[328.10 --> 329.10] No. |
[329.10 --> 334.30] And, let's go with Apple Fritter for our third option, |
[334.30 --> 338.22] because I know how much you guys love, you know, |
[338.22 --> 341.22] just not contributing to the poll at all. |
[341.22 --> 342.22] Alright. |
[342.22 --> 344.22] Let's go ahead and spam the chat with this bad boy. |
[344.22 --> 346.22] Boom, boom, boom. |
[346.22 --> 349.22] Ah, I missed that first time. |
[349.22 --> 350.22] Yeah. |
[350.22 --> 352.22] No matter where you click in that. |
[352.22 --> 354.22] Apparently, the camera looks really bad today. |
[354.22 --> 356.22] I don't know what you're talking about. |
[356.22 --> 357.22] Alright. |
[357.22 --> 358.22] There we go. |
[358.22 --> 361.22] All that spam. |
[361.22 --> 365.22] So, we've already got, who's this in Twitch chat? |
[365.22 --> 367.14] One Man Pizza in Twitch chat already says, |
[367.14 --> 370.14] it's not even a question they will never. |
[370.14 --> 373.62] I don't necessarily think that's true. |
[373.62 --> 377.02] I mean, it's not like NVIDIA is in a position where, |
[377.02 --> 380.98] if some game comes out that ends up actually running, |
[380.98 --> 385.86] you know, 20, 30% better on mantle compared to DirectX 12, |
[385.86 --> 388.18] which looks like it's going to offer many of the same benefits. |
[388.18 --> 390.18] So, this kind of thing seems very unlikely. |
[390.18 --> 393.26] But, if there was a game, like a really key game, |
[393.26 --> 398.62] or lots of games, like a dozen games that run 20, 30% faster on mantle, |
[398.62 --> 402.98] you really think NVIDIA's not going to leverage that if they can? |
[402.98 --> 405.18] I don't think that's true at all. |
[405.18 --> 407.02] But, let's go ahead and see what you guys think. |
[407.02 --> 411.62] Let's fire up these results here while I move on to the next topic. |
[411.62 --> 412.14] Wow. |
[412.14 --> 415.94] We've got 51% of you saying no. |
[415.94 --> 422.02] 30% of you saying Apple Fritter and a tiny 19% of you saying yes. |
[422.02 --> 427.58] So, it looks like you guys are pretty much on the same page about both Apple Fritters |
[427.58 --> 433.02] and the chances that NVIDIA will provide any kind of support in their drivers for mantle. |
[433.02 --> 435.02] So, all right. |
[435.02 --> 437.02] Our next topic. |
[437.02 --> 438.02] Actually, you know what? |
[438.02 --> 444.02] This is a Ubisoft thing, so I think I'm really just going to have to wait until Luke gets here for this. |
[444.02 --> 448.02] So, first up is, this was posted by TechDreamer on the forum. |
[448.02 --> 449.02] Let's go. |
[449.02 --> 451.02] And the original article here is from Engadget. |
[451.02 --> 459.66] But, Tom Wheeler, the FCC Chairman, says that he may ignore Obama on the topic of net neutrality. |
[459.66 --> 468.66] Now, he made it very clear that even though he was appointed by Obama, the FCC is a separate entity, |
[468.66 --> 477.66] just because the White House says something like, you know, oh, we want to classify the Internet in the same way that we now classify telephone lines, |
[477.66 --> 485.66] so there can be no messing about with the way that traffic gets allocated and the way that bandwidth gets allocated, |
[485.66 --> 492.66] so that, you know, large corporations would have an advantage if they're able to afford to pay for Internet fast lanes. |
[492.66 --> 497.66] So, Obama's basically said, look, you know, net neutrality is a really good thing, |
[497.66 --> 502.66] but the FCC Chairman has come out and said that he thinks that the solution, while, you know, |
[502.66 --> 511.66] hopefully, hopefully, you know, the solution that the Internet service providers are offering up, |
[511.66 --> 514.66] which is that they should basically be able to do whatever they want, as far as I can tell, |
[514.66 --> 519.66] he's saying he prefers a more nuanced solution. |
[519.66 --> 524.66] So, you guys can interpret that however you want, but it sounds like what we're likely to end up with |
[524.66 --> 530.66] isn't going to be straight net neutrality and isn't going to be straight the ISPs are allowed to do whatever they want, |
[530.66 --> 537.66] but some critics and advocates are expressing their concern that a compromise between these two |
[537.66 --> 545.66] might just end up with a muddy set of rules that doesn't actually have a whole lot of meaning in the real world. |
[545.66 --> 553.66] So, guys, there are a thousand places that you can voice your opinion on the subject of net neutrality, |
[553.66 --> 557.66] but the only thing I really had to say about it at this point is go voice it. |
[557.66 --> 565.66] It's extremely important. Without net neutrality, we could see situations where, let's say, a company like, |
[565.66 --> 571.66] oh, I don't know, hypothetically, Netflix were to try to start a, let's say, hypothetically, streaming service |
[571.66 --> 579.66] where they deliver video programming to people's homes, and let's say, you know, an incumbent, let's say, Comcast, |
[579.66 --> 586.66] whose business happens to be, and these are just examples, these are hypothetical companies, any semblance they bear to existing companies is purely coincidental, |
[586.66 --> 594.66] so let's say, for example, this company hypothetically named Comcast goes, oh, well, you know, we're in the business of providing internet connections to people's homes, |
[594.66 --> 601.66] but we're also in the business of providing video content to people's homes, and if these guys are going to use our lines for that, |
[601.66 --> 608.66] well, they should be paying us a lot more than necessarily the, you know, exact amount we would normally charge for the amount of bandwidth that they're using, |
[608.66 --> 616.66] and if we don't maintain net neutrality, we will be stuck in a situation where they would be free to do that, |
[616.66 --> 623.66] and we could rely on the courts to enforce any kinds of, you know, anti-competitive laws or whatever else, |
[623.66 --> 638.66] but we talked about this last week where, oh, shoot, and I forget how long it took, I think it was back in 2000 was the issue with Intel misrepresenting the performance of their Pentium 4 processors against AMD's competitor, |
[638.66 --> 646.66] and so 14 years later, last week this was news, people who bought that misrepresented processor got $15. |
[646.66 --> 658.66] I mean, that's how long this takes, and that's how ineffective it is, so I wouldn't rely on that, we just need to make sure that we keep the freedoms that we already enjoy in the first place, |
[658.66 --> 667.66] if we want to have any chance of not living in a world where our ISPs are in control, because we know how awesome they are. |
[667.66 --> 679.66] Speaking of how awesome our ISPs are, AT&T has publicly, okay, this was posted by Dietrich W. on the forum, the original article here is from The Verge, I'll just pull this up here, |
[679.66 --> 698.66] but AT&T has, oh, that's weird, oops, okay, hold on a second, let's just change my screen share around here, wow, it just decided that it was going to go into extend mode rather than duplicate, okay, what? |
[698.66 --> 701.66] What? |
[701.66 --> 702.66] What? |
[702.66 --> 706.66] What? |
[706.66 --> 709.66] Sometimes I just don't even, you know? |
[709.66 --> 714.66] Like, I just don't even get it. |
[714.66 --> 722.66] So, let's just show desktop only on one, let's try that first, okay? |
[722.66 --> 727.66] Keep changes, sorry guys, then let's try, uh, oh, |
[727.66 --> 734.66] okay, and then that display is completely not detected anymore, which might explain some of why it's being a little bit borked. |
[734.66 --> 744.66] Anyway, the original article is from The Verge here, and AT&T has basically said, well, you know, look, we're not going to invest in high-speed fiber connections, |
[744.66 --> 751.66] and there were, they're in talks with something along the lines of a hundred cities about getting high-speed fiber rolled out, |
[751.66 --> 758.66] and this looked very reactionary to Google fiber starting to roll out in selected cities, and so they're saying, okay, look, |
[758.66 --> 764.66] we're not going to invest in any of that stuff until we know the lay of the land with the new rules. |
[764.66 --> 773.66] Um, so, basically, how much money they're going to be able to squeeze out of every, you know, foot of fiber that they lay down in these cities. |
[773.66 --> 780.66] And this is extremely disappointing to me, not only because they already got the money to build a better infrastructure. |
[780.66 --> 786.66] I mean, this was, this is, this is well documented at this point. They got the money, they did nothing with it. |
[786.66 --> 794.66] So, aside from that they've already been paid, um, this is disappointing because it's not like they're not doing just fine today. |
[794.66 --> 804.66] The plan to roll out this high-speed fiber networking is in place on the basis of they're already doing just fine, |
[804.66 --> 810.66] charging people as much as they're charging them for internet connections that at some point they had to build the infrastructure for, |
[810.66 --> 814.66] and at some point that investment paid off. From a business standpoint, |
[814.66 --> 821.66] investing in something that you can get someone to pay you fifty to seventy-five dollars a month or whatever else for |
[821.66 --> 829.66] in densely populated areas is a winning proposition and the only reason that they can afford to just sit on ass |
[829.66 --> 835.66] until presumably sometime in early to mid-2015 when these rulings get finalized. |
[835.66 --> 842.66] I mean, if it even happens then, the only reason they're able to do that is because it is so difficult for competitors to come in |
[842.66 --> 848.66] and force them to step up their game. So, I, I don't know how all this plays out. |
[848.66 --> 854.66] I mean, it's, it's easy for me to say as a Canadian, well, this is all kind of US nonsense, so it will never affect me here. |
[854.66 --> 861.66] But the problem is that so much of what happens in the US does tend to become a precedent that's been set for it now, |
[861.66 --> 870.66] and it does tend to trickle down to other places. Not everywhere, but in the case of Canada, that tends to happen a whole heck of a lot. |
