 That when you get your dog fixed you actually limit his functionality. But you are fixing the problem of the dog having that functionality. But you don't say get your dog's problem fixed, you say get your dog fixed. What? Wow, that is some pretty spectacular, uh, that is some pretty spectacular kudos sponsorship of the land show. I was on their network before, I didn't like it. Screw you guys. Not enough to actually do anything about it. It's not until I started paying your phone bill that you're moving up to a real carrier. Oh no, you were on TELUS at that point, which is just kudos. Their service was fine because kudos service was fine. And at least TELUS doesn't steal your information and sell it that we know of yet. So they probably do. Welcome to the land show. The land show where I realized I was wearing my Squarespace shirt and today wasn't, you know, every time up until now, when I happened to be wearing my Squarespace shirt, they've been a sponsor. And so today it felt a little weird to be wearing my Squarespace shirt and not actually have them be a sponsor. So I actually threw on a shirt from one of our other sponsors today. But first we have some topic call outs. So Windows 10 versions have been revealed. That was versions, not virgins. The Oculus Rift CV1 has been revealed. Oh, I should have left that one for you. No, it's OK. There's actually not a ton of information in that that we didn't already know. There's some things that are very cool that we'll talk about in depth. Anyways, FTC rules in favor of direct to consumer car sales. It's not the end of the whole equation. Elon Musk, it's your birthday. Elon Musk. It's not. It's not today. Anyways, self-driving cars don't crash. Unless other people crash into them. Yeah, because that's which is a crash. Yes, technically. So that actually do crash. They just don't cause the crash. Brandon Lee, can you close the door? And all of you viewers, can you hang on for a minute while we roll the intro? Do I need to ask their permission to roll our intro? Yes. No. We have sponsors today. Linda. We really need to get that fixed. Linda, take Linda.com course to show you how to fix our intro because ours sucks and you can do it for us. Yeah, they have Photoshop tutorials. I do. Fresh books. Wait a minute. Is that right? Yeah, that's not it. That's not right. Is that right? Um. Yeah, it is. Yeah. And Lucre. Take 10% with offer code lighter. Yes. You know what I should do? I'm going to put this back at the top. So you could learn skills. Proactively this time. Wow. See that? Every time we switch to that scene. The problem is, though, that it's just not going to work. It might. Hold on. But we have to wait for the end of the show. Yeah, that's true. We'll wait till the end. So you could you could learn skills with Linda.com, manage your business with Fresh Books, and then spend your money on buying Lucre stuff because it's cool. People are refusing to help us with it. And they're saying buckets, by the way. So it was true. Yes. It happened. It happened. The buckets are real. All right. So let's go ahead and let's move right into our first topic. Okay. We need to cover these build logs. Oh, are there build logs? There have been build logs for like three weeks. Wow. And we just keep on going right over top of them straight to the top. Your level of incompetence is inspiring. But it's always been right there. I did not. You always pick the first topic and you always scroll right over. I did not see them for three weeks. That is most excellent, sir. Amazing. All right. So the first one we've got is loramentum, loramentum, loramentum. This is the voters pick. All right. Loramentum. This is the voters pick. The voters picked it. Kind of like their noses. Oh. It's okay to pick your nose. Sometimes you get like paint in there. Paint. And crayons. All right. So let's go ahead. Lots of water cooling. A 4770K has E87i Pro. 16 gigs of dominated platinum memory. An R9 290 graphics card. And that is looking good already. Nice small ITX board. You got the graphics card presumably laid out somewhere where we're going to get a PCI Express extension going on. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. A triple radiator. Totally flat build. I'm liking it. I'm kind of into that. You can ask my wife. So we've got a nice big reservoir Samsung SSD. I am loving the color coordination here. A big fun idea for this is a LAN rig. So you can take it to a LAN and have it look super cool. That is really cool. It doesn't take up a lot of space. You can kind of pick the whole thing up like a picture frame almost. And especially at a LAN, if you could just put this like behind your monitor or even beside your monitor, you're going to save a lot of space compared to a giant tower. Look at that. Cable management on the back is almost as good as the front. That is outstanding. Really cool. All right. So let's do our second. And this was the staff pick, if I recall correctly. Oh, balls. Yep. This is the NVM K2, which borrowed inspiration from Charles, at least as far as the name was concerned. But not the loading of the website, which is still going. Yeah, this website doesn't load very quickly. Although it works unlike the old system. So the mods pick this one. It's by Pokemon Kid. Here's some progress shots. I love this. This is like the technique for leak testing your loop. Get that paper towel in there and make sure that she ain't she ain't leaking. All right. Case labs, Mercury SA to GTX 770 is 1200i power supply 4770k processor and water cooling, water cooling, water cooling. Some more in progress shots, like that reservoir placement. Look at that. It's like all water cooling. There's actually more water cooling than case. You know, a build is going to be good when it starts. That's sick. I had already seen these. I snuck ahead. That is absolutely disgusting. I love it. In a good way. Yeah, that is that is a really tight looks like extremely attractive vile virus. Yeah, I am. I am really liking that. One of the challenges when you place your reservoir horizontally like this is keeping the air from getting sucked back in the one side. So I'm guessing he's probably or she has probably had to do something about flow rates to keep them from actually being too high to keep that from being an issue. Mind you, it looks like the system is actually powered off right now because there's no way that would be just kind of sitting there like that if the system was actually on. So very, very nice little rig. All right. So why don't we move into our first topic of the day. AMD does not want to be known as the cheaper solution anymore. And the original poster here is Zappian and the original article here is from Ars Technica. This was supposed to be covered last week. For those of you that may be confused. Actually, we missed a couple of AMD things last week, so they launched a new APU. It's totally unexceptional. It's actually really funny. I was saying on Twitter that I didn't have what was it? I tweeted about why someone accused us of only covering Intel. And I kind of went, well, we cover AMD graphics cards. In fact, we went as far as to borrow an R9295X2. I don't think you have to borrow a fair number of them. No, I think that's the only one we had to borrow. We had to borrow a low end card once. I think we borrowed two. And the one that came in the case, but not the most recent one. Yeah, that was the one we borrowed. Oh, there's one more. We only had it, I think we borrowed it from NCIX. Oh, the 6990 way back in the day. So there's a few. All right. So there's a few that we've had to borrow. And I was like, okay, so like, that's pretty much it. I mean, are we supposed to do reviews of R9280Xs all day? They're 7970s. There's nothing different about them. Yeah, we've been doing the same review for years. Exactly. So what's the point? And as far as the CPU side goes, I said something along the lines of they haven't released a new performance CPU in like three years. And that was estimating. I think it's been longer than that. So I had a couple people kind of give me crap, including my buddy over at AnonTech, Ian Cutress, who was like, well, actually, I'm finishing up on an AMD APU review right now, along with some new testing methodology. It's actually a really interesting article because he tries to take a bit of a different approach to the way that he's benchmarking the chip and get a more complete picture. So you guys can check that out there, the A87650K APU review. But I would point out to Dr. Ian Cutress that that's an APU review. And I specifically said AMD hasn't released a new interesting CPU in quite some time. So I also got an email actually from one of AMD's marketing folks kind of asking if I needed the hookup to get this thing. And I kind of went, actually, it's OK. I'm going to read Dr. Cutress's review. And then I'm going to find out if we should be making a bunch of videos about this. And it turns out that it is once again not exceptional. Great performance with onboard graphics. APUs from AMD are great for entry level gaming. Also, they're a good value at the low end because they're cheaper and they perform OK. So let's go back to that Ars Technica article here. AMD doesn't want to be known as the cheaper solution. Will refocus on performance, which really raises the question, did they ever de-emphasize performance? It never felt like it. The community kind of did in their direction. They did stop developing CPUs. They did shift their strategy towards APUs, which we knew were going to be on a lower end socket. They were going to have fewer cores. But did they do that because they wanted to? Or did they do that because they couldn't build a competitive CPU for years to the point where they weren't making enough margin on them and they needed to find a different way to compete and implementing the graphics IP that they acquired and have continued to develop since the ATI acquisition was the way that they were able to make something that fits in a socket that's competitive in some meaningful way. I'm glad to hear them say this, but the thing that frustrates me, and this is a story that I've never told publicly, is it goes all the way back to the launch of the Phenom, whatever it was, 920 and 940. So this is how far this goes back. Was that the Phenom 1 or was that Phenom 2? Phenom 920. I think that was the original. No, that's a Phenom. Phenom 2 is a 920. What were the original Phenom 1s? Just, yeah, there you go. Phenom, AMD Phenom. Okay, well, the 920 and 940 were one of them. 8000 series. Hold on, hold on. I'm going somewhere important with this. Phenom X4. I'm just fascinated at how long you can delay a sentence, essentially. Oh, thank you. It's quite good. List of AMD Phenom microprocessors. Here we go. You're getting there. I'm on the Wikipedia right now, you guys. I am learning some stuff. Live research. We should have a camera over your shoulder. Mid-flight here. Okay. So yes, that was the one that I was super butt-hurt about was the 920 and the 940 because, and it was probably the fault of our AMD sales guy. I was working at NCIX at the time, so I didn't have a PR contact. I just had a sales guy who was like, yeah, we're going to reinvigorate the sales. It's going to be awesome. So in those days, I don't even think, no, I wasn't making videos yet, but I would still, because I was in charge of system building stuff at NCIX, I would still get my hands on all the cool stuff and I would like validate it, right? Like I would tinker with it and I'd be like, oh yeah, is this like really good? Is this really fast? How high can we overclock it? Whatever else. And I would sometimes post articles on hardware knucks, for example, just as a guest writer. And so I took home the 920 and the 940, and I ended up pulling an all-nighter because I ran them through the paces. And at that time, it would have been up against what? The E6600 or Q6600 or whatever, whatever was the relevant Intel stuff in those days. And it was like terrible. And I couldn't overclock it worth a damn. And I was like, oh no, I must be doing something wrong. It's already one in the morning. I can't even call anyone and ask for help and the embargo is in the morning. And I was like, oh, I'm sorry. I'm going to do something. And I want to submit this for hardware knucks because I've got access to this hardware and the embargo is coming up. And it's like, I tested and tested and tested. And in the morning I got up and everyone else's review went up and the thing didn't perform very well. And I was like, I sat here trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I tried every memory setting. I tried every CPU setting. And it turned out that it just wasn't very good. And so. I want someone to log how many times he's told that story on stream. I don't think I have told that story before. Oh, well, whatever. I don't care. I don't care. You're turning into like the old man. Every time you see him, he tells the same story. Wow. Hey Linus, do you remember that story about that old phenom that that sales guy told you some stuff about? Well, back in the day, he told me it was going to be one heck of a ripper and I took it home and I tried and I tried and I tried and I just couldn't get it to go. So finally I went to bed and woke up in the morning and then everybody else couldn't get it to go. And I was upset. It was disappointing. So anyway, the point of the story is AMD has told me whether it was an individual's fault or company messaging or whatever else, that they're going to build a high performance CPU for a long time and they haven't done it. So I'm just a little jaded and I want Zen to be awesome. I do. I completely agree. If Zen is awesome, I win because I get to make videos about something cool. If Zen is awesome, everyone wins. You guys win because maybe Intel will get the kick in the pants that they need. Because I'm sure that Intel can make a higher performance CPU like tomorrow. I'm sure they can make a higher performance consumer CPU, but they don't have to. Instead, they're taking that sort of one size fits all approach where they're going, okay, so let's build like really small CPU cores with lower complexity and let's put like 18 of them under a single chip for servers. And then let's put like a couple of them and like a really great graphics core for like notebooks. And then, well, I don't know, maybe the desktop guys, they can like have this one and and so having like a 6970k or a 7970k that just rips would be amazing. And release a 6969k. Do you think the internet will just explode? Yes, I do. There is no way a conservative company like Intel would ever do that. That'd be amazing though. Anyways, yeah, they, I really hope Zen's good. So at their analyst day, the company said they're no longer competing in a race to the bottom, which is, whoops. Which makes sense because their process is more expensive to manufacture anyways. So they're trying to be the cheaper solution while it costs them more money to make it that it's not going to work out. Yep, that's going to be a problem. CEO Dr. Lisa Su says it's extremely important to ensure that we have competitive high performance cores. We have reduced our low end PC exposure, goes on to state they are an x86 company through and through and will be focusing on their opportunity to lead in that area. And I think it is quite the opportunity. I mean, Intel for all the innovation that they do. And there's a lot. I mean, stuff like, you know, rapid start technology, you know, the fact that the computer turns on really fast. That doesn't show up on a benchmark score, but it makes the experience of using it better. And that kind of stuff is great. But in terms of raw performance, like single threaded performance, it's been like that incremental six to eight percent for like four freaking years now giving AMD once again, an opportunity to step in and maybe kick some butt. So Zen will be launching first as a new series of FX chips. They're promising a 40% increase in instructions per clock, particularly from switching to a new process node, although they haven't said what it is yet. It's going to have a new socket AM4 about bloody time, which will introduce DDR4 as well as, I mean, hopefully PCI Express. They don't even support PCI Express 3 on their current motherboards. Like AMD knows that their CPU enthusiast platform makes no sense. They know this. They're not even they're not even giving us a new chipset to put high performance graphics cards in it, because apparently they don't think it's worth the effort. I mean, it's sad, but that's what it is. They even like the they even make high performance PCI Express 3.0 graphics cards. And internally, I'm sure someone at some point has put up their hand and hold on. Shouldn't you be able to do like the whole solution thing like that? And like they try, but it hasn't been a compelling story for a long time. So I'm excited as excited as I can let myself be. But I just am, you know, other than saying I really want it to I really want it to happen. It's not going to be till 2016 either way. I don't like rumors anyways, let alone when there's nothing really behind them. It's just someone saying I want to do this. So good for you, buddy. Yeah, that's basically what I'm getting out of this. I'm just going to wait. If it's awesome, then that's super good. And I think it will help all the consumers and the industry as a whole. And if it's not awesome, I won't be that surprised. And that will super suck. Because that would just hurt things. Yeah, so much more. Speaking of things that hurt, this was posted by 907 rider and the original source is lily dot camera, something you would normally think would hurt a camera. Just taking it and throwing it doesn't hurt this bad boy. Now seeing this in certain drones, just not like consumer drones. This is a preorder, and we are not suggesting that you preorder it because there is a lot of room for this thing to totally suck donkey balls. But these demos that they show are pretty freaking impressive. So basically, you can set it to track. So you throw and it just takes off. And then you can set it to follow or lead a particular subject. So here it is following this guy. Yeah, man, that's incredible. You control it with a thing that you wear. So you tell it there's buttons for like, okay, I want to follow or do whatever. There's another really cool one where they... Here, where is it? Yeah, here we go. So this guy just like hardcore is sitting in his canoe. And you kind of go, oh, well, hey, how can you... Oh, no, just what? Chuck's in the... Oh, takes off from the water. Did you just say amphibious takeoff? Are you freaking for real? That's pretty freaking cool. I'm assuming he's gonna have to be fairly calm. It was pretty calm there and whatnot, but that's still really cool. That's incredible. I don't know if I'd bother. I'd probably just throw it up in the air instead of throwing it in the water. But it's cool that it can do that. So it does 1080p, 60 FPS or 720p, 120 FPS slow-mo, 12 megapixel stills, has a 20 minute flight time. And they're pitching it as compact enough that you can throw in your backpack and wear the controller on your wrist, which is waterproof as well. And it's pretty much off to the races. It's not cheap. I think they want a thousand dollars for it once it's out and the pre-order is like 550. But holy smack, that looks awesome. That looks really, really, really cool. I'm excited for that. That's one that I legitimately think is cool because the lack of setup time, you don't need your phone or anything like that. It's something on your wrist. So the GoPro-ers, like some guy on his mountain bike could just all of a sudden, like, if he strapped it to his back instead of a bag, just grab it, whip it out forward and then go. And it's not going to be a big deal. It's the GoPro catch it as you're going mentality instead of this like, okay, you probably need a dedicated dude controlling the drone and all this kind of crap. Exactly. You just be like, follow me, go, and then do whatever you want. And like, Burkle's been showing me some of the, because he's into mountain biking in particular, and he's been showing me some of the techniques involved in getting some of the footage that as not a filming guy, I just kind of take for granted. Like, oh, yeah, you know, the camera followed along the bike. Well, hold on a second. That's actually moving really fast. How are they doing this exactly? And they will, what they'll do is they'll like, they'll map out a path for the bike and a path for a guy with a freaking gimbal rig to like book it down. Like, like people could die running alongside these bikes, filming them going down the sides of mountains. Like this is probably a better solution. Yeah. No, you're not going to get that same level of cinematic footage, but for what 99.9% of people are going to be interested in. And this means that it'll get better. This looks very cool. Yeah. You'll have better battery life eventually get things that will be faster so they can follow or lead better and all that kind of stuff. Absolutely. So yeah. Next up from Boozoo, the original article here is from Anon Tech and Intel has a new lineup of SSDs aimed at data centers coming. These are the S3510. And this is kind of a funny one to me because you look at Intel's push, even on the consumer side towards NVMe and abandoning the SATA standard. And you kind of go, what's the agenda here? And I'm not that surprised because, okay, to move to NVMe, that's a huge platform change for your entire data center. People are still going to be interested in upgrading their drives, upgrading every single one of their server platforms. That was what I was going to say, but you did it better. Oh, I thought you were attacking the idea that it was coming out. And I was like, what? No. No. It still makes sense. So this is not a particularly high performance drive, which is a really interesting thing. And it also features 16 nanometer flash. So this is the first time that Intel has used that in, actually, I think that's the first time Intel's used 16 nanometer flash. That's very interesting. So not particularly amazing performance. Look at those sequential write speeds, particularly at the low end capacities, 260 megabytes per second. They're not even saturating SATA 3. But what these drives are about is the endurance and the cost. So Intel's trying to deliver something that is validated and reliable and is going to last for a long time, but is going to be cheap for those data centers that are not looking to roll out a whack ton of PCI Express based SSDs and completely rebuild everything. So these are just, yeah, they are what they are. They support 256 bit encryption. And they include a full power loss protection that protects all data, including in-flight user rights in the event of a sudden power loss, which is actually funny. Like it's funny to me. Enterprise SSDs seem to feature this technology more so than consumer grade SSDs. But consider for a moment that in an enterprise environment, you're going to have battery backups on your controller cards in the event of like a raid or something like that. You're usually going to have, I mean, any decent data center is going to have a battery backup per generator, whatever. So maybe not necessarily per rack, but there'll be something for each kind of set of systems. Every big data center I've been to, which isn't a ton, but every big data center I've been to has that like giant generator block just outside the building. And on top of that, they're going to have backup power for the entire building. Yeah. What are the odds of an unexpected power loss? But then again, I mean, I guess layers of protection compared to an end user who's usually not using a UPS. Who's usually like super screwed in that situation. Oh, well. Crap. I feel like a complete idiot. I completely lost the word for the thing the racks go into while I was trying to do that thing. The thing the racks go into? Yeah, the one we have downstairs. It's just a rack, is it not? No. Server rack. No, no, no, no. A rack is a rack. And then the thing it goes into, dang it. Why can't I remember this? Now I'm going crazy. I hate, I hate cabinet. Geez. I couldn't find the word for cabinet while I was doing that. I know what a cabinet is. Are they all technically cabinets? It's not necessarily, but racks go in cabinets. Yeah, but you can have a rack that isn't a cabinet. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because no, no, like, yes, you could just have, right. You could just have a rack. You could just have a rack. You don't have to have the cabinet. And you could just have a rack mount thing and there could be nothing around it. But no, I was thinking of what they go inside. Because on a per cabinet basis, you might have a large GPS unit in the bottom of each one or something along those lines. That's what I was going for. I can't believe I could, I just, I hate it when I can't find the word and I'm live. Drives me crazy. Yeah. It's because it's not universal. Because you can have just a rack. I don't know. Anyways. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. I just, I have an itch there. The long life of AOL is over. You will never receive another AOL CD in the mail. Original article here is from the Wall Street Journal. Verizon agrees to buy AOL for, no, I'm not subscribing now. Go, there is no exit. Does this come up every time you mouse over it? No, it doesn't. Okay. It goes away. Verizon agrees to buy AOL for $4.4 billion. They are predominantly interested in the technology that AOL has been building for online video ad distribution. It's not like they don't have, yeah, I know. It's not like they don't have other things going on. So subscription business, there's a content business. What content does AOL make? I don't know. Who's still doing AOL subscriptions? I don't know. If you Google this, what does AOL even do? I haven't actually known for years. Why and how does AOL still exist the first thing that comes up? This is great. So let's find out because I'm genuinely curious. I didn't, I should have done this before the show but I'm just going to do it now. I saw the financial results for AOL in the business section today and this is from 2012 and the first thing that came to mind was AOL? Who the heck is using AOL? Posted $577 million in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2011 and blah blah blah. Two answers here reminded me of two reasons why AOL is still alive. Old people and yellow pages piled up in condo basements. Ah, profits were based on this. Like their website is not good and has Google ads on it. What? I thought they were an ad serving platform. There's a Google ad on the freaking AOL website. So this is still people talking about them as an ISP. Is anyone still on AOL? Let's straw pull this. Straw pull this. So are you or do you know anyone? Someone in the chat just said two million dial up customers. Okay, okay, okay. Hold on, hold on. I want a percentage. Are you or do you know anyone still using AOL? Yes, no, and I guess yogurt would be an excellent third choice. What type of yogurt? I'm going to go with pomegranate. Cool. Actually, I might have made that too appealing. Banana. Banana yogurt is awful. I've never had that. It sounds very bland. It has that sort of fuzzy taste of banana yogurt except it's kind of a slime that you put in your mouth. I would just eat a banana. I can't say that for all like I wouldn't just eat a pomegranate if I wanted pomegranate yogurt but I would just eat a banana if I wanted banana yogurt. Right. Makes perfect sense to me. Because like it's already a mush. I know. You chew it one time and it's pretty much yogurt. That's ridiculous. So a tiny 15% of you are saying you or someone you know is still using AOL. So I think that's mostly going to be dial up stuff. A bunch of people in the chat said dial up and that actually does kind of make sense. Yeah, that makes that makes a time. Who else are you going to get dial up from? I honestly have no idea. I don't even know of any dial up providers in BC. I'm sure there is obviously. Maybe Telus would do it. It's not on their website. At least not prominently. But then you have to think of like farm farm names. Oh yeah. No like I get it. I get that people have it. I just don't know who they're getting it from. Yeah. AOL apparently. AOL owns end gadget? What? Well there you go. So that's that would be the media. That would be the content business. Yeah. So there you go. Their current CEO will still be leading AOL's operations but the acquisition is a done deal and Verizon said it has plans to launch a video service focused on mobile devices featuring shorter snippets rather than 30 or 60 minute shows in the summer. I think it's called YouTube Verizon. I think it exists but hey. Shorter snippets so like everything. YouTube. There's a smaller even shorter snippet one Vine. Yeah. Instagram has video. But hey I think. Snapchat. Yeah. There's a lot of content developer. Not content developer. Like I don't know. There's a lot of stuff on Snapchat now. You can watch like sports events and things. And whatever one that you guys build. I'm glad that the ads will be integrated well and right from the beginning. Good job Verizon. I love you guys. So let's go ahead and move on to Google's self-driving cars. Oh dang it. So this was posted by Suica. Suica. Suica. And the previous one was from Alex Goes High and the original article here is from TheVerge.com. So Google is expanding their testing because their self-driving cars have been in 11 accidents but none according to Google were the fault of the self-driving car. Yeah. Very interesting. Google claims that thanks to all of the sensors and the frequency of data collection their self-driving cars are much more attentive than a human driver is capable of being. Much more attentive I think you win no matter what. Yes. Because if you just look at polling rate it's like okay you win. Apparently there's been 11 accidents. Hold on a second. No. No no no. I want a polling rate. Humans don't have a polling rate. This is kind of like the how many FPS can the eye see argument. Oh my god. No no no no. Just hold on a second. So my. How many say compared to human. Human driver. Okay. Come on you're annoying. So you're gonna try and. Yeah I know. So human driver polling rate. Even an infinite polling rate would not technically. Well okay an infinite polling rate would be equivalent. Yeah. So anything but an infinite polling rate would not technically be higher than the polling rate of your eye or ear. Okay. Because it's a continuous stream. Okay so my point was that you have a huge amount of sensors constantly pulling in data whereas a human like you. Sorry hold on. Will be eating or doing whatever else while they're driving. Are we talking polling. Not paying 100% of the data. Are we talking polling in data or polling in data. So an O or a U. Either. Polling rate. I don't think he knows what he's talking about. Why. I'm just having fun. Okay sorry you can talk about the sensors now. Anyways so there's tons of different sensors all pulling in data all the time. A big problem with car accidents is it usually happens in a momentary lapse. Like if. Shoulder check. Eating on the run. Or a shoulder check. Yeah if you shoulder check you might not see that guy merging into your lane. If you shoulder check on the left you might not see the guy merging into your lane who's not paying attention on your right. It might not be because you screwed up. You just couldn't currently see in that direction. So basically Google is solving entirely the wrong problem and they're going about this the wrong way because what they should really be doing is figuring out how to give us cybernetic eyes in the sides of our heads. That would be awesome. That would be so confusing though. Imagine the first time you had it turned on. Okay. And you could just see like. No no this is this is a thing. So have you heard of cochlear implants. Yeah. Okay so one of the big problems with cochlear implants is particularly for people who were born deaf a lot of the time. They're like scared or whatever. They still know it's not even scared or not scared. Like they can know what's coming but but they a lot of people especially older people they tend to want to do and there's like there's a huge sort of debate about the about the the ethics of all of this stuff because they tend to have to do it with people young in order for them to learn how to hear and how to discern speech and all of these things because the older someone's being especially if they were born deaf the more difficult it is for their brain to adapt to this completely new sense. I mean imagine. Because the brain just interprets data. That's right and people who people who are deaf I mean they live perfectly normal functional lives in many cases. I'm not saying every deaf person is like you know the best citizen ever or anything but I'm saying I know plenty of people who are just totally normal people they just can't hear and for all we know like think about it this way. What if you were a perfectly normal person except you had like another you had another sense. You had you have another. You're using the incorrect terminology. Whatever the point is let's say that you well no what I'm saying normal because I know of the point I'm trying to make what if you thought you were like a normal person except there was another sense in like your butt or something like if you had another organ there that was an entirely new sense that you'd never experienced before that would like explode your brain because what would that sense even be you'd have no concept of it. People could describe like a proximity sense to you and you'd be like okay but the first time you walk down the street and you got close to something you'd be like what's going on. I don't know if I'm saying it wrong or not are coclear implants permanent? Like if you get one can you not reverse it easily? So here's what happens with coclear implants and my my knowledge might be a little outdated but the way that my understanding is that it works is they actually remove what was in there. Well if it wasn't working. Well some people can hear a little like enough that if you know a gunshot went off they could duck like like even though they might have a lot of difficulty with speech. Because you'd be able to duck fast enough. So without your coclear implant if they put it in and take it out there's nothing left. Okay. So that's one of the challenges as well. Okay well that's an interesting conversation but if it was completely non-functioning I don't really think it's that big of a deal. Well I mean there's there's there's a lot of um the thing about the deaf community is they have their own they have their own culture and they have a cultural pride and um forcing particularly young children to have a coclear implant for the sake of being more normal is something that and and it's that no it's the n-word like well hold on a second what's wrong with the way that you were made and that's an argument that a lot of people will make and you can and you can look and pretty sure I'd want to hear you can be pretty sure but there's a lot of people who don't feel that way and if they're having that decision made for them is that really fair and if you don't make the decision for them well maybe you can't make it till later on in your life and then maybe it doesn't work as well so it's actually it's a pretty sensitive topic um one that we're not gonna I was just gonna say we should probably just move on one that we're not going to get any deeper into it's just it's just interesting so anyway there have been 11 accidents in total all of which were minor which google asserts were never the fault of their car seven involved another vehicle rear-ending the google car so that's pretty much not open for debate yeah two of them were side swipes and one involved another car traveling through a red light interesting thing here though is that I have personally and I'm sure you have as well and I know a few other people have in the office because of stories that have been told but avoided side swipes you'll see someone merging into your lane even if you're doing a shoulder check and you look back and you see them with like a tire over the line like oh my goodness and you can move over yep um why were there two side swipes if you've got all these sensors and stuff why were you not able to move or like honk your horn or do something to try to avoid it like I want more data on the side swipes also with the one with uh another car traveling through a red light yeah but one thing that they teach you in driver training school and like I'm not discrediting people that get sideswiped I'm not discrediting people to get uh sometimes it's unavoidable yeah and like if you get t-bone in red light like that's horrible I'm not saying it's your fault at all I'm just saying I want more information about those crashes because if it was right obviously someone coming yeah and a person would have scanned the intersection and been able to stop or turn off or avoid or something then maybe that's a problem bearing in mind though that a big part of google's argument is that this is going to be a numbers game and the more of them that there are it'll help because another google car wouldn't ram through red light onto and their sensors and algorithms are getting better more attentive and less error prone they're not actually saying that they're perfect there will be situations where a great driver paying a lot of attention would have happened to be looking the other way and would have been able to do like a freaking wicked like e-brake stop and that car going through the red light would have would have blown blown by them instead of hitting them but what they're saying and I'm a huge advocate for the this is a lower percentage I just want more data on those crashes so it's one of those things where and this is going to be such a big debate over the next 10 to 20 years self-driving cars will be at fault and they will kill people at some point it will happen it is quote me on this it's going to happen and everyone's going to spaz but the argument is going to be and this is going to be no consolation to the family and friends of whoever dies in this horrible situation that is going to happen the argument is going to be well I'm sorry it worked out this way for you with this but for the for the good of the collective everyone in general we still need to do this and uh wow that's going to be really tough it's easy it's really easy for me to say now from my safe you know room in our office where I'm not getting mowed down by a self-driving car or like you know my three-year-old son isn't getting you know killed on his way home from school in our family self-driving car or something like that it's easy for me to say yeah that's the right move but once that I think one really interesting thing that we're going to have to deal with at some point which I wouldn't be too surprised if it happened is a self-driving car getting hacked in some sort of way or a self-driving car going haywire because of some other reason whether it's like a failure somewhere or whatnot but if it just goes like oh the sidewalk is a street time to gta it and just like oh dear I don't know it's going to it's going to depend on the degree to which the self-driving car screws up yes um but I mean I even see things like where a person could have avoided it being a big one that people bring up like if I'd been driving my son that's what I mean though would he have gotten hit would we have gotten hit would he have died and how do I live with that for example um so yeah and I mean oh this is a great point from is that ghost putting that in there yeah good good good work ghost uh what if the self-driving car has to make a decision between the life of its passenger and the life of someone else what if swerving away from that person is gonna cause it to strike a pull uh oh yeah there's a lot of really nasty stuff that we're gonna run into like for sure I just don't know what ones we're gonna run into when all that kind of stuff and if it all happens kind of right at the beginning when they start selling them to consumers they'll set us back 50 years yeah exactly yeah I think it will happen regardless it's just yeah yeah I didn't even think about the decision between two lives thing that's brutal that's incredible yeah um so Mozilla launches a new firefox version without drm support so this was posted by X silent X and there's a number of articles on it uh tech crunch has one so let's go ahead and pop that up so you guys can see what tech crunch's website looks like in case you've never been there before they have a mozilla logo that was awesome okay so pretty much what's going on here is in order to do away with sort of aging the aging plugin system for online video content things like silver light um adobe flash to a much lesser extent and make way for html5 as the savior of the modern multimedia covered internet drm is going to be a thing whether you guys like it or not unless you use firefox apparently so what will happen here is that services like netflix which are going to rely on drm in order to be allowed through the agreements they have with content providers to stream video to you services like that are going to require that you have a drm enabled browser and mozilla actually released one that supports html5 drm specs um so now they have one that doesn't have it so you can get a drm free version because the closed source drm solution uh didn't really jive that well with the free and open firefox nests uh sort of principles of the mozilla foundation so now you can download a drm free version so presumably you just won't be able to like watch netflix on it yeah so it's more of a rapid more and more things in the future though netflix other things as well i don't know expect expect more drm yeah um i mean i wouldn't be that surprised to see something like um you know music videos on youtube implement something like this um you know yeah yeah anywhere where there's big money involved in the production of the content you can bet that they're spending big money to protect it from being taken by people and stuff yes okay microsoft oh what time is it oh uh uh if only i knew how to read a clock i bet you could learn that on you could learn how to make your own clock by programming the clock you actually could yes linda.com is the place to learn online aside from our show of course yeah i mean we're pretty great too but linda.com has experts actual experts less dick jokes yeah far fewer dick jokes um we have some people complain about the dick jokes on our our show so to them i would say visit linda.com slash wan show for a 10-day free trial you learn what you want at your own pace whether it's photography uh video editing whether it's office applications business all kinds of cool stuff and i plan start at whatever it is 25 dollars a month and you basically just try it out for 10 days and if it's great then you keep on you keep on joining and if you want to get better at your hobby you want to kick start a new career boom linda.com they're awesome we love those guys um also and once you learn all your skills and how to run a business you can jump on fresh books you're determined to do this you know what i like linking them all together it actually works really well in this case though so fresh books is a is like it's a cloud-based online tool for pretty much managing yourself so if you run a business let's say you're a plumber for example i always use that example okay i'll come up with a different example let's say you're a um a vigilante for example and you want to go ahead and you want to log your hours let's say you're a vigilante who has like a dirty cop you know paying him on the side but you want to make sure that you know you're you're getting your invoices sent out accurately and on time you know you want to make sure that that cop is paying by by credit card online so that um okay that's a terrible example too okay what is what is fresh books okay fresh books is the way if you're self-employed to spend more time running your business and less time your proper legal business yes your actual legal detracting an actual business not fighting people like batman um and less time dealing with accounting nonsense so for example you can log your hours in it you can enter information like your rates you can submit invoices to your customers via email you can see that they got them which is critical and then you can make it so they can pay by credit card because making it easy for people to pay you is a huge part of removing the barrier to getting paid which puts the money back into your pockets to keep reinvesting in your business and help you grow so check it out at freshbooks.com slash when and uh in enter when show in the how did you hear about us section and you also get a free trial i actually don't know how long their free trial is i think it's two weeks i want to say i'm not entirely sure but yeah try it out if you're running your own business also finally and this one's gonna be fun i always have fun with these okay so i think there are notes on loot crate but just to just to like just to make nick come in here all upset and butthurt there's one that i think you'll be super excited about actually okay i'll let you run into it so this my friends is the april loot crate um although we should say that uh the may crate theme will be unite apparently with a bunch of exclusive stuff but this is the fantasy crate i don't know if loot crates uh if i don't know if loot crates interpretation of my fantasies would actually be appropriate and you said the fantasy cradle is like oh dear well this is about eight inches long and black oh wow also square which is odd that would be kind of physically unfortunate and like cardboard paper cuts are kind of a bitch oh my god and like there too they probably get infected okay so what does this say document share enjoy there's like a map with a sword on it so i already know that this is going to go well you know what i'm actually wearing a shirt from a previous loot crate right now so i'm going to make it part of the process i'm going to change into my new loot crate shirt ah wait a second i'm not allowed to show my nipples on twitch so i think it's against the rules yes thank you thank you for being my change room you can watch if you want the hero always looks the hero always looks that's true oops okay all right so i got my new i got my new blueprint shirt you know what it is i'm kind of in need of sure it's no yes it is way yep i that's that's what i knew you're gonna be excited oh no this is not this is yeah no this i this i'm not that excited about princess bride playing cards i knew you'd be stoked for that yeah oh as you freaking wish man i love that movie i wonder if they have like a bunch of seriously man andrea the giant taken from us too young yeah oh that oh these are actually pretty nice too they're not like like crappy cards there's noticeably differences between crappy and good cards oh my goodness that joker card man oh it's the it's a dungeon keeper and we've got the r.o.u.s joker card as well oh i'm loving this okay what else we got in here i knew you'd be stoked for that i love how it like took you completely black tie geek bow tie just in case you need one of those oh this is an inflate okay i'll work on this okay you work on that what else we got uh game of thrones stark sigil usb flash drive how'd they pull that off that's awesome it's probably not very high capacity like i'll be surprised you know what i have a computer here let's find out so that's what it'll look like plugged into your computer and i'll let you guys know how big it is four gigs so big enough for a windows os there you go can i help you no way it's a crown okay so we've got a harry potter station or platform nine and three quarters sign i'm liking that wow i'm actually getting most of the references these days now the thing is is that i'm not that into game of thrones i have read the first book but i refuse to read the rest of the books until george rr martin gets off of his butt and writes the last couple and then i refuse to watch the show until i've read all the books because that's how i roll so we've got so it'll be a long time before uh before yeah a lot of things but i mean i know what winter is coming is all about so these are game of thrones magnets with the house sigils need you already take this up uh yes we've got a pin so uh fantasy loot crate pin and finally their usual like magazine thing oh yeah right there opens with as you wish loving that oh that's great no offense and as much as i haven't seen game of thrones um yeah it'll never hold a candle to princess bride sorry this is brides fantastic i can't believe they went the princess bride route you know like every dad that bought their kid loot crate got this one and was like yep i'll take that you can have the rest of it cool yeah dog so apparently this is a dnd t-shirt so that's why i that's why i didn't catch i think i told you not much of a dnd guy i might have brushed over oh man princess bride playing cards i'm loving that all right so lootcrate.com's code line is to save 10 which given how inexpensive these loot crates are is actually not that meaningful unless you sign up for like a year or something so definitely to get the most out of your 10% off sign up for a year don't just do one crate because they're like they're what like 15 bucks or something like that i don't i think isn't it on here i don't remember they're not that expensive they're relatively cheap like how much you get it's like the cost of just the shirt so basically you're saving like a buck 50 if you use our code and you only buy one loot crate so sign up for the subscription and uh this is like a nice it's actually kind of nice yeah it's not bad it's bulky which it is bulky but it looks my favorite thing but it looks cool and if you're just sure you could thread something through the teeth and then keep it on your keychain that'd be cool that'd be pretty sweet all right so let's move on to our next topic then shall we all right it's funny he's always the one that remembers 1337 now i am all right microsoft reveals windows 10 editions oh jeez they're plated in gold no only the windows 10 edition edition is plated edition edition sorry that's pretty funny um okay do you want to handle this and i'll inflate my crown because you're wearing one i want to wear one too it doesn't take that long which is nice compared to all the other inflatable stuff we've been doing lately but okay so the main i meant the channels wow you shouldn't tell them about that okay so go ahead so okay there's windows 10 home windows 10 mobile windows 10 pro winners 10 enterprise windows 10 education windows 10 mobile enterprise and i thought there might have been one more but we'll just go with that and i'm going to jump to the actual windows website because our notes here kind of balls so moving forward i hope i posted this in the chat i'm going to post it again so if that's a troll i'm sorry um so windows 10 home is pretty much exactly what you'd expect what they're listing here is stuff like cortana uh windows hello face recognition fingerprint login the microsoft edge web browser uh mail calendar maps photos all the things that kind of just come with windows um yeah not a ton of extra stuff but you do get stuff like the xbox live gaming community if you care about that at all um it's there for you so it has that i guess and yeah that's about it can i jump in and ask why code names are always so much cooler than the actual product name why did they rename it edge they should have just called it spartan yeah that would have been so bad actually is that spartan it's called edge now i think so now that's really disappointing yeah all right anyways so what's douche here sunglasses or an inflatable crown on and then wear the sunglasses oh that could work oh my god the world's coolest king ever one of my crown things is all derpy sorry chrome crashed or i'd be showing you guys the windows blog page right now it's making me anyways windows 10 pro is for pc's and tablets and two and ones as i'm sure windows 10 normal is as well anyways so it builds on top of that it also includes a windows update for business which allows you to kind of peer-to-peer share windows updates decide when they go out oh that's cool yeah uh you can decide when the updates go out so if you're like oh well we're kind of mission critical at like 4 pm so no you can do it to your entire network at a specified time later on which like that's not super new but it's probably easier to set up now i'm assuming so that's cool because it's more centralized i guess that's nice i like the peer-to-peer sharing one there's some other stuff for windows update business but that those are the main parts um yeah then there isn't a huge difference between those two then there's windows 10 mobile which is essentially for phones um and it's just more it's it's better for touch there's a touch version of office which is nice and if you plug it into a large format monitor it will what is it called continuum for phone which makes it turn into uh basically just a pc experience so that you could have a large format monitor and everything would be fine uh moving on to windows 10 enterprise there's some other stuff like long term servicing branch um support yeah volume licensing other things that are probably not super most of the stuff people won't really care too much about yeah other than that it's not super interesting so you're probably fine with home which has been the story since forever unless you want remote desktop connection in which case you can get pro yeah hey if you want to like peer-to-peer share windows updates with your roommate yeah which makes absolutely no sense at all so i can't i can't get chrome back open so you're you're on point for the next one too cool all right so moving on do do do do do do oh also i wanted to add that apparently um there's there's like certain specific games being included with it like candy crush saga oh yeah that's been so that's been making the rounds lately so okay there's two ways to look at this number one is does microsoft really need whatever payout king games is giving them to include this stupid game with the operating system and perspective number two is does it really matter because it's going to take up like no space at all and you cannot install it is it any different from including minesweeper really yeah i mean i would argue that since it actually has a micro transaction doesn't minesweeper now shut up or you have to like no no what's up with minesweeper on windows 8 i don't know it's not there right and then you have to get it from the store minesweeper results for minesweeper really do they not include it yeah and then i think you you have to like buy it or you can only play it a certain amount of times and you have to refill your credits or something i don't remember how it works but minesweeper on above windows 7 is super weird and then even like i don't think windows 7 has minesweeper interesting okay i didn't know that okay so turn it on or something like it's not a default feature so the point is is this really any different and should we really be concerned about it someone in chat's gonna correct i personally think it's a crappy direction for them to be going i think that including their own first party games that don't have microtransactions is probably fine but this is exactly the same kind of crap that i thought microsoft was trying to fight against by encouraging their pc makers to ship clean windows and what and that they were setting a good example for with the surface pro line not including any bloatware this just seems to fly in the face of the direction that pretty much everything else is going i mean apple doesn't ship a bunch of bloat even android is moving away from shipping a bunch of bloat even even like some of the worst android offenders like samsung are moving away from shipping bloat with their operating systems so i um yeah i think that's pretty much all i have to say about that i sure wish that this would do things that would be great thanks i don't remember what it is with minesweeper on windows 8 but it has like a 4.7 out of 10 rating so something's going on that i don't think the chat is entirely aware of and i remember trying to play it and there was really weird crap going on in windows 8 but anyways in windows 7 uh you're right chat it is enabled but exactly how i said you have to have to go and turn it on so yeah anyways okay so let's move on to our next topic shall we ftc rules in favor of tesla direct to consumer sales um they're saying it's legal but it's not entirely through yet the ftc will have a lot of sway yeah um but the conversation is not over i was under the impression that the conversation was over and it was fine and then there was an update to the article which i don't know if it was actually this one but there was an update being like whoa actually it's not the ftc is just kind of approving it and then other things have to happen but it's it's moving along which is good um so goodbytes posted the windows 10 editions edition stuff um silver drachi uh posted the tesla bit so uh here's here's a quote from the ftc a fundamental principle of competition is that consumers not regulation should determine what they buy and how they buy it the ftc said consumers may benefit from the ability to buy cars directly from manufacturers whether they are shopping for luxury cars or economy vehicles the same competition principles should apply in either case this is a great show of common sense the original article here is from tech drive.co and it's uh it's refreshing to see sensible quotes coming from stuff that's all has emblems that are blue and white and have america written all over them so canna hasn't really been doing much better lately no that is a tremendous tremendously good point but it's it's refreshing to see our neighbors to the self figuring it out because usually we just follow whatever they do it just takes us a while yep that's very true um so yeah there's not really a ton to say here it's moving along which is super good um but it's not finalized so we can't really start the party yet i guess all right uh scientists have invented a quadrillion cobbily an fps camera also known as a one trillion fps camera yeah that first number was nothing it was awesome it was absolutely nothing this was posted by prashant nani x and the original article here is from science alert japanese scientists a new trillion frame per second camera so it can capture events occurring at 45 000 kilometers per second wow there's some limitations like last august it could only capture six frames per shot so it was basically done immediately and they're hoping to reach 100 so it will still be done immediately but it'll allow them to observe events like biological processes in far more detail than before very very cool so this is more than a thousand times faster than a conventional high speed camera so let's have a look at what else they uh think is really interesting about this that is really cool so apparently each color uh okay this is separate color flash can be analyzed by stringing them together a moving picture blah blah blah so they split each thing how's it going here the technology works by splitting a single light pulse into a fast barrage of rainbow colored smaller pulses and they analyze those individual pulses insane so there's another imaging technique apparently known as the pump probe method i'm not an expert on high speed imaging so there you go so this can capture frames faster than stamp but it can only capture one frame at a time so uh yeah yeah so they're working towards 25 frames per shot right now last august they were at six they hope to reach 100 so just to put that in perspective 100 frames would be what one 10 billionth of a second of actual time that they're capturing hold on i'm probably doing that wrong no i think that's right yeah one 10 billionth of a second is all they can capture at a time so they better get the timing of this thing freaking freaking right exactly they better not be like our camera people just you know holding pushing the shutter button like whatever like yeah whatever bro they press oh what we missed it oh i guess that's too bad i guess we'll you know figure out getting this whole apparatus set up again thanks for that jackass nope they're gonna need to be pretty precise about this i have a feeling you're tying this into something oh no nothing happened the thing i just troll these guys yeah um so the new konami ceo this was posted by boozu and uh maybe there was some booze involved probably not no probably got a point but original article here is from polygon so new konami ceo says mobile gaming is the future and uh triple a will not be as much of an emphasis done done done done not surprising i don't know yeah lots of people are spending money on microtransactions on phone games i will never get it i will never like it i will never understand and i will never do it this is why i play retro games still i'm but i think part of the problem with like oh all the monies in mobile games is that people are making junk and just terrible releases for full featured games when was the last time you were really excited for a game release um well it's hard to get me excited these days like i never got into gta or i would have been probably really excited for gta 5 um realistically that came out like a year and a half ago though okay i guess that's true well it's not on a platform that mattered though yes it's true yeah not on a platform that i actually am going to play games on so um wow gee i don't know the last i guess the last triple a game i really really enjoyed was probably tomb raider 2013 okay that's not too bad yeah i thought that was i thought it was a great game it was like it lacked certain things that older games had and there wasn't really a lot of exploration to it there's like three tombs aside from just like story mission gems and like i think there was like some kind of game mode that by the time i played it had been shut down or something like that like there's some there's some pretty stupid stuff but um i don't know i thought i thought it was really good i definitely enjoyed it i'm just trying to think like i see a lot of people in chat saying which are three but like little scared for that game have you seen all the crap going around yeah it's kind of shaping up to be like like watchdogs junior in some ways like not to nearly the same extent as watchdogs but we're already discovering they dumbed it down so it's not out yet we'll yeah we'll see how console party it is you think okay we'll end up benching it is cd project red smart enough and troll enough to just release it as the full featured one that they announced a long time ago to pretend that they're pulling a ubisoft and dumbing it down and then just not and then not do that are they troll enough wow we should ask pasha pasha biceps are they troll enough i don't know um i don't know that'd be really cool i'm i'm just largely ignoring it until it comes out yeah i just wanted to actually come out so anyway a little bit more from the from the interview all i know is that i used to pre-order games quite a bit and i was never dissatisfied and for the last in the last long time i've basically i've stopped pre-ordering games to be honest yeah and it ended up being everything that i pre-ordered was a disappointment not like a few things you pre-ordered assassins creed that one that you hated right yes yeah that was the beginning of the end yeah okay um so so some more some more quotes um yeah there were a couple you hated actually yeah just just to clarify this one that i hated um so uh we will pursue mobile games aggressively our main platform will be mobiles following the pay as you play model of existing games our games must move from selling things like items to selling things like features we saw with those games that even people who buy physical games are motivated to buy extra content the success of our current mobile game power pro especially has motivated us to actively push more of our popular series onto mobile than ever before we hope that our overseas games such as metal gear solid 5 and winning 11 continue to do well but we are always thinking about how to push our franchises into mobile there too wow that is like the single most depressing interview ever yeah there's been other full featured game companies that have bailed out to mobile though like i don't i don't know i don't think they're speaking entirely on behalf of the whole gaming industry they're just speaking on behalf of themselves and probably a lot of other companies i don't know i will never be into phone games i've tried a bunch of them and they're just all garbage i i used to actually play a lot more mobile games than i do now like that uh the jetpack joyride thing used to be able to play no not not just that like army of darkness i played through the whole thing till the end um just trying to think of some other ones that i got reasonably into i haven't enjoyed pretty much any i've had some people suggest some i will probably try it again in the future i finished reaper uh reaper is a lot of fun to play with a controller uh totally horrible on touchscreen controls but on the shield it was actually really fun just a stupid brainless hack and slash if i'm gonna play on a shield though i'd probably just play a full feature game off my pc it uh reaper is a good toilet game because you can just like play one level and then peace out so so that was that was a big part of the reason i played it um yeah hmm wow okay oculus releases recommended system specs for the upcoming cv or consumer version one rift and they have confirmed the resolution so this is posted by we maniac on the forum and uh here is the post on the oculus.com blog so what else what else so you want to run through the recommended specs there yes i'm just trying to work on getting gtx 970 for one thing gtx 970 and r9 290 this has been something that i've been kind of preaching about for a long time is that you need a hardcore system this is a rich boy's toy my friends yes exactly um and that's it doesn't end there i5 4590 equivalent or greater like you need good stuff and the thing is this is recommended specs yeah like not super high end specs like there's i can guarantee you right now there's going to be games that are going to need a lot more than that yep because you need uh have they talked about hertz yet so you see you need 90 fps at 2160 by 1200 consistently so you need above 90 fps at 2160 by 1200 good luck on a lot of different high graphics games like oh my god that's not easy to do okay we've got people in the chat upset about it and upset at oculus about it no no not at all nothing to do with oculus no this has to do with oculus being realistic about the way that they're presenting the requirements for gaming on this platform to their customers the oculus doesn't want people buying this thing with their you know i'll pick on something 5770 you know uh and expecting to have a good good gaming experience stutters when i get sick oh oculus sucks exactly it's the it's how demanding the game is and the frame rate that you need to run at to have a good vr experience that is prompting them to release these out of this world recommended system specs so they want a high end quad core eight gigs plus of ram hdmi 1.3 and a 970 or amd 290 equivalent or greater in order to and i would guess that this is sort of along the lines of what would give you a good experience playing something like eve valkyrie yeah based on that a lot of its black space yeah um if you're gonna want to be playing if you're gonna want to be playing you know something like uh grand theft auto 5 or skyrim with a whack ton of mods on or something like that good luck yeah it's gonna be really really really hard it's basically all we have to say about that yep and like the thing is for people that are gonna get mad they need to get these specs up there so that they can push higher resolution panels and whatnot so it actually looks good doesn't make you feel sick and is worthwhile even doing at all it's an important thing to think about on the subject of richard three carol kareen posted this did i say richard three i don't know i heard that oh sorry witcher three uh carol kareen posted on our forum this is from uh reddit.com slash witcher our well r slash witcher i guess is the way that people would normally say that i've left out the r i'm sorry r slash witcher um reviews have apparently gone up a week before release and there's nothing lower than eight out of ten with kotaku rating it yes that's cool with that said that doesn't well look at this games radar four out of five i dearly hope that the day zero patch eliminates the technical issues it's literally the first line um also known as there's nothing else interesting right now please read our article we rated it really high you know that's another really interesting perspective because a lot of people will a lot of people will talk about how the game companies must be paying the you know the press to give a good game review and you know what i'm sure there are cases of that but the way that it actually works it's going to be a lot more complicated than that it's going to be hey we're running a giant campaign with you to advertise for witcher three and in most cases uh you know an editor is not going to be blatant enough to tell a reviewer give it a good review it's going to be more of like an unspoken thing but aside from the whole paid for reviews thing remember these guys don't get paid anything if people aren't reading the reviews so there's a lot of different ways that you can get people to read your reviews you could be like yahtzee over at the escapist you can make them entertaining if not informative um you can be controversial like that ridiculous thing i can't remember what site it was on about the uh the shadow of mordor scene where you learn your sneak attack by kissing the white well exactly i thought you're talking about stirring up stirring up controversy star wars battle something the one that's coming out battlefront yeah i always want to say battlefield they're so similar anyways star wars battlefront coming out with ig n being like there's no need to worry actually we're really worried in two different videos like not in that order yeah um so so you can be controversial or you can you can have an article that says the game is really great so when someone's going and looking for an excuse to buy it because look come on let's face it that's how we buy things we look for someone to tell us we're making a good decision that's what we want to hear so you think something's bad you'll google blah blah blah blah blah issues and you think something's good you'll be like top five features of the witcher three yeah it's a thing is the witcher three worth buying and you know the top one of course is going to be yes um so so that's actually a really good really good point is you know what's in it for these reviewers giving it a good score should we pre-order it based on that the reviews are i don't like scores ever at all at least they gave out review copies yep that's better than some other folks are doing these days at least the reviewers even got a crack at it before it's really rare that people allow reviews to go out before release at all anyways so that's kind of cool yeah that's usually would go out on day of release so that all the pre-order guys already spent their money yeah so so that's been the trend lately so this is this is definitely better but i would still wait for user reviews do you really need to play witcher three one week early you've waited this long i mean i guess if you're into having the experience at the same time as your buddies yeah i understand wanting it right away i'm gonna wait i get it i have enough backlog that it doesn't matter so whatever i guess i won't wait because we're gonna benchmark it goodbytes posted in the forum that microsoft has released remember that super cool video stabilization thing they were doing they have released hyperlapse this is freaking awesome you can i think you have to apply for the beta yeah we really need to uh you have to apply for the beta on uh android i believe as well as windows phone can't remember what all the rules are some of them you have to apply some of them you can just download it but pretty much you can take crappy camera footage and turn it into like this super smooth uh this page isn't loading very well but i hope you get the point i want to do it with a gopro i want to go on a hike with a gopro and then hyperlapse the whole hike man that looks cool so it uses really advanced processing to turn the scene into like a 3d model and then it uses that to stabilize it instead of the um sort of the the the more reactive correction that more traditional shaky cam reduction techniques have used very very cool stuff apparently works with phone footage gopro footage um i really want to try it out now that it's out that just dropped uh today if i recall correctly that's cool i'm gonna sign up for that beta um corsair has 128 gig ddr4 memory kits how much are they going to cost you if you have to ask you can't afford it yep over a thousand dollars ram for the rich and nerdy says the pc world dot com article uh so they have them up to 2666 megahertz i want to say um kinkson is saying their upcoming big ass set will hit speeds of 3000 megahertz so what could you want to do with something like this oh i don't know you could create a 100 gigabyte ram drive with 28 gigs left for system memory i guess if you're into that sort of thing here we go here we go here we go the cheaper of the two is just shy of two thousand dollars with the more expensive 2666 kit running you 2120 dollars i believe g skill is working on something as well but with them i think it was 64 gig four stick kits whereas these are 128 gig eight stick kits from corsair and kinkson so i've already reached out to corsair for a sample um i really doubt we'll get to keep that sample just gonna say they're either probably gonna say no or you can have it for like four days yeah and then send it to someone else to to talk because there's nothing to really cover about it you're gonna put it in a system you know you like yep the number of recognized ram is very high yep and moving on and it's we won't even be the first time we've put 128 gigs of ram in a system we have one downstairs right now with 128 gigs of ram in it what's interesting about this is the fact that it's unbuffered memory and it works on a consumer platform with a consumer grade cpu rather than being like an ecc registered server gym yeah um i had one other topic that i posted somewhere down below uh this is hot this is a rumor and this is in the rejected pile but i just thought it was funny sam fisher posted on the forum netflix reportedly planning top gear revival called house of cars uh there is no confirmation that if they went after clarkson and his crew which right now it's up in the air they could be negotiating with anyone it is rumored that netflix is negotiating with them i really doubt they would call it house of cars that would be really freaking hope they were pretty much the stupidest thing ever i would still watch it but i really hope they would um and this uh just dropped today as well you can tour razors flagship store the first of many according to min-tan ceo so it has a very apple store microsoft store kind of vibe and much like those other stores it's pretty much a one-stop shop for everything razor you can get hands-on with pretty much any of their products that's a very cool concept uh two years ago you would have told me razor has a retail store and i would have said what would they need a retail store for they could like you could put it in a closet here's the wall of mice here's the wall of keyboards and here's the trash bin out back with the headsets that you probably shouldn't buy um whereas now they're getting to the point where they have enough really cool technology and enough accessories to go with it that you can kind of go oh yeah crap i guess like i kind of get it like trash bin might still be there yeah the headsets i'm still not a huge fan of and min knows that but you know uh whatever um there's there's because there's a lot of stuff that you could show off in a store like this that might not even necessarily run on razors own hardware but is their technology razor comms for example they could have you know like a little like you know land set up this is gonna say like a four four four against four which even looks like they could be doing um just constantly set up with the headsets that they have right there so you could have a little mini land um so they could be showing off their software technology they could be showing off their streaming technology on the ford console if you could like uh book time for like little gaming tournaments and stuff in there i don't know so they're apparently allowing fans to vote uh although realistically i mean they're smart people they probably already have a roadmap for where they want to launch stores but they're apparently letting fans vote on where they want to see stores next and um these guys really do look like they're on the fast track to kicking a whole ton of ass i don't like everything they do but as you guys know i'm a huge fan of the blade 14 notebook in particular um really love a lot of the other stuff that they've done not a big fan of some of the other stuff that they've done but you can't deny that they are a marketing jugger knot and the brand recognition that they have for what would have been a completely niche business gaming peripherals you know five or ten years ago is absolutely incredible so good on them good on them for figuring out a way to uh to take their brand to the next level and these boutique stores seem to be starting with apple the way that uh the way that brands are doing this these days so here's there's actually a video where min shows you around the store so i haven't actually watched it yet i was just checking out some pictures of it they actually apparently had to shut down the mall uh because there were so many people that it was a safety concern lined up to go to the razor store in taiwan holy cow these guys are so good at presentation yeah like this stuff does not look like this when it's on my desk it's like a jewelry shopping it's low light in that specific area it looks really cool like it's like jewelry shopping you know the the color temperature of the light they use to illuminate the diamonds is specifically chosen to make them sparkle better like it's it's down to a freaking science and razor is really really good at that stuff yeah yeah so uh there you go that's what the store looks like give or take two or two and a half minutes of video or so um so i guess do you have any did you have anything else i'm no much done so i want to talk about today uh thank you guys very much for tuning in uh we love the land show especially when you guys watch i guess finals must be over because there are 6500 of you watching live thank you you're all awesome it's so hot it is really hot in here even though the windows open we need that cross breeze yes i can't wait to move into the new office we're like six to eight weeks away though guys it's like not happening soon and we have no space here we might have to do another u-haul just to clear up enough space we might have to do like more than one yeah there's like a lot of oh just to clear up enough space yeah to like survive here yeah no i think we'll have to do multiple u-hauls to the other place i thought you meant like to move us i was like dude that wasn't even that much stuff at all no that barely made a dent and like a big problem is we're not going to be able to make very efficient use of the u-haul because so much of what we have has no packaging or protection so like unless someone's literally riding in the back like holding things in place that's not that's not happening channel super fun no channel super fun not fun that's dangerous and illegal we've never done anything illegal on channels we've done stuff that's dangerous what did you all right thanks for tuning into the wancho oh it didn't work i knew it i knew it i win i win the game of this thing is super broken you win nothing uh at least i don't want to swap but whoa squish the stars it like pops up the rest of the world uh some of us are actually working right now linda
