[Assistant] So that you only have to write five lines of code, but at the end of the day, you're running 200 million lines of code, half of which you don't need. And that's the unfortunate part with higher level languages.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you and me both, but they had to, that's the thing is whenever you create a product that's designed for a whole array of devices, you have to develop for the lowest common denominator, which unfortunately is like a Casio watch or the Windows 8. I mean, it's kind of like, it runs on this for crying out loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a Surface RT. This thing's got like less RAM than like a flip phone and it, and it runs on here. So that's the problem. They tried to make it super small.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So. No, and they do have, they have look ahead caching and stuff like that. Like the system is supposed to learn your, your tendencies, which apps you open and use most often. And then it's supposed to load those ahead of time, like pre-cache them into memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the thing that really sucks is it's like all you do is you install Windows 8, change your file type associations, throw a classic start menu on it and the thing will run circles around Windows 7. It just does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I completely understand and there are situations where even I would run Windows 7 in place of Windows 8. I mean, they're pretty rare situations, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they had to be really fast ones too. That was the thing is I remember if you plugged in one that wasn't certified and you're like, screw it, do it anyways, it would actually slow you down. Good times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was mostly for laptops, it really was. And honestly, a cool feature in Windows 8 is Windows To Go. You can actually install it to a USB 3 thumb drive and boot the entire operating system and run it right off the USB drive. And I think that's actually a cool feature to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or booting VHDs, that's another thing they don't really advertise, but you can, Windows 8, you can actually boot a virtual, you can boot a VHD virtual disc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the benefits of that is now you can put that virtual disc on anything, not even just a USB thumb drive. You can literally just transport it anywhere. Well, we'll see. We'll see how Microsoft does without me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'm not, I'm not going to Korea guys. Cause I'm not, I'm not giving back my bonuses. I'm sorry. If I, if I performed poorly and you gave me a bonus, then, then you suck company. You need to reevaluate what you're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Glenn, it's just for fun. You should, you should actually go and like talk to your whole media group team or whatever and be like, guys, I'm going to give you $100 bonus, but I think you should give 50% of it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, record it like vlog style. Just walk up and be like, I would like to record you with this hundred dollars. Give it to him in like two fifties or something. Or a couple twenties. And be like, now how much of that do you want to give back to the company for your corporate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'd be funny, you put the in-ear monitors on, you just put the headphones over the top of them, everything, you're like, yeah, check out my beats, guys, and you're all listening to something way better underneath.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They suck. I had one of, I think it was like the Ben Heck 5.1s or something from some company. And I remember if you cranked them up all the way, it would blur your vision. Like they shook so hard on your head. It would just seriously screw with your vision and make your jaw hurt. And I was like, why is this a good thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Weird. I mean, I've got an audio transducer on my seat right now that shakes. I don't have it turned on right now because I don't want Linus vibrating my ass. You guys understand. But, uh, but I do have one and I do like the sensation of it. It makes your, I don't know. It's weird. You can feel the bass, so it kind of tricks you and it feels like you're hearing a deeper bass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does, the effect works. It's believable. If you put on a crappy pair of headphones, it feels like you can hear deeper bass, even though it's just the vibration. It's hard to explain, but it's weird. It works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'd want it to be a separate part. Like if I had the option, I would absolutely want it to be a separate part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to use the damn thing as a tablet when I want to use a tablet and I don't want a giant ass controller in the way. Every time I try to use Twitter or Facebook with my old Nvidia shield, it's like, it's like I'm holding an entire other object I'm not using and it drives me nuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, but, I think that they should be separate, but have a way to be put together. I think that separate controllers should have like a dock on it. That would be cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you know what a shield is good for though? I found a really cool use for a shield. The Parrot AR Drone, the little quadricopter thing. You can fly that with the shield and watch in real time while you're flying it. So you can like fly it around corners and stuff. It's actually really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, what phone should I get now guys? I'm thinking about selling this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yup, I'm uh, I'm officially poor people now guys, so I need your support. And I'm over at the www's dot barn nerd, yea the barn, like where the cows are, nerd dot com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's where I'm going to be living the rest of my life, probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna make C sharp and maybe some C and C++ videos and if I'm really gonna be masochistic I'll make some batch file tutorials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think you guys would love how to make like little destructive batch files that delete your Windows directory and piss you off really, really bad. I'm just kidding. I won't do that. I would never do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We make snap decisions. Speaking of making snap decisions. Are you giving away mine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all of the tweets were not related to the fix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of tweets that are not related to anything, what the heck is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah? Are you sure? Yeah. Okay, how about- You wouldn't sell it to me for $20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dun-dun-dun-da. I don't know where he went. I guess I can do the call-outs. We've got Google I.O. happened, so they were showing us stuff like things that we'll talk about later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, 98TI is officially launching at Computex, potentially, and some Star Citizen's assets leaked and the internet went quite crazy, and 2K is teasing a new game that could potentially be a new Bioshock. Which is cool because I've been benching Bioshock for years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I read a bunch of those types of things on Twitter, so I think I took it from someone, but I'm not sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Squarespace. I see what you did there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we want you somewhere at a certain time, we tell you about half an hour before we actually want you there. Right. If it's like, oh, Linus needs to be doing this at 4.30, we'll be like, hey Linus, you have to be doing this at 4. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, you couldn't mount a computer fan on a radiator, because then that's using that fan to cool the radiator. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about like almost 8 hours of footage times 2 for one day of Scrapyard Wars. Just scrubbing through that footage alone, not even putting it together in an entertaining format is going to take forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Constraints, tool constraints, scrapyard wars constraints, financial constraints, we did a lot of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but it's Google. So are they counting, like, guests as users? Uhm. Cause that's weird. Well they couldn't probably tell. It's Google.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause if you only use it for the, I don't know, sure, travel diary, I don't care. But I decided like I was gonna do that. But now I think I'm just gonna try to get everything on a GoPro. Right. And have a video version, cause I think that's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think it's, it's assumed that you have controlled the account. So I think Google was like, well, the parent will make it and it will be fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, is that 700,000, like if it works in McDonald's, is that counting all the McDonald's that are getting it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they talked about how they're gonna start moving away from cardboard. Yeah, that's good, I guess. Yeah, that's actually quite interesting. Where even are these notes? Oh, they're just not in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry for the yawning, this week has been exhausting. Mainly from Scribbler Wars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahem, ahem, ahem. My laptop's lagging again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're huge, by the way, but anyways, Colorful is a China-based company selling cards in the Chinese market. That is probably all you really need to know to be completely honest. Colorful started out as- I heard there's a billion people in China. And continues to be a vendor of wacky, over-the-top GeForce GTX cards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paylet is the biggest graphics card manufacturer by volume with a brand portfolio that includes Galaxy, Gainward, Point of View,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While you search for that, Colorful has been uh, clocking an average of 500,000 graphics cards shipped per month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a lot. Isn't that crazy? That's insane! Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you seen their, wow, have you seen their like $1300 GTX 980?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I don't like iMessage to use it for text messaging.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then you have to use messaging as well and messaging is garbage. So then you have to use some other app and then that some other app doesn't really work with your smartwatch very well. So then that's a garbage and it's just frustrating. Uhm, and then all of the rest of the things that I like about the phone have nothing to do with the fact that it's an iPhone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And like Instagram's huge. Like this phone, trying to take a picture with it, I'm like, wow, this looks terrible. And then I click the take photo button and it's like, wow, it looks way better. That's dumb. And then I upload it on Instagram and I'm like, wow, it looks bad again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whaaat? Like, what do I do? And then on an iPhone, it's like, kay, it looks like this. Press button, kay, it still looks like that. I'll go to Instagram, kay, yea, okay. Everything's fine. I don't know. Yep. So frustrating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And is that Android's fault? No, I still really like Android, but it's just, it's nice when you get all the apps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone in the chat was like, doesn't know how to focus. No, that's actually a, I was making two comments in one. It, it takes the photo fine. It looks like garbage. And then you take the photo and it looks really good. And I could transfer that off to onto my computer and it would look fine and everything's good. It's, it's when you upload things to Instagram on Android, it kills the quality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like what defines a hacking tool? Can you just generally classify a whole bunch of different distributions of Linux as hacking tools? Because they get used for hacking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you can use it for back, back, trace, back, back trace? I don't know, whatever. Moving on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he accidentally leaked part of a URL, someone guessed the rest of the URL, and it was a download that was 48 gigabytes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so someone recorded that. So that looks that good on a user's computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you know how creepy people thought the Furbies were? Yeah? Yeah, so think about a Furby that also records everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking their sweet freaking time with it, but yeaah, that could be really interesting. That was by Victoria's Secret, I don't know if we called that it or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, yes I did. Also, someone in the chat when we were talking about smart toys, uhm, posted smart dildo with a whole bunch of kaffa faces. If you don't think those exist, you're crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a profile like I like hikes and sniffing butts. Some people date just for the action. It could be like things that I enjoy and then just like a column of food and like a column of butts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. So we were kinda like talking about how they were gonna do cool stuff. Is this from them officially? Or is this someone else releasing this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Backtrack 5 was the Linux OS thing distribution that I was talking about a long time ago that most people aren't going to know this reference for but anyways, moving on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. We're talking about it. That's true. We're talking about it because it's ridiculous. So?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if someone's like, what if someone's like, I don't like my job, I wanna go work in a space station that happens to be on the ground and can't go to space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't be too surprised if I was like, huh, it kinda looks like a similar shape. But I wouldn't be like, that is the enterprise. Because, I don't know, there's problems. Like, isn't the height differential not even like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ohhhh, there we go. Yea, cause okay. And like it doesn't have the bottom thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Either way, I think there's more height differential and there's a thing below it, which is obviously not being shown.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like the big saucer part is supposed to just be kind of connected by like a little thing. That's it. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was probably much less than you were. No, really. I've seen maybe one episode of Star Trek. Sorry for people that now hate me. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, going through the motions. The chat hates me right now. I'm just being honest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could lie and be like, uh, yeah, uh, that's the ship, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up? Oh yea, that's pretty funny. Oh my god. Who posted that? Uh, Sim... Sur Numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If one country, if one company was to, say like a hundred years from now, corporations are essentially countries at this point, because we're getting close to that anyways, uhm, like if someone had to run the whole world, who would you think would do it best?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a ginormous jar of pickles!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Average running temperature than all the other ones, so it's possible. Thank you, Zotac, for doing such a thing. So I'm trying to get them to send me one. I actually recommend, if you want to see our video on how good it is, go like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go after Zotac and be like, hey, send Linus Tech Tips a freaking card so they can bench it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to catch up on the links guys, we're just bouncing all over the place and it's hard to keep up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm happy to see that people are tweeting Zotac to send me that card. Thanks for watching, guys. Thank you to Squarespace, and Massdrop, if it goes up there, yeaah, and Dollar Shave Club, they all have different looking title cards. Thanks everyone, bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The easiest way to see my stuff would be just to go to barnnerd.com. You know the barn like where they keep the cows and the nerds like where they keep the, well the nerds.com. That's where I'm at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For reals? Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Do I really have to start with fractal? Josh is awesome though. Do I really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, alright guys. We got a mass exodus of Xbox exclusives. Yeaah, I care about that a whole lot. Okay, uh, GameStop, Fingerprints, Customers. Actually, that's, that sucks. Alright, now I'm kinda depressed. Take it away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, I can't wait. I can't wait. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No guys, I can see it. You guys can't see. So I'm just saying privy privy to certain knowledge here, apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever seen one of my streams? This is a part for the course. Like me just being here probably just screwed up everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then, and this one right here is a hack and this one, no, I'm just kidding. I don't, I don't do that guys. I'm legit. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm guessing when you purchase things, they're basically storing your fingerprint like a banquet if you're cashing a check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, besides, whose fingerprints are in the system? I mean, yeah, okay, if you're already a past criminal, but if it's your first offense, yeah, good luck finding them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some ideas later on down the road when you commit a crime, then all of a sudden they come in and they go, yeah, you were jaywalking, but you also sold like 40 games to GameStop that you didn't own. So, I'm sorry, your sentence is now life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if you're like under 18 though? Or something like that? Can they legally even fingerprint you at that point? Or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're like, apparently you can't take pictures of people's kids. Like it's weird. We have weird laws, man. I'm moving to Canada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what, this is what happens when Google and Google buys YouTube and then buys Twitch is, is we're going to see lots of really cost some changes. Like I bet you every day we log into Twitch. Now there's going to be like new buttons we've never seen before in the layout. It's like every day. Oh my God, dude. You see it's coming. Mark my words. It's coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they kind of did the same thing for YouTube, didn't they? Like YouTube had an audio library pop up that was like openly available to everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they might do that. They might even do like some kind of, uh, ad base thing too, where if they detect music on your thing, they'll just run ads for that. You know, that could be beneficial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then again, we're smart people. I don't, I don't know about them Google guys sometimes with their whole just throwing their money around trying to make Google plus win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm actually just playing around. If I went back to the IT field, Google would be the first company I went and actually worked for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're pretty, they're pretty stand up. I've actually talked to a lot of people at Google. They're pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I saw some funny streams the other day when I was looking around on there with like titles like playing copyright music all day, all night. And that's how I found out about this, was originally all these people just kind of spiting them. So I was like, hmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's the problem is when you're, when you're a small company, you can take the liability, right? I mean, chances are they're not going to see you unless they can make, you know, a massive amount of money, but look who owns them now, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's big pockets now behind Twitch all of a sudden so they have to protect themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So everybody increase your music to 1.2x speed when you're playing it in the background. It just fudges their whole algorithm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd imagine a CPU like this though. I mean, this isn't designed for just running straight up binary operations. This is like multiple states.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, so you'd have to write custom software, custom compiler, all that stuff. So I'd be curious to see what they ultimately use that for. But the power consumption kind of blows my mind. I'm like, why can they build something like this that consumes so little power? Yet a conventional CPU still can like heat your coffee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the last time you tried to calculate pi out to like the four million place, how long did it take you to do it? Cause the computer can do it in like three seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looks like I remember back when they made the Xbox 360. I mean, they were paying, uh, uh, two and a half times the cost of the system to produce each one, so they were losing money hand over fist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'd imagine in this situation, it's probably not as bad. I'd hope they'd learn from their mistake, but still in the beginning, you're going to take a huge hit, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were losing money like crazy cause just a factory run of the mill blubit, uh, blu-ray player at the time was like $100 more expensive than buying the console that did the better job. And I know that that hurt them really bad in the beginning too, but honestly I think the whole console thing's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love consoles, but I think they just waited too long. I think 10 years and then coming out with other consoles. Like everybody's kind of moved on to other things. Mobile gaming, desktop gaming. I think it's just, it's kind of killing that market down a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I remember when the PS3 came out, it was like so beyond any generation of computer. They were, the people were actually taking that cell processor, dropping Linux distros on it and using it for processing because no conventional computer could do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, a lot of people were doing that, uh, the leading project on, so remember the SETI at home, the search for architecture? Yes. Yeah, there was like some, the top ranking one in that list for like a year was just a bank of PS3s. It was so damn good at running those floating point numbers with that cell processor. It was awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Copy the last one, port it to PC, put a new number on it, whatever, just give it to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I was, I, I love it. As far as console, that's, that's probably the one game that I love playing on console and on PC, like the same. Like I love just sitting down and playing it on console. But it's funny because this is probably the one time Microsoft was actually thankful that all the consoles were dying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a nerd. Just ignore, just right click and ignore him. Like, just get him out of here. Large Linus is here today. Linus needs to take care of his spawn. Go take care of your spawn, Linus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And at one point between Microsoft in my house, I was able to set up a route where I could jump from one wifi to another between two access points and seamlessly maintain my internet connection all the way home. So I could stream like YouTube, music on Pandora, everything with no cellular signal all the way from the time I left the parking lot time and pulled into my driveway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There used to be a database online too. I remember that certain war-dialing software that you ran would actually upload the database so everybody could search for these unsecure networks even without identifying them first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, no, that was, that was a really big deal, but that's clever to attach it to your cat and just let him go roam the neighborhood and find your networks. That's, uh, that's pretty hilarious. And then you can put a high gain intent on your house and reach out and grab them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I remember back in the day, people used to just connect to, uh, unsecure networks and find shared printers on your computer, because inside your house, you usually don't secure your network. A lot of people didn't back in the day. So, you know, you'd just be sitting there and your printer would just be spitting out sheets of paper like, oh hey, I got your, you know, hey, I'm printing this, I'm printing this, I'm on your network, I'm on your network. And then they're like, oh crap, I better go figure out what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So at least, at least sometimes it helps them find it or your cable provider comes out and goes, oh yeah, you've been sharing movies, uh, for like six months off your connection. And this like little old lady is like, what's a share movie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my God, that's priceless though, man. I didn't read that. That's, that's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really common down here also. I think even Starbucks down here, they give you access, but you have to go through a webpage and agree to their terms of service first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all about the SEO, man. It's like when you put Gazm on the end of things, people run into it on accident for some reason. I don't know why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, talk to me after the show. We can definitely do an episode on how to create prank apps because I've probably created hundreds of them over the last 15 years of Microsoft and most of them were pretty successful because I know all the little nooks and crannies to put things where people can't find them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's awesome. I actually have a program I want to give you to go prank somebody one time. I called it Tourette's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I made this program. I'll go find the source code for it and send it to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think it's just a play to force, force upgrade to ATI, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, looking at it from the marketing standpoint, I mean, obviously, if people can get a good PhysX experience from a cheap little GPU that's no longer relevant or supported, you know, that's not good business for them. You know, they want you to run their product. So by cutting off the competition and saying, okay, you have to be running Nvidia everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, yeah, it just seems like it seems like they actually had to go out of their way to like disable the feature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all the card was doing was processing PhysX, so was it really doing any work with the other GPU? It doesn't sound like it was, it sounds like it was just sitting there and independently doing its thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's more of like a, we're sad, we're sad that people out there are like trying to use ATI and Nvidia and it's like ruining our whole fanboy campaign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you seen all the tweets I've been sending out for like the last 3 weeks? All the Half Life 3 comments?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa. So not everybody's gonna be able to just find this. I mean, only the true hacksaurs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, from a software developer perspective too, chances are if the engine's in its, you know, in an earlier stage like this, it's probably debug code. So it's probably heavily, heavily filled with lots of additional code that just gets cut out for the final product. But they need that code to find all the bugs early on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Was it exciting? It was very exciting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna give that service a try actually. I like that. Cause every, every other subscription shirt service I've done, you know, you already know what's coming. I'd like to just get surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went and bought one pair, like two pairs of tailored jeans once in my entire life, and it was like the most horrible experience ever. It's like, some people like that, it's like, oh here have some water, we're gonna tailor your jeans. I can't stand it. It's like, I just wanna go buy them and cuff them up and say screw it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause, cause that's like honestly most of all the coding knowledge that I have is from taking video, like current coding knowledge from video courses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I've taken over the course of many years because it's just, you can slow them down. You can speed them up. You can play them back. You can keep going back. I mean, it's honestly the best way to learn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well no, I'm not talking about like textbooks from college, I'm talking about like, if you want to go buy like the C Sharp Bible or something like that, one of the larger reference material books, or like C Sharp for Dummies and stuff, you can pay 30 to 60 bucks for a single book. So I'd rather have a month of unlimited access to everything, than accept that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are a lot of case manufacturers actually adopting that form factor too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause that's what pisses me off is I built so many of these little systems and usually when they die you have to throw the whole case away and like go buy another one. Cause like the free power supply is proprietary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and your chances are you're not going to stuff a big enough GPU in that system anyways to need that giant power requirement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'd be awesome to have like a micro ITX build with a Titan and the Titan's like an integral part of the case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys would have like warm water like you could probably replace the water heater in your house with that thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will make you a deal. You can pass this on to Linus. If you guys find a way to put a shower head on there in a kiddie pool, I will drive my ass up to Canada and I will take a shower in that damn kiddie pool. I will do it as a part of-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what you guys should do is just take a whole bunch of like four extra radiators and just leave them on a shelf. That way you don't have to put one on every computer. You just basically take the radio over and like snap it to the side of it. And then when you're done, you unplug it and plug it back in. That'd be pretty cool too. That's not a bad idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mario is homo nintendonus. From here on out, everybody when a plumber is at your house refer to them as homo nintendonus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was fine, but now they've changed the dynamic to where it's like, now you go buy the game or get the game for free, like Blacklight Retribution for instance. A lot of people like that game. You get in there and then it's like people are like walking around with mechs and got like indestructible armor and you're like running around with like your Daisy Red Rider pump action BB gun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're just making a mad scramble to get a bunch of people to beta test their net code so that they can get issues worked out early.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dude, free is free. That's the thing is, I tend not to complain as much about games that are free as the games I've paid like $400 to play. Electronic Arts, gotta buy your Battlefield 4 on what is it, Xbox. I got an Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, and two of them I got premium on. Why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I have people I play with on all those different consoles. Like I have friends that I play with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The netcode is so bad though. How did they go from like decent netcode to such horrible netcode? Like the rubber banding and the random pauses and like the hit markers? Like you're shooting some dude or where you just shoot out into nowhere and it's like some guy dies. You're like, where was he? And then he just like appears and dies in front of you. You're like, uh, this is wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the only reason I like consoles, Luke. The only reason is because you put the damn CD in the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I've got, I've got one of those. It's just, it's from a different company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think the whole update thing is completely stupid. Like, it doesn't seem like they even try to get the updates that small because like, oh, you look at the, you look at like the change list and the change list is like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. It was cool how configurable it is though, cause you can set up macros and literally do everything, the timing between buttons. I mean, you could literally make one key, like do a combo, like if you're playing Mortal Kombat or something, you have one key be like a half moon, BA, and like always nail that move. So yeah, I guess, I guess that is pretty, pretty cute.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if xplit was like written in basic or something, cause it's like, oh my god, is it bloatware?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like the interface. I think it works better overall once you get it configured. But god, whoever wrote the user interface for that thing was like, I don't know. I think he might've been blind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are two Larry space quest. Oh God. They had awesome games. I love Sierra. They like dominated the eighties and nineties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your favorite Sierra game? Quick. Favorite all time Sierra game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I loved about Sierra games though, is every single one of them had a really crude, funny sense of humor, like full of UNO's and everything. It was awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've held my nut before. I think you got it right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, if you enjoyed the show and you enjoyed me, even if you didn't enjoy me, still come over there. Barnard.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Or at Barnacles, which I think is there on the little screen down there. See that little bar? Yeah, come over to Twitter and talk to me. I like when people talk to me. It's nice. It makes me feel like I'm not alone in this world. I'm not a virgin for life anymore. People will talk to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's funny? I have a kid and I put him in a bunch of videos and everybody still posts down the comments, virgin for life. So I just go with it now. I'm just like, dude, immaculate conception. My wife was just sitting there eating one night and she's like, I feel pregnant. I mean, it's, I didn't do, I didn't touch her. I'm just, I'm virgin for life here. Oh, that's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that Twitter account is Half-Life 3 released yet? And it's just like no, no, no, no. And it's just a bot that says no? We should make it. Is WhatsApp a social media network yet? No, no, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Facebook destroys it and makes a whole new thing. Yes, yes, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, spritz is a kind of amazing thing, which may change how you read things on different platforms and different devices, mainly smartphones and Google Glass and like smartwatches and stuff like that. That's gonna be really interesting, we'll talk about that later. And Nintendo discontinues Nintendo Wi-Fi connections.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really shouldn't have said one direction. That was a terrible idea. One specific angle that they're going on. One vector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably gonna be more of an overnight thing, uh, what, what that's gonna do for your battery charging, I don't know, although I fully expect that overnight, even running this, your battery's still gonna be up full by the time you wake up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're saying it where, while there wasn't substantive discussions, there may have been non-substantive discussions. Which are, it's not terrible. I liked it a lot more when they were in early stages of the movie, because that means it's coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only time I've ever seen a company get around this was actually Best Buy coming into Canada. Because they just bought Future Shop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, so they just bought them and the reason why they bought them was all of the ware hoses and distribution lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That makes sense, like despite being the white knight of the patent trolling industry and all that other kind of stuff that they were not that long ago, they don't actually have this giant wad of cash. Well, I'm sure they do, but not as giant as like Amazon or Apple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kinda cool that their servers didn't just completely kill themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's one thing that I noticed actually was they were tweeting that out, uhm, in no small part I'm sure to keep the ball rolling and all this kind of stuff and I heard nothing about, oh my god, everyone just switched to Telegram and it totally doesn't work at all. I didn't hear that ever. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And honestly, someone found the right application, as far as I can tell. Cause like I just said, as far as I can tell, it's the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with how people rate users for, uh, phone applications, they're probably not losing all the users that are going to Telegram. They're probably just that many people also getting Telegram, so they're not necessarily losing all these people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like my, my, my mom and grandpa have WhatsApp, but the only reason why they have WhatsApp is because I have informed them that they can message each other from very far away without fees. And they're both like, what the heck is this? And then eventually just got used to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know why Google. Probably because all other email services are horrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, one quick update, someone just tweeted me, apparently Twitch Play's Pokemon is very close to actually beating the game. Beating the game, not in terms of collecting every single possible Pokemon, because that's impossible because they can't trade, uhm, but beating the game as in beating the Elite Four, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so Seth Rogen to make Console Wars. This looks really interesting. I got really excited when I saw this because one of my favorite movies of all time is Pirates of Silicon Valley.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is this kind of idea, but Apple versus Microsoft. Uhm, something that worries me at the same time is the team working on this has done Superbad, Pineapple Express, and This is the End, which honestly are great movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I hope that they're not trying to use the same direction for this. Or if they do, I hope it's somehow awesome, because I'm sure they could do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I don't know. What I, what I expect to see from this is a Pirates of Silicon Valley-esque film. Which is still very entertaining to watch and stuff, but it's also a documentary at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it was the CD loader thing. This needs to stop talking. Uhm, I got apparently someone that I know is probably watching the show and just sent me an invite to Telegram. Awesome. Uhm, it's, Nintendo wanted someone to make them, I'm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it'll still be really interesting. Uhm, although I would like to see the war of the CD loader because that's why Sony got into consoles in the first place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, that would be really interesting. Why don't you tell them more about this? So, so Nintendo tried to get Sony to make them a CD loader for, I believe it was SNES, although I could be wrong there. Uhm, and then there was some bad blood, I believe the contract went sour, someone was breaking the contract, something along those lines, and Nintendo backed out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe it was Nintendo that backed out. And then Sony got pissed off and said, well, we developed this thing, let's make our own console. Enter PlayStation 1, and one of the biggest gaming regimes ever. Uhm, now with PlayStation 4, although Sony does look like they're doing fairly bad lately. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not entirely sure. I haven't tried it myself. Okay. I don't know. I've done no testing, but I've heard it's still rough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I, yeah, when we first started using it, I had my whole group on it. Like that was not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say that because of sponsorship. My whole group actually did use Razorcroms and ever since then we've just been kind of like floating around. We'll use in-game chat or other random things. So we're just like, oh man. Waiting for the next big thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unbelievable. Oh my god, like some of the stuff people do with technology sometimes is ridiculous. And the speed thing to go on that, I'm sure it'll get faster at some point in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ridiculous. Anyways, apparently, uhm, Telegram themselves do not do a desktop application, but it's an open API and someone else has made a desktop client. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Much less interested now. But at least it works and to be honest with the amount of people that are now using Telegram, maybe this will happen in the future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe they'll make it themselves. Um, because I'm sure they're much bigger than they were before. And I'm sure investors are much more interested now. So they might get some more cashflow and then do that themselves. That would be really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you for that. Your day's not going very well? It would probably be better if you bought an O2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting, and like, cause I even personally run different equalizer levels depending on what I'm listening to. Yep. Meaning I am NOT listening to it at exactly what it's supposed to sound like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Science and face, face? Science and face is fantastic. I meant to say space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, but the problem is that there's too much of a, uh, like a diffusion layer between the face and him because there's so much makeup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd have to do much archaeological research to actually get to the face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still a ton more to do, as always is the news with any space science-y kind of discoveries, but really freaking interesting. We should give NASA more money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if we can get Chris What's-his-name to go back up into space and not retire because he does not need to get out of the way for new astronauts because that's bullcrap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Accept that excuse. He needs to get back up there. We need to give NASA more funding and take the funding out of duck penises because that is stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just so dumb. And then we need to keep going with NASA's initiative to spread money into independent companies that are also trying to get to space because NASA is thinking about piggybacking on other companies because it could be much more cost efficient because if you're not a government run organization


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can do a lot of things like you don't have to buy from certain groups. That's a big thing in the government. You have to purchase from certain areas to keep competition free and open. Whereas if you were a private company, you could find the cheapest possible version of the exact thing that you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now I tried it and was honestly very easily able to get to the top WPM that is available through their website thing. So the drop down menu that's right there, which I believe is 500.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm sitting next to someone and we're trying to read something at the same time before we scroll, I'm always like, oh crap. I need to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kicking into high gear because there's no possible way that they're gonna get there after me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I will always be the second one to get to the bottom page. A lot of times if I'm reading on my own, the amount of times I have to reread a paragraph is insane. Uhm, I love reading, which is another frustrating thing because it takes me forever to get through books. All this kind of stuff. So being able to read, uh, news things or stuff for school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is where I'm not trying to like absorb the essence of every single freaking word and I just want to get the idea really quickly. This is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome, because if I can easily conquer 500 words per minute and hopefully easily conquer even higher than that, that would be very cool. Uhm, and one of the ways it works is you're not supposed to intently focus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I'm sure the more you get used to it, like, I think they're saying it goes up to 900 or 1000 words per minute. I'm sure if you used it all the time and you just incrementally went up, you could actually get up there. It's pretty crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I'd be able to use this properly for a book, because I think also, like, at certain speeds, blinking is even gonna be a big deal. Yeah. Staring at this thing for an extremely long period of time, I think, could be frustrating, but text messages, uhm, tele-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] News headlines, I'm sure RSS could come back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a big way. I know it hasn't gone away, but it's smaller than it used to be. If, if you could just be like spritz updates on your Google glass every once in a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like reading the home tab on Twitter would be viable. Right now it's just kind of, yea, kind of difficult to do. Too many things going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, yeaah. Uh, should I just, like, go through all of the Oculus things all of a sudden?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it requires a minor edit to one of the files, but you can get Oculus Rift working in the Star Citizen hangar. I'm definitely doing that this weekend. Like, there's no chance that I'm not doing that this weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I'm super excited about that, because being able to get into the cockpit of your ship, of course you can't fly anywhere yet, that's coming in dogfighting around April 18th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but you can get in the cockpit of your fighter or whatever you have and look around and actually see everything. Oh my god, that's so cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'm just like, oops, sorry, sorry. Oh, Twitch chat's probably freaking out. Were you just playing a video?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome. When he went up to what was portrayed as a cliff edge, he was actually legitimately scared to walk off and didn't for a little while until he was finally gathered his, uh, his senses, I guess, and finally decided to actually take that step. And he said it was legitimately scary. That's very interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I actually don't know a ton about this article despite putting it in here myself, uhm, I believe, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to just go through it, sure. So, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, this is I guess people exploring singular scenes with Oculus Rift. I actually haven't looked at this at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I experienced it. I actually have totally read this. I just, the title that was in the doc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Threw me off. Uh, I looked at the URL and figured it out. Uhm, so yeaah, it's really interesting and there's a bunch of other things coming into play too is, uhm, some guy had an artificial hand put on. His hand was cut off for whatever reason and he had it replaced with an artificial one and he was able to, through a screen so he can't see it, reach and touch something and tell people what it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His feeling was portrayed and he could tell textures and stuff like that. So he could tell them what he was touching without being able to see it with an artificial hand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if they can get that type of technology into something like gloves or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's awesome. They've already done things with, uh, allowing you to go on essentially like Google street view tours of golf courses. You can see the whole thing, but if you could virtually walk it, that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even a lot more interesting. And I think not even necessarily just the Rift and not even necessarily just Oculus, but just VR in general, I think is going to be a huge marketing tool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's, I'm sure that's gonna be huge. There's, there's no point in trying to shove that under a blanket. Oh god. Um, haha. Yeah, I don't think it'll fit in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you don't need an Amazon showroom anymore. Right. Maybe you just put an Oculus on it. Probably won't need unboxing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People that I talk to and I'll like bring up Linus Tech Tips and they'll be like, yeah, I like his unboxing videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's quite a while actually, yeah. So I don't know. Again, as every week, exciting things in VR are happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, it's ridiculously interesting. I'm excited to see what it comes from, and especially from people like the guys who made Gravity, uh, Chris Hadfield aside, hating Gravity and getting kicked out of the theater, but anyways, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be really interesting if you could move that to a VR experience because I'm sure different parts of that movie would like legitimately scare people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're moving from like a lot of horror movies nowadays, just being jumpscares, which is stupid in my opinion, to actually inciting fear because you feel like you're actually in the movie, which I think is really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We found blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, because that's not really a big deal. I just want to get the gist of it as fast as I possibly can. So sure reddit, but I don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's, it's always gonna be a B-list for me. Like say I'm in that situation. Yeah. Uhm, I would honestly rather save for like two months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 30 bucks is a big deal. You're also much more interested in that type of stuff. So it's for other people, maybe the phone isn't as big of a deal. So they want to save the 30 bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can definitely see that. My dad has a $60 phone right now that runs Android.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually have to agree with Tom on this one because I used to see that happen. Yea, that's fine. It's just my show. You know, I just pay your salary. You can be your show and you can also be wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, remember that old thing, like, oh yeaah, do you know if you post on Facebook your social insurance number, it turns into pound signs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I haven't seen people fall for stuff like that in a really long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing that amazes me is that they think that removing magic of the is gonna get all the stigma away. Like, you're still gox. It still sounds almost identical to mount gox. This isn't gonna make everyone forget what happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, it's not enough and it's too much. It's not enough of a change and it's too much of a massive theft of money, essentially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sounds like, uh, what was it, the plot of office space? Is that the right movie that I'm thinking of?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And another thing comes in where, uh, resiliency can actually help a lot, especially when you're dealing with something like currency. Where being, if you see a currency that's insanely, uh, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's comforting and I could actually see people coming back to it no matter how much I do like the charitable nature of Dogecoin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've actually talked about this a lot on the show, the, the whole, the slowdown of massive stages of progression with smartphone. Yeah. And something that we've actually, we, we're, we're reviewing phones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, not all of them and a lot of the reviews are really late and like, we're not, we're not really super well known for reviewing phones. But one thing we're trying to do is be well known for reviewing wearables.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think to get to the level he was also talking about where it lasts for a week, you kinda need to do that. Cause you can get these extended bulky battery packs, and it's usually like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for those of you that are wondering, yes, it's smaller and yes, he could cut it, but he's worried about cutting it because of going upwards incompatibly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good point. My brother did something, talking about widgets with Nexus 7. My brother installed the Nexus 7, well, paid someone to install the Nexus 7 in his truck, because it didn't have tablet support or anything like that, and got it hooked up with, uh, I think it's called Microsoft Sync.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's going directly through Microsoft Sync. Okay. Although I think, uh, now that you bring up the automatic thing, I think he might be at usually using that for the gauges. Okay. Yeah. He's getting direct information from his, from his engine. So that might actually be how he's doing that. Um, I haven't been too in on that project. That's been a lot of just him. It's just really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have a thing. Try to do it under- Create one for me, apply, get the job, and then give me the trip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boom. By 2017. By 2017. Which is like, not far away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I wanna quickly do this one, won't take that long at all. Uh, CCP, the developers of EVE Online are gonna be constructing a monument in Reykjavik, Iceland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna have the names of all the main characters that are subscribed right now as far as I can tell. It is a gift to Reykjavik because they have hosted CCP for 16 years or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kinda cool and it's a cool shout out to the players. I think it's pretty awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm re-subbed so that my name will be on it, because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should do like a Kickstarter. So if we don't hit the limit, then we don't do it. And everyone gets their money back. Should we just do it? We should probably just do it. It'd be epic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I'm not committing now? We can use him as a mannequin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For cool tech that comes out. So like when another Oculus comes out, we could like put it on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was perfect. Okay. Anyways, we don't have much time. We should keep going through this show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fight time? Wait! Pokemon episodes are going on Netflix!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all I really have to say, Pokemon episodes going on Netflix. And movies and stuff. Okay, moving on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I totally did for the first season. You're really young. I haven't washed it up in the first season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now I might. I don't know. I'm stoked! I wanna see the first season again. Oh my god. I'm actually pretty excited. This might be the first time I ever actually get Netflix.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So examples of discontinued functionality is online play and matchmaking, leaderboards and tournament data, sharing of user generated content like ghost data and user created levels, user exchange of in-game items or characters like the global trade station, and free add-on content or downloads such as new levels, in-game items, or mystery gifts. Really, Nintendo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Complete devil's advocate, I don't agree with this side at all, but did you ever even actually do that? Yes. You actually did play online. Yea, absolutely. The mass majority of people don't. So what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could have even said they don't support it anymore, but this is a complete service discontinuation, like they're not allowing you to do those things because they're shutting it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, of course, this would happen at some point in time. I did not expect it to happen yet, especially looking at the track record of Nintendo, like how long they supported NES for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was always one of the big things that people held on a pedestal for Nintendo. If you were ever in an argument about Nintendo that was like, yeah, but they're an awesome company. Look at how long they supported NES for. Now it's going to be like, yeah, but they kind of ditched, like pretty hardcore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. The things that you can't spend money. It's not gonna happen. Free add-on content. No longer supported.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] User created levels, no longer supported. But you can buy things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so he- and he actually does legitimately use the touch screen on his ultrabook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's using touch and if you go to the met, uh, windows eight modern UI, I don't know Metro, whatever. Um, if you're using touch, it's, it's not that bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want high resolution screens on phones so that that technology can be cheaper and Oculus can get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. So like, I know people do it, it's just not a super high percentage, but then exactly what you said, it's not a super high percentage, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm like, I'm trying to play Kid Icarus. Yeah. I'm not trying to play Mario Kart. I guess I could have expected this. There is no reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It should be. Uhm, or maybe it's like that material thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think it's a lot better than a lot of people have been saying. Honestly, I think people have jumped into the game, played for like five seconds, like, this game sucks. It's not as hard as it used to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they didn't click on the custom difficulty button and click Classic Thief Custom Difficulty Options.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's like, when you go to create a new game, it's like, uh, thief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what is it? Rogue, thief, master, and custom. If you go to custom, there's a huge list of custom options you can do. Some which are insane. If you're detected at all, you just instantly fail. That's one of the options. So if you're worried about how difficult it is, you can make it insane beyond logical levels of difficulty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very easily, or you can just turn off all the new things and make it classic thief style difficulty very easily. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everyone's complaining about that, which is fixable, but not enough people are complaining about the audio, which is horribly, terribly broken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I would have it where it's like, oh my god, someone is talking right beside me and I'm a thief. I need to be not detected. And like someone is talking right beside me and I turn and look, no one's on this floor of the building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guy who's talking is downstairs in a different room. And like, the positional audio's like, hello!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, oh my god, and that's so off-putting when you're trying to sneak around and it feels like people are talking directly beside you the whole time. Like it feels like a guard that is in a different floor of the building is sitting right there, talking to me the whole time, and I'm just like trying to sneak and steal things. But, it doesn't make any sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever bought a gaming laptop? Nope neither have I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still don't know because, uh, you've seen the kit I haul around whenever we go places. If I'm going to use a laptop, I'm bringing my own mechanical keyboard and mouse. Right. So like, I need so much space that if I bought a gaming laptop, it's so much stuff to haul around because I would need, I need an external mouse. There's no way I can game to the trackpad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's very true. Uhm, and another thing, as I was trying to say, I've seen people do this, is where they don't haul around a keyboard and mouse, they haul around a controller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually sir, my name is Arthur. Hey Siri! You're Siri if I tell you to be Siri!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever. Linus Media Group! Linus Tech Tips! What did you want the shirt thing to be called?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we also have Microsoft Cortana voice controller coming along the way, which should be really interesting. And the Asus, uh, phone tablet desktop. Tablet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll be doing the same kind of thing that we did at PAX East again, so we'll do a mix of all the hardware stuff that I can find and a few gaming videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. So, let us know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, maybe the idea is that a Mac Pro released around that time wouldn't have to be an octopus, octopus of wires. Hold on. Hold that thought. Wireless octopus. You think, geek item? Just like randomly crawls around your desk and annoys your cat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the cabling is not that bad. No, the wiring is fine. It's fully routing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's a Windows laptop and an Android phone essentially that can just like slowly come together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if it makes sense financially, I could see myself doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if I wanted all these things, and for some reason had to refresh them all at the exact same time, which is weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it like made sense financially that I could see myself spending money on it if it's actually a good device. I think we'd have to use it first. And this is going to be something that I definitely want to see in the store if I was a random consumer because I'd want to like actually try clicking it in and make sure that the phone is not just going to like fall out of the back and other things like that that I would want to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that might sound surprising because I was pretty happy with the tablet, but that tablet was only 200 bucks in itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but then at the same time, uh, independent batteries is kind of nice. They do have independent batteries. Can the tablet charge the phone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. There's, wow, it's exactly 50-50. What the heck? Um, I, I put it in the doc so you can find it. It's right under this topic, but being able to run it independently is nice. Uh, that way, like if someone's over and you have your Chromecast set up to be able to stream things off your tablet, they can be looking at your tablet and you can still have usability of your phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other things like that would be nice. Uhm, if it's gonna be like $50 more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's make a lot of them and make really bad commercials to go along with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, none of that kind of stuff. It's just, it's just kind of a beat commercial.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it looks like no is actually winning now, but only by 2%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very annoying. Except, except for Netflix. You just have to subscribe per device that's streaming at that point in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh boy. Well, isn't Adobe Creative Cloud technically per person? Oh yea, that's per person for sure. But it's just not infinite amount of devices. It's like three or something. Two. Yea, two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't say anything. You can click in whatever you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it mean both of these as in the tablet dock and the phone or is he talking about this and the transformer 5?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Believe it or not, I'm not. Or are we gonna, nope, nope, we're gonna keep doing issues topics. Uh, why not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like having a phone which is like your public phone which you don't store anything super crazy on. Are you a drug dealer? And then having like a phone that you don't put a SIM card in. Do you often cheat on women?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No to both those questions. But seriously, you can have one that's set up for all your home automation and everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As of right now, I do think so. Because, well, glasses can be connected to the internet. If you connect your glass to that device, then you're just creating a hole.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I don't think connecting it to, cause it's not DVI. I'll tell you what. Tell you what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not the point though, because Kay, I can have it connected to my parents' house, I can have it connected to my house, I can have it connected to say, my significant other's house, and then whenever I go there, it can recognize me and I can change different things on the device, but then it's not connected to the internet, so I don't have to worry about those things leaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just posted it. You just keep looking away whenever I post it. There you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not true at all. You literally said that like last week. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you add it? Can you add to dictionary? I've never extensively used an iPhone, so I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually, I'm more interested in the Shazam integration than I think you are, because it would be nice, like, especially if you're driving. You don't want to touch your phone, you don't want to go open Shazam. And you don't want to be like, Siri, open Shazam, or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, you're probably right. Because you said they're adding Hello Siri kind of support, aren't they? Hey Siri. Hey Siri, yeah. So if you can do completely hands-less, like touch-less completely without any worrying, that would be kind of nice to be able to check songs and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been super, super interested in voice controlling devices for quite a while now, and I've been waiting for Cortana announcements and being able to listen to it more in depth and see them talk about it and all that kind of stuff, so I was super excited to see this. If you go to this website, either, I think both of them have it, but Engadget or VG247,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you can, you can listen to audio clips of her talking. Uh, it's, it's essentially the answer to Google Now and Siri for Windows Phone, and I think they're adding it to Xbox as well. But she should be able to have casual conversations with you as well, which is fairly interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's creepy, but not necessarily, because if she could- I'm old and afraid of technology, so it's kinda creepy, but go ahead. Okay. I don't think it's that creepy, but I guess I'm not, not as old as Linus is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's all in server, they're planning on adding things like jokes and all this kind of stuff as time goes on. Every two weeks I think they were saying. Yea, so things like it can go along with current events, so if you ask it about current events, it can have topical things to say about all that kind of stuff. So while you're completely right,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're kinda right at the same time, there's gonna be this disconnect. The conversations aren't gonna feel super natural, all that kinda stuff. I'm sure that's gonna happen. But this is the start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it could, like, I don't know, because I really, really like, uhm, okay, Google Now, what's up? Yeah. But it's horrible. It is so terrible, and it is not useful, and, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish I could do, I would do a live demo, but I don't. Uhm, it's, I'll go like, I'll have some emails and some text messages and whatever, and I'm like, okay Google, now what's up? And it's like, hello Luke! The time is 6.47pm! You have two emails, subject line, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, okay done, you have text messages from, done, okay bye. It's like, what, that was, what? Where's the interactivity?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't respond to anything. I don't, I don't need to know the time every single time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the, the longest part of her talking to me is her making sure that she takes time in between words, saying, hello, Luke, the time is blah, blah, blah. Then once she gets to her email, she blurts email and text messages. She blurts out things super fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't always read them correctly, uhm, like rifles through it, doesn't say who it's from, like I'll get text, it'll be like, you have a text message, body of the message.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't say who it's from, can't reply to it. I'm just like, what, I... What was I supposed to gain from that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god. Okay, anyways, but like, there are a lot of messages that aren't like that, that could be from anyone. Uhm, so I don't, it's annoying. And like, if someone sends me a text message, that's like, hey, are you on the way? This is the time where it would be amazingly helpful. My phone goes off, it says I have a text message. Okay, Google, now what's up? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah says, hey, are you on the way? Oh, respond. Yeah, I'm just driving. That would be amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, and I think with, uh, like Moto X, I think you can have it detect if you're driving, and if you're driving, I think it will do a little bit better than, okay, Google Now does. Right. But then, and then like, okay, Google Now isn't even on a massive amount of devices, so what,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You didn't read that part of this? The fan is basically off his rocker. So it's not a fan, this is a planted person. I have no idea. I have never met or talked to a single person ever that has thought Games for Windows Live was anything other than true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not alienate all of the people that trump for your platform so hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like there's, I know so many families where the mom and dad are just like, yeah, we should just get an iMac. And the kid's like, no, please no. And then they get a PC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, this is why your installer base is really large. Come on. One of the reasons. One, yeah, one of the reasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] PC gaming is just like, you guys keep on thinking we're going away, but no. We're just like massive now, so screw you guys. Which is awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're ridiculously huge. I was talking to someone who was fairly close to me that didn't know what League of Legends was and it reminded me of the discussion that we had in the garage way back a long time ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay. My wife knew what it was. And then I won. But then this was, yeah, this is the first person that I've ever met that didn't know what it was. Right. But it's like the first person I've ever met that is like outside of... Yeah. And okay, ever as in like the last few years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whenever I do it, they're like, Oh, what do you do? I was like, Oh, I make videos about like computer components and all this kind of stuff. And then I'm like, Oh, right. Uh, consumer electronics. It's like, Oh yeah. I'm like, yeah, there we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] iPhones! Yeah, well, sometimes. And beets! No. No. No. No, not that second one. Not beets. Unless we're talking about how Apple bought them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have defs just put it on top and you know that. I know you would.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see. We'll see. I have a feeling our videos would get many more views.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you not seen the, this is, this is actually, this is unrelated to Tasty PC, this is related to what you just said about watching videos with women in them. Have you not seen the like, Brazzers streamers on Twitch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, are you, are you kidding me right now? You can't even make that argument.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could this, could this become a breakaway?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So screw you and your stupid retweets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do that retweet thing where you retweet and say something at the same time and just say any color other than gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just like not gold. I can do something with it if it's not gold.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, there's not much to say, uhm, Microsoft announced that they were going to be- Whoa! Some cables got unplugged. Uh, Microsoft announced- We're failing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They announced that you should be able to use the Xbox One controller on your PC back in November, and it's finally coming, or is here already? It's here now. They're now available for download, so yea, and you can connect it to your computer simply with a micro USB cable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I completely agree. I thought, I thought, I thought you were against it. And that's why I was like, what the hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is it easier to plug and play a Linux installation and have it automatically work with network drivers than it is a Windows one? That should never be a thing. Ever. Never be a thing. FAIL! Every laptop that I've ever tried to install Linux on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfect. That's all I need is network drivers, because then I can move from there. That's fine. And then every single time that I've tried to install, not every single time, but a lot of times I try to install Windows on a laptop, especially if it's not the Windows that it came with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like their download server is just off. Honestly though, a lot of server maintenance happens overnight. So like it should, it should be, it should be off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing that scares me is like all the stuff that's going on with NSA and stuff right now. This is gonna very possibly create a big divide in between, uhm, civilian uprising potential and government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Uhm. I just didn't know about them catching a mistake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is super cool and freaking Elon Musk is just the coolest person on the planet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's the main, I put the main points of the video in here, is the, the new capsule can hold seven astronauts, uh, it has propulsion-based landing, so it can land on a landing pad, it can land pretty much anywhere, but. Someone says you can't thermal through trees, so there you go. That's interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Different castles, I like that. They're not, they're both the king of their own castles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much anywhere very easily. It uses propulsion based landing, like I said. So instead of having this crazy parachute, like they did before, where they just parachute out and then drift down into the water, it, it slows itself down as it's falling through, I think it's, I think it's four jets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then evens itself out and then lands with like these kind of spring loaded, not really spring loaded, but these feet that can compress.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's kind of hard to describe. Once you're done spamming there, I can try to jump you forward in the video, but essentially you, you walk in and it looks like super, super clean and super futuristic. Unlike a lot of space shows that you see that look like mega ghetto and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So once he gets in there, sweet. So very nice seats. I can't like, he doesn't talk about them at all, but like they actually look comfortable instead of the terrible things that are in before. And then yeah, okay. Go a little bit back because you got to see him swing down the monitoring setup. You can see it's up right now. He'll pull it down. So bad ass. Shwoop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then if you can actually see the control panels, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It actually looks like futuristic and badass. I know that doesn't really matter, but like, it looks really cool. Right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see all their monitoring panels and like all the stuff in the middle. He's got uh, spaceship control is that like joysticky thing kind of in the middle. And then most of those manual buttons are all emergency things. So you don't have to use the other displays and stuff. They're all emergency stuff. And yeah, I don't know. I thought this was super cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then how is that, that's very difficult to quantify. It's true. Because if, because Gaben could inspire more people, if it's not in the same way, it's not necessarily lower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was a pioneer. Yeah, and he's pushed forward for those like racing, that racing thing. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna go find it and vote just cause you said that. That's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry to spoil that one. Very cool concept though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright guys, it's up. I don't hear any audio. That could be a bad sign. Or it could be up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's weird. I don't hear anything because my computer is muted. Yea dog. Does that mean it's muted for them too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well now everything is awesome. Well we could sing it for an hour and a quarter because we're 15 minutes late. Sorry guys, we're here. So we've got a great show for you guys today. Steam has introduced broadcasting in a way that I actually think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] is much more organic and much closer to the more traditional, like, watching your buddy play video games kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More views than anyone from YouTube ever thought was possible. Linus Tech Tips Edition. Yeah, we've never done that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, we have very few videos that are anywhere near any kind of impressive view camp whatsoever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, the Intel Extreme Masters is going on in San Jose, so visit LinusTechTips.com for details about what Intel is going to be up to at this event. And finally, whoa, is that a new sponsor? Wow, have we done Loot Crate before?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seriously, like, every time I screw up a 5-4 integration and it's not that I'm doing it on purpose, trust me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so why don't we launch into our first topic for the day. Uh, this one's, this one's pretty much a complete stroke of genius. So I'm just gonna copy, copy the link here. I'm gonna see if I'm, oh, I am not logged into Twitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because for some reason, aww, don't you guys hate this? You know, okay, sorry, we're not gonna do a topic right now. We are gonna do a rant. And this happens on computers, it happens on phones. I know what you're saying. Yes, I am going there. WHY?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is text input ever, ever slower than my fingers? And I apologize to the headphone users because I'm pretty sure I just destroyed you all. Okay, I'm gonna have to move back for the rest of this topic because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't care. In the time that I've been using computers, they have increased in power exponentially, and yet, somehow, my fingers are still faster. You know what? Microsoft. Apple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Together, the keyboard input is the most important thing. Everything else, that stupid audio ad running on some website in a tab that I can't find is not as important as the keyboard input. It should never be slow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's what I've got to say about that. And it's working now. So I can log in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do what you gotta do. I shouldn't have to, like the Mac has been really bad. The worst I've ever seen. Like, I'll be typing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so the Mac actually will lose the middle of what I typed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if I type like 10 words, it'll go, can't keep up, oh I'm sorry, the end. And I have to fill back in the middle. And I have to wait around to fill back in the middle. It's driving me bananas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In this case, they're making it very clear. 60 FPS is the better option when possible. And I think in this way, they're doing a better job of maybe not putting PR spin on it quite as much as some other companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, are trying to by calling it more cinematic, but they're just being realistic and trying to address the issue from, from the perspective of like, what's actually going on? Why are we making these choices? And so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They basically say things like, you know, in lots of scenarios, framerate limiting can result in markedly smoother gameplay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have a point. They do have a point because some people find screen tearing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More objectionable than the, than the slight, well I shouldn't even call it slight, I hate it, but the latency that's associated with VSync, or versus, or the advantages associated with having, you know, 48 FPS versus being knocked all the way down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the display has to put the same frame up twice are terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You really, really feel that. So in a case where you were gonna run at 42 FPS,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're probably better off, from a smoothness standpoint, just running at 30, unless you've got something like G-Sync, which allows the display to refresh only as often as the graphics card outputs a new frame, uhm, in order to have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As far as I can tell. Sure. So there's stuff like, ehm, okay, and I disagree with the point that 30 FPS with motion blur results in a good consistent, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't agree that it's good at all. I think it's terrible. Artificial motion blur after the fact is awful because you have to think about how motion blur works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Motion blur is the difference between one frame and another one being kind of smeared so when you only know


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last frame, and you don't know the next frame, you can never do it correctly, because these images are coming at your eyes so fast, they have to be all blurred together in a way that is, that is realistic looking. So when there's motion blur, and you quickly pan back and forth, like say for example, you might do an, I don't know, any game ever,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, then it's a mess, isn't it? It just looks awful. Uh, but in FPS games where you might be looking around this corner, looking around that one, mind you, I'm going like this as if I'm holding a mouse and it's not like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in those cases, when you jerk like that, the motion blur effect is gonna, is gonna, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, it's gonna kinda bleed the wrong way, it's gonna predictively try to go that way, oh actually it went this way, oh crap, and then it's gonna adjust itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does do a good job as long as the motion on screen is predictable of making 30fps look a lot smoother. But the problem is that it's an interactive medium, not television. And if it's television, it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so there was one other thing in here that, uh, that I wanted to talk about. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Can't remember what it was. Alright, let's move on to the next thing then, shall we? Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the world's first underground park. It's definitely cool. Could be coming sometime in 2018. I just posted the link in the Twitch chat. Let's go ahead and screen share with Linus. One of these days, I'm gonna remember to wire up this connection because my wireless reception in this room is terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, or we could, we could install that router that I was testing, or that access point. Excuse me. Excuse me. Oh! Did I just call it a router? Wow. You did it to me yesterday too. Ouch. I know, I know. It's a bad, it's a consumer habit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's about two walls of one house. It kinda cuts it out diagonally, but there is actually a neighbor's entire house with wall insulation. Two walls worth in between the mailbox and that access point. And I was using a phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's really cool. So there are some technical challenges. They are gonna have a lot of work ahead of them. Uhm, this is all part of like that Lower East Side Transformation Project thing that's going on, but basically they're gonna have to figure out how to get natural light 20 feet down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, figure out what kind of plants they're gonna be able to grow there and they're converting what was an old, uh, an old trolley station into an underground park. Now-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're raising money, but they've already raised a fair chunk of it. And I think, okay, like there are some critics of the whole plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, on the surface it looks like, oh hey, we're taking a completely crowded area, and we're creating like a public space in it, which is great, it's underground, it's very efficient, but then, you know, we'll hold on a second, you know, what about when this is rented out for,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Private function this and event that. Are we actually creating any public space out of it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the private money that comes from events like that will keep it free because right now very little public money is actually being put into it, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people were talking about how that was a bad idea, and basically you're wrong. Why was that a bad idea? I don't remember. It was some ridiculous thing. But it's any more public Wi-Fi, even if it's not the most amazing thing ever, is better than no public Wi-Fi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Necroef says yeah, they're going for it. It was just being, I think it's been being used for storage since 1935. Woah. Yeah, like it's been just sitting there doing nothing. Apparently the I-beams look like they're in pretty good shape considering they've been there over a hundred years. I was reading up on a little bit of history. This thing was only in use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, like regularly for I think about 35 or 40 years. Wow. Something along those lines. I mean, huge investment building an underground station. And, uh, so at least they're gonna get some use out of it other than, other than, uh, whatever the thing that I just said. Storage. Storage. Thank you. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I actually sat down with NCIX today and so a lot of people express confusion about this on a very regular basis. Do I work at NCIX? Do I not work at NCIX? I do not work at NCIX. I am not an employee of NCIX. I am an independent,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Entity, I have my own company, but they do contract me to shoot videos for NCIX Tech Tips, the YouTube channel that I started.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keep going back there. But, uh, we sat down today to decide if we were gonna renew our, our deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, the original deal was two years, so I've actually been away from NCIX for almost two years now, and it looks like we are gonna renew for another year, so you can expect to keep seeing more of me over on NCIX Tech Tips. Okay! Well, it's not finalized yet, but that looks like how it's gonna go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, wow, how hard did I call this one? What one? Where? AT&T, the next topic down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll have two channels of audio, so those of you who want to listen to me, can just put in the one side. Those of you who want to listen to the other one, put in the other side. Anyone with speakers, you're who.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, Nick, to my, I've never heard him sing, but my understanding is he's actually really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going to blah blah blah. We're not going to invest in this unless we know what we're getting out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so they have since, uh, revised that statement because it's ridiculous. What, you're just gonna completely, like, whether it's, whether it's, whether it's managed the same way as phone lines where, you know, there's
