That being that being said a lot of people that I know that try and set up secure setups That aren't running Java or flash and they're running a combination of other things like there's there's you have to have a whole suite Well, yeah, and the thing is that most of the community that was using Tor already Probably is doing that but we're talking about more mainstream people hearing about Tor and kind of going oh But then I still want to watch my YouTube videos. So If you're unsure about all that kind of stuff, look it up. There's guides on how to like properly set up your browser If you want to be anonymous and it's still you're still at a huge amount of risk But it's it's gonna be a lot better than just running Tor So the Tor network has not been cracked but there are an increasing number of sites that are being hijacked Dot dot onion sites that are being hijacked by law enforcement agencies and recording details of people that are visiting the sites And sending them to the NSA So there you go guys. He Hmm. Hmm. Yeah, so you're not safe anywhere I'm beginning to think that my like technophobe sister might have been right about all of this Like she just she didn't even want a smartphone. She doesn't want a computer. Just like no pen and paper I was when I was doing research for that video that I'm working on right now I ran into something and I started asking questions about it I was like, I feel like a tin hatter when I'm asking a few of these questions, but then that's probably okay. Yeah Because of what's been happening lately. That's probably entirely fine And I might not even be that far off. So I'm gonna let you handle this. Are you sure? Yeah I kind of want you to read through part of this. No, I don't really want to you don't want to read through this. All right, go So Oculus Rift is being used to or the idea of Oculus Rift is being used to give chickens a free-range style lifestyle So they set up an Oculus Rift mix it in like a second life kind of idea And they can make the chicken think that even though it's confined into a coop. It actually has a free-range roaming identity Really VR for chickens Like really? What do you think about this? I think that as concepts go it seems more like a publicity stunt for VR in general And less of a practical thing. I mean we are so many bajillion years away from a product like Oculus being able to be miniaturized And costed down enough to put them on chickens. I mean it's stupid I want chickens to have good lives, but I don't think VR is the solution Well, there's two things one I don't think it's actually going to give you the benefits of free-range because they're still confined to the thing And a lot of free-range stuff is the fact that they can run around all kind of stuff and two I'm it's not real Oh, is this fake? Yeah, okay. The whole point of the article was to see how many people they can convince Okay, so I thought you had maybe seen that but I don't think so anymore, but everyone watching I bet a lot of people actually kind of thought that that was legit And you know what it maybe could be but I read quite a few places it is not So like yeah, but that's bad and the fact that that sounds super realistic is really bad Because imagine how many people you could sell free-range chickens to Next they're just going to like strap a TV to the front of the cage and be like yeah Free-range, it has like a field on it They can see the field which makes them think they're in the field Done Alright, so I actually kind of well when we were supposed to have JJ on here I kind of realized we have like barely talked about Intel's new Z97 and H97 chipsets like at all So as usual Z versus H means that Z is overclockable and H is not so much The 9 series chipsets offer increased data transfer speeds for storage drives now supporting the M.2 specification allowing them to drive 2 PCIe 2.0 lanes to the M.2 drive giving it a total of about 1 GB per second of bandwidth compared to about 600 MB per second of bandwidth available over SATA 3 Okay, the same connectivity options are basically there so 14 USB ports 6 of which can be USB 3 up to 6 SATA 3 or 6 GB per second ports An integrated gigabit ethernet controller 8 PCIe 2.0 lanes I believe that's all off of the chipset because you have 16 lanes off of the CPU something along those lines They have upgraded smart response technology SRT so they're supporting hybrid hard drives with integrated flash storage so previously the feature required separate hard drives and SSDs on separate connectors so I think there's one drive to which that's applicable the WD black squared Okay Broadwell so new CPUs like legitimate new CPUs are not coming until sometime next year probably about a year from now and those will bring a 30% increase in power efficiency and Z97 at least some of the boards are advertising that they will have support for Broadwell In the meantime we get Haswell refresh as well as Devil's Canyon so Intel has improved the thermal interface material on the CPU so that they're going to run cooler and the word on the street is that Z97 boards even before we put overclockable Haswell refresh processors on them are overclocking a little better and have the CPUs running cooler and I think that is pretty much it except we were supposed to have JJ on to talk about this stuff He's an extremely busy man I know well it's true he's like super crazy oh oh oh hey there we go oh just oh oh oh just got back to the office out of the office due to an emergency it took longer at the event location just got back into the office okay well maybe we'll have him join us I think we've only got about 10-15 more minutes left on the show so guys you know maybe what we'll do is we'll have JJ on next week I can't say 100% because it will depend on his scheduling but I know you guys will probably want to hear from him about what Asus has done that's amazing in the last little while that is what you will hear that is what you will hear I mean he's he's so knowledgeable so you know I look forward to having him on the show I wish he'd been able to make it this week but there you go well you get that loaded up I have to call it a tweet some guy tweeted me I bet you could get two packs of M&Ms for 50 cents yeah no no no no no that was pretty good he didn't fit Jay-Z in though so I don't know you can have three points three points not ten points yeah alright posted on the forum by Alex goes hi LG G3 press renders leaked these look pretty sweet and then the completely impartial and unbiased headline says best looking phone of the year so here we go phone arena was the original poster I like the new design of the volume up down and power buttons so that's back here yeah because the one thing I didn't like about the power button before was it was a strip right which wasn't it was it was fine like it wasn't a big deal I didn't even bother bring it up because it didn't matter that much but this does look nicer so I also will go through these renders like okay so there's a thing there and there's some stuff uh-huh it reminds you a lot of that doesn't it yeah and why is everyone doing gold phones please like can you can everyone please stop following Apple like what makes Apple a leader the fact that everyone follows them like and it's and it's a stupid idea I'm not being an Apple fanboy by calling them a leader I think the idea was bad I think the idea was bad and the people following it should feel bad that's all I'm trying to say motherboards just stop it gold is gaudy yeah I'm sorry people with class wear white gold gold is awesome I just alienated like everyone but a metal I'm sorry gold is awesome it comes in like a metal yeah like if I had like if I had like a gold if I'd like a gold brick or like yeah something I can't think of too many other things I would like to actually be yellow gold like some sort of Boolean or a metal or a trophy yeah all of that's super yeah trophies should be gold yeah I'll settle for a brass I've never won a trophy in my life so I'd settle for any trophy really but you know what I I don't know that I agree with the best phone of the year thing because not because this looks better but because it looks like the same damn thing like it actually just doesn't really look any different to me I don't I don't see the difference and maybe I'm just not picky enough but like brushed metal back I like how it looks but you're not wrong it looks pretty much the same and and I would if everything else is equal if they're the same price and they basically look the same front-facing speakers man it is such a big deal and it is so disappointing one of my complaints about the g3 is if I held it in the right particular way sorry g2 g2 sorry yeah yeah if I held it in the right wrong way it would cover up the speakers and essentially manually mute the phone yeah because I would be covering up the speakers I couldn't hear it anymore it was kind of annoying yeah and another ergonomic thing that people might not necessarily agree with me about but it's that I don't like bottom-mounted headphone jacks anymore I complained about this in my one m8 review but I actually didn't properly explain what I don't like about it like I said sorry is it the car thing car thing because you put your phone in oh that's another reason but no that I don't like it because of cars because if you plug your stuff in the bottom and you try and put it in cup holder oh that's another good point oh okay no I was talking about what's more natural for me to put it in my pocket so that I'm not putting strain on the connector and so and not just that but that because that you could train yourself one way or the other but I like to have it right side up in my pocket so I can pull it out of my pocket and glance at it okay and then the other thing that I didn't explain very well is that if you have something plugged into the bottom of the phone and you're using it right side up it's kind of in your way and not so much on the one m8 if you're right handed because it's it could kind of come down here but using the iPhone 5s something I forgot to include in my review where it's on the left it sits right under my pinky so when I'm typing it's like right in the way especially if you have a right angle connector on your headphones just like I do yeah which isn't that uncommon both of these have it yeah actually yeah Sony CEO and executives are taking a 50% pay cut with no bonuses they've lost money for out of the last five years this is posted on the forum by top war gamer the original article is from IGN and I yeah you know what top war gamer I think you nailed it I'm surprised it took you this long to do it it's almost like a knee-jerk reaction to oh well Nintendo's doing this yeah therefore maybe that's the honorable thing to do okay I mean I don't understand why an executive gets a bonus if the company isn't hugely profitable the my favorite ones and read hate massively is when the company is like failing and going bankrupt and they're like massive exiting bonus yeah it's like no that shouldn't be legal I really I really wish that this mobile site yeah I wish this wasn't the mobile site but aside from that I mean I I don't know I don't know how you can ever enforce something like that because it all just becomes like yeah you know just like buddy club where it's like yeah let's all make lots of money that sounds great yeah I think that's a great idea to bonus for you bonus for you bonuses for everyone but I just think it's wrong I just think it is so wrong that when you are not making money okay it's one thing to okay I'll use you know the business terms to streamline your workforce and you know be profitable and make money because you cut a bunch of jobs no one likes that but I kind of get it the company is profitable you're still you're maintaining your sales target you're doing the company things that you need to do which is to make money it's another thing when you are cutting jobs or not cutting jaw okay it's I guess it's better if you're not cutting jobs and okay no hold on if you are we'll get there we'll get there yeah yeah so okay right so if you're making money that's one thing if you're you know cutting jobs or even not cutting jobs and you're not making money you shouldn't be getting a bonus yeah because a bonus should be tied to performance and if the company is not making money then the leadership is not performing because leadership is responsible for everyone like if he does something stupid ultimately who gets a cease and desist or who gets a complaint it will be me because I'm responsible for him so if he does something great then I should get a bonus but if he does something crappy then I'm the one who has to deal with it because ultimately I'm responsible for what he does and that's how leadership works that's what taking responsibility for things is supposed to look like and so I don't understand why it took so long and I'm frustrated that that's a thing and I guess I'm not really going anywhere with this now but the point is thank you guys for tuning into the WAN show I hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we did I'm surprised there's so many people watching it's the weather's beautiful here maybe the weather sucks there in which case I'm sorry to hear that but I think also a bunch of finals ending ah yes there's still some more coming a little bit later if you guys are have finals later than this I'm sorry holy crap that sucks but yeah thank you everybody for tuning in that was awesome alright peace out guys someone will get it
