 And I think we're live welcome friends to the WAN show I've got an unfortunate I think this might be the least sexy co-host that I've ever had but he's all like cool and helmeted and stuff so I thought you know what the hey I'll let Darth generic stormtrooper or whatever you know what let's just assume this is this is Finn and not just any stormtrooper so there you go fin will be co-hosting the the show with me today I had to ditch the waifu and the fact that Luke is not here is a hint at some insight into one of the topics for today so our main topics are IBM putting a quantum processor in the cloud that is the figurative cloud they did not put a quantum processor in a cloud which would be cool to arguably lift is planning to pick you up in a self driving electric car within a year not you specifically but someone what else we got here Oh China bands erotic banana eating live streams which I think basically means that the WAN show wouldn't be allowed to be brought broadcast in China well I suppose ah okay ice sorry bye ice and Nvidia's paske pascal gaming GPUs are rumored to be announced today at 6 p.m. so that would be where Luke is yes friends we are going to have a pretty good show today but first the intro with no technical difficulties whatsoever Linda.com it's like all the og sponsors today let's see who was first I think oh I might have even done them in order I'm actually not sure all right guys so welcome to the show I think what we're gonna do first I've actually invited just anyone who wants to accept that guy Mark not invited not invited to join me on the show you guys are gonna meet mark pretty soon we've got a video coming where I do some cabling upgrades in my house and I have a real live contractor who knows how to use tools come and help me with it by which I mean I hired him to do it for me and then I pretended I knew what I was talking about and I just repeated what he told me off-camera to anyway the point is I you'll meet me him soon enough he's getting enough screen time for now I think he's just coming to take take my money for for that job that he did but I've invited anyone from LMG to come on to the show so if you guys have any special requests you can let me know in the twitch chat where I will promptly ignore it because quite frankly the twitch chat is pretty pretty hard for me to monitor at this point it moves so fast these days so let's start with our first topic here this was posted by Blizzard angle on the forum and the original source here is from research.ibm.com IBM announced on May the 4th that is to say Star Wars Day that they're making a superconducting quantum processor available over the internet and my friends does it really get much cooler than that I don't think it does the point of the actually hold on first but first oh I've been waiting for an opportunity to to do this for a while but first don't let me explain quantum computing to you let's have my prime minister explain quantum computing to you guys here hold on let me just go back to the timestamp here so Justin Trudeau this was we actually talked about this on the WEN show a while back this is this is old news but for those of you who aren't familiar with quantum computing here we go but most of you normal computers work either there's power going through a wire or not it's one I realized just now I can't hear him so I'm gonna have to just kind of guess at when he's done so or a zero they're binary systems what quantum states allow for is much more complex information to be encoded into a single bit regular computer bit is either a one or zero on or off quantum state can be much more complex than that because we have more complex than that particle and wave at the same times and the uncertainty around quantum states allows us to encode more information into a much smaller computer so that's what's exciting about quantum computing so that's if my scene would change that's quantum computing in a nutshell that's why we care very cool stuff especially for you know complex modeling types of equations like they're not going to solve 2 plus 2 equals 4 faster but if you're looking at modeling a weather system for example quantum computing is going to be the cats PJ's so what they're what they're providing here is five qubits with the goal today being to get people to start thinking quantum to start thinking about how a quantum computer works because sure you can create all the hardware in the world that you want you can say okay we're going to build you know like your Intel or AMD AMD did it first with the dual core processors where we're going to build this dual core afl on 64 X 2 and then it landed on the scene and no one was ready for it no one was ready for I mean at that time you know we're talking about consumer grade applications no one was ready for a consumer grade application to have more than two processing cores to to use power from so many of the early reviews of a phone 64 X 2's especially because benchmarking was limited to single threaded benchmarks in most of the case in those days many of the early reviews said yeah like it's cool but it's really expensive and the performance benefit doesn't necessarily justify it but the problem the problem that I've always had with the way that benchmarking is done and I don't have a solution unfortunately is that it's done in a vacuum it's done scientifically it's not done on a dirty operating system that has you know McAfee and Norton running in the background you know the kind of thing where you'd roll into grandma's house to be like crying out loud grandma can you stop installing this stuff please where a dual core even then would have made a huge like enormous difference so here we're talking about that at a much earlier stage in the game where not just consumers because quantum computers are years and years and years and years away from being used by consumers but even like even researchers have to start thinking about completely different ways to approach their programs in order for a quantum processor to even perform optimally and we're not even talking optimally yet we're talking about to have any advantage over a classical processor so moving from single to dual core was enough of a paradigm shift that it's taken oh I don't know 10 years to catch up quantum whole other can of beans so here I'm just gonna pop up the original article here from from IBM's website so here's where they're kind of talking about it here's where you can sort of learn about stuff careers they just they want people thinking about this they want people practicing they want people learning the portal is called the IBM quantum experience it includes tutorials and a visual programming interface users can learn about algorithms and perform real quantum operations on the five qubit chip the chip is housed at IBM's Watson facility and IBM's aim is to have the chip available 24-7 so it's part of a family of superconducting quantum processors that have their qubits arranged in lattices instead of a line which means absolutely nothing to me I'm sorry but that is a little bit that is a little bit over my head but in a nutshell this offers better connectivity between qubits for error correction so instead of having to go if you need to talk between this one and this one instead of going through everyone if they're connected and more like that like a web so Jay Gambetta manager of the theory of quantum computing and information group at IBM has says access to the chip will be free but not frictionless we don't want a billion bots launching things and stopping real people from wanting to use it I mean I don't know anyone who would want to do something like that but you know so the group is developing a system that will assign coins to different types of users to grant access pretty freaking cool but actually in terms of what will change your life in the next year in a more sort of dramatic fashion this next bit of news is is cooler from from like my perspective like how does this help me so the original article here is from gelopnik.com go ahead and pull this up but the plan is to have Lyft be able to pick you up in a self-driving car within a year and as always the headline is a little bit sensationalist we actually don't have a ton of information in terms of what the rollouts gonna look like but what we do know is that GM and Lyft are collaboratively testing a fleet of self-driving Chevy Bolt electric taxis and will be doing so within a year so General Motors invested 500 million into Lyft earlier this year and this program will rely on technology being acquired as part of GM separate 1 billion dollar planned purchase of cruise automation Inc many details still to be worked out according to a Lyft executive and will include customers in a yet to be disclosed city so no unfortunately Lyft isn't just like suddenly going hey bye bye drivers and yeah it was great how you drove those cars for us thank you very much and you know wholesale replacing every single car that they have on the road that is not how it's going down it's going to be a pilot program that they're going to be testing presumably in a city that will give them a permit to do this I mean if I had to guess I would say something like San Francisco because that's where all of this crap happens you know where you could get I think the first grocery delivery service was was introduced there if I recall correctly oh please don't quote me on this one but I think Amazon Prime rolled out in San Francisco first I'm sure twitch chat is gonna correct me if I'm wrong but it feels like they get all the cool pilot programs whereas Vancouver still doesn't have uber or Lyft at all because of the taxi cab mafia thanks for that you guys so for more details on the bolt in case you guys are curious about it we actually did a video from the New York Auto Show 2016 New York Auto Show a couple of months back but in a nutshell it'll be priced as low as $30,000 after US federal tax credits it was coming in late 2016 it actually looks pretty cool and it's estimated to have more than 200 miles of range so that would be what one like it's like 1.4 or something so like almost 300 kilometers don't quote me on that either so more than 200 miles of range it'll fully charge in nine hours with their 240 volt charger and the battery is located under the cabin floor a lot of a lot of automakers were showing off their new different innovative ways to store the batteries in these cars that would help lower the center of gravity and improve fuel economy so getting it getting it lower or positioning it closer to the middle of the car I believe it was crap who was this Volvo yes Volvo had a car that they were showing that had the battery actually positioned kind of in this in the center console what would normally be dead space pretty freaking exciting I mean I'm still kind of skeptical like I I don't like as much as it cool as it is as you know that in one city and one pilot program some lift cars which by the way you will be able to opt in or out of you can say hey no I want a driver behind the wheel or hey no it's cool like as interesting as it is as some that some of the fleet of one city probably one will will have these driverless cars I think we're still a long way away from that being rolled out more widely in more cities and even further away from that being something that's feasible for a person to actually buy or a person to even be allowed to buy because not only would these electric cars have to be validated for a specific city where you you know they're gonna have to be like obsessively updating the maps for example but they would have to be suitable for driving from a city to another city and in between and not screwing up so I don't know man I've seen some pretty impressive cameras on cars but I haven't seen any as good as my eyes yet which is one thing that worries me a little with that said my eyes don't have radar so there's there's plenty of advantages to the computer as well maybe I'm just being an old person who you know is afraid of technology that's a possibility ah shoot I had wanted to see if you guys were gonna correct me on the whole San Fran getting all the all the legit all the legit demos here but no I just see a bunch of comments like don't quote him on anything it's like why does anyone even why does anyone even watch this show and what's with all the numbers like what are you people even doing people are just posting a bunch of numbers is it like how old I'm supposed to be I see numbers like 98 which I am which I am NOT which I am NOT that not that old all right let's move into our next topic here oh this okay now there's been a lot of upset and justifiably so from the enthusiast community as well as just general consumers about Microsoft getting more and more aggressive about their push for Windows 7 Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users to upgrade to Windows 10 it went from being something that you basically had to force manually with like I forget if it was like registry edits or like command line nonsense but but I but I've done it to something that was pretty easy to access it was just kind of always there in the bottom to something that just installed itself as a normal Windows update without you really asking for it and now the free upgrade from Windows 7 and up is going away it is official July 29th is the last day for your Windows 10 free upgrade which means sometime in the next couple of months here we're going to have to run around the office and find out if there's any machines on shelves anywhere that still are running Windows Windows 7 or Windows 8 and make sure that we get those upgrades processed because starting on July 30th you're going to have to pay a hundred and nineteen US dollars for Windows 10 they're going to start asking you to pay for it which raises the question by then will they have fixed the fundamental problems with Windows 10 like the start menu not working and the search not working oh man I posted this was a post I made on Twitter a while ago where I searched for I forget what it was I think it was like internet or like Microsoft or something it was like it was like Microsoft's own stuff and as I typed the suggestions got just completely changed completely changed even though the things I was typing in could have easily corresponded to any of the things that it suggested it was just it was just bizarro land the kinds of results I was getting and it still does that you know if you type inter and let's say you have you know some old interplay game on your computer I don't know if they made PC games not the point or you have internet explorer and you when you put an IN it might bring up one of them and you put in the T it might bring up only the other ones like what are you even doing so maybe July 29th is the last day that I'll have to deal with clicking the start menu and having it like pitch for three seconds before it actually before it actually starts up so the original poster of that topic on the forum was good bites and the original article here is from the windows.com blog windows 10 now on 300 million active devices free upgrade offer to end soon because there is some some other news to go along with this here ah let's see we're seeing people at homes at schools at small businesses and at large companies and other organizations adopt windows 10 faster than ever and use windows 10 more than ever before which is a funny statement because how could you not use windows 10 more than ever before it didn't even exist sometimes I wish this is more like a radio show where I had like sound effects on like a soundboard that I could play could be like cricket sound yeah oh cool ok I don't have a close-up camera it's ok you guys can kind of see this from here so we actually just got hey hey Jakey how much was that FLIR sample they sent us no no the other one yeah ok so it is it pronounced FLIR FLIR ok whatever the thermal camera guys FLIR so Jake our part-time intern guy it's ok I don't need it it's fine he's not actually an intern he's our part-time guy is a student anyway he has been working on organizing the warehouse and more recently working on some cool concepts for new content so he's like hey you guys have never done anything with thermal cameras before and I kind of went uh-huh he's like we should do that I'm like ok get on it man come on let's go so he reached out to have no FLIR thank you reached out to FLIR and got samples of their iPhone thermal camera so we're sorry their mobile thermal cameras one for iPhone one for Android so you can see this is this is a shot of is this your laptop this is a shot of Nick's Nick's laptop his work laptop that shows exactly how hot the various parts of it are running and FLIR actually agreed temporarily they're not letting us keep this one so those are a few hundred bucks a pop and we can use them in things like case reviews laptop reviews all kinds of cool stuff but they actually sent us for comparison sake their seven thousand dollar professional grade one so Jake's actually going to be working on like an overall video talking about their thermal camera sort of ecosystem and what these things are used for and like trying them out and it should be actually a pretty cool pretty cool little piece of content I'm pretty excited about it and so is he because he's spending all of his time today with it instead of actually doing all the crappy needs to do thanks Jake anyway back to the back to the windows 10 not being free anymore so some more examples of Microsoft's off now I'm just bugging you some more examples of Microsoft's awesome stats on Windows 10 that aren't necessarily that meaningful over 63 billion minutes were spent in Microsoft edge in March alone I mean were they loading pages in edge did they accidentally leave it running in the background while they used a real web browser I don't know there's 50% growth in minutes since the last quarter Cortana has helped answer over 6 billion questions since launch 9 billion hours of gameplay on Windows 10 since launch apps that come with Windows 10 including photos groove music and movies and TV are seeing millions of active users each month yeah that's because people accidentally click on them okay this actually leads me pretty well into a into a Windows 10 ran here let's go ahead and screen share of me all right so okay let's open this so this is gonna open in that stupid worthless photos app yeah I'm just gonna move myself out of here did that work hold on there we go all right so this is me creating a WAN show thumbnail so scroll wheel doesn't zoom why would scroll wheel not zoom why would that be okay back button and forward button does not go to the previous and the next and the next picture who thought that that was an improvement who I want to name I want a name for the person who thought that the back button and forward button on the mouse which has existed for 10 years or something like that for who thought that that should do nothing in the photos app because they're dumb and that's dumb it's unbelievably bad design for that to do a completely different thing in the photos app than it does anywhere else on your computer unreal while I'm at it you know what you know what while I'm at it I got I got another Windows 10 ramp for you guys okay this is this is one oh man this one just this one just grinds my gears so let's say for example I search for all right yeah here let's just do a search I'm gonna try not to I'm gonna try not to like break anything here all right so I gotta get rid of myself again here okay so I'm gonna search search for terrible okay let's search for terrible and searches like by and large pretty function seems to be trying to function right now by and by and large I have I don't have too many complaints about the Windows Explorer search I mean especially given this is an SSD we're talking about I don't necessarily think this should be taking as long as it is but okay this is this is taking a while that was not my intent okay let's just interrupt that let's search for terrible all right working on it jeez I mean they're making it too easy for me right now like this is a solid-state drive I don't even have that much stuff on here I mean what could possibly have a perfect a perfect match for for terrible there we go there we go terrible selfie all right there it is okay so this particularly bothered me the other day when I was searching for a folder name and it brought up it brought up like folder under folders it brought up things that weren't folders and I was like oh that's that's awful okay so shoot this demo isn't gonna work because I didn't bring up I didn't actually search for a folder okay okay okay hold on I will get this right I will get this right okay there we go so let's let's search for let's search there let's search for help help help that's what I need I need help okay here we go so if I open up this and I go back I would expect that to take me to my search results that is an expected behavior if I open up this folder and I go up folder why would that take me to search results so I go back that takes me back why would that take me to search results I said up directory not so it takes I think it takes me to a search for help in a higher directory or some stupid thing like that it's unbelievable how non functional the up directory thing so if you find like a folder within a folder somewhere on your computer you actually have to right-click open folder location and then you can do it why would I open a folder and then want to navigate back to my search result if I want to do that I'd say back not up directory they are distinctly different functions and they should be treated as such so there those those are my rants a search result is not a directory and whatever the last thing I said was that made me really mad apparently Taryn just showed up on stream I didn't even notice him I was busy being angry about Windows 10 and and I got distracted all right well anyway I guess this is a this is a very directly related news story originally the original article is from the verge.com Microsoft is removing the nagging Windows 10 upgrade notifications soon and by soon I think they mean July 29th yes so there you go so basically they're gonna end the annoying prompt to upgrade when it is no longer an option to upgrade I think we could have probably figured that out on our own but thank you the verge for that little article thank you that was much appreciated 39 comments on that article that's good okay so speaking of comments I'm sure you guys are gonna have a lot of comments on this next one the original article here is from the BBC.com actually I think technically it's BBC.com not the BBC.com I take no responsibility if the BBC.com is like the bare butt club.com or something like that and I can't prevent you from going there but I also won't recommend it so China bans erotic banana eating live streams the Chinese authorities do not want suggestive banana eating to be featured online now I remember the outrage slash relief when twitch got hold on a second why am I streaming at 720 60 FPS I changed it before the stream to 10 whatever nothing I can do about that now anyway I remember the outrage slash relief when twitch banned I think it was cleavage cleavage and I think bear shirts anyway they they they tightened up their their sort of what constitutes nudity guidelines but this this raises a lot of questions I mean how do you how do you determine the difference between erotically eating a banana and eating a banana does the rule apply to eating I don't know say a raw potato like if I were to you know seductively you know chew on this phone like is that is that not okay in China I have no idea apparently just shirtless is banned so cleavage is still okay I don't know I'm actually I'm not sure what the rules are on twitch I just keep all my clothes on and we don't have any problems I don't have them my old like partner partner manager contact is apparently like a VP now so either I would get away with it or he'd come down on me super hard and be like yo dude you don't even stream games on your account like what the hell I have stuck my neck out for you enough times just get off my site once and for all so anyway these new regulations and this is this is crazy because you think about like how huge streaming is especially becoming in China live streaming sites have to monitor their output around the clock keeping an eye out for any erotic banana eating all right what are you oh man that video again we're streaming live on twitch.tv and it's too late to add this to that video so I have no idea what this clip is for I see how this is all right so those of you who didn't watch it I actually thought it was pretty entertaining Ed and I did a vlog when we were on our when we were on our trip to San Francisco a little while ago where we were basically just like selfie camera-ing periodically throughout the whole trip so you guys get I think a pretty good feel for what what attending one of these conventions with us is pretty much like I thought it was actually a really neat way for us to do it so every sort of you know every half an hour to couple hours or so it's like whip out the selfie cam hey what are we doing like here we are we're at a dance party where no one's dancing we're interviewing flowrider we're doing this we're doing that so I thought it was actually a pretty cool way to to do it you should check it out we actually kind of stomped on that video release because it was sort of an experimental format we didn't want to position it as like a full daily release so we released another video like two hours later but you should go back and check it out it's the selfie vlog with Linus and I don't remember what we called it anyway so back to back to China banning erotic banana live streams the paper adds so this article adds that wearing stockings and suspenders while hosting a live stream is also now forbidden so this is the authorities latest attempt to clamp down on inappropriate and erotic online content I got to tell you if eating a banana qualifies as erotic content in China I'm glad I don't live in China so in April the Ministry of Culture announced that it was investigating a number of popular live streaming platforms for allegedly hosting pornographic or violent content that harms social morality and despite these governmental concerns such sites are attracting more and more users in China new Express daily sites data showing that 26% of live streaming viewers are under 18 60% of those creating the content are under 22 and three-quarters those watching our mail surprise surprise news of the banana ban has prompted thousands to chime in on Chinese social media one person asks how do they decide what's provocative when eating banana okay I also asked that and another asks our mail live streamers still allowed to eat them which is a great question because it I don't think there's any way to answer that question without upsetting LGBTQ activists or feminist activists and I'm not even saying they're unjustified in that way like because if they're not allowed then you're saying what you know homosexuality is wrong and if they are allowed then you're saying it's a double standard can't win China sorry China you can't win I mean you can win just by like being more oppressive I guess and there's that whole gamifying gamifying your you know being a good citizen thing that's coming and it's super scary maybe you'll win after all all right speaking of winning Luke drew the I don't know is it a short straw or a long straw he definitely drew a straw and he is in Texas right now attending an Nvidia event that is rumored I don't know is it still a rumor at this point surely it must be basically established so there's the order of ten countdown doodad we got going on here that there was much much speculation about yeah there we go so it has a link to the Nvidia special event now so we actually got one of these order of ten packages but it's funny it's really funny I've been really busy lately so where other publications went and like solved all these puzzles and like posted the results and I'm like yeah we think it's Nvidia we think it uses the Nvidia font and like 10 is probably like g-force 10 series and like they did all this stuff and I was like yeah I'm really busy I this doesn't have a return address and I put it back on the shelf and completely forgot about it so anyway that's happening tonight I think they're just saying special event yeah tune in to watch the live stream of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Nick just took my co-host Jensen Huang as he shares the very latest about the future of gaming so Luke is at an Nvidia event he is going to presumably be attending that well that's I'm sure this would not be allowed in China I was looking around to see if anyone in the office had a banana yeah I actually had meant to bring a banana into the office today but so that I could eat it provocatively on Wanshow but you know what the worst thing about that is is I've done it on Wanshow before so it wouldn't even be I wouldn't even be breaking new ground yeah oh have I done it on YouTube too on what on what oh yeah oh yeah Josh Josh from fractal had me had me eat a banana provocatively I remember that too vaguely I was kind of intoxicated by his manliness at the time see now Nick broke my thing and it's not standing up and he's sitting up anymore dang it Nick there we go all right I have my co-host back um so we don't really know much other than that they're gonna reveal a bunch of stuff though WCCF tech has posted that the cooler shrouds are confirmed so they're gonna have this new kind of angular design it's cool that they're gonna be doing the stream on twitch that's neat when they did the 980 launch I don't remember what they were streaming on but it wasn't twitch and I was like oh I wonder why it's not on twitch so now it is I mean it seems like pretty a pretty relevant platform for gamers I guess that's that's it that's all I can really say other than that Jonathan 13 was the original poster for that over on the forum all right it's gonna take a quick beverage break here and a quick sponsor break so we have a bunch of og sponsors on the land show today for our regular viewers you guys are gonna know who they are but maybe you've never tried them before starting with Dollar Shave Club dollar shave club com delivers amazing razors right to your door for a third of the price of what the it's really funny there their advertising copy says greedy razor companies but why don't I say traditional razor companies traditional in the sense that they have higher prices and that the blades are locked behind a padlock in stores because people steal them because they're expensive joining dollar shave club comm means you can afford to shave with a fresh blade anytime you want which is fantastic because they send fresh shaving supplies directly to your door once a month and for the smoothest shave ever they've got other shaving accessories as well they've got their dr. charvers dr. charvers dr. carver's shave butter they've got their their dollar shave club aftershave they've got their peppermint scented butt wipes for men their one wipe Charlie's which actually are not for shaving your face but I feel obligated to bring up that does a peppermint scented butt wipes for men women could use them too that's what I feel obligated to bring up dollar shave clubs razors even though they don't necessarily come in you know pink sparkle color or whatever are equally effective on men and women in fact one of the biggest comments that we ever got on these dollar shave club spots was when we first kind of thought of it and we were like we're always pitching this like for dudes get a subscription for your lady not because not because like not to send a message to be very clear this is not about sending a message if she shaves already and she is spending too much on shaving supplies what a cool gift for just a few bucks a month she can have fresh blades which when you're doing that amount of area like legs and armpits and all that stuff that they shave that is like oh I'm glad I don't have to do that at all which is great you can dull a razor pretty freaking quickly so it's available in the US Canada and Australia and all you got to do is go to dollarshaveclub.com slash Linus to join the club speaking of joining the club you should join the club of people who use Squarespace like us on our LinusMediaGroup.com website as well as I know there are multiple

is that like a like a ginger like persecutor or like a powerful ginger actually not sure I'm hoping for the second one series creators say they've made something better that will take care of everything for you don't don't I already hate the way it's being marketed five the global brain that is terrifying they should just call it sky I'm actually like would yeah I guess it would be trademarked I guess it or a copyright yeah it would be copyright I guess so you actually couldn't call your AI Skynet but if someone could I'm sure they I'm sure they would in spite of the fact that it's really not not that funny so here's the quote it's the global brain Viv or Vi I'm just guessing radically simplifies the world by providing an intelligent interface to everything it's been in the works for approximately four years and is planned as an open system like Siri was prior to being purchased by Apple in 2010 so an example of how it works would be a group of engineers sat down to order a pizza in entirely new way get me a pizza from Pisa Chicago near my office one of the engineers says into a smartphone a text from Viv might pop up saying would you like toppings with that so the eight engineers all jump in pepperoni half cheese Caesar salad emboldened by the result wow this is hilarious they peppered Viv with more commands add more toppings remove toppings change medium to large 40 minutes later the driver shows up with four made to order pizzas Viv had confused the office address but they addressed the issue so the engineers had managed to order a pizza start to finish without placing a phone call using Google search or opening an app many in Silicon Valley believe this could be the next step in computing and commerce so wow that is pretty freaking cool so one of the founders basically said the idea is taking the way that humans have naturally interacted with each other for thousands of years and applying that to a way that they can interact with services I'm excited I mean it's one of those things where I am sort of excited actually would be it would be a better way of would be a better way of saying that because this is always being claimed like when Apple launched Siri it's like oh Siri will make interacting with your phone so I almost never use Siri I like Siri for certain things like hey Siri play some music oh I don't have Apple music so okay whatever our for navigation sometimes it's great but I remember 201 201 62 no no it wasn't to know it was a different address it was the street of a different okay 70 a Avenue Siri can't do it neither can Google now for that matter they just they just can't 70 a Avenue is in is impossible it comes up as 70 17 or it comes up as 70 something anyway it actually cannot do it and it's very very frustrating so this is always being promised to us it's never actually being delivered if this turns out to actually be awesome then I'm super stoked because between that and self-driving cars that just like show up where I need them and take me to where I need to go I can't actually figure out what I will need to do anymore I'll just spend all my time making videos which speaking of videos done done I'm gonna post this in the twitch chat we have released another episode of nerd sports exclusively on vessel actually the first episode is available on the free vessel platform so all you have to do is sign up for a vessel account and you can watch the volleyball episode let's go ahead and pull this up but the dodgeball episode was just released two days ago so so far we've got volleyball lacrosse and dodgeball vessel does offer a one week free trial if you sign up for the platform with your credit card so you can watch all of those and the next one coming so we've got hockey coming in five more days and then we've actually got curling coming a week after that so at that point the five initial episodes of this miniseries will be released I highly recommend you check them out they're actually pretty funny the editing is done by Nick van burkel the shooting was done by the entire team this is actually a very challenging but very rewarding project for us and yeah it's that it's one of it's one of the coolest things we've ever done for sure so you guys are gonna want to check that out if you're on vessel or if you're not on vessel then check it out we have one week free trial if nothing else all right oh crap I wore the wrong shirt on WAN show Nick light is going to kill me because we actually have new Linus Tech chip shirts that are like I don't actually know if they're limited edition or what but they are freaking sick I hosted a couple of videos recently that aren't due to be released in a little while but that here on top of the wardrobe to your right there you go black one that should be one check is that it yay that's fine that's fine I do the other ones like at home or something don't even try oh yeah I thought he's gonna throw it at me he is gonna throw it at me he's planning to throw it at me oh okay yeah that's fine so I will be using I will be using my laptop here to avoid violating twitch's no nip policy here hopefully there's no twitch staff in the chat we're watching the stream come on get my headphones off okay all done should be fine yeah it should be fine hold on no nips are bare shoulders okay I mean this is really no different from wearing like spaghetti straps and and you know whatever no one finds my bare shoulders sexy that's for sure all right there we go oh yeah see that shine shiny shiny Linus tech tip shirts are coming my friends we're gonna have them in gold as well as silver I personally like the silver one like better I think it looks better but the gold one the gold one is definitely that bling so to speak so oh man the entire twitch chat is just full of people finding my shoulders sexy which is awesome thank you oh oh the links are live oh awesome yeah so these are actually available now they are limited edition apparently I see I don't even know any of these things so there's the gold one and here's the silver one a teespring just got the capability recently to print in these foils so here I'm gonna bring up the store link here and I'll show this to you guys here check it out actually the pictures wow the pictures are sort of awful sorry teespring but the pictures are awful it looks way better than that in person let's go to the gold one so you can actually see on camera here see that looks so dull compared to this you can see the shine yeah oh they need to do better better pictures for the for the gold and silver print stuff but that's sort of their problem we we can show off the shirt ourselves I should just have Dennis model everything from now on everyone likes it better when he does it should have had him come on the show all right moving on to some more topics here this was originally posted by wizard saw on the forum the original article here is from gizmeg my son did that the other day he took a sip of something he's like who taught you that you know like you just want to keep you just want to keep kids from learning this crap all right so Frankie's aptas awesome flyboard air redefines the concept of a hoverboard let's fire up some of these pictures here so we can navigate the gallery with right and left arrow keys or we could just click these buttons it looks absolutely bananas though how cool is that how sketched out would you be flying around on that thing trying to take like pictures like you can tell why the angle isn't isn't perfect on it that is freaking amazing you can tell they still don't don't have the faith in this system to fly over land so they're they're over water but it appears to have a jet engine powering the device with autonomous flight up to 10,000 feet a top speed of a hundred and fifty kilometers an hour ten minutes of autonomy and won't be on the market in 2016 that is for sure I mean it's funny because when I was a kid the best thing we could come up with kind of was flying cars because like you're you're bound by the paradigms that already exist around you somewhat in terms of your imagination and there are all these issues with flying cars like they would be big you would eventually have traffic again collisions would be would be just disastrous whereas this this looks awesome oh yeah another thing like you know you'd have to have either VTOL or you'd have to have like landing strips everywhere and VTOL is really inefficient and landing strips take up a lot of space and like so if you people were legitimately commuting on them it was there were gonna be a lot of things to overcome personal vehicles like this if it can go up to 150 kilometers an hour they've got 10 minutes of flight already that that is potentially all the solution that we need like I could get to work in let's say they can let's say they can double the flight time I can get to work in you know 15 minutes at you know 80 kilometers an hour or something along those lines that's for sure I charge it up throughout the day and go home that is freaking awesome and actually quite practical if it's if it's small and compact here let's let's fire up the video of him flying it here we go turn this out it was unreal man so cool these changes everything everything my friends I so want one no idea how much something like that will cost you guys want to check out the full video I'll link it in the video description here so cool yeah like beyond words all right AMD Polaris will support up to 240 Hertz displays this was literally posted by Atex on the forum and the original article here is from OC 3d dot net this really isn't that surprising display port 1.3 has higher bandwidth than display port 1.2 by a significant margin so it should come as no surprise that you can do any number of things with that you can increase resolution you can increase color depth you can increase refresh rate or you can do some combination of the three so what display port 1.3 will enable is 1080p up to 240 Hertz high dynamic range 1440p up to 170 Hertz high dynamic range 3440 by 1440 up to 144 Hertz high dynamic range or 190 Hertz standard dynamic range and of course this is the first time I'm actually hearing about HDR on PC graphics cards as well that's pretty exciting I have a video coming with a Samsung TV as sort of the focal point of it where I talk a lot about HDR standards where they're at where the contents at and then we'll have support for up to 5k 60 Hertz standard dynamic range so guys make sure you guys tune in because the whole high dynamic range thing in video is not the same as HDR photography it is like not even not really related in the way that HDR is sort of used as an artistic statement high dynamic range in video is actually just more about being able to see more of the image which to be clear I do know HDR is used in stills for that purpose but unlike for stills where HDR is achieved by taking multiple exposures of the same subject and then stitching them together after the fact high dynamic range in video is actually just able to use more of the information that was already captured by the camera that current standards standard dynamic range standard current standard dynamic range standards do not allow so for example a top of the range camera like an aria Alexa whatever the variant of it is that's the that's the flagship right now can handle something along the lines of I think fourteen and a half stops of dynamic Brandon Alexa fourteen and a half stops yeah fourteen and a half stops of dynamic range standard dynamic range is somewhere in the neighborhood of like six so when the filmmaker captures all this information in the highlights like a burning candle or the lowlights like a shadow you when they adapt that to be viewed on your PC monitor or on your TV at home you are getting a fraction of the information that was captured in those highlights and lowlights they have to kind of compress that into this much narrower range of brightest to darkest that can be displayed by well standard dynamic range televisions high dynamic range is going to increase that to somewhere in the neighborhood of ten stops which will make a huge difference especially when viewing in the dark so I'm I'm pretty excited about it with that said there's really not a lot of content right now there's like Marco Polo on Netflix I think Amazon Prime video has a couple yeah everything can be redone in HDR you can buy all your damn video file your damn movies again now with HDR and 4k Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark they call it that now can you believe that they renamed Raiders of the Lost Ark I bought the the blu-ray pack I think I ranted about this recently actually maybe it was on Wanshow last week oh anyway well it upset me enough that I had to rant about it again they renamed Raiders of the Lost Ark to Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark you can't do that might as well replace all the guns with walkie-talkies all right so this was originally posted by pig hammer on the forum original article here is from blogs.wallstreetjournal.com actually WSJ Apple loses an iPhone trademark battle in China so it's actually a leather accessories company that has won the right to use the iPhone name in China now to be clear their iPhone like this with all capitals whereas Apple is small i big p small hone but the Chinese court that ruled on this did not differentiate between capital and non capital letters and basically threw out Apple's appeal in a trademark dispute that's been in Chinese courts for the last four years so Apple actually applied for the iPhone trademark back in 2002 but it wasn't granted until 2013 zin tong tandy technology Co. Ltd. applied for the trademark in the category of leather goods in 2007 securing it in 2010 so the court's ruling reflects the free market system in China I've got some pictures here of iPhone branded bags there you go so that's an iPhone okay sure Elon Musk says the production deadline for the model 3 is impossible this is posted by DJ D was 97 on the forum original article here is from CNET.com and so during their quarter one 2016 earnings call he set a deadline of July 1st 2017 to begin model 3 production then said that it would likely be an impossible goal to meet ok then he said the model 3 was designed to be much less complicated to manufacture than the S and the X but the process of developing the parts necessary from suppliers and integrating them into the line would set the actual production back so estimating initial production at a hundred to two hundred thousand cars for the model 3 in 2017 and said that they could be producing 500,000 cars a year in 2018 ok I'm hoping for the best here because I want people to buy model 3s and then get tired of them and that's when I will buy an electric car so you go Microsoft is posted by Jason NR 22 on the forum Microsoft to stop allowing Cortana to function in other browsers which is sort of a bummer because it is going to be a cold day in hell before they get me to use edge at least if it doesn't dramatically improve and the same goes for Bing. Bing is so awful I give it a chance every time I do a fresh windows install like ok Bing hit me with your best windows default option shot here and I do a lot of fresh installs I'm working on a review of the LG gram right now every computer I touch has a fresh install of windows on it and it's awful it's terrible can't find anything the goal is to provide a better search experience which I wish them much luck with let's see what else do we got here buttonless fingerprint sensors coming to phones this year this was originally posted on the forum by Strider 7 to something I lost track of it the original article here is from the verge very cool so right now basically the only way to have a fingerprint sensor is to have like that like a button but here we go the positioning of the button can make a phone much more pleasant to use or much less so for example the z5 compact has the fingerprint sensor in the side lock button which for me when I'm pulling out my phone and unlocking it is so natural to just it's not a very good fingerprint sensor I talked about this in the review every time you reset it it's like really fast and like really functional again and then it just over time gets worse anyway really great place for it you just go click hold it there boom you're rocking whereas on the LG G5 when I published my review of this I'm going to talk about how the position of the fingerprint sensor button on the back makes it kind of a drag when the phone is on the table in front of me and I want to unlock it I actually have to use the passcode or pick it up in those cases so the idea here is to have LG in a tech join fingerprint cards in announcing this fingerprint module that can be integrated under the same glass cover as a phone's display which takes out the need for the button you just touch anywhere on the screen so they're expecting devices with the new technology before the end of the year and they point out that waterproofing a smartphone will become significantly easier without a discrete button for the fingerprint reader very cool very cool they promise to maintain the accuracy of current implementations okay this is kind of a bummer originally posted by wander away on the forum best buy is going to have the oculus rift for sale on store shelves this is posted later this week on may second so sometime it may have even happened already um okay one small problem and the original post on the forum which is made by wonder away having already said that had someone post their invoice for the oculus rift their order confirmation from January that has a shipping estimated shipping date of like July or something June or July so this is another case like that I think it's like the ultimate beer cooler or something where they were fulfilling orders on Amazon before fulfilling Kickstarter orders well this is oculus taking online pre-orders getting ultimately more than they could produce and shipping to a big-box store instead of fulfilling orders in a FIFA manner first in first out is what FIFA means sorry so while I get that they might be contractually obligated to do this and they're saying it's an extremely limited supply of riffs that will be available for purchase this is such a kick in the teeth and is such bad PR especially when you consider that according to Luke's recent polls where he had it at 5050 I think at the beginning of the year and something like 8020 in favor of people saying they prefer the vibe to the oculus rift right now for what they lean towards purchasing this is such bad PR when HTC is kicking their ass right now yeah wow so they're gonna have they're gonna let potential visitors search for locations to demo the rift I mean that's one good thing about having it in a big box store but with that said people don't need to demo it until you actually have something to sell them really and they'll let them schedule demos up to a month in advance so the experiences will include dream deck and the climb so I think that pretty much wraps up the WAN show today I don't want to bleed too far over six o'clock because I believe Luke is intending to live stream live stream from the Nvidia live stream with commentary or something like that so I want to just find out what his plan is before I get off the stream here to live stream the live stream should I get off land show I am ready so he might be he might be popping right back on with live coverage of the live coverage of the Nvidia event though I'm not actually sure I do know that he's been working on a video of what they've had going on at the event so far today and then he'll be releasing another one tomorrow sort of recapping all of the official official information from the Polaris Polaris excuse me Pascal launch so I haven't heard from him so I'm gonna roll the outro and then if I don't hear from him I'll end the stream but stay tuned stay tuned my friends thanks for watching guys see you next week same bat time same bat channel screw off Nick
