 What? So we left and we came back and we're still so early! It's still Thursday! No! Whoa! Oh my god! We're a whole day early! Yeah! It's amazing! And we have water. That's cool. Right? This is the earliest the WAN show has ever been. Yeah. If we were super popular YouTubers I would just smash this on the ground and then get tons of more views. It's not a thing now. It's a thing, yeah. What? Why? But we are just very not super. We're just mostly popular. Yeah. The whole princess bride thing. Mostly popular and ridiculously on time. Dead or mostly dead. We're mostly dead memes. So we are taking the longest long weekend of all Linus Media Group time. Minus me. Except you. We're taking Friday and Monday off so we decided to stream on Thursday so that everyone except Luke who works at a different company now, good for him. Except in this case. Never time off. Where it's bad for him. Yeah. And you're still working the Friday right? Yep. Monday off though? Monday's a stat isn't it? Not everywhere. Oh right. National holidays. Half of my full time force is not in Canada. Right. So there you go. What national holiday is it? I don't know. It's something. I don't know. It's a stat though. Is it? Isn't it? Is it even? Have I been fooled by all the other staff? I'm pretty sure it's a stat. Canada stat. We're horrible Canadians. I'm pretty sure it isn't Good Friday. Hold on there. 16 more rows. Oh god. Valentine's Day. How is Valentine's Day a stat? Civic holiday. What does that mean? Oh it's BC Day. Ah BC Day. And then they all have like their own. So that's why we don't know. So Quebec doesn't get the day off. BAM! Oh hey! I didn't even realize that. Yeah. So yeah we're just literally all working. It's not even national. There you go. So I can't take the day off because no one else is. And that's stupid. Well it's rough. But I don't have to like come to work so I can sit in like my boxers at home and just work on full plane. So it's kind of like that's nice. Yeah. So it's like casual day. Yeah. Yeah except you can actually just have your junk hanging out. Yeah. Cool. So it's like very casual day. Okay. So here's something that I want to know. Yeah. And we'll get into. Okay. No hold on. Let's introduce. No no we'll get into the topic. This is very important. Okay. All right. Okay. Now we all know PC culture. Right. Okay. Right. Everything's politically correct now. There's no you can't. See I wasn't actually sure if you're talking about personal computer or politically correct. No no. Of course I'm not going to ask obvious questions. Okay. Okay. And you can't discriminate based on anything. Do I have something on my head? But what if the person's a nudist? Okay. So if you had a dress code if you had a cat but hold on. Hold on. This is what I want to know. This is what I want to know. Okay. Look if you had a casual Friday. Okay. And you did not have a company dress code which we don't. And somebody showed up naked and there was no policy in place. Is it discriminatory? It's still technically a government sanction though. Is it? Well yeah because it's indecency. Oh it is. Yeah. There's a law for that. Indecency. Yeah. And then there's the flippy back and forth law thing where like certain like in most areas I think women can't have their tops completely off because you can't show your nipples. But then in some places you're allowed. Like on Twitch. Yes. But then I believe in Vancouver you can. Because of what's-her-face. Linda whatever her name was. There was some like nudist protester who was always all over the place talking. And then they were just like whatever we don't care. And then I think in New York it's the same thing I think. I'm not really sure. And there's other areas where it's okay. Okay. Okay. So like I think you'd be able to like just have bottoms on in most places. Got it. I don't know. Fascinating. I don't actually. So we've actually got a lot of great topics for you today. Tons of them. Competition is great for the industry. Nvidia claims 3X performance with a new driver update for the Titan XP. I wonder what prompted that driver update. Just to be clear because I really hate when these things are vague because it drives me freaking insane. It's 3X performance in specific applications. Not games. AMD clarifies why Threadripper uses four dies on the chip. What else we got? GTX 1070 killer. It's a killer. RX Vega 56 benchmark. Leaked. Again. Like everything else from every other company. Because everything gets leaked. Because that's advertising right now. It leaked. It leaked all over the place. Oh my god. Did you do that on purpose? It's really odd so I wouldn't be surprised. I actually am feeling pretty good right now with the ice water down the front of the shirt. There you go. RX Vega prices and bundles have been confirmed. Leaked confirmed. Leaked confirmed. Welcome to the news. Firmly leaked. And it's intro time. It's going to cause some firm leakage on my side. I wish I wasn't drinking. I wish you weren't drinking at work too but what can I do about it? Casual front Thursday. Casual Thursday. Yeah. No I don't drink. You drink water. Yes. Cool Master. Squarespace. Savage. Leaking jerky. No that's not what it is. No. Oh boy. You know what? This is going to be a fun show because it has. Great show. It was a short week. Yes. But it was already a hell of a week. I shot my first. My brain is like fried. Cinemagraph this week. Oh those are cool. Yeah. What were you doing? Okay. So. What was going on? Hopefully none of this is embargoed or anything. Okay. But MSI actually sent a photo crew out here from like I don't know the kind of director the art director was from Sweden and she was hilarious. She was like the most stereotypically Swedish woman I've ever met with like the hair and the like curly thing and the flower and fricking everything. She was delightful. And you know what? She came with complete instructions and didn't fall apart in two weeks. Go figure. There you go. Go figure. Anyway. So she had me. They actually used a lot of our equipment which was cool. It made me feel very professional that like. We had these things available. Yeah this baller photo crew that travels around the world you know doing professional shoots and stuff was like oh yeah that's pretty good equipment. Maybe we'll use that. They even used our green screen which was pretty cool. Yeah. So they had me set up in front of the green screen. And they had me do like these like these little like actions like I was supposed to be like. Like looking off to the side and like because the rest of the frame will be still. And if you're not familiar with what a cinemagraph is it's really cool. I can try to pick them up while you talk. Yeah if you want to grab a couple is your screen sharing working. Yes it is. Oh fantastic. So most of the frame is still but then selectively there's a little bit of motion. So it's actually an MSI here. I'll flip over to you. So this is a little bit of motion. So it's actually an MSI here. I'll flip over to you. So there you go. So she's still the wall still but the but the bubbles blow which is which is pretty cool. There's another really cool one. If you go down this one's really good. This one's really good. Yeah. So the mug steams but everything else is everything else is completely. It's not like like nothing in here would naturally move but it's not like there's mostly no movement. There's actually none except for the steam. Yeah. So what's supposed to go on in this one is I'm supposed to have the MSI infinite a gaming PC like hovering under my hand like some wizard wizard stuff. And then I'm supposed to like look at it and then like slightly glance to the camera. But everything about me will be maybe still or maybe they'll put a little bit of our movement to like be manipulating this like spinning PC. And yeah I don't know. It was like an hour of it was an hour of shooting with just me and then they had like another two hours with the system and with they're actually going to do it in our workshop set. So I'm not going to be in like some weird location or something. So here's a here's another example. It's loading loading. Wow. This is not a great way to go Twitter way to go Twitter. But this is a razor cinemagraph. Yeah. So the guy doesn't move but like the colors change. Oh whoops for on me. Except it just keeps like loading and freezing because yeah I don't know either Twitter or our Wi-Fi. So it's like that but better. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty much. Sweet. But they're cool. So that was fun. What were you up to this week. This week. Wow. Wow. I hired someone I thought I got and then like didn't really get but maybe still he's going to mess me message me later a domain thing. Have you heard from him about it. Not heard from him. He said he's going to check his email but he hasn't done it yet. So we'll see. What do I do. I was very busy but I'm trying to remember everything that I did. Figured out some weird stuff with some tax things figured out that maybe we have to go to America balancing the pros and cons of just straight up moving to Quebec. There's been a lot of was been a lot of weird stuff. You'll have to speak French. No, I can't. This will have to speak. Lordy. They will hate you. Yes, especially because my last name I will actually be lynched anglophones that move over there and like straight up are like hello. Bonjour. I would like to order waffles. You're right. The waffles like no, they're going to hate you. I'm going to have to I'm going to have to like get all my food delivered from Amazon or just buy it at Costco and literally never say a word. I've gotten through certain foreign countries that way but it's like pretending I'm mute and just being like I know how all this stuff works and just like being obvious about things and then just never talking and just it works. Okay, back. No. Oh my god. But like yeah okay seriously right now. And there's some theories and a prime actually has a very big English you are stupid English people that line is tech. Yeah, some of you do. Yeah, if you go to Montreal, sure. Yeah, but you make your way out into the burbs and it's a whole other story. Yeah. So, I've been looking through resumes and a very, very large, like 7580 85% of the strong resumes are from Montreal or Quebec or Quebec City or or Verdun or wherever. There's quite a few different areas but it's all in Quebec, to some degree, a huge percentage of it. Interesting, not even just programmers a lot of different talent that I'm looking for seems to be over there. And a prime speaking ones are moving to the states to make more money theory is the francophones don't want to move. Oh, I hate a cigarette, a really long one. So like, like, really good programmers from other parts of the country that are English main speaking right either like move to the states, right, or everyone else moved to the state so they stay here and get paid ludicrous amounts of money. Right. Fascinating. All right. Yeah, I don't know pre recorded. Yes. No, we are actually very live right now we were thinking of spoofing you guys and just playing this on Friday and then we were like, YOLO, whatever. Yep. All right, so, um, should we do an actual tech topic here. I mean we can I mean this one's pretty interesting Maz underscore settings on the forum was the original poster for this. The title is that supposed to be max settings. Right. I don't even you know what maybe it's like maybe it's a Star Wars reference. Okay, but isn't that maz, which doesn't make any sense, but you know what, just whatever. Did I just correct you on a Star Wars thing. We have very much and very deep Star Wars knowledge. I know. None of it is cannon anymore. All right. You want to talk Grand Admiral Thrawn. Mary Jade. Fine. Yeah, he's like, Grand Admiral Thrawn is cannon. Is he cannon. Yeah, shut up. He got brought back in. Oh, yeah. The new animated series rebels has like, is that that storyline. Grand Admiral Thrawn. Thank goodness because like, out of all the like legions of Star Wars writers Timothy's on it's got to be. So he's super stoked right now because it's like a show about his character. That's fantastic. Yeah, and it's like actually really cool because it brings a more dynamic character in Star Wars universe. Did they somewhat stick to the. I see I'm. I like binge watching a show. So you haven't started it. No. Okay, got it. And I know we don't want any spoilers. But I know that he's there. Yeah. Okay. Okay. All right. And like, okay, I have heard from the writer that he really appreciates the depiction of his character. So they must have stuck with how he was. Fantastic. Well, I am stoked on that. I you know what's another one that's. Okay, I'm sorry. The books are canon. No, they're super not. Okay, I will get back to Titan X in a minute because this is more important. You know what's another really great opportunity for first for for adaptations to film is have you read the tales from the Moss Isley Cantina. No, or Cantina, whatever it is Cantina, I think. Really good. It's just a collection of short stories. In fact, I think it's from a bunch of different writers, but like some well known ones like Kevin. So it's like some early in the first Star Wars sort of. It's it's the backstories of like everyone who's in there. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, it's also that's how people know about like the doctor and stuff. Yeah, because like I know some of those like factoids, but I have that makes a lot more sense. I've been trying to figure out like what book would this be in. Yeah, that makes way more sense. Yeah, so it's actually like they're they're really good and there's such a variety from from short story to short story. Because he's in Rogue One. Thrawn? No, the the the crazy doctor guy that. Oh yeah, what's his face? The guy who's I have the death sentence on 12 systems. Yes. I mean on 12 systems. Yeah. Mac, PC, Linux, Xbox, PlayStation 4. What are you talking about? That has driven me crazy. And that that's the kind of stuff that I probably would have fixed in a special edition. Right, right, right. Fix one word and all of a sudden this sentence makes any sense. That dude is in Rogue One. It's like a weird cameo. He like slides past the screen. And there's been some controversy there because like the town that they're in blows the hell up. So everyone's like how did he make it? Or I guess no, that's after. Yeah, so it's no. Yeah, so he must have gone there and then died. Well, he has the death sentence on 12 systems. So I guess that got taken care of. But Oh yeah, so I'm okay. Okay, okay, fine. We'll talk. We'll talk about this. Basically, Nvidia posted a blog post Titan XP enables new levels of performance for creative professionals. Our latest driver available today delivers three times more performance and applications like Maya so you can create and design faster than ever before. And when you're done, you can rip through battlefield one at 100 frames per second. The best part is it's available from Nvidia.com. Yeah, that is the best part. Um, yeah, not G force experience. So it's also available there. Here's why. Okay. While I am in the game, I'm not in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm in the game. I'm I appreciate the gesture. This is why I'm no competition is a big loadable crap because Nvidia to their credit has actually done a reasonably good job with the technology available to them of iterating and driving graphics performance faster and faster and faster in basically the complete absence of any competitor over the last few years. When it comes to gaming yeah, where they have cut back and they have scaled back Especially and to be clear I have my criticisms of Nvidia the fact that we now get each generation of GPUs as two generations of g-forces with the The second the cut down card as a flagship and then we get the real one as a next generation flagship I don't okay, so I've got my issues which is super frustrating which is frustrating clear But I understand the business reasons why they're doing it, and it's not that bad They are still developing new GPUs even if that development is driven by Professional use and the data center our title is LTX 2017. Oh is it? Can you fix or do you want? Show you just take what category we're into news and talk Fridays at Pacific ish yeah, that's okay. We'll just leave it and the category shows talk shows talk show Bippity boppity done. Thank you viewer Okay, all right remember the first Titan Yeah, was actually suitable for workstation use yeah So it was actually capable of less cut down fp64 performance Compared to the gaming cards it was more like a quadro in that sense Since then not only Titans, but also quadros have not had the same Functionality enabled compared to their Tesla counterparts Yeah, and then in the case of the very high and Tesla GP 100 that one has excellent high precision performance as well So this is basically Nvidia like Re-unlocking something that they locked away because they didn't have to deal with it Which is frustrating? But also I'm glad that we have it like I'm happy it happened I'm but sad that it had this looks like a blatant response to Vega and the rumors around Vega are that Regardless of gaming performance. It looks like it's gonna be a pretty powerful professional platform Which is like weird? But cool I can also see why they're doing it You know like we have a video coming soon about AMD's Vega based supercomputer So it's one petaflop on a single rack and I mean that is between like between mining and like professional like research use AMD could probably sell more common. AMD could probably sell every graphics card. They could possibly make That's great, which is which is which is great um because they need to because they really do And I forget where I was going with that right so that's so right So it's not a huge surprise to me that that's driving their design. Yeah It's just it hasn't been very common in in those Style of cards yes All right, so let's move. Let's do one more topic And then we'll just send the show early no, I'm kidding no, we'll do ads so AMD clarifies Why Threadripper is using four dies? So this was posted by Diasyn on the forum Let's go ahead and pull this up because check that out. There's a deal It'd Threadripper this doesn't make any sense because epic goes up to 32 cores and also Sits on a very similar package with four exposed dies like this if you were to delete it So why would Threadripper also need four? Because it doesn't have an eight channel memory controller like epic does so it wouldn't need the two memory controllers per die Per die and it turns out that what's going on here is because Threadripper only goes up to 16 cores What we're actually seeing is two fully enabled dies, and then two of them are just dummies Right and these that's right, so these are supposed to help spread out the heat load According to you know what will give us more better heat dissipation to our coolers or more Yeah, evenly dissipate so instead of it being on that diagonal. It's kind of more around better for coolers a lot better for coolers and The other purpose of the two dies is actually structural so they prevent Imbalance and allow for simple cooler mounting without any chance of damaging the CPU. They are not active They're not like failed Ryzen cores or anything like that. They don't even contain working transistors So there's no hope of being able to like Unlock them or something they are just dummy cores AMD also didn't want to create a new socket for Threadripper So they like found some ways to take benefit from having these dummy core things then we're like cool sounds good Designing a socket is a fairly significant undertaking aside from electrically and it's really annoying. Yeah, not not for AMD It's really annoying for everyone else. There's this whole new platform new boards Mounting holes new mounting holes you're not gonna be able to transfer hardware as much It's gonna be harder to have stuff on hand if you're swapping stuff out and like a very high availability Many server type of situation. It's annoying for board partners. You have to make more things now It's annoying for everyone on the entire stack. Yep, and you know you look at something like USB micro B That should give you some idea how hard it is to design a robust reliable Interface yeah, and so the fewer of those that AMD has to build the better. Yeah Cool all right. Oh so sponsors Yeah, what do we got here? Sponsors oh really Cooler Master is one of our sponsors today Cooler Master featuring keyboards covered in dust Because our entire warehouse has been under construction for the last yeah, don't do that Yeah, don't do that. Why would you do that? What is wrong with you? So the Cooler Master Master keys Pro comes in different sizes with white lighting or RGB To suit your needs while the Pro S comes in white and RGB. Oh wow Well the Pro S white and the Pro mRGB are the newest additions to their lineup They complete the Cooler Master keyboard profile or portfolio wow I'm terrible at this you got it Whatever Cooler Master makes really good mechanical keyboards. They're great for typing. They're great for gaming. I have basically no complaints They've got bright LED lighting including the ability of RGB minimalistic kind of design and the interior has been completely redesigned to fit cherry MX switches as well as LEDs The master keys Pro white M and L have white LED backlighting and if you're more if you're more into a brighter clear white backlight Versus just changing your RGB one to white which doesn't look quite as satisfying Yeah, they've got bunch of different LED lighting modes macro recording and for profile keys with easy to use software basically They're good stuff. You can check them out at the link below right about yeah Cooler master comm slash product slash line slash keyboards wow we really need a vanity URL for that Yeah, oh my yeah, this one's got a detachable keyboard as well or a detachable detachable keyboard detachable Cable as well nice. Yeah, just really nice not usually usually it doesn't matter at all But if you're packing up your keyboard to take it somewhere Where there's actually a risk of damaging the connector in your bag or whatever it's nice to be able to take which I have had To do recently and it is it is actually quite nice Yeah Next up we've got square space Square space is the place to go if you want to create your own place to go Yeah with square space you can take any one of their gorgeous templates And they've got a lot of them now actually that would be legit, okay I'm just gonna I'm gonna cut you off for a second. I'll let you continue They should finish, but they should they should take that as a slogan The place to go if you want to make your own place to go it sounds kind of like like Home Depot Sort of but square space is it not it's kind of like like a home depot of websites Yeah, I don't know if I'm allowed to say that no Whatever anyway you pick one of their gorgeous templates and just for 12 bucks a month Starting at 12 bucks a month, and you get a free domain if you buy it for the year you just basically go Okay, I want pictures here text here add a menu there in the description Here add a menu there. It's all cloud-based It is super reliable and your site will look great and beautiful on any device whether it's a laptop desktop or mobile phone I've even seen them on smartwatches before Really yeah, and it was like can't be that great I mean it was a website on a smartwatch, so it wasn't that great, but for a website it did pretty good Every site includes a free online store with their commerce module They've got their logo designer They've got cover pages which lets you set up a one page presence in just minutes And you can start a credit card free trial see I've recovered that there you can start a trial with no credit card required Over its where space comm slash when then when you sign up don't forget to use our offer code use offer code When and you'll save 10% Leading us to our last sponsor Savage jerky which which I ate all the mojo after the show last week, so I have no mojo No, str. Mape you know str. Mape. No, I don't make so make bought a bunch of these yeah, even though He's from New Zealand and ended up spending like just about as much on shipping as he did for the jerky So he's a crazy guy man. We'll see what he thinks of it, and he has a crazy spice tolerance So he's gonna try some of the alright What kind of punishment do you want today because honestly most of the most of the pretty tame stuff has been eaten We do have some traditional you want some traditional you can go with tradition. I'll take it this time yes I'm going for the What oh mojo habanero? Yeah? Oh is that like the regular mojo? Okay? No, I'll take the hot one Okay, I want to try I want to try this one mojo habanero is the one where it's like I hear you pick whatever you want right in the Spice profile for me where it's good if I just don't go way too fast so three levels or three bars three bars of spice Okay, I want to try this one So savage jerky the jerky is made with the best ingredients the best without nitrates or preservatives the goal was to create a snack That's full of flavor. They definitely achieved that But it isn't bad for you. I'll go with the ghost pepper um We've got notes here about what people seem to love I like the maple buffalo bacon and I think mojo's my new mojo's really good Mojo and traditional are both really good mm-hmm And I think they're their new flavors aren't they but if you like spicy there's like ghost pepper and like Carolina Reaper I'm like all that kinds of crazy stuff I Need to wait until my first ones down yeah to get acclimated to this one, but this one tastes really good, too Oh exactly yeah, Mojo habanero also quite nice um So that's pretty much it use offer code LTT to save 10% at savage jerky calm And now I'll be eating this for the rest of the show Sorry in advance everyone which one did you have today ghost pepper? Oh the ghost pepper is brutal. Yeah, it's all right Yeah Hmm everything's fine. This one's really nice full plane um oh yeah, what do we have? Oh, no, I don't have it ready yet. Let me get ready first cool First up we've got a leak That's right Lucas has left the building Enter the building Enter this is posted by mr.. Troll over on the forum and the original article here is from tweek town AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 Benchmarks have been leaked and it looks like according to the leak it may prove to be a GTX 1070 killer Which would be good for them because the 1070 is a very nice card Is it a little bit too hot Yeah, but I'll get I'll get adjusted. I find that one like if you take it slow is really good Yeah, I'm gonna have some more after um So battlefield one has it beating the GTX 1070 Civ 6 same thing doom apparently same thing and Cod whatever I is that infinite infinite warfare, okay? I don't know why they're benchmarking that but sure sure okay anyway. It looks like it actually looks like Anywhere from 10 to even as much as almost 15% faster in some of those benchmarks So that would be great news for team red although. I don't know how much steak and doing other stock to put in this Do we know the price? 399 It is rumored to be 399 in fact. We have all the rumors for Vega pricing, and we will go through those in a minute So and okay, how much is a 1070 right now? Let's see GTX more about 450 450 yeah So the benchmarks were run at 1440p battlefield one at ultra to 6 at ultra with four times multi-sample anti-aliasing Doom at ultra With TSAA and it is rumored to be coming in at 399 now so yeah, you can get 450 usually closer to like 470 480 and some at 499 That will be pretty killer We don't have a rumor to say that We don't have a rumored release date though for though for that. I don't think So we'll have to wait and see when it actually shows up right other Prices though we do have as well, so this was posted by buck gop on the forum and This slide here leaked by WCCF tech says that it will be available August 2017 and there will be a Vega 64 a Vega 64 limited edition this we knew about this we talked about when we did our unveiling at LTX So that's with a brushed metal shroud and there will be a Vega 64 liquid cooled What else we got here that just a lighter Colored brushed metal shroud on the liquid cool. It looks like it. It might not even be lighter Right. I don't know why they went so light Yeah, nobody does silver right now Yeah, it's like they want the reference card to clash with everything Okay So here's the rumored pricing the radion aqua pack which is supposed to include the liquid card with With what probably with the rest of the equipment you need to run it. I'm assuming I have to see what's rumored um, no, but uh, but uh Vega Vega Vega Vega Vega specs specs specs reference model starts at 499 apparently for the 64 limited edition 295 watt card Wow Wow you guys I Do I do want to say if you can scroll down for a second whoa the liquid cooled one is apparently 350 watt Wow, Andy What are you doing over there, buddy? Ah Okay. Sorry. What were you pointing at? Just the fact that this is just like a Thing that's average now twelve point seven Teraflops. Yeah, that's crazy. Like I still remember when we like just barely passed one and everyone was like, oh, holy crap Wow a teraflop on a gpu Holy smoke Holy smokes So what else we got here for rumors So the bundles will apparently include discounts on select rise and CPU and motherboard combos That's select Samsung free sync displays and two game titles Wolfenstein 2 and prey 2 that's really cool The the game part is actually surprisingly less cool than the other ones, but would you pay an? extra however much for a bundle oh Wait, no, this is okay, right the but the packs aren't rumored right? We I've already made a video about that Okay, I can never tell what I'm supposed to know and not supposed to know so I do know that okay But tell me this what's your thought process on it then because it looks first time I've heard it looks like the pack adds about $100 to the card versus if you were able to just buy it standalone But then what's the discounts on the other stuff? The disk you pay an extra hundred dollars, and you get a discount on other stuff But what's the discount because if I'm gonna buy that stuff anyway? You get a hundred bucks off horizon CPU and motherboard combo You get up to two hundred dollars off a free sync display if I was gonna buy a monitor and that CPU and motherboard anyways Then you're thrilled yeah, but were you as an enthusiast I don't know because the 64 version is only gonna be available at launch with bundles. Oh really? Okay, how does this bundles thing work or packs or whatever like what are you actually buying when you buy the pack you? Just pay a hundred extra dollars, and you get discount cards. Yes, what you just get like little paper You went from thinking it's a great idea to being super mad like like that. It's amazing You just get like little paper discount cards or like in an email or something digital yeah and Presumably based on how promos like this typically worked at the retailer. I used to work at you'd probably have to use it like right away Okay So now what do you think that's just weird so the rationale as a consumer? I would just wait until I don't have to do that anymore Okay, can I explain the rationale though unless for some reason? I did want to buy that specific combination which might happen He's just now getting into PC game. I could totally see that as a thing okay, so the rationale is that they don't want? coin miners to just snap them all up and If I had to guess I would say that this is AMD's way of punishing coin miners Just charging them more since the value like the the used secondhand value of the cards will be higher than the freaking retail price AMD might as well take that money and those people won't care about monitors or games or CPU motherboard bundles and So it's their way of punishing miners and Giving an even better deal to anyone building a new PC isn't that crashing though Crashing like miners aren't buying as many cards right now. That's No, I'm not sure to be perfectly honest with you. I don't know where the whole mining scene is that What yeah, it's on the up again again All right, well apparently mining is back so so so that's the way for like a week or two Okay, so now that you know that now. What do you think I? I did it's just weird as a consumer as someone who's buying a new computer I would look at that and be like especially someone who's not into mining and has no idea what it is I would look at this setup and just be like what? the hell is going on and That's like the majority of the people that are gonna be looking at this just to be completely honest right the majority of people that Are looking at this are gonna go mining What or like I heard my friend talking about that? Why do I care? I just want to buy a graph See, I just don't get it cuz like my kids don't have graphics cards So why do miners need all these graphics cards? All right, it's like pretty high up there for bad in other news tape storage yeah, the media that just keeps on taking Um yeah, this was posted on the forum by WM groom AK the original article here is from ours, Teknika IBM and Sony have figured out how to cram 330 terabytes into a tiny tape cartridge sputtered magnetic layer lubricant and new heads enable 200 gigabit per sec excuse me per inch Density yeah per second. I was like whoa man. Yeah, that'd be some fast tape yo So this is uh Yeah, and so this would be 330 terabytes in a palm sized cartridge the world's largest largest hard drives by contrast Which are about twice the physical size of the tape are the 60 terabyte Seagate SSD or 12 terabyte? Hitachi helium filled hard drive pretty cool The largest commercially available tapes only store about 15 terabytes So when it's eventually commercialized these new cartridges will be significantly more expensive because of the tapes complex manufacturing process Likewise a new tape drive will be required, but we'd only need like two to back up our entire petabyte project Yeah, cuz there's some redundancy. It's not actually a petabyte of addressable space yeah All right, this is kind of a bummer This is posted by Morgan MLG men coffee lake so that's Intel's upcoming Rumored to be up to six core mainstream processors will apparently not not work Will not work with Z270 yeah done done Ah mind you this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's been following Intel's Processor motherboard cadence over the last few years because Z170 and Z270 same socket Okay, the chips that work in either work in both as long as there's bios compatibility It's usually two Jen's and it's usually two Jen's on the mainstream So and there was probably a significant reworking that was required in order to put a six core on the mainstream It is interesting though that right now It's not possible for people during the biggest war Intel has had in a while because they haven't had a war in a while That both sides would have to upgrade their whole platform Because right now if you if this happened a year ago You wouldn't have had to upgrade your platform right Intel fans would have been able to buy the new chips by the new six core And that would have been the excuse I don't want to move to the other side because I'm just gonna buy a chip not a whole Chip and motherboard combo. It's gonna be way cheaper for me There's no way it's financially viable for me to invest in a whole platform now. It's whole platform versus whole platform hmm, so Normal cadence or not I Think it helps AMD a lot that that's happening rumor though This won't help AMD if it's true by friendly non murdering sort on the forum That's kind of a cool name the original article here is from guru 3d. There's a rumored core I3 8300 with four cores and eight threads Which would make it basically equivalent to like a 6700 K because apparently clocked at like 4 gigahertz I don't know if this is just someone messing around with like Windows registry nonsense to get this to Show up, but it doesn't look like it because there are also Here what's oh wait no yeah, it's all it's all windows captures, so I'm not aware personally of a way to do that like off the top of my head But it seems like something that could be photo edit it like disgustingly easily, but yeah This is according to screenshots on a Chinese forum I find this very hard to believe and I would think it's more likely for it to be some weird apparently yes, it's fake Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's pretty crap But there you go. There's a rumor oh We got featured on our second ago ours technica, which was pretty sick, so I'm just want to self congratulate over that Neat and they wrote up a little kind of like write-up thing essentially a summary Yep, Jake thinks that we should have a written site to accompany our videos. I disagree I think we went down that path yep, and then we're like Wow wow this is hard, and there's no money in it yeah We discovered fortunately before we invested our whole livelihood in print Online written websites yeah that that's a bad idea yeah What else we got okay? I'm gonna. I'm yeah, I got one more topic for you Okay, so let me pitch it to you. Let me pitch it to you well Okay, let me pitch it to you while I while I go through the full plane stuff You can think about it okay, so this is a new segment that I'm gonna call what's worse so I know I've already read it. I know I know but I got I got a good Hold on hold on okay, so this kind of thing happens especially to some people, but what's worse? Dropping your phone in a public toilet. That's empty or in your own toilet after you peed in it and after you peed in it Okay now hold on in other news We have some exclusive content over on float plane that you guys will want to watch yes Tech quickie, what's the difference between parallel and serial? the fastest ultra wide gaming monitor, but at what cost We can see thumbnails too What wow that is a cancerous thumbnail look at it go? There's exclusive content mezzanine update number 12 almost there Tech quickie wire PC video game ports is so bad So bad the worst LTT the brightest monitor we've ever seen Dell's HDR display AMD let me build their new 80 Vegas supercomputer, which they actually did What else we got? More exclusive stuff LTX behind-the-scenes vlog before the show opened a lot of comments on that um What else we got here? I? Think I think this one's live already. I'm not sure July 28th. No why is hotel Wi-Fi so slow? That's a pretty good tech quickie Pippen apples only ever made console is still not on YouTube Yeah, that's still not on YouTube, so we did a reaction to Apple's forgotten game console of our longer videos mm-hmm Yeah, actually it's really long 16 or 17 minutes long as one of the rare actually featuring Luke videos Yeah, yeah, and I think there's one more that I'm missing because there's been a lot of simultaneous releases lately because yeah all the rise and thread ripper and all the Vega and all that kind of stuff, so Yeah, I think what goes up. I think there's some good stuff going up this weekend We're gonna have our unboxing from LTX of the razor toaster okay, so if you guys aren't subscribed to float plane already then I'll go ahead and copy that link into the video description for you because it's pretty sick Early access better streaming video quality and of course it helps us keep this whole show going around here, so thank you in advance Okay, so I don't think it's yeah that simple okay of a question Okay, so do you need some clarification? Yes, okay? So the public toilet doesn't have any obvious like build up in it Okay, but it's a public toilet, and you weren't what's again. This is another thing though What's the water level? Because a lot of home toilets have a very high water level and a lot of public toilets have a very low water level The phone is submerged so in either case yeah the phone submerged you got to put your you got to go You got to go above the wrist bone deep in either one It's an interesting question I think From from reading the twitch chat it seems like most people I could be totally wrong But when I looked at it it seemed like most people were saying good straw poll good idea It seemed like most people were saying public toilet Really because it's clean, but I actually not me. I actually disagree exactly and my big thing for it is very narrow amount of sources of bacteria and other junk Compared to extremely wide range amount of sources of other bacteria interesting So you're going full science on your answer here not just like oh, I'm more comfortable with my own pee and my family's pee Yeah, versus like a lot of my own pee versus trace amounts of stuff versus trace amounts of somebody else's pee and Trace amounts of a huge mix of other people's stuff right and more aggressive more Resilient bacterias might still be in there for sure Mm-hmm, but that could also be true of your own toilet agreed But it's still me it's stuff that went through me and stuff that's around me. It's just not my hand. Yeah. Yeah, it's probably okay Okay, and I would do I would do the trick where you flush it first And then you grab okay, and I would probably grab like a bunch of toilet paper And then grab it and well no no for the sake of argument You can't go get a rubber glove like you have to toilet paper is literally right there. You don't have Like you don't have a waterproof phone. You have a pixel. Yeah, okay. Yeah, you got to get in there and get it fast Yeah, I probably flush it flushing happens really quickly. Yeah, but flushing also circulates the water There's a worse chance of it penetrating a membrane or getting deeper into the pixel So it's screwed because they use cloth liners and they're like speakers and stuff instead of metal like most phones Did you know about that? No, there's people that have like reached into here to try to clean out their like speaker grill thing and torn it Oh, that's a shame Yeah, it's kind of a mess all right well We've got the results we've got I'm really excited for the pixel to am I doing that review. I have no idea. I'm down Most of you prefer what if you flush your phone down? Whoa, no you can't do that how big is Or how tiny is your phone I'm very surprised all right well. What do you think it's your question? I'm going I'm going home toilet. Yeah, I'm going pee home toilet Why though? Um for me. It's a purely emotional thing. I don't have a scientific basis You don't want to touch other people's stuff. I just I I find other people's stuff so remember. I'm coming at this as a parent Part of my daily life is touching other people's pee and poo yeah So like my comfort level with that over the last five years has gotten a lot higher But like with your own crew, but that's like with my kids. Yeah, whereas Someone else I'm just like oh man That's yeah, and like I at least know what the cleaning schedule of my own toilets Is where it's like someone else's it could look clean, but like Might be clean just cuz like a lot of people been going through there, and they take the stuff away Yeah, like I don't know man, so so that's where I'm out on that. That's where I'm out on that. Yeah All right. Well. Thank you guys very much for tuning in We'll see you again next week same bats time same No, all right on the but on Friday let the proper time on the proper channel This is the raw proper channel. Yeah, okay. Bye. Bye. All right the intro outro Bye, bye. All right the intro outro. Are you surprised by results of that? A little actually. I thought people would prefer not to put their hand in pee water. Someone said it's Friday. I guess maybe somewhere. Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday Something something something for the weekend weekend Friday Friday
