 Ah Yeah, we're back Welcome to the WAN show guys. We are gonna have a great show for you guys this week actually This week was like drama central very much. So yeah like oh Man everybody yeah, there's like okay, okay, so top top topics. This is amazing California high school makes 24 million dollars off the snapchat I feel Like what What? Ridiculous. Like how is that even? Apparently they invested I guess no we're not talking about this right now moving on Yeah, so uber plans to turn its app into a Content marketplace during rides totally needed that and any other opinion is just invalid AMD responds to weak 1080p gaming results on Ryzen and Intel responds to strong gaming results at other resolutions on Ryzen by Slashing the pricing of their core i7 and core i5 processors by a lot. It just got real kids Yeah, let's roll the intro Someone complain About the fact that we talked over the music in the intro and said it was like really unprofessional I always liked that in show cares in any show where they like talk over those like hey cool Not even that I don't even think it's cool. I just think it's completely irrelevant, right? Who cares? Yeah Yeah, we're talking We're here. I mean they're like, yeah, they forget to turn off there We didn't forget to turn it off and do it we specifically turn it on. No, I turn it on Like okay before we had a USB audio interface I would specifically have the HDMI in because we were using camera audio in yeah And I would specifically have that HDMI source sitting under the intro So that if we're chatting behind it you guys can definitely hear it. Yeah I'm gonna live. That's right coming at you live not pre-recorded. Yeah, or is it oh Don't don't uh would it really matter? Okay, so let's get into this one first of all the original article here is from cbc.ca I got it. Oh, I'm sorry. We both got it. You know what like everybody's got it look at it Everybody's got it. No, we both got it look at that look at how we can both share our screens now but a California high school makes 24 Million dollars in the snapchat ipo now, so hold on can I can I jump in with a question first? Yeah? 100% why are schools? Allowed to invest money I can answer that okay good a private school I See this is a private Catholic high school in California, Silicon Valley They agreed to invest fifteen thousand dollars in seed money into snapchat in 2012 that happened because one of the students parents is a VC venture capitalist So it was like able to push this through they bought that fifteen thousand dollars worth of shares which totals six hundred thousand shares They sold one point four oh, oh no they okay they had two million shares They sold one point four million shares at seventeen dollars during snapchats ipo this week Generating about twenty four million dollars, but they still have six hundred thousand shares, which is still worth like seventeen million dollars holy crap Investment man yeah investment. How is it that technology companies don't do much but gamble Make millions of dollars. I mean how are how are these companies worth this kind of money snapchat? So okay, so this was the biggest social media ipo since Twitter more than three years ago shares closed at twenty four Forty eight a piece so twenty four dollars forty eight cents a piece which means snapchat is now valued at twenty eight billion dollars now just I Twenty eight billion dollars an astronomical their net loss is still higher than their revenue How do we assign Value to these companies it just keeps happening investors Don't have a clear picture of how the company plans to become profitable. I mean to me how do you even figure that out? Like we are this far in the hole to be like a seventy five percent gain over loss company at twenty eight billion dollars What do we need to do? Where are we gonna pull twenty eight billion dollars out of our rectums? And I bet you someone could snapchat you and show you how oh, I wouldn't want to see that snap I mean, I'm like I'm down, but no I'm not down And he's gone You know I had to go after you when you're gonna take a big drink of water like that Oh my god, I almost lost it Okay, I mean all I all I had to do to make you spit it all over the screen was say send that snap Luke take a deep breath Terrible So User growth slowed in the fourth quarter And there's skepticism as to how big the company's advertising business I mean I mean the whole the whole model of like a lot of users look at our junk Okay, that came across wrong. I mean Okay, it's the Okay, so a lot of users look at our junk online. Yeah Therefore you should put ads on our junk and users would see those ads This is working really well and users will see those ads And they will maybe buy your product or sign up for your service I mean, we're gonna get to the point where the valuation and expected revenue of the companies who entire whose entire business model is like other companies Selling stuff through them the value of these companies is gonna be bigger than the ones who are actually producing products or making services Right I'm not making fun look Okay, yes We but we're okay. We don't expect that our market cap is higher than Intel's though. That's the difference Yeah, that's fair. Yeah. Yeah, we are not evaluated at 28 billion And here's the thing too I think if we're looking at a company like Snapchat going like yes, there's huge advertising potential here like that Advertising money has to come from somewhere, and I think there's still a lot of room for traditional media to bleed I mean TV advertising Really doesn't make a ton of sense to me. I mean you can look at big shows like big shows like big shows like Adventure time or you know the big bang theory Game of Thrones well that's a bad example. It's HBO. So so I'm talking ad-supported shows, okay? You look at these big shows, and you kind of go okay, so they had Like like okay, what are self parks ratings over the last year self park ratings? You know maybe they had five million or ten million people who tuned who tuned into the premiere Let's have it. Let's have a look South Park. No. No where's the where's the episodes come on come on come on come on come on come on Come on come on Episodes here we go list of episodes there we go Okay, so show like South Park recent season wow you got to scroll through a lot of seasons for this particular show Okay here we go we got an estimated 1.3 to 2 million and change US viewers of a season premiere, and I look at the prices That is not you pay For well it's fallen a lot you look at the prices that you pay for cable advertising And we look at sort of the rates that we're allowed to charge that that we can get sponsors to pay for inclusion in our videos And I'm sitting here going like our video could actually get more viewership on the ad especially given that like No, not really given anything I mean, I'm saying given that it's shorter so given that people don't won't really tune in and out of it in the same way But people do skip around in YouTube videos, so I took it back before I said it But then I said it, but then I explained why I took it back before I said it absolutely fair I explained the whole thing so but my point is that there's still room for companies to clue in That just that that standard quarterly spend you'd be surprised No, no, I'm what I mean is that they're still there is no I'm agreeing with them Yeah, surprise There's still a lot of room for them to clue in that a viewer on YouTube is also a viewer The same way as a viewer on Comedy Central or NBC or whatever the case may be But with that said I do think that It is hard for someone like snapchat I think that Facebook has actually set kind of an unrealistic bar for other online advertising platforms both Facebook and Google where Everyone looked at the Facebook IPO with a lot of skepticism figured they were overvalued ha they've gone up in value because they've been really smart about it and Facebook because it knows so much about you advertises to you so well Snapchat I'm not convinced that the way people use snapchat and the demographic that uses snapchat is going to be as easily influenced by an online ad as the demographic that uses Facebook and The user habits of a typical Facebook user would you agree with that? Yes? I mean if I it's like it's like putting advertising in whatsapp even Facebook hasn't bothered to try to do that Because I'm here to communicate with people you put an ad in it I will go use a different messaging app and it will like always be another one and there will all there There will always be another one because there will it's like a gold rush, right? Yeah, so there will always be a bunch of teams of developers with these incredible resumes of all the umpteen billion dollar companies that they came from cashed out and decided to start their own to turn their umpteen billions into umpteen billions cubed or whatever Whatever whatever target it is however many more Tesla's they need or Prius's I mean it's San Fran So that's basically the only two options One interesting tidbit yes where we continue a lot of people in the chat thought we missed the outro and The word I think the word restart has been like banned now Thank you ghost because everyone was just spamming or the intro sorry they're just spamming the crap out of it I think it's just because we were mostly on time So so people like didn't see it. Oh, yeah, we started like 15 minutes ago, so there's that So we definitely did the intro yeah intro has definitely been completed There is no restarting that's gonna happen I believe there was audio too And if you start spamming restart in chat like a whole bunch you just did it's just gonna be Because the the LTT chatbot is Merciless okay, so here's my final point on the snapchat ipo. I think that Facebook set unrealistic expectations for For a social media platform going public and then when everyone was skeptical they went ahead and they exceeded even the most Bullish expectations and so now I think it has set the stage for these other companies to be To be valued and in a in a different way like people are invested in Facebook for the long term now Instead of just like you know jumping on the bandwagon making a Quick buck in getting tfo. I don't know that snapchat will enjoy that kind of long-term success because If they ever want to actually be profitable They do have to figure out how to compete with someone like Facebook and Google and i'm really not that convinced. Yeah Like ever speaking of things that i'm not convinced about let's pull up this article from tech crunch That is a very interesting article from tech crunch that um Really doesn't make a ton of sense to me, but maybe uh did you post it in chat already nope got that's fine Well, no, it's fine. I can well you can do it someone can do it someone will do it here. We can watch luke do it now We're watching you do it on the internet And And terrible terrible, I love how you're like my girlfriend would be pissed off You just have no problem with it, right? Do I interpret this correctly? You're my boss, man Wait, so that makes it better or worse just doing my job We have all kinds of jobs around here Dirty jobs dunder cheap even um, okay So uber plans to turn its app into a content Marketplace And then they they actually kind of had my attention Until the last part of the headline Where it goes during rides? So a series of third-party apps would provide you with information about the area you are going to work in productivity integrations communications with the place you are going to specifically or just standard entertainment because People can't multitask and go to google I guess and they want to charge you for that. I think Uh The marketplace will be based on a new version of trip Experiences a smaller feature first launched a year ago with a select group of partners Okay, so I see I see some I see some potential here so if it's free if the idea is that the the You get in your uber or like okay, so I don't it's free sure Yeah, I don't look at the uber app again after I call the uber. I do sometimes you do. Okay Make sure the driver's staying on course. Okay. Okay. I've gotten screwed before and Uber is really good about like if you can prove that you got screwed on your driving path. They'll give you money back Cool. Okay. So if the idea then is here's a cool restaurant and they expect the restaurant to give them a cut of Whatever it is or here's a tourist destination or here's a tour that you can take or whatever the case may be Then I kind of get it if they're gonna try and like sell me a movie to watch then I think that's gonna be That's gonna be less less successful Um Yeah, okay, I guess that's pretty much all I have to say about that Some of this stuff sounds really stupid like they're pushing contextual engagement that might for example enable a snapchat user to unlock special stickers or filters Okay, this next one's kind of cool though it could showcase instagram pictures of the destination you're headed to Yeah, but you could search on instagram you could but having it all in one place is like an automatic people don't like to actually do things It's gonna be like the airport like Like it's uber you're not traveling across the country. Yeah, that's true I mean maybe part of this is that the way that people like you and me use uber Might be a little different than the way that some people use uber because like my understanding and guys Correct me if i'm wrong. Should we ask people how they use uber? Yeah, i'm looking at looking at twitch chat because I don't know how I would come up with all these options I'm so i'm looking at twitch chat for a change But the way that I use uber as someone who owns a car is I use it when i'm traveling And I use it to get from a hotel to a place Okay, but if you don't own a car and you're using it to commute or something like that then you're less interested in your destination Right We are like the most interested in our destination using uber We're interested in our destination use case that there is And even then like you would have looked at pictures of it before you hold on the answers are rolling in I use her I use uber for sex lift is better Don't use uber just do not use it, please Uh, all of us are poor. We use shoe bar schuber. I think that's a joke. I use uber to buy to buy in narcotics I use uber when i'm drunk. Yeah, there's a lot of I use uber when i'm drunk So what they're trying to do Is have in-app purchases So people intoxicated, okay spend more money. You know what uber's on the right path here Yeah, they know they totally know what's going on. I clearly I have a much clearer understanding of what they're what they're trying to do What more social media companies need to do in order to make money snapchat pro tip if your user is drunk Allow them to buy things facebook. I mean facebook has some wicked crazy facial recognition Facebook if you guys don't already Get working on drunk recognition because as soon as your user uploads a selfie where they're just wasted af Sell them something you can you can pay like a lot of money to send a priority message To someone that you used to be in a relationship status with Wow You just blew my mind It sends a facebook message and a text message and it starts a call all at the same time. Yeah Yeah, oh wow, I love it get back together it should cost six dollars and nine cents Wait six dollars and 90 cents. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I love it. Okay um The twitch chat wow actually that's a pretty good idea Hey That happens on the wanshow once in a while. Okay, 10 remember. Yeah, that's right Okay, amd responds this was originally posted by 3d Osh on the forum the original article here is from pc per yeah, and amd responds to 1080 1080p gaming tests on ryzen Ryan shrouds my bud so i'm just gonna read his article to you guys word for word We linked to it and hopefully he won't get too mad at me because this is it's basically plagiarism if I read his article Is it not? But you're quoting it, but i'm not giving him ad impressions by actually sending people to his site Okay, so tell you what everybody but i've had people who host sites that we've given Shout outs like contact me directly and be like hey, thanks really because it's shroud would never thank me for anything No, no, I hate that guy Anyway So pc perk great site go visit it whatever luke posted in the chat anyway the point is Um by far one of the most interesting and concerning points about today's launch of the amd ryzen processor is gaming results Many other reviewers have seen similar results to what shroud published in his article gaming at 1080p Even at ultra image quality settings in many tops games shows a deficit in performance compared to kb lake and broadwell e processors So shroud says he shared his testing with amd over a week ago must have been nice for him to actually have Processors a week before his article was supposed to go up what a jackass I hate that guy And to be clear our testing was done etc etc etc etc so you know there you go there's a man part of that problem Is us being canadian it's part of it talking to yeah it's part of it it's not all of it Okay, so yeah, we there was a okay, okay, so this will be an aside so Agency goes yeah, yeah, it's shipped There's like been a we don't have a tracking number though which by the way is nonsense Unless you're shipping something by donkey like even if you ship by usps to canada united states postal service Which is about as slow as it gets I mean you can't ship by boat from us to canada Okay It's one land mass. Yeah, so yeah, there literally isn't a way to ship That doesn't have a tracking number other than putting a stamp on it. Okay, okay there is but it's The point is they didn't um so they're like yeah, there's no tracking number, but but it shipped on wednesday They hold they keep that story we get in touch with amd directly they give us a tracking number because of course There's a tracking number It didn't leave till friday So that is why we didn't get our 1800x in time also We're still trying to find out where our 1700 and 1700x are Agency claims oh, no, there's no tracking number for those shipments, but they've been shipped, but there were storms meanwhile It's a little rainy outside But that's pretty normal in the pacific northwest so that's a thing We're pretty used to moving things in the rain anyway No problem amd's response to the underwhelming 1080p performance is that they are supporting 300 plus Developer kits with game development studios to optimize current and future game releases for the all new ryzen cpu And they do have a point here It is sort of new and different they announced a strategic relationship with bethesda and cpu benchmarking deficits to the competition in certain games at 1080p resolution can be attributed to the development and optimization of games uniquely to intel platforms and Again in the defense of game developers who did all of their development on intel platforms Amd didn't have a cpu worth a rat's petoot in the last five years and most gamers were gaming on intel So I totally get why that happened What if you could attribute a cost to a rat's petoot it was like a lab rat Yeah, I mean they have a they have a cost Um and like if you're testing that like does it have a value? All I know is that I wouldn't pay much for like a wheelbarrow full of them Like one might have a cost, but I don't think anyone wants like a truck load So it doesn't scale very well Where am I gonna put these? Like if a rat's petoot is worth 25 cents like like what so you can take You like you want to store them or get a few thousand of them and buy like breath of the wild Nintendo's gonna be like get this out of here It's like yes. Yes. We have like a collecting random bull crap that you found on the ground system It's an open world game like we didn't realize anyone was actually out there doing this This stuff's not actually worth anything supposed to just be a video game But no, we do not want boar hides I think that game is gonna like single-handedly sell the switch. Although I don't know it works for Wii U Um, it's like the one of the fourth or fifth or it's in the top 10 of highest rated games all time on metacritic right now pretty ridiculous Um, so basically I you know what? I don't have a ton to say about this other than that. Um You know amd's got a point with that said I think that some of the complaints are A little bit if you're buying a like top tier GPU and a top tier CPU and then playing at 1080p It's a little weird. So there are situations where I get it if you bought a nesus pg 222 whatever it was the 240 hertz. Okay, so if you bought a 240 hertz 1080p gaming display then I think most people were oh well, they were they were wrong and dumb. Um, because we already knew i'm just saying like I think genuinely Okay Well most people some people I already knew I already knew that even the most optimistic estimates of ryzen's performance is I think that's the most I think that's the most I already knew that even the most optimistic estimates of ryzen's performance had it at similar ipc to broadwell And I already knew based on the most optimistic estimates of ryzen's final clock speed That it wasn't going to be clocked higher than a 7700k So I already knew That it wasn't going to perform as well in single threaded applications. What if you want to have What if you want to have Only a processor and stream dota 2 Only a processor i've still been really confused by that. Okay, so I get it a bit more now So anthony did some testing as part of our ryzen launch coverage where he did take a look So, you know depending on who you talk to at intel you'll find people who talk about how great quick sync video encoding is and it and nvnc Is very good. The problem is that where they don't shine is in the low bit rate encoding scenario That is needed for streaming to twitch. That's the problem. So in order to get the best out of your 3500 Kilobits per second, which is really all that twitch will process anyway You can set it higher if you want, but basically you're just wasting cpu cycles and due to actually you can hurt it Because due to fluctuations if you start sending above four So if you set to like 3.8 and then it fluctuates to above four, you'll just miss stuff and it's bad. So So but at that kind of bit rate for 1080 60p Which is like kind of a lot of pixels per second um You have to have the best possible source image. You don't even really want to do 1080 60p Just an additional note if you want to do 60. Oh, yeah I think it's like 900. If you want to do 60 fps 720 is usually what people do. Okay So anyway, the point still stands you're very bit rate constrained and the more blockiness and crappiness in your original image The more it's going to be compounded by trying to stream it at a low bit rate out to your viewers. He meant 1080 60 fps It's fine. 1080 60p is a perfectly valid way to say that by the way. He's just there's just a bunch of people in the Yeah, there's a bunch of people who don't know Anyway, so if you wanted to stream at 1080 60p Then basically what that would mean is that you would you would be you would be making a slightly worse image Even much more slightly worse um, so that's why amd is defending their use of x264 encoding even on systems that obviously have powerful dedicated gpus like a You know an rx 480 that is the correct way to do it Now with that said in our testing we didn't observe the same like 20 dropped frames That amd had in their demos, but I don't really understand that because I personally Checked the amd demos. I opened up. I I minimized the game. I opened up obs I made sure they were at the same setting So I think it's something that was noticed at the event was that the x99 boards were in dual channel memory They only had two sticks of ram. No, they weren't. Okay. I checked. I heard this. I don't know in fact um in fact intel specifically or intel amd specifically even put 32 gigs of ram in the intel systems So that they were using um Four eight gig sticks and then they had two eight gig sticks in their own systems. So they actually had less overall memory Interesting you know okay hold on a second though I didn't double check that the four sticks were in the right slots now that I think about it But I heard specifically two sticks so they must have just mixed up the systems or something I think that's quite possible because I did look at the cinebench system myself and there was at least one other one that like just You know i'm yeah And they definitely had four sticks in them and they and they was right on the spec sheet They had more ram in them. So Yeah Um, there's another really cool thing that came out of the ama on the amd subreddit though. This is really cool. Um Blah blah blah. Why is there a huge discrepancy in gaming benchmarks? Okay, blah blah, etc. Oh, yes This is really cool. So I actually asked this at the event, but I didn't get an answer and Dr. Sue did answer it in the ama Does do ryzen cpu support ecc memory and the answer is yes? That's cool So they're low power And they support ecc memory for so long Intel has held Ecc kind of dangled it in front of us and going oh you want this you want this you want this buy a xeon Baby Um, I am so happy to see consumer grade cpus with ecc memory support I don't know that I would run out and build a free nas machine with you know, horizon 3 Immediately after launch. I think I want to give this platform some more time to prove itself. Yeah, but This is going to be an absolute god send to people who want to use zfs on the cheap in their home nas because zfs really does want ecc memory for the best operation and to reduce risk of data corruption And right now that means you've got to go out and buy a xeon and unfortunately There's really not much in the way of cheap xeon because either you're buying a full-on motherboard and intel xeon lineup Really doesn't get and like it's there's not like a you know A celeron xeon equivalent or you're buying like an embedded system that has a xeon soldered on the board And those because they're xeon are just not that cheap So this could be really cool cheapo itx board with an hba on it And a ryzen cpu and some ecc memory that could be a fantastic solution So i'm pretty stoked on that Um, oh yeah sponsors speaking of things that i'm stoked on Dollar shave club Club dollar shave club let's you don't look like no no actually you're not scruffy today. Yeah good job Okay, well you managed to pull that off once now literally once and now that's the new expectation. Oh shit now you have to do I mean Dollar shave club, but and then a sponsor spot too. They're gonna watch this starting over. It's new. Okay. Okay. Hold on Yeah, yeah, we'll do a different time stamp. Okay. Do you like the show subscribe below and now we're working for our sponsors Dollar shave club. Oh look i'm clean shaving today It's wonderful it's the first time it's ever happened dollar shave club is all about saving you time and saving you money Because what could be better than saving both time and money at the same time while you save money wow They make high quality razors and they ship them straight to your door for just a few bucks a month so you don't have to think about like oh is it really worth going and fighting with the guy to unlock the stupid thing and Then feeling like i'm inadequate because I don't have the like you know ridiculous accessories that are all around the stuff No, no, no dollar shave club sends you exactly what you need and only what you need They've got everything up to their executive razor. They've got their after shave They've got their doctor carver shave butter which goes on clear so you can actually see what you're doing which is Bueno and even their one wipe charlie's peppermint scented butt wipes for men There's no commitment no hidden fees and it's available in canada australia And the us so head over to dollar shave club.com and join the club they have like Actually, their their their model is incredible like there's i've seen interviews with their ceo Where they like talk about how many customers they have and i was like Wow But people love it. Yeah, what can I say? It's cool. It's easy You don't have to think about it speaking of things that are cool and easy epiphan we love epiphan's video grabbers nasa Yeah, so does so does nasa apparently there so these guys are based in canada. They've got uh, can I can I steal yours? For a minute so I can hold it up that sounds risky. No, no, it should be fine. Actually here. You know what? Oh, wow, we're gonna do a test. We're gonna put epiphan We're gonna put epiphan on the spot. Oh dang. Okay, so uh, you've just got the dock open Oh, look at that. You've got all the epiphan talking points up. So go ahead. Oh, wow epiphan av.io video grabbers are quoted as the simplest way to share video and honestly In the experience that we've had with them that sounds fairly legitimate My screen just went black because of that but that makes sense. That's not epiphan's fault That's just like I unplugged it thing works. So here it is It's a tiny little thing like this hdmi in usb3 in this is their avio 4k. They've got a bunch of different models Um, I like the do not remove sticker. Yeah, I removed it from the bench den This is this is the bench den one do not remove I took it but but I took it for you Yeah, no, I appreciate yeah, I took it for you Yeah, and basically they are as plug-and-play as a video capture device could possibly be yeah No driver install you just go bloop you plug in hdmi you open up whatever capture software It is that you want to use and it automatically detects the resolution frame rate anything else you could want and check this out live demo Oh dang live demos. Oh man. This is exciting They're good for sharing video in general You can do any computer with a usb port is pretty much how they quote that live event production gaming There it is boom boom. I can even highlight what i'm talking about boom, baby Lecture capture if you want to be like a super baller teacher. Yeah, that's right. No, it's awesome We love them check them out over at uh, oh i'm not on the right thing check them out over at epiphan.com Avio When um can't say enough good things about these guys like wan show can't stay alive Because of technical difficulties to being able to like unplug stuff and plug it back in while we're going. That's right. That's right Um and finally antlion audio is sponsoring the wan show now this raises a lot of questions question number one Why would antlion want to sponsor you guys? When every time you feature their product for some reason it sounds worse than when other people feature their product so We're super incompetent apparently um actually I know what happened last time So last time what happened was we were using the mod mic 5? on like a sennheiser wireless mic pack Instead of just like recording into it was the last time that was that was the pre-roll that I just did So we were we were using it with sort of a non-validated use case and Pella said it was fine And it wasn't fine And we should have just recorded it into a computer because the funny thing about that is that really wouldn't have been that hard No, we could have just plugged it into a computer and put it on the table and recorded it and synced it up after the fact like that would have been fine, but anyway, uh so the mod mic 5 Is a great way to add a decent sounding mic to your existing pair of headphones something that is actually kind of difficult to do Either you have to put something on your desk which can get in your way Or a lot of people use like an inline one that's on a cord but often those don't work very well Especially when you move around so the mod mic works just like a normal boom mic except it just clips it There's a little sticker that goes on the side of your existing probably audio file grade headphones That's what a lot of people use them for and then there's a cool little magnetic Thing that allows you to flip it up or put it down or even just take it off Or even just take it off outright one way that okay So the way that I use mine right now is i'm very rarely on like voice calls when i'm at my computer desk at work So it's just disconnected but sitting on my desk plugged into an extension cable to my computer So if I ever do need to use it, I just clip it back on I don't even need to just flip it up because I might not use it for a couple days at a time It's got a dual mic capsule for recording flexibility a cable wrap to protect your wires and includes the Antlion mute module So you can buy it now for 70 bucks US over at Antlion audio's website And oh cool you can enter our giveaway which will be linked in the video description I can link that right now Oh, yeah, or linked in the twitch chat. You got it? I got it Or linked in the twitch chat to win one of three modmic fives or a Hi-Fi man edition s and modmic 5 combo cool All right More topics. Wow. Every topic we've done has actually been like pretty deep. So If you feel like this is the best wancho of your life You can tweet at James underscore gravity who pledges to 100% reply to every single tweet Wow Okay, please His challenge that his whole life is full of regret starting now. Someone should okay We're not encouraging people to use a bot Someone should not Definitely make a bot. No, no, no, I knew you were gonna Don't do that. I said not someone should not don't do that Make a bot don't do that. James is a good person. We hope that would pull from like An intelliMesh set don't do that intel responds to machine learning Intel response all unique to rise in so he'd have no idea By cutting prices on core i5 and core i7 processors. Wait a minute. How old is this article? February 26th. No, wait, did that ever even happen? Is this from micro center? I think this is just uh, oh wait on amazon Hold on. Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Just a just a gosh darn minute here. Okay, micro center Yeah, yeah, that might just be micro center doing things. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on I'm doing real-time investigative journalism Where I see if prices have been dropped they have not this is the price of a 7700k 7700k ignore that and I will go yell at James After the wind show. Wow, you should all tweet him with your totally not bots That he Didn't do that right a word on the street. The original article here is from hot hardware the nvidia gtx 1080 ti Reportedly in production for a march launch reportedly Um, it's coming out next week We know that already. Wait a minute. When is this article from this is from the 20th of february james james, okay? Okay, james You guys you know what? I'm not gonna talk to him. You guys talk to him for me. Okay? Yeah, you guys talk to him Okay, this is actually new mike pence's email hacked. So the original article from BBC Mike pence was apparently You storing like public Public Like government related stuff on a private email server. Why is this so common? And uh Yep, so so he used a private he used a private email as the indiana governor to conduct state business now With that said we have to also be careful not to Not to blow this out of proportion Because my understanding is that that isn't illegal there now Um I mean Should that be okay? No And apparently he knew all this while attacking hillary's email practices, which is sort of hilarious. Yes Many of pence's email Contacts received emails saying mr. Pence and his wife had become stranded in the philippines and urgently needed money so this wasn't like a vigilante like They were just trying to make money Yeah, so So that's a thing so um, you know personally i'm shocked, I mean something hypocritical about the trump administration and it's and it's uh Members that would never happen. No, I don't believe it. Yeah, google's a google assistant ai now available for all modern android handsets Which is an interesting way of putting that because an android handset can be pretty darn modern but not have um android m or n Yeah, so there's that you can try to figure out how to make it actually answer in a conversational tone like I do Um, it's a little difficult sometimes it takes a few shots Yeah Should be the frustrating part is when it decides to end the conversation by just giving you a google search link and you're like Well gotta start from the beginning again It's a really good really good way for that to work voice interaction is like so bad like it's one of those things where like this is a big deal because This was a pixel pixel feature that for some reason some people cared about and now it's I thought rolling out What it's gonna be super cool. I'm very excited for private voice activated ai I'm not very excited for cloud. Yeah, so we'll make it eventually. Yeah, that's Way far out, but so we'll make it eventually. Yeah, the current setups for voice activated ai is scary and sketchy And once like way down the line someone makes it private. I will Set that up. All right So anyway, the timing of this is interesting samsung is rumored to be launching its bixby assistant on the galaxy s8 Which will probably also be terrible And by the time that launches google assistant should also be available on the galaxy s8 so it'll be uh It'll be uh, you know game on between the two features that don't matter Just update google play services. So sounds like you're getting it whether you really want it or not cool nice Um, all right fantastic CBC claims That subway chicken is only 50% chicken Subway defends its chicken After a cbc marketplace report calling the story false and misleading But cbc stands behind the dna test result. So they found it was 50 soy however Food scientists have chimed in saying dna tests aren't their preferred method of testing Subsequent tests by third parties and subway itself indicate the chicken is less than 1 soy Apparently that is present due to the fact that the chicken is only 50% Apparently that is present due to added spices and marinade So there you go. Now, you know, they have lots of soy in their spices and marinade ours technica reports And good. This was only yesterday. Good job james how game mode will make games run better on windows plus details on strict limitations for uwp apps running on the xbox one So in a nutshell game mode will apparently isolate cpu resources to be devoted exclusively to that game process Now that's not something that I would expect to affect Average frame rates much but it's something that I might expect especially on systems that are only marginally able to run a game Something that I might expect to affect like hiccups so, you know, I mean, okay, this isn't something that i've experienced since like The athlon xp era Maybe maybe at that point. Okay. It's not something i've experienced since like the athlon x2 era But there would have been times in the past where getting an instant message and having something pop up from your uh, From your taskbar from your system tray would have caused a game stutter Yeah, it was a long time ago but theoretically This could help prevent now people run like video wallpapers and stuff That's like really common now Wallpaper engine. It's like a software you can buy on steam Remember like a long time ago when through vlc you could like set a video as your background. Yeah, and uh windows vista ultimate Had that as a feature too. Yeah. Yeah now it's like there's a program on steam called. I think it's wallpaper engine unfortunately, most of them are just like weird mostly nude drawn Animated girls, but there's a search button Animated girls, but there's a search bar So I found like a really cool titanfall helmet When it's doing like the blinking thing after the credits and an assassin's creed flag because I haven't changed since I was 18 So here we go Wow, that was a really cool story Wonderful Um, the system moves threads devoted to other processors Unfortunately, you can choose whatever you want. I won't judge you You uh the system gives an even greater majority of c of gpu cycles to the active game reducing the time available for what? Is everything else what else is using the gpu? Like what are you rendering crap in adobe media encoder with mercury engine like In the background, I mean if you're doing that you deserve to have a crappy gaming experience Um All right The switch launch is going really well apparently they're going to be shipping two million by the end of the month I don't think that's how many are sold because a lot of sites are just not taking purchases like you can't even pre you can't even like Pre-purchase one when they're available almost anywhere because no one knows how much stock they're getting because it's nintendo Um, but as they've like such a big company be so disorganized Yeah, as they've already shipped two million units and the wi-yu only ever shipped so far 13.5 5 6 around there. Wow, they're doing pretty good rid of the predecessor Fascinating. Yeah. All right Um, what else we got here? We've got some other interesting topics. I think we're nearing the end. Are we we could yeah, yeah I'm started mostly on oh, yeah psvr has sold almost a million units Which is estimated to be nearly twice that of the rift and the vive combined So many people for so long have been telling me that in my vr scripts when I talk about how the cost of everything Combined is really expensive. No, but the computers are pretty cheap now like no It doesn't matter. Yeah, you're getting into a realm of expense, which is just too much for so many people It doesn't matter that like it's really good. Yeah, it's like it's like car people You know what car people I find are some of the worst about this where they'll be like But a BMW drives so much better and I'll be like Wow, who cares? I mean, maybe okay. Maybe BMW is a bad example because some of their some of their lower end stuff is actually somewhat attainable So what would what would I compare it to like we know someone who's relatively young that has one? Yeah Yeah, that's true. Okay. Okay. BMW is a bad example. What how do I? Okay, see as not a car person. It's hard for me to even remember the obnoxious car people things that okay, okay when when we're when rear cameras first showed up And people would be like but this is so much better and I'd be like right but that's only available That's only even available on trim levels that cost double what the base model does. That's more. That's more what I'm going for Yeah, like I remember in high school One of my one of my friends his mom had an SUV. So remember this is back in like 2003 had an SUV back up camera back then that's ballin. She had GPS. Oh So she had GPS that was like built in that was built in and she had windshield wipers That detected whether there was rain on the windshield or not Dan and only went if there was like three too much rain like back in oh three And he's like telling me how great his mom's car is and I'm like cool, like it doesn't matter how much better it is because I do this or This turn my windshield wipers on. Yeah, I don't have You know 120 130 grand to spend on an SUV. I just I don't have that It hurts me physically. It doesn't matter how much better it is So there that's more the point I was trying to make Yeah Okay, so the reason why I don't own any cloud connected kids toys So this was this was actually I saw this on a tweet from Troy hunt here Data from connected cloud pets teddy bears leaked and ransomed Exposing kids voice messages that's conversations between the child and others can be recorded and forwarded done done done looks like a very cute toy and all that but um Oh my god, my kids do not own anything connected to the internet And they won't until they're old enough to understand what it means To have something connected to the internet messages were stored in a mongo database That was pub that was in a publicly facing network segment without any Authentication required and had been indexed by shodan Wow over 820,000 users data Had or over 820,000 users had data exposed 2.2 million voice recordings of parents and their children Wow Fantastic Okay, apparently this is probably the samsung galaxy s8 I haven't actually looked at this yet. Apparently it might have a curved screen. Hey And wow, no buttons. Oh, wow, that's a shame Um, okay Hmm That is a shame Missing the physical and capacitive blah blah blah blah blah blah blah The uh, did you know that the g6 has a non like it has a wider than usual aspect Ratio no, does this kind of look like it also does sort of does I I really hope that looks like a wonko photo Yeah, okay from what I can I really hope that doesn't turn into a thing I plan to I plan to kind of crap on that in my g6 review, which will be coming because we finally Finally achieved it Video content and screens being the same shape like we waited so long for this For everyone to just kind of get their act together for so first on computers We had four by three screens, then we had five by four screens for some freaking reason Why what anyway, so we got that then then we got 16 by 10. Okay, so we were getting close I liked that I liked 16 by 10 too because the black bars were reasonable But I also see why people might prefer to especially as screens got bigger To give up a little bit of their relative, you know vertical space. I would still like it for no black bars I would I get it. I would still personally like it 16 by 10, but I get it. Okay, so So so so we got that far then the only aspect ratio We really got on monitors and i'm excluding things like the surface studio or um, you know the surface surface pro like where you know like tablets Surfaces all in one. Yeah, basically surfaces. Okay, so other than surfaces monitors. We stuck with that or Recently introduced ultra wide so 21 by 9 which happens to be very similar to theatrical widescreen Yeah, so there we go TVs and it's drastically different TVs monitors and then apple finally did it with the iphone 6 So TVs monitors and mobile devices Other than tablets all went 16 by 9 and Everything was bueno and nobody had black bars We don't need to move away from from that. 16 by 9 is fine. Yes, it's fine There's there's no compelling reason that I can think of to change it Um sony This is actually really cool debuts the world's fastest sd card Up to around 300 megabytes. Wow, AnonTech has those now Dang it dr. Cutress, um right speeds of 299 megabytes per second how sad they couldn't get the engineer one more who couldn't squeeze one more megabyte per second out of it Port how sad was he or she? Um, so there you go up to 128 gigabyte capacities and as long as the reader is uhs2 compliant They are able to handle almost 300 megabytes per second reads and writes This is getting up to around say to two like saturating wait Yes, saturating say to two speeds. That is fantastic They're not saying hey, we're going to do a Yes, saturating say to two speeds. That is fantastic. They're not saying how they're getting that in an sd card only saying that it is enabled by firmware which is like Okay, thanks, but the cards are also waterproof shockproof temperature resistant and x-ray proof Cool, they're announcing a card reader specifically built for them with built-in super speed usb 3.1 gen 1 That should leave standard sd slots in the dust Uh, oh what time is it? Oh, oh wow. Oh, oh, oh we should uh, we should uh, we should talk about flow playing club Hooray, hooray, do the thing. Do you have anything exciting to share with anybody? I'm putting you on the spot a little bit The the website version has a password reset that works now Okay, that's exciting. Yeah, I mean they're okay the website version that definitely doesn't exist I mean we could share that I guess now that we spilled the beans on it. No, no, oh Because they'd see that no no no not to show it to them. No, no just that it will that there will be one Oh, yeah, okay, because I actually had some people asking in the float playing club like private. I haven't I haven't been like Announcing it, but I haven't been hiding it. Okay, so we've had people asking will Flow playing club always be and here's what it looks like now. So this is float playing club Will it always be a janky sub forum on the linus tech tips website? No definitely not Development is very actively happening. Um Luke is working on it and x saying in Slightly under now three months Ah, okay, and possibly allegedly we might have also someone else working on it That person's currently on probation, but that's like that's just like BC law That's not because like we hate to hate them. That's just sort of how that works. That's just kind of how it works. Yeah But but this is definitely a real development project. It is definitely happening and The way that you sign up is you go to the store on the linus tech tips forum So I'll show you guys what that looks like and then you go to float playing club Actually, all the other contributor tiers are also have access to float playing club But for now they don't actually have a ton of benefit beyond that get a fancy badge You get access to the the the tier exclusive sub forum Yeah The only one of which that matters is the bronze one because we have a counting thread in there and we count by images So the image that you post has to have the number in it. I contributed a thing there. Yeah, it was really funny I forget what it was, but I thought it was really funny I think I saw it and I think I enjoyed it a lot of them are good It's it seems like people genuinely like take time to find one. That's sort of cool. Yeah Um, we're at like almost I think we're at like 850 ish or something. So basically you sign up in the store and You can see up here. There you go. There's a float playing club link that goes in there and Counting threads and chat. Oh excellent And then you get access to a week's worth of content and there's other stuff that we have planned for it as well so all what we already have working is There's a week's worth of releases that are not on YouTube yet And then what we also have working is that the bit rates are higher at a given resolution It looks better on full blank. So it looks better and sounds for a lot of people more importantly actually sounds better So we don't compress the audio very much at all Let's see. What so what do we have on here that is not on YouTube yet? server room update vlog is there We can maybe explain why that's not on YouTube Yeah, so oh, yeah A lot of people have asked us like what's the deal with sometimes the early access platform? Having stuff for two or three weeks before it hits YouTube and what happens sometimes is when we do a simultaneous release In order to not screw up our calendar planning Because we won't launch two videos in a day on YouTube That's not going to happen it what what happens is it causes the first video to like get buried a little bit of cascading. Yeah So like this week with like Ryzen 1080 Ti Nintendo switch, which I believe is coming out tomorrow. Yeah I Tomorrow like noon noon. Yeah, okay tomorrow like midday. Yeah, or maybe slightly earlier I might stomp on land show and just hit it a little bit earlier, but basically What happens is that if we do a simultaneous release YouTube already got a video that day? So that one actually gets pushed down an entire additional week because on a normal week. We would only do Maybe one or maybe two simultaneous releases, so we can't just like Bump it to the next day because then it screws up like that one that screws up everything until we can reset it the following Week so so that's the way that works so anyway. What's on there now is the server room update vlog part 3 finale Luke's not so secret obsession analog NT mini yes, we've got windows 9 the OS Microsoft won't tell you about We've got one about EVGA's new thermal solution for their cards where they've They believe and actually looks pretty good that they've solved card overheating problems once and for all We've got a rundown of every AMD Radeon card tested look at thumbnail look at how his mouth is open Look at how look at how we blew up the size of all the video cards So that they'd be bigger no no so I held them out like that. I really did, but they would only be like This big like look at how like a thing about how big a card is relative to my hand. Yeah, looks pretty good I think I did it And then check this out. There's so it's AMD video cards through the ages So there's a clock and a dinosaur. It's really subtle though We're still working on this whole thumbnail. We take time with our clickbait. Yeah, that's right So there you go. That's how it works. It's a video player. Just like you would expect a video player to be We've even got cool features like check this out see we have thumbnail Thumbnail preview so you can skip to the part of the video where check this out. This is amazing Card on the left photoshopped in what? Taryn did it Photoshop we didn't have one oh my god Even the shadow is fake, so I think he like pulled chunks of this shadow and like put it over there And then good job. Yeah, it's like just it's I don't even know if this is a is a photograph I think this is like a render off of AMD's like press kit. Holy crap. Yeah The press kit Yeah, the 2900 XT. Yeah, that's pretty sick. Yeah, so anyway Got lots of videos over there, and we've got lots and lots of plans for this in the future It's gonna be a pretty freaking unbelievable platform. We hope But there's a lot of work to be done and we're not even answering questions about when it'll launch What is really cool is do we want to talk about how we added more capacity? No, okay. No, okay. We didn't just don't even want to know there's a website coming. We're working on it a lot There's a website coming. We're working on it a lot There's there's some serious infrastructure involved in serving the number of people that we're serving on float platforms Club which what I'll say is that it's probably more than you think That's all I can really say yeah, in fact there's I pretty much guarantee it is more people than you think and There's been some challenges, but I think I demonstrated the responsiveness of the player There's still like that weird glitchiness when we change resolutions like it goes back to the thumbnail for a second But then like it's pretty fast Yeah, we're really excited about it. Team's been working really hard. Thank you You know who you are. Yeah, do you know who you are? No Existential question. I don't even know who you are Get get how did you get in here get get out of get out of here Thanks for watching the WAN Show guys. We'll see you again next week same bad time same bad channel You
