 I think that was like one of the sleepiest intros we've had. You know, Welcome to the nighttime podcast. I haven't even gotten that much done this week. Like, yeah, let me have a look. We use Trello now, which is actually pretty cool. I actually really like it. So we use Trello to track all of our tasks and everything. Trello is pretty cool. And so this week I actually only got like, oh, jeez, five video shot of which I scripted none of them. So like on paper, I got not a whole lot done this week, but- Big meetings. I had to have a lot of meetings and there is something about meetings that just makes you just hate yourself at the end of the day and then hate yourself some more at the end of the week. And then just when you're done hating yourself, you hate your life and yeah, meetings suck. So you never know like, okay, did we cover enough stuff? And then if you do cover a new stuff, the new question is, did we cover too many things and waste time? Yeah. It's like, ugh. So I mean, yeah, I got everything that I needed to do. And like, honestly, the stuff that we did this week was pretty cool. So we finally covered the Porsche design laptop, the EV tablet, that Surface competitor, that's like a few hundred dollars cheaper. Okay, wow. And great build quality, great specs, comes with the keyboard cover and a stylus. So we got a review done of that. Cause that's the thing that doesn't happen anymore. Dell sent us over what has to be the most bad ass projector that I've yet seen. Oh, and you're into projectors. So that's cool. It's HDR, it's laser, it's 5,000 lumens. Wow. And it's 4,500 bucks, which is a lot of money. Yeah, it is. But go buy a hundred inch HDR 4K TV. Yeah, they get quite expensive. Yeah. Once you get up there and see. 5,000 lumens. Like obviously it's not gonna work in a bright room with the sun coming in the way that a TV might. Yeah. But in a dim room, but with the blinds up, as the sun was probably gonna set in about half an hour, it was super usable, like very usable, even with some of the lights on in the room. So I was super impressed by that. So if you live up here, it'll just always work great. Yeah. It's not gonna happen anymore. Well, not this time of year. Yeah. And then John did a smart Christmas lights roundup. Okay, I heard about this. Yes. How was that? John was like super into this two months ago. He was like, hey, so I think honestly, I don't think he's bringing any of that stuff back. I doubt it. I think he's just keeping it because I think his ulterior motive is that he's just into decoration in a way that I don't think most of the other people here really are. He is, yeah. Yep, and he's into celebrating festivities. Festivities, yeah. Yep, his tree was up and it was badass when I went over there. He's definitely the festive spirit. Yeah, so I think he just had an ulterior motive that was he wanted cool, smart Christmas lights and he figured, hey. Oh, I know that was part of it. If I make a video about this, then I'll just keep them. Yeah. So we made that video. How is it though? How was it? Most of them are terrible, as you'd expect. Yeah. So he didn't get a lot of great lights out of it, but he did get a couple of those Philips. Philips Hue goes, which he really likes. Yeah, I was gonna ask, did Philips make a set because their stuff seems to be pretty good. Yeah, so Philips was the only one that had an app that wasn't total ass. But it's not proper Christmas lights, I'm assuming. No, it's just Philips Hue, but green and red, which is a thing that Philips Hue does. Yes. The last one was we're doing our test build on air cooling in the Corsair Concept Slate. The largest case. Oh, that. Not ever, but certainly the largest, yeah, that thing. Certainly the largest case from a mainstream case manufacturer. Like Mountain Mods has done stuff. Like an Ascension duality is gonna be bigger. How big is it compared to that huge Phanteks case? You know what? I don't know the Phanteks ones. Case Labs has definitely done something bigger. The TX10V or something like that. Like ginormous dual ATX, yeah, yeah. Like just redonkulous cases. That thing's ridiculous. You know, from a normal case manufacturer, like your Corsair, your Thermaltake, your Antec, all those guys, this is the biggest that I've seen. It's like curved tempered glass and like. Wow. I know with cases like this, it's not about selling a whole bunch of them. But I wonder how many they really think they're going to sell. And I don't mean really in like a derogatory way. Like I wonder like when they're like, okay, let's make this case. Yeah, like forecasting. You have to do forecasting. But like what is the number that they decided? I don't think they care. Probably not, but like I wonder, yeah. I actually don't think they care. It's just a show off. I think this one is just, okay, you can't tool a case for less than a half a million dollars. I'll tell you that much. This one was a lot more than that. Yeah. And. Curved tempered alone, I'm sure is like not fun. They're not going to sell a ton of them. Cause if I had to guess and I'd be completely guessing, I have no information. If I had to guess, I'd say the Corsair Concept Slate is probably going to cost 500 to 650 US dollars. So like, this is not, this is not going to be a volume product. I put my hand up to guess and was like five. Okay, yeah. So I think we're on the same page there. And I was thinking that or higher. So that works. I'm just going to, I'm just going to add. Thanks to Corsair and Synergy for sponsoring our coverage of Computex 2017. You can check them both out at the link in the video description. All right guys. So we're here in the Corsair suite where they have, I would love to say one of the leaders of volume. Of pure enthusiast grade PC goodness. To put that in perspective. Compared to the Gigabyte Rix VR, which holds a quad core Core i7 processor. And a GTX 1060. Like it's crazy. I did the math ahead of time. I apparently didn't write it down. But it's a lot more times. I think it's like 48 times the internal volume. I know how big that is. So what on earth would you do? Right down here at the bottom. And they even got a bunch of hard line tubing. We're showing how you could potentially. And hopefully, hopefully we'll do a great job. It's all on tape. Is it just like a crazy build or is there like a specific point? It's like the, So the powerful one is the workstation. Okay. So four quadros. Yeah. 128 gigs of RAM. Oh. 18 core processor. Oh. Like basically, the finest. The absolute best. Okay. And then the gaming machine is a capable gaming machine that's like hiding in there. So it's a 7700K with a 1080 Ti. Okay. And 32 gigs of RAM. So while your thing is rendering on your multiple quadros. Yeah. And it's still game at absolute full capacity. Yeah. You can get one of, so Wendell over at level one techs is releasing his KVMs. I believe they're actually available on the store right now but he's got two different models and they're display port KVMs. So we've actually got one of them in. I've been meaning to do like an unboxing. Wait, what? He's selling them? Yeah. So, Like he's making them? Yeah. That's a product that already existed but he basically made firmware for it that isn't trash. That's cool. So right up until now, a display port KVM has been pretty hard to come by especially one that isn't total garbage. Yeah. Okay. That asterisk on the end is super important. So it's display port 1.2. It passes through FreeSync as far as I know. And he's even gotten it working, passing through G-Sync. The tall boy model is $550. But it is a dual monitor KVM. Okay. So you would actually be able to run this. In fact, that's what we should probably do Jake in the showcase, like show off video for this one. Is we should have two monitors and then you can actually switch between your two systems like that. And it does audio. Oh yeah. It's like totally bad ass. It's USB 3. It's like crazy, crazy amazing. What's the, okay. So the tall boy model is the dual monitor one. Yeah. That's the main difference. And then the four, there's the quad port, single monitor one. So you can switch between four different systems. That one's like 330 bucks or something like that. Yeah. So you've got, you're looking at 396 for the single monitor setup. Oh that much. Okay. And 660 for the tall boy model. Okay. So I had the pricing totally wrong. So yeah. And that's US dollars by the way. I mean, they look sick. Yeah. And you know, for a high plug count KVM, that's actually not unreasonable. There's some, there's some that you can get at quite a bit cheaper, but not, not, not anywhere close to that feature set. Yeah. I mean, you can spend, you can spend that kind of money on VGA KVM still depending on the features. Yeah. So people are asking for a link. I'll drop one in chat. Yeah. All right. Thanks. All right. Why don't we, oh, how do we roll the intro? Crap. Well, we have good topics. Trust me.da rad is Hey, if you're logged into Twitch, is there an easy way to get me an authentication thing? Because otherwise I have to go onto the thing and I have to do the whole thing. Oh, all right. Yeah. Yeah, all right. Never mind. Okay. That's fine. All right. Well, if I whispered and did hand gestures while we're live on stream. Yeah. How's it going? Sup. What do you, what is, for what? For this? Yeah. You don't need that. I don't need that? No. Well, how do I do it? Are you sure? I'm pretty sure. Are you, are you not logged in? No. Try to log in. This is a new laptop. Okay. Try to log in. I already did. What? What? Oh, wait. Okay, hold on. I got this. Cool. Okay. You know what? We'll get back to you on that. Actually, we won't at all. So don't worry about it. Okay. So the iMac Pro, this was originally posted by RedRound2. I'm posting the link in the Twitch chat now. The original article is from 9to5Mac. And apparently it's going to feature an A10 Fusion processor inside. So, oh, wow. That's weird. What? Oh, hold on. Oh, oh. That was close. Can I, can I has, can I has? I mean, it would have just shown the topic. So I'm actually working on my re, oh yeah, it does. Good. Cool. I'm working on my review of the new Blade Stealth. This is the quad core model. Okay. So I'm super listoked on this thing so far, actually. Wow. You didn't just include it in your other Blade review? No. Wow. Why would I do that? Wow. What? Just milking videos. What are you talking about? You're drunk. They're both Blades. You should include it in the same video. I shouldn't have to watch two different videos with Blades. And you know what? I can't be milking it because it's obviously going to get demonetized because it has the word Blade in it. So. Wait, did that happen? No. Well, okay, yes, but not necessarily. We got it back. Oh, okay. Yeah, that was like six years ago. Back when I did an unboxing of the original Razer Blade, I had some, I had some keywords in the description about Razer's Switchblade interface, which at the time I said I didn't think made a ton of sense. And it got, it got butt-canned so fast. You remember that thing, right? With the displays behind the programmable buttons. Yeah. It was just so expensive and nobody cared. It was pretty bad. It also was buggy. Yeah. Anyway, so it got demonetized and I had to appeal it. I filmed that video. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. So that was a long time ago. I remember it. And neither of us edited it because we didn't edit videos back then. Okay, so the iMac Pro to feature A10 Fusion Co-Processor, possibly for always-on hay Siri. You know, okay, so I've got a couple things to say here. Number one is that I was super confused when I read the headline for this and I was like, oh, an A10 Fusion Co-Processor. And I was like, oh, that's weird. Why would they put an APU in there? Yeah, that's exactly what I thought too. Because AMD has their lineup of A10 APUs and then Fusion was what AMD was calling what they were going to call their CPU-GPU hybrid products that just ended up being APUs, but there was really nothing hybrid about them. They were just CPUs with onboard graphics. Anyway, Fusion was the branding that they were going to use for that. And I was like, oh yeah, A10 Fusion. And because I don't follow Apple as closely as I follow PC stuff, like yes, you know, A11 Bionic, A10 Fusion, I'm sure that lots of Apple people would have gone- It makes complete sense. Oh, and A10 Fusion, like the iPhone 7. But I didn't and I'm dumb and you can all have a nice little laugh at me. And anyway, so point number one is I got confused. Haha. And point number two is that I think this is great. Yeah, I mean, sure. It's going to handle smaller, more different tasks like hosting Hey Siri always on. So you would just be able to say, Hey Siri to your computer, which would be cool, I guess, if you're into that. There's so many mics in our houses now. It's kind of ridiculous, but you know, whatever. Not in mine, but- You're already being monitored by, wow. Oh yeah, I mean phone, yes. Phone yes. Hey Siri, no. You probably have one on you. No, I do not have an iPhone on me right now. You usually do though. I usually do. It was a good guess. And is that a smartwatch? Yes. Yeah. I don't know if it has a mic. But a lot of them do. And you swap it quite often. That's true. A lot of mics. This is a ProTrek. It's actually kind of cool. We did like a sponsored spot for it, but I'm not being paid to wear it right now. I like it. It's got two screens. So this is a dumb screen. Oh, is it an over- Okay, yeah. Yeah. Remember when these first came out and we were both talking about how this is how they would have to do it. Yeah. It's so cool. It makes a lot of sense. Because when it dies, it lasts for like another month and a half. Yeah. Yeah. And it's just a watch. It makes tons of sense. And like honestly, I get so many notifications that it's impractical to manage them from my wrist anyway. But I got back in the habit of wearing a watch. So I'm wearing a watch now basically. And that's cool because like, I don't know, if it is charged, sweet. You get some notifications on your wrist. If it's not charged, whatever. Yeah. Like I can tell someone's calling me when I leave my phone at my desk or whatever. It's not a useless thing strapped to your wrist, which is cool. I like that. Right. Yeah. So I'm pretty into it. But anyway, I'm glad they're doing this either way because this has been a thing that has confused me for a number of years. Why is it that there is anything that this can do that my laptop and my desktop can't? That's so stupid. Yeah. So I mean, to add to that list, why does my laptop not have GPS? It would be great for, and I know they can tell where your laptop is. In fact, we have a great tech quickie coming on how they know where your laptop is. It can do that pretty well. It can do that really well, which is swell, but that won't necessarily help with a find my laptop feature, for example. As it is, those all rely on the same Wi-Fi positioning that your Google Maps would, for example. But this coprocessor isn't going to give you your... I'm just adding to my list of things that every device should just support, and for some reason they don't. Right. But every device isn't going to have a SIM card. Okay, there's another great question. Why the actual hell does every device not have somewhere that I can pop a SIM card? Yeah, it probably should. It should be more standard for phone companies to just charge you five bucks for the SIM, but not charge you anything on top of that monthly. The monthly fee shouldn't go up. You should pay for the hardware because they have to ship it or whatever. I just don't get it. How is this not obvious? Yeah, it would be really sick if I could have a SIM in my laptop, my phone, my switch, everything, and it all just pulls from my one pool of available data. I have other stuff on my list. I can't remember for the life of me right now what... Yeah, I mean, okay, biometrics took forever and are still taking forever on laptops and desktops, whereas they've been standard on mobile devices for about three years now. Yeah, like Windows Hello is a thing, but that's very recent and not standard. And not standard at all. So yeah, there's a bunch of stuff like that that I just look at and I'm kind of going, well, why? Why can phones do this? And for some reason, we aren't building this functionality into other devices. It drives me crazy. The LG Gram Gen 3. That just rolled in. And it's got this jank-tastic fingerprint scanner on the top left of the trackpad that is not touch sensitive. So you can just run over it and your touchpad doesn't work there. And I'm sitting here going, we've had touch ID slash fingerprint scanners built into everything, from side buttons to back buttons to front buttons to fricking... What? Why? They don't even cost much. You look at the tear downs for these phones. To be clear, I don't think it's as simple as if the bomb cost for a phone, like the iPhone 10 is rumored to be what? $330, $340, $370, whatever it is. It's somewhere in the $250 to $350 range, something like that. To be clear, I'm not saying, oh, well, then it should be $499, because unlike some people, I do understand that there's a lot of costs associated with bringing a product to market, including, really including, the long-term support of said product, something that Apple does generally pretty well. And like literally $0 inclusion cost for all of the operating system and software. Yes. Okay. So I'm also not saying they're not making enough money, like they're clearly doing okay. They're clearly making a lot of money. But my point is that when you look at these tear downs, the kinds of parts that I'm complaining about, I'm not even asking necessarily for a cellular radio to be built into the device. I'm asking why the actual crap, we didn't have a standard created five to eight years ago where every motherboard just has a spot where you can plug it in. Why don't we have a couple, like we're talking little tiny copper wires for antennas to have a way to add this functionality. Very easily be built into the screen. It does exist, it's just something that's really not very common. And another example. And it actually used to be more common. Another example is something like, it did too, back when Express cards were I think. And clearly it went away because there wasn't a ton of demand for it, but cell phone plans used to be exorbitantly expensive. Yeah, and to be able to have something like data was like nigh unheard of. Like yeah, it was almost non-existent. And someone in the chat has actually brought up, I lost the comment now, I'm sorry. But they said family plan, SIM grouping. I've heard that it's way more common in the States and it's starting to definitely be a thing in Canada, but it's still not like a default thing. No, and to be, and like. It's pretty kludgy. The plans, even if they exist, and you can get them for businesses as well, the plans, even if they exist, don't have device support. So it's like, I can't just pop a SIM in my blade stealth, which I should be able to. So my point then is that on a thousand dollar device or a fourteen hundred dollar device, I think this one's a five twelve gig, I think this is about a sixteen hundred dollar device. I think they could have absorbed a slot for a SIM card. I think they could have absorbed a fingerprint scanner that isn't trash and that sits under a touch sensitive surface like a track pad. And you know what? I think they probably also could have absorbed. You look at how much the camera sensors cost for even a rear camera on a cell phone. It is a trivial amount. Why is every webcam not as good as like the one plus five T's rear camera? Why? What's the excuse? Laptop cameras are actually like disgustingly bad and laptop mics. They could be a lot better. Man. So yeah, I guess that's it. I was mad. Now I've got it out of my system. I'll get mad about it again at some point, but I'm over it for now. Yeah. What else do we have for topics today? Okay. Yeah. Why don't we do this before the sponsors? Oh boy. Intel finds critical holes in secret management engines. So this is posted by cubes, the gamer on the forum. I'm going to pull up the original article from the register and I think Luke's probably better qualified to go through. Well this is some pretty ridiculous stuff. Why this is a big deal. This is fairly self-explanatory. There's firmware level bugs that allow logged in administrators or some other people. You can access it over the network, which is extremely scary. Yeah. Logged administrators and high privilege processes. So programs, doesn't have to be a user, to run code beneath the operating system to spy on or meddle with the computer completely out of sight of other users or admins. Now that's not the only scary part because it's going onto the processor. You can access things that are in memory. So you can screw with other programs and you can take things from other programs. So meanwhile. Hold on. Can I jump in and ask a question? I'm going to ask a dumb question. Now typically something like a password in a perfect world, in a perfectly coded website and or piece of software. It has to be moved around but at some points in time. It would stay encrypted theoretically end to end but in practice. There is sometimes while it's being moved around where it might not be encrypted for a jump. Got it. It should be encrypted the whole time. So if something has access to memory, it can grab stuff that would otherwise be impossible. I think so. And what could be really bad about that is you could change something. So while a program is running you could change something that's in memory. Crashing it in a really special way or like altering something. So it's an exploit that opens up the potential for many other exploits. Yeah I have obviously never screwed with something like this before but it's pretty brutal. Here we go. There direct quote. The flaws could allow an attacker to impersonate the MESPS or TXE mechanisms that's referring to management engine, service platform services or trusted execution engine which is a great name right now. There by invalidating local security features. Code and execute arbitrary code outside of the visibility of the user and the operating system. This is where some of the special caveats come from. Your antivirus? Get owned. So you can crash affected systems extremely easily this way. Brutal. The things affected are sixth generation, seventh generation and eighth generation Intel core processors. This is a long list. Intel Xeon E3 1200 V5 and V6 processors. Intel Xeon scalable processors. Intel Xeon W processors. Intel Atom C3000 processors. Apollo Lake Intel Atom E3900 series processors. Apollo Lake Intel Pentiums. Celeron N and Celeron J series processors. And Ryzen 7. No I'm just kidding it's all Intel. Oh boy. The holes can also be exploited by network administrators. This was the part that I really didn't like. The rest of them are pretty brutal. The fact that there can be an attack vector. It's all brutal. I mean. It's all brutal. We're talking like we're talking like AIDS birthday cake. Like does it really matter what slice you take? The problem that I have with this is it's it's it's quite easy to social engineer your way onto someone's Wi-Fi. Right. It's like it's been proved so many times that in so many different situations you can get onto someone's Wi-Fi pretty easily. Whether you overhear someone asking for a password or if you just oh man I really need to do whatever it is. Oftentimes people will let you on the Wi-Fi. And then getting up to administrator access usually not the hardest thing once you're already on the network. Anyways exploited by network administrators or people masquerading as admins like I just said to remotely infect machines with spyware and invisible root kits. Oh God. Wow. It's not it's not good. It's really bad. Okay yeah. I'm asking for the link. I'll drop the link. Yeah. So far. So far I don't think Intel has a plan to deal with this. It's a firmware level thing. So yeah. So at the best case scenario the best case scenario is they might be able to patch this via a BIOS update which is a terrible solution because understand this too. This is fun. Not every BIOS update updates me. Yeah. Okay. And in fact I ran into an issue a little while back where I forget what exactly the problem was. Oh man. There's this thing with I think it's a Seuss not a Seuss. It's I think it's with Z1 70 boards. I think it's that generation can't remember exactly anyway. The point is that you have to do like some kind of CPU juggling in order to first flash so you have to go back to like an old CPU to flash the ME. I think you actually have to do something in OS then you have to pop that and you have to put in a new one. You have to flash the BIOS with that. Then you have to like put in the old one like it's some stupid juggling act. I wish I could remember but I wasted like three hours of my time a while back. Do you remember? 87 to 97. Is that right? Z87, Z9. No it's all of them. Asus just has it documented so you know what to do. Anyway the point is I believe the issue there was that ME couldn't be updated while you had the one CPU but it could for the other. The point is best case scenario they can update this with a BIOS flash but that relies on a number of things. It relies on the manufacturer of the actual motherboard to do something with, okay it relies on Intel to provide a fix. It relies on the manufacturer to do something with that fix. It relies on the manufacturer to communicate to the end user that they need to apply that fix. It relies on the end user. Being able to run a BIOS update. To be able to run a BIOS update. That's like the worst thing. I mean we're talking stuff going back to 6th gen. I mean there's stuff, especially when you start getting into OEM systems like Dell's and HP's. There are systems that are not that simple to run a BIOS update on. When you consider that the average user is intimidated by pressing delete and being presented with all these scary options. Someone in the chat brought up like processes can edit memory for other processes. Yeah I know that's already a thing but this is undetectable by the operating system. Which is like the reason why it scares me. You can do it without permission. That's a whole other level. You can screw with things without being caught. And a lot of things are going to be caught by Windows. Okay so I'm not done yet. It relies on the end user to be arsed to go and deal with it because for someone who doesn't know how to update a BIOS there's probably let's say conservatively an hour of their life that they have to set aside to learn about this issue, figure out how to do it and actually do it. There's going to be, I mean, okay I know that it's unlikely but any machines that experience a power loss during this update, well they're going to be bricked. They're going to need to be replaced. So there's going to be a service cost associated with this. This is terrible. I'd love to hear Wendell talk about this. We brought Wendell up on this stream. So I just thought about him. That would be cool. This to me seems really bad mainly because you're going below OS level. So you can do essentially whatever the hell you want. That's the scary thing for me. You can screw with other programs. You can make it look like other programs are doing the thing that you're doing. That's the stuff that's freaking me out. I really wonder what someone like Wendell thinks. Yeah. I'm just sitting here looking at the business side of things going, this will not get fixed. That is the truth. There will be many, many millions of PCs out there that will be affected by this forever. Pretty much. How often do people update their glass? In like the people that are watching this and the people that are at this table? Usually I have a Saturday night calendar reminder. I get some wine and some cheese and update my bios. What accent was that? I don't know. It was like three different ones. It was terrible. It had a little bit of French. And then I switched immediately after that. It's not common. I would almost bet that probably above 80% of motherboards never receive one. Random statistics that I just pulled out of my butt, but it's probably pretty high. All right. So in other news, if your computer is doomed, but at least you want somewhere to put your butt that's comfortable, then there's always Need For Seat. Need For Seat USA sells quality ergonomic computer office and PC gaming chairs to the US and Canada. And they now offer embroidery. Check that out. Linus Tech Tips. Luke at Float Play Media. You're going to need a new one. It's custom embroidery on many Maxonomic chair models in the Pro Gaming, Office, Office Comfort, and Excel series sections. So the embroiderer is in-house. So the turnaround time is just a couple days. And they've got a preview tool on their website that allows you to type in a name and get a preview image. Logo embroidery can be requested through email at support at NeedForSeatUSA.com. And honestly, these guys are awesome. We've been working with them a long time. And I've had my butt sitting on one of their chairs for over three years now. Yeah, a long time. And it is exactly like the day I started using it. They do. I will definitely give them that. They have quite the durability going. The foam that they use is like, I forget what they call it. It's like a cold something, cold molded foam or whatever. The point is that it doesn't just sink in and then sink in more. And then eventually, like my Costco chair that I threw away, eventually you're just sitting on a piece of plywood. Yeah. It's like my current situation at home. So for Black Friday, they're offering 75 bucks off the purchase of any MaxNomic chair with code TURKEY75, all caps. Valid until November 29th. So go check that out. Oh, oh, oh. You know what? Let's do G-Fuel first. Okay. I'm going for the no look pass. You ready? Yeah. Oh, did I? Was I going to hit myself? Was that a good throw? Yeah. Okay. Hold on. You ready? Yeah. You ready? Yeah. You ready? Yeah. Oh, okay. Why are you freaking out? Well, I don't know. I thought maybe I was throwing them. They were all like perfect. They all landed like right here. Oh, okay. Yeah. I was so confused. I was like, what are you scared of? I felt like I kind of went too far up and it was going to come right down and hit me on the head anyway. Okay. G-Fuel is the sugar-free powdered energy drink mix currently available in 18 flavors created by Gamma Labs with the goal being to create an alternative to sugar-loaded canned energy drinks. So mission accomplished because there's no sugar and it doesn't come in a can. Right? Yeah. No. I mean, if that's the mission. That makes sense. Anyway, how it works is you choose your fuel. So you select your drink mix. You get delivery and it's fast. They ship it to you. You add water. You mix it into a glass or shaker cup filled with 16 ounces of water and enjoy. Boom. So you can also add a few cups, boxes containing single serve packs or these single serve packs themselves. There are actually a lot of people here at the office that as far as I can tell, if they stopped eating food altogether, would still have enough energy to get through the day because they drink so much G-Fuel. I'm talking about you, John. Yeah. John Colton. Yeah. Colton drinks so much G-Fuel. It's Ed still? I'm pretty sure Ed still drinks it. I'm pretty sure yeah, but the thing with Ed is I'm pretty sure he would drink anything That gives him a rush. Yeah Nothing against G fuel. It's just that I don't think he's that big It's like turpentine would help them work faster So for Black Friday, they're featuring a buy one tub get one free sale.

I Was calling it koozie before because I didn't actually know what it was It's one of those things that goes on your drink that keeps it from keeps it warm or cold as it were insulating sleeve so I Don't think it's in the dock, but yeah the chat is what do you want us to talk about? I'll use a light term of aggravated because we're not talking about net neutrality. Yeah, ah okay. I don't see it in the dock No, it's not in there um Honestly the reason that it's not in there And the reason that we haven't made a video Is that we already made a video? We've already talked about it before I Mean the the cynic in me is kind of looking at everybody jumping on this bandwagon going like Like are you just out for views like why do you only care now when it's trendy? Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's not like that, but I just posted a video in the twitch chat It's more than trendy right now. It's like coming up again. I know well. I know that I know that the debate is sort of on right now But here's the problem, so we already did that video that I posted two years ago It's quite good, and there's nothing that we didn't already say Net neutrality is good. You should care if you don't understand that for whatever reason then I'm sorry we can't yeah, basically if we we can't do this because we're in Canada, and it's not an issue up here because you know But if you're in the States you should be contacting local representatives. There's what's the website? Fight for the net or something Sorry this wasn't a prep topic Fight for the net battle for the net calm Funny because it's battle net I'll drop it in the chat. There's a contact them button which I'm pretty sure if you put in like your your information it like helps you Reach out to congressman congressmen and representatives and congresswomen and congress Whatever they identify as yes, we didn't assume anything. Yeah, sorry You know we're treading on a sensitive topic right now, so let's make sure we're yeah Yeah, let's make sure nobody about nobody melts, but this website is a good Resource for a ton of different stuff if you're looking for more information on it reddit is So okay, we've got some people upset because I basically said anyone who doesn't understand that it's good needs to get themselves Re-evaluated I think there are better ways to fix the internet than through regulation. That's nice, but the problem is that This regulation exists to fix other regulation So unless you want to actually deregulate which nobody's calling for Unless you want to actually deregulate unless you want to actually deregulate then Nothing can be done And if you were to actually fully deregulate everything it would create a whole host of other problems as well Because one of the only reasons that smaller ISPs and smaller telcos Can exist is the fact that this copper that was in Canada? I believe it was So here in BC. I'm more familiar with our local stuff You'll have to forgive me, but this is one of the reasons we don't talk about it too much Yeah, it would have been BC. Tell back in the day Yeah And they were the ones who owned all the copper because they were the ones who existed Before the friggin internet and only certain people are allowed to put down copper because you're using government land to put the copper down I mean the last thing that you want is like I've been to developing countries where the telephone poles are Literally just covered in every random wire and people like I saw people You know they're not wearing safety vests. They don't have a truck with a logo on it They're just like up there like running stuff. Yeah, that's actually a problem, too It's a huge problem you have to regulate this stuff There is no removing all the regulation and the regulation that is net neutrality Exists to counter the other regulation that has to exist that creates Unfair advantages for certain companies That's all there is to it. There is no debate The only debate is who's getting paid So you go So there's people in chat that are like you clearly haven't a clue what G pies intentions are no we know what's going on. We're on your side Stop it Like I don't like honestly we are on your side because it actually does matter like even though we're Canadian and this doesn't Theoretically affect us it super does does because so much of our infrastructure and the world's for that matter is Reliant on what the regulations are for the internet in the United States not to mention that the Canadian government has a long and proud history of Just kind of looking south at what's going on and kind of going okay that looks all right Apparently that won't happen at least with our current guy. Yeah, but you know there's always What happens next who knows who gets elected next yeah and stuff? So there you go your Canadian. I'm out later Anyway, so there that's all I have to say on it. Do you have anything? Well like okay one of my big things is a lot of people bring up the idea of like internet festivities and like When you go to battle for the net calm there's like a fake. Oh loading icon at the top and stuff That's not the only problem In countries where this isn't a thing where they don't have net neutrality set up there's There's been some screenshots going around of like I don't remember which country it was but The second you try to open a browser it redirects you to a page and it's essentially a micro transaction store for being able to access websites And you get like a certain amount of data or a certain amount of time on a certain website And you have to buy it with like coins that you have for that website It's it's it's beautifully Garbage and the issue that comes up with this is like I had to scroll down the list for a while to find Facebook Messenger Because there's so many websites that people use these days that are super mainstream And including games and all these other kind of things that you don't realize That some of the things that you use might fall down below other stuff and someone says tunnel bear. Yeah, that's great Except that VPN traffic works because the ISP lets everything through The ISP know that it's VPN traffic They just have to let it through if it's now on a whitelist system They'll just block all of that so get owned or slow it down or slow it down. Yeah in some situations though You can block it. Yeah, they'll go. Oh, you're encrypted. I don't like it. Yeah, I don't know whatever it is I don't care. I don't know with the American specific version if they'll be able to block websites But like there was an issue up here, and I don't know what actually happened with it, but Telus a local ISP Telus decided to block the website I can't support you guys anymore if you support Pi We're not what did we say that sounded like are you high not in favor of net neutrality? I know it's legal in a lot of places, but hold off on the reefer for a moment they're like Like I don't know where that came from unless you're super stoned There's there's issues with small business right now. We are in like Amazon's North America I know Facebook is huge. I know Apple is huge. I know all these other companies are huge We are in Amazon's North America and Amazon is gobbling up small business There's a lot of small business that still exists on the web whether that's brick-and-mortar that do a lot of work through the web Or advertise through the web or have a website where people can see all their stuff Whatever all of that is going to get less and less and less and less and less and less and less and less and less and less Traffic if it's slow and crappy or if you have to pay to access it than other things this will extremely damage small business Yeah, so you Apparently I'm faking it. I don't know what I'm faking It's not an orgasm though if I was faking that you'd know It would be really convincing all right. Let's move on to the next topic shall we you not know that Well, no you'd know that I was Doing something right yeah, you know something was going on the original article here There's there's I don't I don't like the obscene pitchforking. I like I don't understand at all how anyone thought that we were defending Like what are you doing? Fight with reason guys come on Yeah, well when you don't have it I'm happy that you happen to be fighting for the same side that I'm on but like come on use Use your brain a little bit Okay Okay, fine last thing I'll mention is that some people were pointing out that those Portugal screenshots were a little bit Miser representative of what was going on and I think you but actually changes nothing Yeah about any of this and I'm not super surprised because the only answer is Treating the internet like a utility yeah That's the only one Okay, online's are great So BGR teases a potential galaxy X a bendable phone Wow also one thing that I want to say on that topic Oh, man, if if that Portugal screenshot thing is I'm eating more of this fake don't share it Fake news stuff is not gonna help your argument. Yeah, it doesn't help anybody It hurts your argument. You're gonna get caught you're gonna look like an idiot Anyways moving forward so the galaxy X Looks nothing like the iPhone X so that's cool What we have here in terms of leaks we know that it's supposed to be bendable Yeah, I've been trying to work on this for years now bendable displays have been considered kind of like a Sort of a holy grail of futuristic technology. Yeah bendable battery that like yeah The the bendable display we've seen at like weird conferences You've seen people doing it for a while the bendable battery dress That's that's very interesting for me. So support page went up on Samsung's website for an SMG 888 and zero No information on what it is, but that model number has been associated with Galaxy X many times in the past It already received various certifications from regulators Wow including the Wi-Fi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG so The rumor is that the device will be so complicated to manufacture That it might see a limited launch before Samsung is able to produce it on mass So this is something Samsung's done before just doing a limited release in South Korea for example and then figuring out When if ever to roll it out to the rest of the world at a later date I personally think that this is going to be a really interesting device because for the first time in I Don't know the last Okay You'll have to forgive me if I've missed a bunch in between because there was there have been big chunks of time when I haven't Really paid much attention to mobile phones, but the last time that I remember a phone That was really sold based on being a fashion statement aside from Apple because Apple does position their phone that way But they do it subtly like they have they try to sell you FaceTime or that you're gonna Do epic kickflips or whatever and your friends are gonna record you in slow-mo It's gonna be like awesome, dude like they it's more of like a lifestyle brand whereas the last phone that I remember that was really about How cool it looks and how cool you're gonna look when you use it was the Motorola razor? Yeah, yeah, that's not that phone was absolutely about that was what it was all about I don't think anyone actually cared about any other part of it No, so it was a pain to use it was like actually too thin. I never had one Yeah, so I never had one either but like I touched one. I was like, yes, it's super dumb. Um, so this Since then would be maybe if not the first the best example I've seen because I don't think this thing is gonna be powerful I don't think it's gonna be powerful and I think it's gonna have to not be powerful because they're gonna have to make Compromises on things like battery life I don't think the display is necessarily gonna be the highest resolution because this brand new manufacturing technology We're talking about so I think this is gonna be the phone that is pure fashion statement and it's going to finally happen where phones have gotten Powerful enough for most people that you'll be able to produce something with very mainstream specs and that's what I think this will have that Is just cool and that's kind of that's actually quite exciting So I was talking to someone about this. I think just literally last night about how phones have gotten to the point. We're like they're all Pretty much the same There isn't really a lot going on like like the craziest thing that happened was Apple released like a really weird phone and Like they like turned the camera thing which was a fashion thing related to razor like you were talking about earlier Or the the what was it called? That really thin phone the Motorola razor Motorola ready. Yeah, okay I was just making sure that didn't pull that name in a bit But like it's it's it's mostly a fashion phone with like weird face recognition stuff And that's not that surprising and Samsung going in a similar location is is actually with the same name, which is hilarious Is it's probably good because in terms of internals there's not a lot going on. They all the same freaking processor They're all running the same freaking stuff It's become boring the battle for the inside of the phone. Mm-hmm Yeah, it's um, I've reviewed a lot of phones in the last couple of months and they've all been pretty similar Yeah, so so doing something interesting with the body of the phone is so cool. That's awesome That's like exactly what they should have moved into next. You know, it's not awesome this segue into something. That's not awesome I'm posted by dr. McIntosh on the forum. The original article is from qz.com. So that could have been a good segue Except I ruined it. You just intentionally trashed it Google admits that they've been collecting Android users locations Even when location services are disabled. Oops What oopsie-daisies So they've said That they didn't use the location data. They collected using this service They never used or stored it and the company is now taking steps to end the practice as a quote By the end of November Android phones will no longer send cell tower location data to Google At least as part of this particular service, which consumers cannot disable so What was going on for a while was even if you disabled location services didn't use apps and didn't have a SIM card Android phones would be gathering your location data based on cell towers and transmitting it back to Google and this is since the beginning of 2017 So basically at this point like we're gonna continue talking about this but at this point from from the Topic that we haven't talked about yet Which is the uber topic where they like leaked an obscene amount of user data Didn't report it for like a year and paid hackers to cover it up to this doesn't look nearly as bad as that No, well Are you sure? Well, okay If we believe Google's story about this then it's not nearly as bad as that because what they're saying is in January this year And and it's only been this year and they're saying that okay been an entire year They're saying that we looked into using cell ID codes as an additional signal to further improve the speed and performance of message delivery We never incorporated into the network sync system. So the data was immediately discarded and Okay, so like I don't know if I trust that but sure so yeah The idea was they were using the addresses of multiple towers to triangulate a phone's location something that they apparently weren't doing before Basically what I was saying is if you want any form of privacy Just don't use electronic devices and don't know anyone who uses electronic devices. Yeah, or that are connected to anything. Yeah If they're not connected to anything you're good. Yeah, so why don't we get into the uber thing? Yeah, oh my god, this is actually kind of trash Uber paid hackers to delete stolen data on 57 million people I mean at least they at least they paid the ransom. This was posted by blue chinchilla eating Dorito on the forum and The original article here is from Bloomberg. What garbage? What wall is it just me or has did did uber not? position themselves as like the good guy new age company that was gonna like Be like better guys and all the taxi That into the garbage can and then threw gasoline on top of it and then threw like TNT on top of it and then threw all that into a furnace and we're just like yeah That's basically what you were doing. I thought but okay So there's a lot of people really excited about being able to tip through uber I'm not and you want to know why because I thought the entire point of this I thought the entire point of uber was that we were doing away with the things that were wrong with the cab industry And that's that you never know how much to pay Cabbies are jerks if you are if you don't tip them really well I legitimately had my bags thrown on the ground because I didn't tip enough And I thought that they were supposed to pay the drivers adequately such that that wasn't going to be an issue anymore And see I didn't think the idea was that they were gonna like nickel and dime the drivers to the point where then they go Oh, you know what? Actually the boatloads of money that we're making oh, you know what? We're not gonna give those to the driver. Could you top them up actually you you the passenger? Like yeah, yeah, why don't you top them up? Let's go. Let's do it the way the cabbies did it Are you kidding me? And it drives me kind of nuts because I really liked that as well I like not having to deal with that, but I would have rather paid more natively And not had to tip me too Because now I'm in this weird situation where I I know that they're not getting we don't have uber here So I literally only ran into this once since the tip update came out. Yeah, so it's not cheaper anymore at all No, and you still have to tip and you have to tip and like you legitimately feel like a jerk if you don't tip Yeah, because they're not getting paid enough Which is just like a thing uber drivers are not paid very well So what? Can you just charge me more so I don't have to do that? Oh Like Tipping is actually dumb. I hate tipping You know I want everyone to make the right amount of money and I want to pay you more for things And I want to not tip it's the same thing with loot boxes like this is a not great opinion I wish games cost me a lot of money Like this is a not great opinion. I wish games costed more Really? The this is a super unpopular opinion. Tell me more. I'm I I wish I had popcorn at this point But I'll settle for more jerky. Yeah, because like everyone in the chat is currently loading firearms to attack me Yeah, you're still done. Price of games haven't gone up in a long time Yeah, I think a SNES game was about 50 bucks. It's they've been pretty similarly priced for a long time and that was 20 Wow, and there's arguments for the other side like you don't even sell freaking physical games anymore So it should probably cost less. Yeah, but there's a lot of risk involved with making a game Yeah, it's also more expensive to make a game. It's also way more expensive way more To make a game these days Indie studios are taking huge risk on games and then are not expected to charge more than like 20 dollars for a game Yeah, because a lot of indie games are like 15 25 bucks Um, I would and to compensate these things and you can all say whatever the heck you want You can tell me i'm wrong. You can tell me no digital distribution is cheaper. You can tell me no There's more gamers now you tell me no there's there's more mainstream gamers now meaning that a lot more games are being purchased in general Yeah, sure. Say whatever you want They're compensating for the fact that they're not increasing the price of the game with loot boxes and other weird crappy things like cosmetic purchasing Okay. Now with certain games in my opinion to make sense. Sure. League of Legends is free. You can buy skins. That's great Sounds good. Have fun League of Legends and games like that that are free games that sell some skins I don't really care about that with something like destiny 2 In destiny 2 I paid full price for the game I have to pay for every freaking little Damn dlc thing that they want to release for every single little boss impeach luke that they want to keep going And there's the bright engram store where you buy randomized loot boxes that give you Cosmetic items back in the day You would play the game to get the freaking cosmetic items and it actually dilutes from the game This is something that I don't think isn't that what we called it questing? Yeah In in most games that has something like that you would you would go on a quest in wow You would get the new cool item. You could wear it around town. It sounds good What this actually hurts is it literally makes it so that there isn't as much to do in the game right because like Killing the butcher a bunch of no the butcher is a bad example because he always drops the cleaver. But yeah Whatever someone else who drops A special drop like once every 20 times you want to go there and you want to do it with your friends You want to get your friends on to go play it because you want that item now You can just buy it that literally takes content out of the game essentially Because you're not going to do it as much because you don't care because you could just spend two dollars to buy it And that two dollars is probably worth your time. So you might actually do that Cosmetic items and loot boxes are Cancerous literally they're eating away at games and breaking them down and diluting them and making them worse Current games are worse because of the loot box systems If you've ever bought one you're the problem So there you go loot boxes are essentially tipping I don't like tipping I don't like loot boxes I would rather pay more and buy the whole damn thing and be able to experience the whole game Okay, I want to push harder. I want to get all my friends on I want to fight and push that boss in freaking uh What is it called the raid whatever in destiny 2? I did it once Twice one were already done. What what we could do? Twice one were already done. What what we cleared it like the first time I tried it. That's ridiculous What happened to that? There's no like effort that has to go into games anymore Not all games I know but a lot of them cuphead great game But then there's no I don't really care about doing it again There's no like special ship that I can get from there there's no special sparrow that I can get from there Can I pitch something sure, okay Okay One of the problems and I understand you're all gonna hate me it's, okay, they don't actually oh one of the problems that dlc solves Or that some kind of ongoing payment system solves is the That server uptime and the feast or famine nature of being a game developer Where not every game can be counter strike and still be selling literally 20 years Yeah, after it first comes out and that is a huge issue something very unpopular that I'd probably be better off Just not saying at all So Yeah, what happened was I accidentally bumped the machine which seems to be causing it to blue screen right now for some reason So it probably just needs to like take apart reseed everything put it back together anyway So I was hanging around with the monolith guys Yeah, a couple weeks ago. Yeah, and what was interesting about their story? Was that I was hanging around in a game studio? For a game that for our game studio that just released the game like a Two-year effort game just launched and there were still lots of people still employed still with jobs Okay, now hold on a second now you can think about this from the perspective of the the Individual like the the worker okay the the artist or the programmer or whatever the case may be Obviously people prefer to have a steady flow of income and Predictable employment with benefits etc etc etc and you could kind of go well You know what they knew what they were signing up for in the game industry Not too bad for them Okay, step back for a second that may all be true But what about the company one of the biggest challenges as a company is attracting talent attracting and retaining good talent if you want to have a chance in a highly competitive industry Like the games industry and you can see why this evolution is happening You need to be able to offer employment packages to people that might include free lunches or super fancy $1,200 chairs or whatever perks it is that Elsewhere in the industry companies are offering or you are going to end up with No staff the inability to make any game let alone a good one and you are going to go out of business so effectively what's happening is Whether you agree or not whether you like it or not the fact that this business model works Is turning anyone who doesn't adopt it into dinosaurs and the problem is not the workers If they have the option and if you say that you wouldn't you're either a liar or you're a unicorn okay, if they have the option to take a job that will continue and gives them lots of benefits and That they can rely on getting up in the morning and going to like, you know, think about someone like a composer You know monolith has a dedicated composer who does the music for all their games. So What do they do so they release the game and it's just like see ya I guess you better go find some other music to compose if he has the option to take the job That's see ya or the job. That's so we continues because he's still doing he's composing music for cutscenes and DLCs and All that kind of stuff, but I don't think anyone's upset with that. No what people are upset about is is the fact that this this culture of microtransactions exists and that it's that is making it so that Okay, so you're saying they should just charge more for the game in the first place But that still wouldn't solve the problem the feast of famine problem Because no business is going to forecast going Okay, we're gonna charge a hundred and thirty dollars for our game And then we're just going to keep everyone on staff and make no money for And we'll just pay out of out of our coffers for like the the year until we're like getting close to the next release and then It's crunch time and everyone will just kind of work that whole time like that's not viable. I think you could have because I think DLC being planned for because this is something that seems to trigger people is DLC being planned for before the release and it's planned for before the release because That's the way that you avoid feast or famine and that's yeah That's the way that you avoid feast or famine and that's the way that you provide people to study job And some people scream about that. Yeah, oh my god, you're releasing the game. You already have a release date for DLC That's crazy. But yeah, I Don't think that is hurting thing. I don't I don't I'm not a huge fan Of course, I would like every single thing in existence to be in the game when I buy it right away Sure, whatever, but I don't think that is ultimately that terrible What I would prefer they did was have a steady schedule of releases So I actually like the concept of what destiny's release idea is which is that DLCs over time? I bought destiny 2 With the amount of stuff that I've done within destiny 2. I am happy with my initial purchase of destiny 2. I Would like more please sir. I will buy your next DLC raid and I will fight Osiris. That sounds good That sounds like a good transaction. Thank you very much. I knew that was coming Yeah, I'm happy to pay for it. I'm happy with my initial purchase. I'm sure I will be happy with the Osiris DLC I am pissed off about the bright anagrams That's a separate thing entirely and I wish that I had more to do in the game because I wish the bright anagrams weren't there I would have been happier to pay more for the DLC that's coming up and I would have been happy to pay more for the Initial game if the bright anagrams were not in the game all the content and items that are in the brighter grams were in the game And there was mechanical processes to get those things, right? So I'm totally okay with DLC. I I loved the idea one of my favorite things ever was the battle chests for Warcraft 3 where you get the game in the expansion and If you went at the beginning and you bought the base game then frozen throne comes out and you're like, oh my god It's so good. That was awesome. It doesn't make as much sense anymore because While I love that model and I would prefer that model. It doesn't make as much sense anymore It's very difficult thing to pull off something too that I think we're all forgetting is how pissed off we were about that model back When it first showed up with brood war I wasn't okay A lot of people but a lot of people were a lot of people were pissed off that all of a sudden they had a copy Of a game Starcraft that wasn't compatible with in multiplayer with all their friends and it was the same well, okay That's that's pretty poo But a lot of a lot of studios have fixed that you can have the newer Multiplayer is on its own layer and then single player is on his own layer I do agree with that there's been trash at every stage and we've been mad every time Yeah, I think this is a new tier of trash in my opinion probably I think getting old well Yeah, that's true, and I've thought about that too though But this is the first time that it's reduced the content that there is in a game Right okay, that is directly there is actionable reasons Why these cosmetic items because there's there's no way you're gonna look at a game like destiny 2 that is extremely about What your character looks like and go there? Really isn't that many cosmetic options when you make destiny 2 you would have made that game with a lot of cosmetic quests and weird things Maybe an option for this thing that's kind of tedious and annoying and most people aren't gonna do it But then this one dude is gonna go know what this is gonna be my thing I'm gonna have the watermelon colored armor that requires you to Kill these one dudes a whole bunch for whatever reason and no one else is gonna do it and everyone to look at me And think that I'm cool because I did it That's content That that's being able to show up when you're in your buddy's fire team, and he goes oh wow cool You got that thing you got the hand of Ragnaros you killed rag so many times that you got the hand of Ragnaros. That's amazing That's super. It does no damage, but it looks cool Not directly lining up, but like there's there's there's there's no I know my point is just like sometimes you go And you get a unique item just for the sake of having it not because it's yeah Yeah, like like the idea of transmogs I was talking about this the other day the idea of transmogs drives me crazy to transmog is the idea of being able to Take an item and make it look like another item Okay that in my opinion dilutes the idea of the original item yeah and Makes it easier for people to digest the idea of just paying money to look cool Instead of playing the game to look cool. I think transmog is like the gateway drug Of just paying money for something to look cool because you can just make things look like whatever you want and the game Becomes less about actually working and getting the cool things Yeah, I don't know There's there's situations in games like destiny 2 and lots of other games where you can look at something like the raid or look At something like another piece of content and go there should be more here There should be another objective there should be a side thing there should be whatever so that I can get this other item that Should be in this game and probably is just hidden behind a paid box And it sucks when that objective that goal that mission that quest that whatever is no longer in the game Because someone probably thought about it it might have even been there on a certain build of the game And then someone else went yeah, that's a cosmetic item. We can probably get away with putting that in the loot box. Oh Makes me sad Elon Musk won a bet yeah original article from ours technica He said he would finish the world's largest battery installation in a hundred days, or it was free It has 100 megawatts capacity a world record and they finished it on time 100 sorry 100 and 100 megawatt 129 megawatt hour battery installation so huge capacity and huge power delivery capability and it's the largest megawatt rating for any grid connected battery installation in the world and One of the snarky asides in the article is that this may be the first time that Elon Musk has ever delivered anything on time Let alone early so you have to make them bet that's that's the whole we figured out because apparently Musk said it would have cost Tesla 50 million dollars or more if the company failed to meet the deadline, so I guess he was like alright sure let's do it That's pretty cool Pokemon go creator raises two hundred million dollars ahead of a Harry Potter game launch you're gonna play it don't sigh Don't even like don't even pretend to to be like Oh those silly people who are gonna play Harry Potter game shut up I To be fair I did drop off of Pokemon go pretty quick. Yeah, but that's not what I said. I said you're gonna play this Yeah, probably The biggest thing that annoys me about yeah, Niantic Niantic Whatever you want to call him is that everything seems so half-assed like I used to play yeah What was it called Ingress? Yeah? Yeah? I used to play Ingress a lot back when like not that many people played Ingress I even played Ingress when the game hadn't released in South Korea I played Harry Potter so the only people playing it were travelers. Harry Potter was cool You're like and Edzel and I had like go hipster That's sad Edzel and I had control of like most of soul it was it was pretty freaking cool But I remember even playing that game. I was like wow this is really you know I'm really just clicking the button and Tapping it a bunch and nothing else really happens. It's it's all super randomized There's really not a lot of substance to this game really cool concept though, so I'm gonna keep trying Hopefully they update it and hopefully it's cool, and then Pokemon go came out It was like wow they really just skinned the previous game. There's really not a lot going on here People apparently don't believe we're live because the time on the computer is wrong. Oh What is it? That's the right time wait what yeah? I don't know they're just drunk a lot of people don't understand that Canada's really big I get that question all the time. What time is it in Canada? I'm just like oh man That's not a thing cuz you know what you know what not making matters We should we should just do it. We should have a Canada times. Google is not helping Okay, because if you Google what time is it in Canada? Oh my god you actually get see this is the problem Canada is they really do think they are the only Canada yeah So it's just like I'm surprised. It's not Toronto though But yeah, they're just what time is it so that's our capital. That's what time it is in our capital in not our capital It is literally three hours earlier. Yeah, and then if you go further east it gets literally an hour and a half later Yes, that's right. We have four and a half times And that is without some island in the middle of the Pacific America Yeah, we don't even need that to have four and a half time zones. Okay. Yeah What happened the states for I think I'm not entirely sure I think Eastern is as Eastern as it goes Yeah, Pacific to Eastern all right because we have But they have this year called does Alaska reach out into another one. I'm not sure it might yeah, I Think does anyone count Alaska? I do free shipping on something. It's lower 48. I Mean they only count the lower 48. So why am I expected to catch?
