 Alright... And... Wibby Wobby Woo, we are live! With only a few technical difficulties this week. Yes, my friends, only a few. But, we moved the Wanshow logo, it is no longer over top of Luke's head, now it is over top of mine. It's not over your head. Okay. It's... it's a... okay. Well, I'm short. Are you sitting up taller than usual? No, I'm not. Usually you lower your chair, so we're about the same height. I actually never lower my chair, you lower my chair. Not that I'm asking you to go ahead and do that now, but, you know. That's as low as it can go. I'm sorry. God, I hate you. So, welcome to the Wanshow, guys. We've got a great show ahead of us today, I hope. And, we've actually had, honestly... Actually, okay, we probably do have a great show ahead of us, because this has been one of those weeks where I'm averaging about four hours of sleep a night, because I have been working my butt off on a couple of things to just kind of kick ass and get us ahead of the eight ball for the first time since we've moved in. Like, we actually had some content buffered when we started moving. And then, of course, we used it all. Like, we burned that so hard when we moved. And then, since then, I don't know if any of you guys have ever moved before, but it's horrible. It's not like you move for three days, and then you kind of go, oh, yeah, I'm going to relax on the front porch with my glass of, like, lemonade and my, you know... I like the lemonade choice. Yeah, the lemonade, and I got, like, my neighbor boy mowing the lawn, and it's like, whatever. No, no, no, no, no, no, it's not like that. So, we have been moving since we moved. We're still, yeah, there's still a lot of stuff being sorted out. There's still a lot of stuff, but there's a lot that's taken care of, and it's gotten to the point where this week, I was able to only do a few moving things. I was able to do all the videos that I normally need to do, and get two full extra LTTs shot. So, stay tuned, because they're actually both good. Dell sent us a ruggedized tablet that is rated for being dropped almost a meter while in operation. Not to mention that it has a capacitive touchscreen that operates with water on it, so that's cool. Wait, we're supposed to do the intro. Chipgate will be a thing that we're being talked about, that we'll talk about. Also, Tesla cars are able to auto drive as of yesterday. The Scarpe Laser Razor got pulled off Kickstarter, and Bell is being fined huge amounts of money for faking app reviews on the App Store. We should probably roll the intro. The worst thing about that is that in the context of how much money Bell makes selling you their service and their apps, it's really just pennies. But that's a whole other conversation, which I guess we should do after the intro. I love this show. It might be more than one part. Heavens, a Linus Tech Tips video that's multi-part? This one, I don't think I would have a choice. I think if you put it in one video, even if it was a pretty long video, it would be just way too hard to watch. You've seen part of the problems that I have to solve already. Yes, I have. And I have to document doing all of that. And there's more that I probably haven't told you about yet. So basically, Luke has a really cool build blog that he's working on. Actually, it is going to be a crazy awesome period of time here for video content. Starting this weekend, YouTube is getting the Scrapyard Wars Season 3 premiere. Vessel is getting Episode 2. YouTube is getting the dual-headed gaming machine build. Did you watch it? That thing is so cool. So we've got a single box, two gamers playing Battlefront on it at the same time. I just finished shooting my video of the X34 Predator LCD. So that's Acer's 34-inch curved, ultra-wide G-Sync, 100-hertz monitor. It's freaking bananas. I just finished filming that Dell ruggedized tablet that you can kick around and... Get this. Not just waterproof. Or water... Well, nothing is proof. Not just water-resistant like rain, but jets of water from any direction. That's the Ingress Protection rating on this thing. I am so stoked to put it through the paces. That's super cool. To be fair, though, jets of water. Would you count a waterfall as a jet of water? I would, because it has weight to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So my Z3 was held under a waterfall screen up, recording with the camera for like five minutes. Why? Because you could? Because you could? Yeah. And it worked fine. So that rating means it can probably take even more than that. So I was planning to pull out those Soaker Blaster things that we have and just wreck it. That's awesome. Yeah. I'm pretty excited for that. Right. I guess we should do topics. What was I talking about before the intro? I'm sorry. I'm super sleep-deprived. We should just do the week in recap. Right. So we are finally going to be back ahead in terms of the content, which means we're not like running around like... Let me find an example. You know, sometimes people call us out on this, and we don't generally sort of acknowledge it. But come on, guys. It's not like we're not aware that once in a while a piece of content is something that we were kind of sitting around going... What's the fastest thing we can do right now? It's 1 p.m. We don't have a video started yet for tonight. What can we throw together? So like the server room updates video took forever. It took way longer than it was supposed to. So recycling your electronics was one that I've kind of had in my mind for the better part of a year. But the original plan was to do it as like a music video or something. So that got kicked in the head and that became just a normal LTT release. Which is super easy. Which was easy, but you know what? Interesting and important, but easy. You know what's really funny? About that video, it really didn't do well on release, but over time, it's actually still... So a week after its release, more than a week after its release, it's still holding steady at about 4,000 views a day. That is very, very strong. So in the long term, that video may actually do really well. Which is good. Sometimes I think... We need less firetruck. I see how less firetruck. Sometimes I think like some of our most innovative ideas have come about when we just are kind of forced to do something fast. Like that video, the best type of CPU cooler, final answer that has 1.27 million views... Well, you also named it very clickbaity. That's probably one of our most clickbaity videos ever. And it's not even... Isn't it not even the final answer? The final answer is... It depends. Isn't that what you do? Well, that is a thing I do. Yes! But that is bullshit! No, but that is the answer! The final answer is that you don't have an answer. It's like... Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. So Linus' final answer. Here, no, I'm gonna... I'll screen share this with you guys. Because this is a thing I've done. So, best type of CPU cooler. The final answer. It depends. Okay? Core i7 versus Xeon. Which is better? Final answer. It depends. AMD versus Intel. Final answer. I remember that one. It depends. Sometimes... AMD versus Nvidia. Final answer. Sometimes... That's the answer! The answer is... How old are those videos? We should just redo that. There's a lot of fanboy hate going around right now. Yeah, five years ago was the Intel versus AMD one. We could totally redo that. Because that was on the NCIX Tech Tips channel anyway. Not even ours. But the thing is that people don't understand about this fanboy crap. Yeah. Is that it's not that simple. People are like, Don't Nvidia cards run hot? Sometimes. Some cards. 480. Yeah, 480 was a furnace in your tower. I know because I ran four of them in a half X at the time. And it was ridonkulous. They didn't throttle. What? Or die. But it was in a half X. So like... Yeah. We gave them a fighting chance. Yeah. Sorry, I don't remember where I was going with that anymore. Right, right, right, right, right. The answer is not that simple. Life is rarely that simple. What car should I buy? I don't know. Do you need a truck bed? Do you have to make long haul trips across North America? Maybe you need a semi. I don't know. Are you trying to pick up chicks? Maybe lose the semi. Unless you're trying to pick up trucker chicks. In which case, grab the semi. I don't know. Who are you? What are you about? Or just a classy woman who wants a man with a straight up job. Right. And doesn't want to see him very often. Maybe. Maybe she's introverted. Maybe she's... Okay, so introverted chicks who are into a guy with a well paying job that has him away from home a lot. Now we're getting really specific. Alright, so let's jump into our first topic of the day. This one is from Ars Technica. Are you dropping links? Sure. That was my way of saying, yo, drop the links. I know. We communicate so well now. It's like the old married couple thing. It's like... So the glasses. Yeah, I'm cleaning them. So this is really scary. University of Cambridge study finds 87% of Android devices are insecure. The study blames the OEMs for lack of updates and ranks Nexus devices as the most secure. Which shouldn't be a surprise for a couple of reasons. Number one, the obvious reason that Google is responsible for updating Nexus devices directly. Number two, the less obvious and more unsettling reason is that the Nexus program hasn't been around that long. So Google commits support for Nexus devices for I believe it's two years. So there just aren't that many Nexus devices that are outside of the support period. Which isn't saying that the Nexus program solves the problem at all. Like, at all. This is really brutal. Yeah, I mean this is just brutal stuff. What else you got? For this topic? Yeah. Google and OEMs have committed to, like he said, the monthly security update program. Some OEMs. But it's for less than two years old or for Nexus three years old. Oh, there you go. But that's security updates, not new versions of Android. Right, but still security updates. So a lot of people's devices, is it everywhere now that your contract is only allowed to last for two years? No, that's Canadian law. So not US? Yeah, I have no idea how it works elsewhere. Okay, so in Canada your contract with your phone company can only last for two years. But another thing is, is this agreement two years since the device launched? I believe so. So not two years since your contract started. And a lot of people are going to start a contract and then only want to pay like 50 bucks for a phone. Not a considerable amount for a phone. So they might get an older model of a phone, which is actually very close to its security updates being over. So if you're going through rotations of phones based on renewing your contract, which is extremely common, your, yeah, well, not anymore. Yeah, you could end up still on a very current for you phone that's within your contract period. So you're not eligible for a device upgrade that is not still getting security updates. And this has really come to a head because of some of the really scary Android exploits that have cropped up lately. So what's the answer? Well, the answer is actually pretty obvious. Both Apple and Microsoft with their recent FU to the US carriers. Yeah, that was awesome. Is that in here? Yeah, yeah, it's in there. We should maybe we'll move on to, you want to bring that up and we'll do that as our next topic. Both Apple and Microsoft have the answer. You just have to, well, say FU to the carriers and start and to the OEMs. And that, I mean, that might not be something that that's it's such a double edged sword for Google. So one, screw the carriers. No one cares about what they think. And two, you have to be delivering your security updates from a central service the way that both Apple with iOS and Microsoft with Windows 10 are going to be doing. The problem is that part of the Android benefit that the double edged sword that is Android is that it gives the device makers the flexibility to implement their own upgrades and their own tweaks and their own user experience enhancements. Like whether it's multi window support or whether it's enhanced. I mean, little even just little stupid things like LG's enhanced copy paste is awesome. Like so awesome. It just comes with it just comes with a clipboard clipboard tray. It's like, yay, this is cool. Or, I mean, just little things like the way that Motorola I love showing this off because it is so cool. The way that Motorola lets you just flick a couple times and turn on your flashlight or wiggle and turn on the camera like my camera launches faster than any other anyone else because I can be wiggling it as I lift it up to my face and my camera app is launched. There's there's things around that too. Yes, and I would rather security personally in the Microsoft article though it says when asked about carrier updates. Microsoft stated that Microsoft will be working closely with mobile operators to leverage their testing and our word a little weird and are fighting to meet and exceed current quality bars will use their input to decide when to send the updates out based on input from mobile operators mainly and Windows insiders as well. But like, so think about it, they could talk to those carriers and be like, hey, we're going to launch this and X amount of time. Here's all the code update your crap. And if they don't do it, that's their fault, in my opinion, but instead it's going the other way around. They're being too careful about it being like here's your stuff. You send it out whenever you're ready. That's putting no pressure on them. That's going to be like, we'll update it when our small team has enough time. And like I get the argument from the Android handset maker side where they're like, you know what, actually our margins are really slim and we straight up can't afford the dev time if you're going to expect us to release a new device X, Y or Z. And you know what? The answer to that then is you have to charge more. You can't just keep slashing your price in order to stay competitive and just kind of say Yolo screw it to the customers who already bought your products. And the really disappointing part of all of this is that it's not just the little guys. Like I get it if ZTE or like what would be an example of like a small... Anyway, I get it if your little companies, your OnePlus or whatever, if they're kind of going, yeah, we have an enthusiast phone. We expect people to update their OS themselves or whatever. We're charging a rock bottom price for it. I get it if they're kind of taking that stance and that sucks for their users, but hopefully they go into that knowing what they're getting. But for the giants like Samsung, it's totally inexcusable to be spending your billions of dollars on marketing the next big thing when you're not actually taking care of the last freaking big thing properly. So, I mean, yeah, let's see if there's anything else to really mention about the Windows thing. Not much. Basically, Microsoft is just being relatively aggressive when it comes to updating their stuff and they're saying that their main input on when to update things will be from Windows insiders and mobile operators. But they will just be pushing it directly through their own services anyways. So if services, if things need to be updated, they just will be. So there's a lot of things I like about Android, but this security to me could be a huge, huge factor for Windows mobile adoption. Yeah. I mean, it still needs app support, but, but, but security for a while has been kind of pushing me away from Android a bit, to be completely honest. Yeah. Well, I mean, looking at the the ARS, the ARS graph has a great has a great graphic here, too. So it's I mean, this isn't new. That's the whole point. Yeah. Yeah. It's like going back to April 2012. It was the same as it is today in October 2016. Yeah. And there are we've talked about this repeatedly in the past over and over and over again about how there's huge security problems. And like people are going to slam on me, but I don't care when iPhones coming out with like the little encrypted core and all that kind of stuff. And when there's the huge case in the States where they were trying to see if it wasn't a government could see what's on that part of your phone. And they said, no, you can't. That's awesome. That's super cool. It's annoying because there's no way I want to give up this phone. Yeah. I love this phone. Yeah. Like I actually do. Yeah. There's there's stuff that I hate about the iPhone and those phone experiences. The fact that with iOS, you must have an iPhone, which means if you want decent battery life, you better put some kludgy, stupid Mophie case over top of it. It's like, thank you, Joni Ive for your beautiful industrial design that just that camera bump like just so much dumb crap. There's so many things that make me hate lose the camera bump and fill it with battery. What a concept. Yeah. Whatever. It's not artistic enough or something. And then Windows Phone. I mean, I think my problems with Windows Phone are fairly well documented at this point. Speaking of the iPhone, though, let's let's bring up Chip Gates, the iPhone 6s controversy. So I'm just going to pull up Austin's video on it, which has about 500,000 views. Yes, this is something that alone. That's an ad. Well, we're supporting Austin, right? Cool. So I'm going to pull up Austin's video on it, which one thing that I really like that I got to call it here is Jonathan Morrison as well. These guys like kind of teamed up for these videos. So they both have a call out to each other at the end of each other's videos and their videos complement each other. So if you're interested in Chip Gate, check out Austin's and Jonathan Morrison's. Yeah. So basically, in a nutshell, Apple couldn't get enough chips or didn't want to, for whatever reason, buy all of their chips from a single source. Because the reality of it is there's only a handful of manufacturers on the planet, Apple not being one of them, who can actually fabricate semiconductors, like that is microprocessors, at the latest manufacturing process nodes. So Intel is one of them, and you can bet that Intel isn't going to run around making iPhone CPUs. Samsung is another one, and as unlikely a partnership as that seems, Samsung is actually one of the sources for the iPhone 6s. TSMC is another one. Global Foundries, the spinoff from AMD's old manufacturing, is another. And I can't remember what happened. We actually talked about this on WAN Show, but I can't remember what happened to IBM's junk. But blah, blah, blah, chip fabrication. I think they might have sold to Global Foundries, if I recall correctly. So, anyway, there's only a handful of companies you can make them from, and usually you go with one or the other, because it requires a significant amount of re-engineering of the chip itself in order to utilize someone else's manufacturing process. And in the case of Samsung and TSMC, we're actually talking about them not even quite being on the same node. So one of them is, I believe, is 14 nanometer, while the other is 16 nanometer. But I'm doing that off the top of my head. Is that correct? I'm pretty sure it's 14, 16. I don't see it in the thing. I'll try to find it. Which actually means that TSMC's chip is slightly physically larger, even. Like, noticeably. So Apple had to do a metric crap ton of work. Now, to be clear, a smaller manufacturing process does not always mean, you know, faster transistor switching. So that's the frequency, the megahertz. It does not always mean that. It doesn't always mean less or more heat output. A perfect example of that was, oh crap, I'm drawing a complete blank. But if I recall correctly, heat output was a bit of an issue on early Ivy Bridge. But don't quote me on that. Anyway, the point is that you don't always get this. Shrinking it was good for a long time, and then it started to get to the point where shrinking it more caused higher heat density, which was harder to dissipate, because you just don't have a whole lot of area to slap a heatsink on anymore. So it's a very, very complicated equation. And at the end of the day, for whatever reason, Apple is dual sourcing their A9 processors from TSMC and from Samsung. Yes, 14 nanometer from Samsung and 16 nanometer from TSMC. And the chip gate is already on Wikipedia. That's awesome. So basically, YouTuber Austin Evans tested both and saw that TSMC's hardware was capable of a longer battery life in his test. So he was using an app called Lirum that identifies which processor a phone has, and then you pull a reference number and it tells you exactly what code corresponds to it. The app was, by the way, pulled temporarily due to compatibility issues and is being put back up. That's according to the doc. I'm not sure if it's back up yet. I also know that it was free and it showed up again as a paid app, so there's that as well. Apple actually did issue a statement. One of these days YouTubers are going to stop, you know, twisting the thumb screws on poor Apple with, you know, bend gates and chip gates. I wonder what the next gate will be. So Apple stated that certain fabricated, manufactured lab tests which run the processors with a continuous heavy workload until the battery depletes are not representative of a real world use case scenario, which on Android they wouldn't be able to say because I've certainly managed that with stupid power hogging apps. Since they spend an unrealistic amount of time at the highest CPU performance state, it is a misleading way to measure real world battery life. One thing I must say is that manufactured lab tests, if Austin or Jonathan read that and that is describing their things, good job guys. That's impressive. Apple saying that what you did was a manufactured lab test is like pretty dope, actually. But also they both did a very hardcore style. If I remember correctly, I think they both did a very hardcore style lab test style test and then also did more realistic style scenarios. To be clear, by manufactured we're meaning like synthetic, like not real world actual usage. And then they did things like, oh, I took a time lapse for a while or I like recorded a video for 10 minutes, which is not unrealistic at all. So they both did more real life stuff. Uplated the video, ran Geekbench and so at the end of that, the Samsung iPhone was reading 55% battery and the TSMC iPhone was reading 62%. So there were some variances based on what tests that they did, but like I said earlier, check out both of their videos. And the thing to understand too is that even from chip to chip from the same manufacturer off of the same freaking wafer, you can see significant variations. I mean, that's why, you know, the Core i7 5960X exists and the 5820K also exists. They're the same damn thing. They come off of the same wafer, but some are better than others and that's life. Some of them run at, I mean, Intel, for example, this happened a couple generations ago now. They stopped rating their processors at a fixed default voltage. It's a range now. So if you buy a CPU for your desktop, it could run at slightly lower or higher power consumption than the one in your phone. So that shouldn't really surprise anyone, but that hasn't kept the usual knee-jerk reaction of, you know, product recall, class action lawsuit from kind of cropping up. It's just if Apple only advertises the lower of the two, then it's more of a, yay, I got a bonus than I got ripped off by buying, you know, luck of the draw, I got the wrong one. And also, to be fair, it's fairly consistent that the TSMC chip is coming out with much better, well, not necessarily even much better, but definitely better. But better, noticeably better. Yeah, battery life, it's pretty consistent. So the binning thing might not completely apply here. It applies to everything to a certain degree. But like, I think it's beyond that by a fair amount. So, I mean, I guess with all of that said, so we got all the factual stuff out of the way, what's your take on this? I don't know. I already don't like battery life on like everything. This phone is actually a pretty good exception. I can often get a day and three quarters or maybe even two days if I really drag it out on the second day and like try not to have the screen on too much. So anything that's going to screw with my battery life on a phone that honestly doesn't have that great battery life already, I would probably be pretty pissed off. So would you return it? Bearing in mind that Apple's return policy is excellent. Would you return it and roll the dice again? Probably. I don't, like, setting up a new device does not take that long for me. Nope, it doesn't anymore. It used to. So if I had a Samsung chip, I would actually return it, yes. But would you feel like you're entitled to class action, whatever the heck, if you're a bunch of people stuck with Samsung chips now? Maybe not. Class action in what form? Like, do you think Apple owes you money? Like, do I get like 20 bucks? Yeah, that's how they usually work. If I actually thought that they had advertised it in a different way, yes. I don't know. I haven't looked at any of their advertisements. If I could test it against one of their advertisements and then be like, no, it didn't make through what you just told me it would, then sure, yes, I would feel that way because that's false advertising and that's bullshit. But if it's just not as good as the other one, then no, I would just try to roll and gamble and get it eventually. Like, I'd just return it and then if that didn't work, just return it and then whatever. I actually haven't tested my 6s yet. You should do it right now. No, you have to do a bunch of crap. I thought you just downloaded an app and checked. No, well, okay, it might be now. When I first looked, you had to download an app and you had to do a bunch of other stupid crap and register on something or whatever. I was like, nah, screw it, I don't really care that much. But what I did notice is that compared to my 6, I was like doing better at the end of the day in terms of battery life when Apple is not making any claims about the 6s having better battery life than the 6. So maybe I got a bonus. Maybe I got a TSMC chip, but I don't know. So my take on this is that A, the class action isn't going to work. It's not like this has never been done before. NVIDIA with the 960M, I want to say, was using either Maxwell or Kepler, depending on which notebook model you were buying. I'm going to double check. Oh, that's gross. I'm going to double check that. Did anything happen with the RAM thing, 3.5 gigs versus 4? No, I don't think so. See, something maybe should have happened. No, maybe it's not the 960. Maybe it's not the 960M. Honestly, I think something should have happened. Was it the 860M or something like that? 860M, Kepler versus Maxwell. Yeah, it looks like it was the 860M. Here we go. So here's notebook check. I don't know how comprehensive their benchmarks are or anything like that, but I think they've got 860M, Kepler versus Maxwell. Let's have a look here. 45.2 FPS, 49.6 FPS in Unigine Heaven. So here, Maxwell is actually significantly faster in certain workloads, slower in others. Yeah, here we go. Real-world games. So the Kepler comes out ahead. Maxwell comes out ahead. The kind of trade blows. The advantage, I guess, that NVIDIA had in that case was that you couldn't read a review of that notebook and get a different thing, because it was by model of notebook. So MSI's model XYZ might have Kepler and Asus' model ABC might have Maxwell. Whereas with the iPhone 6S, there is, and Apple must understand this, there is more to it than just the manufacturer's rated spec, be all and end all, as much as they'd love for that to be the case. There's reviewers. There's independent media out there testing these things. So if it came to light, for example, that I know Apple doesn't seed a ton of devices directly, but if it came to light that Apple went out of their way to seed a bunch of TSMC phones, then that could reflect very poorly on them. And in fact, the only way to really do damage control in that case would be, I think, for Apple to have seeded out only Samsung phones, for example. So they could kind of go, OK, whenever we had any direct influence on the review being done, we showed a worst case scenario. But if Apple collaborated with reviewers for reviews of the iPhone 6S to be done, and it is represented in a way that is not indicative of what the consumer will actually receive, then they could have a real problem on their hands. But I think it's probably going to take years for all of this to play out. And by then we'll be bored of talking about it, and people may or may not get their $20 check in the mail, and that'll basically be that. People are asking who my favorite hockey team is. Toronto Maple Leafs. Really? Just kidding, Leafs totally suck. Oh, thank God. What is it with people asking all these deep questions in Twitch chat? It's like Twitch chat has forgotten what they are. Linus, if you never got into computers, what do you think you would be doing with your life? I would probably be an elementary school teacher. Teacher because I've always liked presenting, I've always been good at taking things and turning them into something other people can understand, which is sort of what I do now. And then elementary school because I'm just not that smart. What's going on? High school, because basically to teach anyone, I feel like you have to have one or two levels higher of knowledge than you're expecting to give to them. So I'm not smart enough to teach like university or high school, but I definitely have a firm enough understanding of the next two levels up to teach elementary school. So that's probably what I would have gone with. Oh, I've got a whole lot of screw you, Linus. What do you mean screw you, Linus? Even Mike Babcock cannot make the Leafs good. I'm sorry. Even all the... What was his... Here, hold on. What was the Mike Babcock contract? Because that was like horrendous. Wasn't it like 70 million or something ridiculous like that? A 50 million dollar contract. It's like no matter how much money you spend. Honestly, I think the coach's salary in cases like this where you're doing like blockbuster coaching deals, I think it should cost against your cap hit. Because if the whole idea behind the salary cap is that you want to increase parity in the league, you don't want people running around spending 56... So what is it? Eight year deal at 6.25 million on the coach and like all this crap. Like these other staff to like make the players better. But I mean with that said, whether a salary cap has a place in professional sports is a whole other argument that I'm not getting into. I'm just saying that if you're going to have a salary cap and if you're going to play that song that's all about equality and every team having equal chance at a Stanley Cup, then it should also apply to the rest of the staff on the ice. Do you want to segue from that to more things about equality and equal chance and slamming on Nvidia a little bit more? Oh sure, yeah. To something that I don't think is in the dock but should have been. It's not? I put it on the list. Is it? How is this not in the dock? I thought I put it on the list. What the crap? Okay, well this super super pissed me off for a number of reasons. Nvidia, GeForce, Experience, GameDay, Driver. Sorry, I'll find some article and I'll bring it up for you guys. Oh look, it's Ars Technica again. These guys are awesome. I love Ars Technica. They're actually my favourite tech news site. Other than LinusTechTips.com where you can also discuss with members of the Linus Tech Tips community the Ars Technica articles that we link to. So the latest Nvidia drivers to be locked behind GeForce Experience. So it's pretty unusual for Nvidia to do a whole press briefing conference call thing about... Anything that isn't hardware. Yeah, anything that isn't hardware. The software stuff is always just attached to some launch. Yes, and they're really good at doing that. Because it gives us something to talk about when we're like, it's the GTX 950. You increased all the spec numbers. But not as high as the 960 and 970 that we already have if we're willing to shell out some more money. So it gives the press something to like an actual story to tell which is great. But they did one. And I talked to Luke and John who attended this call and the report was something along the lines of... To be fair, I figured out there was no hardware coming out and I bailed early. Oh right. Okay. And then John's report was something along the lines of this is the most boring briefing ever. And he used to work in law. So like, rip Nvidia. So basically what's happening is game ready drivers will no longer be downloadable through the Nvidia website. Which is crazy. And only like standard drivers will be available through the Nvidia website. Which I think come out once a quarter or something. Yeah, once a quarter or something like that. And then to be able to get game ready drivers you have to have GeForce experience. And sign up with your email address. Yes, email address verification required to be able to download anything. Now to be clear, it's not like you can't use a throwaway email address. It's not like you can't filter the crap out of your email so they just go into a dump folder immediately. Yes. But... It's just dirty. But why putting any impediment in the way... Of a driver. Of a driver is horrible. I mean, I don't think I've ever ripped on Adapt-Tek for this before. Adapt-Tek turns off their download driver servers outside of business hours. Yeah. So I was in the middle of the night reformatting a server. Trying to get... I got my new OS on it. I'm trying to get my array back online. And I cannot install drivers for my raid card. Are you for real? So, I mean... Any reason for, you know, downloadrepository.com. Which probably exists and maybe it's legit, but it probably isn't. Any reason for those sites to never have to exist ever again... Is a good one. Is good. Yes. Hiding your drivers behind... And even just stupid stuff like wasting my time. Why do I have to download off your site and then click update in GeForce Experience and wait for another download and another install? It's stupid. And the biggest thing is... I even like GeForce Experience. But I don't care! This is dumb! And in Nvidia... I mean there are a lot of things that you can say in Nvidia's defense. In their defense, after you install drivers for the first time, a reboot is no longer required. So, once you install within GeForce Experience... Does it have anything to do with your email? At least you don't have to restart. No, that's just crappy across the board. Yeah, like GeForce Experience is cool. I actually really like it. I was complaining about them wasting my time. Because I can give them a throwaway email. I don't care. But wasting my time, I don't like. And then, and then, and then... And then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then... And then, and then, and then, and then... Sort of another, sort of, kinda... Okay, yeah, I guess I kinda get it. Imagine this is your first time too. You just got a new graphics card. Yep. You didn't have a Nvidia graphics card before. You just want to play some games. You show up at your buddy's house. You're going to install the card and then have a little lane between the two of you. You install your card. He's already kinda playing and you're just like... Uh, come on, okay. I downloaded GeForce Experience. Okay, now I have to type in my email... Oh, what? Now I have to verify this so you have to go to your email click on the thing verify the thing okay now I can actually download the driver. Okay now. I probably have to restart. It's just obnoxious Like there's so many more so again in Nvidia's defense their older non game ready drivers from our recent Driver through the driver improvements through the ages showdown are pretty good in Nvidia's defense again their quarterly Wickel complete package drivers absolutely Crush how often AMD is doing it right now, but that leads us That no I know I completely agree the email is rubbish, and that's stupid and this shouldn't exist, but but all those other things Basically lead me to my final point if AMD was competitive this wouldn't be happening This is the kind of crap that doesn't happen if Nvidia has to kind of look at their you know Also has 40% of the market and a very competitive product And this could this could push consumers over the edge if Nvidia doesn't have to worry about AMD breathing down their neck a lot Of people kind of go you know Nvidia needs AMD to keep their prices fair You know what I think Nvidia has kind of locked into what they figure people are willing to pay for a graphics card And they're already charging as much as they feel like let's be honest This is the kind of stuff that worries me more where they feel like they've got free reign To because like straight up this is for marketing yes They've got free reign to ask for your personal information and to waste your time because what else are you gonna buy? So that's that's basically the long and short of that one. I don't like it. You shouldn't like it But I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do because I want game ready drivers So I guess I'll be downloading them through G force and like for people that already have G force cards like Yeah, oh yeah You can't really vote with your wallet at that point unless you have enough money to buy a new card already and people that Have like a 900 series card Probably not a thing because they probably just bought it All right pretty rough don't like it very annoying so let's move on to our Next thing like what you just said it's not technically the worst thing in the world. I can just filter it out, but it's scary Yep, it's just crappy anyways Tesla cars can drive themselves starting October 15th. They that's a little bit sensationalist Yeah, that is like a super Mega redonkulis least like the verge used to be cool You guys used to be cool and like now you're really not being that cool right now Tesla's cars can drive themselves in a straight line they can sort of Well a little bit more than that they can switch lanes and stuff If you turn your turn signal on then it's like okay So basically they can It's like super badass cruise control someone described it that way that's not me saying that I'm copying them I don't remember who it was, but it's basically like the sickest cruise control. Yeah, they're officially saying right now You're supposed to keep your hands on the wheel. Yeah, please do that. Let go of the wheel. Yeah, and I would highly recommend that It's auto steer it's gonna keep you in the lanes It'll check for side collisions that can turn for you if you turn the turn signal on Wait, I don't think it turns for you. I think it changes lanes for you only or sorry Yeah, it'll it'll change lanes for you if you turn your turn signal. Auto park so it'll scan for parking spots Yep, they're saying this is this is that's a beta feature by the way I love how there's beta features for a car. It's so dangerous Um, I believe this is version 7.0 something like that. Yeah, yeah, I know so 7.1 We'll make it so that it can like drive out to a garage and then come pick you up but Yeah, is that even in here? Yeah, that's in here. That's what it does. Yes Okay So 7.1 will be able to drive off to a garage and come pick you up when needed which is 7.1 And come pick you up when needed which is super sick But yeah, they're being very clear that like if problems happen. It's still totally your fault So basically it's it's kind of it's kind of coming along They're gonna be continuously uploading real-world Sensor data from the 7.0 equipped vehicles to continue to improve it So there's four sensor types on the car that they're gonna be utilizing here forward radar forward-facing camera 360 degree ultrasonic sensors and a GPS combined with their high resolution navigation maps and they're they're probably gonna be learning patterns Yes Well if this car starts driving this way, maybe I should stay away from it or whatever And it'll start learning and the whole fleet will kind of hive mind to each other and and and allow themselves to learn to drive better and so Musk Figures that are excuse me Tesla figures that the functionality will improve with each passing week even without firmware updates since the car is always Accessing and improving Tesla's high-res maps very cool. Yeah It's interesting. I watched a video and it's a little creepy because the guy goes over like a fairly substantial bump I don't know if it's like a pothole or what it is because the cameras on the inside of the car so I can't see what's on the road, right but Like the car jumps a little bit and you can tell like it went over something It wasn't the car just jumping and the cars the the wheel is like Okay, and like the car doesn't jostle around but it does just amount the correction that it probably needed to and it picks everything and the guy in the car is like Okay, it's fine It's just crazy to watch. I don't know. It was pretty cool I think it was gelopnik that I watched the video on excellent You can check that out if you want. Um, alright We've got I think we're gonna kind of bundle four news topics into one here So AMD reports their third quarter results. So the original article here was from market watch Basically, they're not good But if you look at it quarter over quarter instead of year over year Then I guess the revenue growth is nice, but they're still losing like millions and millions of dollars They're back over a billion dollars revenue, which is cool. I guess that's cool But like I could I could sell ten dollar bills for eight dollars and I could probably do a billion dollars revenue It's basically what AMD is doing Also AMD is spinning off their back-end testing and assembly operations into a joint venture for 371 million So, you know back to back to the whole back to the whole I think it was Jerry Sanders the third real men have fabs AMD now not only doesn't have fabs They don't have the assembly plant for taking the silicon and turning it into chips. They're going full fabless But the good news is that this gets rid of I think it was something like 1700 employees that are no longer on payroll. Yep, so they're Contribute the joint venture will see AMD contribute their facilities and not being fired. Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah joint joint venture with oh crap. No, I forget Fujitsu? Yeah, that's right. Yeah, so so there you go. So there's that so so more bad news for AMD and Actually some bad news for Intel they report flat revenues and lower year-over-year profits for q3 original article here is from tech report and The reason that that's bad news is because if business isn't growing that's really really really bad That's really really really really terrible because as much as they're still making You know 65% gross margin on their fourteen point six billion dollars of revenue Which I think was something along the lines of oh crap. I forget what net profit was it was in the notes Do you have it? I do not see it No, I'm not sure that net profits were still very very very good But growth is very important growth is important. It means you're innovating. It means your customers are inspired They're coming back for more just gonna say inspired and coming back for more. I'm not that surprised Yeah, I'm not surprised either which ties into the last the last. Oh apparently this link to CTV news Is dead CTV news is dead unfortunately, so there's a basically the synopsis is Intel HP PC does what campaign there we go ours technical site is working Yay ours Cringe-worthy PC does what campaign wants you to upgrade? So because Intel has been building more power efficient desktop chips and hasn't necessarily been that focused on you know dramatically improving Performance and I mean there's there's another issue is that there's not a whole lot of things that you would want to do on a PC Today that you couldn't do on a PC from three to four years ago So help make more things and I mean, it's not like they're not trying I mean there's those cameras with the depth sensor that I can't imagine what anyone but a game streamer would Exactly anything like there's there's other stuff you can do though I don't know I think the VR space is gonna be huge for people of great Yes, that will but in the meantime we have PC does what campaign? And it's Dell HP Intel Lenovo and Microsoft contributing to this with no specific like product that they're trying to sell and the idea is just to educate Apparently very mainstream users. This is a mainstream user. I think According to this campaign to educate mainstream users about what a PC does and why you might give a crap about it So there's a PC That's something someone would do that's the mile that's I hadn't actually watched it yet Yeah, most helicopter pilots probably have a laptop in their lap Wow, this is actually far worse than I thought Wow, I know it's sponsored by Lenovo in basically every single one of those situations that laptop that you're testing out would have been better Because it's more rugged Wow, that's pretty brutal So I don't know why they come to us for this We could have done so much better Yeah, the problem is we would have come up with like awesome stuff that a PC does that has zero interest It didn't have a helicopter or some dude in the dinghy in the ocean that has like But the problem is we could we'd come up with stuff that she's not interested in mind you I don't think she's interested in flying a helicopter with a computer in her lap either No one should be interested like the music they play the music in the cockpit No one would use a full laptop for that Not to mention phone not to mention that I've never encountered a laptop that you'd be able to hear over the sound of helicopter rotors Oh, you'd have a phone and then that would talk to the the helicopter which would then broadcast that to your headset That's assuming that we have helicopters with like Bluetooth dashboard stereos Oh, do they there's bad? Okay. Okay, like luxury that wasn't a luxury helicopter. That was like the Coast Guard Yeah, that's a good question Yeah, I mean we're talking a man pass the aux cable. We're talking it's like this fire We're talking as lucky if that thing flies in Canada We use boats for usually Did you say for usually because that actually would have been awesome in that case we use boats for usually We're in Canada I think I said usually oh this is this is bad Yeah, this is this is some ugly stuff so this is over on end gadget Bell as much as sometimes there are friends because my reception except here at the office where we had to get a cell booster Is good and they know it's not that amazing though Yeah, it's okay switching from I came from tell us and I've very vocally said many things about tell us Yeah, it's not like I love them, but my reception is slightly worse with Bell. It shouldn't be they share towers really Yeah, it's noticeably slightly worse and they'll shares towers with tell us in the east and tell us shares towers with Bell in the West That's really weird. Yeah, it's worse at my parents house and it's worse. Actually, that's not true It's worse in one part of my house and it's better in the other. It could be it could be your phone too Something that almost no one it's really funny someone almost no almost no one covers this in phone reviews anymore because Reception is for the most part fine But the droid turbo has terrible reception at least for me because as a Verizon phone I'm not a hundred percent sure if it supports all of Bell's bands Yeah, so so that that is that I could totally be it because like I said in part of my house for my phone straight-up Didn't work before it now works. But in the rest of my house, it's like it usually works, but it's kind of sketchy Anyway, I mostly I like to like Bell because there's certain things that they do right by me But this was not one of them So they've got a 1.2 million dollar fine on their hands from Canada's Competition Bureau after employees posted fake reviews of Bell apps on the Apple App Store and on Google Play on the Google Play Store So basically they had kind of crap ratings until some employees were according to the regulator Encouraged to post glowing testimonials of the my Bell and virgin my account apps to both the App Store and Google Play So it was exposed by Scott Stratton who was aware of the apps poor standing on iTunes and he suddenly saw the rating Skyrocket due to a series of five-star reviews and then did some digging on LinkedIn found out that the most praiseworthy mentions were directors marketing managers and other paid people by Bell Canada and This dude was angry. Yeah forced the company to admit that certain employees had been encouraged to post the ratings But as soon as bosses were made aware They ended the practice Come on That's pretty brutal Yeah, I'm happy that this dude was angry enough to figure it out And I'm glad that the sets a precedent in Canada for this thing this is the first time a company has faced significant monetary fines for biased reviews in Canada and like like Linus said what at the beginning of the show or in the Announcement I don't know what it was in but I don't even know what day it is the 1.2 5 million dollars, which is like Just under a million dollars US Which would be enough to bankrupt Linus media group and Linus forever? Yeah, but is not a drop in the bucket is not that big of a deal for Bell Yeah, so like they got their review a little bit higher and that might have even helped them maybe not to the tune of 1.0 million dollars like I think but it was a Little bit of a gamble and they lost and oh well I guess and I guess that's the kind of stakes that you play with when you're a national telecommunications company Yeah Yeah, I'm a high roller so whatevs Speaking of being a high roller or whatevs we have sponsors for the show today I'm going to tell you guys about all high rolling me so logitech Which you can check out the g6 33 at the link that I am going to provide or Luke is going to provide I am going to ride to in chat. I will do it Luke will do it you can check out the g6 33 Artemis spectrum Headset which we actually got an opportunity to check out at logitech's facility down in Washington State It was Washington or Oregon crap. I'm not good at us geography, but we went to a logitech place Luke and Brandon We were the Porter Brandon. Where was it? Port organ or I get but it was above the line wasn't it we were staying in Portland And then it was up above was it not? Because it was actually somewhere else we were staying Portland. We took a bus so it's well the Americans out there making fun of us Sorry. Oh, yeah, well in what order do the Canadian provinces that are all the same shape go across yeah, that's right But you know that yeah, they're not no no they're not exactly the same shape But I but when you were doing your test or whatever in grade four it was I had I had trouble I couldn't go because which one was shaped like this and which one was exactly flat. Yeah Mind you that shouldn't be hard the one with the flat lines is the one with the flat surface It's kind of true Okay, Nick is apparently watching WAN show instead of doing work and has told us that it was in Washington Camus! Camus! Yeah, that was the name of the place Anyway, the 633s feature 7.1 Dolby surround sound with Logitech's gaming software They've got 40 millimeter Pro G audio drivers and to be clear 40 millimeter is not the important thing the size of a driver is not Nearly as important as the tuning they're compatible with the PC as well as PlayStation 4 and Xbox one and feature Adjustable RGB lighting and custom tags and a cardioid boom mic They're also sitting right in front of the set today, which a couple of you complained about last week So we took your complaints, and we put them in a fire.

Should we do the other stuff? There's bill logs, there's also a Star Citizen call out that I would like to do Did you just do something- did we do something wrong? No no no no, Nick's like, yeah sorry I forgot my bad, please don't fire me Something along those lines, it's gonna happen though so whatever We'll have to deal with that Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh okay sorry You know what, I guess we'll have to both be fired if anyone's gonna be fired because He missed putting the starting prices in the dock And I missed telling you you can save 10% if you go to tunnelbear.com slash LTT for your plan Oh I thought you- oh So we both got wrecked I thought you did say that Get wrecked Nick We'll get wrecked together You got wrecked All night Alright um Okay we can do bill logs, bill logs, bill logs Let's do the Uber thing, that's cool The Uber thing? Yeah original article here is from TechCrunch And this is some pretty freaking Smurf stuff right here Uber takes on delivery- yeah Smurf means good, don't worry about it Um it's a family guy reference, you wouldn't understand Oh people use it for like gaming, like if you're really good and high ranked And you make a new account so you can play against crappy people they call it Smurfing I thought that was called Sandbag Smurfing Sandbagging Maybe both? I think the new kids call it Smurfing Smurf, yeah Smurf account, no I've heard that before I've heard it in that context, I haven't heard it called Smurfing But I've heard it called a Smurf account Smurf account, yeah yeah yeah Uh anyway, Uber takes on the uh the package delivery services with Uber Rush An on-demand delivery service This looks freaking awesome So basically they built an infrastructure of people driving around The whole chat's like Sandbagging Ha ha You're so old Hold on Oh you know what? No Sandbagging is deliberately underperforming- oh yeah no this is right So having an account that deliberately underperforms to gain an unfair advantage in future matches Okay kinda, yeah No the idea I think with Smurfing is just creating a new one Yes but that would represent- your record would not be representative Same kind of idea It's the same idea Sandbagging is a thing so you guys can get rekt too I think Sandbagging is more if someone has a high ranked account and then they repeatedly lose on purpose To get seeded against a more favourable- yeah that's definitely a thing Actually one of the most embarrassing examples of Sandbagging that I ever saw was the women's I think it was like a- it was women's badminton in the last Summer Olympics I wanna say 2012 throw match something along those lines Yeah here we go So this was in- oh bloody hell Can't remember Anyway the video is amazing This like professional badminton players playing on like my level Just like not even trying And the reason was that they already knew the results of another match Another couple matches and they wanted to fall in a better place in the bracket so they'd have a better chance of going through Anyway all the players ended up getting disqualified so get rekt Thank you Olympics for being on top of that But let's get back to Uber Rush So it's a pilot version of its merchant delivery service and it was launched October 14th in San Fran, New York and Chicago We still don't even have Uber in Canada thanks to the taxi mafia It's focused on local shops for the moment and utilizes vehicle and bike couriers to deliver things quickly So Uber drivers can pick up passengers and packages but can't do both at the same time So businesses basically don't have to pay Uber to sign up for Uber Rush but each delivery will cost the merchant between 5 and 7 dollars Which is not bad when you consider that it happens right away So Business Insider tried the New York City pilot and a reporter had a raincoat she forgot at a meeting And it was picked up and dropped off within 20 minutes for 11 dollars Pretty cool hey? That's not bad at all So yeah That's pretty cool That's awesome I just wish we had Uber at all Yeah even slightly would be nice This is like the shittiest news ever but basically John TotalBiscuitBane has Whoops that's the wrong thing Has released a statement on Twitter that basically says his cancer is back So I don't know if all of you are necessarily familiar with TotalBiscuit but you probably should be Yeah I know We've had him as a guest on WAN Show before where he was awesome by the way But he's awesome at a lot more things than just being a guest on WAN Show Solid dude, upstanding dude has really changed games journalism in a way that goes beyond how many subscribers he has on YouTube And the long and short of it is the average life expectancy for the condition that he's in right now is 2-3 years However that is based on that the condition that he's in is usually found in older people who are less capable of fighting it So you know he's hoping for the best and who knows what cancer treatments are going to be available in the next who knows Even 2-3 years you know hopefully he's got a fighting chance but it's back So we're talking about that not because it's tech news necessarily but just because it's a bummer Check out TotalBiscuit while you can but we are still really hoping for the best for him Also he's closing his StarCraft 2 team Axiom This was another there's a screen grab of the full announcement that I can pull up here But basically it's come to an end the Axiom website is down They hadn't been having a great run in terms of competitiveness for a variety of reasons over the last little bit anyway But in light of what's going on in John's life Yeah he's focusing more on family and medical expenses at the moment This super sucks not only do I like him as a person having him on the show and talking to him outside of the show and stuff But I literally watch everything he releases I had never talked to him before we had him on the show actually which is kind of funny I had talked to him at shows as a fan without him knowing who I was I think Right so I hadn't done that but I've actually stayed in touch with him since we had him on the show almost 2 years ago So let's move on to something else I guess Build logs? Sure let's do build logs So we actually haven't done this in a long time but on the Linus Tech Tips forum folks can create Folks can submit their build logs so logs of their build Pretty self explanatory I would recommend full screening it if you can There we go Yes allow why would I click full screen if I don't want it to allow it So basically voters can staff or community can pick ones that they like and then they can be featured on the show At least that was the theory we stopped doing it for a long time because we forgot So this one looks absolutely sick Check out that custom back plate for the graphics card Do you know what that skyline is? The skyline? Yeah I'm not sure Because I recognize like the needle on the far left Yeah I'm not sure But I don't know off the top of my head Someone's going to tell us what a bunch of idiots we are and they're going to know but I don't so Absolutely gorgeous look at that It reminds me of a SNEF It's not SNEF but it reminds me of SNEF That just looks fantastic I sure wish that this coolant made sense for anything other than glam footage of systems You know that if you turn your system off for a while it settles and then goops up right? So you have to literally run your system pretty much continuously Someone in the chat was like I don't like Luke One time he forgot who the actor who played Han Solo was I don't like Luke either Yeah and you probably don't even know that that's a somewhat roundabout Star Wars reference I know Do you? I did know Do you? You're a jerk! So this is the second one So that was what? That was voters pick? I think this is now the like mod teams pick But don't talk trash about Luke because he'll rip your arms off Just like when he loses You're referencing the wrong person? Is that the whole point? No yeah it's just a Star Wars reference Yeah okay but you're saying Luke Who is? Who is in Star Wars? Even the previous reference was not Luke It was Doctor Whatever his face is But isn't he saying that towards? Yeah he is saying that to Luke I guess What you talking about son? That's not a reference to anything Hold on a second who is that line delivered to? He doesn't like you very much is that what you're talking about? No no yeah that one's to Luke but who is Han telling that a Wookie? No it's C3PO that's right But he's talking about the Wookie No no no okay yes Han is talking to C3PO about Chewbacca The Wookie's name is Chewbacca I know you said Wookie right then! I don't know if you know these things! I knew the character in the show I didn't know the actor So here's our staff pick And I do Wow You'll see it's pretty cool I've got Wood Yes basically Check that out Check that bottom picture I'm liking it That's pretty sick That's fantastic So he took the actual front grill off of some case Nice and compact Looking pretty good I think it's cool Alright we got one more here So this is the like wild card got picked because holy crap what the hell system Alright So this is it I think this is the only photo there is A computer, an Xbox 360, a Playstation 3 and a Playstation 4 all water cooled on one loop Wow Yeah That's fantastic Yeah Well I mean you'd only really use one of them but Yeah but I mean having those there for like Look at how inferior these ones look Museum archival purposes You know what my favorite part is too is all the PC components like color match the board and stuff And then it's like oh green grossness Yeah here's some ugly PCBs I ripped out of some like turd boxes or whatever Okay to be fair we have actually said that the Playstation 4 was not terrible at launch And if you want to play exclusive titles At launch and now you can like kick its ass Like all this Crafty Art Wars stuff that went down Oh yeah I know When you guys see the new one Yeah it's gonna be awesome It's even like yeah I don't know the result is very cool Alright so the SCARP raised 4 million dollars Before having its funding suspended For not having a working prototype And oh man did they ever try to sell people on the idea that the footage they were showing was somehow a working prototype It was not It was not even remotely a working prototype It was not I am frankly a little disappointed that we talked about this thing See this is why every time we get burned on this crap I'm like you know what we should just not cover Kickstarter stuff anymore You know what we should just stop covering Kickstarter stuff But then we get to cover this part of it And then there's like some cool thing So every single thing that we cover in Kickstarter is two topics We put it that way We're getting great mileage out of these topics We are yeah they're amazing We already know everything about it next time we have to cover it I think we should only cover Kickstarter stuff Then we only have to prep a show twice a month So more than 20,000 people had backed the project There's a great Reddit thread that you guys should read through about all the reasons why what they were doing probably doesn't or perhaps could work The people digging into the alleged credibility of the people involved versus what they were saying their credibility was People picking apart some of the footage and why it may or may not have had a filter over the lens or whatever else So basically SuperSketch It's back up on Indiegogo So there's that Yep And has raised 300,000 US dollars Already Already again So yep there you go The campaign will receive all funds even if it doesn't reach its goal So apparently the if this is a scam Then they've they've set their sights a little lower But they'll take the 300 grand If it's not a scam then I do sincerely hope that it's I'm glad our logo is not there I do sincerely hope that it ends up being being real I really want it to be real I super do They have not put any acknowledgement Have you seen this video Yeah This crap video Yeah it's it's brutal They're like Oh my god It's like they'd like Get someone else to hold the camera They used a Dremel to like Yeah Cut out a thing on their prototype and then they put like a filament in here That could be anything They don't show us the power source so it could be a AAA battery it could be a nuclear generator Yep It's just the worst shot video like ever Why is it so green That's a lens filter to help you see something and something and something Anyway There's there's no audio if I remember correctly The video on YouTube has ratings disabled and comments disabled Yep So something something etc Yeah they haven't said anything about being kicked off of Kickstarter Which is really interesting Yeah Very very interesting Ah Well we'll see how that turns out Someone someone just said Scrap Heard Wars 3 should be 4 because 3 is already coming out But Scrap Heard Wars 3 make a laser razor Oh man that's awesome Alright so SuperMHL is on its way with support for 8k video So someone heard Linus complaining about how the heck you deliver 8k video And delivered SuperMHL Yes they're like wow let's develop all of this in less than a week Yep So move over standard mobile high definition link SuperMHL is on its way and it's bringing better video quality and support than ever before According to the sub headline on CNET So the skinny is this support for 8k 120 fps Oh Allows you to stream up to 8k AV content from a mobile device to a TV or other display and supports up to 48 bit color Totally unnecessary by the way And launches CES 2015 so they actually went back in time Did all the work that I asked for And That doesn't sound too complicated And someone sent me the link just in time for it to be after I complained that it didn't exist yet I really like the way that all of that timing has worked out So wait Yeah This is just kind of funny Wired reports that Leonardo DiCaprio has snapped up film rights This is cool To the proposed book that is not written about the VW emissions scandal So yeah So they've teamed up with Paramount to buy the rights Good It will apparently be called Too Big To Fail And it will be something about the impact on the automotive industry Of the race to more specs and more better faster and all that kind of stuff He's also actually recently signed a multi-year deal with Netflix to produce environmental films Cool Good There you go Do good things DiCaprio Way to go Leo Yay I don't know that you're actually a super nice dude but at least you're doing this Yes This is cool I actually submitted a review unit request Got my ass handed to me They're like yep so we've chosen I got a form letter back They're just like so we've chosen some key blah blah etc So you're not getting one But hey we'll let you know if there's more later And also you can have a discount on buying one Which I'm not doing because I think it's going to be a piece of crap But this is the Lite L16 camera And apparently challenges DSLRs with 16 lenses in one package So the idea, yes right there You are looking at a camera that will record the image 16 different ways Allowing you to make changes to the image in terms of focus In terms of a bunch of other stuff after the fact Hold on a second John's trying to leave the office Hold on Can you put the sponsor spots in the scripts and save them as.txt One Thanks Wasn't that already a technology Are they claiming that they invented this Are they claiming they invented this I don't think so Okay cool Two That just sounds like a terrible idea Yeah I mean I think the DSLR traditionalists are going to probably look at this and go Or you could take one photo with a big sensor and a nice lens in front of it properly The first time And then Taron's going to be like Fix it in post This is the greatest camera that's ever existed Because I can fix it in post even better So it will have a touch screen display on the back It will cost about $1300 on pre-order And when it starts shipping in the summer of 2016 It will cost $1700 That's assuming it works at all And yeah I guess I'm not really sure what else to say about that It's about the size of an X6 so it's not huge which is cool The UOLTT or the originally unofficial that's what UO came from Linus Tech Tips starts as a conglomerate Is going to be having a tournament thingy There's going to be giveaways based on your performance in the tournament The first giveaway is a $25 gift card, the second place is a $10 gift card And the third place is a $5 item from the pledge store Even if you show up it's just supposed to kind of be fun So don't worry if you're not very good at shooting and blowing stuff up like me I'm usually good at flying spaceships and spaceship games And I'm really bad at it in Star Citizen so oh well Yeah there's a thread on the forum You should go there just look up Operation Brawl Star Citizen giveaway And you will find it It's from Napper198 Go check it out, go join, it should be fun Yeah Wow we've got a whole bunch of stuff Apple updated their iMac peripherals So now there's the Magic Mouse 2 Which features a charging port on the bottom for some reason Original article here is from Anon Tech So there you go There's also a new Magic Trackpad 2 So Everyone just freaked out about the mouse And Magic Keyboard updated version How bad do you think the mouse is? Because some people are just like atomic over the mouse having the charging thingy on the bottom I think it's super stupid Where would you rather it went? Just the very front? I liked their AA battery approach before The great thing about a mouse that just takes AA batteries is that it will work forever Because you can keep putting new AA batteries in it And if you're out of battery That doesn't sound like a very Apple approach And if you're out of battery, hold on If you're out of battery You don't have to sit on ass waiting for it to charge You can throw in some disposables if you're in a pinch Like we use 98% rechargeable batteries at Linus Media Group But that doesn't mean that we don't have a bin of disposables just in case we're desperate And the other issue here is that Many mice with internal batteries That, with internal batteries So you can't just swap the battery pack Have charging connector positions Such that you can plug them in and use them On the front, so it just looks like a wired mouse Which is like what everyone has always done forever With that said, it charges for 9 hours of use in about 2 minutes I think people's freak out was a little bit much and that's exactly why But it's still really stupid And it's another example of Apple just going No, well, design is everything So we're going to put the important things on the bottom Maybe next they'll put the click on the bottom because it looks better Without... Actually they already kind of did that When they removed the separated plastic buttons and just had the click be part of it There you go The Magic Trackpad has a built-in battery Brings force touch to the desktop which is very cool It's 30% larger almost than the previous Trackpad And pairs automatically with your Mac And the Magic Keyboard is rechargeable battery again It's lightning to USB, pairs automatically and Better scissor mechanism under each key, increased stability, etc. etc. So there you go, some updates, some of which are dumb, some of which are good And some of which are just really not very important at all What else we got here? I think that might be about it The iPhone 6s camera shows literally No or little improvement over the iPhone 6 So yeah, it's fine But so is the G4, this is from dxomark.com So is the LG G4, so is the Samsung Galaxy S6 There's a lot of great smartphone cameras out there It's really nice that you don't have to buy an iPhone anymore And that cell phone cameras have kind of gotten as good as they need to be for a bit Even Apple agrees, they didn't make it better With that said, the 6s improves in a lot of other ways over the 6 My review of that is up on Vessel and will be coming to YouTube soon Let me talk about Humble Bundle The reason why I brought that up Is because we used to call out what the Humble Bundle was every week Do you remember that? Yeah, back when it was cool and sexy And that is the whole point of this topic Is that Humble Bundle has let go of 20% of their staff This is off Destructoid.com Which is 12 people, the CEO admits that It was a little bit of an overly eager expansion Which is probably completely true And this is largely to do, this part isn't in the notes But this is largely to do with, well, back in the day We used to call out every one of their bundles because they were sick And they're really not that sick anymore At the very beginning, which you would expect a company to grow At the very beginning they were selling a lot of Humble Bundles I think it was like 500, 600,000 for the first sale And then it went from 100,000 to 200,000 for sale Which is a huge difference, and your company is as big as he made it For... I don't actually know, I'm not in the company But from as far as I can tell the small amount of things that they do Yeah, well they do book bundles, they do game store They have a game store and now a subscription service And I mean, it's not like their competitors have stood still It's not like people... There's a lot of bundle companies now That's like Groupon, remember when Groupon went super amazing Everyone thinks it's important, and then there's like A billion clone group deal Go to a restaurant for less than... Because they realize how actually Again, I'm not in the industry so I don't know, but how easy it probably is A lot of these indie guys are going to want to be on these bundles So if you're like, hey, bundle, they'll be like, okay, yes, please Yeah, I don't know There was one other thing I don't know, do we want to do more bad news for AMD? Or should we just go easy on them? Sure, corporate fellow Phil Rogers has left the company After 21 years, so our original Our original article here is from HardOCP So corporate fellow, to be clear Is the highest level of technical recognition at AMD And is reserved for those who impact AMD's business opportunities And technical breadth by providing a high degree Of expertise, knowledge, creativity, and tactical and strategic direction He has gone to Nvidia And he is now their chief software architect for Compute Server That's a little brutal I don't know, I think that's probably it I think I just banned like 20 people Oh my goodness, I feel terrible I had promised we were going to do the after party With the honorable mentions for the Ultra Wide Festival today And I am not, because I need to shoot three fast as possible right now And I am already like, tired And it's already after 6, and I have to go somewhere after this So I will do it, but it will not be this week Of your mom? So next week, same bat time, same bat channel Bye, get banned Are they doing that gist thing? Someone is doing a gist thing Someone is posting speedtest.net Speed was already down I don't remember, there was something about speedtest Music
