 And like what is happening is pretty much the best start we could have possibly expected for a show where We both look and feel totally normal the same right now as we always do Thank you for covering for me there. I was almost gonna give away our secret. Yeah, I like your outfit by the way I like your outfit. I think how did you get like the how are these straight? Straight like it looks like it minor curly didn't you get curly once no no I store my curly ones somewhere else But I'm Okay, cool someone did actually link it I was like what no I'm I'm wearing a completely different wig from you That's why time looks different. This is a leftover from that thing we did with with Josh from fractal on the and the hair is getting in my mouth I Knew the pink one was as long as the curly hair doesn't but I'm in like the straight part of the pink one Oh, really? I didn't even know that yeah, it has like rainbow bangs. Yep, that's pretty cool Rainbow bangs my friend rainbow bang alright, so let's go up some random stuff before you get going really I use some extra time. Oh, can we do the folding team update exactly what I was gonna do? Yeah, let's do the folding team update so the folding team is now 26 in the whole freaking world That's awesome anyways we are among top top 10 for active folding teams So some of those teams don't have active members anymore And we are among the top 10 highest point producing teams for all of our members together my members are always the most active consistently putting out 10 million points per day or PPD a lot of new members have been signing up in the last couple months I suggest you do as well and I don't know who put this in there, but folding hardware can double as whole home heating So you want to do the opposite of whole room water cooling? Whole room heating by computers fill your room with them and run them a hundred percent all the time Maybe someone who's trying to like become an engineering student should convince their computer to do that They need a whole bunch of computers and a whole bunch of like copper tubing and stuff and Recreate homeroom water cooling in their house using folding machines for the line of sight that's folding team. Yeah No, I mean we don't actually Necessarily recommend that but we do recommend is staying tuned for the rest of the show We got lots of good stuff for you guys. There's some HTC one M9 Actually some pretty cool news coming about that We're also getting a much much clearer idea of what the r9 390 X is going to look like in its final form What else we got? I have no idea. Oh We have Microsoft is not necessarily free for pirates Windows 10 is what I think you're trying to say Windows 10 is not necessarily for pirates, which is not too surprising at all We'll talk about that more later on and there was a Japanese supercomputer that was able to simulate one second of brain activity Wow That's actually in a lot more than one second, right? But they talk they calculated the total that's still cool. Yes Wait, what's that? Why is this? We're ready to do this Oh, right, they can't see I wish those on screen What thing oh yeah, no, no, don't worry I got this okay, so sponsors today Linda.com Mass drop why do these look completely different? Someone's getting fired that's it and I fix it which looks like the Linda.com one But not like the mass drop one because whatever apparently All right, so I'm not getting fired this time. I didn't make those. You can still get fired. That's true Yeah, you can get fired for showing up at work looking like some kind of like you. Yeah looking like me Yeah, I mean think about it. We say not as we do I'm sure that friendships have broken up over wearing the same outfit Probably yeah, so it's not identical my little poofs are different colors. That's true. My poofs are Yeah, let's pull up this is really awkward Let's just try and have a serious show okay, okay, like let's try and you know do a good job for our viewers I'm like yeah, okay, so this first topic was posted by ah Ming and the original article here is from fan droid.com I'm gonna go ahead and fire this baby up Speaking of professionalism. I have definitely not plugged my HDMI cable in here. No, that's that's a good thing So I have no idea if this is gonna work All about doing it live. All right Doing it right before your eyes. Oh Okay, oh did you hear that some major youtuber I think she has like 4 million subscribers She does unboxings of toys was a former porn star. Hmm. Yeah, that's cool. So that's a thing That's why she never appears on camera But people put two and two together the ex-wife of her current husband or something confirmed it It was like yeah. Yeah, that was her alias. There you go. Well that lady's a jerk Well, it was already like everyone knew so Yeah, she officially confirmed she did she did confirm it. So it's still kind of it like kind of a douchey move Yeah, so let's go ahead and oh look at that. It worked first try. That's amazing. All right, so this out every HTC one m9 owner to get one Get out of jail free card one free replacement for water damage Cracked screen or switching carriers That is so cool Because even if you know, not every phone can be unlocked for every carrier and not every Particular, you know skew can have every frequency support or whatever else the case may be HTC is basically going yeah, look for the lifetime of this phone You get to screw up once you get to go. Oh, you know what? I'm with Verizon and it sucks I'm with AT&T and it sucks. I want to try something else boom You get a replacement phone now. This is a definite An improvement because I can tell you guys that I remember I talked about this on my end show and I meant to follow this up Back when I are made my one m8. I did so as a customer Yeah And I told you guys that I was going to follow up and let you know how it goes because there was a problem With the main camera lens that it was like cracked for no reason like the rest of the phone was pristine like Something leaned against it in my pocket. It was cracked. Like I looked at it suddenly. I was like, how is this cracked? Um, and it is an issue that other people have had with the phone So I tried to go through the rma process as a normal customer and they ended up rejecting me They ended up saying that it wasn't covered. They wanted to charge me a bunch of money I ended up having to go through my press contact in order to get that taken care of so Which is not that cool. So for me to see HTC stepping up their warranty game is a Good on them for improving something that I didn't have a great experience with them within the past and be this is great for putting pressure on the other guys because A lot of the time products that have a lot of margin Have a lot of margin because they expect a lot of they expect a lot of returns or a lot of waste like You know, why is it that they can afford if someone in like if your kid and mcdonald's drops their ice cream cone on the floor Like the second you hand it to them does mcdonald's make you buy a new one? No, no, no, man. They give you they give you a new one And if you have a lot of margin you can afford to do that kind of thing and flagship phones are getting to the point where compared to Entry level phones. They've got a lot of margin and from time to time They can probably afford to repair that refurbish it do something with it and then get you a new one So pretty cool. It's only within the first 12 months after you buy it and this is cool They get you the new one overnight as long as you're willing to pre-authorize 300 bucks on your credit card Just to prevent fraud to prevent people from just being like, uh, yeah, so um I need like my new one and then yeah, I didn't send the old one. Don't worry about it I got two now peace bro Yeah, so they can charge you a few hundred bucks if you do that to make that not a very profitable proposition, right? So, um, I get a what gee what else is there? All it takes is a call to their support line. Apparently that's that's freaking cool I like it. I like it has a name too. It's called uh-oh production protection Okay, uh and like that might not seem I didn't know that first. That's funny Um, but like that's actually kind of nice because you can fold them up and be like Instead of being like I need that thing where I get that stuff for free. I need oopsie protection Yeah, you can be like I need uh-oh protection and they're like, oh, okay Like it's it simplifies the communication process and I actually do like that's gonna sell a lot of phones I think that's gonna help them a lot like if you're standing in the store and you're like, yeah galaxy s6 or uh, one m9 One of them I literally get a free replacement if I screw it up I mean this is basically apple care for free and if you want to go for like the like the companies that have your back idea You can get like a t-mobile sim and m9 And like in most cases, you can get a free replacement And m9 and like in in most cases you're just fine. This is the itchiest thing. I am going crazy But you know what? These guys contributed to our new office campaign They deserve To have us sit through this wandshow in this incredibly stinky hot room In these clown outfits for them. The greatest part is we were both handed these outfits like five ten minutes ago Oh, I knew they were here. So I picked them up. I could have told you. Oh, yeah They were just in the packaging. Yeah. Yes, we didn't wash any of this. Oh, my head's like burning. Oh Burning head All right. So uh, you should get that lift. They have clinics for that All right. So let's uh, we're getting a lot more details about the r9 390x this is posted by me down you on the forum. Can I help you chat said you guys needed any shame? Who no the other one joke? What do you what? You need this apparently not this the other one yeah Thanks nick. You tried. Okay. So uh this original article here is from techpowerup.com You want to go ahead and throw that in the uh, throw that in the twitch chat more radion r9 390x specs leak We are expecting it to be close to 70% faster than the r9 290x This is extremely good news for the r9 290x This is extremely good news for amd based on that We've seen the performance of the gtx titan x and vidya has tipped their hand effectively and the gtx titan x is fast But it's not going to be the same kind of butt-kicking difference in performance that we have seen in the past This is looking like something that could be an extremely close race And rumored pricing that i've seen for the 390x at least the rumored air-cooled one There's actually another rumor that there's going to be both an air-cooled version and a more extreme clock liquid cooled version But the rumor is that the air-cooled version will be significantly less expensive than the gtx titan x And you know the thing about the gtx titan x is that you say the same letter twice and it drives me insane Oh, no that too gtx titan x they're kind of run out of cool letters What's the next one to be like the titan j gtx powered zed edition 24 because they already have a zed They have a titan zed so they got zed and x powered zed. Are there any other cool letters? They gotta start doing more ti's Ti they have ti they gotta come up with something. No, they can they can roll them together. Titan x ti. Yeah Yeah, let me just put big wheels on it All right. So the thing about the titan x that no one really seems to be talking about is the way that nvidia kind of kind of gradually sort of did this Did this thing where the original titan the justification for the thousand dollar gaming card? Like tell you what how this card should realistically be the 980 Um, no, no, that's a whole other discussion. Okay, so the gtx titan the original justification for that unprecedented 999 price point I shouldn't say completely unprecedented because the 8800 ultra was right up around that mark I think it's around nine hundred dollars but that was like that was like like that was more of a bin of a card that was available at a lower price whereas titan and titan x have been the only card available with that tier of gpu at their launch and it took Ages for the 780 ti to come out last time around so so titan the way they justified this thousand dollar graphics card was Oh, yeah We've got like all these like glam shots and like, you know We've got this like green logo on the top of it and it looks all gamery But no no This is like a kuda developer card and like it's for like rendering and stuff because it's got you know full double precision performance Remember that was a big pitch tight Titan okay titan x like hold up titan x has no such thing So in the two years in between these cards Nvidia has gone from feeling like they have to justify a thousand dollar gaming card To feeling like a thousand dollar gaming card is just okay, and that's just well That's our top end gaming card now So it's really interesting to see that and I'll be I'll be equally interested to see if AMD follows suit or if they go Right for the titan x is jugular and release 390x significantly cheaper with similar performance now With that said titan x runs hot but 390x I will be floored apparently one of us is hitting the table fairly frequently. I think it's me. I will be floored if the if the if the 390x is more Uses up less power than the 290x. Yeah, so titan x might still come ahead in terms of performance per watt, but raw performance wise we could be looking at a close race and care more about raw performance and G-sync was a big feature that could have sold me an Nvidia card over an AMD card up until very recently and free sync is Now here with that said my only experience with free sync so far hasn't been great. Did I tell you about it? No, okay, is the embargo app? I think so. I think other people's reviews are up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I saw the PC for review So I have a 34 um 67 that's LG's 2560 by 1080 ultra wide free sync monitor and the issue with it is that it's free sync Variable refresh rate window is only from 48 Hertz to 75 Hertz so it only has like what it what is that like a 27 Hertz window a 27 Hertz window where it both prevents tearing and Doesn't stutter and and and the refresh rate varies so if you fall below that you're gonna See the same the same stutter nonsense that you'd like the same choppiness that you'd see without variable refresh rate Yeah, and falling below 48 frames per second is the kind of thing that happens Even in a game where you're averaging like 60 FPS when something intensive happens, and those are the times when you really feel that stutter Anyway, so the effectiveness for me was not very good and then the top line performance So if you were gonna say okay, well, then I'll just have my game target Like I'm gonna run like way over 48 FPS, so I never dip well your top line is 75 Hertz, so You're just kind of like you like it like what the pitch with G sync was that you can use more conservative settings and still get Playable smooth gameplay experience. That's not the experience. I had with that monitor with that said I hopefully I haven't heard a hundred percent Back from AMD yet, but I hopefully have another free sync monitor coming soon that has a 40 Hertz to 144 Hertz window where I'll be able to much more comfortably game within that window now the cool thing about free sync is that it does Support v-sync on and v-sync off so you can actually choose if your frame rate goes Above the maximum refresh rate of your monitor you can get that extra or that that that slight reduction in input latency That you get from higher frame rates but you'll have to deal with tearing Once we get really good examples of both sides It would be an interesting thing to do like I know you're doing your like the single one comparison whatnot But a side-by-side comparison, I would love to I think that would be awesome I think something like Ben cues free sync monitor the 40 to 144 versus the ROG Swift. Yeah We do have a couple more things about 390 X but yeah, we should do that when I'm back I think we'll have both by then so a couple things uh blah blah blah oh yeah, it's a apparently gonna have a 40 96 bit wide HBM memory bus with up to 8 gigs of RAM clocked at 1.25 gigahertz so we are talking way more memory bandwidth than GTX Titan X completely new memory technology and AMD claims it will be a claims single precision floating-point performance figure of 8.6 teraflops the thing looks like an absolute Beast the bad news is that AMD isn't rumored to have anything else to flesh out their lineup and the rumor that last Rumor I heard is that a lot of the other 300 series cards are gonna be rebadges of existing 200 series cards So there's that at least they've got something and the the one at the top end kind of often I'll see I don't know how sure this is anymore But at least back in the day when I was getting people to try to get into computers I'd see people find and like this is why it's very unsurprising that our videos on crazy Titan cards get a whole bunch of views People will find like oh, that's the super awesome card that I want now I'll go as similar as I can but in my price range Yep, so if they make the 390 X that kicks freaking, but they might still sell more AMD cards regardless Well, there's so much stuff. That's like that whether it's motorcycles or cars or or almost anything it's it's a brand image right like for example the the house we're in right now is a Morning star or something like that like it's a reputable builder and When we were buying it like that was a selling point It's a morning star home the inspection that we had done because we're not idiots and we get inspections done The inspection that we had done actually revealed a ton of problems with it most of which obviously weren't a big enough issue for us to to not go ahead and and Yeah, you know be here filming videos all the time But reveal a bunch of problems with it because that's the thing is a brand is just a brand that Actually has nothing to do with how good that individual product is But that is not so many people buy and even yourself even knowing better have you ever done it? Yeah, I've done it Yeah, I'll walk into Home Depot. I'll be like, oh I've heard Bosch is good I own a bunch of husky products So I'll like I had to buy I had to buy a hammer and a level the other day cuz I've always used my dad's And I don't live at home anymore. I was like, oh buying tools sucks Hey, it does but it's fun. It does and like I've been borrowing stuff and I'm trying to like return it So I'll give him stuff back and then be like, oh crap That means I've go get one now So like I had a hammer and a level from him for years and then I had years about your terrible I seriously and then I was like, yeah I should return this and I give it back and then I have to buy one like the next freaking week So I go to the store I'm like, I don't know what to get and I felt a whole bunch of them and eventually like it came down to a few but I was like It's like three. It's like three extra dollars. Yeah feels better in my hand feels good I have a lot of their products already. It'll probably be fine. Yeah might not even actually be better There you go And tools are tools are like a hilarious one because it's always like lifetime warranty built tough Who has ever claimed warranty on a hammer? Yeah when a hammer dies You're probably it's probably cuz you're using it and you need one now So you go buy one and then who's gonna get around to warranting a nine dollar hammer? No me cause nine dollars to ship something in Canada So I've kind of always wanted to make like a tool review channel, but I don't know if people would actually watch it I it was one of the things that I thought about with like Linus Media Group earlier on and if I knew anything about tools It might have happened. Right. All right. Let's let's move on. This one was posted by good bites. Yeah, I couldn't do it That last one was from me down you so this one's from good bites Microsoft clarifies the whole Windows 10 upgrades will be free for pirated Windows 7 and Windows 8 as well So the original article here is from Neil win net. I'm gonna go ahead and pull this up and have you posted that in the chat? So upgrading to Windows 10 on pirated versions won't get you a valid license with it's it's it's it is Technically the upgrade process is free. Yes, they didn't lie you can upgrade it just doesn't change your license conditions Yes, so you're still on a pirated version What that means exactly doesn't appear to be 100% clear yet So we don't know if you know Microsoft obviously knows who's doing what? So we don't know if all of a sudden we're gonna be allowed to change our desktop backgrounds on Pirated copies or if we're gonna be able to do this or be able to do that But pirates can rest assured that they will get an upgrade to Windows 10 with that said I don't think pirates were generally concerned about getting an upgrade from Microsoft to Windows 10 anyway So I don't really I don't really see the point. Yeah of this I actually think in my theorizing brain Yeah that they are going to do more limiting on Windows 10 for people that have Non-genuine licenses and what I think they're trying to do is get people off of the earlier ones where there's essentially no limiting other than like Making your desktop and then crack it down and then crack down on people so trying to give people the voluntarily upgrade So that they can crack down on them. Yeah, I think that's what's happening. I don't know that very interesting makes sense to me I don't know. We're gonna have a lot of machines to upgrade to Windows 10 Because we didn't go Windows 8 on a lot of our computers like we got a lot of people commenting Oh, you guys are running Windows 7 on whether it's a test bench or whether it's my machine like yeah I'm running Windows 7 because I'm not spending a hundred dollars on Windows 8 for a workstation. That's stupid But Windows 10 does look like it's gonna be a pretty compelling upgrade even if just for the better support for UI and text scaling. Yeah So we're potentially moving to all 4k monitors on our editing workstations. That's something we're working on with LG right now So everyone's gonna need Windows 10 kind of regardless in order to have a decent computer And like we were kind of able to get away with like Windows 7 benchmarking for a long time Yeah, but probably gonna have to move that out We'll have to absolutely because Windows 10 is gonna be the only one with DirectX 12 support. So I thought Windows 7 was gonna need DirectX 12 Nope get ready for the growing pains. All right, so a Japanese supercomputer has Simulated one second of brain activity. This was posted by Johners in the forum So let's go ahead and you didn't know that did you? They had said at one point in time that it was gonna be Windows 7. Yeah now they're saying blah blah blah It would require a complete like reworking of this or that or whatever. Yeah, so nope So supercomputer models one second of human brain activity the most accurate Simulation of the human brain ever has been carried out But a single seconds worth of activity took one of the largest supercomputers 40 minutes Calculate with seven hundred and five thousand twenty four cores and one point four petabytes of RAM Wait till your phone can do that Or wait till that thing that's with you can do that Okay, so let's let's let's do it. Let's do a let's do some quick number crunching here. So 40 minutes times 60 is is twenty four hundred seconds, so 2400 what's like root 2400? I don't remember how to do that on a calculator. Okay, so 48 times so root 2400 hold on this side. No, no, no, I want the exponential root Yeah, why are you doing this? Can you can you help me? What are you trying to collect? Okay Moore's law? Doubling of transistors. I want to know how long until we can do this in real time Whatever someone in twitch will do the math and will make me feel dumb and then I'll be able to tell you guys and that's How that will work. So how far are we away from AI? Probably that far Crazy, that's that's pretty far actually still it is pretty far still but it's it's within scope Researchers used the K computer in Japan to replicate a network consisting of 1.73 billion nerve cells connected by 10.4 trillion synapses the achievement offers neuroscientists a glimpse of what can be achieved by using next-generation computers so called exascale computing and So exascale computers are those which can carry out a quintillion floating-point operations per second An important milestone as is thought to be the same power as a human brain and therefore opens the door to potential real-time simulation of the organs activity Intel has said that it aims to have such a machine in operation by 2018 I don't think that it won't be your phone It'll be no I know but I don't think that lines up with the Moore's law. No, it doesn't at all actually No, so then the K computers technically not brand new either. Yeah, the K computer is not the fastest supercomputer No, it's not the fastest supercomputer and it's definitely not brand new. Yeah, so Whoo, that's actually pretty crazy. That is scary Yeah, I should segue from crazy and scary. Skydeck could be coming in our lifetime, right? We should segue from crazy and scary to where the hell is it? I don't know what to talk about Musk confirms Tesla will never make an undrivable car Oh, this won't even be that big of a segment, but I want to bring this up Posted by pop man on the forum. Did you post that in Twitch already? I will right now Tesla strongly favors people being able to drive their cars if they want Or like a manual takeover, let me get back over the notes here really quick However, self-driving cars may become safer than human driven cars and the public may actually demand to outlaw Human driven cars at some point in time and he's a little worried about that Because he is very famously kind of scared of the whole AI takeover thing Right, which is not surprising and being able to fully simulate a human brain in 2018 I don't know. I'm super excited for AI to start Well, having the power to do it because there's still a lot more that needs to be done even once we have the computing power But even so, I mean, I don't think a self-driving car ever needs to have AI I think a self-driving car But they super will Can always be pretty dumb But they totally will. Yeah, they'll need certain Because it'll be able to react with you differently and you're gonna have driving cars with Siri built into it And maybe Siri is the one that's actually driving because it's managing the maps application Maybe Siri is the one that ends up taking over the world Maybe it already has a name SiriNet Super serious Yep Oh my god, Apple should make a cereal called cereal Why would Apple make cereal? Well, okay, maybe they shouldn't do that, but they should make one thing after another after another Because then they're Alright, so Samsung's round smartwatch Speaking of making one thing after another after another with no discernible Strategy Samsung's round smartwatch is coming This was posted by nine shadow on the form. I'm gonna go ahead and pop this up and If this seems like a reaction to other round smartwatches, then that's probably what it is I think there were better. I thought there were better pictures of this Yeah, like that one. What link is that in? Linus TicTibs website, bro Oh, okay, well Direct bro You're not gonna be able to do that Okay, well, get rekt bro You get rekt Bro Whatever bro Bro God like, this thing is driving me crazy By the way, we should actually, no we shouldn't, I'll take it back Forget about it, don't worry about it Nope Okay It's cool I was gonna say the front page thing, but they can't click on it, they don't like anyone Right So don't worry about it Okay, okay, fine, I give up, I'm loading up I was trying to refer to the site that it came from We can give them props Yeah, sure Alright, so that is what it looks like it will look like So if that looks similar to another round smartwatch Then I guess that probably makes sense because there's only so many things you can do with an LCD display and a metal band around it It does have a crown, so that's definitely different from the Moto 360 It also has a button You mean like Yeah, apparently the camera is coming back So I'm not sure if that's confirmed or a rumor yet Honestly I've done very little prep on the dock this week I filmed an unbelievable number of videos this week Including a build guide I was here at the office until after 1am last night working on that So our SubZero build guide is in the editing queue right now I'm extremely excited about that Anyway, this is cool It will have a rotating bezel ring So if you wanted to use it for navigation or something then that's super cool I don't see people replacing their submariners with this instantly So the kinds of people who would want navigation on their wrist might be the kinds of people who would like submariners I don't know that that particular navigation rotating dial thing is going to sell anyone on it But that's kind of cool I still think we need the watch that I proposed a long time ago Which is like those exact watches that we're talking about With a transparent display on the top Even if you don't charge it for a month it just doesn't matter But if you're like, I kind of want to be able to use the smartwatch Just plug it in overnight and you're good The stupid thing is that that's the most obvious idea ever And whoever finally does it first is going to be hailed as some kind of visionary genius And it'll be like one of the real watch brands is going to do it And then all the watch aficionados who have been calling smartwatches stupid are going to be like Well we were just waiting for someone to do it right Because they have that brand loyalty It's going to have nothing to do with the actual technology This one's going to be called the Orbis and can be used on a band, a clip, a keychain or a bracelet No word on pricing I did get word from Pebble, I am not getting a Pebble Steel But I think I'm getting a regular Pebble Time or Pebble Time Steel Or Steel Time or whatever anyway Pebble Steel Time Microsoft Windows 10 ROM for Android phones So this is supposed to buy Ah Ming on the forum The original article here is from Trusted Reviews As far as I can tell today, everything is supposed to buy Ah Ming Yeah, Ah Ming is on a roll this week So Microsoft wants to put Windows 10 on your Android phone This particular picture here happens to be a just regular Windows 10 phone It's also available on Android flavors, the one I made And that also happens to be the source of a lot of disgruntled viewers who were super upset at me for saying that Windows phone has no place on a high end phone So hopefully that isn't going to be true anymore But at any rate, for some reason if you wanted to put Windows Maybe Windows Phone 10 will be way better Or I shouldn't call it Windows Phone 10 because it's Windows 10 But the phone version will be way better or something So the official statement is Through a new program with Zaomi Inc, one of the top smartphone distributors in the world A select group of Me4Power users will be invited to help test Windows 10 And contribute to its future release later this year They'll have the opportunity to download the Windows 10 technical preview Install it and provide their feedback to Microsoft So it will effectively override Android, turning it into a Windows 10 device I don't know how it's done on mobile And I don't know if this is still a thing But I know for a while there, Windows 10, at least for desktop Had a pretty hardcore keylogger in it So you might want to look into the privacy stuff before you install this on your phone Because it's like, I understand the reason why they have it It's because they're trying to test things So they kind of want to know what you're doing with the device And they're not hiding it, they tell you about it But a lot of people kind of just spam next, like me So you might not notice And if you're going to put it on your phone, they might be listening to a little bit more than what you're doing in your computer You might want to just look into that So just be vigilant Be wary, yeah Be excellent to each other Speaking of being excellent to each other, we should be excellent to our sponsors! Lynda.com is the first sponsor of today's WAN Show This is my sponsor voice It's very different from my regular voice because it's much more obnoxious You wouldn't have thought it possible, would you?

But yeah Alright so let's go ahead and move on to our next topic of the show here What do you got? Why do you keep holding that up? Remember we were going to talk about the... Oh right, you talk about it Yeah He's finally doing it you guys He's finally doing it I can't really tell what it is I guess It's smaller You're red You're red I think I could have gone for the... So it's an iPhone and I have no idea what I'm doing with it I don't understand how this thing works at all It's an iPhone 5S It's a 5S Okay yeah I wasn't going to do this switch but then something that we're using as a backend for something Super specific Has an app that I like super need to use because I need to be able to monitor how it's working Very closely over the next little while And they only have an iPhone app So I have to use it The yell is hitting the Twitch chat now RIP ears, RIP ears Well played So yeah I had to at least temporarily at the very least give up my Moto X for an iPhone 5S Let's see how that goes for you They're really similar sizes Yeah The iPhone's a little smaller Yeah You may actually end up liking it after a while You have to give it like at least a month I think Okay there's some super crazy frustrating stuff I already know I know One like the super cool fingerprint thing doesn't work at all I spent like 10 minutes trying to get my fingerprint working on it And every single time there would be like one line left and it's like No, no I don't know what that is You gotta be doing it wrong Okay no seriously No it works for me every time It doesn't work at all I don't even know how to do it I'll help you, I'll help you I wanted to do it live so people don't think I'm crazy Okay Privacy? Touch ID and passcode You got this No yeah privacy Why would it be under privacy? That's stupid What the I'm kidding that makes perfect sense Okay, okay they can't really Okay Don't move your finger too much Okay Okay Yeah Wait you gotta leave it on, leave it on, leave it on It's doing the vibrate thing Oh okay okay It tells you when it's done Okay Yeah Watch it work the first time Finger moved, I did not move my finger Okay It's filling in Yeah It would normally get here Yeah okay Uh huh Try a different finger This fingerprint cannot be read Do you just have like unreadable fingerprints? No they look super normal Maybe try like cleaning it off and like clean off your finger or something before you try Okay well I'll try it again and talk to you Tell you what you try that and I'll do another topic in the meantime let's see if you can do it You keep working on it live let them see Okay So he's gonna keep working on that In the meantime I actually do have some Apple stuff to talk about oh this is unfortunate We actually had an entire separate topic for FreeSync posted by Spardaman on the forum And I think we talked about pretty much all of this already so Thanks Spardaman Yeah there's that Thanks Spardaman Spardaman Spardaman Spardaman He's eating over his pizza in his free time Another article posted by NineShadow on the forum app Look I guess they can't really see it There's like two lines left and I hold my finger and it fills them and then it vibrates and they go Oh I got it No it didn't Yeah no no it did Adjust your grip now you can now you do the rest of the fingerprint You got this bro you got this Alright you just needed my encouragement to uh The moral support To make it to the end Yeah Okay Okay This is from 9to5Mac Apple to launch Android device trade-in program to encourage iPhone upgrades Very very interesting Now this isn't the first time that Apple has done some kind of an upgrade program In fact they first introduced one um can't remember I read this article and I knew the date but someone who did the notes for this article didn't put it in the notes No big deal But anyway they did one in the past for their own devices and they saw a big boost in sales Well now they're offering it for Blackberry and Android devices So Apple restale store employees after a training program are going to be able to determine trade-in values for devices By considering their cosmetic and functional condition They will be able to transfer address book contacts from the rival smartphones to iPhones But other data will have to be moved by the customer It will be available in multiple countries including the United States and United Kingdom So um the existing trade-in program is known for its consistency and convenience But pricing is typically not necessarily the best I think Amazon offers an excellent one where they do a quote over the internet And then they send it back to you extremely quickly They offer you a label so you don't have to pay shipping and stuff like that So there you go guys Very interesting That's awesome Oh this is cool Okay Yeah So our like our new bros Like these guys are definitely our bros because they like make cool stuff and it's pretty cool 45 drives if you guys have heard of these before Okay if you've heard of backblaze before These guys kind of it's a long relationship And you can actually read about it on the 45 drives blog But it's a long relationship that eventually has turned into the development of the storage pod The 45 drive 4u storage pod One of which is actually going to be it would have been here now And I would have been able to like show it to you guys If there wasn't a 100 centimeter of snow drop on the 45 drives guys Not allowing them to ship it to us But basically it is what it says it is It is a single 4u rack mount case that holds 45 drives And is able to handle sustained speeds in excess of 1 gigabyte per second They are highly customizable They are actually they're sending us one that we're going to be deploying at our new office As a mass storage 100 plus terabyte server We have a really really exciting new server setup coming We're going to have multiple servers instead of just one One thing we should do though just so that loony can stop having a hernia Is once we get all these things deployed We need to post them on the 10 terabyte thread on the forum We will we will we are going to make our own thread in the forum Oh that's a little bit The 100 terabyte thread Oh wrecked Yeah that's right It's a 10 terabyte plus thread Well we are going to make a 100 terabyte plus thread to coexist And we are going to join both clubs Because the way this is going to work is we are going to have Somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 plus drives installed in our 45 drives rack And it is going to be bananas Now this is kind of cool they actually have a couple of other products as well that they just launched So they they have the 45 one that I think I've talked about a fair bit But they actually have a quiet one now So something that most server grade gear is not is quiet If you've ever fired up like a rack mount switch Or any kind of like especially like a 1U or a 2U server Those things are redonkulous They'll put tiny little fans in it and then just rip them at like 5000 rpm So the one that they originally wanted to send us until I explained that we had like probably 50 to 60 terabytes of storage sitting on drives on a shelf in our bathroom already Was the Q30 here and the idea is that this is for like video production studios and offices They actually custom build all their rigs They're actually more like a custom They're more like a boutique system builder Than like a strictly speaking like a storage appliance company I've talked to them on the phone before And then this one unfortunately I had no opportunity to get in on I didn't even know the XL60 was coming They now have a 60 drive single 4U rack 60 redundant power supplies and boot drives and 10 gigabit ethernet Can we get that one? No It's like a full additional like 1500 Canadian dollars so yes But there are bros right? Yeah I know right They're not bros So they're not First bump right or something I don't know They're not cheap but that does include hardware So that includes like motherboard, CPU, RAM, power supply, case Does not include 10 gigabit LAN, blah blah blah all that stuff But does not include drives So guys stay tuned because we have like a crazy setup So I'll tell you guys a fair bit We're hoping, now this is not confirmed yet We're hoping to have a purely solid state large rate array For like the day to day drive Like a really big rate array Then we're hoping to have like a similar size magnetic rate array For like I mean given how fast that SSD array is going to be We could do like hourly backups realistically Like there's no reason we couldn't do that We're going to have IO to spare So we could do like hourly backups to that Then we're going to have the 45 drive Storinator Which by the way is going to be customized with like our logo on the front and stuff Sick Yeah I know right So we're going to have the Storinator to archive everything else from that point on So I'm extremely excited about this These guys make super cool products and Someone in the chat just said and you can't afford AC Normally I'd like jump on with that and be like yeah but like no When you run a company your data is extremely important Yeah data is so much more important than being cool Losing all of your data can crush your entire company Yep so like would you spend $10,000 to save your entire company? Yes Would you spend $10,000 to be a bit more comfortable? If you're me, no Look at my car Point, point proven QED suckas Alright let's go ahead and Oh this is crazy This was the original article here was posted by Actually the old NCIX cameraman linked me to this We still chat once in a while So post on hardocp from someone claiming to be an employee Tiger Direct closing most North American retail stores Apparently all but three of them Or excuse me all but four of them are closing So the post here says that there's lots of screaming, yelling and tears People are in disarray especially the ones that have been with the company a very long time And here are some of the signs that you're going to see soon I mean you know what When's the last time you were compelled to buy anything on Tiger Direct? I didn't know they had retail stores Okay well they don't here but they do in Canada like they do in Ontario I read this and was like What? Yeah Oh yeah Because they acquired CompUSA back in the day Okay I actually knew who they were So they took their stores away And they had their own stores already if I recall correctly Like Tiger used to be I knew who they were from like old gaming magazines Like old PC gamers before there was like YouTube The PC hardware margin structure does not support retail stores The reason that your local retail computer store exists is services Services and like overcharging Because you can call it overcharging if you could buy it online at Amazon or NCIX or whatever for cheaper You could call that overcharging But what I'll say is that they're not overcharging if that's the margin that they have to charge in order to keep the walls up And the heat on and the AC on in their store So I don't know you can call that whatever you want Because there is not a lot of margin in this And Tiger was a heavily retail-arranged business So if you look at other retail stores NCIX for example has retail stores But they're supported by an extremely large online and business to business division Two extra divisions that help make those retail stores make sense So this does not surprise me You know I don't know what the answer is But it felt like back when I was especially in the computer retailer business It really felt like something had to be done at some level You know whether it's like Seagate enforcing minimum pricing or whoever enforcing minimum pricing And a lot of the time it did exist Minimum advertised price, map price That is a thing that exists particularly in the US Apple does it like crazy I can't remember if it's illegal in Canada or it used to be and isn't anymore I don't remember Map price is like I don't think it's technically enforceable Anyway like I would sit there and I would go How do we fix this? How do we make this sustainable business? So someone other than Nvidia and Intel is making money in this industry And no answer came So I'm not in the computer retailer business It's no longer my problem if any of this stuff sells or makes any money Correct Half Life 3 This is posted by Romello Be The Best Half Life 3 is apparently not likely Gabe Newell in a recent interview kind of came on and was like Well look I get it Story driven stuff is good And if there's a novel series that I enjoy or a TV show And I want to know what happens next That's super cool and there's a lot of anticipation But then he goes on to talk about how Valve's business model and the landscape of gaming has changed And I think he said something I don't remember the exact quote But the only reason we'd go back and do like a super classic kind of product Is if a whole bunch of people just internally at Valve said they wanted to do it And had a reasonable explanation for why they wanted to do it But you know if you want to do another Half Life game And you want to ignore everything we've learned in shipping Portal 2 And in shipping all the updates on the multiplayer side That seems like a bad choice So we'll keep moving forward but that doesn't necessarily always mean What people are worried that it might mean So does this mean like a Half Life NMO Or Half Life some kind of like free to play like MOBA I don't know what this means Maybe it means a novelization Maybe it means I don't know I think they're just throwing money away Because of their corporate structure I don't think they need it They don't need it, you're right But if you can learn from Apple having a ridiculous order Specifically Nintendo If you can learn from Nintendo having a ridiculous amount of money sitting in the bank So that if something changes down the line And everyone's like oh my god Nintendo is totally failing They're going to be bankrupt in two days And they're like oh wait they have money for 25 years It's not a bad thing, it's not a bad position to be in I think they should push Half Life but oh well Just looking at the amount of demand They could just release like a pretty good version Like we tried pretty hard But I don't think they want to do that No, I'm not saying they would And I don't think they want to do that But if they did it would still be a huge smashing hit And Valve would go over the top and do it right And then it would be ridiculously massive and make butt tons of money So basically the TLDR is we don't feel like that Yeah, we don't feel like doing it, nope We're making an awful lot of money because you suckers buy Team Fortress hats So basically yeah, Team Fortress hats and CSGO skins They make way more off Team Fortress hats and CSGO skins than they do off-stock in the game I mean for all the Lord Gaben stuff and all that kind of stuff And Valve worshipping that goes on Mostly I hope tongue in cheek They're just a business Like they do things the way that they do them And they have that integrity because it works There's that famous Gabe Newell quote Don't lie to the internet because they'll catch you He didn't say don't lie to the internet because it's wrong Let's not misunderstand what Valve is as a company They're a company They exist to ship products that are profitable for them as a company They don't do things out of the joy of doing things all day I mean I think that if it was just purely for joy They wouldn't worry about little microtransaction at every step here and there And I'm not saying that many of the developers at Valve, probably close to all of them I'm not saying they don't do it out of joy and out of passion They definitely do Anyone in that kind of an industry has got to have some passion for it I'm just saying it's a business The things they do are calculated business decisions, not random Yeah Um, alright There are really cool things at Valve Alright, blah blah blah Okay, this was posted by Thomas D. And the original article here is from TorrentFreak And the FCC internet policy thing is actually looking not as fantastic as some people might have hoped I think we called it So you called it specifically, I don't think I did So they included a copyright loophole that many protested against Nothing in this part prohibits reasonable effort by a provider of broadband internet access service to address copyright infringement or other unlawful activity The FCC argues that copyright infringement hurts the economy so ISPs are free to take appropriate measures against this traffic Activists have stated that carving a copyright loophole in net neutrality would leave your lawful activities at the mercy of overbroad copyright filtering schemes And we already have plenty of experience with copyright enforcers targeting legitimate users by mistake, carelessness, or design So remember guys, this is an article on torrentfreak.com We know exactly what their focus is, it's right in the name But that doesn't mean that the whole net neutrality thing is as cut and dried as neutral internet You get that speed everywhere all the time no matter what It was never going to be that It's a potential loophole now and a big problem with copyright law is that it's so abusable on both sides Not even just one So they could be like, oh well you like screen shot a page, therefore made a copy of a photo once five years ago Therefore you get 10% speed all the time screen I'm going to put my hair up I get why my wife does that now That makes a big difference She's always like, yeah I'm warm, I'm putting my hair up I'm like, how could that possibly help? It helps I got insight today Harry's an insulator, how did you know? Well no, I know, but I didn't think just the back of your neck made that big of a difference Whatever, screw you man Alright, so our next topic today Posted by four Andrews with a 4 and a capital N for whatever reason Tesla is now allowed to sell directly in New Jersey This shouldn't be news This should never have been anything They should have been able to sell their cars to whoever they want Regardless, and do it directly without dealerships I think you look better with your hair up Thank you But the governor made it banned And now it has been reversed one year after they were originally told they were not allowed to do it There are some stipulations, I think they have to have what? Four retail stores and a service center? I don't know No, they're only allowed to open four retail stores That's dumb And they must open one service center They should be allowed to have as many stores as they want Yeah, that's so stupid I love the quote from Elon Musk Comes after Elon Musk compared local dealers to a mafia protection racket subverting the democratic process Bam! You got told son! It's kind of true Yep, it's like the whole taxi driver thing here in Vancouver Where Uber cannot be here because by law only taxis may drive you places You have got to be kidding me A better service comes along and it's not allowed to compete with the crappy service Can you imagine if when the refrigerator was invented They're like no, ice boxes are the only thing allowed being sold in Vancouver Yeah, or like restaurants may not use refrigerators They must use ice boxes because what would happen to the ice harvesters if not for... I don't know, maybe they could go be refrigerator sales people The world changes The taxi drivers could become Uber drivers Whoa! I know, and then they might actually have to be polite to their customers Whoa! Wouldn't that be horrible? And if they screw you over and go the wrong route because you're tired and just got off a plane You could dispute the fare and get your money back Whoa! Which Brandon and I have done quite a few times on trips Really? We'll get back to the hotel and be like that seemed like a roundabout It seemed like they went the long way Right And then we just Google Maps, check out the Uber map of the drive that we just did Be like, hmm, dispute, get money back It's happened quite a few times Just like that, man Because you'll be able to see this was the route, he did this, okay With Google Maps it'll give you traffic information So sometimes I'll even check in the car Instead of correcting it I'll be like whatever, I'll just work on my phone Then we get there and dispute Like, whatever Get wrecked, son Alright, so Nintendo's next console, NX Which basically only exists as a slide in a presentation About that they're working on something This was posted by Top War Gamer on the forum And the original article here is from Kotaku And I'm just gonna wait for the article to come up So that you guys can have like the punchline Now available for pre-order What? I love the picture that they used Like, EB Games Australia Nintendo have confirmed And by the way it has confirmed EB Games Nintendo have confirmed they're developing a dedicated gaming platform Normally I wouldn't be a stickler about something like that I wouldn't be like, haha, you are a bad person because you used wrong words But like when you're being an idiot in general already Okay, and when it's like the press output of a store I'm gonna pile on With the codename NX They've said more info will come next year It's March Like next year isn't like And that's more info Next year isn't six weeks from now Like the NX is now available for pre-order in store We literally know absolutely nothing about it I mean aside from wanting to be the person with bragging rights Because you were the first person who pre-ordered a Nintendo NX Or whatever they end up calling it Maybe they'll call it the poo this time Because we left too much to the imagination Right, right I, I It's ridiculous I'm done Absolutely ridiculous They're trying to redo the Duke Nukem thing Where people had like pre-order slips from ten years ago Like people are gonna have pre-order slips from literally possibly two years Because they're like we will give you more information next year Not just releasing next year We'll give you more information They'll be like oh it's a this Like they announced the Wii a while before it came out They announced things before they came out The Nintendo Direct is awesome I love Nintendo Direct Alright let's go ahead and Oh, I showed the document instead of the actual page that I'm supposed to show This was posted by Victorious Secret And you know how Macs just work and they're super secure Apparently Safari's private browsing mode saves URLs In an easily accessible file So this shot is great I love that I wonder if he created this screenshot at work Yeah really No, no really I have to go on Pornhub So that I can like make a screenshot of how I went on Pornhub Really, I promise that's why I'm on Pornhub He did only go to the home page Oh I guess that's true Yep, look at that Database structure, page URL, boom So if you're using Safari on your Mac for your private browsing needs You might want to not do that Like at all That's so awkward Yeah Now everyone in the audience that has like A brother or sister that owns a Mac Is gonna run and go look at their private browsing history And just wreck them Hey mom and dad, look Oh don't tell them we told you We don't want to get like angry calls from like People's parents being like Or like tweets like My son told me that I Blah blah blah I was shopping for one of these That's my personal thing I keep in my nightstand I didn't think my husband did that Oh yeah You ruined our marriage Wow I don't want to be responsible for that Alright so NVIDIA This is posted by Aming on the forum So kitguru.net Says that NVIDIA's Pascal Architecture's NVLink Could enable 8-way multi-GPU capabilities Holy balls Because scaling on 4-way wasn't bad enough Well it also promises some other improvements Including better communication between the cards and SLI Which is one of the big reasons that SLI doesn't scale as well as it could Because you need a ton of bandwidth The more cards you add The more they all have to talk with each other in sync Think about the RAM sharing thing They have to actually share that That's a lot of talking So blah blah blah blah blah Even the Intel Core i7-5960X only has 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes Therefore can connect up to 4 cards using PCIe 3.0 8X NVIDIA will implement support of their proprietary NVLink bus Into its next generation Pascal GPUs Each NVLink point-to-point connection will support 20GBps of bandwidth In both directions simultaneously And each Pascal high-end GPU will support at least 4 such links So PCIe bandwidth would be preserved for CPU to GPU communications And that's it It's projected to deliver up to 2x higher performance in many applications Compared to PCIe among peer GPUs So IBM apparently plans to add NVLink to select power processors for supercomputers as well So just to be clear That 20GBps of bandwidth between cards is about half of what a card has total right now To communicate with like, you know, if it had to overflow to system memory Or communicate with the CPU or with another GPU or like two other GPUs BALLING! That's crazy This is just generally crazy I really want to be... we gotta make sure that they give us 8 cards Yeah, I want multi-GPU scaling to not suck That would be super cool Yeah I think that's pretty much all I had for the show today I could do a live unboxing of the new Razer Blade I can talk more about this I had other complaints Why don't I go get the Razer Blade while you talk about that? But that's like all the topics I have for this week Yeah Why don't we do a Twitter Blitz? Yeah We haven't done a Twitter Blitz in forever Okay, well it's open season guys Hit us at Linus Tech on Twitter That also has the negatives of me switching to an iPhone We'll take your tweets when I get back with the... Oh wait, is there no... it's not a question? Yeah, just open-ended Wow, that's been a while I know, we haven't done that in forever We've always got so many topics to cover We do Alright, I'm getting up here It's finally a week where it wasn't super important I have to log in with my finger Wait, what? Oh, it's an or Yeah I see I want to do it And you can set up multiple fingers too Try again Try again Wow, you suck at life Try again I'm going to assume it's try again Come on! Your passcode is required to enable Touch ID Really? Okay, so my other complaints I needed this for a piece of backend software For something that I'm using Or not a piece of backend software For an app that monitors a piece of backend software That I'm using for a project that I'm not going to talk about right now It doesn't work on Android They only have an iPhone app So I had to switch from my Moto X to an iPhone 5S I think this is Yeah, the background moves a little bit when I move around That's kind of distracting Anyways So the first thing that I do when I get the phone is like Okay, I want to use this freaking app to see if it works properly Because I switched to this freaking phone for this freaking app So the freaking app better work properly So I go to download it and I go into the store And I'm like, okay, this is fairly straightforward search type thing in Install, next, whatever And then it sits there for like a super long time doing absolutely nothing And I'm like, what the hell? And then like five minutes later it's like I need a password for this And I need you to type it in like three times And enable this thing and click next here and all this kind of stuff I'm like, I'm trying to install a free app Why do you need all this crap? Why is this so ridiculous? And then it sent me like six emails Because it's like, you logged in on this device And you activated this thing and you downloaded this free app Which you apparently need an invoice email for And like all this other crap How else would you know you didn't pay anything for it? It's so annoying Ben Stop messing with me I'll never stop messing with you It's annoying me And then like, okay, okay I went to go install Twitter and Instagram And I noticed on both of them there was a little tag that said essentials And I was like, oh, that's cool Maybe there's like a super incredibly common app area called Essentials And I can't find it Oh yeah, the App Store searches is not very good It's terrible I searched for Essentials I searched into what is it? Popular categories, popular collections I was like, oh, that's obviously going to have Essentials But it has Made in Canada Just in case anyone gave any craps that an app was made in Canada Ridiculous We're Canadian We're sort of over us not being important That's fine That is fine All right, so here we go It's not even there Browse by category, books, business, catalogs, education, entertainment, finance, food and drink, blah, blah, blah Velocity asks Will the Titan X deliver better gaming performance than a 980 Kingpin? Yes, of course Yes A 980 is a 980 And it can be a fast 980, but it's still a 980 Although I do want to kind of do the price for performance comparison thing between a Kingpin and Titan X That's not a bad idea $700 versus $999 Do you know of a third-party Wi-Fi booster case to operate quadcopters for longer distances? Haven't used anything like that personally, although I have heard that they Like, I've heard about them I don't know if they specifically exist yet, but In what format will videos about the new Office be? They'll probably be kind of vlog style Yeah With bits of things that happen Does the Razer Naga mouse have too many side buttons to be usable for games like Skyrim, Minecraft and other games with hotbars? What kind of a question is that? I don't actually get it You count how many buttons it has and then you figure out how many things you want to bind to buttons and then That's a very personalized I think you're attacking him a little bit too much I think that was mean Well, no, but like I think you need to take a step back here What kind of a question is that? Buddy, buddy bro Does it have too many buttons? I think you need to settle down, buddy You have too many buttons Whoa, because like the MOBA one has less and they're larger and more clickable So maybe he's like, well, your finger will get lost and you don't need that But you can't ask if it has too many Yeah Oh, come on now Are you guys planning on reviewing the MRS7 for Masterop? I actually wasn't planning to I've only listened to it very, very briefly And headphone reviews don't always do the best for us So like we have a bazillion other things on the go right now So that was on the like bottom of the priority list Yeah I don't know Wait, what do we tweet to you about? Not that No, specifically that We got an R9 290, first desktop GPU after a laptop for four years Yeah, that would be amazing Holy crap What's my take on Paul and Kyle's new show? What's the difference between that and this show? Except it being worse They have no clown suits And ours being clearly better Yeah, because clown suits Because I'm Kyle and you're Paul Yeah, you saw that Yeah, we had a show that was exactly their show So we're Kyle, Paul, Luke, and Linus This show has four hosts We simulated the experience Were you surprised by the Titan X price? Yeah, actually I was expecting it to be higher I thought it was going to be $1,300 Yeah, I thought they were going to go $1,299 with it But I thought it would be double precision Yes, maybe that's what happened Yeah, I think that's exactly what happened What do you think about the flash boost? This is a badminton racket question I was like No, I didn't break it yet I have actually, I've whacked it on the floor once And I've had a couple of clashes with people I was playing with someone who's like super inexperienced And she actually whacked her racket against mine pretty bad And yeah, that's who And no, it didn't break The flash boost is renowned for being made of glass And breaking extremely quickly I was quite worried that it was going to break I did get the 5U version Which is the slightly not as light and fragile version So maybe that saved it Not 100% sure Do you think there will be a 980 Ti? Oh, I don't know No, wait, what? No, no, wait, no That would completely break their naming scheme Because the 980 is already a fully enabled GM204 So a Ti would only be a clock speed bump And I really don't think it has that much left in it Whereas a 780 versus So a 980 Ti to be significantly faster than a 980 Would have to be GM200 Which would be the same GPU as Titan X But then they've screwed with that before, haven't they? Maybe they just really crippled GM200 Once yields are better and costs are lower Yeah Is 7500 live viewers a new record? That's a lot, holy crap That is a lot Richard says you're going to grow to love the iPhone Any chance of doing Super Fight on Channel Superfun? Is this like a game or something? I have that Is it? That's a card game I've never played it, but I have it Oh, no, we have a bunch They came in the Super Fun The super, the Loot Crate Oh, okay, cool Yeah, let's do it It's like you get different attributes And you essentially get like a fighter And then you have to debate over why your fighter would be the other person's fighter Oh, wow, that sounds like the most annoying game ever To play with everyone here You, me, Bercle, and Taron Yeah, us four would be the most annoying people to fight against Taron will be the single most obnoxious person in the world to play that game with Any more info on the plans for the layout of the new office? Nothing yet, but it's actually one of our community members who designed the layout of the inside I don't know if even you know that And he's, no, I know that Yeah, and so we're going to He's doing a really good job, rapid development, too We're going to have him as a guest on the LAN show once it's done And we'll have him sort of talk through a lot of the processes that went into it I've had some feedback for him And he'll instantly hit me back with a new rendered update within minutes, which is insane I'll send him a question and I'll get an email back before I can go to another tab and come back Yep, he's been incredible He's good So Peter asks, is Acer sending you a FreeSync version of the 144Hz IPS monitor as well? Not that I'm aware of, I'm not aware that that monitor exists You've got to understand, FreeSync versus G-Sync isn't like a toggle switch that they hit inside the monitor It is a completely different monitor Like, it could have the same panel maybe, but it would be a completely different interface behind it So no, it doesn't work that way Like, monitors will just be what they are And you won't be like FreeSync, G-Sync version, like, you know, space gray and, you know, titanium black or whatever they call it This looks like real dyed hair now Yep, you look horrible Yeah Oh, that's why you put it back on Yeah, yeah, yeah Because good old Linus Forssell was like, where'd your hat go? It's back, bro It's back, just for you Linus Just for you, man Just for you, man It's so uncomfortable, but it's back Does anyone in the office actually use Crunchyroll? I think so I have Okay, well there you go I won't claim that I do Not much of an anime guy myself Me neither, I've used it I understand the service Yep So there's that I wanted to use it because honestly I didn't know it existed until they started sponsoring us Really? Yeah, because I had watched, like, I'm not that big into anime But I'll watch some of it sometimes just to kind of understand what one group of my friends is freaking talking about Right Because one group of my friends is super into it Like, super hardcore? Yeah, so I'll watch some of it sometimes I don't have any friends so it's not a problem for me I was like, oh, this service could make it way easier because, I don't know, they get the stuff from... Wherever Well, I don't know There's like a bazillion anime sites Yeah, and I'll try to find it, I'm like, I don't... And there'll be like these free sites and you're like, this is sketchy, but maybe it's legit actually And there's like a team that's before it and then it might not have the right subtitles and then I can't find the right episode And I'm like, uh... So yeah, simplified things Okay, this is a good one What is your favorite flavor of pie slash cake? Strawberry rhubarb pie Strawberry rhubarb pie Really? That's your favorite? Yeah Oh What's yours? Um, wow Okay, it's kind of tough because like a really good blueberry pie with vanilla ice cream like is pretty much to die for If I've had blueberry pie, it was like ten years ago Oh, blueberry pie is amazing And I've never had like a... I don't think, before my aunt like stabs me in the throat I don't think I've ever had like a homemade blueberry pie Oh, blueberry pie is amazing And like blueberry pie can be like... You can get the like the super sweet blueberry pie where it's kind of like a sugar gel Yeah Holding the blueberries together And that can be really good if you're in the mood for that But then blueberry... I'd probably be more into the... A more natural blueberry pie where it's just like a sugared crust And then blueberries like just basically like the guts are just jam packed with blueberries That sounds awesome With vanilla ice cream is like... French vanilla ice cream? To die for I'm not into the French vanilla personally Alright, okay But it would work with that too Yeah And then for cake, I actually really like the TNT fruitcake Really? Like TNT is a local like Asian supermarket I've never had that Yeah, my wife has learned to clone it just like the Chinese do Nice, nice, nice So she can make it herself Although we usually buy it anyway because it's an awful lot of work for her to make it For cake, I like just like ice cream cakes or like a strawberry cheesecake You know I had so much ice cream cake as a kid I can't even look at them now Really? It's funny because I like ice cream and I'll eat certain kinds of cake But something about whether it's the like the chocolate crunchy crumble and this and that A big problem with ice cream cake is that the vast majority of them use that crappy whipped topping Yeah, yeah Whipped topping kills anything So does fondant Oh, fondant is horrible I had never tried fondant until, bless your hearts, some members of our community sent me that Knock to a Fan cake Which looked amazing It looked so cool I took one bite of it and then I was like, wow, whatever the stuff on top of it is, is not very good at all The inside was actually good I ended up like hollowing out a few pieces No joke I was like, I don't have any food right now actually So I hollowed out some cake pieces Yeah, that's a Even without food it was not worth eating the fondant That was horrendous Yes, we are definitely going to do an office tour I'm personally impartial, Luke is definitely a fan droid I haven't used iOS, I've never had an iPhone So So we'll find out Holy crap, now that we've started doing Twitter blitz, 277 people hit us Do you see FreeSync staying as it is or getting better? Oh, it will definitely get better It will absolutely get better FreeSync, the technology supports something like 9Hz up to 250Hz or something stupid like that So there's lots of room for it to continue to improve It's just the panels need to catch up Have you ever cross threaded motherboard standoffs? Yep How do you deal with it? You take the whole board back out You put pliers on either side, you wrench them back apart And you find a new standoff because you just wrecked it When is the next Scrapyard Wars? We are very likely to do a Scrapyard Wars as soon as we can once I get back from Japan Once we both get back from Japan It should actually be awesome, we already planned a lot of it out It's going to be good stuff You probably won't read this, but can you read my name? I read your name, but I'm not going to read it out loud because you spammed us La-ook and Nuth-uh-hee Yeah, you tried What else we got? What would you attempt if you knew you couldn't fail? Jumping out of the space station and landing on Earth What would I attempt if I knew I couldn't fail? Yeah, jumping out of the ISS and landing on Earth No, colonizing Mars in entirety Yourself, so basically how much sex would you be having? Tons I would colonize Mars I don't have a better answer than that, so I'm going to let you win You just won the entire show Guys, thank you Oh, I said I would unbox, right This is the new Blade 14 Want me to take your laptop? Yes, please I won't be needing that one anymore This is the laptop I'll be taking with me as a portable workstation for my trip to Asia I'll be getting on a plane in about 8 hours I am out of here I have a lot of people wondering what the heck I'm doing still here in Canada Because we released a video where in the beginning I'm like, well, assuming all goes according to plan, I'll be in Asia right now Yeah, okay, that's what happened That got pushed up on the schedule So many people have been like, well, because you tweeted something about something, I don't remember what And they're like, you just tweeted this, and I'm like, no I didn't They're like, don't you have control of Linus' Twitter account while he's on vacation? I'm like, first of all, no, second of all, he's not What? Okay, that makes way more sense Yeah, so that's how that went down Alright, so it comes packaged the same way as the other Blade 14s And the same way as like an Nvidia reference graphics card It's got a green stripe Now with 30% more stripe Ooh It is basically just a generational upgrade now with 30% more gen, the Razer Blade 14 There's a laptop inside Yay There is a laptop power adapter inside Also, a wire for it What else we got in here? Some manuals Yay, manuals Woooo, woooo Alright, then there's the laptop It comes in this plastic I hope there's a technical writer that writes manuals and I hope his name is Emmanuel I really hope there's a thing somewhere So the Blade 14 still looks just like the old Blade 14 Yay I like the green USB ports There's a couple things that are still, like I still, I love this ID Top facing speakers, it's got three USB 3 ports which is more than a lot of Super Slim laptops have The fact that the 870M or whatever was in the last one didn't throttle was super nice I don't know if that will continue to be true about the 970M, I haven't tried this one yet But the 970M throttled like wicked hard in that Gigabyte one that we just reviewed That's coming out soon by the way But I'm extremely excited to try it, there's still a couple things that aren't perfect It needs an SD card reader And why HDMI instead of mini display port? Like I literally can't think of a single compelling reason on the face of the earth I care Okay what would it be? It's more common If you're walking into a presentation place they'll have pre-run cables and they'll never have a display port Yeah but I could carry a mini display port to HDMI Who's going to do that other than you? And you can passively, cheaply adapt mini display port to anything But who's going to do that other than you? HDMI can't, okay, okay, well let's talk about your board room It's probably got a VGA projector You can adapt your HDMI to VGA? Yeah, didn't think so I'm on a Web 2.0 company that doesn't like display port On a Web 2.0 company? Yeah, because everyone who owns a Blade is going to only do presentations at Web 2.0 companies That is how the world works Speaking of how the world works Someone who owns a Blade probably isn't going to do a presentation at a company that has a VGA projector All good things that come to an end Wait, all good things All good things must come to an end Thank you Thanks for watching guys, I will see you on the other side When I'm back from my vacation, holy crap, my head is wet I'm not going to take mine off Linus Forsell said he wanted hats Linus Forsell gets what he wants Well I could put my hat back Where'd my hat go?
