 Alright, so we're late, but we're only like 7 minutes late. Dude, we're relatively early compared to other shows. Yes. In fact, we're on time. I mean, even technically, I think it says somewhere that we start at 5 now, so we might be early. It's 4.30 somewhere. Yeah. Those weird time zones that are 7 minutes behind us. Yeah, don't worry about it. Anyways, we have a bunch of great topics this week. We actually don't have a bunch of great topics, but we have a few absolute zingers. Over quantity this week. Yeah, some of them are actually quite fantastic. I'm going to talk about Nintendo and Sandisk. Just screwing over customers. It's going to be great. Also, Facebook wants your nude photos today, so help them out. And they can have them. Intel and the other guys, AMD, have actually collaborated to make a chip together. And the plot thickens as Intel gets a new employee. A very special new employee. It's Linus. That's why he's not here. Yeah, he queued. Anyways, intro to the show. That's him. That's our clip. Sailing away. Linus, wait. We need you. I'm dead. I'm James and Linus. Cut the mic. Cut it. The Delaybox. Boardroom on function. All right, fresh books. Savage Jerky. I fix it. Put this thing back. Go to no guest. Apparently, we're clipping like crazy. People are really upset about the audio. Clippity clop. I don't know what people did. We're just really loud this week. We might have to redo it. Oh, I don't know what to change on here. Can I give you a test tone? There's a song. I don't know how to describe it. It's a Russian song. It's a viral sensation a few years ago. Chum Dum Dum. The guy's super weird and he makes that noise. On Google Home, if you're like, hey Google, play that Russian song where the guy goes... It'll play it. I don't actually know the name of the song, so I have to do it like that every single time. That's amazing. It works every time. What are you doing down there, Luke? On the incredibly dusty mixer, I think I might have found master volume. Hopefully it's okay. We're just going to go with it. We'll see what the audience says. PC master volume race. Oh my goodness. Watch that be a thing. Someone finds a specific volume level that you set Windows to and then they want all the content creators to set their volumes to another thing. See, I thought you were going to go a different route. The PC master volume race is just a bunch of PC enthusiasts with great hair. Giant teased back home hair. That would be absolutely fantastic. You want to start at the beginning? I want to start here. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Apparently Luke has been living under our absolute hefty rock. Okay, no. I knew that he had left. I didn't know that he had joined. Spoilers. Spoilers. Okay, so let's start at the beginning. I'm going to leave this off screen until we get into it. On Monday, Intel made an announcement. They announced that they're going to be making a chip that has AMD graphics on it. Not integrated graphics. It still has Intel integrated graphics, but it has a discrete GPU that's on the same die. They found a way to create gaming laptops with performance level processors and discrete graphics in a much smaller form factor and they're partnering with AMD to do it. What they've done is they've reduced the usual silicon footprint by less than half of the standard discrete components by putting a core H series processor, HBM2 memory, and a custom to Intel discrete graphics chip from AMD onto a single package. Is it really bad? Still clippage? Oh yeah, it's pretty bad. We interrupt this program for shitty audio. You don't turn on the master, you turn on the input. So where was the master? I don't know what any of these are. That's the thing. I don't either. I brought that slide in. Is it so bad that I shouldn't even talk right now? No, it's not that bad. Okay, well I'm going to continue then. Okay, yeah, go. Yeah, you just keep going. I wish we could show, can we show them a link though? Can you? Yeah, which one? There's a sweet picture. Follow the first link. This one? No, not the second one. Okay, yeah. Because then it'll give you a visual of how much smaller this new integrated thing is. Oh, no, that'll go. Yeah that's it. There we go. There used to be a slideshow though on another site where you can click through and see the normal size of the PCB when you have discrete graphics next to a processor and how much space that takes up compared to this one integrated thing. It's almost just half the size. I'll try to look around for that. You keep going. We're all stoked though because what this means is you can have a BA gaming laptop that's not thicker than the thinnest thin and light laptops we see today because you'll have so much more space for the OEMs to make up thermal solutions or maybe they can create their own new board layouts or increase the battery life. So super, super sweet. And that was on Monday. And then on Tuesday, AMD had an announcement of their own that Raj Kajuri was actually leaving. So a couple of wanchos ago. And that was huge and I knew about that. And people had suspected that because a couple of wanchos ago when I was here with Linus, we talked about that. That was the announcement that week that he was going on a sabbatical. And I thought it was overhyped. I thought it was like, who cares guys? He just worked really hard inventing Vega and now he wants a two month break. What's the big deal? And everyone was like, nah, this is going to be really bad. He's not coming back. Something's afoot. And I mean that- Because sabbaticals, okay, to give a little bit of insight to some of the tech industry, that some of the really big tech companies, I'm not going to name specific names, very long term sabbaticals are a thing and people come back. So I would have actually sided with you guys and been like, oh, it's probably fine. I didn't know that, but I knew in the academic world they do it all the time. Professors do it all the time. It's like, whatever, he just busted ass. Now he can chill. But Linus was like, no, this is bad. And a lot of other people agreed with him. So maybe I wasn't wrong. Maybe they didn't know at the time. But it turns out on Tuesday announced, yeah, Raja's leaving AMD. The next day on Wednesday, Intel has another announcement saying, yeah, guess what? We got a new teammate. It's Raja. He's going to be the head of everything over here. Intel to develop discrete GPUs hires Raja Kaduri as chief architect and senior VP. That is huge. If you don't know this guy, that's actually like a really big deal. If you saw the memes from forever ago when he dropped the GPU in front of Linus, and it was the only one, and it was like, oh my goodness, finally someone dropped something on camera who wasn't Linus in front of Linus. It's contagious. Yeah, it's crazy. Linus infected him with the dropping virus. Maybe that's why he dropped a company. Oh, man. So he basically started it all at Radeon in the 90s, and then he left for a while to Apple. Then he came back and did Vega. Now he's leaving. Originally, you might think, okay, so Intel just announced this integrated card. Maybe the next iteration of that, instead of working with AMD, is just going to have an in-house, discrete graphics like the similar tech, because it's the same guy. But no, they've gone a step further and announced that actually they're going to flesh out their entire GPU stack. Most relevant to us and our audience is probably high-end, like Intel's going to try to make GPUs again. That's crazy. And hopefully they won't suck like the i7-40 in the 90s and Laravel project that never even landed. That is legitimately crazy. This is exciting and scary at the same time, because it's exciting to see what Intel is going to do with this. But then it's also scary because AMD just lost. Yeah. But then at the same time, no offense, a little bit underperforming on a couple of the cards compared to what people were sort of expecting. So how much of that is his fault? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe none. Or maybe all. I have no idea. Do you think they'll make a graphics card aimed at gamers? Or do you think they're just going to be trying to capture the AI market, which is why Nvidia's stock has gone up threefold in the last year? Yeah, no, I'm suspecting that direction. Honestly, Intel is not really super on top of the let's go after gamers thing. And I don't think they have been for a long time. If they're going to do something, I expect it's going to be some form of enterprise application, some form of industry application. They've been showing that card for a very long time. Them diving super hard into NUC, which I thought was kind of a weird move, but whatever. Them diving super hard into Internet of Things. Which is another thing they want to do with their GPUs here. Yeah, not surprised at all. Intel's going super hard into IoT and has been for a while. I would expect them to be trying to do something along with AI or machine learning, which is sort of the same deal and etc. I don't expect this is going to be a gamer focused thing. I'm sure they'll find ways to trickle down technology, be like, oh, we figured out how to do this neat thing, like being able to make laptops thinner because of this tech and still have it be high performance and whatnot, which is super cool. But I don't think it's going to be a gamer focused drive. And what about the future of AMD? Are they screwed without this guy or did he teach Amanda Fish as it were? Well, I think AMD's been doing really great on the processor side of things. I think they've been flexing those muscles for a while now. And when they first came out with this new wave of processors, something that we were saying a lot was that they needed to be out for a while because like us with our infrastructure, looking at the editing done, we don't upgrade their stuff until next gen. Yeah. And we give them really baller stuff from last gen so that it's already proven. We know there isn't going to be any major crazy BIOS changes because the RAM didn't work or any junk like that. It's all going to be fine. A company cannot afford that downtime. For a gamer, it's just frustrating. And sometimes even fun in a weird self-abusive way. But it's a different scenario. And now that their processors have been out for a while, people are starting to trust it more. And that's really cool. They've been selling really well. They're just starting with that platform. And it hasn't even taken that long. No. It's only been like how long? Since like four months? We're looking at months, yeah. And already like the RAM issues, it's just dialed in. Oh, tons of it is being taken care of, which is awesome. So they're doing great on that front. GPUs have not been seeing as much success. So I don't know. Hopefully Teach Amanda Fish happened, I guess. And hopefully they keep trying on GPU because I want AMD winning on both fronts. Because Intel needs a proper competitor and Nvidia needs a proper competitor. And there isn't a fourth. So they need to kind of manage it. Speaking of the tuning, Wolfenstein is Vulcan only and it's like slaying on Ryzen. It's like utilizing like for it with an 1800X, uses all the cores, all the threads. That's super cool. Full tilt. It's equally good with like a 7700K, like those like super single thready ones. Yeah. Kicks out on both platforms now, which is awesome. That's really cool. I like that kind of stuff. When I made my WTF is going on with Vulcan and DX12 video, a lot of it was the reason why we made that video, as probably a lot of you guys know, was a lot of people in the comments were screaming about us not necessarily testing with those a lot of time. And a big part of my conclusion on that ridiculously long video was there just isn't games that have been released that are tuned for this properly yet. And maybe Wolfenstein is like the beginning of the flock. That's cool. Anyways, moving forward. Let's go up. Doesn't really matter that you guys saw that, but oh my God, the show is pre-prepared. Wow. So I guess that's both of those topics basically. Let's slam on Nintendo. This is ridiculous. Is it Nintendo? Who sets this? Who decides? It's probably a little bit of both. Wow. No ad block installed. What a good person. I say to myself. Let's take a moment to describe how the Nintendo Switch works. Okay, so the Nintendo Switch has under the kickstand, there's an SD card slot and it doesn't have a ton of storage. The cartridges that you have for the games, you can buy physical cartridges. That's what I've been doing for a lot of them because I've been personally worried about the storage and I don't want to be toting around a whole bunch of these freaking micro SD cards because I don't trust them really. But there's some games, I do believe, that you have to have an SD card. That's right. NBA 2K18. Yeah, and I think that's going to expand. It is one of them. I think it's going to happen more and more as time goes on. There's going to be games that require SD card space. Just like needing a rumble pack. Yeah. A little bit more imperative, but yeah. Oh man, I actually miss rumble packs. Those were cool. I like being able to like, I hate this thing. Some modern games I don't like. Anyways, yeah, so they have now made like, it says on it Nintendo Switch. That's an official Nintendo Switch SD card and it's ludicrously expensive. This 64 gig one is $99.99 and I'm pretty darn sure that's US. Three times the price. Yeah, that's US. Yeah. So $100 US for a 64 gig card. It's three times the price the comparable, like the exact same one from SanDisk with the same specs is $29. That's really brutal. And you can get ones that don't have the same specs for even cheaper than that, like $20. But your game's going to load slower or whatever. Yeah, yeah. That's rough because what's essentially happening here is they're profiting off of like... Ignorant people. Yeah. And like, unfortunately, a lot of it's going to be like your mom buying you Christmas presents. And she wants to get you like the Switch Odyssey and this and she's like, oh my goodness, this is way too much money. I can't do this. Because where do you think in the store this is going to be on the shelf? Right next to the Switch stuff. It's going to be the only one that's right beside the Switch stuff. And a lot of places like, what's it, America GameStop, we have EB Games, whatever. I think it's GameStop though. There probably won't be another SD card. Yeah, could be true. The other thing that's really insidious about this is like they're using an open standard. It's not like a PS Vita that had like a proprietary type of storage card. This is, it's open to regular SD cards. So when they designed the Switch, they went with an open standard, like awesome. Which is cool. I do definitely see that. And then it's like they got an email one day or like a call from some like greasy sales guy was like, got an idea for that. What if we just put Link and Mario on the box and just squeeze a few extra bucks out of those suckers who don't know that you can just use any old SD card? Yeah. Mom won't know what hit her. Ugh. Like, okay. So it's dirty that they're doing that. It's dirty that they're charging so much more for it just to have the Nintendo Switch logo on it. But at the same time, I guess I would still give them props for at least using an open standard because there isn't that many console type things or even portable type things that use open standards. Yeah, that's sweet. So like, try to help inform other people that you don't have to buy this. So why do they do it then? Yeah, I... Why? Well, official Nintendo Switch licensed product things are like everywhere. They have carrying cases. They have like a little backpack thing that you can have. They have tons of different stuff and you throw on the official Nintendo, like licensed by Nintendo kind of deal, except it's not licensed by Nintendo. It's just the logo. So it'll be made by someone else. And then it tax on a huge price because you have to give Nintendo money for everything that you sell because you sold whatever. But then I think, so SanDisk is probably doing that type of partnership. Hey, can we put your logo on it? Yeah, we'll pay you per item. Okay, cool. And then marking up on top of that because they have to make money on top of that. So they're going to have thicker margins on this than they do on their regular non-branded one. So the question is how much of that $99 is the Nintendo license fee? I have no clue. You know? Probably a lot though. Come on. Apparently the 128 gigabyte version is $100. So you could get twice the capacity for the same price. Yeah, at the 64 gigabyte range, the price difference between the two is a factor of three. But going up to higher capacities, it drops down to a factor of two, which is in line with our theory here that there's a fixed cost that doesn't scale up, right? That licensing cost is fixed. So iChoice in the chat is all pissed off because we're saying it's open. So yeah, there's patents and all this kind of stuff in the SD space. What we meant by open, and I understand why you're upset, but like come on dude, is that you can use a bunch of different things. What we're talking about is it's not like playing with PlayStation, the old PlayStation One memory card deal. You couldn't use a thing that you could just buy from a bunch of different brands. There's no competition. It was all proprietary from that specific company. That still counts as an open standard, even though it was developed by a consortium of different companies. I think there's royalties they have to pay for. SD card licenses are imposed for manufacturer and sale of memory cards and host adapters. US $1,000 per year plus membership at US $1,500 a year. I don't know. It feels open for the consumers because if I already owned a micro SD card, I could just put it in there. I don't have to have one from Nintendo. Do you think Nintendo knew that this was, or do you think that- I'm sure they knew. I'm sure Nintendo's reading this and they're like, oh no, you guys, you weren't supposed to do that. No. Oh, I doubt that. Yeah. I honestly don't think Nintendo cares at all. They put their logo on it. They probably knew the price it was going to be. I don't think it matters to them. I am very happy that they're using micro SD and USB-C for everything. That has actually been awesome. When I first bought it, I had my Pixel XL, Pixel One XL, whatever, and then this. I bought some multi-packs off Amazon of USB-C and it was just like, basically everything I had is now USB-C. It's fantastic. I love it. It's great. You know what's really dumb? Google Pixel, USB-C, the home mini, micro USB. Really? Yeah. It's stupid and they come in such similar boxes and then now we have these here. Now we have the Google Pixel Buds, USB-C. Yeah. Why? Why is there one? I mean, that's cool. This is sweet. They should just all be C. Why is there one product that doesn't? I could have just one cord for all of them. I'm assuming, I don't know and I don't think this is great, but I'm assuming the thought process was that you're not plugging in and unplugging that one. True. So you only plug it in once. It's annoying one time and then you leave it there and it's cheaper. Yeah. They don't want me to and I'm not going to unplug my home just to charge my headphones. Yeah. Oh, so you're saying it's cheaper, it's cheaper to implement. They can throw in a cheaper cable. It's cheaper to implement. They're like, you just plug it in once, you leave it there, don't touch it. I would rather that everything move to C, but right now it is more expensive to throw. I don't like it, Luke. I agree. These are sweet. Have you seen these yet? Talk about those. No, I haven't. I haven't seen them at all yet. So I was researching these butt ton yesterday in anticipation of their delivery today and the angle I'm looking at them is these versus AirPods. Okay. Which, Ed has a pair over there. So does Nick Light. Oh yeah, yeah, that's right. And Linus has, he took them with him though. Probably, yeah. This is a larger case than the AirPod case, but it's still smaller than I thought it was going to be and it's felt, which is cool and it's a little magnetic kind of opening case. Okay. It sounds nice. Yes, it's cool. I don't want to give the whole review away right now, but I think they look pretty cool. They do look pretty cool. I've been interested in these like Bluetooth earbud kind of dealies, but I'm not going to lie. I've been looking at the Apple ones more. My reasoning for that, and I'm really interested in seeing the review on this actually. That's kind of a cool charging mechanism. He's crossing over. That is pretty cool. Oh, and they go in magnetic. Release. That's pretty nice. Release your hate from Apple. Okay, so what I do like about the AirPod, is that their name? Yeah. Is that they drop down. Okay. Because I have an issue with earbuds just coming out of my ears. Ah. So I have traditionally had to use the old style of... Goin' everywhere. I thought you were going to say you didn't like the ones that went up and behind. Oh no, I'm cool with those. Okay. Yeah, do these do that? No. Okay. No, they have a cord. They're neck buds. I just learned that word. That's a phrase? All right. Yeah, people call them neck buds. Cool. Because they're truly wireless like the AirPods and like the Braggy Dash or whatever. But the ones that are connected like J-Bird Runs, neck pods. Neck buds. Neck buds. Okay. Neato. More on those next week. Yeah. I'm going to do a little segue. Do flow plane stuff. Oh my goodness, flow plane. Speaking of, seeing these next week, they'll be on flow plane first. Yeah, they will. Flow plane. On Tech Cookie right now, how to set up Intel Optane Cache. I'm going to tell you right now, that is a difficult process. I legitimately think this video is going to be awesome. I don't think you're going to be sitting there struggling how to install one right now and need that video. So this might not necessarily immediately be a reason to buy flow plane because of utilitarian aspects. But it's interesting and you might have to set one up in the future. Put that in your pocket. Bookmark it. Exactly. That's evergreen. Heck yeah. We built a freaking laser cutter. It's performing super well right now. Tons of people watching that. It's a very interesting video. We put in a door that I can't show you. It's right here. I can't show you just because I can't turn the camera. Weird. It's right there. It's a door. It's way more interesting. There's some people in the comments that are like, people are getting way too worked up about this door. It's a big deal. There's a whole other like essentially building there. We had no internal access to it before. It's very cool. It's cold in there. It is. It's not much longer. Yeah. We're going to be doing some more work on that and there's a video about that. We have insane SSD raid setup that is bootable using Samsung 960 Pros. iPhone 8 versus GoPro Hero 6 Black. Is that on YouTube yet? Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Okay. Yeah. So rush out your flow plane tonight. Do it. Can't wait. Watch that thing. It's actually an interesting video because GoPro has been in an interesting spot for a while. Thank you. That's my video. Watch it. It's good. I assumed it was yours because you're in a fair amount of the B-roll stuff. That happens. Yeah. Yeah. That's a way to figure out who wrote the video by the way. Kind of a little cheeky trick. Ah, that GoPro though. Ah. Yeah. Can't give the video away. It's interesting though. It's not even fair though because it's fall slash winter here and we're not snowboarding. Like just, I would love to take it out surfing in Hawaii just so our B-roll was as nice as some of the footage that's on their website instead of being like, yeah, here's a kind of rainy field by our work. Yeah. Because like if you can just hold it there with your hand like this, of course the phone is going to do pretty well. And I know this was mentioned in the video. One of the ways that GoPro shines is you can just like stick it to something and it'll be okay. Yeah. Which is actually super cool. But a few years ago they were, actually this might even be just like a misconception. They dominated. In my mind, a few years ago like GoPro Hero 3 era, which is when the iPhone 5S was out, I thought back then like GoPro stomped it. I remember when I first saw GoPros I was like, holy cow, that's like the sickest footage I've ever seen. So I went back and on YouTube there's actually comparison videos between the 3 Plus or 3 Plus Silver versus the iPhone 5S and they were pretty comparable back then too. All right. I don't know. But maybe the idea of using your phone as a filming device is being more accepted now? Yeah. Well, I remember that the first time I saw a monopod, it was like at a music festival and someone put their GoPro on the end of it and brought it to a music festival. And I had a GoPro and I thought like, oh, that's weird. These things are action cams. But now it's like trickled out to just bring it to a music festival. And then after that, that monopole started to be called selfie stick and people put phones on them. So it's like it all like conceptually, like the technology is equal, but conceptually it trickled down from one spot to the other. Somebody pointed out Wanshow used to get 10K viewers. It does get less now on Twitch, but it's also because we didn't announce this video on YouTube because of some reason that I don't remember. I'm going to segue from that into the random stuff that was sent to me this week. So I was sent a five pound gummy bear. It's apparently the world's largest gummy bear and it was made in the USA, which is not surprising. The version that I got is apparently sour apple and I don't think I can eat it. It's 6,000 calories. The thing that hurts too is it was sent to me for my birthday, which like makes me want to but then it's 6,000 calories. You don't have to have a gummy bear party, man. A gummy bear party. You're going to have to slice it up into cubes and have a little toothpick. So this is the cake. I put candles in it. Just mutilate a gummy bear for the cake. That's fantastic. It's 10 inches tall. It weighs approximately five pounds. This is the sour apple version. This is like, did you guys see the mic stand move when I did that? You could hammer nails with this. When you first chucked it at me, I was like, holy, that's girthy. Imagine that coming out on a platter and it's got one of these things and there's like candles on the top and you're serving it like a cake but not lying down. It's standing and you're serving pieces. It could probably support its own weight. Cutting pieces lengthwise. Yeah, I've tossed this to people. Every time someone catches it, they're like, what the heck? You don't expect it. Not only would it, even if it was like your favorite flavor, for someone to dummy that in one sitting is impossible. Oh yeah. For you to open it. It's like 6,000 calories, roughly. It's 1,400 gummy bears worth of gummy bear. For you to open that and not finish it in one sitting but then want to eat it again later, it's going to be gnarly. The part where your saliva touches it, it's going to get all gross, isn't it? It's nicely trapped in there in its own little air bubble but the second this aerates properly, Things are going to get stuck to it. Some flies will be like, I found the mother load. Not only that but it's sour apple. I feel like something that's got a bite like that, I can't do that much of. Apparently, because I'm actually kind of down with sour apple. Oh, Max has opened the door. You didn't see this gummy bear and now you. No, she's seen it. You need it. She wants us to eat it. You want to help us eat it? Really? Throw it over. Throw it over. No. You'll die. Right on the laser cutter. Boom. Yeah, that would not be good. I don't know. This legitimately would take minimum six people, I think. At six people, that's a thousand calories. Phelps eats these. That's what he takes in between trial, between laps. It's like a pelican. One big gulp. Can you imagine if it was just in your stomach in one piece and then your stomach acid was just trying to erode it from the edges? It takes so long. You'd be like a snake. You just eat like once every six months. So what's the name of the website? Where that comes from? So this is from, well the guy that sent it to me, thank you very much, this is from Simeless, the guys that make Synergy, but this is www.giantgummybears.com. This is not a sponsor spot. Naturally. Not a sponsor spot. Have you ever heard of that company Big Ass Fans? Yeah. They make these giant ceiling fans that are like six feet in diameter. And I remember when I first saw one, my friend was like, yeah, they got that from a place called Big Ass Fans. I was like, you don't say. I feel it's the same with this gummy bear. Is it a vegan gummy bear? I have no idea. No, it's definitely not. No, gelatin's made from like ground up bones or something. Oh, wow. So super not. That's what I would take that as. Anyways, thank you. Thank you, Simeless, I guess for that. And then also someone sent me this shirt, which says, heck yeah. And then has a big L on it, which apparently I say this a lot. I didn't know that. And then I said that to Jake and he was like, you do. You say that a lot. So yeah, thank you. That's a heck of a nice shirt. Yeah. What's the L though? It's a Luke. Yeah. Ah, it's even in our colors. Yeah, which is kind of neat. And there's a black one too. So I have both. You should plot something on it like it's a graph. That's what I think of when I see it. Oh my goodness. Yeah. Like the crazy. Yeah is the independent variable. Yes, absolutely. As yeah goes on, you can see heck is fluctuating. Speaking of things that were sent to me this week, Facebook wants to send you nudes or wants you to send them nudes. I said that the completely wrong way around. But yeah, apparently Facebook is advertising that they can try to help combat revenge porn, which is, which is good. But the way they want to do it is kind of funky. So let me get the article up here. One of the things you get it. Yeah, get it. But it's like, but it's Facebook. So you're also like, I don't know. Let's just get into it here. So apparently the idea is that you send Facebook the image and they make a let's see here. Where is it? Messenger can send the images to be hashed. This means that the company converts the image into a unique digital fingerprint that can be used to identify any identify and block any attempts to re-upload the same image, I guess probably only to Facebook. Yeah. Apparently they will take action. Yeah, they will take action against pictures that were posted to Facebook, Instagram or Messenger. So you can't like, I guess the idea is like some wonderfully nice lady sends a wonderful photo to boyfriend. Boyfriend is a jerk bag, sends it to bro and it doesn't work. On Messenger, even if you direct message someone that doesn't work, that's pretty sweet. So Messenger, Facebook in total and Instagram. So honestly a lot of the ways that people message each other. Now don't they own WhatsApp too? Yes. Apparently they didn't include that. It's not shown in this article anyway. So the idea here, the thing that I like about this is that it's preventative. It's not reactionary. They already have tools that are reactionary where you can just report things and then they'll hash them and make sure it doesn't go up again. But this is totally preventative. You don't even have to break up with someone. You can be like, you know what, I'm going to send you some nudes and I'm also going to send them, what you actually do is you send it to yourself on Messenger. Okay. And right now it's being tested in Australia and it's a partnership with some kind of governmental agency and you have to fill out a form with this agency and then message yourself the picture. The agency contacts Facebook so then I guess Facebook checks and sees that you sent yourself a picture and then they hash it. The thing that's what I wonder is like, do you get analytics? Like can you try it? You're like, okay, I'm going to send somebody nudes and then I'm going to send it to Facebook and then I'm going to get a notification if somebody tries to re-upload these nudes and then I'll know that son of a gun didn't keep it to himself. That would be super interesting actually. Wow. Okay. So apparently that's kind of, that would make a crazy game. That's a great episode of Seinfeld or something or I don't know. What a game. Because like just the like mental gymnastics that goes around that. Because then like I guess now the person receiving the nude, whatever gender, the person receiving the nude now has to be super careful because someone could like ruin your relationship if they got onto your computer. Levels. Levels. Yeah. Yeah. If they got onto your computer or your phone or something and sent it to even just like themselves or some third party that has no idea what's going on, it would never even get there. Ah. And then the person would receive the notification. And then the original sender could be like, oh sorry you tried to send it. You're like, he told you? And you're like, you don't know, I'm not going to tell you. And then someone's mad at someone else like, I'm mad at you for telling her that I sent you this. And they're like, dude I didn't. Yeah right. And it's just like this triangle. And then someone at Facebook's like, ha ha. I have brought doom to the world. Yeah. Speaking of that is even better. This isn't just happening algorithmically. There's actually an employee at Facebook who's receiving and looking at your nudes. So it's kind of like- Wait no, it's what? No, yeah there's an employee who does this. What? Yes. It's in the notes here. So it's almost like a utilitarian type of thing. Like the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Like it's harm reduction. It's like okay, one random at Facebook is going to see me naked, but that's better than anyone I know who's not authorized to see me naked, seeing me naked. I'm just imagining there's someone at Facebook whose job it is, whose job it's been for years and years. Once Facebook gets that notification, a community operations analyst will access the image and hash it to prevent future instances from being uploaded or shared. So check this out. I'm picturing there's a dude who's been working at Facebook for years on like their dick pic removal algorithm and his whole job is just to like look at dick pics all day and one day they're like, he gets called to the office like, uh huh, you wanted to see me sir? It's like, dude, you've been doing such a great job for so long, we're going to give you a little promotion here. Now you get to look at mostly girls. Yes! Oh my goodness, that's insane. I thought it was automated. How is it not automated? Why is it not automated? Yeah. I think, I guess their image recognition technology isn't at the point where it can just completely validate that these pictures are inappropriate. Well, who cares? Well, what if I'm like, ooh, there's a picture of me where I don't like the way I'm looking, like my smile sucks, so I'm just going to report it and then it would never get uploaded. So? I think that that is better than like some random employee at Facebook seeing everyone's news. What if it's political? What if it's like there's a picture of politician, like kicking a baby, um, political party doesn't want that to go viral, so they go on Facebook, they upload the picture first and report it, and so like no one can ever upload this picture and they hide the truth. Man, that's weird. And like, how do you avoid someone just putting like a weird border around it? So actually they've already figured that out. So I mentioned earlier that they had these existing tools that they were more reactionary than proactive. Yeah. The, like the seed of that tool was invented by Microsoft. I think they eventually gave it to other companies. And in subsequent iterations, they figured out that people were actually just like cropping it and adjusting it and uploading it again. So the tool sophisticated enough in its current form to recognize that. Crazy. Yeah. That's wild. I didn't. That's weird. What if you, it's like, you know, I want to form a relationship with this person on Facebook and just like keep sending them nudes. You don't even send them to anyone else? Yeah. Oh, these are just for me. That would be funny. Writing yourself a, hey, Facebook person. Yeah, just every week. I hope you're enjoying this. How many nudes does this person send? The guy, the person on Facebook is just like, stop sending nudes to people. Like we're on a first name basis here. You want to hash this photo after hours? Heck yeah. Like he just gets in in the morning. Oh, I know these nipples. You again, eh? There goes Fred again. You know, oh well. Speaking about something that's been screwing with me and not in a good way, Assassin's Creed Origin DRM has been brutal. You've experienced this for San? Oh my God. I've been trying to stream it. And I try to stream with H264, so I'm already hammering my CPU. And then this thing is just wrecked it. And okay, one cool thing. We need to back up. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. That's fair. That's fair. Assassin's Creed Origin DRM, it has like two or three of them or something. Two. It has two. Okay. So it has Danuvo. Which is useless now. Yeah, because it's been cracked by like everybody. Yeah. So in the summer, Danuvo was, it took like one to two weeks for hackers to crack it. Yeah. But now it's like hours. Yeah. So it's basically useless. So in Assassin's Creed, they used Danuvo again, but they put a second layer on. Yeah, okay. Called VM Protect. VM Protect. And it has been hitting people. It says here, tanking the game's performance by 30 to 40% demanding that people have more expensive CPU to play the game. That's not entirely fair. And this is actually the point that I wanted to bring up. You mean that point's not fair? Yeah. Because. That is a quote. No, I know. The reason why I'm saying it's fair is not fair is because you can't even fully surpass it in my opinion. Unless you get something absolutely ludicrous. So okay. I have a 5960X. Okay. And SLI 1080s. I have a. Must be nice. Way over the top system. But like it shouldn't, I should be able to do whatever. That's my point. I'm way above. So everyone's getting screwed by it. This isn't like a more, slightly more expensive CPU. Like one step above. No, this is like a pretty ridiculous CPU. And I'm trying to stream, but that's not that huge. And one cool thing that ACO has is if you press F1 when you're in the game, and I would recommend pressing it a second time, you can bring up in-game stats. And it shows like each core up to a maximum of 12, I believe. And then how each core is being used. Your GPU usage. Like all this kind of stuff. In-game. Really nice little graph thing. And if it's not clear to people by this point, what we're saying is because of all the DRM, your CPU core zero just gets crazy up to like between 60 and 90%. At medium, 1920 by 1200, medium. I was getting CPU core zero peaking at a hundred percent very often. And I'm running at medium 1920 by 1200. I have weird monitors. Don't worry about it. And I'm getting like sometimes as low as 26 FPS. If I'm in a highly detailed area with like a torch, which is like pretty brutal, but still 26 FPS, medium, not 4K on that freaking computer. On that. Yeah. Like this is nuts. And like, yeah, I could stream with NVEC, but it's not as good. It doesn't look as good. The worst part about it, just on principle, is that this is a battle between game developers and publishers on one side and then the cracking hacking community on the other side. And the people suffering in this case are the people paying for the games. Yes. Their collateral damage. They're the ones who are supposed to be, you know, benefiting here. And they're getting the crappiest end of the stick. I bought the freaking game, man. Like, it's so brutal. Like for the first, I think two streams that I did with this, I just ran with the performance analytics, which take up like a significant part of your screen fully open the entire time. Just so that people could even, I wasn't even necessarily talking about the whole time. I just wanted to show like, look at what is happening to my computer. Because my computer was struggling. Like it was fighting. It was rough. It was hot in there. Yeah. Well, like I don't, I don't think we ever actually hit 60. Really? Even at medium. Like it got up to like 50 high forties pretty often, but. What would you expect that to hit given your rig? My rig is ridiculous. I should be able to hit 60. I'm not running 4k. That's my thing. Yeah. Even on max though, even on max. Even on max, I should be able to hit 60 because my rig is so insane. Some people apparently are even getting the blue screen of death after like one or two hours of play. So I have not experienced that and I've played, I think about 19 hours of the game so far. I'm not saying it's not happening. Not straight. No, no, no, no, no. What's your longest session though? Probably four. Four hours and you're streaming too. Yeah. That's, that's pretty solid. That's a lot of performance. I don't, I don't think it's super common, but I have had the game crash when I was first setting the game up and I was trying to tweak my settings because usually I just go into a game, set it to max settings. And then dial back. And then, well, not even because my computer is so stupid. My last computer that I had was a 2600K so I made quite a big jump. Okay. And at that point in time I would max settings then dial it back. For like all the games I'm playing recently, it's like 1200p is not exactly a difficult resolution to run. Crank everything up. I'll probably get about 60, everything's fine. This game, no, I had to dial back multiple times and in doing that the game kept crashing. At one point in time it wouldn't boot again because it would load up and then just get to the main screen and then crash immediately. And I don't remember what I had to do to fix that, but I had to like change some file to like reset all my graphics settings then do it again. It was, it was quite a mess. So the natural question now is why, why does VM protect make this happen? I think, yeah, okay. So it's because that in an effort to protect the other software, like the game from being reverse engineered and cracked, it actually executes that software, in this case the game, on a virtual machine. It executes it on this virtual machine with a non-standard architecture so that makes it hard to crack. But I guess just the act of virtualizing it is just so intensive. Yeah. That it borks your whole experience and makes the whole act of buying the game. Really, really annoying. And like a big part of it, what I've heard this, I don't know, is that they fight each other too. De Nuvo and VM protect. Yeah. I know that those two companies had some beef or like didn't get along. Like the software. Yeah. Like conflicts with itself and is that causing huge amount of issues. But anyways, I heard you say a keyword. You said reverse engineer. Uh oh. Sponsor spot. Oh my goodness. Had to throw in the segue. Had to do it. Anyways, iFixit, awesome, awesome sponsor of ours. We've used their stuff since well before they were a sponsor of ours but now they like put cool embroidery on our things which is pretty neat. One thing that Linus says all the time is that you can buy one of these things. This is the ProTech Toolkit. The ProTech Toolkit. It is $59.95. It is a little costly but it comes with a lot of different things including suction cups which can be helpful for taking screens off of things. The 64-bit driver kit. I love this driver. I use it all the time. Yeah the last one was x86 and this is way better. That was fantastic. I used it at TwitchCon when I was building computers on stage and that was one of the uh it worked very well there. I'm a big fan of this. Big fan of this. This little spinner on the back. Yes because you can like palm it and then. Oh I'm doing it right now? It's wonderful. It's wonderful. You guys gotta upgrade your resolution if you can't tell what's going on. So satisfying. Sorry Twitch. Anyways, they're leading the charge electronics repair. You guys have probably seen their website. If you haven't check it out. They have a lot of really really cool tear downs where they tear down a device and they will show how to do that. How to put it back together. Give it repairability scores so you can know what you're getting into when you buy something. You can know how repairable it is because once that warranty is gone man I don't know. They have over 25,000 free repair guides on ifixit.com which is awesome. They have stuff in here like ESD safe tweezers, ESD safety straps, suction cups that I already mentioned a lot of different Jimmy tools. Tons of pokies. Lots of pokies. These are freaking pokie. They are very pokie. Oh wow. That's pokie. Those are quite pokie. You could do some damage. You could. The ifixit home defense kit. Oh my goodness. Anyways they're pry tools. These little blue. I'm just gonna get personal there for a second. These little blue pry tools are awesome. Especially for Apple devices. They're super helpful for getting into things that are clipped down and popping them off. It's a cool little kit. Anyways $59.95 go to ifixit.com slash Linus and you're good. This whole freaking thing is magnetic too. You can just pop that off. Yeah. Boom. And then the lid. This is magnetic so it's a part straight and then clips on there. Normally that. One of my favorite things to do is I take this whole thing out and then I take the lid and put it down onto the bottom and it actually perfectly fits right there. It doesn't even come off when you shake it. That's one of your favorite things to do hey. It is. Pop it on the bottom. All weekend. I just go home and I just do this. I'm like oh. Ah it's a wrong link. TGIF. That's what I needed. Also what I needed for another Segway was some Savage Jerky. You like that? What's your favorite one? Have you had a lot of this stuff? I've only had the most extreme spicy one. Oh. Just let's chill for a moment. Let's have a chill stream. Let's have an audible chewing session. Oh my. For all the headphone users. What is that called again? Is that a fetish? Oh yeah. Oh that's a version of help me. Does anyone I know who has that fetish? We're friends off because how can we ever get along? Not just eating. Like doing lots of different things. Maybe Savage Jerky doesn't want this in their sponsor spot. Maybe it's the niche they have yet to penetrate. This is getting bad. This is getting very bad. I like this jerky which is awesome. Yes it is. They have tons of different flavors. This one is teriyaki. My favorite one I'm trying to get into right now but apparently I'm not savage enough. I'll have to get there. You are getting there. Do you see your length compared to the logo here? I'm working on it. I should probably shave sometime in the next few weeks. I needed to shave literally on November 1st. Then everyone's like, hey are you doing no shave November? I'm like, ah. It looks like it. I already did no shave October so I'm a little ahead of the game. Almost December. No shave 2019. This stuff is very good. Try that. That's Linus' favorite one. It's my favorite one. Oh, cilantro. It's really good. Do you? Okay. That smells good. Cilantro is very polarizing. Yeah, but it's only like 5% of the population or something for whom it tastes like soap. I'm not one of those people. Okay, cool. I like it. Me too. I'm a fan of Mexican food. Savage grunt. They have 13 different savage flavors of jerky. People seem to love Sriracha bacon. That's been really popular. Maple buffalo bacon, probably popular in Canada. Their traditional one is really good. Mojo is my favorite one and Linus' favorite one. Mojo. Yeah. Apparently that's how you're supposed to pronounce it. I said Mojo for the longest time. What does the J stand for? Jalapeno? I'm pretty sure it's just a word, just not English. Yeah. I thought it was like an acronym, but the J for the acronym was Spanish, so it was mojo. Like, ja ja ja, ha ha ha. I don't think that's it. I'm pretty sure it's a word. I think Twitch chat will correct us. Mojo? I don't know. I'm going to continue living in my reality because it's funnier. I got it from World of Warcraft. You fight the trolls and then you pick up, I thought it was mojo. I thought it was powerful mojo. Yeah, exactly. That threw me off. Anyways, it's wonderful, tastes amazing, and you get 10% off if you go to, apparently the link is geni.us slash savagejerky on YouTube. There will be a link down in the description. You get 10% off, use offer code LTT. It's all good. Heck yeah. You did it. You said it. No. I'm doing it too much. If you are able to start a business around making shirts based on things people say, you could use FreshBooks to manage your financials. FreshBooks. FreshBooks. Heck yeah. FreshBooks is a super simple to use invoicing tool that actually does a lot more to help you create and send slick looking invoices super fast, which is one of the cool parts. You can also use it to check if someone has seen their invoice, which is good because then you can follow up and be like, hey buddy, why haven't you paid your invoice? You looked at it. Yeah. You've seen it. And they're like, oh yeah, no, I didn't get your email. It's like, actually you opened it. So I don't know. Or you can not be passive aggressive and just use it to track your finances. That would also be fantastic. If you have any questions, you can contact them, reach out to their support staff and talk to a real person immediately. No phone tree, no escalations, no return calls. You just talk to someone right away. It's awesome. I would highly recommend checking out FreshBooks. We used it on scrap your doors once and it honestly actually made the whole thing easier, which was pretty cool. Visit FreshBooks.com slash when enter when and the, how did you hear about a section and you will get a free trial, which is awesome. Free unrestricted 30 day trial. Here we go. Remember the show Orange County shoppers? Yes. And that main guy had like a tattoo on his hand that said like pay me or. Yeah, I think so. The B word. Yeah. I'm just imagining FreshBooks has like a sticker like you can send to people. There's a reader seat indicating that you have seen the invoice. A sticker. Yeah. They love stickers now. Okay. Let's do this one. This one is juicy. This one's all you. You seem like you've got it. So it's personal for you. Okay. So Logitech. Oh, let me, let me post this in the Twitch chat. Scandalous. My boys, what are you doing? It's a scandal. Okay. So, Oh, I jumped ahead a little bit. You did have this in there. Let's go here. This is a bit of a little story. There's a narrative arc when you do. Yeah. Elucidate here. So I believe it originates from here. Is this the original? It's the most, it's the most original I've seen. Okay. Yeah. So it might, might come from somewhere else, but whatever. It originates from here. Harmony link EOS or EOL. People are trying to figure out what's going on. Essentially. Let's go a little bit further back. From what I've heard, I have no actual proper source for this. I read it on Reddit. That's a thing that you can do. Apparently Logitech was fire selling, like selling at a very high discount Harmony link devices not that long ago. Fast forward and people were happy about this. That's fantastic. Fast forward a few months. What is a Harmony link? Harmony link is a universal remote for lots of things in your house, like your TV, your sound system, your lights, et cetera. It's not a enterprise product. I do not believe so. Oh, okay. I thought it was. That could be wrong. Regardless. A little quick Google here. Harmony link. There it is. Oh, maybe it is. Maybe I'm wrong. Looks kind of binnacy. Watch cable, watch Apple TV, dinner time. That sounds like home. Yeah. Back on track. Okay. So back to here. Give me a moment. Oh, no. That was the right page. Fantastic. Oh, no. It's the wrong page. Anyways. That's a little bit of a spoiler. Let's just jump to that. Well, hey, let's use your thing, actually. The next step is something I had no idea about. Logitech decided to shut down all Harmony link systems because theoretically it would not renew a technology certificate license that expires in March 2018. So because reasons Logitech's like we're no longer going to support, not only we're not going to support, we're actually going to just totally brick this product. It's not like it's that old. We were just selling them to people a couple of months ago because we knew this was coming and we wanted to make a bunch of money. Now we're bricking them. So if you own this thing, no matter when you bought it, you're just pooped. And they were giving 35% discount to purchase a new Harmony hub, which doesn't have this issue. And apparently it was an encryption certificate that if not renewed could leave vulnerabilities in the link system. We should be a little more clear though. When they were bricking it, they notified people that if it was still under warranty, you would be given a Harmony hub. But if you were out of warranty, you would have to buy this thing for a $35 discount. I think the fire sale ones that I was reading, they had a shorter warranty. I think they were like refurb shorter warranty. I don't know if that was all real though. That was just reading in some comments. That was not legitimate sources. Don't worry about that part. Consider all of that to be a rumor. What did happen is they started bricking these things and they were giving Harmony hubs to people that did have a warranty. That was how that was working. But I don't think it has ever happened where a large company has bricked something like this. Do you know, I don't know of one getting a free Harmony hub if you're under warranty, was that a response to the outrage? No. That was off the bat. No, that was off the bat. Okay. So what has now happened. Outrage ensued. Yes, outrage absolutely ensued. This was huge on Reddit, one of the top posts, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. People were super pissed off. Now after online outrage, Logitech will now replace Harmony link devices for free regardless of warranty status. So if you have one, you're good. Striking crayon, you can get a new Harmony hub. What if you don't have one? Can you extend? I'm kind of wondering if you go buy like some used one. The PR is so bad at this point if you just shake the... Hey, give me a hub. Fine, take it, take it, go, shut up. This is rough. They shouldn't have done it in the first place, but to give them some amount of credit, this is the right response. Well, it's interesting because... It's an expensive response. And this, but this response is still cheaper than them just renewing the certificate. Do you know how much that would cost? Oh yeah, so we're... It must have been cheaper, right? We're assuming, yeah. Otherwise, it would have been like, okay. It must be a wicked expensive certificate. The certificate company. There's someone just rolling. Yeah. Rolling. Except they didn't get the sale, I guess. So I don't know. That's certificate money. Yeah. So this is interesting. I'm very uncomfortable with the initial response because this has been a huge issue for me. You mean the initial play from Logitech? Yeah, the decision to just brick. Because one of the reasons why I hate devices that have to be connected to the internet is this. The ability for... If someone has a gaming console, for it to just be like, well, you can't play until you get this update. Yeah, that's baloney. Yeah. And what if you get that pushed before you're able to actually play? Or what if that's queued up? The system knows that you need an update in two weeks and then you go offline and then you can't update it anymore. It's like... I mean, there are products that you know, there's a risk assumed when you buy it because you know that it interacts with some kind of subscription service. This is a security camera and the footage is hosted off site and you have to pay every month for that. And you know, like, okay, if this company goes under and this camera is not going to work anymore. That's a risk you're assuming when you buy it. But when you're buying something when that's not explicitly stated at the time of purchase, it's just like a form of theft if they brick it later on. Yeah. So apparently, yeah, like this, for example, the Nintendo Miiverse closed down. What is that? It was like a... I didn't actually really use it, but I had a Wii U so it had it connected. I think it was like a social platform within Nintendo. You could like draw some things, you could talk to people and stuff. So it's like have a hotel for your little Miis that you create? I honestly have no idea. How come I didn't? Because I never did it. You did it a lot, didn't you? I did. I didn't. I did see it because I didn't even know how because I was that terrible. Okay. So what I did was play Mario Kart. I played the crap out of Mario Kart. And the thing is, when I would go back to the home menu, there'd be little dudes walking around on the home menu. Who are these people? There'd be speech bubbles. There'd be speech bubbles. And in the speech bubbles would be like crazy drawings and all this kind of stuff. So I think that was coming from the Miiverse. Yeah. So you could tell just by the content of the speech bubbles that it was user created stuff. Yes, it definitely was. So it was coming from somewhere. I think it was Miiverse. I don't know. So what did they do to the Miiverse? It's gone. Why? And Nintendo does that though. They shut down services on platforms that aren't that old like super fast. Interesting. And I was actually reading two completely different threads on two completely different parts of the internet at the same time that we're talking about pretty similar things because I was reading about three, I guess, technically, Logitech breaking their devices, end of life. We're just not going to do this anymore. See you later. Still the Warcraft bringing Classic back and the Miiverse thing being shut down. And it was three different companies approaches. Nintendo goes like, OK, this service on this device is no longer being supported. It's being shut down. You can still use the device. You can still play your games. But this social thing or this store or whatever is being shut down. And then Logitech goes, LOL, your device is broken. And then Blizzard, now they didn't have Classic before, but that's because they progressed their game. So you can still play custom games and stuff on Warcraft 3. So there's some companies that are just like, no, we're just going to we made this. We're going to support it forever. This is actually a good segue right now for another topic. Oh, dang. Where to go? Speaking of Blizzard. You look like you have something to say. No, you're just hanging out. Sounds good. This one. Yeah. OK, so this is pretty neat. This is this is, I guess, a similar. Starcraft 2 goes free to play after being out for a surprising amount of time. Seven years. Good Lord. Yeah. I thought it came out like two years ago. It's still a new game. It's still a new game in my books. It's like, oh, yeah, like the third expansion just came out. Like, third expansion. Yeah, but I stopped playing when Hard to Swarm came out. The second expansion. Yeah. But third part. Yeah, that's a lot of expansions for a game, though. But it's one game. Do you still play Starcraft 2? No, I. But you quit at Heart of the Storm. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. When I read this, though, I was like, we should get it, though. We should all get it. We should all play here. I shouldn't go home this weekend. Land party. To on the Casper. It's I love Starcraft. It's pretty cool. Blizzard will continue to make money off of Starcraft 2 by selling co-op commanders additional single player campaigns at $15 each or $40 for a bundle of three and other premium upgrades like announcer packs. I know they have like a Total Biscuit announcer pack and some other ones. Special skins and war chests. So that's what costs money. But what's free is you can download Starcraft 2, like the original Wings of Liberty campaign, totally for free. If you in the past bought Wings of Liberty, like me, you can get Heart of the Storm for free. Does that keep going? Because I have the first two and not the third one. Oh no, I think I bought the third one. Never mind. If you purchased an expansion pack previously, like if you bought Heart of the Storm before, then you will get ghost skin and some other swag. Three new portraits. Okay. Those kinds of things. I don't know if they're going to give you Legacy of the Void. But when you. I think I have Legacy of the Void anyway. The thing is, you're really only talking about the campaign because you get to download the single player campaign for Wings of Liberty, but it gives you access to multiplayer and on multiplayer it's to the full on multiplayer with ranked matches and it's all the units from all the expansions. But they did something kind of cool. They didn't want these people who just downloaded Starcraft to be able to do these ranked matches because people who are ranked can just light up these noobs all the time. They wanted people to have some experience when they got to the ranked play. So they make you play not a set number of matches, but you have to play against either AI or an unranked match on 10 different days. Like 10 different calendar days. Wow, yeah. 10 separate days. 10 separate play sessions, I guess. And I think a lot of that will have to do with trolls as well. Because if you make someone power up an account essentially for 10 days, that's a lot of work to troll someone. And a lot of like, because I think it's a little bit of both. There's definitely the you're protecting people from getting just stomped on. That's what they stated. They had a little quote here. Our way to preserve the quality and integrity of the ranked experience. Well, I guess that could apply to both sides of the coin. That's what I'm kind of saying. And like that's a huge issue for a lot of games. And it's a reason why a lot of free to play games have some sort of time barrier in front of being able to hit ranked play is because people that are just going to blatantly use hacks, even if they just get banned immediately. If they can just regen accounts all the time and they don't care, then it doesn't matter. And they're just going to hack and screw with people, get banned in an hour even, who cares? Then there's just trolling the hell out of people, stream sniping, whatever else is going on. I had flashbacks. I saw the screenshots, these colossus just ripping up the Marines there. I was like, oh. You have four base carriers. Hit me up. I got you. Are you Protoss? Yeah. Ah, Protoss to the grave. Ah. Are you Protoss too? That deserves a high five, dude. Nice. Yeah. I like it. Toss. My brother, ColdSC, shout out, used to cast StarCraft. Oh, for real? Yeah. It was awesome. Day9 is like one of my favorite dudes. I watched WCS in Korea. It was amazing. Oh, no way you did that? We have a little bit of, yeah, we have a little bit of StarCraft blood in our family. Oh, that's sick, man. I used to watch Husky every day. Yes. Husky, StarCraft, every day. H to the Husky, Husky. H to the Husky, Husky here. Yeah. Fuck. Anyways, we are, that's sort of it. Is there anything else you want to talk about? Let's do a little bit on about Twitter getting 280 for everybody. Yeah, okay. So that's actually been really cool. Sucks. Really? I don't like it. Why? Because the requirement for you to essentialize and boil down your point into this little art form of 140 characters was the only differentiator between Twitter and Facebook. Now it's just rants. It's just going to, you can just make a giant rant and wall attacks. I mean, it's still limited. It's still 280. It's not huge, but like I liked, I liked writing something out and being like, huh, okay, how can I shave 20 characters off this and, and getting it down to just this little snap. That was awesome. I don't really know why people wanted it to be bigger. I would have really appreciated even, okay, so what I really wanted was for tags to not count. That's one thing that really bugged me and a link, like one link, one URL link shouldn't count. That's true. And like those two things would just destroy my character counts all the time. Like you'd get into conversations where more people keep on joining and then you want to reply and your reply button, it's like 40 characters left. It's like, what? Just cause I want to continue the conversation. I only get 40 characters. Like that, that started getting ridiculous. And then they said they were going to fix that. Well this is a fix to that in a way. Yeah, it is sort of. And then just that. And then even with those fixes, I would have liked even like 10 or 20 characters more. I hear where you're coming from. 280 is kind of a lot. I actually went to go tweet out a thing. Someone asked me a question and I wanted to sort of rant it a little bit. So I decided to fill out the character thing without realizing that we now had 280. And I was like, I'm going to rant these points. And then I'm like, oh wow, I have half of this left. I wanted this to be punchy but full. And now punchy but full is like huge. It changes some of the mentality because you're like, okay, that's half of what this guy had to respond. That isn't the most packed he could have made that message because he had twice the capacity left. Yeah. I'm like, I'm going to perform because before everybody's just like snappy. I'm getting a little bit more on your side. I'm not my best self on Twitter now. I can just be like. Before, I had to like, you know, the points been made. We know. Yeah. You get it. Anyways, we'll see you guys later. Thanks for tuning into the WAN Show. The link's in the description. Everything's cool. Tune in next week. Oh, oh, oh, I almost forgot my own announcement. About this weekend, but next weekend I'm going to be doing a big 24 hour charity stream. I'm going to be doing the same thing I did last year, but with slight changes on what games will be played. So I will be playing a game starting with 1990. So I'll be playing a game from 1990 and then play that for one hour. And the next hour I play a game from 1991. Next hour, game from 1992. That's awesome. Next hour, game from 1993. And just climb through the ages. I do one of these every year for my birthday to raise a whole bunch of money for extra life. Come by, hang out, have fun, tell your friends, talk to me, talk to the chat, watch some really cool games. I only play each game for an hour, so if you don't like it, just hang out, come back. Are you going to have a company of music? You should have an album from 1991 playing. An album from 1994. That's super cool. I would get audio blacked immediately. But only for the VOD, I guess. So I could do it for the live viewers. That'd be sweet. I'm not uploading the VOD anywhere. That'd be so cool. Because then you could scrub through it and be like, oh, he's in grunge. And then, oh, whoa, system of a down exists now. That could be pretty cool. Anyways, yeah, I'm totally going to be doing that. I know game day was last weekend, but I do extra life funding the entire year round. So I don't really care about game day. So get off me. Boom. Get conked. Yeah. But anyways, yeah, come on by, hang out. It's going to be fun. Next weekend, starting Saturday at about noon. So let me look at the date for that. I'm doing nothing. I'll be at home. Heck yeah. Saturday the 19th, Saturday at noon. Hang out in the chat or something. Be there. Twitch.tv slash luke underscore lafr. Come by next weekend. Donate some stuff to Extra Life. And if you can't donate some stuff to Extra Life, that's also cool. Just come hang out. Show up virtually. Yeah. Laser James will be there. Yeah. Is your Twitch handle laser James? No, but I should change it to that. That's amazing. You know what that's from? No. The laser cutter came with these crazy superhero sunglasses for blocking the lasers. And I wore them on the last show that I was on and people, they dubbed me laser laser in the comments. Holy cow. I actually, I'm so stupid. I changed my handle recently. I should have made it laser James. I'm fired. That's anyways, show's over. We're going to play the intro again. Thanks guys. Yay. Can we get more Luke James streams? Yeah. Kick Linus out. Mutiny. Fire. LJ. Hired. Okay. Bye buddy. Yeah.
