 It couldn't possibly go wrong. I'm starting the stream. Sounds good, dude. Oh hey! Do do do, do do, do do do, I don't know much, but I do know that, I know it's a wind show. Oh, I thought you were going with like meatloaf there. That may be all I need to know. So not meatloaf. Not meatloaf. No, okay. That's uh, what's her face, um, and some other guy. I don't know. Linda Ronstadt, but it's like a cover or something. Oh yeah, she's like actually kind of like pretty famous for her cover artist. Yeah. Um, alright, sorry I'm still loading up the doc, I have no idea what the topic is. My doc's up. I'm just gonna read the first four in the doc, because we don't really know what they are anyways. Twitter says that they will ban Trump if he breaks hate speech rules. Can they do that retroactively? Like how does he still have an account? Boom. Casey Neistat sold his Beam app and himself to CNN, and Netflix 4k streaming requires Kaby Lake, Windows 10, and Edge browser. You know what the problem is? And Canada wants software backdoors, mandatory decryption capability, and record storage. That's why I look so small. It's the table that was moved. Yeah, because you're- Also your chair is higher. I bet it's on the other side because I bet your chair was assembled backwards. Oh no, no it is on that side. You got this, you got this bro. I'm cheering for him. You can do it. You can do it. Is this doing anything? Yeah, it's not doing anything. Oh, does that as low as yours goes? Try lifting it. Oh, so yours just doesn't go as low because it's like a bigger person chair. Yeah. Okay, well fine. I'll just lift my chair up a bit. There we go. Yeah, this is as low as my chair. All right, we got this. Oh no, no, no, no, my chair isn't higher. No, I just lifted mine though. Oh, yeah. Now my chair is lower. Now we look like the same species at least, even if he's a larger specimen. What else we got? The reddit CEO actively altered and censored user comments. And Canada wants software backdoors mandatory decryption capability and record storage for I believe at least a year of everything you do on any service. Cool. Oh Canada. Freaking man. So don't say anything bad about anything and everything you do will always be tracked for you. Why is it going so slow? Does that seem like broken? Weird. Is the audio screwed? I have no idea. I'm sure Twitch chat is like spazzing out about it by now if it is. Everyone's like lol wtf 5 fps you suck lol freaking noobs db think they'd figure it out by now lol are you even reading this or are you just guessing I read like a couple comments and then I guess oh yeah no I see it yeah yeah yeah it was pretty accurate that's fine no problem no problem that's fine the sponsor spots work that's all that matters anyway. Hell yeah. We're gonna rename the WAN show it's just gonna be the sponsor show. I mean based on that the sponsor segment was like the most popular part of last week's WAN show anyway. We might as well just do an entire show only of sponsors. We should probably do that. This show sponsored by Canada not giving a bleep word about your privacy or rights at all as a person. No I don't want them as a sponsor. No no I mean real sponsors okay okay think about it because you know how there's like an awareness to everything there's like breast cancer awareness month and there's like Movember is there like a is there like a blatant shameless advertising celebration like is there like sellout month could we create this so to kick off sellout month we do an entire WAN show of nothing but sponsor spots. We should see if Nick could sell it. He probably could. I think Nick can sell anything. The live demonstration show. We show a live demonstration of every single sponsor's product. How would we show a live like we get a 15 minute segment and we use your product for 15 minutes on stream. We could spend 15 minutes creating a Squarespace site. That could be done. We could spend 15 minutes. We could partially disassemble a device with an iFixit kit. We wouldn't be able to finish anything but we could do that. We could like expense some stuff with fresh books. We could shave. I think it could be done. I think it could be done. What else have we got? We could make a call if we hosted in the states and use Ting. Yep and then we could make another call and use Discord. Yes yes. While you're calling people I can cook stuff with a chef steps jewel. Yeah that could be like the one that runs in the background of the entire show and then we eat it at the end. So it's like 10 minutes of preparation and then 5 minutes of eating it. Yep. So we could host the show on an Intel NUC. Hi mom you're on the WAN show. I feel like it's been a while since we've. One second. Oh boy. There we go you're on speaker mom. Oh boy. Hi Lina. Hey how's it going? It's been so long I miss you. I know I love it when you call into the show live like this without announcing it first. I know you love it. That's why I do it. What's up mom? To what do I owe the pleasure? I would need to know Luke's shoe size. Luke's shoe size. Okay now I fully understand that he wouldn't know this. But were you really expecting me to know? I thought you were in charge of him. I know his sweater size. So I can meet you halfway here. Is that your child? Yes. Hello Stephanie's child. Oh the wardrobe ladies are saying hello. Hello. Hello. It's generally a 12 mom. It can range from 11 to 13 but it's usually a 12. You set this up. You had your mom call into WAN show and ask about your shoe size just so you could talk about it. Just so you could talk about how big your shoes are. I know why you want to talk about that. I think that's semi average for like a tall dude. Linus just leave it alone. Alright thanks for calling in. Bye mom I love you. Oh wow. Alright so um. Linus just leave it alone. Oh my god that was good. Alright let's move into our first topic here. Twitter says it was good. Alright let's move into our second topic here. Twitter says it will ban Trump if he breaks hate speech rules. So this was originally posted on Quartz.com and the article is. The way it begins is great. Twitter's been fighting hate speech for years. Some would argue not very successfully. Now it faces what may be the world's most powerful troll. The President of the United States. Is the best memes. The greatest memes. Facebook has already indicated to Slate. So there's another article here from Facebook.com. Please load. From Slate.com here we go. Would Facebook or Twitter ever ban President Trump? One says it wouldn't. One says it would. So Facebook has already said they are willing to bend the rules for President-elect Trump. Twitter told Slate no one is exempt from their rules. Not even the President. And you know what I have to say to that is good for you Twitter. So Twitter has recently suspended the accounts of several leading pundits and activists from the alt-right. Which has been linked with notions of white supremacy, white nationalism and anti-Semitism. So asked whether Twitter would consider banning government officials. The Twitter spokesperson said the Twitter rules prohibit violent threats, harassment, hateful conduct and multiple account abuse. Wow. Honestly, being a person who admins a forum, you own your platform. If you want to do that, you want to do that. I'm not going to tell Twitter or Facebook how to run their stuff because I wouldn't want them to tell me how to run my stuff. And like we ban people for various reasons. But hold on a second. You wouldn't tell them how to run their stuff. But could you not make the argument that due to their ubiquity, their size, their scale, their impact. I don't think they should. Though there's been a lot of debate and I think Facebook has come out and said they don't feel like they influenced the election one way or the other. Or they didn't think that there was proof that they had. I think that's stupid for them to say something like that. That they didn't influence it one way or the other. And given their size, given their scale, do you feel like while we are not legally entitled to tell them how to operate their platform, do you feel like they have a social responsibility to do it? Social responsibility to ban him though. No, social responsibility to enforce the rules equally to all people regardless of whether it creates a PR poop storm for them. I think it depends personally because one way that you could look at it is like yeah this is banable stuff. But then he's a leader of a country where probably the majority of your users are from. So like there's being informed and knowledgeable about extremely important things that are happening in your country and then there's like Joe Blow down the block being a dick. Right. And I think whether the comments might be the same. Okay so if you're saying if someone important is a dick, they should get special treatment. How are you draining the swamp? No, that's just to spread knowledge about, it's different when it's a president. It's not just someone important. It's the president of the United States. It's like it's a, whatever, yes. It's a tier above, you know what I mean? And you need to know what's going on with your president or prime minister or whoever is the leader of your country. You need to know what's going on. I think that's an important thing. I like to be informed about what Trudeau is doing. I like to be informed about what Trump is doing. Do you like it? Do you enjoy it? I don't necessarily enjoy it but I think it's an important thing. Knowledge is important. So last week hasn't been a high point for GM Trudeau? No, it hasn't. It really hasn't. But knowing that he has said those things is important. And I would like to see that feed. Okay, so then... I think knowledge goes above not necessarily feeling comfortable all the time. So I would want to know what is being said, whether or not I agree with it. It doesn't matter. I would want to be able to see that. Okay. So, okay. I mean, honestly. So here, I've got to straw-pole this because we've got to hear from you guys. Should presidents... I think it would be hilarious if he was banned. Have, let's call it like a so-called diplomatic immunity to social media bans. Should presidents, PMs, heads of state... We're going to go, yes, no, create poll. Let's go ahead and drop this in the Twitch chat so you guys can start hitting us with these. Someone in chat is like, so basically Luke is saying make sure all politicians have a platform to say stupid bleep word on. The thing is, if they're saying all this stupid bleep word stuff, elect someone else. Or use those things to campaign against them so that your country elects someone else. I don't personally enjoy living in ignorance and hiding everything away so that I don't know what's going on, so that I don't feel bad about things that other people are saying. I would rather know what other people are saying, feel bad about it, but know what's going on more. That's me personally. Like I said earlier, I don't want to tell these platforms what they need to do. But we have a rule on the forum where you can attack us. We don't like you attacking other users. And personally, I would enforce that whether it's President Trump or not. President Trump came on the forum and was like, I would ban him. That's the way I'm going to do it. I don't feel like... But you're also saying that Facebook isn't outright wrong. I don't want them to. If I was them, it might be different. I don't want them to because I want to be able to see what he's doing as a user. Interesting. As a user, I don't care if he's making fun of me. I want to be able to see what he's doing because I care about knowledge. As an admin of the Line of Sectives forum, I don't want anyone making fun of my users or attacking different people on my platform. If they attack us, if they're like, wow, they made this video. They're such... Nvidia shills is common. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I hate these guys. Someone created a thread in the general section of the forum not that long ago in a response to mine and John's video on MacBook RAM saying that we were horribly ill informed and he was looking for other YouTube channels to go watch. I didn't pull that down. I didn't ban that guy. I didn't give him warning points or anything. It made me sad, but he was left completely alone because that's how I think we should be running the forum. So you think... Okay, so on our forum, President Trump would be allowed to attack us, but he would not be allowed to attack other users. But then... That's how I... But on someone else's platform, you would prefer that that platform not equally defend its users so that you can observe President-elect Trump's behavior as a third party. Again, yes, but I would not necessarily feel the same way if I was the person running the platform. And would you feel the same way... Because I don't want my platform to become toxic. And would you feel the same way... Because it's mine. I don't care if some other platform becomes toxic. Because bearing in mind that these are much more powerful platforms than Linus Techchips forum. Yes. Would you feel the same way if you or... Or it's great that your mom called in. If it was your mom being attacked on Twitter or on Facebook. How would you feel about Facebook not banning a bully? No matter who they are. If they were campaigning against your mother for being a cast member of, let's say, a show, for example. I think that happened, right? Yes. With... I don't remember the name of it, but there was a show. I don't remember. Some show. So, in my opinion, my mom is an extremely wonderful lady. And I truly believe that people would back up my mom, because she's a wonderful person. Oh, I'd love to believe that. I would like to have the knowledge out there that this theoretical person is attacking my lovely mom. And if someone would do that, they would be a deplorable person. But if someone came on the Linus Techchips forum personally attacking your mother, they would be banned within seconds. Nano-seconds. But on another platform... Because my mom was a user on the forum. She was not a member of Linus Media Group. Okay, I mean, I'm... So... Twitter is a platform that people very specifically use for political things and it's been set up to be very good for that. Linus Techchips is not a platform at all that has been set up for political things in the slightest. Right. It is a technology discussion community. It is not the same place. And it will be admin and moderated as such. Okay. Well, 75% of you or so say that presidents and PMs should not have diplomatic immunity to social media bans, with 25% of you approximately, about a quarter of you, saying that they should have immunity. To be clear, I respect and totally understand the people voting against my thing. And again, I would probably run the platform differently. Just as a user, I appreciate the knowledge. Interesting. Okay. I want to be able to know what's going on. Maybe it's not on Facebook and Twitter and he has some other place. That's fine. Just as far as I know, he doesn't really. He just tweets things. I don't know. That's the only place I monitor. I don't follow him so that he doesn't get more followers, even though he has so many. But like, I don't know. Oh, man. I don't actually know if it made it into the doc this week. 140 characters for politics talks. Luke dumb. That's literally what it's for. What? Some guy was like calling me dumb because it's only 140 characters for like politicians talks. Because Twit Longer doesn't exist, because putting one out of four, two out of four, three out of four, four out of four at the end of tweets doesn't exist. Because taking pictures of something and then posting it doesn't exist. And linking off to another site. And because PMs don't exist, or DMs, as they call them on that platform. So yeah, there's that. On the subject of President Trump and his Twitter followers, do you know that as the president, he can SMS the entire country, right? I don't think any president has ever actually used it. But if there was anyone who was going to SMS, because it's mostly like the network exists. This person made fun of me. Go look at her porno. SMS entire country. Emergency like information and stuff like that. That makes sense. Yeah, there's like three different things that can access it. Like things that would be extremely. Get to the chopper, that kind of thing. But yeah, President-elect Trump will have the keys to texting everybody's cell phones. Oh man, at three in the morning. Well, no, no, no. You've shown. No. See, comments like that, you show a clear misunderstanding of time zones. Because it cannot be three in the morning across the entire country. The US of A is a very big place. We're talking three different time zones. More if you count Hawaii. I was just going to say, yup, there's more. They're important too. To someone. Hawaiians. They have a really cool observatory. I mean, to be clear, I love Hawaii. I actually have never been there. Have you not been there? I went for AMD's Hawaii GP lunch. Oh yeah. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's awesome. That makes sense. Yeah, but they kind of get forgotten in the whole how many time zones does the US have. Why do you ever waste space uploading this to YouTube? Why do you ever waste time watching it? Ask yourself that question. Maybe they're not watching it. Maybe like Trump, they are specifically not following us, so we don't get any more followers. They're sitting at their computer, kind of looking at the screen like this, right? So all they can see is the chat window, and they're not watching it. They pop out the chat and then they close the stream. Yeah, the finger in the ear, the shoulder against the other ear, and they're going... I'm a keyboard warrior! I am warrior-ing my keyboard! That's what they probably look like right now. So good. Oh my god. So good. Speaking of knowing things and being informed and caring about knowledge... Original article here is from Tom's Hardware. Yeah. This is why I like to know what's going on. Because... I mean, between this and the Fidel Castro thing, it has not been a proud week for Canada. No, it hasn't. It's funny because I've been really enjoying all my smug Canadian-ness over the last little bit since the Americans elected Trump. Yeah. But I'm not having a good time this week. Where's the happy in between, man? I know, right? The beginning of this bill was not proposed by his party. But this one should have been axed by his party, and it has not been. So literally not better is how I'm going to apply that. Anyways, Canada wants software backdoors, mandatory decryption capability, and record storage, extensive record storage, for everything. So you know what's really funny is, did you also read... Because I was reading some article somewhere. Saying he was going to kill C-51? No, no, no, no. Nothing... Oh, well, he said that. Yeah. He's expanding it. No, no, no. Sorry, I sweared. Yeah, I think Dick is considered a swear in the same way that pussy is. Like, I think it's one of those... Like, it's not an F-bomb, but it's also not hell. Like, I think it sits in this awkward in-between. Right. But if President Trump can say pussy, then you should probably be able to say Dick. I'm down. I'm down. It's 2016. Say what you want. Just don't expect the government to not be able to decrypt it and look at it. And store it. So, man, I forget what I said. Right, right, right, right, right. So I had read some article about someone wanting to move like a backup of the internet onto storage servers in Canada or something, because they were worried about like President Trump or something. People don't understand. Google... The UK is a mess right now. Oh, yeah. Canada looks like it's going to be a mess. The US is, who knows? Google Canadian Spy Palace. It sounds just as amazing as it is. Just check it out. Canada, like... Canada's not doing as great as a lot of people think. Yeah, let's move up there. Oh, they're screwed. Whoops. Anyways, yeah, so last year Canada passed an anti-terrorism law called Bill C-51, which just screwed over everyone who wasn't a terrorist and was extremely easy to bypass by anyone who actually really wanted to do anything bad. Exactly like this one will be, because you can still use VPNs and stuff. It will just cost more money to get a good one. You idiots. God damn it. And it's not like VPNs are hard to like Google. It's like, how do I get away from people tracking my... Oh, wow, every single website has made a thing about using VPNs. Is Tunnel Bear a sponsor today? No, they're not, unfortunately. What country is going to be safe to tunnel through at a certain point? Well, there's like... what are they called? Bunker? Bunker, ISP, Bunker, servers, something like that. They like literally host their stuff in a bunker in, I believe, Sweden. It's where the Pirate Bay was hosted and stuff. How'd that work out for them? Pretty good. They never got the servers, I don't think. I don't think they ever got into the bunker. There's like, there's places you can VPN through. Of course you don't see. No. The government has complained, aw, about not being able to intercept communications. Oh, that's so unfortunate. And that it should be allowed to intercept, allowed to use intercept capability against some service providers. I feel so bad for you. You could use a warrant. I don't know if you've ever heard of that. But it's a thing that you can use to do this kind of stuff if you need to, instead of just doing it to everyone all the time. So they're allowing backdoors, or they're asking for backdoors that will allow this interception and warrantless access to basic subscriber information. So, yeah. The Canadian Service Intelligence Service, which is CSIS. Canadian Security Intelligence Service, right. ISIS, surprisingly close. Oh, CSIS is not comparable to a terrorist organization. That was a little rough. In other things about privacy and things changing and whatnot, Reddit CEO actively altered and censored user comments. I believe this was in The Donald or whatever that crazy subreddit is. Yeah, it was in The Donald subreddit. So there was a thing that was like F-U-U slash spez, which is supposed to tag him, but it doesn't work. He turned that off a long time ago. Because people were mad about him shutting down a subreddit called Pizzagate, which was about people fury crafting the idea that there was potentially a pedophilia ring involving people at the highest levels of the Democratic Party operating out of a Washington pizza restaurant. That they got this information out of emails that were leaked through WikiLeaks. I read some of them. They're actually pretty weird. Anyways, they're weird. Regardless of what's going on, they're weird. That's all I have to say. I don't know what's going on, but them are some weird emails. So he changed the comments from being against him to being against moderators of The Donald. I was reading this article and the way he handled it was very childish. So spez screwed up real bad. I don't know. When people are attacking you, a really good way to deal with it is being mature. Usually. I don't know. Not that we're the kings of mature. We're not. But when that dude attacked us and was like, what are some people I can go watch that aren't- You can just ignore it. Yeah. Just let it blow over. Or if you need to address something, just address it and then let it blow over. Address it properly and fully and then move on. Yep. And sometimes addressing it just means sorry, my bad. Which he did after. Should have done it before. Yeah, should have done it in the first place, but maybe he learned. Ellen Pao, when did she resign? Was that even a year ago? A year and a bit? It feels like it wasn't that long ago. I don't know. Did she do stupid stuff? I don't remember what it was. No, no, no. She closed down the fat shaming reddits, I think. Something like that. I don't remember what she did. But basically, one of the comments in the article here was even she didn't change user comments. That's brutal. That's a pretty sensitive topic, especially on a platform that is supposed to be front page of the internet. Like a free speech. What has happened on Linus Tech Tips is we've edited user comments before. Yeah, but I say I edited it. But what happens is there's a flag that goes on the bottom that says who it was edited by and a reason. And we usually post in the thread saying that it happened. And the edits are usually hilarious. We'll take someone insulting another user with crazy slurs and swear words and stuff and make it rainbows and bunnies and happiness and stuff. And then say that it was edited by us. We've done stuff like that before, but we're very clear about it. I've done stuff like if someone posts a guide to something and refers to my video that I did on it or something and they weren't sure where it was. Like I'll go in and I'll put it in and I'll put it like a thing at the bottom, edited by Linus Admin, added YouTube link. Yeah, we tell them that it was edited. There are transparent and harmless ways to edit user comments on a site. And this especially... And non-destructive because we can just go into the history and see what it was before. Did he expect people not to notice? Yeah, that part's pretty weird, eh? Like that's the thing is if it had been a subtle edit, like changing it to a misspelling or something or like even... I don't know, especially like an angry personal attack, changing the subject of it? Yeah, yeah. Because those people are going to get tagged. Yeah. They're going to notice. And they were moderators of the Donald. Like you don't think they're going to jump on that? The whole thing was just odd. Just poorly planned. So his statement is funny. That was Brandon by the way. Hey everyone! Yup, I messed with the FUSpez comments replacing Spez with R the Donald Admin's mods for about an hour. It's been a long week here trying to unwind the R slash Pizzagate stuff. As much as we try to maintain a good relationship with you all, it does get old getting called a pedophile constantly. As the CEO, I shouldn't play such games and it's all fixed now. Our community team is pretty pissed at me. So I most assuredly won't do this again. And there were some leaked screenshots of the community team's Slack. Which one of you guys needs to not leak that because that's lame. But the Slack was like very unhappy. Because it's like the Reddit admins that need to go clean all this up. Yeah, now it's their problem. Yeah, and they're like, oh god. It would have been super cool if my day hadn't been completely ruined by you. Thanks for that. Pretty much. Speaking of days being completely ruined. This is such a great show. This is the best show. The best show. It's the greatest show. No one else could make a show like our show. What the flicks? Original article here from Tom Carver. No, I do not want notifications. Sorry, what are you asking? Notifications. Hold on, hold on. But you know what? I realized I am doing this wrong. What? I need to view this page in the best browser. The greatest browser. Come on now. Microsoft Edge. I mean, look at this. Look at how these ads are only halfway on the page. Nice. You know what? It's like halfway ad block. Why is it zoomed 250%? I don't know, Edge. Wait, what is 100%? Why does it 100% look like this? What? Edge, why are you terrible? That's Tom's. Tom's isn't formatted, Borley. Why are you so terrible? Well, no, look at Chrome. Chrome did it just fine. Look, here's Chrome. Yep. Oh, I have to log in. Oh, shoot. That's not Edge's fault. Yeah, that's not Edge's fault. Hold on, I got this. Well, like... Anyways. Okay, okay, okay. Tell them what's going on. Netflix 4K streaming is going to require a Kaby Lake processor, Windows 10, and Edge browser. So considering I've had so many endless problems with Windows 10 and streaming at home, and I'm planning on going back to Windows 7... Then the obvious solution is to go to an immature browser on a brand new platform from Intel all at the same time. For the best user experience. Yes. Wow. Yep. Wow. The best part is that it's completely unnecessary. Although it's probably because it's using something crazy. Yeah, it's probably using the onboard GPU. Hardware decoding support for 10-bit HEVC. Which I guess the question from my side would be, why can't we use software decoding just like we can right now? At this very moment, exactly right now. Now, I do actually understand why... PlayReady 3.0, hardware-based DRM. It has to do... Okay, so yes. So PlayReady 3.0 is a hardware-based DRM system that requires dedicated and supported decoding hardware, which prevents the video stream from being captured in software or via an external capture device. Don't you just love DRM? I actually had a great week with DRM this week. Nice. Yeah, and so did John. Everyone had a great week with DRM. Awesome. John wanted to capture some PS4 Pro gameplay. Yeah. And discovered that due to the HDMI 2.0 implementation of the PS4 Pro, our capture card just straight up couldn't do it. That was great. Yeah. And I was trying to do my evaluation of 4K Blu-ray with legitimate discs on an Xbox One S, a legitimate player, with a high-end receiver from Onkyo with HDCP 2.2 and arguably the best HDR TV on the market, LG Signature OLED, and thanks to HDCP 2.2, half the time, my stuff wouldn't handshake. Nice. Wasn't it wonderful? That's awesome, yeah. I thought it was wonderful. DRM and hardware is great. Yeah. I mean, especially when firmware updates upgrade the DRM and downgrade the functionality. Oh, nice. Do you know how long it's been since I've been able to have my GTX 980 go directly into the HDCP 2.2 ports on my TV? No. Since halfway through my review. Nice. Isn't that great? Oh, God. So my understanding is it may actually be Nvidia's fault on that one, and it's the kind of thing that doesn't come up a lot, so I didn't mention it in my review. Or it wasn't even really a review anyway, but the point is, I am not a fan at all, and I'm even more not a fan now that I pay for media. So like the last stream was like the, we don't have anything to talk about, so we're just going to like talk about random stuff and laugh about things stream, and this stream is the like everything sucks. Everything is terrible. There's lots of news. It's just all terrible. Like, oh, you just all had a good Black Friday, Cyber Monday, little like spend all your money deal? Well, get screwed. Speaking of getting screwed and spending all your money, let's stuff some sponsor messages down your throats. First up is VertiGear. They have gaming chairs, and you can check them out over at VertiGear.com. The slime is great for overall comfort. It just takes one person to assemble the chair, and I know this for a fact because I was personally reassembling it before the stream. Not, it was not VertiGear's fault. There's a very clear thing. I'm going to lift it up. No, no, no, we're not going to have to, let's just do this the right way. Okay, you see down there, you see that sticker right there? Yeah. So that sticker says front. It's a white sticker with big capitalized bold red font. It says front. With an arrow. So I had to reassemble this chair myself before the show because someone put it on backwards, and I was sitting in the chair, I was like, this is really uncomfortable. Like, I don't know if I want to do a sponsor spot for these guys because this thing's awful. And it was assembled backwards. When you put it the right way, it's fine. It's pretty good. All right, so anyway, glides very smoothly on any surface, has a tall backrest meant for the neck shoulder, and it has lumbar support built in instead of just adding a cushion to it like some. You can adjust the seat to fit your height. It has adjustable armrest. The knob under the seat can be set in order to match your weight so you can rock. Yeah, you can rock with these. And the backrest can be altered from 80 degrees to 150 degrees. Luke's chair. Oh, it's the plus line. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. So you know what's great too? My shoulders don't actually. You know what's really funny? Even on the plus. Is you are effectively a plus size model right now. But like I still don't fit, so I'm like a plus plus size model. You kind of are. Yep, because my arm is like over top of this. You are such an enormous hunk of man. So plus size, extra large construction on the padding and headset, headrest to provide more support and also glide smoothly on any surface. All mechanical parts are covered by leather and the material is easy to clean. That'll be good for you because you can be very messy sometimes. I remember that one time I came into your office and on your chair, there was like a cereal bowl with milk all over it. That was you. Don't pin that on me. I knew you were going there too. Don't pin that on me. So you can check out VertiGear at VertiGear.com and we will have a link and something etc. that's bought below. All right, moving on to Squarespace. Squarespace. Squarespace is a space that's square or rectangular, but not a circle. No. Unless you were to browse a Squarespace website on your watch. And not this watch because this is not a circular watch, but normally the watch I wear is a circle. Does Android Wear have a browser? Well, whatever. Squarespace allows you to make your website the way you want to make it. You could view it on a browser in VR. You could, yes, but that still wouldn't be a circle. Not really a circle. No. You could move it around in a circle. You could spin in a circle. While you... Yeah. So I guess we've achieved what we were trying to achieve. Would you be viewing it in a circle? If you spin it around in a circle and you are within the circle, would you be viewing it within a circle? Viewing it in a circle. Because if you spin it around as you're rotating... Where is he going with this? Would you be within the circle that you're viewing it in? So you could say that you're viewing it in a circle. What if some of the people out there are legitimately wondering what Squarespace is? Squarespace is an easy-to-use website where you can make a website. That's kind of is it in a nutshell, isn't it?

The WAN show. It's annoying, isn't it? WAN! Little bit. Are you getting that from your kids? No. WAN! It sounds like you are. Yeah, but they're higher pitched than me, actually. Even higher pitched. Speaking of my kids... I feel like your voice has gotten considerably deeper since we started working together. I have a cold. So that might have something to do with it today. Maybe in the last couple days. Yeah. I've just really noticed, Linus. You really went through puberty lately. Good on you for that. It's like, the aforementioned children are sort of evidence that the puberty did happen at least four and a half, five years ago. Whatever the math works out to. Because that's the whole puberty thing is the pubic, you know, area and the hair. The hair happened. Yeah. You know. Whoop. Yeah. What? Little bit. Little bit. I don't know what that gesture means. Don't worry about it. There's also fresh books. Fresh books. Who I'm sure appreciates very much all the pubic discussion. The whoop sound. The whoop. So fresh books.

On my stream thing last night, people brought up fresh books and we're all talking about not all of them. The ones that had used it were talking about how they liked it. And that's kind of cool. We just had a cool story bro moment. And then I talked about... I loved it. No, exactly. Yeah. And then I talked about how like we will drop a sponsor if we genuinely think that we don't like them. And then someone guessed which ones they were. And I was like, how the heck do you know that? Yeah, we generally don't kiss and tell. They guessed like right away. Absolutely immediately. It was weird. I don't know. Maybe it was like Nick's alt account or something. Oh, yeah. I don't know. Yeah, Nick would know all the sponsors we've dropped. Yeah. All right. Let's move on to some more topics, I guess. We do have more topics, right? Yeah. Do you know anything? Netflix offline downloads. Oh yeah, Netflix offline. So they're like putting DRM up our butts, but they're also giving us a delicious offline viewing chocolate sundae. So I guess as long as they don't get the chocolate and the butt mixed up, then we should be pretty good. Netflix finally lets you download chosen movies to watch offline. This has been one of the biggest reasons. Asterisk small amount of. That I have bought certain media because I intended to watch it on a plane. So I'll buy it, rip it, throw it on Plex and then transcode it onto my devices, which is an awful lot of work. And if I could just since I have a Netflix account anyway, if I could just download and watch offline later, it's been confusing to me for some time that their licensing deal doesn't account for them to just be able to track through the app. The next time you log in what you've watched and make sure that the payments are all processed correctly. So with that said, it's not like available for everything, but they announced that members can download in addition to stream series and films at no additional cost. You just click the download button on the details page. And currently Orange is the New Black Narcos and the Crown are available for download as of November 30th 2016. Your Netflix app needs to be up to date to enable the feature. And it looks a little something like this. Pretty straightforward. Yep, looks like a download button to me. Yep, they did a good job of that download button. Look at how downloady that looks. The line at the bottom. Well, I'm using the wrong mouse. Showing where down is? Yep, well no, the line at the bottom doesn't show where down is. Well, it does, but it shows where the down that the arrow was pointing at would be, which is what you said, but in a different way. Fitbit is reportedly close to buying Pebble. I really enjoyed the moment of silence for my coherency there. And it was lost. It was good. Fitbit is reportedly buying Pebble, apparently for a small amount. Pebble's CEO saying that money is pretty tight these days, openly. What just happened to my link? There were offers to Pebble in the past that were much higher than what this offer and deal is apparently going to be. Apparently the Pebble brand will be phased out. Fitbit will be taking Pebble's intellectual property such as its OS and etc. Maybe this is a... Smartwatches seem to be not doing well at all. Well, you don't use one, right? Nope. I used to, and then I was like, wow, it super drains the battery on my phone for like not a ton of benefit, and then I stopped. I would be fine if it didn't adversely affect my phone. But it does, so I don't know. And then there's the Neptune Pine, we all know about that. I started using a smartwatch right around the time I switched to the Droid Turbo. And since then, I have leaned very heavily towards phones with just outrageous battery life. Like I might be able to do it now that I have my Pixel. Right. But like it was not a thing with the Z5. I'm kind of disappointed. Nothing I've seen from Fitbit has particularly impressed me. Their software is just trash. Whereas Pebble, even though I was not a fan of the Pebble Time, the Pebble Time felt like a cheap crappy device. It felt like they were cheaping out, trying to eke out more margin, which makes sense. And they ultimately compromised what could have been a very good user experience, because I actually didn't mind the software. Like for third party software, it did a better job on iOS and Android than I think Apple could do on an Android phone with the Apple Watch, or that Google has done with Android Wear paired to an iPhone. Like they actually managed to bridge that gap where I think they achieved really 90% of what I would care about, and they managed to do it on both platforms. I thought that was really cool about it. But someone in the chat said it was just kind of a crappy device with a really bad screen. Someone in the chat said that real smartwatches like the Apple Watch and the Gear are doing well. I think you should re-conjure how you view wealth. Apple has pretty much straight up said that the Apple Watch isn't doing well, haven't they? I don't know, actually. But what I will say is that they now have a second generation Apple Watch, and they have slashed the price of the first generation Apple Watch, which when you look at the Apple Watch and the price delta that they're trying to go at between the two generations of it, it basically means to me they have a lot of inventory they're sitting on. I don't think Apple Watch is a big success. How many of them do you see? My vet has one. That's the only person I know with an Apple Watch, and it was a gift from someone who thought she would like an Apple Watch. That's what they've largely became. It kind of sucks right now because two of the most highest anticipated within the last little while sections of technology, I guess, is how I'll phrase that. Like VR and smartwatches? And wearables in general. Both just like, and then are stuck down here right now. Well, I think VR stands a chance of coming back. I think wearables definitely do too. Maybe they'll come back on similar, no, I was going to say I thought VR might come back sooner because at least the VR, like the good VR that's out today is really good and very compelling. Whereas even the best wearables right now, I think, are trying to be all the wrong things. Like, I've been wearing the Apple Watch as a daily driver for at least two weeks. I don't actually remember how long it's been, but I've been using it for a bit because I switched to the MacBook Pro and I switched to the iPhone 7 and I've been like in the Apple ecosystem. I haven't been tempted to press the crown and open up any of the other apps on the stupid thing once. How could I possibly care? The time that it takes to press the crown, navigate these tiny little icons to the weather, by then I could have pulled out my phone. Like, there's just so few things that really make sense. It's mostly a notification device. Why? Okay, can it come back? Okay. That was scary. I guess they're trying to, instead of just trying to be really elegant and beautiful one thing, and that is like tell time for one thing, they're either trying to be too much or their business is too dependent on just selling wearables. They need too much margin. They can't build a good enough product. No one's really gotten it quite right. Yeah, so anyway, this news comes after Pebble laid off 25% of its staff earlier in the year. This is all despite funding rounds in 2015 and 2016 that raised $26 million. There you go. So much for that. What else we got? The renewed bad news, UK ASA concludes that No Man's Sky ads were not misleading, which actually sounds like impossible. Original article here was from the BBC. No Man's Sky's ads were not misleading says the UK's advertising watchdog. What kind of watchdog is that? Bad dog. Doesn't watch very well. Bad dog. No supper. Bad. So the ASA has rejected these complaints with their statement reading that we understood that the screenshots and videos in the ad had been created using game footage and acknowledged that in doing this, the advertisers would aim to show the product in the best light. We considered that the overall impression of the ad was consistent with the gameplay and the footage provided, both in terms of that captured by Hello Games and by third parties and that it did not exaggerate the expected player experience of the game. Delusional is the one keyword reaction I'm going to give to that. And moving on, I guess. Oh no, I've got a good one. Okay, I have some good news. I have cool news. Oh yes, we're moving on though. So the original article here, this was posted by Spider on the forum and it's aws.amazon.com. Amazon Snowmobile. They have cool names for things. I know, right? So last year they announced the AWS Snowball, which allows you to transfer one petabyte per week using Amazon owned storage appliances into the cloud. So this is for like large scale data migrations. So with 80 terabytes of storage, these appliances would address the needs of many of their customers and are in widespread use, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. However, customers with exabyte scale on premises storage look at the 80 terabytes and realize that an all out data migration would require lots of devices and some headache inducing logistics. Introducing Snowmobile. Where is it? Where is it? Physically Snowmobile is a ruggedized tamper resistant shipping container. 45 feet long, 9.6 feet high and eight feet wide. It is waterproof, climate controlled and can be parked in a covered or uncovered area adjacent to your existing data center. Each Snowmobile consumes about 350 kilowatts of AC power. If you don't have sufficient capacity on site, we can arrange for a generator. So each truck is equipped with what was it? 100 gigabit per second or 400 gigabit per second or some ridiculous kind of networking capacity. And these trucks can store up to 100 petabytes of data, allowing you to move exabytes to AWS in a matter of weeks. One terabyte per second of data transfer speed across multiple 40 gigabit per second connections. Assuming that your existing network can transfer data at that rate, you can fill a Snowmobile in about 10 days. And then they show Snowmobile in action and they did it with Lego characters. Did you see that? Yeah, I scrolled through it already. So I have more good news about this one. As soon as I heard about this, I fired off as many emails as I could to anyone I could think of. And I okay, it's nothing concrete, but I did get a reply that someone at an agency who knows someone in Amazon AWS is looking into whether it'd be feasible for me to go down and take a look at a Snowmobile. Oh, I wouldn't have been one here. They're not going to bring it here. Oh, it would have been cool. What would we even do with it? I don't know. This would have been sweet. Transfer everything we have there in like not long at all. Just for funsies. Just for funsies. Like delete it afterwards, I guess. Yeah, I have a feeling they're not going to invest that kind of time and effort. Do it. Worth it. You should. You should. What else we got should. Ah, yes, it will soon be illegal for businesses to punish customers for leaving negative reviews. That's good. That is actually really good. The law just needs President Obama's signature to be official and that assumes that the Republicans and Professor Trump don't repeal it because it's a bad idea because Obama was involved and his signature was on it. But in a nutshell, what this means is that Congress just passed a bill protecting consumers' rights to post negative reviews online. Passed by unanimous consent by the – passed the ah blah blah blah – the Consumer Review Fairness Act will make it illegal for businesses to include a non-dispersion or gag clause, which limits a customer's right to share bad reviews. By ending gag clauses, this legislation supports consumer rights and the integrity of critical feedback about the products and services sold online. So that's cool, I guess. More bad news. Uber now tracks passengers' locations even after they're dropped off. Da da da da. Yes. Yay! In its latest update, Uber gathers user location information even when the app is not open during a ride. So let's go ahead and make our way through this. So in the latest update, after the update is completed, Uber prompts users to accept the new policy by enabling their phones to make the change. Previously, Uber only collected data from the user if the rider had the app open. Now, if a rider calls for an Uber and closes the app, Uber says it will continue to collect location data up until five minutes after the ride ends. Uber says on their website they do this to improve pickups, drop-offs, consumer service, and to enhance safety. Wouldn't it improve literally nothing? No, because what it will tell them is where people are going. And what it will tell them is more accurately – But you just verbally tell your driver where the drop-off point is. Yes, I know. So it would only need to track where the car is. No, but it will tell them what specific place you are specifically going. So you could get dropped off at an intersection, and now Uber will know that you were going to get your hair cut at Joe's Barber. How would that help them with drop-off? I'm just saying. You asked what it would tell them. I said it. No, I meant – okay, no, I meant what it would help them – I don't see how it would help them with these things. I don't see how that would help you with drop-off, because you probably got dropped off at the intersection because you just wanted to get out of the car, because it would be easier for you to get there. It could improve the next pickup. I mean, you already have GPS, so there's that. And if they tracked you before you got in the car, that actually makes sense. But then they're going to get a bunch of positive PR from this the first time someone gets kidnapped or some crap, like within five minutes after they got dropped off from an Uber, and Uber is able to be like, yeah, they went this way. Except that that seems like it would be a breach of every privacy policy ever, but then in the event of safety being involved. But then now they have that information, so they could use it any way they want. Basically, it's a brave new world, folks. I like gave up my privacy a long time ago once I started to be on camera so much. But like, if I hadn't, I feel like I would just be constantly pissed off from like Nvidia drivers taking telemetry data. Like, what? You don't need to know all this junk to like this stuff. Like, leave me alone. All I want to do is get a car ride that wasn't terrible like a taxi. You don't need to do this. Leave me alone. Canada installing back doors like. Oh, all I know is my back door is basically open at this point. Yeah, pretty much. So thanks for watching the WAN show, guys. I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed it. Yeah, I enjoyed it. Actually, this is kind of a depressing. It was a really depressing show. This is not like not my favorite WAN show. Let's see if let's see if the outro works. It's going to lag. One thing I know for sure is that my my Twitch chat on my laptop is super not working. You can see it here. I mean, you're ending the show. So fixing it now is. Well, whatever. Intro. Oh, beautiful. Oh, it's broken. Yeah, it's broken. Oh, OK. Oh, oh, crap. No, no, no. We didn't talk about the Casey Neistat thing. We didn't talk about Beam. OK, so Casey Neistat sold his name to CNN. No, no, he sold Beam. He sold the Beam app. Casey Neistat sold. Which they're shutting down. Just got. OK. Casey Neistat and his Beam app just got acquired by CNN for 25 million. His Beam app was a terrible idea. He's building a company with CNN. But he's building a company that is going to be some type of news thing. Yeah. And here's some sponsored links. People speculating that it's going to be very much like extremely topical things. Like this is happening now and you can tune into like live feeds kind of deal. It sort of makes sense. Apparently, Beam has an 11 person team. Wow. Hell, yeah. So the head of the global head of CNN Digital told The New York Times Casey has tapped into nearly six million really powerful viewers, most of which do not tune in to see. Oh, my God. The whole chat is like, what? What is this? What is Beam? WTF is Beam. Like, seriously, that's like what the whole chat is. Apparently, it's worth 25 million dollars. Actually, it's not. What's worth 25 million dollars is Casey Neistat. So good for him. He sold Casey Neistat for 25 million dollars. CNN also said to build this audience authentically, we need to build something new. Speaking to The Verge, Casey Neistat hit on the main challenge that he'll have to overcome is that there is a tremendous distrust between those six million viewers and traditional media. The project, whatever it ends up being, is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2017. All I know for sure is I'm going to set my watch and I'm going to wait with bated breath for what? For them like the man of the year. Six months of development. For the six months of development. Good luck coding house. Dang. That's a lot of eyes on you for six months of development time. Yep. Eat well, try to sleep at some point. I mean, the guy just got 25 million dollars to sit and work on this thing for presumably like, I would say they've at least locked him up for two years, I think. Yeah, I don't know. To work on this. Like I don't know much about the details of the agreement. There's an article here, but... I feel bad for any programmer on that project. Yeah. Six months, like just... man. I feel bad for everything about this project because you know what? Maybe I don't. Maybe this will be the one mainstream traditional media acquisition of a new age media property that works out. Maybe this will be the one time. Except that they bought one that wasn't working. Except for that. Alright. Thank you for watching the WAN Show. We will see you again next week. Same bat time, same bat channel. People are like, PewDiePie is quitting. No, he's not. He uploaded a video that says he'll delete his channel at 50 million subscribers. Yeah. Watch him just do it to troll. Everyone's like, LTT will be acquired by something. You know what? Bullet time outro. Yes, bullet time. That's what it is. It's on purpose. If he did that, he would get so much press from doing that, that he could rebuild, knowing that subscribers don't actually matter that much, and get his views back insanely fast. Not fast enough. He made Jacksepticeye 2, which was like a troll fake side channel, and got it to like 2.8 million subscribers as a joke, with one video that I think he recorded on his cell phone being like, yeah I want another play button. So they shipped him another gold play button for it. He mentioned it one time in one video and he got like almost 3 million subscribers. We haven't even talked about doing that, except we were going to try and get silver play buttons. We wanted 100,000 subscribers. Yeah, we figured it would take us a lot longer. He went like way higher than he's goal. I guarantee you he could delete his channel, get in like every news everywhere, recreate and be completely fine. Well, he probably wouldn't even have to recreate it because YouTube has tools to restore them. It just like it restores it kind of jankily from at least it did four years ago, five years ago, whenever I had to do it. Yeah. Bye. I'm going to do it. I'm calling his bluff right now.
