 Possibly one of the best WAN shows we've ever had for you today. Some of our topics are... Oh, I wasn't ready for that! You got it. You know it right there. Okay, Apple employees are going to give fashion advice as we sent in the intro, and so I will no longer have to ask you, Rob, if I look good in anything. I will just ask an Apple employee. And biohackers are going to shoot stuff in your eyes and then you can see at night, which sounds really cool, I think. Cool? I think it's pretty cool. Google is going to be entering the game streaming business, which might be scary for Twitch, the thing that their logo is up there or something, if you're watching this live, I guess. Also rumors of GM200-based GTX 980 Ti? 990? 985? Who knows, but possibly a card up in that caliber. I can't believe that. It's just ridiculous, isn't it? RepRatZubble. Crazy. Anyways, intro time. But they have sound, right? I think so. She then lines drops the couch. What is your... Do you want one? Yeah. Oh, I was watching on the... Oh, God. Squarespace is awesome. You can make websites with them. They have some pretty cool stuff. You can sign up at squarespace.com. I believe Slash Linus might even give you a special code. I'm not entirely sure. Special code. We have our company website hosted there, linusmediagroup.com. You can check it out. It's pretty freaking cool. Also, Xsplit. We're using Xsplit to stream right now. That is the software that we're using. It's pretty great. I like it. I know some people like Xsplit as well that aren't me, so that's cool. You can usually find them on twitch.com. I don't know him personally, but I... Twitch.tv, I mean. Yeah. You like Mr. Xsplit? I do. Yeah. He's cool. I've met him a few times. Yeah. He's a pretty stand-up guy. Yeah. It costs money to hang out with him. That's the bummer. But then he's a really good dude to hang out with. And sometimes you gotta pay the money. Yeah. Yeah. It's just the way it is. Life is pay to play sometimes. Yep. So our first topic... Whoa, everything changed. We have electric cars that could produce more CO2 emissions in some provinces. Now for the Americans out there, our things aren't states. Nope. They're provinces. Yep. Or territories. Yep. Depending on where they are. Don't worry about that too much. But certain ones of our file folder-like provinces, they are in some areas. They are. You just confused everyone. That's okay. Yeah. Sorry. Some of the areas within our country, it might actually produce more CO2 to run an electric car than a gas-powered car. Crazy. Why does it make you crazy? Because you try to be a good person and you try to... This is extra money for a lot of people and you try to be a good person and do the right thing and you're still not doing the right thing. It's true. Although even in those areas, it might still be cheaper to fill up your car with electricity than gas. It might just be more environmentally hurting. And if you just look at it as... You shouldn't buy an electric car because you're still gonna be producing CO2 emissions. That doesn't take into account the fact that we are gonna run out of fossil fuels. Yeah. And we'll talk about that more later with Elon Musk's statement. No, no, no. I'm just saying... No. Yeah. We'll talk about that more later with Elon Musk's statement about how it's one of the dumbest experiments humanity's ever done. But we'll get into that. Maybe that'll be our next topic. But the reason why is that a lot of these states that are noted, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Nova Scotia, again, for people outside of Canada, those are just places within Canada, they don't... They're producing a lot of their electricity by burning coal. So the act of burning coal is producing huge amounts of CO2. So I don't know how much people should even lean towards this because if people buy electric cars and then there's a lot of electricity being used because of that, I expect these places to modernize. Exactly. Exactly. Technology in other areas should be coming along with the electric car. Electric is a sketchy thing to talk about in general, but it produces a lot more clean energy although you have radioactive waste. So I don't know. A lot less CO2 producing issues, I guess. Yes. Less CO2 producing, we may all glow green at some point. We might die from radiation because they're pouring into rivers in some areas. But there'll be less CO2. Yeah. So whether that's important or not, I don't know. It's up to the day. But there's also other things like the thorium reactors that people are looking into and like interesting different setups, geothermal wind. Some of these provinces could super definitely take care of wind energy. A lot of crazy wind in some of these areas. Especially a lot of these provinces are like flatland. Put some freaking windmills on that, man. Anyways, I think while it might be true now, I don't know how much I would really push people to... In other words, don't freak out that you're not necessarily doing a good thing. And it's talked in this article, which I didn't share at all, but I'll share right now. I told you to share. Man, I didn't even bring the article up either. I'm not usually the one that has to have the articles on my screen. Excuses, excuses. Oh man. Oh geez. The buttons even called Linus screen. How am I even... I don't know. Anyways, electric guitars. You went to university. Electric guitars. I'm not doing good today. I taught you to share and you went to university. I did. Anyways, here's an article that we already talked about, so I'm going to scroll up and down so it looks like I did something. Anyways, yeah, things are a little outdated. Things could change. Things could get better. Anyways. I think we have to move forward. If we look at... If we do this, then this, then this. We'll never do anything. And this is... The reason why I wanted to bring this up, even though it's a very Canadian article, is this is probably true in a lot of different areas. This one is just specifically pointing out three different provinces where by doing research it has been somewhat proven that it would be more harmful to use the electric... Why do I keep on saying cutars? I don't know. I have no idea why. It might be more harmful to use the electric cars. And I'm sure it's true in the States as well, depending on where you are. In some areas. Yeah. But then a lot of places, including places like Germany, are super... Well, I say Germany because this was an article we talked about on the WAN Show about a year ago, are ramping up their renewable energy gathering electricity stuff a lot lately, like solar and wind. I think the answer is to find a way to use CO2 to power things. I think there is. I don't remember. They're catching it off of nuclear plants and using it for stuff or something. I don't remember what it was, but it's not super effective, I think was the problem. Yes, but they can work on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. The reason I brought up the Germany thing was, I think, if I remember, I don't know if this is still true, but I think it was like Germany is producing more green electricity than the whole States or something. Those Germans, they just do stuff. It was crazy. I don't know if that article is still true. It's been a while. Anyways, we'll jump down to that other article, which is kind of near the bottom of the Elon Musk one. If you want to find it easily, you just hold control and press F. Get out of here. And then type in Elon. Hold control and press F. Yeah. Elon. E-L-O-N. E-L-O-N. Backspace is here. O-N. There you go. Then this one, it's right there. Look at that. Boom. You're really smart. Thank you. I do it for work. It's called Linus Tech Tips. It's very impressive. You should check it out on YouTube. I've heard of them. I've heard of them. They have like way more subscribers and way more views than like way more people, but they're kind of like this niche spot. Yeah, they're very niche. No, they're not weird. It's just that they're like totally successful. I was really, can I say I was mad at Sourcefed the other day? Yeah. Let's talk about this. I love Sourcefed. Okay. I have been watching Sourcefed since. Probably since they came around. Yes. Since he had a backwards baseball cap and an earrings. That's when you were watching Phil DeFranco. Yeah. Sorry. I've been watching Philip DeFranco forever and love him. I really kind of equate him a little bit to you guys. Yeah, because he was very willing to bring other people in. I see a lot of YouTubers. Solo teams. Solo teams. I understand that that's a way to go and some people are very successful that way, but Philip and Linus and yourself were very inclusive of others and other ideas and bringing other people in. I'd like to think so. Yeah. Yeah. I think that that has had a huge effect on your success. I think that's a big reason why you're both successful, both Philip DeFranco and you guys. There's definitely, not to hammer on the solo guys, there's solo guys that are bigger than we are. Absolutely. For sure. Yeah. It's a very different way of going about things. That's interesting, but why were you mad at them? Because the new platform that you guys, I'm not going to say, you're not moving to it. You're staying here. So much misinformation. Staying here, but also going to have videos on- Vessel. Vessel. Yeah. Sourcefed did a video on how they're doing the same thing and they were mentioning other folks who are going over to Vessel and they didn't mention you guys. Yeah. It's very sad. That's horrible. It was a little upsetting. We get ignored by the whole rest of the YouTube community. I'll tell people about what I do and I'm like, yeah, I do YouTube stuff. They're like, oh, do you know Jenna Marbles? And I'm like, yeah. That's what I'm saying. You guys. I know Austin Evans and Marcus Brownlee and Jace Two Cents and Barnacles and Texanakid. I'm worried now because now if I don't mention everybody, someone's going to be mad. I assume you've been mentioned. And everyone else. Yes. Because I'd probably honestly be sitting here for a little while. Yes. And I would have never started watching Philip DeFranco if I didn't. Unbox Therapy. Yes. Keep putting him in there. We don't want to tickle you. Yeah, I know. I recognize. Good job. Thank you. If I hadn't had young men. Timmy Tuck. Good. Good. In my house because I was interested in what you guys were interested in. Yeah. You guys got me started on him. So I'm definitely not the typical Philip DeFranco audience member, but I love him and I watch Sourcefed every day. Every day. And now he has his family channel. His family channel? Oh, I love it. Did he ever marry that girl? Yes, he did. It was beautiful. It was so great. And the baby. Oh, God. That is the cutest baby. Oh, no. I am not kidding you. He's got hair like you wouldn't believe. It has hair. No, but this, he's got hair like hair. Oh, he is the cutest. And they just put out their wedding video. Oh, I watched it like four times. It's so cute. I'm going to have to get a new one. I'm going to have to get a new one. I'm going to have to get a new one. I'm going to have to get a new one. And she's beautiful and he's awesome. And then there's a part where the baby's in the middle and they're kissing him and they're making a love sandwich. We used to make love sandwiches. Remember? I should have brought the picture. Oh, no. Oh, that would have been next time. I'm bringing a picture. Now no one has to guess who you are. Your dad would get on one side and I'd get on the other and I'd say, let's make a love sandwich and we'd kiss your cheeks. I think I have that photo. Yes. I think you just turned into like a 12 year old. I did a little bit. For a little while. But see, I love Philip DeFranco and that's a lesson. You think something's not going to be for you, but I started watching him because of you guys and it's years now. I've been a fan. I haven't watched him in a really long time, but I remember like. Because you're busy. Yeah. Okay. Just want to make that clear. But I remember like him and his girlfriend like first kind of started hanging out, I guess. I don't know. And then like he was having troubles with his dad's cancer or something. It's been a long time. It's not cancer, but it's okay. It's been a long time. His dad got a transplant. There we go. Very exciting. And it was one of their, sorry, that was probably loud. Sorry guys. It was one of their subscribers. Whoa. That gave one of his, I know. Is that, I didn't think you could even do that. I thought you had to like enter into the system. I'm just afraid to say too many details because I'm going to get him wrong. Right. That always sucks on the show because you're like, I'm 90% sure I know this. But if not, I will get destroyed. But no, I am 90% sure that one of his subscribers gave his dad. Did it like happen to be that way or was it like one of his subscribers like stepped up? Do you know? Do you know if Philip went on the show and let it be known that there was this situation and I think one of his subscribers. Like offered up. Yep. Like did he get a kidney or something? I think so. But that's not a lot of organs where you just be like, sure, you know, I know. And I don't want to get it wrong. And I love you Philip DeFranco family. So I don't want to insult you by getting something wrong. But I have followed them for so long. I just, yeah. Anyway. Okay. But you got to mention Linus Media Tech on some of your videos. Linus Media Tech. Sorry. Your next video from Linus Media Tech. So the reason I got tongue tied is because I almost said Luke Media Tech. Oh, there we go. Yeah. That's okay. Cool. I can take that. All right. Jumping back to tech things. Yeah. So Elon Musk came out and if I can scroll down here, said that. Is that a cool name or what? Elon Musk. That's a cool name. He's kind of badass in general. Badass name. But I'll give him that one. Okay. He's crazy. But anyways, he said burning fossil fuels is the dumbest experiment in history by far. And one of the things that I worry about in that face that was just made is a lot of people don't know and like I understand why they don't know this, but a lot of people don't know how Elon will talk. So I think what he means by the dumbest isn't like, well, some dude put 18 bottle rockets in a toilet and sat on it. That's a stupid experiment. Like, I don't think he means in that way. I think he means like, it was kind of dumb and we kept doing it. We kept doing it. And to such a large degree. And like, the thing is, Elon Musk will take in so many bits of information and slam them into a small sentence. And everyone goes, what? It happens a lot. Yeah, knowing your source and how they talk. Yeah. And that's like, I don't know that for a fact, but I'm pretty sure how he's encompassing this is in from all the different directions of how you could grade a possible experiment, including overall impact and including like economic levels and stability and all this kind of stuff. Like, I think he included all these really high brow ways of looking at it, but then put it into a sentence with one, two, three, four, five, six words. Yeah. And I suspect he was making that sentence in that way. And I can't think of the word that I want to like draw you in and have you go, what? Probably. Now there's some issues with this. Sure. He's heavily invested in solar energy as a company called Solar Cities. I believe it's called Solar Cities. I could be wrong on that one. And he's heavily invested in solar energy because he has a company called Tesla. But it doesn't completely. No. It's, it's still an interesting conversation. This was on a, I believe StarTalk radio with Neil deGrasse Tyson, who's freaking awesome. So he's the, he's the dude, I got a badass over here. And he's also like a fantastic scientist. And I know him because somebody asked for his book for Christmas. Oh yeah, I did. So it's great too. Yes. So I had to go in the bookstore and find him. So let me see exactly where it is. Cause I don't remember where the, oh, I think I have the quote in the note. Of course I screwed up already. At least I didn't show like an NDA email. Exactly. At least you didn't do that. Dodge that bullet. Showing the doc just means that they see one of the articles that we'll talk about later. It's not even a mistake. Right? Yeah. I meant that on purpose. I mean, anyways, Tyson sounded kind of surprised and asked, can you think of a dumber experiment? And Musk responded, I honestly cannot. What could possibly come of staying on oil? Which is another reason why I think he was looking at it from a lot of different angles. Cause he said staying on oil. He didn't say trying to run a car with a combustible engine. He didn't say that was the most experiment. Right. But we didn't necessarily stay on oil. No. I mean, because what were the options? There's, there's, well, that's an interesting conversation because the electric car and the gas car were conceived at very similar points in time. But how many people know that? Well, that's part of the conversation because it was fairly covered up. Potentially. Exactly. I don't know. I don't want to get into crazy politics on the show. I never liked doing that, but that's, that's a thing. And then there's that guy that you talked to forever ago. What's this story? You were. I was really young. Yeah. I just remember like being like, that's a weird automobile. I'm a small kid. I'm going to go do something else. I don't. Yeah. Seven, eight, nine years old, something like that. And I was just reading the local paper and it had an article in there about a young man who converted his truck into battery power and only battery power. And I just thought that was the coolest thing ever. So I did a little investigating. We had no Google back then. No. So I actually worked. You probably had to like call the newspaper or something. I did. Yes. I must've done something like that. And we tracked him down and we went to see him and looked at his truck and that was a long time ago. Oh yeah. And he was making it all the way to Vancouver and back from Langley. So he was getting obviously at least an hour. Yeah. Right. He had a, he had a, there was a lot of car batteries, right? Yes. I think it was a lot of strung together car batteries. Yeah. Lined up in the back of his truck. Yeah. But he had to have that noisemaker tank. Well, that's interesting because when I was reading this article, it makes a big deal about how the car is silent and I'm not sure that's a good idea. And that's what made me remember going to see this young man in his truck because legally he had to rig it somehow that the truck made a noise. Noise, yeah. And when you think about it, that's a big deal. Like how many people are now, especially looking down at their phones and texting and crossing streets and things, if you've got silent cars, this is not a good thing. That's another thing though is a lot of gas powered cars are getting really quiet too. That's true. Yeah. Gas and like petrol, diesel, diesel's pretty loud. And not just people, but what about ducklings? On the animals in general. Yeah, it's interesting. There's the pedestrian horn in a lot of cars where it's like a quieter horn, but you'd be like, I'm here, please move. But see, when cars make a lot of noise, if the driver's not paying attention, the other person can be paying attention. Yeah, I know, I know. I hear you. And one thing about a combustible engine is it can often just sound scary. Yes. Which on the other hand, what would our world be better if we didn't have the noise of cars? Yeah. If we had them all quack like little duck. Seriously, wouldn't that be cute? Instead of like you hear, oh, and big semi trucks could be quack, quack, quack. But if you're a regular size car, what do little ducks say? They go quack, quack, quack, quack, quack. Yeah, like what would a smart car be? Or one of those like car to go things which might be smart cars. The smart, the little guys? Yeah. Oh, they'd be little tiny things. They go beep beep or wee wee or something. Wouldn't that be funny? Wouldn't that be better? I think you might have a hard time passing that as law. I don't know. If you have to vote between rrrr or beep beep, what are you going to choose? Okay, straw poll. Straw poll. Straw poll. One second. That was too loud. Sorry guys. Sorry. If all the cars went beep beep beep. Oh my gosh. What? Just going to work in the morning would cheer you up. It would be so cute. That's an interesting one. I wonder if like overall happiness would go up or down. Exactly. I think people would be like wow, I don't want to freaking hear that anymore. That's why cat videos are so popular. People want a little cuteness in their life. And recently... But maybe too much cuteness. No such thing. No such thing. Did you see the Facebook frog that was going around a little while ago? Cute little frog and when he opens his little mouth, his little beep comes out. Seriously. Beep beep beep beep. There's the sound. Okay. I just dropped hold that. We'll come back to it in a second. I'm going to jump to a technical... Before you jump, I'm going to jump. I just want you all to know this is my voice. And I'm not like this. And when minus imitates me, this is not really how I talk at all. I just want to get that out there. I feel better. Okay. I'm good. Carry on. So our next topic which I will share in the Twitch chat at the same time because I don't think I've been doing a very good job of that. Shabwomp. Shabwomp. It is Nvidia readying GM 200 base GeForce GTX 980 Ti. Why is it green? I hate it when they do that. Right? It just, it sucks or it's great. Do you know which one? I know. That's actually very applicable. Holy balls. Last week on the WAN Show, we were talking about Titan X and stuff and I don't remember how we got onto this topic, but another high-end GPU from Nvidia. And I said they might do it. And I said they might not because they're out of names because the 980 is already a fully unlocked chip. They're out of names? In this category. Don't worry about it. So now people are bringing up if they're going to release a 980 Ti which they shouldn't because it's already a fully unlocked chip and usually Ti means that it's unlocked but then not always because of other Ti versions have been different. Confusing. It can't really be a 990 because that usually means a dual GPU card. So it can't really be any of those. They could bring that back to the 8.5. It could be a 985. What about GTX sunflowers? I don't think. Why? I don't, I don't, maybe their GPUs should quack. That would be great because we have one computer in our house that just goes all the time. What was that? The one downstairs. The one by the TV? Yeah. Really? Yeah. It's loud man. Okay. I can probably replace that for you. And they had that little yellow dock. I could put the little yellow dock beside the computer and if the computer made the quacking sound. But would you not get tired of that? Like I can't imagine that quacking literally 24-7. What would you prefer? Or quack-quack? But you can probably drown out because it's predictable and similar to white noise. But quack-quack brings lovely images to mind. Okay. Anyways, it should have 3072 CUDA cores, 6GB of memory compared to the 12GB on the Titan X. Really? Same memory bus width of 384 bit. And AIC partners like EVGA and ASUS and whatnot will be able to make custom designs for it which is huge because if it is the same chip as a Titan X and people will be able to have custom power delivery options and custom coolers on it and stuff, that would be great. Custom picture of a duck? You know what? There's people that can make acrylic backplates for your graphics card that can have whatever you want on it. So you could get one of a duck. That could totally happen. And yeah, they could have other factory overclock speeds and stuff. Because one of the big problems with the Titan X as you guys saw in my video on it is it thermal throttles like immediately. So if you have that same chip maybe at a different level of unlock or something, less memory, whatever this card comes out with. It wouldn't thermal throttle? It might not. Because people might be able to come out with custom cooling solutions for it which could be fantastic. I don't know. That makes me pretty excited. I clicked on the wrong thing again. Jeebers. Jeebers. I'm still getting used to this. I love how my auto sensor comes in. I say stuff like Jeebers. Jeebers? I don't think I've said Jeebers in like years. Gee, I wonder why you're saying Jeebers. Oh my goodness. Anyways, jumping back out. That's interesting. I hope this happens because new graphics cards are one of the only super exciting things in computers right now. Seriously? CPUs seem to be like almost... I'm going to say too fast but I don't mean too fast. A lot of applications aren't really using them properly. We don't have properly... Okay, with a CPU you have cores, right? You have an i7-2600K. That has four cores and four hyper threads. Four and four. Yep. You have kind of eight lanes. Think of it like a road. A lot of applications are only programmed to use two to four of them. So it's a waste. They'll just not use the others. Not being used. It's not very well balanced. No. Or they'll be like, yeah, we're going to use core one and two a lot and core seven. It's like, what? Yeah, no, spread it out. Exactly. But they're not that good at that yet. So it's frustrating. So upgrading your CPU like crazy often doesn't even help that much. Memory, like a lot of it can be somewhat boring. And then every single time that a new graphics card comes out, it's like, yeah, because graphics cards affect your games a lot. Like a lot, a lot. A lot of games lean heavily on graphics cards. And then even stuff like folding. Our folding team currently is like number three in the world in terms of active folders. And our boink team is awesome too. We just need to get you cheering for everything. No, I know about these. Yes. I'm aware. My dad is super hard going. And it's very cool. And that's why I have computers in my house that make a lot of noise because they're doing the folding. Right. Because that computer's running boink. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, graphics cards often push a lot more in those fields as well. So like. And if something doesn't look good, it takes a lot away from it. Yeah. Yeah. If you're trying to play a game and it's like, not even gaming, like everybody watches videos, everybody goes on YouTube. That will usually be more determined by your monitor's quality. So if you have a monitor that's really good, has a nice resolution, good contrast ratio, although that's a really sketchy topic, is an IPS panel, like all those kind of things. Okay, good point. That's why you walked by my desk a couple of years ago and went, that's a crappy monitor and swapped me a new one. Okay, gotcha. Yeah. Because when I looked at it on the side, it was like, it had what's called color shift. So like it looked, all the colors were weird and off and stuff. If you look at it right in front of it, it can maybe look fine. But when you look at it on an angle at all, it'll look really garbage. So when I walked past your computer, I was like, that looks gross. I got you an IPS panel monitor. It's very nice. Yeah. Speaking of which, I need to get your SSD. Yes. She's been having a lot of problems. How fast should Luke get me an SSD? Oh, geez. Really, really fast. No, that DNS cloudflare driving me nuts. Okay. So that's not entirely, that's just your computer's just kind of messed up right now. Stronghold, who thinks I should have a messed up computer when I have him? Well, see, you won't tell me when things go wrong. Because I don't want to bug you. I know, but then you tell me when they're like catastrophically wrong. It's true I do. But I don't want to bug you. But I'm to the point now with the DNA. Your current one, I need to come over and fix some things. I think she's got some crazy networking problems. I don't know if it's a router or what, but something's going on. Anyways, 62% of people said aggressive engine noise and 38% of people said blackout. Oh, seriously, guys? That's not a bad percentage. I obviously thought you'd get less votes than that. You thought it was going to be worse? Okay. Although, if I added like banana, most people would have voted for that. Oh, I see your point. You never really know. You know, I'm thinking on like political polls, like when you go to vote for someone, they should just add like fruits and vegetables or pizza at the bottom and then just be like, how serious are people right now? Would you rather vote for the idea of pizza tasting better than fruits and vegetables than your political party leader? Because if you would, then they're probably doing something wrong. It's a good idea. Yeah, it's a good idea. It is. Anyways. All right, I'm going to switch back to no guest and try to jump to our next topic. Okay, so this is, this is interesting. I don't know what your stance on this is, but Apple retail employees being trained to give people fashion advice. Are you facepalming? I'm not even facepalming on this one. I want to, I want to, what do you think? I feel bad for those employees. Okay, they have to, they have to come up with a comment on someone's fashion taste. That's putting them in a really awkward spot. But if you are like, you're an employee at a retail store, you have to give people suggestions based on their lifestyle. Yes, but those employees, I'm assuming, considering that they all wear blue shirts and khaki every day are hired for their technical knowledge. But you have to, no, not necessarily because the guys behind the counter, the genius bar guys are kind of like the geekswatery kind of style thing. Or like the just general help you with your computer thing. The rest of the people are just sales, I think. I might be wrong. I think that's how the Apple store works. Behind the desk people. Yeah, I've known a lot of young people who've worked at Best Buy, I just happen to have known that. And I when I think of them, I think nerd in the most wonderful possible way. Yes, but you knew a lot of people that worked in Geek Squad. That's behind the table kind of same style, I think, as genius bar people. I don't know, I might be getting that wrong. But I think that's where the techie ones go is the genius bar guys. Fair enough. But what happens when this 18 year old techie guy is looking at this young lady and he has to come up with something to say about her fashion? Yeah. No, I know, I know. I get that. But it's still a retail store. They still have to make suggestions based off things. And what you're going to get is you're going to have a huge, there's tons of Apple employees in stores. You see an army of blue shirts every single time you walk by there. Well, or go in there. I don't know. But if there's young ladies that also work there, which is probably true, because the crew usually looks pretty diverse. Yes, true. In like all possible ways. True. It's you can talk to them and be like, okay, well, what ones would you like? Yes. Like they don't, and when you're a retail store employee, you especially when it's not like a grocery store, when you're like trying to recommend products to people, you're doing it based on experience. Yep. In a lot of businesses, we talk about scope and not working out of your scope. And I kind of feel like they're asking their employees to work outside of their scope. Some of their employees, I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, they don't do anything on an individual basis. So this is, if this is a new policy, it's going to be for everybody. Probably. And I think it's odd. And I also think for the customer, it's odd. So if I walk in there and I'm looking at tech and somebody walks up to me and says, at the same time though, if you walked in and you were like, I want the pink one, he's probably not going to be like, well, I think based on your fashion sense that you should take the black one because you said you wanted to a specific one. He might try to upsell you on the actual watch bit. But that's because I walked in saying I want the pink one. I'm feeling for the employee and the customer when they walk in and I don't know what I want necessarily and he's got to take his brain off tech and put it onto. If he's any good of a salesman, he'll go, let's try a few and try to give you a range and you're allowed to try them on. But that what's reported is they're supposed to make a comment about their fashion sense. Yeah, that's the part that's getting me. I don't remember exactly where it is. I'm going to take this off screen because I'm trying to be pro about this. Yeah. They're supposed to make a decision about quote unquote or quote and I'll unquote later. People get mad about that. You seem to have a fun style. I think the pink sport band would match your style perfectly unquote. And let's just hope that the poor person who's working doesn't say that to an emo person because you know, see what you probably wouldn't. But not everybody is socially savvy. There's a lot of people who are not socially savvy. And it's just there's so much room for it to be taken wrong and so much room for it to go wrong. And I just think it's a little bit silly. It's sketchy but I don't know. I think they'll I think they'll probably be all right. Anyways, in other news, there is also the new Tesla spotted. We're not going to talk about this a ton, but I will show you guys the thing. It's also covered up really heavily. Well because they didn't want anybody to know. Right? It's it's also it's covered up really heavily and super obviously it which I find to be like a weird mix. I'll jump back here. So that's the Tesla Model X. There's you can even I'm not going to hear I'll mute it. The video audio is really bad. So I'll mute it. But here's the video. You can see it's hard to see in this video. But if you open it up, you can see the Tesla logo on the back. It's just covered in white. Yeah, it's just covered in white. And like their their headlights are heavily covered in white. And the logo on the front is like covered, but you can still see the shape of it. Like it's still very obviously a Model X. And I love how like the guy notices that he's filming and he takes off. I'm out of here. Oh, jeez. Anyways, however, maybe it was meant to be noticed. Yeah, super, super possible. Definitely super possible. I wouldn't put that past them at all. That's a really good marketing move. A lot of times when things leak, like it's super happened on purpose. And you'll you'll notice because it's like specific good things that will leak usually. That's honestly usually how it goes. Another more techie topic. Give me one second. Intel and Micron announced 3D NAND production opens up the potential gates for 10 terabyte SSDs, which is ridiculous. 10 terabytes. Whoo. Yes. You have a two terabyte hard drive. OK. And that's it. Oh, I'm way behind. So you need. Yeah, I need to get you an SSD. But what I'm thinking about getting you is like a 256 gig SSD. Is that good, guys? Not a 10 terabyte one. No, because that's insane. And one thing that's interesting about this article. Insane can be very good. It can be. I'm going to jump to line of screen. I'm also whoa. Give me one second. I want to. Do some things. Oh, that sucked. I broke things. Give me a moment. There we go. How do you know? How do you know it's an SSD I need? Because because it's the market is kind of shifting. It's turning before for a long time. It was like, just get a hard drive and that's all you need and you're fine. And then when SSDs first came out, it was like SSDs are really expensive. So probably just get a hard drive in a lot of situations because they're really expensive and they're possibly sketchy right now. And now they're much more affordable and it's way faster, especially for the kind of things that you'll be doing. OK. Once you get into a game, it's not really going to affect anything. OK. But you're not you'll do less gaming. Yep. So yeah. Anyways, there's there's a bunch of different quotes in here where they're like, oh, it'll drive the price of everything down. Yes, probably. I don't know by how much it'll probably keep on just following the trend that it has been for the most part, because 10 terabyte is going to still be crazy expensive. I can pretty much guarantee you that they will ride that money train that they can for 10 terabyte for quite a while. And yeah, SSDs are dropping like a rock and have been for a long time. So I assume they'll just continue doing that. I don't think it's going to be like suddenly sharper. All of a sudden, have you got one ready? No, you have to go find me one. Oh, an SSD. Yeah, I don't have one yet. I have to go get you one. Okay, after the show. Whoa. I don't know if the store will still be open. You can order it online. Yes, that's possible. Okay. Um, it's yeah, a huge massive high volume of data over three times the D3 technology, and they'll be getting a maximum of 48 gigabytes per memory die, which is crazy in 3D stacking, which is absolutely badass. Sounds like I need that too. I don't know if you need a 10 terabyte SSD. Well, I think that might be a little bit excessive. I hope I hope we get one of these. I don't know. I believe the two and a half inch SSDs are the 10 terabyte capable ones. Yeah, it looks like it potentially over 10 terabytes. And m.2 drives will be probably somewhere around 3.5 terabytes, at least at the beginning, which is, I don't know, that's, that's pretty cool. We've kind of known this was coming for a long time. I didn't actually think it was gonna be that crazy. So that's actually quite exciting. Cool. But yeah, I just want to try one because it can be really interesting because once you get opportunity, buy me one, I will let you try it. They're not even like close to being out yet. So I can't buy you one, unfortunately, but an SSD. And they're gonna be crazy. Yes. A general SSD. I can not a 3D NAND 10 terabyte one. But it's gonna be interesting when people are able to move to essentially all solid state drive for their computer. Now I don't mean long term backup because you're still probably gonna want hard drives for that because when a solid state drive dies, it's dead. Like you're with when a hard drive dies, you can like replace the platters into something else so that they can be read off off of a different motor if the motor fails or if the needle fails or if it dies in general. And that's not the reason you can sometimes use data recovery tools to get things back. Or if you wipe it by accident, you can use data recovery tools to get it back, which is nice. And there's a silver disc in there. If you take it out and you pound it with a hammer and you shape it and then you put like a jewel thing in the center, it's a really cool decoration piece. One of my friends does that. Yes, I actually remember that. They look fantastic. I can bring one. I'll bring one next time. People have used them actually for a lot of different art installations and stuff. Because they're actually pretty sweet. And if you have a hard drive running and then like drill a hole through it, well drill a hole through the back first and have a hard drive running and then like poke them out while they're spinning, they just take off and roll across the floor really quickly. Oh, we have to try that. Because they spin at like 10,000 RPM. Why has that not been on a Superfund video? There's a... we should do that for Superfund. There's YouTube videos of it. Well, there's not a Superfund video. And like there's a YouTube video where they built a ramp at the end. So they all go flying up the wall. Oh, right on. It's hilarious. We try and shoot them over the house. I don't know if they go that fast. We should get your dad and your brother to run across and we try and shoot them with it. Make like hard drive disc guns? Exactly. Yes. Oh my God. Yeah. They can have a small shield. Taryn can probably help me make one of these. Yeah. Because we just need... we need a handle and like the trigger mechanism would just push the rod. Yep. So it would have like a hard drive or multiple hard drives sitting there spinning and just an ATX power supply that has its 24 pin pinned. Yep. So it's constantly running. It's gotta go multiple. Multiple hard drives? Oh, absolutely. So then every single time you pull the trigger, it could shoot like four of them. Exactly. That could actually be sick. Oh my God. Okay. Sounds like a plan. I gotta tell Taryn to do that. Anyways. Taryn! Yeah, we can't yell. We do that way too much. YouTube reportedly challenging Twitch with a new streaming service. This is actually super interesting. Give me one moment. I'm trying to think of the negative. There's... I don't think there's a negative in having more competition for Twitch. Obviously there is already competition for Twitch. Not that we don't love Twitch. Yes. The competition is just good. There's like a hit box and other things already competing with Twitch. But I don't know. I worry about a few things. One of the big reasons why Twitch is good, and like, okay, Google is planning to step up their game and do a lot of sponsorship style stuff and do exclusive events on their streaming service and a lot of this kind of stuff. But one of the reasons why Twitch is huge is the potential income level of the streamers through subscriptions, not through ads. Okay, that is... So people will subscribe so that they can get a custom icon in chat and have other custom icons in chat when they type. So they can have custom emoticons, sorry. And sometimes streamers can put it to subscriber only chat so only their subscribers can talk. And there's a bunch of different benefits potentially for streamers, for subscribers. And I don't really see the YouTube one doing that. They might. Because it's already streaming on YouTube. It's just kind of crap, to be completely honest. And another problem with that is it uses your real name and stuff. If you want to talk in chat, which is always gross, although I think they're being more lenient about that now. I don't know. I haven't been saying on top of that. They might not be doing that anymore. But it's just the YouTube streaming platform, in my opinion, has never really been as good as Twitch's. And Twitch has super good game integration and stuff. And I'm sure it's Google. They could do something. Exactly. They could make things better. And they probably will because it's Google. So they'll figure it out. But subscriptions are super, and not YouTube subscriptions, they're very different. Twitch level paying subscriptions are super important for high end streamers who want this to be their job. Yes. Yes. So I am like, I know YouTube is going to try to acquire people. And like, I'm going to stop it from being on the article for a sec. But I believe they're already working on little packages. Let me see. Google wants to do it bigger and better with major sponsorships and exclusive events. That's not too surprising. And there will be huge opportunities for established streamers and organizations soon. And I would say that record numbers of esports viewers are only going to grow when Google starts partnering and promoting these events. I agree with that. I agree that it will probably grow. The huge opportunities for established streamers. I think people are going to be fairly careful about that. Because their subscribers on Twitch are extremely important. And if they're already really established on Twitch and already have a huge subscriber base, it's extremely risky. Because you're probably going to be picking one or the other. We have the nice advantage of being able to upload our archived videos all over the place. We upload them on Vessel, YouTube, Facebook. Facebook gets like 30,000 views every time we upload it. We upload them on Dailymotion, I think it's called. I don't know, that one's small. We upload them all over the place. Just so that if someone wants to be able to watch a nice tiktok video on a platform they can. That's generally the idea. But if you're a streamer, I don't think they're going to be too happy if you're streaming on the same platforms at the same time. And that would be crazy data rate anyways. It's going to be really difficult for them. It'll be interesting. It's going to be very interesting. It really depends on how heavily YouTube decides to compensate. And it's not, I think it's not so easy just from personal experience to get people to switch a platform. Once you're used to something and you enjoy it and you've been going there for a long time, that habit takes over. Yeah completely. You're used to viewing a certain area. You might have friends that you talk to that view in that same area. Forgot your password. Bookmarks. So you kind of stuck there. That's probably more of your problem. Anyways yeah it's going to be interesting but I don't know. Let's jump a little bit. The Xbox One, we all like making fun of consoles so that's not too surprising that we're going to be talking about Xbox One here for a moment, is doing bad things. The bad things that it is doing is it's using up way too much freaking power. Like way too much power. So this was posted by oh geez, Matt12046. I need to go back and do some shoutouts because I totally forgot. The YouTube streaming service one was by Sargent Ballistic. Intel and Micron 3D NAND was by Amit Mariasef. I hope I said that right. New Tesla Spotted was by You. Apple Employees to Give Fashion Advice was by You. NVIDIA. NVIDIA. NVIDIA. NVIDIA. So sorry. No problem. Reading GM200 Base GeForce GTX 980 Ti was by SirGameAlot. Yep. Electric Cars was also by You. So a lot of them have just been from You so far. Good work. Good, good, good pre-research. Anyways, back to the Xbox thing. This was by, I already said it. I'm going to go to the actual article because his doesn't have a lot of pictures. It's sucking a lot of energy because... Because of standby mode. So don't turn it into standby. Yes, but normally if you don't change anything and you live in North America, I believe in Europe it's automatically set this way, but if you don't change anything and you turn your Xbox off, it just goes into standby, not off. So that... Now, we talked about this a little bit before the show. Yeah, not a lot. And you were like, that's silly because you're going to listen to you and everything. If you think you're pushing the off button, it should turn whatever you're pushing the off button on off. That's creepy. It's going to listen to your family talking. Yeah, because voice stays on. That's creepy, creepy. And you mentioned that they make it hard to actually get it off standby. It's not like technically difficult, but it's buried in menus so that you wouldn't necessarily find it very easily. To the X power of pi 70,000, creepy. X power of pi 70,000. That one. Badass. Totally creepy. Obviously, they don't want you to be able to turn it off easily. Yeah, I think probably the voice listening thing is sketchy, but to be honest... Selling your private information to bad guys. I don't know if that's... Why else are they doing that? Both of these, this is an Android phone and iPhone. I'm using both of them right now. It's driving me insane. Both of these have listening features. The iPhone... They could be listening to us right now. Oh, I guess we're on... They are. And we're already streaming anyways. How do you know if it's on or not? The Android one's always on. I have it set up that way. It doesn't have to be set up that way. You can turn, hey Google Now... Wow, it didn't even work. Wait, no, it's okay. You're living in a false security. You think that that's just so you can say, hey Google Now, see it doesn't even work. But what it's really doing is taping all of your personal conversations and then it's going to sell that information to bad guys. It's Google, so probably. But what's funny about that is there's an archive of what it's heard. You can find it online on your Google account. And I've gone back and played through most of it and it's funny. That's terrible! The unintentional ones can be pretty hilarious. Are you not realizing how terrible this is? It's really bad. And this one is... The iPhone's one is Hey Siri. But I don't think it's always listening. I think it's just listening when it's plugged in. So you have no personal life information. Well, I already didn't. Well, that's true. But I do and I would like to keep it that way. Stuff is listening to us. This is freaking me out. Yeah, it's a thing. No! It's a thing. Edward Snowden, when he gets interviews, he has people put their phones in the freezer and stuff. Because it would be so easy to... Yeah. It would be so easy to tap in. Anyways, ignoring that completely, what I think is really what they're trying to do here is make it seem like the performance is better. Why? Because if it's in standby mode, it can fully boot faster. Oh, no, no, not buying that. I think that's more the reason. They might be listening to stuff too. Whatever. I'm not going to say they're not. But I think it's the faster boot thing. You're going to talk about that you need to run out as fast as possible and buy me an SSD and you're going to get ads for SSDs on your computer. How do you think that happened? Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do I'm probably going to get ads for SSDs on my computer because I look up SSDs all the time. Do you think? It's because they're listening. You wear a bigger tinfoil hat than I do. Little bit. Little bit. Little bit. The voice activated stuff, I really like voice activation, but what I want is localized voice activation. The problem with Google's one. The voice activations don't work anyway. We just showed that. The problem with the Google one, I don't know much about the iPhone one, but problem with OK Google Now. Oh my God, it didn't even work. What are you doing? He doesn't want to talk back. He'll miss something we're saying. Probably. Yeah. Talk back. Is is that it sends it back to Google servers to be analyzed. And to all the bad guys. But what I want is localized stuff and there's work being done on that too. I want it to process it locally. I've actually been looking into creating my own so that I have full control over it. Creating your own voice listening thing so that I can hook it. So I want to hook up a whole bunch of. But if you market it, you cannot sell the information to bad guys. I don't want to market it. I want it to be just my thing. But I want to set up a whole bunch of mics around my place and then have them all funnel into one computer and have it not save anything. You're talking Star Trek. Computer I'd like my water at 67 degrees. Yes. No. But like my own thing. Yeah. I want to run it myself. I don't want any of the data to go out. I almost want to have it on a computer that's not networked. But the bad guys will think of a way to get your information. Technically it's not networked. There's still ways they can do it with like weird thermal imaging crap and all that stuff. But it wouldn't be connected to the internet. So it's extremely unlikely. They can even do it with like sound. Sure Luke. Sure Luke. Yeah. I'm sure you're right. I'm sure there's no bad guys getting your information. Amazon is announcing unlimited cloud storage plans which I freaked out about at first and was so excited. This was posted by Ah Ming on the forum just like everything else that gets posted on the forum. There we go. We have cloud already. Why? But this is unlimited for 60 bucks a year. Don't we have clouds that have like loads of room in them already? Yeah but okay the reason why I freaked out was because I was like oh my goodness we can upload the like 30 terabytes of data that the company has and it will cost us 60 bucks a month or 60 bucks a year. Where's that data right now? Local. Hard drives and stuff. And like we don't have to worry about the security of that really because it's just a big archive for us. We upload it all to YouTube anyways so who cares. But not really gonna work. I did some research into like the terms and conditions and stuff. Must be used for personal non-commercialized reasons. But why would that be better? Because then you just wouldn't have all these hard drives? Because it's cheaper. If we wanted to upload that much data like 30 something terabytes because the thing is our server isn't 30 terabytes but we have archived hard drives that aren't on the server. So I'm assuming we have somewhere near 30 terabytes. It might even be more than that. It's very likely more than that. If we wanted to upload all of that somewhere. You have to buy the hard drive. No we'd have to pay for the service and it would cost huge amounts of money. Or we could have our own offsite server which is more likely at this point. But yeah. And like I would really like offsite storage. So they're purposely not making it available to businesses because businesses will have way more. Because they know they do exactly what I wanted. And be like yeah massive amounts of data. Or like professional photographers uploading all of their shoots up there all the time. Huge amounts of data. Or professional videographers doing weddings. Alright I'll dump all of the footage from the wedding here. I won't even have a local storage array. I'll have like maybe a hard drive or two so that the stuff I'm working on. But then everything else can be archived up there. Like it would be really hard for them to do. Of course I'm sure some people are going to get around it but like we wouldn't be able to. But if you've got all your stuff out there in the cloud the bad guys can go grab that cloud and then they have all your stuff. Yes. And this is actually why I'm an advocate for local storage. This is why I have my own local storage server and stuff. But there's also the like 3x3 have it in three different formats in three different locations argument. Which if something's super important you can't lose it. You want it in multiple locations. Now traditionally that's been. But how many people are going to do that? Yeah and for super important data people still recommend like on site with raid redundancy which does not count as a backup with raid redundancy and then off site. So like I would have something at my house with raid redundancy and then also at like your house and then if it's super important I'd have like a copy of it on a hard drive or something in a safety deposit box. Right. I don't really have anything that important. Yeah. To be honest. Yeah because the bad guys have all your information already. Pretty much. So there's really no. I mean like the new taxes like Turbo File or whoever the crap that I use I don't even remember just has my last year's ones. Exactly. So why worry. I don't know. Oh well whatever. But yeah it's pretty cool. Google already offers like 100 gigabyte plans for pretty cheap and all that kind of stuff. But if you have tons amount of storage that could be cool for you. Amazon servers are pretty badass. Where's the mouse? There it is. Swoop. Alright. Jumping back. OK so this you cringed a little bit when you saw this. Well who's not going to cringe. I hear you. I'm going to warn people a little bit. This is a pretty sketchy freaky image. Some people won't like it. So be mindful of that before we go. This was posted by Mr. Mindheads on the forum. My phone is freaking out. Is this important stuff? It can't be me because I'm here. When I phone him he doesn't answer. He's doing the show anyway. Nick's talking about some quote that you did or something. Did I do something wrong? I don't know. It's probably fine. I think he said LOL. So it's probably OK. We can figure that out in a second. I'm going to switch here. So what we're talking about is biohackers are injecting your eyeballs with night vision. Well OK. More specifically they're injecting your eyeballs with CE6 or what is it? Like chlorine E6 or something? Chlorine E6. And what do we know about chlorine E6 after it's been in your eyeballs for say three months? I don't know anything. And I didn't see anything in this topic. No and I read the article too. Here's the guy with his eyes all done up. Is that creepy? That's like horror movie level isn't it? And hoping that it... Like imagine he was coming at you with like... OK we're not saying that it stays like that right? I don't think it stays like that. It better not stay like that. It doesn't last for very long. If it stays like that I'm against it. The night vision effect doesn't last for very long. Whoa. Whoa. Get out of here. I got out of here. I don't want anymore stories. Anyways. The bad guy is trying to get your attention. You take it and quantify it and write it down and release it. That's how science works. It's flashing. That's OK. I thought he was talking about how fast it would go away. Anyways it allows him to see... What is this? No no. Carry on. Do your thing. OK. It allowed him to see at about 50 meters and he could see people at night in a forest at 50 meters even if they're standing up against a tree so it would be hard to see. He had a 100% success rate. The control group had about 33% or they'd get it one third of the time. Why? That's weird. No he could see better than them. Oh the control group. Oh gotcha. OK. Because they had to see if it was actually an improvement. He was able to see symbols about the size of someone's hands in very very very much darkness at about 10 meters away. Whoa. You know it does creep me out a little bit but there's that side to it where I'm thinking you know people with vision problems how much could this help somebody. You know. It's interesting. The first thing I thought of was like oh military applications. They could have like goggles that like auto... Because it looks like it's just a drip. Yeah. Because I don't think they'd do an injection if the guy's just holding it and he said it was like a very thin turkey baster style thing. Yeah. So I don't really know but if they could like quickly do it for military applications that could be interesting. But if they're wearing goggles probably already got night vision ones. Right but how much easier if you don't have to wear those big goggles. The honkin like burp. I don't know. I don't know. But if it messes with your eyes. If it messes with your eyes it also only works for a little while and it's temporary which could be a problem for military style applications. Yeah. It's interesting. The guy looks crazy either way. Now I've seen eye tattoos before. And that's what this reminded me of. Let me let me drop the screen and let me look this up because I don't know what it's going to come up with. Have you never heard of that? On your eyeball? Yeah tattoos on your eyeball. Get the freak out. That's not possible. Well I think they do it in like jail and stuff. Like on the skin around your eyes. Yeah okay. No no. Okay so line of screen. So we'll click in like like this dude. See how it's green. That's tattooed? I I don't I think so. That dude is black. Shut the door. This dude it's blue I think. He's got crazy tongue stuff going on too. Okay that one's a little weird. This guy's got like light blue it looks like. No he looks like a Viking. No no no. That's badass. No. This dude's got one yellow one. Okay the other topics that we want to talk about today are Facebook shares at an all time high. Right. How weird is that? Sorry to cut you off but that was gross. No no that's cool. Ew. I understand. I get it. You know what the audience is probably happy about that anyways. Yeah someone's like this is disgusting get off the screen yada yada yada. Yeah okay cool. Don't worry about it. But the Facebook shares up surprised me. Do we have an article for this? I think we do. Where was it? It was near the bottom or something. I'm trying to find it. You keep going. It surprised me because you hear about everybody's going to jump off Facebook and go somewhere else and I know there were a couple times that that was supposed to happen that didn't happen and I'm a good example of that. I don't like Facebook because of some of their policies but I can't get off the thing. I look at Facebook every day. I'm going to admit it. I look at Facebook every day. It's an excellent way for me to keep in touch with everybody and see what everybody's doing but all the talk is always Facebook bad, Facebook negative. So to hear that their shares had gone up didn't make any sense. They've been doing a lot of really interesting stuff lately and from a creator standpoint it's honestly a lot more powerful than a lot of other things. Interaction through Facebook is huge. If I tweet something out quite a few people will go look at it. If I post something on the Linus Tech Tips Facebook and this is the same for Linus. He has a much bigger Twitter following than I do but it's the same for Linus. If we post something on Linus Tech Tips Facebook it will explode. It's astronomically different the amount of people that will go from Facebook compared to Twitter and that's the same with like Instagram. Instagram also has a lot of push more than Twitter because Instagram is more permanent. Twitter is so fast. Things will fly by within like a minute. It'll be completely gone. Instagram something will stay there for a little bit longer. It'll be in the front of people's feeds for a little bit longer. Facebook if it's doing well will just go to so many people and be right in their view. If you ask people do you like Facebook you most often you'll get a negative response. But at the same time everyone uses it. And Facebook is shifting lately. They're moving away from like the hackathon try everything and break it and see what works style to a more stable development style. They've been talking about this lately where they're trying to make it so that people can make money more consistently on their platform. Instead of it being this ridiculous like holy crap mafia wars is amazing and Farmville is amazing. They're making billions of dollars. So everyone trying to make copycats and make all these crazy Facebook games and like okay Facebook games are old so let's try doing this other thing and like da like this crazy fest. They're shifting to like okay this is an intelligent model. Let's grow with this and try to make this like a continual interesting thing which is bigger for businesses which is probably why their stocks are going up. Yeah. Not necessarily because their users are like oh this is great because Facebook has a billion and one issues with stuff like privacy. Yes. Reading your text messages and listening to phone calls if you have their app installed and the amount of just times that they change their privacy settings and open things up. Yeah. Frickin nuts. But we're all still there. But no one leaves. Well okay people leave but not enough. Not enough people to actually make an impact. And a lot of people just come back. So I don't think they're that scared of people leaving anymore because people leave for like half a year and then just come back. Right. It's like okay whatever. I don't like that I can't get what I want. Like you're the pre show show role that the little pre show thing you do I often don't get that. That's YouTube. Oh but no but it's oh so sometimes you guys are just not pasting it to Facebook. We don't paste the pre show to Facebook ever. But sometimes it's there. It shouldn't be. Not the pre show but the little hey we're going to have the show. Yeah that's what I mean. The hey we're live video. I do see it sometimes there. Which I posted too early which I didn't think would be a problem but then I remembered the title was messed up. But too early is better than too late. Yeah I agree with that. But yeah I think Facebook is growing. Yeah someone just posted on Twitch that Facebook equals NSA spy. Yeah there's some huge issues there. But so why when I know that why can't I get off of it. And this is a problem for tons of people. I'm afraid I'm going to miss something. Yeah somebody's going to post something really cool. Or you're super scared that you'll lose touch with that friend that you don't talk to anyways. Exactly true. Or there was a posting today of this mom owl in her nest and three little baby owls and there were two little squirrels in there. You can get cuteness factor in other places. Like I've told you about Reddit. You just didn't like it. You didn't configure it though. Because you can make an account. And you can unsubscribe from all subreddits and then just leave like dogs and cats. And that would be like your life. That would be everything that you need. There's ducks. You can subscribe to ducks. I guarantee you. I'm going to check right now. There's not just a ducks. Red.com slash r slash ducks. It might be the mighty ducks. It's a sports team. It's baseball. Okay. Quack. I'm worried about this. Okay. I'm not going to look. Hold up don't look. Not going to look. No. Tiny ducks? Nope. There's got to be a subreddit about ducks. I would not be surprised. I don't know. Well, I'm sure there's one. We can set you up with it. But like there's other ways to get cute things. And you know dog shaming. You like dog shaming. That's on Reddit. I look at dog shaming every day. That's on Reddit. But on Facebook, if I see a posting for something cute, I'm realizing now not to click on that and go look at it. Yeah because it'll track that. Well and you get this thing up subscribe or whatnot. And then maybe I'm connecting to things that shouldn't be connected. But I feel like when I go and I click on those and I look through, not only do they try to get me to subscribe, but I feel like that that's causing other things to pop up at odd time. Yeah. See I thought so. Yeah. Because they're they're trying to tune ads on other websites for you as well. Yes. Because they'll sell the information of what you click on and what you're interested in. It's the bad guys getting your info. They could make Facebook a paid platform. So what do you want then? I know. That's the question isn't it? But Facebook would have to be much better if I was going to pay for it. That's the thing. It has to be it has to work better, easier, faster without the pains in the butts. But that's that's the reason why they're not going to do it. Yes exactly. I don't know. It's a really interesting equation where it's like am I the customer or am I what's being sold? Yes. Well kind of because you're a viewer and then you get advertisements towards you so you're kind of a product. It's a very interesting situation. But then a lot of people are going to lean towards being a product no matter how horrible that might sound even to them. It's true. Then buying something. Is it going to be a lot more sketchy about buying something? It's a really interesting conversation. And that's why some people are trying to come up with like this might be a really big drop. To go there or not to go there? No it's leaking things. Oh to leak things? I'm not going to leak things. But there's there's plans from various people to do things. There's plans. That have to do with stuff. With stuff. And not having certain things but having other things. Not things but some things. Other things. That was very clear. That was fantastic. Halo Online Beta possibly coming to PC what? I know dog. Oh hi Nick. Thank you for that reminder. Whoa. Also apparently you should take over the show. And we have two new shirt ideas for the X to the pi 72,000. Yay! I'm going to be a shirt. You're going to grab your cloud. I'm going to be a shirt. Wow both of those actually would kind of totally work. That's awesome. And also you broke touch pad with your that one. With this one? Don't don't please. No when you tell me don't. Did she do that one? Yeah. The doggers one? I did. Stop. Raise your doggers. Do sponsors. Raise your doggers? Do sponsors. Do sponsors. Sponsors are important and they need respect. Alright well. Respect your sponsors. I went for the wrong respect your sponsors. I went for that whoa the HDMI cable freaked out right there. Anyways. And your HDMI cable. Respect everyone. Is that dad? Oh it might be. Do you want me to see? Tell mom she's doing awesome. Aww thanks. That's cute. Good job dad. You just got a lot of brownie points. Good work. Yeah because he thought I was going to. Go on a Squarespace. Flame and die. Did he? Oh yeah. Oh he didn't like it. He thought it was a bad idea. Dad's just a realist bordering pessimist. Yes. He's a not realist, not pessimist, optimist. I guess that's how we operate then. We try to meet in the middle. But no. He's like you know nothing technical. And that's true. But I didn't flame and die. But you could know nothing technical and make a beautiful website with Squarespace. With Squarespace. Simple, beautiful, powerful. For people like myself who want it straightforward and easy to use.

Thanks to Squarespace for supporting the WAN show. They practically do everything for you. Really, how can you not go there and check them out? And they have a new slogan called Build It Beautiful. Build It Beautiful. Boom. Done. Next sponsor is Xsplit, the guys that we use to actually stream the show. Expert broadcaster powers tons of streams all around the world including this one. Most importantly. Yes, I would agree. Most importantly this one. They have a whole bunch of new powerful tools with Xsplit 2.0 and they're trying to meet the kind of standard of today's broadcasters including us. Although you could say that our standard is not very high because we screw things up a lot but... That can be endearing. And we were on time today and have had no major issues so I don't know. Maybe our problem is Linus. Maybe our problem is not Xsplit. Shut the door. Shut the door. No, don't say it. Shhh. Correct. Anyways, they also have GameCaster which is great for people that are looking to get started. You can easily start and record your game streams with one simple button. It's really easy to use and you can do a whole bunch of crap with GameCaster. It's actually fantastic. A bunch of crap. I would suggest trying it out. I would start streaming and recording HD today by going to xsplit.com slash Linus. Do it. Go. Offer code Linus for Squarespace. Xsplit.com slash Linus for Xsplit. Slightly different situation going on there. Boom. Sponsor sponsor. Ch-ch-ch. Now we were hoping that we were going to have Linda. I know. Because mom was going to do... Oh. Well people figured it out. Whatever. She's... yeah. She's the Linda lady. You have to be very serious. Yes. Yes. Yes. You're wearing glasses and everything. Linda.com is cool. Linda.com is cool. Linda.com is cool. Yeah. Very cool. Have you tried it out? Yeah. Well they have a free trial. They're not sponsoring us but they have a free trial. You should check it out. Anyways we'll jump back up to real other topic things. So what I was going to talk about before we were not rudely interrupted by Nick. I would say rudely but that would actually be wrong. Nick is never rude. Not really actually. Is the Halo Online PC Beta. Which is interesting. Love those Betas. I played a crap ton. This is post by Mad Sprite on the forum by the way. I played an absolute crap ton. Why did Ghost put the Wikipedia entry for free to play? I noticed that. I thought that made sense and I just didn't know. I'm going to go to end gadgets topic for this. So I was a huge Halo fan. I don't know if you remember that. Halo 2. Do I remember that? I played so much Halo 2. It was ridiculous. I think that's the only reason why I had a console at that point in time. But I think at some point in this article or another article, I don't want to blame too much on end gadget, it might have been someone else. They were like, traditionally Halo has been exclusively console. I'm like, no it hasn't. Not in our house. There's been PC Halo. Anyways, it's only in Russia right now. Which is crazy town. Well, that's selfish. Yeah. I completely agree. Ridiculous. But they're considering or something bringing it to other markets but it would take somewhat of a remake. I don't know why. Okay, so it'll take a little work so we're not going to bother? Is that what you're saying? It seems like a really weird thingamajiggy to say. It's apparently based on the Halo 3 engine and I know some people are frustrated with them because apparently the Master Chief collection is still having issues. That's a new Halo launch for Xbox One. But I don't really care because it's on consoles. I wasn't going to play it anyways. So hopefully you guys do a really good job of Halo Online and you bring it to North America. One thing that I want to straw poll with people though, let me create this straw poll right now was when was the last time that you played a more traditional style PC shooter that was free to play that you enjoyed and that you thought was actually a really good experience? Because no, no, no. Free to play FPS. Good? Good or bad? Bad. Or bad. Good or bad? Bad. Or X? Bananas. Bananas. Bananas is going to win. Alright, yes. Okay. We're going to allow multiple poll choices so people can pick bananas or another topic. Or you can just pick bananas if you want bananas specifically to win. Bananas are very good. Potassium? A lot of people are bringing up TF2 and you have a really good point. But I didn't mean like the, because TF2 and Halo are not... Comparable? Yeah, I don't really... They're both first person shooters but like TF2 is like an arcade style, like there's a bunch of different classes and stuff. No. Like it's very different to Halo but I think it's going to skew the poll a lot because a whole bunch of people are going to say good because of TF2. So that's, I don't know, that's interesting. Anyways, we'll see what they say about that. I'm excited and I hope it's good and I hope they bring it to North America because I actually really like the Halo franchise. I'd be interested to understand that we're going to do it in Russia. Yeah I wonder if, I don't know the statistics on this but I'm wondering if free to play games might do better in Russia. Especially with their dollar doing worse lately. Being able to play something for free might be better and then if you get encapsulated within it then you might be more willing to spend money on it instead of the gamble of buying a game at full price when it comes out. I have no idea. It's just a random assumption. I don't know anything about those statistics. I could be super off. Apparently it's coming from Saber Interactive, a software developer for Innova Systems, partners of 343 Industries and Microsoft who traditionally make Halo. And apparently it's going to be capable of running on low end PCs running that Halo 3 engine, not too surprised. I'm hoping that they have some good graphical ramping so that if you do have a really good PC you can kind of push it and get things looking nicer. But yeah, I don't know. It's an interesting proposition. I'm honestly pretty surprised that they're doing it. Speaking of looking nicer, did you see or were you around one of Linus' latest videos on that monitor that's like, woah! That's crazy! He's made a couple on that soon and I might do a benchmarking video of the Titan X on that monitor in like the weird format thing. But I'm not sure yet. At my last job they asked me what I needed to get my work done and when I told them four monitors... The four monitors! No, that's awesome! You can get so much more done! You need to be looking at a few things at one time instead of going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. It's right there in front of you. I used to be a one monitor guy and then when I could afford it I moved up and I can't go back anymore. It drives me crazy. You and your brother Richard have made sure that I stay at least at two monitors and it's the only way to go. For efficiency. Because you had one really good one and then one pretty crap one for a while and now you have... Two decent ones. One really good and one decent. And if I had more I'd use them. It's funny that you said four because my ideal setup which I'm working on right now... I'm finishing paying off my car and then I'm going to change some things up but I want to have one slightly larger than I currently have one which is hopefully 1ms G-Sync 144Hz all that kind of stuff. None of those things make any sense. And IPS. Really really nice larger format one. I don't want to buy one more monitor. I don't want to buy more than that. So then have that one in the middle, take my two current ones that I have which are more like artisty kind of slower monitors not super great for gaming and turn them both vertical and put them on each side so I can have like long webpages, Reddit which is often very long. Stuff like that. The forum on those side ones and then my games in the middle. And then I want to have like auxiliary monitors. So that's three. I want to have one kind of on an angle down right above that big main one which would be my 22 inch one that I had for a long time from kind of a while ago. I don't want to buy a new monitor for that. Just have one of those. And then my original dad bought it for me because I forgot to buy a monitor when I built my first computer. I don't know if you remember that. We were like at the store and the guy was like do you have a monitor? And I'm like no. And dad's like what are you going to do? And I was like I don't know. I just spent all my money on this new computer and then dad was awesome and stepped up and got me a monitor which was fantastic. I still have that. It still has like a messed up part of the screen because someone kicked it at a LAN party but it still works and I want to have that on a movable arm. Easily movable arm so that I can spin it to wherever I kind of am in the room and I want that to be monitoring my servers. Can you duplicate that system for me? I can work on it. It's a lot of monitors. Because and before people say you just get a big monitor and you put up different pages, it's not the same somehow. Well stuff like snapping doesn't really work as well. No it doesn't. And like Linus has a ultra wide monitor. And I get asked questions about this a lot because they're like what do you think about the ultra wide because Linus raves about them like crazy. I don't actually like them nearly as much as he does because sometimes they'll have like artificial bars for snapping so you can snap windows within the large monitor but it seems to kind of lag and it doesn't it feels weird and like I'll drag a window around and it'll like try to snap and I'm like no don't do that. Exactly you're doing something in a different page and somehow it affects this other page separate monitors. For now it works better. I'm sure the technology will get there. And like I think once we start moving to once scaling for Windows for 4k gets a lot better so everything's a lot smaller on the actual screen. I think that could help a lot too and could maybe make one monitor make more sense again. But then scaling is going to have to be a lot better. So you get smaller. That's why scaling needs to be better. So if you have a really small well okay really large resolution resulting in really small icons you can blow them up. You said really large? Really large resolution as in 4k. Really large. Really really large. Oh oh geez. Oh no. You have to shake your head. There you go. Good job. Oh my goodness. Okay I didn't know you had that one. So looking at the vote here 50% of people say X bananas. I saw that coming. Now is that a Roman numeral X or 10 bananas? It's a multi-fingered multiple banana. Numeral banana. Okay yeah. A lot of people are saying good again I think that's from the TF2 thing which I meant other style shooters. And then a lot of people are saying bad. It's a very interesting equation. It's close actually. Yeah it is it is close. It's an interesting conversation and I wonder how well they'll do it because if you do free to play where it's actually pay to win where like if you put more money in you'll be better than other people. Yep. Which is way too easy to do with a shooter because in a lot of other games you can do things like oh you get more experience or whatever where it's just like a quality of life improvement. And you might be able to do that with a shooter too just maybe not. I don't know. It depends on how you build the shooter. I don't know. It's very easy to screw up. Yeah. And I hope they don't. I don't know much else about it other than that. It's in Russia so it's not here so I wasn't able to try it but. Okay. New straw poll. New straw poll. Okay. What is a party line and I'm not talking about that 1-800 phone line. What is a party line? I'm talking about you know. They can't answer with the they can't answer. Yes sir. Do you know what a party line is? Yes or no. And that doesn't mean you put party and line together and you make something up. Nope. You either know what it is or you don't. And it's not the 100 1-800 number thing. I'm not talking about that. It's a thing. And the reason I'm interested in that is because yourself and your brother Richard. So I guess do or did because you're going to explain what it is right now. Yeah. When you're trying to explain things to me you try to be patient but you find it very difficult. And I can feel the frustration if you're standing behind me and I'm doing something I can feel it. It's like hitting me in the back of my head. You're frustrated. And I just want to say that. I don't think we're that bad. No. But no I see it with everybody. And when I talk to other parents it's the same thing. It's like you we can feel your frustration. It's new and different and we can't go about it and look at it and understand it as easily as you guys can. We just can't. And there are things like the party line that we're familiar with that you guys I don't think most of you have any knowledge of what it is. I had no idea. I thought I knew what it was because I thought I agreed with what Nick said. And I asked Nick and he thought it was the 1-800 line. No. No. Pardon my language. It's tech. It has to do with tech. Call 1-800 PARTYLINE. Chat with local singles now. 19 plus only. Yeah. Have a fun time. Woo. Not what I'm talking about. That's what I thought it was. Not what I'm talking about. No. So I just wanted to bring up have patience with your parents and your grandparents. We're trying. We're doing the best we can. We don't mean to make you crazy. We really, really don't. And I know especially if a younger person such as yourself is trying to help somebody out who's a slow typer. We can see puffs of smoke. Yeah, slow typing would be nuts. Or like if they don't know how to like do something the fast way. Yes, yes, yes. Just click on that button right down there and you're almost trying to physically do it for us. Yeah. Give us a break. We're trying. Okay. So I want to blow through one topic real quick. Okay. So PayPal was fined $7.7 million for allowing illegal payments. This was posted by Master Disaster which is probably the most perfect username for this article ever. Oh right. So sorry. People were asking what a party line is. So we can look at the results. We'll do that real quick before I get into this. Yeah. So if you don't know you can't vote. So probably there will be no votes. 77% of people said no. See? 23% of people said yes though. But what is it? So the yes people might actually be wrong. The no people might actually be right. In the olden days. Oh geez. You're not that old. Not that long ago actually. I can remember. You'd have to pick up your phone and see if it was already in use before you could use it. Think about that for a second. How bizarro would that be to you guys? Because you had a party line. You didn't own that phone line. You weren't the only house on that phone line. There were other people on that phone line and you might have to pick up your phone and see if there's somebody on it and say hey I'd like to use the phone and they say yeah yeah give me ten minutes and you have to hang up. You have to wait ten minutes. You have to wait to use your phone. Imagine waiting to use your phone. Try it. You want to use your phone? Sit back and wait ten minutes. And then you pick up the phone and they're still talking and you have to go hey hey I need to make a call and they're like yeah yeah yeah ten more minutes. Imagine. Think about them cookies. Think about how frustrated you get when your phone doesn't dial right away. So people in my generation thought it was bad because we had to call the other person's house to see if our romantic interest was available and you'd get like their dad picking up and stuff and it sucked. Imagine you picked up the someone picked up the line not even necessarily in your house but in your neighborhood while you were talking. And listened to your phone call. Absolutely. You thought the NSA was bad. Absolutely. Yeah anyways. So yeah that's that's uh yeah things that stuff and things. Anyways jumping back PayPal fines 7.7 million dollars for allowing illegal payments. I already showed uh I already linked this in chat but now I'm jumping to over here. So apparently they were facilitating indirectly or directly I don't know but they were facilitating cash transfers of not actually that much money. Like it wasn't a huge amount of money but it was from people uh where is it? On the bad guys list. Where's the dude's name? Kursad Zafar Syar? I don't know I might be saying something wrong there. I don't know the person who did it is not really that important but they what was happening was about 136 transactions from or to an account registered in that person's name. And that person apparently allegedly has connections to bad things like weapons of mass destruction. On the bad guy list. Yeah he was he was definitely on the bad line list or he she I don't know. So why didn't PayPal check the list? They probably should have but I think there's are also statements from them saying that PayPal said that they had voluntarily reported to the treasury foreign assets something control certain payments that were between 2009 and 2013 and they were complaining about steps taken there and issues with that and things are going all over the place. I don't think we personally know enough because I think a lot of it is kind of shut down behind courts. Because they're doing the we did say. We told them and other people are yeah anyways. The US Treasury Department is saying that they failed to adequately screen and prevent transactions. But think about it if they did tell the US Treasury Department and everybody just went hmm. Then whose fault is it? At the same time though the US Treasury is getting after them because they didn't adequately screen and prevent not because they didn't adequately tell them. Okay. So I think they PayPal should have stopped it from happening at all. Devil's advocate is that PayPal's job? I think it might be. I actually agree with you but people are going to say. No I know I'm not sure but I think legally as a bank because I think PayPal's technically a bank. Is it considered a bank? Well they're holding a lot of money for other people. So I think to a certain I don't know if they're like technically a bank but they're probably under very similar laws on the back end. Yeah. Because they're doing transactions and all that kind of stuff. But yeah I could see them turning around and saying that's not part of our mandate. Our mandate is to help people transfer money. Yes. But I do believe that legally they are required to pay more attention to that and that's pretty important stuff and like I don't know if PayPal's handling transfers or stuff like that couldn't they help the US Department of Treasury whatever find this dude? If he's known for being transacted with weapons of mass destruction. But then you get into privacy issues. You do. Big time privacy issues. But if he's already on a watch list but then how easy is it to get on the watch list and other potential issues. Yeah. If I illegally sell someone a firecracker how do you define that? Is that a bomb? Have I now dealt in transactions of bombs? Am I now never allowed to use PayPal again? It's interesting. Sticky wicked family. Someone's probably going to be able to correct us on all of that stuff. A big problem with that article is it's about American laws so I don't know. And it's pretty vague. The whole article's pretty vague. Yes. We're actually good to go now but we can try to rapid fire off a few things before we go. There's been leaks about the LG G4 Note. I'm going to show pictures of this real quick. How can they call it a note? Ridiculous. I don't know if that's an official name or not. It might just be G4. Hopefully it's G4. This was posted by Snow Comet in the forums. I'm going to jump to my screen real quick. This is kind of what it looks like. It looks really similar to the old ones. I'm really hoping that there's ridges beside these buttons on the back here because when there isn't it sucks. And other than that it looks really similar to all the things that it's looked like before. Speaking of that, which this has nothing to do with that, I was sitting beside a guy on the bus the other day and he had the coolest looking watch on. It just looked fantastic. It somewhat confirmed that it was a Gear S. I think so. We think it was a Gear S. We're not entirely sure. The last one that I want to jump to is the M9 released tonight. This was posted by Zamboni on the forums. I forgot to go to his source article. It was posted on IGN. And it has a Pendoo Hicker thing. It has a Pendoo Hicker thing. I have the Samsung with the Pendoo Hicker thing. I think the G4 had a Pendoo Hicker thing. This is the M9 for $650. Let's see real quick. I like the Pendoo Hicker thing. You have a Note 3, right? I whip out the Pendoo Hicker thing. And... So yeah, okay. So I whip out the Pendoo Hicker thing and I take notes and it's awesome. I think it was the G4 that had the pen because it chopped off the top. Way to be helpful. The phone that Richard got me. There we go. You can see up here, I'm going to point it out with my mouse pointer. You can see the notch for the pen thingy. Yeah, that might be it. It's a very thin, small one. And that could be something else, to be honest. The iPhone has a hardware button for toggling your full phone mute. Okay. And that looks like it could be a switch. But I believe it was in the notes that the guy that leaked the photos said it was a pen. So I'm pretty sure that is the pen one. That is it for today. Do you want to do an after-party thing? Can you go buy an air conditioner? I can open the window at the very least. Okay. We'll do an after-party thing. We wanted to talk about getting your parents into technology. We did. We didn't have time for that. We didn't have time for that. So we'll talk about that in the after-party. Okay. Will the bad guys be watching the after-party? Probably. Oh. Okay. Anyways, we're going to do the outro thingy. Hit. Oh. Oh. There we go. Roll the boat. Do they have music? Do they have stuff? I think so. Oh, I'm dead. Oh. I never really thought that part. I don't know. I've actually never understood. I didn't make it. Edsel made it. It's weird. It makes no sense. It might be a reference to something. It has to be. Probably. He does that stuff. Never considered asking him. No, I actually didn't. X-split. Bad. X-split. The stream video. She's making a cross with her arms. Yeah. That. Wrong one. Go to X-split. Squarespace. Squarespace. Easy. Do it. What's their thing? Squarespace. Build it beautiful. Build it beautiful. Yeah. Woo. Woo. Okay.
