 Ehhhh... Ayyy... Got it! Okay, good. And we are now live. We're late, but... We're 8 minutes late. It's not... it's not... yeah. For us, that's really not bad. Like 8 minutes is pretty damn bad, but like, yeah. For our track record, I feel like that's not the worst thing. It's like going one mile over the speed limit. It's like, who cares? Compared to last week where we went 50 over the speed limit and had our car impounded because we were like... We were so late that people got the time zone wrong and thought that we were a little bit early. Because we were like 58 minutes late, so people thought we might have been 2 minutes early. How does that even happen? This is just fantastic. When time zones start coming into play. So good. Anyways, this week we have lots of topics, most of which are AMD based. There is so much AMD news, which is great because their stock needs to come up. So hopefully that goes well, but we'll get into that in a moment. Other than that, we also have... A 200 Hz ultra-wide monitor. And North Korea has started manufacturing their own iPad. What does that look like? I don't know. Let's find out. And we're going to start the intro using the stream deck. So hopefully this works. I just tried it like a million times and it did, so we'll see. That was awkward. Oh no. But it's fancy. But it doesn't work. Taron, it worked before. It worked fine like literally 2 minutes ago. It literally just did. When we weren't live it worked completely okay. Taron, it broke. Well, I don't know what to tell you. Say hi to Taron everybody. Hi. Trying to get this here. Just close. Give us a second. Close the thing. Oh god, it's gone. So this is the stream deck. You're trying to roll the intro? It's very fancy. Did that do it? We can't see now because... no. Well, just click on it. Okay, it worked when we weren't live. Oh, just click on it. Oh, good gracious. That kind of sums things up right now. So there's no Xsplit integration right now. That's the issue. They have OBS, but they don't have Xsplit. What? So I told them that that's important. And like it is. We don't need Windows anything other than 10 or Xsplit. Screw it. Anyways, I fixed it. You can screw things with their screwdrivers. That would be fantastic. Thank you. I fixed it. Also, LTX Tech Connival 2017. If you want to go to that, get some tickets. Meet me there. And Squarespace. Thank you very much to Squarespace. I'm going to shove this back to the top. And then I'm going to try to use the stream deck. Nope. Going to click on it. That worked better. Sometimes an easier solution is better. Not always. Well, I feel bad because I was kind of attacking Elgato on Twitter. Because their stream deck only works with Windows 10. And I don't like Windows 10. But I like the stream deck. And like I have one now because Catboiler bought one for me, which was like amazing. But I can't use it because I don't use Windows 10. Are you currently using the version of Windows that has the current least market penetration, except for maybe Vista? Probably close to that. But like supporting the last two is a fairly general thing. Sure. I think that's fair. But, okay, anyways. I still think it's a super cool product. It is. For a pretty niche crowd, but still a super cool product. So I'm actually not trying to roast them by having it not work right now. There's something going wrong because it was totally working flawlessly when we were offline. And I will completely admit to that. That's how it always happens. It works perfectly when no one's looking. Taron is the one that's trying to do the review on this thing. So if you guys are interested in the stream deck and have any specific questions about it or anything like that, hit Taron up on Twitter. Do you know what his handle is? I don't know handles off the top of my head. It's at Taron VH. Yeah, that sounds right. So at Taron VH on Twitter, if you have any specific questions about the stream deck, he will vet those, see if they're important enough, and maybe include them in his review. But to start the show, we've got AMD news, not stream deck news. The first of the main AMD news topics is AMD announces new Threadripper details, and these are pretty freaking juicy. You want to start firing through them? I'll get this on screen. Yeah. So Threadripper is confirmed to be half of an EPYC processor. And I had when I first read this, I had a slide, Gary Johnson moment where I didn't I thought it was an acronym, but it's not. It's just EPYC spelled with a Y because it's supposed to be their super high end thing. So we're looking at 16 cores and 32 threads on the top end made of two processor dies. So that's pretty interesting. All products feature 64 lanes of PCI Express with 60 of those coming off of the chipset. For reference, the top end of the new Intel i9s on the other side are 44. So you're getting quite a bit more with this. All products featuring DDR4, Quad Channel RAM, pretty standard. 16 megs of level 3 cache and X399 chipset. Which is so annoying. Yeah, because I saw this. I had yet another moment like that where I saw X399. I'm just like, is Intel releasing like two families of chipsets back to back because of 299, but they're not. This is an AMD thing. So yeah, I wonder if they're just trying to zet Centel with the naming a little bit there. Ours is 100 better. Yeah, and you're not going to want to name your next platform this one because we already had it. Yeah, exactly. The naming schemes for the last few years. I can't even get over it. And I know you guys are probably even tired of hearing it at this point because I feel like every single video that a product has a stupid name. Like the Surface Pro instead of being the Surface Pro 5 or almost any Razer laptop at this point. Like it's just it's so frustrating that all the reviewers freak out about it. I don't know how interesting it is for the viewers, but like just I don't know. At some point, I'm just expecting someone to get sick of it like a new company start model name company name one company product name one one two three four. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, perfect. SKU one product one done. Why not? We've made 500 products. What is this product's name? 500. It's like Intel's first ever processors was what the 40 04. What happened to one through 40 03? Like I know there was a reason behind it, but still, you know, anyway, but OK, so there's a new there's a rumor about the Threadripper. And that rumor is that the Threadripper might be under one thousand dollars, which due to the, you know, more recent news from the Intel camp is a little bit cheaper. The 16 core version of the core, which is either the top of the top end is 18 cores and cost two grand. Yeah, the 16 core. I don't know the pricing off the top of my head, but you have to think it's at least a fifteen hundred dollar part. You know, so this is going to this is going to be quite a bit cheaper. Yeah. And like this isn't this is a like a random tweet leak kind of deal thing. If it even is a leak, this is a little loose. But yeah, I don't know. A forty nine is insanely cheap for what you're getting. And the thing is that that sounds like a move AMD would try to pull. So I'm not even like way too it doesn't seem unrealistic. This seems like something they would do. I mean, there's also the whole IPC argument and what single threaded like. Yeah, there's more to it for sure. But, you know, at the same time, Ryzen has been mostly good as far as single threaded so far. So you have to think, OK, then then we've got even I'm just going to try to power through some AMD news here. Hopefully everyone wants to hear about AMD stuff. I do. It's kind of what's interesting right now. So AMD trims prices of the Ryzen 7 1700 and the Ryzen 1700 X. So I showed that to you guys on stream. The current price of the 1700 is three hundred and nineteen dollars. That's going down by 10 or sorry. The current price is three twenty nine. That's going down by 10 to 319 are a major difference. But the three 1700 X, which was three ninety nine, is going down by 50 bucks to three forty nine. And the 1800 X has a little bit of a smaller change. It's going from four ninety nine to four sixty nine with a savings of thirty dollars. That that 1700 X discount is pretty sick, actually. It's pretty substantial. It's just like booking a hotel at Disney World. The more expensive thing gets the bigger discount when it goes on sale. And that's kind of what's happening here. Well, not entirely. Not entirely. But it is the most expensive. You're not going to you're not going to say this much on the very low end though. That's I think, you know, fifty dollars, you know, get yourself get yourself a triple A title. Get yourself a few 12 packs of Mountain Dew. Get yourself whatever else you're into. Fill the mini fridge. There you go. There you go. But yeah, I know. I think that's pretty cool. I feel like I'm replacing my nightstand with a mini fridge. I'm thirsty middle of the night. Just reach over. My fridge is all the way downstairs now. It's like it's a new Coca-Cola. Yeah, perfect. Yeah. But like I think that's pretty substantial. Four hundred to three fifty. There's that like golden number that's like around it was three hundred for a long time. But then I think there's been some inflation and now it might be like three fifty. Right. But for a long time, like consoles were right around three hundred. Like a lot of like nicer things that you could get for like your house, like different tabletop things and whatnot, tried to aim at like three hundred because it was a digestible but relatively expensive item that you could buy. But like a digestible, like you could save up for this over a little bit and get it and it would probably be fine. Yes. That's the trick in this industry, right? You want to price things high but not too high. And there's always a spot to hit there. So I think that might help them actually getting to that three fifty number. That's pretty cool. And on top of that, AMD Vega release dates. This is cool. The Vega Frontier Edition card will be available on June twenty seventh. Can we bring up a picture of that because it looks pretty. Hopefully they've got it in here because it. Yeah. That's pretty cool. I like it. You might not be able to tell from the screen cap there, but that little yellow thing on the upper right is it's actually a cube. It lights up. It's illuminated. The R of course for Radeon. So it also comes in a kind of a reverse color scheme. I think they have a gold one with like a blue cube on it. So stupid click bait stuff. Come on, Anantek. I've always hated like not to rag on Anantek while we're here, but I've always hated when there's article click bait ads on a site that is based around articles. Because it makes you think that like reverse hair loss with this brilliantly simple whole remedy. Anantek is now talking about like this secret that will cure your diabetes and this ear tinnitus ending trick thing. And like weird other stuff. Hashtag fake news. Except it literally is. Yeah. But yeah. But yeah, that's a pretty sick looking card. I'm also stoked that it's coming soon because I feel like Vega has been this like cherry that's been dangled in front of everyone for so freaking long. And it's been actually really annoying because people have been asking me forever on my stream, on this stream, on all the comments on all the videos on the forums everywhere. Like, oh, should I buy this card or should I wait for Vega? And it's been like, I have no idea because I don't know when Vega is coming. Information has been a little bit hard to come by. I actually wonder if they're going to have that sick looking shroud for the consumer line because the Frontier Edition is more of a professional's card, you know, so it's not really for gaming. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like the Founder's Edition. There's a lot of originality going on over there. X399, the Founder's Edition. Now they need to combine the two, the X399 Founder's Edition. Oh, good Lord. Or sorry, Frontier Edition. Frontier Edition. I'll get it right. Sorry about that. Frontier Edition. Come on, guys. Anyways, that's actually super cool. I'm really stoked on that release date. And I'm assuming that because like as far as I know, we don't have one yet. So I'm assuming that means that we're getting one fairly soon and we'll be able to like screw around with it, which will be cool. I look forward to it. Yeah. The Frontier Edition of AMD is AMD's first batch of Vega based cards marketed towards early adopters, completely unlike the Founder's Edition. Yeah. OK. A price has not been announced. So that sort of sucks. It's going to be if it's a pro level card, it's going to be it's going to be like quadruple level probably. So it's going to be pretty high. It will be many dollars. It's not going to be cheap. Some Intel news. Finally, Intel getting on the board. So much AMD news. Intel announces Skylake X bringing 18 core HCC silicon to consumers for two thousand dollars. They've also simultaneously announced Kabylake X, which is very confusing. Yes. So Skylake X is like the super high end and then Kabylake X, at least for now, is going to be I think mainly four core eight thread i7s. Right. Which going through puberty there. Apparently. Yeah. But so we're not used to seeing four core eight thread SKUs being considered an enthusiast product. But apparently now at least some of them are. So that's happening as well. Yeah. It's very confusing naming schemes. But yeah. Top end i9, 18 cores, 36 threads, two thousand dollars. It's cool. But I think this is going to be an interesting fight. And I think at least as far as our viewers are concerned, AMD is probably going to win this fight because just the value proposition of those dollar amounts is pretty intense. I feel bad for anyone who bought a 6950X with its puny 10 cores. Because they're selling a 10 core i9 as the lowest end i9. They have SKUs going from 10 to 18 cores. So if you spent that much money on a 6950X, I feel bad for you, son. I got 18 problems, I guess. I got, yeah. But only having 10 isn't one of them. I failed that pretty hard. Let's revisit this joke. I feel like this one is worth processing in the background for a few minutes. Yeah. OK. Cool. Speaking about processing in the background, possibly not happening anymore. Elon Musk to Trump, you quit Paris so I quit you. This is some political jargon, so we're probably not going to spend too much time on this. But Elon Musk and Disney boss, didn't know about that part, quit Trump's business panel over the Paris pullout. Basically what happened, there was this thing called the Paris Accord, it was agreed to last year. It was a ton of countries getting together saying, hey, let's do something about global warming. Then Trump got elected and he said, no, I ain't about that. He's going to try to pull the US out of it. And Elon Musk was not very happy about it. So Elon is no longer sitting on, I think President Trump had like some sort of technology council advisory group thing. Elon is not too happy with the Paris decision, so he's pulling out. And that's pretty much that. Yeah. So Elon's tweet said, I'm departing presidential councils. Climate change is real. Leaving Paris is not good for America or the world. And there you go. Although in counter news, because I'm trying to explain the whole playing field, I believe there was like a surge in the stock market or something. I have no idea. The stock market did well or something. If you're interested in that, go check it out somewhere else. We're not very good at covering political topics. That's not our MO. Correlation is not causation, or is it? Decide for yourself. Also, I should be noted, however you feel about this issue, the Paris Accord actually, to my knowledge, it doesn't mandate that the signatories actually do anything. So it's not like, oh, you must reduce carbon emissions by X percentage by year Y or there will be consequences. I don't think it does anything like that. But whichever way you feel about this, there you go. This is another like kind of political topic kind of deal where we're probably not going to dive into it too far, but you guys might be interested. So we're at least going to give you like the kernel so that if you are interested in it, you can go try to find the whole popcorn. I don't know where I was going with that. The whole piece of popcorn. Yeah, there we go. Well, one is a precursor and the other is, yeah, I guess that works. Yeah, okay. I don't know. So this is US approved social media background checks for visa applicants. So the reason why we thought this might be interesting to you guys is social media, I guess, tech thing, social media stuff. I don't know. No, this is definitely tech. Is it? I mean, it's social media. Sure. But I mean, like, like, do you call someone who's on Twitter a lot a techie? Go on our forums, go on ours, technical, go on any of the major sites that cover tech news. There's always stuff about either privacy or net neutrality, which affects social media and is discussed as a tech topic. So I think it's completely appropriate. Yeah, I've always just thought it's been a little weird, but I do agree with saying it at all. There's a questionnaire which we can check out here in a second because it was linked by the glorious person who made this doc. So here we go. Here's the wow. OK. Yeah, we're not going to look that closely at that. Social media identifier, name, slash handle social media platforms. You can see that right there. So I guess you'd have to declare. I wonder how like what is defined by social media. Please provide your unique username for any websites or applications you have used to create or share content, photos, videos, status updates, et cetera, as part of a public profile within the last five years. So like what qualifies if someone is not from the states and they use Linus Tech Tips dot com, I think they would have to declare their username and the site. Let's just get right down the brass tacks. Well, if you have a Pornhub account, you're leaving comments on that. Does that mean seriously? Does that count? But like I think it would. If you want to embarrass yourself to that point, like because that is in a form, it says status updates, which is just text and then et cetera. There is also the thing where I also wonder how they would find out. Like let's say you just put let's say you just put Twitter. All I use is Twitter. I have a public Twitter handle. You put that down, you declare it. So if you had five other things, would they necessarily know or find out? Maybe they're going to like cross search your handle. They could potentially do that. 52 and find you on Pornhub as well. I don't know. If you're maybe if you're a known person of interest to Customs and Border Protection and you only declare one handle and be like, oh yeah, we need to like look at this guy. So there's this huge like veil of secrecy around it, you know, because you don't know exactly what that information is. It's really vague. Yeah. And it's really vague to the point where like I feel like if you signed up for some random site 4.4 or 5 years ago and completely forgot about it. And tons of people have accounts just around the Internet. They forgot about it because they don't need. Oh, I want to access an article and I have to sign up for a stupid free account. I'm never going to use it again. But it does say, though, that this isn't like an auto request. It says that additional information would only be requested when the department determines that, quote unquote, such information is required to confirm identity or conduct more rigorous national security vetting. So this sounds like they're going to ask you if you're already like flagged, if you're already some kind of person of interest to them. It also says if you're unsure of the answer to a question, please provide a response to the best of your knowledge. So I don't feel like you're going to get crushed to the vast majority of dealings with the federal government is you're not going to get in ridiculous trouble as long as you're trying to tell the truth. Like, that's kind of how the IRS operates. You know, they don't they don't typically come after people for honest mistakes. They really go at you if you're if they think you're like intentionally like lying or defrauding. So don't forget Linus Tech Tips dot com. If you're trying to get a visa in the U.S., make sure you list that as a social media platform. I want as many U.S. officials searching my site for people's usernames as possible. Just because it sounds fun. OK, so if we get guys in like dark, dark suits showing up one day at the door and sunglasses. Awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Super cool. I'm excited. What was the chat saying about this? I kind of want to know. I have no idea. Probably nothing good. Will do. Yes. Thank you very much, Roy. I appreciate I appreciate your your willingness to do so. Yeah, at least I'm a U.S. citizen. Yeah, I feel the same way. I was I was actually crossing the border the other day. I was driving down to Bellingham and I got a pretty gruff gruff border officer. I gave him my passport. He saw it was from the U.S. His whole tone completely changed. Oh, welcome back. He just started. He just started becoming super chill with me because because I have B.C. license plate. So he must have thought I was Canadian, but he saw that and it was just it was so funny. But another person come over the border to pick up a darn package. So many of them. Oh, Lord. OK. My favorite question is what are you coming over for? I'm just picking up a package. Sir, it's it's 3 a.m. Why are you picking up a package? I don't sleep, man. Well, you know what I would say if I were you and this would also not be lying is that the border weights are much less. Yeah, there's a few. I've had to get into it a little bit more a couple of times. But that's that's a big one. There's I can just roll up and there's usually only nobody or one or two people in front of me. Greater Vancouver has two major highway border crossings and they're both usually extremely busy. So yeah, like quite a while. Yeah. Next up is North Korea's iPad, which is just I. Air quotes iPad. Yeah. Yeah. So a North Korean company named Wow. You can't milk young. Sure. Milk Young I.T. released a new tablet and they called it the iPad. So that is not. Yeah. OK. Good. It's it says in the corner of this photo actual iPad designed by Apple in California. I like how designed by Apple in California made it all the way to that subtext. Goodness. OK. OK. I think the reason why I made it there was because he was trying to be like making a joke like. Yeah. It's obviously a joke. Like it's not made by Kim Jong Un and Pyongyang. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Apple hasn't commented on this development, its use of its most popular trademarks. And while the company undoubtedly isn't pleased with it, it's unclear what kind of legal action it could take against a company that's controlled by the North Korean government. I guarantee you they don't care. Their lawyers don't care. I don't think there's really any significant market in North Korea for Western consumer goods. At the same time, you know, there is a market in North Korea. Yeah. There's not going to be for that. This isn't going to be shipped out in North Korea. It's probably going to be one of those dealings like with their radios and TVs over there. Oh, it's set to like three channels that only broadcast government approved like content and propaganda. This is probably going to be the same thing where they have it running through like a firewall just for North Korea. Yeah. So Apple's not going to care. It doesn't matter. So it can. This is fantastic. It is a one gigahertz CPU, five hundred twelve megabytes of RAM, eight gigs of internal storage, 16 gigs of external storage and eight inch display. And it promises six hours of battery life. Honestly, that is not quite as bad as I expected. The next part, though, is rather fantastic. It's currently unknown what kind of apps the device will be able to run in a region like North Korea, which is not surprising. But it has a total of twenty eight websites that it can access. That's a pretty good number of websites. It's probably like eight gigabytes is also that's a lot of compressed JPEG. I think Linus owns more than twenty eight domains just because he likes buying domains. Yeah. So how many images of the dear leader is that? Eight gigabytes. And how much how much how much would like, you know, there has to be a minimum quota. Like you have to have a certain percentage of your storage on your tablet filled with various angles and various images of the leader. Yes. And like the the the the the the the the the the game is probably something like it's like Space Invaders. It's like, you know, Kim Jong Un, like a little fighter fighting the capitalists or something like that. Yeah, it's probably something like that. So shooting American flags in an asteroid simulator. Bastards. Yeah. But so so yeah, that's happening. That's pretty epic. Can Apple even do anything to stop this? I seriously doubt it unless Apple decides to get an army, which at this point they could probably do. They probably could. But I mean, I mean, again, like if if you're going to say, OK, well, this violates some sort of like intellectual property statute with North Korea or not statute, but agreement that North Korea is probably not even a signatory to. They still have to enforce their laws inside their own borders. It's kind of like, you know, Team America, World Police or Hans Blix comes in. Yeah. Or what? Or we'll write you a letter saying how angry we are with you. So, yeah, probably nothing's going to happen. And some folks in North Korea will be getting their on commie pads. So, yeah, there you have it. After that, we've got a Zeus with an announcement of a 35 inch ROG Swift PG 35 VQ display with quantum dots and a 200 hertz refresh rate. My question is I'm actually getting a little bit disturbed by this. Asus, where the heck is the 4K HDR G sync beautiful Swift that they announced at CES that I saw in person working? You know, why can't I buy one? I tweeted them and they just liked it. They didn't say anything. Oh, the long troll. OK. Well, you know, you know better than to see a prototype at a trade show and then be like, oh, where can I buy this? It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Maybe only work for the length of the show and it like died five seconds after everyone left. You don't know that. Funny story about seeing the prototype thing. In 2012, just before Christmas in 2012, I decided that I was good. This was, remember 2012. This is early Kickstarter. This is when people still like believe that things might happen. I saw a hammer on there. It was super cool. It's called the Colbar hammer. Let me see if I can find this. Is this like the two handed greatsword? The Colbar. Here it is. Colbar hammer by Lance Bram. Oh, my goodness. Let's see. Was I right? Was it 2012? Whoa. This thing does look pretty cool. Yeah, hit updates. So yeah, expected delivery of June 2013. And my gift to him was the backing of the project. Project launch April 25th, 2013. OK, so it was 2013. But it's been a long time. But it's been a while. Yeah. So I backed the Colbar hammer. I decided to back this thing for my dad. It's super cool in theory. It usually I'm not into like multi-tool stuff, but this one actually looks pretty sweet. You can see like a lot of people covered it. You can turn it into a crowbar instead of just being a hammer. It's a socket wrench like it's a whole bunch of different things. And it's their destruction tools. You can take them apart completely. It's amazing. Like, it's pretty cool, right? It's still not out. But the best part about this, because most Kickstarter projects, if it's been like four years, they would have just given up. Right? Colbar has not given up at this point. If you go to their updates tab, which I check every once in a blue moon, just out of interest. Fifth month, 10 day, 17th year. They are still giving updates. For backers only, so I can't see it because I'm not logged in. But dang. It's basically a modular hammer. Why is it taking so long? Like does it have a V-tooth or something? Like why is it? And yeah, that's the other part. Okay. So the whole reason why I got to this story is in their demonstration videos, they have one. And they like the guy like jams it in a little thing and hangs off of it. And like they do tons of tests with it. So I'm like, okay, you know what? I'll back this. Because they physically have the product and I can clearly see that it is working. Maybe it was a very, very, very well done hologram. At this point, I have to wonder if it's been four years. That thing crushed my soul. That destroyed any possibility of me being into Kickstarter. That like fueled the Kickstarter, Kick Farted series. It's funny because it's a literal hammer. So it smashed your faith. It smashed my faith. In Kickstarter. There you go. Just buy a hammer and a multi-tool. I know. I was trying to like, my dad is totally of the persuasion. And I agree with this, to be completely honest, of just buy the damn tool, use it till it breaks and then buy another one and like toss them around, do whatever. The job is what's important. But try to not buy one that's like too crap. But like he's not super into like, oh, this is such an amazing tool. He just like wants something that he can do the job with. So I was going to try to buy him something that was above the tier that he normally shops at. So that he doesn't have to be the one that buys it. So that he doesn't feel bad about spending too much money on something. But it's also not like God tier. Yeah. It's just kind of a cool nifty thing. And then, nope, never got it. Completely failed. Someone in chat said, I hate sand. Yeah. It's coarse and it gets everywhere. It's funny every time. It is. It absolutely is. Speaking of funny every time, every single time it's funny. We're going to go to looking at channel super fun on float plane. So here we go. This is a float plane club where the channel is super fun. Meanish YouTube comments. This was actually genuinely hilarious. I had a great time with this one. So everyone that you can see in the thumbnail right now, including the one and only Nicky V. And John who's sitting right beside me. Read through comments on various platforms and discuss how mean they may or may not be. You know, it's a great video, but Colton could have picked far meaner things. There's some pretty intense things. Some of them are brutal. Dennis had some pretty brutal ones. This one on screen. How to be Dennis. Be terrible at everything. Cheat and then lie about cheating. That honestly sounds a little bit more like Linus. With Linus is like the perpetual. If you watch Kenny versus spinning Linus on channel super fun is Kenny. I can't remember a channel super fun where he did not cheat in some way or attempt to cheat. Yeah, I think the last one with the bad scrapyard wars. Am I right? Yeah, the batting cages wasn't a competition because we were just literally hitting balls. But other than that, yeah, every time so you can see it scrubs pretty quick, which is cool. So you can watch this video now if you're interested, which is cool. And you can even download to watch it later. You can, which is awesomely fantastic. Scrapyard Wars. If you guys have been enjoying that, the last episode of scrapyard wars will be on float plane this weekend. They've been on full plane every Saturday so far, but the main editor for them, Ed Zoll, got pretty freaking sick actually. So the next one is going to be slightly delayed. It will be coming out on Sunday instead of on Saturday. But it is still coming on float plane first. So you can see the actually insane, probably the most insane conclusion of any scrapyard wars we've had. The last season of scrapyard wars, season four, was my favorite one. But in terms of conclusions, this last conclusion is insane and by far the most nutty freaking balls conclusion we've ever had. Like no question about it at all. You don't know, do you? I've only watched through the first episode. I have not had time to watch. I fully intend to watch the rest of them. I'm not just saying that, but... Everyone that was a part of it has been trying to stay rather closed-lipped about it around the office, because a lot of people around the office are watching. If I don't have much going on this weekend, I might just sit down and binge the last couple of them. Yeah. So yeah. I think this week, not to bash on my own platform, but I think this week a fair amount of the things that were released were from Computex, so they're on both platforms. But we do have a few different things. That meanish YouTube comments on Channel Superfund is genuinely hilarious. Would highly recommend that. There's some tech quickie stuff on here. Why do people still use fax machines? If you guys like the sketch that we did for our scanners, fast as possible, you're going to love this one. So yes, why do people still use fax machines, featuring the one, the only, Dennis Liao, currently on Float Playing Club, just went up today. What? Yeah, it's you. Hey, there he is. This is coming out of a phone. I love it. Have you ever had this happen to you? This is the first little bit of this. You're sitting there minding your own business, and you go, what's that strange ticking noise? Oh my goodness, it's on BOMB. Oh my god, it's a bomb. So you call your friend who- Nope, that's it. Anyways. That's your teaser. And there's another episode about SEO, I believe, which isn't as exciting, but it's still very interesting. A cool topic. Tech Wiki's interesting because it doesn't have the sex appeal of certain channels, but it's more interesting than a lot of other things. Luke has basically summed up my entire life. What? It's not what I was trying to say. Well, you said- Anyways, if you need a website for whatever reason, you can go to Squarespace and get your website on Squarespace. You can save 10% by using offer code WAN. They have 24-7 live chat and email support. It is $12 a month. And if you subscribe for a year, you get a domain rolled in with that. They have a commerce module so you can sell your stuff online. They have a cover page feature so you can have one nice, beautiful scrollable page. And everyone can now publish content in the Apple News format directly from their Squarespace blog module, which is pretty cool. It's automatically available to millions of potential viewers. This thing dynamically changes in a responsive way to basically whatever screen size and whatever format you need. It's all done for you. It's fantastic. Did you talk about commerce already? Yes, I did. If you're using Squarespace and you want to host an online store, this is new. This is a pretty recent update to the platform. They now support lots of different new currencies. Oh, cool. So if you want to take Israeli shekels, if you want to take pesos from Mexico, if you want to take New Zealand dollars, Singapore dollars, even rubles from our good friends over in Russia, you can do that now. That's really cool, actually. So squarespace.com slash WAN offer code WAN 10% off. Moving on, if you need to fix some stuff, I actually use this thing very often at home now that I have one at home. But I fix this ProTech Toolkit. You've probably seen them in a lot of our content. We use them in Scrapyard Wars. Yeah, 64 bit driver kit magnets, which is actually really nice. The lid for the driver kit magnetically goes on. And when you take it off, you can use it as a parts tray, which is pretty sick. It has precision ESD safe tweezers, including a pair of reverse tweezers. It has a rather wide variety of plastic opening tools that are better quality. Let me see if I actually have one here. Yes, these things are beautiful. Some of the older ones that they had were still really cool, and I liked them a lot. But they weren't as durable as these ones are. So after you use them a few times, the edge would get a little chewed up, and then you might have some issues getting through some thinner electronics. But these new ones have been able to withstand everything we've thrown at them, which has actually been really cool. They give you three, which is pretty awesome. So even if you do manage to wear through a few of them. They've really been a lifesaver because the current trend in laptops, tablets, mobile phones has been, let's make this thing as difficult to user service as possible. So the opening tools really help. So those are like manual intervention openers, basically. It's backed by iFix. It's lifetime warranty, which is awesome. Buy it because it's awesome or don't, and you still get access to all of their free repair resources, which is awesome. So even if you have your own driver kit and your own tools, if you want to get into repairing stuff and you don't want to buy this, you can still go to iFixit's website and learn how to take things apart, which is awesome. They use their own toolkits on there, so it's easier if you have their toolkit. But yeah, head over to iFixit.com slash Linus and use offer code Linus at the checkout to save five bucks on a purchase of 10 bucks or more. There you go. And if you're in Canada, this is actually a pretty cool note. If you're in Canada, check out amazon.ca for cheaper shipping options, because sometimes we have sponsors and we talk about buying it or whatever, and people in Canada where we're from are like, guys, you're from our own region and shipping sucks for this. So they're offering another option, which is pretty cool. Also, LTX, if you want to show up to a weird place and meet us weird people and do weird things, you can go you can buy tickets for LTX. I'm going to move to that thing. There we go. So you can go to the worst URL to say out loud ever, which is ticketrocket.co slash event slash details slash nine seven two four six slash LTX dash 2017. Come meet me. We can talk about burger trivia. Oh, my God. You should have a trivia booth. We'll figure something out. That would actually be awesome. I'm doing VR stuff. Terrence editing a video. You can do the like what is that GeoGuessr? Yeah, no promises, but it's a fantastic idea. I'm going to look into it. I actually like that a lot. That would be freaking great. And back to the real show. OK. What is there even to talk about still? This week was weird. Most of the like interesting news from this week is in literal videos. That line is hosted from Computex. But Microsoft has rolled out not one, but two bad builds on the Windows Insider program. Thanks, guys. It's like every so often they're like they remember, oh, we're that company that made Windows me. We should remind people that from time to time. They do things like this. Windows me. Millennium Edition. No, I know. I just don't hear it called that very often. But yeah, that's kind of how they marketed it. Like me. Oh, it's my version of Windows for regular people in the year 2000. Except it wasn't. It just made everyone very, very mad because it didn't work. Yeah. The marketing was terrible. But Windows 7 professional update. So, yeah, I like I don't know. And now people in the chat are saying or appear to think that I said Windows meme Emmy Emmy. Oh, my God. Which it kind of was. Someone needs to make a custom Microsoft OS that is skinned all with memes. It's like every day when you log on, there's like a different Courage Wolf as your background. He's saying different things. Cortana is advice dog. Is it just advice dog? Yeah. Yeah. It should just be. It's been a while since that meme was popular. But like, yeah, you could even do like a two in one with that. You could have it be advice dog, but it could start every sense to you with your dog like the exhibit me. There you go. Yes. Whenever your system has like a pretty heavy slowdown and then comes up with like an error, it can be slowpoke. That'd be good. Please. Someone do this. That would be fantastic. You're you know what? You're like you're you're you're developing an idea for another Linus Tech this video as we speak. The custom meme. Yeah. There you go. Oh, geez. John's picks. What is this? This is just crap. I sent to James. OK. What is this? Tell the people. Tell the people. OK. Well, first thing I will do is I did find this earlier and I did read it, but I've been busy since then. So let me click on the article first and write to speak freely about engineering is subject of First Amendment lawsuit. An engineer was fined five hundred dollars for discussing traffic light engineering without a license. So this happened down in Oregon, which is not too far from here. So I heard about apparently this guy sent the state some advice about traffic light timings. Specifically, he wanted to make yellows longer, which is which obviously can be very important for traffic flow reasons and also not to surprise people when they think they have enough time to drive through an intersection. They actually don't anyway. So but instead of the state saying, hey, thank you for speaking out concerned citizen. Let's have a look at this. They instead slap them with a five hundred dollar fine for doing something along the lines of practicing engineering without a license. Now, as some of you know, I went to law school. I have a law license, which is currently inactive because why do I need it right now? But I do have one from North Carolina and there and in every other state and also up here in Canada. You can't do a thing called unauthorized practice of law. You can't practice law or give legal advice without a license against the law. So for engineering, I also believe every state has like a professional license by engineers, licensing by French years where they're doing the same thing. But just like I can sit here on the WAN show and generally discuss legal topics like I am doing right now, actually, without giving anyone specific advice. You would think an engineer could do the same thing, but the state of Oregon is saying to him, no, you can't even talk about it without a license because I think this guy doesn't have his license yet. So this is a huge problem. Ended up going to court. He ended up suing the state of Oregon for breach of his First Amendment rights, which is free speech. You can say what you want to. And I think this is still going on, but they basically said that he can talk about this as long as the lawsuit is pending. So that is where we are with this. OK, yeah. Interesting. I don't understand legal stuff, so I have concerns and questions, but I'm just going to move on because they're probably juvenile. Big leagues. Ten million dollar League of Legends tournament. Holy butt chunks. Team applications for the new LCS open today. The buy in price is ten million dollars. Players on the ten selected teams get a guaranteed salary of at least seventy five thousand dollars. Wait, wait, wait. The buy in is ten million? Yeah. The buy in for the World Series of Poker isn't even ten million dollars. How does that? Jeez. Pretty nuts. Yeah. Riot Games said its end goal is to create a strong and stable system that's profitable for pro players and provides entertainment for fans in the long term. And I guess they plan on do that by charging ten million dollars for ten teams, which is a hundred million dollars. How many people on the team? Like there would be five active players. But you have like a roster where you have more. Coach and ventures. Like there's there's other stuff going on. Once the ten teams are determined, they are in the league for good. Riot says it will offer incentives to teams that play well and penalize the squads that purposefully stay at the bottom of the ladder. What? Teams that tank first for on purpose for some reason. Why? OK, so admittedly, I don't really watch e-sports. It's been a very long time since I've played LOL. But what I can say in in more traditional sports, what certain teams at times are, especially in the US and Canada, it doesn't really work this way in Europe, but in the US and Canada, teams will be accused of tanking if they have no hope of making the playoffs. So they end up taking for a better draft pick. So whether this has ever actually happened is a matter of debate. But like there's accusations of it happening to pop up every now and then. So maybe it's something like that. You get some kind of extra benefit. Are you draft picking in League of Legends, though? I don't think so. I don't think that's how it works. We're not talking about draft picks in terms of like when you're drafting heroes for that game. I have a lot of people that don't watch sports at all. Yeah, we're talking about like the NFL's college player draft where the worst teams can pick earlier to help make them better. Pick a player, like a person, a human being, not draft picking like, oh, let's ban Ezreal or something. I don't know why you do that. I don't think he's very strong right now. Someone says they say not to get relegated, which may be true. So that would be more like a... Not to get relegated? More like soccer. You know about promotion and relegation in soccer? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting. Okay. That's pretty nuts. That is so much... a 10 million dollar buy-in. I wonder how well they're going to do. I don't know. I almost wonder if it would help them to have like teams represent specific areas like real sports or traditional sports and don't assault anybody. I don't see... I have no idea. It's so new. That's like a deeper topic, but I don't think so because I think with esports, it's more of a global thing. And because everyone, basically everyone, is watching online. And you can play from anywhere. Online. Yeah. Like I don't think there's a lot of team... It's just you pick someone who's like personalities you like. Yeah, like I can see a little bit more like national spirit. Like if there was like the American team. That happens a lot in like individual sports. Yeah. A little bit more like traditional individual sports. We did have a Heroes of the Dorm in the US where the larger colleges all entered college teams into this. So there was like a little bit of that. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. Next up, we have the first Ryzen based All-in-One, which is actually pretty crazy. It's a Dell All-in-One. Let's have a look at her. It looks pretty nice actually. Dell Inspiron 277775AIO. It's an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7. Hey, six numbers in a row. All right. Great naming scheme. Pretty freaking nuts. Well, I get the 27's got to be 27. Yes, but even so, like even so. So it's the 77775AIO or 7775, whatever you want to call it. AMD Ryzen 7 chip, Radeon RX 580, and a 4K LCD screen. And it looks pretty sharp. You could actually do some like pretty serious gaming on it with an RX 580. Yeah. Yeah. The chassis very vaguely reminds me of the Surface Studio from Microsoft. Like a little bit, you know, like the way the mouse is, like the way the chassis is. Yeah. Yeah. Some of the 77775, this is worded a little bit weirdly, but I can get through. I'm going to jump away from that actually. Come on, Adantek. Well, I couldn't tell if they were talking. Whoa. I just screwed everything up. At first the diabetes cure, now this. Okay. So despite being, yes. So it's actually the Inspiron 277000 series. The 77775 is a specific version. There's multiple versions of it. The low end version is a quad core AMD Ryzen 5 1400 with an RX 560 with 4 gigs of GDDR5 memory and then 180 watt PSU. But if you jump up to the high end, I believe that one that I just noted is about a thousand dollars. And if you jump to the high end, you get an 8 core AMD Ryzen 7 1700, which I just mentioned, and then a Radeon RX 580 with 8 gigs of GDDR5 and a 330 watt power supply. And I believe you can get up to 32 gigs of RAM with one of these guys. I do hope the lower end one didn't go for like the full like ball and 4K display because there's no way you're going to get 4K consistency with the 560. It does say some models have the 4K, so I seriously doubt that the low end one is 4K. So the bare bones one is a grand. So there you go. Here we go. If we scroll down a little bit, they do a they do a better job. So we're a display or screen display. There we go. Yeah. So the cheaper one is 1080p. It's still IPS. So it's still going to be a pretty good looking display, but it's going to be 1080p. Yeah. 1980 by that's got to be a typo. Should be 1920 by 1080. Yeah, that's pretty interesting, isn't it? I think that is a typo. Yeah. In terms of USB connections, which is like a topic of much debate these days, I do see type C, which is good. So they have two USB 2.0, which is fine. They have three USB type A or sorry, they have three two USB 2.0 type A, which is fine. Three USB 3.0 type A, which is good. One USB 3.1 type C, which is solid. And then one USB 3.1 type A, which is also pretty good. The webcam is 720p, which is like actually a little disappointing, like still seeing stuff showing up in 720p is it's running Windows 10 home 64 bit, which is about what you'd probably expect. It's kind of cool, though. It looks sharp. I'm happy to see AMD getting their products and stuff like this. So that's cool. Yeah, it also looks a little bit more elegant than some past gaming AIOs you've seen. I mean, granted, a lot of that is more the GPU manufacturers, but even so. And I think part of this is that I don't think it's heavily aimed at gaming. It's a thing that you can game on if you want. It's powerful enough. The higher end one is definitely powerful enough that you could, but it looks more like it's designed for like, oh, if you wanted to edit some video or photos. Yeah, Lonex in the Twitter chat says 580 for 4K casual use is great, and I would agree with that. So yeah, yeah, there you go. Okay, moving on. We're a little thin on topics. Are we talking about the facial recognition thing with the monkeys? We're going to talk about that. Where's that? It's down here, right? It's under John's picks, which is why I didn't know what the heck was going on. Hashtag shameless. You want to start talking about it? I'll get it on screen. So there's an article in The Guardian here about scientists discovering how the brain recognizes faces by reading the minds of monkeys, more specifically analyzing their brain wave patterns. Yeah, it's a little different, but you know. And what they did was they looked at their brain waves and decoded faces that the monkey, like human faces that the monkeys remembered. And you might be able to see it on the screen capture here, but they were almost exactly the same as the subjects appeared in real life, which is both cool and a little bit unnerving. So you start wondering about, oh, well, things like reading minds and reading thoughts were once purely the realm of science fiction, but now you're starting to wonder, okay, is this something that actually has some water to it? Some of them look like video gamified versions of the real people. A little bit, yeah. So the predicted faces are on the right and the actuals are on the left. They're pretty close, though. Actually, for this one, I thought the predicted face was the accurate one and the actual face was not. Isn't that weird? Because the actual face on this one actually looks lower resolution than the predicted face, which is kind of interesting. So I have to wonder about, does this mean that a person could end up one day with the correct equipment seeing, oh, what is the person thinking? Or who they're thinking about and what they're thinking about. I think they're also talking about your brain encodes faces a certain way. And it does, kind of like a GPU would do mathematical transformations to, if there's a shape on your computer screen and it's rotating, you can see it's like a cube or a sphere, like whatever else, your GPU is doing mathematical transformations to it to figure out what it looks like. So the article is saying the brain works similarly, where if you have met a person a couple of times, even if you haven't seen their face from every possible angle, your brain can do these mathematical transformations. So when you see the person again, maybe you just see them from the side or from an angle when they're walking away from you. But you can still figure out who it is. So it seems like it's tapping more into that part of the brain. As far as reading like emotional thoughts, that might be a little bit different. I don't know. But someone in the chat said how to hide your porn. So like we'd have to make like a version two of that video. Yeah. It's like, think of your grandma. Here's how not to think about what you've been looking at. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's like as soon as you say don't think of a pink elephant, you think of a pink. So yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How to hide your porn version two, mind reading edition. That'd be freaking awesome. I should make that video at some point. In a thousand years, this might get litigated. This is cover the right to privacy. The right to privacy cover your own thoughts. You know, I certainly think it does. I mean, who knows? Who knows? At this point. Who knows? They're allowed to record everything all the time. Well, when you think in public, you implicitly give up your right to privacy. Yeah, of course. I can see some lawyer making that argument like hundreds of years from now. So yeah. Yeah. I don't know. But. Nvidia announces GPUs for thinner gaming laptops. So they've got a few different things going on. Now Nvidia is looking to find the fastest and most power optimized performance level to allow laptops under 20 millimeters thick and sport a GTX 1080. We're already getting pretty close, aren't we? Like with the new like the new razor blades, you know, you can get a 1080 of those. And how thick are those? I'm not sure on exact thickness for those, but he's showing pretty thin freaking laptops right here with his trademark leather jacket. Very good with his freaking leather jacket. Max Q. It's cool. Thinner laptops is good. Whisper mode. Blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm constantly getting see Forbes even. At least they say from the Web. But like still, come on, guys. News websites that advertise articles for clickbait news is such a weird situation. It really, really is because there's tons of people that really can't tell the difference. Super lame. Anyways, that's that's just a cool thing. Nvidia is trying to do that. That's cool. They'll they will I'm sure succeed if they're going to be this open about the fact that they hey, we're going to do this. Yeah, they've probably already done it. As rock announces I TX boards for AMD Ryzen. That's super cool. I've been kind of waiting for I expected it was going to happen faster than it has been. But I wanted M.A.T.X. to get very popular. There is a serious, serious lack of really good looking micro ATX boards out there. And that's part of the problem. Yeah. But I TX boards to like I expected to see more of this stuff going on. I think with Phanteks new case, I can't remember the new name for it. The old name for it was Project 217. But as of this Computex, they have a new name for it. I think that might even help because Phanteks cases are super popular and this thing's freaking beautiful. Yeah, I just want to talk about micro ATX for a second because when you think about it, if you're an enthusiast, it has to be the most sensible form factor. Because no one uses four way SLR crossfire anymore, but you get two slots usually micro ATX. So if you want to expand, you can. You should get like a little bit more IO. But most people are doing external DACs, not internal sound cards anymore. Exactly. So you don't really need like it. But and even if you want like PCI Express based storage, most people are using M.2 Optane's coming up so that you don't have to slot it into a traditional slot. So it's just like, why don't you see more of this? Because ATX is overkill for most people with the amount of expandability that you're just never going to use. So yeah, and you can get some really nifty kind of small cases, but that's part of the problem, too. There isn't a huge amount of demand on the motherboard side. So the cases aren't there yet. Really, there isn't a ton of cases for it because of that. And then there isn't a ton of cases for it because of that. So people don't want to build that form factor. So there isn't a ton of demand for the motherboards. We're in like kind of a stuck situation, but I wish I'd get a little bit more popular. I hate stuck situations. Ducklet Schwag says, I didn't realize John knew this much stuff. Yeah, I've had a knick for every time I've heard that. Have you ever watched Techquickie? Techquickie is more or less unanimously written by John. It's essentially like it's my channel and it's not. I'm basically creative director for whatever it's worth, but tons of other people contribute to it, too. But like especially on the writing side. Like yes, entirely, but especially on the writing side. I'm trying not to sound like a jerk hogging all the credit. But yeah, on the writing side it's basically the John Show right now. Yeah. I think that's probably about it for the show today. Do we need to make Taffy stretch? Stretch? Like when you come to the end of a program, but it's not the end, you have like blank space. Oh, no, no, we just need to roll the intro. Outro. I mean. Intro, outro. It's the same thing. I can try to do it with. Nope, the stream deck's still not working. It looks so cool. And look at this. When I press the button, you can see, you can tell it's just one screen because I'm like damaging it. Hey, Taryn, come look at this. That's so sad. Thank you, Squarespace. Is it working or not? No, it's not. LTX 2017. Thank you, us, I guess. And thank you, iFixit. Bye, guys. I'm going to reset this. Bye. It'll work as soon as you stop streaming. I just know it.
