 To the WAN show WAN show WAN show It's my favorite show Because it is my show This would be if it was your show It would be your favorite I forget how the song goes Whatever, it's Tom Green Tom Green show It's not the Green Tom I don't remember the tune because I never watched the Tom Green show I didn't really like it Yeah, I can't tell you why Tom Green show I'm not mistaken, that's the duct tape one, right? Uh, oh, I don't know Wait, no, that's the Red Green show I like the Red Green show You don't know who Tom Green is? He was like the pre-Jackass, like the shock value Oh, yeah He televised his testicular cancer operation and stuff Yeah, that's him Well, I mean, conquering cancer is good I don't want to look at his balls So there's good things and bad things about all of this Not much bad to say about our first teaser topic of the day So Skylake CPU's information has been leaked Oh, right, I'm also the next one I heard there was a lake in the sky I heard that was the information that was leaked Is the Skylake information leaked? That was the information that was leaked Is the Skylake leaking? Could be What are we going to do without our sky water? Is that what rain is? Skylake's leaking Clouds are actually just these big puffy balls You are the rain man The cloud just moves too quickly and then the water shifts over the side And it just falls down, that's what rain is Anyways, Google Project PHY I'm not going to really say anything else about that We'll talk more about it later It's a good thing this show is about technology and not weather patterns That's why when it's sunny out it doesn't look like the clouds are moving That's why when it's stormy out it looks like the clouds are moving really fast Speaking of stormy, my whole world is stormy right now Because Valve has released an update that enables paid mods through the workshop Something that... Yeah, we'll have to talk about it later Also the first USB Type-C phones are being announced And this is important for a number of reasons And we'll hit you with that later too First the intro Will it work? Will it work? NO! How did that not work? I told you, it's constantly broken That is so stupid This is a local file Square space Hold on, let me just turn the volume so loud I'm sorry headphone users, I'm sorry Click the thing, there you go Okay, how do I make that go away? Awesome I got this I wouldn't be able to do that right now No you wouldn't, your knee is broken Just like the difference between these two things is broken Also, LINDEN! Fresh box! It's so exciting! I'm so excited I would like my books to be fresh And I just can't hide it Oh I'm glad it's Friday I'm so glad it is Friday today I'm glad it's Friday too It has been a long friggin week Five weeks? It's been a long five weeks Guys, I was on vacation But you know what, I'm sorry We'll get into the actual show later First I'm gonna talk about my vacation I was on vacation but it was like The worst vacation ever I mean, infants Toddlers You name it They were there and they were my problem And they were sick Imagine this, think about this You've ever been on a plane right and there's like a crying baby Right across the aisle from you And you're just like Holy crap Won't that parent shut that kid up? I could go over there And pound them into the ground And take that kid and throw it out the plane I don't even like babies So yes, that Now imagine for a second That you're that person with everyone Staring at you Well maybe you should shut the kid up What are you supposed to do? I don't know, I'm not a dad, it's your job You wanna hit them? You think then they won't cry? You think that's how it works? I can't tell welders how to weld I'm not a dad Do you think there's a friggin manual? Well there is, but it's not very good No, the government of BC They have like Seriously? Yeah, there's like an infant one and a toddler one Is it Finland where they send you like a whole package? It's like this big box And you have a whole bunch of supplies And I don't know if there's any books on how to do anything But there's a whole bunch of supplies and stuff And when you're done and you empty out the box Like when you take everything out of it, the box becomes a crib And you can put it in the back of the package And you can put it in the back of the package And you can put it in the back of the package I thought we were talking about something else But that's a cool story though So anyway, worst vacation ever And then I come back For like 2 or 3 days or something like that Maybe 2 days At the end of the vacation I go to Japan And I have to hang out with this guy For like 3 days or something like that And we did the Japan WAN Oh my goodness that was such a long day I think I had to wait air longer than I was in Japan For that trip Awesome So after Japan I came back I was home for 2 or 3 days Then I went down to Florida to film a thing for Intel and HP And I was down there for like 3 days So basically I arrived late at night Because that's not a short flight Vancouver to Florida is about as far as it gets Within North America Not quite, but like pretty darn close So I like wasted an entire day flying Plus the time change So it's like 11 hours In the air And if you count being at the airport on time So it's like 13 or 14 hours Including transit times and stuff Then I basically crash Film all day the next day Go home and work Go back to the hotel work, crash Then I burn the entire next day Going back up to Canada Thankfully I got my 3 hours back But it was like an early morning flight So I get back, I go to NCIX, I film Lanshow after filming a couple things Then I'm like I go home I sleep Friday night I get Saturday with my family And then 1pm Sunday I ship off to Munich So I go to Germany With Nick Van Berkel And then I'm there until Thursday Wednesday night this week Finally yesterday I was back in the office, back in action Today I was back in the office It is good to be back And we are going to get going on some of those projects I mean people have been asking Why is Luke in so many of the videos these days? Because Lannis has been all over the freaking planet It hasn't been in the studio Quite literally When are we getting more scrap yard boards? Well gee I don't know, maybe we would have to have one of our two co-hosts In the country For that to happen For like any reasonable amount of time You had a plan To shoot a scrap yard board That was insane But at one point in time he was like No man we have to do another one I'll be back for two days I can land, we can film the whole thing All of it in the two day period There's no way that's going to work But I'm back And we will have We will be filming a scrap yard board To coincide with the opening of the new office You guys should let me know If you want to see a new office update Presumably they've been working on it I haven't seen it I would love to go in and show you guys How the sets are going and how the office building out is going I'm personally Mostly focused these days On building up the new IT infrastructure To put into the new office I'm really excited about that Luke and I were looking at the numbers Kind of going Oh snap son, we're going to have $245,000 deons $11,000 worth of Kingston SSDs We're going to have I think it was $16,000 worth of Seagate Hard Drives This is just Four things Out of all the servers I think we're going to have something like three or four racks in there There's the Norco racks There's the 45 drives rack There's potentially A rack for the A dedicated rack for the security system that you don't even know about yet Well a lot of high end security systems need rack mount So I'm not surprised at all So that's a whole other thing So yeah, we're going to be looking at Some pretty mad gear In that room I'm getting all of that arranged ahead of time So that when we move in We're going to have some wicked infrastructure I don't know if some of you guys saw The Instagram post that I sent out before The WAN Show today But what I've been working on most of the day today Is consolidating all of the data off of The stupid shelf covered in hard drives Onto the Storinator So that's the 45 drives Rack mountable system And I've been building up The new day to day Use server So that's the one with the 24 By the way they are not V300 SSDs So many people are like, oh why are you using Kingston V300 They're actually Kingston KC series drives So they're the new KC Wow I should really know this The box they came in was here Somewhere but I've lost it, don't worry about it KC something or other anyways It's their new KC series business drive So that is what we're actually using So it's going to have 24 Drives in RAID 50 Oh KC 310 24 drives in RAID 50 So just for lulls I made a 24 drive RAID 0 So each 8 drive chunk is RAID 0 Then I RAID 0 Striped the entire 3 Arrays on each of the 3 RAID cards and that I had a lot of people saying, oh Linus has got A RAM drive set up No No that's 24 SSDs running in RAID 0 On some pretty High end LSI controllers Those are 9271s Pretty nice controller cards So in total Most people in chat are like, WTF is RAID 50 Ah yes, okay It's RAID 5 I think that was Nope, that's the only explanation they need I was doing this because I was expecting you were going to talk And I was going to do the symbolism while you were talking I actually do that at a surprisingly large But it didn't work out Because there was no speech Okay I can talk now So RAID 50 is the way we're actually going to run the SSDs and that is with 3 8 drive RAID 5s So that's 7 plus 1 for Parity, okay so we lose 3 drives worth of capacity And then I'm going to take those 3 RAID 5s and use the operating system to Software stripe them, so we're going to get A total of I think it's around 19 Terabytes of usable RAID 50 storage and I ran some benchmarks On that too, performance is Looking really good, especially for Reads, which is what we want because This is something that people are going to be using To playback media In real time Between 4K on their project timelines On their individual workstations So that one's going to have 20 Gigabytes Excuse me, sorry 20 Gigabytes of SSD storage-ish And then it can withstand up to 3 drives being lost as long as it's 1 per array, and there's going to be a cold spare Just in case something does fail so we can pop that In there, I could have gone with a hot Spare and a RAID 5 but then I Only get 18 drives worth of Capacity, which kind of sucks And especially because we're going to be backing it up Constantly to another server throughout the day I figure what the hay, let's just Let it do its thing You know what I mean? So that's going to be super awesome Then it's going to have 20 gigabit per second Bandwidth to the rest of the Office, so people will be able To actually draw data off of it At 2 gigabytes Per second sustained Madness Absolutely, no, Sparta No New Office Get it? You have to like Spit a lot though I can't do it because it's going to peek the crap out of the mic Yeah, I was kind of thinking about it too I was like, should I do it? If we had a really good attenuation Set up, I'd just go for it All the headphone users are just going to Literally bleed I'm going to get saliva all over the blade And then go up Yeah, it would still spray on there Like it could even get on you There are certain ways I like to apply Saliva to you For an epic yell, oh wow So let's go ahead and get The show underway So let's start with the Squeak Lockers article Someone just said 20 gigabyte raid Wow Linus, nope That's wrong, anyways Did I say 20 gigabyte? Oh I did too Oh did you? Yeah I did, 20 terabyte Raid, sorry, sorry No, no Anyways, Squeak Lockers article, I can actually post it in the chat The threat Wow Wensho It's a good thing it's live For who? I don't know So As you might expect This might be a little bit hard to read But if you can scroll down You can make pretty good sense of The chart, or I believe on The Linus Tech Tips article which I can Also post, I think it has an English version So basically, I mean it's mostly Numbers and things that we can pretty Much interpret on our own, so the top end Skylake model Is going to be a 4 core, 8 thread 4 gigahertz 95 watt TDP Sounds an awful lot like The last So 4790K has an 88 watt TDP, has the same amount Of L3 cache, turbos to a Higher amount at 4.4 has The same base and the same core And thread count So Unless there are some Serious IPC improvements Here, we are looking at Another generation of status Quo Sounds very much like status quo I'm sure there will be a 10% Improvement The 6600K breaks the Traditional naming scheme Of the core i5 4 core 4 thread Variant of the high end one Which is exceptional for no Reason whatsoever I don't know We have a pretty high clocked T-Skew which is actually Pretty sexy looking There is a 2.8 gigahertz 3.6 turbo 35 watt processor So I can geek out over that a little bit That's kinda cool I mean if you're into like Wow, that's actually That's pretty cool There's no like super badass Option But the good News is that Intel has finally actually Restored some validity To the high end platform The 11v3 You don't want people to restore Validity to something by like Stopping making the other thing better It's not like they stopped making it better But like You know what I mean Because there might be improvements in other areas that don't really show up on the chart very well But it's probably Gonna be that good old 10% that we've Gotten used to 35 watt suck it The first USB type C Phones are being announced This is off of Stuff.tv And you've probably never heard of it You know what I'm gonna confess I haven't actually Looked at this yet so I believe they're all Chinese phones So I don't think any of them are going to be Necessarily available here they're all I believe LeTV or LeTV I'm not sure how you're actually supposed to say it LeTV would be my guess I could be wrong But I like it that way Phone USB type C I think it's one or two phones and a phablet So you're not even classifying them as Phones anymore No alright I'm not against you I'm just saying They're just so Dumb Not a big phablet guy Because I'm not a big guy I get why some people like them Just to be clear I get why some people Like them but you know it was really Refreshing for me to see the Galaxy S6 just Be a normal size And not have to up the ante In terms of just making it bigger I do have to say though this phone is Too small the iPhone 5S Height is probably okay but like When my thumb takes up that much Of the screen I can't type I don't have my 6 on me but I Bet the 6 would be more like your size I typo almost every word Like it's insane The thing I don't like about the 6 though Is the rounded edges it just It doesn't work for me I like this one's form factor very much Except I just wish like just make it a bit wider And then everything else would be great So I actually finished my Galaxy S6 review Okay hold on we should probably Talk about USB 3.0 Type C So just to be clear guys USB 3.0, USB Type C Doesn't necessarily have to be USB 3.1 this is actually something I didn't realize I think I even Did a fast as possible Where I might have actually covered That it doesn't have to be 10 gigabit But didn't like absorb I think I covered it a little bit In my MSI coverage at CES I thought they all had to be 10 gigabit Turns out they don't so The first USB 3.0 Type C Device that we'll be getting Like finished device I don't know If I'm allowed to say anything about it But it's going to be a USB 3.0 Type C So that's 5 gigabit per second Versus USB 3.1 Type C Which is 10 gigabit per second So I'm not necessarily expecting phones To have 10 gigabit per second connectivity Because there would be literally No benefit at all Like even high end phones Like the Galaxy S6 right now Would not be even close to saturating USB 3.0 If in just in sustained transfer rate So it's not a concern at all For the time being But the benefits either way Are that it's reversible So you don't have to fumble for it in the dark In theory, although this has not Been validated yet It is more durable than Micro USB Type B I have some worries about that I do too, but you know what If there were two companies That I would expect to kind of Validate something Before tossing it out To all their customers They would be Apple Apple implemented it Yeah, but Apple has been changing a lot Apple has never adopted Micro B though And Lightning is an excellent connector Yeah, I think Lightning is a lot better Than Type C In terms of just the physical connector They adopted Type C Not only did they adopt Type C And remember, Apple's warranty policies Are extremely good So for them to go, okay We're betting on Type C being The only connector To plug in anything else Apparently, they expect that to last For the lifetime of that device With the Type C that I've worked with so far And this could be a not fully released Thing Because it was all tester stuff This could be a wasn't worn in enough At all yet thing because it was fresh But like, to plug it in You have to like push Pretty hard and to take it out You have to pull pretty hard Like when I first plugged it in, I thought it was fully plugged in And then let go And I was like, oh interesting, I didn't feel it lock And then Burkle was like, ugh And shoved it in and it clicked in And I was like, wow, okay And then you have to reef on it pretty hard to get it out Like it's weird and I'm Worried about the amount of force that it takes Right I feel like it could be bad for multiple things Interesting, well I have a Type C And prototype device downstairs That I'll be checking out, maybe I'll take it home this weekend This was quite a while ago and this was with like Super tester level stuff so That could all be wrong So anyway, those phones Oh yeah, alright, there's a bunch Of other benefits so you can connect your device to An external display through it I mean you can do a lot of different things through it With dongles and what not Thanks to the USB at least 3.0 Bandwidth As well as just the flexibility of the connector Standard I have a lot of hope for it being better than Micro B Because almost anything would be better than Micro B Yeah, I'm sure it would be So there's that, we can talk a little bit about those phones So there's a low end one with a 5.5 inch 1080p display A MediaTek X10 processor 3 gigs of RAM, 3000 mAh Battery, it's funny how like A 3000 mAh battery, 3 gigs of RAM And a 1080p screen are a low end phone These days, it's nice The mid range one has a 2K display Snapdragon 810 processor 4 gigs of RAM And the high end phablet one is also a 2K display About 6.3 inch, so it's huge 4 gigs of RAM, Snapdragon 810 And AKG audio apparently They're getting into the whole Rebranded audio thing You know the funny thing about that Is the companies that are Rebranding the phones Whether it be at Beats or AKG or you know Harmon Kardon or whatever else DAX And for that matter Does AKG even make speakers? Uhh, not that I know of But I could totally be wrong about that I don't know enough So I guess it's just like a certification process Microphones and headphones Maybe the microphone is really good Or something, anyway Let's move on to another phone Okay, sorry I have to show this Headphones for your lifestyle And it shows that dude hugging what I presume Is his girlfriend and it's like I'm not listening to you Hello, good to see you, okay bye Is that a closed? Yeah that's a closed Closed back headphone man Here, is that just AKG.com? Alright, we gotta share that With you guys, let me just go ahead Fire that up on my screen So that's what's going down Over here, it doesn't go down Apparently because Yeah, yeah, it's the one arm hug too Yep, and he's like not even looking at her Here's the one arm hug I'm looking at something behind you He's checking out the chick behind her It's totally happening Maybe it's his sister And the girl behind her is the one he's actually interested in So he's like, oh hey, yeah good to see you And then going to the other girl I'm creating a back end storyline It's his sister You're all about the back end aren't you Alright, so moving on to the OnePlus 2 The original article here is from Android Central And I have the M link in here There we go You will finally be able to buy the OnePlus 1 whenever you want But They are also going to be Reintroducing the invite system With the launch of the OnePlus 2 Which we're expecting sometime in the third quarter So sometime in about the next 3, 2, 6 Months So as annoyed as you were With OnePlus and the whole You know, invite system Or send us your sexy photos And you can get a phone Or you can buy a phone Or whatever All of the completely disastrous stuff I guess it's all coming back They do have some comments about the OnePlus 2 So we'll be far more prepared To make the transition Into whatever the original Transition was Something something We're committed to maintaining razor thin margins In order to give as much value as possible Back to users And this increases our risk It will bring the challenges that came along with the brand new product And initially our invite system will help us to manage that risk It also helps us to be sure That every OnePlus 2 user gets the amazing experience That they deserve Sure man So With some rumored specs of the OnePlus 2 There's a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 Processor, Android 5 Dual SIM card support which is kind of cool For like some people I think it's kind of cool but not everyone will necessarily care I'd find it useful 4GB of RAM, Micro SD card support which is going away On a lot of phones so that's nice to see I was really surprised to see Galaxy S6 With no removable battery and no Micro SD And a 3300 mAh battery With that said The one time That I've ever really had To use Micro SD on an Android device It let me down I tried to use the Micro SD expansion on my Shield portable I can't figure out what Nvidia is calling Any of this stuff Is that one of our news articles today? I didn't look at it in the article but they renamed The Shield console They renamed it Shield Android TV It's like what are you? Are you Android TV? Are you Shield? You don't know what you are And So I think it's Still called the Shield portable The handheld one I wanted to store some emulated Games, some ROMs on it Like the original Shield See exactly Shield Classic Now with more Aspartame The Shield tablet is technically handheld That's true I'm not saying you're wrong, it's just confusing It's incredibly confusing I wanted to put some ROMs on an SD card Turns out that if you load a ROM off An SD card with the Retro whatever arc Whatever it's called Save states Not that we condone Original cartridges and all that noise So save states don't save They try to save and then there's like A write permissions problem Something something I have to put it on the actual internal memory So I'm sitting here going, what do you people actually use this for? Because I've switched to a streaming music service Photos and videos So you don't use the videos part Photos But you're not going to take photos with your Shield Well even on my phones 16 gigs is not enough So I don't buy into that I'm not going to take 32 gigs of photos And I don't need A bazillion apps I like to think people have mostly gotten over The I need 200 apps on my phone Thing because there's I mean I can't come up with a reason To have more than about 50 And then like a plus or minus Like 10 for like the couple games you're playing right now I have the junk folder And then I have the super junk folder And the super junk folder I don't have Probably more than 50 but the super junk folder Is literally just like the stuff That comes with the phone that I can't get rid of Bell mobility apps Or like whatever junk that I might need To access once in however long Somehow Dbrand managed to Send me a bell phone And I was just like great I'm sure glad I didn't just Get a random carrier unlocked one It's like how did you find this? They're not even Canadian That's so random But yeah I mean I found that even Having some apps installed On my phone tanks the battery life Like I had that issue with And maybe it's resolved by now And maybe it was just particular to the 1M8 But I had that issue with Plex Just junking the battery life Of the 1M8 even when I wasn't using it At all So I don't know I think 32 gigs Is lots I think 64 gigs Is tons And the 128 gigs that I have On the iPhone 6 is like way more than enough So I don't know I don't care that much about SD expansion and I don't really care That much about removable battery But I do wish that the Galaxy S6 Had a higher capacity battery Are they? A bunch of people were like what? Oh oops Well Canadian owned and operated Founded on 11.11.11 Same time that Skyrim came out Yeah Never forget Skyrim release So right OnePlus is also expected to launch The OnePlus Lite So that is Not a phone it's a Lite Actually it's a phone So it's kind of a cut down version of So there's an event Wait event scheduled on the 20th of April This is an outdated article Dang it Well let's see if we can find some actual information On the OnePlus Lite which So it's like One plus one Lite Get it? So it's got great specs, features and improvements So the OnePlus Lite So this is from the Latino post Oh sorry I wasn't listening I was reading the Latino post I'm surprised their SEO is good enough That they were the first I think they were the second hit for OnePlus Lite Something along those lines Wow their site is slow Holy actual balls And they don't have just like It's just a link to John Rettinger's Video and then like A mass ton of ads The most ads Holy crap There's even one coming in down there This site is terrible so I don't care anymore I've lost my attention span for it So Google Project 5 Original article here is from Theverge.com Just in case you weren't sure If Google has all of your data yet Now you can be 100% Sure because they can be your Cellular provider That news last week about Bell Selling customer information Who would you rather Google or Bell at this point? You might as well keep it all in one place Google might as well just have all of it Since they already have it all anyway Like whatever I don't know Okay they do know where you are Alright fine Okay Taron posted on Something the other day that he was happy that That service that he posted it on Didn't necessarily know Where he worked And lived and what he did for work And all this kind of stuff because it would Keep asking him about it And I read it and didn't comment on it but I was like Dude They know where you're logging in and where You stay logged in overnight and then they know Where you log in every day and Who else all logs in there And then who else has those things filled in their Profiles while you're there Like they know They just want you to fill it out So that it can tell everyone else really easily So that you give them 100% information to know That information They know exactly what's going on That's why what is it like Kmart or whatever knows when people Are pregnant often before they do because Their shopping patterns will change and stuff Like they know Yeah it's done Anyways they want to be a cellular provider It will be Running on both Sprint and T Mobile switching between the two As well as Wi-Fi base Which is pretty cool, we'll talk about that more later 20 bucks a month gets you talking Texting and Wi-Fi tethering and International coverage in 120 plus countries And a flat, this is a really interesting Pay model for their data Hold on can I jump in for a minute? How is Wi-Fi tethering not included? I mean in other places How is Wi-Fi tethering still A feature? It is 2015 Man that makes me mad Every time I go down to the states Because I'm just using a pay as you go And like I get it You're not going to give You're not going to give it all away to the Pay once per use Customers if you know what I mean Wherever I was going with that So I get it You're not going to have every feature I don't expect to have voicemail Transcribing to text messages and sending it to me Like I get that But not being able to use the data that I paid for Is really frustrating Like I was trying to do something Are you playing the show? Oh uh No? All the people are saying Sorry I'm confused All the people are like hey Lonnie it's the WAN show starting I'm like what the? I don't know Do you want to just mute it just in case? It's muted That one Oh sure Cool Ok sorry So where was I going with this? Right right right right right So I was like I'm going to use the data Why can't I use it on my laptop? Like I was trying to figure out a login problem with PayPal And I was like freaking out And the mobile site wasn't working properly on my phone I was just like I would really like To use another device right now For like two minutes I just need to load a couple pages Reset a password Anyway sorry go ahead It's not like you're going to not do it You're just going to do it in a more annoying way Google's including tethering Interesting pay model for data I like I don't know ok so it's a flat $10 Per gigabyte of data in the US And abroad which is nuts for one But then if you don't use your data You get credit back for what you didn't use So if you go with a 3 gigabyte Plan so it's $30 And only use 1.4 gigabytes In a month you get $16 back And if you go over you only pay The same $10 per gigabyte Wait What So why have a Why isn't it all just flex plans Right Like what Like I'm sitting here reading this But like ok Isn't it going to be a lot more work to deal with all the credits Back and forth Why don't you just make everything A flex plan anyways I don't know So if you go over your cap Exactly the same as if you didn't go over Your cap but had a higher cap So you can put like a data Cap in your phone and cap it that way Or you can just pay the same amount all the time And it's fine Anyways so it's pay for only what you use Which is great It's not pay for only what you use it's pay for as much as you think you'll use And get credit back for what you didn't use I guess It requires a special SIM card for project 5 Which makes sense Works on both existing nexus 6 devices And new ones so I don't know if it's only a nexus thing Oh right Available for only nexus 6 owners my bad No contract no family plans available But it's pretty freaking Cheap so whatever Phone numbers live in the cloud So you'd be able to make Calls and do text messaging stuff From your computer through your phone number So that's definitely Going to be a hangouts integration thing That's awesome I mean it was one of the Things that I liked about I don't even remember what the word they have For it now is but when I had the iMac and the iPhone 6 At the same time Shoot I don't remember what the word for it was But I could take calls on the iMac Which was a terrible experience because the Microphone is on the back of the display because Apparently Apple's engineers don't understand how sound works But on a device That actually has a decent Microphone solution plugged into it That would be awesome my phone could just stay in my pocket And I could just throw my headset on when I'm sitting at my computer At work freaking great Yeah so I'm happy about that I think that's really cool So it's invite only So there's that also Looks like it's Nexus 6 only for now So basically Most people unless they have large hands And an invitation Are not going to be taking advantage Of this particular offer Alright Yeah I'm sure it will open up more later But for now it's pretty locked down I send invitations to people with large hands Anyways DOJ which I don't know what that stands for Department of Justice Cool they could stop Comcast from becoming a mega Terrible thing with Time Warner which is good Because of anti trust laws So apparently Comcast has actually Dropped it's 45.2 billion Dollar bid on Time Warner In light of the DOJ Becoming mad and being like you can't do that I think they were going to What is it actually called Lawsuit they were going to put down a federal lawsuit So then Comcast was like nope We don't even necessarily Need to keep talking about it Because I guess it's not happening But it could have made them control 30% Of the market for pay TV which is A lot They would have controlled more than 50% Of broadband internet market in the United States Which is a crap ton So I'm happy that the DOJ did something I guess The thing that I don't The thing that Continues to bother me though Is that they're cozy enough that they wanted to merge So it's not like Having them remain separate It's not like they're not going to work together It's not like the consumer wins It's not like Yeah choice free market Because they've already been avoiding each other In terms of market share So that's not going to stop It's going to get a little bit more aggressive I doubt it Why? You already have enough money to buy the Earth And all the heavens No it might become more aggressive about not Being in the same market share They might even just avoid each other more See it's funny because I thought you meant business aggressive But what you actually meant was Just being a jackass aggressive Aggressively We need like a shirt Aggressively is such a Nicely dynamic Word Because you can be aggressively in love with someone Or you can aggressively hate someone Or you can Or something can have Aggressive lines on it Tell me Tell me this If you're in love with someone and then someone Smacks that person We're going to straw pull this Because if it's like Okay Aggressive love Yes No You know Pursuing one's aims or intents forcefully Sometimes unduly so Hold on, can we just Put this out to the Audience It doesn't matter because words mean What we decide that words mean Because without us You have defended the exact opposite of what you just said So many times Can we all just calm down for a second Half the Twitch chat is talking about rape right now I didn't say it was a good thing Oh, okay I didn't say it was a good thing at all So you're not saying it's a good thing But Because what I was going to say Is if I'm Staring into her eyes And it's like Okay I gotta think of something charming to say right now Am I going to be like My love for you is aggressive Is aggressive No, don't do that It attacks me It carves out chunks of my body and soul And takes it for itself I guess in like the right context If you were like an emo scene couple An emo scene couple maybe What you just said No, no I'm just putting the option out there The audience likes it But they're wrong I now know what percentage of our audience is single Aggressive love is It works It's just not necessarily a good thing It works Terms don't have to be good Okay, I think it's time to I think it's time to To move on Let's do our sponsor spots You know what I love Aggressively Linda.com I mean just I gotta load up the You know Linda is just I mean this is the kind of Are you aggressively studying This is the kind of love that I could get aggressive about Oh wow, there's certain People on there Who are these people?

See I didn't Let you screw me up. I didn't Even- who was that sponsor I used To always get the amount wrong for? Remember I used to never know how much It cost? Yeah I think that's the one I think that is the one. I don't know Yeah I screwed up nothing today Ha! Take that All of you Alright so What? Do we have 11 pages Of topics today? We've actually been Fairly on topic today and we're still Like- There's a lot of rapid Fires though. We're still boned Alright so Norway This is phenomenal. Norway Will be the first country to shut Down FM Radio The Ministry of Culture Has finalized a transition Date in 2017 And I think this is asinine There's a lot of technological Advancements that I believe in But there are Advantages to Radio that Are not Necessarily overcome by mobile Data networks I- I- Yeah Okay yeah So it's not like There isn't another plan So it'll be digital audio broadcasting Also known as DAB Which will offer better audio quality DAB Plus. Specifically plus The DAB radios will not work So better audio quality Other functionality like showing information about the Station you're listening to and what Song is playing which by the way we have On FM Radio So that's a thing The transition will cost Norway the equivalent Of 1.3 billion US dollars And the 200,000 DAB radios will become useless As they don't support DAB Plus They've already started advertising For the Switch. You get more radio In a digital radio and I- I just- I plain Don't get it because the reality of It is we use FM Radio Because It's cheap Because it's got great legacy compatibility And because it's Good enough both in terms of Broadcast range And in terms of audio quality I mean we can get radio stations from Seattle up here. I do all the time Which I do all the time. If you want To Reach a bunch of people Radio is still a great way to do it because The reality of it is pretty much Everyone still owns At least one radio And we can kind of Count on that to work like when everyone You know jumps on their cell phones In an emergency. Well radio is a- Yeah I was just going to say radio is a lot of time The emergency frequencies. Yeah so And I get it. DAB Plus radios Are not cell phones But we're counting on people to have them So the people who don't Have those and we can't necessarily Reach by cell phone or mobile data Because let's say there's an emergency and Everyone jumps on it and it's totally congested Radio is going to be the way to reach these people I don't understand why we need to phase this out Someone in chat said That they live in Norway and it just Seems like they always just want the newest stuff Alright well Newest is not necessarily Always The best thing. I mean I Actually had a really- I had a good conversation With Brendan about the- some of the New cameras that were released at NAB So those of you who were following Our NAB coverage Probably less than half of you based on the view counts Would know that there Was about half of our normal view counts Even for show coverage Would know that RED released an 8K sensor upgrade to Their RED Whichever platform it is. I think it's the Dragon So this is called the RED Weapon and I think Whatever. I think the camera once You put the upgrade in it is called a RED weapon It's very confusing because They had the- because if you upgraded the RED epic to the new sensor It became a RED dragon And then I think- yeah anyway so I didn't think the weapon was an upgrade I thought you had to Like- Buy the weapon? Not sure. Anyway- I think you could Exchange. And then it's 20 grand Or 10 grand or something? It was 10 grand At the show, 20 grand after. The point is They have an 8K sensor and I was talking To Brandon about it because Marcus has ordered one Already as we know and We were just kind of talking about it And he was going, why would we be using this? 4K is Already- I mean Sort of- I'm going to let you guys in on a little Secret. We were releasing 4K videos on YouTube that were up sampled 1080p for a long time Nobody ever noticed No one can tell because the Main advantage of 4K playback on YouTube right now is the higher bit rate And when you factor in Also that the cameras that we shoot on The Sony FS700 and The Panasonic GH4 Both have 4K sensors So their 1080p is actually Down sampled. It's like super sampled Because it's down sampled 4K When you blow that back up it looks Pretty darn freaking good Anyway, especially at any kind Of reasonable viewing distance. So unless you're Pixel peeping, 4K is Way more than enough for web video And to which I kind of went, well there's the future Proofness argument. Maybe you need more pixels In case you want to republish Am I ever going to republish a YouTube video? On like some kind of futuristic You know, 5, 10 years from now Platform? Probably not. So We were talking about it a little bit and we kind of Decided that 4K Is already more than enough for us So we'll be sticking with 4K and I just Feel like shooting at a higher resolution Is going to complicate the workflow In a way that is just not worthwhile To me. I mean if you're just one Person working on it I guess I can see why Marcus would like to do it because he's got the time To kind of tinker around with it and play with it And only one person has to learn a new Workflow with us, we're trying to Figure out, okay, maybe We could invest that, you know, 10,000 Or 20,000 dollars On back end equipment That makes the 4K workflow butter smooth And absolutely perfect as opposed to Yeah, so things like Storage servers, that's something that A lot of content Creators completely ignore For some inexplicable reason Is having a proper Storage setup, which is what we're moving to Finally So, and that's the kind of thing that For the price of something like a decked out Mac Pro and like You know, a red weapon for example You could have an amazing Workflow As opposed to a couple of really cool pieces Of equipment, so I guess it's A priorities thing And also a scale thing because I'm not going to go and buy 12 core Mac Pros for 4 editors That is like straight up not happening Whereas if it was for one, then maybe You could pull my, you know, twist my arm A little bit Google Is, yeah Wow, look at that, is ditching the old YouTube API, so let's go ahead and It's not probably as big of a deal as it sounds For instance, the LinusTechTips.com Website Used V2 and now uses V3 Okay I don't know, not a huge deal They will have to retroactively update devices So, things that use the V2 API such as some smart TVs Android and Apple TVs, certain Game consoles, iOS devices That are old and outdated, stuff like that Would need an update But it's not like they can't be updated Well, an iOS 5 locked device might not be Able to be updated, so you might Straight up not be able to use YouTube If you're using an Apple TV Second generation or older, there's no current Way to watch YouTube on these devices Straight up So, that's really sucky I guess, I guess we learned A lesson about buying Functionality locked boxes Yeah PC for life Wooo! This won't really affect your website things So it's fine, cause like every Website ever was like, oh And then just updated it By the way, thank you, Colonel Mortis Oh my goodness Colonel Mortis Why? That was posted by Alex Goes High Oh, okay Right, we should probably be saying who posted Lord Sparklebottom, Roozy Top War Gamer, Cool Kingler One, I Like Mac and PC Syntax VGM Lord Sparklebottom Again, and Alex Goes High Have given us the news For this week so far And Wurto165 I both appreciate your effort and wish You had never brought this to our attention at all Because this is basically The worst news of the week Steam has introduced A new way to support Workshop Creators and align the pockets Of Valve Executives Wait, they don't have that second part in the headline Support Workshop Creators in the smallest possible way And align the pockets of Valve Executives as much as possible Starting with The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Of course Buying from the Steam Workshop Try any mod risk free For 24 hours Nothing to do with long term support though, that's kind of funny Buying mods and made By like, you know, casuals that Don't have to support it At all after the, wow, that's really weird So, with over 24,000 free mods I guess there's nothing here about the ones that are Becoming paid very quickly Now that there is a price on it And calling all creators Earn money doing what you love Yep, set your own price That's cool, you can add contributors And where's the Where's the part about the 25%? Hold on 75%? Oh, that's Not on here, that's weird So, let's Let's dive into this, this is very much a developing Story right now, so everything we're saying now Take it as The information that we had in sort of The hours leading up to WAN Show today And not much more than that, but I guess I'm Let's go with just the facts Then I think each of us will probably have to weigh In separately because I think we're gonna have kind of Differing opinions here So why don't we just do the facts? The initiative was introduced Yesterday, pitched as a way To support the people that made the mods, I mean We saw that on the page, compensating These creators as a way to inspire new modders To try their hand at creating new higher Quality items and experiences You can make cosmetic items Sound packs, custom skins, fancy houses Epic quests, entire new cities, horse Genitals, whatever the case may be, for Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Many more of your favorite Workshop games will support paid Content in the coming weeks, and They offer refunds for mods that are broken Or don't work as promised within 24 Hours of your purchase The Sort of stuff that wasn't on the page That was discovered later And has outraged some consumers And presumably some creators is that The creator only receives 25% Of the revenue From the mod sale So a $10 mod is actually giving $2.50 to your Favorite creator and $7.50 To Valve There's, I guess Let's, you go first You're Running with it, I can go first, okay One thing is We like TotalBiscuit here He's been on the show before, he has a Video on it, his content patch Number 195 is All about this, and he's probably Way more well informed than we are, so we will Talk about it for sure, but I actually highly Suggest going and checking out his thing, I have not Watched it yet, I'll watch it later I didn't know there was a thing, I will also Watch it later, I'm very interested in what he Has to say about it, good ol' John Bane I don't like this for a number of reasons First off, is the 24 hour support thing What? Hey, um People are like, going off and Chatting about this, there's more information that came out Apparently, the 75% Is 45 developer 30 Valve, like 45 original Game developer Okay, so I'm just Because you said 75 Valve Okay, alright, so 45 Game developer Yep, 30 Valve 25 mod developer That's what people in the chat are saying Okay, that's interesting Good to know, doesn't really change my Opinion on it, okay, so carry on then Yes, well maybe slightly But not enough to really make an impact, so A big part of my issue With this is that a lot of mods break things Straight up break things, they can corrupt save files Sometimes, they can make it so you can Maybe the save file isn't corrupted But you can't play it with that mod And you can't play it without that mod, so it's useless There's They can conflict like crazy There's just A huge amount of issues with Mods, and that's fine When they're all free, but what What happens if you have a whole bunch of free mods Installed, and then you install a paid one And it breaks all your free ones Or the other way around, you have a whole bunch of paid Mods installed, you install a free one, it breaks all Of those, it doesn't matter for 24 hours And like, okay, if it breaks my whole Save, I don't care about the $1.50 That the mod cost me I care about the Hundreds and hundreds of potential hours That I have into this game, we're talking about stuff like Skyrim I could have played that game for 800 hours, have a whole bunch of Content mods installed that like Double quadruple The actual game length massively increase What I'm doing, I could have been playing on that one Character the whole time, and it could be Totally screwed because of that Yeah, you can say you should be backing up your save file, you should be doing all this other kind of stuff But still, it's gonna happen to someone And that's, that's crazy You only have a 24 hour window to get your money back And getting your money back isn't even the biggest Problem there Okay, continuing on, past that Part, the 75% thing Is ridiculous, 45% goes to the Game For just including mod support Like, I'm totally down with supporting the Game developer, and sure, maybe some percentage Of it should go to the game developer Because we want to encourage them to Actually have stuff like mod support And with single player experiences Like Skyrim, where is their recurring Revenue? Nothing Yeah, exactly, so I'm actually, I'm cool with giving Some of the money to the game 45% is really high I think they need to Invert this whole System, I think Valve needs to get Maybe 25% I think the game needs to get Maybe 30% And I think the mod developer needs to get probably more than 45% I think it needs to be completely flipped Anyways If it even keeps those percentages at all Yeah, I don't think that added to 100, but I get your point That's the numbers you gave me 45, 30, and 20, that's why I'm like, what? Oh, I thought I got confused when you were Oh, okay, no, I know it doesn't work There's 5% missing, no, it's 25, 25 mod 25 mod, that's your problem Okay, so I have Some thoughts on this as well, so there's a couple Of things, one very Positive takeaway from this is you see The big blockbuster games, like your Skyrim See, this is what I'm talking about That's a whole Other thing We can talk about The fact that people are Stealing mods and re-uploading them And Valve will not Pay the There's a $400 cap, anyway All of these little rules Are basically just sort of piling On to the crappiness that Is getting dealt to the modder In all of this I was actually reading up on a couple Of these things as you were talking, but There's a couple main Bigger picture things that I want to address So number one is That it makes sense to me That the game developers who are Spending the time To develop these great single player Experiences are getting paid for it I mean, we see mod support With games like Grand Theft Auto And with games like Elder Scrolls, where these are Big budget games where they're Expecting to sell A thousand bazillion copies And pretty much, okay, we don't have any Recurring revenue from this game But it's okay Because we're going to make that Massive amount of money and there's going to be a Really long tail on the sales For years, like you could Still buy Oblivion and it would still be a great Gaming experience today, even though It's been out for like eight years Or something along those lines So the Blockbuster games They can include mod support Without worrying about it too much But what incentivizes a Smaller game developer to Build a great single player experience? Almost nothing Why do we see a billion Online multiplayer Games? Why do we see a billion mobas With microtransactions For skins? Why do we see Everyone and their dog, I mean this was more of an issue Five or six years ago, but why do we see Everyone and their dog trying to build an MMO? Because game developers Want a recurring revenue stream For their work and they want to keep Going ahead and working on it and developing it Now, with all of That said, do I think Taking 45% of the revenue For the developer As opposed to the modder who is the one Actually extending The usability of the product and Potentially driving new sales of that Product to new users based on The, whether it's missions or whether It's new texture packs That make people want to reinvest In this game or buy the game When they haven't played it before Do I think that the game developer should be getting The lion's share of this deal? Absolutely not! Are they Supporting the mod? Are they Creating a system? Yeah, are they Creating a system where they're certain That the mod will be White listing things? Are they QC-ing it? Are they making it so you can roll back The mod? Are they creating a Mod module so you Can manage your mods really well And so that if something does damage to Something you can easily undo it? Are they putting These systems in place? Is that what the 45% is for? I doubt it. What about Valve's 30%? I mean you look at the people Blatantly uploading stolen Mods already taking advantage Of the system. Is Valve investing their 30% in painstakingly Going through the mods and making sure that they Work? That would fall under customer service, so No. Right. Well Okay, we all knew the answer to this. I was Being- I know, I was taking a shot at the customer service. Um And then as for The dev The 25% is completely Unreasonable. As a YouTube creator It's a source Of friction between YouTube Creators and Google That Google takes 45% When ultimately we are Creating the content That sits on their platform Now, with that said, I've Accepted the 45% YouTube tax And I've made a really good living for Myself and for the people Around me with the 45% YouTube tax with Abandoning that to them and All of that good stuff because Sorry? Hosting videos Is gonna be a lot more of an overhead Yeah. The back end that Google needed to do, the storage of all of our Videos, the distribution of all the videos and stuff Is much harder than the Really small mods are. And YouTube Brought us a really big audience Compared to what Valve is offering Modders simply by Listing mods The way that you were Already able to do In the workshop. Um, so So the YouTube platform has contributed Enough that I kinda go, oh crap, that's A lot of money, but yeah, fine I get it. You actually have Ongoing overhead associated With Supporting me. It sucks, but it's Understandable. Yes. With this system Unless Valve is Contributing a lot More than it seems like they are I mean, I get it. Bandwidth is Expensive. Totally get that. But that's The kind of thing where you could have the Modder actually just pay per use Or something like that Because there's no real reason Why a very, very small mod Needs to have a bunch of bandwidth Cost associated with it. And I think 25% is a completely Unreasonable amount of money to offer Someone who actually did All of the work. Literally all of it. I mean, in many cases, these Mods have their own dedicated websites Where you can go and visit the developer blog Find out what's coming, find out what's Not coming. The ones that are well supported Especially deserve A proper amount of money For what they're doing. That's something interesting. One thing I have to butt in about is GTA has no official mod Support. Oh, thank you. It's, it's, uh, there's A bunch of games that do, but anyways But at least it is moddable. There are games that are a lot more difficult To hack into. There won't be like a workshop thing For it. Yeah. No, no, that's, anyways. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah. Um, oh crap. What was I gonna say now? Uh, I forgot after that. If you're stuck In the game, the, the, the people that are Supporting their own mods and stuff, a lot of The times they'll have donate options. And donate options, it's all gonna go to them Except for like the little PayPal cut or whatever. But like, that's so much more worth it To these people. Yep. The one point, two percent, or two point Whatever percent. So much more worth it. So, okay, so, so, so But, with all that said So I'm super upset about The way this whole thing is structured. I think it makes Absolutely no sense. But, there is something that I've Seen people upset about That has really annoyed me As a content creator. The idea that mods Should be free. Why? If it's Crappy, sure. But don't pay for it. If it's crappy, then They're gonna release the mod. They're gonna get A couple of one star reviews on Whatever marketplace it happens to be. I'm okay with like super badass, huge content Mods or whatever costing money. That's fine. Yeah. But, no, I know You're not gonna have a problem with this, but And people are saying modders can still upload for free If they want, and that's fine. But Why should they? If modders Are putting a lot of work into this, why Shouldn't they make money Doing it? I mean, the whole Internet mentality that Everyone should do everything as a passion Project doesn't make a lot Of sense to me, because with Monetary investment from the Users comes I believe, and I mean, this is My principles as a content creator Should come better Investment into the quality of the content. I mean, if a mod is As amazing as it is And it's free, and it's something that someone did Purely as a passion project, imagine If you freed up that person's Time by making it so they didn't have to have A day job anymore. If that Person has, you know, some Principles that they stand on where They believe that if they're getting paid, they should Work hard, and they should do a good job That should in turn Turn into a better quality mod for you to enjoy And maybe it costs you $4.95 Or whatever the case may be. I don't understand why people are upset about that At all. I just have A problem with, you know, The $4.95 mod Ultimately turning into a buck 25 In the pocket of the modder, because that is A lot, I mean, when we consider what a mod Is going to cost, I would expect most Mods to be, and you can buy a game on Steam for, you know, under $20 A lot of the time, like a good game An older AAA game even. So I don't expect mods to go for $20 very often. So when We're talking about $5 mods Or, you know, $10 mods Expecting people to live off Of an average revenue Per transaction of $1.50 To $2.00 Or $1.25 to $2.50 Is absolutely Ridiculous and unreasonable And frankly insulting So, that's what Someone's saying, hold on a second You're not taking into account the major modders Are not wanting this? Who cares? Then they can release their mod for free. It's about choice The community being upset Makes no sense. If a modder Wants to do something Where they want to turn, you know, their Modding passion into a business Why shouldn't they be able to do Their passion as work? I'm sure a lot of people Are still going to release mods for free Especially a lot of the Texture mod things Or not even just texture mods, but Actually specifically not texture mods Someone's saying, why is your car being stolen? No, that wouldn't have been my car. It doesn't have an alarm And it's not locked, so They wouldn't have to break into it Fantastic Everyone knows your car is unlocked Anyways, though like, here's a single Sword, which I actually found Kind of funny, was a lot of the ones that you're able To currently pay for. I think a lot Of that kind of stuff might stay free Because people are going to go like, oh I want to design A sword, and they'll go and design a sword for Skyrim And be like, oh that's pretty cool Alright, people can have it. I think that will happen Quite a bit. I don't think People are just going to stop modding out Of passion because now there's a potential way to make money Yep But, I mean, like I don't know So for me personally, the fact that I could Make a business out of YouTube inspired Me to build a team and to make Much higher quality content. I think we can All agree that what we're doing now Is light years ahead of What I was able to do on my own Back when I didn't have this awesome team Around me. And I would like to believe That there will be the basement modders who don't want To be paid and just want to do it for fun and don't want The pressure of customers That's a real thing Not wanting the pressure of people who are paying For your content. Wanting people to have it For free so that if like, something Goes wrong you can just go, whoa Yeah, well this was free dude It comes with all the warranties associated With free stuff. That's sometimes I brought this up earlier and forgot about it That's actually one of the reasons why I was scared About this and one of the reasons why I like buying Things sometimes is if I buy something And it breaks there's someone that I can hold accountable Yep. And I can be like, hey Fix this. I paid for it Fix it or else I'll like Bring hell on you as much as I possibly can If I'm downloading stuff for free If anything goes wrong with it I'm just like Okay I'll submit a bug report or like Try to fix it myself and if Neither of those things work then I guess That's about how that goes I've got a lot of people Talking about how modders If they want to go legit in their business So this is more of an, okay So two things. Number one, people want us to talk about the $400 payment threshold from Valve Which is nonsense by the way. That is Ridiculous. The typical Payment threshold is $100 for things Like Google AdSense Well for things like Google AdSense If you're going to have, actually affiliate programs That I've been part of I think Amazon's is $100 But it's when you make $100. Which is the same as this No it's $400. No you get $100. When you make $100 Yeah okay It's the same thing But it's not Because lots of mods will never Like you could make a sword and you could be like this is a $1 sword And 350 people might buy it And you will never get your $100 check I believe it was Nick or Ghost or I don't know. Someone just updated this. You need to get $100 before you can withdraw the funds So you must sell at least $400 Before you can withdraw the funds And then, shoot There was something else that People were bringing up That people were bringing up that I wanted to Address. Right So the whole thing about Modders, a lot of them Kind of being kind of grey in Sketch Because they're releasing it for free So a lot of them are not using paid versions Of the often very expensive Software that's involved in 3D modeling and game creation So honestly That's the kind of thing that is just going to have to be Up to the modders. The ones that want to continue To do it for free and fly under the radar I think are going to be put under a lot less scrutiny Than the ones that decide to go Okay yeah I'm going to make a business out of this. We're going to make items We're going to make game mods. We're going to make texture packs And I guess I better Invest in some actual software now Because I mean honestly There's um There's not A lot that Valve or the game developer Can do to police this and people are just Going to have to be responsible and if they're not Able to be responsible that's ultimately Going to be on them which is Sort of just yet another thing like We're putting all the extra overhead On the modder For their 25% That they get out of this whole thing The whole thing is ridiculous And Yeah I don't know I actually didn't really read our notes I was just going off the top of my head On a lot of this stuff. Well a lot of this has been updated While we've been sitting here So there's that One of the interesting things too is going to be The people that potentially make it a paid mod On the workshop and a free Mod in other ways Like if you install it through like Skyrim Nexus or whatever They make it a free mod that way and a paid mod on the workshop That could be fairly interesting That could pull people away from the whole workshop Platform But then that'll only work for Certain games I guess I don't know Umm I don't know what else to talk about we've got like 12 minutes left Umm Gamers in the UK showing a tendency of curbing Pre-order habits. Yeah I guess there's not really a whole Lot to say about that. Did you ever post the link for The Valve thing? I think so. Okay cool Umm 20% of UK gamers have said that they have either Stopped pre-ordering or pre-order less games Umm There's more information in that article but it's Not a ton more information. So that's cool It looks like Umm. You know I was actually Totally down to pre-order games A long time ago. Yep I used to Yep and it was fine and I actually never had A problem with it. Yep. I Got burned on Bioshock 2 and then I was done And actually I got semi burned on Left 4 Dead 2. I thought Left 4 Dead 2 was A complete waste of money for what they were charging for it That should have been an expansion pack For 1999 Umm okay Yeah okay well we can Do this really really quickly Liberland is the new European nation that runs off Bitcoin So they've got some pretty unorthodox practices Taxes. All cryptocurrencies All cryptocurrencies. Primarily Bitcoin So it's a small piece of land between Croatia And Serbia It's the, has no military Taxes are optional Umm. They should have a military They just have like one dude with a board With a nail through it and be like yeah That's our military Yep so they won't let in people who Have communist, nazi or extremist Past. You can't be punished for past Criminal offenses. You have to have Respect for other people and respect The opinions of others regardless of their race, ethnicity Orientation or religion And have respect for private ownership that is Untouchable So registrations and applications For the new country are going swimmingly as over 20,000 People have already applied with over 100,000 expected by the weeks End. I actually didn't know it was that simple To just start a nation. We should start Linus Land. I don't think it's that simple I want it to be more of a theme park though. Cause you have to have the Land. Let's just buy a theme park Okay. Linus Land. And it can be the Theme park nation I'm clearly not talking about Anything real at this point. So Let's go ahead and Let's do a little bit of Video card news Yeah so GTX 980 Metal and 980ti Let's go ahead and Pull up the kit guru Article here So the 980ti is Rumored to be coming Next month with a 980 Metal in the Work. So the rumored specs of the 980ti would put it pretty darn Close to the Titan X So it would have a Fully featured GM 200 Processor It would have 6 gigs of Memory compared to 12 gigs on the Titan X and be basically Pretty darn badass With 3072 stream processors Etc. Etc. Actually I don't Know if that's the full number of texture Units cause I can't remember the Titan X Specs off the top of my head But the point is it will be super fast It will be cheaper than a Titan X And not buy a whole heck of a lot I guess that's pretty much all there is To say about it I mean Nvidia is pretty good these days At not making you know People who bought the high end thing feel too bad About it. I think people who bought Titans really got A lot of mileage out of that card even though they paid $1000 for it The 980 Metal enhanced version Is unknown exactly What that is KitGuru speculates That it's highly unlikely. It will be based on a cut down Version of the GM 200 GPU I would Hard to say. We don't really know much about Yields of it. Highly likely Oh, highly likely. Oh, right I was just going to say that I don't agree with That at all because both Titan X and 980 Ti Rumors would indicate a fully featured chip So if any of these are Have defective units on them They gotta do something with them So 980 Metal might be it No idea what Performance or time frame will be in Nvidia Of course didn't comment They generally don't really do that Another article from KitGuru is that 390X availability Might be limited thanks To low yields of HBM Memory. So that's that new Extremely high performance memory That is going to be the 390X's sort of feature Presentation in terms of what it's doing That hasn't been done before So I guess That's about it Pretty much all there is to say about that It's basically a rapid fire topic I mean there's a whole bunch of other stuff In here about HBM memory so Stacks 4 DRAM dies with Two 128 bit channels Blah blah blah etc etc Results in a memory device with a 1024 bit interface so yeah it's like super crazy fast But supply may be Constrained So a fairly interesting thing That I want to talk about hammering on Steam Again a little bit Depends on what you think about this I'm not a huge fan but I'll talk about why In a moment. Anyways Steam users now have to Spend $5 In purchases before they can add friends So I don't even think that means just Adding $5 to your account. I think you actually Buy $5 worth of things You cannot send Friend invites, open a group chat, Vote on reviews on Greenlight or Participate in the Steam market etc so you can't like sell CSGO skins If you've been gifted CSGO Because then you wouldn't have spent money I've had that problem before I've made a new account, gifted it Something and then been unable to do Certain things. I think you already couldn't Participate on the market I'm not entirely sure Right Dominic is saying something Apparently you can just put $5 in your wallet But it does say specifically purchases So I I like this Personally I was talking to, did you know that over Which one is it Overclock.net No, crap, which one is it? Extreme Systems, sorry. Extreme Systems Is a paid forum now? Haven't I been for Years? So I think it's like a dollar To join forever It's a dollar to join forever And their comments Their comments about it, I actually I realized when I went there not Signed in, and I was like What the crap, this is a paid site now? And then I logged into my old account Found out that it was fine Because it had been created and not banned During the prepaid days So I messaged one of the Old mods that I kind of used to Know over there, and I was like what the crap is Going on? He's like oh It's the best spam prevention That we could have possibly implemented It costs people practically Nothing, but it validates that they're a real person It validates that they actually People who have invested something into A platform are much less likely To dink around with it and you know Spam people, I mean this is a big problem Well this is what I've always talked about Like when ESO was coming out And I hadn't realized that it was A giant pile of junk yet I kept on saying on the stream That I hoped it was a paid game I wanted there to be like A subscription or at least a fee to buy the game Or something like that, and then once I Realized it was going to be junk, I said that it was going to Go to freeplay and it did But anyways, that's Regardless, free games Get the toxic community All the time, because You can just be like, uh, whatever I don't know if I'm going to come back to this game Time to just flame everyone as hard as I can until I get banned Because if I decide to come back, I'll just get a new Free account, who cares I might lose my character or whatever But I can also just trade all my stuff to my buddy Then get banned, then if I want to come back He can just give me some amount Of value back or everything back or whatever What I'm not a huge fan of on This is someone who Could have not much access To any money, or Say their parents don't want them to make online purchases At all, and all they want to do is Do something like play tf2 online with their friends Will be unable to Which is kind of poop You could, I guess Like, if you hook up through Skype Or whatever voice chat Application, you could like tell people IPs, bounce back and forth that way And then just make sure all your communication Is completely outside of the game But it's kind of annoying that you wouldn't be able to communicate Through the Steam platform, so it's not completely stopping them Because you could still join servers through that But there's a fair amount of games I think CSGO, if you want to do Matchmaking I know you can join Servers on CSGO, but I think if you want to do The matchmaking side of things You have to have Access to the friend system So if your buddy wants to buy you CSGO And sends it to your account Then you'd only be able to really Play, like I think you could do matchmaking But I don't think you could do matchmaking lobbies with your friends Because I don't know how you could invite someone to it There might be some way around that Twitch chat is probably correcting me right now But it's just kind of annoying, I don't know I've got Lance B. Taylor saying On Twitch chat, Twitch should be paid To get rid of the idiots, well a lot of streamers do that They have their Subscriber chat, subscriber only chat A lot of people have asked why we don't have subscribers on this show It's because we only stream once a week So I don't think it's a great value People who are giving us a Recurring monthly contribution should be doing it Because of the content in general Not just because of our Twitch streaming So they should just be contributing through the website Just as a quick way to address that So, next article is on Ars Technica, I've got the link this time Badoop boop boop And iFixit has completed Their teardown of the Apple Watch Which is rumored, and this is Pure speculation, I don't know why this news article Is getting spread so Rapidly, rumored to have sold I think it was How many, no up further 3 million Units And that would be 2 billion dollars of revenue Or something, anyway It's an estimate So ThinkBig Analytics Though estimates that gross Margins on the Apple Watch are in excess of 60% Making it extraordinarily profitable IFixit says, replacing the Apple Watch's battery is easy Replacing the processor is Hard, something to do with Resin and what not Replacing the screen is apparently fairly easy And they gave it a repairability score of 5 out of 10 Not too bad Not as good as the iPhone 6 But pretty darn good considering the Compactness of the device With that said, I don't know if they've taken apart the Edition, edition for example though Sony has announced the I love the edition, edition was just gold and no other changes Yeah, I think you're right I'm not sure If that would change Anything about the construction though I mean different metals can Make a difference Sony announces the Xperia Z4, their flagship For 2015 Basically they changed not a whole heck of a lot Snapdragon 810 32GB storage Every single phone is the same Micro SD 3GB of RAM 3,000,000Ah battery 20.7MP rear camera And it is dust and water Proof Seriously every single phone is the same All of the phone announcements Today were 810s except for one And it was the low end one Anyways, oh well, is that it? Are we good? AMD revealed that Windows 10 Will launch in late July I've actually, I was kind of trying to wait Until Windows 10 to Move everyone's workstations And sort of Re-OSify everything around here But I actually We picked up a couple of Windows 8 licenses Today actually for a couple of the New servers. Yes I know it's not a server OS, I don't care It doesn't actually matter for Most of the things we're doing. If we decide To virtualize the 36 core machine And we have Which we probably will Probably, I will say we may do It depends I know but it's not Going to be able to If media encoder handles it okay Then we'll just have it be a single machine I agree, I seriously doubt that it will If it doesn't then what we may end up actually doing That might actually be kind of smart If we did 8 virtual machines Each with 32 gigs of RAM So we'd have to double the RAM and then we gave every editor Their own render box And it was all running off of the one box That has benefits and downsides Interesting conversation to have Anyway Because you wouldn't be able to just pound out videos Well it would still be really quick But not as fast But they wouldn't use each others resources And you could have parallelized rendering AMD reveals Windows 10 will launch in late July So I couldn't hold out That long so I'm going 8.1 On some of that stuff I'd feel pretty sketch about Upgrading an OS on a server So there's that I don't know man What's your gut feeling on that one? Honestly, usually I'm like Nope! But then looking at how Amazingly well my Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 And then revert back from Windows 10 To Windows 7 went I am actually kind of down Did I really talk to you about that? Yeah, that was amazing That was the best part of the whole Experience was how well it went up and back down again Apparently non-paying Steam users Can Still accept friend requests They may not send them out So they can have a friends list But they just have to have someone else So it's group messages So they can message all my friends I'm cool with it then, I have no problem That was the only thing I didn't like So yeah, sure Great, well I think that's pretty much it for the show today Thank you all Very much for tuning in Like it if you liked it Dislike it if you didn't like it as much Yeah, if you Liked it less And I think that's pretty much it Thanks for watching guys, and we will see you again next week Same bat time, same bat channel Please work Hey, it worked Yay Fresh books, the next release Show's over, we can make out now
