 Welcome to the Wancho starting again Make no sense to those of you watching the vibe We've got we're totally doing this for the first time we've actually got some pretty crap topics this week No, yep, they're crap. Um, we do have a we can polish it we You can polish the crap as long as it's not diarrhea Oh Man try and polish diarrhea you just end up with a more advanced process with a my deal here Well, you could like put it in like an ice cube tray Oh, so you freeze it freeze it freeze it then polish it. Yeah Thank you more work, but possible. I mean, can you imagine a poop ice cube? Like what would be a what would be an appropriate context for that? I Mean if you if you're if you need improvised projectiles that might also cause disease Yeah So if you're this far into the show and you're thinking hmm Is this gonna be one of those ones where they actually have tech news or is this gonna be one of the ones where? They just BS for an hour Hopefully that's already clear We do have some we do have some real topics though crash plan for home says or of war That's goodbye in Italian They are pulling out of the home market Samsung's boss and air jailed for corruption jail. Oh this just in Intel's eighth generation mobile processors are just updated seventh generation tips Tips chips. They're not tips at all I'm sorry. I'm having I'm having one of those but the tip of them has been updated. I'm gonna argue like essentially the same jet lag You know, I was in New York this week, right? Yeah, but didn't oh no, you got back yesterday I got back. Okay, I I got okay. I was at the airport in New York at 530 Eastern Time yesterday Whoa, so at 330 home time I was at an airport Getting on what would have been a 530 our time flight getting off I know on boarding at this airport at that airport Then I flew for six hours and I got off the plane at 1030 a.m. Our time and came to the office for the day So I'm going with it. I'm going with the jet seem very tired that day and I was like, huh? Okay, sure Well, did you notice that I was only gone for about 35 hours? I wasn't here Yeah to New York and back plus doing the entire Samsung event on my own on your own. Okay I only vaguely heard about I had no camera person why because you know what? Okay, we'll get to it after the intro. So the Vega shortage could last until October intro boom. I mean who really cares anyway? Who is buying Vega? Okay, does this work? I don't know Not yet. Okay. What the crap? Wait, what about the other one? Why don't I just try the other one? Okay Okay, um, um, sponsors. Fresh books! Books that are fresh Savage Jerky! Less fresh because it's preserved because it's jerky it's smoked but relative relative to jerky. Yeah relative to other jerky I guess it's fresh. Yeah in that there's less preservatives and nitrates Yeah, okay. Hold on. I'm gonna put this back. Why isn't my screen share working? Confused? Confused. Confused and disappointed and hold on I didn't have the thing on and no it's still not working still not working. I don't understand Um also this might be this is like not working. Is that the official end of The end of X split. I don't know. Okay. Well that's Avio Has issues with X split. Yeah. Blames it on X split and refuses to do things because they blame it on X split. Yeah That's um Epiphan. Yeah, no, I'm so okay. That's probably a topic of discussion. Is it finally time for us to move to OBS? Let's find out And actually another good discussion topic that we've got here is is float plane dying? I don't know what would make people think that but that is definitely a I'm stoked on that as a topic of conversation I have no idea where that came from Posted in the dock. What were we talking about before we rolled the intro and I said we were gonna talk about it after the intro I Don't know crap I Have no idea whatsoever Maybe twitch chat will help us with this. It's float plane dying. Where did you get that from? But I'm It's not yeah, it's not. Hold on. Are they gonna help us? It's doing quite well People are asking if I dye my hair all the trip to New York. That's right. Oh My hair. I'm only 31. I can't believe I'm 31 It's not too bad it's not too great you look like a very young 31. Thanks That's like saying you know For a corpse you really don't look that decomposed you don't look like you're in your 30s. So don't worry about it I wouldn't assume that you're in your 30s. You've aged a lot since you like had kids and started this But me too it started nice it started you look really great for your 30s then it's like but wow man You are really on a downward slope, dude. I am too. Yeah, but you can just shave your beard and you know I Okay, yeah, you know what I'm going after it because this is this is payback time baby All right, your face looks horrible BAM, that's right. Screw you dick I'm in the old but at least I can show my face. Where's that? I wonder if I can find it There's the Instagram post from when I had to shave for that video that we didn't get to release Yeah, I know the comments on there are hilarious I think there's people that like legitimately think I'm a different person. Okay, but you know what though in your defense I think part of what I Think part of why it doesn't work for you though is because your hairdo is kind of like you have like kind of I think You're better when I had like the spikes you have a choir boy hairdo But then you offset it with the kind of rugged facial hair Yeah, so when you have like the no facial hair and then you just have like the nice kind of yeah You just you go kind of like yeah kind of choir boy Yeah I think when I had when I had the spikes or when I just had like the faux ha kind of deal or just Short hair in general. I think it I think it did a little bit better. Yeah Okay, so we were supposed to talk about the trip to New York. Okay, so here's what went down Okay, I have never been invited to a Samsung launch event before This is the first time you've just had like the meetings Yeah, so I've had meetings with like Samsung Canada Yeah, where I'll go to like a hotel in Vancouver or a restaurant one time and I'll get briefed on the phone and A lot of the time this is like a week or two after yes, like the unpacked event and Marquez and Jonathan Morrison and Austin all those guys like have full reviews up and I'm getting briefed and I'm seeing the device for the first time because get this because It's just launching in Canada now. Yeah Which is like super stupid As though I should give any cares when it launches in Canada Nobody cares when a device launches in Canada and the kind of stuff they'll cover at these briefings is great They're like, yeah, and the blue color is gonna be available exclusively on Rogers Why I did that but uh Okay Someone will find out from the video that they're interested in the phone go to Rogers.com and be like, oh, there's blue And they'll buy it cool And they'll slap a skin on it anyways Or they'll never go to Rogers.com and never know that they had a blue one and not care Yeah, in all likelihood if we're being honest right now vast vast percentage of people So that's what always happened So I was super stoked to get an invite to the event So I was super stoked to get an invite to the Samsung unpacked event because that meant that I could actually do a hands-on video At the same time that the and every other press in the world mind you the verge had an article or had a video up While Austin and I were sitting there at the audience going why do we even attend these things? Like honestly, oh why are we even why are we even here? What's the point? But that's a whole other conversation Um the verge had a video so they so they so they invited me up and I was like, oh, this is great Yeah, i'd love to go do it. Um, you know, you want to build that relationship? I want to I want to be timely on mobile stuff if I can at all manage to do it And then i'm like, okay. Yeah, so we need two tickets me and a camera person Which I think is fairly reasonable for a publication of our impact and they're like, oh, sorry. Um, You can't bring a camera person and i'm like Okay. Well, can I just pay for their ticket and pay for their hotel or even just share a room? Like I don't care like most of the camera people are here. I'm buddy buddy enough with that. We could just share a room. No problem Um, and then they're like no we can't get you another ticket for the event So even if I brought my own camera person there, you can't get them inside They could only get me one one ticket into the event because again, it's because i'm going through samsung canada samsung canada had 12 tickets For the entire country I was I was going as far as like is this like a fire marshal issue? Like they literally can't bring more people into the building It was full but the problem is that canada's allocation was so little of it right that So austin had three people there Because but he didn't get his hotel and flight paid for and he didn't get like there was this activation after where Why did he need three people? I was supposed to have like get this I was supposed to have two to three thousand dollars to go experience new york with the note 8 And they were like yeah, you could do like a chopper flight or you could do this You could I didn't end up doing anything because I was busy editing my stupid video that I shot that day So I didn't even end up using it, but it was like you guys you guys have all this like influencer budget But I can't bring a camera person to the event with me. Come on So austin didn't have that because that was just something samsung canada was doing but this just all leads back to like a larger fundamental issue which is how Fragmented yes, yeah, we're one company Samsung Okay, they have the verge going live where I don't know why hashtag free luke is being spammed I don't know what it means so they have the one company has the verge going live with a preview Yeah, well the entire rest of the world press which has like Astronomically more views than the rest of the stuff in their channel while the entire rest of the world press is sitting in an auditorium waiting for the presentation to start they've got us and Canada and whatever other countries with wonko allocations for press they've got and and they've got Completely different programs for I would consider myself and Austin pretty similar in terms of what we are youtubers influencers like we fall in the same category and He's got a bias flight by his hotel, but he can get as many tickets as he wants I get a free flight free hotel and a few grand to spend on doing something cool in New York But I can't bring a camera operator Yeah, so it's just all over the place and I just I feel like somewhere At some point what could have even been sort of interesting is if they gave you like one of those phone Gyro things and like you were able to bring an editor Yeah, they got you to like film the whole thing on the phone Yeah And they like gave you a phone to talk about in display and they give you a phone to film with yeah And you're able to bring an editor so they can actually edit the video exactly That would be pretty neat And the other thing too though is consistency like no one's gonna be upset if everyone's kind of doing the same thing Yeah, but like honestly and I don't mean I hope she I sincerely doubt she's watching but there was another person in the media on the media side of the presentation that was sincerely taking notes from the presentation on a little pad of paper and Wrote down like ten things and I'm kind of sitting here going like how are you even covering this? Like what are you are you gonna fold that up tie it to a pigeon and mail it to someone? But what are you doing? What are you doing? Taking written notes before such that you are relevant enough to be here and that you're yeah, but she wasn't it wasn't a speed thing Because she didn't even write my anything She was sitting right in front of me and I'm sitting here going what could you possibly be doing that doesn't require you to digitize? This at some point. Yeah, one of the things that I like about paper notes, and I know this isn't what you're saying I'm just we have to talk a lot today cuz we have no news so I'm going for it Yeah Is is that it's kind of like the one note idea if I had like a surface book that I had folded back with a pen Then sure, but that's I don't have that what no Stop So like I can stop part way through and draw something or do whatever I need to okay She did nothing and the note pad was like this big see that like crazy really hard to see I normally have big ones like this and we're sitting in a dark auditorium because it's like a presentation Yeah, anytime that I've sat down at a presentation if I had the option I did laptop or even phone But if I'm like being walked around a booth really quickly I often just write right So, you know right tool for the job and I totally get that but it was just like like why are you even here? Yeah So what else we what else we got for today actually? Oh, oh Why don't we talk about is flow plane dying slow plane dying? I don't I don't even understand no, okay Is that it? Yeah, that was it in other news. Are we gonna finally move to OBS? Because my laptop screen capture is still not working. Why don't you talk about pros and cons while I see if I can figure this out okay, so If people have watched my little stream I don't know if I've ever talked about it on the WAN show, but I've done quite a few different attempts of moving off of X split to OBS because the amount of Raying that happens from everybody about how OBS is so much better because it's open source Convinced me to try it a few times and I decided that I didn't like it every single time Until recently and I'm sure I'm gonna receive an email about this or a tweet or something but I've been having a huge amount of problems with X split and I'm not the only one and a lot of them have to do with capture cards and other different types of things that we're trying to use and I'm getting Feedback from these companies that make these devices that it just doesn't work on X split and they're blaming X split and they're refusing to do anything about it, so Like I'm pretty sure the stream deck doesn't work on X split and we've had tons of problems with it, right? Yeah, so the stream deck, but I don't know what just happened. Oh dear. Oh crap. Did you unplug the SDI one? Maybe hold on. Well, we theoretically still have audio so I'm just gonna keep talking so you don't really need to see me anyways so Continuing from there. I wanted to play horizon zero dawn and I couldn't so I started trying to look into OBS and man There's been some leaves and bounds in terms of how good and functional OBS is and it's still in my opinion A very clunky UI. I think they have made a number of objectively terrible design decisions, but Functionality wise it does really well the trans go to stuff. It does it does well with the audio levels the audio stuff on X split is just Why there's just like a volume bar that you can change the level of and like a tiny very hard to see level bounce That's just on the bottom of the volume bar not in its own area very difficult to see is Completely beyond me and OBS has individual levels for all your things that are very easy to see all the time That's wonderful. There's some really clunky things about it, but it Works very well in terms of the back end stuff and we use Epiphan avio capture cards because they're wonderful and they don't like Overheat and do other junky things that a lot of other capture cards that we've used have done but they have compatibility issues with X split and Talking came up over the last little while. Yes used to yeah, it seems to be new and That's very frustrating So yeah moving off of something that is theoretically paid for to something that is free Because the free thing is better is just odd I Hope I hope I split figures in age, but yeah Okay, so this next news item is actually from my email, so hopefully I don't expose anything critical But it doesn't look like it crash plan for home is going away Thank you for using crash plan for home We hope you have enjoyed the secure backup that the free version of crash plan for home has provided as of today We've made the decision to shift our business strategy to focus on the enterprise and small business segments Wow, so this kind of sucks because crash plan was like the go-to for quick painless easy off-site backup of your entire system So in theory and you know there's some port forwarding and whatever else that goes along with it But in theory crash plan was as simple as going okay. Here's all the stuff. I want to back up Here's my buddies crash plan code click and then it would send over an encrypted version of All of that stuff in like an encrypted container file so that in the event that you had some kind of a catastrophic system failure You would be able to at the very least back up all of your all of your precious memories and all that and you You you didn't necessarily even have to trust the person on the other side You just had to have enough of a working relationship with them that you'd be able to get physical access to the data At some point or even back it up all online if you if you didn't have so much that it would take like weeks to download or whatever the case may be so As long as you you didn't even have to trust each other You just had to have like a bilateral agreement that kind of goes hey I'll have some extra storage in my place you have some extra storage at your place. We'll back up to each other boom done And right now. I'm not a hundred percent sure exactly What we're going to? Well, it says it's a small business, so what does that mean? Well, how much does that cost I'm using this personally though and small business is I believe I forget, but it's like a significant Cost per device okay. Yeah, so it and it really is priced like a small business solution Click to get crash plan for small business here we go So let's have a look at what we got here, so I'm in a bit of a better spot Because way back now to be completely honest. I got that Synology NAS. Yeah, and I can Synology to Synology Yes mirror, which is actually quite nice. There's other things you can do too on your own But nothing that's as elegant as this and this was like the cross-platform thing So I could use it on a Windows desktop And I could be backing up to a crash plan Docker container on an unraid server for example So that was super cool, but yeah, no here. We go. It's $10 per device per month Wow for the business one. Yeah, so it's 120 bucks a year and What kind of sucks about this it says you can migrate all your cloud backups something something yeah? I don't think it yeah, it does not support computer to computer backups anymore so That super sucks because that was the whole That was the whole reason why I would use crash plan because it's going from Thing I own to thing that I own or is like a thing my friend owns Instead of relying on you know some corporation somewhere to keep all of this stuff safe Like I like the idea of having everything on my servers and especially not having to pay extra For more cloud storage if I have a bunch of crap I want to back up like if I have a gigabit internet connection at my office. I would love to be able to just Flood it and they're not gonna like So what happens if you've already got this stuff set up because isn't this local software? It is local software It is local software um I Believe though that they can just can it remove Yeah, I believe they can can it because the way that friends are tracked is through Software yeah, so it's not something where you just pointed out an IP, and it just goes okay Yeah, so maybe they maybe they've had this in the plan for a long time maybe maybe the People who are smarter than me are gonna go find some version that you can kind of roll back to where it all works Or something like that. I'm not sure but in the meantime I'm definitely gonna be looking for some other kind of solution, and that's pretty frustrating Scroll all the way down all the way down all the way down all the way to the bottom Almost right there Up a bit half-life three. Oh you gotta be kidding me. No actually not so this was originally posted on the forum by n2a newt and and Let's go ahead and just kind of wow that is so is waiting broken there you go That looks pretty good so half-life 2 episode 3's story released by Mark Laidlaw the leader writer for the half-life series who left valve last year Wow, I have a feeling this could get him in a lot of trouble I Really hope he's sought out legal counsel. Yeah, I hope he's loyered up man Wow that's pretty crazy It's on github, and I believe it's in like quite a few other places as well It's on paste bin because people are worried about it being brought down which is not surprising at all Apparently it wraps up a lot of loose ends. It's essentially half-life 2 episode 3 Yeah, wow apparently the corrected versions where it like fixes the genders and fixes a few words that he like Changed that can't be enough to save him at all But whatever is like a very coherent and plausible plotline So it's from a fictional character named gurty freemont Yeah, but if you change that yeah who recounts her team up with feisty partner Alex Vaughn to find the hyper borea luxury liner which must be Yeah, so Wow so he's like probably gonna get owned I really like So there's no way of knowing whether this was a finalized plotline We have no way of knowing how far into development half-life 2 episode 3 this could be a first draft. Yep But apparently He was the primary architect of half-life's plot and his departure from valve last year was widely seen as acknowledgement that episode 3 was completely dead So maybe if I can speculate wildly without looking into anything that this guy said publicly at all Because you don't have a lot of notes on it. It's just the land show anyway. Yeah, right. Let's just Yeah, yeah percent. So yeah fake news warning Yeah, but I would I would assume that maybe this is like he's the main architect for the plot It said right there. This is probably like his masterpiece Right. So while he might get screwed for this, maybe he just doesn't care. Yeah Because like if you created this and like the whole internet is like we want it so bad Yeah, and it's like the greatest work you've done. I don't know. I don't know what else he's worked on I mean, I can see how someone would feel like that like but half-life is amazing So that would be like an amazing thing to be the greatest thing you've done I mean, I'll tell you something like we've considered just going live with the channel super fun top gun shop for shop volleyball scene recreation and just Taking the copyright strike just so that people can watch it like having it up there for long enough that Some people can watch it before it gets ripped down because like they're not going to lead our channel. No Realistically, we're not a big enough target to get sued into oblivion by what is it Columbia pictures? We do what we just give them all the profits from the video can't remember. No, no, they know more to it than that But like really, I think it's a great thing to do because it's a great thing to do because it's a great thing to do Yeah, there's more to it than that. But like realistically, they're not gonna they're not gonna put a target on their own back By like trying to shut down. I like to think a fairly, you know beloved YouTube Creator company like yeah like the amount of public backlash over suing us into a crater Over us just doing a fan Yeah remake of a scene from one of their movie like come on it seemed it seems very implausible at some people like it At LTX. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like at some point before an actual lawsuit occurs Some human looks at something and makes a decision as to whether or not to proceed with it and it's not Necessarily as simple as the black and white of law. Yeah, it's like is this worth the PR? Is this worth the cost is this worth the effort? Yeah, like that but like what you just said just to dive further into this topic that I know nothing about Yeah Could be a reason why valve might not go for this guy Valve is the like dream child of all the PC gamers but remember to and okay less so these days for one thing and If you don't protect your IP Then you will be seen as soft and you could open yourself up to this kind of leak all the time Yeah, and all of a sudden valve who might not have a ton of employees But in terms of revenues mass and profits is a gigantic company. I Know I think I think they actually have no choice But to go after him as hardcore as they can Like if honestly that sucks if I was them I would do it Just because you can't set a precedent like that and you can't have someone you can't make it okay for that to happen Because someone might actually come out with a game with Gertie Fremont and Alex Vaughn Yep, that is like the exact thing like here and call it like quarter lifespan Three let's draw a parallel right? So let's say that Let's say that you Decided to quit or something like that you don't Yeah, I know you're like half half way out the door already, but the point is let's say you decide Yeah, like what like three months or something? Yeah, let's say you decided to quit and as the last thing that you did you went around the office and you grabbed your scrapyard wars PC yeah, and Let's just let's just try and think of like Let's just let's just try and think of like some you know what there. That's that's a I was gonna say the bomb But that's the bomb's kind of yours already anyway like I think the Plasti dip on it is mine Yeah, it's not even plastic. Yeah, but the paint belongs to me and all the plastic you can take the whole middle section Yeah, the whole middle section. Yeah, yeah, but but let's say the scrapyard wars PC. We're indisputably Linus Media Group paid for oh Yeah, no, that's yeah, and it was created on work time Which your employee agreement states that the things you create are the intellectual property of this company I know that's that's works, which I'm sure he has a very similar agreement in place certain So let's say that you took off with it, and you were like I'm not giving this back I would have no choice even though I don't actually care and as far as I'm concerned you can have it because that would be I didn't give you permission. Yeah, you just took it that then be used Against you if someone else does it possibly yes, because you set a precedent that this is okay Yes, and that could be seen as like a benefit of working here or something or something either way I'm creating the potential for this to come back and become a problem and honestly in this case the stakes are even so much lower Than someone you know leaking the plot of an oh yeah. Oh, yeah, definitely That's that's taking some property and like displaying it in my house probably yeah The other thing would be taking property and giving it to everyone that's right That would be like taking a video that we never released that I made yeah, and giving it to everyone on my own channels later Yeah Where even if you had no intention of profiting from it? This is something that a lot of people don't necessarily understand is the definition of profit does not Necessarily come down to the money that Luke makes like let's say that Luke took it and did a stream on his twitch channel Where he specifically took the NDA expired? So is the argument here that the statute of limitations is up Because it's been a year or something like that well his NDA yeah his NDA from working there is apparent So there's a difference between that's very yeah, and NDA and intellectual property yeah, and stealing it and disclosing something That's under if he was like yeah, if he was like I had a fully written script for Half-life 2 episode 3 That would be a perfect example of something that would be NDA but not intellectual property So anyway, so back to literally the script back to the example Let's say Luke decided that for that stream all the money that came in was gonna go to a charity Or he was gonna turn off monetization for the video where he displayed that video yeah He still profits in the sense that if Even if I can prove that even a single person went and watched that stream who wouldn't have otherwise he profited off of The thing that didn't belong to him that he stole from Linus Media Group in the sense that he gained notoriety You were saying get John. I didn't yeah, we could go get John actually He's he's upstairs. We can you know what why don't we come back to this topic a little bit a little bit later in the stream? I want to say two things before we get John here So that like everyone remembers we can bring this up one some people are comparing this to h3h3 That's not at all no it's not content that was released by someone else that was used in minor form for parody completely drastically different situation Yeah, and another one this would be sort of comparable to someone with a Comparable to someone working at like Dreamworks And they make a bunch of like internal animations and different shorts I was different kind of stuff that they don't get to completion and then they quit and then a year later They just release all these publicly yeah, that's We'll get John here, but I'm like pretty done. I feel pretty good about the position that I've taken on it But hey he could always come in and tell me I'm wrong in the meantime Why don't we do it's also America so the laws are like slightly different? What do we got for how wow you know what's funny is we actually thought we didn't have a lot of topics this week But we've got a fair bit that we still have a fair bit to talk about so let's uh let's get through this What are you a wait what?

Beef jerky roulette All right, this was originally posted over on Ars Technica And Intel's not really hiding it But they recently launched eighth generation mobile chips And the um the assumption I think from a lot of people even fairly tech savvy I assumed this the assumption was that an eighth generation mobile chip would be Coffee Lake, which is their upcoming architecture Nope, these quad core Dang it These quad core U class mobile chips Which by the by the way is pretty freaking sick So base clocks of anywhere from 1.6 to 1.9 gigahertz And boost clocks of 3.4 to 3.9 gigahertz at four cores With And these are all 15 watt parts are pretty darn impressive And are gonna enable a completely new class of mobile device Like I'm really looking forward to see if LG does a 2018 gram With these processors Or something like it because a quad core is really the only thing I'm missing You've already got an NVMe SSD You've already got 16 gigs plus of RAM So the one thing missing is more multithreading performance and They're even hyper threaded so we're talking four cores eight threads These things look sick Unfortunately, this is not nearly the shift that we were possibly Expecting they are built on a somewhat refined version of Intel's 14 nanometer manufacturing process And even though they're calling them eighth gen They are actually much more similar to the previous model They are actually much more similar both CPU and GPU to the seventh generation Kaby Lake So they're calling these Kaby Lake refresh Which if my experience is anything to go on basically means Kaby Lake And it's frustrating because the whole idea Probably Kaby Lake with like a better understanding of their binning Yeah the whole idea and Intel is iterating all the time So it's Kaby Lake refresh But they're probably already using all the things they learned in other Kaby Lake chips as it is Because they are making changes over time Sorry John we're almost ready for you Sorry But it's frustrating because the whole idea behind this gen thing is you're supposed to be able to understand What generation the freaking thing is architecturally And now we've got seventh generation processors on the HEDT side that are Sky Lake based We've got seventh generation processors on the mainstream side that are Kaby Lake based And then we've got eighth generation processors that are Kaby Lake based Is nothing sacred? No So yeah Oh but to be clear the HEDT ones I'm talking about are like the 7900X So that because it has a seven it's seventh gen But it is actually a sixth generation Sky Lake architecture So now there's going to have to be like the Intel version And there's going to have to be like the enthusiast who has who's keeping track of this on their own version Of what gen everything is Alright so let's let Let's let John jump in and talk about this whole Half Life 3 thing I'll give you my spot Here we go So Half Life 3 How does this work? Because we think Linus and I are both in agreement right now That some people in the chat are saying like oh his NDA lifted But we don't think this is an NDA thing In our opinion it would be covered under NDA if he was just like I had completed a script for Half Life 2 episode 3 And that's all he says That seems like an NDA style thing Him actually releasing all the content does not seem like an NDA protected action I mean NDAs can be written pretty broadly though yeah You can write an NDA So what right but what we're saying is like People are saying that the NDA has lifted because he hasn't worked there for a year So he's released this content Not being a employee of Valve anymore And people are saying that he's fine because the NDA lifted Does that make any sense? It does Sorry if I seem a little bit confused You seem very confused Well no it's more that I can't really think of a reason why that wouldn't make sense honestly Okay so if I work at LinusSecTips And we make a series of videos called Scrapyard Wars And we make Scrapyard Wars episode 7 And Ed finishes editing them But then Linus hates me so fires me And doesn't want to release the episodes anymore because he wants nothing to do with me And I have all the copies of the episodes and I release them somewhere else Because my NDA expired how does that make any sense? Well you're covering different things with an NDA Versus just a separate agreement saying that you don't own copyright in it But this is content Like did you actually see the post? I read the bullet points below it Yeah no this is what he released Which is like the script So he changed the, well it's a letter from one character to another And the names and places have been changed But it's extremely obvious But like Gordon Freeman is what? Gerta something? Gertie Fremont Or Fremont or something So wouldn't a storyline be considered IP? And wouldn't that be covered separately from an NDA? You could cover it under both I don't see a reason you couldn't do that So do you think it's possible that he's off the hook here? Is he in trouble with Valve? No one knows We're trying to figure out if he's in trouble with Valve I feel like Valve wouldn't construct their NDA in a way that makes it so you can just release whatever you worked on after you leave for a year I don't know why anyone would ever do that That makes no sense It could be, but like I was saying, it could be covered under something else that isn't an NDA So even if they structure something that says Right, but we're talking about if it's not covered, not if it is covered Okay, so you're asking me if this isn't covered by an NDA Yeah, I'm not asking you if it's covered by other things Because we don't know We don't know There's no information about that at all We're speculating what the likelihood is that he's okay here Based on what? Based on... Because you're asking That he revealed the plot line of something that he was working on at Valve And is therefore the intellectual property of Valve after leaving I mean, I have no way to say It completely depends on how much Valve values this information And who knows if they do or not Were they actually planning to release a sequel or not Interesting, okay I had thought it would be a little more open and shut than that Well, we're making some assumptions We're making assumptions that Valve is going to aggressively protect its intellectual property Regardless of whether it mattered or not Because that's kind of a bad precedent If they just let people walk away with this stuff Well, I mean, you're right in that it probably would be considered IP You are probably right about that But at the same time, if you're going to sit here and ask How much trouble is he possibly in It really depends on what Valve wants to do Alright, thank you So it sounds like we weren't that far off We were just making kind of a different set of assumptions about how we think Valve would behave That may or may not be right So we're just going to have to wait and see how this one shakes out according to... Apparently he has released a tweet I don't know where it went I lost the click Sure, why don't you have a look while I jump in and talk about the Vega shortage Okay So this was originally posted over on videocards.com And actually there's a post by coaxialgamer over on the forum And the original article there is from pcgamesn.com But apparently the Vega shortage could last until October In spite of AMD's efforts to keep RX Vega prices low So this is from videocards According to well informed sources of DigiTimes You should not expect to find RX Vega in stores At least at a normal price, until October While AMD promised to prepare a high volume of RX Vega graphics cards for launch The reality was that many countries apparently did not receive a single unit of the new flagship card The problem allegedly lies in the complexity of the Vega chips Other sources claim that this issue may lie in advanced semiconductor engineering packaging technology If I had to guess, and this would be pure speculation I would say it probably has a lot to do with HBM2 And maybe not necessarily even the amount of HBM2 that AMD can buy But possibly as much as that to do with AMD simply not wanting to buy that much HBM2 right now Because right now they're one of the only ones using it So if they put in a massive order, they would themselves inherently spike the pricing Of something that is a very limited commodity And that just, I mean anyone can look at this on DRAM exchange Something that went up drastically in price in the couple of weeks before RX Vega's official launch So if I was AMD, I would be probably trying to ride it out until another competitor starts building HBM2 Which is supposedly going to happen fairly soon And I would be, yeah, like I wouldn't be going out of my way to produce a bunch of cards that I'm maybe not even making money on I'm just, I'm speculating though Yeah, that's fair One thing I want to add, I found the tweet He tweeted saying, my website's down for now, I guess a fanfic is popular, even a gender-swapped snapshot of a dream I had many years ago So is that him backpedaling on how overt he wants to be about this? Did he forward pedal at all or did the internet just freak out? Maybe I don't know Yeah, could be a case of that I kind of think it's probably fairly not a big deal And I'm going to make another wild assumption based on no information because fake news is really fun Ranshow, man But my idea here is that it's on his own website His pinned tweet is him trying to sell books that he's written He's trying to sell books that he's written An easy way to get a whole bunch of traffic to his website, which did happen And to get more interest around him and his books is right fanfic on the thing that he wrote So if it legitimately had nothing to do with any kind of planet valve Then I think it's fine Because I believe fanfic is like okay I think you're allowed to do that And letting the internet go full conspiracy theory is a great marketing tactic I don't know how long it took until he clarified it Right I like your new theory I like that one the most Okay, in other news This was from PCGamesN.com AMD says they're trying to keep prices of RX Vega low though So after the prices inflated after launch AMD now says it's trying its best to get those prices to where we suggested when we launched them So AMD's Gerald Youngblood says our SEP, so that's suggested prices And the price tag that we announced is our full intention of where we would suggest the product be priced Not just for launch but ongoing They said the price surge due to overwhelming demand and that the filling of retailers inventory is key To getting the prices of Vega down to their original pre-launch levels Yeah, that makes sense But again, so we're looking at AMD having to put pressure on retailers Which a lot of the time manifests as like a rebate or something And you know that whole thing broke a little while ago We expressed our frustration with it Again, this is more evidence for AMD not really having much motivation to provide as much Vega as they possibly can right now Because here's what you guys need to understand AMD does not profit from the mining craze and from the prices being jacked up $200 on the shelf The retailer and or the opportunistic reseller who runs out to a store whenever they find it at regular price and then flips it on eBay They profit AMD doesn't want that because they're effectively creating a bunch of hate in their community and a bunch of anger And they don't even get to make more money out of it So you shouldn't really think about this emotionally You have to think about it rationally It's not in AMD's best interest unless they're actually raising the price of the product Which is going to piss everyone off To have the street price be high So you know, I've talked to them I can't share everything that was shared with me But I'll say benefit of the doubt I still and you can go back and watch last week's WAN show if you want to know what I'm upset about I'm still upset about pretty much all of it AMD could have done a way better job of communicating the way that they were handling this launch pricing Because if they had told me that it was going to be through rebates I would have known that the entire thing was going to be a cluster And this is okay. So this is a situation where like I've never been on the other end So I don't know there's unknown variables here, but sometimes The communication stuff that happens directed towards us from a wide variety of companies I'm not even going to narrow down to AMD right now Is just very not good And it doesn't seem that hard Well, it seems hard when you make things hard on yourself So a lot of the miscommunication around Vega had to do with that They originally were going to just lift the embargo on Vega 64, the flagship card And then at the last second decided to lift the embargo on Vega 56 So don't do that Right, but think about it this way It's not the people who are actually in the trenches with Nvidia card in their right hand And upcoming AMD card in their left hand Testing them against each other Who like actually know how this whole thing is going to shake down and how the press is going to react to it It's not those people making the decision unfortunately It's probably some executive making the decision And then ultimately, and I told you so moment that takes place Once the hardware is already in the hands of the reviewers And they get some initial feedback that hey this isn't going to be a super positive review Because hey Vega 64 is not crazy competitive Like it's not a game changer guys So some executive who's in La La Land Probably got that feedback and was like okay fine let's do it your way Let's launch the one that actually makes sense, Vega 56 at the same time So we don't end up with a bunch of negative press to lose our momentum That's probably how it went down and I'm speculating I told you guys I had a call with AMD That was definitely not confirmed or talked about But that's what I would guess went on And that's how these things keep happening because it was the same bloody thing with Ryzen 7 Originally they were going to roll out the SKUs two weeks apart And then the last second they're like oh no we're lifting the embargo on all of them And only a handful of press actually got them all Because they shouldn't get them to us in time Someone in the chat was like okay I don't know where the message is So I'm going to verbatim this and I'm going to get a little bit of it wrong, sorry But someone in the chat said something along the lines of Yeah but you were just blinded by wanting the profits of releasing the video on launch day I don't think that's valid personally I wasn't a part of the video creation process for that But from my view I don't think it's being blinded When to be able to see that you would have had to make extremely wild drastic assumptions That wouldn't have made any sense in the moment That would have been a very weird thing to assume Here's the thing is I think people underestimate how much profit there is In having a video up a day or two earlier for us The main issue from what I heard And again the reason why I keep on putting this in is because I'm actually outside of the circle But the main issue that I heard was that we had a completed video That would have been a problem if we released Because now there was new information So we were correcting a problem We were completely done our Vega 64 launch video with the air cooled and the liquid cooled card Someone says LTT is totally sellout We do sponsor spots, we do ads, we work with companies But we are very transparent when we do so And that has not wanting to repeat work that you've done Because someone else made a terrible last minute decision that screws you over I think it's a perfectly reasonable stance And as for getting content out on launch day Honestly we don't make a bunch more money for doing that A YouTube view is not worth nearly as much as you might think in terms of monetary value So yeah we'll get a few more views But for me it's more about making sure that we are perceived as a place that you go When you go and get like graphics card news about a new card that launches And if you know let's say we weren't able to bring people in on the weekend If our video goes up and it's just Vega 64 And everyone else's video or written review goes up and it's Vega 56 and Vega 64 It makes us look stupid And we don't want that and we shouldn't have to work through the weekend in order to do that Companies should be respectful of our time and our schedules And the fact that we have lives and kids and other things we have to deal with That's the issue What about likes, are they worth more profit? No, likes are worth nothing, exactly zero Some guy said Luke likes negative comments They can be helpful Because if someone's thinking those things genuinely it's good to address it and help them understand that they're wrong Absolutely Okay this was posted originally on the forum by James had like an hour to throw together the doc today so I don't blame him for it not being there NumLock21 And the original article here is from Tom's Hardware AMD has gone into a little bit more detail about their Epic and Threadripper chip designs Claiming a 41% cost reduction Which would actually account for the difference in price between AMD's 16 core chip and Intel's Yeah Which is pretty cool So they decided to go with like this modular design versus a monolithic design Because even though the modular design because of the interconnects is 10% higher in cost So 10% more die space Apparently it saves so many failures Allowing them to It saves so many failures that they can just take higher yield ones and quote unquote glue them together That they actually reduce their cost by the estimate 41% That's pretty freaking cool That is actually very cool and that's very good for them specifically Yeah To be honest And good for the consumer Because they need to be making money so that they can actually keep doing things They like super do Amazon has made its first big move with Whole Foods The original article here is from Bloomberg Wow Amazon Prime members get discounts at Whole Foods So you can pay just a less inflated price for groceries and paper bags instead of plastic bags Because you're a giant hipster Not that I'm judging I've shopped at Whole Foods They also plan to make Prime the customer rewards program at Whole Foods And products from Whole Foods private label 365 will be available on Amazon They have not yet indicated a time frame for all these changes I technically have never shopped there But I've shopped at the like The like Langley alternative Oh okay yeah It's so funny It smells like health food The structure of it is very much like a chain clothing store Like a Hollister I think is the one that always smells like cedar wood Is it Hollister? I don't know clothing stores But you know how you walk into them I don't remember last time I was in a mall And they like feel really unique And then you go to another one of the same store somewhere else And it's exactly the same flavor of totally unique Where it's this very contrived You know we do this totally differently than everybody else So yeah I shopped at Whole Foods I think I've been there twice Once because it was the only thing within walking distance of my hotel And another time because I really needed an ice cream bar And I bought the only like with fat, with dairy, with gluten ice cream bar That was there Actually no I think it was gluten free By the way if you're in Vancouver I believe this weekend Or maybe only for one specific day but look it up Uber is like coming here now to Vancouver Finally And I believe they're showing up by doing free ice cream bar deliveries Oh sick But I think it's only in Vancouver Sick I don't think they're doing Uber all the way out here If they are doing Uber all the way out here I am getting my free ice cream bar Actually even if not I might just like go down there to get a free ice cream bar Because I'm going down there on Saturday anyways What else do we have? This is from Bloomberg Apple reported to unveil a new Apple TV that will be faster 4K HDR video blibbidi bloppidi Pixel 2 is coming October 5th Rumor rumor rumor Originally posted by TechCrunch And yep it looks like a phone It looks like a phone It looks like a pixel It has a thing here that's kind of pixely Yep the bezels are smaller a lot smaller Yep Way smaller Snapdragon 836 It could have front facing speakers I love that note That's my favorite note from today Apparently a 2 to 1 aspect ratio Okay I know that mathematically there's no reason to call 16 by 10 You could just as easily call it 8 by 5 But for the sake of making life a little easier I kind of wish everyone would go by 9 Since we all know what 16 by 9 is But what is a 2 to 1 aspect ratio so that would be 18 by 9 I guess Yeah 18 by 9 But the fact that I have to convert it all the time is going to drive me crazy To be fair this probably affects almost no one but you So there's some rumored specs But I do understand where you're coming from 4.97 inch 1080p display for the smaller one with a 6 inch on the larger XL Apparently it will be provided by LG It will support 4 gigs of ram on board internal storage might get boosted to 64 gigs And it's probably got a great camera It might there's a lot of like it could it might It might drop the headphone port It might have front facing speakers It might have squeezable sides It might have bluetooth It might be able to connect to the internet Okay We don't know Either going with the world's first modern smartphone without the internet Wi-Fi hotspot only I think we're probably done with this week And thank you for watching the WAM show We will see you again next week same bad time same bad channel Oh SpaceX photos of the new space suit are actually super cool Have you seen these? Fine you can do that I know I'm a fanboy but like they're pretty neat Alright fine we'll look at the new space suit Wait these aren't the ones that I saw These aren't as cool They're still pretty cool Those don't look that amazing No where's the cool ones? Those are just space suits Where's the cool ones? Yeah I think you're just I think you're done I think that's the wrong article That is the wrong article Okay here's the right article Dang it James for throwing this together in an hour and screwing up one thing so far It also doesn't have the other photo Whatever let's talk about float plane stuff Yeah float plane not dead Not dead Definitely not dead Doing great actually had a meeting today People were cool Thanks for showing up guys that work on float plane Outdoor gaming the ultimate camping battle station I think we need a new thumbnail for this one that makes it more clear that we are in the middle of a forest Gaming on like a freaking awesome gaming PC Let's see mezzanine update I forgot to upload that I did it the last minute there This is a really cool video I think a lot of you will like it We designed the ultimate gaming TV have you seen this? No So Alex and I worked on this together and we basically conceptualized what a perfect TV for gamers would be And this is just a couple of we probably got somewhere between 6 and 10 features That TV makers for whatever reason have their heads too far up their rectums I think I heard about one of the features One of them was an integrated what's that stupid thing called that you have that analog to digital converter Whoa What's that thing called again? Framemeister The Framemeister Is it actually a Framemeister? So think about it think about this it doesn't have to be No As long as it was something quite similar so the Framemeister actually here Nope okay we got to the topic The Framemeister is probably like a little too overkill for most people So it costs about $400 for a Framemeister which is this external box that takes your analog source Like a Super Nintendo or Playstation 1 and converts it to HDMI with next to no latency Because as you may or may not have noticed your TV if it takes in an analog source does a couple of things Number one is even compared to its normal input lag it adds even more lag Oh yeah And number two is it does a crap-tastic job of the conversion it'll look like garbage So the Framemeister does a great job of both of those things At $400 It's a lot It's a lot but when you look at a premium TV you look at the bomb cost of a premium TV We're talking like five six seven thousand US dollars is it unreasonable to think a couple of things Number one that by cheaping out on some stuff we don't care about like how thin it is That they could find some of that cost to spend on good analog to digital conversion And number two that they could achieve economies of scale that would make a Framemeister cost a lot less It's not expensive hardware Because there really aren't that many Framemeisters That's one of the reasons why they're so expensive Exactly So anyway that was one of the ideas So retro gamers could game on their new TV and have a not crap experience So we've got a bunch of other ideas a modular system for the speakers Yeah that's the one thing I had heard about So you can take them off they just clip on and they have like just contacts that go Or you could take them off reposition them run speaker wire and then you could add like the rest of a kit or something like that Display port in was one of the things we asked for So there's a bunch of stuff a lot of which would be very low cost to implement A return to front I.O. Right Yeah Come on bring back Front I.O. is nice I don't mind a little chin bar you know give me and so front USB charging ports for controllers For like VR accessories things like that So there's just a bunch of stuff we came up with we designed what we think is a gaming TV And we would love for the TV industry to you know maybe wake the crap up We took a look at the first all AMD gaming PC from Dell It's like taped onto the side Well yeah but there's an actual chip inside too That was for illustrative purposes Luke That's awesome How many PCIe extensions is too many And the answer is a lot Was it still working then You bet Oh my god That's crazy Organization vlog day one wow we've actually got a lot of good stuff on here right now Cool the last last week I think it was I wasn't that enamored with a lot of it Organization vlog day one so this is basically a return to moving vlog This was What I watched the trailer for this Yeah there's a trailer Have you not seen the trailer We should play the trailer Oh my goodness okay give me one second I will get the trailer Is it on Facebook or something Nick send it to me What okay yeah forward it to me in the meantime What else have we got I think there's at least one other like pretty pretty cool one Let me just make sure that there's anything There was another one that I thought people were gonna like I don't know if we're allowed to share this Allowed to share the trailer I guess you own the company so Yeah okay yeah sure let's let's share it Sick Let's just let's just straight up YOLO it Okay hangouts with me Cool Okay so I'm gonna go Hide the URL Yeah I'm doing it I'm doing it I'm going full screen so I don't screw myself again Okay and oh man I don't know if I don't know if I've got sound over HDMI right now I don't know if you guys are gonna hear any of this So I apologize in advance if everything is The audio is super helpful Is it okay I'm just gonna turn up the speakers we're going the janky way Yeah Janky way Alright alright here we go Because this is great Okay here we go On the screen let's get rid of us we're boring Yep I mean we're cool but we're not as cool as this apparently Why are there nurse lights up here Oh what was that a 1070 Might have been a 1070 As long as Linus doesn't find out everything will be okay People get this perception that I'm like some kind of like Nazi mean boss Watch now on floatplane So yeah that's actually super sick Who did that That was A prime Oh cool As far as I know That is a dank AF edit So if you want to see what that trailer results in That's on floatplane right now go check it out Yeah and there's gonna be three episodes of new moving vlog So organization vlog over the next few weeks And now is as good a time as any to sign up for floatplane Because don't forget guys that Scrapyard Wars season 6 Will also be coming one week early to floatplane So it's gonna be good Alright see you guys again next week same bad time Same bad channel Thank you for watching We'll see you next time I'm gonna fix this thing before I get confused next week There we go Cool What was that day Can you scroll back up Oh god Oh that's no I understand the question Wants to know if I don't know when that's happening Yeah I don't know either That's a good question Someone wanted who is this Boogerbomb01 wanted to know if all the construction mezzanine update videos That were exclusive will still be on the platform Once we finally accept payment methods other than PayPal Tell you what I will Oh the mezzanine ones Yeah I'll find a way to get them up Yeah Okay there
