 And we're live ladies and gentlemen who are we kidding? We're live gentlemen um and lady. I don't know your mom might be watching Probably watching yeah, oh, we've got a great show for you guys today actually We've got a great show for you guys today Jake did the WAN show document so other than that It's a great show we're gonna go super tangent off the dock Yeah, we're just not even gonna use the dock because I'm all about Demoralizing the people who work here Yeah, that's what it's all about and you know as much fun as it is to demoralize James It had kind of lost its its shine. Yeah, but they need a new person Yeah, every once in a while we want someone new to work on the WAN show dock Yeah, so that we can crush their soul so today. It's Jake God actually oh oh oh this is cool So topics today We're gonna probably kick it off with impressions of the Samsung Galaxy s9 See that's actually an s8, but you'd never know the difference. Yeah, I was like Other than the D Brown skin um and like the very minor camera differences on the back Flippy the burger flipping robot Started working at Calaburger in California We'll go through what a burger flipping robot means and how effective it was but a source for that article was master disaster So I'm assuming that Jake wrote it himself Also, there's new egg customers in Connecticut receiving tax bills because new egg didn't charge them sales tax. Sorry Jake And Modders were able to put coffee like CPUs into Skylake and Kaby Lake motherboards To a well certain degree of success which is actually kind of crazy so why don't we roll the intro and we'll get on with the show where Theoretically we'll talk about all those things that we just talked about that. We're gonna talk about but actually we're probably gonna end up Talking about something else we sometimes do it We got that squished we got that fresh food we got that savage jerky Hooray Alright, so we're gonna kick things off with the most important news this week Linus cat tips the YouTube channel That has videos of my cat including this fantastic one right here that I uploaded yesterday It's got my cat. I was trying to well you can probably figure out based on the tile tile back wall there What I was trying to do so I was trying to do that and You know the cat decided that he had already done that needed somewhere to wipe his butt decided on my hair So this is the hundred thousand hundred thousand subscriber update for Linus cat tip. It's got 120,000 views best performing video on this channel of all time and the big news here though is Is that Linus cat tips the most important channel at Linus media group has crossed a hundred thousand subscribers? I'm surprised you have a B- meaning meaning that well It's probably just because of the last couple of days where it went from 85,000 subscriber well, okay, we should go we should probably go all the way back to here So this is when the NCIX bankruptcy auction vlog hit flow plane. Okay. Yeah, so we got you know a 1500 or so subscribers like normally it actually does grow like let's look at the full monthly statistics here Social Play is a great site for creeping on YouTube channels by the way you guys it's awesome You can like see how many subs they get how many views they get this is BS. Don't trust it believe me Like I mean any number that's like well somewhere between 77 cents and $12 Imagine you were able to pay for things like that. Yeah Imagine you walked into McDonald's. It's like yeah, super value menu it costs anywhere between you know 69 cents and 18 bucks Don't know until you're checking out You know what hold on a second Micro transaction restaurants loop box loop box the restaurant Oh, it's actually brilliant. So you don't know so you take away all the like Oh, I don't know what to pick off the menu because you don't well No, cuz it's wait. Yeah, so you get what you pick like one of three different tiers of loot box And so you might end up yeah, so you get the five dollar loot box The words like like single serving double serving or like three course meal loot box Wow And so I'd probably go so some people are gonna cuz like gaming themed Establishments are totally a thing. Yeah for the most part bars, I guess Yeah, there's a lot of gaming bars Okay but the gaming the loot box restaurant where you go in and like Sometimes you're gonna get like a sort of like adequate meal and then other times you're gonna get like the frickin You know diamond armor, whatever crap is popular horse armor. Sure. Yeah. Yeah addition Yeah, yeah, and it comes we're gonna get horse armor anymore and it Good reference. So good reference though. Shut up. I like you great But yeah, and then sometimes it'll you'll spend like a considerable amount on meal it'll literally just be like a day-old McDonald's Okay, no, I don't know about that. You gotta add some junk. No, you'd either get Okay, you could get like an adequate meal or you could get like like something really nice And it like comes with actual like gamer loot like it could come with like an amiibo. Oh, oh Right or like t-shirts because remember the thing about loot boxes is that you're you already know you're kind of paying too much So no, the base meal is already decent But then you might get loot and so effectively the people who just get a meal are subsidizing the people who get like something A little bit more overall, but there's a chance you're gonna get some cool just like a loot box. Yeah, I like that That's probably way more reasonable than Dale McDonald's. There's a there's a way more There's a restaurant downtown Vancouver There's two of them same name one of them is more just a like very small hole-in-the-wall place than the other ones like a big Establishment, but they're both called storm crow. I think one of them is tavern and one of them is something else Anyways, okay, we're getting kind of crapped on it's called a kid's meal the loot is a toy. Whatever man No, no, no, this is for adults and they're like proper Yeah, and you might get you don't get t-shirts and kids meals. He's just talking about yeah, me bows and teachers This is like nicely branded stuff. Not like some super totally different. Yeah But yeah storm crow I believe you can roll a d20 Okay, depending on what the d20 results in you get a different. I think it's a shot Okay, I'm not sure and then if you get a 20. I don't remember something cool happens People are complaining the cameras tilted and like to my eye it is noticeably tilted. Okay. Is it just tilting over time? Okay, is it just tilting over time because didn't we check it before the stream I don't know And like part of it's like is this shelf on an angle? Yeah Yeah So people probably are just attributing that I think we're just gonna That's noticeably better. We're gonna roll it. Okay, you know, there's a little too much headroom Jake Can you adjust the headroom down a little bit? Maximum headroom. You got this. You got this. All right What the heck were we talking about? It seemed important The boxes. Oh, no, it was really important Linus cat tips. Okay, right. So What happened? Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah, what happened here was Next it hit YouTube and this nothing channel went from 85,000 to 160,000 subscribers in three days See doubled which is actually more like two days because it was like the evening of the seventh and it is now not yet Even the evening of the ninth And the reason did you watch the NCIX bankruptcy vlogs? Yeah. So you saw the part where ultimately Okay, I've got some people saying That it was the wrong move To give the guy well not give it to him. I mean he bid for it Like he won it in the auction but to sort of let it go Do you think it was the wrong move? I think what you maybe should have done cuz you knew this what maybe not to the scale Maybe you thought more scale. I don't know but you knew you would pass 100k Yeah, but I also knew that Linus cat tips was gonna end up with a hundred thousand subscribers eventually anyway Yeah, all I would have to do is do one shout out for it. I could have done it at any moment over the last three years Yeah, just like that. This is accelerating it. Yeah, you could have got it from him with the idea that like hey I'll get you the cat tips for it. Oh, that's interesting Or you could have used your contacts instead of using his contacts to try to be like hey Let's get him the freaking button. You know, I didn't think of that at all. I should have totally done that I should have totally been like look I want the NCIX tech tips one, but tell you why you don't ultimately care. No, I should have just created like a troll like Extra one. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah, you should have named it almost identical to his channel with like a period or something Yeah, so that you like can't really tell yeah, it's been like alright guys Let's get this dude cuz you got you got eighty something. Yeah You could have made it. I didn't think of that at all. Why do I even ask you these things? So now you need to make NCIX dot Or like use a weird character for the eye or something and do it again And then we need to get it again. I gotta tell you the Okay, so first of all all the people saying that like he didn't deserve it because he's a top ten channel or something Or he probably bought his subscribers. What are you talking about? Like the guy uploaded a lot of videos I never even I didn't yeah, no people are like they're like mad that like a crappy top ten channel Got the play button and I'm kind of sitting here going you guys I mean, I don't think we left the entire cut of all of my interaction with him in the video But what happened was he won it fair and square Yeah, and I asked for it and he was like no and then I explained that I was the one who started that channel And he was like, oh no problem then take it. He seemed cool He was totally cool about it in a little bit that I saw he seemed cool And so I had a couple minutes between being on the auction floor and then going to the front where we were going to pick it up to kind of think about it I went like he was really cool about this What happened with him was he was with a crappy MCN back when he crossed his 100,000 threshold So he's got his gold button already But he was with a crappy MCN that for whatever reason he got lost in the shuffle and he wasn't able to claim his silver play button So he just wanted one so that he could rebrand it not because he didn't earn it But because he never got his that he did earn and I was like, you know what at the end of the day I've got in my fantastic studio with my amazing staff three silver play buttons on the wall And this gold and not to mention the two gold play buttons And he was so cool about it. Like if he wasn't really cool about it and he was like, you know, yeah, man, I you know I think I should have it but he wasn't like that at all if he wasn't cool about it I would have I would have wanted to fight harder for it But he was just such a nice guy that I thought it was hard to I thought it was the right thing to do I understood your stance at the time. But yeah, I would have tried to pull something like making a Getting him to make like a really similar channel name or that would have been a better move That would have been the pro move, but I still have no regrets. I still feel good about how it went down And if nothing else, I mean we should now make like try to make a channel that's like NCIX but like change something very minor. It's hard. Was it NCX or NCX com? NCIX com and a big NCIX a small com. Yeah. Yeah, cuz I remember I actually it's funny I remember having an argument internally about what we were gonna call it because NCIX wasn't available for some reason Okay, and I got questioned like quite a few times about why it wasn't NCIX.com Oh, and I was like because you can't have a period in the URL and they were like Are you sure? I'm like, yeah Yeah, you can't People are like you should create a float plane NCIX plaque So honestly, the one that I really want is the gold one, but I'm gonna tell you something The gold one is missing Did someone take it from the office? Kind of looks that way. Wasn't me. Like you're giving me that look. No, I actually had nothing to do with it So I'm just rapidly speculating privately who it might have been So the rumor that I heard was that it was in the CEO's office the last it was seen and now it's not So I would and no Riley doesn't have it. I asked Riley. He's a straight-up dude. He would have told me So he was the last one left working on the NCIX Tech Tips channel and he says he doesn't have it And the last time he saw it it was in the CEO's office So, oh, you know what in other crazy important news that Jake did not put in the document Wow, you did a great job There's been a lot of speculation that we will be acquiring the NCIX Tech Tips channel And I can put that to rest once and for all we are not acquiring the NCIX Tech Tips channel All right, P&P's Yep, not for lack of effort, but it will not be possible And so yeah, honestly, I'm pretty disappointed I had a pretty rotten day that day I had a bunch of things go wrong and I had the call that sort of was the nail in the coffin That I will not be getting it It is my belief that whoever is taking control of it is going to basically burn it to the ground And piss on the ashes according to the plan that they have described to me Which is really disappointing because I put a lot of work into that I mean that's where I cut my teeth as a YouTuber, that's where you cut your teeth as a YouTuber It's kind of sad that we're not getting it I was pretty excited when we were talking about it So I had felt very strongly that we should be allowed to buy it But it's a little more complicated than that legally and it's just not going to be possible So I mean, you know, I might as well be upfront with you guys The only way we were going to get it was if we bought NCIX Which might seem like a great idea on paper But it's... No I was trying to be diplomatic Sorry So it would include the domain, the sophisticated inventory management and backend software Oh yes, yes definitely Sophisticated, the very not cobbled together backend management system The trademarks, the copyrights, the intellectual property including their fantastic mobile app Basically the untarnished brand Oh absolutely, nobody's wondering where their shipments are Fantastic relationships that that brand will inspire with potential suppliers Owing people money and then never giving it to them is a really great way to establish trust Now, I mean to be... No, you wouldn't acquire the debt, so this is interesting So the way that it works with the bankruptcy proceedings is that these assets are being liquidated by the bankruptcy trustee So the funds are not actually going to the original owner The funds are going to the creditors Meaning that even if, let's say NCIX owed you, oh I don't know, six million dollars, hypothetical number No, no, not me, someone else But it's not hypothetical, it's real Let's say NCIX owed you six million dollars And let's say at the auction that we attended And through the sale of the domain and the intellectual property and all that That they managed to raise, I don't know, let's use a realistic number, two million dollars Your six million, which is only one fifth of the total debt This is all leaked out there Of your six million you would get one fifteenth of that, whatever that works out to, like 300k Oh, I thought they had to go banks first So, right, assuming it all went out equally Yeah So some people are going to have more robust contracts Yeah That will entitle them to being paid first And a lot of the time, as far as I know, and I could be totally wrong here But I think that usually results in banks first So the new owners, fair and square, own the domain, the server infrastructure Whatever it is that they've paid the trustee for And there's no debt associated with it But life is rarely that simple If I was, oh I don't know, let's say Corsair, who is owned a million dollars Did I say owned or owed? I think it's owned It's kind of the same thing No, dang! Rough, rough It's Corsair who's owed a million bucks Do I engage with this brand again? Would you? Even if it was under new management? I'd be salty And like the thing is, if I was a hardware company I would look at this going like, okay, last time you guys didn't make it You're going into the exact same market with the exact same inventory stuff With the exact same buildings With the exact same website With less storefronts With probably dramatically harmed SEO Dramatically harmed SEO because everything's going to be about you being bankrupt Site traffic A huge amount of customers that never receive shipments of possibly our products And then got upset with us potentially because of that I wouldn't really want to touch that I'd be like, this corpse is in the ground Why am I trying to perform CPR? And especially if you're a GPU company If your company's shipping GPUs, you can sell them immediately to anyone Why would you? And here's the thing, NCIX has been effectively out of business for so long That it doesn't take a long time for a gap to be filled Canada computers came in and opened up stores in NCIX's old locations Memory Express, I don't know if you know this, but I don't know if anyone knows this Hold on One second Okay, good So yeah, this is a thing that is definitely very public That's Memory Express's website It's everywhere So it's literally everywhere But MemEx is going to be opening up a new store I know that I have gone to their Langley location like three or four times since NCIX closed in Langley And how hurt are you that you have to go somewhere slightly different? It's ever so slightly more difficult to get to But it's also sort of on the way to work So the parking's a little annoying So yeah, so that's the thing is they've been out of the game for three months What incentive is there for anyone to go back? Because you don't... Okay, MemEx's website looks like 1998 Did you ever go to NCIX's? Canada computers isn't much better Yeah Yeah, I mean at least... Okay, I'm gonna have to double check this But at least to my knowledge, Memory Express doesn't hide the per location inventory the way that NCIX started doing over the last few years Like was that or was that not an incredibly frustrating experience? Where it wouldn't actually show you what was in stock Yeah, no, it's right here Like it's just like, okay, here's how many in this region are in each store Online stores, different individuals stores And actually, I don't know how 1998 this is No, this is not 1998 It's like 2008 Okay, hold on a second Way back machine, NCIX Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on Let's just... Let's have a look Let's actually go... Okay, we can't go to 1998 Let's go to 1999, okay? Let's go to 1999, my friends Here we go, May the 8th, 1999 One snapshot Hold on Oh, no, this was like... Wow, it archived a broken page That's interesting That's okay, 2000 looks more promising, here we go Okay, that looks more promising What? What you doing? What you doing, way back machine? Way back machine is the only way to access NCIX now Can you believe that? Isn't that crazy? Well, if it does Well, like if it does, yeah Okay, three snapshots, come on, man You know, you can tell this show doesn't have a producer Because stuff like this wouldn't have... There we go Okay, so that... Wait, what? No, that's not... This is modern Yeah This is 2018 These are like brand new... This is 2018, February Okay, well, whatever Okay, well, still, I mean, we can still look at what NCIX has looked like at the end Jump on there, click somewhere on there On here? Yeah Let's just go like here Man, way back is slow Okay, so this is 2004 This would have been like... Wow, this would have been like the prime time of me shopping there As an actual customer Remember Celestica? Yeah, actually Remember Soltech? I definitely remember Soltech Remember AMD? Oh, wait, they made it They made it, they're back, baby Barely What else we got? OCZ, remember OCZ memory? I think I owned one of these Dang But no, okay, maybe not that one Sync Master 710B $500 $500 With that VGA video VGA suckas Okay, I think I owned one of those, but like years ago All right, anyway, I forget what we were even talking about Right, I wouldn't buy NCIX Unless the price was basically what I would have paid for the YouTube channel The plaque Now, tell me this I have had more than one person pitch me internally That if we were to buy the NCIX brand So first one thing, do you think suppliers would take the NCIX brand seriously If it was me running it? Actually, yeah And if we were to buy it Should we become a system integrator? Ooh I wonder what Twitch chat thinks of this I think you'd have to do it really well Well, the idea would be that I wouldn't want to go crazy My perfect system builder would probably be closer to Puget Than to like, main gear I expected that By really well, I didn't mean like hard light water cooling I meant like very low amounts of issues Yes Like robustness would have to be way up there Which Puget, yeah, they've got that They test after they're testing, which is pretty crazy But like, just because of the public facingness of this attachment company You'd have to, yeah, you'd have to be quite careful Yeah, it would be one of those things where Every customer service issue has the potential to go viral And my biggest issue actually Is just that there's the potential for people to perceive Our hardware choices in the NCIX PC division As being influenced or influencing the media side of it So I think there's a reason that nobody's ever really crossed those lines Except me Yeah I was already doing this And it's hilarious because you see so many people Harkening for the good old days when Linus wasn't biased Because he worked at a computer store that was trying to sell you stuff And I'm kind of sitting here going, oh man Like, it's not biased, but you could certainly find an ulterior motive in there If you dug deep enough LCIX? LCIX, no Linus Computer Ink Ink Extreme X X, because X Factor Yeah, so I don't know, man I'm hoping to hear back today about just sort of like the update But my name's out of the hat I'm not going to be able to get my hands on the channel I had really hoped to The chat is chanting LCIX LCIX, yes Lordy Yes, bring that It does look like licks Our computers don't just suck They lick They will Hard That might go okay Go back to like mid-90s advertising Like just our branding just being completely ridiculous I mean, okay, as far as I can tell The only way system integrators make any money is through MDF programs with brands like Intel and Nvidia Nvidia probably I don't think Intel would give us any money to talk about how our computers lick Hard That might be a little bit of a problem Intel's a little on the conservative side when it comes to brand messaging Yeah To be clear, before people freak out, we're not talking anything about politics at all We're just talking about Speaking of how we actually intend to continue running our business and making money Yeah Squarespace Oh, I thought you were going to do the burger flipping robot No, we'll get into that We actually haven't done any of the topics on the dock We were just messing with you, Jake, but it ended up happening So Squarespace is the place to go to build your own beautiful functional website With Squarespace, your project might not take 17 months before you launch an alpha Wow With Squarespace, you just pick one of their gorgeous templates Wow They've got 24-7 tech support It starts at just $12 a month The sites are super stable and all of the templates feature I'm not sure if he's running away to hide or going in to get a heavy object Oh, so they look great on any device With Squarespace's cover pages feature, you can set up a beautiful one-page online presence in minutes And everyone can now publish content in the Apple News format directly from their Squarespace blog module Making it available to millions of potential viewers Start a trial with no credit card required at squarespace.com slash when You can't hit me on a live stream because everyone will see you do it So I might end up streaming forever Because that's how I'm going to stay alive And you know how else I'll stay alive?

You can update please No I know you can, I just haven't done it Super ultra wide monitor, dank or dumb? I think we all know the answer Actually I think everyone, the funny thing about that is it's very polarizing I think everybody knows their own answer And it's not the same answer as other people It's just drastic I've had people talk to me about how that is the most amazing thing of all time Me too And they can't believe nobody ever thought of that, like it's crazy So sorry, what was your news?

We were for a long time Okay, yes, but that... That was never the plan though Yeah, and that initial call video we already had one person So we were going up from there, but yeah We're doing pretty well right now, we're pushing forward Right now though we're in a situation where we're doing a lot of reacting So I want to increase the team size a little bit so we can push forward Because we're reacting to some bugs, we're fixing some things, we're doing some user suggestions and stuff But I want to keep pushing forward at the mainline stuff We've got a really good roadmap We just need to make sure we don't fall into that trap where we've got a great roadmap that we never end up working on And we do keep feature creeping, basically everything feature creeps And our stuff is feature creeping as well, but yeah Cool Oh yeah, being from Canada or being from the states with a related degree is quite important Because I want to move you here Yeah, so remote work? No Remote work for three months? Yes While you're on probation? Cool Once you're off probation? No, come here Get on a plane Yeah Alright, why don't we talk about some actual news that's in the actual doc This was posted by Master Disaster on the forum And the original article here is from TechCrunch Flippy the robot hamburger chef goes to work So this is one year after announcing a partnership with Calaburger And Miso Robotics' resident chef graduated to, graduated hamburger university And started flipping burgers in an actual restaurant So this is an AI enabled burger flipping robot arm thing It uses thermal imaging and image recognition to tell which burgers need flipping It can handle 12 burgers at a time And it's not 100% independent, the worker has to bring in patties and take the cooked ones away Apply cheese, assemble sandwiches, actually it doesn't sound that useful at all at that point I think it's not that great But the idea was that for your $60,000 per Flippy each And your 20% annual recurring maintenance fee, so 12 grand a year You would get more functionality down the road Like the ability to chop, deep fry, grill, or add seasoning and cheese to patties What drives me nuts is how can it not refill the patties selection? Like what? Like even if workers had to bring stacks of patties separated by paper, whatever, whatever, I don't know And just like put it into a thing You'd think they'd have a burger hopper So it was designed to make up for the cost With decreased wait times, better consistency, decreased food waste, and then obviously, eventually a reduction in staff But wait, there's more! The original article from BBC.com Burger flipping robot taken offline after one day on the job Yes, the burger flipping robot lasted exactly as long as that stoner guy that I hired when I was running my painting business Oh, I thought you meant Alright, uh One day No, this guy was hilarious So was the other one that I'm talking about, but yes This one was more hilarious, okay, get this Okay So one of the most time consuming aspects of painting is ladder movements Okay Getting up and down the ladder, moving the ladder Shuffling it over Getting your bucket and your paint back together and getting up, okay That's one of the things that takes the most amount of time So when I see someone Instead of putting, so instead of putting the ladder close to the wall And using your whole wingspan, both hands When I see someone putting a ladder four feet away from the wall Leaning in like this Painting with one hand Like pushing themselves back out onto the ladder Like, I was just So this is one of those like, I don't know the proper name for it, but like You're not leaning the ladder against the house No, it's just a step stool He was just leaning himself against the house for like no apparent reason My crew chief wanted to kind of try and make it work, she was really, she's a good person I'm horribly bad at painting and that sounds really dumb But, I was actually, and like we were desperate, like This was back in, I don't know, 2006 Yeah, probably around 2006, yeah it was probably 2006 When like the economy was really good, the 2008 crash hadn't really happened yet Like it was, this was a time, this was a period of time Where getting, walking into a subway You might only hope to have your burger made correctly because People were like desperate, they were hiring just like anyone No matter how qualified they were for anything And it was really hard to find people, but I was just like, no we can't do this So, so right, Flippy Flippy was supposed to be able to cook 2,000 burgers a day But after one day, Flippy was taken offline to be upgraded to work faster Left with a little sign saying he'd be cooking soon The employees that worked with him are also being trained to help Flippy work faster It's likely that this is due to the increased volume at the store Due to the news of Flippy being deployed, so it's not like this is all bad news That's not that much, 2,000 a day sounds like a lot, but when you break it down It's really actually not that much, it's not that crazy And you see in the video, like his flipping thing is very Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, like it's slow The weird thing about it is like, you know what about, what's that robot called? The four legged one that you can like kick and it doesn't fall over? Yeah, I don't know, but it's Boston Dynamics Yeah, like that thing's been around for 6 years? Like this does not seem very sophisticated or good Why does it cost $60,000? I'm not, I'm sure, they're not mass making them, that's why This one's nuts Oh, is this a new? Oh wow, Boston Dynamics has a new robot That's like kind of news, right? It's been news for a while, we're kind of late It can open a door and you can like screw with it while it tries to open the door And it'll correct and it'll brace and it does all this other things, why is it lagging? So it'll like bring that arm thingy out, I don't know where the arm actually comes from Oh, there's the one with the arm, right, this one has to let the other one through the door These guys are trippy Like this is scary stuff, this is like straight out of Portal And then he like braces the door on his leg, gets the arm around the door And then pulls it open, lets the other one through And then I think what we're going to see after this is when they try to interfere Because Boston Dynamics is all about that Okay, is this one testing robustness? No, that's fine, I mean that's like Anyway, the point I was trying to make is like I don't really understand why Flippy There's crazy robots out there This feels like a really advanced project that someone on YouTube made I don't know I'm sure it's more complicated than that I'm sure the thermal sensing stuff is actually quite complicated Right I think the robot vision that they've programmed into this is probably pretty cool And there's probably some pretty owner-esque sort of safety, health and safety certifications That they've probably had to go through, that sounds expensive Yeah Alright Yeah Well, at any rate, why don't we move on to the next topic? So, oh, you're right, so humans, your jobs are not safe, except for now they are Because Flippy is not that great But someone will make a good Flippy This is pretty crazy So this was posted by Master Disaster on the forum But the original article, is this from our forum? Looks like one of the users of our forum blanked out their personal information and said Basically, Dear Taxpayer, New Ag has provided the Department of Revenue Services records of your online purchases They put a dash in online because apparently they still live in 2002 Super old During taxable years 2014, 2015 and 2016, according to these records You made purchases in at least one of these years but were not charged Connecticut sales tax Therefore you owe tax on the items Tax, interest, penalty Total amount due, $103.10 Now, this is based on only spending about $1000 So anyone who was a heavy buyer or like maybe Was the coordination point for group buys for their friends for example Or like regularly bought systems and built them for other people If they didn't go and pour through the Connecticut tax code To determine that New Ag should have been paying them tax Or should have been submitting, charging them tax and then submitting it to the state of Connecticut They could be on the hook for thousands and thousands of dollars American online tax law is basically As far as I know, actually the worst out of anyone It's pretty broken and like the average person I don't think the average person should be blamed for not being aware of this stuff Like on the one hand, yes Officially, according to tax laws here in Canada too You should pay tax even if you weren't charged tax on the transaction For example, if I were to buy something on Craigslist Or if I were to sell something on Craigslist I'm supposed to pay income tax on the money that I made And if I was to sell something on Craigslist I am supposed to, I think, over a certain amount So if I was doing it regularly, I am supposed to collect provincial and general sales tax And submit it to the appropriate governing bodies on behalf of the buyer But like going all the way back to 2014 to 2016 And then just sending letters to everyone? Wow! No subpoena or warrant was involved The DRS just sent New Egg a letter, they complied Which, I mean, yeah Would they have a legal justification to not? Yeah, I mean, I guess that's people's personal information, right? Like, that's pretty BS Yeah Man! Well, how would they be able to mail them? How would they be able to mail them with their personal information? Yeah, so name, address, name Yeah, so apparently the DRS submitted the names and addresses and asked New Egg for the amounts So, okay, I can see New Egg supplying that But I don't know, man Like, this is one of those things where This is not the consumer's fault NH Massacre said, I'm screwed, I spent over 13k on New Egg Are you from Connecticut? I think this only applies to people in Connecticut This only applies to Connecticut for now But this is a can of worms Yeah Because even here in Canada, the way that the taxation has worked for online purchases Has been a little bit complicated at times And as far as I know, nothing was ever done retroactively And as far as I know, when the laws changed Back in 2008, 2009, somewhere around there When they introduced harmonized sales tax The onus was on the retailer to deal with it And we were the ones who were in trouble And that seems a lot more fair to me Than putting it on individual Joe Average in Connecticut No, I completely agree I... Crap, what was I going to say? Right, so a lot of tax law was made before It was reasonable to buy something in one area when you are in another area And then when that started becoming more popular It was mostly like calling in to order stuff And that was such low volume that nobody cared And even once you started buying things on the internet Most people were pretty skeptical about buying things on the internet And there wasn't a lot of that going on And then Amazon blows up And all these other sites blow up And now a lot of people are doing a pretty hefty portion Possibly most of their shopping on the internet Now it's a big deal Because, I mean, remember it's not like we're in a situation Where the individual states are just like flush with cash So if they can find a way to get anywhere between a couple of percent And a couple more than that percent Of every transaction that takes place online For items coming into their state I mean, if you think about it Those items don't get to the door Without a truck driving on a road That theoretically the state maintains Like... Someone said, Luke, used tax covers out of state purchases I'm assuming they mean US tax Not really This is... Use tax? No, he said USE Oh, yeah, exactly Use tax Like that's... Oh, okay, either way, it doesn't Not in all cases And there's really weird situations where like If you're talking about digital stuff If the company you're buying something from has a server in your state That's Nexus So they have a location there Which changes how it all works It's very complicated And it varies depending on whether it's a digital goods or service Or a physical item Yeah, and like it varies per state Per county In some places US tax is extremely complicated Alright, speaking of things that are extremely complicated My feelings about this latest bit of news The original article here We're still talking about use tax It doesn't matter, there's other things that apply Sorry that I got that part wrong MacAfee acquires VPN company Which I actually didn't realize was Canadian Was TunnelBear In terms of the deal Have not been disclosed MacAfee says It plans to integrate TunnelBear's technologies Into their own VPN products That I've never heard of until now SafeConnect Apparently TunnelBear will also continue To work on its own products Under its own brand According to the report TunnelBear is a profitable company So presumably MacAfee paid a pretty penny for it Just a little bit of history MacAfee was acquired by Intel in 2011 It's McAfee McAfee? Whatever Intel rebranded it to Intel Security And then it was later split into a new company With the old McAfee, McAfee Whatever, name In partnership with private equity firm TPG So this is their second acquisition Since becoming a separate company again And So Here's where we're at on this As you guys probably know TunnelBear Is a A pretty Has been a long time Supporter of the show Yeah So we've reached out to them for comment I don't think we've heard back yet I'm actually not sure If we've heard back yet But we would We would love to We would love to hear from Our community What they think of this news So one key change Is now that TunnelBear is owned By an American interest They will have to comply with some American Laws as far as I know So that's one difference That there might be to the service And their Way of operating I'm going to chime in slightly here Canada has a lot of Crazy privacy laws too The US privacy laws are more well documented But if you want to have some fun Google spy palace It'll bring up some Canadian stuff Interesting articles Interesting articles So Yeah And Five Eyes So that was some interesting news So that was some interesting news In other interesting news This was posted by Senari on the forum The original article is from overclock.net Modders Have apparently gotten coffee lake Working on 100 and 200 Series chipsets So far the core i3-8100 Has been tested working completely On a 100 series board Well apparently Multiple 100 series boards And what else do we have here So Littleheel contributed In adding the coffee lake CPU microcode And suggestions of using correct ME version to boot the CPU Root user 123 fixed IGPU by extracting coffee lake IGPU VBIOS on the latest GOP driver From sonics and updating the VBIOS and GOP driver Wow Contributed to Desenki contributed in booting 6 core CPU on MSI Z270 motherboard and giving lots of assistance In solving problems LSW contributed in testing and writing guides Mavex solved the issue with the E16X not working and CPU voltage Reout fixes when using coffee lake CPUs Very Very Interesting Nice eBay GPU ads you got going on there Because of higher power limits This is a quote here I would not suggest this mod with I5 and I7 K series CPUs So This comes back to I'm not talking to you Siri Go away So this comes back to The speculation that took place When Intel said They would not be supporting coffee lake On 100 and 200 series But I'm gonna go through Jake's notes here first as a courtesy Oh actually that was the first thing in his notes Good job Jake So here is what they said It might have worked for the most part But it didn't work well enough Or reliably enough For Intel to allow This compatibility to make it to the market So they software and bioslocked off the compatibility Most of this was due to coffee lakes different power setup Most of this was due to coffee lakes different power setup It was not necessarily It was not necessarily That the board didn't have enough power delivery But the boards power delivery Is distributed over more pins To better support coffee lakes 6 core chips like the 8700K So WCCF tech reported that Ground pins went from 377 To 391 And power pins went from 128 To 146 Something a lot of people don't know is that On particularly a brand new CPU Like I found a really good I forget why I was looking at this But I7-920 pin Map Cool This blog Re-engine blog I forget why I was looking at this But this is a map Posted on Re-engine.org Where this guy Or gal mapped out What all of the different pins Are and then color coded them So you can see here all this green stuff Is memory controller All this Blue stuff is QPI Data all the gray stuff So like 70 80 percent of what's in here A bunch of this in here here Probably a good 50 percent of what's in here All that gray stuff is reserved Pins and those reserved Pins might be for different Skews that have more hardware in them For example this is a Bloomfield And so it was architecturally very similar To the contemporary Xeons so those Xeons would have had an additional QPI link That would have taken up probably Let's go back here probably all the Gray ones here That would have been the other QPI link for the other CPU that would have been needed But there's still all this other stuff and a lot of the time Those reserved pins are Just in case Intel decides to do Like a new CPU With oh I don't know maybe More cores for example They can use those for something So this is just an example Of them utilizing Reserved pins in order to add More power So going back to our notes here The modders say That the pin out doesn't matter because They're just left disconnected because those Pins are reserved on Kaby Lake except For two which you can just cover with tape So the extra pins offer About 8 percent greater impedance So theoretically lower power chips Like the i3-8100 are fine But you may Have issues with overclockable higher Core count or higher TDB chips There's a screenshot here of an 8700K Working So you can check this out on a presumably MSI board but No actual evidence of it Running correctly or stably So There you go It's exactly What I don't know if Intel ever Publicly said that was it but that's what We understood It's exactly what we knew it was It's not that it Can't work It said it can't work well enough So unless you try super Super hard and use an i3-8100 It's probably not worth the work So that's where we're at on that Yeah What else we got here Alright you want to talk about the Fortnite thing There's not a lot to say here but I think it's kind of Interesting, PUBG has been rocking for a long Time and a lot of people In the community including myself are pretty Unsatisfied with how they've been kind Of doing a lot of stuff For the uninitiated why Their servers are super garbage Their down times that they choose for maintenance Even when they schedule it ahead of time Is in like prime time For North America which is pretty rough and they Do all the servers there's a huge Amount of hacking and that's Not being dealt with to a satisfactory Level including hacks Like something called ESP Which is like Do you remember the Pokemon Go cheating stuff Where people would get like a website and it would show Where all the Pokemon are? You can get that Except for PUBG So it shows you where everyone on the map is And you can get it running on an external Computer So you don't even need to have it on your computer so there's no way To detect it because you can just VPN The other device they'd have no idea it's going to Your network So even if they did find a way to track it Somehow which I don't think they could Then you can just VPN and there's no way for them to check it anyways Because they would just be on a different computer So basically it has like fundamental flaws There's a lot of issues There's things that piss a lot of people off And it Yeah they took all this money That they got for having a successful game Instead of what a lot of people think Needed to happen is throwing all of that Towards development of the main game They developed like a mobile game And then they did this Huge push to get it onto Xbox And like all this kind of stuff Instead of developing the core Thing They had version 1.0 released Which was as far as I can tell A giant publicity stunt because it was Garbage there was still huge amounts of issues In the game It's been really frustrating You drop in you have to parachute in I know you haven't really played I don't know how much you know about it You have to parachute in And sometimes you have to stand there for a little while And wait for things to actually spawn Like loot, sometimes it's there Who knows, it might not work You try to parachute into the ground It might not let you out of the parachute Then when it does it might just kill you Or do a whole bunch of damage Because it's like oh you fell It's like, wouldn't it fall in if the game worked Thanks, there's huge rubber banding issues For a huge amount of time there's massive performance issues There's still some performance issues but not as much as there was before Really look tell me how you really feel about it Meanwhile And I'm not as into the gameplay because I don't like the building aspects And stuff but Fortnite Right Released their battle royale mode after PUBG Running on the same engine Because they made it And it's a What a lot of people would classify A better overall experience I'm not as into the gameplay because I don't like the building aspects You have to like actively build walls And do all this weird stuff And some of the fights are just ridiculous to watch Because you just watch people like Rapidly build walls and stairs and stuff Like super super super super super super fast And then like one shot okay it's over Because you like somehow got an angle on them While they were rapidly building this thing too I did I'm not super into the gameplay But I'm kind of happy that it's beating out PUBG Because I want them to smarten the heck up Because I would rather play that game It's just really frustrating sometimes Anyways I don't know how much the Twitch chat actually agrees with me We should do a poll Tell me if you like more PUBG or Fortnite I'm on it So I like Playing PUBG more But I get very angry When like I'll rubber band around a wall Or I'll be like clearly behind something And die And it's not the other dude Isn't hacking or anything it's just huge Latency issues The tick rate on the servers is garbage I don't remember what it is now But it was like 11 to 17 before Like it's really bad Why? This is something you know maybe you can explain this to me from a technical standpoint Why run a crappy tick rate? When everyone knows What would be better? Okay so in like October They were saying 17hz tick rate Really? How can you even play a competitive game like that? Yeah Like there's issues with the game And yeah A lot of it's just ignored More people are voting for Fortnite right now It's really close to be fair Wow These votes are coming in really fast Like compared to most polls we run This is crazy But then you think about it We're streaming on Twitch Most of the time we're not doing gaming polls Yeah so it's close Which I'm not surprised by But then Fortnite is edging out PUBG Which shouldn't be surprising Exactly and I prefer the Gameplay style of PUBG and all this kind of stuff There's just so many frustrating things Anyways Which I had time to play games I legitimately do So In other news Game over for drones That's bad A drone crashed In Arizona National Forest Starting a wildfire 200 acres That burned 300 acres Over 300 acres with 30 firefighters Able to contain it within the day That's how much it burned In a day It's unclear what kind of drone it was But it caught fire when it crashed Setting fire to a grassland area called Kendrick Park The pilot was Identified and charged With starting a forest fire Lawmakers are pushing to Criminalize drone flying in Wildfire areas So basically you're not going to be able to Fly a drone near a person, near an animal Near a vehicle Near a wildfire area Which is like What isn't Yeah A spokesperson for the forest Said it is legal to fly a drone in the forest As long as it doesn't take off in a wilderness area And as long as there are no nearby wildfires So I don't know How you're going to turn this into a criminal charge Against the guy Or wait no Yeah you can, yeah okay Is it negligence? I guess so Because I think I feel like you'd have to have Precautions along the route So if nothing else you'd have to have like People out along the route Because I bet you film crews would still be able to get away with it Interesting Because they could have like crew Around just in case the drone Fell You know So, here's another good one Goodbye drones, goodbye porn Um Rhode Island Is proposing A bill Requiring internet service Providers to block sexual content And not Necessarily for the reason you might think Because you would probably go It's probably a think of the children But what they really Want is to get 20 Dollars from you One time, so one time fee 20 dollars from you And you would be able to access Pornography Which will give money to the state To help fund the operation of the Council on Human Trafficking You have to send in a request in writing That you want it Disabled You have to present your ID to verify that you're older than 18 And you have to acknowledge Receiving written And writing regarding the danger associated With deactivating the filter Wow Yeah So that's interesting With current wording it seems like The filters for illegal things like Child porn would also be deactivated If you paid the fee. What? How does that help Okay Nah Completely Regardless of the moral issues of blocking Anything on the internet to any degree Completely ignore all that kind of stuff for now Just look at the stance they're trying to make And the result that they're setting up They don't line up That's completely what I'm confused about right now What? That's so weird Unlocked Unzipped But that's just awkward And it sounds like you have to maybe do it in person Because that has to be in writing You have to acknowledge that you've seen this form Saying that you're a bad person essentially And you have to present your ID It says present ID So my understanding Is that human trafficking And effectively slavery is actually A huge problem in the porn industry I don't do a ton of research on it But like Apparently people can end up Like not so much in North America I don't think But people can end up signing contracts without fully understanding them That basically turn them into Sex slaves That sounds less likely in North America And so I can understand the need to Sort of investigate Where this internet porn is coming from The impact it's having And if there are illegal activities going on That are driving it But I don't think that Like an internet censorship Bill makes a ton of sense As the way to go about that That seems sort of like a broader Yeah Once again another topic That I'm really just not sure what to say about But I think That's a good point I think that's a good point I'm really just not sure what to say about I just don't understand Is this the worst thought out thing ever? Like that's the only Conclusion I'm really coming to Regardless of your stance on it Whether you're for it or against it Their approach is super confusing Okay so we've got people correcting me Saying that bringing people into North America to act as slaves is still pretty common Yeah it's a little bit different though So in North America Typically this is my understanding The way that the human trafficking game Typically works is that you're relying On their very poor language skills And the fact that they don't understand The laws of the country In order to get themselves out of it But that's not really what I was talking about I was talking about situations where Actually through legal contracts You're creating Situations where People are effectively being Sexually assaulted at work every day But they're contractually obligated to continue to do it So yeah Okay So thanks for watching guys This has been an interesting WAN show We will see you again next week Same bad time, same bad channel Bye! I mean yeah I heard I heard that that was One of the White House's top priorities Stopping the sexual harassment
