 We're live Yes, I think we're live all right guys welcome to the WAN show I'm gonna go ahead, and I'm gonna turn my what are you doing? What are you doing? I I am I have my voice in my ear so I'm being confused Yes, and in so some of you may have noticed that last week when I had Harry Potter as my co-host the show managed to actually stay on topic and Some of you wish for that trend to continue, so I'm gonna do my utmost to not let him completely derail this show Yeah, we're just gonna bring Harry Potter back permanently So we got a break a bunch of great topics for you guys HTC's value has plummeted so much in the last four years that they are now effectively valueless more on that at 11 Alphabet a company called alphabet now owns Google not just owns like pwned to their base But like owns like they belong to them Also some poor farmer was quoted yes, I see Harry. Thank you You can touch me with your Harry something else, but not that one some farmer was quoted hundreds of thousands of dollars for an internet connection and Spotify oh, we've got a lot of great topics today actually Spotify Rumored to be ending their free music streaming, and do you want to do the last one of them certain something? Are adding three hours of eSports classes a week the video game high school is real is this gonna go I think it worked Oh crap sorry that thing sponsors today Squarespace Yeah Space did you just say desk space best space yeah best space also Whoo, that's a new one Tunnel bear start browsing privately today at total bear calm slash LTT okay now I'm gonna do a thing. I'm gonna put that back Okay, before we navigate away from it and then the intro will start playing Instead of having the ad spot on top of it when I switch the scene how much do you want to bet? It's just gonna break no no it shouldn't break. I have the intro stored locally on my machine now Yeah, see also. This is the latest x-split So we were still running a version of x-split that must have been like a year old on the stream computer in the old office Just because like and and it was like kind of like broken like that windows install itself is just Broken oh yeah, so that machine would just shut off and like we had our regularly occurring blue screens Thanks to our black magic capture cards and like all this stuff was broken about it So we actually what we needed to do was uninstall and reinstall in order to get the upgrade to work, and we just Never did it So I got we're actually running a proper version of x-split Yes, which is kind of the world's most pathetic thing, but isn't that like okay? Everyone has like that computer that probably only works because they know it's like We plug it into a different port then that it'll turn 60% of the time Every week you have to go in and like tell it to reignore the CPU fan header or whatever And that's the computer that you know we hosted our live broadcast on Because we're apparently freaking geniuses Yeah, we never actually claimed to be geniuses Linus Media Group takes That makes no claims as to why we why we are geniuses Luke tell Linus to Three asterisks up we want to hear you he ruined the last WAN show now hold on a second This is a discussion topic. What curse word is that? Tell Linus to blank up I wonder if it just changes all of them to three asterisks because if not that's really weird Tell Linus to because I'm just trying to think of an f-word because the f-word is a pretty versatile word Doesn't work there. No you failed. Yeah, so we got the sh word No, cuz very close to shut up. So maybe is that a new slang like is that what we should we start this? It's like, you know You know what son? Sorry, four letters. Oh, yeah, it's not even three letters. Yeah ass up. Do the rest of the wedge There you go, there you go. Don't fall good. Yeah. Well, that's kind of your crotch. Well, this chair does spin We do have these great chairs More yeah, thank you. There you go. Yeah Okay, all right, so we still don't know what's where that is. Yeah, we are absolutely no closer What are we supposed to be talking about I have let you derail the show already that was That was an alt account from you. Oh, yeah. Yeah bull shot Oh, come on that was pretty good that was not bad I like that one Okay, so Okay, go ahead go ahead company Alphabet now owns Google, but it's not and it's super serial Oh Wow, that was actually pretty I'm on today. I am on today my friend So it's actually not super serious Well, it might be super serial a lot of people freaked out when they read this. Oh my god I can't believe a company like Google could be acquired and it's like well, they were acquired by themselves Yeah, so this is just a new parent company that they created To help kind of sub a whole bunch of different companies probably for tax reasons to be completely honest Yeah, or for the appearances to shareholders reasons So what they've effectively done is they've Google is the the internet stuff brand. Yeah, so your YouTube's and your Google Chrome's and your Your Google Maps and your Hangouts Is all gonna be is all gonna be under that brand. Yeah, whereas Alphabet is also going to run sort of other Bizarro land stuff like x labs. Yeah, and I actually don't even know what Calico Life extension project is do you even know what that is? I've heard of that Okay, Calico life extensions mission is to harness advanced Technologies to increase our understanding of the biology that controls. So so basically, okay Oh, yeah life extension. So fairly fairly straightforward, you know You know, it's really funny about the the advancements that are being made in that right now. So both singularity and reversing the aging process are Potentially gonna happen in the next like hundred to two hundred years. We were that close We were that freaking close you and me. We're just gonna grow old and die and that's it. That's it but like Our generations kids. I know you're not playing Yeah, it feels like it kind of sucks Because you know like it but on the other hand, I mean, there's a lot of issues with people living forever that are Not easily resolvable and I think like this this is going the amount of them Not just the amount of them because that's actually pretty big problem, but Okay amount of them. I actually think particularly at the beginning The amount excuse me the amount of people living Forever will almost be a non issue at the beginning Yeah, because it's gonna be so expensive that it's gonna be a whole other issue of Only the rich and powerful being able to so so it's one thing if the rich and powerful can drive like a sweet car So like super rich people live forever and poor people die Just exactly If that is not like and if it's not a rat race now It's like nowadays Like if you're rich, you're like, yeah freedom 55 or whatever you retire young No, that's a whole other thing. So now it's like climb over the backs of your fellow human beings Are you able to make enough money so that you cannot die? Instead of are you able to make enough money so that you can retire? And then if you're not gonna die, well, do you have to work forever then I guess For like because you can bet and I mean, this is some tin foil hat stuff So if you're not into tin foil hat piece, see you later, but Can you imagine the first life? life extender Solution being You know a shot that you take once and then your life is extended forever No, it's gonna be a pill that you buy and you take every day Yeah, and even if they have the other solution There's no way that anyone is gonna give you the shot in the arm that reverses the aging process of yourselves And there's gonna be a whole bunch of other issues with living together or living together with living together We won't have you will work hard at it stay together for the kids With living forever, like your teeth are not gonna reverse their aging process. So you're gonna be like this weird reconstructed creature in certain ways and I'd be floored if they figure out how to reverse the aging process of everything So your eyesight you're gonna have like this super like old man eyesight I mean with that said they've got those new contacts coming and whatever you're hearing When they're working on stem cells and stuff What if they can grow you a new body and you just brain transplant? Well, that's a whole that's word that's been tackled like that's some that's some crazy stuff Like I forget what there's like some book and I think it's called The dog or something. No the the The parents have like a terminally ill kid like a degenerative disease kid And then they have another kid that's basically like spare parts or something along those lines or whatever like like that's that's some crazy next level stuff Yes, but I don't I don't mean like birthing a new child and using them as spare parts Which we've seen in I think more than one. Yeah, that's been done I'm talking about like No brain grow a body in a lab stem cell style Yeah, but see that becomes a very tricky question and like you religious arguments aside The conversation about what makes something a human is an incredibly complicated one I thought someone just called this autism the show and I was like what? What is it that we're talking about that made you say something so like that? Anyway, um, so so sorry sorry back back on topic. What makes something a human? Is it a body? Is it a is it a soul? Do we have a soul? These are all questions that we're not going to get into that we're not that we're not going to be able to answer because We don't actually have an answer yet. If you can transfer a consciousness You know if you if you believe in a soul, then have you also transferred the soul? Did the soul die? Is it now an abomination? Who knows so would you want to live forever? I don't know. I think I don't know. I feel like I would because I'm constantly interested in things And I'd be like technology moved on and changed now. This is another really interesting way of looking at it Is it worth it to live forever if everyone around you dies? And what if what if you were rich enough to keep yourself alive? But not let's see. Let's say you and your wife had to decide who can afford the like uber treatment I don't know if I could claim that for myself So that's that's exactly okay. How I do things I'd probably pass So then let's let's talk well then but what if what if the other like cuz I mean you see all these What if the other person wants to pass it? Right so what if what if what if old You know how old people walk and The most epic game of rock paper scissors Rock paper scissors death Oh my god So like would you want to leave behind all your brothers and sisters? You know what I mean? Yeah, and if you had kids like like like get this would you prefer to pass it down to your kids? And then if like like what if there was like your family could only afford like one fortune What if you could only keep one person alive and and remember No anti-aging treatment. No, I'm not married you saying conceptually Yeah, no anti-aging treatment is gonna you know prevent you from smashing your head open on a rock if you're climbing it Yeah, so there's no guarantee that it's even gonna work. Anyway, this isn't what's that? Awesome movie We need like Windows Server automatic nightly backup for brains I I suspect it would happen eventually and you just download into a new into a new body There's gotta be way like yeah, even if you can't 100% it if it could get extremely close Okay Here's a tough one for you. No, if they could okay. Well, no, I know yeah, but tell me this then if your Hypothetical wife if you're Hypothetical wife if your hypothetical wife was downloaded to a server somewhere. Yeah, she dies Yeah, and she gets rebooted ish. Are you married still? I think you would have to choose that legally before Before so I think you'd have to like sign a thing being like yes or no This is gonna be a whole new level of prenup kids. Yeah, but people when people are potentially married till death do us part Hold on a second married for like thousands of years. So it will become cheaper to kill your spouse and reboot them And to divorce oh Hunt this isn't working. Let's do it. Let's suicide pact reformat our lives Okay, do you still have your job? Right, I guess that would have to probably be in your You die if you died would I even know? I'd like you shaved in your bulb. You don't have your hair yet, right? Just like why do you shave your head I don't know Linus I do like minor changes It's like you come in and you're like you're like, you know, like, you know, never never mind You're like a bottom guy all of a sudden Oh, I thought you meant that differently I get it Never mind I didn't get it at first Okay, so one tricky thing for a back on topic about the whole Google Breaking itself apart into sub companies under hell of it is that they will still go by the stock tickers of G o o G L and G o o G. So they're still gonna trade under their old name And Yeah, I guess there's really not that much to say I say that a lot but like this is really not that interesting news and the Internet exploded about it Yeah, they're they're also their actual landing page ABC dot XYZ received over 1.9 million views after the announcement and the funny thing is Alphabet comm which Google actually doesn't own but and and is it wouldn't be an insignificant thing for Google to try to acquire since BMW sort of another global brand owns it. It's actually they're like business oriented Like corporate customer vehicle supply, you know fleet management leasing thing So BMW owns alphabet.com and they're apparently looking into trademark implications, but Don't intend to To take legal action against Google. Yeah Unless they probably need to in order to keep their stuff. This was posted by blade of grass on the forum Did you ever post the link in the chat? No, I did not Okay, so go ahead and drop that in there. The next article is Tesla is burning cash. This is not exactly This is not exactly groundbreaking either it costs a metric butt ton of money to develop cars just ask anyone who makes cars and Tesla is basically doing it without The sales to support what they're trying to do over here. I mean they're losing money per car. Yes, not oh, yeah No, not only Do they only have like So let's see how many model s is the one that matters we can sell They're actually losing somewhere in the neighborhood of four thousand to about fifteen thousand dollars per car Depending on how you crunch if you number Elon Musk's business history. This is super not surprising when PayPal first started He was paying people to open accounts He would put real money in your account when you opened one There's a lot of sites that'll be like you get credit on the site when you open an account No, he was putting cash money that cash dollars elsewhere that he would not get credit for When you open the account and it was not small. I don't remember how much it was but it was like You could go buy something probably with the amount of money that you put in your account. So he's he's buying market share Yep, effectively. Yeah, it's still expensive and that's but that's kind of life because they cost a lot of money to make so This is great. So they've actually burned through They've three hundred and fifty nine million dollars in cash last quarter Wow, and this combined with the production target cuts for 2016 Doesn't bode that well for their five hundred thousand car production target by 2020 So they have a mere one point one five billion on hand So enough to run for another three quarters at the rate they're going This is down from two point six seven billion one year ago So yeah, the rate at which they're burning through it is pretty consistent And not gonna let you down Which they're burning through it is pretty consistent and not gonna last them much longer And then the article from Reuters actually estimated that a new car can cost one billion or more to engineer and bring to market So that reduction in cash looks like development on well, we know they're working on other cars They're working on the model X and the model three. Excuse me Oh, I meant to say e excuse me three, but whatever the model three So Musk says there might be some value in raising capital as they move into 2016 Where they are expected to increase their spending due to the model three and the gigafactory So, yeah, we'll see how this whole thing plays out I mean, realistically, I think they're fine Realistically if Tesla's straight up like yep, we're doing another round of funding I don't think there will be any shortage of backers to try and get in on this one And they will be fine, but they might have to do another round of funding I mean, it's it's really interesting to see why it is then that the incumbent automakers aren't just going head-to-head with Tesla It's like well, why aren't they just matching Tesla's investment into electric cars? Well, because even if you're BMW or Audi, it's a lot of money And unlike a fledgling company, I mean Tesla is still a really young company Unlike a fledgling company, an established company with established shareholders That expects to get their established benefits from being shareholders You're gonna have to sell the idea of just spending money hand over fist on an unproved car With unproven, although I think we're pretty close to it being a foregone conclusion that electric cars are gonna be a thing But on an unproven market where you don't have well, here's the last 50 years of sales and market data The car, the auto industry doesn't move that fast It really doesn't, it's kind of sad This was posted by Snow Comet on the forum I'm gonna fire up lenovo.com where we are gonna learn about actually a pretty cool Pretty cool little release, you wanna handle this, puppy? I have read zero of these topics Oh, oh that's right, you were working on the Ultimaker 2 thing today And filming two videos Well, okay And getting new internet You know what? Yeah, super stoked Right, you have new internet at your house now, right? Yes, also have internet at my house, that's a pretty important part of that Right Because I haven't had internet for a while and then they were supposed to come today and they came at one of the least opportune times It would have been worse if they came during Wenshow That is true If you were just like, peace, I need to go get internet I'd be like, yeah, I get it Because if I didn't have internet at my house, I would basically be living at the office same as you That was pretty good timing because honestly, even if I had internet, I wasn't gonna be leaving I needed to get that print working So I wasn't on the computer using the internet I was working on the print, like my feet hurt Right Because it's on a standing desk and I was working on it for so long I'm looking forward to watching that review because I have spent almost no time with the Ultimaker I legit don't want anyone else printing off of it People can make models, people can find whatever models they want and then I'll do the printing part There's some trickiness, there's some And like, I think it was five or six, I don't remember, five to six and a half hours last night Where I was just troubleshooting Wow Straight So I learned a lot about the printer I heard from the Twitch chat that they basically walked you through it Morph, morphine-y, he helped a lot Okay Yeah Alright, well maybe that's what people were saying So, Lenovo ushers in a new era of mobile workstation power and performance With the ThinkPad P50 and P70 So they're not the first ones to try and build a mobile workstation At all No Like, at all But, but these ones are definitely the most powerful and badass looking ones that we've ever seen So the P70 is the 17 inch model, the P50 is the 15 inch model And the P70 is loaded up with 64 gigs of ECC DDR4 memory It can handle up to a terabyte of SSD storage over PCI Express And up to four storage devices It also comes with two Thunderbolt 3 ports So Thunderbolt 3 is 40 gigabit per second if I recall correctly Five gigabyte And Sorry? Five gigabyte Yeah, thereabouts And is USB-C, is a USB-C connector or something along those lines I actually haven't looked into it enough Yeah, it's through a USB 3 type C connector So Well Okay That's one thing that doesn't Can you not? Thank you That's one thing that I wish I could adjust Or maybe I can and I haven't yet But the snapping aggressiveness in the latest versions of Xsplit It's nice to be able to move things around freely But I wish it would snap a little bit more decisively So there you go That's what the connector looks like This is on ThunderboltTechnology.net This is great More speed, more pixels, more power, more protocols Display port, PCIe, Thunderbolt and USB 3 SuperSpeed It can also deliver up to 100 watts of power And two 4K displays So epic So that is some pretty BA technology So it'll come with that And what else is there to really say about it? A Xeon CPU You're going to need that for that ECC memory support And then they also feature Quadro GPUs But I don't see exact models And these aren't going to be available until Q4 2015 Although I have already reached out to Lenovo And we are already confirmed to be getting a review sample Nice So we can check it out in person And I'll let you guys know what's up Because let's face it There's a lot of powerful laptops out there But there's a difference between a workstation And just any old laptop or notebook This is a great topic of discussion Did you know that there is a difference Between a laptop and a notebook? No They are not the same thing I didn't know that The amount of crap that I've gotten about this From one of our particular partners Every time I say the wrong one Is significant What's the difference? So, the irony is that Neither of them is intended to run in your lap That was done away with a very long time ago When heat existed A laptop is larger and bulkier But smaller than a desktop replacement Okay A notebook is smaller But not an ultrabook And I was like That's kind of what I expected I was going to say notebook is going to have to be a smaller one So this is kind of a notebook Because of its size But I think in terms of its power It would be more of a laptop And then this is a notebook That's an ultrabook Because the definition of ultrabook Is a little flexible Depending on whether it is a two in one Which used to be called a convertible So this one has a tablet mode So, yeah, there you go If you guys didn't know that Then you learned a completely useless fact today As Burkle is so fond of doing Speaking of Burkle Oh man, he has outdone himself On the car painting video That's over on Vessel right now And it's going to be coming to YouTube Sometime next week But if you guys have a Vessel membership A surprising number of our viewers Actually don't know that Channel Superfun Is also over on Vessel It's not just Linus Tech Tips Tech Quickie and Channel Superfun are both there But this is something else This car painting video I think I'm about to show an ad So I'll just put that away for now So you guys don't have to listen to that And then I'll go ahead and Oh, wow, there was no ad Worst intro we have ever done Many episodes ago Yeah, so this is where the Here, basically I'll I'll give you guys a sneak peek At just exactly what is going down That is me That is me in my old Student Works painting shirt From my house painting days So, yes, you will witness that And many other things In the Channel Superfun car painting episode So that is some good stuff right there Let's move on Intel, this was posted by Jesper 101996 And Intel says The shortages of Broadwell And Skylake CPUs will Be going away So if you've been wondering about Where exactly you can get A 5775C For example, that's the Broadwell chip Or a 6700K, that's the Skylake Core i7 Then supply is expected To improve soon And we should see more of everything As Q3 progresses So Q3 is August September, October, no July, August September, yes That is Q3, so throughout The rest of Whatever is going on right now This is a pretty good, oh this was originally Posted on techreport.com, we'll go ahead And pull that puppy up there And I don't know if I ever actually Posted this in the Twitch chat This is why this show is hard to run by myself This is why I have trouble with What the devil is going on here So This is apparently like a Happy new office gift Five pizzas They know how many, they know enough To know where we are, but they don't Know enough to know how many people work here So there's pizzas specifically For specific people, so this is For Nick and Justin Okay, so There you go, here come take this We're apparently doing pizza Distribution, okay I'll Read off what it is, so this is Pizza five for Nick and Justin You guys are five, get wrecked bro It's from Ixie Hazy Nipton Mate It is Basically as pepperoni, bacon, Jalapenos and goat chicken This one is From the same people, not surprising This one is for Taryn and John They got wrecked I knew someone was going to get pranked And it was Taryn and John Okay, so the cheese is mozzarella and the toppings are Pineapple, anchovies, Oysters, and sour cream So that's why they ordered five pizzas So that some of them could be horrible So this one is ours You can read that one off Okay, what do we got here Pepperoni, green peppers, jalapenos Bacon and grilled chicken With mozzarella and Cheddar cheese That is a wicked sounding pizza The boss is straight up not sharing that one I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get a pizza dude Okay, that sucks That's for That one's pretty rocking Okay, so we got, this is for Dennis and Burkle Green peppers, red peppers, jalapenos, hot banana Pepper, spicy pepperoni, and spicy Italian sausage Burkle went home early So I guess Dennis is going to have to eat this one all by his lonesome And the last one This is for Brandon and Ed And this is pretty plain Jane Mozzarella, cheese, pepperoni, bacon, and jalapenos So guys get in here and claim your pizzas So guys get in here and claim your pizzas So guys get in here and claim your pizzas I'll send this Yeah, poor John and Taryn Yeah, poor John and Taryn Why are you guys so mean Alright, so here's a pretty great topic This was posted by Jesper101996 on the forum This was posted by Jesper101996 on the forum The original article here is from ours, Tecnica The original article here is from ours, Tecnica I'm going to go ahead and pull it up Get out of here Go away The door out closes automatically You want fiber internet? That'll be $383,500 That'll be $383,500 Oh jeez What? I love how ISPs I love how ISPs seem to have this thing Where it's like, oh, you want us Like companies, like McDonald's If you want a McDonald's in your town You can probably email them or something And they'll probably come build a store if you have enough people Yeah, they get enough requests and they do You know, like a business case Analysis Can I say thanks to Nibs, Maeve, and Ixie? No you can't, I covered the mic Damn. That was Ed, he says thanks So yeah They'll do like, you know, like a business case and proposal And if they can find a franchise owner They might have different business models for all well and good Depending what business it is Basically getting a co-investor Effectively, right? No I love ours, Tecnica These guys do such a great job of ripping ISPs a new one So the basic summary is this The farmer says Okay, I would like to get Your fiber network extended to my farm in Sarisco, Nebraska Which is only four and a half miles away from Windstream, that's the name of the ISP Away from their nearest fiber facility Actually in the grand scheme of things Not that bad Really not that far Really not that far, I mean We were looking at, you know, not a completely Trivial distance down the road from us And I think our build out cost was Five digits Not six Even better actually The farmer was able to determine that there appeared to be a Windstream fiber line about a quarter mile from his property Which is confirmed by a map of their fiber network A quarter mile from his property Is not bad But Apparently they refused to connect him to that line Citing some sort of Stating that it's some sort of reserved Private Windstream only line Which, if you guys know anything about the kind of data capacity Of that fiber is capable of Very unlikely It is basically not a thing You don't run fiber anywhere Without dark fiber Like without extra capacity And even if you only had One piece of fiber Even if there was just one Which there isn't Even if there was just one It's not like you can't split multiple signals Across a single piece of fiber That is a thing It's just fine There's no way they need the entire capacity of it Just for themselves So after receiving this ridiculous quote They contacted another network provider Northeast Telephone Company And even though they're completely out of their service area They quoted the farmer $41,900 So just over 10% The previous estimate To extend their fiber line So they're not going to be able to To extend their fiber line They also offered a $6,000 credit For any other customer that signed up Using the line that the farmer was paying to install You know what the stupid thing is We got a quote from Telus For this place And they came in Even though they're like The fiber infrastructure in British Columbia Like it's Telus Or someone leasing from Telus Telus came in Several times More expensive In every possible way Compared to any other quote we got Like they were completely out to lunch And I was like So is the service different? And they're like Well we can offer services like A cell phone failover And I'm like right But unless I'm buying Like a thousands of dollars a month Cell phone plan Like I could not just buy that Couldn't I just get like a 4G Hot spot stupid thing And put it in my server room Like if that's my plan If that's my backup internet plan Or if I wasn't a complete idiot Couldn't I just get like a residential line From you Or Shahar or something And run that into the building as well It's like 80 bucks a month For like something that's good enough To keep the office operational In the extremely unlikely Event that the fiber connection Is unavailable like come on You guys are ridiculous So it's unclear why Windstream's fee was so much higher But they confirmed it when contacted by Ars Technica Stating that the total quote was For 36 months of dedicated Internet service and they When pressed for further information as to how Exactly they calculated that did not Respond about the private line A quarter pile from the property So Yeah, you know what why don't I do that And why don't you run off and get some plates Because I'm hungry, are you hungry? Let's eat some food So it is sponsor time Speaking of the internet One of our sponsors today is Actually a new one TunnelBear.com And you're going to want to go over to TunnelBear.com slash LTT If you want to start browsing privately And to be I was about to say this is going to tie really well To one of our topics later on in the show The whole Windows 10 and Not a whole lot of privacy with Windows 10 But actually this wouldn't help you With anything that's Directly installed on your computer that's sending Your information to someone else but Anyone trying to spy on What you're doing externally this does Throw another obstacle in the way So it's an easy use privacy app for mobile And desktop you can tunnel Through 14 different countries Allowing you to browse the internet as though you're in that country This is great for services that aren't Available in your country for example It secures your internet when you're on public Wi-Fi, great when traveling Or at a conference or just at a Restaurant or whatever else the case may be And once you turn TunnelBear on your internet Connection is fully encrypted you don't have to be Technical to use or install TunnelBear And they have friendly support bears That are standing by 24 hours a day They have 5 million Users and you can try it out for Free you can get 500 Megabytes of data for free Every month and an extra gig If you tweet at them If you need more data prices for unlimited plans Start at $6.99 a month very reasonable Download it today to browse The internet privately tunnelbear.com Slash LTT And we'd love to hear from you guys if you have Experience with TunnelBear because they are a new sponsor For us so always Great to hear from you guys if you think we've You know picked a good thing to talk about Although our next sponsor is one that we don't Really have any ambiguity about Because we know Squarespace totally kicks butt Squarespace Build it beautiful Linus Why do you hate me?

I don't know I actually don't know The Sydney Morning Herald I was just kind of having fun with that We're both completely wrong Oh also I want to say Taryn did eat one slice of that pizza Did he? Yeah What? Yeah the anchovy oyster pizza God that's so weird Anyways sorry, shortages ending soon So yeah basically They're getting pressured by Universal, Warner, and Sony Who are basically Yet to renew Their licenses to Spotify To host music for their artists So this is like serious business Go premium only And compete head to head with all the other services That are This has got to be a collusion Lawsuit waiting to happen Like just stifling competition But the problem is that it will take 10 or 20 years to actually resolve it And by that time Streaming might even be irrelevant Maybe there's a dot that you stick up your nose That contains all the music ever made And you just run a wire From your nose to your ear So Is it called a babble fish? In Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? I actually have never seen or read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy That makes me sad Anyways you put like a little fish in your ear Because Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy And it translates everything that you hear Yeah that makes sense Maybe not a fish, but if science could solve that problem for me That would be great Like a magic booger So there you go So we haven't seen anything from Spotify yet But yeah There's really not too much else to say This is like the super uninterestingest Rumor ever Because I think a lot of people were really Confused Due to the model names About what this meant So a lot of the headlines that I looked at And a lot of forum discussion Was that GTX 990M For notebooks Maybe based on the desktop GTX 980 Which To me is the least Interesting thing ever Nvidia does this every time The confusing thing is That there's sticklers about model names When it comes to desktop and mobile Which is why they skipped the 300 series But then they don't care about the rest of the numbers Nope What? And it's not the first time they've done this 990M Being based on the 980 desktop Is not significant at all 980M is already based on the 980 desktop So we might get A little bit more power or something The interesting stuff about this though Is that Nvidia is not launching an MXM module card this time That's the current word on the street And They are apparently going to be letting The laptop designers Really build their cooling solution And their laptop And power delivery To be able to Use their laptop and power delivery Around how much of the chip They want to unlock So the way it's always worked in the past Is that a laptop With a part X Performs Y 990M notebooks could be All over the place And I mean this has already been happening To a much lesser extent with GPU boost With throttling and boosting So this could be a completely different level Speaking of GPU boosting We actually have filmed The video where we took 6 Titan Xs and compared Their boost levels to find out how much Performance variance there is So stay tuned for that guys It's filmed like back in the kitchen We kind of forgot about it Apparently I don't know I made it and then I was like Oh I'm excited to see when that comes on YouTube And then I was like Why is it taking so long Yes Because literally no one has looked at it At all since you filmed it So that's Great This is an original Article from NGadget Originally posted by Artie By the way the last one was Ah Ming The FBI says Retweeting terrorist organizations Could get you investigated And or even Arrested So you probably Shouldn't You shouldn't need the FBI to tell you this Honestly yeah That's one thing I thought about when I read this I saw some comments I don't know what site it was on I have people talking about this And I can't believe That they would think this Why are you doing this What kind of tool shed is retweeting ISIS propaganda Period Yeah I don't blame them at all I don't even know why They're telling us they should have just probably been doing it This isn't even the FBI being like We're going to monitor your NSA Chip inside your brain No You posted it on social media That's a public thing This is very very public This is exactly the kind of stuff That they should be taking advantage of It's like parading around in front of the White House With like an I support ISIS Shirt on You don't think someone's going to ask what the crap you're doing? So there you go I mean Basically what the FBI said Is that Twitter has proved to be an invaluable Source of evidence against supporters of Terrorism An account that's constantly retweeting content Could be a sign of criminal activity With that said context still matters So if it's like an awareness Like these are Bad accounts or maybe this is What they're doing Make sure you know kind of style thing I'm sure it's fine But if you're like a rah rah kind of account Then it's probably, are you ok? I bit my tongue You know what really sucks is when you bite your Cheek or your tongue And then you go to like check it and then bite the other thing So don't do that And then it swells and you start biting it all the time And you just get this like flab of cheek skin Swelling unexpectedly is a big problem for me Is it? I swell very expectively Consistently? Which is always during the wine show An example of a tweet that got someone arrested Was 17 year old Ali Shukri Amin 17, no ok that's twice there Who used Twitter to promote Bitcoin donations to ISIS So go to jail Yeah Bye bye Again I don't understand why they even bothered to Tell us because they should have just been doing this This seems extremely Expected, a lot of the news this week is like Yup Someone made a parent company for themselves Elon Musk's business models Make it so that they bleed money at the beginning And you probably shouldn't be Friends with terrorists Alright so This is just a really quick one The original article here is PCGamer.com Microsoft plans to Support Gaming on Windows By supporting Steam On Windows 10 or Something Games for Windows was a prior approach where it was more At the time like How do we take things We knew we wanted to help make great multiplayer We knew we wanted to bring things over but it wasn't the right Approach, it was the approach of Let's just take things and transplant them You know, something something and is Microsoft Tying to use the Windows user base to challenge Steam No, we're not intending to compete with Steam, if anything we want them to be more successful They've done great things for PCGamer in terms of So Microsoft is going to support Steam by doing nothing So They're going to support Steam by not directly Inhibiting Steam's progress Yeah, so that's cool I guess DirectX 12, well apparently not Oh that was posted by Zmule on the forum By the way and the previous one was Artie This is by HK05 And the original article here is PCRonline.biz And our headline topic Of Mantle being dead Is apparently not Factual, so AMD's gaming scientist Richard Huddy What is with What is with these titles Like Lin Lang Tan, nice guy, gave me this laptop Calls himself Chief Gamer Gaming Scientist Like It's like what, did everyone at AMD Play Portal and so It's like yes We need to do more science Also we need to sell things to gamers What about gaming And science together And then there's Logitech's whole like standing there going Well actually hold on a second, our tagline is Science wins, so Can you just not actually So Mantle was intended to solve a Problem that game Devs care about, they can use It for the same task in the future Although no one is going to No one is going to develop For an API that Anyway DirectX 12 means Mantle has achieved its aim Although I mean DirectX 12 was in development Way before AMD, anyone even knew that Mantle was a thing Mantle will be used to solve different problems In the future No, Mantle has been absorbed By Chronos and Any useful Coded bits of it have been Borrowed by DirectX 12 And that's it, I really don't know why Like, okay To be clear, I see what he's saying Like Mantle will live on Like, you know, in the DNA of other Technologies, the concept of Mantle The goals of Mantle will live on But It's possible that Battlefield 4 is the only game Or whatever, Thief I guess The games that are out now are possibly The only games that will ever exist Where you change your rendering engine to Mantle And then, even then, it didn't really do anything Yeah, I think that was my favorite part of the whole thing At least it wasn't worse They didn't make it worse Mantle, at least it wasn't worse They didn't hurt People for using it Which is good Alright, this is cool News.Sky.com Sorry? I know we're not dropping crates, but everyone's freaking out Well, okay, nothing we can do about that Sky News says The UK to test Wireless charging for electric Cars So check that out This right here is an electric Recharging lane So as you drive, your car would Recharge, that is some Seriously awesome Use of taxpayer dollars Canada decided to do stuff like that And you wouldn't have to do it everywhere Because the plan in the UK is also to put Charging stations, I think every 20 miles Or something stupid like that, like just Awesome But the idea is that if you put that on the main throw first Like imagine if you have that Where people get stuck in traffic So if you're gonna be stuck in traffic And your battery's gonna be draining You got your air conditioning on or whatever Hey, it's all good I'm not gonna get stuck here But if you're just going on a trip Off the main drag where you've got the Charging lanes, then that's fine That's predictable I love this, this is like the coolest thing ever Pretty much What is there to really say about it British government has committed 500 million pounds Over the next five years to keep Britain at the forefront Of this technology And the trials are expected to last for approximately 18 months And subject to the results could be followed By road trials And solar roadways Yes it does That was a whole load of crap Yeah, it was kind of funny how the internet exploded I could almost see Some kind of Heated roadways Versus electric solar panel Roadways, there's a thousand Other ways to tackle that That wouldn't involve Completely tearing up every single road One tip for the live viewers By the way Apparently refreshing the stream helps a lot Anyways, keep on watching HTC stock value is Tanking, apparently it's less than their cash Holdings which renders them more Or less worth nothing Which is Not great And the sad thing about that is that We really need Vibe to come out No, no, no, well that too Vibe looks badass So, get this, HTC trading Below their cash value Leaves the brand with no value Not just the brand with no value Okay, this leaves Their buildings that they own With no value So basically the consensus Is that their liabilities Things like That I think something like 30% Of their assets are inventory 30% Yeah, 30% of the asset value comes From inventory and accounts receivable So they're saying that their liabilities More than Compensate for Buildings that they own And that the HTC brand Itself, that HTC logo Is effectively worth Nothing Wow So, to be clear This is not Something that happened overnight They had 27.9 billion In cash In 2011 and now have just over 1.45 billion Okay And you gotta look at it and go, you know if Tesla Can make a car for a billion dollars What have you been doing? What did HTC do with it? That's only four years They have no long term debt I mean that makes sense cause they had 28 billion in the bank Why would they be taking out loans? But they haven't managed to be profitable And basically The word on the The general consensus among industry analysts Is that they won't be able to get profitable And yeah They have little chance to compete With future iPhone and Samsung Devices To be completely honest I really don't see people diving on HTC phones Much lately The 1M9 is kind of Not great I mean I think my review of it, I did review it So I've already said what I had to say about it But it's like kind of not very great Yeah And we're going Like even more than before We're going down to just a few brands On mobile that really matter And I mean the fact that Samsung woke up And stopped completely crapping itself The S6 and the S6 Edge are excellent Phones. There seems to be a fair bit Of hype about Note 5. I actually haven't Really, I haven't watched The event or anything like that Cause I tend to just Kind of take a When I get a phone then I'll deal with it Approach to mobile devices but And I don't blame you for that It looks like a fair bit of hype right now Oh that was posted on the forum by MrStraightFace Dupain is apparently turning Back on their nuclear reactors This is Well they were turned off in response To a meltdown back in 2011 So the Fukushima meltdown Basically shut down all The nation's nuclear power plants And then they switched the first one Back on as of Looks like about 3 days Ago. So there is a higher Tsunami wall and a lot Of new security measures The new regulations are incomparably Stricter than the past And this is likely in response to the Energy prices in Japan Skyrocketing by 30% In the last 4 years I mean the cold hard truth Is that nuclear power for all Of its risks like It's such a catch 22 right? Because It's like driving though Because when people are like oh they shouldn't Increase speed limits because they're More dangerous it's like well We also shouldn't drive 30 everywhere And the issue Sometimes you need to take some risks And I mean that's easy for us to say Like way over here in Canada where we're just Powered by falling water which is About as dangerous to people Who aren't sitting under the dam As like I mean it's less dangerous than Solar power because the sun is Like cancer and what not. No Well it's more than water No because A dam burst can be dangerous. But we're Not under it. So the dam Is hundreds and hundreds of kilometers Away what do we care? Yeah but Solar power isn't going to hurt you But the sun You can't just get rid of the sun if you don't Want solar power It's going to be there anyways. The sun isn't There because of solar power. Okay my point Is that hydro power is. DC hydro didn't Install the sun. My point is that hydro Power is safe for the people Who aren't near the dam okay? But it's like this Catch 22 because the denser your population The more Optimal nuclear power looks Because you don't have to burn all this Coal. You don't have like You know. Solar power fields Hectares and hectares of you know Windmills and Crap like that. Wind power So but the denser your Population well the Higher risk nuclear power is the more People have to be near a nuclear power plant We're working on stuff like We are personally? Yes. Yes. Yes. That's what this new headquarters building is for It's for the Linus Museum. We're working on developing Tidal power in a building Away from the ocean With no water Facilities. We could be closer to the ocean Than you think. We're working On technology that will actually Have the ocean here. Yeah Sick Anyways Yeah tidal power geothermal Is being revolutionized constantly Solar. Getting solar more ubiquitous Like getting every building with solar on top of it Will make it a lot more effective Yep. Big difference. There's every Year solar like how Well the solar power Panels the cells actually Perform massively increases Storage solutions for them get way Better like the tesla wall power thing We have 11,000 viewers that's new all time high Yeah. Woo Pizza party That gets way better. Everything gets way better In terms of solar every year. Geothermal Is moving up to tidal power Still has a ton of development going on It's still a little cray but they've got A lot of development going on like alternatives Are coming but nuclear Is strong in here now and you can Say whatever you want about it they should maybe be using Thorium reactors or whatever. Not only Is nuclear here now they actually have The plants now. Yeah they just turn Them back on with more safety measures Which should definitely be a thing. Yep Yeah. Alright the ESL this is posted by XYRZBest The ESL announces details Of their anti-doping Policy. So There's actually a bunch of different sources for this one We're gonna pull up the polygon one just for Because polygons are cool And their shapes and so I like shapes So you wanna go ahead and Run through what's going on here? I also haven't read this one. Okay well then Fine So they adopt the world Anti-doping agencies prohibited substance And We're back? We're back Okay Pizza stream Taking down the X split Okay so We had so many viewers that The local application crashed Yeah Doesn't work that way Right here's where I was leaving off So you can make all kinds of arguments For marijuana Not being a performance enhancing Substance Although I do know people That play better when playing Video games while they're maybe possibly Under the influence of the marriage Seriously? Yes. But That is a different problem and that's because They play more often When they're under the influence. Right So it's a regularization. So it's no secret that Playing under your Ideal conditions where you've practiced Is a good idea But like I mean that whole thing with Ross Rebeggliatti Was that in like 2004? I think it's Wow I'm old. So a Canadian snowboarder Who Did he end up getting his given back but he had his Gold medal stripped because Of THC and we're kind of sitting here Snowboarding Snowboarding culture Particularly in the earlier Days You throw a rock in a room Of Canadian snowboarders and you're going to hit Someone who's smoked a little bit of grass In their day And then there was the whole thing with Michael Phelps Where he didn't, he wasn't even Tested positive. He had He had a doobie in his hand At a party once And someone like shared that picture So Anyway It's good they're doing something. This is all in Response to If You Didn't Catch It. We talked about This on WAN Show before By Corey Semphis Friesen's admission Last month that the professional Counter-Strike Global Offensive player used Adderall During the ESL One Catawis event In March and the quote was We were all on Adderall I don't even give an F It was pretty obvious if you listen to the Coms people can hate it or whatever So testing positive could result In a range of punishments from reduced Prize money and tournament points To disqualification and a maximum Two year ban from ESL events That's actually scary. Reduced prize money They're gonna wanna win And if they take Adderall and do better and have Reduced prize money they'll just probably win more money anyway But a two year suspension in pro gaming Is basically a lifelong suspension The careers are phenomenally short You have a very narrow window Where you have to be really Successful and then maybe you get a coaching job After. Cause like You're still way better than The humans but you're not good enough So you know The funny thing about this To me is that Substance Abuse. Okay and this Something like Adderall Might not even be abuse. This is just Testing positive for it Period. That's A prescription medication potentially I mean. I'm sure if you Have a prescription for it Not necessarily. No there's Lots of stuff like that. Like legitimate Prescriptions at NBA or whatever like They test positive for it. Boom. No. Done Done. Done. Suspension. And the thing about this is like Where do we draw the line? Is the line where you're competing For money? Because Okay. Should I suspend Luke? If I find out that he's been popping Ritalin before he comes into work so he can Focus better? This isn't a competition But isn't it? Isn't the workplace Competitive? Are you not competing for promotions? For Recognition from your boss or your Peers? Which I never get Anymore This is what you have Luke And go back in your Harry Potter Closet But think about that for a second Is where do we draw the line now? You can't play video games and I realize that I have made exactly The opposite argument previously on the show This is as much a devil's Advocate thing as anything Else But where do we draw the line? Are you not allowed to take Adderall? Should we just ban the drug out right now? No, it makes people Perform better. It's not fair. And honestly a lot of people That I know that are Really good at video games Whether or not it's true Because there's some hubbub about that But ADD or ADHD? A lot of people That I know that are really good at video games So like you're gonna be excluding a lot Of people that would be prescribed for these drugs And looking at the states What's prescription rates In the states for Adderall and Rillin? I don't remember but It's something obscene yeah The thing about ADHD Is that and I feel like I can Talk about this fairly critically because I was An ADHD kid I was on Rillin very legitimately By the way I might add but What is A legitimate prescription For Rillin? Because you see a lot of kids Getting Rillin subscriptions Rillin prescriptions yeah It's like Hold on Dollar Shave Club isn't a sponsor Dollar Rillin Club We send you Rillin once a month For a low monthly fee And if you had a prescription of that stuff And there was a service like Dollar Rillin Club I'd be down with that It's a good business model they know what they're doing I would be down to get my prescriptions delivered online If I didn't think that every company Selling prescription medications online Was only interested in selling me fake Viagra So no Hold on So back to that The symptoms That get someone a Rillin prescription And I talk about Rillin because that was the drug back in my day I think it's Adderall now but whatever The thing that gets you A Rillin prescription is Being hyper Which doesn't have to be a bad thing So show me a red blooded 8 year old That isn't a little hyper And you know what the reality of it is My childhood was pretty complicated And if I Wasn't acting out If I wasn't a little off the wall Then there was probably something even more wrong with me So is a Rillin prescription The answer or should we be finding the underlying issue A lot of the time ADHD gets used as a catch all diagnosis It's kind of like And sometimes it will be real I'm sure But it does get used as a catch all And the thing that people have to understand too Is that ADHD is a spectrum It's like autism You're not like 100% Autistic or 0% autistic Just like you're not 100% ADHD like all over the place I have to do a thousand things right now Or you just sit like a lump like this It's a spectrum So where is the line drawn It's very complicated And you look at something like autism Where I believe Asperger's Which was kind of like mild autism spectrum Has actually been removed As an official diagnosis By at least I think my mom was telling me There was some organization that has Eliminated as a diagnosable condition Because basically The symptom was being kind of like Socially awkward And like So who isn't? Who isn't a little hyper? Who isn't a little socially awkward? So it became sort of like Where is the line? If I'm not prepared for someone to recognize me Or notice me, I'm the weirdest person ever If I'm like Totally not thinking about that possibility at all Someone's like, hi! And one is just like Hey I'm like Just cause I was like Completely taken off guard They were like, hey Linus And I've gotten more used to it now The really awkward one for me though Sorry I'm totally going off on a tangent Is I'm pretty bad with names and faces So it's when people are like Hey Linus, and I'm like hey And I just think they're a fan or whatever But it's actually someone I know That sounds like me That's super Super, super awkward Apparently there's two minutes left on the print Oh wow really? That's fun I wish that power supply was working I'm going to play around with it a little bit After the show and see if I can figure out what's going on This is a pretty exciting topic though This is from Gosugamers.net And this is This is going to be a definite opinion piece Right here Or piece of opinion, or I don't know What you want to call this We are straw pulling the crap out of this one Esports in skill I think I got to I got to give more than the usual options So yes, gaming So hold on Practical gaming theory And You know like I don't know Okay Okay Yes Just theory Yes, just practical Gaming, so do you want to talk about this A little bit while I I don't think there's a ton to say Basically a few schools in Sweden Not like Certain schools, not all of them Will be putting about Three hours of esports class A week, so remembering how they do high school I don't know if they do it this way in Sweden You have blocks So you might have like an hour long block Three times in one week So like Monday, Wednesday, Friday or something I'm assuming that's how it's going to work Peoples will be able to practice and learn games Such as Dota 2 and Counter Strike Just to name a few None are supporting full blown Esports programs yet, but certain Alignments can take classes in Dota, Counter Strike and Esports in general It's really funny that they're called alignments Yeah It's like if you're a If you're a passive alignment Then you can take esports class But no woodworking for you That sounds a lot like video game high school Where it was like, are you an RPG player And that's what class system you were in So you could go with like Racing, and then you took all the racing Classes, that's what you were You were a racing student, you didn't do the RPG stuff You might in your own free time after class But in class you're a racing student So They're treated as normal Athletic subjects, access to rooms And areas designated for practice School teams will be formed with the Goal of competing at events With the goal of competing at events They're planning on bringing in Players and personalities for guest lectures Which probably wouldn't be that hard to find In Sweden, to be completely honest They're really good at those things At one school, students studying Events will also get to host a large Tournament as their third year final Project, that's pretty interesting Yeah, the school system must get better In general in educating people about The contemporary society And this is good evidence of that very fact I think it's interesting that it's So that was a quote, that's from Ibrahim Khalifa Chairman of Education and Employment In Sigtona County Yeah, Stockholm And that's a good point, isn't it? We've got nobody voting on the straw poll Oh balls, I think I posted it in the wrong chat I think I had the wrong chat open Here's another pretty cool quote There have been some frowning noses And some wondering why they get to play Computer games during school hours But we aim to kill the myth that it is That it has to be a bad thing Furthermore, it is about showing Respect to this group of peoples Now there's some interesting things Kids that aren't going to want to engage Or straight up won't engage At least positively in gym class Like You can't expect every kid that goes to Gym class to get on an NFL team And like we've all known that But one of the reasons why people do it is because of Team building exercises, physical fitness All this other kind of stuff Well, eSports classes could work Very much in the team building exercises way It could help these kids get in Different social circles If you're someone who's not necessarily going to do great in gym class Maybe this could be one of your avenues To build a team and make friends that way Or honestly, a lot of the really good Players that I know Are really physically fit, so maybe it's just Another avenue It can be very mentally stimulating Especially some of these hard games, you're very engaged the whole time I don't think it's a terrible thing I don't know about 3 hours a week Yeah, I'm really In high school you get to pick your courses, right? I'm really not sure How I would feel about my son Coming home and being like Yeah, I enrolled in gaming level 2 Well in high school you'd probably be a part of that conversation Yeah, or like Okay, fine, here's my suggested Course load that I'm taking I'm going to take chemistry, Dota And mathematics If he had a spare I mean, the thing for me Is that Honestly, I had a few spares Because my school just didn't have anything better to offer me So, here's my problem If you're going to be like I have no problem with a school Dota team That I don't object to But you want it to be extracurricular I think it should be extracurricular I don't think it needs to be during class time And the reason that PE I think they should encourage school Yes School teams No problem with that at all I think that's great I think being part of a school team And being part of your school's culture Is really important and cool But the reason that PE gets a pass from me Because PE was something that I stopped taking immediately when I didn't have to anymore Not because I couldn't do it Or whatever I just thought it was a waste of my time I have to be in school during this time Like when I was in high school I didn't take a free block I took no free block, I took no PE I took all my sciences Even though you only had to take I think one Or something to graduate One grade 12 level science Or did you even need any 12 level So I did all my grade 12 level sciences I think you needed 10 or 11 or something And stuff like that Because I'm in school to learn And video games are not learning And quite frankly throwing a basketball At a hoop is not learning either Unless you're serious about it In which case you're on the team And you're attending practices before or after school And it's a serious part of your life It's secondary School is learning And PE, the reason that I give it a pass for existing at all Is that the rationale behind it Whether it works or not Is very much an open discussion And not one that I'm going to get into now But the rationale behind it is that it's about Getting into the habit of doing some exercise daily Which is a good Life long habit to have And getting kids used to that idea Especially I mean I don't know what the culture is like After going to university that doesn't work So I don't know what the culture is like In Sweden but Here even for very Little kids, PE might be The only exercise these kids are getting On a given day And having it exist at all If that does anything If it does Nothing else It reduces the barrier to entry For learning a sport And I'll explain what that means Like badminton I think one of the big things holding it back I love badminton, I play badminton all the time One of the big things holding badminton back Is it is damn near impossible To pick it up Because where do you play? Well it's kind of fragmented There's like badminton centers but the only way to play there Is to either go play drop in With like all these people Of varied skill levels Most of which show up with a clique of friends To play drop in together so there's almost No one to play with If you're not very good, no one's going to want to play with you People will actively avoid you Okay? So the alternative Is you can go try and find like The rogue groups The Leave it alone you cunt Someone's touching his 3D print apparently So there will be like Small private leagues or Private facilities or whatever so you can play at those Again, no one's going to want to play with you If you suck, which leaves Nothing, you can like Hit to yourself in your backyard Which is sort of horrible So unless you're any good It's not like bowling where you can just go practice By yourself It's going to be hard to become part of that That social experience Of playing with people and learning And all that kind of stuff so I think that PE class builds Skills that make it even possible To go and engage Can you imagine if you show up at You know The local basketball court Just at the park or whatever And you totally suck, no one's going to want you to play You'd be always last to be picked And in some cases never picked at all So you'd just lean up on the wall Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the That was awesome I'm happy I came back for that So that to me Is the justification for PE Because you are legitimately Learning how to engage in these Activities and PE Will cover things like how to throw a ball Because it's one thing if you show up For like a beer league baseball team And you can throw a ball and like Swing a bat but you're kind of not very good Versus if you show up and you like Throw something like this People are just going to be like oh my god I don't want to play with you So there you go And I don't think That eSports has that issue I think it's easy to practice on your own At home, outside of school hours And it's also You know let's be honest with ourselves It's very much Pure enjoyment For the vast majority of people who are Doing it. The only people Who are really working at it Are the competitive people So what's the benefit For the people who aren't competitive Is this a system that is going to be Put in place and simply abused I don't know. I can also see Like if it was a purely theory based And no one agrees with me. 5% Said yes, just theory. Like if it was a Purely theory based thing like you're looking At you know how leagues work You're looking at the history of gaming, you're looking at Like if we were going to tackle eSports More from like a purely Educational perspective then great but I don't, here's another thing 3 hours a week is nothing For gaming. Like if you're like yeah I'm going to get Great at Starcraft 2, I'm going to practice For 3 hours. Like what you've done Your tutorial campaign in the first week Of classes Like that's really silly Like gaming is not Designed for Learning it in 3 hours a week It's designed to have people Sit down and do it Repetitively until they master it. Which is Again one of the criticisms of PE, of gym class. Is that you're never going to Get great at football by doing your 1 week football unit When I was playing football it was 3 4 practices a week And a game So like Yeah, like we were pretty good but 4 practices a week at like I think an hour and a half Each and a game That's a lot So I personally Don't think people should be playing video games In class I don't think it makes a ton of sense objectively So there you go What else do we got here This is an original article Here is Kotaku and this is By Rememmetaz Posted on the forum Nintendo fired an employee for speaking out on a podcast A lot of debate about this But the reality of it is Whether it was heartless Or not It's extraordinarily likely Especially given the secretive culture at Nintendo That this was in his employee agreement That he was not to talk publicly about Company projects And he gave a lot of opinions, not all of them Positive about you know policies And yeah basically Last week he went on the podcast, said some things he shouldn't have This week Nintendo fired him I hope that we never get corporate enough around here To have Something like that happen I've seen a lot of people saying well he should have been given a warning first Or whatever else But you know what This was the warning But the warning was for everyone else And If you are going And you see the thing to understand too about Nintendo Is that they have a culture That's very secretive Nothing leaks from Nintendo Why? Because when it happens They make an example out of them And if people get a warning If one person gets one warning Everyone is going to feel like they have a freebie too So I get it Super Sucky and his Facebook comment is absolutely Heartbreaking I look around my house, I see images of my son And I feel intense shame and crippling sadness I know that if I can't find a job At least as good as this one I won't be able to provide for my family I've lost them their health coverage and their security I also know that I've probably lost a good deal of my friends Just because I know how hard it can be To stay in touch with someone When the convenience of proximity is lost I'm so sorry to everyone, I failed you, you believed in me And supported me and trusted me And I failed you, I failed me And that's Some powerful stuff right there And super Sucky but Let this be Let it not be for nothing Let this be a warning to you Read your employee agreement Carefully Don't talk about Private stuff To anyone who's not internal and authorized Because that is Some sucky stuff right there One more topic They're all screwing with the printer So I'm a little pissed off, but we can do one more topic This is so annoying Because if they screw anything up Now I'm just going to have to spend hours fixing it But they think it's funny so that's okay Steam Boy or Smash Zero Is a portable handheld steam machine So it's going to be powered by 4 gigs of RAM, 32 gigs of internal storage A 720p touch screen And an HDMI output It will carry an AMD embedded G series SoC with a Jaguar Based CPU and GCN based Radeon graphics Basically I think this thing is probably A boatload of fail at $300 But There's naturally going to be Tons of games in your library that won't be Compatible with Smash Zero on Steam Duh According to the promotional video play 1000 plus games There's so many of those going to be trash So many of those are going to be trash It's not about the volume of games At all So on that note Thank you guys for watching We will see you again next week Same Bat time, same bat channel Yay It's funny they always ask if we're going to be on time this week But at the end of every show I say same bat time So no? Oh it didn't work I told you it wouldn't work There it worked Yay
