 Are we live? Oh, great. I was looking at the wrong thing. I was like, there's no frames encoded yet. We couldn't be live yet. No, but there are. I was looking at viewers. There are no viewers yet. Also, that thing is either broken or hella delayed. Yeah, no, I know that. I was seeing that zero value, because usually there's that little delay before the frames start encoding. And I'm like, if I say, welcome to the WAN show, then it's going to come across, to the WAN show. They're not going to hear the beginning of it. But instead I waited too long, and I made it awkward. Why were we late this time? Why were we late this time? Well, we were late this time. Okay, not actually why we were late. But what did you do today? For the last three hours, two and a half, about two and a half hours, I have been overhauling the WAN show setup. I have reinstalled the audio compressor that we haven't used since way along. Do you want to do a thing? Time ago at the... Wait, what? We can just... No, no, it's not quite tweaked yet. Okay. Yeah, but it's a lot better. So I have reinstalled the audio compressor. I have switched to an XLR microphone. We do not have a mount for this one yet, so I have installed this... This foamy thing. This absolute... Here, I'll give you guys a look at it. This absolutely gorgeous shock mount. Yeah. Piece of foam. What else did I do? I'm sure I did other things. There was a platform swap. There was some good things done in terms of the audio setup. I tried some different capture cards. Mostly I was playing around with audio. So there you go. People are like, the microphone's terrible. I know for a fact it isn't, and that's another thing I did today, is I actually listened to the stream and tested it. So screw you guys. Yep, so get wrecked. Get wrecked, dogs. Screw a relatively small portion of you guys, and the rest of you are great. Yeah, the rest of you are awesome. Thanks for watching. It's the... All right, so we've got a great show for you guys today. There is, it's official, a modular smartwatch. Kind of. Kind of. There isn't one. No. But there might be one. There could be one. Could be. There could be one. PlayStation 4 has been revealed to be backwards compatible with PlayStation 2 games, but there's more to the story than that. AMD could... Could... Be profitable in two years. Could. Could. And also, Samsung is making a smart flip phone. And finally, my fingernails could all fall off right now. But they didn't. But they didn't. But they could've. But they could've. But that was a potential. And those were some little things about how saience is rot yourself. And I remembered oh, I put the intro back today all right So why don't we just kind of get the show get the show started this week with a thing that's completely Not on the schedule at all that sounds about it right. That's usually what we do that is Okay, so I had a lot of people Calling bullshit on this on this post that I made on Instagram Where I put a I put a GTX there's a lot of people declaring this to be Video card x y or z when actually almost no one got it right it is a GTX 980 okay, so I put a GTX 980 on this setup And I declared it to be a cheap eight core gaming setup, so this video is actually coming out on I Want to say? Monday morning Sunday night, so midnight Pacific on Sunday. It's pretty freaking sick and No, no lies. There is no nonsense. I am not pulling your guys legs eight Intel processing cores 16 gigs of RAM and a motherboard we're talking under $150 us we're talking with a GTX 980 and yes, I understand that a GTX 980 is expensive It's not the point the point of putting the 980 in there was demonstrating that this gaming platform is not a Substantial bottleneck even for a high-end graphics card okay, so we're talking like now No, no that was the comparison one. We're talking about 75 FPS in Battlefront okay, so our battlefront 75 FPS what settings butter smooth ultimate boom or ultra or whatever whatever the top one the highest tier preset 1080p 75 FPS Yeah, that's right So stay tuned for that that's gonna be freaking awesome I'm just trying to think if there's any other internal like LMG stuff we've had going on this week. It's been kind of a crazy week, but I don't know why we can't Last week we can't talk about that, but those last week this week I did a lot of prepping prepping yeah, we prepared this week We prepared actually I've been getting a lot of help. I did that thing But it can't oh yeah more security stuff so sort of we actually added a new member Yep, so we we have like like a new sort of sort of like maintenance maintenance guy But I'm gonna wait till after his probation period in order to you know Enter procedure whatever standard operating procedure introduced. Oh, yeah, we added another new member that happened this week So it's official um well my wife will be joining us here at Linus Media Group Starting in the new year to be fair She has basically already done enough work to be an employee and like kind of really is already She's just gonna like physically be in the office now, which is way better, and she won't have to do her other job anymore Yes, which is also way better So and you know it's it's really funny one of the things that she stressed out about was that the Okay first. I mean she's sometimes emotions you know Take precedent over rational thought she doesn't watch my show she is but like she's Yeah, she still she still has two X chromosomes. Okay, so I Just say it to the HR McMillan Space Center Yes on my birthday and met many incredibly intelligent Intelligence my wife is incredibly rational and she's very rational, but that doesn't mean that sometimes she doesn't Well, okay anyway the point is her first concern was that? LMG employees would feel like I was only hiring her because nepotism and she's my wife Okay, and I was like My dear I love you dearly, but that is the single most ridiculous thing you've ever said to me So stop I think that might like she got like the second dopest office in the whole thing There's like probably part of it has to do with that It's a small degree like the reason why she's coming No, yeah, no, no, no or like even if part of it is that she earned her way through other things She even needs the privacy in the office because she's the only one of us that actually does like accounting and stuff Yeah, so some of the things that I do should probably not be done. That's true, too. Okay, but But yeah, but anyway so next so the next thing was everyone's like Linus is so sexist. It's like Okay, okay, okay. I'm not gonna get I'm not gonna get too deep into this Because quite frankly who could handle that well apparently oh Okay, anyway I'm not gonna get I'm not gonna get too deep into this but men and women are different They're not the same they're different and that's okay All right, so anyway the next thing she was worried about Was that the viewers would think that the only reason she was involved was because she was like the boss's wife And I was like no I'm gonna clear that up. I'm gonna make sure they know so I'm addressing it on WAN show once and for all Yvonne has been an integral part of Linus Media Group since before its incorporation date she helped me start the company from like day Negative, you know like 90 when I was working on this for like months before we actually Kicked off yeah, and she has been deeply involved not just in like you know Creating people's paychecks and depositing things in the bank and all those things that she does to help everything run smoothly here Core decisions on direction and stuff like that But she has also been deeply involved in many core decisions involving HR involving our hiring involving our Our content involving our overall strategy involving the way that we address things publicly like our PR So she's very much a part of what we do and and she's approved and like if people are worried about content control and stuff she's approved stuff that was like We were pretty unsure about it. Yeah, and she was like yeah, I mean you can probably do it We ran we ran how to hide your porn after pastor we we had like a little mini conference call thing. Yep, and she was like It's sketchy, but yeah, and we're like, okay It's sketchy, but yeah, and we're like okay all right well I think I I think I have that's great Yvonne of the Yukon she hates that reference So what I would recommend is whenever she shows up in a channel super fun or whatever else because she thinks she's not going to Be in videos, but I straight-up told her that's not gonna happen or is gonna happen Whatever the part where she is going to be in videos is that that that will happen So make sure you leave some comments about Yvonne of the Yukon under the video. She'll love that Well mostly I'll love teasing her about that and then you know it'll be good. It'll be good Yeah, um got people asking if she'll be hosting anything no. I don't think so Not really her stick. I mean she's she's actually I expect she'd probably be on channel super fun Yeah, yeah, I'd expect her to show up on super fun like like well We'll definitely pull some kind of actually we have to haze her When she first starts like we have to pull some kind of like initiation prank on her what in like her first week Oh like channel super fun stuff. Yeah, okay. I was like what are you talking about? No, no no we should get tied to a poll for a day because we're a frat party No, that's why I'm like what are you talking not at work? That's not even what I meant this time That's not what I meant anyways. Yeah, no that sounds good. We have to think of something cool though Yeah, yeah, we'll have to come up with something cool like like there's the classics There's like putting the noisemaker above the ceiling tile in the office or whatever But but I want to come up I want to come up with something a little bit a little bit better than that I think I think we can I think we can do that all right So I think that's pretty much it for like the Linus Media Group Catch-up, so why don't we jump right into Nvidia? Unveiling their Pascal architecture somewhat so kind of yeah somewhat somewhat sort of so at the Japanese edition of Nvidia GTC the GPU technology conference they've unveiled some details about their 2016 graphics architecture code name Oh the name of the stream is the after party. I'm sorry. Oh Really, I think so oh That's what it shows on mine. Oh Well, that's not right the WAN show Tech and whoops gaming talk Fridays at 1630 Pacific ish There we go alright. We fixed that Okay, so basically there's I mean There's not a whole lot here that we didn't kind of see coming up to 16 gigabytes of HBM memory is is what it's going to be launching with but it can support up to 32 yes So we're talking one terabyte per second in bandwidth although and this will be HBM 2 by the way so Nvidia Apparently just kind of went yep. We're gonna sit out this first generation We're gonna wait until there's a die shrink And then we are going to pack as many more transistors as we can into our GPU And we're gonna go HBM at the same time and deliver hopefully something really really groundbreaking It'll be GPU market kind of needs to be completely honest because with VR around the corner They're gonna be really far behind and it has been we have been stuck at the same manufacturing process node for so Long oh it's a problem It's it's been awful like they have had to do so many crazy tricks both Nvidia and AMD have been like Tricking all over the or okay that came across wrong bit well They've clever chip design. Why don't we call it that um but they have also revealed that Pascal will be available in multi GPU packaging NV link is gonna enable up to 80 gigabyte per second communication They're gonna they're gonna have higher performance through the use of this Why am I having trouble talking? HBM to from performance. There's also a manufacturing no shrink that he's talking about 16 nanometer finfet process Which is still gonna be done by TSMC Yeah, yeah, we're expecting it sometime in the first half of 2016 so be that long stay tuned I wonder what they're gonna call the new Titan because X and Z are the only really cool letters Titan why? no Titan Titan why Titan? Why are you so expensive? What if it's like Titan H? Yeah, but the H looks like a very like up in the eight Very structurally sound like so what it looks like an I beam yeah I Just call it the Titan triangle then is this the strongest shape because Titan Titan black and well the Titan Z was the dual GP one Z. Yeah, I'm gonna say cuz if this was the third one Yeah, they could do Titan 3 and then that would fit with the 3d transistors But it's not So I don't know alright, so this is kind of cool our original article here is from ours technical here We go for a few truly bad DMCA takedowns YouTube is offering to cover legal costs to protect some video makers who lean on fair use So one of the examples of a fair use would be things like reviews where you'll be using clips of you know Hollywood movies or a triple-a games things that would Normally be well. I guess games to a lesser extent, but would normally be you know very protected No unauthorized reproduction of the blah blah blah etc fines and jail time etc But for the sake of critique you know this is how channels that do movie reviews for example are able to Show what they're actually talking about in the video the point of the video and and that's that's what that's what that's what helps Them get around the copyright law the point of the video is not The movie the point of the video is their own content That's illustrated by them pointing at what they're talking about in a movie so With that said there there have been some there have been some some issues with Here there were a couple of couple of examples total biscuit. I believe was one of them Unfortunately that didn't make it into that unfortunately didn't make it into the notes Really okay well unfortunately there have been a couple situations where folks that feel like they really should be protected by Fair use are not being and YouTube is offering up to a million dollars to protect them So that's that's pretty interesting and it actually comes on the heels for me this news of a really Unfortunate situation that we ran into this week where we used a classical piece of music from the YouTube music library That was composed over 50 So it was the compose the original composer died over 50 years ago Making it public domain making the actual sheet music itself the composition public domain in the us in Canada but and then the the the The the player who actually though the recorder who went ahead and and played the music and then made their Made their recording of it free for commercial use and all that stuff and you know allowed it to be in the YouTube music library said you know yep, everything's cool with me, but International copyright law it turns out is a bit of a bear and in Germany you have to wait until 70 years after the artist passes So it hasn't been 70 years yet So we actually got a letter about a video that we uploaded ages ago. That's got like a million views now We got a letter saying that we owe 4,500 euros Oh my as a retroactive worldwide license for this song because they are the rights holder of the sheet music even though in our territory It is not it is not protected now This is this is one of those situations where I really don't think there's gonna be a whole lot that's gonna come of it because This music has been used an awful lot over a span of a year and the fact that they're just sitting on it now Waiting for an opportunity to go after people like I really don't think They're gonna be able to target the potentially tens of thousands of YouTube creators who have used that particular composition and extract 4,500 euros from all of them And there was already a post on reddit where someone went through the same thing whose lawyer Advised them not to pay and eventually the whole thing went away But it really it really does it really does bring up an excellent point about Whose responsibility is what in this whole online? Content creation thing because if YouTube is providing the music library, which technically they do have a disclaimer on saying, you know We're not responsible for whatever But that opens up like let's say in all of our 3,000 videos We had used this song we could potentially owe You know whatever that works out to so 4,500 euros times 3,000. Sorry. I'm not that great It's gonna be really brutal so we could owe 13 and a half million euros potentially which I Don't know how much you guys know about how much a YouTube channels make but that sure as heck ain't it There's a lot of misconceptions there a lot of people think we make way more than we do A lot of people think we make way more than we do right okay Well, no in the entire time that Linus media group has ever existed and for the foreseeable future 13 and a half million euros will be out of reach So Yeah, I mean, I'm not I guess I'm just not really I'm not really sure where I'm going with this other than to say that I'm glad that at least in these cases The first four oh here we go the first four videos in the program I was trying to read that that was a really confusing little bit, and I don't get it so I here's one Sorry, did I say oh? You know what I actually don't know if total biscuit was one of them I know Jim Sterling was though so so here's one of them this This video is not available in your country do you do a copyright claim etc etc etc so oh? This is a playlist of the four so there's actually there's a few here Okay, let's go back there. We go. No sorry one of them Jim Sterling. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I totally screwed up I thought it was I thought it was total biscuit, but I think what I did was I read this article And then I watched I watched a total biscuit thing about copyright or something along those lines of fair use or whatever else Because he has he just does such a great job of explaining some of these more complicated things Yeah, so They can basically they're saying they can't offer legal protection for every creator, but they will resist legally unsupported DMCA takedowns because in the past it's been as simple as like um Yeah, that's mine, so You know no and it goes down right away without them actually having to provide any proof other than just signing a thing that says Yep, I'm the rights holder I mean I've gone through the process a lot of times and I haven't issued any by mistake like all of mine are actually Content that I own and was and were reuploaded without my approval It's not by one that actually well. We can tell that story after that's pretty that's pretty funny story um But it's so easy all I have to do is go. This is my digital signature Yep, you know I'm a representative of this and blah blah blah and boom it goes down usually within a couple hours Just like that and unfortunately sometimes the system can work too well We got a copyright strike this week actually there's a lot of stuff that's happened this week It's been kind of a crazy week. We got a copyright strike which I have never had before and It basically disabled a ton of my YouTube creator profile Until I went to copyright school which I failed by the way Well, I tried to challenge the test and I got one thing wrong oh But what's funny about it is that it gave me access to my control panel anyway So I really don't know what the point of copyright school was in that case um anyway, so so when we dug further into it so we got a copyright strike because a Successful DMCA takedown had been issued for some of our content, and I was like what and it was like ah What was it it was one of the the Silverstone headphone stand design contest videos? I was like I don't even think there was any music in there What is this even what is this even about and so finally because my account is so limited and because the video has been Pulled down it's hard to find any information about it, but I finally got to the right page and The claimant was Linus Media Group So when I dug into it the contact email was for Colton So I was like okay that guy who's uh whose bio on the site says that he's just not as good at Nick Not as good as Nick and Nick light so apparently he's not as good as Nick at filing takedowns because he managed to do a takedown on our own damn video Which okay, and this was after I had sent a super irate email to YouTube being like hey Yo, I need my account back right away. We've got uploads to do and stuff and they're just like Um it was issued by you have you tried retracting the takedown no I will look into that Colton Okay, so he's he's changed his little blurb now So that's a little bit better, but we might need to add to that also tries to attack own company. Yeah, yeah, yeah Put protects protects the intellectual property of Linus Media Group to an unprecedented degree oh Colton's Colton's texting Colton's texting yeah, Colton's texting sent me hashtag yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, so it's okay Colton. We love you. We love you dearly although I don't know why you're watching WAN show instead of doing actually go back to work. Yeah get back to work Well, we don't have to yell. He's watching the show he shouldn't be right, but he is so we don't have to yell. That's fair Okay, so this is I always oh I love these articles so much So this is from Barron's dot-com Yes, yes Get the full story. Yeah, I think I can live without the full story um AMD could be profitable in 24 months This is according to JP Morgan The chip firm needs to drive share gains and remain disciplined on expenses to reach operating profitability And they should probably send samples on time. Oh my yeah, that's okay. So you know what's really funny is Normally when we're late on a review For like a key launch product Intel CPU AMD GPU Nvidia GPU I was gonna say AMD CPU, but that hasn't happened in the entire time line as media group Usually there's there's there's gonna be there's gonna be a couple of different camps right there's the camp That's just like hey. I want to watch the video, and then there's the camp. That's like hey. You're so biased you didn't cover this for the 380x Crickets I didn't get a single message Asking why we didn't review the 380x Literally no one cared seems like a really good value card. Yeah, it seems alright, but you know what else was interesting um? Anon tech doesn't have a review up whoa yeah, they have AMD zone or whatever Do they still have the AMD zone on a contact calm? I don't see on yeah, it's gone. It's gone. The AMD zone is gone Alright, then yeah Wow, so tech that must have cost a fortune So tech ad literally a takeover has an entire takeover. They've got the top banner spot left right banner So they got the background here, and then they've also got the tower banner above the fold here And then poor corsair and the emma yep More down here. No no no there's the how there's so many ads oh My god, I wonder if anyone has ever seen this banner before we did it just now maybe not possibly not um But yeah, so I haven't actually talked to Ryan over there But my my assumption is they probably ran into the same thing We did and it's funny because this really never used to happen to us that often But it's happened twice in the last little while our 6700k sky like sky like chip ended up in Peru twice before coming to us two weeks late and Our 380x arrived a couple of hours before when show started today So we actually were probably the most on the ball That was the most prepared we've been for any GPU video ever ever been okay all other cards We're already tested using the latest driver all them from the Nvidia stack all the main B stack This did the bench which we have actually moved to a tower case now so we can do better thermal Evaluations and better because especially now that cards are going to boost differently depending on whether they're in a case or not Really important so so we were like yeah, we're like we're like on this we're ready that we're just gonna throw that card in there we're gonna run six benchmarks, and it's gonna be ready to rock and So we have emails like our email chain with AMD is hilarious because it's like yeah your cards shipped Yeah, your card should be there by now. Do you have a tracking number? Let me let me look into that and get back to you I'm like yo, do you have a tracking number? Oh, yeah, your car didn't ship like okay? So what made you think our card shipped? Oh? We're gonna get one from someone else. It's here now. It's here now So we're gonna we're gonna hit that early next week and get that go sure we haven't done a live unboxing in a dog's age Oh, do you want to grab? Do you want to grab? Oh, okay guys hang? No go go go go. I'll get the other thing Okay, we'll be right back after these messages I don't know where he is Why is there like no one watching did we do something wrong? there's 4,800 No 6,800 according to this but none that's usually not right 6,800. Yeah, yeah No, we've got it. We've got actually a great live audience today in spite of the fact that we've gotten almost nothing done Okay, no, no, hold on. Hold on. I went and got a webcam Oh, yeah, oh yeah, man. Yeah, I hate you It's funny because that is old school because we've totally done that Definitely pretended we've even like we've even done like takes in a video where I'll like cut the one side and then We'd like we'd open it and we turn it around so we can break the ceiling camera again, okay, hold on Hold on. I gotta get the I gotta get the resolution right here. I can't turn it around Okay, I'm just gonna I'm just gonna go for 720p here. Oh look at that view of my ugly sweater Yeah, you guys want to look at that? I Feel like we're watching a very different type of content right now. Yeah, okay. All right We're gonna break the seal for definitely the first time ever. Wow that that cut so easily. Oh Oh Dang, they got it. Um Yeah, uh Here okay theoretically that's fixed Wait, um, no, let's just let's just go for it. Let's just go breaking the seal for the first time for the third time Okay, so we've got some pretty standard packaging here Oh Apparently not fixed. Oh, okay. Well, um man, I was so determined to There how about now shouldn't matter you should just change the master source right the master source. Yeah, like Audio yeah default microphone. Oh Oh, okay Okay, cutting the seal for the first time for the fourth time. Yes Shrink Wow, it's not focusing Oh god, is it on manual focus? No, I don't think so. Okay. Oh, there we go Whoa, so we've got some pretty standard brown Packaging which I think is brown packing that sapphire is kind of thing. They do that. We do have foam, which is good All right protective foam. Look at the bumps. Ooh It's like a hundred nipples There's a there's a CD which you should throw away Whoa, there's some packaging stuff, but you probably don't care about whatever you're then there's such a mess right now You're making a mess and you're terrible, okay, so it's tall it's really tall that's interesting. I don't know if that's standard It's the Luke edition. I Don't know if it's supposed to be that tall. It also has a back plate. It's tall and it has two fans Your mom and your dad get rekt It says on the box with a sticker that it has a back plate included so I don't Necessarily think that's a standard thing. I don't know if I don't really think all 280 X's come with a back plate I'm also wondering if this is aftermarket so much that it has an extra thing. Yeah, it seems like it Yeah, that's definitely a non reference. Although I don't even know if they have a reference PCB for this card I have no idea two six pins for power. No, four Six pins for power. Yeah, no fingers obviously because it goes through the board now. There's a switch So I'm assuming there's dual bios on this board. Oh a dual bio switch. Very nice. Got two giant fans. Yep Oh, don't talk about your parents that way. No, I mean giant as in like effort They're trying really hard There's looks like there's four heat pipes four heat pipes. Yeah with a copper base plate Maybe a vapor chamber. Maybe no I don't sure so hard to say they definitely would have said yeah 10-centimeter fans dual X cooling back plate Watching someone read off the box really does remind me of the old unboxings That's how we did it man. Great. I like that. It's not a super complicated like this would be super easy to take off Which is kind of cool. Yeah, the cooler is pretty thick. But again, I don't think they're all gonna come like this Is it the uh, surprisingly heavy but not by a ton like it's not a brick It's got some quality heft to it. This is the nitro the nice. I'm assuming it is a it's nitro charged for gamers Yeah, as opposed to being nitro charged for for web surfing with my fans Yeah, all right I oh we have dual DVI HDMI and display port I'm not gonna pull the things out because I want to keep it nice and then yeah, I think that's it Okay. Well, thank you. Thank you Luke for that that live unboxing Which is totally totally authentically opening it for the first time Only the fourth time. Yeah, only the fourth time. Okay, this is technically signed out under you So I'm giving that back to you too. Yeah, it's officially not my responsibility anymore Let's go ahead and and move into our oh, right Did we ever actually finish that AMD could be profitable in two years topic? Well, okay. Oh, so here here Well, I guess we'll do it So success depends on the company's execution according to the article Which is why we got to the whole idea of us not getting the card on time, right? Success also depends on their time to market and product performance power efficiency People to be analysts can we be these guys? I want to be the analysts we could do that AMD planning strong Er professional graphics push in 2016 Okay. Wow, just like it has been what they've been doing for the last sort of while here That's their company expanding into medicine factory automation and security. That's interesting, which is just another way of saying They would like to get giant contracts. Yeah, because everyone would then processor speculation Okay, got it. Thank you. Oh Sure, thanks Luke You know what I should probably do then is why don't I why don't I jet through our our sponsor stuff here for today? So our first sponsor is one that we actually haven't I feel like we haven't talked about Dollar Shave Club in a long time Well today's first sponsor is Dollar Shave Club the service that lets you Sign up to get a new razor every month Well, not just a new razor you actually get like a set of new razor blades So that you can have a nice fresh shave every day. Yes every day With a knife which would be bad, which would be terrible. Yeah, who would shave with a knife? Without Dollar Shave Club subscriptions, all right So basically, we're gonna be doing a review of the new razor All right, so basically they've got anywhere from a couple bucks a month all the way up to their executive Which is actually still very affordable. I think it's like Anyway, I don't remember exactly what the pricing is it's available in Canada the US Australia and Australia I think is that it Wow I am I am just I am not I'm not feeling it today But the point is they've got high quality razors and other bathroom supplies They deliver them directly to your door for a few bucks a month And all you got to do is go to Dollar Shave Club dot com slash Linus and join the club Dollar Shave Club Another thing that gives you quality stuff and lets you be lazy. Yes, I'm super down You don't have to leave the house to look like you leave the house Which is which is pretty good. I mean sometimes people come over. I don't really leave the house much I know you just come here and go home. Yeah, I know this to be true But I don't necessarily look like that Open your eyes Did you see that sick picture that Brandon posted on Twitter of like the behind the scenes of that of the Luke I'm your father scene like all the lighting and crap. You know, what was the coolest thing about it? No green screen wasn't there beds or something. Oh, I'm not sure I didn't I okay I think I've seen a shot of that from a long time ago I don't know if it's the one that Brandon posted so freaking cool though. Like it was like really far back Like you could see all the lights and crap that they had set up. It was really cool That's cool. I'm like you could see all the people standing watching like I Have felt really weird at times doing booth coverage particularly for a sues Because you know what's weird. Okay I'm way more comfortable if there's a large group compared to like one or two people Really if there's one or two people that I know are intently watching then I'm like And I get kind of weird about it if there's like really a relatively large group of them then I'm like, okay, whatever I don't know why okay. Well what I'll say about booth coverage at a sues is Whenever I'm there like a sues goes all out at CES like they have remember Oh cuz their whole team floats and follows you. Okay, that that is weird. Okay That is weird. Asus is a huge company and so they're gonna have like product management teams for every category of products that they make So we're talking optical drives laptops a bigger laptops Oh smaller laptops tablets that turn into laptops tablets that don't turn into laptops smartphones smartphones that turn into tablets Smartphones that turn into laptops. It's endless routers that turn into laptops They transform and so whenever I'm doing booth coverage at a sues There's like the North American PR team that's kind of following me around There's the product managed North American product management team. There's the Taiwan product management team. There's the Taiwan marketing people There's the like the salespeople who are just like oh, what's this crowd of people following around this guy? Who's making videos in the booth and it gets to the point where there have been times There was one that really stood out to me. It was for like an all-in-one or something Yeah, it was for an all-in-one that turned into an Android tablet It was a huge one. Yeah, there was literally about 10 to 15. Maybe was it more it was basically everyone there It was a lot It was like somewhere between 10 and 15 people watching me do my like like live to tape style recording video and at the end Of it, they all applauded. Yeah, it was one of the weirdest experiences that I think that I've ever had making a video It was pretty and I make videos with Nick Van Berkel who apparently needs to talk to me. Can I help you? Please don't break your neck at the office. Sorry New Yorkers. You can't be scooting around no more Only those like our z-boards and stuff. So, okay Really? specifically hoverboards Interesting. All right. Well, wait in the streets like indoors. I'm assuming there's nothing they can do Yeah, so in much the same way that it's sidewalks, right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, so kind of like no skateboarding on the sidewalk No more hoverboarding or self balancing Scooter or like whatever the generic terms are for them. That's really interesting So I guess our our jousting match Would not be allowed in New York, but that's what I'm asking. That was on a park. Oh, but I was in a park Okay, okay So as long as we don't been allowed in the street or on the side as long as we don't joust on the sidewalk Which I don't think Yeah, thank you for contributing a topic to the land show for once in your life Thanks Berkel on the subject of of swag way jousting actually It's not very often these days that we kind of that we are you know, no, no, don't worry. It's okay Check this out my friends. If you do not already have a vessel subscription Or at least a free trial vessel actually put together Like a trailer for our most recent channel super fun. What you guys are gonna want to watch this? Yes My friends Swagway jousting in medieval armor Check it out. That's a pretty legit trailer. It is it is kind of worth it I would use the last hit but it's okay. It's okay because they saved the last hit Yeah Yeah, save the best part for last so they yeah, they they what they sound apparently. Yeah. No, I know I know so they the sound is great. By the way Berkel spent so long Editing this video. It's got to be the greatest channel super fun. We've ever made though. Yeah, it's absolutely sick Everyone's all like I hate that so well, you know what vessel has made a big difference for us this year Actually pretty and is a big part of the reason that we can have a person dedicated to channel super fun I'll let that sink in for a minute we have an employee dedicated to channel super fun that has done like a few thousand dollars in total sponsorship money ever and You can you can look it up on social blade doesn't make a ton on adsense. So you guys do the math These things help us develop new and better content streams Well, we wouldn't know you guys have I think we talked about this a little bit on the last one show I don't know though. We've shifted to a lot of like crazy cool projects like the thing you leaked at the beginning of the WAN with the yeah cores and all that kind of stuff my fallout builds the two One computer two gamers like all these crazy build things that we're doing we have More employees and extra time and better space and all this kind of stuff to do that largely Honestly because of us. Yeah, we're kind of pros. Yep. There's all there's a lot of there's there's there's a lot of contributing factors tons Oh, but I just I don't want people to kind of go Oh vessels crap. It's terrible It is very helpful if you look at it from the other side of the the creator side. They're awesome. Yeah People like why not Vimeo why Vimeo? Okay, so actually we should probably do our other speaking of things that help us help us keep things going around here Tunnel there is one of today's episode sponsors the easy to use VPN app for mobile and desktop It lets you tunnel and through up to 16 different countries allowing you to browse the internet and use online services as though You are in that country tunnel to 16 different. Thank you They have apps for iOS Android PC and Mac and they also have a Chrome extension So your bases are pretty much covered you just pick your country in the app turn tunnel there on and watch as your bear tunnels I'm never gonna get I'm never gonna get tired of that bears don't tunnel. I love you guys tunnel bear You're cool. You got a great VPN service. Okay, it's free for the first 500 megs, which is super awesome a month They're not like moles, but bears do not tunnel They may be climb trees. Okay, they do that. They want something. It's not really heavy ones Yeah, if they want something I've with that said bears are kind of BA So like if they needed something that was underground could they tunnel probably probably I'm sure they can dig But their instincts do not drive them to tunnel. Okay And I find most large things their instincts do not drive them to tunnel and they're I Can't think of any large animal that tunnels The elephants tunnel No, I knew that Well, I thought maybe the tusks But does that count because okay we have to define tunneling No, no, I meant like they could move them like this and make a bore a hole in front of their face No, I'm just kidding. Um, so any Anyway, your connection gets encrypted with a ex 256 bit encryption And if you want to upgrade to unlimited data, you guys can head over to tunnel bear comm slash LTT if the first 500 Megs is enough to wet your appetite but not enough for all of your browsing Needs once said polar bears tunnel in the snow. Is that tunneling? It's more like burrowing. Yeah, that's what I mean. Like what is tunneling? So I think yeah means you're like traveling under the ground. Yeah, I'm not sure though. I All right, and Nick has given me an updated copy for fresh books Fresh books is the easy to use invoicing software that helps small businesses look professional and get paid faster And it does do that. You can try fresh books completely free for 30 days at fresh books comm slash When and make sure you type when in the how did you hear about us section? Oh, I don't know if we had that in the anyway So the point is if you're like a small computer repair technician or a house painter or we got to come up with other examples There's like a billion tiny businesses. You want to chat help me if you want to run like an an arts instructional thing at your house and you want to have people come over and stuff or like a small dance studio or small dance studio if you want to lessons of any kind private massage Yeah, I mean you technically could use fresh books if you were doing that kind of massages But my mom used to run a thing where she would what I saw is old people. Oh old folks homes Okay. Yeah, she could run fresh books for invoicing for that. Yeah. There you go Everyone's everyone's talking about cam girls the entire twitch chat Cam girls most of those have pre done services that they go through. Yeah, okay, but gardening gardening there We go gardening is a good one escaping weed is not a good example Unless it's legal in which case and then that's it's I probably Example well no because don't you have to know? You just have to get the most places that I know there's like crazy government oversight Yeah, but then once you're set up you could use fresh. Yeah. Yeah, so anyway there you go guys Fresh books comm slash when for your small business to get paid on time track your expenses track your hours and Basically just make your life easier so you can spend your time running your business or enjoying the product you sell whatever you're into Instead of dinking around in complicated accounting software, so one keeps on spamming about my car car Oh Yes, my car is fine Why don't we let's do let's do the video let's show the video so that they have some appropriate context I actually have you listened to it with audio. Mm-hmm cuz it okay. Yeah, cuz it's actually hilarious Oh cuz I should I should actually In that case I should do it here so that they can hear okay, yeah Is it there's no space right no, it's that's the oh wow oh wow Can I leak this um this is hilarious? Okay, I guess I guess I'm doing it So I accidentally went to the wrong the wrong Luke lafr here on Twitter And it turns out that it is indeed the correct Luke lafr, but look how young he is in that picture He's like a baby Look at that like looks kind of baby face as it is especially when he shaves But this is some that is some next level baby face you got going on there Wow, I love dropbox because yay, you got some free data I was in school and I needed any chance of a fan meet up day nine. I'm your biggest fan He did do a fan meetup, and it was great. Okay. It was awesome tweets Where are your other tweets tweets and replies to some replies? Okay? Oh Wow a grammar What a dick What a dick What else we got I do work literally I'm at 60 tests per mode now I was talking about working for you actually I noticed you have a wordpress site now I'm looking for if you're looking for free help. I got you man playing any games. Who's poor habit. They're a band That was a dude. I used to play with in wow when I used to be like really competitive. That's great That is so funny, I don't even know if poor habits still around They make like said you I don't I'd really doubt very many people in the audience would be interested. It's like super grungy punk music Okay, so hold on here Oh wait hold on sorry I screwed up Okay, okay hold on I have to pause Okay, twitch chat twitch chat Y'all gotta hear me out for a second here. Okay, this video has 1200 likes and zero dislikes. No, let's keep it going Okay, I need all of you to get over there get over there. Can you post post link in twitch chat? I wasn't actually gonna shill it get over there and get a like on that video. Let's try and do something unprecedented Okay a video with zero dislikes. Okay, so that back to the video it gets it gets better. It gets better That's why I get to enjoy this experience this is my vehicle that actually doesn't break down Do you know how many people you've inconvenienced this morning by having a crappy car? At least I've been in pressure mode by pointing them where to go Yeah. See? Cal Tire doesn't think much of that. Cal Tire. He honked at me. Hopefully the Cal Tire will be a good suit. The Cal Tire thing's like an omen now because that's where we got Nick Van Berkel from. Yeah. Oh wow, yeah. Cal Tire. Yeah. So Cal Tire owed us one for honking at us rudely. 240 dislikes. What the shit? Way to go, guys. Oh my god, look at the bard. Wow. Way to go, guys. It was going so well. It had like 1200 likes and zero dislikes. And out of all of you who took the time to go to the video, okay, only about 800 of you clicked like and 250 of you clicked dislike. So this tells us once and for all, the percentage of Twitch chat that is pure troll is pretty high. To the core, okay? It was pure troll. I was so happy with that too because it actually had zero and was like pretty high. And I was like, that's pretty cool. Well, I'm sorry. I wrecked it by trying to help. That's what happened here. The thing is too, right when you said it, I was like, that's cool. Oh god, no, it's not. I'm still going to get wrecked. There is still time. There is still time for you to find the good in you and go back and like it. There's still time. But your 240 souls can still be saved, okay? Come back from the troll. All right. What else we got here? This is great. So former Apple designers say that Apple has lost the fundamental principles of the troll. Of good design. I don't know how else to wreck a company more than that. Yeah. And there's some pretty good points here. So this is coming from Apple's first interface designer. And the thing that you could kind of say is, well, okay, a lot has changed since the Apple 2. And you need to be able to do more. Yeah. And you need to be able to do more. And more purchase decisions are made these days based on how a device looks, whether it's rose gold or space gray versus what specs does it have? And how many lines of code can it show on the screen in one color green or whatever? Like the world has changed. But the fundamentals of good design don't necessarily go away. And there are some very legitimate criticisms here. So they criticize Apple for having no universal back or undo button. This is something that I have been hating on for so long. And I'll hear people say, well, no. And one of the things I complain about is most of the time, according to Apple's guidelines, it's in the top left. And I said, well, hold on a second. Apple still hasn't fixed this crap, even though they've got big phones that you can't reach with one hand anymore. And people are like, no, because you can swipe from the left. Sometimes. Usually even. Not always. And inconsistencies. That's a huge problem. Huge problem. You need to have the UI work the same way kind of all the time. Or else that's not good. Another one is what they call hidden gesture-based menus. And I know that there are freaks on Earth. You heard me, Taryn. Freaks who can have literally 30 macro buttons on their computers and have multiple profiles of different sets of macros. Remember where they are. And can actually use them. It's insane. It's amazing. They're not labeled. But for most people, a lot of the gestures that are showing up in iOS are going to be ones that they're just plain not going to remember exist. I mean, there's the ones that are really handy, like swipe to search, swipe up for being able to turn on the flashlight or disable Wi-Fi, but for whatever reason not enable portable hotspot. But there's ones that are just like, yeah, it's like two fingers to do this, and three fingers for that, and four fingers for this. And it's just like, who's going to even use this stuff? How about you just make that functionality accessible in a way that's actually meaningful to me? And then the last one is pushing visual simplicity over usability testing in the new human interface guidelines that they're publishing for developers. To be clear, they're not only criticizing Apple for this. They're also criticizing Apple for their own Google Maps. Google Maps used to be so easy to use. And now, because I don't use it very often, pretty much every time I try to find the satellite view, I can't find it. For Google Maps? Yeah. Just like, where the crap did they put it? Trying to navigate somewhere with someone who uses Apple Maps is actually infuriating. Because it'll just suck the whole time. Apple Maps? Yeah. I don't mind it. It's been... Really? At least doesn't take me literally 25 minutes away from where I'm trying to go. Like, Google Maps has done a couple of times. Really? Yeah. When I was shopping for this place, I missed the appointment to see this place the first time. Because Google Maps took me to some residential area, like, literally way out in like, 260th Street. That's brutal. And it's like, in Europe, I get it, okay? Because in Europe, no offense to Europeans, but the way streets are laid out are ridiculous. It's just random. Like, you might as well just, you might as well just, like, you know, take a map of the town, like, shake it, and like, kick it, and then, like, take a hat full of, like, random words and dump it on it. And, like, that's how they're named. Impossible. In North America, it's very simple, okay? I'd love to... Okay. You got your streets going this way, and they're numbered sequentially, for the most part. And then you got your... And by city, kind of thing. And then you got your avenues that go this way. It starts at zero for America, and then goes up. That would be... Okay. Very simple. Not to, like... It's a grid. Go off topic. So you could sanity check. That's the point I'm trying to make, though, is they could sanity check an address to make sure it makes at least an ounce of sense. Yeah. Whereas in Europe, I understand that that's not always possible. That is the reason why I kind of want to start our skit channel. Because doing what you... Like, dressing up in, like, super old-school English clothing. Right. And, like, actually, like, shaking the thing and throwing the words in, and then, like, making it seem super official. Like, if we had some, like, naming ceremony or something, that would be hilarious. I want to do a sketch comedy channel. I don't... I can't figure out the economics of it. And... And that's a, like, huge problem. That's a huge problem, because we can't just do random things that make us happy, unfortunately. The world doesn't work that way. Although Channel Superfun has... We do do some of that. Yeah. But sketch comedy, like, to do it well. And I want to do it well. Like, I want to have, you know, a budget and actors and props and locations and, you know, not the free grade of music. Like, I want to have, like, good music in it that you'll end up having to pay for. Like, to do sketch comedy right, we would probably need somewhere in the neighbourhood of about a $5,000 budget per sketch to be even decent. Yeah. At least. And that's, like... You guys are probably looking at it going, oh, you guys are just wasting money or whatever. No, no. It's called sustainability. Like, yes, we could make a sketch on our own time on the weekends for very cheaply. But if it's part of what we're doing as a company, and if it's not, if it's part of, like, you know, making the people who help us, the actors who contribute to our production or the camera operators who come in and help us, like, part of making sure that they're making a living, you have to pay those people fairly. And fairly doesn't necessarily mean 15 bucks an hour because, you know, that's the minimum wage plus sum. Because these people are in a feast and famine industry. Yeah. So when there's no work, they're getting paid nothing, which means that when they are getting paid, they need to be making, like... So they can kind of stash it for the winter. That's right. That's right. So people are like, Linus loves to lecture us. To be fair, he's pretty good at it. If he was a teacher, I would legitimately listen, and that's... that's good. Someone else was like, Linus racism. What? Streets being poorly laid out in Europe has nothing to do with racism. It has to do with... It has nothing to do with race. I'm of European descent, so as far as races go... Has to do with they were set up a really long time ago and built upon for way too long, so now they're a mess. Exactly. It has nothing to do with... And it's, like, incredibly difficult to go back and fix that, also known as probably impossible. Yes. Probably impossible. Like, what are you gonna do? Like, can you... You're just gonna randomly rename everything all at once and just watch everyone just be in the worst traffic jam in the... Even that's impossible, though, because, like, the streets are just, like... Yeah....amazed. Well, because they weren't probably designed for cars. Can you imagine, okay? Can you imagine, like, you know, someone running for Mayor of London or whatever they call that position over there. I don't know if they call it Mayor. Anyway, my point is, can you imagine their plan being, okay, over the next 20 years, every two years, we're gonna level a tenth of the city and put it back together in a sensible manner? Right? That's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen! So, like, I get it. It's just... Yeah. Yeah. Linus isn't racist. He's misunderstood. Uh... Yeah, sure. Let's go with that. Uh, all right. Intel says Moore's Law isn't dead. Original article here is from VentureBeat and was posted on the forum by NeoFalfa. Okay, I'm not saying this exact article is being read on the WAN show, but have we not had an article from Intel with the same title before? Yes. Oh, multiple times. Yeah. Intel's always saying... They just always say this. Like, once a year. They wouldn't have to if everyone else wasn't running around saying Moore's Law was dead. Okay, that's fair. All right. All right. So Intel gets all defensive and, like... They're like, guys, stop! Yeah, like... Go away! I visited AMD's SSD thing in Folsom back, like, four years ago or something like that, and I accidentally walked into a room that had, like... I think I can talk about it now because their 3D NAND is out, but this was, like, really early stages, like, technical drawings of how their 3D NAND was gonna work. And they were like, You've been in here? You didn't take any pictures of that whiteboard, right? I'm like, no. Like, don't take any pictures of that whiteboard! And they went over and, like, erased it. Like, it was, like... It was, like, a big deal. Anyway. So I actually did interviews with some of their engineers, and I was like, okay, so the hard drive guys are saying that, you know, Moore's Law and SSDs can't scale in capacity the way that Magnetic has, and they're just like... We're pretty sure it can. And I was like, no, but... We're pretty sure it can. And I was like, okay, but can you elaborate? We're pretty sure it can. I'm like, okay, fine, I get it. You guys are cocky, I get that. I respect that, that's fine. I never actually pulled up the article here, so... I put it in Twitch chat, though. Good job. All right. Intel says, Moore's Law ain't dead yet. So they figure we're gonna make it all the way down to, what was it, like, 7 nanometers. Yeah, so Intel can see its path through 7 nanometer in spite of some difficulties with 14 nanometer that have been fairly well publicized. So here's a slide that is in extremely low resolution, but hopefully you guys somewhat get the point. But one thing that is happening for sure is that the cost per millimeter squared is going up. So even though you're still able to achieve that doubling of how many transistors you can put per millimeter squared, it is getting more expensive. So don't expect to see, and we've already seen this to a certain extent, don't expect to see that twice as many transistors, like, a capability, necessarily turn into chips that are twice as capable. Because in order to offset the additional cost per millimeter squared, we might end up with smaller chips. So it's something that, you know, we've already kind of seen happening, but will become more and more of a factor as time goes on. Excited for graphene. Okay, I just dumped that in there. Someone posted in the chat, can't believe you guys haven't talked about the new Lumia yet. And I was like, what are you even talking about? This is from 12 hours ago. This is? Oh, no, this is the review. No, this was announced a while back. This is the same time as the devices people care about, Surface Book and Surface Pro 4. Yeah. Yeah. I was going to say, for one, I think we covered the rumor, but I guess that was just the announcement, not the rumor. And it's a Windows phone, so... So it's still got Windows on it. Yeah. All right. Cool. Basically, I super quickly skimmed through the review, and there was nothing that I didn't expect. Okay. Also, I looked up tunneling, and it says dig or force a passage underground or through something. A passage. So I don't think a burrow under the snow counts, because it's not a passage. Right. So technically, a tunnel has to go somewhere. Yeah. That's interesting. I actually didn't know that. So tummy tunnel could still be correct, because it goes somewhere. Tummy tunnel. Yeah, your tummy tunnel. Is that just your belly button? No, like your intestines, your tummy tunnel. Yeah, it goes somewhere. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Speaking of things that no one cared about, we actually, I think we were teasing them about this a little bit when we did the unboxing, but we should talk about sort of where the R9 380X falls in place, within the rest of the gaming landscape. This is really funny. Okay, I'm going to tell a story that I'm not sure. Oh, yeah, I was going to tell a funny story before that I never ended up telling, I don't think. Oh, yeah, I don't remember. Sorry. I don't know what you're... You were prompting me to tell it, I think. It was funny or something. Oh, crap. Yeah, I know. No, wasn't that the Colton thing? Yes. Okay, so the R9 380X. It's really funny, because Luke was joking to me when we found out that we weren't going to get the card, and we found out that we weren't going to get the card in time, so we ended up releasing a moving vlog that we've kind of had in the bank for a rainy day for a while, instead of our 380X review, which was on the schedule. He was like, so, you know what we could do? Oh. Is just test all the rest of the cards, look at the MSRP of the R9 380X, and then just take the price and the prices of the other cards and extrapolate the FPS from there. And I was like, you're joking, right? He's like, yes. I'm like, okay, good. And I'm like, but that would totally work. Because, and this has been the conclusion for what, like your last eight graphics card reviews? Oh, yeah, like a long time. I love doing the videos, but like, the conclusion is like, yeah, you all knew this. AMD or Nvidia looks... I think in every single video, it's been a bit like, so the performance is unsurprising, but it slots here. Like, I seriously think I've said that for like a year now, at least. AMD or Nvidia looks at the other cards on the market and looks at how theirs performs because they're the only ones who know at that point. And then they price it exactly where it fits. And that is what the R9 380X is. It's a compelling value if you wanted to spend $230 US dollars on a graphics card. Good value card. If you wanted to spend $200, you could buy the 380. And if you wanted to spend $250, you could get a 285. And all of those things would make sense. Yeah. There's no like surprises in the graphics industry right now at all. How much money do you have? This much. Pick a team. There you go. Good job. I'm really hoping that with the die shrink and with HBM, Nvidia is going to knock my socks off next year. We need... Seriously, like... I'm hoping for that. I went to GDX a little while ago. Nvidia announced this super cool thing that they're working on with a gaming company where they're doing a climbing Everest simulator. Yeah, that looks really cool. It's badass and awesome. Good, good, good. But there was these really interesting panels with some industry influencers or speculators or developers. The CEO of CCP Games was there. And CCP Games is making some of the coolest stuff in VR. Valkyrie is badass. They had a game there which was basically the Tron game where you throw disks. So I got to play that against Colton. I think I beat him like 20 something to two. Poor Colton. So that was fun. Get rekt. But like that was probably the second most fun VR demo I've ever done. And Valkyrie was the first. So like CCP is kind of wrecking it right now, which is awesome. I'm totally down for that. But there's some really cool stuff. But one thing that was said more than once up on stage was like, whoa, this is really hard to run. Yeah. Like a lot of people were like, OK, wow. Yes, there will be mobile experiences. And those will probably be the most of the market, which they're probably right. And they are working on rendering tricks to, you know, don't render it from that angle. Pre-D fish eye and all that kind of stuff. Render just this little bit at full res and render the rest of it at much lower res. However. It's still incredibly hard to run. And the mobile ones are going to be super basic. There's a CCP game called Gun Jack, which is kind of Valkyrie, but also kind of not like it's it's you're in space and you're shooting gun at other spaceships. But you're in a fixed position. Everything comes at you. Also, it's Asteroid. I don't. Yeah, it's modern. That sounds bad. It's modern Asteroid. It's tons of fun. But like if you think about Valkyrie compared to that, Valkyrie is way more intense. Right. So they're going to be way narrowed down when they're mobile. And when they're on PC, you're going to need a beast machine to run these things without getting sick because you need insane. This is cool. This is cool. For the first time, SLI might universally make a ton of sense. Yeah, VR SLI looks badass because it can render each eye separately as its own as its own low latency path. I am super stoked on what SLI means for VR performance. It could be a literal doubling across the board. Oh yeah, that's right. You do, don't you? Yes. All right. Nick insists. So I'm going to do it. Nick insists that I bring this up. The LTT edition Noctua fans are in stock. Yeah. You can actually order them and they will ship immediately. The pre-orders, I know people waited longer than they wanted to. But the good news is my Twitter feed has been absolutely flooded with people talking about how much they love them. And showing them installed in their systems. It's been great. I haven't gotten a single piece of negative feedback. I haven't gotten a single person tweeting at me saying it didn't work, which is great. Which is exactly why we partnered with Noctua for this. Because I did not want to see that kind of stuff. With that said, some of them will fail. Oh yeah. Even the best product in the world fails. We're shipping too many to have, I think, 100% success rate. 4,000. We're shipping 4,000. So with that said, I got Performance PC's site up here. There's 303 NFA 14s left for Americans. There are 143 NFF 12s left for Americans. Overclockers.co.uk may be out already. If they have any, it is not very many and probably only 140s. NCIX still has a fair bit of stock. They ship worldwide, but you're going to eat it on the shipping cost. So if you can find someone closer to you while they still have stock, now is the time. And PLE in Australia still has a few. Mostly 140s, but they do still have some 120s. So if you guys want them, get yours today! I don't know if we're going to make more. I legitimately don't know if we're going to make more. This was something that was really cool. I was really happy to be able to do it. If we make more, are we taking the limited edition sticker off the new ones or no? No, they will still be limited because if we make more, that will very likely be the last run. They won't last forever, that's for sure. I'm not getting into the business of selling fans all day and allocating a bunch of our warehouse space to pallets of fans. That's not happening. This is just something that I felt really passionately I wanted to exist. So I bought 4,000 of them so that I could make sure that we met the minimum order quantity so they could exist. And now that they exist, I am content. They exist now. I don't need to make more of them. Also, oh right, this is huge. There is a new merch store. So this link, merch.linustechships.com, has always kind of led to a super crappy merch store that's all out of stock and stuff. And like overpriced shipping and a lot of other issues. We have officially partnered with Teespring to bring you guys a fully Teespringed out merch store. And to celebrate, we have brought back almost all of our previous designs. So now they are not just available in one style or one color. You can go to any of our designs and you can pick the colors that you want. See, check that out. You can pick the style that you want. So you can now get hoodies in some of the styles that never had hoodie designs before. Like just the plain WAN, stealth shirt. And if I'm right, not necessarily all of them, but a few of the designs that aren't here right now might be coming still. Resolution is just a number. Resolution is just a number. It has to be retooled to be 10 colors or less. And Brofist also has to be retooled to reduce the number of colors. Because we're using a different printing technology here that can't do more than 10 colors. So there you go, guys. And there's more to it than that. This is really cool. So for the holiday, Nick is literally messaging me about this now. I'm sure that's what he's doing. Oh, yeah. I have good... Oh, okay. That's fine, Nick. And stay tuned, guys, because we are planning to do an offer code for the holiday season so that every design is going to be available for a discount for the holiday season. I don't remember what the offer code is, but stay tuned for that, guys, because it's going to be awesome! Do we have a final count on the number of episodes for Scrapyard Wars? Yeah, seven. So this weekend will be the final episode on Vessel, and then next week will be the final episode on YouTube. I knew that. I didn't know if it was public. Well, no, it wasn't. Now it is. Cool. Seven. Now when I stream, I don't need literally my entire chat just asking me when Scrapyard Wars is going to end. That's awesome. This is really cool. Sony enabled PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility sort of without telling anyone. They have officially announced it now, but there you go. That's cool. Here you go. Update. A Sony representative sent us the following statement in response to our query about the emulator's existence. We are working on utilizing PS2 emulation technology to bring PS2 games forward to the current generation. We have nothing further to comment at this point in time. Not that I would know, obviously. I would have no idea at all. But I think PC users have been able to do this for like... PS2? Yeah, yeah, there's PS2 emulation. Not that we would know. No. I legitimately haven't run a PS2 emulator. I have a PS2. But I know that they exist. I have run PS1 emulators. I never owned a PS1. I'll admit to that. Well, actually, I did own one, but the optical drive broke and it was out of warranty, so I used an emulator. Aren't we not supposed to...? Well, I own the game. Okay. And I owned a console. Okay. Is that actually a thing? It's not legal, but in much the same way that I can own all the DVDs of South Park, and I will stream it to myself using AirVideo, which is technically not allowed in some countries anyway. I don't even know in Canada. I don't care, because as far as I'm concerned... You paid for the content? I paid for that piece of content, so you guys can just... I'm down to back that. Yeah, so as far as I'm concerned, if I own Final Fantasy Tactics... I actually don't emulate things. So I was trolling a little bit, but I actually don't. I have a PS2, and the games that I wanted to play on PS2, I own. I don't know why. I just like playing with the authentic experience. One of the reasons that I emulate is that I really like save states. Save states are cool, but that's actually part of it for me. I want to struggle through it like it was me playing in that day. No, I'm not that into that. Back when the save point was this manipulative thing to make you keep playing, when it's like, realistically, you know what? My kid's crying right now. See, that makes sense. I don't have time for that. I don't have time for that. And part of it for me is I want to have a lot on the line, because a lot with those games was they're not actually that long. That's true. And part of it's the accomplishment of getting there is like, holy awesome. Having to sit through the bloody cutscene again if you don't beat the boss this time... Is a punishment, literally. And that makes it that once you beat him, it's like, yes! Now to be clear, I ration my use of save states. I use save states for convenience and for time management. I do not use them to cheat. So a game like Final Fantasy Tactics is... Have you ever played it? No, but I... Play it now! Play it, go home, and play it. It is great. I've always... I played a game that was a tactics game that wasn't Final Fantasy and I loved it. And then everyone was like, play Final Fantasy! And I just... I don't know why I haven't. I'm excited to. I want to. I own it. I just have to. Play it now. Okay, so anyway, but it's a turn-based... It's a turn-based strategic... Yeah, the strids. Yeah. Yeah, good game. So it would be so easy to cheat with save states. But I don't. I use save states to make sure that I can pause the game when I have to walk away for it for two days. See, that's cool. Because when I was a kid, right, and I didn't have an emulator and I had a Super Nintendo, I'd just have to leave my SNES on for like a week sometimes. I've done that. Of course you have. Yeah, I've done that so many times. And if the power goes out, it's like, come on! Yeah, yeah. Come on! You've got to make sure that where your console is isn't an enclosed space and it can breathe, or else it'll like overheat and die. Yeah, Twitch chat. Twitch chat. Now. Just do it. Tactics now. I saw that. I saw that. Great game. I saw that. Oh, people are asking how to get the hoodie that we're wearing. That's teespring.com slash whenchristmas. So the main store is just for past campaigns. We're still going to do like limited edition campaigns. So there you go. All right, what else do we have? What else do we have for this week? Oh, this is a really cool thing about the PlayStation 2 emulator. Much like many emulators can do, they are actually taking this opportunity to up sample the games. So they are running at, looks like 1292 by 896. Cool stuff. Apparently runs pretty smoothly. Only a few titles have been released for backwards compatibility so far. It's like some Star Wars stuff and stuff like that. That's probably why they haven't announced it yet. Well, okay, that's probably why they didn't announce it until now, I guess. This is posted by NineShadow on the forum. Samsung is bringing back the flip phone with a smart flip phone. Yes, my friends, a smart phone flip phone. To be fair, when we were in Japan, it doesn't really seem like the flip phone is fully dead. Yeah, okay, fair enough. There you go. Cool. CPU, 1.8 gigahertz, 1.4 gigahertz, big, little. Well, that's interesting, 768 by 1280. So they've gone not quite 16 by 9. Fairly interesting. Super AMOLED screen. So basically it's not like a flagship device or anything like that. But personally, I think there's a value to the flip phone. It does put the microphone closer to your mouth, so that's cool. It has 64 gigs of internal storage. Oh, no, never mind. Oh, sorry, no, no, no, no. I misinterpreted a couple of things here. That is a flagship phone. That's got an Exynos 7420, 3 gigs of RAM, 64 gigs of storage, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, and two 3.9-inch Super AMOLED displays with a 16-megapixel primary camera and a numeric T9 keypad. This site is in Chinese, and I did not translate it, but looking at the rating thing at the bottom, it's hilarious. Five out of five, five out of five, four out of five, one out of five. I have no idea what they got wrecked on, what they got wrecked on something. Can I help you? Oh, thank you. What else was I going to... Oh, yeah, do you think... Did you ever really text using T9? Was that a thing for you for a long time, or did you get a cell phone in there? Which one was T9? T9 was predictive number pad typing. Yeah, I did. Okay, so not like press it three times for... Yeah, no, I did. Oh, okay, you did. Do you think you could type faster on T9 than on a touchscreen still? I think I'd be out of the groove. I think I'd have to like... Because T9 was like a... you could have skill. Oh, yeah, you could be really fast on T9. I knew friends that were like insanity fast on T9. So like I think I'd have to get back into it. I still use it a little because I dial all my contacts with T9. Oh, interesting. You don't do that? I don't do that. Oh, it's by far the fastest way to call people because you just bring up the dial pad and then you're just like, boom. Yeah, and it brings up the corresponding T9 matches. And if... but if you dial phone numbers, it also recognizes that. That's what I do. Yeah, but you know people's phone numbers? Actually, a lot of people that I call. Well, I'll know a section. Like I'll know three digits. Yours I know because reasons. But like other people, like I know... Booty calls! I know four digits of my dad's. I know three digits of my brother's. Huh. Like I... yeah. I'll know like a little bit of different people's phone numbers. Enough that I can type it in there and it'll come up. Or it's in my favorite scene of the time. Do you think with practice you could get faster than touchscreen? When looking at the phone, yes. With touchscreen, I can text blindly. I don't think I can do that with T9s. And I think that's probably enough for me. Right. Yeah, that makes sense. I'm actually going to try and get like... I don't even know if it's going to be... I don't even know if they're going to have release it in North America, but I'm going to try and go back to a flip. I'm going to see if I can get a review unit of that phone. I'd be interested in what the battery life's like. Yeah, I'd be really interested to know what the battery life's like. Oh, oh, I can announce the offer code. So for $3 off everything in the Teespring store, the offer code is allcapsholiday. Some of you people in chat were complaining about the price tags. The price tags? Yeah. They were too expensive. The dollar-dollar bills? Yeah. So what up now, son? Oh. Yeah. $3 off. Boom. What else we got here? Um... It's a stupid watch. Oh, yeah, right. This stupid thing. Okay, so... You know what? I mean, it's not like the idea is stupid. Introducing the Block Smartwatch. We even ripped the name off of phone blocks. Now it's like watch blocks. So it's a modular smartwatch made of several links or modules, each of which can be a variety of different things, including a fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor, LED, SIMD, blood oxygen level, blah, blah, haptic feedback, camera, flash memory, developer module, kinetic charger, extra battery, body temperature, et cetera. We're live on Kickstarter, and that's when my interest level completely fell off the rails. So it's a really cool idea, and then you figure out that they're a Kickstarter project, and then it's no longer a really cool idea. Estimated shipping date is June 2016. Well, I guess it's still a cool idea. It's still a really cool idea. But I just have so little faith. I mean, just in the last week alone, okay? The coolest cooler made headlines for not having fulfilled its backers orders yet and having the cooler up for sale on Amazon in an attempt to recoup the money that they need to produce the units for the Kickstarter backers, which I kind of get, and if I was in their situation, that's a whole lot better than folding the company outright. But it really is a kick in the teeth for the Kickstarter backers who didn't get their cooler. And also recently, after raising a record $34 million on Kickstarter, Zeno went completely under. Will not be shipping, did not show demos during an office tour of the drone, the drone flying is folding and that's it. Devastating collapse, promised a lot of drones, failed to ship almost all of the promised units, and there you go. It's just, it's one of those things where it's like, okay, a retail price for a product is designed to cover the costs of making it, okay, for one thing, and then to cover the profit margin for the company. So what made anyone think, and this is something I've always wondered about, what made anyone think that getting all the funding for your first, I don't know, let's say 5,000 units, getting all that money to produce them at a reduced rate compared to what you're pretty sure you need to sell it for in order to be profitable, what made anyone think that that was going to kick start your company, that that was going to help you pay for the office and the employees that you need to ramp up development and bring the product to market? You're effectively just selling product. At a reduced price. At a reduced price. So you're not really making money. So you're selling at an unsustainable price already. And you're taking the people that will fanatically buy it at the normal price, giving them a discount, and those are the people that are actually going to start running your company. And that's your plan to achieve sustainability. So yeah, I wish the watch luck, the blocks watch luck. 400 milliamp hour battery is not dragging far in the processor. What you can do, just like everything else, and what we suggested to do with the laser razors, so if any of you guys bought that, rip. Well, no, it's fine. They got refunds. Oh, did they? Mm-hmm. Everyone on Kickstarter. I don't know how the Indiegogo campaign is doing, though. Oh, dear. Well, I guess it's not a refund because the campaign didn't finish. So they didn't pay out. Right. Okay. Just don't do it. Just wait for it to come out. If it costs, like, slightly more money, like, it's not going to be that much. It'll be fine. Wow, the Scarp raised 430,000 on Indiegogo and did get funded. So who knows? Maybe they'll prove us all wrong. But if they do, then just buy it then, man. Yes. Don't buy it now. It's like, don't preorder things we shouldn't have to say, but we do. Speaking of not preordering, I sure wouldn't preorder one of these, not that it's particularly expensive. LG has partnered with Walmart to make $10 Android phones. We're talking smartphones for $10. Are they great? No. But they are undercutting the previously cheapest phone, the $35 Firefox OS phone by a significant margin. It runs Android 4.4 KitKat. You get Wi-Fi, but no 4G. There is no front-facing camera, but you actually do get a micro SD slot. How many of these do you think are going to sell to people that aren't drug dealers? Oh. We were going the same place with that, but from opposite angles. Yes. I don't know. I mean, I could see people who just want, like, if my kid, okay, if my kid, you know, broke a phone and then needed a phone and didn't have enough allowance saved up for a new phone, I'd be like, yo, that's your phone. They'd be like, oh, really? And I'd be like, oh, really? Don't break your phone. Right. That's about how that conversation, I could see it being used for that. Yeah. I just, we should get one. You should review it. I mean, it would only cost $10. I'd be down for that. It would actually be pretty interesting. Like, how much does, like, compared to like a Note whatever, how much does like $1,000-something get you compared to this? That's really interesting. Is that worth it? The most insanity-priced performance test ever. All right. So let's... Are we doing the thing? Yeah. I wanted to do the, no, soon. Speaking of crowdfunding, although in this case, Fnatic is not crowdfunding to raise funds. They're just crowdfunding as a publicity stunt, which is what the more successful crowdfunding companies do. Like, that was what the Pono player did. They already had all their funding. You think Neil Young needs your, you know, $100,000 or $1 million or whatever Pono player raised? So Fnatic, I guess this means the end of their relationship with SteelSeries, but they have their own line of gaming equipment now. It would appear as though they have acquired Funk and gone ahead and released, well, basically what... I can't quite tell. I can't see them that closely. But it looks an awful lot like the existing Funk lineup. And yeah, they're basically saying, yep, it's no-nonsense gaming gear and it's for playing games and their peripherals, I guess. So there you have it. Yeah. So what a weird move for an eSports team to get into actually making hardware. Then again, you look at sort of us going, like, oh, we have a fan now or whatever else. I guess it's not that bizarre. But I mean, we also are not running out and trying to maintain that brand. Yeah, very, very, very interesting. AMD is bundling Star Wars Battlefront with select graphics cards, so that is pretty darn big news. So that's when you purchase an AMD Radeon R9 Fury graphics card, terms and conditions apply, C, blah, blah, blah, amd.com slash amdrewards for details. So that's pretty huge if you were planning to buy a graphics card and you were planning to buy Battlefront to play with your new graphics card, because that's like a, what, $70 value or something along those lines. And this is pretty freaking unexpected. Apple snuck a USB 3.0 compatible Lightning port into the iPad Pro. I absolutely love this article. So for one thing, the iFixit Teardown, I believe, yep, the iFixit Teardown found a USB 3.0 controller, so even though Apple hadn't said anything about it, the hardware's in there, and then they admitted, yes, it's in there. But, and this is great, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, no, maybe it was a different article I was reading about it, but it was like, and Apple users have been trying their USB 3.0, or their USB 2.0 Lightning connectors to see if they get the extra speed. They would, wouldn't they? USB 3.0 requires more pins, so what I'm assuming is that there's going to be a significantly modified Lightning connector that somehow works with it or whatever, and that'll all become more apparent in the future. So the current USB 2.0 models, I don't know if they'll be backwards or forwards compatible or how the whole thing's going to work, but yeah, looks like good stuff. I had really hoped that Apple would just go USB type C, but it looks like either they're not ready or they're going to continue down the Lightning path if they can find a way to make it more interoperable within their own ecosystem, which I get, totally get. So speaking of things that I get, I get to end the show now. But the after party is happening. I have pretested. We are going to be watching UltraWide Festival honorable mentions today. See you in the after party. I'm basically just a shitty person at the end of the day. No. I have my redeeming qualities. You're just a narcissist.
