 We're not late. We're not late. We're not late. I guarantee you the chat thinks we're late. I guarantee you that the chat is watching us right now. We are live! Regardless, we're late. It's 32 right now. Why are we dropping frames? Why are you dropping frames? We're dropping a lot of frames. Oh yeah, that's frame uploading. Good work. We have a technical consultant with us today, so hopefully the dropped frames go away in one minute from now. Maybe we'll just restart the stream at that point. Yeah, then we'll definitely be late. Then we'll be late. Let's see, are we still dropping frames? We are. I am so looking forward to our new internet at our new place. It is like... Then we could upload and stream at the same time. Like, are you here or are you not here? I'm not here. You're not here. Am I supposed... Do you want me to be here? It doesn't matter. I just wanted to know if I can talk to you. You can talk to me. I can talk to you. I'll just hold the camera, I guess. Okay, well, hold on. I actually have a solution for that. So we're just gonna go ahead and... You could also just like, sit on more of the camera. From time to time, if we decide that maybe he should appear on the camera... There, Sevadis is here with us. And he's apparently taking my place. This is my show. Don't be an asshole about it. So, basically, at our new place, we are gonna have a 200 up, 200 down fiber line with unlimited bandwidth. Streamers delight. Yeah. I am so excited. Because this consumer-grade internet nonsense is terrible. Do you want to just say hi and introduce yourself? Do that? Like, I can cast from there then, right? Because my internet's pretty awful. I guess. I'm being kind of put on the spot here. I can't really say... I can't say no in front of the people, can I? Perfect time to ask, right? Yeah. It's like, when it's awkward, everyone's freaking out, so I guess you don't have to introduce yourself, but you might as well. Just in case there's one person here who doesn't already know who you are. I broadcast on Twitch every day, twitch.tv slash Sevadis. And I play games, which apparently people think you might do, and then they walk away when you don't. Yeah. You have to tell the story now. Tell the story. You know what? Tell it again. I am tired of this story. I hate this story. I think it's a hilarious story. He was standing outside of BMW, wearing a purple Twitch shirt. I go all the way half around the world to bring you this story. And this kid walks up to him, who he kindly refers to as Kid, and I've been informed by Burkle is taller than him, and goes, oh, do you stream on Twitch? Are you a Twitch streamer? That's so exciting. I was wearing a Twitch shirt in his defense. Do you play games? And he's like, well, you asked me two questions, Kid. I didn't say that. I know he said it that way. I did not say that. Every version of this story I've heard, you said that. But I don't. He said it that way. That was what I was thinking. He's a kind person deep down inside. Anyways, so the conversation goes on and he has to explain to the young man that, no, he doesn't play video games, but he does stream on Twitch, but it's this weird tech show thing. And then the kid's like, oh, I don't really care. He walks away. He leaves. He leaves. YouTube is for old men now, apparently. Did you explain that you were on YouTube? Well, I said I had like a technology show and he just walked away. He was like, oh, OK, cool. Peace. Out of there. So so there you go. Apparently the camera is not focused. I blame Brandon for that. 360 no scope rect. Sorry, I have to I have to kick you off for now. But he's here at any rate. He's not joining us on the couch because he likes that chair. Apparently we should cover what our main topics are going to be today. So number one, this is the big news this week. Skyrim paid mods. They're gone. I mean, you'll still have the mod if you paid for it and you'll also have your money. So really, they're here more than they ever were. What? Also, Square Enix did a DirectX 12 demo that is absolutely bananas. I mean, Square Enix, Square, soft, and an anus. Yeah, going all the way back as far as it goes. I mean, they've always been so good at cut scenes and you're like, wow, that is some great pre-rendered cinematic stuff. And then we just have to hope they get good at making Final Fantasy. They like move the camera and you're like, oh, you know, I feel like I shouldn't complain about Final Fantasy because I haven't played one since. I want to say, well, well, well, I have a PS2. You've got it. Yeah, I think maybe maybe 10 or like 10 to or something. But anyway, somewhere in that range, I definitely know who Titus is. So whatever one he's in and then maybe the next one. Can't remember. The point is, boy, are they rubbish these days. So whatever. You talk about other topics. OK, so the Apple Watch bomb cost is under $100. I think it's like 80 or 85, which is ridiculous or totally normal or I don't know yet. We'll talk about that more later. AMD Freesync Crossfire has been delayed. Very super amazingly surprising. You know what else has been delayed? What? Layers. When you take them apart, delayed. Oh, intro time. Who broke the intro? It's it doesn't. It's not no one in particular. Who broke the intro? You did. Sevadis probably broke the intro. I told you guys to go through this every week not to let him in this room. Unsupervised. Like we need to uninstall and reinstall X-Flip. Just don't do it right. Well, I'm sure that would solve the whole problem. I'm willing to bet that. Where is where is the intro file? Is this it? Is this it? OK, well, let's just fix the audio really quick. Everyone heads up. It's going to be super loud. Headphone users turn it down. What's going on now? I click the scene and it's it's not happy. It's it's getting unhappy. It's not it's not it's not happy. So I'm just fix the code live. There was no there was no happiness in my. Are we even still live? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. It's not showing more encoded frames, though. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I think so. Let's see. We're not sure if we're live, so. We're we're going to. Anyways, that was the intro. Thank you to. Usually they would show up on screen. Did the did the intro play? Maybe Alt Tab will save us. Uh, maybe control, Alt Delete will save us. Oh, God. Oh, no. OK, we started Task Manager. I oh what? No, the video preview works. OK, maybe previews been working. I'm going to do something drastic. No, I'm going to switch users. So why would you do that? Just leave it. Oh, we can't change. I can't change scenes. Yeah. So I'm going to do something drastic. Oh, I'm going to switch users and I'm going to see if the stream continues when we log back in. All right. I'm looking at the username on the middle of the screen. Twitch chat is suggesting that we go with deleting system 32. Twitch chat is often full of excellent suggestions like that. We are we are going to. Hey, all right, intro time. There's music. I have no idea who the sponsors are. You have the wrong intro. What? This is the old one. This is the one you told me to use. No, I pointed. No, no. Well, whatever. So it's Wanswamp with nothing. I think you scrolled up. OK. Well, Linda.com is one of our sponsors today, as is Dollar Shave Club and also Squarespace. Beautiful. Not not that one. OK, so let's go ahead and jump right into our first topic here. What is our first topic? Our first topic is that our folding team is awesome. Oh, that's right. So Luke did a little video. I want to do another one, that he's been bugging me to do for like a year. Now that it worked, I want to do another one. And well, we have yet to see if it worked. I think it worked. So basically, this is our distributed computing build blog and basically Luke did up like a computer and then talked about how it's really good for distributed computing and distributed computing. For those of you who don't know, is go watch the video. It makes a lot of points. It's not necessarily the most balanced thing in the world. Yeah, we we we knew that. But yeah, what's cool about it is, do you want to give some do you want to give some stats for the LTT folding team? So we have 1070 active folding members, which is insane. I believe that's more than the default group for folding members, which is crazy. We have 4300 total team members who are getting about 16 million PPD, which stands for points per day. Folding is cool. It helps with trying to cure things like Alzheimer's and other stuff or research. Not necessarily try to cure it helps with research. It's basically instead of having one super crazy expensive supercomputer, they distribute the load to a whole bunch of computers around the world so that they can do the computing for them. And we're trying to help with that. So we are now the number one team for active folders in the world. And we are, I believe, 25th. Yes, 25th in terms of total overall points. There's some teams that are above us that have been going for over 10 years. So it'll take us a little bit to just surpass those guys. But we're doing quite good. Absolutely incredible. So let's move on to our first topic here. This was posted by Victorious Secret. I'll go ahead and clear this up. Tesla topic ever. Yeah, did you are you posting this in chat? Yeah, I got it. Are you sure? Because I've got it open like I can go. No, don't I got it. OK, OK. So basically everything you need to know about Tesla's new household batteries, they're taking what they know about batteries that they put in cars and pretty much putting them in your house. It sounds like I've oversimplified things a little bit. In actuality, I really haven't. So it's going to be like a like a sub a sub operation that they're calling Tesla Energy. And Elon Musk is quoted as saying our goal is to fundamentally change the way the world uses energy. I don't know that batteries are necessarily a fundamental change, but I do agree with the sentiment. And it is indeed a noble one. The home battery is called the power wall. So as you may or may not expect, it is basically an electrified barrier around your house that if anyone tries to get. Although there's videos on that, you can make a force field around your car. It's kind of cool. OK, there's the same amount of force when you walk into it as an AK-47. Nice. Interesting video. Check it out. All right. So it's called the power wall. Basically, it's a wall mounted battery. And then the business battery is called the power pack, which to me makes absolutely no sense. It sounds like something that goes into like Han Solo's blaster, you know, before he like all gunslinger. It sounds like something you could like throw in your backpack and then like charge your laptop while you're on the road or whatever. As much as I would love to have Tesla grade batteries in to use as like portable battery banks, I really don't think that's what we're talking about. No, no, no. So they're quoted as being completely sustainable, zero carbon. Powerwall increases the capacity for a house with solar panels. That's something that is a major issue for people with solar panels, is they can only use them during certain times of day and often not at peak hours. So, for example, in the winter when it gets dark at five o'clock at night, when everyone in the city gets home, you know, around six, seven, eight o'clock at night, turns on their TVs, their computers, that's peak hours. That's when you're paying the most for your electricity. Your solar panels are doing not a whole lot. So if you're going to sell your electricity back to the grid during the day when it's cheap and then buy it back from the grid at night when it's expensive, that kind of sucks. So having what is effectively a power reservoir in your house is going to allow anyone, whether it's a business or a home user, taking advantage of solar power. We should be careful with power reservoir because there's ways you can actually have a reservoir and use it as a battery. Okay, there's capacitors and stuff like that. Yes, you can store power. You can have a water system and use the water system as a battery. You could do that. By pumping water somewhere and then having it flow down. That would work. That is extremely kludgy. And I like this solution better. Yes, but I'm just saying just careful with the reservoir. The size of the thing is three feet across, four feet tall and six inches deep. So it's all about about like we were both going the same direction with that slightly different angles, which is how we usually do it. It's got a 10 year warranty and the selling price to installers is $3,500 for the 10 kilowatt hour or $3,000 for the seven kilowatt hour unit. I would recommend spending the extra $500. Yeah, given that you get what? 40% more capacity for your extra, you know, one sixth of the price, whatever that works out to in percentages. 18%. I don't know. I'm guessing at this one thing. OK, I might have missed this, but one thing that I didn't see a lot of info on was peak power. Three kilowatts. Oh, continuous power. Two kilowatts. Oh, never mind. Yeah, like not that. That was the only information I was looking for. You can power your house off of this thing. It's like pretty cool. Like, OK, don't expect to be, you know, running your clothes dryer. Yeah, don't try to run the dryer or the dishwasher in your TV. And like, well, you can run your TV, but you can't run your dryer and your TV is the point. OK, the dryer is the issue. All right. Everyone just calm down. Big, large, like sometimes kitchen and like washroom appliances. So there's two scenarios here. There's the scenario where during peak hours, you're augmenting your use. You're augmenting what you would normally have to buy purely from the power company with this stored power. And then scenario number two is in an emergency, if you conserve it, if you are like, OK, we're going to turn on one light. We're going to charge our phones so that we can make phone calls and we're going to charge our maybe like our laptops, things that are relatively low power devices. You could run off of this thing for quite some time. Especially if you stack them, they can stack up to I think it's nine. You can get the power walls and stack them up to, I think, nine times, which is crazy. That's sick. Yeah. 90 kilowatt hours. It's a lot of money. But yeah, there's still I would like to see people doing like a benchmark of sorts between this and a generator solution, because I know a lot of like they're complaining that that's really loud when you put it down. Oh, that probably really sucks. I got you guys. I'm going to I'm going to put it down very nicely here. Just stack it on my pile of extreme additions here. There that should that's how it's in the frame. There we go. I should take care of you. Are they all in there? Yeah. I didn't think so. Cool. All right. I'd like to see it properly compared against a generator, because I know a lot of like data centers and stuff that use full massive generators as their backup. Yeah. So it'd be interesting to see if it's actually worth it. Interesting note. We may have found a UPS, like uninterruptible power supply source for the new place. General Electric. Yeah, I know. I didn't even know they made them. What? So blah, blah, blah. Figures the entire world could go renewable, primarily solar with 900 million power packs. Those would be the business grade batteries. Elon Musk is using it at home, but doesn't have enough roof space to go 100 percent solar. He figures it'll probably be two thirds solar power when all said and done. I mean, the thing that we're not factoring in here is that while the cost of the battery is like pretty AOK, the cost of going solar on your roof is actually extremely high. Still depends where it depends where. Well, the practicality depends, but the upfront installation cost is high. No, depends where. OK, so what are the... Oh, you mean Solar City. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm not I'm not talking about like when there's supplementary funding coming in. I mean, that stuff is expensive. But in a lot of countries and stuff, there's huge amounts of supplementary funding because the government wants to get it going. Not everywhere. That's why I said depends where. Like in Canada. Good luck, bro. Yeah. There's nothing. You're buying those solar panels straight up. You're paying for installation straight up. Yeah. And you're not going to have as much sun. I mean, the last time I looked into it was probably about four years ago. And basically, there were no kickbacks that I was aware of. Or it was like very, very small. They were incredibly expensive. Unhelpful. Yeah. Lots of trees in my area. I looked into it around the time we moved into our house. Lots of trees in my area. I live in Vancouver. It's cloudy. One hundred and eighty six days a year. This doesn't make just doesn't make a ton of sense. Not right now, at least. It probably will eventually, but not right now. But yeah, very cool. I guess that's all there is to really say about it. It's going to make a lot of sense for a lot of people. Even people who aren't necessarily going solar can benefit from not buying electricity during peak hours. Here in British Columbia, it's far less of an issue. We have an awful lot of falling water here. But in places like California, where power is much more expensive, in places like like small island nations like, you know, Taiwan, for example, how are you going to generate power there? Well, you burn hydrocarbons. Yay. Apparently, Hawaii has no interest in solar panels. No, we don't have an interest in solar panels. Why? Our infrastructure was made in like the 60s, right after like the war and everything. And so it was never made to put power back in to the grid. So things there's brownouts all the time because there's too much power going in. So they like stop giving people permits until they try to fix the system. But they have no money to fix the system. Yeah, they should easily run their whole place off solar panels. So we just we just burn oil. Cool. We have one coal power plant, I think, like seven oil. Wow. Something like that. Geez. Winning. Yeah, that's horrible. All right. Go team Hawaii. So Skyrim paid mods. This is the other big one for this week. Actually, this is kind of the big news for this week. Valve heard you guys, Bethesda heard you guys. And mostly it cost them a lot of money. They spent a lot of money appeasing people who were super upset about paid mods in Skyrim. And they have backpedaled 100 percent. They didn't actually care that you were upset. They cared that your upsetness was really expensive. And I mean, you know, what's really funny is what was the quote from Gabe N. about how much it cost them in customer service? A million dollars. Do they have enough customer service agents to pay a million dollars in a span of a week? It wasn't even up for a week, was it? Like four days. Part of the problem could have been that, like, they're. I want to run these numbers. Let's run these numbers. I think you just throw out a number. I don't know. I want to know how many people Valve has working in customer service. OK, so let's say he doesn't. Let's say everyone just relax for a second. OK, so so they paid a million dollars. Let's say customer service job. Let's say you work at Valve where apparently everything is made of lollipops. So they spend 52 million dollars a year. I mean, Gabe N. needs a lot of lollipops, obviously. OK, so it was made of lollipops. Let's say you make twenty five dollars an hour as a CSR there. OK, twenty five dollars. Nice even number. That's reasonable. OK. So four days, twenty four. That's pretty good for a customer service. Yeah, that's pretty good. They probably don't make that much. So 24 hours, but there's some overhead. You know, you got your your employment insurance and blah, blah, blah. OK, so ninety six hours, ninety six hours. So let's say let's say they got paid time and a half because they were working a lot of overtime. Let's say there's some double time mixed in there. OK, so let's say it costs thirty eight dollars an hour to have these to have these people. Let's say they've never heard of like Gmail filters or anything. Yeah. OK, so so so so so hold on. So we've got a million dollars divided by thirty eight, right? Divided by thirty eight. So it's got that. So that's twenty six thousand three hundred and fifteen hours. Now, if each of those people worked the entire four days without sleeping, which, you know, I'd pay double time for that. No, I wouldn't. So let's go ahead. Overtime at all. Let's go ahead and ever divide by complete crap. So hold on a second. Where was I? Divide by nine ninety six. Yes, sleep for like eight total hours. Just everyone. Everyone needs to relax for a second. So divided by ninety six. So we're assuming they all worked the entire four days. That means Valve has two hundred and seventy four support people who worked the entire four days straight on that million dollars. Meanwhile, there was probably no actual overtime. Meanwhile, they're probably making like ten dollars an hour, not twenty five. Yeah. Oh, OK. All right. All right. I've got I've got ghost leaving comments in the in the in the thing. The price may have been something to do with keeping the email servers up and all that kind of stuff. Well, you know, I think we built in enough fudge factor into our calculation. You know, the email servers are fine, given that they clearly didn't work for ninety six hours, ninety six consecutive hours with all two hundred and seventy three people mashing away at keyboards the entire time. So basically what happened is all the money spent on mods will be refunded completely. Bethesda and Valvar are in agreement on this because presumably Bethesda got flooded, too. And the quote is great. We've done this because it's clear we didn't understand exactly what we were doing. We so the goal was to put a share of the rewards in the hands of the community creators. Also, and this is another quote, we wanted great mods becoming great products like Dota, Counter Strike, DayZ and Killing Floor, which sounds great in theory if they weren't taking the lion's share of the whole thing for themselves for the privilege of allowing it to be hosted on their servers. So Gayben's claim was that it's cost Valva a million dollars in time spent dealing with the blowback. You know what? If we factor in Gayben's salary, if he worked the four days, I don't know what he makes, but who knows that might have accounted for. Maybe he was just like, I will give myself a million dollars. We will filter out everything that says mod in it in the email servers and then just move on and not reply to any of them. Yes. I mean, the reality of it is that sounds like their customer service. Now that they've backtracked on it, they don't really need to reply to the emails complaining about it. That's my point. And I seriously doubt they did. Straight up template. So basically, the long and short of it is that Valve hasn't apologized. They haven't apologized for the crappy revenue share. They haven't apologized to people who think mods should be free, who I don't agree with anyway. I think that there's nothing wrong with paying content creators for the effort and time that they put into it. And I think that that can turn into better content over time as these people kind of go, oh, there's a real viable business to be made here. Maybe I can hire some artists and hire some programmers, and maybe I can turn this into a real thing. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. But at the end of the day, they have apologized for nothing. They're coming back. For sure, they'll come back in some form. They'll just figure out a better way to spin it PR wise. The quote, it didn't make financial sense for Valve to push paid mods. Ten thousand dollars in revenue cannot possibly compensate for the potential loss of millions of dollars from angry emails, messages, especially when you're losing your customers trust in the process. Can I help you? Yeah, I was just going to jump in about the million dollar cost thing. Yeah. Apparently, this isn't how I read the quote, but some people in Twitch chat are saying the quote was that it cost them a million dollars in potential revenue. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fine. We got it. Okay. So basically, yeah, it was... I was being facetious. I don't think Valve has 273 customer support agents. Do you really have to explain this? I do, apparently. No. Because Nick walked all the way over here to tell me that I had to explain it. I was being facetious. It was a joke. I don't think they have that many people. I don't think they worked for 48 hours. I don't think they make $25 an hour. I don't think they got paid time and a half. And he doesn't think anyone should ever get overtime. And I think that particularly salary employees are what they are. Oh, crap. I'm a salary employee. You made everyone in the company a salary employee just so you wouldn't have to pay overtime ever. That's not how salary works. You're a manager. Manager of what? Let's move on. China to start officially rating its citizens, including online behavior. This is some seriously ugly stuff. And the scariest part of this is that it's not actually new. They just weren't English. There weren't English translations of some of these documents up until now. This website is not being easy for me to navigate. So that's, yeah, OK. All right, there we go. You're muted, thankfully. All right, there's a BMW commercial. You know what? Did you post the link already? No, I got it. I'm actually going to post the forum one this time. All right, so this was originally posted by Popman, which reminds me, I should probably, so Skyrim Pades or Mod was Lightning. All right, originally posted by Popman. And pretty much what this amounts to is China's government has kind of decided that they're turning from a society of acquaintances, people who interact with each other and have kind of a social mesh of bonding and trust and all that, into this mass of anonymous people who won't have regard or won't have trust in each other or don't know. So a nation of anonymous people. So this electronic system, strangers, thank you. It says strangers. Yeah. So this nationwide electronic system is called the social credit system. So each of the 1.3 billion citizens of China gets a score for their behavior. Based on four major fields, politics, business, society, and justice. Justice. Justice. The Chinese press has talked about the system focusing on financial credibility only, which is really not that different from a credit rating. If I don't pay a parking ticket, then does that affect my trustworthiness in terms of do I pay bills? Does my phone company need to know about that? I guess that kind of makes sense where financial transactions are involved. But some other media, particularly there's a German report that has revealed a more intriguing side of the story. So there's a variety of criteria, all the way down to criminal record and even social media behavior. So you could get profiled based on your social media behavior, and that can affect all kinds of stuff. Like your ability to get a loan, your ability to apply for housing. This is just insane. I mean, it's being compared to the surveillance of East German citizens after the war. World War II. But yeah, after that particular war. But apparently far more ambitious and is an attempt to create a new way of behaving for their citizens. Now, this is just a note in my notes. Apparently, some experts are speculating that Chinese internet companies like Tencent will go along with the government because in China, the internet companies see themselves as in more of a symbiotic relationship with the government, whereas the American companies like your Googles and your Microsofts and your Apples are, at least on the surface, meeting initiatives like this head on. They're butting heads with the US government about it. And for the most part, it seems like actually doing the right thing by their users mostly, at least as far as we can tell. Protecting their data sets. So could you imagine part of your Chinese Tinder profile is like your social score? And you can like, you swipe left a lot. Yeah, you swipe left. You're a very shallow person. Score down. And you drop your score. Really though? I mean, that's the level of insanity. And there's stuff in here like buying diapers apparently classifies you as a responsible person, whereas playing copious amounts of video games, that makes you a social credit low life apparently. Yeah, I would probably actually, thinking of my habits, I would probably have a really, really low score. And get this, me associating regularly with someone who has a low social credit score is going to affect my social credit. And that's an interesting waterfall effect. Because then if, say it went this way. You knew Linus. I knew Linus. But I didn't know you. So if your score is bad because of video games, then his score goes down. His drops a little bit. Then my score goes down. Like, wow. I mean, imagine if you were a teen mom. What would your social credit score be then? Like, I don't know. Probably, see, because buying diapers would bring it up. But then I bet you the fact that you're young and pregnant would bring it down. What if you're single? What if you're a single teen mom? That would probably be even more. Does that drop? Like, it's basically a pure, it's a way of controlling and socially ostracizing people who don't get in line with the party's values. I mean, the fact that social media is part of this, if you say anything about how you don't like it, people better not associate with you because you're going to be one of those people who drives down their social credit score. They might not get a bank loan. Is that why we didn't hear about this for a year, probably? Yeah, I guess so. Because if they said something that this was happening, then their score just plummets. And all of a sudden, they're like a worthless citizen now. Yeah. They can't do anything. That's insane. That's absolutely insane. Absolutely unbelievable. So yay, China. You know, maybe I'll move there. Not at all ever. No. Audi has made diesel from water and carbon monoxide. Or excuse me, carbon dioxide. That would have been interesting. No, hold on a second. There's conflicting information in our notes. I thought it was carbon monoxide, so I'm going to double check. Carbon dioxide. All right, so water and carbon dioxide, two things that are definitely plentiful. The original article here is from IFLScience. Let's go ahead and bring that up. Basically, the technology is not actually new. Twitch chat is wondering, if you watch really crappy porn, does your score go down? And then if you watch premium porn, does your score go up? Like that you pay a lot of money for it? That means that you have the money to spendable income? Like if you go to a free porn site, does your score go down? And then if you spend money on a reliable purchase and pay the bill properly. All right, if we're coming back to this topic, I have to sort of pitch in here. I don't think how much you spend on the porn factors into it. No, no, no, no, no. I think it's going to be whether the porn is socially acceptable. So single guy on single girl. Missionary only. Missionary only. With the intent to procreate. Government approved porn videos. Lots of kissing, real love. That's probably going to affect your social credit score less than donkeys. If it's Orwellian, isn't it not the real love thing? Are they supposed to not enjoy it? So it has to be porn where they're like, I don't actually like you. And maybe it's with you. Oh gosh, could you imagine? It can't be porn. It has to be like reality porn. Like they have sex and then nine months later, there's the baby. So it's like it's about the suck. Fade to black, nine months later. Fade back from black. It's about inspiring Chinese people to procreate. If you stop watching too early, it's like your score is bad. You're supposed to follow through. If you skip the beginning and watch the end, your score is even better. Although I don't think they want more babies. So this is probably completely backwards. All right, so Audi has made diesel from water and carbon dioxide. Apparently the technique is not new. This is something that has been possible since the 1920s. So like super-de-duper not new. But Audi says that thanks to the higher temperatures of the process, as well as some general refinements, they have made some progress towards making it more viable. So I guess there's not too much to say about that other than that if they can make diesel out of, and it's not diesel-diesel, it's like some kind of, I forget what they're calling it, E-diesel. It's a lot of different, yeah, E-diesel. Are they calling it E-diesel, is that right? So like electronic diesel? I thought that was what E meant. I thought it was E-mail, you know, E- Or environmental. Oh. Yeah, but doesn't it, no, that's E-ca. It would be eco-diesel then. But isn't there already eco-diesel? Possibly. It's like, well, we're just gonna leave out the co. Because it's not made of carbon monoxide anyway. So we'll just put in the E. Science jokes. I think, I think. They're not funny. So if you guys wanna know anything about the process- Yeah, eco-diesel ram trucks. All right, eco-diesel apparently already works. Well, thank you very much for that. I don't know if that's a fuel type though. That's probably just like the, yeah, that's the ram like branding. It could be TM, you know, it could be like, well, if you guys are making fuel that doesn't go in our trucks and isn't exclusive to us, also you're Audi, so, you know. Not that I think Dodge and Audi really directly compete on it, maybe Dodge would like to think so. Let's go ahead and move a little bit further down here. This is cool. So this was posted by Mustafalia, Mustafalia, 61. Mustafalia. 61. Mustafalia. Yeah, it's off available technologies.pnnl.gov. What is that PNNL? Pacific North National Laboratory. Oh, thank you. All right. I guess that was in the top left of the webpage. All right. So this is cool. There's a 3D printed microscope for mobile devices. And this maybe doesn't sound that amazing, but I think it's pretty neat. Basically it costs about a dollar in materials. It uses the same glass that is apparently used on airplane runways. And it can be made with magnification anywhere from a hundred times, which is enough for kids to take like microscope pictures of, you know, flowers and salt grains and see them in great detail. And there's a 350 times version, which is enough to identify parasites in blood samples. And there's even a 1000 times magnification, which is enough to see individual anthrax spores and plague cells. So it's cheap aside from that you'll probably need a 3D printer or to get that printed somewhere. And it's designed to fit most brands of phones, including Apple and Samsung. Cool. I guess there's not a whole lot else to say. Nope. It's cool though. There's a video. That's cool. So we can go ahead and yeah. No, I got this. I got this, bro. I got this. Yeah. So there's a video where they have people talking and then hopefully show it at some point. Where is it? Here we go. Yeah. Yep. For like one second we had it. That is some cool stuff. Like obviously that's a, that's like a slide to like, that's not how it'll work generally speaking, but. Well, you could, you could get a slide. I guess you could, you could keep a, you could keep a slide on your phone all the time. No, they're looking into a slide. Oh, they're looking into a slide. Makes more sense. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That makes a lot more sense. That's 100 times or a thousand times less completely stupid than what I thought was going on. Okay. I was so confused. I'm a confusing guy. All right. This was a pretty, this was a pretty quick one. Posted by victorious secret. The source is sammobile.com basically a galaxy S6 and galaxy S6 edge are suffering from poor lollipop RAM management. So applications that would normally be stored in RAM for instance, switching between them are actually just kind of crashing in the background and they have to be reloaded into memory when you switch back to them. The funny thing about it is phones have gotten so fast in the last couple of years that throughout my entire time with the S6 edge, I totally didn't notice it. Apparently certain applications are more prone to it than others. For example, WhatsApp and Chrome are more prone to it than certain other applications. It's not surprising. Chrome memory management is not optimal. Surprising. Chrome's like, can I have more, more, more please? Chrome would probably love it. Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine. Desktop size RAM sticks to the back of your phone. Chrome would just be like, yes. That's a good idea. It's about the right time. Why is that not done yet? Totally different type of memory. It would be cool though. So yeah, like it's funny. I posted on Instagram last night that I had switched over to the Predator monitor, the IPS G-Sync monitor. Half of the comments are just about how many tabs I had opened on my Chrome browser. People were like, no wonder he needs 32 gigs of RAM. I literally at that time, because I was looking at these messages, I was like, oh, I wonder how much RAM Chrome's using. 17 gigs. I was using 17 gigs with a single instance of Chrome. Just with all the tabs. People are like, how do you get that many tabs open in a single browsing session? Why do you guys ever close your browsers? I don't even have a favorites bar anymore. I don't have a homepage. I just restore my session. It clearly has everything I was doing last time. That's what I was gonna say, is even if they did close their browser, if they had to restart to install a program or whatever, you can just restore session. Yeah. Everything comes back in. I use it as a notepad. I will take sentences and just type them in the search bar. Yeah. Just to save them, just because I don't want to open notepad or something and have the stupid idea there. So I just have all these Google searches of things. Exactly, everyone's like, why don't you use Evernote? I'm like, why don't I open an email and draft it to myself? Bam. Same deal. Cloud syncing. I don't have to have another app on my phone. I don't have to remember another login. I can quickly and conveniently send it to myself as a reminder for later. Or anyone else. If someone's like, hey, can you send me that list? It's just like, all right, sure. I'm straight up terrible. I use my email as my calendar, my notepad, my communication platform. Google knows everything. Google knows everything about me, baby. How's that targeted advertising going? You know what? I haven't seen an ad on the internet in 10 years. Not because I have ad block, because I simply don't see it. It's pretty easy to not look. I don't understand. Okay, no, that's wrong. I understand when people get really upset about internet ads, because anything that downloads files onto my computer is a big problem. Anything that plays through my headphones is a big problem. These are both big problems. Everything else, I have no idea it's there. I don't know what the ad was. I don't know where it was. I don't know what was on that page other than what I was looking for. I don't understand why people are looking at them. Speaking of which, I guess we should move on to our sponsors. So our first sponsor of the day is Lynda.com. For those of you who aren't familiar with Lynda.com, they're used by millions of people around the world. They offer more than 3,000 courses with all kinds of topics like web development, photography, visual design, business. They have software training for programs like Excel, WordPress, Photoshop. With how prevalent Twitch streaming is becoming as an actual profession these days. Lynda.com for Twitch streaming? They should have, this is an opportunity. You know, here, hold on, hold on, hold on. That's a fantastic idea actually. Yeah. That is like, that is one of the- That's a really good idea. That's the best idea I've had today. How to be like an online personality. You should do it, straight up. You should teach that course. I know a lot of people with great personalities who if they could get in front of an audience- It's not even just that though. Get it set up right. Yeah, he can show them how to set it up right. He can show them how to get stuff like Stream Tip working. How to get the different alert things working and everything else. And like, and because- That's interesting. It's evolving so quickly that the new courses that come out every week or two for people who want to get into this are gonna be endless. Absolutely. Of course, absolutely. Endless, there's always another optimization tip. There's always a change in the landscape. That is so cool and I think Lynda pays the content creators if they're experts. None of you do this. Yeah, I'm afraid that's not how ideas on the land show work. They're just kinda out there. So the idea is that all courses are taught by industry experts. So at least that eliminates a lot of the audience because you would classify as an industry expert. Not necessarily everyone would. And the idea behind it is Lynda.com helps you take your hobby to the next level, helps you take your career to the next level. You can get a 10 day free trial just to try it out. And if you decide you like it, then you can stick with it with plans starting at only $25 a month. So head over to Lynda.com slash WAN show to try it out and start learning today. Speaking of things that you should learn, you should learn that Lyna. Oh no. It's frozen. Do we have a pen? Do we have a pen? Hold on. Do we have? I can make a sign. Do we have the hot? No, cause we're not gonna be able to switch back to our no guests scene. What is happening? We can't restart now. Are the hot keys working? No, I'm gonna have to just, I'll just have to chop it together. We'll be back. Oh. We'll be back. Whoa, it's the whole computer this time. My preview is working. What? Wait. You know what it is? It's Google with that ram. Dollar shave club. There you go. Hold on. No, my- Directly go to the door for a few bucks a month. My mouse isn't working. It'll give you a great shave every time. Is it the mouse though? Yeah, the mouse click's not working. Hold on, hold on. Can you right click? We might be able to salvage this. Yeah. The mouse isn't working. Okay. I have a mouse in my backpack. I'll be right back. Anyways, Dollar Shave Club. You like my sign? You can learn how to make a better sign on linda.com. But for right now, Dollar Shave Club, you can send razors to your door directly for just a few bucks a month. Most razors cost in store a lot more than that, like triple or even more than triple. You like my sign, Nick? Anyways. You're the worst. You're the worst. Wow! He's trying to do good things for you here right now. I'm trying to help you, Nick. I got it, I got it, I got it. No, no, that one sucks. That one doesn't work. Okay. You can shave time and money by ordering Dollar Shave Club razors and eliminate the pointless trips to the store. You can even get stuff like Dr. Carver's shave butter. You have to do it again. No, this is the best sign. This is the best. Okay, hold on. Dollar Shave Club. No one appreciates me here. I appreciate you. Wow. Okay. Thanks for the water, Nick, and the laptop. Wow, that was it? Yeah! Yes! Sorry, sorry headphone users. Sorry, I was excited. I got excited. I got excited and it worked out badly for everyone. It's not the first time it's happened. So did we cover the vanity link? Dollar Shave Club. Please get two kids..com slash minus. You're a negative influence on him. All right. I'm trying to do the flow of my thing. What's up? Our last sponsor today is Squarespace, designed to help you make- Nick wants us to do redo Dollar Shave Club. Beautiful website. I think we covered the main basics. You get- Squarespace. You get- Build it beautiful. Shaving supplies and they come to your door and it's good. And you go to DollarShaveClub.com slash Linus to- Okay. So- DollarShaveClub.com slash Linus. Moving on to Squarespace, designed to make building a beautiful website easy and affordable for anyone. Their templates, of which they have many, feature responsive design, which means they work great on your desktop, laptop, phone, tablet, whatever the case may be. Your site will be functional and beautiful. As long as you go ahead and put beautiful images on it. I mean, you could make a site about all the different types of vomit that you cleaned up. If you're like a janitor in Vegas, someone might actually visit that. Someone should make that site. That site would go viral. Janitor in Vegas would be amazing. Janitorinvegas.com would actually be kind of amazing. It's disgusting. Yeah, but like it would be the like shock image level viral. Yeah. Interesting. People would want to look at it because it would churn their stomach. So anyway, whatever site you want to make, whether it's a store, a blog, just a little project to work on. It's only $8 a month. And if you sign up for a year, you get a free domain included with your purchase, with your first purchase.

And of course you can do a two week trial with no credit card required to find out if you like their tools. They have 24 seven tech support, which you do get to take advantage of even during your trial. So hey, find out if it works for you. And if it doesn't, then I guess you don't have to use it. But man, it's a heck of a lot better than anything else that we've used in terms of easy website building tools. It's nice. So there's that. All right. So why don't we go ahead and try to actually do this show. Posted by Ah Ming on the forum, the ibtimes.co.uk article here says the US Navy has invented bulletproof glass from clay that could revolutionize screens and lenses. That is some cool stuff. It is made of, what the devil is it made of? Made of magnesium aluminate. It is so much tougher, stronger, harder than glass. It provides better protection in more hostile environments. It cannot crack. It can only chip because of the structure of the material. The cracks cannot spread. They're actually stopped by the rest of the material. Sounds great. When am I gonna have it on my phone? Oh, I don't know, 30 years, because right now it's a military technology. So good luck getting your hands on this. Sounds cool. And it's called spinal, spinel? What? Spinel. Spinel, sure. It's called spinel. It's now spinel. It might be spinal. I'm surprised they even told us about it because it's the Navy. Oh, it's 10 years old. Yeah, it's 10 years. No, no, they'd been researching it for the past 10 years. So the technology has been licensed to a company that has been able to make it in larger quantities to suit any application. And the NRL now plans to share its production method with the rest of the US defense industry. See, so many times in that sentence, it sounded like we were gonna get it, didn't it? When it comes out, it'll be like gorilla glass versus bullet glass. Bullet glass. That'll be the coolest sounding fight ever. I think a bullet beats a gorilla. Probably. I mean, have you ever seen Kongo? Mind you, they had laser guns. So. So no. So no. But King Kong, didn't they take him down with like planes with mounted guns on it? Yeah, so technically that's bullets, but is it- And that's an intense gorilla. Is it really the bullet taking it down if the velocity of the plane contributes to the velocity of the bullet? Because would a gun mounted on the ground have been able to take him down? Would it have been able to penetrate him? Or does the fact that it was mounted on the plane assist it? I don't think so. I think it's the plane is moving so much slower relative to the speed of the bullet. You are moving so much slower. Dang it. Yes, actually. That is why when you run forward, your bullets don't do more damage. Unless they do. I would love to know. They do, they're going faster relative. So they are doing more damage. It's just a very small amount. No, I meant in games. Oh, do they code that into games? Yeah, would anyone code that into a game? That would be amazing if they did, I'll say that. Like, I mean, it wouldn't work for something like a rail gun, you know? Like if you're jumping around, because I'm thinking games where you're running, like modern warfare or something, it makes no sense. But in games where you had like jump off platforms, like Unreal or something like that, you can tell how old I am. Best example I can come up with. Where you're moving legitimately fast, sometimes past an opponent. Like if you, if you can like- Just one little extra hit point of damage. Yeah, like can you cap someone with a single round of the machine gun in like, you know, Quake 3, if you're moving faster? That's super dumb. Yeah, I know, but. Okay, so the point is- Especially because like the velocity of the bullet, if it's going straight through, then who cares? And if it's a bullet that doesn't go straight through and it's just designed to tear things up, if you made it go faster and it went through the other end, it could do less damage. No. You just had training on this. Oh, you know what's interesting? This is something I didn't realize. Full metal jacket. So, craters. Everything. How do they work? Magnets. No. So, okay, and I'm sure you guys are gonna be like, holy crap, Linus, you're an idiot. And to you guys, I say, cool. I'm glad you knew this, I didn't. I didn't know how an object this size could make a crater this big. And I kinda went, how the devil does that even work? Basically, it hits with such velocity that the stuff it hits gets the kinetic energy and hits other stuff. And I was like, wow. Did it drop anything in a pool? That makes perfect sense now, yeah. Well, I never thought of dirt as a fluid, but I guess at that kind of a speed, it could almost. At that speed and temperature, it absolutely would. It absolutely would be. Never thought of dirt as a fluid. He knows a lot about the physics stuff. That's cool. You look like you do. You got kind of the brush to the side hairdo thing. He has the brush to the side hairdo thing going on. And he knows more about physics than I do, too. Not as much as him, though. All right, so let's move on to, there's one week left in the HyperX Pimped Out PC giveaway. We actually did a video for HyperX on this PC. It's built by our buddies over at BS Mods. Those are good guys, good old Rod and Bob. So you can win one of these. It's at OfferPop.com, apparently, slash slash campaign, 740147. I've never seen that before in a URL. Yeah. That's a new one for me. I learned all kinds of things today. Oh, this is amazing. Posted by Qwerty Warrior. Are we gonna watch this? I'm excited. Yeah. I'm gonna watch it again. We gotta watch this. We gotta watch the crap out of this. So stunning, the video title is Stunning Real-Time DirectX 12 Demo from Square Enix at Build 2015. Absolutely amazing. So let's go ahead and go to kind of the beginning here. I'm gonna screen share with you guys. I'm gonna get my face out of here. Blah, blah, blah. Looks cool, right? So this has gotta be a cut scene. Of course the video's lagging. Of course. Wow. That's how it's gonna be. That's how it's gonna be when I try and do things. You can see the fraps counter in the corner. There we go. Yeah, when it fades to black. So anyway, there's a flyby somewhere. I think we lost the flyby. This is really disappointing because I really wanted to show this better. Well, you guys are gonna have to go check out the video on your own then. But pretty much they start panning the camera around and they're talking about the hair is amazing. So the feathers are, I forget how many polygons it was. It was something absurd, like eight million polygons in the scene or something ridiculous like that. I can go to some of the stuff where static is fine. So showing the color of the skin. So skin tone is something that's extremely difficult to do because if you just make it a flat surface an opaque surface with a color, it will never look like real skin because skin has blood behind it and blood is red. And so without some translucency to the top layer and some blood showing through and some color showing through, you're never gonna get a natural skin tone. And what's difficult about that is that you have to you have to handle the lighting in real time in order to have moving objects or moving light sources that look realistic. This is bananas. So they move around from side to side. That is being done in real time. Now it's being done in real time on four Titan Xs with an eight core extreme edition. So it's not exactly the, yeah. It's not exactly the kind of rig that most people are gonna have at their house. But this, this one really blew me away. Every single one of those hairs, what did I just do? I right clicked. Every single one of those hairs is an individual polygon. That's crazy. And is being rendered in real time. And it looks way better when it's actually running properly. I really apologize for this. Maybe if we don't run it full screen, it'll run a bit better. I've seen that before. We've always had trouble with YouTube videos. Yeah, I know. I hate that. Anyway, you guys check it out. It is so cool. I mean, it doesn't tell us anything about the plot of the upcoming final fantasy. What is this 15 or something like that we're up to at this point. It's probably terrible. The gameplay might totally suck. But the point is, man, that looks amazing. That's what devs are doing with DirectX 12 now, which means mainstream hardware. Okay, so we're one gener, the high end card is generally one generation behind, or, okay, two high end cards, two premium cards is generally gonna be about equivalent to what our next gen single high end card is. Okay. We've got four of them. So we're gonna have, let's say the scaling's not perfect, because it sure as heck isn't. Let's say we get three times scaling. So we are gonna have in probably two and a half generations or so, and the generations are anywhere from 12 to 18 months these days. So in two and a half generations, so anywhere from three to four years with a high end single card, we should be able to achieve that. Let's say in four to four and a half years. Then a mainstream card is able to do what a high end card is able to do within about another two generations. So we're probably about seven years away from that being what a triple A title that you might actually be expected to buy and run like that looks like. Because that demo, they can do that demo, it's in engine. They can do it in real time on that kind of a machine, but when it comes out for the peasant station, whatever, or even a high end PC, that's gonna be a cut scene. That's not gonna be something that you can manipulate with the camera and move the characters around. And there's no way, I mean, they're controlling so many things off camera. Like it's a limited scene. They're only building up as much of the landscape as they absolutely have to. It's all in that character. But the point is they're able to do this in engine and probably five to eight years from now, we might be able to play a game like that in real time. That's incredible. It's a lot of like napkin math, but. Yeah, and my napkin math is not very reliable. It's a lot of. Speaking of unreliable napkin math, the OP here is Zmule. AMD has come out, I believe as of yesterday, and said that the FreeSync crossfire driver update that they promised in April will not be coming in April. Normally this wouldn't even be news. I mean, we don't like to report on somebody delayed a driver update. Ha ha. That's not really our shtick. That sounded awesome, by the way. But the thing that bothers me about it is like, did you not know that it wasn't gonna pass your QA testing until like the last day of the month you said it was gonna be, a week ago? But look at the mantle release. They did the same thing. I know, but. Like it wasn't even worse? I'm sure it was worse. I think it was pretty much the same thing. Like it was. I thought they announced after the date that it was supposed to be announced on that it wasn't gonna be able to happen. It might've been the same day. You know, it was like the next day or two. Or like the last, maybe it was the next day or two. It was around the same time. Like, come on AMD. And the reality of it is, is this technology is way more complicated than the fancy press decks. And our simple explanations of it would have people believe. Syncing the frame that the GPU generates with the frame that displays on the monitor, doing it with low latency, doing it reliably, allowing that to vary with the scene that the user is looking at as they, you know, whip the camera around doing 360 noscopes or whatever. Like you think about how little latency is involved in this. It's extremely complicated technology. So being able to have two GPUs communicate with each other, communicate with the monitor, accept input from the user. There's a driver, there's game engines. There's all these variables thrown into it. It's no surprise that it's delayed. I just don't like the way this stuff is getting communicated. Like, and it's not like AMD's the only one. Nvidia with the whole G-Sync thing. They're like, yeah, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming. Like, we finally, we finally have G-Sync monitors. I'm way too excited. You do the next topic. The Apple watch costs $85 to make. Posted by- No, I just said earlier when we were mentioning the- Ragnarok Dell. I'm gonna bring up the article on my screen. You wanna talk about this? Which one, Apple? Yeah, Apple watch costs under 85 bucks to make, according to Sync CD-Den. So apparently, $83.70. That includes the, that analysis does not include logistics, amortized capital expenses, overhead, R&D, software, IP licenses, and other costs. So there's a lot of other costs that goes into that. Anyways, most expensive component is the LG display at $20.50, and next is the processor, which adds $10.20. Seriously though, other capital expenses, overhead, R&D, software. The upfront cost of making a million of them. Logistics, shipping it at all. Well, shipping it multiple times. They have to ship all that stuff somewhere, then they have to actually make it. Then they have to ship that somewhere to a distribution center. Then they have to ship that somewhere else, and then they have to, in some cases, ship it to the user, mind you. You pay for that. Forget Apple paying for that. That stage, you can pay for the last leg. I don't know, if you bought an Apple All Sport edition for 350 bucks, are you mad that it costs $85, Bob? Everything that you buy is gonna cost less than... This is pretty good though. I mean, even compared to the iPhone, which is, I think they're making, what does it cost? Like 250-ish, I think, and they sell it for 699. This is like, they're making a killing on this thing. Man, is Apple ever happy that people are buying Apple Watches. And it's a fashion piece, though. I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised at all. I don't know why people are surprised. The whole time, like we sat on the WAN show, other people have said it on forums and in their own reviews. It's all of it, it's a fashion piece. You pay for fashion. Clothes does not cost remotely how much clothes cost at all. Clothes is an insane overhead. That's a good point. And do we have a right to get all pissy about... Did the street die? I don't know. No. No, it looks good to us. Do we have a... A whole bunch of people are saying that it... Oh, apparently we're back. We might have dropped for like a second. Oh, weird. So do we have any right to get all pissy about straight up luxury... We always have a right to get... Straight up luxury items costing a lot. You literally don't need one for anything. It's not like Apple makes food. You always have a right to be pissy. I think we know what kind of food they'd make. Uh, uh. Oh! It's not like Apple makes... Probably healthy things. It's not like Apple makes food and is asking for... Like, clumps. 400% margin on it. And celery and broccoli. They're making watches that are actually not even that functional. Like, yes, they have functions, but none of them really essential, you know? You don't need it. And it's an accessory for something that you already, apparently, have the money to drop, you know, 600, 700, 800. I mean, top end iPhones can be around $1,000 for the high capacity ones. So should they feel bad about taking their margin if people are willing to pay it? I don't know. I don't like it, but I don't have to buy one. It's that simple. If you don't like it... And I'm not gonna buy one. I will. I do have to buy one. I should probably review it at some point. And Lord knows Apple's not gonna send me an Apple watch. No, not at all. I'm not, Linus! Things Apple won't do. Look at this thing that's super stupid. That! Please send me one. You have to gesture to see the time! That's silly! What's up with airplane food? They call their company Apple. They don't even grow any apples! All right. What are we doing next? I don't know. Steam allows developers to ban users from their games? I have to pee. I had this entire thing to drink. So yeah, I'll be back. All right, give me a moment. I'm gonna post this to Twitch chat and then I'll talk about it. Give me a second, guys. Okay. So apparently, Steam is allowing developers to ban users from their games, which I kinda already thought that was a thing. But anyways, you can ban misbehaving or cheating or just disagreeing with the developer. That last part is a wow. I actually had never read that before. I was banned. From what? It was a test, though. So one of my developer friends, we were just playing around and testing to make sure it worked. Totally works! And it's like you're instantly banned. You're instantly banned. Okay, yeah. I'll break it. Yeah, that's a good point. It's pretty fragile right now. Maybe I just did break it. We'll figure that out later. Oh, wow. So you can literally ban people for no reason? Yeah. And do you have to support it at all? I don't think so. From my understanding, you have to think of it, it's in the best interest of the developers to only ban people that are actually causing an issue. Yes, yeah. So I think that's sort of what they're going off of. It's sort of gonna be a self-cleaning system by that way. And I guess that's if you're using like... It's for real. I think it's because there's so many multiplayer games right now on Steam and they just wanna be able to ban... But if that developer was running their own servers, wouldn't they have been able to ban the person anyways? Or does it ban them from launching the game? Yeah, it does ban you from launching the game. Oh, okay. You can't get in the game at all. You can't launch it at all, wow, interesting. Huh. I could see... Yeah, you're right about the it's in their best interest to not ban everyone. I could see some really small shitty company making the wrong move of banning everyone. It speaks out on a forum against their game. So it's like, oh, Bad Rats is a terrible Steam game. And then Bad Rats developers just start banning everyone that says that because it's a terrible Steam game. I would ban people that said that my Steam game was bad. I would ban them for their honesty. Sorry, what are we talking about? That. Oh, cool. So terrible small developers. I did good. Would potentially be a problem. So one of the Twitch chat was like, oh my God, Linus is wearing his glasses wrong. What? What do you mean wrong? How is that wrong? I'm supposed to wear them. Should I have the... People got all mad that one time. They hate that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So should I... You did a whole show like that? You prefer that, yeah. Wow. You prefer this? Is that better? I don't know why they were mad. Is it because your hair could scratch the lenses? We've had this conversation. There is no non-douchey way to wear sports sunglasses. It's impossible. It's true. So you might as well just look like a douche and accept that. I'm okay with it. They stay on my head. This is why I wear them. Speaking of douches, Cyanogen officially ends relationship with OnePlus. Which one of them is a douche? Both? I don't know. I mean, Cyanogen seems to be mostly stand-up guys. I mean, they're trying to... I don't know anything about them. They're trying to take back Android, essentially. They're trying to make it less about the Google experience and more about the Cyanogen experience, which... Wow. I mean, I personally welcome our evil Cyanogen overlords. Yeah. I've replaced them for our evil Google overlords. Anyway. You give all of your information at Google. We were talking about this earlier in the show. Yeah, I know. So I'll give all my information to Cyanogen too. There you go. There you go. I'll give everyone everything. If everyone has your information, there's no reason for anyone to profit off your information. Yeah. There you go. You're going around the whole thing. You are no longer the product because everyone has you. This is a whole new paradigm, guys. The real privacy is no privacy. At all. Brilliant. Brilliant. If we give them everything, no one will want it. Yeah. You can take down Google by making sure that Google and everyone else has literally everything they could ever want to know about you. I think it's a matter of time until someone... Remember that concept that I've talked about before? Actually, okay. Great example of this would be at the Nvidia G-Sync launch event. I had a backpack with a laptop in it and I had a wifi connection to the hotspot in the conference room. I had an HDMI cable running off of my camcorder into a capture card into the laptop. So I was live reporting, like I was live streaming. Okay. I think it's a matter of time until someone does a Truman Show. Until someone voluntarily live streams their entire life. That's how Justin TV started. Justin did that. That is exactly what Justin TV is. I didn't know. For how long? For, I think it was over a year maybe. Everything though? Maybe not peeing. I don't know about... I don't know. I don't know how in-depth it was. Somebody in chat must know. I think someone will do the whole thing. Was the Truman Show peeing? Was the Truman Show? I don't think so. No, I meant like Truman Show. Truman Show was like, they had a camera crew and like they kept it PG. Like they kept it family safe. I think someone's gonna do a totally not family safe. Basically, Justin just had a helmet on his head and he live streamed his entire life. People are like, that's the exact opposite of the Truman Show. The Truman Show wasn't voluntary. I know. I've seen the movie. I love Jim Carrey. I mean, I did it. He's Canadian. My junior project for my honors stuff in college. I had this thing where I had to have a camera on me for 22 hours a day. 22 hours a day? For three months. For three months. It was awful. It was just, it was my own experiment of what is it like to have no privacy? It was horrible. What is those two hours? Did you use it to... Things? I mean, you know. You needed two hours a day to fab? No, no. There was, for example, one of my professors said no to me filming it. Oh, wow. And then, yeah, just other. So you got your two hours or whatever. Yeah, I get it. Sure. Two hours of fab time is probably what everybody watching this right now does. Yeah, I was just wondering. I'm pretty sure it's during this show. Best time. I mean, if we're gonna go completely off the deep end here, then we might as well. There you go. Oh my God. I had a shower camera, and I covered it completely in wax paper. So technically I was on camera, but it was just like blob of nothing. Yeah. Holy crap. It was there. And every day my worry was that wax paper's gonna fall. Oh. And like. It's like ultimate paranoia. And this was for three months. So did you hand this in or what? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I wrote a report on that. Did anyone watch three months worth of video footage? It ended up getting like, at the end, there were probably 50 or 60 people watching at any given time. It was really creepy. You streamed this whole thing. Oh, this was live. Oh my God. I thought this was local record. This was just recorded though. This was legit live. Okay, well there you go. Wow. You've done it. It was awful. So you're saying you don't endorse it. I do not endorse it, but like, of course I wasn't showing people my tax forms and everything, which is kind of like, if you're gonna show it all, show it all. Yeah. You know? Holy crap. I guess it would be hard to steal the identity of someone that everyone knows. The Chinese government would love you. They would. Well, I also muted it. So it was completely mute. It was just visual. Okay. And so. So if you ever wanted to interact with the audience, did you mind? Did you ever want to? There was no chat room. Did you? Were you doing like gaming Twitch streaming at that point? No, no, no, no, no. This is way more Twitch. This was a long time ago. I think this is, this is basically, I was inspired by Chris Perillo in his doing his thing. Okay. So here's a question. Bob, well it's not a question. Bob did build, you gotta learn how to ask a question. Okay. So he says, wow, no wonder Savidus knows how to do everything on camera. A, I'm not going to ask what exactly Bob to builder means by that. And B, do you think you learned some camera presence? Or that he- I think I did. Cause I was at towards, once I stopped getting over the paranoia, cause you do, you kind of get used to it, right? It's almost like Stockholm me a little bit, right? You're getting used to the cameras being there and they're part of your life. And it's this weird- Stockholm syndrome. I don't think we can't compare it to that. Okay. Yeah. It's, it's, it's, okay. You're not in mortal peril. I get used to the cameras, right? Like I'm just so used to it and whatnot. And so then I would start being like, actually this shot would look better if I was framed differently. And it's like, you get into it being just part of your life. Wow. Such that you want it to be better. Interesting. Really weird. So what you're saying is that- No, this is so cool. That would be Linda.com lesson number one from Savidus. Film yourself for three months, broadcast it on the internet. Now you have nothing to hide. Get completely comfortable with being in front of a camera. Yeah. That's for sure. That happened. I was camera shy, like completely camera shy before that. Interesting. So that sounds a lot more like an endorsement then. Yes. Oh my goodness. Okay. I've got someone asking what stock, S-T-A-L-K-H-O-M-E syndrome is. Actually it's Stockholm like the place. And it refers to the unusual, well, not unusual. It's actually apparently fairly common. But the strange bond that can form between a prisoner and the person keeping him or her captive. So the syndrome is the person who feels like they're bonding with their captor. That's Stockholm syndrome. I really don't know how applicable that is to a camera. You're pointing at yourself. I bonded with the camera. Like I wanted it to be better. Bonded with the camera. Do we have anything else today that's like really newsworthy? We can look around. I don't think the, Microsoft is apparently giving 15,000 people to people who find security flaws in Spartan. Up to, up to, up to. Minimum is 500. Bounties will be paid out at their discretion. I don't really think that's news. In fact, I think you can get bounties for reporting bugs in an awful lot of things. Tesla's doing something like that. Yeah. It's like pretty common practice. Very common, yeah. But Microsoft really wants Spartan to be secure. So that's cool. That's good. You can now embed classic games in your tweets if you thought that that needed to be there. And if, if that was something that you thought that it was important. So. Seriously, what does that even mean? I think he, I think, here, hold on. The internet archive done an amazing job, blah, blah, blah. Have covered everything from MS-DOS games to titles from arcades. Now you don't have to leave Twitter to play some of them. So apparently you can play games like where in the world is Carmen San Diego from within your browser within Twitter. You can play the Oregon Trail. Oregon Trail is actually a pretty good game. No, I agree. That's cool that you can do it on Twitter. Okay. I thought you were giving me crap about Oregon Trail. Okay. I agree. Cause if you're going to like be down on Oregon Trail then you can leave. When are you gonna be kicked out? It's very simple. Oregon Trail is untouchable here. Have you played Oregon Trail? No, I haven't. Yeah, the Oregon Trail. It's actually pretty fun. It's not bad. I like it. It's all right. Do you ever do Yukon Trail? No, I never played Yukon Trail. Yeah. Yukon Trail. I think it's kind of a sequel to Oregon Trail and it's the gold rush. And it's like straight up not as good, but it's newer. Okay. I just remember playing Oregon Trail like back in third grade or something. You stick the discs in and waiting for it to load. Yeah, man. It's so great. I think my favorite disc game. Oh no. I had TIE Fighter on floppy disc. So like that's gotta be it. But I had Dino Park Tycoon on two, three and a half inch floppies. And that was, that game, there was no rhyme or reason. Whatsoever. Basically, like I played that game enough. Dino Park Tycoon was pretty much just random dice rolls in the background deciding whether people came to your park or not. So it's straight up. You could play it exactly. There's like no AI. You could play it exactly the same way. You could build exactly the same park and just like you could invest all your money and buy all the things and just cars wouldn't show up in the parking lot. And like, I'm sitting here going, I have dinosaurs in my park and you can't bring your fricking kids to come and see a Tyrannosaurus Rex. I have a Tyrannosaurus and you're not gonna bother. I'm putting in the effort. Is this relationship not a two way street? When was the last time you went to the Vancouver Zoo? There's no dinosaurs at the Vancouver Zoo. I know, but I'm just saying. Thank you. I'm just saying. They're putting in effort. Okay, Vancouver Zoo is A, not in Vancouver. Yes. It's in Abbotsford. But it's called the Vancouver Zoo. Which is the middle of nowhere. I think it's called the Vancouver Zoo. Yeah, it's called the Vancouver Zoo. Yeah, but you're right, it's not a Vancouver. It's in the middle of nowhere. B, I actually went there three years ago. And I've been to Science World like four times in the last year. Have you heard of Science World after dark? I've heard of it. I've never done it. I actually super wanna go to, do you see the like giant golf ball kind of thing at all? No. I can show you stuff about it. It's like a... It's a world of science. It's a place you can go and there's sciencey things. It's mainly like kid focused. I'll try to teach you some stuff. You can all educationally. Pull yourself up with a pulley and then you can try a more complex pulley and it's easier but you pull more rope. Right. That kind of stuff. Basic physics experiments. Yeah, cool. Stuff like that. They show like little bugs and stuff. I don't know, it's pretty cool. But there's, they have this thing called... Do they pay for a spot here? No, no, no. Okay. There's this thing they have called Science World after dark. And you can go and they like serve drinks and there's more like adult themed. Like you can pair up into teams. Like adult drinks? Yes. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. You can pair up into teams and they'll have like inventors challenges. They'll give you like a bucket full of stuff and everyone gets the same bucket full of stuff. You have to invent something out of it. Make something out of it. Yeah. That's cool. That's pretty cool. I haven't been yet. I want to go though. All right. So this is actually a pretty important question. We've had an internal debate over here at Linus Media Group for months. Well, you know what... No, no, I'm just gonna ask them because the decision's not made. So I mean... But this isn't asking the proper question. What do you mean it's not asking the proper question? Of course it would be... Everyone's gonna be like, yeah, cool, yeah. I haven't talked yet. Okay, so basically quite a while ago, we had talked about doing like LTT themed fans. Like not like viewers. Like computer can fans. Like computer cans. Yeah. When you were typing the question, I was like... Mac Pro. Yeah. How does it work? So that's a joke never gets old. So we had talked about doing LTT themed like colored. So like our black and orange theme fans. And there has been a lot of debate internally about like which one would we choose if we're putting our name on it, then does that completely take away all of our credibility? That's a very important question. This is a really important question. Does it take away all the credibility that you guys see us as having whenever we look at any other fan? Would you still trust us to objectively evaluate a fan? Not that we've actually done it in over a year. But fans often make coolers and other products. So does it create any weirdness for you guys if we do that? And this is something I'm not posting the straw poll yet because I want you guys to think about it for a second. It's actually important. Don't just be like, holy crap, yeah, I'd love to have a fan with a Linus Tech Tips logo on it or whatever else the case may be. We need to know if you guys trust us to do something like this. And it's not decided at this time if it would be a limited edition thing. Like if we do it as a one shot, sort of, hey, if you want an LTT fan, here it is. You don't want it, it's gone. Or if we would do something like this on an ongoing basis, what I can say is that we have no intention of putting our name on anything that we believe to be not fantastic quality and fantastic performance. I'm gonna post the poll now. So I want you guys to tell me what you think honestly because this will impact the decision. And it's something that we can't all agree on. We're not sure. I think we need to, I want the archive viewers to vote on this as well. How do you do that? I guess they could if they go to strawpoll.me4254560, they could. I'm sorry, someone please post that in the comments of the YouTube video. And hopefully in the description. Hopefully people will vote it up. Fred is right down there with no. So anyway, I'll let you guys go ahead and, well, I guess there's not really much left. That's pretty much the show, right? So we'll go ahead and I'll do this again. You know what's really funny is the cord from the mouse that wasn't working is laying across the mouse that I'm using. So whenever I put it down when I'm done, sometimes I put it on top of the cord. So when I first go to move the mouse, the cursor doesn't move. And I'm like, no, no, we lost another mouse today. I've been talking so much today, I've lost my voice. I can't handle this anymore. But that's not. That's a pretty aggressive reaction. Not what happened. Well, it's all happening. It kind of did. I'm internalizing it. I'm internalizing the reaction. I'm a very internal person. Except that was an extremely external. I'm not very outgoing. What? Why Fred? Why Fred? Oh, I don't know. I just picked something. That's how my mind works. Is this poll whether they're gonna buy it or not? Or just whether they're interested in it? Whether they think we should. Yeah. Yeah. That's just, just should we. Should you do it? Yeah. Because it's one of those things where, you know, what I think a really good point that was brought up against it was that even though we haven't done a fan review in, I don't even, I don't even know. Fans are extremely closely related to coolers. They cost, it would cost us over $50,000 for the machine to review fans. Straight up. There's other ways you can evaluate them. You can evaluate them in terms of how well they perform on a cooler. So you can have an anechoic chamber, even just a little one. You can control the temperature in there. You can measure the temperature of a known heat load. And then you can measure the acoustic performance of the fan. This you can do. But to really get a pressure curve from a fan, you need a multiple tens of thousands of dollars piece of equipment. I've seen one once in a real lab. So basically, unless you're kind of going, okay, we're evaluating its performance on this particular cooler or radiator. And we are measuring sound. Unless that's the way the review is being presented, it straight up isn't giving you the entire picture of how the fan performs. So there's that. Fan reviews are extremely difficult, extremely expensive. It's very unlikely we'll ever get back into them. But fans are incredibly closely related to and the companies that make fans are often the same companies as things like CPU coolers. And power supplies. And other categories like power supplies. I mean, with that said, you know, I would love to see the LTT fan end up in like a really great power supply, even if those might not be the same company. I suspect that the company, the separate companies, you know, that own those two products wouldn't want each other's products associated and all that kind of stuff. Basically, the only reason I would ever want to put our name on anything is because I would want it to be, A, I really like our color scheme. And it's an ego boost for me to see stuff that has my name on it. It's an ego boost for Linus. It is. It is. It is 100% like, we're sitting here talking about doing this and Linus is like, I really want to do it. When it spins. Like, why do you really want to do it? Well, because it's named on it. You can put your on it when it spins. No. You know those bicycle wheels where you can have the image show up on the wheel? I wanted to, I- That'd be so cool. He just wants it to say Linus, not even Linus Tech Tips, not Linus Medigr, just Linus. No, I wanted to say, no, I wanted to say Linus Tech Tips. Linus is cool. It's not gonna say that. It could say that. As you spin it up, it like changes phrases. I could have Ed forward me the artwork. Linus is a very nice person. And if I could operate Illustrator- There could be software for it that could send information to the fan and change what it's gonna display. LEDs, like little tiny LEDs on there. And if you type Linus on your computer- Such a good idea, actually. Then you could get a little picture that pops up on your phone that's sent from your fan. It would be like, you could connect via Bluetooth to the fan. They're like the Linus motivating fans. Not even the user motivating fan. Because every once in a while it's like, Linus is a good person. Just so that they know. It should have a speaker built into it. With your voice, I am a good person. We could go full on like the Chinpoco Mon South Park episode. So while you're sleeping, it's like, other YouTubers are terrible. Linus is your friend. Subscribe to Linus Tech Tips. Again, if necessary. Make a new YouTube account. Oh God. Subscribe again. Every day. Watch on both YouTube accounts. If we could get every one of our subscribers to make a new account and subscribe again and watch every video twice, we could double our numbers. And we still wouldn't touch what's his name. The guy that makes the videos. The PewDiePie. There we go. Yeah, the PewDiePie. The PewDiePie. Well, there is only one, thankfully. All right. Thank you very much guys for tuning in. Thanks to our special guest, Sevadis. He apparently streams on Twitch. That's a thing. Although, I mean, he says he didn't have camera footage of his streams. So I don't really understand how that works. What? You said you didn't take the camera in the bathroom. Oh. Thanks for watching guys. Tune in next week. Same bat time, same bat channel. Wow. And we'll see you then. You gotta cut the, yeah. Wrong intro. Whatever. I hate you. So old. Those spikes aren't evenly distributed. It was made by Ed. What do you expect? I mean, the Wanshow logo's also, it wasn't aligned in the top corner. Watch, he drops the couch. Look at this jerk. Boom. What a jerk. And he laughs about it. He should carry it. Well, he couldn't tell I did it. So no harm, no foul. No, not them. Christmasonoo Forever!
