+[228.00 --> 229.00]  at the same time as CES, right?
+[229.00 --> 231.00]  Hasn't it not been at the same time for like a long time?
+[231.00 --> 232.00]  Yeah, it's been a few years.
+[232.00 --> 239.00]  It's been a few years, but it used to be that it was like two like long, hard conventions

+[307.00 --> 309.00]  The first time I saw it, I was like, wow, that's horrible.
+[309.00 --> 312.00]  But okay, to be fair, it looks really good when it's on the side of the Switch.
+[312.00 --> 314.00]  The Wii U controller with the screen in the middle?
+[314.00 --> 315.00]  Okay.
+[315.00 --> 316.00]  I actually love that one.
+[316.00 --> 317.00]  Okay.
+[317.00 --> 318.00]  But it's one of those...
+[318.00 --> 320.00]  But when it's on that like box?
+[320.00 --> 321.00]  It is weird.
+[321.00 --> 322.00]  I don't like that.
+[322.00 --> 325.00]  So, I think it's kind of a shoulder width question.
+[325.00 --> 327.00]  Oh, that could be it.
+[327.00 --> 329.00]  Because this is comfortable.
+[329.00 --> 330.00]  Yeah.
+[330.00 --> 331.00]  And this is just not.
+[331.00 --> 333.00]  No matter how ergonomic the thing you're holding is.
+[333.00 --> 338.00]  It's like the whole 10 keyless versus 104 key layout for FPS games argument.
+[338.00 --> 342.00]  You want that natural shoulder width.
+[342.00 --> 343.00]  Yeah, because I really...
+[343.00 --> 346.00]  Like my favorite controller for the Wii U is the main one.
+[346.00 --> 350.00]  With that said, let's get in a console gamer posture here.
+[350.00 --> 351.00]  Okay.
+[351.00 --> 352.00]  Because right now we're sitting at a desk.
+[352.00 --> 353.00]  Alright.
+[353.00 --> 354.00]  So hold on.
+[354.00 --> 355.00]  Alright.
+[355.00 --> 356.00]  Okay, I'm assuming the position here.
+[356.00 --> 357.00]  Alright.
+[357.00 --> 358.00]  Yeah, no, that's good.
+[358.00 --> 360.00]  You know what?
+[360.00 --> 363.00]  I'm actually liking it a lot more now.
+[363.00 --> 364.00]  See, because if you use the pillow...
+[364.00 --> 365.00]  Yeah.
+[365.00 --> 366.00]  Use the pillow.
+[366.00 --> 367.00]  Okay.
+[367.00 --> 368.00]  See, that's kind of alright.
+[368.00 --> 369.00]  That's alright.
+[369.00 --> 371.00]  But let's flip the pillow the other way.
+[371.00 --> 373.00]  That's kind of alright too.
+[373.00 --> 379.00]  Like if I've got the controller in the lap, which 90% of the time for me, if I'm using
+[379.00 --> 382.00]  a controller, it's the one in my lap.
+[382.00 --> 383.00]  Yeah.
+[383.00 --> 384.00]  So maybe...
+[384.00 --> 385.00]  Maybe we're just not...
+[385.00 --> 386.00]  We'll have to try it out.
+[386.00 --> 387.00]  Yeah.
+[387.00 --> 388.00]  We'll have to try it out.
+[388.00 --> 390.00]  Maybe we're not giving it a fair shake.
+[390.00 --> 391.00]  Okay.
+[391.00 --> 392.00]  Hit me with some more deets.
+[392.00 --> 393.00]  Joy-con.
+[393.00 --> 394.00]  You have to guess how much they are.
+[394.00 --> 395.00]  Oh, I have to guess how much they are.
+[395.00 --> 396.00]  If you want to buy extras.
+[396.00 --> 401.00]  I mean, if they're anything other than $59.99, I'll be surprised.
+[401.00 --> 406.00]  Because there's certain games that you need two full sets of those.
+[406.00 --> 408.00]  Because those are the motion controllers.
+[408.00 --> 409.00]  Oh, I see.
+[409.00 --> 410.00]  Those have motion in them.
+[410.00 --> 411.00]  Yeah.
+[411.00 --> 412.00]  So you'll have to buy another one.
+[412.00 --> 416.00]  And they have like HD vibrator things, which apparently you can like feel...
+[416.00 --> 417.00]  Like if someone...
+[417.00 --> 421.00]  If you're holding like a glass with this thing, you can like feel someone pouring water in.
+[421.00 --> 423.00]  We're gonna have to try it.
+[423.00 --> 424.00]  We're gonna have to try it.
+[424.00 --> 425.00]  Okay.
+[425.00 --> 426.00]  Alright.
+[426.00 --> 430.00]  There's gonna be like one stupid like quest in Zelda.
+[430.00 --> 431.00]  Yep.
+[431.00 --> 436.00]  Where you have to like fill water jugs or some crap.
+[436.00 --> 443.00]  And it'll be like this completely contrived like yell at your DS style thing.
+[443.00 --> 445.00]  Do you remember that?
+[445.00 --> 449.00]  I have to blow the feather thing.
+[449.00 --> 451.00]  That was so stupid.
+[451.00 --> 452.00]  They wanted to...
+[452.00 --> 453.00]  Okay.
+[453.00 --> 456.00]  For the DS, they wanted to show off how like the microphone could be integrated into games.
+[456.00 --> 460.00]  So on some weird mini game, you have to like blow on the DS.
+[460.00 --> 461.00]  So you'd see people like...
+[461.00 --> 464.00]  It was so dumb.
+[464.00 --> 466.00]  Anyways, 80 US dollars.
+[466.00 --> 468.00]  80 US dollars?
+[468.00 --> 469.00]  Yeah.
+[469.00 --> 472.00]  So $300 for a controller and then to equip...
+[472.00 --> 473.00]  $300 for a console with a controller.
+[473.00 --> 474.00]  Yeah, with a controller.
+[474.00 --> 475.00]  Yeah, with a controller.
+[475.00 --> 481.00]  And then another $240 to equip all of your friends...
+[481.00 --> 482.00]  US dollars.
+[482.00 --> 483.00]  With controllers.
+[483.00 --> 484.00]  US dollars.
+[484.00 --> 490.00]  To be fair, each Joy-Con controller, if you're playing a game that doesn't require like the motion in each hand,
+[490.00 --> 493.00]  can be split out and turned into two controllers sideways.
+[493.00 --> 494.00]  Yeah, but that...
+[494.00 --> 496.00]  I mean, if we're talking ergonomics, that's...
+[496.00 --> 497.00]  It looks horrible.
+[497.00 --> 498.00]  No.
+[498.00 --> 500.00]  It actually looks like the worst thing.
+[500.00 --> 501.00]  Yeah, no.
+[501.00 --> 503.00]  Because like Wiimotes turned sideways are doable.
+[503.00 --> 505.00]  Yeah, they're somewhat usable.
+[505.00 --> 506.00]  They're all right.
+[506.00 --> 509.00]  But they're a lot wider than the Joy-Con.
+[509.00 --> 510.00]  The Joy-Con controllers are way smaller.
+[510.00 --> 512.00]  This feels terrible to me.
+[512.00 --> 514.00]  That reminds me of that...
+[514.00 --> 517.00]  What was that SteelSeries Bluetooth controller that they...
+[517.00 --> 518.00]  It's 70, not 80, apparently.
+[518.00 --> 523.00]  That they discontinued almost immediately after they launched it.
+[523.00 --> 525.00]  I don't remember what it was called, but it was awful.
+[525.00 --> 529.00]  It was like a mobile game controller.
+[529.00 --> 530.00]  $70.
+[530.00 --> 531.00]  I was wrong.
+[531.00 --> 532.00]  $70.
+[532.00 --> 533.00]  Okay.
+[533.00 --> 534.00]  So it's $69.99.
+[534.00 --> 535.00]  Yeah.
+[535.00 --> 537.00]  Which is still $10 higher than I guessed.
+[537.00 --> 538.00]  $20.
+[538.00 --> 540.00]  You said if they're over 50 bucks.
+[540.00 --> 541.00]  I said $59.99.
+[541.00 --> 542.00]  Ah.
+[542.00 --> 544.00]  Because I think that's what everyone else is at, if I recall correctly.
+[544.00 --> 545.00]  That's very common.
+[545.00 --> 546.00]  Yeah.
+[546.00 --> 548.00]  I still don't like it.
+[548.00 --> 550.00]  And it's $70 for a Pro controller.
+[550.00 --> 551.00]  And it's $70.
+[551.00 --> 552.00]  I...
+[552.00 --> 554.00]  Yeah, but the Pro controller isn't going to have the two...
+[554.00 --> 555.00]  Yeah.
+[555.00 --> 556.00]  Isn't going to have all the motion stuff.
+[556.00 --> 562.00]  And when I'm filling my jug, I won't know how full my jug is.
+[562.00 --> 563.00]  Except for visually.
+[563.00 --> 564.00]  Yeah.
+[564.00 --> 565.00]  Right.
+[565.00 --> 567.00]  Which is where I would be looking.
+[567.00 --> 569.00]  And my attention would be focused.
+[569.00 --> 570.00]  Presumably.
+[570.00 --> 572.00]  Someone said WTF is a Pro controller.
+[572.00 --> 576.00]  That's like your more standard gaming controller deal.
+[576.00 --> 577.00]  For the Wii U.
+[577.00 --> 578.00]  Yeah.
+[578.00 --> 579.00]  And there's new ones.
+[579.00 --> 580.00]  And they look cool.
+[580.00 --> 581.00]  They have some see-through stuff going on.
+[581.00 --> 582.00]  Okay.
+[582.00 --> 583.00]  So we're back to N64.
+[585.00 --> 586.00]  That's back in fashion.
+[586.00 --> 589.00]  Is Apple going to redo their whole aluminum aesthetic?
+[589.00 --> 592.00]  And they're going to bring back the colorful iMac?
+[592.00 --> 593.00]  Hopefully.
+[593.00 --> 594.00]  Hopefully.
+[594.00 --> 596.00]  I've always loved see-through electronics.
+[596.00 --> 597.00]  Imagine a...
+[597.00 --> 598.00]  Okay.
+[598.00 --> 599.00]  Hold up.
+[599.00 --> 600.00]  Hold up.
+[600.00 --> 603.00]  Imagine like a glass razor blade.
+[603.00 --> 604.00]  Yeah.
+[604.00 --> 605.00]  I'm down.
+[605.00 --> 606.00]  100% down.
+[606.00 --> 607.00]  Yeah.
+[607.00 --> 608.00]  Yeah.
+[608.00 --> 609.00]  If it could like stand up in durability-wise.
+[609.00 --> 614.00]  When someone figures out how to economically machine and polish glass.
+[614.00 --> 615.00]  Yeah.
+[615.00 --> 616.00]  It will come.
+[616.00 --> 617.00]  Like sick.
+[617.00 --> 618.00]  It will come.
+[618.00 --> 619.00]  Like really clean.
+[619.00 --> 620.00]  Yeah.
+[620.00 --> 621.00]  Very clean.
+[621.00 --> 622.00]  Because the modern deal is clean.
+[622.00 --> 624.00]  Not like purple plastic that you can see through.
+[624.00 --> 625.00]  Well that and they'll use it anyway.
+[625.00 --> 626.00]  Even if...
+[626.00 --> 628.00]  Like they'll use it even if they make it opaque.
+[628.00 --> 629.00]  Like they could do black glass.
+[629.00 --> 630.00]  Yeah.
+[630.00 --> 631.00]  And it would be a fingerprint magnet.
+[631.00 --> 633.00]  But at least you could clean it.
+[633.00 --> 634.00]  That's see...
+[634.00 --> 635.00]  That's my...
+[635.00 --> 637.00]  I get product managers asking me this all the time.
+[637.00 --> 639.00]  Why don't you like glossy black?
+[639.00 --> 641.00]  And I'm like because it's plastic.
+[641.00 --> 642.00]  It scratches immediately.
+[642.00 --> 643.00]  It's going to scratch and look terrible.
+[643.00 --> 644.00]  Yeah.
+[644.00 --> 645.00]  It looks like garbage.
+[645.00 --> 650.00]  People call me out like oh you hate glossy plastic but you're cool with tempered glass.
+[650.00 --> 654.00]  And I'm like yeah but you can take like a microfiber cloth.
+[654.00 --> 655.00]  Yeah.
+[655.00 --> 656.00]  And like whip it a couple times.
+[656.00 --> 657.00]  Exactly.
+[657.00 --> 658.00]  And all the dust will float off and then you're fine.
+[658.00 --> 659.00]  And the...
+[659.00 --> 660.00]  Because half of the issue is static.
+[660.00 --> 661.00]  Yeah.
+[661.00 --> 664.66]  It's impossible to clean a piece of acrylic because the second you wipe it you generate
+[664.66 --> 669.72]  a static charge and it grabs all the dust within a five foot radius and like sticks
+[669.72 --> 670.72]  it there.
+[670.72 --> 672.72]  That's why we don't like it.
+[672.72 --> 673.72]  Oh.
+[673.72 --> 675.72]  Alright what else you got for me?
+[675.72 --> 676.72]  Anyways.
+[676.72 --> 680.72]  The Breath of the Wild is launching the exact same day the console is.
+[680.72 --> 682.72]  Which is surprising to anybody because...
+[682.72 --> 684.72]  Because they've been like moving it constantly.
+[684.72 --> 686.72]  Is there even another game yet?
+[686.72 --> 691.72]  It's also a little surprise to everybody because there are not a ton of other smash hits coming
+[691.72 --> 692.72]  with the console.
+[692.72 --> 693.72]  Smash hits?
+[693.72 --> 695.72]  Ah there's no smash coming with the console.
+[695.72 --> 699.72]  Mario Kart is called I think Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or something like that.
+[699.72 --> 701.72]  So I believe it's the same game.
+[701.72 --> 704.72]  But you can't put a disc into the Switch.
+[704.72 --> 707.72]  So you're going to have to buy it digitally.
+[707.72 --> 708.72]  Probably brand new.
+[708.72 --> 710.72]  Probably full price.
+[710.72 --> 712.72]  That's my guess.
+[712.72 --> 715.72]  Or like a little bit off but probably not that much.
+[715.72 --> 718.72]  Because tons of people are going to want to play Mario Kart.
+[718.72 --> 719.72]  Play Mario Kart with your friends.
+[719.72 --> 720.72]  Switch is mobile.
+[720.72 --> 721.72]  Right?
+[721.72 --> 722.72]  Yeah.
+[722.72 --> 723.72]  You can play Skyrim.
+[723.72 --> 724.72]  You saw that right?
+[724.72 --> 725.72]  Yeah.
+[725.72 --> 726.72]  Have you seen the new Mario game?
+[726.72 --> 727.72]  No I have not.
+[727.72 --> 728.72]  I've been living under a rock.
+[728.72 --> 730.72]  It looks super weird.
+[730.72 --> 732.72]  You can like parkour in New York.
+[732.72 --> 734.72]  Literally not kidding.
+[734.72 --> 736.72]  And it's not coming out until like winter.
+[736.72 --> 737.72]  Okay.
+[737.72 --> 738.72]  Okay.
+[738.72 --> 741.72]  Polygon's list of launch titles or launch window titles.
+[741.72 --> 742.72]  Here perfect.
+[742.72 --> 743.72]  Okay.
+[743.72 --> 749.72]  So launch day is 1-2 Switch which is like this basically controller demo style Nintendo game.
+[749.72 --> 750.72]  You know how they always have those?
+[750.72 --> 751.72]  Okay.
+[751.72 --> 752.72]  You know what?
+[752.72 --> 753.72]  Those are often very fun.
+[753.72 --> 754.72]  Wii Sports?
+[754.72 --> 755.72]  Was very good.
+[755.72 --> 756.72]  Okay.
+[756.72 --> 757.72]  Let me.
+[757.72 --> 758.72]  I'm going to say something and it's going to make you cry.
+[758.72 --> 759.72]  What?
+[759.72 --> 761.72]  It might even make you die a little bit inside.
+[761.72 --> 762.72]  Okay.
+[762.72 --> 763.72]  Okay.
+[763.72 --> 764.72]  So you know my gaming setup in my living room right?
+[764.72 --> 765.72]  Yes.
+[765.72 --> 766.72]  Where I have the GTX.
+[766.72 --> 769.72]  I think it's like a 980 Ti equipped PC.
+[769.72 --> 772.72]  I've got the 65 inch TV.
+[772.72 --> 776.72]  I've got the Vive VR headset.
+[776.72 --> 781.72]  Everything's set up to be simple enough that like my son can turn it on and switch between
+[781.72 --> 783.72]  all the different stuff that he wants to play.
+[783.72 --> 784.72]  Okay.
+[784.72 --> 792.72]  So in the last month he has spent about 10 times more time on the Nintendo Wii.
+[792.72 --> 793.72]  Playing Wii Sports?
+[793.72 --> 794.72]  Playing Wii Sports.
+[794.72 --> 795.72]  That doesn't make me die inside.
+[795.72 --> 796.72]  Than he has in VR.
+[796.72 --> 798.72]  No I actually totally get it.
+[798.72 --> 799.72]  I get it.
+[799.72 --> 803.72]  Like for him where both of these experiences are equally new.
+[803.72 --> 808.72]  Motion control is actually the more engaging of the two.
+[808.72 --> 810.72]  Well there's motion control.
+[810.72 --> 811.72]  Yes.
+[811.72 --> 813.72]  But pure motion control looking at the TV.
+[813.72 --> 816.72]  And there isn't a game that's as good as Wii Sports.
+[816.72 --> 818.72]  On the Vive.
+[818.72 --> 820.72]  Get wrecked but it's true.
+[820.72 --> 824.72]  If Audio Shield's algorithm wasn't garbage it would be really fun.
+[824.72 --> 829.72]  But a lot of the time you're just like, yeah this music is like so awesome I'm pumped.
+[829.72 --> 830.72]  Bing.
+[830.72 --> 831.72]  Yeah yeah here we go.
+[831.72 --> 834.72]  And it's totally out of beat and everything's sort of weird.
+[834.72 --> 835.72]  Yeah.
+[835.72 --> 839.72]  Like if I was actually, like if they actually DDR styled it.
+[839.72 --> 846.72]  Like professionally guitar heroed it to the point where everything was perfectly in tune.
+[846.72 --> 847.72]  Awesome.
+[847.72 --> 848.72]  Yeah.
+[848.72 --> 850.72]  And it's like, I can't really just sit and play Audio Shield for like hours.
+[850.72 --> 851.72]  Yeah.
+[851.72 --> 852.72]  Because even now I put up with a lot of this crap.
+[852.72 --> 856.72]  I've basically only found one game that I, or one song that I really like playing on it.
+[856.72 --> 858.72]  And it's a remix of the Imperial March.
+[858.72 --> 861.72]  And it actually like goes pretty well.
+[861.72 --> 865.72]  But it's not like ridiculously like fast paced.
+[865.72 --> 866.72]  Yeah.
+[866.72 --> 868.72]  Like I want to do this a whole bunch so I can remember how I have to move kind of deal.
+[868.72 --> 869.72]  Right.
+[869.72 --> 870.72]  Yeah.
+[870.72 --> 872.72]  It feels cool to just be like bah bah bah.
+[872.72 --> 873.72]  Right.
+[873.72 --> 875.72]  Which will work a lot better with their algorithm.
+[875.72 --> 877.72]  Because it's slow, big notes.
+[877.72 --> 878.72]  Yeah.
+[878.72 --> 881.72]  Anyways, so 1-2 Switch which is actually probably going to be pretty damn cool.
+[881.72 --> 885.72]  Because those Nintendo launch weird demo game things are actually very fun.
+[885.72 --> 888.72]  Legend of Zelda which is going to sell this console.
+[888.72 --> 889.72]  Yeah.
+[889.72 --> 890.72]  100%.
+[890.72 --> 891.72]  Yeah.
+[891.72 --> 894.72]  Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is super sick looking and it's totally going to sell the console.
+[894.72 --> 898.72]  Skylanders Imaginators and Just Dance 2017.
+[898.72 --> 900.72]  That's the launch lineup.
+[900.72 --> 901.72]  Four games.
+[901.72 --> 902.72]  One-two Switch.
+[902.72 --> 903.72]  That's the Switch.
+[903.72 --> 904.72]  That's something new.
+[904.72 --> 905.72]  Okay.
+[905.72 --> 906.72]  One-two Switch is going to be very cool.
+[906.72 --> 907.72]  Okay.
+[907.72 --> 908.72]  Has-been Heroes, March 2017.
+[908.72 --> 909.72]  Okay.
+[909.72 --> 910.72]  March 2017 is like a bajillion things.
+[910.72 --> 911.72]  There's one, two, three, four.
+[911.72 --> 912.72]  Okay.
+[912.72 --> 913.72]  What do we got?
+[913.72 --> 914.72]  Has-been Heroes, Sonic Mania.
+[914.72 --> 919.72]  It's a Sonic game that does not count.
+[919.72 --> 924.72]  I am sitting here with the game.
+[924.72 --> 925.72]  That's the game.
+[925.72 --> 926.72]  That's the game.
+[926.72 --> 927.72]  It's the game.
+[927.72 --> 928.72]  Yeah.
+[928.72 --> 929.72]  I'm sitting here with the game.
+[929.72 --> 930.72]  The game is a game.
+[930.72 --> 931.72]  I am Sitsuna.
+[931.72 --> 932.72]  No idea.
+[932.72 --> 935.72]  Lego City Undercover, whatever that is in the spring.
+[935.72 --> 936.72]  Arms-
+[936.72 --> 937.72]  Arms is a little rough.
+[937.72 --> 940.72]  Super Bomberman R, Snipperclips, cut it out together.
+[940.72 --> 941.72]  Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is literally just Mario Kart 8.
+[941.72 --> 944.72]  Is Snipperclips literally like a haircutting simulator?
+[944.72 --> 945.72]  Like what-
+[945.72 --> 946.72]  Snipperclips.
+[946.72 --> 948.72]  Even Mario Kart 8 Deluxe isn't coming till April.
+[948.72 --> 949.72]  How hard is it to release-
+[949.72 --> 950.72]  That should have been-
+[950.72 --> 951.72]  What?
+[951.72 --> 952.72]  Sniperclips.
+[952.72 --> 953.72]  Ooh.
+[953.72 --> 954.72]  Ooh, yeah.
+[954.72 --> 955.72]  No.
+[955.72 --> 956.72]  Snipperclips out it together.
+[956.72 --> 957.72]  Okay.
+[957.72 --> 958.72]  Well, what is this?
+[958.72 --> 959.72]  Wow.
+[959.72 --> 960.72]  There's like nothing.
+[960.72 --> 961.72]  I can't find it.
+[961.72 --> 962.72]  Oh, no.
+[962.72 --> 963.72]  Here, here, here.
+[963.72 --> 964.72]  Search instead.
+[964.72 --> 965.72]  Search instead.
+[965.72 --> 966.72]  Snipperclips.
+[966.72 --> 967.72]  Down, down, down.
+[967.72 --> 968.72]  There.
+[968.72 --> 969.72]  Yeah.
+[969.72 --> 970.72]  That one.
+[970.72 --> 971.72]  Yeah.
+[971.72 --> 972.72]  Nothing.
+[972.72 --> 973.72]  Great clips.
+[973.72 --> 975.72]  I mean, apparently, comes up before-
+[975.72 --> 976.72]  Oh, it's one word.
+[976.72 --> 977.72]  Before Snipperclips.
+[977.72 --> 979.72]  If we try to-
+[979.72 --> 980.72]  Snipperclips.
+[980.72 --> 981.72]  $20.
+[981.72 --> 982.72]  Cut it out together.
+[982.72 --> 983.72]  It's-
+[983.72 --> 984.72]  It's paper.
+[984.72 --> 985.72]  Okay, it's paper.
+[986.72 --> 988.72]  Um, is it Puzzle Model?
+[988.72 --> 989.72]  What are they doing?
+[989.72 --> 990.72]  Or like, I don't know.
+[990.72 --> 991.72]  Here.
+[991.72 --> 992.72]  Can you share my screen?
+[992.72 --> 993.72]  Yeah, I can't, but I'll-
+[993.72 --> 994.72]  I'm gonna bring this up.
+[994.72 --> 999.72]  If anyone else is curious what Snipperclips is, um, which-
+[999.72 --> 1000.72]  Which site are you on?
+[1000.72 --> 1001.72]  Nintendo.
+[1001.72 --> 1002.72]  Nintendo.
+[1002.72 --> 1003.72]  Okay, here we go.
+[1003.72 --> 1008.72]  Wow, it's been so long since we, uh, since we switched scenes that I actually, uh, had
+[1008.72 --> 1009.72]  that screen timeout.
+[1009.72 --> 1014.72]  Okay, so, I think it's like paper sex and it's really angry.
+[1014.72 --> 1015.72]  Yeah.
+[1015.72 --> 1016.72]  Yeah.
+[1016.72 --> 1017.72]  From the look of things.
+[1017.72 --> 1018.72]  Oh.
+[1018.72 --> 1019.72]  I'm not able to-
+[1019.72 --> 1020.72]  Yeah, there we go.
+[1020.72 --> 1023.72]  So, it's either angry or like-
+[1023.72 --> 1026.72]  So, the one on top is like, I'm mad, but I'm doing this.
+[1026.72 --> 1027.72]  Yeah.
+[1027.72 --> 1030.72]  The one on the bottom is just kinda like holding it in there, but enjoys it, smiling.
+[1030.72 --> 1031.72]  Everything's okay.
+[1031.72 --> 1032.72]  Right.
+[1032.72 --> 1033.72]  Didn't say no.
+[1033.72 --> 1034.72]  So, Mario Can Eat Deluxe.
+[1034.72 --> 1035.72]  Yeah.
+[1035.72 --> 1036.72]  60 bucks.
+[1036.72 --> 1037.72]  Okay.
+[1037.72 --> 1038.72]  So, there's basketball.
+[1038.72 --> 1042.72]  Um, there's a big green lollipop.
+[1042.72 --> 1044.72]  And the yellow one is angry.
+[1044.72 --> 1047.72]  Oh, the yellow one has got it in for the pink one there.
+[1047.72 --> 1048.72]  It's going right for it.
+[1048.72 --> 1049.72]  Yeah.
+[1049.72 --> 1051.72]  Um, pink one's like, yeah, I'm ready.
+[1051.72 --> 1052.72]  Okay.
+[1052.72 --> 1053.72]  Basketball.
+[1053.72 --> 1056.72]  Okay, so, is it like a puzzle game?
+[1056.72 --> 1057.72]  I don't know.
+[1057.72 --> 1058.72]  All right.
+[1058.72 --> 1062.72]  It's action, action, comma, puzzles.
+[1062.72 --> 1063.72]  Action, comma, puzzles.
+[1063.72 --> 1064.72]  Cool.
+[1064.72 --> 1067.72]  So, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is $60.
+[1067.72 --> 1068.72]  Yeah.
+[1068.72 --> 1070.72]  Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the same cost as Breath of the Wild.
+[1070.72 --> 1071.72]  So, basically, they're gonna sell-
+[1071.72 --> 1072.72]  I already own Mario Kart 8.
+[1072.72 --> 1077.72]  Well, 12 million Switches on launch day.
+[1077.72 --> 1081.72]  And 12 million copies of Zelda on launch day.
+[1081.72 --> 1085.72]  And then nothing for months, as far as I can tell.
+[1085.72 --> 1087.72]  Arms looks like-
+[1087.72 --> 1090.72]  Like, I can't believe this is its own stand-alone title.
+[1090.72 --> 1092.72]  Is it like a boxing game?
+[1092.72 --> 1093.72]  It's an arena.
+[1093.72 --> 1094.72]  You wanna like play it?
+[1094.72 --> 1095.72]  Yeah, sure.
+[1095.72 --> 1096.72]  If you scroll down on your-
+[1096.72 --> 1097.72]  If you go to the Nintendo thing, scroll down.
+[1097.72 --> 1100.72]  I can't play it, because they're gonna like claim our video.
+[1100.72 --> 1102.72]  Okay, so maybe don't then.
+[1102.72 --> 1103.72]  Yeah, I'll just-
+[1103.72 --> 1104.72]  I can play it for you here.
+[1104.72 --> 1109.72]  Sure, I'm just gonna bring this up, so you guys can at least have a look at it.
+[1109.72 --> 1113.72]  So, okay, yeah.
+[1113.72 --> 1114.72]  Not gonna play that.
+[1114.72 --> 1116.72]  The first fighting game of its kind.
+[1116.72 --> 1121.72]  Choose a champion, equip your own combination of extendable arms, then a mix of button presses-
+[1121.72 --> 1122.72]  So, okay, okay.
+[1122.72 --> 1123.72]  So, it's Wii Boxing.
+[1123.72 --> 1127.72]  It's Wii Boxing, essentially, as its own entire game.
+[1127.72 --> 1134.72]  But you're gonna need- you need your own full set of the Joy-Cons, because one- each one is each arm.
+[1134.72 --> 1136.72]  It's an arena combat game.
+[1136.72 --> 1139.72]  So, it's Street Fighter, but Wii Boxing.
+[1139.72 --> 1141.72]  And your arms extend.
+[1141.72 --> 1145.72]  And if you turn the controller while you have your arm out-
+[1145.72 --> 1149.72]  So, you punch and then you turn the controller, that will curve the fist.
+[1149.72 --> 1156.72]  This is a full-priced game, which costs the same amount as Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild.
+[1158.72 --> 1159.72]  And you can block.
+[1159.72 --> 1160.72]  Yeah.
+[1160.72 --> 1162.72]  Um, okay.
+[1166.72 --> 1167.72]  So, moving on.
+[1167.72 --> 1168.72]  Yeah.
+[1168.72 --> 1170.72]  Um, the- oh, right.
+[1170.72 --> 1173.72]  Super Mario Odyssey is the other one I was talking about.
+[1173.72 --> 1174.72]  Okay.
+[1174.72 --> 1175.72]  So, you wanna check out screenshots of that?
+[1175.72 --> 1176.72]  Uh, yeah.
+[1176.72 --> 1184.72]  We should probably move on, because this is enough of people sort of hearing us hate everything about this.
+[1184.72 --> 1187.72]  I mean, you're gonna buy one anyway.
+[1187.72 --> 1188.72]  I love it, and I'm gonna buy one.
+[1188.72 --> 1189.72]  Yeah, okay.
+[1190.72 --> 1191.72]  I think it's really cool.
+[1192.72 --> 1193.72]  Are you gonna buy arms?
+[1193.72 --> 1194.72]  No.
+[1194.72 --> 1195.72]  Okay.
+[1195.72 --> 1196.72]  I'm not gonna buy arms.
+[1196.72 --> 1198.72]  I'm gonna buy Super Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
+[1198.72 --> 1199.72]  You're gonna buy Switch.
+[1199.72 --> 1200.72]  Yeah.
+[1200.72 --> 1201.72]  And you're gonna buy Breath of the Wild.
+[1201.72 --> 1202.72]  Yeah.
+[1202.72 --> 1203.72]  And you're gonna wait.
+[1203.72 --> 1205.72]  No, I'm gonna get 1-2 Switch.
+[1205.72 --> 1206.72]  You're gonna get 1-2 Switch?
+[1206.72 --> 1207.72]  Oh, it doesn't come with it?
+[1207.72 --> 1208.72]  I don't think so.
+[1211.72 --> 1215.72]  The packages that I saw did not say that it included 1-2 Switch.
+[1215.72 --> 1216.72]  It might.
+[1216.72 --> 1220.72]  I bet you it comes with a demo disc-y thing with other games that aren't that.
+[1223.72 --> 1224.72]  Nintendo Switch included games.
+[1224.72 --> 1227.72]  No, no bundled games.
+[1227.72 --> 1229.72]  So 1-2 Switch is like a full price game.
+[1229.72 --> 1232.72]  So I'll buy it with 1-2 Switch and Breath of the Wild.
+[1233.72 --> 1237.72]  And then I'll wait until Mario Kart 8 Deluxe comes out.
+[1237.72 --> 1239.72]  And then I think I'm done for a while.
+[1240.72 --> 1243.72]  Let's see.
+[1243.72 --> 1249.72]  Mario Kart 8 maybe Splatoon 2, but probably not.
+[1249.72 --> 1251.72]  And then it's Holiday 2017.
+[1251.72 --> 1252.72]  As far as I can tell.
+[1253.72 --> 1255.72]  Not gonna bother buy Skyrim.
+[1255.72 --> 1256.72]  Yeah, Skyrim.
+[1256.72 --> 1258.72]  Not gonna buy a basketball game.
+[1258.72 --> 1260.72]  Definitely not gonna buy Snipperclips.
+[1260.72 --> 1265.72]  Skyrim for all of the people who don't own Skyrim on any of the platforms.
+[1265.72 --> 1266.72]  It's sorta cool.
+[1266.72 --> 1269.72]  It's on every platform already.
+[1270.72 --> 1271.72]  It's sorta cool.
+[1271.72 --> 1272.72]  Literally every platform.
+[1273.72 --> 1275.72]  Other things that they- I don't think this is a comprehensive-
+[1275.72 --> 1276.72]  Your mom wants to play Skyrim.
+[1276.72 --> 1277.72]  This is not a-
+[1277.72 --> 1278.72]  No, Witcher 3.
+[1278.72 --> 1279.72]  Witcher 3.
+[1279.72 --> 1280.72]  Witcher 3.
+[1280.72 --> 1281.72]  This is not a comprehensive list though.
+[1281.72 --> 1282.72]  Colton's mom doesn't even wanna play Skyrim.
+[1282.72 --> 1284.72]  There's no way this is a comprehensive list.
+[1284.72 --> 1288.72]  Because there was at least one game that I saw that isn't on here.
+[1288.72 --> 1290.72]  And there's a few others as well.
+[1290.72 --> 1294.72]  There isn't a- man, what's that game that Brandon just loves and is actually really fun?
+[1294.72 --> 1295.72]  I don't remember.
+[1295.72 --> 1296.72]  It's a JRPG.
+[1296.72 --> 1297.72]  It's really good.
+[1297.72 --> 1298.72]  It's not on here.
+[1298.72 --> 1301.72]  There's a few JRPGs that were announced that aren't on here.
+[1301.72 --> 1305.72]  And I saw Minecraft in the art stuff that was flipping by and it's not on here.
+[1305.72 --> 1306.72]  So there are other things.
+[1306.72 --> 1308.72]  Skyrim runs on Linux.
+[1308.72 --> 1309.72]  Polygon's list is not perfect.
+[1309.72 --> 1311.72]  Skyrim runs on Linux.
+[1311.72 --> 1312.72]  Nice.
+[1312.72 --> 1313.72]  That's awesome.
+[1313.72 --> 1314.72]  Terrible.
+[1314.72 --> 1315.72]  That is actually awesome.
+[1317.72 --> 1318.72]  Alright.
+[1318.72 --> 1321.72]  Xenoblade 2, Fire Emblem, Diaga.
+[1321.72 --> 1325.72]  There's some pretty major games that aren't not on Polygon's list.
+[1325.72 --> 1326.72]  Okay.
+[1326.72 --> 1327.72]  So I don't know what they're doing.
+[1327.72 --> 1328.72]  Maybe they just don't have confirmed dates for them.
+[1328.72 --> 1329.72]  So I didn't put them on the list.
+[1329.72 --> 1331.72]  6.2 inch display.
+[1331.72 --> 1332.72]  Fire Emblem, Diaga.
+[1332.72 --> 1334.72]  720p multi-touch.
+[1334.72 --> 1340.72]  2.5 to 6 hours of battery life can charge over a USB Type-C.
+[1340.72 --> 1342.72]  That is a huge range.
+[1342.72 --> 1344.72]  How do you get 6?
+[1344.72 --> 1346.72]  Well, they're talking about different games and stuff.
+[1346.72 --> 1351.72]  So if you play that weird snip clip game versus Breath of the Wild, it's probably...
+[1351.72 --> 1352.72]  Okay.
+[1352.72 --> 1353.72]  Fair enough.
+[1353.72 --> 1354.72]  Yeah.
+[1354.72 --> 1355.72]  Charge us over Type-C.
+[1355.72 --> 1356.72]  Pretty cool.
+[1356.72 --> 1358.72]  Nintendo not doing a proprietary connector.
+[1358.72 --> 1359.72]  32 gigs on board.
+[1359.72 --> 1360.72]  Expandable via micro SD.
+[1360.72 --> 1361.72]  Very nice.
+[1361.72 --> 1363.72]  I'm surprised they're not trying to sell us like a...
+[1363.72 --> 1365.72]  Micro SD Type-C.
+[1365.72 --> 1366.72]  $70...
+[1366.72 --> 1367.72]  But you don't get an included game.
+[1367.72 --> 1369.72]  But you don't get a game.
+[1369.72 --> 1376.72]  It's like, okay, we will loosen the death grip we have on your wallets for accessories and expandable storage.
+[1376.72 --> 1380.72]  And in return, you will pay us for the game development we did.
+[1380.72 --> 1381.72]  Okay?
+[1381.72 --> 1382.72]  Is that okay with everyone?
+[1382.72 --> 1383.72]  Because we're okay with that.
+[1383.72 --> 1385.72]  I mean, that sort of does make more sense.
+[1385.72 --> 1391.72]  802.11ac Wi-Fi and up to 8 Switch consoles at once for local multiplayer.
+[1391.72 --> 1392.72]  Because they do their own little Wi-Fi thing.
+[1392.72 --> 1393.72]  Okay.
+[1393.72 --> 1394.72]  Done.
+[1394.72 --> 1395.72]  I'm gonna get one.
+[1395.72 --> 1396.72]  We're gonna have a review of it.
+[1396.72 --> 1397.72]  Everything's gonna be cool.
+[1397.72 --> 1400.72]  I'm gonna buy not that many games, but the games that I do buy will be awesome.
+[1400.72 --> 1409.72]  In other news, Razor's prototypes of Project Valerie were stolen.
+[1409.72 --> 1410.72]  Bummer.
+[1410.72 --> 1416.72]  They are offering a $25,000 reward for any information...
+[1416.72 --> 1418.72]  I don't think any information.
+[1418.72 --> 1425.72]  But basically, they are offering a reward for someone who helps them get it back or returns it.
+[1425.72 --> 1429.72]  ...
+[1429.72 --> 1431.72]  And everyone is blaming me and Tom Syndicate!
+[1431.72 --> 1438.72]  So, I want to settle this once and for all.
+[1438.72 --> 1440.72]  I will not admit...
+[1440.72 --> 1441.72]  ...
+[1441.72 --> 1442.72]  ...
+[1442.72 --> 1443.72]  ...
+[1443.72 --> 1444.72]  ...
+[1444.72 --> 1445.72]  ...
+[1445.72 --> 1447.72]  You gotta...
+[1448.40 --> 1449.34]  There you go.
+[1449.82 --> 1450.62]  That was a pretty good edit.
+[1450.64 --> 1452.72]  This is circumstantial evidence at best.
+[1452.72 --> 1453.34]  That was a pretty good edit.
+[1454.02 --> 1454.46]  Circumstantial.
+[1454.68 --> 1455.84]  That was a pretty damn good edit.
+[1456.06 --> 1460.42]  I am clearly still at CES in this photograph.
+[1460.42 --> 1464.60]  You know, it's a little awkward that you would have that at the AMD event.
+[1466.22 --> 1473.88]  I really don't think that anything about the Ryzen poster over my right shoulder would indicate that I am...
+[1473.88 --> 1474.50]  Does that mean you're...
+[1474.50 --> 1475.66]  I'm in the Razor booth here.
+[1475.72 --> 1476.80]  You're giving trade secrets?
+[1476.92 --> 1478.12]  I'm in the Razor booth here.
+[1478.20 --> 1478.66]  To AMD?
+[1478.82 --> 1479.76]  Clearly in the Razor booth.
+[1479.92 --> 1480.36]  Interesting.
+[1480.88 --> 1481.28]  Obviously.
+[1481.88 --> 1484.14]  2018, there's gonna be an AMD laptop.
+[1484.32 --> 1485.22]  Three screens.
+[1488.02 --> 1490.80]  And little did they know, they stole the worst idea ever.
+[1494.42 --> 1496.58]  This is clearly much better evidence.
+[1499.02 --> 1501.04]  I don't know why he's talking about me there, though.
+[1501.06 --> 1501.94]  Let's just do that.
+[1502.28 --> 1502.56]  There.
+[1503.08 --> 1503.48]  Working.
+[1504.28 --> 1504.54]  See?
+[1504.54 --> 1507.52]  He is clearly poised to steal it.
+[1508.90 --> 1509.34]  What?
+[1509.54 --> 1510.24]  I don't get it.
+[1510.36 --> 1511.54]  As for the third piece of evidence...
+[1511.54 --> 1512.54]  Um...
+[1512.54 --> 1514.54]  Okay.
+[1518.70 --> 1519.02]  Okay.
+[1519.22 --> 1522.02]  Now this, again, highly circumstantial.
+[1522.50 --> 1524.34]  This is apparently a post from...
+[1524.34 --> 1526.00]  A post from our forum?
+[1526.00 --> 1528.70]  Our own users turning on me.
+[1528.70 --> 1535.56]  This is from the CES WAN show to the part where Linus tells Austin they have a mutual acquaintance
+[1535.56 --> 1541.78]  who offered Linus double sticker price to steal him or her an Acer Predator 21X.
+[1541.78 --> 1549.14]  So, clearly, the offer was to steal a Predator 21X, which didn't go missing.
+[1549.34 --> 1550.36]  Not the right one, bro.
+[1550.38 --> 1550.60]  Yeah.
+[1551.02 --> 1551.74]  So...
+[1551.74 --> 1552.04]  Okay.
+[1552.86 --> 1555.74]  I appreciate the evidence stuff and you trying to, like, dodge out of it.
+[1555.78 --> 1557.16]  Obviously, Linus didn't steal it.
+[1557.48 --> 1558.04]  That's fine.
+[1558.10 --> 1558.66]  Everyone's joking.
+[1558.74 --> 1559.14]  It's cool.
+[1559.54 --> 1561.82]  How the freaking hell...
+[1561.82 --> 1563.52]  Like, I'm sorry, Razor, that you've lost your thing.
+[1563.62 --> 1563.78]  Yeah.
+[1563.86 --> 1565.40]  How did you do that?
+[1565.70 --> 1566.84]  So, I asked.
+[1567.50 --> 1567.72]  Yeah.
+[1567.82 --> 1570.52]  I emailed my PR guy there.
+[1570.82 --> 1573.82]  I'm like, so is this a publicity stunt?
+[1574.02 --> 1574.40]  Yeah.
+[1574.52 --> 1576.00]  Because it really feels like it.
+[1576.10 --> 1577.02]  And he's like, no.
+[1578.02 --> 1578.34]  So...
+[1578.34 --> 1578.96]  But how?
+[1579.06 --> 1579.56]  Hold on.
+[1579.68 --> 1580.02]  Hold on.
+[1580.02 --> 1580.22]  Okay.
+[1580.76 --> 1582.14]  So, I'll say this.
+[1583.06 --> 1588.44]  Like, my Razor Contact is a straight shooter.
+[1588.68 --> 1588.96]  Yeah.
+[1589.52 --> 1590.54]  I trust him.
+[1590.74 --> 1591.00]  Yeah.
+[1591.00 --> 1592.60]  He's a good guy.
+[1593.40 --> 1596.56]  He says, nah, they were legitimately taken.
+[1597.18 --> 1600.94]  One of the back rooms was unlocked during the last 30 minutes of the show.
+[1601.56 --> 1607.62]  So, the thing about the back rooms is that if you've ever been to, like, in the back of
+[1607.62 --> 1610.94]  a CES booth before, I saw...
+[1610.94 --> 1614.90]  Did you see the inside of the parrot control room that one year when they were doing the
+[1614.90 --> 1615.90]  bebop dancing thing?
+[1616.40 --> 1617.50]  It was incredible.
+[1617.50 --> 1622.18]  It was like an entire additional parrot booth full of, like, drones and drone repair stuff
+[1622.18 --> 1627.86]  and, like, all the sensors and crap that were running that automatic dance thing.
+[1627.96 --> 1628.18]  Anyway.
+[1628.18 --> 1631.12]  So, there can be a lot of, like, backroom stuff.
+[1631.24 --> 1634.78]  Typically, those are accessible through a panel that opens in the back of the booth.
+[1635.24 --> 1639.14]  So, all the Razor staff could have been running around doing things.
+[1639.14 --> 1643.60]  Especially on the last day of the show, you tend to be a little bit more short-staffed because
+[1643.60 --> 1648.96]  some people have flown out early or gotten tired or gotten sick by that point in the show.
+[1649.30 --> 1650.72]  So, take your prototypes home.
+[1650.72 --> 1654.28]  Not that easy to transport.
+[1654.94 --> 1655.72]  They're very fragile.
+[1656.08 --> 1657.24]  They wouldn't even let me pick it up.
+[1657.28 --> 1659.66]  Yeah, but so the people leaving early should take them...
+[1659.66 --> 1664.42]  But you still want them there in case you have to show them to, like, a partner or something.
+[1664.68 --> 1665.28]  I mean, most...
+[1665.28 --> 1666.22]  They probably didn't have meetings.
+[1666.40 --> 1667.12]  So, okay.
+[1667.40 --> 1668.16]  I'm saying this.
+[1668.26 --> 1668.88]  You're not wrong.
+[1669.64 --> 1670.46]  But I also get it.
+[1670.46 --> 1670.48]  It's insanity.
+[1670.58 --> 1671.06]  I...
+[1671.06 --> 1673.88]  I don't know if I get it.
+[1673.88 --> 1676.56]  I can comprehend what they're saying.
+[1676.70 --> 1677.82]  And I think I'm leaving it there.
+[1678.00 --> 1679.20]  That's how insane this is.
+[1679.46 --> 1682.36]  I've had, like, terrible things at shows.
+[1682.46 --> 1684.22]  Have security sensors on them.
+[1684.48 --> 1688.28]  Whether it's, like, if it goes too far away from the booth, it starts beeping.
+[1688.72 --> 1689.60]  I've had that.
+[1690.08 --> 1692.24]  Not that hard to do, to be honest.
+[1692.36 --> 1692.68]  Okay, fair enough.
+[1692.68 --> 1694.60]  I've had, like, where it's on a cable.
+[1694.82 --> 1697.68]  I've had where there's a little key thing.
+[1697.82 --> 1698.16]  I don't remember.
+[1698.42 --> 1700.60]  Kensington lock, which that thing probably doesn't have.
+[1700.72 --> 1701.36]  But whatever.
+[1701.36 --> 1702.50]  Yeah, it would, I guess.
+[1702.50 --> 1704.98]  Because it's just a Blade Pro with a...
+[1704.98 --> 1705.22]  Does this?
+[1705.30 --> 1706.52]  This doesn't have a Kensington lock.
+[1706.78 --> 1707.24]  Doesn't it?
+[1707.44 --> 1708.36]  Do all the...
+[1708.36 --> 1708.90]  Does mine?
+[1709.14 --> 1709.42]  Oh.
+[1709.90 --> 1711.90]  I don't think razor blades have Kensington.
+[1711.98 --> 1712.56]  Oh, yeah, yeah.
+[1712.66 --> 1713.16]  Yeah, mine does.
+[1713.50 --> 1714.18]  Oh, mine does.
+[1714.42 --> 1715.52]  So, I guess the Pro does.
+[1715.52 --> 1717.08]  So, the Stealth doesn't have one?
+[1717.28 --> 1718.04]  No, I don't think so.
+[1720.68 --> 1721.08]  Huh.
+[1721.94 --> 1722.54]  That's funny.
+[1722.60 --> 1724.62]  Because it's, like, the most stealable one.
+[1724.84 --> 1725.04]  Yeah.
+[1725.38 --> 1726.14]  No Kensington lock.
+[1726.58 --> 1726.86]  Anyways.
+[1728.24 --> 1729.38]  There's Kensington locks.
+[1729.38 --> 1731.72]  There's security tags.
+[1731.72 --> 1733.50]  There's distance, whatever.
+[1733.70 --> 1734.22]  Fun fact.
+[1734.54 --> 1745.34]  LG had the security sticker on a still plastic wrapped laptop for the LG Gram.
+[1745.54 --> 1748.82]  I was tempted to take it off and just see if it would go off.
+[1749.46 --> 1750.86]  I decided not to.
+[1750.94 --> 1751.66]  I decided against it.
+[1751.68 --> 1753.04]  I'd already been yelled at at Sony.
+[1753.04 --> 1758.08]  People are accusing me of faking, like, me getting yelled at there.
+[1758.54 --> 1759.90]  But, no.
+[1760.14 --> 1765.04]  Like, six people were, like, running towards me, telling me to get off the stage.
+[1765.10 --> 1767.86]  Because I legitimately did have permission.
+[1767.86 --> 1772.34]  Just like I do normally have permission to do the outlandish stuff that I do.
+[1772.54 --> 1778.22]  I had permission from one guy who didn't communicate to everyone else that I was going to be jumping up on the stage.
+[1778.24 --> 1783.38]  Because they were hardcore about people not going up there and looking at Cletus.
+[1783.38 --> 1790.06]  Which is the big, like, modular display thing.
+[1790.24 --> 1793.94]  Because if you touch Sony's Cletus, it could be damaged.
+[1796.90 --> 1803.24]  Oh, I did not see that.
+[1803.38 --> 1808.26]  In all seriousness, though, the Cletus display is very fragile.
+[1808.26 --> 1811.56]  So you don't want to rub it too hard.
+[1812.24 --> 1813.38]  Just the right amount.
+[1813.60 --> 1814.50]  Just the right amount.
+[1816.34 --> 1817.84]  You might misalign it.
+[1820.34 --> 1821.44]  We lost it there.
+[1821.92 --> 1822.58]  It's cool.
+[1822.84 --> 1823.52]  Just forget it.
+[1823.78 --> 1825.26]  Everybody just don't worry about it.
+[1825.42 --> 1825.54]  Yeah.
+[1826.38 --> 1830.06]  You know what we do have to worry about is our sponsors for today.
+[1830.42 --> 1830.68]  Yay.
+[1831.02 --> 1832.92]  This WAN show is brought to you by...
+[1832.92 --> 1833.74]  Ooh, I fix it.
+[1833.82 --> 1834.86]  I fix it.
+[1834.86 --> 1836.90]  But they saved my...
+[1836.90 --> 1838.52]  Well, actually, Brandon specifically...
+[1838.52 --> 1840.36]  A huge unintentional sponsor of CES.
+[1840.38 --> 1840.62]  Yeah.
+[1840.82 --> 1842.72]  Saved my bacon at the show.
+[1842.88 --> 1844.10]  I thought about it.
+[1844.56 --> 1847.74]  I had my iFixit kit in my backpack.
+[1848.52 --> 1850.04]  And I was like, should I take it?
+[1850.12 --> 1850.94]  Should I not take it?
+[1851.00 --> 1856.60]  Because every other year, I've, like, brought tools and then not ended up using them.
+[1857.62 --> 1859.44]  Then you used it so much this year.
+[1859.82 --> 1862.04]  So Brandon had it with him.
+[1862.04 --> 1863.24]  So I got to Acer.
+[1863.32 --> 1864.50]  It was the first booth I did.
+[1865.20 --> 1867.72]  And immediately, I...
+[1867.72 --> 1868.66]  There were a couple things.
+[1868.92 --> 1872.24]  Immediately, I saw the Predator 21X and I had to open it.
+[1872.52 --> 1874.72]  I was like, I need to see the inside.
+[1874.90 --> 1876.40]  It ended up being kind of anticlimactic.
+[1876.50 --> 1879.36]  When I get my unit, I'm going to have to spend some real time.
+[1879.44 --> 1881.16]  Like, it's going to take me a couple hours to tear it down.
+[1881.30 --> 1881.46]  Yeah.
+[1881.50 --> 1884.48]  Because they have, like, a mid plate and stuff to really get at the hardware.
+[1884.84 --> 1885.08]  Okay, yeah.
+[1885.72 --> 1887.40]  But I was like, immediately, I have to open it.
+[1887.50 --> 1889.48]  And I was like, I can't believe I left that at home.
+[1889.52 --> 1890.54]  And Brandon's like, oh, I've got mine.
+[1891.06 --> 1892.78]  And I'm like, give it to me.
+[1892.78 --> 1893.88]  And he's like, oh, it's back in the hotel.
+[1893.88 --> 1895.30]  I'm like, Colton, go get it.
+[1895.96 --> 1897.30]  So Colton went and got it.
+[1897.60 --> 1900.50]  And then the other thing was also, again, in the Acer booth.
+[1901.22 --> 1907.10]  They weren't sure about the drive options in one of the laptops.
+[1907.18 --> 1908.64]  Remember, these are engineering sample laptops.
+[1908.82 --> 1910.52]  Like, even some of the hardware wasn't final.
+[1910.64 --> 1913.42]  There was one with a TN panel and the spec sheet said IPS.
+[1913.66 --> 1914.52]  And I was like, what's going on?
+[1914.52 --> 1916.36]  And they're like, oh, I don't know.
+[1916.40 --> 1917.00]  We'll find out.
+[1917.10 --> 1918.16]  So they had to call HQ.
+[1918.50 --> 1922.88]  And it turns out that on early engineering samples, they just throw cheap OTNs in them.
+[1923.08 --> 1923.90]  Sort of makes sense.
+[1923.92 --> 1924.68]  To save some cost.
+[1924.76 --> 1927.34]  And I was like, oh, you probably shouldn't have that at a trade show.
+[1927.42 --> 1927.82]  But sure.
+[1929.04 --> 1929.80]  Anyway, sorry.
+[1929.94 --> 1930.42]  iFixit.
+[1930.48 --> 1930.64]  Right.
+[1930.94 --> 1933.24]  They make great tools for, oh, yeah.
+[1933.24 --> 1935.66]  They've got guides on their website for repairing your electronics.
+[1935.66 --> 1936.32]  I met the guy.
+[1936.46 --> 1937.16]  And upgrading them.
+[1937.42 --> 1937.64]  What?
+[1937.86 --> 1938.16]  Yeah.
+[1938.60 --> 1938.96]  What guy?
+[1939.04 --> 1939.76]  Super randomly.
+[1940.38 --> 1940.66]  What?
+[1940.82 --> 1941.00]  Who?
+[1941.30 --> 1942.50]  Like, the iFixit guy.
+[1942.80 --> 1943.62]  I can't remember his name right now.
+[1944.66 --> 1945.70]  Like, the guy.
+[1945.78 --> 1946.64]  Hopefully he's not watching.
+[1946.94 --> 1947.78]  CEO guy.
+[1947.84 --> 1948.32]  Oh, really?
+[1948.44 --> 1948.62]  Yeah.
+[1949.30 --> 1950.34]  Oh, I thought you meant, like, our rep.
+[1950.36 --> 1951.02]  He's super cool.
+[1951.20 --> 1952.00]  Met him at HP.
+[1952.30 --> 1952.58]  Oh.
+[1952.78 --> 1956.04]  He grilled them with me, which was actually hilariously awesome.
+[1956.78 --> 1958.00]  We were both talking about the Omen.
+[1958.40 --> 1963.34]  And I brought up about how he gave the Microsoft Surface Studio a 5 out of 10 repairability score.
+[1963.34 --> 1963.44]  Yeah.
+[1963.56 --> 1965.62]  And how that was, like, kind of hilarious and true.
+[1965.94 --> 1967.66]  And we talked about that for a second.
+[1967.72 --> 1967.90]  Yeah.
+[1967.90 --> 1972.16]  And then he, like, laughed at their case, which was great.
+[1972.22 --> 1972.50]  No!
+[1972.78 --> 1974.02]  Like, right in front of them.
+[1974.24 --> 1974.88]  No filter.
+[1975.02 --> 1976.38]  I was like, you are so cool.
+[1978.26 --> 1981.90]  And I've been, like, trying to go back and forth with this HP guy for a while.
+[1981.98 --> 1985.40]  Like, man, like, why is your I.O. on your motherboard so lacking?
+[1985.66 --> 1986.38]  And, like, all this kind of stuff.
+[1986.42 --> 1987.60]  Because they have their own custom motherboard.
+[1987.78 --> 1989.80]  And, like, he's like, oh, what else do you want?
+[1989.86 --> 1991.98]  And then I was like, any audio options?
+[1991.98 --> 1992.92]  And I don't know.
+[1993.02 --> 1994.10]  We were going back and forth a little bit.
+[1994.10 --> 2000.62]  And then iFixit guy comes up and just, like, doesn't even wait for the HP guy to, like, possibly come back with anything.
+[2000.70 --> 2002.92]  And it's just like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
+[2003.04 --> 2003.42]  All right.
+[2003.48 --> 2004.62]  Like, bye.
+[2005.42 --> 2006.98]  It was really cool.
+[2007.42 --> 2007.82]  Terrible.
+[2008.04 --> 2008.34]  Savage.
+[2008.34 --> 2009.26]  It was awesome.
+[2009.68 --> 2010.42]  That was cool.
+[2010.64 --> 2022.40]  Anyway, so iFixit is all about repairing and upgrading your electronics yourself with their step-by-step guides and their huge inventory of replacement parts and tools with lifetime warranties for the tools, not the replacement parts.
+[2023.22 --> 2029.34]  So today we're talking about their latest and greatest all-new ProTech toolkit, which you've seen featured...
+[2029.34 --> 2036.60]  on the WAN show and on normal Linus Tech Tips content in the past, including, like, Scrappy Art Wars and other big things.
+[2036.60 --> 2041.98]  Did I ever tell you about the time that I specifically said in a video that I was just using an iFixit kit and it wasn't sponsored by iFixit?
+[2042.24 --> 2046.36]  Then the video production schedule got shifted and it ended up being sponsored by iFixit.
+[2047.28 --> 2048.46]  Was that left in the video?
+[2048.62 --> 2048.82]  Yeah.
+[2049.08 --> 2049.98]  Oh, that's awkward.
+[2050.12 --> 2050.30]  Yeah.
+[2050.30 --> 2066.02]  Anyway, it has a bunch of prying tools, suction cups, poking tools, cutting tools, plying tools, anti-static tools, and a whack ton of screwdrivers and bits that have been enough for me to assemble or disassemble pretty much anything.
+[2066.82 --> 2068.14]  And I'm going to do this again.
+[2068.22 --> 2077.82]  I've done this before and I feel kind of terrible about it, but I'm going to criticize or offer constructive criticism about the product during a sponsor spot for the product.
+[2077.82 --> 2085.72]  The one thing that gets me sometimes is deeper holes.
+[2086.40 --> 2095.56]  You'll find them in the bottoms of laptops sometimes where the plastic hole is really deep until you can get to the screw.
+[2096.04 --> 2099.50]  So there is a workaround and this saved me on the Predator.
+[2099.98 --> 2100.72]  Was it the Predator?
+[2101.26 --> 2101.54]  Whatever.
+[2101.66 --> 2103.80]  One of the laptops, I almost didn't get open.
+[2103.80 --> 2110.90]  So there's a workaround where you use one of the sockets and then you put the bit into the socket.
+[2111.28 --> 2118.56]  But it would be nice to have like a longer shaft, like a super slim longer shaft extension type thing.
+[2119.46 --> 2121.38]  That would be even better.
+[2121.78 --> 2127.02]  But as it is, I've only very rarely been defeated when I have an iFixit kit in my hands.
+[2127.10 --> 2129.04]  Anyway, what are we talking about again?
+[2129.48 --> 2132.32]  The longer shaft that you would like to have.
+[2132.32 --> 2132.84]  Wow.
+[2133.48 --> 2147.34]  Okay, so grab an all new ProTech toolkit or their less expensive Essentials electronic toolkit by heading over to iFixit.com slash Linus and use offer code WANSHOW to save five bucks on your purchase of $10 or more.
+[2147.52 --> 2148.78]  Highly recommended iFixit.
+[2148.88 --> 2149.54]  We love their stuff.
+[2149.62 --> 2150.04]  We really do.
+[2150.48 --> 2151.66]  Your shaft is plenty long.
+[2151.66 --> 2156.44]  I think that you can work on all of those laptops completely fine.
+[2159.22 --> 2160.04]  You've got to be careful.
+[2160.16 --> 2160.84]  I might work on you.
+[2161.80 --> 2162.78]  That's why I know it's plenty.
+[2162.94 --> 2164.30]  Anyways, fresh books.
+[2166.02 --> 2166.92]  Fresh books.
+[2166.92 --> 2174.56]  Okay, so if you're a freelancer, not that kind of freelancer.
+[2174.68 --> 2176.08]  Not that kind of freelancer.
+[2176.74 --> 2180.52]  I'm pretty sure most of them work sort of under the table.
+[2180.78 --> 2181.00]  Cash deals?
+[2181.62 --> 2182.76]  Cash deals.
+[2182.88 --> 2184.38]  I'm pretty sure most clients don't want like a...
+[2184.38 --> 2186.36]  I don't think you can accept roses on FreshBooks.
+[2187.82 --> 2188.34]  Wow.
+[2189.52 --> 2190.08]  Wow.
+[2190.16 --> 2192.36]  Fresh books is totally dropping us.
+[2192.56 --> 2193.04]  Restarting.
+[2193.04 --> 2196.44]  Okay, so note for Colton.
+[2197.16 --> 2198.92]  When you're linking the sponsor...
+[2198.92 --> 2200.34]  Make the timestamp a little later.
+[2200.34 --> 2203.26]  Yeah, leave the timestamp a little later for the FreshBooks spot.
+[2203.28 --> 2205.94]  Should we do like one normal topic here to like give some extra buffer?
+[2205.94 --> 2206.88]  No, we'll just pretend.
+[2207.30 --> 2207.76]  So hold on.
+[2207.78 --> 2208.30]  Give me one second.
+[2210.06 --> 2216.64]  So that's why I was telling those guys that I really just think peaches make absolutely no sense in this context.
+[2216.74 --> 2217.78]  It doesn't work with the case.
+[2217.96 --> 2218.28]  I know.
+[2218.44 --> 2218.72]  I know.
+[2218.84 --> 2220.46]  Like why peach case?
+[2220.64 --> 2220.78]  Yeah.
+[2220.78 --> 2224.70]  Anyway, we should start up one of our sponsor spots here.
+[2224.90 --> 2225.42]  FreshBooks.
+[2225.54 --> 2228.50]  So FreshBooks is the easy to use invoicing...
+[2228.50 --> 2233.32]  That helps small businesses look professional and get paid faster.
+[2233.42 --> 2237.08]  You can try FreshBooks completely free for 30 days at freshbooks.com slash WAN.
+[2237.48 --> 2239.40]  And make sure you type WAN in the how do you hear about a section.
+[2239.48 --> 2240.22]  With no timestamps.
+[2240.34 --> 2241.70]  Would you maybe do that?
+[2241.70 --> 2251.56]  So FreshBooks lets you run a small computer repair business or accounting or John apparently needs Luke for something in the closet over there.
+[2251.98 --> 2255.80]  And if you have any questions, you can reach out to their support staff.
+[2255.92 --> 2256.04]  Right.
+[2256.14 --> 2256.30]  Okay.
+[2256.38 --> 2259.34]  So FreshBooks lets you create your invoices, send them.
+[2259.42 --> 2260.32]  You can track your hours.
+[2260.42 --> 2261.54]  You can track your expenses.
+[2261.54 --> 2267.74]  You can see when people have seen your invoices, which takes the guessing games out of that whole rigmarole.
+[2268.22 --> 2271.68]  And if you have any questions, you can reach out to their support staff where you'll speak to a real human.
+[2271.82 --> 2272.44]  No phone treat.
+[2272.54 --> 2273.24]  No escalations.
+[2273.58 --> 2274.52]  Nothing like that.
+[2274.60 --> 2276.12]  And they just got a mobile card reader.
+[2276.20 --> 2281.52]  So check them out at freshbooks.com slash WAN and try out a free trial today.
+[2283.72 --> 2284.16]  Wow.
+[2284.16 --> 2286.90]  All righty then.
+[2287.50 --> 2289.46]  So I'm by myself now, which is fine.
+[2289.72 --> 2290.82]  Colton, everything's okay.
+[2291.16 --> 2292.90]  Everything is okay.
+[2294.14 --> 2295.14]  Everything is fine.
+[2295.68 --> 2296.80]  Everything is awesome.
+[2297.80 --> 2301.44]  Norway becomes the first country to kill FM radio.
+[2301.58 --> 2303.48]  This was posted by Dat Speed on the forum.
+[2303.74 --> 2303.98]  Wow.
+[2304.16 --> 2305.36]  That poor Colton.
+[2305.46 --> 2306.76]  He didn't even get to say anything.
+[2308.86 --> 2310.06]  Just gone.
+[2311.26 --> 2313.90]  Discover where Trump's America meets the world.
+[2313.90 --> 2314.82]  What is this?
+[2314.94 --> 2319.20]  This is an ad for subscribing to the Washington Post, which I definitely won't be doing.
+[2319.70 --> 2320.14]  Okay.
+[2320.30 --> 2321.46]  What am I looking at?
+[2321.48 --> 2322.30]  Please sign in.
+[2322.48 --> 2323.66]  I don't think you can read it.
+[2327.14 --> 2329.98]  I don't think you can read it.
+[2331.28 --> 2331.76]  Okay.
+[2332.40 --> 2333.90]  Well, whatever.
+[2334.24 --> 2334.76]  Get it right.
+[2334.76 --> 2336.62]  That article was from the Washington Post.
+[2337.12 --> 2339.92]  Now it's from engadget.com.
+[2339.92 --> 2345.08]  It's like why this model doesn't work online.
+[2346.04 --> 2347.00]  In a nutshell.
+[2347.76 --> 2348.02]  Ooh.
+[2349.60 --> 2351.90]  Norway killing FM radio.
+[2352.08 --> 2359.94]  Only a quarter of the cars on the road are ready for the switch, which is more than I would have thought because the switch was just announced.
+[2359.94 --> 2360.62]  Yeah.
+[2363.12 --> 2363.56]  Yeah.
+[2363.70 --> 2364.08]  Literally.
+[2364.28 --> 2364.54]  Get it?
+[2364.80 --> 2364.96]  Yeah.
+[2365.96 --> 2374.40]  So Norway has started switching off FM transmitters as of January 11th, 2017, becoming the first in the world to dump the 80-year-old standard.
+[2374.54 --> 2376.96]  They're switching over to digital audio broadcasting.
+[2376.96 --> 2383.62]  This will give citizens more stations, better coverage, program time shifting, which is actually kind of cool.
+[2383.74 --> 2385.10]  So that's like VOD, but odd.
+[2385.40 --> 2387.68]  Just in case you didn't know, the acronym for that is DAB.
+[2389.04 --> 2390.38]  Digital audio broadcasting?
+[2391.58 --> 2392.10]  DAB.
+[2393.84 --> 2394.48]  I'm not even going to.
+[2395.16 --> 2395.48]  Yeah.
+[2395.78 --> 2397.10]  That's all as far as I go.
+[2397.54 --> 2401.94]  The majority of people are against the transition.
+[2402.58 --> 2404.56]  We're simply not ready for this year.
+[2404.56 --> 2405.00]  Someone.
+[2406.82 --> 2407.98]  Like actually, yeah.
+[2408.30 --> 2410.74]  Looking at numbers, they actually aren't.
+[2410.90 --> 2416.48]  It reportedly cost between 120 to 230 US dollars for a DAB car radio adapter.
+[2418.10 --> 2420.90]  DAB has been running alongside FM in Norway since 90.
+[2420.92 --> 2422.10]  I've never even heard.
+[2423.14 --> 2424.02]  Digital audio broadcasting?
+[2424.12 --> 2424.30]  Yeah.
+[2424.32 --> 2424.98]  Is this just serious?
+[2425.98 --> 2426.90]  I don't think so.
+[2426.94 --> 2427.60]  Or like, no.
+[2427.90 --> 2428.10]  Yeah.
+[2428.20 --> 2428.56]  No.
+[2429.44 --> 2431.18]  Honestly, I've never even heard of it.
+[2431.28 --> 2431.66]  I'm sorry.
+[2431.66 --> 2435.50]  I'm pretty sure we've talked about it on Wancho, but like a ridiculously long time ago.
+[2436.08 --> 2436.60]  Like, okay.
+[2436.68 --> 2440.52]  In my real life, outside of like a news article that I read somewhere?
+[2440.66 --> 2441.70]  Well, Canada doesn't.
+[2442.56 --> 2442.92]  Okay.
+[2443.10 --> 2443.16]  So that's why.
+[2443.16 --> 2444.78]  We're not going to do that in a long time.
+[2444.90 --> 2445.22]  Okay.
+[2445.26 --> 2447.08]  I can pretty much guarantee you that's going to be quite a while.
+[2447.48 --> 2449.90]  FM's like still pretty legit, right?
+[2450.00 --> 2451.18]  Seems mostly fine.
+[2451.64 --> 2452.16]  It works for me.
+[2452.16 --> 2452.44]  There are.
+[2452.54 --> 2452.70]  Okay.
+[2452.78 --> 2453.04]  There are.
+[2453.10 --> 2453.88]  I don't remember what they are.
+[2453.88 --> 2454.80]  Am I becoming an old person?
+[2454.80 --> 2455.12]  I've read.
+[2456.30 --> 2456.92]  Not quite.
+[2458.36 --> 2459.56]  I'm stressing out right now.
+[2459.92 --> 2460.36]  You're fine.
+[2460.36 --> 2461.34]  Don't worry about it.
+[2463.02 --> 2463.34]  It's.
+[2464.22 --> 2464.58]  Ugh.
+[2466.32 --> 2466.64]  I only.
+[2466.64 --> 2467.06]  It's fine.
+[2467.24 --> 2467.90]  There's benefits.
+[2468.12 --> 2471.36]  It's been a long time, so I don't want to say what they are because I'm probably going
+[2471.36 --> 2472.60]  to get 90% of it wrong.
+[2472.74 --> 2476.20]  But there are benefits to dab, whatever.
+[2476.38 --> 2476.60]  Yeah.
+[2476.60 --> 2477.22]  There's a lot of broadcasting.
+[2477.22 --> 2477.80]  Time shift is cool.
+[2478.02 --> 2480.24]  Like there's some cool stuff.
+[2480.42 --> 2484.36]  But then if I was just going to like listen to podcasts, then like.
+[2485.16 --> 2486.16]  I don't think it's that.
+[2486.16 --> 2492.04]  Every radio show I listen to has a podcast version that I could use as a, as an audio
+[2492.04 --> 2494.20]  on demand, like time shift thing anyway.
+[2494.38 --> 2495.38]  I think it's different.
+[2500.76 --> 2502.46]  Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
+[2502.64 --> 2504.40]  Across Europe and Asia Pacific.
+[2504.52 --> 2507.22]  Well, that explains why I haven't really encountered it much.
+[2507.40 --> 2507.66]  Yeah.
+[2507.66 --> 2511.54]  I'm sure everyone in Twitch is just telling me I'm a complete idiot, but they're saying
+[2511.54 --> 2512.82]  D-A-B, not dab.
+[2513.48 --> 2513.86]  Whatever.
+[2515.08 --> 2515.44]  Yeah.
+[2515.52 --> 2515.92]  Who cares?
+[2516.08 --> 2516.70]  That was a joke.
+[2516.70 --> 2517.04]  Learn to love it.
+[2517.16 --> 2517.88]  Learn to love it.
+[2517.88 --> 2518.02]  It was a joke.
+[2518.26 --> 2520.06]  Learn to love it because it's not going away.
+[2520.18 --> 2522.18]  We're not the only ones that are going to make that joke either.
+[2524.02 --> 2524.42]  Okay.
+[2524.62 --> 2526.50]  The signals are so bad in whatever.
+[2528.58 --> 2532.00]  Dab will suck because FMU can still hear with a bad signal.
+[2532.14 --> 2533.00]  Dab is all or nothing.
+[2533.34 --> 2533.54]  Yeah.
+[2533.64 --> 2533.96]  Okay.
+[2534.02 --> 2534.84]  It sounds about right.
+[2534.84 --> 2536.16]  That sounds terrible.
+[2536.16 --> 2538.16]  Yeah.
+[2538.88 --> 2540.84]  I think I sort of get it.
+[2541.58 --> 2546.16]  The Dab standard was initiated as a European research product in the 1960s.
+[2547.08 --> 2551.60]  The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation launched the first Dab channel in the world.
+[2551.78 --> 2553.24]  So they're trying to do that again.
+[2553.48 --> 2553.80]  Okay.
+[2554.26 --> 2554.70]  Cool.
+[2555.40 --> 2556.64]  Well, good luck with that.
+[2557.88 --> 2561.52]  I really do feel like an old person though because I was about to say, like it was halfway
+[2561.52 --> 2566.60]  out of my mouth to say, whenever I turn on the radio, I just want to hear whatever's
+[2566.60 --> 2567.46]  on there right now.
+[2567.54 --> 2572.46]  Like I have no, I have no use for fiddling around with it, but I sound like my parents
+[2572.46 --> 2574.54]  talking about like TiVo.
+[2574.68 --> 2574.86]  Okay.
+[2574.86 --> 2575.80]  But there's both.
+[2575.80 --> 2578.82]  Because you'll also listen to other stuff like through your phone and stuff.
+[2579.14 --> 2581.08]  And I will do Bluetooth through my phone.
+[2581.52 --> 2581.62]  Yeah.
+[2581.62 --> 2584.48]  Or if I'm like, oh, that's screwed up or it's paused or whatever.
+[2584.54 --> 2585.44]  I don't feel like pulling it out.
+[2585.54 --> 2585.86]  Whatever.
+[2586.58 --> 2587.40]  FM on.
+[2587.48 --> 2590.36]  And it goes on to one of the two radio stations that I listen to and I'm like, cool.
+[2590.62 --> 2591.38]  I have something.
+[2591.50 --> 2592.58]  That's all I really care about for now.
+[2592.82 --> 2593.90]  I'll fix it later.
+[2594.02 --> 2594.26]  Right.
+[2594.26 --> 2597.14]  Or if I'm going on like a long drive, I'll make sure it's all good.
+[2597.22 --> 2598.28]  My podcast, whatever.
+[2598.50 --> 2598.60]  Right.
+[2599.06 --> 2601.28]  Book from Bill Nye, whatever I'm currently listening to.
+[2602.40 --> 2605.16]  I don't think we've had Audible book, Audible as a sponsor for a while.
+[2605.16 --> 2605.82]  Yeah, it's been a while.
+[2605.94 --> 2607.20]  But I listened to books through there.
+[2608.68 --> 2609.24]  All right.
+[2609.44 --> 2612.36]  So in other news, the Nokia 6.
+[2612.60 --> 2615.40]  Nokia's first Android smartphone is official.
+[2615.60 --> 2619.16]  And it is totally different from every other Android smartphone.
+[2620.16 --> 2621.30]  Smartphone totally different.
+[2621.90 --> 2623.08]  4 gigs of RAM.
+[2623.58 --> 2624.16]  Snapdragon 430.
+[2625.58 --> 2626.86]  64 gigs of storage.
+[2626.96 --> 2627.56]  Micro SD.
+[2627.86 --> 2630.20]  16 megapixel main camera, which means nothing, by the way.
+[2630.56 --> 2631.86]  3,000 milliamp hour battery.
+[2632.06 --> 2633.22]  5.5 inch display.
+[2633.46 --> 2634.46]  1080p resolution.
+[2634.46 --> 2635.80]  Android Nougat OS.
+[2636.12 --> 2636.88]  245 bucks.
+[2637.34 --> 2638.16]  Launching in China.
+[2639.28 --> 2641.54]  It will go on sale in early 2017.
+[2642.10 --> 2644.84]  Available exclusively through retailerjd.com.
+[2644.90 --> 2645.50]  See, that's different.
+[2645.56 --> 2646.34]  The price is good.
+[2646.82 --> 2647.16]  Yes.
+[2647.38 --> 2650.02]  The retail exclusivity is different.
+[2650.46 --> 2651.18]  Not good.
+[2651.90 --> 2652.34]  At all.
+[2653.62 --> 2654.86]  Well, do you really want one?
+[2655.20 --> 2655.50]  No.
+[2655.66 --> 2657.94]  So even if it's not good, it's not bad.
+[2658.20 --> 2658.92]  It's just nothing.
+[2658.92 --> 2660.50]  Well, it's bad for people that do want one.
+[2660.92 --> 2661.62]  Who would want one?
+[2661.62 --> 2662.86]  I don't know.
+[2663.50 --> 2666.54]  It represents the modern design ethics of a smartphone.
+[2666.54 --> 2668.00]  Yes, except for ashes.
+[2671.84 --> 2672.58]  Good call.
+[2673.62 --> 2674.10]  Okay.
+[2674.46 --> 2674.74]  Well.
+[2674.96 --> 2675.70]  Thanks, John.
+[2675.70 --> 2680.34]  In other news, HDMI 2.1 was announced at CES.
+[2680.54 --> 2683.38]  So the original post here is actually from AVS forum.
+[2683.92 --> 2684.16]  Yeah.
+[2684.28 --> 2687.88]  So it includes, this is like a very significant upgrade.
+[2688.04 --> 2693.44]  So HDMI 2.0, which took long enough to get adopted, went from 10.2 to 18 gigabit per second.
+[2693.44 --> 2695.30]  So that gives us 4K 60 hertz.
+[2696.34 --> 2702.44]  HDMI 2.1 looks to be taking on DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 head on.
+[2703.74 --> 2705.64]  48 gigabit per second.
+[2705.80 --> 2712.20]  So HDMI 2.1 is designed to handle 8K resolution at up to 60 FPS.
+[2712.96 --> 2718.82]  4K at 120 FPS, although that math doesn't quite work out, with support for dynamic HDR metadata.
+[2718.82 --> 2722.76]  So dynamic HDR is different from static HDR, which is what we have today.
+[2722.98 --> 2734.82]  The final spec to be announced in Q2 of 2017, at which point all of your fancy new HDR TV in 4K whatever can just get wrecked.
+[2734.82 --> 2742.70]  This is great, because no matter how cool DisplayPort and stuff is, HDMI sort of wins.
+[2743.76 --> 2744.62]  This is fun.
+[2744.70 --> 2747.78]  The original article here is from LiveScience or LiveScience.com.
+[2747.78 --> 2748.04]  Oh, yeah.
+[2748.08 --> 2748.84]  This is super cool.
+[2749.02 --> 2753.82]  The U.S. Army wants biodegradable bullets that sprout plants.
+[2754.96 --> 2757.44]  Make love at the same time as war.
+[2759.84 --> 2761.54]  It's all like hippie and whatnot, right?
+[2761.76 --> 2763.82]  You know, you've got to plant some plants.
+[2763.82 --> 2764.52]  Plant some plants.
+[2764.60 --> 2765.08]  I think it's cool.
+[2765.14 --> 2765.80]  Kill some people.
+[2766.50 --> 2768.24]  So here's what I...
+[2768.24 --> 2771.36]  Okay.
+[2772.04 --> 2774.18]  So currently, here's the explanation.
+[2774.74 --> 2779.12]  Currently, the U.S. Army manufactures and consumes hundreds of thousands of training rounds.
+[2779.28 --> 2781.28]  Oh, training rounds.
+[2781.64 --> 2787.68]  So they don't intend to actually plant plants in the countries that they are stomping on.
+[2787.80 --> 2787.96]  Yeah.
+[2788.96 --> 2790.08]  Now it makes more sense.
+[2790.10 --> 2790.40]  Just back home.
+[2790.40 --> 2796.76]  These rounds are fired at proving grounds and training ranges in the United States and around the world.
+[2797.08 --> 2801.58]  The materials in the current training rounds need hundreds of years or more to biodegrade.
+[2801.58 --> 2818.54]  So the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, SCURL, has demonstrated bioengineered seeds that can be embedded into the biodegradable composites and that will not germinate until they have been in the ground for several months.
+[2818.54 --> 2826.72]  So if you just, like, change your targeting range every several months, then it'll turn into a patch of trees, I guess.
+[2827.72 --> 2829.18]  Or plants in general.
+[2829.74 --> 2830.48]  That's cool.
+[2831.66 --> 2832.02]  Okay.
+[2832.38 --> 2832.76]  Hooray.
+[2833.06 --> 2836.18]  Consumer Reports now magically recommends the MacBook Pro.
+[2836.32 --> 2836.96]  Well, it's not magic.
+[2837.16 --> 2840.10]  It's a software update that apparently fixed the battery life issues.
+[2840.18 --> 2843.54]  What I want to know is how fast the processor is running now, but that's a whole other conversation.
+[2843.54 --> 2846.76]  So there you go.
+[2846.84 --> 2854.28]  Basically, one model ran at 18.75 hours on a charge, which is pretty fantastic.
+[2855.16 --> 2862.94]  They tested each model multiple times using the new software following the same protocol that they apply to hundreds of laptops every year.
+[2862.94 --> 2877.42]  So earlier when they evaluated them, the results were highly inconsistent, anywhere from 3.75 to up to 19.5 hours between charges, which is obviously a bit of a problem.
+[2877.94 --> 2883.94]  So another option, because you ran into some serious issues when you were trying to do battery life testing on Windows 10.
+[2884.02 --> 2884.44]  Yes.
+[2884.44 --> 2886.80]  Where you would have ranges of hours.
+[2887.22 --> 2888.26]  Like many hours.
+[2888.26 --> 2889.30]  On the same laptop.
+[2889.50 --> 2889.82]  Yes.
+[2890.40 --> 2892.30]  Doing the same test back to back.
+[2893.42 --> 2900.20]  So Luke's theory is that it has to do with a bunch of telemetry and background services and processes.
+[2900.20 --> 2901.64]  Like other Funko stuff that Windows 10 is doing.
+[2901.82 --> 2908.84]  And even with a lot of guides, like stop Windows 10 from creeping on me guides and stuff, which turn off a lot of it.
+[2909.28 --> 2911.20]  But it's still fishy.
+[2911.92 --> 2912.20]  Right.
+[2912.20 --> 2914.04]  There's still weird stuff.
+[2914.98 --> 2915.40]  Windows 10.
+[2915.50 --> 2916.72]  And it's hard to monitor.
+[2917.88 --> 2922.38]  Because if I'm going to monitor it, it just like massively increases the time that I'd work on the project.
+[2922.56 --> 2923.32]  And it changes it.
+[2923.82 --> 2925.66]  Like you have to actively be there.
+[2925.86 --> 2926.60]  And there's a lot of.
+[2926.98 --> 2927.26]  Yeah.
+[2927.42 --> 2929.04]  It makes the scale kind of ridiculous.
+[2931.22 --> 2934.22]  Chrysler pulled a VW, cheated their emissions test.
+[2934.62 --> 2936.46]  Oh, still loading engadget.com.
+[2937.10 --> 2937.60]  We'll get there.
+[2937.60 --> 2943.00]  The EPA says Chrysler is violating the Clean Air Act.
+[2943.22 --> 2945.18]  How long is the Clean Air Act going to last?
+[2947.98 --> 2949.96]  Well, actually, probably a long time now.
+[2950.26 --> 2952.36]  Because they're just going to sue the crap of them.
+[2952.62 --> 2952.96]  Oh.
+[2952.96 --> 2953.20]  Oh.
+[2955.20 --> 2955.98]  Blah, blah, blah.
+[2956.32 --> 2957.22]  Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
+[2958.14 --> 2964.16]  Trump also made specific and ambiguous promises about energy, environmental statutes like the Clean Air Act.
+[2965.74 --> 2966.42]  Blah, blah, blah.
+[2966.68 --> 2967.38]  Oh, okay.
+[2968.24 --> 2968.88]  Not sure.
+[2969.38 --> 2969.64]  Okay.
+[2969.78 --> 2970.00]  Okay.
+[2970.08 --> 2974.46]  I had thought I had read something saying that he had an actual plan for it, but I must have been mistaken.
+[2976.16 --> 2976.88]  Uh, okay.
+[2976.88 --> 2979.86]  I love how software, like, this must have been a really rough week.
+[2980.08 --> 2982.46]  Because, like, Slack being on the Windows Store.
+[2983.92 --> 2984.32]  Yeah.
+[2984.92 --> 2987.06]  Well, I mean, that's the thing about CES.
+[2987.22 --> 2988.94]  It's like, there's nothing the week before.
+[2989.12 --> 2990.46]  Then it's like, boom!
+[2990.62 --> 2991.86]  And then there's nothing right after.
+[2991.92 --> 2993.34]  And then there's nothing right after.
+[2993.34 --> 2999.78]  Unless, like, something that happened the week before at CES gets stolen, for example.
+[2999.90 --> 3000.06]  Yeah.
+[3000.18 --> 3000.90]  Yeah, then there's something.
+[3001.18 --> 3001.28]  Yeah.
+[3002.26 --> 3003.44]  Or is HDMI.
+[3003.62 --> 3011.50]  Basically, the EPA is alleging that they installed software in some of their diesel vehicles that increased emissions beyond the company's claims.
+[3012.04 --> 3021.90]  EPA says that light-duty model year 2014, 2015, and 2016 Grand Cherokees and Dodge Ram 1500 trucks with 3-liter diesel engines sold in the United States
+[3021.90 --> 3024.14]  are releasing excess nitrogen oxide emissions.
+[3024.64 --> 3028.18]  They allege that approximately 100,000 vehicles were covered in the claim.
+[3029.06 --> 3034.38]  So, it's to a lesser degree than VW's controversy.
+[3034.66 --> 3036.40]  It's only about a fifth as many vehicles.
+[3037.42 --> 3037.96]  So what?
+[3038.48 --> 3042.06]  Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is denying any wrongdoing at this time.
+[3042.62 --> 3043.84]  So, we'll see how that goes.
+[3043.96 --> 3044.12]  Yeah.
+[3044.12 --> 3054.98]  I would be interested to see what a law would look like that punishes offenders more severely for denying it.
+[3057.98 --> 3069.38]  I would be interested to see, like, if you screw up in a way that's, like, cheating, if the money that you have to pay goes towards competing industries.
+[3070.32 --> 3070.60]  Hmm.
+[3071.00 --> 3073.62]  So, if you have to actually, so if Chrysler had to pay Ford.
+[3074.26 --> 3078.78]  Like, if somehow, let's, well, no, no, no, no, competing industries.
+[3079.22 --> 3083.52]  So, it would be, like, say, like, solar panel companies somehow cheated at something.
+[3083.62 --> 3083.90]  Yeah.
+[3084.08 --> 3085.24]  They'd have to, like, pay.
+[3085.34 --> 3085.84]  Big oil.
+[3086.16 --> 3086.52]  Yeah.
+[3087.60 --> 3090.32]  Probably going to go in reverse, just to be fair.
+[3090.32 --> 3095.96]  But, like, it would be interesting to be, like, yeah, if you cheat and you get caught, you will directly aid your competition.
+[3096.68 --> 3097.28]  Very interesting.
+[3097.30 --> 3098.72]  Like, industry competition.
+[3098.98 --> 3102.22]  Not, like, the company that's doing the same thing as you.
+[3103.92 --> 3105.02]  I think that would be interesting.
+[3105.26 --> 3106.82]  And not, like, you wouldn't give it to, like, Tesla.
+[3107.06 --> 3109.66]  But you'd give it to, like, the grants that Tesla gets.
+[3110.14 --> 3110.46]  Interesting.
+[3110.70 --> 3113.14]  You know, like, the, like, electric car.
+[3113.26 --> 3114.48]  Like, you buy it and you get money off.
+[3114.56 --> 3114.80]  Yeah.
+[3114.96 --> 3116.02]  It, like, goes towards that.
+[3116.02 --> 3121.90]  So, you would be subsidizing people to buy things that aren't yours into a competing technology.
+[3123.26 --> 3125.76]  That would get so messy so fast.
+[3126.42 --> 3126.56]  Yeah.
+[3127.10 --> 3127.50]  It would.
+[3127.74 --> 3137.40]  So, there's a rumor over on WCCF Tech that the 1080 Ti could possibly be released at PAX East.
+[3137.86 --> 3139.90]  I personally doubt it.
+[3140.32 --> 3140.70]  Me too.
+[3141.04 --> 3144.10]  I don't know anything for sure, but I doubt it will be at PAX East.
+[3144.10 --> 3146.12]  When has NVIDIA cared about PAX East?
+[3146.52 --> 3148.02]  Since when has anyone cared about it?
+[3148.04 --> 3148.96]  Oh, game tabs, I guess.
+[3149.06 --> 3149.26]  Yeah.
+[3149.52 --> 3151.02]  Because it's, like, the first PAX of the year.
+[3151.70 --> 3154.16]  So, that's actually why PAX Prime ended up being kind of a bummer.
+[3154.16 --> 3157.04]  There's some interesting stuff in terms of games at PAX East.
+[3157.72 --> 3159.96]  Hardware does not have a very strong presence there.
+[3160.04 --> 3160.20]  Yeah.
+[3160.22 --> 3161.36]  We know that from experience.
+[3161.66 --> 3161.94]  Yeah.
+[3162.06 --> 3164.50]  It's really hard to make videos at PAX East.
+[3166.38 --> 3169.94]  It's easy to make videos at CES.
+[3169.94 --> 3175.36]  There just often isn't, like, my problem would be, like, okay, this is my 14th case.
+[3176.94 --> 3180.48]  I don't know if I can make another video about cases without people getting mad.
+[3181.22 --> 3185.32]  But, like, at PAX East, bring a case.
+[3185.98 --> 3186.48]  Please.
+[3187.02 --> 3187.90]  Show me something.
+[3188.40 --> 3189.70]  There's, like, never anything there.
+[3189.70 --> 3190.30]  Some RGB.
+[3190.76 --> 3191.84]  Some tempered glass.
+[3192.08 --> 3193.54]  Just, just, just something.
+[3193.54 --> 3196.36]  Make something out of RGB and tempered glass and we'll be fine.
+[3196.36 --> 3198.86]  The problem is all the hardware guys just went to CES.
+[3199.30 --> 3199.72]  Yeah.
+[3200.10 --> 3202.18]  So, like, the, uh, I don't know.
+[3202.46 --> 3204.46]  Okay, I'm gonna tease an upcoming video.
+[3204.98 --> 3205.68]  Because I just can't contain this.
+[3205.68 --> 3207.02]  Oh, man, really?
+[3207.56 --> 3209.02]  I just can't contain this.
+[3209.98 --> 3212.50]  Speaking of RGB, okay?
+[3212.50 --> 3220.78]  I have a video on how you, too, can own the world's most, I'm not gonna show it to you
+[3220.78 --> 3227.28]  guys too, too, too well here, but the world's most shiny RGB keyboard ever.
+[3231.16 --> 3235.28]  Someone's just gonna grab that frame and then have it.
+[3236.22 --> 3236.66]  Yes.
+[3236.76 --> 3238.26]  I don't know if you can recreate that.
+[3238.72 --> 3241.18]  You really have to, like, see it in glam footage.
+[3241.18 --> 3245.52]  Um, we should do, like, a build called, like, the RGB build.
+[3245.84 --> 3246.34]  Yeah, we should.
+[3246.54 --> 3247.46]  And have, but no, no, no.
+[3247.68 --> 3247.90]  Oh.
+[3248.28 --> 3249.30]  We should do that, too.
+[3249.64 --> 3249.96]  Okay.
+[3250.12 --> 3253.26]  That we, I think they were, they were supposed to pitch it to someone, but anyways.
+[3253.42 --> 3253.60]  Yeah.
+[3253.72 --> 3254.20]  Um.
+[3254.22 --> 3255.60]  We've been meaning to do that forever.
+[3255.68 --> 3256.74]  You know Kyle just did one, right?
+[3256.88 --> 3257.14]  Yeah.
+[3257.26 --> 3257.46]  Yeah.
+[3257.88 --> 3258.24]  Whatever.
+[3258.80 --> 3260.62]  I wonder how long that's been on the list.
+[3260.70 --> 3265.12]  I should go back in, like, the, uh, the, like, the dock, like, history and see when we
+[3265.12 --> 3265.48]  added it.
+[3265.50 --> 3268.32]  The original, like, Corsair RGB keyboard.
+[3268.32 --> 3269.28]  We can one-up him, though.
+[3269.28 --> 3272.78]  I found an RGB SSD at, uh, at CES.
+[3272.88 --> 3274.22]  And I have some more plans, too.
+[3274.32 --> 3276.10]  I want to, like, sync with room lighting and stuff.
+[3276.36 --> 3276.68]  Anyways.
+[3277.16 --> 3277.64]  Um.
+[3277.74 --> 3278.10]  Chroma.
+[3278.40 --> 3282.86]  I want to do an RGB build where we have, like, maybe, it would probably have to work with,
+[3282.94 --> 3283.96]  like, levers or something.
+[3284.36 --> 3287.86]  But, like, manually, literally just red, green, and blue.
+[3287.98 --> 3291.16]  And you can, like, change the colors of the panels on your case.
+[3291.16 --> 3299.72]  Maybe it was, like, cloth, and it, like, rolls up.
+[3299.72 --> 3301.26]  And you can just show the...
+[3301.26 --> 3303.18]  Here's what I'll say about this idea.
+[3303.86 --> 3305.62]  Some of your ideas are really good.
+[3308.26 --> 3309.56]  I think...
+[3309.56 --> 3314.38]  We should totally do it.
+[3314.62 --> 3315.50]  Come on, Twitch chat.
+[3315.50 --> 3316.50]  You just want...
+[3316.50 --> 3317.24]  I'm gonna make a truffle.
+[3317.24 --> 3320.90]  You just want a pizza heating PC for 2017, don't you?
+[3321.08 --> 3322.94]  Oh, I'm gonna make number two, I think.
+[3323.46 --> 3325.04]  Number two pizza machine?
+[3325.16 --> 3325.18]  Yeah.
+[3325.28 --> 3328.14]  I need to work with someone, because I want to make it, like, really nice.
+[3328.18 --> 3328.98]  But I have some ideas.
+[3329.10 --> 3329.38]  Okay.
+[3329.52 --> 3331.00]  I need it, like, machined and stuff.
+[3332.02 --> 3333.26]  Like, it's gonna be sick.
+[3333.40 --> 3333.66]  What?
+[3333.92 --> 3336.74]  I also want to have, like, a pizza oven, like, built into it.
+[3336.84 --> 3339.88]  So you could cook it and then, like, keep it heated.
+[3339.88 --> 3341.66]  No, we've got some ideas.
+[3341.80 --> 3343.94]  Pizza Heater 2 is gonna be real.
+[3344.84 --> 3346.70]  We better get more dislikes this time.
+[3346.84 --> 3350.78]  Anyways, um, real RGB PC.
+[3352.06 --> 3352.52]  Yes.
+[3353.08 --> 3353.56]  Yes.
+[3354.38 --> 3354.66]  Yes.
+[3354.66 --> 3355.50]  Oh, wow.
+[3355.82 --> 3359.64]  You can't put all yeses in the answer for a straw poll.
+[3359.66 --> 3361.70]  I didn't put all yeses, I just put three yeses.
+[3361.72 --> 3362.10]  No.
+[3362.90 --> 3363.38]  Terrible.
+[3363.70 --> 3365.00]  There's just three different yeses.
+[3365.06 --> 3367.22]  Okay, well, while you guys are voting on that,
+[3367.22 --> 3372.38]  um, I will use this opportunity to tell you about the Floatplane Club.
+[3372.74 --> 3373.10]  Hooray.
+[3373.72 --> 3374.24]  Hooray.
+[3375.94 --> 3378.60]  And I'm gonna post that instead of Luke's garbage.
+[3379.22 --> 3381.84]  So that, yeah, it's gonna be a competition for,
+[3382.16 --> 3385.22]  you shouldn't be, you shouldn't be fighting against my Floatplane Club posts.
+[3385.52 --> 3387.46]  You want Floatplane Club to be a success.
+[3387.70 --> 3388.16]  Yeah, that's right.
+[3388.16 --> 3388.18]  I do.
+[3388.18 --> 3388.74]  I wanna say.
+[3388.74 --> 3389.24]  Yeah, that's right.
+[3389.46 --> 3389.88]  That's right.
+[3389.98 --> 3390.30]  That's right.
+[3390.30 --> 3393.22]  People that are on the Floatplane Club, I'm sorry about the CES stuff.
+[3393.22 --> 3397.38]  The plan was you guys were gonna get videos, like, as soon as we were done editing them,
+[3397.40 --> 3400.12]  and you're gonna see them early, and then, like, eight of them didn't go up.
+[3400.46 --> 3406.40]  So I'm pretty not stoked on the fact that that happened, and...
+[3406.40 --> 3410.38]  But the idea behind it is that we have our own early access platform,
+[3410.54 --> 3413.52]  which is actually a lot better than the last time we talked about it.
+[3414.86 --> 3416.76]  20% of people are saying no.
+[3417.52 --> 3419.22]  20% of people are saying no?
+[3419.32 --> 3421.70]  That's a lot for, like, a video suggestion.
+[3421.70 --> 3422.26]  Yeah.
+[3422.72 --> 3424.12]  Maybe we don't have to do it.
+[3424.48 --> 3425.64]  The real RGB PC?
+[3425.72 --> 3426.36]  Oh, yeah.
+[3426.46 --> 3426.96]  No, no.
+[3427.04 --> 3428.18]  We do not have to do that.
+[3429.44 --> 3429.84]  Maybe.
+[3430.60 --> 3433.66]  So, basically, it's our early access platform.
+[3433.98 --> 3435.96]  The way it works is...
+[3435.96 --> 3436.78]  Oh, it's 19 now.
+[3436.84 --> 3437.40]  Maybe we should.
+[3438.62 --> 3439.24]  Maybe we should.
+[3439.46 --> 3441.26]  Yeah, 20 is, like, a hard stop.
+[3441.38 --> 3442.30]  That's a hard threshold.
+[3442.48 --> 3443.32]  Oh, it's back up to 20.
+[3443.40 --> 3443.56]  Shit.
+[3447.48 --> 3447.88]  Terrible.
+[3447.88 --> 3455.50]  I want to see if there's any way for me to show this without showing anything that I shouldn't show.
+[3455.74 --> 3456.40]  I don't think so.
+[3456.60 --> 3457.22]  There might be.
+[3457.40 --> 3459.18]  You'd have to, like, do a weird zoom, but maybe.
+[3460.50 --> 3460.90]  Okay.
+[3461.34 --> 3462.42]  So that would work.
+[3463.56 --> 3463.92]  Okay.
+[3464.04 --> 3465.86]  So, basically, here we go.
+[3465.92 --> 3467.46]  I will do this very carefully.
+[3467.76 --> 3468.70]  Oh, God.
+[3468.80 --> 3470.06]  I will do it very carefully.
+[3470.06 --> 3470.78]  Because that's, like, ours.
+[3471.00 --> 3472.06]  I will do it very carefully.
+[3472.26 --> 3472.54]  Okay.
+[3472.74 --> 3473.54]  So, this is John.
+[3474.34 --> 3474.82]  Hi, John.
+[3474.82 --> 3475.50]  And this is his post.
+[3475.76 --> 3476.80]  Hi, John's post.
+[3476.96 --> 3477.62]  Of a video.
+[3478.12 --> 3478.82]  There's a video.
+[3479.34 --> 3480.10]  That I can play.
+[3480.76 --> 3482.26]  Hey, look how fast it started playing.
+[3482.54 --> 3483.20]  Hey, look at that.
+[3483.24 --> 3483.86]  Wasn't that cool?
+[3484.42 --> 3486.16]  And then I could...
+[3486.16 --> 3487.54]  Hold on.
+[3487.62 --> 3488.04]  Hold on.
+[3488.28 --> 3489.66]  And then I could go full screen.
+[3490.10 --> 3490.76]  Oh, dang it.
+[3491.18 --> 3492.28]  Careful when you come back out of it.
+[3492.38 --> 3493.94]  Maybe switch to...
+[3493.94 --> 3494.38]  Full screen.
+[3494.90 --> 3495.14]  Woo!
+[3495.28 --> 3496.56]  Okay, I'm not going to come back out of it.
+[3496.56 --> 3496.66]  What the heck is that?
+[3497.00 --> 3499.52]  I don't know, but it was really scary.
+[3500.14 --> 3502.16]  So, anyway, that's a Tech Quickie video.
+[3502.16 --> 3504.22]  That right now is not on YouTube.
+[3504.86 --> 3510.88]  So, basically, Luke AL built a video streaming platform.
+[3511.02 --> 3511.44]  Luke AL?
+[3511.76 --> 3512.14]  AL.
+[3512.40 --> 3514.64]  It's, like, and company.
+[3515.34 --> 3515.60]  Oh.
+[3516.90 --> 3518.12]  E-T-A-L.
+[3518.52 --> 3518.74]  Gotcha.
+[3519.48 --> 3520.82]  Built a video streaming platform.
+[3520.94 --> 3524.24]  There's still a lot of stuff that is very much in progress.
+[3524.66 --> 3527.54]  There's some really cool things that I think I want to, like...
+[3527.54 --> 3528.64]  How much do you want to talk about?
+[3528.74 --> 3529.76]  Okay, I think I want to release a video...
+[3529.76 --> 3530.52]  Do you want to show that page?
+[3531.52 --> 3531.92]  No.
+[3532.16 --> 3533.18]  We can't show that page.
+[3533.24 --> 3533.36]  No.
+[3533.42 --> 3534.48]  Even if we don't show the IP.
+[3534.78 --> 3535.62]  Let's not show that page.
+[3535.62 --> 3536.62]  You don't want to show that page?
+[3536.70 --> 3541.86]  Okay, but see, my theory is I think I want to launch a video on the Flowplane Club about
+[3541.86 --> 3542.70]  those pages.
+[3542.98 --> 3543.34]  Okay.
+[3543.54 --> 3543.92]  All right.
+[3544.06 --> 3545.58]  So, we show it to Flowplane Club first.
+[3545.68 --> 3545.90]  Yeah.
+[3546.20 --> 3546.64]  Fair enough.
+[3547.06 --> 3547.36]  Okay.
+[3547.36 --> 3550.60]  Anyway, so what we're working on is better image quality.
+[3550.60 --> 3551.72]  We're going to have early access.
+[3552.06 --> 3557.18]  We're going to try and have a less toxic sort of community vibe compared to YouTube, which
+[3557.18 --> 3561.04]  was something a lot of Vessel viewers were really upset about losing.
+[3561.46 --> 3563.42]  Right now, everything is done through the forum.
+[3563.42 --> 3567.94]  But in the future, and development is how in progress.
+[3568.30 --> 3569.70]  Very much so in progress.
+[3569.78 --> 3570.20]  Very in progress.
+[3570.20 --> 3571.38]  And it looks amazing.
+[3571.92 --> 3573.82]  I just want to say, like, damn.
+[3574.12 --> 3578.04]  For everyone that's worked on it, back end, front end, middle, CMS.
+[3578.04 --> 3579.52]  CMS, low end.
+[3579.60 --> 3580.10]  Top end.
+[3580.52 --> 3581.92]  Eric, cat, Linus.
+[3581.94 --> 3582.28]  Rear end.
+[3582.30 --> 3583.18]  But not this one.
+[3583.60 --> 3583.84]  Mortis.
+[3583.84 --> 3584.92]  Yeah, different Linus, actually.
+[3585.30 --> 3585.64]  Everyone.
+[3585.90 --> 3588.84]  That's been, like, oh, very good.
+[3589.76 --> 3590.34]  Very, very good.
+[3593.12 --> 3594.00]  All right.
+[3595.72 --> 3604.10]  Henry on Twitch says, who the three asteriskses, asteriskses, thinks we're toxic.
+[3605.26 --> 3605.72]  Wow.
+[3606.62 --> 3607.32]  Twitch chat.
+[3608.76 --> 3609.52]  Twitch chat.
+[3610.92 --> 3611.70]  Twitch chat.
+[3613.16 --> 3613.56]  Anyways.
+[3614.26 --> 3617.28]  Anyway, link one more time there so you guys can join.
+[3618.10 --> 3619.44]  That's what we're calling it.
+[3619.56 --> 3620.54]  It's three bucks a month.
+[3622.10 --> 3622.42]  Yeah.
+[3623.64 --> 3625.88]  Right now, it's very, very early access.
+[3626.28 --> 3627.60]  But, yeah.
+[3628.04 --> 3629.54]  I think that's pretty much it, right?
+[3629.60 --> 3629.78]  Yeah.
+[3630.02 --> 3630.72]  Do we have anything else?
+[3630.90 --> 3631.10]  Nope.
+[3631.32 --> 3631.62]  Okay.
+[3631.74 --> 3632.38]  You have to get to your thing.
+[3632.48 --> 3634.36]  Yeah, I've got badminton classes.
+[3634.48 --> 3635.54]  I need to, like, leave.
+[3635.68 --> 3636.42]  Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
+[3636.42 --> 3636.60]  Oh.
+[3636.90 --> 3637.66]  Okay, bye.
+[3638.04 --> 3638.24]  Yeah.
+[3639.06 --> 3639.98]  Bye, everyone.
+[3640.32 --> 3640.74]  Animation.
+[3641.24 --> 3642.20]  I don't think there's music.
+[3643.76 --> 3645.24]  Well, it's like, YouTube isn't toxic.
+[3645.38 --> 3645.92]  You're toxic.
+[3647.44 --> 3649.58]  That's you saying that is toxic.
+[3649.72 --> 3650.66]  Showbiz Pizza Bear.
+[3650.80 --> 3654.08]  YouTube comments are worse than cancer, and I've had cancer.
+[3654.56 --> 3658.24]  I don't believe you've actually had cancer if you say something like that.
+[3658.24 --> 3661.86]  I'm pretty sure cancer is actually very terrible compared to YouTube comments.
+[3663.54 --> 3664.38]  Good night, everybody.
+[3664.38 --> 3664.44]  Good night, everybody.

+[0.00 --> 8.88]  All right, it's WAN show time again and you guys may or may not have noticed there's something a little different
+[9.96 --> 13.16]  About the show today. I know what it is
+[14.44 --> 21.92]  I'm screen sharing off a Mac. I'm using a Mac. Oh, no, that's it. Isn't it concept once I know right?
+[23.28 --> 28.60]  So yeah, we've got a couple special guests. We've got Jay's two cents from the YouTube channel Jay's two cents
+[28.60 --> 32.56]  There's pretty much no way you guys don't know who he is
+[32.56 --> 38.40]  And then we've got Dimitri from hardware Canucks who a lot of you will probably know who he is as well
+[38.40 --> 40.40]  So we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today
+[40.88 --> 44.88]  What are they oh? Yeah in unexpected news?
+[46.24 --> 53.28]  AMD's Vega graphics cards are more expensive than MSRP. Oh my god. Who saw that coming more vega news?
+[53.28 --> 57.60]  Oh wait, I've got okay. You guys are all being sarcastic, which is kind of a dick move, okay?
+[57.60 --> 60.20]  This is not a sarcastic show. No, okay? This is a
+[60.72 --> 66.06]  This is a forthright and clear communicative show that sentences
+[67.80 --> 74.68]  In other news Intel claims that the 8700k will be about 11% faster than the 7700k
+[76.74 --> 80.30]  Cool, but can we just not say anything if we're gonna be not sarcastic?
+[80.30 --> 84.08]  You know what if you guys aren't gonna like you guys aren't gonna do the show nicely then
+[84.08 --> 87.24]  You could just go actually you know what no I'm just gonna go
+[87.24 --> 93.08]  Okay, okay? Well after that we have probably more intro shows over
+[93.08 --> 97.54]  This is the end this is the end of everything the end of days
+[97.54 --> 99.54]  Hello world as we know it
+[99.54 --> 100.54]  Hello world as we know it
+[100.54 --> 101.54]  Hello world as we know it
+[101.54 --> 104.54]  You are the weakest like
+[104.54 --> 105.54]  Goodbye
+[105.54 --> 106.54]  Goodbye
+[106.54 --> 108.54]  Where'd you find that?
+[108.54 --> 109.54]  It's very bottomless today
+[109.54 --> 110.54]  What?
+[110.54 --> 111.54]  What?
+[111.54 --> 112.54]  I was looking for it
+[112.54 --> 113.54]  Neither of us could find it
+[113.54 --> 114.54]  This?
+[114.54 --> 115.54]  Yeah, for that
+[115.54 --> 116.54]  Well for that
+[116.54 --> 117.54]  That was in like one of your main compartments of your back then
+[117.54 --> 118.54]  Shut up
+[118.54 --> 119.54]  Neither of us could find it we were both looking for it
+[119.54 --> 120.54]  Yeah
+[120.54 --> 121.54]  Good job Nick
+[121.54 --> 122.54]  Magic hands
+[122.54 --> 123.54]  Magic hands
+[123.54 --> 124.54]  Magic hands
+[124.54 --> 125.54]  Oh
+[125.54 --> 126.54]  Oops I clicked the wrong thing
+[126.54 --> 127.54]  Uh
+[127.54 --> 128.54]  Uh
+[128.54 --> 129.54]  Uh
+[129.54 --> 131.54]  Okay back on the oh oh no terrible everything's terrible
+[131.54 --> 132.54]  What are you doing?
+[132.54 --> 134.54]  Uh hold on hold on I got this
+[134.54 --> 135.54]  Uh
+[135.54 --> 136.54]  Uh
+[136.54 --> 137.54]  Okay there
+[137.54 --> 138.54]  What?
+[138.54 --> 139.54]  And uh
+[139.54 --> 140.54]  Sponsors
+[140.54 --> 141.54]  Why do you have a NASCAR hat on?
+[141.54 --> 142.54]  There we go don't worry about it
+[142.54 --> 144.54]  Don't worry about the NASCAR hat
+[144.54 --> 146.54]  There's reasons that will be revealed at another time
+[146.54 --> 147.54]  Yeah
+[147.54 --> 150.54]  Reas- it has nothing to do with scrapyard wars
+[150.54 --> 152.54]  Or the closed toed shoes
+[152.54 --> 153.54]  Yeah
+[153.54 --> 156.54]  The fact that these guys are here also has nothing to do with it
+[156.54 --> 157.54]  Yes nothing to do with scrapyard wars
+[157.54 --> 158.54]  We flew in for Wansho and Wansho only
+[158.54 --> 159.54]  Okay
+[159.54 --> 160.54]  So actually
+[160.54 --> 163.54]  I think that's probably a great topic for us to start with
+[163.54 --> 164.54]  Uh guys
+[164.54 --> 167.54]  Get amped about the upcoming season of scrapyard wars
+[167.54 --> 168.54]  Yeah
+[168.54 --> 171.54]  It's probably not gonna be out for like
+[171.54 --> 173.54]  Six weeks to eight weeks
+[173.54 --> 175.54]  Like I'm talking first episode
+[175.54 --> 178.54]  But it's our Christmas present to you
+[178.54 --> 180.54]  It'll be out first on float plane
+[180.54 --> 182.54]  And it'll be out first on float plane
+[182.54 --> 183.54]  I'll take those victories
+[183.54 --> 184.54]  By that time
+[184.54 --> 185.54]  Float plane
+[185.54 --> 186.54]  Nope let's not go with that
+[186.54 --> 189.54]  Float plane might not even exist anymore for all we know
+[189.54 --> 190.54]  Who knows
+[190.54 --> 191.54]  Um
+[191.54 --> 192.54]  But uh what I will say
+[192.54 --> 193.54]  I'm you know
+[193.54 --> 195.54]  There's gonna be no spoilers on the show today you guys
+[195.54 --> 202.54]  But what I will say is a huge thank you to uh Jay and Dimitri for flying all the way up here
+[202.54 --> 204.54]  The pleasure was all ours
+[204.54 --> 205.54]  Yes thank you for the invite
+[205.54 --> 206.54]  Cool
+[206.54 --> 207.54]  I'm uh yeah it was like
+[207.54 --> 208.54]  We had a lot of fun
+[208.54 --> 212.54]  So that's that's the only spoiler I'll give you guys is it was a ton of fun
+[212.54 --> 215.54]  And uh yeah you know what that's it
+[215.54 --> 218.54]  That's it so and now radio silence
+[218.54 --> 221.54]  And don't even bother trying to get anything out of these guys
+[221.54 --> 224.54]  Because they know the scrapyard wars code
+[224.54 --> 225.54]  Yeah
+[225.54 --> 227.54]  Say something and die
+[227.54 --> 229.54]  I mean
+[229.54 --> 230.54]  It's more like
+[230.54 --> 231.54]  Um
+[231.54 --> 232.54]  What is it
+[232.54 --> 237.54]  A say umthing say and a I day
+[237.54 --> 241.54]  You know we'll go with the pig Latin version of the code
+[241.54 --> 242.54]  But yeah
+[242.54 --> 244.54]  I just like that we left it where it's it's
+[244.54 --> 245.54]  That's it in a nutshell
+[245.54 --> 246.54]  Um
+[246.54 --> 248.54]  Alright so guys
+[248.54 --> 253.54]  First uh first article today this was posted by stay ass on the forum and the original article here
+[253.54 --> 255.54]  How do I click a link on a Mac?
+[255.54 --> 256.54]  What the hell is this?
+[256.54 --> 257.54]  Yes!
+[257.54 --> 258.54]  Okay
+[258.54 --> 259.54]  Okay
+[259.54 --> 260.54]  Uh yeah no spoilers
+[260.54 --> 261.54]  Okay
+[261.54 --> 262.54]  I just wanna
+[262.54 --> 263.54]  Now it works
+[263.54 --> 264.54]  What the heck?
+[264.54 --> 265.54]  Just don't push too hard
+[265.54 --> 266.54]  You have to do the force press
+[266.54 --> 267.54]  Oh
+[267.54 --> 268.54]  What why?
+[268.54 --> 269.54]  Press?
+[269.54 --> 270.54]  I know
+[270.54 --> 274.54]  I go to use the touch screen to zoom and it's like
+[274.54 --> 275.54]  No you'll have to do
+[275.54 --> 276.54]  Ah
+[276.54 --> 278.54]  I want my computer back
+[278.54 --> 279.54]  Okay anyway
+[279.54 --> 280.54]  Anyway
+[280.54 --> 281.54]  Um
+[281.54 --> 284.54]  A.I.B. Partners to Gamers Nexus
+[284.54 --> 285.54]  This was posted by Steve Burke
+[285.54 --> 286.54]  You know Steve right?
+[286.54 --> 287.54]  Yeah yeah
+[287.54 --> 288.54]  You know Steven? Yeah okay
+[288.54 --> 289.54]  Uh
+[289.54 --> 290.54]  Gibbo was right
+[290.54 --> 291.54]  I like that guy
+[291.54 --> 292.54]  About AMD price changing
+[292.54 --> 293.54]  I like his hair
+[293.54 --> 294.54]  AMD basically came out of the gate
+[294.54 --> 295.54]  That's awesome
+[295.54 --> 297.54]  With Vega 56 and Vega 64
+[297.54 --> 299.54]  With an I think you guys in your reviews
+[299.54 --> 300.54]  Probably agreed
+[300.54 --> 301.54]  Hmm
+[301.54 --> 302.54]  Vega 64 looks
+[302.54 --> 303.54]  Okay
+[303.54 --> 305.54]  Other than being a couple years late
+[305.54 --> 308.54]  Because it's basically an overclocked 980 Ti
+[308.54 --> 311.54]  And Vega 56 looks pretty good
+[311.54 --> 313.54]  It's the $400 king
+[313.54 --> 314.54]  Okay
+[314.54 --> 315.54]  For compute anyway
+[315.54 --> 316.54]  Okay
+[316.54 --> 318.54]  So now
+[318.54 --> 319.54]  It looks like
+[319.54 --> 331.54]  Launch price of Vega 64 was supposed to be $500 but quickly shot to $600 in the wake of immediate inventory selling out
+[331.54 --> 332.54]  So is this actual MSRP?
+[332.54 --> 333.54]  Yep
+[333.54 --> 334.54]  So is this actual MSRP?
+[334.54 --> 335.54]  And
+[335.54 --> 337.54]  Or is this just stores reacting?
+[337.54 --> 339.54]  I'm going with the latter
+[339.54 --> 340.54]  Yeah
+[340.54 --> 342.54]  Let's see
+[342.54 --> 345.54]  Cause we can't really blame them for that
+[345.54 --> 346.54]  So this is interesting
+[346.54 --> 347.54]  What does AMD website say?
+[347.54 --> 348.54]  What does AMD website say?
+[348.54 --> 349.54]  What does AMD website say?
+[349.54 --> 358.54]  AMD provided the top retailers and e-tailers with a $499 price on Vega 64 coupling sale of the card with a rebate to reduce spend by retailers
+[358.54 --> 362.54]  So basically that's like it's usually called like a POS rebate
+[362.54 --> 364.54]  A point of sale rebate
+[364.54 --> 368.54]  Apparently the rebate is already expiring
+[368.54 --> 371.54]  Hence the price jump by retailers
+[371.54 --> 372.54]  Oh
+[372.54 --> 373.54]  It was that fast
+[373.54 --> 377.54]  Yeah well see this is something that is kind of not public knowledge
+[377.54 --> 378.54]  This is more
+[378.54 --> 381.54]  And I'm sure I'm over like the statute of limitations
+[381.54 --> 384.54]  For my old job as a product manager
+[384.54 --> 386.54]  But it is
+[386.54 --> 390.54]  It is pretty tight
+[390.54 --> 392.54]  To be an AMD partner
+[392.54 --> 393.54]  Mm-hmm
+[393.54 --> 396.54]  I've gotten a lot of feedback in the industry over the years
+[396.54 --> 400.54]  Being an Nvidia add-in card partner
+[400.54 --> 401.54]  I think they call them AIBs
+[401.54 --> 403.54]  And I think AMD calls them AICs
+[403.54 --> 405.54]  Add-in card versus add-in board
+[405.54 --> 406.54]  Right
+[406.54 --> 409.54]  Being an Nvidia partner versus an AMD partner
+[409.54 --> 411.54]  Is supposedly a lot better
+[411.54 --> 413.54]  Now XFX
+[413.54 --> 414.54]  You guys probably remember this
+[414.54 --> 415.54]  Yeah
+[415.54 --> 416.54]  When did they jump ship?
+[416.54 --> 418.54]  What was AMD?
+[418.54 --> 419.54]  Yeah
+[419.54 --> 420.54]  Like
+[420.54 --> 421.54]  Wasn't it like 4000 series?
+[421.54 --> 422.54]  Like 6,000
+[422.54 --> 423.54]  Oh sorry
+[423.54 --> 424.54]  6000 series AICs
+[424.54 --> 425.54]  Oh no it was 4000 series
+[425.54 --> 426.54]  I think you're right
+[426.54 --> 427.54]  So it was like
+[427.54 --> 429.54]  So that was when AMD looked
+[429.54 --> 431.54]  Because they were competing against
+[431.54 --> 435.54]  Was that the 480 generation?
+[435.54 --> 436.54]  Or had they just
+[436.54 --> 438.54]  They just hadn't refreshed in forever?
+[438.54 --> 439.54]  They just hadn't refreshed in forever?
+[439.54 --> 440.54]  Basically
+[440.54 --> 442.54]  They turned tail on Nvidia
+[442.54 --> 444.54]  And they went to AMD
+[444.54 --> 445.54]  And
+[445.54 --> 447.54]  My understanding is that
+[447.54 --> 449.54]  It's been pretty rough over there
+[449.54 --> 452.54]  Is all I can really say
+[452.54 --> 454.54]  But what are your guys' thoughts
+[454.54 --> 458.54]  On the pricing of Vega 64 in particular
+[458.54 --> 459.54]  It looks like here
+[459.54 --> 461.54]  Having effectively been increased?
+[461.54 --> 466.54]  I think it's only going to be beneficial for those that are using the compute performance honestly
+[466.54 --> 467.54]  Not as a gaming card
+[467.54 --> 468.54]  Right
+[468.54 --> 469.54]  Because at that point it makes no sense
+[469.54 --> 472.54]  Now you're talking 1080ti pricing which dominates it in games
+[473.54 --> 476.54]  But at the exact same time
+[476.54 --> 477.54]  Not in terms of making sense
+[477.54 --> 482.54]  But AMD right now has a very aggressive very dedicated fan base
+[482.54 --> 483.54]  That's true
+[483.54 --> 485.54]  So it might not even matter
+[485.54 --> 487.54]  My concern with this though was that
+[487.54 --> 491.54]  That fan base is usually though attached to the performance per dollar aspect of being an AMD fan
+[491.54 --> 492.54]  And that's not here
+[492.54 --> 496.54]  Yeah but AMD has put a lot of work into making it a rebellious stance
+[496.54 --> 499.54]  Instead of just necessarily a performance per dollar
+[499.54 --> 501.54]  Because they were definitely performance per dollar
+[501.54 --> 505.54]  Like with the 3000 series Intel processors
+[505.54 --> 508.54]  And like a couple generations back
+[508.54 --> 510.54]  With like 200 series AMD graphics cards
+[510.54 --> 512.54]  But more recently I feel like they've been shifting it
+[512.54 --> 515.54]  I think the bigger question here
+[515.54 --> 516.54]  You can totally be right though
+[516.54 --> 517.54]  I think the bigger question here
+[517.54 --> 519.54]  The one that affects our audience
+[519.54 --> 521.54]  And the one that affects us as reviewers more
+[521.54 --> 524.54]  Is this artificial rebate
+[524.54 --> 526.54]  That's only valid for
+[526.54 --> 528.54]  I mean the card only launched what a week ago?
+[528.54 --> 532.54]  So a rebate that they're putting on the card for a week
+[532.54 --> 536.54]  To hit a price that isn't sustainable
+[536.54 --> 539.54]  That affects your conclusion about the card and yours
+[539.54 --> 540.54]  Absolutely
+[540.54 --> 542.54]  And it's not like especially as YouTubers
+[542.54 --> 545.54]  It's not like we can go back and edit our article
+[545.54 --> 548.54]  Be like yeah the price to performance sucks donkey balls now
+[548.54 --> 550.54]  And not to flatter ourselves
+[550.54 --> 552.54]  But that's where a lot of research is happening right now
+[552.54 --> 555.54]  Is YouTube especially for people that are getting new into computers
+[555.54 --> 559.54]  And might not think to check a whole bunch of different sites
+[559.54 --> 561.54]  Like written sites that can be updated
+[561.54 --> 562.54]  Like Gamers Nexus guy
+[562.54 --> 563.54]  We just talked about him
+[563.54 --> 565.54]  He might say in his video
+[565.54 --> 567.54]  Pricing and stuff is on our website
+[567.54 --> 568.54]  I've seen him say that before
+[568.54 --> 569.54]  So that they can update it
+[569.54 --> 570.54]  And that's cool
+[570.54 --> 571.54]  But even then
+[571.54 --> 573.54]  Like for something like a 499
+[573.54 --> 574.54]  The feeling changes
+[574.54 --> 576.54]  Yeah like a budget graphics card
+[576.54 --> 577.54]  Where they're going like
+[577.54 --> 579.54]  We're the new 499
+[579.54 --> 581.54]  Or 399 king
+[581.54 --> 582.54]  399 king
+[582.54 --> 584.54]  And then if we
+[584.54 --> 585.54]  If our conclusion is
+[585.54 --> 587.54]  Check the link in the description
+[587.54 --> 589.54]  For price for the most up to date pricing on Amazon
+[589.54 --> 590.54]  I knew it I'm stupid
+[590.54 --> 591.54]  But we say
+[591.54 --> 594.54]  Yeah AMD's positioned this card really well
+[594.54 --> 596.54]  It's performance looks great
+[596.54 --> 597.54]  And the value is great
+[598.54 --> 601.54]  If it's 80 or 100 dollars more expensive
+[601.54 --> 602.54]  I feel like what they've done is
+[602.54 --> 605.54]  They've made Nvidia feel like a more compelling deal
+[605.54 --> 607.54]  Or budget at that point
+[607.54 --> 609.54]  I mean because 1070 right competes against 56
+[609.54 --> 611.54]  And 56 was beating 1070
+[611.54 --> 612.54]  Pretty much across the board
+[612.54 --> 614.54]  But now you increase that price
+[614.54 --> 615.54]  Why would I want a 56
+[615.54 --> 616.54]  Unless I'm going compute
+[616.54 --> 618.54]  I mean if I can use the compute
+[618.54 --> 619.54]  Aspect of it
+[619.54 --> 620.54]  Then yeah it dominates
+[620.54 --> 622.54]  Both of them dominate what Nvidia has to offer
+[622.54 --> 623.54]  But the question is
+[623.54 --> 625.54]  How many of these buyers are actually buying them for compute
+[625.54 --> 627.54]  Or to be a part of that rebellion nation
+[627.54 --> 628.54]  Yeah
+[628.54 --> 632.54]  Also will this affect any of the bundle stuff that AMD is putting up
+[632.54 --> 633.54]  It would have to right?
+[633.54 --> 634.54]  Yeah
+[634.54 --> 635.54]  It would have to
+[635.54 --> 636.54]  So the bundles would have to go up by 100 bucks too
+[636.54 --> 637.54]  Yeah
+[637.54 --> 638.54]  I feel like yeah the bundles would just go up
+[638.54 --> 639.54]  And I don't think anything else would change
+[639.54 --> 641.54]  I don't think the bundles are going to get any better
+[641.54 --> 642.54]  I think the bundles were a terrible LED to begin with
+[642.54 --> 646.54]  I just really don't like being screwed around with like this
+[646.54 --> 647.54]  Yeah
+[647.54 --> 649.54]  I don't like being manipulated in a way where
+[649.54 --> 650.54]  Like there's a couple things
+[650.54 --> 651.54]  And you know what?
+[651.54 --> 653.54]  It's one of those things where I'm not just going to crap on AMD for this
+[653.54 --> 655.54]  Like you and I have talked about this offline
+[655.54 --> 656.54]  I think I might have mentioned it to you
+[656.54 --> 659.54]  But I was really really displeased
+[659.54 --> 663.54]  When Nvidia had a separate unboxing embargo
+[663.54 --> 664.54]  Wow
+[664.54 --> 665.54]  For the 1080 Ti
+[665.54 --> 667.54]  Because you know what that is
+[667.54 --> 669.54]  That's Nvidia saying
+[669.54 --> 670.54]  Max?
+[670.54 --> 672.54]  Do you need some help over there?
+[672.54 --> 673.54]  Maybe
+[673.54 --> 674.54]  No
+[674.54 --> 675.54]  What are we changing?
+[675.54 --> 676.54]  I don't know
+[676.54 --> 678.54]  It looks tilted and I had to fix it
+[678.54 --> 679.54]  Okay
+[679.54 --> 680.54]  It's
+[680.54 --> 681.54]  Linus is going to focus now
+[681.54 --> 683.54]  I really would have just maybe left it
+[683.54 --> 685.54]  Also point it towards Linus a little bit more
+[685.54 --> 687.54]  That's a bit better
+[687.54 --> 689.54]  Okay, okay
+[689.54 --> 690.54]  Let's just
+[690.54 --> 691.54]  Let's not touch it anymore
+[691.54 --> 692.54]  Okay
+[692.54 --> 694.54]  Thanks Max
+[694.54 --> 696.54]  Okay, what were we talking about again?
+[696.54 --> 697.54]  You were talking about the unboxing
+[697.54 --> 698.54]  Right
+[698.54 --> 699.54]  Okay
+[699.54 --> 700.54]  So there were a couple things wrong with that
+[700.54 --> 701.54]  Number one
+[701.54 --> 704.54]  Was that Paul had already done an unboxing at the event
+[704.54 --> 705.54]  And that's nothing against Paul
+[705.54 --> 706.54]  Yeah, because why not?
+[706.54 --> 707.54]  Super cool
+[707.54 --> 708.54]  Fairplay
+[708.54 --> 709.54]  But I think they saw the traction that that sort of got
+[709.54 --> 710.54]  No problem
+[710.54 --> 711.54]  And then they came up with the idea of like
+[711.54 --> 712.54]  Oh, we better reel this in
+[712.54 --> 713.54]  And you know
+[713.54 --> 714.54]  Put an embargo on this
+[714.54 --> 716.54]  Because what they're trying to get
+[716.54 --> 718.54]  Because that effectively what they're getting
+[718.54 --> 720.54]  When they do a launch event
+[720.54 --> 721.54]  We all accept it
+[721.54 --> 724.54]  Because it gives us access to talk to the developers
+[724.54 --> 725.54]  Of the product
+[725.54 --> 726.54]  Right
+[726.54 --> 728.54]  In a way that we don't get to on just a conference call
+[728.54 --> 730.54]  It's a lot more helpful than a conference call
+[730.54 --> 731.54]  Yeah
+[731.54 --> 734.54]  So we all accept these events that they do
+[734.54 --> 737.54]  Because it's also an opportunity to network within the industry
+[737.54 --> 738.54]  Most of the time I've spent with you guys
+[738.54 --> 740.54]  It has been at industry events
+[740.54 --> 743.54]  But what's really frustrating
+[743.54 --> 748.54]  Is that NVIDIA controls the narrative at that point
+[748.54 --> 749.54]  Because any news story
+[749.54 --> 751.54]  And we have to do a news story
+[751.54 --> 753.54]  Because everybody else is going to do a news story
+[753.54 --> 754.54]  Right
+[754.54 --> 755.54]  So that's my upload that day
+[755.54 --> 756.54]  That's Jay's upload that day
+[756.54 --> 757.54]  That's Dimitri's upload that day
+[757.54 --> 760.54]  That's other content that might be more meaningful
+[760.54 --> 764.54]  Because it's not just regurgitating the same information everybody has
+[764.54 --> 765.54]  That isn't going up
+[765.54 --> 767.54]  Because we're busy traveling for a day
+[767.54 --> 768.54]  Yeah
+[768.54 --> 769.54]  Spending a day at an event
+[769.54 --> 771.54]  And then traveling back for another day
+[771.54 --> 773.54]  We just spent 1% of our year
+[773.54 --> 775.54]  On this event
+[775.54 --> 778.54]  To make the same piece of content that everybody else is making
+[778.54 --> 779.54]  For me personally
+[779.54 --> 780.54]  And there can be some
+[780.54 --> 781.54]  Okay
+[781.54 --> 782.54]  I'm not a huge fan
+[782.54 --> 784.54]  I'm not a huge fan
+[784.54 --> 785.54]  To do that
+[785.54 --> 786.54]  Because people might have different opinions
+[786.54 --> 787.54]  Or insights
+[787.54 --> 788.54]  Or ideas
+[788.54 --> 789.54]  About how something might be used
+[789.54 --> 790.54]  Blah blah blah
+[790.54 --> 791.54]  But it's a lot
+[791.54 --> 792.54]  It's a lot to put on one item
+[792.54 --> 794.54]  And when you have to do just an unboxing
+[794.54 --> 798.54]  It's pretty unlikely that you'll have a lot of unique insights
+[798.54 --> 805.00]  Well, not even that. This is kind of off topic a little bit, but then it goes as far as starting to break down the information.
+[805.54 --> 808.98]  Like, you can get this piece of information, we get this piece later, this piece tomorrow, right?
+[809.00 --> 811.58]  The pricing issue that happened with 1080 Ti, which was a huge issue.
+[811.58 --> 812.16]  That was a huge issue.
+[812.46 --> 812.60]  Yeah.
+[812.74 --> 819.82]  So what this looks like to me, because NVIDIA is effectively getting marketing out of bringing people to this event.
+[820.04 --> 824.50]  They're just regurgitating whatever was on NVIDIA's slides because that's all the information we have so far.
+[824.50 --> 832.10]  We don't have any benchmarks, like how fast is the Uber car 10,000 or whatever.
+[832.80 --> 836.76]  So then there's that date. Let's say March 1st for the sake of argument.
+[837.36 --> 840.74]  Then March 14th would be the review embargo, typically.
+[841.08 --> 843.06]  Or, yeah, like they ever give us two weeks, right?
+[843.28 --> 845.56]  Maybe like March 8th would be the review embargo.
+[845.70 --> 850.04]  That gives us a week to get back home, test it, formulate our opinions, and go,
+[850.16 --> 853.00]  Okay, that thing we talked about a week ago, here's the real skinny.
+[853.00 --> 857.66]  Now they're putting this additional day, a few days later, where they're going,
+[857.76 --> 859.42]  Okay, now you can publish your unboxing.
+[859.80 --> 861.10]  Here's the problem with that.
+[861.38 --> 865.32]  The unboxing contains no information that's new.
+[865.58 --> 865.78]  Yeah.
+[866.02 --> 867.92]  And especially when it's not even retail packaging.
+[868.26 --> 868.46]  Yeah.
+[868.62 --> 870.38]  It's just a physical showcase.
+[872.10 --> 873.02]  It's just a glamour video.
+[873.12 --> 877.74]  I think they should be paying for that because effectively what they're getting is marketing.
+[877.74 --> 885.78]  So when NVIDIA sent us an embargo for an unboxing of the 1080 Ti, I basically sent them back an angry email.
+[886.12 --> 887.24]  Went, this is BS.
+[887.58 --> 889.66]  You guys are asking for free advertising.
+[890.28 --> 890.68]  No.
+[892.06 --> 892.80]  NVIDIA, no.
+[893.28 --> 894.54]  NVIDIA, no.
+[894.58 --> 895.30]  Hard no, right?
+[895.30 --> 895.58]  Yeah.
+[895.74 --> 895.86]  Yeah.
+[896.04 --> 896.18]  Yeah.
+[896.64 --> 901.16]  So AMD went and pulled the same thing with Threadripper on the CPU side.
+[901.56 --> 907.10]  And then on the GPU side, honestly, this feels even worse in some way.
+[907.26 --> 915.80]  Because instead of asking for free marketing, what they've done is they've manipulated the conclusions of what is supposed to be an independent evaluation.
+[915.80 --> 916.60]  Yeah.
+[917.56 --> 919.96]  I mean, like you said, it's so close to the launch date.
+[920.68 --> 923.58]  I mean, our reviews are still not even cooled off yet.
+[924.20 --> 924.54]  Right, yeah.
+[924.54 --> 927.24]  And now the whole budget factor of it is just wrong.
+[928.06 --> 933.26]  And, like, I'm sure one, maybe two guys will make a video about that.
+[933.52 --> 933.80]  Right.
+[934.34 --> 934.54]  Yeah.
+[934.62 --> 936.26]  But there's only enough space for that.
+[936.52 --> 936.68]  Yeah.
+[936.68 --> 939.34]  Because, honestly, most people in the audience won't really care.
+[940.10 --> 944.00]  They won't care in terms of, like, oh, I'm going to watch all of these videos because I'm that interested.
+[944.16 --> 944.62]  You know what I mean?
+[944.70 --> 944.88]  Nope.
+[944.88 --> 949.02]  So then it's the ROI on making one of those isn't really there for the creators.
+[949.12 --> 950.40]  So then they're probably not going to make it.
+[950.58 --> 950.78]  Yep.
+[951.04 --> 956.44]  Is the rebate information available to the reviewers until a certain point?
+[956.46 --> 957.54]  I didn't know anything about no rebate.
+[957.88 --> 958.04]  Yeah.
+[958.12 --> 959.58]  I didn't know anything about it.
+[959.70 --> 962.36]  And I didn't know that it was going to be expiring after a week.
+[962.88 --> 963.18]  Yeah.
+[963.78 --> 967.02]  If they had been up front about that, then this is a totally different conversation.
+[967.02 --> 969.34]  And that's not even...
+[969.34 --> 973.44]  It doesn't even mention the fact that they only launched with bundles to begin with anyway.
+[973.74 --> 973.84]  Yeah.
+[973.84 --> 975.74]  It was really hard to find a card by itself.
+[976.12 --> 977.58]  The bundles were the only thing you could find.
+[977.62 --> 978.76]  All the retailers were doing bundles.
+[979.24 --> 979.40]  Yep.
+[979.46 --> 986.52]  And I mean, like, if we want to keep going on about grievances with the RX Vega launch, you know, when did you get your Vega 56?
+[989.46 --> 990.62]  Friday before the launch.
+[990.62 --> 991.04]  Yeah.
+[991.04 --> 994.86]  So we got it Friday morning before, what was it, a Monday 6 a.m. launch?
+[994.98 --> 995.06]  Yeah.
+[995.26 --> 999.10]  So if anyone from AMD is watching, I'm going to break this down for you.
+[999.72 --> 1003.02]  Saturday and Sunday are both considered weekends.
+[1003.02 --> 1011.06]  And it is fairly typical for people who have a life or a family or both.
+[1011.90 --> 1013.18]  I don't know if anyone has both.
+[1013.44 --> 1013.96]  Or none.
+[1013.96 --> 1016.80]  Can you have a life and a family?
+[1017.62 --> 1018.22]  Okay, whatever.
+[1018.32 --> 1018.80]  Not the point.
+[1018.86 --> 1019.12]  The point.
+[1019.48 --> 1027.38]  The point is that those two days are weekend days, which are generally considered the days that you spend having a life or having a family.
+[1027.76 --> 1028.00]  Right.
+[1028.44 --> 1030.06]  So then we have to make the choice, right?
+[1030.28 --> 1034.08]  So I have to tell my wife and my kids last minute, like, hey, I've got to work all day Saturday.
+[1034.28 --> 1036.98]  Oh, and by the way, I'm going to be leaving for a whole week right after that.
+[1037.54 --> 1039.56]  You know, so I lose a whole Saturday with them.
+[1039.92 --> 1040.12]  Yep.
+[1040.26 --> 1045.38]  And literally that was, we just added a whole sixth workday to the week just to handle that.
+[1045.38 --> 1048.64]  Well, you could just, you could just wait and you could, you could just publish.
+[1048.76 --> 1049.36]  So here's the thing.
+[1049.42 --> 1053.78]  We had Vega 64 like a week before and we had the drivers and everything.
+[1053.78 --> 1060.00]  And we were told that Vega 56 was going to be coming, was going to be lifted way later.
+[1060.00 --> 1060.20]  Right.
+[1060.52 --> 1061.56]  Like quite a bit later.
+[1061.74 --> 1064.80]  So we weren't, so we were like, we were like, yeah, everything's fine.
+[1064.92 --> 1067.94]  And then a car literally arrived here Friday morning.
+[1068.36 --> 1069.00]  A Vega 56.
+[1069.10 --> 1070.26]  And I was like, what are we supposed to do with this?
+[1070.26 --> 1071.98]  What did they message asking to prioritize it?
+[1072.90 --> 1073.98]  Did they for you?
+[1074.18 --> 1074.34]  Yeah.
+[1074.72 --> 1078.16]  Oh, I don't, I think we didn't get that until like even later in the day.
+[1078.34 --> 1080.74]  Yeah, no, the message was 56 is coming.
+[1081.12 --> 1082.64]  Please, please prioritize it if you can.
+[1082.64 --> 1083.88]  I got a new driver on the weekend.
+[1084.92 --> 1085.28]  Yeah.
+[1085.46 --> 1086.52]  No, no, you're absolutely right.
+[1086.62 --> 1090.84]  And remember guys, this is a 6 a.m. Pacific launch time.
+[1091.50 --> 1092.96]  So you have to be done the night before.
+[1092.96 --> 1097.80]  So you actually have to be rendering your video by like Sunday evening.
+[1099.08 --> 1100.44]  Because there might be errors.
+[1100.52 --> 1102.52]  Somebody thinks you have to correct the render might not work.
+[1102.68 --> 1104.92]  There might be edits you have to make because of a problem.
+[1105.26 --> 1107.80]  Terran's very intimately familiar with this.
+[1108.78 --> 1108.98]  Yeah.
+[1108.98 --> 1109.54]  So.
+[1110.54 --> 1113.34]  Well, it's kind of like right before the new CPU platform launches too, right?
+[1113.38 --> 1116.32]  How many BIOS updates are there like up to the day of launch?
+[1116.84 --> 1118.20]  I would be, it's really funny.
+[1118.28 --> 1122.90]  People are joking in the Twitch chat about like YouTube or union or something like that.
+[1123.64 --> 1125.38]  Here is an interesting thought.
+[1125.76 --> 1126.56]  Oh, I'm directly.
+[1126.56 --> 1133.60]  What if every tech guy on YouTube got together and said, no, screw your embargo.
+[1134.38 --> 1135.62]  We'll go when we're all ready.
+[1136.16 --> 1137.52]  I've kind of started doing that.
+[1138.24 --> 1140.88]  Vega is the first actual embargo date I've hit in a long time.
+[1141.02 --> 1141.90]  Threadriber I didn't hit.
+[1142.02 --> 1144.24]  Ryzen 3, 5, and 7 I didn't hit.
+[1144.36 --> 1144.96]  Intel I didn't hit.
+[1144.96 --> 1147.80]  We usually go for like two, three days after everybody publishes.
+[1147.80 --> 1151.44]  Two, three weeks sometimes because I'm tired of the situation like Linus is talking about
+[1151.44 --> 1153.32]  and what you're talking about with last minute drivers and stuff.
+[1153.40 --> 1156.04]  That I just wait for things to kind of settle and then I go into it.
+[1156.10 --> 1158.82]  Start making a like review embargo alliance.
+[1159.38 --> 1159.80]  Yeah.
+[1160.38 --> 1161.56]  Review embargo alliance.
+[1161.56 --> 1168.24]  Because like we had to pull in multiple people on a Saturday to come in basically because
+[1168.24 --> 1173.94]  the video was completely done by the time we had a Vega 56 in our hand.
+[1173.98 --> 1174.42]  By me.
+[1174.50 --> 1174.68]  Yeah.
+[1174.90 --> 1175.06]  Yeah.
+[1175.22 --> 1179.24]  So Terran's over there informing us that it was indeed him that edited it all too.
+[1179.38 --> 1179.52]  Yeah.
+[1179.66 --> 1181.86]  So now he has like that didn't get to go anywhere.
+[1182.40 --> 1185.46]  I've just gotten so sick and tired of all the last minute changes and the way it actually
+[1185.46 --> 1190.98]  changes the whole landscape that I've just decided like I'm no longer going to abide by the
+[1190.98 --> 1192.12]  embargo dates trying to hit them.
+[1192.22 --> 1193.22]  If I'm late, that's fine.
+[1193.30 --> 1195.22]  Enough of my audience is willing to wait and watch it anyway.
+[1195.46 --> 1195.64]  Yeah.
+[1195.74 --> 1198.68]  But I'm tired of feeling like I'm just an extension of someone else's marketing team.
+[1199.04 --> 1200.14]  So tell me this.
+[1201.70 --> 1202.28]  Oh shoot.
+[1202.32 --> 1204.10]  I completely lost track of what I was going to say there.
+[1204.46 --> 1204.92]  Bloody hell.
+[1205.10 --> 1205.34]  Sorry.
+[1205.40 --> 1206.10]  It's been a long week.
+[1207.74 --> 1208.46]  It has.
+[1208.62 --> 1210.44]  Something, something, embargo.
+[1210.74 --> 1211.86]  Something, embargo, union.
+[1212.50 --> 1212.90]  Yeah.
+[1213.32 --> 1214.76]  Something, something, et cetera.
+[1215.22 --> 1215.42]  Yeah.
+[1215.48 --> 1215.80]  Forget it.
+[1215.80 --> 1216.30]  I got nothing.
+[1216.30 --> 1219.86]  So basically I'm frustrated.
+[1220.08 --> 1220.54]  It's stupid.
+[1220.54 --> 1222.76]  And I've had enough of this crap.
+[1224.20 --> 1226.04]  Oh, now I'm really frustrated.
+[1226.18 --> 1229.20]  It was like a, it was like a great discussion thing.
+[1229.28 --> 1230.08]  I was really looking forward to what you guys were going to say.
+[1230.08 --> 1233.14]  To talk about something very temporarily while you can try to think about that.
+[1233.24 --> 1236.98]  Do you want to talk about what the, the, the premise or the rules were for the Scrappy
+[1236.98 --> 1237.22]  Yard Wars?
+[1237.30 --> 1237.48]  Yeah.
+[1237.56 --> 1237.98]  Go ahead.
+[1238.26 --> 1238.64]  Go ahead.
+[1238.68 --> 1238.80]  Hit it.
+[1238.80 --> 1242.76]  So for this Scrappy Yard Wars, the idea was instead of starting at the office and working
+[1242.76 --> 1246.14]  out of the office the entire time like we have in the past, we had two teams.
+[1246.24 --> 1247.14]  Should we say what the teams were?
+[1247.26 --> 1247.46]  Yeah.
+[1247.60 --> 1247.76]  Absolutely.
+[1248.02 --> 1248.74]  That's already public.
+[1248.74 --> 1249.74]  Oh, okay.
+[1249.80 --> 1249.96]  Yeah.
+[1250.02 --> 1250.92]  So, oh, right.
+[1250.96 --> 1251.60]  That makes sense.
+[1251.60 --> 1253.70]  So it was myself and Jay and Linus and Dimitri.
+[1253.94 --> 1258.56]  And we started out actually in the city of Vancouver, which is about an hour from here.
+[1258.56 --> 1261.74]  And we had a fair amount of cash.
+[1262.04 --> 1263.62]  I'm not going to say how much, but a fair amount of cash.
+[1263.68 --> 1267.26]  But some of that cash had to be allocated to food and water.
+[1268.04 --> 1269.32]  You had no budget for food.
+[1269.40 --> 1270.60]  You couldn't just buy food.
+[1270.86 --> 1273.70]  Normally in Scrappy Yard Wars, you could buy whatever food you wanted while you were going
+[1273.70 --> 1274.48]  with your own money.
+[1274.98 --> 1275.70]  But this time.
+[1275.90 --> 1276.76]  To be fair, it didn't have to.
+[1276.90 --> 1277.32]  It's just.
+[1277.74 --> 1279.06]  It's allocated from your budget.
+[1279.28 --> 1279.42]  Yeah.
+[1279.42 --> 1280.34]  Anything you spent.
+[1280.88 --> 1283.00]  Anything you needed to do at the day had to come out of that budget.
+[1283.10 --> 1285.92]  If you wanted to bike somewhere, you'd have to buy or rent a bike.
+[1286.04 --> 1290.26]  If you wanted to transit somewhere further out, you'd have to get a bus pass or a transit
+[1290.26 --> 1293.00]  pass of some sort or get a cab or whatever.
+[1293.78 --> 1294.36]  So, yeah.
+[1294.42 --> 1296.56]  It was a very interesting setup.
+[1296.80 --> 1301.54]  Both teams decided to go at it in certain ways that I'm not going to describe because
+[1301.54 --> 1303.06]  I'm worried about going too deeply into it.
+[1303.06 --> 1303.88]  But, yeah.
+[1303.96 --> 1304.92]  It was very interesting.
+[1305.06 --> 1306.78]  Quite a bit different from any other Scrapyard Wars.
+[1306.78 --> 1307.66]  I took a drink from an empty cup.
+[1309.68 --> 1313.08]  I'm just laughing at all the GetJ water comments because I took a drink from an empty cup.
+[1313.14 --> 1313.52]  I was like, oh.
+[1316.10 --> 1318.82]  I'm trying to make up for all the water that, you know, we needed.
+[1319.16 --> 1319.52]  Yes.
+[1319.82 --> 1320.12]  Yeah.
+[1320.36 --> 1321.38]  Don't spoil it.
+[1322.06 --> 1322.96]  Water doesn't spoil.
+[1324.14 --> 1324.80]  Spoil what?
+[1325.00 --> 1325.80]  No, the sp...
+[1325.80 --> 1327.08]  Don't say it.
+[1327.08 --> 1327.46]  You figured out what?
+[1327.46 --> 1328.00]  Don't say it.
+[1328.00 --> 1328.40]  Yeah.
+[1328.62 --> 1332.48]  I never figured out what it was, but I had really just wanted to talk a little bit more about
+[1332.48 --> 1336.48]  sort of how they're handling it and how it's...
+[1337.56 --> 1339.12]  We've had to do it before.
+[1339.34 --> 1340.64]  We've had to delay videos.
+[1340.80 --> 1345.82]  We've missed embargoes, which are fairly important, but we've found not the most important thing.
+[1345.90 --> 1348.82]  And sometimes it helps if there does happen to be a change.
+[1348.96 --> 1349.16]  Yeah.
+[1349.26 --> 1352.24]  Because then we can talk about the change and that one video will pick up traction.
+[1352.24 --> 1359.58]  But it's usually only us or only Jay or only Dimitri or only one type of creator that's
+[1359.58 --> 1361.48]  making that one delayed video.
+[1361.48 --> 1364.80]  I do wonder what the fallout would be.
+[1364.86 --> 1369.30]  Not really fallout, but what would the impact be if suddenly the entire tech scene on YouTube
+[1369.30 --> 1371.48]  just said, no, we're not going to hit your embargo.
+[1372.42 --> 1375.96]  We all collectively say, we'll wait two weeks to see where things land.
+[1376.44 --> 1378.62]  Because we'd still be in that window of AMD pulling this.
+[1378.78 --> 1379.96]  Or would they just postpone this?
+[1380.58 --> 1381.48]  I don't know.
+[1381.48 --> 1382.94]  I don't know how they'd react.
+[1383.00 --> 1384.76]  Because I told them, I think you guys should push it.
+[1386.20 --> 1388.18]  I think they might think initially.
+[1388.50 --> 1389.82]  Especially something like NVIDIA, right?
+[1389.82 --> 1391.74]  They might think that there's not going to be any impact whatsoever.
+[1392.24 --> 1394.86]  But that'd be an interesting metric to see how it actually plays out.
+[1394.94 --> 1397.04]  I don't think NVIDIA gives two craps what any of us think.
+[1397.34 --> 1397.88]  I think you're right.
+[1397.96 --> 1398.80]  To be perfectly honest.
+[1399.66 --> 1402.64]  It's really funny because I think you take this somewhat too.
+[1402.78 --> 1406.18]  But we take flack all the time for being in NVIDIA's pocket or whatever else.
+[1406.18 --> 1406.48]  Oh, somewhat?
+[1406.82 --> 1407.46]  I think somewhat?
+[1407.60 --> 1407.82]  Yeah.
+[1407.92 --> 1408.34]  Yeah, no.
+[1408.70 --> 1410.30]  I don't know if you get it as bad as we do.
+[1410.50 --> 1412.18]  Wensho is brought to you by NVIDIA.
+[1412.96 --> 1413.68]  Yeah, well.
+[1413.78 --> 1414.66]  According to the audience, anyway.
+[1414.66 --> 1421.78]  So, like, it's one of those things where, like, you know, I've butted heads with them a fair number of times.
+[1422.48 --> 1422.84]  Recently.
+[1423.56 --> 1427.88]  More often than I, like, go to a nice dinner and, you know, talk shop.
+[1429.10 --> 1432.82]  It's been pretty tough lately, actually.
+[1433.96 --> 1434.44]  All right.
+[1434.70 --> 1436.48]  So let's have a look at...
+[1436.48 --> 1437.68]  We didn't get Titan XP.
+[1438.64 --> 1439.12]  Neither did I.
+[1439.42 --> 1440.30]  Until, like, now?
+[1440.54 --> 1441.44]  Yeah, we have one now.
+[1441.58 --> 1441.82]  Yeah.
+[1442.02 --> 1443.58]  Because they were like, oh, what, you guys don't have one?
+[1444.06 --> 1444.70]  I was like, no?
+[1444.88 --> 1446.54]  I asked for one for Terry Crews and they said no.
+[1447.22 --> 1447.54]  Seriously?
+[1447.54 --> 1447.78]  What?
+[1448.04 --> 1453.18]  They turned me down until I made that video, like, talking crap about Titan XP, which would have gone out regardless.
+[1453.38 --> 1457.36]  Because I think it's a really stupid card based on, like, the way they're locking down the Kuda cores.
+[1457.56 --> 1459.78]  And they're unlocking it multiple times in the same generation.
+[1460.58 --> 1463.94]  But it was after that that they were like, two of them just showed up.
+[1464.62 --> 1464.98]  Right.
+[1465.14 --> 1465.34]  Right?
+[1465.46 --> 1466.82]  So they hand-delivered them.
+[1468.04 --> 1468.36]  Yeah.
+[1468.54 --> 1469.50]  I was like, they're not even for me.
+[1469.56 --> 1470.22]  I don't even care.
+[1470.46 --> 1470.68]  Right?
+[1470.74 --> 1471.52]  They're not for me.
+[1471.52 --> 1476.52]  And, like, this is a stupid thing on both the vendor side and the audience side.
+[1477.12 --> 1481.98]  Do you guys honestly think that Jay can be bought with a graphics card?
+[1482.14 --> 1483.14]  That doesn't pay my lease.
+[1484.18 --> 1486.50]  That doesn't pay for my employee, my insurance.
+[1486.84 --> 1489.24]  Do you need more graphics cards, Jay?
+[1489.74 --> 1490.96]  It's pretty obvious I don't sell them.
+[1491.16 --> 1492.76]  I mean, you can see the shop, you know.
+[1493.26 --> 1495.36]  No, they do not run my business.
+[1495.36 --> 1497.62]  In fact, I started buying more stuff than ever now.
+[1498.26 --> 1498.66]  I've noticed that.
+[1498.72 --> 1501.34]  You were talking about buying lots of stuff yourself.
+[1502.82 --> 1503.82]  It's just easier.
+[1504.70 --> 1505.58]  And it's not...
+[1505.58 --> 1506.02]  You can get it right away.
+[1506.16 --> 1506.72]  You don't have to...
+[1506.72 --> 1506.86]  Yeah.
+[1507.32 --> 1507.56]  Yep.
+[1508.36 --> 1512.06]  And now with your Scrapyard War experience, you can buy more stuff, too.
+[1512.52 --> 1514.40]  With someone else's money, which is great.
+[1514.40 --> 1522.46]  Speaking of someone else's money, the show today is brought to you by Cable Mod.
+[1522.88 --> 1523.28]  Yeah.
+[1524.30 --> 1525.82]  We've got some stuff over there.
+[1525.82 --> 1526.18]  Yeah.
+[1526.38 --> 1526.82]  Okay.
+[1527.58 --> 1534.02]  So Cable Mod now has sleeving for AIOs.
+[1534.24 --> 1534.96]  Have you guys seen this?
+[1535.06 --> 1535.80]  Have you heard about this?
+[1535.88 --> 1535.98]  Yeah.
+[1536.00 --> 1536.50]  Oh, okay.
+[1536.50 --> 1538.26]  I did a great review that was very well received.
+[1538.44 --> 1538.96]  Oh, okay.
+[1539.18 --> 1539.88]  I didn't watch it.
+[1540.12 --> 1540.54]  I know you didn't.
+[1540.58 --> 1541.34]  I didn't watch it either.
+[1541.34 --> 1548.46]  So basically, you buy your AIO, and then with no actual modification required, you guys
+[1548.46 --> 1550.34]  can go watch Jay's video, because we didn't review them.
+[1551.36 --> 1552.04]  I'm trying to finger traps.
+[1552.26 --> 1552.86]  But there you go.
+[1552.96 --> 1556.52]  You just kind of unfold it, and then you don't have to take off the tubing or anything like
+[1556.52 --> 1556.66]  that.
+[1556.70 --> 1562.40]  You just wrap it around, and you end up with that nice sleeved look on your AIO cooler tubes,
+[1562.40 --> 1565.74]  and matches your cabling, assuming you went and bought Cable Mod cabling.
+[1566.38 --> 1568.18]  And that's pretty much it.
+[1568.22 --> 1569.90]  They've got little finishing pieces for the end.
+[1569.90 --> 1571.46]  So they look nice and tidy.
+[1572.34 --> 1574.16]  And what else can I really say about it?
+[1574.18 --> 1575.46]  I mean, it's a pretty simple idea.
+[1575.58 --> 1576.54]  It just took someone to do it.
+[1576.68 --> 1579.12]  The colors do specifically match their cable sleeving.
+[1579.68 --> 1580.84]  So they're perfectly matched for that.
+[1581.02 --> 1582.88]  So they've got lots and lots of different colors.
+[1582.96 --> 1584.16]  You guys can go check them out.
+[1584.24 --> 1585.02]  Oh, that's cool.
+[1585.14 --> 1588.24]  They also just launched their sleeving kits on Amazon.
+[1588.64 --> 1591.08]  So we've got a link in the video description for that.
+[1591.08 --> 1593.34]  But basically, it's a...
+[1593.34 --> 1594.08]  Hold on a second.
+[1594.80 --> 1596.88]  Can I even figure out how to do this on a Mac?
+[1597.78 --> 1598.44]  Holy crap.
+[1598.44 --> 1598.80]  What are you trying to do?
+[1598.80 --> 1600.30]  You can't right click.
+[1600.78 --> 1601.82]  It's two finger click.
+[1601.88 --> 1602.10]  Copy.
+[1602.22 --> 1603.00]  You have to like...
+[1603.00 --> 1603.66]  Two finger tap.
+[1603.76 --> 1604.64]  Two finger tap.
+[1604.94 --> 1605.74]  That took me a while.
+[1605.74 --> 1606.82]  Also, I'm not signed in.
+[1606.94 --> 1607.68]  So forget it.
+[1607.88 --> 1609.10]  The link will be below the video.
+[1609.16 --> 1609.70]  I'll get it.
+[1610.46 --> 1611.28]  All right.
+[1611.52 --> 1613.06]  What else we got here?
+[1613.18 --> 1614.36]  Oh, yes.
+[1615.04 --> 1615.70]  Today's show is...
+[1615.70 --> 1616.34]  Are you getting the challenge?
+[1616.52 --> 1618.74]  ...also brought to you by...
+[1620.18 --> 1621.06]  G Fuel.
+[1621.50 --> 1622.08]  That's right.
+[1622.18 --> 1624.74]  The same G Fuel that we were...
+[1624.74 --> 1626.66]  Check it out.
+[1627.38 --> 1630.82]  That right there is concentrated blue energy.
+[1630.82 --> 1639.42]  G Fuel powers the editing of many of our videos and the writing of most episodes of Fast as possible around here.
+[1639.58 --> 1645.12]  We actually consume as an office an inordinate amount of G Fuel.
+[1646.04 --> 1651.16]  So basically how it works is you choose your fuel, select your drink mix from over...
+[1651.16 --> 1651.88]  Excuse me.
+[1651.96 --> 1652.92]  From 18 flavors.
+[1653.30 --> 1654.62]  They ship it directly to you.
+[1654.78 --> 1655.78]  You just add water.
+[1655.88 --> 1659.56]  So you mix one serving into a glass or shaker cup filled with 16 ounces of water.
+[1659.56 --> 1660.96]  And enjoy.
+[1661.10 --> 1661.92]  It comes in tubs.
+[1663.32 --> 1664.20]  Just like that.
+[1664.52 --> 1665.68]  Boxes containing packs.
+[1665.90 --> 1668.62]  Or just the little packs themselves.
+[1669.26 --> 1669.70]  And then...
+[1669.70 --> 1671.12]  Who put this note in here?
+[1671.32 --> 1674.22]  A bunch of the people here at the office pretty much live off of it.
+[1674.98 --> 1675.92]  So what, John?
+[1676.38 --> 1677.16]  John for sure.
+[1677.24 --> 1678.66]  I know Colton drinks a lot as well.
+[1678.66 --> 1679.64]  Colton drinks a lot of it.
+[1679.68 --> 1681.98]  I've seen a bunch in the editing den, but I'm not entirely sure who...
+[1681.98 --> 1682.88]  Yeah, who drinks it in there though?
+[1682.88 --> 1683.38]  I'm not sure.
+[1683.70 --> 1684.60]  I think Ed does.
+[1684.76 --> 1685.92]  I wouldn't be surprised at all if he does.
+[1685.92 --> 1688.52]  I'm pretty sure Ed consumes copious amounts of it.
+[1689.56 --> 1691.26]  So there you have it.
+[1691.32 --> 1694.52]  Their goal was to create an alternative to sugar loaded canned energy drinks.
+[1694.94 --> 1696.72]  And now you can have these packets.
+[1696.84 --> 1697.64]  You mix them with water.
+[1697.88 --> 1699.38]  And bippity bop, you're ready to go.
+[1699.60 --> 1706.78]  So you can save 40% until August 21st using offer code Linus at the link that I am definitely
+[1706.78 --> 1710.56]  going to put right here, right now over at gfuel.com.
+[1710.56 --> 1713.86]  All right, our last sponsor.
+[1714.94 --> 1716.68]  Go team Salad!
+[1718.00 --> 1719.46]  Have you guys tried Savage Turkey?
+[1719.60 --> 1720.58]  Go team Salad.
+[1720.68 --> 1721.50]  Do you guys want to try it?
+[1721.50 --> 1722.12]  You don't have to.
+[1722.20 --> 1723.48]  This is like my sponsor spot.
+[1723.66 --> 1724.08]  It's the spicy.
+[1724.32 --> 1725.14]  They're spicy.
+[1725.46 --> 1726.94]  Can I get more water first?
+[1727.20 --> 1727.88]  Ed, are you watching?
+[1727.88 --> 1730.02]  Yeah, you can get some more water.
+[1730.06 --> 1731.64]  I will personally go get you water.
+[1732.84 --> 1733.26]  Okay.
+[1733.26 --> 1733.92]  He's going to go.
+[1734.12 --> 1735.18]  No, I want Linus to do it now.
+[1735.22 --> 1735.70]  He said he would.
+[1735.76 --> 1736.34]  No, I'll do it.
+[1736.34 --> 1736.66]  I'll do it.
+[1737.06 --> 1737.38]  Okay.
+[1737.58 --> 1739.84]  I got Linus to get up and leave his own show to get me water.
+[1739.96 --> 1740.64]  That's a win.
+[1740.74 --> 1741.56]  So we got the Reaper.
+[1742.32 --> 1743.52]  We got the Mojo.
+[1743.52 --> 1744.44]  Okay, so if you're...
+[1744.44 --> 1746.46]  I've been informed this is Mojo, not Mojo.
+[1746.66 --> 1746.98]  Mojo.
+[1747.14 --> 1747.32]  Mojo.
+[1747.32 --> 1753.30]  If you're like into spicy but not an insane amount of spicy, like you don't want your face to
+[1753.30 --> 1755.74]  literally melt but you're into spicy, I like Mojo.
+[1755.74 --> 1758.84]  I think people have been eating these because they're like all almost empty.
+[1759.16 --> 1759.30]  Yeah.
+[1759.86 --> 1762.46]  Everyone's just like, oh yeah, I'll just like eat one.
+[1762.46 --> 1762.82]  Ghost pepper?
+[1762.82 --> 1763.24]  No one will know this.
+[1763.24 --> 1763.66]  That's really hot one.
+[1763.98 --> 1766.72]  That's pretty hot and Reaper I think is even hotter.
+[1766.82 --> 1768.50]  Yeah, Reaper is the crazy one.
+[1768.84 --> 1770.32]  Ghost pepper is like pretty damn hot.
+[1770.64 --> 1771.28]  Mojo is on the...
+[1771.28 --> 1771.96]  This is less hot.
+[1771.96 --> 1772.64]  Sorry, I can be good to.
+[1772.72 --> 1774.10]  This is like a three.
+[1774.50 --> 1776.76]  So it's like spicy and it'll kick.
+[1777.38 --> 1778.66]  So the Reaper is a five.
+[1778.80 --> 1780.06]  It like makes its own level.
+[1780.74 --> 1782.02]  Ghost pepper is a four.
+[1782.34 --> 1783.88]  Okay, this one's just delicious.
+[1783.88 --> 1787.26]  If you guys just want something tasty before you melt your taste buds off.
+[1787.54 --> 1787.86]  What is this?
+[1787.94 --> 1788.20]  Mojo.
+[1788.46 --> 1789.56]  This is only a one.
+[1790.16 --> 1791.06]  So if you want to try a piece.
+[1791.62 --> 1792.56]  So Savage Jerky.
+[1792.82 --> 1795.72]  They're jerky's made with the best ingredients without nitrates or preservatives.
+[1795.86 --> 1798.26]  The goal was to create a snack that was full of flavor and spice.
+[1798.38 --> 1799.20]  That's not bad for you.
+[1799.58 --> 1801.12]  They've got 13 different flavors.
+[1801.42 --> 1805.98]  My personal favorites are Mojo as well as the Maple Buffalo Bacon.
+[1805.98 --> 1811.16]  And some of the taste bud melty ones are actually pretty darn good.
+[1811.24 --> 1817.32]  They've got jerky's made of ghost pepper as well as Carolina Reapers.
+[1817.70 --> 1824.04]  And you can use offer code LTT to save 10% over at savagejerky.com.
+[1824.04 --> 1826.28]  All right, I will go get you some water.
+[1826.36 --> 1826.70]  Thank you, sir.
+[1826.86 --> 1829.28]  And you go ahead and pick one of those if you want.
+[1829.34 --> 1831.06]  I'm not going to make you do it, though, because they're...
+[1831.06 --> 1832.08]  Like my girlfriend would die.
+[1832.16 --> 1833.24]  Savage is right in the name.
+[1833.30 --> 1833.58]  Oh, really?
+[1833.68 --> 1834.34]  This is too spicy?
+[1834.50 --> 1837.26]  Okay, you've got a giant piece in there.
+[1837.32 --> 1837.92]  I think you'll be good.
+[1838.00 --> 1838.58]  I love habanero.
+[1839.02 --> 1839.92]  Yeah, I think you'll be good.
+[1840.34 --> 1840.50]  Yeah.
+[1840.90 --> 1841.42]  Will I be good?
+[1841.42 --> 1843.92]  If you don't like spice, don't eat that one.
+[1844.06 --> 1845.46]  But if you like spice, it's good.
+[1845.62 --> 1846.60]  The Mojo one's not hot.
+[1847.12 --> 1847.32]  No.
+[1847.82 --> 1848.72]  The Mojo one's a one.
+[1848.90 --> 1850.58]  It's like it's not even supposed to be hot.
+[1850.58 --> 1855.24]  Good?
+[1855.38 --> 1855.52]  Yeah.
+[1855.80 --> 1855.94]  Yeah.
+[1856.04 --> 1856.90]  Give me two minutes.
+[1857.00 --> 1857.50]  I'll be sweating.
+[1859.66 --> 1861.92]  Yeah, the Reaper's a bit of a kick.
+[1862.10 --> 1863.02]  That one kind of sucks.
+[1863.22 --> 1863.86]  That's a five.
+[1864.00 --> 1866.32]  Sucks in terms of like it hurts.
+[1866.48 --> 1867.86]  It tastes good, to be fair.
+[1868.62 --> 1870.00]  Don't they don't like it?
+[1870.00 --> 1871.92]  It's like the powder.
+[1872.12 --> 1873.18]  Like sometimes you breathe the powder.
+[1873.58 --> 1873.70]  Yeah.
+[1873.98 --> 1875.32]  But no, flavor's really good.
+[1875.40 --> 1876.14]  Because they try to...
+[1876.14 --> 1879.58]  They go pretty hard with the flavor stuff, which I like for beef jerky.
+[1879.58 --> 1881.68]  I think that's one of the reasons why I like Mojo so much.
+[1882.06 --> 1882.90]  I'm cool with hot.
+[1884.74 --> 1885.06]  Yeah.
+[1885.54 --> 1887.20]  No, it's not too hot, I swear.
+[1888.08 --> 1889.42]  I'm cool with hot if it has flavor.
+[1889.90 --> 1891.42]  But hot for the sake of hot, there's no point.
+[1891.42 --> 1892.24]  No, I'm the same way.
+[1892.34 --> 1892.48]  Yeah.
+[1892.72 --> 1895.10]  I can deal with a fair amount of spice, but I only do it because I like the taste.
+[1895.10 --> 1897.14]  And it's not even like water helps with habanero.
+[1897.30 --> 1897.80]  I'm just thirsty.
+[1897.96 --> 1898.12]  Yeah.
+[1898.74 --> 1899.12]  All right.
+[1899.20 --> 1900.78]  I'm going to drop a bomb on you guys.
+[1900.96 --> 1904.14]  This was originally posted by Numlock21 on the forum.
+[1904.28 --> 1906.76]  The original article here is from videocards.com.
+[1906.84 --> 1907.98]  So I take it with a grain of salt.
+[1907.98 --> 1918.96]  So, Intel claims the Core i7 8700K will be 11% faster than the 7700K.
+[1919.60 --> 1921.64]  And here's what I want to know.
+[1922.22 --> 1924.04]  Because this is crazy.
+[1924.04 --> 1928.82]  Well, it is, to be fair, a whole entire 1% higher than I would have guessed.
+[1929.04 --> 1930.30]  This is what I want to know.
+[1930.30 --> 1935.50]  Who needed Intel to claim this to know that this was coming?
+[1935.60 --> 1935.84]  Yeah.
+[1936.86 --> 1943.64]  I mean, this is literally what we've been complaining about.
+[1943.84 --> 1945.04]  Does this mean that they're not scared?
+[1946.44 --> 1946.84]  Okay.
+[1946.96 --> 1947.60]  So here's the thing.
+[1947.72 --> 1948.38]  So there's two things.
+[1948.46 --> 1953.68]  First of all, the rumors are also that Coffee Lake is going to be available in six core configurations.
+[1953.68 --> 1955.52]  Which would legit be good.
+[1955.84 --> 1956.12]  Okay.
+[1956.54 --> 1957.76]  So if they're 10...
+[1957.76 --> 1959.24]  So they're keeping their 10% and adding cores.
+[1959.44 --> 1968.68]  If they're 10% faster in terms of IPC and they're adding 50% more cores, then I'm looking at this going...
+[1970.04 --> 1970.96]  That's a good jump.
+[1971.08 --> 1975.78]  Thank you for what should have happened two years ago, but okay.
+[1976.12 --> 1976.38]  Yeah.
+[1977.24 --> 1977.58]  Fine.
+[1978.36 --> 1978.98]  Thank you.
+[1979.42 --> 1987.96]  I mean, I still appreciate them doing something good, even if it was a long time coming and should have happened before.
+[1988.16 --> 1990.20]  So the 8700K is rumored to be the six core.
+[1990.48 --> 1990.84]  Excuse me.
+[1990.84 --> 1996.84]  It's supposed to be six core, 12 thread, with a single threaded boost over the 7700K of about 11%.
+[1997.48 --> 2000.16]  Yet there'll still be an i5 on X299 at that time.
+[2002.68 --> 2004.60]  Because X299s aren't going to be refreshed by then.
+[2004.60 --> 2005.90]  So, yeah.
+[2006.04 --> 2008.26]  I mean, this is yet another reason.
+[2008.40 --> 2009.42]  I mean, you know...
+[2009.42 --> 2009.68]  Okay.
+[2010.04 --> 2011.08]  You know my feelings.
+[2011.36 --> 2015.44]  I know your feelings on the 7740 and the 7640.
+[2015.78 --> 2019.02]  Those two SKUs make no sense at all.
+[2019.12 --> 2019.24]  Yep.
+[2019.46 --> 2022.58]  And when Coffee Lake launches, those SKUs...
+[2022.58 --> 2028.62]  Remember, the whole point of the high-end desktop platform is supposed to be mucho memory bandwidth,
+[2029.40 --> 2033.16]  mucho PCIe lanes, and mucho processing cores.
+[2033.16 --> 2034.30]  And moho jerky.
+[2034.60 --> 2037.92]  Those chips have none of those things.
+[2038.52 --> 2043.16]  They have beefed up power delivery, so theoretically you can overclock them a little higher.
+[2043.24 --> 2044.02]  They're still dual core.
+[2044.14 --> 2048.42]  They still have the mainstream platform number of PCIe lanes, and they're still quad core processors.
+[2048.42 --> 2051.14]  And they're pulling significantly more power than their mainstream counterparts.
+[2051.14 --> 2055.92]  And now, compared to the mainstream platform that's coming...
+[2055.92 --> 2056.58]  Oh, I don't know.
+[2056.66 --> 2056.80]  What?
+[2057.72 --> 2059.24]  It's rumored to be launching what?
+[2059.70 --> 2067.46]  So it would be three months later, if the rumors are true, it will be two generations behind architecturally.
+[2067.82 --> 2068.32]  Two!
+[2068.32 --> 2068.74]  Yeah.
+[2068.74 --> 2074.72]  And that might only be 10% per generation, or 8% or whatever.
+[2074.72 --> 2078.32]  But still, two generations times 10% is not complicated, Matt.
+[2078.38 --> 2079.18]  That's 20%.
+[2079.18 --> 2079.50]  Yeah.
+[2079.50 --> 2082.82]  So if you had a 5 gigahertz processor, let's say you're an overclocker...
+[2082.82 --> 2083.82]  It's actually better than that.
+[2083.82 --> 2085.90]  It's 10% on top of 10%.
+[2085.90 --> 2086.44]  That's right.
+[2086.78 --> 2088.64]  So let's say you're an overclocker.
+[2088.90 --> 2090.18]  You get to 5 gigahertz.
+[2090.68 --> 2098.54]  We're talking about now, on this high-end platform, you would be equivalent to the mainstream's performance at what?
+[2098.60 --> 2099.48]  Like 4 gigahertz?
+[2099.66 --> 2099.90]  Right.
+[2099.90 --> 2104.04]  Well, that's not good!
+[2105.80 --> 2108.90]  Why did I just go spend $350 on a motherboard?
+[2109.12 --> 2109.36]  Intel?
+[2110.10 --> 2114.70]  Because they're hoping you're going to just step forward, or future compatibility with more expensive bigger.
+[2115.04 --> 2119.02]  But why would you still spend, you know, almost $400 on that CPU if you're getting the i7?
+[2119.02 --> 2119.56]  That's the thing.
+[2119.70 --> 2123.26]  It's like, I get that argument if it's like a Pentium dual core or something.
+[2123.38 --> 2125.50]  And that's devil's advocate argument as far as I'm concerned.
+[2125.60 --> 2125.72]  Right?
+[2126.38 --> 2128.94]  Like, I've seen that before.
+[2128.94 --> 2131.42]  Like Pentium Anniversary Edition, where we're talking $100 chip.
+[2131.56 --> 2131.74]  Right.
+[2131.98 --> 2134.78]  You buy something to get running today.
+[2135.00 --> 2136.98]  You hope it doesn't drop in value too much.
+[2137.06 --> 2137.26]  You flip.
+[2137.32 --> 2141.08]  Because a $100 CPU, if it drops in value 20%, we're talking $20.
+[2141.48 --> 2141.74]  Yeah.
+[2142.34 --> 2142.58]  Right?
+[2142.80 --> 2149.08]  And if you've managed to save up your $400 or $500 or whatever you need for an 8-core processor by that point,
+[2149.66 --> 2152.14]  then surely the $20 is not that big of a deal.
+[2152.24 --> 2153.12]  Some time has passed.
+[2153.48 --> 2154.46]  I get that logic.
+[2154.46 --> 2159.56]  But here we're talking about a $300 plus processor that you're buying as a placeholder.
+[2160.10 --> 2160.82]  Doesn't make sense.
+[2160.88 --> 2163.80]  Do you guys buy a $300 processor as a placeholder in the socket?
+[2164.68 --> 2167.34]  I don't really buy processors as placeholders.
+[2168.22 --> 2168.74]  Right.
+[2169.16 --> 2171.56]  And we never recommend that.
+[2171.66 --> 2171.88]  No.
+[2172.54 --> 2174.02]  Do you guys ever recommend that?
+[2174.36 --> 2174.52]  No.
+[2174.52 --> 2176.92]  Buy hardware that isn't what you actually need?
+[2176.92 --> 2179.62]  And then buy something else later?
+[2180.12 --> 2180.24]  Yeah.
+[2180.38 --> 2180.42]  No.
+[2180.56 --> 2184.58]  Unless you're a crazy Craigslist or use site junkie.
+[2185.38 --> 2188.20]  Because you've done this kind of stuff, but you're constantly flipping things.
+[2188.30 --> 2191.92]  So you were never planning on holding it for more than possibly even two weeks.
+[2192.12 --> 2194.30]  But even then, you're usually not buying new anyway.
+[2194.44 --> 2194.74]  That's right.
+[2194.84 --> 2194.86]  No.
+[2195.02 --> 2195.42]  Yeah.
+[2195.62 --> 2195.90]  Exactly.
+[2196.24 --> 2197.40]  So it's not even applicable.
+[2197.40 --> 2208.30]  So I could see buying a 7740 from some idiot who bought it, realized that this was really stupid, and then is like, oh crap, this thing isn't worth much.
+[2208.42 --> 2209.98]  I guess I'll just take a bath on it.
+[2210.36 --> 2211.78]  I could buy from that guy.
+[2211.92 --> 2212.10]  Yeah.
+[2212.36 --> 2219.68]  And then I do buy myself a few months to save up, and I can probably flip it for pretty close to what I paid, but I wouldn't buy something like that new.
+[2220.00 --> 2220.22]  No.
+[2220.22 --> 2225.34]  That's why I threw mine in an HTPC, just because I was like, what else am I going to do with this?
+[2225.40 --> 2229.86]  Oh, I'll take the chip that doesn't make sense and put it in a form factor that doesn't make sense for an X299 platform to begin with.
+[2230.00 --> 2231.32]  So that my whole video was based on that.
+[2233.22 --> 2235.94]  I just figured we'd put nonsense on top of nonsense.
+[2236.80 --> 2238.68]  And then I called it my VR rig on top of that.
+[2238.82 --> 2239.30]  There you go.
+[2239.66 --> 2240.36]  Oh my gosh.
+[2240.36 --> 2241.88]  It's got a VR capable sticker.
+[2242.12 --> 2242.54]  Put it on.
+[2243.46 --> 2248.00]  We've got to get, as reviewers, we need to get our own VR capable stickers and just start putting them on every single...
+[2248.00 --> 2249.50]  It's a watermark on the video channel.
+[2249.50 --> 2250.38]  Oh, perfect.
+[2250.48 --> 2250.88]  VR ready.
+[2250.98 --> 2252.18]  This video is VR ready.
+[2252.24 --> 2252.54]  Yes.
+[2252.84 --> 2253.50]  But it's really not.
+[2253.64 --> 2255.46]  Well, you could technically if you put it in theater mode.
+[2255.54 --> 2255.92]  Oh, true.
+[2256.06 --> 2257.16]  Yeah, just watch it in VR theater.
+[2257.34 --> 2257.64]  Yes.
+[2258.24 --> 2258.80]  Figured out.
+[2259.12 --> 2259.68]  VR ready.
+[2260.28 --> 2261.10]  This is VR ready.
+[2262.30 --> 2263.42]  Life is VR ready.
+[2263.62 --> 2263.88]  Oh.
+[2264.70 --> 2265.06]  Right?
+[2265.34 --> 2270.64]  Yeah, because you could buy an Oculus or anything else in life, which means that it's VR ready.
+[2270.64 --> 2273.28]  I was going with Sony VR or whatever it is.
+[2273.40 --> 2273.86]  Oh, yeah.
+[2274.16 --> 2274.84]  Also that.
+[2276.92 --> 2277.36]  What?
+[2278.42 --> 2278.86]  Yeah.
+[2278.86 --> 2278.94]  Yeah.
+[2279.38 --> 2279.78]  Okay.
+[2280.14 --> 2282.70]  So the original article here is from Ars Technica.
+[2282.88 --> 2286.34]  I've been completely out of the loop this week.
+[2286.88 --> 2287.24]  So I had no idea.
+[2287.24 --> 2288.06]  Well, this isn't that crazy.
+[2288.78 --> 2290.44]  I can kind of explain why.
+[2290.66 --> 2293.86]  So Apple is investing a huge amount.
+[2294.86 --> 2297.58]  It says they're going all in, but Apple has a lot of money.
+[2297.66 --> 2299.70]  Yeah, billion dollars is not all in with Apple.
+[2299.84 --> 2300.50]  So not at all.
+[2300.58 --> 2300.94]  Just saying.
+[2300.94 --> 2304.42]  Um, but they're, they're putting a billion dollar budget to Apple shows.
+[2304.42 --> 2310.24]  Uh, so they're doing like the, the first original series from them was Planet of the Apps and Carpool Karaoke.
+[2310.40 --> 2312.40]  And they're doing more, but this isn't that surprising.
+[2313.00 --> 2315.42]  Netflix is going really hardcore into original content.
+[2315.42 --> 2319.70]  They're going to be putting these shows on the Apple music thing.
+[2319.70 --> 2321.54]  So they probably need to rename that.
+[2321.76 --> 2332.84]  But oh, well, um, a lot of these big companies that are trying to serve video are going into original content because licensing, especially from like big movies and big shows.
+[2332.84 --> 2337.52]  If you want to have all of them is obscenely prohibitively expensive.
+[2337.52 --> 2339.36]  And this is something you and I have discussed.
+[2339.58 --> 2346.48]  Um, apparently there isn't a video streaming platform online, like a significant one.
+[2346.58 --> 2348.42]  I mean, that's losing money.
+[2348.74 --> 2348.82]  Yeah.
+[2349.72 --> 2352.92]  And you know, now that we are really digging into.
+[2353.18 --> 2356.88]  Well, sometimes they're parts of bigger companies and then they don't care that they're not losing money.
+[2357.14 --> 2359.06]  Or it's offset by some other aspect of the business.
+[2359.24 --> 2359.60]  Exactly.
+[2359.70 --> 2359.88]  Yeah.
+[2359.88 --> 2373.30]  But the actual video streaming division, whether we're talking YouTube, um, Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, Twitch, as far as we can tell, they're all losing money.
+[2373.54 --> 2377.96]  And like hearing from certain people that work at some of those companies, not all of them, but some of those companies.
+[2377.96 --> 2381.98]  We know people that, I think we know at least someone at pretty much all of them.
+[2382.18 --> 2382.32]  Yeah.
+[2383.44 --> 2388.98]  Which makes moves like Disney pulling all of their movies off of Netflix to have their own streaming service just really make you scratch your head.
+[2388.98 --> 2393.04]  I mean, I know Disney has Disney money to spend, but still no company wants to bleed money.
+[2393.20 --> 2397.30]  But they already have a website and they've already been streaming their own video, to be fair.
+[2397.44 --> 2398.54]  So they just have to scale up.
+[2398.56 --> 2401.06]  Yeah, but you could get their stuff in other places now.
+[2401.32 --> 2403.56]  Their video is going to be available only on one source.
+[2403.76 --> 2405.58]  So they're going to have to probably upscale anyway.
+[2405.80 --> 2407.62]  And that way they can control the pricing too.
+[2407.74 --> 2408.62]  They can decide.
+[2408.62 --> 2410.58]  And they can control the content that goes around it.
+[2410.72 --> 2411.78]  Disney cares about that a lot.
+[2411.94 --> 2412.48]  Yeah, they do.
+[2412.48 --> 2418.34]  And also users are already getting familiar with needing to get their hands into so many other platforms.
+[2418.54 --> 2418.64]  Yeah.
+[2418.88 --> 2421.98]  And you know how we were talking about there's going to be sites that pop up that bring everything together?
+[2422.14 --> 2422.76]  They already exist.
+[2423.30 --> 2423.90]  All right.
+[2423.98 --> 2424.40]  Well, there you go.
+[2424.40 --> 2424.80]  They're already a thing.
+[2425.24 --> 2425.36]  Yeah.
+[2425.92 --> 2429.12]  So you just kind of like log in with all your logins there and then it just becomes a single hub.
+[2429.14 --> 2430.44]  It becomes one viewing site.
+[2431.46 --> 2431.86]  Yeah.
+[2432.18 --> 2434.52]  So like I got tons of tweets about that last time.
+[2434.58 --> 2434.72]  Yeah.
+[2434.72 --> 2435.84]  I think they're actually, you know what?
+[2435.88 --> 2440.84]  I feel really stupid now because I know Samsung had a thing built into their smart TVs like a while back.
+[2440.84 --> 2441.84]  That mixes it all together.
+[2441.98 --> 2443.12]  For years that actually just.
+[2443.12 --> 2444.66]  It's just a browser of the other browsers.
+[2444.80 --> 2445.00]  Yeah.
+[2445.08 --> 2449.02]  It just goes and finds and it can even browse rental services like Google Play.
+[2449.10 --> 2449.56]  Oh, that's neat.
+[2449.90 --> 2453.74]  You know what's really funny is on the subject of Apple doing their own original programming
+[2453.74 --> 2457.22]  and like they should probably change the name of like iTunes now.
+[2457.22 --> 2464.90]  I gave Google so much crap about Google Play Store back when they did it.
+[2465.34 --> 2468.16]  Now it totally makes sense.
+[2468.34 --> 2468.36]  Yeah.
+[2468.54 --> 2468.62]  Yeah.
+[2468.82 --> 2472.04]  Play music, play games, play videos.
+[2472.38 --> 2475.30]  Oh, they actually got that one right.
+[2475.48 --> 2475.70]  Yeah.
+[2475.98 --> 2476.94]  Way to go, Google.
+[2477.86 --> 2478.00]  Sometimes.
+[2478.00 --> 2480.90]  They just did it way ahead of time when in the moment it didn't make a ton of sense.
+[2480.90 --> 2481.02]  Yeah.
+[2481.02 --> 2482.42]  It just made a lot more sense in the future.
+[2482.62 --> 2485.02]  They were playing 3D chess.
+[2485.28 --> 2486.02]  They were doing the long game.
+[2486.02 --> 2487.76]  And I was playing with my penis.
+[2488.24 --> 2488.56]  Wow.
+[2489.78 --> 2491.56]  That was what was going on there.
+[2491.82 --> 2492.74]  I didn't get it.
+[2492.80 --> 2495.80]  I mean, you were making children at that point in time.
+[2496.02 --> 2496.64]  No, not yet.
+[2496.90 --> 2497.30]  Oh, okay.
+[2497.70 --> 2497.92]  Yeah.
+[2498.02 --> 2498.54]  No, not yet.
+[2498.64 --> 2500.22]  No, that was a solo effort.
+[2500.42 --> 2501.86]  Oh, that's why it was just playing.
+[2501.94 --> 2502.52]  Solo effort.
+[2502.68 --> 2503.00]  I see.
+[2503.18 --> 2503.34]  Yeah.
+[2503.46 --> 2503.78]  Okay.
+[2504.58 --> 2504.80]  Yeah.
+[2505.06 --> 2505.26]  Yeah.
+[2505.44 --> 2505.58]  Yeah.
+[2506.36 --> 2507.28]  Still a fun game.
+[2508.00 --> 2510.02]  I'm surprised I would have one billion here.
+[2510.02 --> 2510.66]  It's great.
+[2513.84 --> 2515.94]  I put up the green screen picture from earlier.
+[2516.02 --> 2516.70]  When someone did that.
+[2516.80 --> 2517.62]  Oh, no.
+[2519.00 --> 2520.26]  I love how you said that.
+[2521.44 --> 2522.44]  Oh, no.
+[2522.72 --> 2523.74]  Show him the other one.
+[2524.64 --> 2526.18]  These guys can't see.
+[2526.18 --> 2527.24]  I'll show you that.
+[2527.24 --> 2528.74]  You guys are going to need to check out at Jay's Two Cents.
+[2529.08 --> 2529.50]  Actually, here.
+[2529.60 --> 2530.50]  I can pull it up.
+[2530.92 --> 2531.14]  Yeah.
+[2531.34 --> 2531.88]  It's pretty.
+[2532.06 --> 2532.56]  It's pretty.
+[2533.26 --> 2533.66]  So we.
+[2534.34 --> 2537.42]  Dimitri and I earlier, if you guys follow our social media, we stood in front of their green screen.
+[2537.90 --> 2538.74]  And it was.
+[2538.96 --> 2542.08]  To give you guys an opportunity to key out and play around with green screen pictures.
+[2542.22 --> 2542.84]  There's some good options.
+[2542.84 --> 2544.88]  There's some really good creative people out there.
+[2544.96 --> 2545.52]  My goodness.
+[2546.24 --> 2547.12]  Just go to media.
+[2547.50 --> 2547.96]  Oh, there it is.
+[2548.04 --> 2548.16]  Yeah.
+[2548.76 --> 2550.38]  Also, make sure to tag.
+[2550.68 --> 2551.88]  Some of them might not be appropriate.
+[2552.02 --> 2553.18]  So you might not want to scroll live.
+[2553.18 --> 2555.52]  Okay, there it is.
+[2555.54 --> 2557.14]  Well, there's the one we were looking for.
+[2560.04 --> 2561.58]  Who's that you're thinking up there, Jay?
+[2561.64 --> 2562.40]  Would your wife approve?
+[2562.44 --> 2563.04]  Who is that?
+[2563.26 --> 2567.08]  Who is that foxy, uh, foxy individual?
+[2567.08 --> 2567.42]  Foxy, babe.
+[2568.74 --> 2569.82]  Oh, what is going on here?
+[2570.40 --> 2571.08]  Dang it, Apple.
+[2572.90 --> 2573.34]  What is that?
+[2573.34 --> 2573.72]  A spider?
+[2574.76 --> 2575.38]  That's a sun.
+[2575.44 --> 2575.92]  That's a sun.
+[2576.04 --> 2576.26]  Okay.
+[2578.02 --> 2578.88]  Oh, man.
+[2580.30 --> 2581.04]  That's great.
+[2581.64 --> 2582.18]  Oh, my God.
+[2582.18 --> 2583.46]  That's...
+[2583.46 --> 2584.58]  That is great.
+[2588.00 --> 2588.90]  All right.
+[2589.26 --> 2589.50]  See?
+[2590.04 --> 2591.00]  We know how to have fun.
+[2591.24 --> 2591.94]  We can have fun.
+[2592.56 --> 2593.14]  Something that will work.
+[2593.32 --> 2593.76]  All right.
+[2593.88 --> 2596.32]  So here's some potentially big news.
+[2596.48 --> 2599.02]  So PCGamer.com reports,
+[2599.22 --> 2601.80]  and I'm just going to close this ad before I screen share with you guys,
+[2602.38 --> 2608.02]  NVIDIA's next-gen Volta gaming GPUs not arriving anytime soon.
+[2608.02 --> 2608.60]  Well, why would they?
+[2608.72 --> 2612.06]  So this picture right here is Jensen showing off Volta,
+[2612.64 --> 2616.68]  already super-duper definitely working in the data center,
+[2616.82 --> 2621.00]  which means, based on the way that NVIDIA rolls out product,
+[2621.54 --> 2623.88]  they launch their big GPU first,
+[2624.74 --> 2626.54]  and whatever product that is,
+[2626.68 --> 2627.94]  it used to be GeForce,
+[2628.36 --> 2630.82]  now it never is, but I'm not bitter.
+[2631.36 --> 2632.82]  NVIDIA launches their big one first,
+[2632.90 --> 2635.62]  which means they've got the architecture down,
+[2635.86 --> 2637.48]  and then they just cut.
+[2637.96 --> 2639.26]  They cut and cut and cut,
+[2639.34 --> 2642.16]  and the performance goes down according to how much they cut away.
+[2642.16 --> 2646.94]  That process usually takes like two to three months per cut,
+[2647.02 --> 2648.10]  because there is an R&D.
+[2648.10 --> 2651.72]  It's obviously more complicated than just like taking a pair of scissors to a,
+[2651.72 --> 2656.74]  you know, to a V100 and like taping that to a PCB.
+[2656.74 --> 2659.56]  Like, so there's R&D that is involved with that,
+[2659.60 --> 2661.24]  and you've only got so many engineers at a time.
+[2661.30 --> 2662.52]  It's a resource management thing.
+[2663.30 --> 2665.82]  So based on when they showed off,
+[2666.18 --> 2669.66]  working, like production Volta silicon,
+[2670.48 --> 2675.16]  they could probably be launching a GeForce card now if they felt like it.
+[2675.16 --> 2675.90]  But there's no reason to.
+[2675.98 --> 2678.68]  There's no competition for them to do it.
+[2678.76 --> 2681.50]  And they pushed back their HBM already,
+[2681.66 --> 2685.18]  generations from when the original roadmap back in like 2012 was leaked.
+[2685.42 --> 2685.48]  Yeah.
+[2685.48 --> 2686.64]  It was Maxwell, I believe,
+[2686.74 --> 2688.62]  was when we were supposed to first see HBM.
+[2688.80 --> 2689.56]  But we super did.
+[2689.58 --> 2690.92]  But they now look at Vega,
+[2690.92 --> 2693.90]  again, there's just like why even invest in the manufacturing cost of this
+[2693.90 --> 2694.80]  when we don't have to,
+[2694.90 --> 2698.12]  when our traditional architecture is still topping the competition.
+[2698.84 --> 2701.18]  And the other thing too is like NVIDIA strategically,
+[2701.34 --> 2702.84]  you've seen it over the last five years,
+[2702.84 --> 2705.92]  has moved from try to make the GPU faster, faster, faster,
+[2706.10 --> 2709.88]  to try to build out technology around the GPU.
+[2710.12 --> 2713.08]  Whether it's stuff that doesn't make a ton of sense to me personally,
+[2713.24 --> 2715.84]  like Ansel is that screenshotting thing
+[2715.84 --> 2718.70]  where you can capture like super high resolution stills.
+[2718.70 --> 2720.04]  Do you guys know anyone that uses that?
+[2720.04 --> 2720.94]  Have you used it?
+[2721.20 --> 2722.94]  I've used it only in the demo version
+[2722.94 --> 2725.90]  just to see how high resolution you can go
+[2725.90 --> 2727.34]  if you go like crank up the settings.
+[2727.50 --> 2730.88]  But outside of seeing how beautifully you can turn those screenshots
+[2730.88 --> 2732.70]  for like Witcher 3 and other games,
+[2733.86 --> 2734.02]  there's never...
+[2734.02 --> 2734.64]  I've never touched it.
+[2734.64 --> 2736.52]  If you want like a big poster on your wall...
+[2736.52 --> 2737.68]  I have never used it, ever.
+[2737.78 --> 2738.88]  Like I'll tell you guys this.
+[2738.92 --> 2741.40]  I remember this was a weird experience for me at a LAN party.
+[2741.50 --> 2743.32]  This was back when like I went to LAN party,
+[2743.32 --> 2745.04]  so clearly I like played video games.
+[2745.52 --> 2747.22]  But I wasn't really...
+[2747.22 --> 2751.30]  Like I didn't have like a guild or like a clan or anything like that.
+[2751.38 --> 2754.52]  So being like really into video games was kind of alien to me.
+[2754.98 --> 2757.12]  And there were these two people at a LAN.
+[2757.34 --> 2759.88]  And it's only like a 45, 50 person LAN.
+[2760.78 --> 2762.90]  Which like is big, but it's not that big.
+[2763.18 --> 2765.18]  They spent like two hours...
+[2765.18 --> 2770.86]  Literally, it felt like, you know, Uncle Harold's like vacation pictures.
+[2771.34 --> 2775.72]  One of them was showing the other one an album of wow screenshots.
+[2776.20 --> 2776.38]  Yeah.
+[2776.52 --> 2780.22]  Like this was the time we climbed to the top of freaking some mountain
+[2780.22 --> 2783.36]  and whoever clipped through the thing and like...
+[2783.36 --> 2784.36]  Whoever clipped through the thing.
+[2784.42 --> 2785.00]  So it was Hyjal?
+[2785.64 --> 2785.92]  What?
+[2786.02 --> 2786.98]  I don't know what you're talking about.
+[2786.98 --> 2789.48]  So you know, this might have been pretty cool.
+[2789.80 --> 2791.90]  Okay, one thing, wow screenshots was like a big deal
+[2791.90 --> 2793.96]  because you'd show boss kills.
+[2793.96 --> 2797.14]  And you'd usually have like the timestamp.
+[2797.46 --> 2799.70]  So if you were like world first or server first or whatever,
+[2799.82 --> 2800.84]  you could show the boss kill.
+[2801.34 --> 2802.48]  It could be...
+[2802.48 --> 2804.76]  And if he's talking about Mount Hyjal...
+[2804.76 --> 2807.08]  And this is when you were at LAN parties.
+[2807.34 --> 2808.84]  So this is probably classic wow, correct?
+[2809.20 --> 2809.58]  Yeah.
+[2809.84 --> 2813.00]  In classic wow, you were not allowed to get to Mount Hyjal.
+[2813.24 --> 2815.94]  So he probably has a similar screenshot set to me,
+[2816.04 --> 2819.88]  which is glitching through many walls and over many things.
+[2819.88 --> 2821.70]  And it takes like quite a while to get there.
+[2821.78 --> 2823.80]  And you're just like screwing the game repeatedly.
+[2823.96 --> 2828.38]  And you get to a part of the game that has like Blizzard Co. construction signs.
+[2828.76 --> 2831.22]  And there's stuff that never got released that's in there.
+[2831.92 --> 2832.10]  Hmm.
+[2832.44 --> 2836.52]  Like Archimons, like big giant skull leaning up against this tree and stuff,
+[2836.56 --> 2837.76]  which was never in the game.
+[2838.24 --> 2839.72]  So it was actually super cool.
+[2839.86 --> 2841.12]  And it was glitchers.
+[2841.30 --> 2843.38]  It wasn't necessarily just people that are interested in wow,
+[2843.38 --> 2844.92]  because I was a glitcher back then.
+[2845.04 --> 2847.84]  I broke like every single aspect of Halo 2.
+[2847.84 --> 2848.84]  I was like, oh, I'm going to talk to you.
+[2848.84 --> 2849.84]  I'm going to talk to you.
+[2849.84 --> 2850.84]  I'm going to talk to you.
+[2850.84 --> 2852.30]  I haven't talked to you in many years.
+[2852.30 --> 2856.08]  But this guy named Utah Crusher, him and I used to play Halo 2 together.
+[2856.72 --> 2861.40]  And we were like in the first group of people that found the switching from rocket to a sword
+[2861.40 --> 2863.30]  and flying across the entire map glitch.
+[2863.84 --> 2864.94]  If you knew that one.
+[2865.06 --> 2865.80]  I killed Hogger.
+[2865.90 --> 2867.70]  You would do this thing where the rocket...
+[2867.70 --> 2868.48]  I killed Hogger.
+[2868.48 --> 2873.22]  The rocket, you could aim at someone and it would show red because you were targeting them, right?
+[2874.00 --> 2874.56]  Do you remember that?
+[2875.10 --> 2876.12]  I never played Halo 2.
+[2876.20 --> 2877.10]  That's an Xbox game.
+[2877.84 --> 2878.64]  Okay, whatever, man.
+[2878.96 --> 2881.06]  I think it happened in Halo 1, too.
+[2881.44 --> 2884.38]  If you aimed over top of someone, the aimer would turn red.
+[2886.42 --> 2886.86]  Anyways.
+[2886.88 --> 2887.46]  I don't remember.
+[2887.84 --> 2888.84]  That was a long time ago.
+[2889.00 --> 2890.00]  That was like a state.
+[2890.46 --> 2895.22]  And the sword, if the aimer was red, you would lunge towards them and the state was shared.
+[2895.22 --> 2901.00]  So if you switched it fast enough and lunged, it wouldn't notice that it wasn't in that state anymore.
+[2901.18 --> 2902.88]  So it would let you lunge to the person.
+[2903.16 --> 2906.00]  But they're super far away because it's the targeting from the rocket launcher.
+[2906.34 --> 2908.48]  So you just like, shoof, and just fly at them.
+[2908.86 --> 2909.58]  It was pretty cool.
+[2909.74 --> 2910.76]  We did a lot of other stuff, too.
+[2911.10 --> 2912.06]  I'm going to stop talking.
+[2912.06 --> 2912.86]  So I'll say this.
+[2914.54 --> 2919.32]  Many, many of the screenshots were just like, here's me and this other person in a meadow.
+[2920.04 --> 2920.40]  Oh.
+[2920.84 --> 2921.98]  It was really bad.
+[2921.98 --> 2926.28]  So, okay, anyway, back to the topic.
+[2927.54 --> 2931.08]  Some of the stuff NVIDIA's building doesn't make a ton of sense to me, like Ansel.
+[2931.70 --> 2934.46]  But some of the stuff they're building does make a ton of sense.
+[2934.92 --> 2936.74]  Things like streaming.
+[2939.14 --> 2941.30]  Better GPU-based encoding and decoding.
+[2941.54 --> 2943.48]  All that kind of stuff does make sense to me.
+[2943.48 --> 2955.44]  So pretty much what they're doing is they're kind of going, we don't even need to develop a much, much faster GPU every year.
+[2955.44 --> 2970.14]  We're just going to put more tech in it to the point where even if the RX Vega 556 was the same price as a GTX 1070, NVIDIA's whole thing on their side is like, we still think you should buy a 1070 anyway.
+[2970.14 --> 2972.94]  Because we do release day drivers every time.
+[2973.38 --> 2974.82]  Oh, by the way, they're Wickel-Lol.
+[2976.72 --> 2978.54]  And then we've got all this other tech.
+[2978.66 --> 2982.74]  We've got Shadowplay and all that kind of stuff built into it.
+[2983.26 --> 2987.52]  And, you know, AMD's approach is, oh, yeah, but like our approach is open.
+[2987.52 --> 2989.52]  But you look at sometimes...
+[2990.06 --> 2991.58]  But NVIDIA started opening stuff up too, though.
+[2991.88 --> 2996.16]  Sometimes open makes sense, but only if you're actually doing any work.
+[2996.96 --> 2997.10]  Yeah.
+[2997.20 --> 3003.34]  Because like, look at how, okay, so stereoscopic 3D, however much of an abortion you may or may not think it is.
+[3004.20 --> 3007.14]  NVIDIA did a better job because they actually did work on it.
+[3007.44 --> 3015.56]  Whereas AMD was just like, yeah, through IZ3D and whatever that other thing was, you can enable stereoscopic 3D on our cards.
+[3015.56 --> 3017.38]  But they were these janky 3D cards.
+[3017.44 --> 3018.60]  Did you ever try IZ3D?
+[3019.06 --> 3019.94]  No, I didn't.
+[3020.00 --> 3020.48]  It was awful.
+[3020.50 --> 3021.78]  I never did NVIDIA's 3D stuff either.
+[3021.98 --> 3022.86]  It was awful.
+[3023.46 --> 3030.12]  Like, if you think 3D is bad, imagine 3D, but like, there's no oxygen in the room.
+[3030.14 --> 3032.50]  So just to say 3D ready or whatever.
+[3032.72 --> 3032.84]  Yeah.
+[3032.98 --> 3035.56]  Just to have the checkbox.
+[3035.64 --> 3036.34]  It was super bad.
+[3036.42 --> 3036.58]  Yeah.
+[3037.08 --> 3038.70]  We did testing for that a long time ago.
+[3038.72 --> 3039.76]  People are telling me to shut up.
+[3040.88 --> 3043.30]  I think like three quarters of the chat is, Dimitri!
+[3044.56 --> 3045.04]  Dimitri!
+[3045.56 --> 3047.20]  In the chat.
+[3047.66 --> 3047.90]  Yeah.
+[3048.52 --> 3049.50]  So much of it.
+[3049.82 --> 3050.38]  You talked.
+[3050.80 --> 3051.06]  Yeah.
+[3051.20 --> 3052.34]  I mean, you gave them what they wanted.
+[3052.68 --> 3053.36]  Okay, here.
+[3053.46 --> 3055.42]  I've got something for Dimitri to discuss.
+[3055.82 --> 3057.48]  This was posted by Perino on the forum.
+[3057.56 --> 3059.68]  The original article here is from Ars Technica.
+[3060.24 --> 3061.70]  And this blew my mind.
+[3063.28 --> 3068.14]  Bing is bigger than you think, says Microsoft, with a quarter of UK searches.
+[3068.84 --> 3069.32]  Whoa.
+[3069.58 --> 3069.84]  Wow.
+[3071.02 --> 3073.14]  So they're saying a quarter of the searches are from UK?
+[3073.14 --> 3074.08]  No.
+[3074.60 --> 3075.14]  No, no.
+[3075.14 --> 3079.92]  A quarter of the UK's searches are using Bing.
+[3079.92 --> 3085.26]  10% in Spain, 19% in France, 9% in...
+[3085.26 --> 3086.50]  What type of use, though, is it?
+[3086.58 --> 3087.54]  Whatever that is.
+[3087.78 --> 3088.42]  What are they searching?
+[3089.24 --> 3092.02]  They're just looking to buy, to download Chrome.
+[3095.96 --> 3097.52]  That's probably legit, man.
+[3098.36 --> 3101.74]  Apparently, Taiwan is as high as 25%?
+[3101.74 --> 3104.06]  Dude, the US is 33%.
+[3104.06 --> 3104.46]  Yeah.
+[3104.68 --> 3104.96]  What?
+[3105.32 --> 3106.72]  The US is the biggest percentage.
+[3108.02 --> 3109.24]  16% Canada.
+[3109.78 --> 3111.20]  But these are just...
+[3111.20 --> 3112.30]  What type of use?
+[3112.46 --> 3114.62]  These are just figures being put out by...
+[3114.62 --> 3116.06]  Denmark is the lowest percentage.
+[3116.86 --> 3122.78]  Because they may be just using type to search, which uses Bing as your search result.
+[3122.86 --> 3128.50]  I love how they're saying Bing is bigger than you think, and then there's literally multiple single-digit percentages.
+[3129.36 --> 3129.62]  Yeah.
+[3129.74 --> 3130.96]  That is bigger than I think.
+[3130.96 --> 3133.56]  To be fair, yeah, but, like, damn, guys.
+[3133.96 --> 3138.96]  I honestly think, like Demetri said, that's just because they're searching for another browser to download on new installs.
+[3138.96 --> 3143.06]  But 33% of all traffic in the USA is not searching for another browser to download.
+[3143.50 --> 3145.10]  Like, I'm not even just trying to be devil's advocate.
+[3145.22 --> 3145.56]  That's not...
+[3146.78 --> 3147.40]  There's no way.
+[3147.44 --> 3148.40]  So if they're using Cortana?
+[3148.58 --> 3149.72]  Yeah, Cortana uses Bing.
+[3149.94 --> 3151.28]  So anytime you type that in...
+[3151.28 --> 3151.50]  Oh.
+[3151.84 --> 3152.50]  Click enter.
+[3152.82 --> 3153.34]  It...
+[3153.34 --> 3155.24]  So that's just a falsified...
+[3155.24 --> 3158.60]  Not really falsified, but it's skewed and that's making it look like...
+[3158.60 --> 3158.82]  That's using Bing.
+[3158.82 --> 3160.12]  But I'm not going to Bing.
+[3160.12 --> 3164.42]  I don't use Cortana to begin with, but if I do a search or something down here, I'm not searching Bing.
+[3164.50 --> 3167.12]  I'm just searching here, usually for something on my system, but...
+[3167.68 --> 3169.02]  Yeah, but that doesn't work anyway.
+[3169.18 --> 3173.60]  Most of the time, it just gives you driver download from online.
+[3173.66 --> 3181.52]  But it searches the internet simultaneously when you search for something local, so that's not necessarily a good representation of Bing usage.
+[3181.86 --> 3184.24]  Yeah, that and I accidentally use Bing a lot.
+[3184.60 --> 3185.00]  Accidentally?
+[3185.00 --> 3186.76]  So you contribute to that...
+[3186.76 --> 3187.16]  How many?
+[3187.30 --> 3187.88]  13%?
+[3188.22 --> 3189.32]  16% in Canada.
+[3189.78 --> 3194.36]  So I'll launch Edge because I haven't bothered to install another browser yet, and I'll search for something.
+[3194.42 --> 3195.26]  I'll be like, oh crap.
+[3195.94 --> 3197.80]  And then I'll have to search for Google.
+[3198.02 --> 3201.10]  Someone in chat just said Alexa uses Bing, and Alexa's huge in the States.
+[3202.10 --> 3202.22]  Hmm.
+[3202.78 --> 3203.66]  Oh, okay.
+[3203.66 --> 3206.24]  That would maybe make sense why it's 33% there.
+[3206.38 --> 3208.78]  Because apparently globally, it's about 9%.
+[3208.78 --> 3209.94]  Hmm.
+[3209.94 --> 3210.46]  Ouch.
+[3211.12 --> 3213.32]  And then 33% in the USA.
+[3213.46 --> 3214.14]  That's huge.
+[3217.78 --> 3220.08]  Even like Hong Kong is 20%.
+[3220.08 --> 3220.10]  Sirius is Bing.
+[3220.90 --> 3221.38]  Sirius.
+[3221.42 --> 3222.06]  That can't be right.
+[3222.20 --> 3223.30]  I'm pretty sure that's not right.
+[3223.98 --> 3225.26]  Bing is for porn, apparently.
+[3226.56 --> 3227.00]  What?
+[3227.80 --> 3233.60]  Yeah, so a certain friend of ours in Seattle would say that, like, I guess the algorithm for that is way better.
+[3234.40 --> 3234.62]  Oh.
+[3234.88 --> 3236.18]  A certain friend of ours in Seattle?
+[3236.74 --> 3237.06]  Yeah.
+[3237.06 --> 3240.08]  Well, I'm not getting involved in that.
+[3240.66 --> 3242.96]  Thanks for tuning into the WAN Show, you guys.
+[3243.94 --> 3249.38]  Thanks again to Jay and Dimitri, not only for being here for Scrapyard Wars, but also for being here on the show.
+[3249.50 --> 3252.86]  So you can find Jay over at, I mean, I know the answer.
+[3253.08 --> 3253.54]  Jay's two cents.
+[3254.02 --> 3254.52]  With a Z.
+[3254.80 --> 3255.92]  Not to be confused with the wrapper.
+[3256.42 --> 3256.62]  Yeah.
+[3257.54 --> 3259.38]  And us at Hardware Canucks.
+[3264.90 --> 3265.14]  Click.
+[3265.14 --> 3267.14]  Yeah, I'm just, I'm leaving it because it's funny.
+[3267.46 --> 3267.66]  Oh.
+[3267.74 --> 3268.20]  I'll do it.
+[3268.26 --> 3268.56]  There you go.
+[3268.80 --> 3274.14]  Oh, we should have done a special intro with, like, you guys, like, on planes coming here.
+[3274.62 --> 3275.74]  That would have been real cool.
+[3277.62 --> 3278.64]  If I could share some footage.
+[3278.64 --> 3279.46]  They're like biplanes.
+[3280.16 --> 3281.10]  Little scarves and goggles.
+[3281.42 --> 3282.28]  Did you do, like, a vlog?
+[3283.60 --> 3284.80]  Did you do, like, a vlog?
+[3285.02 --> 3285.26]  Yeah.
+[3285.32 --> 3285.70]  Is it even sure?
+[3285.82 --> 3286.10]  Cool.
+[3286.52 --> 3287.34]  Are you putting that on your channel?
+[3287.52 --> 3287.70]  Yeah.
+[3287.70 --> 3290.26]  If you want to see a travel vlog, go to Dimitri's channel.
+[3290.90 --> 3291.36]  Hardware Canucks.
+[3291.36 --> 3291.80]  Hardware Canucks.
+[3293.20 --> 3294.26]  Is that my personal channel?
+[3294.66 --> 3295.20]  Oh, no, no.
+[3295.32 --> 3296.64]  I'm collecting stuff still.
+[3296.82 --> 3297.00]  Oh.
+[3297.18 --> 3297.34]  Yeah.
+[3297.94 --> 3298.52]  That'll be good, though.
+[3298.54 --> 3298.88]  That'll be good.
+[3298.88 --> 3328.86]  Thank you.

+[0.00 --> 2.00]  You got it?
+[3.08 --> 7.78]  Okay, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the WEN show.
+[7.78 --> 14.68]  I gotta tell you this is the least prepared I have been for the show in quite some time.
+[14.68 --> 22.70]  I couldn't find the capture card, I couldn't find my chair, and I couldn't even find my regular co-host.
+[22.70 --> 31.54]  But for many of you, that probably won't be much of a problem because you might remember that this is Mr. Scott Wasson,
+[31.54 --> 40.70]  who has actually joined us a couple of times in the past, though it would have been in his previous role as the editor-in-chief and owner of TechReport.
+[40.70 --> 48.46]  So I think we actually covered it on the show, but just to be clear, what's this capsaicin nonsense you're wearing on your shirt here?
+[48.92 --> 52.36]  Oh, so capsaicin is an event that we've had. We've had a couple of them at GDC.
+[52.36 --> 54.36]  I kind of meant who's we now.
+[54.36 --> 59.36]  We, I should say. So I left the TechReport a little over a year ago and joined AMD.
+[59.36 --> 65.36]  So I'm in the Radeon Technologies group at AMD, and so working with the GPU guys, especially in Radeon Gaming.
+[65.36 --> 69.36]  And so capsaicin is an event we've had at the Game Developers Conference.
+[69.36 --> 77.36]  That we didn't get to attend because NVIDIA was busy telling us about Vulkan, I think, was most of that presentation.
+[77.36 --> 86.36]  Meanwhile, Luke is sitting here with like a video with, I think, 700,000 views or something on YouTube explaining pretty much what he sat in the presentation hearing.
+[86.36 --> 91.36]  I was kind of sitting here. When are you going to talk about 1080 TI? Are you going to talk about 1080 TI yet?
+[91.36 --> 94.36]  Anyway, sorry. So capsaicin, the event we missed. Yes, please carry on.
+[94.36 --> 97.36]  Well, it's basically we're talking with developers about our new tech, right?
+[97.36 --> 108.36]  So we talk about things like Vega architecture, capsaicin, what we're doing in terms of, you know, GPU open things, various things that we do to help game developers make their games better in our GPUs.
+[108.36 --> 115.36]  So, I mean, this feels like kind of a you scratch my back, I scratch your back kind of situation.
+[115.36 --> 120.36]  We've never, we've, oh, actually, no, once we have.
+[120.36 --> 128.36]  But, okay, in the last three years, we haven't allowed a manufacturer to co-host the WAN show with us.
+[128.36 --> 133.36]  So you mentioned Vega there. Do you have anything you can share with us?
+[133.36 --> 141.36]  New stuff? I don't know. We've talked a lot about Vega given it's not actually out yet.
+[141.36 --> 145.36]  We said it's coming soon. And we talked a ton about the architecture, right?
+[145.36 --> 147.36]  We've actually disclosed a ton.
+[147.36 --> 149.36]  I'm so mean putting you on the spot like that.
+[149.36 --> 153.36]  And I've talked about Vega architecture with a lot of people and I love talking about it.
+[153.36 --> 155.36]  There's some cool stuff that we're doing.
+[155.36 --> 161.36]  So we're going to chat about that later. And we've got a lot of other great topics for you guys, including, this is awkward.
+[161.36 --> 165.36]  NVIDIA releasing the Titan XP.
+[165.36 --> 169.36]  Apple to begin making their own GPUs.
+[169.36 --> 175.36]  NVIDIA to release Pascal drivers for Mac OS.
+[175.36 --> 180.36]  Oh, and YouTube updates the partner program.
+[180.36 --> 182.36]  That seems safe.
+[182.36 --> 189.36]  Yeah, yeah. Some of these topics, I think as an AMD person, if I talk about them, they load me into a cannon and shoot me into the sun.
+[189.36 --> 191.36]  Cool.
+[191.36 --> 199.36]  So I can't talk about like stuff that, I can't talk about like stuff that like AMD's customers did or things like that.
+[199.36 --> 201.36]  But we'll tiptoe through this.
+[201.36 --> 204.36]  Yeah, but I'm sure we'll make our way through the show.
+[204.36 --> 211.36]  I mean, it wouldn't be WAN show if there wasn't an awkward moment or somebody getting fired into the sun or whatever the case may be.
+[211.36 --> 212.36]  All right.
+[212.36 --> 213.36]  Buzzers!
+[213.36 --> 214.36]  Squarespace!
+[214.36 --> 215.36]  FreshBuzz!
+[215.36 --> 216.36]  Why isn't AMD in here?
+[216.36 --> 217.36]  We'll work on that, man.
+[217.36 --> 224.36]  I guess they provided us with one Scott Wawson to keep us company today.
+[224.36 --> 230.36]  So why don't we jump into, why don't we just jump right into something that you can talk about a little bit.
+[230.36 --> 233.36]  So YouTube has updated their partner program.
+[233.36 --> 238.36]  Nowadays, actually the original article here is over from techcrunch.com.
+[238.36 --> 240.36]  I'm going to go ahead and pull that up for you guys.
+[240.36 --> 255.36]  And this is kind of crazy because I've been playing the YouTube game long enough that I actually do remember a time when YouTube invited you specifically.
+[255.36 --> 260.36]  Like they would email you out of the blue and invite you to their partner program.
+[260.36 --> 265.36]  And it wasn't until quite a bit later that they opened it up for people to be able to apply.
+[265.36 --> 272.36]  And then it wasn't until quite a bit later after that that they changed.
+[272.36 --> 274.36]  It was kind of a quiet rollout.
+[274.36 --> 275.36]  Do you remember this?
+[275.36 --> 283.36]  Where all of a sudden, like the random video of like somebody's cat getting picked up by an eagle or whatever would have an ad on it.
+[283.36 --> 286.36]  Well, that is pretty cool if a cat got picked up by an eagle.
+[286.36 --> 292.36]  I think the one I was thinking of was actually a kid getting picked up by an eagle and then it turned out to be fake.
+[292.36 --> 293.36]  That's cool, but also interesting.
+[293.36 --> 295.36]  Yeah.
+[295.36 --> 305.36]  So basically this is all in response to a big controversy that's actually been going on in the YouTube space over the last little while.
+[305.36 --> 309.36]  And I'm going to get someone to maybe, hey Max?
+[309.36 --> 312.36]  Is someone in the warehouse?
+[312.36 --> 313.36]  No?
+[313.36 --> 314.36]  Okay.
+[314.36 --> 315.36]  Okay.
+[315.36 --> 321.36]  So basically it's been – oh yes, Jake, perfect.
+[321.36 --> 326.36]  Can you move the foil so that it's not hanging into the top right of the frame there?
+[326.36 --> 327.36]  Beautiful.
+[327.36 --> 328.36]  Thank you.
+[328.36 --> 329.36]  Okay.
+[329.36 --> 330.36]  Never mind.
+[330.36 --> 331.36]  We're good.
+[331.36 --> 332.36]  Carry on.
+[332.36 --> 336.36]  So basically this has been part of a big controversy that's been going on right now on YouTube.
+[336.36 --> 337.36]  Have you been paying attention to this?
+[337.36 --> 338.36]  A little bit, yeah.
+[338.36 --> 339.36]  A little bit, yeah.
+[339.36 --> 340.36]  Okay.
+[340.36 --> 348.36]  So long story short, for those of you who haven't been in the loop, is YouTube, Google, is getting their advertisers pulled.
+[348.36 --> 377.36]  So whether the piece of content is one about, you know, hating a particular ethnicity of people or about how this person is so wrong they should be just put up against a wall and shot or whatever the controversial piece of content is, YouTube has been scaling back on delivering ads on that content in response to very large, multinational brands,
+[377.36 --> 384.36]  pulling their advertising dollars when they realized their ad was being shown on this type of content.
+[384.36 --> 387.36]  And I mean maybe this is something you can comment on a little bit.
+[387.36 --> 394.36]  I mean do you imagine from an AMD perspective that that might be a reasonable reaction?
+[394.36 --> 395.36]  I mean, yeah.
+[395.36 --> 400.36]  You don't want to see your brand next to some hateful rant or something like that.
+[400.36 --> 402.36]  I mean it's terrible, right?
+[402.36 --> 403.36]  Okay.
+[403.36 --> 404.36]  Not everybody feels that way.
+[404.36 --> 414.36]  So we got a lot of feedback from our audience when we sided with the big brands, the big evil brands, saying that that wouldn't feel inappropriate to them.
+[414.36 --> 416.36]  And they kind of went, well an eyeball is an eyeball.
+[416.36 --> 418.36]  What difference does it make?
+[418.36 --> 420.36]  Why does that matter?
+[420.36 --> 421.36]  Wow.
+[421.36 --> 428.36]  Well, I mean first of all, of course, just from a very businessy perspective, you don't want to be associated with hateful things as a brand.
+[428.36 --> 430.36]  It's not good marketing, right?
+[430.36 --> 439.36]  And secondly, and maybe not secondly, maybe this should always be first, but there's just the ethical issue of sponsoring and giving money to that kind of thing, right?
+[439.36 --> 440.36]  That's no good.
+[440.36 --> 445.36]  And this is not that different from like if you run a forum, you guys run a forum.
+[445.36 --> 446.36]  Yeah.
+[446.36 --> 448.36]  You get people who come in and post things.
+[448.36 --> 451.36]  You know, they'll post links to terrible stuff.
+[451.36 --> 463.36]  So I remember running the tech report, we've imposed limits on who can post what when so that we kind of get to know who somebody is, give them a little bit of time so they don't just come in and put junk in, right?
+[463.36 --> 465.36]  A lot of it's just signal to noise ratio, right?
+[465.36 --> 466.36]  You want to improve that.
+[466.36 --> 470.36]  So here's the thing.
+[470.36 --> 481.36]  The main argument that we heard back from our viewers was, well, the viewer should know the difference between the ad running in front of the video and the content that they're watching.
+[481.36 --> 483.36]  Do you agree?
+[483.36 --> 487.36]  I don't, I don't think.
+[487.36 --> 490.36]  The viewer definitely should know, right?
+[490.36 --> 492.36]  It's good for viewers to be smart.
+[492.36 --> 493.36]  But at the same time.
+[493.36 --> 495.36]  It's good for viewers to be smart.
+[495.36 --> 496.36]  It's good for viewers to be smart.
+[496.36 --> 497.36]  It's got lost in 2017.
+[497.36 --> 498.36]  At the same time.
+[498.36 --> 501.36]  No, I mean, you don't want to be associated with that.
+[501.36 --> 505.36]  And they had to take some basic common sense steps.
+[505.36 --> 510.36]  And it seems like that this type of threshold, a relatively small number of views is a common sense step to me.
+[510.36 --> 511.36]  Right.
+[511.36 --> 512.36]  Okay.
+[512.36 --> 513.36]  Yeah.
+[513.36 --> 518.36]  So anyway, basically, in response to this, YouTube is updating the partner program.
+[518.36 --> 520.36]  So this is part of the measures that they're taking.
+[520.36 --> 525.36]  To be clear, some of which I believe have been too far.
+[525.36 --> 540.36]  There's been content that has had the advertising pulled from it that, remember, this could be the, you know, coming from where you come from as a website owner in the past who relied on advertising revenue.
+[540.36 --> 555.36]  Can you imagine if you were falsely flagged as a hate website and Google pulled your AdSense or whatever partners you were working with just pulled the money with no negotiation, no warning, no nothing?
+[555.36 --> 556.36]  I mean, what would that mean for you?
+[556.36 --> 557.36]  Yeah.
+[557.36 --> 558.36]  No, it stinks.
+[558.36 --> 559.36]  Right.
+[559.36 --> 566.36]  And I actually don't have to imagine too much because we used to have that problem where people would post some random link in the forums and Google would come in and say, you guys are no good.
+[566.36 --> 568.36]  And they'd pull your ads for a while.
+[568.36 --> 572.36]  And, you know, there aren't a lot of people working behind those algorithms.
+[572.36 --> 574.36]  So it takes a while to get reinstated.
+[574.36 --> 575.36]  Right.
+[575.36 --> 578.36]  And so the revenue is gone until you can get them to bring it back.
+[578.36 --> 580.36]  And now he works at AMD.
+[580.36 --> 582.36]  So that should give you some idea what happens.
+[582.36 --> 585.36]  You could end up working at AMD.
+[585.36 --> 586.36]  So.
+[586.36 --> 587.36]  So.
+[587.36 --> 592.36]  So basically, though, in an.
+[592.36 --> 593.36]  Where was I going with this?
+[593.36 --> 594.36]  Right.
+[594.36 --> 596.36]  So that sucks.
+[596.36 --> 606.36]  But the reality of it is, is there's like however many hundreds of thousands of, you know, hours of footage uploaded to YouTube every minute or whatever those numbers work out to.
+[606.36 --> 609.36]  And the reality of it is they can't go through everything.
+[609.36 --> 620.36]  And when they're trying to respond to a bunch of brands pulling their funding, they have to over respond and then tweak the algorithm to whitelist things back in.
+[620.36 --> 627.36]  The good news, though, if you're a content creator and you're out there, is that you can appeal these strikes.
+[627.36 --> 639.36]  And from what I know about how YouTube's algorithmic machine learning works behind the scenes, my understanding, and I've heard of this happening, but I've never personally witnessed it.
+[639.36 --> 655.36]  But I've heard from creators who have heard from creators that for things like fair use, for example, if you're getting frequently flagged by algorithmic or automated copyright strikes and you appeal them many, many times, it learns.
+[655.36 --> 658.36]  It kind of learns who the bad'uns and the good'uns are.
+[658.36 --> 665.36]  So it would be a good idea probably to appeal any kinds of strikes that you've received or any demonetization.
+[665.36 --> 670.36]  One inconvenient thing is that we had to manually go through our videos and see which ones were demonetized.
+[670.36 --> 672.36]  It just happened.
+[672.36 --> 675.36]  I mean, would an email summary have killed you, YouTube?
+[675.36 --> 682.36]  Hey, by the way, we turned off all the money on these videos!
+[682.36 --> 683.36]  Thanks, guys.
+[683.36 --> 684.36]  Thanks, guys.
+[684.36 --> 694.36]  So effective immediately, YouTube will not allow ads on channels that have fewer than 10,000 lifetime views across all the videos on that channel.
+[694.36 --> 696.36]  And to be clear, this is a very low threshold.
+[696.36 --> 702.36]  You only need, like, one video to go nano-viral in order to get 10,000 views.
+[702.36 --> 717.36]  So what this pretty much means, though, is that most videos that are obscure and offensive enough to never really find much of an audience have no chance of having an advertiser placement on it.
+[717.36 --> 731.36]  It's also from just—this isn't in my notes, but purely from my perspective, this is great, because why are those guys getting ad inventory when established channels like us still don't have 100% fill rates?
+[731.36 --> 734.36]  I don't really understand that.
+[734.36 --> 740.36]  I mean, clearly, someone who's getting 42 views per video, this is not a source of revenue for them anyway.
+[740.36 --> 752.36]  Why are you putting an ad in front of the viewer potentially hampering that person's ability to grow on the platform and then not serving the ad to someone who actually is relying on the platform instead?
+[752.36 --> 755.36]  There is something to be said for that.
+[755.36 --> 758.36]  And remember, guys, we're talking 10,000 views.
+[758.36 --> 763.36]  Nobody is thinking about going YouTuber full-time before they have 10,000 views.
+[763.36 --> 768.36]  So I don't see this being significantly harmful to guys that are just starting out.
+[768.36 --> 771.36]  So that's my kind of two cents on that.
+[771.36 --> 773.36]  Oh, this is interesting.
+[773.36 --> 779.36]  It's also intended to block channels that steal content from other sources and prevent them from deriving revenue from the platform.
+[779.36 --> 781.36]  That's actually something we've seen a lot.
+[781.36 --> 782.36]  Yeah, it's a big problem.
+[782.36 --> 783.36]  Yeah.
+[783.36 --> 792.36]  Just these channels will pop up overnight, and they'll have 200 of our videos ripped and just retitled so that they look a little bit different.
+[792.36 --> 806.36]  And because our partner agreement doesn't allow us to automatically see those and get like a report for them, they just kind of sit there until one of our viewers contacts us and lets us know that they're there, and then we can get them ripped down.
+[806.36 --> 815.36]  But in the meantime, they're potentially collecting AdSense checks, and they can be very big ones, but still, it's ridiculous.
+[815.36 --> 821.36]  Well, involving this type of threshold, 10,000 views, also rules out a bunch of stuff, right?
+[821.36 --> 822.36]  Yep.
+[822.36 --> 829.36]  And then once something comes over that, it's possible that Google could get human editors involved to vet some things, right, to make sure they're okay.
+[829.36 --> 831.36]  But this filters out a lot of noise.
+[831.36 --> 835.36]  They don't have to think about it if it's a really, really small number of views.
+[835.36 --> 836.36]  All right.
+[836.36 --> 841.36]  Wow, we've got a lot of stuff that's going to be kind of hard for you to comment on.
+[841.36 --> 844.36]  I didn't realize it was going to be quite so bad.
+[844.36 --> 846.36]  Yeah, the list is interesting.
+[846.36 --> 847.36]  We could try, though.
+[847.36 --> 848.36]  It's all good.
+[848.36 --> 849.36]  We could try.
+[849.36 --> 856.36]  We're just going to, this is going to, the entire rest of the WAN show is going to be the, what can Scott say?
+[856.36 --> 860.36]  Versus what can he not say?
+[860.36 --> 863.36]  So why don't we jump into Xbox Project Scorpio.
+[863.36 --> 865.36]  So the source here is Eurogamer.
+[865.36 --> 867.36]  Let's go ahead and pull that up.
+[867.36 --> 873.36]  But basically, there's specs, there's games, there's VR peripherals, backwards compatibility, basically,
+[873.36 --> 878.36]  everything that these guys know about Project Scorpio at this time.
+[878.36 --> 884.36]  I'm going to go ahead and drop that link in the Twitch chat if you guys want to get the more in-depth version of it later.
+[884.36 --> 887.36]  But, oh, no, I'm not going to be able to do that.
+[887.36 --> 888.36]  Long story.
+[888.36 --> 892.36]  But it'll be in the document on the forum a little bit later.
+[892.36 --> 901.36]  But in a nutshell, Project Scorpio is the much-rumored mid-generation upgrade to the Xbox One.
+[901.36 --> 913.36]  So what that means as a mid-generation upgrade is that all the games and peripherals that run on the Xbox One today, like, oh, for example, oh, oh, the Kinect.
+[913.36 --> 916.36]  It's exciting.
+[916.36 --> 917.36]  It's exciting.
+[917.36 --> 919.36]  I can feel excitement.
+[919.36 --> 920.36]  Oh, man.
+[920.36 --> 922.36]  The excitement is palpable, man.
+[922.36 --> 924.36]  We'll work on the new system.
+[924.36 --> 931.36]  Anyway, so other than VR games, there won't be any Project Scorpio exclusives.
+[931.36 --> 934.36]  So here's what we know so far spec-wise.
+[934.36 --> 942.36]  AMD got yet another design win because it wouldn't be much of a mid-cycle upgrade if it wasn't, you know, using pretty much the same processor.
+[942.36 --> 956.36]  So it'll have eight custom AMD cores clocked at 2.3 GHz, 326 GB per second of memory bandwidth, and 1172 MHz GPU with 40 customized compute units.
+[956.36 --> 963.36]  So let's ignore customization. What would 40 compute units kind of look like on the desktop on your side?
+[963.36 --> 966.36]  Okay, so an RX 480 is 36 compute units.
+[966.36 --> 967.36]  Okay.
+[967.36 --> 970.36]  So this is a little bit bigger than an RX 480 as a GPU.
+[970.36 --> 984.36]  Okay. An RX 480 powers a pretty darn good gaming experience at 1080 to 1440 high details, and you can even go 4K if you want to talk about, like, eSports-type titles.
+[984.36 --> 986.36]  Yeah.
+[986.36 --> 989.36]  No, no, I wasn't going to say, you know, for honor or whatever.
+[989.36 --> 992.36]  Right, not Deus Ex, mankind divided, but, yeah, some of those easier ones.
+[992.36 --> 993.36]  Yeah.
+[995.36 --> 997.36]  So it's got 12 gigs of GDDR5 memory.
+[997.36 --> 999.36]  Oh, wow, that's quite a lot more than before, isn't it?
+[999.36 --> 1005.36]  Yeah, and, you know, I'm just happy to see this is looking more like kind of a high-end PC.
+[1005.36 --> 1006.36]  Right.
+[1006.36 --> 1012.36]  You know, the history here is we kind of had this gap, like, Xbox 360 was like seven, eight years between Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
+[1012.36 --> 1013.36]  Yep.
+[1013.36 --> 1020.36]  And when they came out with it, and before, like in the past, like when the 360 came out, it really rivaled the high-end PC.
+[1020.36 --> 1021.36]  Yeah.
+[1021.36 --> 1022.36]  Xbox One.
+[1022.36 --> 1023.36]  PS3, too, actually.
+[1023.36 --> 1024.36]  Right, right. They did.
+[1024.36 --> 1025.36]  More than rivaled.
+[1025.36 --> 1026.36]  That thing was incredible.
+[1026.36 --> 1032.36]  As an old PC guy, the whole thing you always hear is the PC is going to die because the new consoles, there's always a panic.
+[1032.36 --> 1033.36]  It's always dying.
+[1033.36 --> 1038.36]  There was no panic around the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 when they first came out because they were kind of low in mid-range.
+[1038.36 --> 1039.36]  Yeah.
+[1039.36 --> 1047.36]  And it's kind of interesting now. We're seeing the re-upping more quickly to kind of get that additional power back because of things like VR happening.
+[1047.36 --> 1048.36]  Right.
+[1048.36 --> 1052.36]  And things like that. So I'm just happy to see a high-end spec on the new console.
+[1052.36 --> 1063.36]  Well, it's interesting you bring that up because when the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 launched, we did a piece comparing in every cross-platform, like three-way cross-platform game we could get our hands on.
+[1063.36 --> 1069.36]  So stuff like, I think it was Black Flag was the Assassin's Creed that launched with those. Is that right? Does that seem right?
+[1069.36 --> 1070.36]  Yeah, that seems right.
+[1070.36 --> 1075.36]  Black Flag, I think there was a COD of some sort or a battlefield of some sort. I can't remember. Whatever it was.
+[1075.36 --> 1085.36]  Anyway, what we did was we captured a whack ton of in-game cinematics, cut scenes, engine rendered cut scenes.
+[1085.36 --> 1086.36]  Right.
+[1086.36 --> 1094.36]  We captured a bunch of gameplay and we really looked close at what we were getting in terms of finished image quality.
+[1094.36 --> 1098.36]  You know, after weird upscaling tricks and all that kind of stuff.
+[1098.36 --> 1104.36]  And we're not talking like we took the still grabs and we put them in Photoshop and overlaid to find the differences.
+[1104.36 --> 1107.36]  But we were looking to kind of get pretty darn close.
+[1107.36 --> 1120.36]  And what we discovered was that to build a PC, bearing in mind you've got to buy a case and you've got to buy a power supply and all that, you know, a storage device, all that boring stuff that isn't a CPU and a GPU.
+[1120.36 --> 1122.36]  RAM to a lesser extent.
+[1122.36 --> 1123.36]  Right.
+[1123.36 --> 1130.36]  We found that we had to spend about 500 bucks to get pretty equivalent or 400 bucks to get pretty equivalent to those.
+[1130.36 --> 1131.36]  Yeah.
+[1131.36 --> 1142.36]  But that was about it. As soon as you stepped up past that, I think we ended up using a 260X was what we ended up putting in our equivalent PC system.
+[1142.36 --> 1143.36]  Right.
+[1143.36 --> 1157.36]  Whereas nowadays, if we're talking about a GPU in there that speculatively, obviously all Scott can talk about is how many compute units and what clock speed a 480 is, because that's why he's here to talk to me right now.
+[1157.36 --> 1162.36]  That's all we can talk about.
+[1162.36 --> 1163.36]  Excuse me.
+[1163.36 --> 1169.36]  But what we can say is that we just did a, where is it?
+[1169.36 --> 1171.36]  Oh, it looks like we've moved it.
+[1171.36 --> 1180.36]  But we filmed a PC build guide earlier this week even that was targeting about $1,000 and contained an RX 480.
+[1180.36 --> 1181.36]  Yeah.
+[1181.36 --> 1189.36]  Just to give a better idea of what class of computer this new Xbox might look comparable to.
+[1189.36 --> 1196.36]  It's also going to have a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray disc support if you still watch movies off of physical media.
+[1196.36 --> 1203.36]  It'll support native 4K gaming, although, again, I wouldn't set my expectations too incredibly high.
+[1203.36 --> 1213.36]  And Scott doesn't have to say anything, but too incredibly high with respect to, you know, what kind of games at what kind of detail levels you're going to be running at full native 4K.
+[1213.36 --> 1218.36]  And it's going to have support for VR, which, you know, maybe you can talk a little bit about VR.
+[1218.36 --> 1226.36]  So the big news recently was that PSVR has sold how many more times more units than all the PC headsets combined?
+[1226.36 --> 1228.36]  Yeah, was it 4X or more?
+[1228.36 --> 1229.36]  Something like that.
+[1229.36 --> 1230.36]  I can't remember.
+[1230.36 --> 1231.36]  I'm going to go look it up.
+[1231.36 --> 1234.36]  But how's that going?
+[1234.36 --> 1237.36]  Because there's, speaking of PC being dead, there's an awful lot of VR is dead.
+[1237.36 --> 1239.36]  What's AMD's perception of that?
+[1239.36 --> 1243.36]  I don't know about the whole company's perception, but I'll give you mine.
+[1243.36 --> 1244.36]  Okay.
+[1244.36 --> 1249.36]  I have both the Vive and the Rift, and I've been enjoying them.
+[1249.36 --> 1250.36]  You're such a nerd, man.
+[1250.36 --> 1251.36]  Yeah, I am.
+[1251.36 --> 1252.36]  I am.
+[1252.36 --> 1253.36]  And I'm enjoying them.
+[1253.36 --> 1259.36]  And I've kind of been a little bit of a Rift fanboy because I like the tracking, the inside-out tracking on the Rift, and I like the rooms, or sorry, the Vive's fanboy.
+[1259.36 --> 1261.36]  I like the inside-out tracking on the Vive, I like the room scale.
+[1261.36 --> 1262.36]  Yeah, I love the room scale.
+[1262.36 --> 1264.36]  I think it's the right way to go.
+[1264.36 --> 1266.36]  Finally, Oculus, though, came out with Touch.
+[1266.36 --> 1268.36]  They've got experimental room scale.
+[1268.36 --> 1269.36]  They're doing the right things.
+[1269.36 --> 1279.36]  But the most important development in VR to me in the past while is the release of a game that Oculus has now as a pack-in for free with the Touch.
+[1279.36 --> 1281.36]  And that's Robo Recall.
+[1281.36 --> 1283.36]  It's one of these that they funded the development.
+[1283.36 --> 1284.36]  Right.
+[1284.36 --> 1289.36]  That sweet, sweet Facebook money, they funded the development of a game that Epic built for them.
+[1289.36 --> 1290.36]  Right?
+[1290.36 --> 1291.36]  Right.
+[1291.36 --> 1294.36]  And Robo Recall is the best VR title by a long shot in my view.
+[1294.36 --> 1297.36]  I've been playing this every day, multiple times.
+[1297.36 --> 1301.36]  It's like my little workout every day because it is so, so good.
+[1301.36 --> 1302.36]  It is the feel.
+[1302.36 --> 1303.36]  It's a shooter.
+[1303.36 --> 1304.36]  I'm a shooter fan.
+[1304.36 --> 1306.36]  Love Borderlands, love that stuff.
+[1306.36 --> 1308.36]  The feel, they got it right.
+[1308.36 --> 1310.36]  So the touch, feel of the shooter, fantastic.
+[1310.36 --> 1312.36]  The action is really great.
+[1312.36 --> 1318.36]  And I think people who put on a Rift and play that game will spend money.
+[1318.36 --> 1319.36]  It will open up wallets.
+[1319.36 --> 1321.36]  It's one of those game cell systems.
+[1321.36 --> 1322.36]  Right.
+[1322.36 --> 1323.36]  Right?
+[1323.36 --> 1324.36]  And that is a huge thing.
+[1324.36 --> 1327.36]  And it's unfortunate because I haven't heard enough buzz around this game.
+[1327.36 --> 1328.36]  Right.
+[1328.36 --> 1329.36]  If you have the chance, try it.
+[1329.36 --> 1330.36]  I will.
+[1330.36 --> 1334.36]  If you're a skeptic about VR and you go try that, I think it will be converted.
+[1334.36 --> 1341.36]  And it's funny, it's software that turns out to be the thing that needed to happen in order to make the hardware sell.
+[1341.36 --> 1346.36]  But that's, you know, we've seen it millions of times in the past with new platforms.
+[1346.36 --> 1347.36]  Yeah.
+[1347.36 --> 1353.36]  On the subject of game selling systems, SteamOS.
+[1353.36 --> 1359.36]  That's a perfect example of how you can have a cool idea.
+[1359.36 --> 1366.36]  And even more than a cool idea, SteamOS actually made its way to the market as a finished product.
+[1366.36 --> 1371.36]  Not just as a software product, but you could actually buy a SteamOS gaming console.
+[1371.36 --> 1372.36]  We reviewed one.
+[1372.36 --> 1388.36]  The problem was that Valve, bless their open philosophy, didn't create a killer title to push that console into the market.
+[1388.36 --> 1396.36]  And it's pretty much, I haven't heard a thing about SteamOS pretty much since I published my thing declaring that it was dead when it launched.
+[1396.36 --> 1397.36]  Right.
+[1397.36 --> 1399.36]  So, okay.
+[1399.36 --> 1410.36]  So you think we need more games and that's why AMD is still really focused on VR, VR, VR in like the slides that we didn't look at today and all that kind of stuff.
+[1410.36 --> 1412.36]  I mean, VR is a focus.
+[1412.36 --> 1418.36]  If you're an enthusiast for this stuff, if you're into it and you've been playing with things, then you know it's still very exciting.
+[1418.36 --> 1419.36]  Right.
+[1419.36 --> 1426.36]  And if the games are there and it's exciting, eventually I think people will buy it.
+[1426.36 --> 1430.36]  The other thing that's happening that needs to continue happening is the price has to come down.
+[1430.36 --> 1431.36]  Right.
+[1431.36 --> 1432.36]  Right?
+[1432.36 --> 1434.36]  If PSVR is cheaper, that's probably one of the reasons they sold a lot.
+[1434.36 --> 1435.36]  So I've got those numbers.
+[1435.36 --> 1443.36]  They confirmed in, I think it was, it looks like February, that they had sold almost a million PSVR units so far.
+[1443.36 --> 1451.36]  And that was a little under double the reported numbers for the Rift and the Vive as of the end of 2016.
+[1451.36 --> 1456.36]  So that's all we, oh wait, yeah, no, no, okay.
+[1456.36 --> 1458.36]  So it depends on how we're calculating.
+[1458.36 --> 1466.36]  HTC would only confirm they've sold more than 140,000 while Superdata Research estimated 420,000 Vives.
+[1466.36 --> 1469.36]  So it really depends how we're calculating.
+[1469.36 --> 1473.36]  So it's somewhere between triple to just under double compared to those guys.
+[1473.36 --> 1479.36]  And at $400, that makes sense given that it's what, 600 for the Vive.
+[1479.36 --> 1482.36]  And then, man, is Rift still 600 plus Touch?
+[1482.36 --> 1485.36]  The Rift with Touch went to $598.
+[1485.36 --> 1486.36]  Did it go to $598?
+[1486.36 --> 1489.36]  But the Vive, I think, is still $799, right?
+[1489.36 --> 1490.36]  HTC Vive.
+[1490.36 --> 1491.36]  You know what?
+[1491.36 --> 1494.36]  I live in Canada and our currency is rupees.
+[1494.36 --> 1495.36]  Right.
+[1495.36 --> 1502.36]  So when I bought mine, it was like $950 or $900 or something like that.
+[1502.36 --> 1508.36]  So it's hard for me to comment on pricing sometimes.
+[1508.36 --> 1509.36]  I just lose track.
+[1509.36 --> 1510.36]  But I can look that up.
+[1510.36 --> 1513.36]  Anyway, so cool.
+[1513.36 --> 1518.36]  So Xbox Project Scorpio, VR, 4K, much faster.
+[1518.36 --> 1525.36]  Looking more like a $899,000 PC than a $399,000, $499 PC.
+[1525.36 --> 1533.36]  And what's cool is that developers won't necessarily have to use the extra processing power of Project Scorpio to hit 4K.
+[1533.36 --> 1537.36]  They could just channel that towards a better looking 1080p experience instead.
+[1537.36 --> 1540.36]  Which is what, if anyone's asking me, I would probably strongly recommend.
+[1540.36 --> 1552.36]  Because if you've seen my recent video before it got pulled down due to a copyright claim against it, which I still might dispute because it was definitely fair use.
+[1552.36 --> 1555.36]  Like definitely fair use of that footage from the movie.
+[1555.36 --> 1565.36]  But if you did see, I am really not that sold on 4K and what kind of a difference it makes at a living room distance.
+[1565.36 --> 1566.36]  How about you?
+[1566.36 --> 1567.36]  I bought a new TV.
+[1567.36 --> 1568.36]  As Scott Wasson, okay?
+[1568.36 --> 1569.36]  My TV died not long ago.
+[1569.36 --> 1570.36]  As Scott, not as AMD.
+[1570.36 --> 1571.36]  I'll tell you.
+[1571.36 --> 1572.36]  Okay, 4K in the living room.
+[1572.36 --> 1574.36]  My TV died not long ago.
+[1574.36 --> 1575.36]  Okay.
+[1575.36 --> 1577.36]  And it was like, upgrade opportunity here.
+[1577.36 --> 1578.36]  I've got to get a new TV.
+[1578.36 --> 1579.36]  Yes, TV's dead.
+[1579.36 --> 1583.36]  And I looked around a little, and you can look up online, have you seen the little calculators?
+[1583.36 --> 1584.36]  Yeah.
+[1584.36 --> 1588.36]  How close to a TV you have to sit to notice the different resolutions?
+[1588.36 --> 1592.36]  And like how large that TV then has to be?
+[1592.36 --> 1600.36]  And it's like you'd have to have a chair like four feet from your TV in the middle of your living room to notice 4K, even with a pretty large panel.
+[1600.36 --> 1605.36]  And I went out and I bought recently a 1080p panel instead.
+[1605.36 --> 1606.36]  Really?
+[1606.36 --> 1607.36]  I did.
+[1607.36 --> 1608.36]  You bought a 1080p TV.
+[1608.36 --> 1612.36]  Now, I'm going to regret it because of HDR and OLED and all that.
+[1612.36 --> 1613.36]  Yeah.
+[1613.36 --> 1616.36]  Except I don't regret it in the sense that my TV budget can go to that later.
+[1616.36 --> 1623.36]  But there was no point in buying 4K for the distance that my couch is from the screen for the size of screen I had.
+[1623.36 --> 1624.36]  Yeah.
+[1624.36 --> 1626.36]  No, and I believe in better pixels.
+[1626.36 --> 1627.36]  I like high refresh.
+[1627.36 --> 1629.36]  I like high dynamic range.
+[1629.36 --> 1630.36]  I like high color gamut.
+[1630.36 --> 1635.36]  More than I want more pixels for a display that sits across the room.
+[1635.36 --> 1636.36]  Okay.
+[1636.36 --> 1639.36]  Now, tell me this.
+[1639.36 --> 1645.36]  Maybe you don't know anything, which would probably be optimal because I'd love for you to be able to speculate.
+[1645.36 --> 1646.36]  Okay.
+[1646.36 --> 1649.36]  Are we ever going to get a gaming TV?
+[1649.36 --> 1650.36]  So...
+[1650.36 --> 1651.36]  Okay.
+[1651.36 --> 1653.36]  I'm going to add more to my question.
+[1653.36 --> 1654.36]  Right, right.
+[1654.36 --> 1655.36]  Okay, okay.
+[1655.36 --> 1665.36]  Because we've got technologies, like we've got amazingly fast processors now that are cheap enough that you can put them in a TV without killing the bomb cost.
+[1665.36 --> 1666.36]  Right.
+[1666.36 --> 1673.36]  Not that those didn't exist before and they couldn't have done that years ago and there's no reason for the menu navigation to have been clunky anyway.
+[1673.36 --> 1676.36]  So we've got lightning fast processors.
+[1676.36 --> 1682.36]  We've got OLED panels that are theoretically capable of refresh rates higher than 60 hertz.
+[1682.36 --> 1683.36]  Yeah.
+[1683.36 --> 1693.36]  For sure, we've got interfaces that are both widely available, well established, and also cheap to implement, like DisplayPort.
+[1693.36 --> 1697.36]  When are we going to get a gaming TV? A proper one?
+[1697.36 --> 1698.36]  Yeah.
+[1698.36 --> 1700.36]  I don't know the answer.
+[1700.36 --> 1701.36]  Right?
+[1701.36 --> 1702.36]  Okay, well that's good.
+[1702.36 --> 1703.36]  Maybe you can speculate.
+[1703.36 --> 1710.36]  I can tell you that one thing that we've done that's kind of interesting recently is extend FreeSync support to HDMI.
+[1710.36 --> 1711.36]  Oh, okay.
+[1711.36 --> 1712.36]  Yeah.
+[1712.36 --> 1717.36]  And so the consumer electronics folks, HDMI is their format, right?
+[1717.36 --> 1721.36]  But variable refresh displays are a very, very nice thing to have for gaming.
+[1721.36 --> 1727.36]  And so there's now the possibility, at least, of people building around that.
+[1727.36 --> 1729.36]  That's all we're going to get, eh?
+[1729.36 --> 1731.36]  Hey, I haven't tracked that.
+[1731.36 --> 1733.36]  And it's, yeah.
+[1733.36 --> 1734.36]  Tell me this.
+[1734.36 --> 1735.36]  I'd love to give you good news.
+[1735.36 --> 1736.36]  I can go and check.
+[1736.36 --> 1738.36]  I can talk to our display guys, but I don't know what's happening.
+[1738.36 --> 1739.36]  Okay.
+[1739.36 --> 1746.36]  So if you have like, you know, 144, 165 hertz display with low persistence OLED gaming TV.
+[1746.36 --> 1747.36]  Mm-hmm.
+[1747.36 --> 1748.36]  What kind of a premium would you pay for that?
+[1748.36 --> 1749.36]  Me?
+[1749.36 --> 1752.36]  Oh, it would be a ridiculous premium, right?
+[1752.36 --> 1753.36]  $400, $500 maybe?
+[1753.36 --> 1754.36]  I don't know.
+[1754.36 --> 1758.36]  If I'm in the, I mean, you're talking about an expensive TV already.
+[1758.36 --> 1759.36]  Yeah, we're talking feature identity.
+[1759.36 --> 1760.36]  Right.
+[1760.36 --> 1761.36]  Right.
+[1761.36 --> 1762.36]  Except for that.
+[1762.36 --> 1763.36]  But I mean, because it's so rare.
+[1763.36 --> 1765.36]  It's so rare, right?
+[1765.36 --> 1767.36]  TVs often have high latency.
+[1767.36 --> 1768.36]  I know, right?
+[1768.36 --> 1771.36]  They know it'll have like a game mode button and you press it and nothing happens.
+[1771.36 --> 1773.36]  Sometimes it doesn't even help.
+[1773.36 --> 1775.36]  LG is notorious for this.
+[1775.36 --> 1776.36]  I mean, I love LG.
+[1776.36 --> 1777.36]  I really do.
+[1777.36 --> 1781.36]  Got friends over at LG, but holy crap, your game mode doesn't work.
+[1781.36 --> 1785.36]  And like, this is intentional.
+[1785.36 --> 1786.36]  They know.
+[1786.36 --> 1788.36]  I mean, it's not like they don't know.
+[1788.36 --> 1790.36]  They have the tools to measure this stuff.
+[1790.36 --> 1791.36]  They know.
+[1791.36 --> 1794.36]  They were like, well, we didn't want to compromise on the image quality.
+[1794.36 --> 1797.36]  Well, then don't have a game mode.
+[1797.36 --> 1799.36]  Don't lie to me.
+[1799.36 --> 1802.36]  Just tell me it's bad for games.
+[1802.36 --> 1804.36]  But anyway.
+[1804.36 --> 1806.36]  Yeah, somebody's going to do it, right?
+[1806.36 --> 1809.36]  I mean, sure, these things are happening.
+[1809.36 --> 1816.36]  I mean, 8K and hopefully high refresh, high color gamut, OLEDs, all these techs are going to be out there.
+[1816.36 --> 1823.36]  It's just like you say, it's a small step from those technologies which are capable of high speed refresh.
+[1823.36 --> 1824.36]  Right?
+[1824.36 --> 1828.36]  It's a small step from that to having, and maybe it's not even fast processing.
+[1828.36 --> 1835.36]  Maybe it's just turn off the post processing and let my input device send something out that's tone mapped for the display.
+[1835.36 --> 1836.36]  Right.
+[1836.36 --> 1841.36]  We're working on that with a thing called FreeSync 2 with HDR where it's like, okay, we'll tone mapped to your display.
+[1841.36 --> 1842.36]  It comes right out.
+[1842.36 --> 1843.36]  It's a low latency.
+[1843.36 --> 1845.36]  It's for PC monitors primarily.
+[1845.36 --> 1846.36]  Right.
+[1846.36 --> 1847.36]  But the concept is simple, right?
+[1847.36 --> 1851.36]  The GPU can know and do the right thing, and then the pictures right out.
+[1851.36 --> 1854.36]  So you don't have that post processor in the way.
+[1854.36 --> 1859.36]  Yeah, I would absolutely, I would just absolutely love to have that.
+[1859.36 --> 1860.36]  You know what else I'd have?
+[1860.36 --> 1865.36]  I'd absolutely love to have a show where we don't have to have sponsors, but you know how it is.
+[1865.36 --> 1867.36]  We've got to pay the bills somehow.
+[1867.36 --> 1869.36]  So I'm just going to go ahead and find my notes.
+[1869.36 --> 1875.36]  Damn, I had one more thing I wanted to talk about, about the whole TV thing before I transitioned into this.
+[1875.36 --> 1881.36]  It was something to do with, shoot.
+[1881.36 --> 1882.36]  I was going to kind of jump in.
+[1882.36 --> 1886.36]  It was directly related to what you were saying at the beginning of that bit.
+[1887.36 --> 1889.36]  You do remember what that was by any chance?
+[1889.36 --> 1892.36]  I don't remember what you were thinking.
+[1892.36 --> 1894.36]  Bloody hell, I'm doomed.
+[1894.36 --> 1895.36]  Doomed.
+[1895.36 --> 1897.36]  Doomed to forever not remember what I was going to say.
+[1897.36 --> 1898.36]  That's okay.
+[1898.36 --> 1901.36]  Anyway, our first sponsor of the day is Moss Products.
+[1901.36 --> 1909.36]  These guys have all kinds of great stuff and they've got lifetime warranties to boot on all of their cables.
+[1909.36 --> 1911.36]  So I've actually got some of their stuff open here.
+[1911.36 --> 1917.36]  They've got lots of, you know, gorgeous sleeved cables with like reinforced connectors.
+[1917.36 --> 1922.36]  But this is the coolest part, not that, is actually the spring that they put as a strain relief on the end here.
+[1922.36 --> 1927.36]  So you don't end up with it fraying as it comes out of the connector.
+[1927.36 --> 1931.36]  They've got a whole bunch of other stuff as well, including the Moss Backpack.
+[1931.36 --> 1937.36]  This guy is pretty cool because it's got like basically like a built-in charging hub.
+[1937.36 --> 1943.36]  So you just plug in one cord that comes out of this little zipper doodad right here.
+[1943.36 --> 1947.36]  You plug that in and then it's got an additional outlet for your laptop.
+[1947.36 --> 1953.36]  And then it's got a couple USB ports for the devices that are already sitting in your bag when you come home at the end of the day.
+[1953.36 --> 1958.36]  A wild Luke appears and eats some pizza. And these ones might actually be my favorite.
+[1958.36 --> 1964.36]  These are really cool. So these are little, they're magnetic so they're kind of hard to get out of the package.
+[1964.36 --> 1967.36]  But don't worry, you only have to do that once.
+[1967.36 --> 1975.36]  So they've got little adhesive stickers that come with them. Then you stick them down, you know, somewhere on your desk or on your nightstand or whatever else.
+[1975.36 --> 1983.36]  And then to make sure that your cables don't fall down to the floor, you just stick the connectors to them and then they're there.
+[1983.36 --> 1986.36]  They're ready for you when you need them. I think that's freaking awesome.
+[1986.36 --> 1994.36]  So you can check them out over at mossorganizer.com slash Linus. We'll have that linked in the video description if you are watching the archive.
+[1994.36 --> 2002.36]  And that brings us to FreshBooks. FreshBooks is whether you're running a small, like I always say dance studio.
+[2002.36 --> 2007.36]  What's a business you could run out of your garage? Yoga studio.
+[2007.36 --> 2015.36]  I like it. Very closely related. Yeah. Microcomputer startup. Microcomputer. Yeah, that's the other example.
+[2015.36 --> 2022.36]  The Steve Jobs story. I always use if you have like a small tech shop or whatever the case may be.
+[2022.36 --> 2031.36]  If you're a small business owner or you are an entrepreneur or a freelancer, FreshBooks can help you keep track of your time and expenses,
+[2031.36 --> 2037.36]  invoice your clients much more quickly. Like it takes like 30 seconds to send off a professional looking invoice.
+[2037.36 --> 2046.36]  And what's cool is that beyond that you can actually have them pay through the platform and you can see when they've seen the invoice.
+[2046.36 --> 2053.36]  So you can put an end to that, you know, hey, did you get that invoice I sent? Oh, yeah. No, I didn't get it yet.
+[2053.36 --> 2057.36]  Can you send it again? Oh, yeah, sure. You know what? I didn't get it again. Could you send it one more time?
+[2057.36 --> 2065.36]  And then you finally, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Put an end to that. Know that they've seen it and get paid faster.
+[2065.36 --> 2075.36]  I think. Hold on. FreshBooks. Oh, yeah. And Squarespace. Look at that. Wow. The ad team is like on fire today.
+[2075.36 --> 2079.36]  So Squarespace is the, oh, right. Hold on. I didn't finish up my FreshBooks spot.
+[2079.36 --> 2087.36]  So you can try FreshBooks for free by heading to freshbooks.com slash when and entering when in the how did you hear about us section.
+[2087.36 --> 2090.36]  Oh, and they have a mobile card reader now as well.
+[2090.36 --> 2097.36]  Squarespace is the place to go if you want to build a website that is simple, powerful, beautiful.
+[2097.36 --> 2105.36]  All those old slogans that we are not allowed to use anymore. They get mad at us if we use their old company slogans.
+[2105.36 --> 2106.36]  I get it.
+[2106.36 --> 2110.36]  You can see that. Is AMD going to start getting mad if we start talking about Team Red?
+[2110.36 --> 2112.36]  Because I can't find any red on the website anymore.
+[2112.36 --> 2113.36]  Really?
+[2113.36 --> 2115.36]  Yeah, it's all orange for Ryzen and then.
+[2115.36 --> 2117.36]  So go to Radeon.com. There's lots of red.
+[2117.36 --> 2118.36]  Oh, okay.
+[2118.36 --> 2120.36]  We kind of busted that off into separate things.
+[2120.36 --> 2123.36]  So you guys took, you guys absconded with the red.
+[2123.36 --> 2125.36]  There's plenty of red over at Radeon.com.
+[2125.36 --> 2127.36]  Plenty of red. Okay. All right. All right.
+[2127.36 --> 2132.36]  So anyway, Squarespace, whether you're, you know, you're running a little league sports team or you,
+[2132.36 --> 2139.36]  hey, that small business that you run that you're using FreshBooks for your accounting and moss to organize your cables or whatever the case may be.
+[2139.36 --> 2141.36]  Maybe it needs a website.
+[2141.36 --> 2150.36]  So for just 12 bucks a month with a free domain thrown in, if you buy Squarespace, Squarespace, Squarespace for the year, you can get set up.
+[2150.36 --> 2154.36]  Your website will feature responsive design, so it'll scale to look great on any device.
+[2154.36 --> 2158.36]  And their cloud-based utility is super easy to use.
+[2158.36 --> 2165.36]  You type in the copy you want after you pick a template, you throw in some pictures and boom, you are ready to rock.
+[2165.36 --> 2171.36]  And they offer 24-7 support via live chat and email if you're having any trouble.
+[2171.36 --> 2179.36]  They've got all kinds of great features like their logo designer, their cover pages feature that lets you throw up a one-page website in a matter of minutes.
+[2179.36 --> 2184.36]  And they've even got support for Apple news format directly from the Squarespace blog module.
+[2184.36 --> 2188.36]  So try it out with a trial. Try it out with a trial. Yeah, sure.
+[2188.36 --> 2196.36]  Try a trial with no credit card required and make sure to use offer code WHEN to save 10% on your first purchase when you sign up for Reels.
+[2196.36 --> 2201.36]  All right. So what else we got here today?
+[2201.36 --> 2207.36]  Oh, this is absolutely killing me that I can't remember what that TV thing that I was trying to remember was.
+[2207.36 --> 2213.36]  I'm dying here. Oh, okay. I did have a question.
+[2213.36 --> 2219.36]  Okay. So FreeSync over HDMI. Right now, FreeSync support...
+[2219.36 --> 2224.36]  Bye, Nick. Thank you for disrupting the show. Appreciate that. See ya.
+[2224.36 --> 2234.36]  So FreeSync support doesn't require any special intervention on the display scaler side in a monitor.
+[2234.36 --> 2241.36]  Basically, just new scalers are coming with support for the latest display port or whatever the case may be.
+[2241.36 --> 2243.36]  And like, it's just kind of in there.
+[2243.36 --> 2250.36]  Would you expect something like that to happen naturally on the TV side?
+[2251.36 --> 2254.36]  So there are two different ecosystems there, right?
+[2254.36 --> 2258.36]  Yeah. TVs are consumer electronics instead of PC.
+[2258.36 --> 2261.36]  Consumer electronics has HDMI. PCs have display port.
+[2261.36 --> 2262.36]  Yeah, but you support... There's a split.
+[2262.36 --> 2264.36]  But you support FreeSync over HDMI, so...
+[2264.36 --> 2271.36]  Sure. But if you're asking about it being natural, the natural thing is for the divide to continue.
+[2271.36 --> 2276.36]  We may... Maybe we'll find a nice partnership and break that, but I don't think it would be natural.
+[2276.36 --> 2279.36]  I think it would take a little bit of effort. Right?
+[2279.36 --> 2280.36]  I... If there was...
+[2280.36 --> 2281.36]  If you're asking the question, that's the answer.
+[2281.36 --> 2284.36]  If there was anything that I could do to make that happen.
+[2284.36 --> 2287.36]  I... I personally believe quite strongly in the...
+[2287.36 --> 2289.36]  I remember what I was going to talk about.
+[2289.36 --> 2290.36]  Right!
+[2290.36 --> 2292.36]  I think they have to do this.
+[2292.36 --> 2298.36]  So if anyone from LG or Samsung or Sharp, whatever, I don't care.
+[2298.36 --> 2301.36]  Just... Physio, anybody, is watching this.
+[2301.36 --> 2304.36]  Here's why I think they have to do this.
+[2304.36 --> 2307.36]  4K in the living room is...
+[2307.36 --> 2310.36]  Eagle eyes only need apply.
+[2310.36 --> 2315.36]  I think the benefit for a lot of people, considering the difficulty that Blu-ray even has...
+[2315.36 --> 2317.36]  DVD still exists!
+[2317.36 --> 2322.36]  And that looks a lot better than DVD.
+[2322.36 --> 2338.36]  Considering that, 4K is going to have a hard time being the selling point that ultimately moves TVs, especially because the content is years and years away in big markets like the United States.
+[2338.36 --> 2345.36]  I mean, when are you actually expecting to watch Sunday Night Football in 4K at 60 frames per second?
+[2345.36 --> 2347.36]  Yeah, I don't know.
+[2347.36 --> 2348.36]  Come on!
+[2348.36 --> 2349.36]  Come on!
+[2349.36 --> 2354.36]  So we don't need the resolution unless the screen size gets bigger.
+[2354.36 --> 2355.36]  And I'll get back to that in a minute.
+[2355.36 --> 2356.36]  HDR.
+[2356.36 --> 2362.36]  HDR is another pretty tough selling point.
+[2362.36 --> 2370.36]  Because unless the content is mastered very well, the difference side by side is noticeable.
+[2370.36 --> 2378.36]  But the difference just walking into a room and being shown a piece of content and being immersed in a movie...
+[2378.36 --> 2382.36]  Not so much, huh?
+[2382.36 --> 2383.36]  It's tougher.
+[2383.36 --> 2384.36]  It's a tougher sell.
+[2384.36 --> 2385.36]  Yeah.
+[2385.36 --> 2392.36]  Especially when you consider the fact that a lot of the difference in the way an HDR version of a movie...
+[2392.36 --> 2403.36]  A lot of the difference between the regular Blu-ray version of the movie seems to be in the way that they've mastered it.
+[2403.36 --> 2408.36]  Not necessarily just in the extra capabilities that HDR gives you.
+[2408.36 --> 2411.36]  So for example, think about it this way.
+[2411.36 --> 2420.36]  If HDR was really something that could not be captured on a display that can't display HDR...
+[2420.36 --> 2431.36]  When we were filming side by side TVs running HDR and non-HDR content and marveling at how the HDR one had much more natural looking shadows.
+[2431.36 --> 2433.36]  You could see so much more detail in the shadows.
+[2433.36 --> 2434.36]  And you can see that on the screen.
+[2434.36 --> 2435.36]  You kind of go, okay.
+[2435.36 --> 2445.36]  So some of this is HDR and some of this is enabled by this wider color and this much, much wider contrast capability of the display.
+[2445.36 --> 2448.36]  But some of it is also in the way that they master it.
+[2448.36 --> 2453.36]  And I think right now I've only seen one movie that just blew me away.
+[2453.36 --> 2455.36]  And that was Life of Pi.
+[2455.36 --> 2461.36]  And we're a long way away from, I think, you know, every movie and every game having an HDR mode that's really meaningful.
+[2461.36 --> 2466.36]  So Deus Ex Mankind Divided is another game that I've played with and without HDR.
+[2466.36 --> 2467.36]  Yeah.
+[2467.36 --> 2470.36]  And for me, same thing.
+[2470.36 --> 2474.36]  If I looked at them side by side, I'd pick out the HDR one and I'd go, that's better.
+[2474.36 --> 2477.36]  If I didn't see them side by side.
+[2477.36 --> 2478.36]  You wouldn't notice.
+[2478.36 --> 2480.36]  I probably wouldn't notice.
+[2480.36 --> 2481.36]  Right.
+[2481.36 --> 2485.36]  Or like if you asked me which one's HDR, I could probably tell you.
+[2485.36 --> 2494.36]  But I wouldn't sit down in front of some game and sit and play and enjoy a game and go, wow, this is sure enhancing my gaming experience.
+[2494.36 --> 2495.36]  Right.
+[2495.36 --> 2503.36]  So that leaves us with this sort of, and this is something the TV industry has struggled with for quite some time.
+[2503.36 --> 2506.36]  How do we drive up ASPs?
+[2506.36 --> 2510.36]  How do we keep from just being a 399 device?
+[2510.36 --> 2511.36]  Commodity.
+[2511.36 --> 2512.36]  Commodity device.
+[2512.36 --> 2515.36]  And you can't make them bigger anymore.
+[2515.36 --> 2526.36]  It's gotten to the point where they are as big as they can practically be until we're talking about holographic displays, in my opinion, because they're not transportable.
+[2526.36 --> 2527.36]  Yeah.
+[2527.36 --> 2528.36]  Yeah.
+[2528.36 --> 2529.36]  No, I see.
+[2529.36 --> 2530.36]  Yeah.
+[2530.36 --> 2531.36]  I know what you're saying.
+[2531.36 --> 2533.36]  Bring us a gaming display.
+[2533.36 --> 2534.36]  That's my argument.
+[2534.36 --> 2536.36]  That's a good argument.
+[2536.36 --> 2538.36]  Can we talk a little bit about the whole thing though?
+[2538.36 --> 2541.36]  Because I think there's a path to success for some of this.
+[2541.36 --> 2542.36]  Yeah.
+[2542.36 --> 2543.36]  Right?
+[2543.36 --> 2549.36]  One of the, it seems like what the Consumer Electronics guys are doing with the next generation of stuff is they're packaging up several things together.
+[2549.36 --> 2550.36]  4K.
+[2550.36 --> 2551.36]  Yeah.
+[2551.36 --> 2552.36]  High dynamic range.
+[2552.36 --> 2553.36]  Yeah.
+[2553.36 --> 2556.36]  Which is, you know, more contrast between light and dark, more steps in between.
+[2556.36 --> 2557.36]  Yeah.
+[2557.36 --> 2558.36]  And then wide color gamut.
+[2558.36 --> 2559.36]  Yep.
+[2559.36 --> 2561.36]  Which is actually in some ways more exciting for me.
+[2561.36 --> 2567.36]  If you've ever like tried to take a picture of the sunset with a digital camera and you don't get the colors, right?
+[2567.36 --> 2569.36]  Your color gamut is not wide enough.
+[2569.36 --> 2570.36]  Yeah.
+[2570.36 --> 2573.36]  And I actually, there's a wide gamut camera and display on the iPhone 7.
+[2573.36 --> 2575.36]  My son has a OnePlus 3.
+[2575.36 --> 2578.36]  We go out and we both take pictures of the same sunset.
+[2578.36 --> 2580.36]  Wide gamut is way better.
+[2580.36 --> 2582.36]  You kind of joke around about it.
+[2582.36 --> 2584.36]  And that's not even as wide as you can go.
+[2584.36 --> 2585.36]  Joke's on you.
+[2585.36 --> 2586.36]  He paid half as much for his phone.
+[2586.36 --> 2587.36]  He did.
+[2587.36 --> 2590.36]  And I like that sunset picture.
+[2590.36 --> 2593.36]  I don't know if I like it, you know, $400, but I like the picture.
+[2593.36 --> 2594.36]  Sure.
+[2594.36 --> 2613.36]  But I have seen, I think one of the problems we have right now in the ecosystem is getting the content and the tone mapping to the particular displays and their capabilities all set up so you have this really robust content that takes advantage of all the capabilities of the display and then it's properly mapped to what the individual displays can do.
+[2613.36 --> 2614.36]  Yeah.
+[2614.36 --> 2615.36]  And it's going to be really hard to do that.
+[2615.36 --> 2617.36]  It is, but these things are being worked out.
+[2617.36 --> 2624.36]  We had a demo that we ran in a couple of our trade show booths that was at the LG where they went and they filmed the video.
+[2624.36 --> 2629.36]  They did the tone mapping for their display and they're showing this loop.
+[2629.36 --> 2630.36]  Yeah.
+[2630.36 --> 2633.36]  And it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen on an electronic screen.
+[2633.36 --> 2634.36]  It was amazing.
+[2634.36 --> 2635.36]  Right.
+[2635.36 --> 2636.36]  And the potential is there.
+[2636.36 --> 2649.36]  And I think that although I really do have more affinity for HDR and wide gamut than for more pixels, I think the 4K is going to be part of the package when they figure all this stuff out.
+[2649.36 --> 2650.36]  Games though.
+[2650.36 --> 2651.36]  Can we talk about games?
+[2651.36 --> 2652.36]  Yeah, let's talk about games.
+[2652.36 --> 2658.36]  So games, there's sort of a first step and then a second step toward HDR for gaming.
+[2658.36 --> 2659.36]  Right.
+[2659.36 --> 2660.36]  So the first step is basically this.
+[2660.36 --> 2662.36]  Half-Life, Lost Coast.
+[2662.36 --> 2665.36]  Well, yeah, we did HDR way back when.
+[2665.36 --> 2666.36]  Okay, there's three steps.
+[2666.36 --> 2667.36]  Right.
+[2667.36 --> 2672.36]  But that was internal high dynamic range rendering mapping to a non-high dynamic range display.
+[2672.36 --> 2673.36]  Yeah.
+[2673.36 --> 2679.36]  Now, what we can do now is we have displays that really can show you more range and more contrast and more colors.
+[2679.36 --> 2687.36]  And if you look at like a DirectX 11 GPU, they're using 32-bit floating point color format for red, green, blue, alpha.
+[2687.36 --> 2688.36]  Sure.
+[2688.36 --> 2690.36]  That's a ton of internal precision.
+[2690.36 --> 2701.36]  So all a game developer really has to do is take the beautiful lighting that they have in their engine, all the data they're putting up that's high fidelity, and tone map to the capability of the display properly.
+[2701.36 --> 2702.36]  Sure.
+[2702.36 --> 2704.36]  And you should get a nice result.
+[2704.36 --> 2705.36]  Right?
+[2705.36 --> 2709.36]  But we're still working on getting that done.
+[2709.36 --> 2718.36]  But some of that, some of what happens when you do that is you may be revealing like the limitations of the source textures and content.
+[2718.36 --> 2719.36]  Right.
+[2719.36 --> 2720.36]  Interesting.
+[2720.36 --> 2735.36]  So in the long run, the entire tool chain for the game developer from when they're building their textures through the shaders that they're using to render and all their lighting, everything out to the display needs to be end-to-end high dynamic range, high color gamut, all of that.
+[2735.36 --> 2736.36]  And that's a longer road.
+[2736.36 --> 2739.36]  It takes, what, three, four years to build a AAA game?
+[2739.36 --> 2741.36]  And the tools have to change first.
+[2741.36 --> 2751.36]  So you're talking something kind of along the lines of how the Hollywood makeup industry got revitalized by the move to HD.
+[2751.36 --> 2760.36]  How in SD, basically effects were getting kind of good enough and you could kind of fudge it well enough.
+[2760.36 --> 2761.36]  Right.
+[2761.36 --> 2767.36]  But then as soon as we went HD, all these imperfections were totally visible and for a period anyway.
+[2767.36 --> 2768.36]  Yeah.
+[2768.36 --> 2771.36]  So we had to go back to real props, real makeup.
+[2771.36 --> 2781.36]  And, you know, maybe we're seeing, I mean, you saw, you saw, I mean, spoiler alert, I guess Rogue One, if you haven't seen it.
+[2781.36 --> 2783.36]  So there you go.
+[2783.36 --> 2785.36]  But I mean, you saw Leia at the end, right?
+[2785.36 --> 2786.36]  Yeah.
+[2786.36 --> 2788.36]  Nah, the uncanny valley was real.
+[2788.36 --> 2789.36]  The uncanny valley was real.
+[2789.36 --> 2790.36]  It was real.
+[2790.36 --> 2793.36]  But it looked pretty, pretty close.
+[2793.36 --> 2797.36]  They, they're getting, maybe they're kind of starting to come back up toward the other side of the valley a little bit.
+[2797.36 --> 2798.36]  It was a little creepy.
+[2798.36 --> 2799.36]  It still freaked me out.
+[2799.36 --> 2801.36]  She kind of looked like a sex doll.
+[2801.36 --> 2805.36]  Like, you know how they, they're made with these super realistic features and they're just like.
+[2805.36 --> 2810.36]  I feel like the different parts of her face at the end didn't move together in the right way.
+[2810.36 --> 2811.36]  It kind of, eh.
+[2811.36 --> 2812.36]  Anyway.
+[2812.36 --> 2817.36]  But yeah, the, the, the source content also has to get better in the long run.
+[2817.36 --> 2818.36]  Yeah.
+[2818.36 --> 2820.36]  Like, it can be good now.
+[2820.36 --> 2821.36]  Yeah.
+[2821.36 --> 2822.36]  The point is every part of the chain.
+[2822.36 --> 2823.36]  Yeah.
+[2823.36 --> 2824.36]  Right.
+[2824.36 --> 2825.36]  Yeah.
+[2825.36 --> 2826.36]  Okay.
+[2826.36 --> 2827.36]  All right.
+[2827.36 --> 2829.36]  So I can't ignore this any longer.
+[2829.36 --> 2832.36]  The original article, let's go with the, let's go with the one from Anantek.
+[2832.36 --> 2835.36]  NVIDIA announces the Titan XP.
+[2835.36 --> 2838.36]  Isn't that like an old story?
+[2838.36 --> 2842.36]  Fully enabled GP 102 for $1,200.
+[2842.36 --> 2856.36]  So basically they released the 1080 Ti, crapped on the owners of the Titan XP, which is what we were calling the new Titan X, but they never called it that.
+[2856.36 --> 2861.36]  Then, like a week or two later, however long it, maybe it's more than that.
+[2861.36 --> 2862.36]  Ah, time flies.
+[2862.36 --> 2869.36]  Anyway, a few weeks later, they're, they're crapping on people who were like, yes, the 1080 Ti is the fastest card on the market.
+[2869.36 --> 2880.36]  Um, and, uh, now they're releasing a new card and crapping on me at the same time because I'm gonna, I'm, I don't know what to call this thing.
+[2880.36 --> 2892.36]  I've been running around calling the, the second coming of the Titan X, the Titan XP since it launched because it was the Titan XP for Pascal.
+[2892.36 --> 2894.36]  And now they have a Titan XP.
+[2894.36 --> 2897.36]  So there's really only one solution.
+[2897.36 --> 2900.36]  This will be the Titan XP.
+[2900.36 --> 2903.36]  Or the Titan XP, if you'd prefer.
+[2903.36 --> 2908.36]  GPU performance compared to the Maxwell Titan X.
+[2908.36 --> 2911.36]  Why are they, why are we even reporting on this?
+[2911.36 --> 2912.36]  What?
+[2912.36 --> 2913.36]  Don't ask me, dude.
+[2913.36 --> 2920.36]  Is improved by 84 per, why would we even compare to the, like the, what?
+[2920.36 --> 2929.36]  Okay, anyway, compared to the 1080 Ti, 13% more memory bandwidth, 7% more shader texture geometry throughput, and 9% more ROP throughput.
+[2929.36 --> 2931.36]  And it costs about, what, double, I guess?
+[2931.36 --> 2932.36]  So there you go.
+[2932.36 --> 2935.36]  Titans are still expensive and they're still really fast.
+[2935.36 --> 2937.36]  Apple.
+[2937.36 --> 2938.36]  Apple.
+[2938.36 --> 2945.36]  Rumored to begin making their own GPUs.
+[2945.36 --> 2949.36]  So the original article here is from Wired.
+[2949.36 --> 2967.36]  And this is potentially a pretty freaking interesting development because it is absolutely no secret that Apple believes in building its own IP wherever possible.
+[2967.36 --> 2970.36]  And I'm not talking 192.168.something.
+[2970.36 --> 2977.36]  I'm talking intellectual property and they basically want to own pretty much anything that's important to them.
+[2977.36 --> 2989.36]  And power consumption and performance of their biggest money making device, the iPhone, is definitely something that is important to them.
+[2989.36 --> 2992.36]  So they have announced, sorry, did I say rumor?
+[2992.36 --> 2993.36]  Sorry.
+[2993.36 --> 3001.36]  They have announced they will no longer be using their long time GPU partner, Imagination, for new products 15 to 24 months from now.
+[3001.36 --> 3007.36]  So by that time we're probably talking, what would that be, iPhone 8S?
+[3007.36 --> 3008.36]  Yeah.
+[3008.36 --> 3009.36]  I guess?
+[3009.36 --> 3010.36]  Yeah.
+[3010.36 --> 3018.36]  They are replacing their GPU with a separate independent graphics design built in-house.
+[3018.36 --> 3030.36]  Imagine doubts that Apple will be able to make their own GPUs without violating their patents intellectual property and confidential information.
+[3030.36 --> 3034.36]  So this looks like it might not be an entirely clean breakup.
+[3034.36 --> 3046.36]  And AMD has certainly got a fair amount of experience with other companies running around trying to make GPUs and sometimes probably not even intentionally infringing on patents.
+[3046.36 --> 3051.36]  Because whether your name is AMD or Radeon Technologies Group, I'm sorry, Radeon Technologies Group.
+[3051.36 --> 3054.36]  It's all part of the same thing, dude.
+[3054.36 --> 3066.36]  So whether your name is AMD or whether your name is NVIDIA or even Intel, you own a lot, a lot of freaking IP when it comes to graphics technology.
+[3066.36 --> 3082.36]  And it has gotten to the point where even if you had an unlimited amount of money and unlimited engineers and a fab, it would be pretty difficult to run out and compete with the RX 480 from the ground up.
+[3082.36 --> 3083.36]  Would you agree with that statement?
+[3083.36 --> 3084.36]  Yeah, yeah.
+[3084.36 --> 3085.36]  No, it's a tough thing to do.
+[3085.36 --> 3088.36]  But, yeah, Apple has all the money.
+[3088.36 --> 3090.36]  But even with all the money.
+[3090.36 --> 3091.36]  Well, but you know what?
+[3091.36 --> 3093.36]  Look at what they did on the CPU side.
+[3093.36 --> 3094.36]  That's true.
+[3094.36 --> 3095.36]  Right?
+[3095.36 --> 3101.36]  I mean, their CPU design team produced some pretty amazing low power CPU cores with really nice performance.
+[3101.36 --> 3106.36]  And this is sort of the next step in that progression in a way.
+[3106.36 --> 3109.36]  They had more of a good relationship with ARM.
+[3109.36 --> 3111.36]  They continued to license their instruction set.
+[3111.36 --> 3114.36]  This is removing away from your stuff entirely.
+[3114.36 --> 3115.36]  This is a big middle finger.
+[3115.36 --> 3116.36]  Right.
+[3116.36 --> 3119.36]  15 to 24 months before they're even ready to ship anything.
+[3119.36 --> 3123.36]  But it's not the same with graphics because with graphics you use an API to get to the hardware.
+[3123.36 --> 3124.36]  Right.
+[3124.36 --> 3129.36]  So you don't have necessarily a low level instruction set that you're using.
+[3129.36 --> 3132.36]  You're using OpenGL or Metal or Vulkan or whatever it is.
+[3132.36 --> 3133.36]  Probably Metal.
+[3133.36 --> 3136.36]  Well, that's definitely Apple's low level API.
+[3136.36 --> 3137.36]  Right.
+[3137.36 --> 3141.36]  So I can see how this makes sense.
+[3141.36 --> 3143.36]  And they build some really great stuff.
+[3143.36 --> 3145.36]  I got to respect the hardware they build.
+[3145.36 --> 3149.36]  So I can see them doing this and making it work.
+[3149.36 --> 3150.36]  Very interesting.
+[3150.36 --> 3155.36]  So some of the questions brought up in the article is, well, why would Apple need to make their own GPU?
+[3155.36 --> 3164.36]  And the answer is lagging behind competitors in GPU heavy tasks such as their digital assistant, machine learning and augmented and virtual reality.
+[3164.36 --> 3175.36]  So Imagination Technologies stock has crashed since the announcement, since about half of the company's annual revenue came from Apple.
+[3175.36 --> 3177.36]  I mean, this has been rumored forever.
+[3177.36 --> 3181.36]  Do you see Apple pulling this on a MacBook?
+[3181.36 --> 3182.36]  I mean, this isn't a MacBook.
+[3182.36 --> 3183.36]  It's a laptop.
+[3183.36 --> 3184.36]  It's for illustrative purposes only.
+[3184.36 --> 3187.36]  But do you see Apple trying to pull this on the MacBook?
+[3187.36 --> 3190.36]  It's been rumored forever that they want to get Intel out of there.
+[3190.36 --> 3205.36]  And I mean, I would assume it's not that far off for if they're going to replace x86 with their own ARM-based CPUs that they might also just go, okay, yeah, well, screw it.
+[3205.36 --> 3208.36]  Everything's an iPad with a keyboard now.
+[3208.36 --> 3211.36]  So, you know, let's throw our Apple GPU in here.
+[3211.36 --> 3212.36]  Yeah.
+[3212.36 --> 3214.36]  I have no idea what they're going to do.
+[3214.36 --> 3215.36]  Right.
+[3215.36 --> 3221.36]  I mean, we've been talking about them going to ARM for their CPUs forever, and they seem to have never done that, you know.
+[3221.36 --> 3225.36]  So if you keep predicting that, maybe at some point you get to be right.
+[3225.36 --> 3228.36]  But I mean, I don't know.
+[3228.36 --> 3229.36]  I don't know.
+[3229.36 --> 3231.36]  This seems like they get to do what they want.
+[3231.36 --> 3232.36]  They make great stuff.
+[3232.36 --> 3236.36]  And other than that, man, I can't speculate.
+[3236.36 --> 3243.36]  I'm going to keep predicting that they're going to bring back a desktop that you can actually upgrade until it happens.
+[3243.36 --> 3245.36]  What do you think?
+[3245.36 --> 3246.36]  Is my prediction going to work?
+[3246.36 --> 3247.36]  I don't know.
+[3247.36 --> 3249.36]  I like desktops that you can upgrade.
+[3249.36 --> 3251.36]  I like to build my own system, though.
+[3251.36 --> 3253.36]  So probably not the target market there.
+[3253.36 --> 3273.36]  On the subject of upgrading a Mac desktop, NVIDIA to release Pascal drivers for Mac OS, which is a surprising announcement since Apple's desktops since 2013 have been AMD Fire Pro exclusive.
+[3273.36 --> 3277.36]  Or I guess you guys call those...
+[3277.36 --> 3278.36]  Radeon Pro.
+[3278.36 --> 3279.36]  Yeah, Radeon Pro.
+[3279.36 --> 3280.36]  Thank you.
+[3280.36 --> 3293.36]  Anyway, but AMD exclusive since launch, and that used kind of a weird format for the card that you weren't just going to be able to, like, grab some GPU out of a laptop and shunk it in there.
+[3293.36 --> 3297.36]  And then on the laptop side, they've been AMD exclusive for...
+[3297.36 --> 3300.36]  How long now?
+[3300.36 --> 3302.36]  I don't know.
+[3302.36 --> 3303.36]  I don't know.
+[3303.36 --> 3304.36]  Honestly.
+[3304.36 --> 3305.36]  Years.
+[3305.36 --> 3308.36]  Wasn't it ever since the 8600 GT, like, fell apart?
+[3308.36 --> 3309.36]  Yeah.
+[3309.36 --> 3310.36]  I'm really not sure.
+[3310.36 --> 3313.36]  I think it was 9600 maybe.
+[3313.36 --> 3315.36]  It was back in that era.
+[3315.36 --> 3317.36]  Yeah.
+[3317.36 --> 3320.36]  It's been a long time.
+[3320.36 --> 3331.36]  So, given that you can't put an NVIDIA card in a Mac, this is a weird announcement.
+[3331.36 --> 3333.36]  But it might be cool for certain folks.
+[3333.36 --> 3335.36]  So, who are these drivers for?
+[3335.36 --> 3342.36]  Within the Mac community, there's a small but vocal user group based around unsupported external GPUs.
+[3342.36 --> 3352.36]  So, while Mac OS doesn't support external GPUs, it is possible to use Macs with a Thunderbolt EGFX chassis.
+[3352.36 --> 3364.36]  It's also possible, though not supported and definitely against the terms of service of OS X, to install Mac OS on a custom-built PC.
+[3364.36 --> 3365.36]  It's called Hackintosh-ing.
+[3365.36 --> 3367.36]  We've done a video on it in the past.
+[3367.36 --> 3370.36]  So, wow.
+[3370.36 --> 3378.36]  Could this be the start of some kind of a push from NVIDIA to encourage Apple to consider their GPUs in the future?
+[3378.36 --> 3386.36]  Is it just a big middle finger to Apple for not giving users the capability to install their GPUs?
+[3386.36 --> 3396.36]  Is it a way of supporting the Hackintosh community without overtly saying, you know, go buy a Hackintosh and put our GPU in it?
+[3396.36 --> 3399.36]  They just kind of quietly release a driver?
+[3399.36 --> 3404.36]  You know, now that I think about it, if I had to guess, I'd say it's probably the big middle finger.
+[3404.36 --> 3408.36]  Because, I mean, I'm sure you can speak to this at least.
+[3408.36 --> 3410.36]  It's a fair bit of work to develop a driver.
+[3410.36 --> 3411.36]  Yes.
+[3411.36 --> 3412.36]  There you go.
+[3412.36 --> 3415.36]  Yes, that's my comment.
+[3415.36 --> 3430.36]  So, this driver probably is, if you had to guess, is probably a political statement more than a practical investment into selling GPUs to the handful of people running external PCIe boxes.
+[3430.36 --> 3434.36]  Man, I can't comment on that at all.
+[3434.36 --> 3440.36]  They'd put me in a can and shoot me into the sun if I talk about that.
+[3440.36 --> 3442.36]  All right.
+[3442.36 --> 3445.36]  Let's see what else we've got here.
+[3445.36 --> 3450.36]  Actually, we've talked about a lot of the really big stuff.
+[3450.36 --> 3452.36]  Oh, no, this is pretty big.
+[3452.36 --> 3453.36]  Okay.
+[3453.36 --> 3464.36]  So, Google and Facebook, around the time that one Mr. Donald J. Trump was elected President of the Free United States of America,
+[3464.36 --> 3484.36]  Google and Facebook were both engaged in a very earnest discussion industry-wide about fake articles that were running around claiming to be news.
+[3484.36 --> 3490.36]  And to be clear, I'm not, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm staying out of it today anyway.
+[3490.36 --> 3506.36]  I'm staying out of it today and I will say this, that both sides, right and left, participated in the whole fake news echo chamber nonsense.
+[3506.36 --> 3507.36]  Okay.
+[3507.36 --> 3509.36]  There is no such thing.
+[3509.36 --> 3522.36]  And this is, this is probably one of the closest things to, to an impartial, you know, journalistic approach to writing anything that I've ever had the pleasure of, you know, actually engaging with.
+[3522.36 --> 3527.36]  And would you agree that it is impossible to have zero bias?
+[3527.36 --> 3528.36]  Yeah.
+[3528.36 --> 3529.36]  Yeah.
+[3529.36 --> 3532.36]  And, and that's why this whole discussion seems weird to me.
+[3532.36 --> 3533.36]  Right.
+[3533.36 --> 3537.36]  And, and I, I never heard of fake news until after the election.
+[3537.36 --> 3538.36]  Right.
+[3538.36 --> 3540.36]  And then all of a sudden it was a thing that we were all going to fix.
+[3540.36 --> 3547.36]  Like, like if you solve that problem, then maybe if you didn't like the election outcome, then, then that would fix it.
+[3547.36 --> 3553.36]  And it seems like you, like, have you like, look, I don't, I didn't like either one of our choices in the last election.
+[3553.36 --> 3554.36]  Yeah.
+[3554.36 --> 3556.36]  But have you seen Hillary Clinton speak?
+[3556.36 --> 3559.36]  Cause I don't think the problem with her candidacy was fake news.
+[3559.36 --> 3562.36]  Like it might've been the charisma black hole.
+[3562.36 --> 3565.36]  I'm just saying.
+[3565.36 --> 3566.36]  I'm Canadian.
+[3566.36 --> 3569.36]  I didn't even have to pretend to make a choice.
+[3569.36 --> 3574.36]  So it's, I didn't envy y'all down there, you know, do an American choice making.
+[3574.36 --> 3577.36]  It was not a happy thing to go into that voting booth.
+[3577.36 --> 3581.36]  Let me tell you, but, but I, this, this doesn't seem like a fix for anything.
+[3581.36 --> 3598.36]  But you know what I agree with, I agree with your, with your observation in that I had heard of the whole fake news thing, but I hadn't seen Hillary Clinton specifically complain about it and say it is a problem we need to solve until after the results came in.
+[3598.36 --> 3599.36]  Yeah.
+[3599.36 --> 3605.36]  And if you really felt that way about it, then it should have been the kind of thing that you were talking about in earnest.
+[3605.36 --> 3611.36]  It might've been mentioned, not sure, but it should have been talked about in earnest before the results.
+[3611.36 --> 3623.36]  Um, and part of that could have just been hubris, you know, it could have just been, you know, the assumption that none of this even is important compared to other things because this is a, the election's a foregone conclusion anyway.
+[3623.36 --> 3628.36]  Um, but it still comes across a little insincere when you complain about it after the fact.
+[3628.36 --> 3644.36]  So anyway, I do agree that something needs to be done, but I don't know if our benevolent overlords at Google and Facebook are necessarily the ones that I would choose.
+[3644.36 --> 3673.36]  But like it or not, they are the gatekeepers to the information that a huge chunk of the world, not just America needs and like it or not, whether they like it or not, they are in this position where they've determined that they have a responsibility to filter or otherwise protect people from fake news.
+[3674.36 --> 3691.36]  So the original article here for the Google bit, and, um, this is off arstechnica.com, I love this site, is Google expands their automatic fact check insertion into search results.
+[3691.36 --> 3696.36]  Um, though you'll want to phrase your searches very carefully to trigger it, the article warns us.
+[3696.36 --> 3703.36]  So basically, they've officially rolled out an automatic fact check tag program on their search pages.
+[3703.36 --> 3715.36]  So small snippets will display information about the claim made by a particular page, and who made the claim, as well as the results of fact checking on the highlighted claim.
+[3715.36 --> 3722.36]  You will only see this if you specifically type in an oft repeated claim.
+[3722.36 --> 3728.36]  For example, if you search for the phrase, how many undocumented immigrants are in the United States?
+[3728.36 --> 3732.36]  Normal search results appear with a mix of answers and data points.
+[3732.36 --> 3749.36]  But specifically searching 34 million undocumented immigrants will bring up a fact check box that credits President Donald Trump with the claim, along with a direct link to PolitiFact's pants on fire fact checked rating.
+[3749.36 --> 3768.36]  So the fact checks, to be clear, are not performed by Google, which absolves Google of responsibility, sort of, except that they're also presenting this as fact check, which has a pretty specific meaning in the dictionary.
+[3768.36 --> 3780.36]  And they're using trusted publishers and fact checkers using an open system to mark claims as having been checked and the service has been rolled out worldwide.
+[3780.36 --> 3781.36]  Any thoughts?
+[3781.36 --> 3782.36]  Any thoughts?
+[3782.36 --> 3783.36]  So a couple of them.
+[3783.36 --> 3788.36]  We just sort of established, I think, that we kind of agreed that it's very hard not to be biased.
+[3788.36 --> 3794.36]  PolitiFact maybe falls into that category, too.
+[3794.36 --> 3798.36]  I'm not sure that they're always a great source.
+[3798.36 --> 3802.36]  I think that they may have sometimes their own political agenda.
+[3802.36 --> 3805.36]  And so putting them out there as an authority?
+[3805.36 --> 3807.36]  I don't know.
+[3807.36 --> 3812.36]  Another thing about this that is interesting to me, and I'd be interested to hear what you think.
+[3812.36 --> 3826.36]  I think one of the things that has happened with Google and Facebook being these sort of gatekeepers to the internet is that it has become difficult for content creators to make money off of web publishing and things like this.
+[3826.36 --> 3831.36]  Which is why now we have the New York Times running clickbait headlines.
+[3831.36 --> 3832.36]  Yeah.
+[3832.36 --> 3834.36]  Which is a crazy media world now, right?
+[3834.36 --> 3835.36]  It's crazy.
+[3835.36 --> 3845.36]  And so I think Google and Facebook bear some responsibility for the situation as it now exists because they seem to take a lot of that money instead of the creators.
+[3845.36 --> 3846.36]  I see.
+[3846.36 --> 3847.36]  That's an interesting take.
+[3847.36 --> 3864.36]  And I think that the reason that we have a lot of kind of poor reporting and like bad vetting of facts is because those institutions that used to do a good job are a lot poorer than they used to be.
+[3864.36 --> 3865.36]  That's interesting.
+[3865.36 --> 3892.36]  So Facebook has kind of a, or Google has something of a moral responsibility to deal with the mess that they've made where they've created an environment in which well-funded, well-staffed publications were able to make money online and publish that information and actually get the click through.
+[3892.36 --> 3898.36]  Because through your Facebook feed or through a Google search with just like the answer.
+[3898.36 --> 3900.36]  Like you don't even have to click through to Wikipedia.
+[3900.36 --> 3901.36]  Right.
+[3901.36 --> 3903.36]  To get an answer to a Google search these days.
+[3903.36 --> 3909.36]  So you think they bear like a moral responsibility to deal with this to an extent?
+[3909.36 --> 3910.36]  To an extent.
+[3910.36 --> 3917.36]  And I think maybe the part of the answer is view content, and you guys deal with this with them in a more positive way.
+[3917.36 --> 3925.36]  But view content creators as partners who you value and find a way that you partner with them where they can be solvent doing what they do.
+[3925.36 --> 3926.36]  Right.
+[3926.36 --> 3935.36]  And in some cases that means publications that have large staffs of reporters and fact checkers who do the right thing instead of, you know, the BuzzFeeds of the world or whatever.
+[3935.36 --> 3936.36]  Right.
+[3936.36 --> 3937.36]  Right.
+[3937.36 --> 3942.36]  If you're not slinging any mud at BuzzFeed, there's a place for BuzzFeed too at the bottom of the ocean.
+[3942.36 --> 3944.36]  There's no mud at the bottom of the ocean.
+[3944.36 --> 3945.36]  We can't sling mud there.
+[3945.36 --> 3946.36]  There you go.
+[3946.36 --> 3949.36]  Well, there's lots of mud there, but anyway.
+[3949.36 --> 3950.36]  Okay.
+[3950.36 --> 3952.36]  Now let's talk about Facebook's approach.
+[3952.36 --> 3955.36]  So Facebook, our original article here is from Business Insider.
+[3955.36 --> 3957.36]  Let's go ahead and pull that up.
+[3957.36 --> 3963.36]  Speaking of not generating click through for Business Insider, so like I said, we will have links to go read the full article.
+[3963.36 --> 3965.36]  Anyway, here's the summary.
+[3965.36 --> 3967.36]  Don't have to click on.
+[3967.36 --> 3981.36]  Basically, the social network is adding a box to the top of its news feed for users in 14 countries that offers to provide tips on spotting fake news.
+[3981.36 --> 3990.36]  If the user decides to click on it, they're taken to Facebook's Help Center where it provides 10 helpful tips for spotting fake news.
+[3990.36 --> 3996.36]  What they've said, and you know, you can take this with a grain of salt, is that it is not a permanent addition to Facebook.
+[3996.36 --> 4000.36]  It'll only be there for a few days, they said in a blog post.
+[4000.36 --> 4007.36]  But they are working on more ways to flag to users that a post may be false.
+[4007.36 --> 4012.36]  For example, by making it easier for the community to report misleading content.
+[4012.36 --> 4016.36]  So they're under particular pressure to deal with fake news in Europe.
+[4016.36 --> 4026.36]  This week, Germany approved a bill to fine social networks up to 50 million euro if they don't remove fake news quickly enough.
+[4026.36 --> 4033.36]  So that'll motivate the engineers to get on that fake news removal.
+[4033.36 --> 4039.36]  But again, like putting Facebook in charge of it, putting the community in charge of it.
+[4039.36 --> 4040.36]  Community is the problem.
+[4040.36 --> 4043.36]  Where do you think fake news comes from?
+[4043.36 --> 4048.36]  People creating it, people creating it, and then people sharing it and liking it.
+[4048.36 --> 4050.36]  And being like, oh wow, this is amazing.
+[4050.36 --> 4055.36]  I can't believe this herbal supplement can change my life in just, you know, four days.
+[4055.36 --> 4060.36]  That's my voice of people who believe fake news.
+[4060.36 --> 4061.36]  That's pretty good.
+[4061.36 --> 4062.36]  That's pretty good.
+[4062.36 --> 4063.36]  I believe it.
+[4063.36 --> 4064.36]  Wow, this steroid cream!
+[4064.36 --> 4068.36]  I can gain 18 pounds of pure muscle in just a week!
+[4068.36 --> 4071.36]  I'm pretty sure that's what they all sound like.
+[4071.36 --> 4084.36]  So, I think I like a help center with tips for spotting fake news better than I like a community run thing.
+[4084.36 --> 4092.36]  Because that just seems like it's going to turn into like a war between r slash the Donald and r slash most of the rest of Reddit.
+[4092.36 --> 4096.36]  But, good luck with that.
+[4096.36 --> 4099.36]  And I hope you avoid that 50 million euro fine.
+[4099.36 --> 4101.36]  Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
+[4101.36 --> 4103.36]  You've got to be at two minds about this.
+[4103.36 --> 4111.36]  Because if there's something out there that's really awful, fake, dumb, and people are sharing it, maybe they should do something about it.
+[4111.36 --> 4112.36]  But where do you draw the line?
+[4112.36 --> 4113.36]  Where do you decide?
+[4113.36 --> 4114.36]  Right?
+[4114.36 --> 4119.36]  And do you trust one of these big companies to make that call for you?
+[4119.36 --> 4129.36]  And another where is the line moment is, you know, is Facebook really responsible for it if that is genuine user created content?
+[4129.36 --> 4132.36]  I don't know.
+[4132.36 --> 4147.36]  There's certainly, okay, in my mind they are certainly responsible for it if this is like something that is pretending to be fake news but is actually sponsored content where they're making money by disseminating false information.
+[4147.36 --> 4151.36]  That is a fairly obvious one from my standpoint.
+[4151.36 --> 4165.36]  And I'm not just talking like a link to someone's, to a website where it's, you know, the link to htc vive.com where it says, we make the greatest VR headset of all time.
+[4165.36 --> 4167.36]  Where it's obviously a store.
+[4167.36 --> 4171.36]  I'm talking the ones where it appears to be an article or a testimonial.
+[4171.36 --> 4180.36]  My wife actually recently met someone who worked as an actress to do fake testimonials.
+[4180.36 --> 4191.36]  So she would put on a lab coat and she'd talk about, you know, my patients experience, you know, an improvement in their symptoms in 92% of cases on this drug.
+[4191.36 --> 4192.36]  Hmm.
+[4192.36 --> 4199.36]  And that's like, it's this shady kind of underground acting industry.
+[4199.36 --> 4200.36]  Right.
+[4200.36 --> 4209.36]  And, you know, there where Facebook is actually making money off of this information being spread, there's a clear responsibility to remove it.
+[4209.36 --> 4213.36]  But something user generated is really a fine line.
+[4213.36 --> 4218.36]  And I'm sure Twitch chat is absolutely full of free speech stuff.
+[4218.36 --> 4226.36]  But what you have to understand is that the right to free speech does not cover posting on a private platform.
+[4226.36 --> 4232.36]  You are not entitled to say anything you want, anywhere you want, without being given the boot.
+[4232.36 --> 4236.36]  What you are entitled to do is criticize your government without being imprisoned.
+[4236.36 --> 4237.36]  It doesn't cover certain stuff.
+[4237.36 --> 4252.36]  So just to be clear, free speech is not just like, you know, a carte blanche to say, I'm not going to say it because the one time I said, I said, we can't say this.
+[4252.36 --> 4258.36]  Naturally, clips of me saying it were all over the internet the next day with the cut off the beginning part.
+[4258.36 --> 4268.36]  But, yeah, it is not actually a license to say anything you want on the Linus Tech Tips forum, for example.
+[4268.36 --> 4270.36]  We can edit your post.
+[4270.36 --> 4272.36]  We can delete your post.
+[4272.36 --> 4274.36]  We can nuke your account.
+[4274.36 --> 4276.36]  That's our right.
+[4276.36 --> 4280.36]  So, there you go.
+[4280.36 --> 4283.36]  Spoken like somebody who's moderated a forum for a while.
+[4283.36 --> 4286.36]  Oh, yeah, our Google AdSense was turned off permanently like two years ago.
+[4286.36 --> 4291.36]  Because there was a post your wallpapers thread that ended up with a bunch of porn in it.
+[4291.36 --> 4297.36]  It's like, post your wallpapers within reason, smart guys and gals.
+[4297.36 --> 4300.36]  Anyway, that's pretty much it for me.
+[4300.36 --> 4303.36]  I don't have much else in the doc here that I feel like I need to cover.
+[4303.36 --> 4308.36]  Oh, we've got people asking you to talk about Vega.
+[4308.36 --> 4309.36]  Okay.
+[4309.36 --> 4312.36]  So, you got three minutes.
+[4312.36 --> 4313.36]  Riff on Vega.
+[4313.36 --> 4318.36]  Can you tell them anything they don't already know and aren't already really excited about?
+[4318.36 --> 4319.36]  It depends on what they know.
+[4319.36 --> 4322.36]  I mean, they sat here for over an hour watching us talk.
+[4322.36 --> 4324.36]  We've got to reward them somehow.
+[4324.36 --> 4325.36]  Think of the people.
+[4325.36 --> 4327.36]  Vega has returned to high-end GPUs.
+[4327.36 --> 4328.36]  Oh, we know that.
+[4328.36 --> 4329.36]  Yes, yes, yes.
+[4329.36 --> 4333.36]  So, biggest architectural change in the last five years.
+[4333.36 --> 4334.36]  Yeah, we know that too.
+[4334.36 --> 4335.36]  Yeah, yeah.
+[4335.36 --> 4336.36]  Okay.
+[4336.36 --> 4339.36]  So, what are you looking for?
+[4339.36 --> 4342.36]  I want to know if NVIDIA is going to get knocked down a peg.
+[4342.36 --> 4344.36]  Well, that's the plan.
+[4344.36 --> 4345.36]  Okay.
+[4345.36 --> 4348.36]  But, you know, I can't tell you anything.
+[4348.36 --> 4352.36]  Anything too detailed at this point in time.
+[4352.36 --> 4353.36]  I'm sorry.
+[4353.36 --> 4354.36]  It's not coming.
+[4354.36 --> 4355.36]  Tell me this.
+[4355.36 --> 4356.36]  Yeah.
+[4356.36 --> 4361.36]  Can you not tell us anything because you don't know or because you just can't tell us?
+[4361.36 --> 4363.36]  Some of each, right?
+[4363.36 --> 4364.36]  Some of each.
+[4364.36 --> 4365.36]  So, you know things.
+[4365.36 --> 4366.36]  I know things.
+[4366.36 --> 4367.36]  You know things.
+[4367.36 --> 4368.36]  You know things.
+[4368.36 --> 4369.36]  I know some things.
+[4369.36 --> 4370.36]  Yeah.
+[4370.36 --> 4371.36]  All right.
+[4371.36 --> 4373.36]  Well, thanks for watching, guys.
+[4373.36 --> 4375.36]  We're going to say goodbye for this week.
+[4375.36 --> 4380.36]  Special thanks to Scott for flying all the way out here from Timbuktu because he doesn't
+[4380.36 --> 4385.36]  actually work out of AMD's headquarters and joining us here today.
+[4385.36 --> 4387.36]  And, yeah, I think that's pretty much it.
+[4387.36 --> 4388.36]  We'll see you again next week.
+[4388.36 --> 4389.36]  Same bat time.
+[4389.36 --> 4390.36]  Same bat channel.
+[4390.36 --> 4392.36]  Same bat channel.
+[4392.36 --> 4395.36]  So many of our viewers don't get that reference.
+[4395.36 --> 4396.36]  Yeah.
+[4396.36 --> 4397.36]  Yeah.
+[4397.36 --> 4401.36]  I only get it because my mom loved the show and we had like recorded VHS's that I would
+[4401.36 --> 4402.36]  watch as a kid.
+[4402.36 --> 4404.36]  Like it's sort of before my time too.
+[4404.36 --> 4405.36]  Yeah.
+[4405.36 --> 4409.36]  I was going to say that's, that's, I, I, I, I vaguely know about it, but I don't know

+[9.66 --> 10.46]  Yay!
+[10.46 --> 11.46]  We've got...
+[11.46 --> 13.46]  We're totally doing this for the first time.
+[13.46 --> 16.60]  We've actually got some pretty crap topics this week.
+[16.60 --> 17.40]  No!
+[17.40 --> 18.40]  Yup, they're crap.
+[18.40 --> 19.90]  We do have a couple...
+[19.90 --> 20.90]  We can polish it.
+[20.90 --> 22.90]  We...
+[22.90 --> 26.70]  You can polish the crap as long as it's not diarrhea.
+[26.70 --> 30.70]  Oh, man.
+[30.70 --> 32.70]  Try and polish diarrhea, you just end up with a...
+[32.70 --> 33.70]  That would be a more advanced process.
+[33.70 --> 34.70]  With a poop smear.
+[34.70 --> 38.70]  Well, you could like put it in like an ice cube tray.
+[38.70 --> 40.70]  Oh, so you freeze it.
+[40.70 --> 41.70]  Freeze it.
+[41.70 --> 42.70]  Freeze it, then polish it.
+[42.70 --> 43.70]  Yeah.
+[43.70 --> 44.70]  That could work.
+[44.70 --> 45.70]  More work.
+[45.70 --> 46.70]  That could work.
+[46.70 --> 48.70]  I mean, can you imagine a poop ice cube?
+[48.70 --> 51.70]  Like, what would be an appropriate context for that?
+[51.70 --> 53.70]  I mean, if you're...
+[53.70 --> 57.70]  If you need improvised projectiles, that might also cause disease.
+[57.70 --> 58.70]  Yeah.
+[58.70 --> 61.70]  So if you're this far into the show and you're thinking, hmm, is this gonna be one of those
+[61.70 --> 65.70]  ones where they actually have tech news or is this gonna be one of the ones where they
+[65.70 --> 67.70]  just BS for an hour?
+[67.70 --> 69.70]  Hopefully that's already clear.
+[69.70 --> 70.70]  Yeah.
+[70.70 --> 71.70]  We do have some...
+[71.70 --> 72.70]  We do have some real topics though.
+[72.70 --> 75.70]  Crash plan for home says au revoir.

+[86.70 --> 87.70]  Jailed.
+[87.70 --> 89.70]  Oh, this just in.
+[89.70 --> 95.70]  Intel's 8th generation mobile processors are just updated 7th generation tips.
+[95.70 --> 96.70]  Tips?
+[96.70 --> 97.70]  Chips.
+[97.70 --> 98.70]  They're not tips at all.
+[98.70 --> 99.70]  Oops.
+[100.70 --> 101.70]  I'm sorry.
+[101.70 --> 102.70]  I'm having one of those days.
+[102.70 --> 104.70]  But the tip of them has been updated.
+[104.70 --> 105.70]  I'm gonna argue jet lag.
+[105.70 --> 107.70]  But it's essentially the same jet lag.
+[107.70 --> 110.70]  You know I was in New York this week, right?
+[110.70 --> 111.70]  Yeah, but didn't...
+[111.70 --> 112.70]  Oh no, you got back yesterday.
+[112.70 --> 113.70]  I got back...
+[113.70 --> 114.70]  Okay.
+[114.70 --> 115.70]  I got...
+[115.70 --> 122.70]  Okay, I was at the airport in New York at 5.30 Eastern time yesterday.
+[122.70 --> 123.70]  Whoa.
+[123.70 --> 132.70]  So at 3.30 home time, I was at an airport getting on what would have been a 5.30 our time flight.
+[132.70 --> 133.70]  Getting off.
+[133.70 --> 134.70]  No, on.
+[134.70 --> 135.70]  Boarding.
+[135.70 --> 136.70]  At this airport?
+[136.70 --> 137.70]  At that airport.
+[137.70 --> 138.70]  Oh.
+[138.70 --> 146.70]  Then I flew for 6 hours and I got off the plane at 10.30 a.m. our time and came to the office for the day.
+[146.70 --> 147.70]  So I'm going with it.
+[147.70 --> 148.70]  I'm going with the jet lag.
+[148.70 --> 151.70]  You did seem very tired that day and I was like, huh?
+[151.70 --> 152.70]  Okay, sure.
+[152.70 --> 156.70]  Well, did you notice that I was only gone for about 35 hours?
+[156.70 --> 157.70]  No.
+[157.70 --> 158.70]  I wasn't here.
+[158.70 --> 159.70]  Yeah.
+[159.70 --> 162.70]  To New York and back, plus doing the entire Samsung event on my own.
+[162.70 --> 163.70]  On your own?
+[163.70 --> 165.70]  Okay, I only vaguely heard about this.
+[165.70 --> 166.70]  I had no camera person.
+[166.70 --> 167.70]  Why?
+[167.70 --> 168.70]  Because...
+[168.70 --> 169.70]  You know what?
+[169.70 --> 170.70]  Okay, we'll get to it after the intro.
+[170.70 --> 171.70]  Okay.
+[171.70 --> 173.70]  So the Vega shortage could last until October.
+[173.70 --> 174.70]  Intro.
+[174.70 --> 175.70]  Boom.
+[175.70 --> 178.70]  I mean, who really cares anyway?
+[178.70 --> 179.70]  Who is buying Vega?
+[179.70 --> 180.70]  Okay, does this work?
+[180.70 --> 181.70]  I don't know.
+[181.70 --> 182.70]  Uh, not yet.
+[182.70 --> 183.70]  Okay.
+[183.70 --> 184.70]  What the crap?
+[184.70 --> 185.70]  Wait, what about the other one?
+[185.70 --> 186.70]  Why don't I just try the other one?
+[186.70 --> 187.70]  Yeah, yeah.
+[187.70 --> 188.70]  Okay.
+[188.70 --> 189.70]  Sponsors.
+[189.70 --> 190.70]  Fresh books!
+[190.70 --> 191.70]  They're books that are fresh.
+[191.70 --> 192.70]  Savage jerky!
+[192.70 --> 193.70]  It's less fresh because it's preserved.
+[193.70 --> 194.70]  Because it's jerky and smoked.
+[194.70 --> 195.70]  But relative.
+[195.70 --> 196.70]  Relative.
+[196.70 --> 197.70]  Yeah.
+[197.70 --> 198.70]  I mean, who really cares anyway?
+[198.70 --> 199.70]  Who is buying Vega?
+[199.70 --> 200.70]  Okay, does this work?
+[200.70 --> 201.70]  I don't know.
+[201.70 --> 202.70]  Uh, not yet.
+[202.70 --> 203.70]  Okay.
+[203.70 --> 204.70]  What the crap?
+[204.70 --> 205.70]  Wait, what about the other one?
+[205.70 --> 206.70]  Why don't I just try the other one?
+[206.70 --> 207.70]  Yeah, yeah.
+[207.70 --> 208.70]  Relative.
+[208.70 --> 209.70]  To jerky.
+[209.70 --> 210.70]  Yeah, relative to other jerky.
+[210.70 --> 211.70]  I guess it's fresh.
+[211.70 --> 212.70]  Yeah.
+[212.70 --> 214.70]  In that there's less preservatives than nitrates.
+[214.70 --> 215.70]  Yeah.
+[215.70 --> 216.70]  Okay, hold on.
+[216.70 --> 217.70]  I'm gonna put this back.
+[217.70 --> 218.70]  Let me see.
+[218.70 --> 220.70]  But why isn't my screen share working?
+[220.70 --> 221.70]  Confused.
+[221.70 --> 222.70]  Confused.
+[222.70 --> 224.70]  Disappointed!
+[224.70 --> 226.70]  Confused and disappointed.
+[226.70 --> 227.70]  And, uh, hold on.
+[227.70 --> 228.70]  I didn't have the thing on.
+[228.70 --> 229.70]  And, no, it's...
+[229.70 --> 230.70]  Still not working.
+[230.70 --> 231.70]  Still not working.
+[231.70 --> 233.70]  I don't understand!
+[233.70 --> 234.70]  Okay.
+[234.70 --> 235.70]  Um, also...
+[235.70 --> 236.70]  This might be...
+[236.70 --> 237.70]  This is like...
+[237.70 --> 238.70]  This is the official end.
+[238.70 --> 239.70]  Is that...
+[239.70 --> 240.70]  The official end of...
+[240.70 --> 241.70]  XSplit?
+[241.70 --> 242.70]  The end of XSplit?
+[242.70 --> 243.70]  I don't know.
+[243.70 --> 244.70]  Okay, well that's...
+[244.70 --> 246.70]  Because, A-V-I-O...
+[246.70 --> 248.70]  Um, has issues with XSplit.
+[248.70 --> 249.70]  Yeah.
+[249.70 --> 250.70]  And blames it on XSplit.
+[250.70 --> 253.70]  And refuses to do things because they blame it on XSplit.
+[253.70 --> 254.70]  Yeah, that's, um...
+[254.70 --> 255.70]  It's not...
+[255.70 --> 256.70]  Epiphan.
+[256.70 --> 257.70]  Epiphan.
+[257.70 --> 258.70]  Yeah, no, I'm...
+[258.70 --> 260.70]  So, okay, that's probably a topic of discussion.
+[260.70 --> 263.70]  Is it finally time for us to move to OBS?
+[263.70 --> 265.70]  Let's find out.
+[265.70 --> 272.70]  Um, and actually another good discussion topic that we've got here is, is float plane dying?
+[272.70 --> 273.70]  What?
+[273.70 --> 279.70]  I don't know what would make people think that, but that is definitely a, uh, I'm stoked on that as a topic of conversation.
+[279.70 --> 281.70]  What is that topic? Where does that come from?
+[281.70 --> 283.70]  I have no idea where that came from.
+[283.70 --> 285.70]  Was that just, like, posted in the doc?
+[285.70 --> 289.70]  What were we talking about before we rolled the intro and I said we were gonna talk about it after the intro?
+[289.70 --> 290.70]  Uh...
+[292.70 --> 293.70]  I don't know.
+[293.70 --> 294.70]  Crap.
+[294.70 --> 297.70]  I have no idea whatsoever.
+[297.70 --> 299.70]  Maybe Twitch chat will help us with this.
+[299.70 --> 301.70]  Is float plane dying? Where did you get that from?
+[301.70 --> 303.70]  But I'm, uh...
+[303.70 --> 304.70]  It's not.
+[304.70 --> 305.70]  Yeah, it's not.
+[305.70 --> 306.70]  Hold on, are they gonna help us?
+[306.70 --> 307.70]  It's doing quite well.
+[307.70 --> 309.70]  People are asking if I dye my hair.
+[309.70 --> 310.70]  Oh, the trip to New York, that's right.
+[310.70 --> 311.70]  Ah!
+[311.70 --> 312.70]  Why did I dye my hair?
+[312.70 --> 313.70]  I'm only 31.
+[313.70 --> 315.70]  I can't believe I'm 31.
+[315.70 --> 318.70]  That's not too bad.
+[318.70 --> 319.70]  It's not too great.
+[319.70 --> 321.70]  You look like a very young 31.
+[321.70 --> 322.70]  Thanks.
+[322.70 --> 328.70]  That's like saying, you know, for a corpse, you really don't look that decomposed.
+[328.70 --> 330.70]  You don't look like you're in your 30s.
+[330.70 --> 331.70]  So don't worry about it.
+[331.70 --> 333.70]  I wouldn't assume that you're in your 30s.
+[333.70 --> 336.70]  You've aged a lot since you, like, had kids and started this group.
+[336.70 --> 337.70]  Thanks.
+[337.70 --> 338.70]  But me too!
+[338.70 --> 339.70]  It started nice!
+[339.70 --> 340.70]  It started nice!
+[340.70 --> 344.70]  It started, you look really great for your 30s, then it's like, but wow man, you are really
+[344.70 --> 346.70]  on a downward slope, dude.
+[346.70 --> 347.70]  I am too!
+[347.70 --> 349.70]  Yeah, but you can just shave your beard and you'll...
+[349.70 --> 351.70]  Right back to baby face!
+[351.70 --> 352.70]  It's not fair!
+[352.70 --> 353.70]  It looks horrible though.
+[353.70 --> 354.70]  It doesn't...
+[354.70 --> 355.70]  Well...
+[355.70 --> 357.70]  Okay, yeah, you know what?
+[357.70 --> 360.70]  I'm going after it because this is payback time, baby.
+[360.70 --> 361.70]  Alright.
+[361.70 --> 362.70]  Your face looks horrible enough that you have to hide it behind here.
+[362.70 --> 363.70]  Bam!
+[363.70 --> 364.70]  That's right!
+[364.70 --> 365.70]  Screw you, dick!
+[365.70 --> 366.70]  I'm maybe old, but at least I can show my face!
+[366.70 --> 367.70]  Where is it?
+[367.70 --> 368.70]  I wonder if I can find it.
+[368.70 --> 370.70]  There's the Instagram post from when I had to shave for that video that we didn't get
+[370.70 --> 371.70]  to release.
+[371.70 --> 372.70]  Yeah, I know.
+[372.70 --> 373.70]  Oh, the comments on there are hilarious.
+[373.70 --> 374.70]  I know, they're so bad.
+[374.70 --> 375.70]  I think there's people that, like, legitimately think I'm a different person.
+[375.70 --> 390.48]  Okay, but you know what though, in your defense, I think part of why it doesn't work for you, though, is because your hairdo is kind of like, you have like, a choir board or a
+[390.48 --> 391.48]  choir boy...
+[391.48 --> 392.48]  I think it did better when I had like, the spikes.
+[392.48 --> 393.48]  Yeah.
+[393.48 --> 408.48]  You have a choir boy hairdo, but then you offset it with the kind of rugged facial hair.
+[408.48 --> 409.48]  Yeah.
+[409.48 --> 414.48]  So when you have like, the no facial hair, and then you just have like, the nice kind of...
+[414.48 --> 415.48]  Yeah.
+[415.48 --> 417.48]  You just, you go kind of like, yeah, kind of choir boy.
+[417.48 --> 418.48]  Yeah.
+[418.48 --> 422.48]  I think when I had, when I had the spikes, or when I just had like, the faux hawk kind
+[422.48 --> 425.48]  of deal, or just short hair in general, I think it, I think it did a little bit better.
+[425.48 --> 426.48]  Yeah.
+[426.48 --> 428.48]  Okay, so we were supposed to talk about the trip to New York.
+[428.48 --> 429.48]  Yes.
+[429.48 --> 430.48]  Okay, so here's what went down.
+[430.48 --> 431.48]  Okay.
+[431.48 --> 434.48]  I have never been invited to a Samsung launch event before.
+[434.48 --> 436.48]  This is the first time...
+[436.48 --> 438.48]  Oh, because you've just had like, the meetings.
+[438.48 --> 439.48]  Yeah.
+[439.48 --> 442.48]  So I've had meetings with like, Samsung Canada.
+[442.48 --> 443.48]  Yeah.
+[443.48 --> 447.48]  Where I'll go to like, a hotel in Vancouver, or a restaurant one time, and...
+[447.48 --> 454.48]  I'll get briefed on the phone, and a lot of the time, this is like a week or two after...
+[454.48 --> 455.48]  Yes.
+[455.48 --> 462.48]  Like the Unpacked event, and Marques, and Jonathan Morrison, and Austin, all those guys like,
+[462.48 --> 463.48]  have full reviews up.
+[463.48 --> 468.48]  And I'm getting briefed, and I'm seeing the device for the first time, because, get this,
+[468.48 --> 471.48]  because, it's just launching in Canada now.
+[471.48 --> 472.48]  Yeah.
+[473.48 --> 475.48]  Which is like, super stupid.
+[475.48 --> 480.48]  As though I should give any cares, when it launches in Canada.
+[481.48 --> 484.48]  Nobody cares, when a device launches in Canada.
+[484.48 --> 486.48]  And the kind of stuff they'll cover at these briefings is great.
+[486.48 --> 491.48]  They're like, yeah, and the blue color is going to be available exclusively on Rogers.
+[493.48 --> 495.48]  Why, I did that, but...
+[495.48 --> 496.48]  Okay.
+[496.48 --> 500.48]  Someone will find out from the video that they're interested in the phone, go to Rogers.com,
+[500.48 --> 502.48]  and be like, oh, there's blue.
+[502.48 --> 503.48]  And they'll buy it.
+[503.48 --> 504.48]  Cool.
+[504.48 --> 506.48]  And then they'll slap a skin on it anyways.
+[506.48 --> 510.48]  Or they'll never go to Rogers.com, and never know that they had a blue one, and not care.
+[511.48 --> 512.48]  Yeah.
+[512.48 --> 513.48]  In all likelihood.
+[513.48 --> 514.48]  If we're being honest right now.
+[514.48 --> 515.48]  A vast, vast percentage of people.
+[515.48 --> 517.48]  So that's what always happened.
+[517.48 --> 525.48]  So I was super stoked to get an invite to the Samsung Unpacked event, because that meant that I could actually do a hands-on video at the same time that...
+[525.48 --> 530.48]  And every other press in the world, mind you, The Verge had an article, or had a video up,
+[530.48 --> 534.48]  while Austin and I were sitting there at the audience going, why do we even attend these things?
+[534.48 --> 536.48]  Like, honestly.
+[536.48 --> 537.48]  Ugh.
+[537.48 --> 539.48]  Why are we even here?
+[539.48 --> 540.48]  What's the point?
+[540.48 --> 543.48]  But that's a whole other conversation.
+[543.48 --> 545.48]  The Verge had a video.
+[545.48 --> 548.48]  So they invited me up, and I was like, oh, this is great.
+[548.48 --> 549.48]  Yeah, I'd love to go do it.
+[549.48 --> 551.48]  You know, you want to build that relationship.
+[551.48 --> 556.48]  I want to be timely on mobile stuff, if I can at all manage to do it.
+[556.48 --> 563.48]  And then I'm like, okay, yeah, so we need two tickets, me and a camera person, which I think is fairly reasonable for a publication of our impact.
+[563.48 --> 568.48]  And they're like, oh, sorry, you can't bring a camera person.
+[568.48 --> 574.48]  And I'm like, okay, well, can I just pay for their ticket and pay for their hotel?
+[574.48 --> 575.48]  Or even just share a room?
+[575.48 --> 576.48]  Like, I don't care.
+[576.48 --> 581.48]  Like, most of the camera people here I'm buddy-buddy enough with that we could just share a room, no problem.
+[581.48 --> 586.48]  And then they're like, no, we can't get you another ticket for the event.
+[586.48 --> 589.48]  So even if I brought my own camera person there-
+[589.48 --> 590.48]  You can't get them inside.
+[590.48 --> 596.48]  They could only get me one ticket into the event because, again, it's because I'm going through Samsung Canada.
+[596.48 --> 601.48]  Samsung Canada had 12 tickets for the entire country.
+[601.48 --> 607.48]  I was going as far as like, is this like a fire marshal issue? Like they literally can't bring more people into the building?
+[607.48 --> 613.48]  It was full. But the problem is that Canada's allocation was so little of it that-
+[613.48 --> 614.48]  Right.
+[614.48 --> 618.48]  That- so Austin had three people there.
+[619.48 --> 626.48]  Because- but he didn't get his hotel and flight paid for and he didn't get like- there was this activation after where-
+[626.48 --> 627.48]  Why did he need three people?
+[627.48 --> 634.48]  I was supposed to have- like, get this, I was supposed to have two to three thousand dollars to go experience New York with the Note 8.
+[634.48 --> 637.48]  And they were like, yeah, you could do like a chopper flight or you could do this, you could-
+[637.48 --> 642.48]  I didn't end up doing anything because I was busy editing my stupid video that I shot that day.
+[642.48 --> 644.48]  So I didn't even end up using it.
+[644.48 --> 652.48]  But it was like, you guys- you guys have all this like, influencer budget, but I can't bring a camera person to the event with me. Come on.
+[652.48 --> 656.48]  So Austin didn't have that because that was just something Samsung Canada was doing.
+[656.48 --> 662.48]  But this just all leads back to like a larger fundamental issue, which is how fragmented-
+[662.48 --> 663.48]  Disconnected.
+[663.48 --> 664.48]  Yes!
+[664.48 --> 670.48]  Where one company, Samsung, okay, they have The Verge going live with-
+[670.48 --> 674.48]  I don't know why hashtag free Luke is being spammed. I don't know what it means.
+[674.48 --> 675.48]  I don't know what that is.
+[675.48 --> 680.48]  So they have the- one company has The Verge going live with a preview-
+[680.48 --> 681.48]  Yeah.
+[681.48 --> 683.48]  While the entire rest of the world press-
+[683.48 --> 686.48]  Which has like astronomically more views than the rest of the stuff in their channel.
+[686.48 --> 691.48]  While the entire rest of the world press is sitting in an auditorium waiting for the presentation to start.
+[691.48 --> 699.48]  They've got the US and Canada and whatever other countries with Wonko allocations for press.
+[699.48 --> 700.48]  Not every one.
+[700.48 --> 701.48]  They've got-
+[701.48 --> 704.48]  And they've got completely different programs for-
+[704.48 --> 711.48]  I would consider myself and Austin pretty similar in terms of what we are.
+[711.48 --> 714.48]  YouTubers, influencers, like we fall in the same category.
+[714.48 --> 720.48]  And he's got to buy his flight, buy his hotel, but he can get as many tickets as he wants.
+[720.48 --> 727.48]  I get a free flight, free hotel, and a few grand to spend on doing something cool in New York, but I can't bring a camera operator.
+[727.48 --> 728.48]  Yeah.
+[728.48 --> 730.48]  So it's just all over the place.
+[730.48 --> 736.48]  And I just, I feel like somewhere, at some point-
+[736.48 --> 745.48]  What could have even been sort of interesting is if they gave you like one of those phone gyro things, and like you were able to bring an editor.
+[745.48 --> 746.48]  Yeah.
+[746.48 --> 749.48]  And they got you to like film the whole thing on the phone.
+[749.48 --> 750.48]  Yeah.
+[750.48 --> 754.48]  And they like gave you a phone to talk about in display, and they give you a phone to film with.
+[754.48 --> 755.48]  Yeah.
+[755.48 --> 756.48]  And you're able to bring an editor so they can actually edit the video.
+[756.48 --> 757.48]  Exactly.
+[757.48 --> 759.48]  That would be pretty neat.
+[759.48 --> 761.48]  And the other thing too though is consistency.
+[761.48 --> 764.48]  Like, no one's going to be upset if everyone's kind of doing the same thing.
+[764.48 --> 765.48]  Yeah.
+[765.48 --> 787.48]  But like honestly, and I don't mean, I hope she, I sincerely doubt she's watching, but there was another person in the media, on the media side of the presentation, that was sincerely taking notes from the presentation on a little pad of paper, and wrote down like 10 things.
+[787.48 --> 790.48]  And I'm kind of sitting here going like, how are you even covering this?
+[790.48 --> 795.48]  Like, what are you, are you going to fold that up, tie it to a pigeon, and mail it to someone?
+[795.48 --> 796.48]  Like, what are you doing?
+[796.48 --> 798.48]  What are you doing such that you are-
+[798.48 --> 800.48]  I've taken written notes before.
+[800.48 --> 805.48]  Such that you are relevant enough to be here, and that you're, yeah, but she wasn't, it wasn't a speed thing.
+[805.48 --> 808.48]  Cause she didn't even write my anything.
+[808.48 --> 809.48]  Okay.
+[809.48 --> 810.48]  And she was sitting right in front of me.
+[810.48 --> 815.48]  And I'm sitting here going, what could you possibly be doing that doesn't require you to digitize this at some point?
+[815.48 --> 816.48]  Yeah.
+[816.48 --> 821.48]  One of the things that I like about paper notes, and I know this isn't what you're saying, I'm just, we have to talk a lot today cause we have no news.
+[821.48 --> 822.48]  So I'm going for it.
+[822.48 --> 823.48]  Yeah, hit it.
+[823.48 --> 826.48]  Is that, it's kind of like the OneNote idea.
+[826.48 --> 833.48]  If I had like a Surface book that I had folded back with a pen, then sure, but that's, I don't have, what, no?
+[833.48 --> 835.48]  Stop.
+[835.48 --> 840.48]  So like I can stop part way through and draw something or do whatever I need to do.
+[840.48 --> 841.48]  Okay.
+[841.48 --> 842.48]  She drew nothing.
+[842.48 --> 843.48]  And the notepad was like this big.
+[843.48 --> 844.48]  See, that's crazy.
+[844.48 --> 845.48]  And like really hard to like use.
+[845.48 --> 847.48]  See, I normally have big ones like this.
+[847.48 --> 850.48]  And we're sitting in a dark auditorium because it's like a presentation.
+[850.48 --> 851.48]  That's stupid.
+[851.48 --> 852.48]  Yeah.
+[852.48 --> 858.48]  Anytime that I've sat down at a presentation, if I had the option, I did laptop or even phone.
+[858.48 --> 862.48]  But if I'm like being walked around a booth really quickly, I often just write.
+[862.48 --> 863.48]  Right.
+[863.48 --> 864.48]  Okay.
+[864.48 --> 867.48]  So, you know, right tool for the job.
+[867.48 --> 868.48]  And I totally get that.
+[868.48 --> 871.48]  But it was just like, why are you even here?
+[871.48 --> 872.48]  Yeah.
+[872.48 --> 877.48]  Um, so what else we, what else we got for today actually?
+[877.48 --> 881.48]  Oh, oh, why don't we talk about is Flowplane dying?
+[881.48 --> 882.48]  Is Flowplane dying?
+[882.48 --> 884.48]  I don't, I don't even understand.
+[884.48 --> 885.48]  No.
+[885.48 --> 886.48]  Okay.
+[886.48 --> 887.48]  Is that it?
+[887.48 --> 888.48]  Yeah, that was it.
+[888.48 --> 891.48]  In other news, are we going to finally move to OBS?
+[891.48 --> 894.48]  Because my laptop screen capture is still not working.
+[894.48 --> 896.48]  Why don't you talk about pros and cons while I see if I can figure this out.
+[896.48 --> 897.48]  Okay.
+[897.48 --> 903.48]  So, uh, if people have watched my little stream, I don't know if I've ever talked about it on the WAN show,
+[903.48 --> 918.48]  but I've done quite a few different attempts of moving off of XSplit to OBS because the amount of riiiing that happens from everybody about how OBS is so much better because it's open source convinced me to try it a few times.
+[918.48 --> 923.48]  And I decided that I didn't like it every single time until recently.
+[923.48 --> 926.48]  And I'm sure I'm going to receive an email about this or a tweet or something.
+[926.48 --> 932.48]  Uh, but I've been having a huge amount of problems with XSplit and I'm not the only one.
+[932.48 --> 938.48]  And a lot of them have to do with capture cards and other different types of things that we're trying to use.
+[938.48 --> 946.48]  And I'm getting feedback from these companies that make these devices that it just doesn't work on XSplit.
+[946.48 --> 949.48]  And they're blaming XSplit and they're refusing to do anything about it.
+[949.48 --> 955.48]  So, like, I'm pretty sure the stream deck doesn't work on XSplit.
+[955.48 --> 958.48]  And we've had tons of problems with it, right? Yeah, so the stream deck.
+[958.48 --> 959.48]  Uh, I don't know.
+[959.48 --> 960.48]  Wait, what just happened?
+[960.48 --> 961.48]  Oh dear.
+[961.48 --> 962.48]  Oh crap.
+[962.48 --> 963.48]  Did you unplug the SDI one?
+[963.48 --> 964.48]  Uh, maybe. Hold on.
+[964.48 --> 966.48]  Well, we theoretically still have audio.
+[966.48 --> 969.48]  So I'm just going to keep talking because you don't really need to see me anyways.
+[969.48 --> 970.48]  Dang it!
+[970.48 --> 976.48]  Um, so, continuing from there, I wanted to play Horizon Zero Dawn and I couldn't.
+[976.48 --> 978.48]  So I started trying to look into OBS.
+[978.48 --> 984.48]  And man, there's been some leaps and bounds in terms of how good and functional OBS is.
+[984.48 --> 988.48]  And it's still, in my opinion, a very clunky UI.
+[988.48 --> 995.48]  I think they have made a number of objectively terrible design decisions.
+[995.48 --> 998.48]  But functionality-wise, it does really well.
+[998.48 --> 1000.48]  The transgitter stuff, it does well with.
+[1000.48 --> 1002.48]  The audio levels...
+[1003.48 --> 1006.48]  The audio stuff on XSplit is just...
+[1006.48 --> 1007.48]  Ah!
+[1007.48 --> 1021.48]  Why there's just like a volume bar that you can change the level of and like a tiny, very hard-to-see level bounce that's just on the bottom of the volume bar, not in its own area, very difficult to see, is completely beyond me.
+[1021.48 --> 1025.48]  And OBS has individual levels for all your things that are very easy to see all the time.
+[1026.48 --> 1027.48]  That's wonderful!
+[1027.48 --> 1035.48]  There's some really clunky things about it, but it works very well in terms of the back-end stuff.
+[1035.48 --> 1047.48]  And we use Epiphan AVIO capture cards because they're wonderful and they don't like overheat and do other junky things that a lot of other capture cards that we've used have done.
+[1047.48 --> 1050.48]  But they have compatibility issues with...
+[1050.48 --> 1051.48]  XSplit!
+[1051.48 --> 1052.48]  And talking...
+[1052.48 --> 1055.48]  They kinda came up over the last little while, like we didn't used to.
+[1055.48 --> 1056.48]  Yes.
+[1056.48 --> 1058.48]  Yeah, it seems to be new.
+[1060.48 --> 1062.48]  And that's very frustrating.
+[1062.48 --> 1063.48]  So, yeah.
+[1063.48 --> 1071.48]  Moving off of something that is theoretically paid for to something that is free, because the free thing is better, is just odd.
+[1072.48 --> 1074.48]  Well, it's not that odd in this day and age, but...
+[1074.48 --> 1075.48]  Yeah.
+[1075.48 --> 1084.48]  Okay, so, uh, this next news item is actually from my email, so hopefully I don't expose anything critical, but it doesn't look like it.
+[1085.48 --> 1089.48]  CrashPlanForHome is going away!
+[1090.48 --> 1092.48]  Thank you for using CrashPlanForHome!
+[1092.48 --> 1096.48]  We hope you have enjoyed the secure backup that the free version of CrashPlanForHome has provided.
+[1096.48 --> 1103.48]  As of today, we've made the decision to shift our business strategy to focus on the enterprise and small business segments.
+[1103.48 --> 1105.48]  Wow!
+[1105.48 --> 1117.48]  So this kinda sucks, because CrashPlan was like the go-to for quick, painless, easy offsite backup of your entire system.
+[1117.48 --> 1126.48]  So, in theory, and you know, there's some port forwarding and whatever else that goes along with it, but in theory, CrashPlan was as simple as going,
+[1126.48 --> 1138.48]  Okay, here's all the stuff I wanna backup, here's my buddy's CrashPlan code, click, and then it would send over an encrypted version of all of that stuff in like an encrypted container file,
+[1138.48 --> 1147.48]  so that in the event that you had some kind of a catastrophic system failure, you would be able to, at the very least, back up all of your precious memories and all that.
+[1147.48 --> 1155.48]  And you didn't necessarily even have to trust the person on the other side, you just had to have enough of a working relationship with them,
+[1155.48 --> 1166.48]  that you'd be able to get physical access to the data at some point, or even back it up online, if you didn't have so much that it would take weeks to download or whatever the case may be.
+[1166.48 --> 1173.48]  So, as long as you, you didn't even have to trust each other, you just had to have like a bilateral agreement that kind of goes,
+[1173.48 --> 1174.48]  Yeah.
+[1174.48 --> 1179.48]  Hey, I'll have some extra storage in my place, you have some extra storage at your place, we'll back up to each other, boom, done.
+[1179.48 --> 1187.48]  And right now, I'm not 100% sure exactly what we're going to switch, or what I'm gonna switch to.
+[1187.48 --> 1191.48]  Well, it says it supports small business, so what does that mean? How much does that cost?
+[1191.48 --> 1198.48]  I'm using this personally though, and small business is, I believe, I forget, but it's like a significant cost per device.
+[1198.48 --> 1199.48]  Okay.
+[1199.48 --> 1207.48]  Yeah, so it really is priced like a small business solution. Click to get crash plan for small business, here we go.
+[1207.48 --> 1210.48]  So let's have a look at what we got here.
+[1210.48 --> 1216.48]  So I'm in a bit of a better spot, because way back now, to be completely honest, I got that Synology NAS.
+[1216.48 --> 1217.48]  Yep.
+[1217.48 --> 1221.48]  And I can Synology to Synology mirror, which is actually quite nice.
+[1221.48 --> 1226.48]  There's other things you can do too on your own, but nothing that's as elegant as this.
+[1226.48 --> 1231.48]  And this was like the cross-platform thing, because you could, so I could use it on a Windows desktop,
+[1231.48 --> 1235.48]  and I could be backing up to a crash plan Docker container on an Unraid server, for example.
+[1235.48 --> 1236.48]  Mm-hmm.
+[1236.48 --> 1238.48]  So that was super cool.
+[1238.48 --> 1239.48]  But yeah, no, here we go.
+[1239.48 --> 1242.48]  It's $10 per device per month.
+[1242.48 --> 1243.48]  Wow.
+[1243.48 --> 1244.48]  For the business one.
+[1244.48 --> 1245.48]  Yeah, so it's $120 a year.
+[1245.48 --> 1252.48]  And what kind of sucks about this, it says you can migrate all your cloud backups, something, something.
+[1252.48 --> 1259.48]  Yeah, I don't think, yeah, it does not support computer-to-computer backups anymore.
+[1259.48 --> 1268.48]  So that super sucks, because that was the whole reason why I would use CrashPlan,
+[1268.48 --> 1274.48]  because it's going from thing I own to thing that I own, or is like a thing my friend owns,
+[1274.48 --> 1279.48]  instead of relying on, you know, some corporation somewhere to keep all of this stuff safe.
+[1279.48 --> 1286.48]  Like, I like the idea of having everything on my servers, and especially not having to pay extra for more cloud storage
+[1286.48 --> 1289.48]  if I have a bunch of crap I want to back up.
+[1289.48 --> 1297.48]  Like, if I have a gigabit internet connection at my office, I would love to be able to just flood it.
+[1297.48 --> 1300.48]  And they're not going to like...
+[1300.48 --> 1303.48]  So what happens if you've already got this stuff set up?
+[1303.48 --> 1305.48]  Because isn't this local software?
+[1305.48 --> 1307.48]  It is local software.
+[1307.48 --> 1311.48]  I believe, though, that the...
+[1311.48 --> 1312.48]  They can just can it remotely?
+[1312.48 --> 1318.48]  Yeah, I believe they can can it, because the way that friends are tracked is through authentication through the software.
+[1318.48 --> 1319.48]  Through their thing.
+[1319.48 --> 1322.48]  Yeah, so it's not something where you just point it at an IP and it just goes.
+[1322.48 --> 1323.48]  Okay.
+[1323.48 --> 1326.48]  Yeah, so maybe they've had this in the plan for a long time.
+[1326.48 --> 1335.48]  Maybe the people who are smarter than me are going to go find some version that you can kind of roll back to where it all works or something like that.
+[1335.48 --> 1340.48]  I'm not sure, but in the meantime, I'm definitely going to be looking for some other kind of solution.
+[1340.48 --> 1342.48]  And that's pretty frustrating.
+[1342.48 --> 1343.48]  I'm not sure.
+[1343.48 --> 1345.48]  I'm just going to be looking for some options.
+[1345.48 --> 1346.48]  I can't wait...
+[1346.48 --> 1347.48]  I can't wait...
+[1347.48 --> 1348.48]  I can't wait...
+[1348.48 --> 1349.48]  Just...
+[1349.48 --> 1350.48]  I can't wait...
+[1350.48 --> 1351.48]  I can't wait...
+[1351.48 --> 1352.48]  I can't wait...
+[1352.48 --> 1362.04]  Half-Life 3. Oh, you gotta be kidding me. Nope, actually not. So this was originally posted on the forum by N2A Newt and
+[1364.66 --> 1370.94]  Let's go ahead and just kind of wow that is so broken. There you go
+[1372.28 --> 1374.28]  That looks pretty good
+[1374.32 --> 1378.46]  so Half-Life 2 episode 3's story released by
+[1378.46 --> 1385.38]  Mark Laidlaw the lead writer for the Half-Life series who left valve last year
+[1386.90 --> 1391.60]  Wow, I have a feeling this could get him in a lot of trouble. I
+[1392.74 --> 1396.84]  Really hope he's sought out legal counsel. Yeah, I hope he's lawyered up man
+[1400.14 --> 1407.46]  Wow, that's pretty crazy if you want to read it's on github and I believe it's in like quite a few other places as well
+[1407.46 --> 1412.78]  It's on pastebin because people are worried about it being brought down, which is not surprising at all
+[1413.98 --> 1418.38]  Apparently it wraps up a lot of loose ends. It's essentially Half-Life 2 episode 3
+[1422.22 --> 1429.68]  Yeah, wow apparently it the corrected versions where it like fixes the genders and fixes a few words that he like
+[1429.68 --> 1434.04]  Change that can't be enough to save him at all
+[1434.04 --> 1436.00]  But whatever
+[1436.00 --> 1440.58]  Um is like a very coherent and plausible plot line
+[1440.58 --> 1444.84]  So it's from a fictional character named Gertie Fremont
+[1444.84 --> 1448.36]  Yeah, but if you change that yeah
+[1448.36 --> 1452.04]  Who recounts her team up with feisty partner Alex Vaunt
+[1453.18 --> 1457.50]  To find the hyperborea luxury liner, which must be
+[1458.52 --> 1460.52]  Yeah, so
+[1461.80 --> 1466.26]  Wow, so he's like probably gonna get owned I really like
+[1466.82 --> 1470.70]  So there's no way of knowing whether this was a finalized plot line
+[1470.70 --> 1476.88]  We have no way of knowing how far into development Half-Life 2 episode 3 this could be a first draft. Yep
+[1476.88 --> 1478.88]  Um
+[1478.88 --> 1487.82]  But apparently he was the primary architect of Half-Life's plot and his departure from valve last year was widely seen as acknowledgement that episode 3 was completely dead
+[1488.88 --> 1496.48]  So maybe if I can speculate wildly without looking into anything that this guy said publicly at all because you don't have a lot of notes
+[1496.48 --> 1500.84]  It's just the WAN show anyway. Yeah, why not right? Let's just yolo it. Yeah
+[1500.84 --> 1506.26]  Yeah percent. So yeah fake news warning. Yeah, but I would I would assume that maybe
+[1506.26 --> 1512.64]  This is like he's the main architect for the plot. It said that right there. This is probably like his masterpiece
+[1513.26 --> 1517.80]  Right, so while he might get screwed for this maybe he just doesn't care. Yeah
+[1517.80 --> 1519.80]  Yeah
+[1521.80 --> 1529.30]  Cuz like if you created this and like the whole internet is like we want it so bad yeah, and it's like the greatest work you've done
+[1529.30 --> 1531.30]  I don't know I don't know what else he's worked on
+[1531.30 --> 1534.80]  Yeah, I mean I can see how someone would feel like that like but Half-Life is amazing
+[1534.80 --> 1537.30]  So that would be like an amazing thing to be the greatest thing you've done
+[1537.30 --> 1541.80]  I'll tell you something like we've considered just going live with the channel super fun
+[1541.80 --> 1542.80]  uh top gun
+[1542.80 --> 1546.80]  shot for shot volleyball scene recreation and just
+[1547.36 --> 1549.36]  Taking the copyright strike
+[1549.86 --> 1553.56]  Just so that people can watch it like having it up there for long enough that
+[1553.56 --> 1559.06]  That some people can watch it before it gets ripped down cuz like they're not going to delete our channel
+[1559.06 --> 1559.56]  No
+[1559.56 --> 1566.06]  Realistically, we're not a big enough target to get sued into oblivion by uh, what is it? Columbia pictures?
+[1566.06 --> 1568.32]  And if we do what we just give them all the profits from the video?
+[1568.32 --> 1570.36]  Can't remember. Well, no, no, they know
+[1570.36 --> 1571.36]  There's more to it than that
+[1571.36 --> 1572.36]  Yeah, there's more to it than that
+[1572.36 --> 1576.96]  Realistically, they're not gonna they're not gonna put a target on their own back
+[1576.96 --> 1580.76]  By like trying to shut down
+[1580.76 --> 1587.42]  I like to think a fairly, you know beloved youtube creator company like yeah
+[1587.42 --> 1592.70]  Like the amount of public backlash over suing us into a crater
+[1592.70 --> 1595.82]  Over us just doing a fan
+[1595.82 --> 1596.76]  Yeah
+[1596.76 --> 1600.20]  Remake of a scene from one of their movies like come on
+[1600.20 --> 1604.06]  It seemed it seems very implausible at some people like it at LTX
+[1604.06 --> 1608.92]  Yeah, yeah, yeah like at some point before an actual lawsuit occurs
+[1608.92 --> 1614.44]  Some human looks at something and makes a decision as to whether or not to proceed with it
+[1614.44 --> 1620.92]  And it's not necessarily as simple as the black and white of law. Yeah, it's like is this worth the PR?
+[1621.24 --> 1624.60]  Is this worth the cost? Is this worth the effort? Yeah, like that
+[1624.60 --> 1629.00]  But like what you just said just to dive further into this topic that I know nothing about
+[1629.00 --> 1632.86]  Yeah, um could be a reason why valve might not go for this guy
+[1632.86 --> 1642.28]  Valve is the like dream child of all the PC gamers, but remember to and okay less so these days for one thing and
+[1642.92 --> 1644.92]  If you don't protect your IP
+[1646.28 --> 1651.56]  Then you will be seen as soft and you could open yourself up to this kind of leak
+[1651.56 --> 1657.16]  All the time yeah, and all of a sudden valve who might not have a ton of employees
+[1657.48 --> 1661.80]  But in terms of revenues mass and profits is a gigantic company
+[1663.56 --> 1668.04]  I uh, no, I I think I think they actually have no choice
+[1668.84 --> 1671.56]  But to go after him as hardcore as they can
+[1673.24 --> 1676.36]  Like if honestly that sucks if I was them I would do it
+[1676.36 --> 1684.28]  Just because you can't set a precedent like that and you can't have someone you can't make it okay for that to happen
+[1684.84 --> 1689.72]  Because someone might actually come out with a game with gertie fremont and alex avant
+[1691.16 --> 1694.68]  Yep, that is like the exact thing like here and call it like
+[1695.80 --> 1697.16]  quarter
+[1697.16 --> 1698.28]  lifespan
+[1698.28 --> 1700.28]  Three let's draw a parallel right?
+[1700.28 --> 1704.84]  Right, um, so let's say that um, let's say that you
+[1705.80 --> 1708.68]  Decided to quit or something like that. Get owned. Um
+[1709.40 --> 1715.24]  Yeah, I know you're like half halfway out the door already, but the point is let's say you decided
+[1715.24 --> 1722.20]  Yeah, yeah, like what like three months or something. Yeah, let's say you decided to quit and as the last thing that you did
+[1722.84 --> 1725.40]  You went around the office and you grabbed
+[1726.44 --> 1728.12]  your scrapyard wars pc
+[1728.12 --> 1730.12]  yeah, and
+[1730.92 --> 1732.84]  Let's just let's just try and think of like
+[1733.72 --> 1738.12]  Some you know what there that's that's I was gonna say the bomb but that's the bomb's kind of yours already anyway
+[1738.12 --> 1740.76]  Like I think the plasti dip on it is mine
+[1741.32 --> 1747.32]  Yeah, it's not even plastic. Yeah, yes, but the paint belongs to me. Well the plastic you can take the whole middle section
+[1747.32 --> 1753.88]  Yeah, the whole middle section. Yeah, yeah, but but let's say the scrapyard wars pc where indisputably linus media group paid for oh, yeah
+[1753.88 --> 1756.76]  No, that's yeah, and it was created on work time
+[1756.76 --> 1760.20]  Which your employee agreement states that the things you create?
+[1760.76 --> 1762.60]  Are the intellectual property of this company?
+[1762.60 --> 1763.72]  Yeah, no, that's that's works
+[1763.72 --> 1767.16]  Which i'm sure he has a very similar agreement in place certain
+[1767.32 --> 1771.72]  So let's say that you took off with it and you were like i'm not giving this bag
+[1772.52 --> 1779.00]  I would have no choice even though I don't actually care and as far as i'm concerned you can have it because that would be
+[1779.40 --> 1783.96]  I didn't give you permission. Yeah, you just took couldn't that then be used
+[1784.92 --> 1789.72]  Against you if someone else does it possibly yes because you set a precedent that this is okay
+[1789.96 --> 1794.44]  Yes, and that could be seen as like a benefit of working here or something or something
+[1794.76 --> 1801.00]  Either way i'm creating the potential for this to come back and become a problem and honestly in this case
+[1801.00 --> 1806.68]  The stakes are even so much lower than someone you know leaking the plot of an oh, yeah
+[1806.68 --> 1809.80]  Oh, yeah, definitely that's that's taking some property
+[1810.84 --> 1817.08]  And like displaying it in my house probably yeah, the other thing would be taking property and giving it to everyone
+[1817.32 --> 1821.16]  That's right. That would be like taking a video that we never released that I made
+[1821.64 --> 1825.16]  Yeah, and giving it to everyone on my own channels later. Yep
+[1826.20 --> 1829.08]  Where even if you had no intention of profiting from it
+[1829.32 --> 1833.40]  This is something that a lot of people don't necessarily understand is the definition of profit
+[1833.40 --> 1842.60]  Does not necessarily come down to the money that luke makes like let's say that luke took it and did a stream on his twitch channel
+[1843.08 --> 1845.96]  Where he specifically the nda expired
+[1850.20 --> 1853.40]  So is the argument here that the statute of limitations is up
+[1854.44 --> 1861.16]  Because it's been a year or something like that well his nda yeah his nda from working there has apparently so there's a difference between
+[1861.16 --> 1868.92]  That's very yeah, and nda and intellectual property yeah, and stealing it and disclosing something that's under if he was like
+[1868.92 --> 1872.68]  Yeah, if he was like I had a fully written script
+[1873.80 --> 1874.68]  for
+[1874.68 --> 1876.68]  Half-life 2 episode 3
+[1876.68 --> 1883.64]  That would be a perfect example of something that would be nda but not intellectual property
+[1884.68 --> 1888.28]  um, so anyway, so back like literally the script back to the example
+[1888.28 --> 1896.04]  Let's say luke decided that for that stream all the money that came in was going to go to a charity or he was going to turn off monetization
+[1896.04 --> 1899.96]  Um for the video where he displayed that video. Yeah, um
+[1900.52 --> 1903.08]  He still profits in the sense that
+[1903.80 --> 1909.32]  If even if I can prove that even a single person went and watched that stream who wouldn't have otherwise
+[1910.20 --> 1912.20]  He profited
+[1912.20 --> 1913.80]  off of
+[1913.80 --> 1919.56]  The thing that didn't belong to him that he stole from linus media group in the sense that he gained notoriety
+[1920.04 --> 1924.28]  He was saying get john. I didn't uh, yeah, we could go get john actually
+[1924.92 --> 1929.96]  Uh, he's uh, he's upstairs. We can you know what why don't we come back to this topic a little bit
+[1930.52 --> 1934.76]  A little bit later in the stream. I want to say two things before we get john here so that like everyone remembers
+[1934.76 --> 1938.20]  We can bring this up one some people are comparing this to h3h3
+[1938.20 --> 1944.76]  That's not it at all. No, it's not content that was released by someone else that was used in minor form for parody completely
+[1945.32 --> 1947.32]  drastically different situation
+[1947.32 --> 1948.44]  um and
+[1948.44 --> 1954.60]  Another one this would be sort of comparable to someone working at like dreamworks
+[1955.48 --> 1960.60]  And they make a bunch of like internal animations and different shorts and all this different kind of stuff that they don't get to completion
+[1960.92 --> 1964.84]  And then they quit and then a year later. They just release all of these publicly. Yeah, that's
+[1964.84 --> 1968.68]  It's we'll get john here, but i'm like pretty john will be down
+[1968.84 --> 1971.40]  I feel pretty good about the position that i've taken on it
+[1971.40 --> 1973.88]  But hey, he could always come in and tell me i'm wrong in the meantime
+[1974.28 --> 1977.88]  Uh, why don't we do our so america so the laws are like slightly different?
+[1978.20 --> 1980.60]  Uh, what do we got for how wow you know?
+[1980.60 --> 1983.48]  What's funny is we actually thought we didn't have a lot of topics this week
+[1983.48 --> 1988.28]  But we've got a fair bit that we still have a fair bit to talk about so let's uh, let's get through this
+[1988.28 --> 1991.24]  Are you a uh, wait what?
+[1992.28 --> 1994.28]  We can do that one. We'll get back to it

+[2191.88 --> 2192.68]  Right in the middle of the screen
+[2193.32 --> 2195.32]  Someone messed with me
+[2195.80 --> 2199.40]  Someone put a spicy one in the cracked pepper and sea salt
+[2199.40 --> 2205.56]  I was delicious as usual, but I have the hiccups now because I wasn't expecting it
+[2207.48 --> 2209.72]  That wasn't me that actually wasn't me
+[2210.92 --> 2213.32]  I wouldn't be surprised if it was Ivan. Jackasses
+[2214.04 --> 2216.04]  Jackasses everywhere
+[2216.04 --> 2217.00]  What's his plan?
+[2217.00 --> 2218.12]  His plan was to like
+[2219.16 --> 2222.44]  Have a whole bunch in a line. You don't know which one's the spicy one, and it's like roulette
+[2223.24 --> 2224.52]  Oh lordy
+[2224.52 --> 2227.72]  We should do that as a channel super fun. No, we kind of a fun channel super beef jerky roulette
+[2227.72 --> 2229.72]  All right
+[2230.04 --> 2232.12]  This was originally posted over on Ars Technica
+[2235.32 --> 2237.00]  And Intel's not really hiding it
+[2237.80 --> 2241.40]  But they recently launched eighth generation mobile chips
+[2242.36 --> 2242.84]  and the
+[2243.48 --> 2247.88]  um, the assumption I think from a lot of people even fairly tech savvy people I assumed this
+[2248.44 --> 2251.08]  the assumption was that an eighth generation mobile chip
+[2252.04 --> 2255.24]  would be coffee lake which is their upcoming architecture
+[2256.44 --> 2256.76]  nope
+[2257.72 --> 2259.72]  these quad core
+[2259.72 --> 2260.04]  Dang it
+[2261.24 --> 2266.68]  these quad core u-class mobile chips which by the by the way is pretty freaking sick
+[2267.72 --> 2271.48]  so base clocks of anywhere from 1.6 to 1.9 gigahertz
+[2272.76 --> 2277.32]  and boost clocks of 3.4 to 3.9 gigahertz at four core
+[2277.32 --> 2278.28]  cores
+[2278.28 --> 2279.64]  with
+[2279.64 --> 2284.28]  and these are all 15 watt parts
+[2285.00 --> 2291.00]  are pretty darn impressive and are going to enable a completely new class of mobile device
+[2291.56 --> 2295.08]  like i'm really looking forward to see if lg does a 2018 gram
+[2295.08 --> 2297.08]  with these processors
+[2297.08 --> 2297.40]  right
+[2297.40 --> 2297.64]  yeah
+[2297.64 --> 2300.52]  or something like it because a quad core
+[2300.52 --> 2305.88]  it's really the only thing i'm missing you've already got an nvme ssd you've already got 16 gigs plus of ram
+[2306.36 --> 2309.40]  so the one thing missing is more multi-threading performance and
+[2309.40 --> 2313.64]  they're even hyper threaded so we're talking four cores eight threads
+[2313.64 --> 2315.72]  and they're just gonna be able to do that
+[2315.72 --> 2317.72]  these things look sick
+[2317.72 --> 2318.36]  unfortunately
+[2318.92 --> 2321.80]  this is not nearly the shift that we were possibly
+[2322.44 --> 2323.16]  expecting
+[2323.16 --> 2325.16]  they are built on a somewhat refined version
+[2325.64 --> 2328.20]  of intel's 14 nanometer manufacturing process
+[2328.20 --> 2329.96]  and even though they're calling them eighth gen
+[2330.76 --> 2332.60]  they're actually much more similar
+[2333.16 --> 2338.76]  both cpu and gpu to the seventh generation kaby lake so they're calling these kaby lake refresh
+[2339.40 --> 2342.20]  which if my experience is anything to go on basically means
+[2342.92 --> 2343.48]  kaby lake
+[2343.48 --> 2343.96]  yeah
+[2345.08 --> 2346.36]  and it's frustrating because
+[2347.48 --> 2348.60]  the whole idea
+[2349.16 --> 2351.88]  behind like with like a better understanding of their bidding
+[2351.88 --> 2352.12]  yeah
+[2352.92 --> 2356.20]  the whole idea and it will intel is iterating all the time
+[2356.20 --> 2358.60]  so it's kaby lake refresh
+[2359.32 --> 2363.96]  but they're probably already using all the things they learned in other kaby lake chips as it is
+[2364.84 --> 2366.60]  because they are making changes over time
+[2366.60 --> 2366.92]  fair
+[2366.92 --> 2369.64]  um sorry john we're almost ready for you sorry um
+[2370.68 --> 2374.92]  but it's frustrating because the whole idea behind this gen thing is you're supposed to be able to understand
+[2375.56 --> 2382.52]  what generation the freaking thing is architecturally and now we've got seventh generation processors
+[2382.52 --> 2387.48]  processors on the hedt side that are sky lake based
+[2388.20 --> 2392.52]  we've got seventh generation processors on the mainstream side that are kaby lake based
+[2393.08 --> 2396.04]  and then we've got eighth generation processors that are kaby lake based
+[2396.36 --> 2397.72]  is nothing sacred
+[2397.72 --> 2398.60]  no
+[2402.68 --> 2403.96]  so um yeah
+[2407.24 --> 2411.08]  oh but to be clear the hedt ones i'm talking about are like the 7900x
+[2411.72 --> 2417.32]  so that because it has a seven it's seventh gen but it is actually a sixth generation sky lake architecture
+[2417.32 --> 2422.12]  so now there's going to have to be like the intel version and there's going to have to be like the
+[2422.12 --> 2426.44]  enthusiast who has who's keeping track of this on their own version of what gen everything is
+[2426.44 --> 2429.72]  all right so let's feel like we're going to need another tech wiki video
+[2429.72 --> 2434.76]  let's let john jump in and talk about this whole half-life three thing i'll give you my spot
+[2441.08 --> 2447.88]  here we go okay so half-life three how does how does this work because we think
+[2448.52 --> 2453.32]  linus and i are both in agreement right now that some people in the chat are saying like oh
+[2453.32 --> 2462.76]  he's nda lifted but we don't think this is an nda thing in our opinion it would be covered under nda if he was just like
+[2463.48 --> 2473.32]  i had completed a script for half-life uh two episode three and that's all he says that seems like an nda style
+[2473.32 --> 2478.44]  thing him actually releasing all the content does not seem like an nda protected action
+[2478.44 --> 2487.72]  i mean nda is going to be written pretty broadly though yeah you can you can write an nda so what
+[2487.72 --> 2492.84]  right but what we're saying is like um people are saying that the nda has lifted because he hasn't
+[2492.84 --> 2500.60]  worked there for a year so he's released this content not being a employee of valve anymore
+[2500.60 --> 2506.76]  mm-hmm and people are saying that he's fine because the nda lifted does that make any sense uh
+[2508.60 --> 2515.80]  it does okay sorry if i seem a little bit confused you seem very confused well no it's it's more that
+[2515.80 --> 2521.72]  um i don't i can't really think of a reason why that wouldn't make sense honestly okay you can
+[2521.72 --> 2527.64]  have so if i work at linus sick tips and we make a series of videos called scrapyard wars
+[2527.64 --> 2532.20]  and we make scrapyard wars hypothetical here we make scrapyard wars episode seven
+[2533.08 --> 2539.32]  and ed finishes editing them but then linus hates me so fires me and doesn't want to release the
+[2539.32 --> 2542.68]  episodes anymore because it wants nothing to do with me and i have all the copies of the episodes
+[2542.68 --> 2549.48]  and i release them somewhere else because my nda expired how does that make any sense uh well you're
+[2549.48 --> 2556.84]  covering different things with an nda versus just a separate agreement saying that you don't own
+[2556.84 --> 2563.32]  copyright in it but this is this is content like did you actually see the post i read the bullet
+[2563.32 --> 2569.00]  points below it not yeah no this is what he released okay which is like the script so he like changed
+[2569.00 --> 2574.36]  that well it's like it's a letter from one character to another and the names and places have been changed
+[2574.36 --> 2580.84]  but it's extremely obvious but like gordon freeman is uh what uh gerda something
+[2580.84 --> 2587.32]  dirty freeman yeah or frement or something
+[2589.40 --> 2593.72]  so wouldn't the storyline be considered ip and wouldn't that be covered separately from
+[2596.92 --> 2603.96]  an nda you could cover it under both okay there's no i don't see a reason you couldn't do that so
+[2603.96 --> 2614.44]  so do you think it's possible that he's off the hook here is he in trouble with valve is valve no
+[2614.44 --> 2620.20]  one knows no one knows yet we're trying to figure out if he's in trouble with valve yeah i feel like
+[2620.20 --> 2624.12]  valve wouldn't construct their nda in a way that makes it so that you can just release whatever you
+[2624.12 --> 2629.88]  worked on after you leave for a year i don't know why anyone would ever do that that makes no sense
+[2629.88 --> 2636.60]  it could be but like i was saying you could it could be under it could be covered under something
+[2636.60 --> 2641.00]  else that isn't an nda so even if they say even if they structure something that says right but we're
+[2641.00 --> 2649.32]  talking about if it's not covered not if it is covered uh okay so you're you're asking me if this
+[2650.12 --> 2657.48]  isn't covered by an nda yeah i'm not asking you if it's covered by other things because we don't know
+[2657.48 --> 2661.32]  we don't know there's no information about that at all all we know we're speculating what the
+[2661.32 --> 2671.88]  likelihood is that he's okay here based on what based on because you're asking that he revealed
+[2671.88 --> 2678.44]  the plot line of something that he was working on at valve and is therefore the intellectual property
+[2678.44 --> 2692.12]  of valve after leaving i mean i have no way to say like it it completely depends on like how much valve
+[2692.12 --> 2698.04]  values this information so and who knows if they do or not you know or they you know were they actually
+[2698.04 --> 2706.76]  planning to release a sequel or not so interesting okay i had thought uh i had thought it'd be a little
+[2706.76 --> 2710.52]  more open shut than that like well we're making some assumptions we're making assumptions that
+[2711.08 --> 2717.48]  valve is going to aggressively protect its intellectual property regardless of whether it mattered or not
+[2718.36 --> 2722.84]  because it sets kind of a bad precedent if they just let people walk away with this stuff well i mean
+[2723.96 --> 2729.88]  you're right in that it probably would be considered ip like you're you're you are probably right about
+[2729.88 --> 2735.96]  that but like at the same time is if you're going to sit here and ask oh how much trouble is he possibly
+[2735.96 --> 2742.04]  in yeah impossible to say it really depends on what valve wants to do okay yeah all right thank you yep
+[2744.44 --> 2749.16]  so so it sounds like we weren't that far off we were just making kind of a different set of
+[2749.16 --> 2753.56]  assumptions about how we think valve would behave yeah that may or may not be right
+[2754.76 --> 2760.44]  so we're just gonna have to wait and see how this one shakes out according to apparently um he has
+[2760.44 --> 2768.44]  released a tweet i don't know where it went i lost the click sure why don't you have a look while i uh
+[2768.44 --> 2775.00]  jump in and talk about the vega shortage okay so this was originally posted over on videocards.com
+[2775.56 --> 2780.04]  um and actually there's a post by coaxial gamer over on the forum and the original article there is from
+[2780.04 --> 2789.40]  pcgamesn.com but apparently the vega shortage could last until october in spite of amd's efforts to keep rx vega
+[2789.40 --> 2799.24]  prices low so uh this is from video cards according to well informed sources of digitimes you should not
+[2799.24 --> 2805.88]  expect to find rx vega in stores at least at a normal price until october while amd promised to
+[2805.88 --> 2810.84]  prepare a high to prepare a high volume of rx vega graphics cards for launch the reality was that many
+[2810.84 --> 2818.36]  countries apparently did not receive a single unit of the new flagship card the problem allegedly lies in
+[2818.36 --> 2823.24]  the complexity of the vega chips other sources claim that this issue may lie in advanced semiconductor
+[2823.24 --> 2828.84]  engineering packaging technology if i had to guess and this would be pure speculation i would say it
+[2828.84 --> 2837.80]  probably has a lot to do with hbm2 and maybe not necessarily even the amount of hbm2 that amd can buy
+[2838.36 --> 2847.24]  but possibly as much as that to do with amd simply not wanting to buy that much hbm2 right now
+[2848.20 --> 2853.72]  because right now they're one of the only ones using it so if they put in a massive order they
+[2853.72 --> 2858.84]  would themselves inherently spike the pricing of something that is a very limited commodity and
+[2858.84 --> 2863.96]  that just you can i mean anyone can look at this on dram exchange something that went up drastically in
+[2863.96 --> 2871.72]  price in the couple of weeks before rx vega's official launch so if i was amd i would be probably
+[2871.72 --> 2876.84]  trying to ride it out until another competitor starts building hbm2 which is supposedly going
+[2876.84 --> 2883.08]  to happen fairly soon and i would be um yeah like i wouldn't be going out of my way to produce a bunch
+[2883.08 --> 2890.36]  of cards that i'm maybe not even making money on i'm just i'm speculating though yeah that's fair
+[2890.92 --> 2896.68]  uh one thing i want to add i found i found the tweet he tweeted saying my website's down for now i guess a
+[2896.68 --> 2902.84]  fanfic is popular even a gender swapped snapshot snapshot of a dream i had many years ago
+[2904.84 --> 2910.52]  so is that him backpedaling on i don't even know how overt he wants to be
+[2910.52 --> 2915.96]  about this forward pedal at all or did the internet just freak out maybe i don't know that could be a
+[2915.96 --> 2924.20]  case i kind of think it's probably fairly not a big deal and i'm gonna make another wild assumption
+[2924.20 --> 2930.52]  based on no information um because fake news is really fun man show man um but my idea here is that
+[2930.52 --> 2934.84]  it's on his own website his pinned tweet is him trying to sell books that he's written he's trying
+[2934.84 --> 2939.40]  to sell books that he's written an easy way to get a whole bunch of traffic to his website which did happen
+[2939.40 --> 2946.04]  and to get more interest around him and his books is so if it had on the thing that he if it legitimately
+[2946.04 --> 2952.92]  had nothing to do with any kind of planet valve then i think it's fine because i believe fanfic is
+[2952.92 --> 2958.28]  like okay i think you're allowed to do that and letting the internet go full conspiracy theory
+[2959.72 --> 2964.92]  is a great marketing tactic i don't know how long interesting took until he clarified it right
+[2964.92 --> 2973.48]  i like your new theory i like that one the most um okay in other news uh this was from pcgames and
+[2973.48 --> 2979.88]  dot com amd says they're trying to keep prices of rx vega low though so after the prices inflated after
+[2979.88 --> 2985.56]  launch amd now says it's trying its best to get those prices to where we suggested when we launched them
+[2986.44 --> 2992.12]  so they're amd's uh gerald youngblood says our sep so that's suggested prices and the price tag that we
+[2992.12 --> 2995.64]  announced is our full intention of where we would suggest the product be priced not just for launch
+[2995.64 --> 2999.80]  but ongoing they said the price surge due to overwhelming demand and that the filling of
+[2999.80 --> 3004.28]  retailers inventory is key to getting the prices of vega down to their original pre-launch levels
+[3005.00 --> 3013.64]  um yeah that makes sense uh but again so we're looking at amd having to um having to put pressure
+[3013.64 --> 3019.56]  on retailers which a lot of the time manifests as like a rebate or something and you know that whole
+[3019.56 --> 3025.00]  thing broke a little while ago we expressed our frustration with it yeah yeah again this is more
+[3025.00 --> 3034.12]  evidence for amd not really having um much motivation to provide as much vega as they possibly can right
+[3034.12 --> 3044.44]  now yeah because here's what you guys need to understand amd does not profit from the mining craze
+[3044.44 --> 3052.12]  and from the prices being jacked up 200 on the shelf the retailer and or the opportunistic
+[3052.76 --> 3057.48]  reseller who runs out to a store whenever they find it at regular price and then flips it on ebay they
+[3057.48 --> 3063.08]  profit amd doesn't want that because they're effectively creating a bunch of hate in their
+[3063.08 --> 3068.20]  community and a bunch of anger and they don't even get to make more money out of it yeah so you
+[3068.20 --> 3074.36]  you shouldn't really think about this emotionally you have to think about it rationally it's it's not
+[3074.36 --> 3079.40]  in amd's best interest unless they are actually raising the price of the product which is going
+[3079.40 --> 3088.52]  to piss everyone off to have the street price be high yeah um so you know i've talked to them um i can't
+[3088.52 --> 3094.28]  share everything that was shared with me but i'll say benefit of the doubt um i still and you can go back
+[3094.28 --> 3098.04]  and watch last week's wanshow if you want to know what i'm upset about i'm still upset about pretty much all of
+[3098.04 --> 3103.96]  it amd could have done a way better job of communicating the way that they were handling
+[3103.96 --> 3108.84]  this launch pricing because if they had told me that it was going to be through rebates
+[3109.40 --> 3113.80]  i would have known that the entire thing was going to be a cluster and this is okay so this is a
+[3113.80 --> 3118.52]  situation where like i've never been on the other end so i don't know there's unknown variables here
+[3118.52 --> 3125.08]  but sometimes the communication stuff that happens directed towards us from a wide variety of
+[3125.08 --> 3131.48]  companies i'm not even going to narrow down to amd right now yeah is just very not good yeah and it
+[3131.48 --> 3141.24]  doesn't seem that hard well it seems hard when you make things hard on yourself so a lot of the
+[3141.24 --> 3146.20]  miscommunication around vega had to do with that they originally were going to just lift the embargo on
+[3146.20 --> 3151.32]  vega 64 the flagship card and then at the last second decided to lift the embargo on 56.
+[3151.32 --> 3158.20]  don't do that right but think about it this way it's not the people who are actually in the trenches
+[3158.20 --> 3163.56]  with nvidia card in their right hand and upcoming amd card in their left hand testing them against each
+[3163.56 --> 3167.96]  other who like actually know how this whole thing is going to shake down and how the press is going to
+[3167.96 --> 3173.72]  react to it it's not those people making the decision unfortunately it's probably some executive
+[3173.72 --> 3179.88]  making the decision and then ultimately and i told you so moment that takes place once the hardware is
+[3179.88 --> 3184.68]  already in the hands of the reviewers and they get some initial feedback that hey this isn't going
+[3184.68 --> 3192.28]  to be a super positive review because hey vega 64 is not crazy competitive like it's it's not a game
+[3192.28 --> 3201.96]  changer guys um so some some executive who's in la la land probably got that feedback and was like okay
+[3201.96 --> 3207.32]  fine let's do it your way let's launch the one that actually makes sense vega 56 at the same time so we
+[3207.32 --> 3211.56]  don't end up with a bunch of negative press to lose our momentum that's probably how it went down
+[3211.56 --> 3216.76]  and i'm speculating i told you guys i had a call with amd that was definitely not confirmed or talked
+[3216.76 --> 3222.84]  about but that's what i would guess went on um and that's how these things keep happening because it was
+[3222.84 --> 3228.20]  the same bloody thing with ryzen 7. originally they were going to roll out the skis two weeks apart
+[3228.20 --> 3232.52]  and then the last second they're like oh no we're lifting the embargo on all of them and only a handful of
+[3232.52 --> 3237.32]  press actually got them all because they couldn't get them to us in time someone in the chat was like
+[3237.32 --> 3241.08]  okay i don't i don't know where the message is so i'm gonna verbatim this and i'm gonna get a little
+[3241.08 --> 3247.16]  bit of it wrong sorry but someone in the chat said something along the lines of um yeah but you were just
+[3247.16 --> 3251.32]  blinded by wanting the profits of releasing the video on launch day
+[3253.80 --> 3258.52]  i don't think that's valid personally i wasn't a part of the video creation process for that
+[3258.52 --> 3265.24]  but from my view i don't think it's being blinded when to be able to see that you would have had to
+[3265.24 --> 3270.04]  make extremely wild drastic assumptions that wouldn't have made any sense in the moment
+[3271.08 --> 3276.20]  um yeah and it has that would have been very a very weird thing to assume here's the thing is i
+[3276.20 --> 3282.92]  think people underestimate how much profit there is in having a video up um a day or two earlier for
+[3282.92 --> 3287.56]  us the main issue from what i heard yeah and like again the reason why i keep on putting this in is
+[3287.56 --> 3292.52]  because i'm actually outside of the circle but the main issue that i heard was that we had a
+[3292.52 --> 3297.64]  completed video yeah we did that would have been a problem if we released yeah because now there was
+[3297.64 --> 3303.72]  new information so we were correcting a problem we were we were completely done our vega 64 launch
+[3303.72 --> 3309.64]  video with the air cooled and the liquid cooled card someone says ldt is totally sellout we do sponsor
+[3309.64 --> 3316.04]  spots yeah we do ads we work with companies but we are very transparent when we do so yeah and that has
+[3316.04 --> 3320.60]  not wanting to repeat work that you've done because someone else made a terrible last minute decision
+[3320.60 --> 3326.84]  that screws you over i think it's a perfectly reasonable stance yeah and as for getting content
+[3326.84 --> 3333.72]  out on launch day honestly we don't make a bunch more money for doing that um a youtube view is not
+[3333.72 --> 3338.60]  worth nearly as much as you might think in terms of monetary value so yeah we'll get a few more views
+[3338.60 --> 3346.12]  but for me it's more about making sure that we are perceived as a place that you go when you go and
+[3346.12 --> 3353.72]  get like graphics card news about a new card that launches and if you know let's say let's say we
+[3353.72 --> 3359.16]  weren't able to bring people in on the weekend if our video goes up and it's just vega 64 and everyone
+[3359.16 --> 3364.20]  else's video or written review goes up and it's vega 56 and vega 64 it makes us look stupid
+[3365.08 --> 3369.64]  and we don't want that and we shouldn't have to work through the weekend in order to do that
+[3369.64 --> 3374.20]  companies should be respectful of our time and our schedules and the fact that we have lives and kids
+[3374.20 --> 3381.48]  and other things we have to deal with um that's the issue what about likes are they worth more profit no
+[3381.48 --> 3389.80]  likes are worth nothing exactly zero um some guy said luke likes negative comments uh they can be helpful
+[3389.80 --> 3395.32]  because if someone's thinking those things genuinely it's good to address it and uh help
+[3395.32 --> 3400.44]  them understand that they're wrong absolutely um okay this was posted originally on the forum by
+[3401.32 --> 3405.08]  james had like an hour to throw together the doc today so i don't blame him for it not being there
+[3405.08 --> 3409.72]  numlock 21 yeah no and the original article here is from tom's hardware amd has gone into a little
+[3409.72 --> 3417.40]  bit more detail about their epic and thread ripper chip designs uh claiming a 41 cost reduction which
+[3417.40 --> 3422.12]  would actually account for the difference in price between amd's 16 core chip and intel's yeah
+[3423.08 --> 3431.16]  which is pretty cool so they decided to go with um like this modular design versus a monolithic design
+[3431.16 --> 3437.72]  because even though the modular design because of the interconnects is 10 percent higher in costs so 10
+[3437.72 --> 3445.00]  percent more dye space apparently it saves so many failures allowing them to all right save so many
+[3445.00 --> 3451.32]  failures that they can just take higher yield ones and quote-unquote glue them together that they
+[3451.32 --> 3457.80]  actually reduce their cost by they estimate 41 that's pretty freaking cool that is actually very
+[3457.80 --> 3463.08]  cool and that's very good for them specifically yeah to be honest and good for the consumer need to be
+[3463.08 --> 3468.76]  making money so that they can actually keep doing things they like super do uh amazon has made its
+[3468.76 --> 3476.84]  first big move with whole foods the original article here is from bloomberg um i was on prime members
+[3476.84 --> 3485.72]  to get discounts at whole foods so you can pay just a uh less inflated price for groceries and paper
+[3485.72 --> 3491.96]  bags instead of plastic bags because you're a giant hipster not that i'm judging i've shopped at whole foods
+[3491.96 --> 3498.44]  um they also plan to make prime the customer rewards program at whole foods and products from
+[3498.44 --> 3503.32]  whole foods private label 365 will be available on amazon they have not yet indicated a time frame
+[3503.32 --> 3506.84]  for all these changes i technically have never shopped there but i've shopped at the like
+[3508.60 --> 3516.52]  the like langley alternative oh okay yeah it's um it's it's so it's so funny it's uh smells like health
+[3516.52 --> 3522.44]  food the structure of it is very much like a um like a chain clothing store like a hollister i think
+[3522.44 --> 3526.76]  is the one that always smells like cedar wood is it hollister i don't i don't i don't know which
+[3526.76 --> 3531.64]  clothing stores but um you know how you walk into the last time i was in a mall and they like feel
+[3531.64 --> 3537.80]  really unique and then you go to another one of the same store somewhere else and it's exactly the
+[3537.80 --> 3545.72]  same flavor of totally unique where it's this very um contrived yeah uh you know we do this totally
+[3545.72 --> 3550.76]  differently than everybody else so uh yeah no i shopped at whole foods i think i've been there
+[3550.76 --> 3555.80]  twice okay once because it was the only thing within walking distance of my hotel yeah and another
+[3555.80 --> 3563.64]  time because i really needed an ice cream bar and i bought the only like with fat with dairy with
+[3563.64 --> 3568.12]  gluten ice cream bar in the whole store actually no i think it was gluten-free by the way if you're in
+[3568.12 --> 3574.68]  vancouver i believe this weekend or maybe only for one specific day but look it up uber is like coming
+[3574.68 --> 3581.72]  here now to vancouver finally and i believe they're showing up by doing free ice cream bar deliveries
+[3582.28 --> 3587.08]  oh but i think it's only in vancouver sick i don't think they're doing all uber all the way out here if
+[3587.08 --> 3592.36]  they are doing uber all the way out here i am getting my free ice cream bar actually even if not
+[3592.36 --> 3597.00]  i might just like go down there to get a free ice cream bar because i'm going down there on saturday
+[3597.00 --> 3603.56]  anyways what else do we have uh this is from bloomberg uh apple reported to unveil a new apple tv that'll be
+[3603.56 --> 3612.04]  faster 4k hdr video blippity bloppity pixel 2 is coming october 5th rumor rumor rumor originally
+[3612.04 --> 3621.80]  posted by techcrunch and um yep it looks like a phone it looks like a phone it looks like a pixel
+[3622.68 --> 3629.24]  it has a thing here that's kind of pixely yeah the bezels are smaller a lot smaller yeah way smaller
+[3629.24 --> 3637.00]  snapdragon 836 uh it could have front facing speakers i love that note that's my favorite note
+[3637.00 --> 3643.96]  from today apparently a two to one aspect ratio okay i know that mathematically there's no reason
+[3644.52 --> 3653.24]  to call um oh what is it yeah to call 16 by 10 16 by 10 right you could just as easily call it 8 by 5
+[3653.24 --> 3660.44]  yeah but for the sake of making life a little easier i kind of wish everyone would go like by 9
+[3661.24 --> 3669.64]  since we all know what 16 by 9 is yeah but the what is a two to one aspect ratio so that would be
+[3669.64 --> 3674.92]  18 by 9 i guess yeah 18 by 9 but the fact that i have to convert it all the time
+[3674.92 --> 3679.16]  it's gonna drive me crazy to be fair this probably affects almost no one but you
+[3679.16 --> 3684.60]  so there's some rumors but i do understand where you're coming from uh 4.97 inch 1080p display for
+[3684.60 --> 3691.16]  the smaller one with a uh six inch on the larger xl apparently it'll be provided by lg it'll support uh
+[3691.16 --> 3697.96]  it'll sport four gigs of ram on board internal storage might get boosted to 64 gigs and uh it's probably got
+[3697.96 --> 3705.40]  a great camera it might there's a lot of like it could it might yeah uh there's a it might drop the
+[3705.40 --> 3711.40]  headphone port but like might have front-facing speakers it might have squeezable sides it might
+[3711.40 --> 3719.48]  have bluetooth well it might be able to connect to the internet okay we don't know maybe they're
+[3719.48 --> 3727.88]  going with the uh world's first modern smartphone without the internet wi-fi hotspot only i think we're
+[3727.88 --> 3732.04]  probably done with this week and thank you for watching the show we will see you again next week
+[3732.04 --> 3737.24]  same bad time same bad channel oh spacex photos of the new spacesuit are actually super cool have
+[3737.24 --> 3742.68]  you seen these fine you can do that i know i'm a fanboy but like they're pretty neat um all right fine
+[3742.68 --> 3747.32]  we'll look at the new space wait these aren't the ones that i saw these aren't as cool oh they're still
+[3747.32 --> 3754.20]  pretty cool those don't look that amazing no where's the cool ones those are just spacesuits where's the
+[3754.20 --> 3760.68]  cool ones yeah i think you're just i think you're done i think that's the wrong article that is the wrong
+[3760.68 --> 3766.04]  article okay here's the right article dang it james for throwing this together in an hour and screwing
+[3766.04 --> 3773.08]  up one thing so far it also doesn't have the other photo whatever let's talk about floatplane stuff yeah
+[3773.08 --> 3780.36]  floatplane not dead not dead definitely not dead doing great actually had a meeting today people were
+[3780.36 --> 3786.92]  cool thanks for showing up guys that work on floatplane uh outdoor gaming the ultimate camping battle
+[3786.92 --> 3790.60]  station i think we need a new thumbnail for this one that makes it more clear that we are in the
+[3790.60 --> 3797.48]  middle of a forest gaming on like a freaking awesome gaming pc um let's see mezzanine update i forgot to
+[3797.48 --> 3802.84]  upload that i did at the last minute there this is a really cool video i think a lot of you will like it
+[3803.88 --> 3810.20]  we designed the ultimate gaming tv have you seen this have you heard about this no so um alex and i worked
+[3810.20 --> 3818.04]  on this together and we basically conceptualized what uh what a perfect tv for gamers would be
+[3819.16 --> 3824.04]  and this is just a couple of we've probably got somewhere between six and ten features
+[3824.68 --> 3830.20]  that tv makers for whatever reason have their heads too far up their rectums i think i heard about one of
+[3830.20 --> 3836.20]  the features okay so one of them was an integrated um what's that stupid thing called that you have that
+[3836.20 --> 3843.40]  um uh analog to digital converter whoa what's that thing called again frame meister the frame meister
+[3843.40 --> 3849.88]  so is it actually a frame meister so think about it think about this it doesn't have to be no as long
+[3849.88 --> 3855.48]  as it was something quite similar so the frame meister actually here we're no okay we got frame meister
+[3855.48 --> 3861.48]  probably like a little too overkill for most yes so it costs about 400 for a frame meister which is this
+[3861.48 --> 3867.40]  external box that takes your analog source like a super nintendo or playstation one and converts it to
+[3867.40 --> 3875.24]  hdmi with next to no latency because as you may or may not have noticed your tv if it takes in an analog
+[3875.24 --> 3881.48]  source does a couple of things number one is even compared to its normal input lag it adds even more
+[3881.48 --> 3890.20]  lag and number two is it does a crap-tastic job of the conversion it'll look like garbage so the frame meister
+[3890.20 --> 3896.52]  does a great job of both of those things yeah at 400 it's a lot it's a lot but when you look at a
+[3896.52 --> 3901.80]  premium tv you look at the bomb cost of a premium tv we're talking like five six seven thousand us
+[3901.80 --> 3908.04]  dollars is it unreasonable to think a couple of things number one that by cheaping out on some
+[3908.04 --> 3914.28]  stuff we don't care about like how thin it is that they could find some of that cost to spend on
+[3914.28 --> 3919.16]  good analog to digital conversion and number two that they could achieve economies of scale that would
+[3919.16 --> 3922.84]  make a frame meister cost a lot less it's not expensive hardware really aren't that many
+[3922.84 --> 3927.72]  frame meisters that's one of the reasons why they're so expensive exactly so anyway that was
+[3927.72 --> 3934.84]  one of the ideas so retro gamers could game on their new tv and have a not crap experience um so we've
+[3934.84 --> 3940.04]  got a bunch of other ideas um a modular system for the speakers yeah that's the one thing i had heard
+[3940.04 --> 3944.84]  about so you can take them off they just clip on and they have like just contacts that go or you could
+[3944.84 --> 3949.72]  take them off reposition them run speaker wire and then you could add like the rest of a kit or
+[3949.72 --> 3955.72]  something like that um display port in was one of the things we asked for so there's a bunch of stuff
+[3955.72 --> 3965.00]  a lot of which would be very low cost to implement um a return to front io right yeah like come on bring
+[3965.00 --> 3970.36]  back i always nice i don't mind a little chin bar you know give me and so front uh front usb charging
+[3970.36 --> 3978.52]  ports for controllers um for like uh vr accessories things like that so there's just a bunch of stuff
+[3978.52 --> 3983.48]  we came up with we designed what we think is a gaming tv and we would love for the tv industry to
+[3984.20 --> 3992.04]  you know maybe wake the crap up uh we took a look at the first all amd gaming pc from dell it's like
+[3992.04 --> 3997.00]  taped onto the side well yeah but there's an actual chip inside too that was for illustrative purposes luke
+[3997.00 --> 4005.08]  that's awesome how many pcie extensions is too many and the answer is a lot was it still working
+[4005.08 --> 4011.64]  then you bet oh my god um that's crazy organization vlog day one wow we've actually got a lot of good
+[4011.64 --> 4016.76]  stuff on here right now cool the last uh last week i think it was i wasn't that enamored with a lot of
