 Okay, it is WAN show time! And we're gonna... Okay, are we kind of... No, now you're two center stage. Okay? This is the line of show, not the... Wait, no, it's not. This is the WAN show. Okay, then okay, fine. Come on in here. Come on in here, buddy! It's me who came on in here, buddy. We were doing some weird stuff today. We were doing some real weird stuff today. It involved drag, it involved lipstick, which is part of drag. Fake mustaches. It involved fake mustaches, it involved a cell phone and taking pictures. Yeah, actually, no, it's not as crazy as it sounds. We're working on a piece for Honor, for the Honor 6X phone. And actually, I think it's gonna be a pretty fun video. It seems like it's gonna be pretty entertaining. Have you actually read the script or were you just kind of doing what you... I had no idea. That's why every time we got up to a shot, I was like, I don't know what I'm doing. Like I actually had no clue. Okay, so the concept behind the video is it's kind of like... It's like the videos that I've hosted in the past where I compared my generation to my kids' generation and sort of the differences, then versus now. Okay, well, this time, it's now versus then. So I'm looking at my generation versus the baby boomers and the way that we use technology. Yeah, and some of the ways that you, knowing technology, might think certain things that they do is just silly and unnecessary and slow or whatever. Solutions that are obvious to us and not as obvious to our parents and our grandparents. So it should actually be a pretty fun little video. It's a lot better. We made it sound kind of lame. Well, I made it sound kind of lame. Well, part of the added bonus is that so far, at least, all of the characters are played by Linus and I. Yes. So Linus is played by Linus and then, I don't know, is it just grandma? My grandma is played by me. My aunt is played by him. My dad is definitely played by him. So we kind of went full Monty Python on the female characters all being... Okay, and they got me a medium dress. Well, okay. I don't even fit medium... Oh, I guess it wasn't for me, but like... I don't even fit medium men's clothes. They bought me a medium dress. You volunteered to fit into it, to cram yourself into it. I can still feel it under here. There was like barely room for him to stuff the front. The good news was it was so tight that you were able to stuff the front without needing a bra. Yes. Yeah. So silver lining. Microfiber cloth. Anyway, we've got a great show for you guys this week. Oh, for crying out loud, I didn't change the name of the bloody stream again. Is it After Party? Yeah, the float party. Float party. Dang, dang, dang, gosh darn, Namit, the WAN show. Tech, okay, do you want to tell them what topics we got? You don't even know, do you? Yeah, sure. No, I do. The Intel is going to be doing some stuff with Thunderbolt 3. They're going to be bringing it to more things, and I think they're opening it up a little bit so it should be more common, which is really good. That's exciting. Yeah. Also, there has been a squashed rumor AMD will not be licensing graphics chips to Intel. Not going to be a thing. Google has made the ultimate marketing tool, which is way creepier than it sounds, although you might have seen that coming. And then Intel has, well, Intel not necessarily, but someone has leaked some benchmarks of an Intel 7900X and a Gigabyte X299 Aorus Gaming 7, and we have those details. Oh, and there are some very interesting specs in that leak. So without further ado, let's roll the intro that works with music. It will. It's been doing pretty good lately. I guess we'll have no idea. People are like, they finally arrived on time to a WAN show, but they're probably in other time zones and don't realize that we're actually almost an hour late. Because they think we're eight minutes early. Because it's daylight savings time. Instead of 52 minutes late. Hey, we appreciate your voter confidence. You guys are wonderful. And there's nothing I can do about the fan. This razor blade, this is my old blade because I accidentally left my backpack at work. This razor blade is like super not thrilled. Also, there's more background noise in general in the warehouse right now because as some of you doubted actually, there were a lot of comments when I forget who posted it on social. That picture? The picture of the empty warehouse. They're like, why would you post a picture of the warehouse before you moved in now? And we're like, oh, oh, because that's what it looks like right now. So this place is a freaking construction zone. It is going to be. They thought it was like a nostalgia pick. Yes. That like torn apart mess is the warehouse currently. And the upstairs is full of like pretty much everything that was in that part of the warehouse. Both Colton and Nick. So the whole thing where they're in like a sales office that's like clearly a one person sized office and they're both in there. That's because we don't have any room to put them anywhere else. So that's where they are. We're renovating. So we're updating the sets. We're building out a mezzanine that well, okay. So it was originally supposed to be a mezzanine for storage of like cases and monitors and boxes. Okay. That actually takes up a ridiculous amount of space after a while. Yeah. And it like becomes a problem because you can't really get rid of this stuff. So got to put it somewhere. And then it turned into, no, why don't we make that actual office space? Because it was an opportunity to deal with a couple of problems that had crept up on us. Two bathrooms is actually not really quite enough. You know, if, you know, let's say, okay, let's say a couple people at LMG go out for dinner the night before and let's say, oh, they both get a bad case of the, wow, I got to sit in the bathroom for a long time at a time. Well, a third person has no way to use a bathroom. So we kind of needed another bathroom. We are getting to the point where there's like sometimes lineups of more than one person waiting. And for the microwave. Yeah. So we kind of needed another like kitchenette or a bigger one. But like, obviously we can't go back and like do that now. That, that, that's not a thing. Yeah. You know, we did actually discuss putting another kitchen on the other side of the same wall so we wouldn't have to redo any of the plumbing. That would have to be a lot easier. But, but now that we're going to have this space and it can serve, it makes sense more to have it somewhere else. It would be easier to do it here. So there's that and then there was one person in particular, and I'm not going to name any names. Everyone's asking. I hate to say it. Someone who really wanted a fuu... Shower. A shower. Wait, we are getting one? We're getting a shower. Oh, what the timing. The timing. Yeah. So funny story. Like he might not be here that long. Cause Flowplain Media is probably going to get its own space. It's going to be like... And I finally won't have my shower. It's going to be a jank AF like leased space. There's no way it's going to have like nice facilities cause I mean we don't know how fast the company is going to grow. The last thing we're going to do is like invest heavily into renovating a space only to be like... Okay bye. Well that was a great six weeks. Yeah. So... I'll just have to come here and shower. No there will not be a fire pole and yes you are more than welcome to shower in our definitely not monitored shower anytime you want babe. I'm okay with that. Alright so why don't we jump into our first tech topic of the day. Yeah. This. I... You know what? I fell for it. I did a little bit too. Unfortunately. I think because it would have been pretty cool. So we were both like you know what sure. Yep. I was down for it. So what made this rumor kind of credible and it was that AMD was going to be licensing chips to Intel for onboard graphics. What made it somewhat credible to me was that Intel and Nvidia don't really work that closely together anymore. It was it was okay. It was rumor and the rumor was because of a previous previous licensing deal between Intel and Nvidia that expired in March and it was basically suggesting that Intel was licensing graphics IP from Nvidia and that deal had expired and rather than reach a new deal with Nvidia they had worked with ATI Technologies Group which owned by AMD but sort of a separate unit to make sure that they weren't going to have any trouble with their own graphics chips and you know getting getting chased down due to patent infringements or whatever the case may be and it all kind of like it all kind of made made sense sort of except that I know that Intel actually has invested very heavily in their own graphics. Yeah. Intel was on a lot of their own patents and at this point for them to go ahead with what the rumor suggested and that was that Intel CPUs would have powered by Radeon graphics inside which would actually been pretty awesome. That's I think again why we sort of believed it to a certain degree was like it didn't sound completely impossible and it would have been super cool. But it's also like it you know I can see why not because Intel has invested so heavily in their own graphics IP that for them to just kind of go okay yeah well know what you know what forget it we're just going to use AMD tech does seem a little hard to believe especially when most folks aren't really complaining about Intel onboard graphics these days. The other reason that you know looking back on it it that it doesn't make sense and this this is this is ultimately where the rumor got squashed so that's the article of fortune and that's where you know from my perspective I'm looking at it going oh yeah Intel's got still whether you like it or not still the best instruction for clock and they've got the highest clock speeds available on their chips so having an Intel CPU with AMD onboard graphics would be kind of the best of both worlds but Dr. Su from AMD came out and said look we're not looking at enabling a competitor to compete against our products it's not about how do we sell more products or how do we have IP in markets where we're not currently selling products AMD just basically straight-up said even if Intel wanted it they're not looking to put AMD's graphics technology which is good on Intel CPUs they're going to keep it on AMD's CPUs and for now those products are frankly not that compelling because AMD's got their graphics technology on older series APUs that are running just what is not in terms of months or years really old architecturally but in terms of how much better the Zen Core is really old architecturally products so when they bring us Zen Core APUs all of a sudden I think mine and Luke's excitement about having Radeon graphics on Intel CPUs doesn't really matter as much because you'll be able to get Radeon graphics on a Zen Core CPU so you know I was amped for it not a thing but I'm not that disappointed so a lot of people are freaking out about and there's like hashtag save Luke in the chat and stuff I'm not like yeah and like I'll still be around he's not fired I don't have any intent to not do WAN show and like I'm still planning on doing some videos here and there I'm definitely gonna be on VR stuff hopefully when it gets you know like more interesting and better and then like I have some videos coming down the chain if you have any here help me out if you have any like really weird but kind of interesting or unheard of but neat technology things that you know of just hit me up on Twitter down over there. Twitch chat's freaking out we saved Luke yeah. You did it Reddit. Oh terrible. What do we got for our next topic? I'll move us on. This is cool though because okay the last one is a little bit disappointing because we both kind of wanted it to happen because those would have been really really really cool processors I personally would have liked to see them in laptops but this one does seem to be happening don't believe it's a rumor Intel's plan to Thunderbolt 3 all the things so Thunderbolt 3 still hasn't gone mainstream which has been frustrating for a lot of people due to a combination of high cost and low availability now Intel is taking two steps to accelerate the adoption of Thunderbolt 3 they're integrating Thunderbolt 3 into Intel CPUs finally yes thank you yes which is super awesome I mean the fact that it was so expensive to add to the motherboard meant that it only existed on these super high-end products and so you were stuck with it just being like niche-tastic for people who are willing to invest a bunch of money into a premium board and in many cases buy an additional add-on module and in terms of lowering cost this is like not better but like better in certain ways next year they are making the Thunderbolt protocol specification available to third party chip makers royalty-free you know what's really funny about this is I had spent so much time talking about Thunderbolt 3 as like one of the only key differentiators that I could think of between buying Intel and buying AMD now that Ryzen exists because whether you have a specific use for it today or not it's a really cool technology and having the expand ability of a Thunderbolt 3 port on any device is not something that I would say no to you never know how things are going to go down for example I'm working on a test bench right now that's got dual graphics cards a 10 gigabit Nick and a red rocket X accelerator in it it has six PCI Express slots if I wanted to put anything else in there you know what hey being able to connect it via Thunderbolt like let's say I had like a professional audio capture device or something yeah a nice high-speed low latency daisy chainable interface I'm not going to say no to that and the same thing goes for laptops a lot of people don't think Thunderbolt 3 is that big of a deal make yourself sorry that was that was very disappointing okay we will talk about that after but a lot of people don't think Thunderbolt 3 is that big of a deal on a laptop but I'm looking at it going you're not thinking three years out when some new you know hot shiz thing happens and you want to be able to connect it the other thing you're not thinking about is that while external graphics enclosures don't make a ton of sense right now while the the cheap ones use proprietary interfaces like the Alienware graphics graphics booster whatever they call it anyway it's boost it performed really really well in our test graphics amplifier like the Alienware so that one's like 200 bucks but the Razer core is like 400 or 500 something like that okay that won't be true forever there are already cheaper ones on the market and that's only going to continue to happen so three years down the line so people look at it and they go what you're going to spend fifteen hundred dollars on a laptop another five hundred dollars on an enclosure and another five hundred dollars on a graphics card that on any graphics card that would actually be faster than what's in your laptop no of course not you're going to spend fifteen hundred dollars on a laptop use a GPU that's in there and then three years down the line instead of spending another fifteen hundred dollars on a laptop so that you can game you're going to spend two hundred bucks or a hundred and fifty bucks on an enclosure and by then graphics technology will be such that you could spend a hundred and fifty bucks on a graphics card and it'll be better than what's in your laptop that is the point that people are missing with Thunderbolt 3 so having it is a total bonus and for me so AMD announced that they're going to be doing mobile Zen based CPU soon that to me was going to be a real bummer for investing in an AMD laptop but now this potentially changes everything so let's talk about let's talk about Microsoft not thinking Thunderbolt 3 is a big deal yeah so they they brought us to China which was super interesting and why we figure out what's coming out and I'm pretty excited because Linus had actually oddly very recently made a video about the surface pro 4 which was weird because it was a super late video it was like wildly late like this video came out two months ago I think so his opinions on it were very fresh and lots of comments under the video were very fresh in terms of like there's a new product coming out so I have like everything ready I'm like okay all right I've been told by them that like they've directly addressed claims and stuff I'm like man this is really exciting I like feel like I know what's coming and I feel like like one of the quotes that you said in surface pro 4 video was that you feel like the surface pro 4 was the first time that the surface pro lined up with Microsoft's vision for what it was supposed to be so I was like here we go one of my lines was literally like and this is where they take it from there and I was like all freaking excited and then Linus's biggest complaints in my opinion that happened in that video were all IO based there was a micro SD card slot instead of a full SD card slot that didn't change there's still a micro SD I think it's SDXD SDXC card slot and then the IO was microphone power the surface dock the connector into the keyboard mini DP and a USB 3 type a port that's all it was before and that is exactly what it is now the reason I remember is because I just made the freaking video about it no type C no additional type a if you want to plug in like a mouse and a flash drive at the same time you're boned just I don't know yeah yeah and then the pen isn't included in anymore the pen is so much better now which is super cool the pen is actually like drastically better now right and you could that's another interesting thing you could just buy the pen because it's backwards compatible and use it with your pro 4 and that's probably what a lot of people yeah because the pen is what it's like four times as precise it now has like tilt functionality and is latency is way lower it's the lower lowest latency input pen that there is like pen super cool there you go did it join the ad that doesn't have like 15 new things about it that are better than any other pen I wish can we call it the pen 15 I would love that I would love that if they just didn't acknowledge it at all a straight face here's 15 things about the Microsoft pen that are the best I feel like you know you know how Musk wanted to line up the s and the 3 and the X yeah I feel like he if he released a pen well no he wanted it to be E and Ford screwed him on it that's why we have that's why we ended up with s3x he wasn't even going to be that subtle man model E and then they said it was too close model T or whatever yeah ridiculous well didn't I thought they had a model E I thought that was the problem I'm not much of a car guy so it's hard for me to to necessarily remember this stuff yeah is there a Ford yeah they do Ford model E yeah there you go so that's why that's why they wouldn't let him get away with it but that's okay you know smart guy like Musk he can he can figure out how to get around that use some leet speak why not speaking of smart guys like Musk how stoked do you think he is on this the original article here is from futurism.com and this is some sky net shiz right about now you guys I'm gonna get this in twitch chat real quick this is some crazy business the headline is Google's new AI is better at creating AI than the company's engineers oh that was I linked the wrong thing in twitch chat this is the auto ML project an artificial intelligence that assists in the creation of other AIs this is exactly what Terminator told us not to do exactly yeah like to a T so auto ML is a controller neural net that can propose a child model architecture which can then be trained and evaluated for quality on a particular task wow so so far they've used this auto ML tech to design networks for image and speech recognition tasks so the system matched Google's experts for image recognition and exceeded them in speech recognition designing better architectures than the humans were able to create this is one thing that I'm interested in though was that ever or were they put in like a time window like where the humans and the AI both given an hour or a day or was it like what the humans have been able to make up until now to be honest I haven't looked much further I see but I that I haven't seen that information kind of anywhere because that's actually a pretty interesting difference right there were a couple more quotes on it I can have a look and see if I can find anything about because I'm not I'm not trying to say that it wouldn't be possible ever for them to do it but I feel like right now it would be on like a similar timed test I don't think so it really doesn't sound that way because like did they because we're saying speech recognition right yeah so did this AI make a better speaker condition thing than what Google is using currently right now because if not then it didn't beat it it's worded in a way that I can't like 100% be certain it is a little bit tough to tell exactly exactly what they mean but either way it sounds it sounds terrifying so basically here's the here's the quote if we succeed we think this can inspire new types of neural nets and make it possible for non-experts to create neural nets tailored to their particular needs allowing machine learning to have a greater impact for everyone oh I'm sure machine learning is gonna have an impact yep I like you know it's funny I was never really much of a Doctor Who guy and then I like binge watched the entire like like 20 whatever Doctor Who like not not 20th century Doctor Who the 20 year something yeah and I was just like this is great I think I must be one of the only people who really liked the first Doctor from from the like new generation yeah I don't remember his name anymore but I thought he was I actually thought he was pretty awesome but anyway that's neither here nor there but it makes me think of the episode where the cars like drive people off into the into the water and stuff like that because they're they're using there they turn they're taking over the world's electronic devices and all that kind of thing like I just oh I'm gonna be someone in chat in all capital letters the first doctor was awful he was not awful remember too though that I'm coming at it from a really different perspective as someone who never watched the old show and basically other than knowing that it was something to do with a blue phone booth yeah knew nothing about it I know there's a blue phone booth I know there's a crazy screwdriver and I know we haven't watched Doctor Who no I think he like dies sometimes and then he like glows and then another one shows up or does he like like pass the screwdriver forward is it a different screwdriver is it a sonic screwdriver no no okay I'm sad now okay you gotta watch some Doctor Who bro it's actually okay it's really camp but it's like actually really good it's really good you'll like it you'll like it all right all right let's that's all I know about the only you know it's funny I'm like I'm leaning on you really hard even though I went so long without watching it yeah the reason I'm doing it is that's what made me okay okay like firefly okay fine yeah fine I'll watch it okay I'll watch it nerd fandoms go that way it's terrifying tackling like firefly was okay because there's only one season but like when someone comes to you and they're like this is a really great show there's nine freaking you know 20 episode going right and you're just like this is like a week of my life that I'm committed to this if I like it like usually I wait till shows are over I still haven't watched any Game of Thrones me neither because I'm waiting for it to end okay I think I watched like the first season but I don't remember well I read the first book yeah they weren't all written and I was like flip desk nope I own them all on like I didn't know there was books usually I read the book first right I ended up watching a couple episodes and I was like damn this shows weird as hell but pretty good so I ended up watching the whole first season then I was like I'll wait till all the seasons are done then I figured out there was books and I bought the books and then was like oh my goodness there's more books coming damn it so we've gone through exactly the same I've actually gone one step further I already own the blu-rays for like the first five seasons that will H HMV yeah HMV HMV disappeared shut down yeah and I went in and like seasons of Game of Thrones worth like fourteen dollars or something on blu-ray like it was ridiculous that's really so I bought like four hundred dollars worth of blu-rays I got so much good stuff that's pretty and I was just like yeah okay well I'm yeah the good news is I have lots of time to rip it all to my Plex server because I won't be watching it for a very long time yes yeah yeah um all right what else oh Google has made the ultimate marketing tool yeah so this is what I actually thought we were sharing before the original article here is from bleeping computer.com and it'll come up eventually way to go bleeping computer.com so this is yeah this is oh I timed it just wrong it's super creepy the the last one was like oh my god they're gonna take over the world that's really scary this one's like oh my god this is the creepiest thing freaking ever what the actual hell is this yeah at the annual Google marketing next conference the Mountain View search and advertising giant announced a new service that will let advertisers track and tie offline credit card payments with ongoing marketing campaigns so this is gonna be this system will be driven by machine learning and combines data from Google's regular campaigns with third-party partnerships which capture 70% of credit and debit transactions in the US yeah this is terrible yeah the good news is that and they use like geolocation and everything to tie in everything so like they'll they'll they'll find mood patterns where like if something is happening like say your phone is blowing up from certain contacts and you tend to make certain impulse purchases when certain people are blowing up your phone they'll like I'm not even kidding though flowers yeah yeah they'll throw advertisements at you for different services and whatnot and of course they're analyzing exactly what's being said even so they don't even have to look for it to blow up they could just look they could they could know before you know and have those ads ready for our anniversaries coming up and boom sky helicopters ads actually they'll they'll know your like target price probably too from your payment history so they'll give you like a value appropriate ad I mean at what point do we just live in capsules like the matrix and we just get like when we want it we get like an injection of happiness and we want it we get like into our you know what's really funny is I'm probably and I'm just gonna kind of jump in here and you can correct me if I'm wrong I'm probably the most fidgety person you know yeah and I'm really fidgety too but that's not I don't even know why they're called that I have never been even tempted to try a fidget spinner no because it's too it's too like basic one dimensional like I like I fidget with whatever's in front of me I like like I used to drive Nick light freaking crazy on our conference calls because we used to do them in the WAN show room back when we were at the old Langley place and there was a boom arm that had the microphone for the show above where we'd sit on the couch because that was the couch we'd sit on the couch and we do our conference calls together and so whatever was in my hand I would put my arm out and I would throw it up over the pole to myself I remember that and catch it to myself and I would like hit the boom arm from time to time and people who were on the call with us would be like oh it's what sorry did you guys cut out for a second and Nick would be just like but yeah I just don't get it's too like but the thing is you're fidgeting and like I think we have similar kinds you'll like grab something and like throw it around and you're like really interactive with like this isn't this is too boring yeah enough going on it doesn't that doesn't really it's it's way too boring with that said have you tried one no okay so maybe before we just I know yeah at least you know if you're gonna say that I want to do if you're gonna say crack cocaine is bad you should at least try it first okay just so like it's on record no obviously not no obviously not but that won't change the gifts yeah anyway back to the marketing next to Google attribution right so that's what the service is going to be called it aggregates details about the ads displayed on your phone the sites and time that you visited them what you've searched in Google it uses geolocation and Wi-Fi information from your phone to tell if you've gone to the mall or walked into a store that sells that product and finally with the integration of payment data from third-party partnerships Google will know if you've bought that product and will report it in the advertisers AdWords dashboard it's driven by machine learning and combines data from okay we already said that part holy freaking crap with that said if Google knew that my wife's birthday was coming up and suggested sky helicopters that would be pretty cool we finally went on our helicopter ride oh cool yeah so I bought it for her back in October it's been a bit which is when her birthday is and I didn't have to think about that for a sec and it took until now for us to do it because we've had a very very young baby and it was kind of like the reason for the timing the reason for the gift the reason for giving her a gift that I knew she wouldn't be able to enjoy for a bit was it was like hey hun everything is horrible right now because we have an infant but here's something to really look forward to once we can leave the baby at home for a couple of hours yeah and so we went we went flying up into the mountains just north of the greater the greater Vancouver area okay and these pictures are freaking sick so it's actually my sister's boyfriend who took us up there and so he's a he's a helicopter pilot and even got us like a small deal and freaking man we did the sunset we did yeah sorry you guys won't be able to see this wow that's really cool it's like freaking wilderness uh hold on oh i'm going backwards no i'm getting i'm getting to like just flying over like the city that that's not as good oh you guys got out but we got like way oh yeah yeah we land on a mountaintop that's really cool and you can just see as far as the eye can see the entire top of the mountain is just like like it's it's it's like a jagged peak but it's like flattened out from the from the cone of snow on the top and like you're like on top of the world and uh as the sun goes down the light was just like we got the perfect light so the sun coming through kind of a light cloud on us but blue skies above us and uh it was just oh that one's blurry it was just unreal middle of nowhere this would be like a three four day expedition for a very experienced mountaineer yeah or you can fly up there in like 20 minutes um that's pretty awesome but uh let me just see if i can find like one of the pictures we took like right when the sun was sun was setting it's like freaking unbelievable it's like so quiet just crazy got like the helicopter in the background there honestly it was really expensive like it was still like 500 bucks so it's not the kind of present that i would buy every year or anything like that but i again like you know me i'm the kind of person who does like a big gift once in a while and then like here's some you know breakfast or whatever yeah like more like more like a gesture and i think in that case it sort of makes sense like this sucks right now but here like just look at this don't worry about it let's keep going yeah it was like to get but it was as much for me as it was for her to get both of us through the uh through the next six months um speaking of getting through the next six months um you know we gotta make sure we keep the lights on in the studio for the next six months so sponsors for the WAN show today you know what's funny is i actually didn't know this until um until when i was working on pimp my wi-fi out in singapore that ngenius in addition to making consumer grade stuff actually makes enterprise class networking gear so this right here is the EWS 360 AP it's an enterprise class dual band access point ideal for large offices schools and hospitality guest wi-fi access it features 11 ac speeds um and it's got a bunch of business class features it can operate in autonomous or managed mode it's got a high powered radio with a three by three antenna design and it's got meshing technology built in so that means you can actually run and obviously it's not as good as running a wire to every single AP we know but sometimes you don't really have a choice and a mesh can be very very convenient um there are so this is where they really kill it in terms of the total cost of ownership unlike some other enterprise access points there are no per device license fees and no annual subscription fees so that's what keeps so while the AP itself might not be that cheap compared to another access point that's not really the point the point is lower overall total cost of ownership so check it over check it out check it out over at ngeniustech.com slash newegg.html also sponsoring the show this week mac welden you look so sharp when you wear a collar i think other than the first year at ces where you wore like where you like bought you like you did it the way that like noobs buy clothes where you bought an outfit yeah like ah shirt ah vest ah pants um and uh anyway i think that's like one of the only times i've ever seen you dress up the collar suits you though there was also comp wait did you say computex oh computex too that same year yeah so mac welden believes in smart design premium fabrics and simple shopping even he could do it uh mac that's like actually like they make super comfortable underwear socks shirts undershirts hoodies and sweatpants and they have a line of silver underwear and shirts that are naturally antimicrobial which and this is a really fun fact is actually a thing you can put silver in your water cooling loop and it will kill bacterial growth silver ions that's a thing so when they lace these fabrics with silver they actually naturally kill the microbes that cause it be oh you're still gonna sweat obviously but hey at least it helps and like you should still wash it out and stuff yes mac welden the only clothing you never have to wash you

url shortened that i also don't know why that's fine what the hey uh if you want to come hang out yeah so it's gonna be on july 29th from 11am to 5pm we're gonna have the whole LTT crew there we're gonna have fun booths including the case toss the guess how many CPUs are in a jar and playing rocket league IRL we're gonna use the not with like the super powered cars okay but there's like actually like kits you can buy so yeah okay or rent rather so there'll be like like a whole kit so it's gonna be halfway tech like we're gonna have some partners coming out and like teching it up like like game at 144 hertz and 4k cool I think that I think those guys are coming out and then we're gonna have stuff that's just like completely carnival like we're you know those things with the big long bungee cord where you like run as fast as you can as hard as you can against the bungee cord and then it like rips you back oh god so we're we're gonna get one of those I think so we're just gonna have just a mishmash of like I will do that one fun crap to do and you come hang out with the LTT crew tickets are 30 bucks or there's a bigger package that includes float plane membership and some other cool stuff so there you go LTX is coming all right other news topics what else we got here oh yes leaks so size software net is the original source for the leak here and it looks like a gigabyte board running an Intel core i7 7900 X 10 core CPU at 4 gigahertz base four and a half boost was leaked a F so that is the local rank number two okay a lot of these numbers don't mean a whole lot to me but that's okay 20 threads four gigahertz wow if that is the actual TDP rating that is basically Intel turning up the heat quite literally like they have been so conservative in the stock speeds of their processors for so long if this 175 watt TDP is for real you are going to need like a dual 120 millimeter liquid cooler in order to keep this thing boosting up which is cool which is great for those of you on like SoundCloud listening to the podcast which almost no one does because we never mentioned that it exists it's 175 watts why are you plugging the audio version nobody cares I think it's on iTunes too is it yeah I think Colton set up like an automated thing people ask me every once in a while like when are you guys gonna make it like a legit podcast like go on like iTunes and stuff and I'm like I don't even know if we are not right now hey we might already think the WAN show is a legit podcast I think they mean like audio podcast well you know what oh geez there it is look at that on iTunes iTunes there's a okay that one didn't go up until like mid this week but you can still you can still listen to it on iTunes so it's like we cold news four days late okay we should maybe maybe it's not automated it's probably not automated Colton probably is doing it manually Wow which I appreciate his dedication but there you go yeah the WAN show is on iTunes now you know it's a free download on iTunes can you see how many people like I have no idea customer reviews cuz okay hey let's read let's read some reviews great guys I've been watching their content ever since they started making tech videos on the internet there buddy glad to see them make the jump to iTunes as well very informative well done tech and news coverage that Canadian accent damn really nice to really glad to see the WAN show make its way to YouTube buddy it's two guys having fun laughing at the silly state of the world to focus on technology love to support them as they Canadian boys okay that one legitimately sounded like a Canadian it did too right yeah yeah good to see this make its way to the iTunes good ideas you can listen to it whenever you want there buddy great job guys keep up the good work are you out there buddy that legitimately said buddy that would have been perfect I wish it said buddy yeah but but that one that second one that did say as they Canadian boys and it sounded Canadian before it said that yeah so that was pretty good so there you go if you ever left a review that I think that I think that's all three I think if you ever left a review of the WAN show on iTunes then you got a hardcore WAN show call out yeah T. Moody Demon Hunter and Yolo Swag Shop there's four numbers after it so like Yolo Swag Shop was taken and now it's Yolo Swag Shop 1275 you know I excuse it these days but I remember when like email addresses were were were easy enough to get that unique ones were easy enough to get that like when I met my wife I legitimately straight up held it against her that her email address at the time was sweetheart09 at something and I was just like really I don't know if I don't know if this relationship is going to be a thing in my girlfriend's defense she has a gmail now okay she she got off the yahoo train finally oh well she wasn't at yahoo so yeah was not at yahoo she was at like a real email provider yeah yeah so yeah yeah she fixed it yeah sorry Emma but you're done no she fixed it she fixed it it's fine ah what else we got AMD discusses upcoming RAM settings in Ryzen so this was actually big news when Ryzen was first launching that there was pretty much nothing to adjust like you could turn the speed up as high as you could go and you could tighten up primary timings but like that was it now they are opening things up a fair bit more so there's actually some really great news here this is community update number four so first of all I was talking to my buddies over at Lime Tech unraid and FTC disclosure I am involved in potentially investing in lime technologies anyway so I was talking to my buds over there and they were like this virtualization news is good news because Ryzen has not been a lot of fun in unraid with virtualization up till now so here we go they're getting fresh support for PCI express access control services which primarily enables support for manual assignment of PCIe graphics cards within logical containers called IOMMU groups so the hardware resources blah blah blah can be dedicated to virtual machine so this is for GPU pass through and this is what projects like 7 gamers one CPU have been all about without ACS support 3D accelerated graphics in a VM was like not going to be a thing so this is freaking awesome with ACS support is also possible to split see they're talking about this a 2 GPU system such that host Linux OS and a Windows VM could both have dedicated graphics is exactly what we're talking about freaking awesome also what's next for memory so added dividers for memory clocks up to DDR4 4000 good luck getting that running command rate is coming and a bunch of secondary timings so there you go freaking cool wow all the things that's a pretty huge update all the freaking things so you won't get any of this functionality until your motherboard manufacturer bakes it into a UEFI update but it's good to know that these things are being worked on and again this comes down to like us not necessarily being that comfortable saying go by Ryzen now but us also having the confidence to give the the technology a positive a positive spin in our review because we were sure that given a little bit of time AMD was going to get this stuff worked on so I am I am flippin excited for what they're doing right now over there oh wow thank you Ivan yeah yeah you guys may or may not have noticed but Ivan like kind of is sleeping in a corner of the warehouse right now yeah I don't know how many of you will actually even know who Ivan is but he's the OG OG crazy Russian is what I used to always refer to him as back on in the NCIX Tech Tips days and I've been informed it's not Russian it's Soviet Canadian okay okay I got okay that's what I said OG crazy Russian because that's what I called you not like I was referring back to was something that I said that was wrong yeah you too bro okay um anyway he brought us water he's he's good people I mean mine doesn't have any ice in it but I think mine has like construction stuff you know it's a it's a learning it's a learning experience um what else we got 26 more parameters and blah blah blah oh we're expecting oh we're expecting these biases to roll out sometime in the mid to late June time frame there are apparently a couple boards that already have public betas the GA AX370 gaming 5 from gigabyte and the crosshair 6 from a sues Europe modernizes media rules keeps TV relevant um this is a super boring article on Europa.tv so there's some weird stuff apparently the revised directive gives broadcasters more flexibility as to when ads can be shown the overall limit of 20% of broadcasting time is maintained between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. but instead of the current 12 minutes per hour broadcasters can choose more freely when to show ads throughout the day okay so that gives them the ability to sell a lot more advertising during prime time and then kind of ease off it when most people aren't listening kind of like what you'll see them do on the radio where they'll have like yeah an hour of uninterrupted ad-free music when nobody's freaking listening anyway yeah yeah like really late at night they'll even do like four hours or something like during my morning commute on uh TSN 1040 it's the only radio station that I still know exists like ever like it's like an 18 minute drive and I will get like at least one ad for where to take my Cummins Cummings turn turbo diesel yeah Cummings or Cummins Cummings all the Cummins is a different all the car people are coming for me anyway so I can I know where to get my diesel repaired I know where to um Cummins okay I know where to go for my my freight and logistics I know where I could buy a Chrysler and like like all this they get like so many sponsor reads in there so the reason why we're saying Cummings and most people are probably freaking the heck out is that is a like trailer and engine shop that's actually somewhat near us so we've probably seen their advertisements that's a local shop okay it's Cummins is this specific yeah okay um so anyway what else are they doing there can blah blah blah blah blah the new proposed rules are platforms which organize and tag a large quantity of videos will have to protect minors from harmful content such as pornography and violence and protect all citizens from incitement to hatred so this is basically kind of leveling the playing field a little bit like you know let's let's take let's say some popular cancerous online personality that that is driving viewers to a platform TV doesn't even really have the option to like like if if everyone's kids are attracted to this person who swears a lot and spews a lot of a lot of hate and garbage um but it's driving traffic and driving revenue to the platform basically what they're trying to do is level the playing field a little bit they're going okay look you can't you can't market that at at uh minors yeah okay we'll now ensure that regulatory authorities are truly independent from government and industry to ensure that the audio visual media act is in the interest of the viewers and they want to something something something something yeah i really don't know if that's going to save tv but i wish them luck yeah oh good wonderful just when i was enjoying the galaxy s8 and its iris scanner uh this is from bleeping computer.com the sam excuse me the samsung galaxy s8 iris scanner is apparently easily hackable and fooled by a photo which is funny because i remember specifically sitting in a samsung briefing for the note 7 they've said they promised all kinds of things about the note 7 they promised it wouldn't explode well they didn't specifically yeah i don't i don't know it never came up but they said that the iris scanner wasn't going to be like facial recognition and that it wouldn't be easy to fool but apparently a photo of a person's eye taken at medium distance is more than enough to trick a samsung galaxy s8 smartphone according to researchers from the chaos computer group so the saying that they use depth scanning to try to like make it more advanced and that whole advancement was bypassed by gluing a contact lens on top of the image creating a round surface on top and that successfully tricked everything interesting so and this is because modern iris scanners and facial recognition systems are programmed to use image depth in order to distinguish between photos and a human or like other three-dimensional object so uh i think there's a number of different ways that you could break that to be clever trick and this is great uh to get the best results with your hack you are going to want to use a samsung printer perfect uh so take photos using the camera's night shot mode as it captures iris details better and then uh you got the best results with a samsung laser printer the thing is okay to be fair that out of everything on this article that seems a little sensationalist because he might have had like a junko printer yes and then like the really expensive samsung printer that he bought and been like uh-huh guess what or he had just two different samsung printers and was like yeah my best results great was off the only one i had thanks samsung for uh sponsoring this article on the it yeah not so much okay we've got an iphone rumor so why don't we move on to something else researchers engineer shape shifting noodles researchers from mit engineer noodles that can change shape so these sheets of gelatin transform into 3d shapes when dunked in water which could save on food shipping costs oh solving the world's problem one air pocket at a time and i'm not even to change shape though well because people like noodles in different shapes people like i like bow ties you know my family always called them diapers why that's gross think about that next time you're eating uh pasta why would you do that especially if you've got kind of like uh like a really chunky sauce in it oh great think about that when you eat it okay something like not minced enough chunky diapers chunky diapers um yeah with like a yellow curry yeah so why did you have to bring curry into it it looks the same going in is coming out oh that was good that was good that was good that was awful what was i thought okay at first i thought this was like a feed the hungry thing not just we're gonna save money on shipping costs because that's a good idea yeah so the researchers created flat discs that wrap around beads of caviar similar to ken cannoli cannoli i don't know much about caviar so as well as spaghetti that spontaneously divides into smaller noodles when dunked in hot water like i could see if if they if they get away with it i could see craft buying this like patting the crap out of it and that being like the only pasta my kids would eat they'd be like no it'll like grow we want the purple ketchup and we want the we want the magic noodles but now the craft package instead of being this big and that thick it'll be like you would just take like this brick of noodles it would be like you know like uh like the food synthesis machines on like futuristic shows right where you just like have the little brick of thing you throw it in and it's like pasta yeah and i mean knowing craft they'd find a way to find something that tastes nothing like cheese but is somehow delicious anyway and mix it in there all pre-done you just be like it's it's like it's like a it's like a kd square yeah and maybe if america is really nice and eats up all their vegetables they'll get the good version this time oh my goodness okay this is interesting apparently even if you were to pack macaroni perfectly which would be that the be all and end all of ocd you still end up with 67 percent of the volume wasted as air i'm not even surprised yeah that that makes sense yeah so it would be drastically smaller than before okay so do you remember how we had talked about as like an offshoot business potentially building like vr like vr arcades or like local vr centers just as like kind of a hey lmg has some some cash flow why don't we like invest in a new business idea i'm actually glad we didn't yeah because imax is apparently opening up virtual reality centers and i'm sure that my is going to do it better than we would it's also really expensive yeah it's really expensive but imax is going to be kind of like the premium option they actually talked about this a fair bit at the acer event that i attended a few weeks back and basically they're like creating custom so they've got all the partnerships with the film industry so they want to create custom content with like triple a i p's so people can go in and have like you know there's a quote here that says you walk out of a movie all excited about having seen john wick or the avengers yeah and you can walk right next door like within the same building right next door uh not like to the next building and continue being immersed in that experience because you can like continue the story as that character or whatever which is pretty sick so in the first four months of 2017 the pilot center that they have down in la registered more than 25 000 admissions with an average revenue of 15 000 per week so they're planning five u.s centers and they talked about at least back at the acer event how they could see this becoming like a worldwide freaking thing um so what we had talked about was really a lot smaller it was kind of like you'd go into like a little place and there would just be like you know machines set up and you could play br games we took some inspiration from a few of the like interesting tech places around the world videos that i've made yep um and it was going to be like a cool place to hang out there was probably going to be some food and like maybe a bar and then in the back somewhere there'd be like vr areas where people there'd be like a tv setup for each station so your friends could like kind of watch you play and there would be enough setups that you could all play against each other with each other or whatever but we decided not to not only because um well we had the foresight to kind of realize that if it was super worth it someone else would probably wreck us anyways which sounds like it ended up being what was going to happen and also uh that vr just wasn't at all ready yet when we wanted to do it um oh you know what uh gildedford mall has a little vr thing it's like 35 bucks an hour you know how well it's doing uh when i went in there were like three or four people playing i just walked past it i was like what yeah and i kind of popped my head in but uh yeah i think uh that's probably pretty much it for the show but i do have kind of a bombshell to drop for those of you who have made it this far so um it's uh it i i regret very much to inform you guys this will be i mean i want you guys to kind of to kind of hear about it from us rather than just kind of figure it out eventually but uh nicky v nicky v is moving on from linus media group uh this is not an april fools prank do not adjust your calendars um basically he's actually taking a position making biking videos which actually makes a ton of sense for him that's something that he's always been super passionate about but i'm excited for him yeah it's it's funny we've never we've never really lost anyone who made it past their probation um and in two weeks actually chelsea left as some of you probably noticed already and we hadn't really kind of figured out how to talk about that yet and uh nick van burkel will be no more now he's still here for two more weeks um and i had actually asked him already if not next friday because i'll be in taiwan but the friday after which will be his last day if he'd like to come on the wandshow and kind of hang out maybe i don't know chat with you guys do some q and a whatever whatever just kind of chill one last time um but that'll be that'll be a year so i i had an idea off the stream but i feel like i should pitch it now so i can get the support of the uh wandshow audience oh my god everyone's freaking out yeah if it helps at all i feel exactly the same way but um it's it's it's i think it's the right thing i think everyone here is freaking out to a certain degree but yeah i agree with lightest he's always been into bike stuff he's always been into outdoor videos snowboarding videos bike videos or whatever and that's fully been his passion i'm really excited for him i want to see the stuff he's going to make i i think it's i don't think it's impossible that we'll ever cross paths again uh to be clear we're we're we're parting on i mean it's still kind of you know it's still kind of stings but we're parting on good terms so i'm kind of hoping some weird tech thing will come out that is very well displayed on a bike yep and we'll just be able to kind of work with him there'll be an opportunity to collab a little bit it's not like he won't still be making videos yeah he's uh he's not moving out of the vancouver area so he's not going to be like in a completely other country or anything like that so it's uh it's it's it's what what is it what is it it's um it's not it's not goodbye it's see you later yeah yeah yeah so i had an idea um for like one one kind of cool channel super fun video that he could do before he goes okay uh a last tune-up a last tune-up oh lordy uh it might be too much i don't know it might be too much for me to handle i'm already gonna think of him every time i drive that car gonna be like ah nicky v for those of you that don't know which is probably not very many of you but uh linus's car uh the super civic or the lambo as it's called was custom custom modded painted designed inspired by uh the one and only nicky v yeah there it is there it is my friends all the uh all the modifications he even replaced by windshield wipers because he was like these are straight up dangerous like these are not wiping your windshield anymore painting the uh painting the racing stripes so epic so epic yeah we we created a lot of memories together it's really funny sometimes i forget how people still look at it the same way or do you think it's like kind of known now i i know i was about to say sometimes i forget how like ridiculous the car i'm driving is and then like i'll drive past a school and kids will start like cheering like what are they cheering oh oh right oh it's the watermelon car oh it's that car again yeah so uh it is with uh it is with a heavy heart that i that i make that announcement got people asking what's gonna happen with channel super fun channel super fun is actually kind of up in the air for a number of reasons um not anything to do with like it's all it's already been up in the air for a while um but we're really not sure what to do with it like it's um it's at the point now where instead of being fun it's kind of stressful to get them done so an option could be to just like not have an upload schedule for it yeah like to just do it whenever um another option that i've proposed is still having it be a weekly upload but just limiting the editing time down to pretty much kind of cutting together some fun thing that we did and making making it more about us just kind of going and doing something fun for a bit and less about making a video that's fun yeah um so i'm i'm really just not sure um yeah i'm not really sure where we're gonna go with that but uh that's that's where we're at a lot of people are saying rgb the civic rgb the civic yeah that's illegal yeah well we'll see we'll see i might i might i might want to leave the civic as is yeah in honor of nicky v yeah so all right well that's pretty much it for the wandshow for this week um i guess we will see you guys again next week same bat time same bat channel if it's all the same to you guys i have a big trip to taiwan that i'm leaving for tomorrow and i'm like pretty freaking tired and like actually haven't had a great couple of days um oh yeah i wasn't gonna really do an after party though no i know but we should show stuff yes and things yeah for those of you who are not signed up for float playing club um come on guys get with the program we've got a lot of great stuff over there so you can get the next episode of scrapyard wars hold on i'm just uh i'm just trying to remember which one is the right one i think i think this is it um i'm trying to log into uh log into this account oh no that wasn't it um dag nab it best plane oh no i know what it is uh no wait oh is that what oh oh oh oh yeah that's the that's the problem that's the problem cool all right so let's have a look and i actually have just been slammed i don't even know what's up on float plane right now so we've got uh ltt be as cool as casey neistat boosted board 2.0 review featuring none other than the legend himself terran van hemert who is not wearing adequate protection where are your knee pads uh asus strix gl 502 review so actually really solid good value 15 inch gaming laptop uh this was a simultaneous release the new surface pro 5 oh boy oh boy this modular mouse vibrates the james donkey 007 uh let's see uh yes the next episode of scrapyard wars so episode two is already up on float plane episode three is coming tomorrow so youtube will be getting episode two tomorrow tomorrow but if you watch if you've watched number one you watch number two and you're like i'm itching pretty bad you can get number three on float plane tomorrow the cheapest tablet on the market this was actually a pretty fun video to make so uh we've got heard actually from from more than one person that it's like pretty cool it's kind of it's kind of ridiculous um in terms of channel super fun we've got a game of exploding kittens up there and we've got tech quickies as well so what's that thumbnail for the exploding kittens thing oh it's pure oh my goodness yeah it's it's pure aids wow it's like it's like aids pure aid that's how pure it is wow wow my face yeah yep dennis wow all right cool that hardly even looks like dennis yeah i think they were just kind of having fun
