 All right, let's just do it. Let's just do it to the doors That's the best part of the whole video oh So amazing No Okay, so welcome to the WAN show you guys we have zero viewers it's always like that at the beginning of the show, but Every time I discuss it. I'm like doesn't even show a viewer count at all oh Oh, yeah, no my live one that my Weird oh okay anyway discussing the live viewers is totally irrelevant to all the two hundred thousand or so people who watch the WAN show in the Archive every week so tin to access granada kind of is because we did it in the after party there They have no idea what's going on, but then again. I did include as a highlight in our winner announcement video Just that part of that video, so yeah, okay, and a couple other like really golden moments as well So I yeah, I I actually normally I don't just watch our videos like for fun because I'm in a lot of them And I can't don't really have anything to say that would teach myself anything at that point And then usually my thing is and I'm sure you're probably the same way to at least some degree if you're not in the video You just go talk to the person yeah I usually have her well I've I've heard enough like complaining about all the negative things and I've heard enough like okay come look at this This is really cool about all the positive stuff that it's like I kind of got the highlight. Yeah, I kind of got the highlight reel already. I don't need to watch this So so yeah, but I actually watched our ultra wide winner announcement Just so I could see the highlight reel again because we got some great entries really awesome all right So what do we got for the show today? Ah yes big news Nvidia? dropping prices for for Black Friday Yeah Yeah, okay Yeah, did you lose your thing that's weird that I lose my what now the thing the thing your your doc Do you know what you're calling out next yeah? Okay, no no I just I realized that the the announcement is not like I didn't set it live because we weren't live No, I know I thought I had okay. Yeah, it didn't work from here for some reason. Oh, I click save That's why all right so also in the news this week li-fi internet also known as Linus fidelity internet basically you just you you build up two linus's in your house They take a fair amount of resources, but they're pretty solid and then they communicate with each other very quickly They're really for as long as they don't cheat because it's Linus fidelity not not Linus breaking all the rules Yeah, so you just got to keep them in line so basically it doesn't work at all What else we got this one does yes? Yes, this is the real one anyways AMD is dropping prices for Black Friday And a toddlers eyeball was sliced by a drone propeller Okay, I mean you know it was a matter of time for like someone got hurt Yeah, but like has some baby been hit by a thrown football and knocked out and well there was no there was that baby that Got hit by the by the beer can Yeah, at the baseball game like projectiles Yeah, so now like everyone in the upper in the upper deck has to have plastic cups or something something something yeah I mean it was really interesting hearing them talk about this on the radio because the only radio I listen to is sports radio So if you ever hear me talk about what they talk about on the radio It's gonna be beer cans being thrown off the deck at a baseball game It was really interesting hearing them talk about this because people had such varying opinions number one is Hooligans should shoot them all people who are throwing things off the upper deck yeah Opinion number two was what is your toddler doing at a baseball game? Because the kid was like one year old wow so like why are they at a bit? I went to leave them at home. I'm like giant crazy Outdoors electronic music thing where the music was like very very very loud and people had like Very young like a year or below kids there without headphones and I'm like I Don't know much about this field as we noticed last week when I called it a kennel, but like That can't be a good thing. There's no way. That's a good thing my ears hurt my head hurts. That's a toddler Yeah, I listened to a lot of music all the time. I don't know anyways all right So wait are we supposed to roll the intro probably oh? Did we talk yesterday? Did we talk yes? We did talk about them all yep I'm never sure how much they can hear us Phantom glass has a promo I Fix it has a promo Fresh books doesn't have a promo, but it's still cool anyway All right, so this is this is the best. This is this is the best Comment in the twitch chat. Why are the parents subjecting their child to baseball? Oh? Yeah, my brother-in-law is like He's hardcore into baseball and golf and I'm just like I Find those to be two of the most boring sports ever they're relatively fun to play I like playing baseball I hate watching baseball I would make the argument that baseball is actually super boring to play because you literally spend One-ninth of your time actually doing anything unless you're the pitcher of the catcher It's fun to play if you have like people to talk to so like my favorite thing about baseball That's like saying fishing is fun Fishing is fun because you get out on a boat with a bunch of bros, and you drink beer. That's why I fish That's why anyone fishes like I get such a kick out of people who are like yeah like competitive fishing and blah blah blah I'm like yeah like competitive fishing is like is like this tiny Miniscule percentage of the people who actually have any idea what the crap They're doing and are convert and are actually using skill to catch the fish better Most of fishing like oh, sorry, honey. You know I gotta go. I gotta go really early That's when the fish are biting also You know that's I need a couple minutes to like go and dig my like huge case of beer out of where I stashed it And get that in the boat without you noticing it because you're not awake yet like come on Baseball is pure socializing My thing about baseball video we're gonna lose a whole whack ton of American fans here I know my one of my favorite things about American baseball Videos are when it shows like the guys just screwing around All the time like there's so many of them there on on imager a while ago There was a huge list of I think over like a hundred gifts of like this season Like antics just crazy crap people have done they they come up with these like insanely ludicrous Handshakes they they like throw food to each other like team to team There's one where like two guys opposing team are just like chilling against Opposing fences playing rock-paper-scissors like across the stadium. Oh Oh my god What are you doing with your time like at least with football people are usually like strategizing or engaged in the game These guys are just like and I hear I hear a lot of I hear a lot of like yeah like You know, it's a mind game. It's strategy and I'm like, okay to an extent But like bowling or like golf There is there's there's a certain amount of if you have a whole team full of people who are straight-up Individually skilled better than the other team There's actually not a whole lot of strategy that you can do to beat that team and I know You know operating as a cohesive unit this and that etc. That's all very important, but Generally speaking Are you back to baseball? I'm back to baseball. I'm back to baseball. Yeah, I was like what bowling I you have to encourage each other. I guess yeah Yeah, like you team spirit, you know, you know, you can make that But there's not a whole lot of variability in terms of like should you go for the double play or should you just get the Guy at first like come on. So people are people are giving me people Oh people are people are hitting on NASCAR in the in the comments I would argue that NASCAR is actually way more legitimate than baseball. I'm sorry It's like a physics game basically It looks really repetitive and it's quite repetitive to watch. I don't watch it. I will never watch it Super boring Burkle posted this thing the other day That was like V8 supercar racing somewhere in Europe. Mm-hmm. Super interesting the cars were like Super close to each other going around really really tight corners. It was it was nuts I usually get really bored watching racing, but that was cool. All right, people are asking for a topic I'm like, I guess so. All right, so original post here is from WCCF tech boom Nvidia's entire 900 series GPU lineup gets price cuts for the holidays Pretty serious one. Including the GTX 980ti, which I think we had covered when we said 900 series the 980 Which I think we that does 900 series. It's 980 in the 900 series It depends on how you look at it. See if you look at the inverse it's in the zero series Shut up Okay, okay. Okay. So hold on Hold on. I'm gonna I'm gonna go to tangent. They should just do that. They shouldn't make it the like 1080 no, I was just gonna I was heading Oh, okay Guys, what do you think the GTX 1080? optimized for 4k Right. Yeah, it's kind of weird the 1080ti optimized for 4k with VR Right. I am really looking forward to it I am really looking forward to that my entire Portion or no you do GPU videos in their entirety now, whatever so your entire video I would ask but this is a mandate Will be full of jokes if it's 1080 it will be full of jokes about that. Yeah, excellent Yeah, alright So basically the 980 the 979 60 and 950 are all getting cut for the holidays I mean, it's not like in in five years we have to do or actually closer to four something now, but We should we have to do we have to do a review of like glasses just to troll people glasses in 2020. Oh Or we could do like the entire The entire like year could be videos of like old products and we could be like this is the hindsight year Just take an entire year to troll people An entire year, I think even we wouldn't get away with yeah I don't so the 980 Ti is down from 649 to 589 or as low as 559 after MIR The 980 has dropped about 60 bucks actually even more after mail-in rebates 970 is down from 329 to 289 so some pretty significant price cuts anywhere from sort of the 10% to 15 ish plus percent range the 950 goes all the way down to 139 or 129 after MIR unfortunately other regions other than the United States on new egg calm may not see the same or even similar price Discounts Nvidia is doing that thing again where they act like a really America centric company We're kind of like how the shield was only available in America if I recall correctly grid beta was only available No, because I had it in Canada. No, okay. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna nail them on grid beta But I will definitely nail them on shield only being available in America So they're they're kind of doing that thing again Yeah I mean okay to be clear I do understand all the logistics involved in coordinating a price drop with your resellers because the kind of accounting involved in paying for things after you receive them, but then less some kind of discount But if you own if you sell through the units within that period then it's not less the disk It's actually pretty complicated and some some distributors are not set up correctly to do it and blah blah blah blah like it actually is complicated, but I Think America only super sucky like I think you could have at least done sort of a Smattering of territories where they are somewhat set up for it like I'm sure you know case king dot de can handle how to do a point Of sale rebate so yeah, yeah, I'm pretty pretty frustrating in other news What's this? AMD is cutting prices on their R9 series which includes the r7 no wait it doesn't right I get it So the fury X the fury the nano the 390 X 390 and the 380 Uh interesting fact I did not realize it was called the r9 nano. I thought it was called the r9 fury nano I Don't understand why they didn't call it the fury nano what it is not called the r9 fury nano I was trying to buy some and I couldn't find them Yep trusted reviews calls it the fury nano anon tech calls it the r9 nano anon tech got it right WCCF tech got it Wrong, but that shouldn't surprise us Yeah Go figure right what yeah, so I have always called it the r9 nano, but I would have laziness yes So yeah, actually this is this is interesting I I need seven of them and AMD was going to send them to us But after confirming they were gonna send them to us. They were like hey, we can't So I was like hey, okay, I guess I'll buy them then cuz I super need them for this project Why is this a twister? and oh, I don't know and Intel Kingston Asus and I I'm sure there are other there are other people have already sent me the hardware to do this project So I pretty much have to do it now case labs is like doing a custom painted case for me for this project The project must go forward so so so hopefully they'll they'll That's gonna be expensive something like that no no I think the plan is for them to reimburse us or something But it was just it was like a complicated. Hey, we thought we had them turns out we didn't know that might be better Cuz this time they can't ship it to us and then actually have not shipped it to us and then ship it to us later Yeah, we had a lot of people asking why our 380x Review video was late and the answer is that we straight up got briefed on it like we got our reviewer Briefing and we got our press deck and our reviewers guide and all that stuff, and we were like we were like ready Hmm, and then the card just didn't show up. Yeah, so yeah, it's up now on vessel, so that's cool Yay, all right anyway, so the r9 fury x is down from oops I just changed a thing is down to 569 after MiX The nano is down to 549 making it much more reasonably priced The fury is all the way down to 499 making it an excellent value and the 390x and 390 are down to 429 and 329 respectively 390 is a good deal at that price too actually I mean these are all kind of good deals on both sides all of these pricings are in USD and they're off of new egg Com other regions may not I think the same or similar discounts 390 is 279 oh Sorry, sorry, sorry the down from 429 and 329 to 379 and 279 So a 390 for 279 Yeah, that's almost as good as we get all the time on scrapyard wars except not even close Buying used 290s. It's so solid. It's like the way to go Were they mined on Yes, probably probably they always say no, but like come on I always get such a kick out of that because okay Guys pro tip for buying used hardware if the posting says wasn't mined on wasn't mined on It was definitely mined or never overclocked. It was definitely it was definitely mined on and overclocked It's like it's like lady driven. You know, yeah. Yeah, it's like if you have no what that term means. Yes It probably wasn't done that way. You know what overclocking is come on There's no way you never tinkered with the dot There's no way you never tinkered with the dial a little bit. Yeah, or maybe you didn't maybe you didn't maybe you're the one honest person on the internet Good for you. Good job. Yeah. All right. So we've got our next topic here original article. Here's from the IB Times About I don't know. Oh which which let's do it drop. Do you think yes more? Yes, who had the best I want to hear from you guys If you're shopping for a video card everyone else but out if you're shopping for a video card Who has enticed you more? Yeah with their holiday specials? Yeah green team or red team Tweet at Linus tech go go go and in the meantime We're gonna do this topic before we before we revisit that so it's interesting how the r9fury X and The GTX 980 Ti both managed to still be the exact same dollar Yeah, it's it's it's almost and after a million rebates. It's almost like Nvidia and AMD have Huge spy networks at each other's companies It's almost like the tech industry is a completely inbred Sort of it's like this like there's like only a few thousand people and they just kind of move from company to company It's almost like that happened. So Lifi internet the first real world usage boasts speeds a hundred times faster than Wi-Fi To explain how it works you should click on the third source fourth the explanation graph And then we can try where it's in the dock sure yeah, I'll get that up for you guys, so it's it's like Get an exponential graph instead of explanation graph oh Damn What? What jokes? Someone will get that in the twitch chat someone will get that all right anyways So it's it's light. It's visible light. Yeah, so like you can straight-up use LEDs. It's white light. Yep So the visible light spectrum is 10,000 times larger than the radio waves we use for Wi-Fi today, which is very good point Because people got it. Oh good because the the reason that the reason that the rate at which we can send data over Over Wi-Fi is limited is because there's only so much spectrum available And a lot of it is already allocated for other stuff that isn't your phone Yeah, or but that is your phone But is like your phone cellular signal traffic stuff or your phone cellular data signals military stuff government stuff the radio You know we call them radio waves. Yes the radios. It's kind of there um So with light you could actually what okay? What everyone's talking about the mic? Fix the mic fix the darn mic I Don't know a bunch of other people. It's just crooked who cares whatever no no don't know Morgan. I'm gonna make it worse do it Yeah, yeah, yeah Now we're living on the edge. Yeah, you know on twitch chat I Probably bad idea So infrared kind of sucks infrared is not super fast. We've known this for a long time I mean remember when remember my computers had like infrared data ports on the side of them And then we all completely gave up on that because it was trash boys That never worked yeah Awesome, but infrared is fine for things like handy to change the channel where you're sending extremely small amounts of data So that's where it really still finds its use modern LEDs However could transmit enough data for a stable broadband connection, but still look like normal white light So look at that up to 1 billion bits per second Now this does come with some caveats however, so literally white light. You're not going to go through walls Yeah, so you better be maintaining like a line of sight to your to your Lie fi hotspot. We run a cable yeah, and it could be kind of cool if you need to go like across the ceiling To another AP yep. Yep, or it could be well. Yeah Assuming that there's no I like I don't know how they're handling light pollution Yes, that's gonna be really weird one thing that I brought up before we went on the show was I would be interested in Trying it in like a studio setup and turning off and turning on very white lights and seeing if it polluted it or whatever And something that's really unclear to me at this point too is if we're gonna transmit data via light If we're gonna transmit data by light then are the are the receivers and transmitters for this Really going to be less expensive than a typical you know Multi-mode fiber in which case if we're gonna send data by light And it has to be line of sight should we just run a piece of fiber? It's not that hard and even my ceiling example like just run it along the ceiling um And like it doesn't really address. I mean okay, so picture this you're like you're playing a game, right? play a game And someone's like oh Hey, how you doing, and you're like oh crap. Oh no my hotspots right there now to be clear I don't think anyone X. I lost my MLG man. We should do more skits That was great act pretty much a great day um now to be clear I don't think anyone expects this to replace Wi-Fi, but as a supplementary Connectivity option to Wi-Fi so when you cool. It's like a crazy speed boost Yeah, like when you're close to the access point having it be you know like what's the fastest speed? They've managed to achieve right now like 224 gigabytes per second in lab conditions like that's pretty cool like if you could have Lifi receiver gigabit gigabit gigabit not you can have a Lifi receiver on like the base of your monitor or something Mm-hmm, and it's like prop your phone up and transfer things through it wirelessly. Yeah, that'd be pretty cool Yeah, so there's a lot of cool stuff, but um So just to put that in perspective 224 gigabit speed would technically allow for 18 movies of 1.5 gigabyte seats to be downloaded in a single second Someone just called out the dash cam skit Oh the dash cam skit was gold. I love the dash cam skit that legitimately was very good Remember We were running on the forest doing stupid crap oh yeah the Patriot the manly manly way Yeah, back when everyone and their dog was like We should have a hard drive with Wi-Fi. Yeah Literally everyone was like Literally everyone and their dog like we made videos for the Voyager air the Seagate free agent go flex free agent go flex I think that was the one Wi-Fi anyway and the Patriot Gauntlet or no gauntlet. I remember one of them being called something that sounded medieval. Yeah, whatever whatever it was arrow arrow It's called the arrow. I think anyway within like six months or something like that. It's like this is ridiculous And now everyone has completely forgotten about the product category as far as I can tell Well no I have used them on trips yes They're great for going on trips if you're on a plane and you ignore the request to turn off wireless transmitting devices Which anyone probably fine, which is probably fine Then you can definitely bring a wireless drive with you and you can definitely watch movies It's always funny to me when When when sites use examples that are just straight up like they must be piracy like why would a movie be 1.5 gigs? It's like is 1.5 gigs the average size of like a compressed blu-ray rip or something because it sure that sure as hell isn't a DVD It sure as hell isn't a video CD as if any like real releases were ever done on those and it's sure not a blu-ray So what is this? What's a 1.5 gigabyte video? It's a home movie It's a home movie right So before mass adoption current devices need to be retrofitted to support li-fi Every LED in the future could be used as an alternative to Wi-Fi As long as it was like not connected at all like it is now Yeah like I don't know I get copper is gonna be a thing for a long time I'll be interested to see where this goes because I'm sure We're thinking like where we both have our minds like stuck in the now a little bit right now I think where we're thinking like I said it would be super cool We're thinking home networking, but maybe there's applications for this that just go way beyond that You know and I don't know what they are exactly or or or maybe maybe this technology could be used for cheaper Cheaper fiber optics or something along the line White light makes me wonder a little bit because like if you think about school like grand halls essentially yeah a lot of times in schools the ceilings are really high I don't really know why they just are so if you could have these things all along the ceiling and your phones and laptops or whatever able to communicate with them that would be sick super fast networking within your school all the time But how does that work when it's really bright? I don't know I don't know I did like I would imagine the Sun would just wreak havoc on this yeah I don't know I don't know But one other advantage is that it doesn't interfere with other radio signals which is it's like if you know anything about light you should probably have already known that This was kind of brutal original article here is on technical sorry Twitter Twitter oh right the Twitter blitz okay and then we'll we'll get back to that man that that that was a who thought that was a good idea all right everyone's talking about it we haven't done Okay getting a used maybe overclocked on 1990 from work for 40 pounds so team red is my best bet yeah okay all right that doesn't count but yes do that that's awesome ah AMD because the new driver doesn't take 10 seconds to launch and configure anything you know I gotta give you that why does G force experience take so long to launch If I click on the because Terrence like I want you to use shadow play to record your gameplay footage for the Steam controller review yeah and he wants me to use it for everything which is great I get it it compresses audio horribly terrible in that way but the video is good yeah so okay cool if I even click the shadow play button my computer will lock up for like a couple minutes and then eventually let go doesn't matter I can't even get close to touching shadow play if I try to open G force experience at all the whole thing will like lag out and crash Explorer will die Explorer will come back and then G force experience will load up it's pretty brutal yeah I don't have that problem on any other computer you know what the funny thing is about Nvidia is they've got all these amazing cool like really complicated features that work within the driver and work within your games and actually work really well and then they try and build a control panel to let you turn the switches on and off and it's like nope with that said I've got my I've got my complaints about AMD's drivers as well I have not tried me neither I've heard good things I've heard good things I've also heard terrible things the Linux community is up in arms right now I'm sure they are because basically they just skinned the old one as far as anyone can tell and all the promise performance improvements are most of the Linux community use that thing anyways yeah but I'm sure that they'd love to have an official driver that doesn't suck probably just saying um all right AMD because oh yeah no we just said that here's your answer look at that order to 390 bam 300 bucks yeah all right they were to whatever yep great yeah very nice just seems very low red team look at how many okay Zacros the first one first one for the green team here project documenting my subs okay that's not really on topic also not on topic also not on topic no well that's on topic but you're done fix the mic no not gonna happen Nvidia AMD because I need CUDA for development this uh AMD's doing that thing yeah AMD's doing that whole CUDA thing so Nick you might want to stay tuned because I'm not sure I'm actually not sure what the exact status of it is like I don't know if the latest driver boom turned on CUDA or if support is gonna be as good or if it's gonna be as fast for a while but the the word on the street I read this article a week or two ago but the word on the street is that AMD is has got some kind of licensing deal for CUDA now yeah so yeah stay tuned for that red team green team but something why not both why don't we have both some GIF okay cool team red GTX 960 well based on based on our audience it's looking like AMD one black Friday there so that's good for them is when I was shopping for when I got the scrapyard wars 92 90 yeah I looked online that was $420 new now you can get three 90s which are the same card yeah but for under $400 new that guy got it for 300 bucks okay so like so 400 yeah just say yeah yeah it's so bad right now all right what else we got for topics today terrible thing that we all right yeah this this is like I don't know what they were thinking just Amazon backtracks after covering New York City subway car and Nazi symbols so here's a tweet from Catherine lamb 42nd Street shuttle to Times Square covered in Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan symbols for an Amazon ad is this okay I'm thinking a lot of people kind of went with no now to explain Amazon and end this this is interesting because you can see it's actually like an American flag but with a German eagle and German cross in it and then it's like the Japanese war flag with stars and stripes like it okay it's like it's kind of it's a super weird thing and it's for you can see this right here High Castle yeah this is not because Amazon's like you know Hitler was right that's not what happened here it's promoting a novel on that real bad yeah probably oh oh there's nothing I can do it's on the internet now so Amazon was trying to promote a show yeah Amazon was a really interesting sounding show yeah so it's a new TV series it's called the man in the high castle and it's a story of a world where the Axis nations won World War two so decisively that they took over the US didn't attack Russia yeah yeah yeah where we're just like everyone before them who ever thought attacking Russia was a good idea they also decided attacking Russia was not a good idea wait no hold on just like whatever the point is attacking Russia has never worked yeah not once yeah ever yeah I'm not convinced the Russians could take over Russia I don't think they have so so so so yeah so I mean it definitely got so let's talk was it inappropriate I personally fall into the yes that was totally inappropriate camp what do you think yeah I think it's totally inappropriate I can't I'm amazed at the amount of things that that must have gone through and was approved the whole time because there's no way you can get an ad on the subway without someone checking it out first yep someone from New York City definitely was aware of this yeah someone from something some form of management of New York City was like yeah cool all right yep so that got approved not only through Amazon but partially yeah government or like what it will maybe not government I don't know it might I don't know what private there like whatever their transport authority would be yeah someone someone signed off on this multiple times like multiple people signed off of it yeah on multiple stages I mean maybe they just kind of thought well you know hey we're not saying it would have been a good thing if the axis forces one world war two that's not what happened the point of the movie is like how bad it would have been I haven't well obviously I have no idea I haven't watched it I intend to watch the show now so that leads us to our next question effective marketing I think it totally worked we are talking about a show on Amazon's thing right now there's no way we would have done that yep I would not have cared well not that I wouldn't have cared someone could have told me about that premise for a show and I would have gone yeah alternative history I'm kind of into that but I probably wouldn't have heard about it because I wouldn't have been browsing you know Amazon for TV shows that are coming up that wouldn't have happened and this blew up so now everyone knows about it and with with the top gear guys going there and now this massive thing yeah it's on video streaming service is getting more news right now I think you know what I've got a really good comment in twitch chat really good comment in twitch chat we should probably do a twitter blitz on this as well guys tweet at Linus tech and let us know let us know your thoughts on this but this person went well hold on a second they didn't put swastikas up so they they're saying that's the line the line is swastikas because the the German Eagle and the German Cross are definitely German say symbols of that time in history but they are in the symbol of the Nazi Party and to be fair not all German people were bad then to be very very clear so yeah I don't know I still think I personally think it was over my line it was over my line I think we can all agree it was over everyone's line if they had the swastika on it but even even even the eagle the war flag and the cross were were were over my line it was a little bit probably too aggressive what they could they could have done a very similar but probably okay angle where they just ask the question all over the place yeah what like what if this bench had a Nazi flag yeah what like have that in text and high point or whatever high seat or whatever it's called yeah and high castle high castle so here let me let me see let me have actually have a have a look at like you know maybe maybe yeah maybe they could have maybe they could have even had one one picture of not covering it yeah like if it here so so back to the back to the so aggressive yeah so if they'd had the seat have like a little flag what if Hitler had one high castle Amazon November 20th like kind of like this messaging that they have up here I think people people would have asked the question as opposed to gone what is this ad for yeah what is wrong with them yeah I still don't know if that's necessarily even okay but I think it's more okay than what was done yeah alright so let's go ahead let's go straight to twitter let's get the people who got it really quick someone says I think even without swastikas it was slightly over the line it's just a way to get people talking about the show easy marketing due to Amazon's unfairly treated employees this happened what the Eagle was not a symbol of the NSDAP otherwise it would have been banned in Germany which is not and the iron cross is still used oh wow so there you go interesting the swastika was a religious symbol yeah we all know the swastika was not a Nazi symbol before that doesn't change what it means now it's kind of like slightly different anyways for the religious symbol wasn't it like going the other way yeah it might have been the other way or whatever not gonna draw one because I'm sure that would get jift to hell can you even imagine anyway the point but the point is is that the meaning of things does change over time this is something that's been discussed a lot you know whether it's whether it's a word that's a slur and then turns into not one or a word that's not a slur and turns into a slur or symbols that mean one thing and then another thing or hand gestures that become obscene over time it's all it's all part of the fluidity that is the way that we communicate with each other so you can kind of run around and say you know the F word is a bundle of sticks and twigs all day that's not gonna change what it meant and then you could also make the argument South Park did an excellent episode on this that it also doesn't mean what it meant 30 years ago anymore today but that's a debate that I'm not getting into the point is the greatest thing ever what did I do you said jif instead of gif yeah so now instead of like me going through banning hordes of people for saying horrible horrible things in chat they're all talking about you saying jif instead of gif oh I use them interchangeably they're both technically correct all right as a four-year Prime member I've never used Amazon Prime video okay slightly on topic fell in love with the show last year it's entertaining but not great and boring in some parts yeah that's probably how I would write a love letter to my wife I fell in love with you last year you're entertaining but not great and boring in some parts oh I'm just saying that's not a great that's not a great like sales pitch oh I thought you said you're gonna write to your wife no no I'm saying that I'm saying that's awful I was like that's so rude she's a very nice person I know okay I personally feel the world needs to lighten up this happened all we can just move past it I think you know I would I would suggest that anyone who thinks we should lighten up about anything that happened during World War two should probably go hang around at one of the museums in Auschwitz or Strasbourg or wherever else and like for me one of the most one of the most revelatory experiences that I have ever had was standing next to the oven and seeing like the burned shoes and the shoes that they had on display there like and I was like holy crap this actually happened it actually happened I'm standing right where it happened there's people still alive that were around during that yep alright I don't know a pro it's still a novel mine is band tips people are getting wrecked left and right whether it's from me ghost or the bot there's like there's like one person getting banned in chat this whole time excellent step up boys I'll take you out alright so this is kind of a rapid-fire topic here I guess but Samsung has done the unthinkable they are putting TLC NAND so that is three bit per cell NAND in an enterprise SSD so I'll explain for a very brief moment what a big deal is this is in the beginning enthusiast and enterprise grade SSDs were SLC so they stored one bit per cell and the reason that it was done that way is that was the only way to achieve reasonable enough right endurance so that is how many times the SSD the flash can be written to before it fails over time as it is apt to do wait to go Luke bad over time MLC which is what we call colloquially two bit per cell flash although MLC is technically anything that stores more than one bit per cell so TLC three bit per cell flash is technically three bit per cell MLC but colloquially we call two bit per cell MLC MLC so MLC flash showed up on the scene and all of a sudden SSDs got way more affordable for the consumer those of you who were kind of paying attention in the early enthusiast grade SSD days will probably remember the x25e and the x25m Intel's game changing SSDs but before which everything was kind of trash like had serious problems that would cause them to go from being faster than a hard drive to actually slower than a hard drive if they got like they like hitched up on something so the x25 e was only available in 32 and 64 gig configurations and if I recall correctly the 64 gig was like monstrously horrendously priced whereas the x25m featuring MLC flash so the e was SLC and the M featuring MLC flash was available in 80 and I want to say maybe the 160 came later but it was 80 and 160 gig configurations so MLC got good enough but it wasn't good enough for the enterprise for a long time that's where enterprise MLC came in so enterprise MLC can do something to the tune of I think it's 10 times the right cycles of SLC excuse me of MLC which still isn't as much as SLC but SLC is just so cost prohibitive and the capacities are limited because you can store so much more data per flash chip using MLC technology so eMLC happened now Samsung was the first to do TLC flash in a consumer drive with the eight forty I want to say EVO oh crap I hope it was the 840 EVO I'm sure someone's going to correct me it was either the 840 or the 840 EVO can't remember exactly someone's going to correct me whatever so they were the first to do a consumer TLC SSD since then everyone else has been trying to do TLC some have released drives but I don't know if you guys saw that latest one from Micron it's a bomb in a bowl like Samsung has figured out people are saying it's the EVO thank you no it wasn't the pro the pro was MLC okay so the non pro was the TLC one so other guys have been trying to figure out TLC for quite some time now because it gives you less right performance and less endurance but way more capacity and it's cheaper so Samsung figured out with fine tuning their controller and the flash because they're one of the only I think are they the only one they might be the okay don't quote me on this but Samsung may be the only completely vertically integrated SSD maker where they make the DRAM cache they make the controller they make the flash they make the freaking they assemble the freaking PCBs they make they do the firmware they do the whole thing so they made it all work together so cohesively that they were able to get acceptable performance in spite of the fact that they were using this essentially like USB thumb drive grade flash not quite it's been as well so it's like the best of the TLC flash so anyway now while everyone else is still using EMMC or EMLC or worst case scenario MLC for an enterprise grade drive Samsung is releasing a TLC drive what this allows them to do and I'm finally getting to this what them allows this to do is deliver an enterprise SSD with a price of less than 60 cents a gig and a capacity up to 3.84 terabytes in a two and a half inch form factor that my friends is bananas yes yes it's bananas so they're they're using their 3D NAND and they're using TLC in order to get unheard of densities we actually have a unit on route I haven't actually talked to Samsung in over a year so and it wasn't even me I was just like Nick do we still have a contact at Samsung SSD yeah because we haven't talked to them at all since they provided those drives for the forum that was over a year ago yeah I just blew your mind didn't I so I was like do we even still have a contact there because I want to check this thing out so that is coming and I'm super stoked because higher capacity SSDs cannot be a bad thing so looking at competitors Intel's DCS3510 has a maximum capacity of 1.6 terabytes and Microns M510DC tops out at just under a terabyte pretty cool stuff and something to realize is when you choose a storage solution it's never really as simple as this drive is the best it's always trade-offs whether the trade-off is cost capacity read speed write speed endurance vibration resistance form factor like density how much of it you can cram in there there's there's all these different trade-offs so this enterprise drive even though it's not going to be as heavy duty for writes as another enterprise drive based on EMLC or if you can find some rare SLC drives out there SLC but what it will be great for is really fast random reads if you need a lot of storage so I could see I could see someone like Facebook eating these up actually I believe the front page is all in RAM right now don't quote me on that I think they moved it yeah I think they moved because there was a big thing talking about like oh wow it's all in SSD and then I think yeah I think they've moved all to RAM however that doesn't mean that having another way faster than mechanical tier that's way higher capacity isn't going to help them out big time like big time so so there you go that happened this week I'm like super stoked on playing with that you know what else happened this week is Seagate shipped us 35 of their eight terabyte enterprise capacity drives it's got a lot of people saying yeah but the write speed sucks no no these are not the archival eight terabyte drives I'm aware of those that is not what we have we have the SATA 3 6 gigabit per second SATA enterprise capacity drives so these are full read full write they are not quite as optimized for random as something like the SAS version and they're just the basic one they don't have self-encrypting drive functionality unfortunately but they're ballin they're awesome and I'm actually I've been waiting for these for a lot of projects I've got a lot of stuff planned for these drives we're going to do an on-site backup server we're going to do an off-site backup server we are going to investigate unread versus free NASA over the next little bit what else do I have planned right and a video that I promised months ago when I originally did my free NASA build and I was like here's the story nader it's running free NASA I promised to do a performance follow-up well the performance on it has been trash like too trash like I did something wrong there's something wrong with it the problem is that it had all of our data on it and I couldn't I couldn't reformat it I couldn't I because I think I think it's a combination of things it's using native 4k sector drives it's using the non-optimal it's using non-optimal numbers of drives per VDEV and see what was the was the other suspected issue anyway there's a number of things that I might have gotten wrong during the configuration setup so I wanted to take another crack at it but I've had nowhere to put that data so I'm currently transferring at about 500 megabytes per second off of the free NASA and on to another machine and then I'm going to copy it somewhere else so I'm going to have it on a hardware raid and I'm going to have it on an unread while I retool the free NASA box and then copy everything back over there so I'm pretty excited about that alright so this is this is this is very unfortunate over on the BBC toddlers eyeball sliced by drone propeller so brutal yeah so the the drone was flown by a family friend and yeah the operator lost control the drone and he'll need several operations before he can have a prosthetic eye fitted which is which is really unfortunate I mean it's one of those things where I don't think we are going to like I don't think we're going to start seeing regulations in terms of whether you can fly drones inside your house or whatever else but it is it has it has certainly it has certainly made me consider whether I would fly a drone even anywhere near my kids even outdoors yeah I don't know because when they when they go full runaway mode they can move pretty pretty darn fast it can actually get a little a little aggressive yeah there's a fair amount of videos based on that so the drone pilot said it was up for about 60 seconds as I brought it back down to land it just clipped the tree and spun around so super super unfortunate someone said that's why the drone should have foam bumpers doesn't always stop something like this but probably would have helped and and could have helped could have helped but hindsight is always 2020 and you always I mean for the thousands and tens of thousands and probably hundreds of thousands of drone flights most of the time no one got their eyeball sliced open yes yeah yeah there's a new raspberry pi on the scene this is actually insane yeah the raspberry pi zero which is look how small it is it's tiny it's fantastic how much it costs it's in the picture yeah five bucks yeah yeah really go one gigahertz processor I believe yeah HDMI out I think that's USB in yeah oh you've got all the stats there yeah I do yeah I was 512 megs of DDR2 yeah like it's five bucks for like it honestly relatively capable computer yeah very cool stuff kinda cool smallest form factor ever 65 millimeters someone's saying it's sold out already six and a half centimeters by 30 millimeters so that's three centimeters by five millimeters which is half a centimeter sold out within 24 hours yes friends people were snapping these puppies up real real quick fast that's really cool the amount of like embedded projects you can do with that would be sick yeah we actually would like to do more stuff like that in the future we've got some plans for some stuff I don't know if we've got it in time for this year I think we might run out of time to do that one thing we discussed but you've got the you've got all the parts you need for that other project that we ordered stuff for like ages ago I'm hoping she thinks something did get lost in the move but at the very least possible we do have the majority of them I looked through the box at least most of it is there I'm missing a lot of the boxes but I think those boxes were thrown out and I think that things were put in the one box so I'm just hoping I've got all them I don't know so how do you feel about this Yahoo mail begins blocking users with ad block oh we were unable to display display Yahoo mail please disable ad blocker to continue using Yahoo mail done done I think there's a lot of angles you can take on this I think it can be unintelligent for a website or a service to aggressively go after people that use ad block but I think it is entirely up to them I think this is YouTube was tinkering with it for a bit yeah I think this is a very unclassy way to do it because people's emails are extremely important and to just not allow them to access them until they do a thing that they might not know how to do if their kid installed ad block for them or something is very aggressive and not really okay but if you gave them like a warning that you're gonna do it in the future or something I would at least be nicer and they didn't do that and that's I do not like how they did it I think I think yeah whose biggest mistake is thinking that anyone cares about my email like if I if I got that message if I used an ad blocker and I was like so I can't access my Yahoo mail I just be like okay I guess I'll use another email service I have to confess something you still have Yahoo mail not me my girlfriend really yeah you know that's only one step better than aOL I know which is only one step better than using your ISP yeah okay it's like it's bad so you don't you don't have to go to like you also uses Apple Maps you don't have to go to tech hell but you do have to go to like tech purgatory for a bit okay okay I mean you have to accept that sentence that was a light sentence like I'm pushing to fix things I actually don't mind Apple Maps Google Maps I haven't used it in a long time when I did use it it was super terrible it's way better okay Google Maps has has actually misled me more drastically than Apple Maps ever has so even though Apple Maps isn't always perfect Google Maps has gotten to the point where do you remember when I was supposed to come back here for that hot dog challenge super fun yes so I was sitting I like I was I was I was sitting watching my Google Maps on my phone and it was like traffic yellow ahead okay I'm sitting there I know for a fact no one has moved on this road in 15 minutes so the traffic is yellow okay and which is usually not bad the ETA to the office just went up one minute for every minute that I sat there so it was straight up not accounting wasn't doing for the fact that nobody was moving which I thought was the entire point so that it could map you around things like why they bought ways like wasn't it like I think that was literally the whole point that's pretty rough all right Nick Nick claims that Apple Maps tried to send him 40 minutes away for Tim Hortons when he was literally 500 meters away from one you know what Google Maps has gotten a lot worse about that too like you can't just be like Home Depot and it'll be it'll be one in like Coquitlam like they it's okay it's pretty bad they're both pretty bad for some reason and I find browsers in general seem to be getting worse yeah what's that in the last like two months I swear my browser's gotten worse what's that browser that just went into beta that everyone has yeah the Vol D maybe it's maybe the Vol D's our last hope but like did you like opera much no never never I know so I know I don't know why everyone thinks it's gonna be the Savior it'll be cool if it is but like yeah I know I'm not expecting much but then if it's awesome then I'll be even happier so that's good this is interesting virtual reality needs tweaks more women than men get motion sickness with oculus rift a virtual reality headset very very interesting so this is a University of Minnesota study isn't this isn't part of the study that more women than men get motion sickness yes so um yeah so how to fix users has found that for every three men that get seasick five women will so they tested having participants play a VR and that's seasick so they tested having participants play a VR game for 15 minutes 35% of subjects got sick within 10 minutes of those 70% were women so this can mean a number of things number one is it backs up what I said last week men and women are not the same so to be clear I'm not saying they're not equal I'm just saying that you know a pile of hammers is not necessarily better than six screwdrivers depending on what you need so does that mean they could be equal and just thought the same or let's say a pile of screwdrivers there pile of hammers and piles of screwdrivers so like to equal natural effects they would need to be at 75% hmm wait aren't they doing better than no 35% of the subjects got sick overall so 65% were fine of those 35 70% of them were women yeah so but women got more sick but women already get more motion sick yes so is it any worse than it actually currently is no I don't believe so so what do they have to work on well what they have to work on is the overall percentage yeah yeah yeah they just have to make it better but that's exactly yeah that's what they're doing yeah I know I know I know I know I know it's really funny because it it really didn't take very long for for someone someone someone we need virtual reality needs tweaks also by the way it's not out yet they're working on it and when it comes out that'll be version one which everyone knows is like not really the one you're really that excited for yeah and I tweak it down the road even V2 is not gonna be like the greatest thing ever like I'm probably I'm probably just going to kind of live with feeling sick because I suspect I'm gonna feel sick I yeah I've been really good in that department I don't do amazing on boats okay like actually I'm okay on boats maybe I'll be fine pretty solid on boats but I'm not like there are people that are better than me I have felt bad on a boat once but I've been on boats many times but like I can do rollercoaster standing up and like I have no problem with VR at all I think part of it is I'm when did you ever stand on a roller coaster no like VR rollercoaster ah I didn't mean a real-life one horrible idea yeah you do VR rollercoaster standing up and stuff no problem I think part of that is I never have actually felt a huge amount of immersion in VR really like there's some people that are like oh I'm totally in the game and I'm like no I'm not feels like a monitor that strapped my face it's a very cool effect but I think for me to get really immersed there's gonna have to be a lot more other things so like even when you're upside down on a roller coaster there's people that have like I've seen videos of people that'll like throw up the second they go upside down because their internal balance goes off and stuff my mind is like nope we're standing I think part of it's just the sheer amount of video games that I've played right yeah I think that's a huge part of it yeah I I would be really interested to know how the women break down of the 70% that got same gamers versus non-gamers that would be really interesting cuz my wife can play TF2 Left 4 Dead top-down games no problem I I put her in portal and she was done within like a minute interesting yeah as soon as she goes through a portal she's like oh I'm sick nope done done can't do it so this is even somewhat but but while while she can handle normal games where you don't change the where gravity doesn't move around on you all the time she's not like a hardcore gamer by any means like she hasn't been gaming since she was a little kid I would be really interested to know how much your your childhood affects something like this and and yeah boats a lot tons of sports lots of video games that was my childhood I don't know it's a lot but boats at least every summer for like two weeks straight and like it's it's it's obviously it's like it's obvious that there's gonna be some there's gonna be some nature versus nurture here but yeah here's here's an interesting fact I used to get sick in the I used to get car sick pretty quickly like within about five minutes of reading in the car I would get sick I do with drivers that I don't find very good oh okay well I would get sick no matter what this is when I was a kid I love reading I love reading and I loved playing on my game gear when I was a kid okay so basically I would just play through it and it would get to the point where I would feel so sick that I couldn't even look up from the book because that would be like too much and I'd like and eventually I'd give in and I'd have to put it down and I'd have to just kind of chill for like an hour and then I could go and then I'd go right back to it so I do wonder if I've built a bit of a tolerance and I wonder if that's something that other people have done as well you just like force yourself through it yeah yeah cuz like I need to know what happens in the next chapter and feeling sick is straight up not more important than that I've been there so Sony is apparently working on a ps4 remote play app for the well for PC and Mac which is pretty cool so here's the original article from Linus tech tips hold on no sorry here's the original article from the verge sorry my dad I would I'm so stoked for the day that we just like happened to get some writer dude and we have original articles from Linus tech tips yeah I know right that would be super cool should happen at some point yeah can't be impossible yeah cuz I mean come on how hard was this article to write remote play is one of the PlayStation 4's most underrated features probably because it only works on the Vita and some Sony smartphones that no one cares about something something this app should bring Sony in line with Microsoft which launched Xbox one streaming a while ago here's a tweet these things are cool I want them to make it so I can just play these games on my computer yep that'd be better I mean here's something I want to know why can't I just buy a virtual PlayStation 4 yes if I'm willing to give Sony $400 to not make any hardware shouldn't they embrace that or you can do my scary but kind of cool idea the proprietary drive thing remember that yeah yeah yeah for the for the viewers did I ever even say thanks oh yeah okay for the viewers you could get like an Xbox one or PlayStation 4 like a hard drive optical drive or hard drive or whatever yeah and then like put the discs in that you have to buy from the store so that they know they have their copy protection crap or the hard drive that's controlled by them and you can't format or something I don't know because it's gotten to the point now where Xbox one and PlayStation 4 are just PCs they're just PCs there's nothing special about them which like aren't even that well priced anymore so if I'm like look I don't need your UI I don't care about your Netflix app I don't care about any of this stuff I really just want a game on my PC why can't I just give you my money and then you can just make that work for me I'd be interested to see how many people would do it and like people can be upset all they want about you know well what I have to pay $400 to get access to exclusive titles game developers should just release the titles on PC okay but that isn't happening so I agree but yeah it's not happening exactly like you just said and I know a lot of people that buy entire consoles for game launches like Halo 5 so I wouldn't be that surprised if it did happen I don't know if I would do it but I do know quite a few people that would all right what else we got here in news that surprises absolutely no one EA is already planning more battlefront games yard EA confirms its deal with Disney which is for like 10 years or something like that so oh my goodness we never did our sponsors so speaking of whatever that happens every time yeah wow we have 8200 viewers right now yay 8200 of you can use offer code when PG for 20% off at phantom dot glass slash promo if you're not 60 days for the next 60 days really that long offer code is valid for 60 days nice cool so oh yeah I guess I don't know how to code is a Christmas present and just watch them hopefully like you a lot so yeah so these are gorilla glass screen protectors for a variety of devices they've got a lot of different screen protectors in fact they've got their standard ones now they've also got their new two-way privacy glass screen protectors available for some Apple devices and I guess that's pretty straightforward it goes on without any bubbles if you've watched any of our CES content from last year you'll know everything there is to know about phantom glass we played soccer with the iPhone 6 that Nick light is now using as his daily driver yeah with phantom glass on the front and with one of those VESEL cases as a bumper around the back and a dbrand skin on the back or around the edges for the case and between dbrand vessel they sell basically anyway and phantom glass that phone completely unscathed completely fine completely fine so there you go it's every bit as good as the gorilla glass that's already on your phone except you can peel it off and you could replace it if you do something incredibly stupid like really try to scratch it because that's usually how gorilla glass gets scratched with that said interesting side note gorilla glass is not all made equal my iPhone 6s is already covered in micro scratches like covered in them whereas the droid turbo that I've been using for a year is like pristine and they live in the same pocket I never put this in my party with my keys even keys shouldn't in theory scratch but like I don't do anything with this yeah like I'm actually pretty good with it I've I've really noticed a significant difference from device to device and the iPhone 6 for example both its own screen which I used for a while before I put phantom glass on it and the phantom glass screen that I had on it were fine but the iPhone 6s and that is possible actually because they don't advertise it as gorilla glass anymore it's possible Apple actually switched I'm not sure all right and fresh books fresh books is the easy to use invoicing software that helps small businesses look professional and actually be more professional because you can you can track your hours more easily and more accurately you can send out invoices get paid by credit card through fresh books itself and this is cool if you run a small business whether you run your own dance studio or you a plumbing business or computer repair or maybe you don't repair computers maybe you just take viruses off of off

slash when and get a free 30-day trial today don't forget to enter in the how did you hear about us section when we have fixing things wow that was actually it's almost like we wrote that visit I fix it comm slash Linus and use offer code when show at checkout to save ten dollars on a purchase of fifty dollars or more and they've actually where is it because they have a new toolkit that I think wait am I supposed to talk about that yet yes yes I am supposed to I don't dang it Nick Brandon was shooting b-roll of it oh all right so anyway they've got I fix it is your complete DIY electronics repair solution from their 15,000 free step-by-step repair guides to their huge inventory of replacement parts and tools with lifetime warranty I fix it has got your repair needs covered and they've got an all-new protect tool kit it's got a reimagined design which I mean okay so you kind of access the tools a little bit better it makes the tools easier to access which is I guess where the reimagining comes in it includes the new 64-bit driver kit which replaced the former 54-bit driver kit it's got a more durable case it has a newly designed swivel top precision driver and a flex extension for hard to reach screws thank you Luke it's got precision electrostatic discharge safe tweezers including a pair of reverse tweezers it's got a wider variety of plastic opening tools and picks to safely work on tablets and smartphones it's got a suction cup the old one didn't have that for display assembly removal a metal spudger and I fix its own rubber handle Jimmy pry tool I haven't seen this this is way better yeah yeah I have I we got two of them I took the other one home get ready so so yeah basically it just includes more I fix it goodness and yep okay well hold on there we go hold up put that back on I want to show them something so it sits in here and you can see put it vertical it's fine but you can take the box off which is magnetically held in and then you can take the cover of the box off which is also magnetic way to go well that's because I held it in a really stupid way that was my fault but like I don't know it's cool yeah no I'm liking it and like the like the screwdriver has a really nice knurled bottom on it now so you can get a little bit more torque with it yeah it's it's it's thicker in general and we as we all know thicker is always better this is really cool I actually hadn't seen it before and it's not that it's not the standard 54-bit driver kit but there is a there's like a wooden box version of this too yeah yeah that one looks really nice they didn't send me one they NCIX has one oh yeah so I was kind of like maybe I should just buy one anyway if I do I'll be using offer code when show to save ten dollars on a purchase of fifty dollars or more oh yeah the little the little guitar picks yeah all right so I don't know I guess what the heck else is there I guess not a whole lot sure let's call that the show thank you guys for tuning into the WAN show we will see you again next week same bat time same bat channel sorry there's no after party today I just thought I'd I'm gonna do a stream you're doing yeah are you I'm stealing are you streaming from yeah I know I know what you're doing I said what are you doing are you streaming from here no okay all right yeah I'm liking it well you know what people always people lose my bits people I want one that's in pristine condition and as long as I'm the only one who ever uses it it will stay that way so that's why I took it home also I don't have an I fix it at home I have just been keeping one in my bag and now that we have so many so many kits I want to just keep one at home because yeah I don't like carrying it in my bag all the time yeah I don't like other people using my tools that's why I got John all of his own stuff I especially super don't like other people using my tools no I don't like you use well that tools fine
