 Welcome to the WEN show guys, the show where our professionalism is your biggest concern, because it certainly isn't ours. Sorry about that again on the show, I know this is something that you guys prefer that I don't do, but quite frankly, but like a cup of oatmeal since early this morning, so... I had that one to get. Disgusting by the way. I know. Forgiving it to me though. The best part is, they're not super bad. I appreciate that. So guys, we've got a lot of great topics today. First of all, our special guest is Kyle from Austin, or New Egg, I guess is the other place he is from. We've also got some pretty interesting crowdfunding news. Star Citizen just keeps on trucking, so they hit $31 million of funding on the 25th of October, and then $30 million. Over there, we've also got some exciting new developments with respect to Qualcomm's upcoming Snapdragon 805 CPU. The improvements to the CPU itself, much of the improvement looks like it's been on the graphics side of things. So, we've got some really cool stuff going on with Qualcomm, and then we've got some really cool stuff going on with the CPU. The improvements to the CPU itself, much of the improvement looks like it's been on the graphics side of things. So, Kyle from Austin, New Egg will join us, so I'm going a little out of order here, but what are your topics to introduce? We have 24-inch 4K panels on the way from Dell, which are an IPS variant. Well, we don't personally. If anyone from Dell's watching... Then we should, we should, we should... I really want one of those, Mom. Because we're super professional, so you should have... Exactly, yeah. You can monitor while reviewing it, if that's something, if that's what you guys want. I can demonstrate... Resist... Exactly. Just like I did with the Xperia Z1, where I went... That... On camera. We won't go in the back with you, monitor. We won't go in the back with you, monitor. No. There's also news that the US military is the biggest pirate of all of them, which... Unfortunately, and then... It's like, really, this is headline news? Like, large organizations, all... Software. My favorite thing is the scale at which they pirate... Well, hold on, we'll go into more depth. Like...... Alright, so we're not powered by Razer Con... I'm just gonna cut that off right... But... I guess that's like, pretty much it. Thanks for watching, guys. No, let's get right into it. Let's get right into the... Original articles is from Anon Tech, so we're gonna go ahead and... Really, the mouse is too far, I can't reach it. The original article is from Anon Tech, so they've got a little cool picture of an adorable dragon, as well as a Qualcomm Snapdragon-looking chip. I want a pet dragon. And the main details here is that this is......much a revolutionary change, it's more of an evolutionary......be getting higher clock speeds, up to 2.5 GHz. Like... Doesn't seem right. It doesn't seem... It's like, yeah, we're gonna have 2.5 GHz quad-cores in your phone. Be clear, guys, these are not the same kinds of quad-cores that you're gonna find in a PlayStation 4, or in a PC, or anything along those lines. But it is definitely a multi-threading monster. They're kinda adding... More......small improvements here and there. But, the main improvement is gonna be on the GPU. So we're going from Adreno 300 series to Adreno 400 series. It's gonna be called the 420, because... Research went into that name. I'm really in the mood for this snack right now. It's kinda disgusting. Anyways, some of the other things... That was a joke. Oh, wow, that didn't clue in at all. I know. I get it. And, wow, our start time is 10 minutes after that, too. I know, right? That's kinda brutal. It's almost like all the stars are burning. Anyways, you get 2.5 GHz, like you already said. And freaking OpenCL full profile. It's amazing, because as much as we are talking about... Okay, we're gonna have like, CL acceleration, and you're gonna be able to batch process......because everyone does that. You can use OpenCL to... On something like a phone? All of a sudden, OpenCL makes a ton of sense, because......the filters to... It would much more likely be better......to do the same things. Exactly. Way more likely. And you're gonna have specific tasks that you perform that are going to be......able to take advantage not only of the improved performance that OpenCL, that GPU compute can provide......but also the fact that it's gonna be lower power consumption. And for something that plugs into a wall, I kinda sit there and I go, yeah, cool, thank you. You know, it's great to have better power consumption. But at the end of the day, that extra couple of watts doesn't make the same sense to me that it does. When my phone......links about Nexus 5? You and Brandon have not been having problems with battery life. Like......what I think......I'm changing gears here, so I guess that was pretty... Oh, okay, now let's cover the last thing that's really exciting......in Nexus 5, and that is the fact that......not only hardware accelerated H.264 and code......but also H.265 decode. Again, lower power consumption and the ability to enjoy some true......next generation......H.265 is a......efficient compression algorithm. However, it does require more processing power to decode it. So if you have hardware that is designed just for that, we're gonna be looking at things like......2.5K or 4K streams that can be decoded on your phone......without a significant power consumption increase. So like, thumbs up......to other guys, we're like, hey, yeah, we'd also like......to this mobile... No! Brad! It kinda did though, that's exactly what they did....that fast. Look at any smartphone, it's like what processor's inside? No, no, what......Qualcomm processor?...1 versus...... Yes! It's true though. Totally true. There's even like an article, we're gonna talk about this......an article on the......5. And it was literally in the thing like......which Qualcomm processor? Yeah, why don't we get into that actually. And then maybe we'll bring......right after that....rumour guys, so the appropriate disclaimers......we are not saying that this is absolute news, but it was posted by YouBetterNot on the forum. And......there's going to be apparent, like......as if Samsung doesn't already have......a fragmented enough approach to their......I mean even their......I think their Galaxy lineup of......probably contains more phones......than anyone else's......whole lineup. The best thing about this one too is there's......and then there's like......colours I think of each. So I couldn't get a......on the colours, but I know there's like......and a white one, and I think a black......so the......there's so many. So the rumours are that the average......sort of the consumer......I mean remember when the S4 was a flagship device......or the S series was flagship? Now they're like......well there's a mini one that's like......it's like that but smaller and also much......and then there's going to be a normal plastic one......with an OLED display......and then there's going to be a premium version......sporting a metal case......and a flexible OLED display. All of these rumours combined together are interesting......but......the bombshell rumour....the usability of 2560p......which is like whaaaaat?...and a 5.3 inch display. As someone who is getting pretty used to......I can't......tell the difference......to the S1. I can......but barely. If we're talking about......significantly......dramatically increasing......that......we're going to be talking about......making battery life......no apparent reason......to have......a......contest. A measuring contest. A third arm measuring contest. I know, I almost made it!...on the show and like......someone was upset when I put that Bluetooth speaker in my pants......and talked to you. And I was like, hey!...read the thing. Almost. So there's......the rumour is there's......a bit Exynos......or Snapdragon processor......3 or 4 gigs of RAM......4,000 mAh battery......that's going to be either awesome......or it's just going to be necessary......to display. And there's even some vague rumour.........posting news on the Linus Tech Tips forum. Honestly, it's where I get 90% of my news from these days. From the tech world. So you guys should check it out if you haven't seen it already. That combined with the new hot deals section......is actually... Hot deals have been......so far. It's actually kind of cool. I'm a little bit afraid that......people were going to......span it, or there was going to be a lot......selling tickets to my......play....that you......to please... Thank you. There's been a bit of it. Yeah, there's been a little bit of that. I would like to talk about battery life......on the Nexus 5. I'm going to film my Nexus 5 review now. I'm feeling really comfortable with the device now. I've spent quite a lot of time with it. I think that the.........people are having with that......are being mitigated somewhat by the......so, number one is I......I'm not a super......hardcore power user....I do......a lot of incoming and outgoing messages. So, because......and because I've actually just started using Google Glass......although speaking of......so it's sitting over there on the charger......I am able to do a lot of my reading here. Even though I'm hitting it a little bit harder on the Bluetooth side of things......what I've noticed about the Nexus 5......is that Bluetooth doesn't seem to......seem to......as much as......that I've used. So this could be a KitKat optimization. I'm going to look a little bit further before I do my review. But Bluetooth doesn't......seem to......number two is I'm not......on constantly because I'm looking and reading a lot of my messages......on the smartwatch instead of on the device itself. Number three is......tethering is something that really kills battery life a lot for me. And it doesn't......hit as hard when I'm tethering either. Like the one just burns......the battery when I'm tethering. But then that one has problems tethering, doesn't it? No, it doesn't have problems. It runs through the battery and runs really hot. You're thinking of the......old one. iPhone 4. That was the one that never worked. The one saved us that day at the studio. The X. Oh, okay. So there's all those things going for it so far. And then there's also the fact that......the X is a pretty smart power......so I don't spend......maybe a lot...I don't spend much of my time. Um......how do I explain this? Okay....whenever you're not in range of......turn the WiFi off......GPS will pick up, it'll go, okay......turning my WiFi back on. This is a smart power saving feature that......some previous Android phones had. Like the Xperia Z1 had it....the battery life there. But I feel like that's been saving me a lot as well. So I'm getting through the day......very consistently with the Nexus 5. And I think the last thing is that it depends what you're coming from....from the Xperia Z1......which I did use for a while......but it wasn't......really, I used it for about......three weeks. Um......from the HTC One, that's okay. Because the One doesn't have fantastic battery life by any stretch. So, Nexus 5......the complete battery life......seemed to be......it's a little bit early, but......I think we were trying to......I think he said he'd be back by now, so we'll see if he's back. We have a very secret......to do......after work today. And then......once we're done, we're going to be......telling you guys about it. Sounds like he's under attack by aliens. From 1980? Kyle! Kyle! Sorry! Hey! I'm good. We are just fantastic. That is a great picture of you......for your lower third. Unless that was Edzel that picked that out for you. That might have been Edzel. I gotta commend him. Are you on speaker, sir? Yes, I am. Let me check. Thank you! Sorry, we brought you......because we......heard of your voice from the pre-show. How about now? You sound amazing. Some would say awesome. Some would say that... Come on! I was making my way there......laboriously. So why don't you give a brief introduction......of who the devil you are and what the devil you do......and why the devil anyone should care......before we go any further into the show. For those of our audience who haven't heard of you. Sure. You probably shouldn't care. Aww! He's playing the sympathy card! Aww! It does really well. But... I am essentially a YouTube host......for New Egg. Which is a channel for NewEgg.com. Company. I also have my own... Yeah, I know. I know. NCIX also. Much respect for them as well. I'm also a YouTuber......personally. I have my own channel, Awesome Sauce News. I can hear myself right now. Hold on. Going up. Hmm. Alright, I'm just gonna roll with it. Alright. Yeah, that's what I do. Tech unboxings, I do reviews......smaller scale. Smaller army. Why don't we go ahead......and move into our first guest topic here. So... Um... Okay. So......you work at NAVY. Any of the sales numbers at all? Or are you guessing as much as the rest of us are? The latter. They refuse to let me see anything important. That is awesome. Have you heard any scuttlebutt about 290Sales......versus 290XSales? No, actually not at all. I haven't really looked into it. I haven't really heard too much. Scuttlebutt's a word. That is a word! It means rumors. I know, but you just......scuttlebutt....by now. Yeah. It was already a word. I know, I know it's a word. It's just hilarious. We're gonna go to my screen where......XLX Cross post......on R9 290......can no longer be flashed. Now there was a thing going on for a little while here......where folks were able to buy......radion R9 290s......and with a simple BIOS flash......turn them into R9 290Xs. It turns out that this was only......from specific batches......and only worked with XFN......color cards. So that was all that was going on. So now 290s can no longer be flashed. What does this tell you guys......the difference between an R9 290 and R9 290? What does this tell you guys the difference between an R9 290 and a R9 290? Um......Mis- Oh, me? Oh, I didn't know. I thought you said guys. I thought you were asking the audience. Oh, right. I think for some reason AMD doesn't want the 290 to be unlocked for monetary reasons, I'm assuming. But I feel like that kind of makes sense for the purpose of PC building. That's one of the reasons I love it so much is because we're not forced to deal with an all-in-one built console. We like to tweak and tune our hardware, and I feel like that can help with that ability. So, have you bought one of the next two? No, no I have not. Are you planning to? No, no I'm not. Okay, give me your PC Master Race opinion here then. I'd have to buy a console if someone... I'd go with the Wii U. I'd go with the 3DS and play Pokemon X and Wild. Boom! That was a man. Alright. And by Wiis. Wiis are so underrated. You know what? My f***ing lighter was playing Pokemon. Boom. There you go. You can still buy Pokemon. That was my very f***ing all-nighter. But you can use Epic. There's some really good games. I agree. Honestly, if I had to pick between the two consoles, I would probably go with the PS4. Just because I was a PS4 fan back in the day and I always had a good experience with them. My Xbox 360 is the red ring and obviously that's not an issue anymore. But I don't know, I feel like the community on the PlayStation is more mature. A little bit on the same page as me. As opposed to the Xbox 360 kids that really hate me for being a noob....names....to each other on the PlayStation. So are you calling PS4......a noob? No, I'm calling it a more down- Okay, so a little bit less rabid in terms of the fanboyism. Exactly. Alright, let's move on to our next topic here. You actually messed up with us. A very un-...by the name of James Howells has lost......Great Britain pounds worth of Bitcoins that were stored on an old hard drive. Yes. Did you invest any money into Bitcoin? No, but I'm really starting to think I should be. Is it? Yeah. Sorry about that. I had my stream running. Sorry about that. So, okay. At this point do you feel like it's a little bit too late? You know, I think it's never too late. I think it's later than I would have liked to have been interested in the whole thing. You never know how much money you're going to go from here, you know. So, I'm probably going to go from the Bitcoin mining build. Right. You know, maybe from my channel or something like that. The problem with Bitcoin mining is that it's gotten to the point where the hardware has stopped getting so much more powerful. And Bitcoins have become so much more difficult to find that unless you're buying- I mean, I don't know if you know this, but they actually have dedicated boxes. Maybe you know a little bit more about- The sequence. Yeah. They have dedicated boxes that are just for mining. That's all they do. It's an appliance. You plug it into a wall and it- Specifically for it though, and they'll power whatever else you can do pretty much. I feel like your electricity bill would outweigh the money that you'd be getting from Bitcoin. Isn't it pretty taxing on your system and just consumes a crap ton of power from what I've heard? Well, that is the problem that a lot of people had even at the beginning of Bitcoin was that it wasn't really worth that much. I think that most of the calculations that I saw people do- Okay, here's how much Bitcoins were. Here's how much my electricity costs. And they weren't necessarily thinking in what if Bitcoin is worth a hundred times what it is today, from now. And so that was the thing that kept a lot of people from getting into Bitcoin mining. That's honestly the reason that I- I was in the mining box and then I was like, okay- One, there's a few things you can join a pool because- For mining it can take like a year. If your whole group is calculating towards Bitcoins, then you can get a cut. And then for two, you can go to- I think it's like bitcoincalculator.com or just Google Bitcoin calculator. And you can figure out like your cost. It helps you figure out whether or not it will be worth it for you because power around the world is different. So there's two different things. Guys, we'd love to do a Twitter blitz. So if you have any questions or anything you want to ask Kyle, maybe like what's it like at all? You know, like that guys, hit us up. Find us tech on Twitter and let us know if you have any questions for the one and only Kyle. My Google Docs just randomly signed out for no apparent reason. So I have apparently lost my ability to find our next topic here. 680 Ti, 6K. Yeah, did you hear about this? You know what? I've heard about it from that list. What? Actually pretty cool. My favorite part is no TDP. Yeah. And it has overclocking. It does. Oh yeah. It won't go over certain vectors even if you set it higher. There's like a few things. Do you guys know if this is a new thing that NVIDIA has put out or if this is just like a bare bones 780 Ti that EVGA has kind of... Well, what I think has happened here is two things. Number one is this EVGA press really hard on NVIDIA to give them the flexibility to deliver the cards that they want to build to their cut. I know a couple guys at EVGA and I know how they feel NVIDIA's program that they put in place to restrict the board partners ability to dead cards back to NVIDIA if they did anything that goes outside of the guide to power consumption, voltage, and clock speeds, particularly voltage increase that would cause them to die. So NVIDIA put this green light thing in place that basically went, look, do whatever you want, but don't come crying to us when it dies. And this is just kind of kneecapping in terms of what the board... AMD doesn't put the same restrictions in place or at least not ones that are nearly as restrictive. I mean, they're still like, hey, you know, don't do anything. But you have a little bit more flexibility. So for 780 Ti 6 gig, it looks like it has pushed NVIDIA at the green light on a card that is just going to be completely balls to the wall unlocked. The first thing I did when I saw this is, EVGA, I am so sorry that I haven't finished the front air unboxing yet. I will do it right away. I need one of these cards. I don't think you knew that. This is all this has been. They're holding the card hostage until you get that video. What graphics card do you run at home these days? You know what? Honestly, I haven't been doing a huge amount of gaming lately just because I've been so busy, but I still have a 770 in my rig. It's an ASUS DirectCU2. Honestly, I do have like a 770 lying around that I just I don't know why I haven't installed yet, but I probably should. Air? Yeah, it's air. You have no excuse, sir. Yeah. Air-cooled graphics card upgrades not happening. No time at all. It's really just because I haven't done much gaming at all. Cry yourself to sleep every night. We're going to go to our Twitter bits here. All right, guys. So first up, rig. Okay. You know what? Here, why don't you answer Ricardo here? What is your main rig? So aside from the graphics card. Okay. Right now, I'm still a couple generations behind. I've got a 2600K. So 400 megahertz, which is it gets. So yes. Yeah, exactly. So I'm everything I needed to right now. I'm just doing a lot of editing and it's handling it beautifully. Undertimes could be a bit faster, but I am planning on upgrading to an X79 platform pretty soon. Retail Edge program. So I think they're having a ridiculous deal on the fourth where you can get a 4930K for what is it like 190 bucks. You know what else I heard about the Retail Edge program? I heard that I heard that technically you're not eligible for it. Oh, really? Yeah. I already did my time. I already got 10,000 points. So I got the voucher for the deal. I'm going to call Intel and I'm going to tell them that you don't work at a retail store. How dare you? Like six years after I worked at one. Yeah, Retail Edge. Well, did you ever try to claim any of the deals? Oh, yeah. That's unusual because I had to. There's ways to do it. I did submit it. The first time I did read it, I went to a live event. So I was able to pay stub and like show it to them. Well, OK, it was sort of legit because I also brought my wife and Photoshopped one of my old pay stubs with her name on it so that I could use Photoshop. I actually used MS Paint to be clear. Oh, what? I used it to the event with me and got validated at the same time. Oh, God. Then the second time I wanted something from this was back when I wanted I before I built my current rig, I always did like a raid card and multi SSD setup because I looked at SSD and I went, OK, this is perfect, except it's not enough space. So I was like, OK, I'm willing to just drop all the money. So I found four coworkers. When each of them was like three hundred dollars or something stupid like that or like 200 even on retail edge. And I got. The illegitimate thing there was I got a first to sign me over their accounts so I could do all the quizzes. Nice. And then I don't remember. I think eventually I just got tired of it because retail had used to be really easy. You could challenge all of them. So if you knew the answers already, which I usually did because I had read the article four months earlier, because it's not like they're showing off the latest stuff on there. Then I could just answer all the questions and I was good to go. But now, now. That's that's true for some of them. But I noticed that maybe three out of five, I could just go straight to the quiz. Maybe they've maybe they've refined it a little bit. I think like the one or two quizzes that actually have to wait to watch that ridiculous tutorial. It was like a minute long TV like soap opera type thing. It was just the cheesiest thing I've ever seen. And they made me watch it and I held the test afterwards. So I had to watch it again. Oh, it was bad. I got to go to so many free movies because those guys. So many. Oh, yeah. Because they'd come by and be like, yeah, screening. Awesome. All right. I'll go to that. Sounds good. Extra money. I want to see this movie. Sweet. How good your paint skills are. I just can't get it. It's actually pretty. I couldn't do it. My wife did it. But even more. And I, I. Yeah, whatever. I had automatic scripting things that would. You like 10 seconds. I mean, Intel should have more security behind that site, knowing that everybody that's applying for. I know it's easy to hack into that. You wouldn't think that, you know. I just I'm not going to wear near like. If you check eBay immediately after retail, it's things like swamped. Yeah. It's going to be a real good time to buy a six core Ivy Bridge real soon. Extreme editions and stuff. So like people get these theoretically thousand dollar process. Editions all the time. So people would get like nine eighty X's and stuff like that. And then they'd be like, oh, yeah, it's a thousand dollar processor. And then everyone would like list them on red flag deals. And I'm like, you know, overclocked dot net. And they'd be like, oh, eight hundred and seventy five dollars. We'd be like, yeah, no, no, that. And there's like a hundred of you selling that exact chip right now. We know what you're up to. Pretty epic. All right. So how are you guys Thanksgiving? We have Thanksgiving. Oh, you're right. Oh, my gosh. I'm right. I'm such an out of touch American. I know we're basically we're just your hat. I wish we could. I saw this meme and I wish it was you could just have like second Thanksgiving like The Hobbit. That would be awesome. We should just. They started happening in Canada about five years ago. It only took five years and now it's a thing. Yeah. So if we just started this. Second Thanksgiving, second Thanksgiving. All that America pilgrims Turkey hasn't blown us up yet. For a second time. Yeah, I'm really happy about that. We're glad America's hat and not. Yeah, you know, you're not going to last long around here on this show. In Toronto last weekend to cover an expo there. Everyone was very friendly and I ate a lot of poutine and ketchup chips. We're from Vancouver, so we're not particularly fond of Toronto. Leafs. Oh, wow. The wars within Canada. Yeah, if there was a Canadian war, it would be between like the Vancouver Canucks and like the Toronto Maple Leafs. Yeah, and there would just be this like huge. Yeah, there'd be like. There'd be there'd be like an enormous ice rink and then there would be no way with the hockey sticks and the entirely and everyone would just throw off the gloves and charge at each other. Yeah, that'd be like the Civil War. Then afterwards, I go for drinks and then. There'd be lots of fighting skills. Yeah. The beer would both enhance the violence and enhance the camaraderie after the violence. That's right. Canada. That's a great place. All right. So, oh, you know what? I guess we didn't actually do much Twitter blitzing here. So, of course, I request, will there ever be a GTX 790? We don't know. OK, what do you think? Ah, hey, Kyle, I don't know if you've been paying attention to New Eggs Black Friday deals, but it's going to be pretty embarrassing if you hadn't. What do you think was the best New Egg Black Friday deal so far? Oh, oh, yeah, time to be embarrassing. There's some pretty good stuff going on. The deals and I saw like a bunch of little things like I wasn't really looking for. Straight up PC hardware because I recently built a system and I don't need that for the next few days. But I did see a kill. That deal. Yeah. And I totally bought one because they're usually three dollars. And there were some other things like a few tool kits that were just dirt cheap. Not sure. It remains to be seen the quality of them. How easily it will break. Yeah, I bought the I fix it one and I was pretty disappointed with how it's just. A rebranded Chinese right. I was afraid of, but I did see we did have a pretty nice TV. Well, actually, I've heard mixed things about it. It's like a Chang Hong TV. I don't know if you guys ever heard of that brand. It's like a Chinese. No, we were surprised. Yeah, I thought you were. I thought you were joking. I thought he was making fun of Seiki. Yeah, I thought I thought I thought you were making fun of every Asian brand because you can kind of get away with that. Right. Only only have only half Asian. OK. Like 50 percent. Well, OK, I'm a quarter Chinese and a quarter Thai. And then and then half like just white, just obscure whiteness. I love how that's a thing. Probably. What's funny, though, is in Europe, it's totally different and it is a thing. Yeah. Whatever culture it all came from. So we just we make our own culture and we have monster trucks in, you know, Putin. Most trucks, Putin and maybe exactly it's like, yeah, that's a culture, something. Something like that. And what's that mean? I don't know. Half Union and half Confederate. I don't know. So you you have frequent conflicts then? Yes, all the time. But only. All right. I haven't heard much about DDR4 for a while. So this is a topic, Kyle, I'm not sure if you'll have much to say about this, but I certainly do. OCC for bankruptcy. Have you heard about this? I know I heard about that. It's very sad. It's very sad to vertex force in my system right now. And I'm I'm sad that I'm never going to see a vertex five. Are you going to create like a shrine to them? I should. Or maybe I'll sell them on eBay when they're an extinct. I doubt that. That'll be a thing. Yeah. Yeah. Unless it's like Apple. Apparently. Yeah. You're probably right. We even saw old Apple iPhone first gems going on eBay for like thousands of dollars. Yeah. Well, I don't know if they were selling, but they were listed. A little bit here. And guys, I worked with those. Long time. This time I'm not guys, you and the other one. I know. I know. So I worked with OCC for a long time. I used to be the product manager. That's going back almost about. A lot of warnings. There were a lot of warning signs, stuff going on, like I buy inventory at this price. And then by the time, you know, I would work through all that. They want you to take so much so that they're a quarter end and year end goals and all that that you take it in. And by the time you're selling it, they're giving you instant rebates and stuff like that that are so high. And you know that they lost. Find manufacturing and customer service and shipping. I mean, they would cover the shipping and and management and all of these commissions for people. I mean, it all adds up. The only way to keep it going, keep selling more and more, more and more, more. And that was something that with the profit margins that they were promising to their shareholder, too, because as long as it was fine to take investor money and sell at a loss to hit high targets, it was going to work. But when investors kind of went, hey, you know, you're burning through cash really fast. What exactly over there? Well, they were buying market share and that that wasn't going to fly in the long term. So when it came time to try to make money on the drives, I think what they discovered was that their brand name and their brand strength really wasn't as strong as they had hoped that it would be. By that time, SSD being an enthusiast type being a commodity type product. In fact, I'd say in the time between Vertex to and onward, SS. I think they were on a vector and trying to to dress it up and gussy it up and put maybe they should put gold heat spreaders on it. They were the pioneer in gold heat spreaders on things. Me too. You just weren't able to do it anymore and ultimately cause a downfall. So Toshiba is looking at buying the asset. Interesting. I had a lot of people comment on something must have been Twitter. Really, Toshiba? Toshiba manufacturer. I had someone make the same comment about Sandisk. About their oh, well, they're really small SSD players. Oh, they're not. They're manufacturers, which means they're huge. Don't worry. They're OK. Is a step above a drive manufacturer actually manufacture NAND flash. So they're going to be all they didn't make SSDs yet. I don't think they do. But if they have CZ, then that would be very interesting because in the links is controller technology is not bad. It's good. And Toshiba. So this could be a match made in heaven. I like it. Looks like you make. Apparently they do have them. Oh, wow. Out of stock, though. So I don't think they've been doing anything for a while. Kind of a seeming. Yeah, like is this a two or three or what? No, this is a three. So, yeah, they've got one. The HDTS. They could use some branding on this HDT. Five exit STA. Yeah. Oh, God. Yeah. Yeah. So they need some help. Product. Yeah. You know, Lee and Lee's that this company that I just I love their products and the quality. But even I can't figure out their product line. I agree. They do so much better if they just had some better branding, marketing and whatnot. Yeah, some some cool even some coherency to like the products like you go on their site and it's just like, which case would you like? Well, I don't know. The like the train one, the gaming one, like the train one. Train one. I even requested a train train. Well, more like you couldn't get a reasonable price. Yeah, because they were man. They were expensive. Yeah, they were. You know what? I actually had a while back swag item. It was a Lee and Lee dinosaur. So it was like a sheet of aluminum and then it had all the pieces and then you assemble those dinosaurs that you like put the rib to the spine and like like you make Lee and Lee aluminum dinosaur. Cool. Yeah, that's fun. I don't know what happened to it, but that was one of my favorite swag things that I ever got. Did they call it like a 95608? We like, dude, first recs. No, but I'm sure they were did. All right. What do we got next? Okay, there's a 4K ultrabook apparently that costs less than fourteen hundred dollars. I think more than anything that's revealing of how inexpensive plays actually are and how need to just screw off and plays now. I wonder how well that ultrabook is pushing that display though. Kyle, how awesome is your sauce? Incredibly. Excellent. Incredulously awesome. Jeremy asks how to work at Linus Tech or NCI. Well, I like hiring, but at NCI. To NCI careers. I think it is something like that. If not, it's on the if you scroll down to the bottom of the website. Just spam their YouTube channel and pine for a job. They love that. It's a really good idea. Yeah, that works really well. How temp have all that crazy hard? I get to purge some of that anxiety that I feel because I because I have my own YouTube channel. Sometimes if we're back to look at a product, I can take it home and research it by myself and shoot a video of it and whatnot. And it's also pretty cool because it lets me look at products. Whereas new ag, we have to be fair at all the vendors and we can't really do reviews because if we give a bad review, then no one will buy the product. Right. It's a company. So that's that's the cool thing about having my own channel is that I get to do what you guys do is be really honest with the products and let them know how you feel about it so that people can have a more valid purchasing decision. Mango juice stain asks what is it like working with Paul? Working with Paul is pretty awesome. He's just he's exactly how you videos. I mean, he's not dressed up at all. He has no hyper extended. What are you? What's that? I said, what are you implying exactly? That he's and relax that some people do have fake personalities on camera. Yeah, sometimes, sometimes you see somebody and they're totally different. My old roommate was like that. But Paul is kind of like a no frills type guy. He just says how it is and not trying to be in the spotlight or trying to be the face of it. Just wants to share information with people. Can we go back? He's like, he's a really good teacher. Can we go back to that old roommate for a second? So you said your roommate kind of put on airs when over video. So did you actually meet this roommate over like a chat or this is this is a room in college, actually? But you know, the stories about, you know, what happens between roommates in college. You're not speaking of. I guess and like what a YouTube partner could be because he was and he made all these wacky like tech videos, but he did more like consumer electronic stuff and movies and TV shows. Reviews of that nature. But he would be just completely wacky all the time. And then you talk to him and he's like a really chill, mellow guy and you put a camera on him and he just puts on this whole act. Right. Paul's like the inverse of that. Probably like somewhere in between being completely and exactly the same. Be myself on camera. No one would watch me. So Paul's chill enough on camera and he's the other guy. So basically he got hit with a horse tranquilizer. I mean, he gets, you know, a new product comes in, go up like a normal human being. But he's just a really down to earth. Nice. He's lovable. He's like a big teddy bear. He's like the office teddy bear. All right. Let's move into our last topic. Now, I know you haven't had much time for gaming lately, but have you been following much of the news about Steam OS and Steam boxes? Here and there, but I'm not completely versed in it yet. All right. So check this out. Top Wargamer posted on the forum. Here is iBuyPower's Steam Machine Prototype. The funny thing about this is they sent an email to me earlier this week. Hush, hush, top secret, blah, blah, blah. We'll be showing off a Steam Machine prototype at CES. And I'm like, OK. So I didn't say anything about it. And then like the next day, it's everywhere. And there's like pictures of it. Is it a secret? Is it not a secret? I don't get anyway. You know, it kind of looks like different colors. Yeah. Well, it looks like a PlayStation 4 and an Xbox one had a baby. It does not look like a PS4. Oh, what the colors. So easy to change. Dex and that. I think it is a PS4. They just put better components in it. They bought a whole bunch of PS4. Yeah, no, don't worry about it. Yeah, whatever. Sucks. You can take on the hard drive. Remember? No, we got this. We're going to put a better thing about it. It's all good. I hear you can actually flash your PS4 to turn into a Steam box. That would be so epic. That would be awesome. All right. So we have some known specs. It's going to have a multi-core AMD CPU. It looks like AMD is just firing on all freaking cylinders when it comes to design wins lately. That timing. Yeah. It'll have an R9 CPU, 500 gig hard drive, built in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, an integrated power supply. It's bigger than a PS4, but still smaller than an Xbox one and comes with Valve's Steam controller. And all of this is looking to come in around 5. It's cool that iBuyPowder knows that the X versions are not worth anything. Yeah, I know, right? X versions. Why do you exist? Why do you exist? You're not as good. All right. So a couple more Twitter blitz questions and then I guess we'll have to let you go. We've had you actually. Thank you. Oh, you're so nice to us. Then he's self-deprecating. Oh, yeah, absolutely. You're not. Okay. Work there anymore. That's been so confusing. Why are you so? They are a competing YouTube channel, too. And we still do work with the NCIX YouTube. But you don't work for them. And he called me out on over our graphics card benchmarks. He did it as well. Oh, no, he didn't. No, he did not. It was a friendly poke. A friendly poke. That is what I like. This was not a friendly poke. Sorry. I can't. Yes, we are. Yes, we're still alive. So why don't we move on? Kyle, do you have any thoughts on Mars 760, their dual GTX 760 card? Oh, God, that's pretty awesome. I haven't even heard much about it. It's going to be cool and probably a little overpriced, but that doesn't mean it's any less badass. You know what? Asus should hire you to do their ROG marketing. Because that's going to be expensive. It's going to be awesome. It's going to be badass. Yeah, there you go. There you go. They owe me money. I don't know. What are your thoughts on it? I would rather get a couple of cards or one freaking card. That's what I would rather do. Do you know if they're going to allow SLI? SLI will be. I would still rather buy one 780 Ti or two 780 Ti's though. All right, so we've got... I'm sorry. Last question. I'm just curious myself. Is it going to be on air or integrated water cooler? It is air. It's not like the last generation Air Ease card that had that built-in liquid cooler. All right, so we've got a question on Twitter here. Which of New Egg's ELF commercials do you like the best? Are those live yet? Are those already up? I don't know, man. You tell me. Because I think this guy is kind of trolling us pretty hard here. He's like sort of a jackass. I know him. Oh, is it Paul? Yeah, it's Paul. I've been seeing all the ELF commercials. I've only seen two of them. One of which all of our voices are altered. So me, Jenny, and Paul, we're all in the......supposed to be broadcasted on TV like today. Really? We're so ambitious about it. I think our CMO was like, hey, I want three national commercials. And we're like, oh, yeah, that sounds great. He's like, what? But we did it. It happened. And we kind of like auto-tuned our voices to sound like ELFs. It's pretty awful. But I think that was only one of the versions. I'd actually turn around and if they listen to our requests...... Wow, I'm actually excited to see this. Because honestly, and as much as... Okay, I hope no one tells Logan this. Favorite video of his scene is his time......from there... Yeah, great. I'm going to see if I can dig this up. It is so......in here. It's just so far......like the real Logan that we know and love. I don't know if you guys are going to have audio for this or not, but I'm going to go ahead and screen share with you here. So here we go, here we go. Oh, oh, hold on. Hold on. Let's try again. Oh, this is classic. You know what it reminds me of?...2 in the morning, it's like, come down to Crazy Heroes Television sets. We got the hottest deals around town. Oh, I love that. Logan, apparently there was no sound. I'm sorry, you guys. Nothing I can do about it right now. But the point is, it's ridiculous. If you search Tiger TV or something like that, it comes up. But that has got to be the most embarrassing video on the entire......of our favorite buddy Logan there. And you can see behind his eyes the whole time. He knows what kind of commercial he's in. The act of defiance. He's wearing his Raise the World shirt under his sport coat to... I didn't want to do this. I didn't want to do this, but they made me. I had to. It's like Superman. No, that's old. Yeah, that's old. Yeah, that was amazing. Alright, so I think that's pretty much it. Thank you, Kyle, for joining us. We really appreciate having you on the show. Be on, guys. Alright, take care. You too....these two confusing topics. Alright, yeah. This is kind of the thing. A whole whack load of weirdness. This is at the NCIX forums of all places. I'm going to go ahead and screen share with you guys. Here is posted by Bloody Lunatech. And the original article is from Tech Power Up. And the rumor is that NVIDIA is working on a GTX Titan refresh. But, like, it totally looks like someone just painted it. And I have some reasons for it. Do you think those are silver fins? No, those look like dark aluminum fins. Do they look like dark aluminum? No, I think they look like dark aluminum. I think you'd have a hard time changing the texture of the shroud here to make it, like, more dark than it already was. I don't know, man. You should see some of the pictures of people painting Titans. That's some pretty easy stuff to paint. Okay, fair enough. Okay, hold on. Okay, okay, when we've seen Photoshopped cards in the past, though, no one really seems to bother with two chops of it. It's usually like one good Photoshop or something like that. And they've done two... I mean, people have actually... Right, okay. I think that this is just a painted Titan. I just don't understand why the hell they would release this. I mean, okay, here's... It has a few more Cuda cores. I guess if we didn't have 780 Ti coming, then this might make sense. Because then Titan could still be... as the multi-way SLI 6-gig monster. But with EVGA releasing that Kingpin edition 780 Ti... It's like, why does this exist? We can tell you guys, okay, well, it would have slightly better performance with its full double precision floating point enabledness. But... It's very weird. Yeah. It doesn't seem like I kind of get it. Okay, for example, are you and I going to... Not a real thing?......much money. 780 Ti is like... Yeah. Quite a few people asking me, should I get a 700 series now? Maxwell and.........is, it should be on a new...... It should be at least a strong step forward in terms of.........680 Ti. They've just......... So here's the pricing. This one performs better, so here's the pricing. Yeah, so it's not like actually... I don't know. We can't really say. We could be wrong. They could ADA............ AMD is doing real good though. Especially with our 1992 90's. Yeah, 290's are strong. I've got to wonder how profitable it is for them though. That is a big.........pretty near what they were doing with 7950 back when that launched. during the fact that it is a more produced because it consumes more power and it is a more expensive cool because it kicks out more heat it's a newer it's a newer design so the yields aren't gonna be as high like I really got a wonder if if what they're doing right now isn't just totally crazy town yeah arrived so we're gonna be doing and we're gonna get them both to the point where throttling goes away capable of so stay tuned for that online it's like tips actually pretty stoked yeah I'm pretty excited about that because up till I haven't even people I get called an Nvidia fanboy a lot and I get called an AMD fanboy but on our on our the the release were Nvidia fanboys yeah I mean if there's an AMD release for AMD fanboys if there's an Nvidia fanboy so on our holiday buyers guide I had someone I hated on Nvidia or on AMD so hard and I was like okay well two things number one is that one out of our three systems had an AMD number two is that two out of our three systems had AMD graphics cards in them so out of a six so yeah so if fanboy then so is he anyone who all right so our next topic that is like what the heck was this I can't even find it right now the black no no the other one we already talked about that this is crazy fan design it's right under the black thing yeah there it is okay seven on the forum and it looks perfectly normal okay until you like there's a box hold on hold on hold on there's a box that's normal yeah it supports 4k which is normal it's got two fans which are no oh what the heck what the heck is going on here so we got five big okay so first of all it looks like in draft cooler towards the heat sink is sucking air from the heat sink okay so there's a couple of advantages and disadvantages to this so advantage number one is that this simple be quieter is my understanding although you're gonna have to have a reasonable shroud on it and stuff like that but this advantage um not whatever I think that's about the only advantage I can come up with their advantage would that be that it doesn't exhaust air down towards the people on the motherboard so your motherboard so it's gonna be pulling air from around it and then yeah like like okay that's really an advantage okay I don't I just say imagine your raid card would say I'm not advantage of pulling air through you can't control the direction of the extremely well it's the best as well just turn the fan around because it's the same thing weird thing about it is look at these little baby baby blades right here I thought they were like reflections at first and I was like no no no no no no those are those are definitely things so I will be interested I don't think we have a power color contact but this is funny this is what the OP is like yeah me of like of like Nemo finding Nemo little fins on like clownfish so yeah I guess we'll reserve judgment on this one for now there is also some feature that makes it spin it like basically max fans I am so tired of seeing that these don't do anything it's gonna cool down I had I had an unboxing I did that someone complained I didn't mention that it keeps the fan spinning after your system powers down increases longevity actually for longevity it's proven it's done it's put to rest no all it does is make your sound when you turn it off yeah because 100% fans be real real loud it doesn't usually go that fast I can tell you that much all right so we actually had a couple razor things this week so number one was we have crack in headphones that we just released our unboxing of and number two is that razor did a press release evil genius eSports gaming products I'm gonna let you take this one because if you saw I have no idea why this is a big deal me either why are people okay good thank you why are people freaking out well color schemes are a thing like freaking out in like negative way well they shouldn't because it's another box so much I mean for every I probably have steel so yeah there's a steel series 7h fanatic right there still series is a blue one for no no that's just a special edition like this this whole sponsored thing is like are you gonna phone up Nike and be like Jordan shoes that's not cool man don't do like sponsored shoes don't know I mean I don't deal in terms of like I don't care they look good though if an eSports team you know puts their branding on a peripheral I don't I'm not gonna buy it I'm also not gonna be upset I just I mean something to something to understand about this guys sports teams rely on sponsorship eSports they rely on sponsorship and while frankly a lot of the time I mean it's no secret that there are eSports players out there that wear the branded headset that their sponsor put on and then have like I mean underneath them they just like put the cables it's like it is what it is if you want to buy real gear don't buy things based on what someone uses on camera buy things based know what they use off camera or buy things based on really try and you can actually know it works really well for yourself make purchase to say to this TTE sports has a couple of mice that I actually feel are quite cool one so you're actually have a lot of input on it yeah because I put my hand on the mouse and I went oh it's made yeah I was like I can't use this because I'm a Russian dude where that made a lot of sense to me but rebranding exists don't feel strongly about here's the mouse okay yeah the white Ross if you're a mouse yeah so if you're just rebranding an existing product if you think the color scheme's great they go for it if you think TV and you want them to get a small commission on the sponsorship go for it it's a great way or someone that you you know feel strongly deserves the support that's I think it's uncomplicated the color scheme is really sharp yeah like it looks really good I actually really like the color scheme on that keyboard yeah the keyboard looks amazing to you that it's too bad it's not cherry MX sort of keyboard but I like the yeah looks great and if you if you like the switches that happen to be on it then that's like great design of the mouse pad looks nice and most my mouse pads are one of those things where it's just like okay whatever it's a mouse pad there's differences there are differences I personally really prefer QCK's I won't use anything else so I guess I shouldn't say it's just a mouse pad but if you don't already have a specific mouse pad I will order this one if you have a specific mouse pad that you really really like then it's worth a shot because I don't think it comes at a huge premium I'd be here how about this I would rather buy a peripheral that's branded around you know what guys hit us up on Twitter tell us what you think about about sponsored branded peripherals we'd love to hear it because there's tons there's ones for like modern warfare 3 Logitech did a modern warfare 3 thing there's ones for actual gamers there's ones for I think that's about it but I was gonna try and come up with at least well the I mean the thing a little of the whole team branded ones those and I raise an eyebrow because there's no such thing as two gamers even on the same team they're gonna be like yeah I want exactly like that one and another thing to actually times of gamers who wear IEMs under their their sponsored headphones there are the rumors are abundant that Yonex follow badminton you might not have any idea what Yonex is but that Yonex actually makes special for their sponsored players that have the the pain of whatever the current high-end thing they're pushing is but are actually the racket that that player likes it makes sense it makes sense triple your players that you sponsored by giving them something that they don't like even if it's a great product there are great products that I so it's preference and I'm not even gonna be as picky as a pro gamer the one thing that kind of ticks me off all the time is stuff like this giving the formidable pro gamer is that evil geniuses to smooth this glide to get the light enemies effectively it's like shut up the last hit on enemies effectively yeah through this possible glad when you're you an actual noticeable advantage over some dude with a cardboard no like come on last hitting things in league like or Dota like she but you gotta look at it too I mean I really I feel like get lied to a lot and I feel like that yeah whereas a hardware enthusiasts spend all their like this is what I used to do I spent all my friggin time reading up about you know the bloody sensors in the mice you know micro you know laser reflections on the various to the point where I actually have no time for gaming and that's really where I feel like there is there is room for someone to bridge the gap we should probably try a little bit harder to do that we take some of these products and try and talk about sort of reading between the lines of the product marketing because quite frankly that mouse in that mouse pad probably provides an excellent gaming experience I haven't used them yet but I don't think there's gonna be them but I don't find it but someone in the chat can probably say the quote but there's one of the JDONG is one of the guys on EG and he has a review of I think Matt someone I know I don't want to click on something during the stream but and like the one guy's like oh yeah it makes my performance better and you're like regurgitated crap and then there's JDONG's review and it's like well it wasn't as acceptable as 10,000 fangirls but I think it was acceptable yes there you go here we go Mark says where and if it's sponsored I'll if I won't want to buy it I'm gonna try it I don't care for them less stupid logos is better it's fun that because it's it's not like it's not gonna have a laser logo just not disagreeing with you necessarily usually they're not that good more for the sake of costing more a lot of times the rebrands whether it's whether or not you think that product sometimes they do like because I was talking to a manufacturer about potentially doing a co-branded line and they figured by the time there's you know a dollar commission on each one that would add about four dollars to the end user price because the retailer's gonna want additional blah blah blah this and that I'm sure different color schemes however don't like the price premium I think sponsor branded peripherals are cool list buy what you want and that's where I stand companies can't sell their product with actual quality I'm not gonna buy it that's interesting so you prefer a company to focus on brand and sell it that but but a lot of times they do because it's just the reason like that's a 7h just the fanatic edition which it's still awesome yeah but they're selling you a 7h yes you're buying a different version which is like colorized so they're still selling you the quality of the brand idea of better and supporting your favorite teams someone says please licks licks ear for me not on camera I buy keyboards looks good and goes to a team I have the fanatic 7h but I hate fanatic alright then color scheme on that headset is out there isn't it Tyler I think your favorite teams isn't as good as other products and that is an interesting thing again that that powder that a sponsorship keyboard and then work in a reasonable amount of the margin to give to the eSports team and have it not become a $200 keyboard all of a sudden and then it's like okay well now who's gonna but then at the same time like okay if I was going out and buying a if I was buying and I knew exactly what keyboard I wanted and there was a five or ten dollar more variant that eg on it and it was colorized like that I'd probably go for it one I like team eg we have over 6,000 years I think that's a new record that is actually really cool thank you one I really like team eg I like a lot of the guys on the team in controls really cool JDONG is really cool Huck's really cool like I like a lot of the guys on the team and it looks so cool yep I would play I would pay enough for just the recolorization in itself so crazy is the way I see it if a big company like audio technica started sponsoring themselves then I'd be more skeptical afraid I don't quite understand John port says he bought an OCZ fatality series parcel why but I think it's the same as the original except with a sticker yes and a red LED light point though yeah red LEDs cool individual sleeving that was the first one to do individual sleeving speaking of OCZ going out of business I always thought pro gamers wearing earphones under their heads that was purely you can that isolate pretty well that's a thing yeah yeah that's like both quiet comfort 35 hey Brandon what are really what headphones do you have QC 15 rather sorry just like a weird everybody yeah it's kind of crazy I'll like yell at him from the door and you can't hear well that's probably just ignoring you know he doesn't ignore me I don't mind that I have every fanatic edition 7 oh I think that's the same guy I thought everyone who owned a 7h fanatic in the world was watching our stream hey I like fanatic too they're really cool yeah tiger hoods I don't mind them personally but full price actually that's what tech always clear warfare branded peripherals for yeah you could get g9x's for like 29 bucks half a dozen of them uh wrap them too final wrap them I've seen people final wrap it's fine I'm gonna let you take this one star citizen cracks 32 million is the uh so is the name of a thread and then it was 31 million dollars the day before and the poster askew raise so much cash it's ship reselling 100% for a while there and why this burst happened I'll get into why the burst happened because if you look at the trend why so much money is they're selling large components in the game already and the process is that we cannot fly in the game yet we cannot feel flight mechanics in any way of all these different ships yet they're selling tons of them and they're hyping it like crazy and one thing that bugs me too is they're hitting milestones these multi-million dollar milestones are like look more ships that you can buy right now so they're getting more money which is kind of bugging me and they shut down the LTI system which is lifetime insurance system which a lot of the kickstarter backers got and I think if you backed enough after the kickstarter thing I think you might have been able to get it too I'm not sure probably explain what lifetime insurance is lifetime well you can't lose your ship you can't lose the hull yeah these are like the weapons and cargo and whatnot yeah yeah but you can't like fix it back up again you're able to fly the ships yet you're not able to fly the ships or try them out yet it's okay everyone having insurance I want there to be like when I'm like I'm like one of the no no no no no you can't get it anymore yeah I know you can't buy in to be able to but I've been like that for a while I know old people want to you know buy a bunch of ships or whatever and I can blow them up later then whatever but then they'll be on LTI so it doesn't really matter ones that are buying now won't oh that's my point is that that is why there was the surge yeah they took it away so right before they took it away but by all the stuff so there was this like oh my god oh my god another milestone immediately afterwards because of that I'm still me too although close to we should have come back soon and we'll see if it I wish I wish they dropped LTI like even after dog fighting because I've been I poured a little bit of money in and I've been terrible since then because it's like there's such a draw like looks so cool yeah all this cool stuff but then it's like already be good enough for me once I make some modifications to it and since I'm just going to be parking it in the back of Linus's ship anyway while we fly around together you know exploring the universe yeah basically I just I wish I could fly the ship yeah that's it I'm really I think star citizen is still like 32 million sounds like a lot GTA 5 cost what like 500 million dollars I don't I think it was 50 not 500 50 GTA 5 budget maybe it was five hold on budget budget budget biggest budget ever that's it someone says cost more than an American city here we go 265 million okay so yeah GTA 5 cost 265 million they have 30 money yeah but it's still not an insane amount of money so you consider when you can think so I'm a little bit I think dog fighting can either completely make or break it cool guy well he's so dedicated yeah that's why I'm not that word I had the opportunity to meet him personally which is kind of cool because yeah I know because most most kickstarter you find like I'm gonna be fine but I'm still I'm still kind of staying away from it a little bit until I can fly around and then I know I own and it's awesome I'm gonna be like oh my god I'm so stoked been trying to stay away from it a little bit speaking of kickstarter and flying around oh brilliant segue amazing I posted on the forum this amazing video about a kickstarter campaign that I had look at this thing it is a smartphone control airplane so it's a back color that goes onto the back of a paper airplane that allows you to find with a bluetooth smart and a tablet so right now or actually not right now because they have they have busted the Android stretch goal so the beginning it was iPhone only but I just kind of went for it I was like yeah whatever this is gonna destroy the stretch target so I'll be I'll be flying this phone no problem yeah but we just got an iPad mini anyway so you'll be able to fly it or we'll be able to fly it and try it out I hope they show it a little bit on the kickstarter page it shows it no they show it later in the video I think we'll just let it keep flying but it goes for about 10 minutes apparently and they're gonna be shipping them next year it's not when you consider what an RC it's just a 30 but like it's really not that bad and there's not much to break a which means that if you go down nose first into something it's a lot less likely to cause serious problems for you although proof no as they oh look at it go so awesome it's cool how he slows it down when it comes close I know I love it so the original article was from our tweak town rather tweak town tweak town gonna make sure we give credit where credit's due so there it is so you guys can see there's the receiver so the transmitter will obviously be your phone or tablet here are the electronics and then there's just a simple piece whatever this is called it goes back to a motor and a propeller it's pretty simple looks ballin I love it 4000 backers with 56 days to go it just went up amazing I love how they like crushed their goal I actually had no idea you back to this kind of cool yeah as soon as I saw it I was like oh yeah well I'm pretty stoked I love RC crap yeah so cheap RC crap can break it's a lot of the times what's gonna get damaged like the wings and stuff it's like dude it's a big one like another one who cares the park with like a bunch of a bunch of paper hey I don't know if that really counts could have been okay here we go but it's not worth people dying over so there's actually a site called black Friday death count and it's actually it's being updated for black Friday right now and it seems to be getting worse yeah so they record injuries and death so there was the I actually remember the Toys R Us shooting I remember you know that 2008 target shoppers step over collapses and dies remember that 20 people injured and I think it was no no it was 10 people injured in a stampede back or four people rather 10 10 in the so I remember Friday yeah it's like yeah I thought it meant that people died oh it wasn't until I worked for a retailer that I that I understood that it's supposed to be the first day of the year that retailers are in the black not in the red profitability which isn't because everyone loses all right so injuries and deaths this year looks like the longest list yet carrying a TV home from Target there's a sends one police officer to hospital Virginia man stabbed King space and you can see the link so apparently there's been a death now a teen returning home from black Friday shopping falls asleep at the wheel is killed in the red one I think you could debate a little bit yeah I would if if he camped out like crazy or something I kind of yeah just buy things on like please yeah I mean they've $40 or even if you save $400 is it really worth it but compared to online you're probably not gonna save $400 that's true a lot of people have like straight up equivalent black bread like check out Amazon there's some really good sales you know I didn't feel like peeling I saw the I saw the Audio Technica and 50s and 99 I think you buy those they sold out did you buy those M50s yeah yeah have you heard of outlet Amazon oh if you google Amazon outlets let me see if I can find it real quick Amazon outlets and be sure to use our affiliate code yeah Linus tech 20 so yeah if you google Amazon outlets there's an outlet on Amazon where they're kind of getting rid of stuff and they have crazy sales all the time really I haven't even heard of this before yeah well you go apparently it's a thing so there's like men's cufflinks for example yeah so it's like hmm already then so moving on to our next topic Dell is teasing I know I know he's teasing a 4k 24 inch monitor now you and I have this con four inch size what like why why the hell do we not have 2560 by 1440 or 2560 by 1600 why the hell do we not have that and I love 20 just like bam I'm there with 16 by 10 24 inch like it but it's always been like the best I could get was 1920 by 12.8 because it's like yeah there's no higher resolution that size oh wow I didn't even know it was yeah 99% Adobe RGB coverage check my notes bro that's like that's equivalent to okay so that's equivalent in terms of RGB coverage to their add to e of less than two is basically in colors yeah panel yeah holy crap read my notes dude you're warned you can get a premium pixel get details are unknown for this resolution screen but zero bright pixel guarantee yeah it's on there no it's holy crap you know I've read the LCD industry remember when Dell was you know Dell and Apple were the only ones to release a 30 inch monitor Dell was the only one driving things the 24 or 5 FPW is legendary it was a great monitor our price yeah no pricing yet for this one on their website officially I looked elsewhere I did all I did it well basically I felt like they were asleep at the wheel for the last few years it's like yeah here's kind of that one we did and it's like kind of different but like whatever we made the ID slightly uglier looking sorry about that but here's some QC issues honorary to Ruby to this is a community that has been waiting for someone to grab it by the horns and place order for panels commit and bring it to market and we will show you how much we want it I am really excited about this because it's one thing to talk about stupid things like that Seiki 50 inch 55 inch 4k TV you know what who cares it's 30 Hertz input and on top of that quality the contrast ratio is apparently terrible like just terrible yep you might as well buy a 1080p and is it 30 Hertz yeah yeah 30 Hertz only because it's HDMI in who cares so this on the other hand yeah it's made by Dell so I inherently trust it yep oh I've never had a Dell monitor that I've been like oh wow that was built my wife's still using our 24 or 5 fpw I was sitting with you when we found the buy sell trade thread that I bought before I left the guy feedback in his thread somewhere around there yeah so I so I was like oh wow that monitor is still working like eight years later I have I have that got booted in the screen really hard while someone was running through my house and it flat on its back and like got nailed and there's just a little the rest of the screen has lost no quality and it still works and it's like did I tell you rumble wait I'll kill him I'll kill him if he breaks my if he breaks my 279 Q I'll kill him that's illegal wow I was so mad like not okay I'm kidding I know you're kidding I mean if I killed Brock it yet I'm not gonna kill he's been peeing on not just on the couch all over the window and the blinds and like it is such a mess to clean up my mom my mom tried to train my dog to like go to the washroom inside on this like mat thing and that was a terrible idea worked but then stopped working and then it was yeah it was a mess but it won't it in the diaper so she puts the diaper on won't go and but then it'll like complain when it needs to go so my mom will take it off and put it outside then it goes he's one all the time Chloe that's fantastic I love Chloe awesome she's awesome your dog's awesome mom is yes dog trainer like genius dog trainer and it's got you back yeah thank you it's fantastic your arms on tub aware you're like she falls over and she's like and even if I do it like she doesn't even have to listen to me I don't have any treats or anything yeah all right so moving on to our next topic and she's a chihuahua the US government caught pirating military software it's like who else were they gonna sell it to if not you do you realize what you're doing well they didn't catch installs they caught them because they just like talked about how many they had installed and they were like wait what they're like yeah they're like but you only but you only bought it's not a thing so they pirated around 250 million worth of software they were sued for the total amount and managed to settle at 50 million because we're in the US military and we don't have any money because the government shuts down I know sorry sorry I shouldn't be taking cracks at Americans I love you guys I was more saying like they're just so big and then we'll never buy anything from you again and you won't exist because we're the US military and that was the thing like the statement came up from the gap yep yep yep no we're still working with them in the future so they this is for five servers and 150 standalone devices 93 servers and over 9000 over 9000 insane I absolutely insane be off the wall I love it you know the funny thing is I'm gonna run around trying to put people in jail for pirate like who goes to jail for this no one yeah so way more than percentage of worth no no no no no no we'll settle for one tip yeah it's okay okay so instead of us buying how many licenses of three right Brandon and then you so instead of buying three licenses we should just go be sues us rest of our stuff yeah we'll just don't worry about it we paid you for one so that one fifth right yeah a little bit over what yeah so speaking this is ridiculous the city of Vancouver that's where we live proudly oh amazing BAM's doorknobs which I thought was a joke like I really did honestly this this was I can't say this on the air but I'd accidentally scrolled through it Vancouver has amended its building code to outlaw the use of those wrist twisting devices in all new construction including private homes doorknobs had already been a non a non thing in large buildings but the new ruling effective in March will affect private homes and large buildings however it will not affect existing homes so it looks like I will not have to retrofit my to remove door knob why and this is from the star the start I kind of get it for public buildings I don't or private housing I mean and the funny thing is like people praising it like there's a quote from a professor design that's very progressive of Vancouver leavers may make access easier I'm sorry yeah leaver so so I mean we're not banning having things on leavers are still okay and say that yes I do in it just seems excessive it for public buildings yeah okay I get that accessibility what not what I want to but like if someone's like I really want to have door knob my own house they should be able to probably put door knobs so yeah I just I just I'm seeing energy on this the door knob okay so there's people saying I okay and then someone else is like blah blah blah I have a strong feeling about the hardware door knobs are lovely they're the jewelry of the door like you know what matters so much that the reason why I'm surprised by it and kind of like what the hell is why do anything about it I'm not necessarily that mad that it changed if I bought a new house and it's like oh that's okay my house doesn't have to have doorknobs I had to think about it oh good point no I don't know if my parents have the external garage uses a door knob okay so I would have to I would have to not have that there yes we have at least one yes I don't know if our front door does at my parents house but the garage door doesn't know people freaking out over Google Glass again speaking of which I just got mine if you watched a netlinked daily today then you'll have seen that have you had anyone no one's even noticed I went to a movie theater with them wow yeah that's kind of no one gave any cares so it was the same guy as last time but he's banned it from his diner he's asked people to remove the $1,500 headset or leave so it's the same guy yeah the same owner owns this place yep so like it's not that's okay blah blah blah I freaked out it's hilarious I got if he doesn't want to lose my continued revenue blah blah blah blah blah it's like settle down go somewhere else yeah I think it's it's gonna prescription Google you know it's like yeah off your prescription glasses so you can't come in here yeah detachable that would be kind of cool but then maybe I would add the quality problem yeah I don't know man okay thank you guys very much for watching the WAN show today big and thank you guys for watching I think I already said that once it's a good thing we're not keeping on going because we're gonna we could late guys we will have the archive today because any technical difficulties moment to explain why the archive takes so long to put up sometimes it has to do with any technical issues during the stream that has to have to take the footage convert it from variable frame rate footage to non variable frame rate footage then cut it back together in order to not lose an enormous amount of quality process we have to output extremely large files and because midday Saturday and we like have things to do yeah and then I can't really make the stamps below it because I'm not doing stuff or whatever yeah it's just it becomes but when it can go up right away we'll get it up right away thanks guys one thing before we leave actually variable frame rate problem people have been talking about shadow play lately and been trying to use it and having problems editing videos like we did it's that is it variable frame rate recording I think I've read a bunch of stuff on it and apparently one of the ways you can fix it is by converting it in programs like handbrake but then I have people that have found that that's not really helping and stuff because if you pull shadow play it's not a play footage and something like Windows media but then if you try to in something like Premiere the audio and video become unaligned if you watch my battlefield graphics cards computer that's exactly what you stand show yeah and if you so that's it you know what guys for anyone who's been struggling with this with shadow play I'm gonna go ahead I'm gonna find out if there's a way to you know maybe I'll just tweet this out but I felt the video that my guide every time embarrassingly enough I can never remember how to do it but I use as my guide for how to how to fix that problem it actually only takes a couple minutes to re-sync things so I think it's in my favorite my favorite videos but it's awesome here it is it only has 10,000 views which means not enough people are watching it or here actually I can just show you guys what it's called there so it's a tutorial convert FLV to no re-encode and fixed X split sync so guys watch that it's everything you need to know it's completely free alright peace out guys see you next week thanks guys see ya
