[Assistant] So I'm a firm believer, if you're gonna use something for long enough that you would have replaced it multiple times with commodity garbage in the time that you'd use it, then I consider that a solid investment. Because you also have to pay yourself for the time that it takes to go and buy a new chair,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's it for Wanshow. Thank you guys for tuning in. We will see you again next week. We are actually going to be discussing moving Wanshow to YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Maybe we should talk about it on the WAN Show next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well maybe do some pros and cons, we'll talk to the Twitch audience and see what they think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My name is Jason. I run a YouTube channel called Tech Deals and I do basically tech deals. I do tech reviews and the best deals and builds and all sorts of fun stuff. Just picture me as a much smaller, younger version of Linus like five years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because people like that stuff, because people want to know how like the new games play, uh, Far Cry 5 and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have got some early access videos over there. The May, uh, 2018 unboxing is already there with more than a dozen cool things unboxed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's some additional testing of VRAM, uh, requirements. There's a couple of behind the scenes videos that are exclusive to Float Plane. Just some, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting videos that you just won't see on YouTube, so cool stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That uh, the Galax uh, that Galax is the first time I've ever tested a Galax card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were, I mean, they had great earnings, but their desktop business is flat. It's their services business that's uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it looks like we're gonna be getting yet another iteration of 14 nanometer beyond coffee, like believe it or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When is the last time AMD had the chance of having a CPU with a smaller production process than Intel?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, pretty much. It's given them their huge advantage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we may actually see, uh, AMD pull ahead in performance then for a change, cause Ryzen's awesome, but it's still per core not quite as fast, but what if that changes by next year?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that was kinda true back in the Pentium 4 days when you had Athlon XP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $100. All I remember is that the Pentium 3s were good and then the Athlons came out and I skipped most of the Pentium 4s because frankly, yes you could get a Pentium 4 that was faster but it cost so much more money than an Athlon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But essentially they thought that their market clap would force everybody and you could buy an Athlon instead which used the cheaper DDR RAM and cheaper boards and yes Pentium was 10-20% faster, but you paid double, triple the money for 10-20% speed. It was silly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you consider Intel's Iotanium to be them trying to control 64-bit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they were trying to move the industry off of their traditional x86, which of course AMD had a license to and the idea was that they would have something that they could have exclusive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'll bet an awful lot of people today don't realize that the 64-bit technology we use today isn't Intel's, it's AMD's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It will be considering all the stuff that happened 15 years ago with Pentium 4 and Athlon if


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rise in three ends up being seven nanometers before Intel gets there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, he's, he's, he's, he was essentially played a key role or responsible for the good CPUs that AMD frankly has ever designed because I don't know if you ever played around with the old K6 and K5 chips back, way back in the 90s but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then the K7 was Athlon, and so basically he did Athlon, Athlon XP, all the way through until they switched over to Phenom and FX, which he wasn't involved with. And then he did Ryzen, so basically he's done every good CPU AMD's ever done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, early access, the goal is to give everybody a week early access to all the videos, uh, except for like key product launches, but everything will go up first on Floatplane and then on YouTube, but there'll be some behind the scenes, a couple of fun, uh, exclusive videos just for Floatplane supporters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] R-Rosa? Ponderosa. So this is- I saw these on the shelf, I thought it was tea. No! These are sunglasses!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's more what happened. I don't actually think I did that. No! No! I was looking when I was pouring the other one. Where's the lid? Did that get on you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm wearing hot pants. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are your pants. Woah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's only one of them. Thank you! I think they're working on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, nothing in Russia will be produced. I'm also starting to question


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not taking them off. Oh, you have to take them off. Man, I feel like J.C. Denton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My vision is augmented. Have you even played Deus Ex? This is sick. This is harsh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Can I at least just continually put them on? Like periodically throughout the show?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I can talk now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ah, reportedly Apple has cut down production of the iPhone 8 for November and December by a large margin. Cut down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cut. Got cut. Asked. And a Pixel 2 XL color issue that Linus may or may not have experienced? I actually want to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I read it. So it comes down to a feature that is enabled by default on some boards, but not enabled by default on others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason they've done that is so they can get higher efficiency, better battery life, higher efficiency CPUs overall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If people, as long as people know about it, that you're not losing out on that free performance, you still have it available to you if you want it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's reconcile with this feature, if you have them both on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I work there, if I'm an executive or a shareholder, this is awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all over, folks. Throw in the towel. Games suck from now on. This is a brutal direction for developers to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It alters the matchmaking process, so typically players are put into games together based on a wide variety of factors including skill level, internet latency, and your availability of friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This extra vector into the matchmaking process that basically tries to get you in the game with people who have bought stuff that you haven't bought yet so that psychologically you kinda see them using it and you wanna buy it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, we're old school. We used to just buy a game and have the whole game. Then expansion packs came out, and that was just bonus and awesome. Then it all went to shit, and now it's- Poo. DLC is just like, how you get the whole game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you should attach a time frame here. Cause if I'm playing WoW for like 6 years and I spend $300, whatever. But if this is a period of 6 months or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, while you set that up, I want to talk about another thing that this algorithm does that's uh, just even, just takes it to the next level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once you do make an in-game purchase, so they put you in a match with an expert sniper,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you were totally attracted to it, you ended up buying this sniper rifle. Once you made that purchase, they're then going to take...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a classic, Blood Gulch. They made that map four different times. It's in every game, every Halo game. Okay, anyway, they're gonna put you in into a map where you can-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically the thing that sucks about this is that you can tell from the language and the patent that this is not just going to be affecting in-game purchases like skins and aesthetic things. The language talks about weapons and that just means that the developers are going to have a monetary incentive to make it play to win. So to me this looks like this is the direction we're all going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When they first roll this out, you're gonna be on the team. You're gonna be on the same team as the guy with the awesome gun. But then they're gonna find out that it's actually more effective if you're on the opposite team and you just get lit up by this guy with the awesome gun and you're tired of getting so pwned that you go and buy the gun yourself. And then you get to the awesome feeling of wrecking noobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just sprinkle super advanced bots and that are just pimped out, swagged out. The guns are shooting hot pink bullets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, this leads us pretty squarely into another topic we have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes it does. Speaking of AI that's just so killer, it can wreck you every time. Remember AlphaGo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The deep neural net that managed to swamp all the world's top alpha or top go players in the last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so AlphaGo, the first artificial intelligence to defeat a grandmaster at the game Go, just got a major upgrade. In a tournament that pitted AI versus AI, the regular AlphaGo got completely, completely wrecked 100 games to 0 by the new version of AlphaGo called AlphaGo 0.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the thing that's cool about this is the original AlphaGo had a training data set of thousands of previously played Go games, played by humans that were amateurs or professionals at Go. This is a completely unsupervised like reinforcement learning algorithm that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It gets even crazier. It did this, not only is it better, it's not even that they just like threw more computing power at it, it's way more efficient. The original AlphaGo master had 48 TPUs or tensor processing units. This one, four. Four TPUs. That's an order of magnitude more efficient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll smash you with banshees every time. You're getting stuck from across the map. No scope headshots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is really worrying considering like the bright side of this would be to assume that all these people who aren't buying the 8's are just waiting to buy the 10. But. But they probably won't even be able to buy the 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're so dope, you look like a superhero. The full coverage up here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heavens to Betsy. You can say heavens to Betsy. Are you sure?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A koozie person. You don't say cozy, you say koozie. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I watched it as a child and then watched it for way longer than I would have because my friend was super into it. He didn't know it was fake. Really? No, I'm just joking. Of course you know it's fake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kinda like, uh, it's kinda slapsticky, slapstick comp, there's a couple LOL moments watching you live actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of the big superstars that I know of were there, of course, cause they're all retired now, like Stone Cold's not gonna show up. So it was all like no names to me. So, I felt more like I was at like one of those Mexican wrestling events, just cause they're all no names and they're doing stupid stuff. And one guy actually had a Mexican, uh, wrestling mask on, so, that contributed to the feel. Family fun, and, uh, pretty, pretty entertainings. How much was it? 20 bucks, that's why it went!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a chance. It was great in the, like, I get to hang out and like have dinner and spend the evening with my childhood friend who I only get to see like every quarter. Kinda way. And it was only 20 bucks. It was 50 bucks? Wouldn't have done it. Not, not a chance. Sorry childhood friend. You're worth 20 bucks. I'd hang out with him without- But not 50 bucks. I just wouldn't have went to that with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yea, sweet. Best part was the, uh, the voice announcer guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that, the ability to like grab the microphone and, you know, like the let's get ready to rumble kind of guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else we got here? Like, what's interesting? Did you know that Google's first system-on-a-chip, designed in-house, is in the Pixel 2 that you've been using all week? No, you didn't know, because they just announced it now. Really? There's a chip in there that you don't know about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's laying dormant until they activate it over the coming months. So right now it's used just to process HDR plus stuff way faster. Faster than you've experienced it. It hasn't been activated yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's not all. They're actually gonna use it for more applications than just that. They haven't told us what. But we'll see more image and machine learning enhancements being added to the Pixel 2 over the coming months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's super interesting to me that they didn't announce this at their Made by Google Hardware event. I guess they didn't have it ready in time but they still ship devices with it. They didn't have the software implementation ready in time so they just laid low until now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now when they say current implementation there, do you think they mean what your pixel can currently do before this is turned on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that there's gonna- third party ha- apps will have the ability to, uh, handle HDR.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, listen, oh that's, it is nice, I like doing that. Listen up, keep your ears peeled, if you can peel an ear, for this whimsical voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I was just talking to A' about an upcoming build guide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Ryzen 5 best bang for your buck build bide. Cool. I just want an extra B in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, beginner's mind is when you're like, because you don't know all the minutiae, you kinda don't take things at face value and question stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, this is actually the next topic is total full circle for us because it's a kind of part two of a topic that you and I discussed a couple of weeks ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what we had discussed was that Senator Al Franken submitted like a letter, a bunch of questions to Apple about their Face ID technology and now Apple has responded and has answers direct to his questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of them I put in bold because you didn't know how the heck Apple did this and now we get to know. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's just a bunch of bullet points. I don't want to say Al Franken's questions because his question will become obvious when you just hear the answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Face ID data, including mathematical representations of your face, is encrypted and only available to the secure enclave. This data never leaves the device. It is not sent to Apple, nor is it included in device backups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can never surrender it to the authorities. The FBI can't ask for it because Apple just never has it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause they said they used billions of images and Linus was asking, well where the heck did they get these billions of images? And it turns out they actually just took them themselves. It's not, they haven't said that they've taken photos of a billion different people. That seems silly. They probably took thousands of photos of hundreds of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they took multiple pictures with multiple different types of sensing technology, including IR, and presumably at like 360 views. So there you go!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is some serious underbust throwing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This basically just comes down to stability then. Until, just did this for stability?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that, uh, Andrew Wu here kind of backpedals at the end where he says, uh, you know, it's not that big of a deal anyway because people who bought, uh, Z270 just 10 months ago when it came out, they're probably not likely to be the type of consumer who's going to upgrade anyway. It's people with older systems who are going to upgrade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a job for... Laser James! Haha! They laughed at me! They're still laughing at you. That's why I'm here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, if they felt bad about it, they would've done like the bare minimum, like, just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Almost that cost. Like eating it. If they had no margin on the mobo's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's not what he's saying. He's saying that people who are just ready to upgrade who didn't upgrade to Z270


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, can upgrade now, but they're gonna have to do that at a great expense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New straw pool. New straw pool. How much would you pay for Lance's car?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what my favorite part about this whole thing is? Brandon hates smartphone camera commentary. He hates when people talk about it. He hates when there's videos about the iPhone camera. He hates it! Now he has to do it! To clarify.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Haha, I got the end of the show on an even... Worse of a joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, famous people play video games. That's a thing that happens. Uh, that's probably all we really need to say about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same time, if you don't want the entire world to be taken over, maybe consider not buying


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excited. We have great topics this week. Uh, HDMI 2.1 is here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's actually really cool. Every single time a display cable gets updated, I'm just excited. It's a good thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's good. Everything just gets better. Also, China is using DJI drones to spy on the US. Rumor, allegedly. Well, um, allegedly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's off. He's going around the table. He's grabbed the lever. Twisting the knob. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The knob's broken off. He's having some issues. He might have to go get a wrench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something K now. Has to be a maximum of three characters or else you've lost them. That's right. Four, that's probably pushing it, that's why swear words usually cap at four, you can't go beyond there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That we're gonna see TVs like this. Slow down. Anytime you see a clip, there's one that's really high on Reddit right now, anytime you see a clip of Horizon Zero Dawn that's in ultra wide, it's like oof, oof. That's probably how that game's supposed to be played. TVs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, someone in the Twitch chat informed me of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it is masking. Meh. But like it would, it would, it would look a lot better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, every time that I even think about maybe looking into a TV, which I don't, I haven't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never technically bought a TV, uhm, so I mean like if someone asks me or whatever else, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I end up just being like, I wish I could just buy a ginormous monitor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause like, not only do I not want the stuff that's on the TV. Right, so you don't want the smart TV and the tuner. It makes it worse. It's not like, oh, that's not a benefit. It's like, no, I really, really wish that wasn't there. I would pay the same price, just please take it off. Right. It's so annoying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, properly using that term every single one. Literally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a few I haven't been able to get. I'm not collecting that many. To be very clear, I have like four. But there's some that I've wanted that I can't get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were technically on HDMI, but I think we passed on and we were in between things and we were maybe doing DJI, should we do flowplay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shortly after, however, DJI released a local data mode which allows users to cut off drones from all internet activity. Which...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no clue. Especially in terms of reporting, like, camera and telemetry data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That should be like when you have to, what, you have to register your drone or something now, right? So that should be like when you register your drone, they like get a key or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kay, it's actually so funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't even- One of Taran's scenes in this is so golden. They're like, you know the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally. I hope, I hope top comment on this thread I haven't looked yet is Nvidia shills. We'll see though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's kind of a show back to like when YouTube used to be prank tube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hilarious! As an external person who had nothing to do with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you have to consider that while he's being an ass to his wife, who's also an employee of the company that we all work at, he's also everyone's boss. It's a really weird dynamic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having nothing to do with it, it is hilarious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, there's certain points in time where I was like, ooh, this is, ooh, this is getting bad. There you go. There you go, guys. Go sign up for Flow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it should still offend you. Okay, hit me. Reasons why it should still offend you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right off the top, every single technique, ability, fighter, stat roll, all of it is inqua- is entirely acquired and upgraded through a loot box system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Wait, so you can't actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pressing the square button, apparently we're going for PlayStation here, pressing a square button to throw a punch at an opponent, the simplest and most obvious mechanic in an MMA game, will do more damage if players have paid money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In an online PvP game, it will do more damage if players have paid money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Microtransactions are also the only means of acquiring perks and boosts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perks are powerful abilities that can be equipped for a small number of fights before expiring, and boosts are temporary enhancements that offer endurance boosts and durability bonuses, meaning you can fight longer, you can take less damage, and you can hit harder, which is literally the entire game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what the interesting thing is, when we rolled out the Keep On Diggin' shirt, that was because of Ubisoft. I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ubisoft is not doing everything right, right now. Yeaah. There's some extremely valid complaints to be made about certain games of theirs, like For Honor. Uh, but they also launched, uh, the South Park game. The South Park game was very fun. It's quite a long game, lots of content in it. I haven't heard many people complaining about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the negative reviews that I've seen on Steam, because there's quite a few of them, are people going, why the heck do I need you play? That's not a new problem, that's a consistent, that's been around for a long time. It is a dumb problem, but it has existed for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fairly recently. It's nothing like Stick of Truth, right? It's extremely similar to Stick of Truth. Oh, cool. I'll go play. It's like basically the same game. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's just a different story. Yeah, I'll just go play. Like, like the overworld is essentially identical. Well, yeah, I mean, so. Yeah, but like even.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said it has a completely different combat system. Uh, I don't even remember the previous one, but yea, it's not, it's not like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not at all. And like, this is, this ties in with, there's battlefront issues going on right now. While that's going on, they somehow thought it was okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To throw out beta keys for this game with this already implemented and this being the style. They take the microtransactions out of Battlefront 2 and then what? Just assume that everyone's gonna be super okay with UFC? Like, oh, different target audience. They're not even gonna bring it up. I don't think that's gonna be a thing. What is mo-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on. Oh man. Yes mom? Oh boy. Hi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said them 16 minutes ago! Okay, this is not fair. I will, I-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's way too small. But up in this corner, and I'm sure if you go to their website, uhm, which is probably on screen. Yep. Marsaiinc.com. It shows that there's like a processor and stuff going on within the cable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting how like a type of content is specifically better. That actually makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why don't we have it showing the top secret? It's the wrong way around. Cause it's a secret, ya donk. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my card was totally broken. So we're in the chat. Wow, CGI has come a long way. Oh, you dicks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Windows 10 is bringing tabs to every, woo! Microsoft is bringing tabs to every Windows 10 app.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The spice flipped that around on me. Nona Hexa was just posted this on the forum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Microsoft is planning to add tabs like the ones in your web browser to apps in Windows, uh, 10, allowing you to group apps together. They're calling this feature Sets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So say you're working on a Word document and you need to research data on the web or grab notes from PowerPoint, you can create sets or tabs of these tasks in a single window. Honestly, I think this is actually pretty sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really like this, because often times I'll have a few different things that are for one thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, my preferred method is just to have more monitor space so I can have it all open at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could have your set icon down there. So you could like click on it and then it would bring up the multiple things instead of having it all in one. Cause often times I want to copy between them and read one thing while I'm typing one thing and having it all in a set actually isn't very conducive to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 8.1 is getting painful because I think it's like less than 10% of people are using it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Websites use your CPU to mine cryptocurrency even when you close your browser. That's new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We talked about the Pirate Bay. Yep, and another one. I don't remember who it was, but and another one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is new. It's, it's always, it's always been kind of a short term thing because it's only lasted, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Dude, message me today, it's like the third, or a few days ago, it's like the third year anniversary of the like Windows 9 thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, NCX actually sounds really cool. This was an idea. This never happened. That he was pitching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that I was thinking that five year thing, it's actually like seven or something or eight or something. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some context there, we broke off at what, 240,000 subscribers? Something like that, yeaah. We're now at 4.8 million?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess so. It's like learning that before Coke came out, it was green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if you're in like a social hub. Sheesh. Like somewhere like, like LA or San Fran.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you just like, go through a few hundred people and you're just like, meh. There's many more. You know what I mean? I don't know. Cause I don't feel like it's like that up here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. So I like super need some. Okay, this also isn't the first time that Nintendo has tried to do cereal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought it was kind of interesting because right now they're huge because the Switch is like wildly, wildly successful. But at a previous time of them being huge, they also tried to roll out cereal. And this one is not just, uh, cereal. The box itself is essentially an amiibo. You tap the box on your Switch and you get stuff in game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have a Mac and you're watching the show, you should maybe look it up on your own. It's not in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm pretty sure if someone literally just attempts to sign in as username root with no password, they just have all the stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Yeah, I'm not entirely sure on all the details, it's not in the dock, but if you have a Mac, look into it, because it's a big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, Facebook to open a new AI lab in Montreal. Uuuh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Noctua is releasing CPU coolers. For rising. Which like is good but like, meh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a seat relationship. That's a reference that no one will get, unless they were in this office, in this section of the office, before the show went live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, I guess I'll, like, lightly talk about a topic, cause I'm not entirely sure what's going on even. Uh, electric cars and cheap solar could halt fossil fuel growth by 2020. Uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool. Honestly, there's not a ton else to say about that. I have no idea where Linus went. It says by 2035, electric vehicles could make up 35% of the road transport market. Over 66% by 2050.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is a report on the Guardian. I don't think I can even show you this right now. Let me see. Here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is why, like, sometimes I have a hard time coming up with video ideas. And I think it's because, like, my brain never goes to that space where it's like, yea, I'll just, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My personal rig, which is coming soon, because it's done now. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I spent like 160 dollars on amethyst crystals, and I felt like super bad. I was like, that's a lot of money for a mod.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should piss people off by calling it a drive, because it looks like a drive when you access it. One one petabyte drive. It's a network drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't push that that much in the video. Before the video, John and I spent like weeks talking about how the amethyst crystals were like going to heal us and bring more positive energy into the benchmarking environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then we, yeaah, I decided not to push that way too much in the video, just cause I thought it would get boring, and there were so many crazy things that happened, that I was like, I'm just gonna focus on the crazy building things. Uh, should I say some of the stuff?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told me not to do it. And then while we were sitting there talking about something else, I just decided to do it anyways. Uh, but spoiler alert, I started from the top. Just in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm like, whatever, I'm gonna try it. So I start ripping from the top, and he's like, yo, if you just take them off the bottom, then you can keep it looking aesthetically nice at the top. So then I had to try to figure out how to like, reattach it. Reattach fins to a heater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watch that adventure. Yeah, so this is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like half an hour in, I run into this problem. Two hours later, this cooler that doesn't miss, that doesn't fit by like, entire fin length, then some heat pipe collision was happening too, I get it to fit, uh, I'm gonna leave out how I get the heat pipes to fit. If it fits, Luke sits man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my goodness, brutal. Uhm, but yeaah, I got the, I got the CP cooler to work. You put that heat pipe back in there? Yeaah, I did. I did, it was close, but like, you just, you gotta work it, and then after a little while of just like, repeated, like, you just don't wanna push too far, cause then you might rupture the heat pipes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's actually, did you know heat pipes have like liquid in them? Yeah. That travels up and then like goes back down. Not necessarily liquid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go that way for a little while, and then I have to figure out how to put all these freaking, cause in my mind I was just like, yeah, it's a great case, I'll make it look like a geode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also emailed Rod. Yes. And you know what's funny about this? I emailed Rod like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I'm gonna guess off the top of my head was three months ago. Yeah. And he suggested exactly how it should have gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I completely forgot, and then ended up figuring it out through trial and error, and then doing exactly what he had told me. If I just listened to him from the start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything would have been fine. Rod from BS Mods knows best, man. He saw part of a channel super fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Word for word, exactly how the, where the LEDs should go, even. So that it looks better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the first time that they learned from the Galaxy Note 7 issues and then made changes as a result?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love how the TVOC test literally just says additional testing to ensure battery integrity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It halt fossil fuel growth? Sorta. Sorta? But it's very uninteresting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, I'm like rather certain that's actually what it is, by the way. The TVOC thing. Oh, really? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe, yeaah. I'm not in- I'm not 100% certain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And it could be like a good looking thing that makes the scent, instead of like a hidden scent thing that a lot of stores use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure they call it something other than that. Yeah, probably. Uhm, it is being, like weed is being legalized in a lot of states.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I can't even. I seriously doubt it. I can't even. But it could be them, no no no, but it could be them patent trolling a little bit. Here's an idea, let's patent it. If someone wants to use it, they're gonna have to pay us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe. That's my, that's as far as I'm willing to reach in that direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but Jobs was pretty down with the drugs. Or was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know man. That doesn't make any sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, okay, so, moving on. To the most interesting topic we have today. The most interesting topic. More interesting than all those drives. The Gartner Summits Data Summit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For what? You're gonna end up using it in some weird video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really feel like I would have any major ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would feel like if someone was telecommuting in, I feel like the hardware and software to support that is extremely subpar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have anything else to say there. I've given presentations too. Back when I was in school, I had to like, present to... yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much everyone will start talking. They'll start talking. Even then, I bet you it was a mass survey of a whole bunch of questions and you had to rate it on a scale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then people went, public speaking, that's a zero. I hate doing that. And then it was like death and they were like, hmmm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not afraid of anything. I'm gonna put a three because I am satisfied with my life. Buh buh buh buh buh buh buh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like Ted would have someone else- We're finding pain points. Unless you're doing a TEDx, the independent ones, then maybe you bring your own, depending on the size, some of them are done in like basements and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, and then it terminates in some other connection on the other end, right? Yeah. USB-A? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you're like a baller business dude and you're like, I want the best presentation remote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every, like, if you're on like a product, I'm not gonna be able to relate to a ton of people right now, but if you're on like a product conference call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you noticed like the quality is often terrible?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm, no. And like, I don't think that it's the mics. Hmm. I don't necessarily think it's the webcams, but the webcams are often terrible too, and like the screen sharing software is often garbage. I've had pretty good experiences. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Logitech makes this stuff, so they probably use their own really high-end things and they're probably great. I'm talking like, when it's not companies that make presentation things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had a lot of WebEx ones that were just sorta terrible. It could be the like way it's set up or something. Connecting to them seems really clunky too. I dunno man, you'd think this kinda stuff would be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just like, the thing that drives me crazy is you hear about these like, remember we met that dude? I have to be super vague here. He was the engineer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was making the crazy stuff that we weren't allowed to talk about it. And he wasn't allowed to talk about it too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. I was gonna try to leave the airport out, just to even try to make it more vague. But that's as far as I'm gonna go there. Like, they're making crazy stuff. And some of this stuff already exists. I've been into conference rooms where I'm like, wow, the hardware you guys have to broadcast to people that aren't in this room is amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I get on some of these calls and we're just like, it sounds like crap, it looks like crap. What's going on? This can't be the hardware that's in these rooms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I explained this in the intro of my personal rig video. It has taken so long to get my personal rig video done that I decided on the first day that I started working on it, actually, that I wasn't gonna shave or get a haircut until I was done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really bad. So like, it's r- it's- it goes pretty far down, which is rough. I get this stupid bald patch thingy here, which is rough. But it's not actually bald. Someone mentioned before that it might have like, something wrong- it's some weird disease thing. No, there's hair there, it's just thinner. Uhm, and then like, all of this? Like if- if I flare it out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that legitimately goes to like here on my hand. That's awful. It's, yeah. Okay, so don't look like Luke. What I was gonna add is every single time that we do a Dollar Shave Club ad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, but the thing is when they're not doing advertisements for us, I am clean shaven. So it's kind of like them being like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Start shaving. That's the difficult part. Finish shaving. You know when they deliver to your door, the only remaining difficult part is starting to shave. Starting to shave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to convince them to change their slogan to It Just Works. To It Just Works? Squarespace. It Just Works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hi Shane. Friend Shane literally does that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the fact. Someone like, okay, this is a legit story, I might screw up one or two small parts of it, but like, the general framing of the story is legit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buddy Shane, person comes up to them, has spent tons of money on a web designer, wasn't going well, he's like, here, here, gimme your, gimme your credit card, da da da da da, get some on Squarespace, which one do you like, that one, click, da da da da da, fill in your stuff, da da da da da, okay, you're done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all you needed. Everything's fine. They spent like a lot of money on a web designer. And then they were way more happy with their- this is like an actual- I'm leaving some details out because I don't know the exact amount of money. Right. I don't know how long they were struggling with it. I don't- there's like a- it's a much more interesting story when you know all the details, but like that did happen. Something along those lines did happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, have you seen that dude who bends a pin every day or whatever? On what? He has an older AMD processor, do not remember which one it is. I guess it literally has to be older, because there aren't any other ones right now. Uhm, and he bends a pin on it, I think every single day that they don't announce the release date of Ryzen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well no, like, he started, I think, since CES. So like, he's been going- Like, just this CES?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As far as I could tell, when looking at it, it was pretty much a done deal. I thought, one of, like, there was a few areas where you could see damage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I thought one of them in particular, I literally thought the pin was missing. So I was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but yea, I think for this video to carry weight, it has to be a motherboard that will work when you're done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you have to go from like, look, everything's in, it doesn't turn on properly, take it out, look how terrible it is, fix, boot it back up, this works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, he's fixed a lot of crazy sockets before. It's working though. It is working. It is completely working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Start with Steam, you can stream games over a network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's like, if you have it installed on another computer, there's the stream button. What if you did it over the same computer using Unraid?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that could be done. I can't think of a good reason to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda wanna do that. Windows 10 is really annoying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, I sorta hate it. There was even a post on PCMR today, I think it hit the top, where the guy has like all notification settings and all advertisement and everything turned off everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Cortana, even though disabled, comes in the corners like, Hey, have you figured out your Super Bowl snacks yet? Like, piss off!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually really hate using that operating system, and I would love to use Windows 7, but then we have topics like this where it's like, oh, yay, new hardware supports it, instead of like, of course, new hardware supports it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He uses 8.1 and suggests it to everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's, okay, to be fair with the who cares, like it's really stupid that it doesn't have that support, but it's not better, yet, at least, so don't worry about it, it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the Nintendo Online service will cost less than $30 a year apparently. That's very reasonable. But, unlike PlayStation Network, PSN, and like other things, your monthly like random little game that you get, uh, you don't get to keep it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you essentially get like a random game for a month and then it's gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you didn't care at all about the games that you would get included, I'm not going to say for free, included with the other services, then this is better because it's cheaper. But then I think a lot of the value proposition of this is going to be figured out when they actually roll it out because they're new to the kind of party. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And their online services have been absolute trash. So now that they're charging for it, they better step their game up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then this is hard to even define as a living room console. There's been a lot of talk about that. It's, it's basically a hybrid. And like, honestly? Wow. Using it in handheld mode is amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like handheld mode and tabletop mode were the main interesting things. Honestly, when I was using the like TV mode experience, it was good, but it was just good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The handheld mode was awesome, it felt like the best version of a DS, just because the screen is huge. And like, if you take the controllers off, it's actually pretty easy to pack somewhere. Uhm, certain games, like if you get Zelda, certain editions of Zelda, like the special editions and stuff, come with a sleeve, so you can take your Switch with you. Like, they're very much approaching it from a mobile standard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you want to talk about the 58GB HD texture pack for Fallout 4 really quick? Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so basically what I just said, 58GB HD texture pack for Fallout 4. That's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, your PC will need to meet or exceed the recommended specs to run this pack. The recommended specs that they're talking about is Windows 7, 8, or 10, an Intel Core i7-5820K or better, a GTX 1080 8GB or better, and 8GB of RAM or better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's WAN Show time again. We have got a great show for you guys today, and I'll tell you what, if it is not a great show, you have someone altogether new to blame for it. And how fun is that? Oh yeah! James did the WAN Show doc today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Wow. Well, I mean, I guess that's a, uh, I guess that's sort of a positive for Vertig here. I mean, if they're gonna sponsor the LAN show, and their chair's not gonna be on the LAN show where it's supposed to be, it should be at your desk because you took it because you like it, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today. Everything from not liking the WAN show and blaming at James underscore gravity, if you hate it, to PewDiePie being dropped by Disney after anti-semitic stunt,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Samsung Air arrested as part of South Korea's government scandal. I mean at least they still have scandals there. We wouldn't know if we had a scandal over here. We wouldn't be able to tell the difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I won't say anything about rise in specs and pricing, but I will say that I'm gonna be out of office next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay, so, uh, wait. That's it, now I roll the intro, right? Yes. You think it'll work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it feel like the art of jingles has kind of been lost? Yes, it's gone. And it's sad, it makes me sad. Like, from when I was a kid, and even like today, because many of these companies still haven't changed their jingles, but like, it's that cheesy AM radio sounding music recording.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I can't think of a single jingle that stands out to me today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can tell it's old. Oh yea. Like it's bad. It feels old. Yea, but I'm just trying to think if there's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything. You know, maybe we have McDonald's to blame for this because they used to have great jingles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but, okay, so McDonald's is probably the most iconic jingle in my memory. Was, uh, have you had your break today? Okay. That's, like, that's old enough that you would have been, like, three. Uhm, and then after that, it just- We didn't watch TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's awful. And then, and then they were just like, no, we're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're too trendy and cool. Oh wow, he brought you water. Thank you very much. iHeartWan, whose cup is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, see, okay, we got, see, I don't remember KFC ever having finger-licking good as a, as a jingle though. Like, that's a slogan. That's a, yeah, those are different. That's not the same as a jingle. Slogans are still around. Yeah, it's gotta be, uh, yeah, yeah, the Folgers won! The best part waking up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This Folger- Okay, I got it slightly wrong. I was going sleep country, Ken. Cause the bestest part of waking up is Folgers in your cup. Something along those lines, I think. Yeah, yeah. Ah, man. I'm just angry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so do we have any actual tech topics today that have anything to do with any- Do you sweat when you take like a big chug- chug of water? Like, immediately start sweating?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, PewDiePie, speaking of getting killed, got his deal with Disney killed after an anti-semitic stunt. You know what's really funny?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought that people were upset about statements that went against, like, the true meaning of words. I thought it was anti-semantic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I thought it was like people being upset about like, you know, getting all anal-retentive about the meanings of things. I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uuuh. That makes sense. Oh, because, so, so when it's to do with Judaism and Jewish people, it's Semitic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got it. Yeah, well, I figured that part out. I figured the link out later, but I would have thought it would be like, like anti-Jewitic or something. Like, like, cause I didn't know the term Semite. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So anyway, so the point is, uh, this was sort of an uncool thing that went down, and this is a stock image of PewDiePie looking really not that concerned about it because it's a stock image. Uhm, but the original article here is from globalnews.ca of all things. But basically what happened,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Disney said, he crossed the line with some of his videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, he's been, it's unclear whether the subscriber bleeds here are corrections or whether, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I know YouTube has done- Oh wait. Oh no, yo, those are not corrections. Okay. So yes, he has bled some subscribers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uhm. Well, Scare PewDiePie was cancelled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so we should explain, this was the incident that kind of, uhm, snowballed into what it's become now. So, and again, taken within the appropriate context, uhm, and I agree with his statement that he clearly went too far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, cause there isn't a lot of like, great context in which you can take something like this. But basically, PewDiePie used, I think it was Fiverr. I don't know if you're familiar with Fiverr. It's a service where you can pay five dollars for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To hold up a sign that said, death to all Jews.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this created a lot of problems because those guys who had, who issued an apology video afterwards saying we...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We didn't know what the sign said. Like, English is not a real strong point for us. We, we had no idea. Uh, those guys were getting attacked online for people thinking that they were extremists until sort of the truth started to come out and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For five bucks, uh, you're not gonna be able to have your legal department check with your comms department and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess. To the wrong people. Yeah. So, uh, you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean do we, do we just have to kind of straw pull this because, I uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I wanna know from you guys, do you think this was an overreaction? Sorry? Nah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want, I want real answers. Do you guys think it was an overreaction in the context of what he was doing? Or do you think that there's- For what though?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For, I think, people's- What statement? What action? Okay, so getting dropped. Okay. And people attacking him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, fair enough. Well, I just want to know in general, do people think that the reaction to what he did is an overreaction, or do you think it's appropriate? Because I-I'll say for myself,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no place on a Linus Media Group channel for an image that contains those sentiments. I can't think of any context where I would consider that appropriate to upload.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it looks like most of our audience thinks this is overall an overreaction to what was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my mind, clearly meant to be an illustration of a point, even if I personally don't think it's in good taste.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, what about PewDiePie was in good taste? I mean, that's the real question here, from not just, not people calling him a racist, but from Maker and Disney dropping him, from that perspective, is like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the imaginary line that he suddenly crossed here? I mean, he was already foul-mouthed, completely inappropriate, and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, maybe though, they were already toying with this idea and this is an opportunity to separate the brands. Maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I want nothing to do with that. When people, when my channel icon, when my trademark is sitting next to a video, I don't want that image in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, uh, I'm sure they're out there too. Yeah. I mean, uh, we had, uh, what's their face, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The porn, the porn site. Was it, was it Pornhub or was it-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the one that wanted to sponsor us. Pornhub. To do like, uh, more dildo racing videos and stuff. Pornhub. Okay, it was Pornhub.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I cut that off and it's not like- and to be clear, I don't have like a strong moral objection to people watching porn or anything like that. It's just not helpful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone worries about that. I mean, one of the most precious things you have as a company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe the most precious thing you have in many cases is your brand. Is that that icon or that slogan or that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In any kind of negative light is something that brands will fight really hard against and we're talking trivial stuff. Like if you have too many pixels of white border


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or not enough, usually. Not enough pixels of border around a logo. Or if you throw a drop shadow on somebody's font that they put their tagline in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll, you'll get like, so, so working at NCIX, okay, so we would put together campaigns for tech companies and so we would take their assets and we would combine them into like things with, you know, our product page and our product photos and all that and then we would put it up on the site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there are brands that would straight up because they're, okay, so there's the profit margin that a retailer makes. So let's say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They buy this cup at a dollar, and they're expected to sell it at, you know, a dollar fifty, or whatever the case may be. Uhm, so there's that margin, but then there's also marketing funds, so usually called MDF. So for each glass we sell, we might also get 20 cents of kickback at the end of the quarter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in exchange, because it's not just for selling the glass, because if it was that simple they would just sell it to us at 80 cents in the first place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, that kickback is for being a supportive partner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you have to put together a list of all the things you did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To support the sales of this product and the propagation of this brand message to your customers. So inclusion in things like email newsletters, uhm, landing pages, banners on the top of the site, uh, NCIX tech tips videos for example, all that kind of stuff. You put together this report that says we did this, this, this, this, this, this, and this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cut us that check for that extra kickback that we qualify for. And if you screw it up!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you put the brand in the wrong context, in the wrong spot on the page, or, or next to Pornhub's logo, they're just not gonna cut the check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, yes, but back when I was like, actually, you know, a suit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never watched it. And wasn't there an ad on that video? Or did we put no integrations? I have, I'm not, I'm not sure what, I, ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, I don't think we put an integration on it. I'm gonna check. Okay, you check the Hydra porn video. Speaking of which, I think that has like a million views now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, like, we have that on our channel. Look at these guys. Yeah. I-I-I since- No, it's a six minute video. There's no way it's, uh-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're wearing the, oh, you're wearing the Highlander shirt. So you've got an Asus, an Intel, and, wasn't it someone else too for Highlander? Corsair. Corsair. Asus, Intel, and Corsair have their logo all over how to hide your porn that 1.3 million people say, man,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, like, polishing the- That's disgusting. Okay, here, here, here. Uh, oh, you know what? No, I don't have that- I actually don't have yours plugged in right now. I'm sorry. It's okay. Oh, man. Integration? Integration?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you guys haven't, I don't think there's an integration on it. No, no adspot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, here we go, where's the- No integration. That's just awful. Where's the, uh, where's the sausage?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There it is, there it is. So this is, that's just a sneak peek at the kind of visuals that there were in this video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, either you pitched it to me or we were just casually talking and I was like, yeah, I've always kind of wanted to do this. I don't remember. But I remember after you figured out that it was somewhere in the back of my mind that maybe it was an acceptable idea. You were like, let's do it! Let's do it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's, maybe it's just like a uhm, it's like a double edged sword, right? Like on the one hand, my family has no idea what I do, but on the other hand, they have no idea what I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you know it's it's really funny like I remember as a kid like this is gonna be a huge note for one


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that our generation and our parents generation, your dad probably to a lesser extent than either of my parents and your mom. But there is gonna be such a difference in the- Oh, cause he's like tech savvy, yea. Yea, in the degree of tech savviness between the generations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, like, I'm looking at what's going on going, I'm a little bit out of touch. Like, I don't snap. Uhm. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, I'm not necessarily up on, you know, I've never played, you know, what's that mobile game that everyone plays with like armies? Clash of Clans? Clash of Clans. Or whatever else. So I've never installed Clash of Clans on a mobile device.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's certain things, yes. There's certain things that my generation is gonna be behind on by the time my son is 11 and getting curious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, so, so I'm a little bit out of touch, but I'm also savvy enough to understand, like, like my parents didn't understand that you could delete the history from a browser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's really different. Whereas like, my kids are gonna have to be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] VPNing, realizing that I know what VPN traffic, encrypted traffic looks like, like there's a whole other sort of game that is gonna go on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't tooled around with enough networking stuff to consider myself even a beginner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You understood what I meant. Which makes you old too. Yeaah, that's fair. I still read physical books. But like, honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this coming generation goes full circle and has like, nudie printouts. Magazines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I would probably find it in the shed, I mean, that's where I keep my- But seriously. Uhm. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although there were some tips that we gave that were very good. So the dedicated viewing device, where you keep everything contained, you keep it off the network, uh, you refuel it when you're on a connection that is outside of anywhere where an admin would be able to watch you. So there are certain tips that we gave in the how to hide it video that could defeat me. But the dedicated device,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I seriously, I don't know what kind of parent I'm gonna be about a lot of things. Like I'm super strict about some stuff. And then other stuff, like I'm pretty chill, so I don't, I don't really know. But like, I don't, I don't, it's, it's amazing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you can guess what kind of a parent you're gonna be, but like I never would have, so okay, so I would have known.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I speak pretty frankly. Yes. Like, I'm not gonna shy away from the word penis. No. At all. And, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But on the flip side, it's like, I don't want... I don't... You know what? No, maybe, maybe I will. I'll probably just go for it. I'll probably just, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I'll probably just go for it. I'll be like, okay. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somehow I managed to bypass sexual education in both, I think it's grade 5 or grade 6, when it comes up the first time, and then I think grade 10 when it comes up the second time. Mine was grade 7. For some reason, so I changed schools in grade 6, and then- Oh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it had already been done at the, yup, and then uhm, in high school I don't know what happened exactly, but I never got sexual education. I mean, it's a miracle I know what to do with it at all. Maybe I don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't seem to be that difficult to kinda piece it together. So, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna have to tackle it when I get to it though, cause like, I would have known that I'm the kind of parent who's never gonna let his kids win at anything. Like, people were upset that I didn't let my son win at cribbage, cause like, I should just be impressed that he's playing crib and he's four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can count his own 15s and runs and pairs and three of a kind and all that stuff, like, really impressive. He has a little trouble remembering when he has a flush or nibs, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's doing real well, uhm, but I'm not gonna let him win. And people were like, upset on Twitter. And like, I crushed him at risk and posted a picture of that on Twitter. And people were like, uuuh, and I'm like, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beating me at badminton needs to be a real trophy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, because I will be officially supplanted as the man of the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, it's, it's like half over. Okay. Uh, this show is brought to you by Dollar Shave Club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dollar Shave Club, where when you're a man, but you're not supplanted yet, you can shave your face and look younger, just like Luke did the last couple weeks, which was actually, you know, I- I used to like baby face Luke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now I think Babyface Luke is, uh, we'll throw that baby out with the bathwater. Yeah, yeah, it's done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's done, it's done. Rugged Luke works a lot better for Luke. And for Linus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neckbeard is not even a like, you should do it to be like, haha, I'm doing something uncool, like socks and sandals. Neckbeard is like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, so Samsung Air arrested as part of South Korea's government scandal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dun, dun, duuuun. So the original article here is from cbc.ca. J.Y. Lee is a suspect in influence peddling scandal that led to the impeachment of the South Korean president. They have got a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going on over there, though it surprises me that it even made the news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shares in Samsung fell 1.3%. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Shares in Samsung C&T Corp. fell 2.8%. Did I say 1 point something else? You said 1.3. Well, good for me. I, I, you know what? That's it. I quit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rise in specs and prices leaked. Again. Again. I think it's been three or four weeks in a row? Yeah, something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, oh, hold on, I don't think- wait, did we have- what? Oh, I don't think we had quad and six cores last time. So this one is just as official, but there's more of it. So you can tell how totally leaked and not being carefully doled out by AMD this information is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean it's interesting, so quad core 3.2 to 3.5 gigahertz with overclocking, apparently all Ryzen CPUs will support overclocking, is 130 bucks. It could be a very good time to be a value consumer again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shouldn't call it hyperthreading. Turbo threat? I don't know what they call it. This is going to get really confusing really fast. My life has been really easy for the last four years because all I have to care about is like the Intel TM names for things because no one cares about AMD's equivalent. So there's hyperthreading and there's GPU boost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has been so long since anyone even asked. And we'll have to do like RAM stuff? Can you remember the last time anybody asked us to benchmark a new video card on an AMD platform?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah? You know what, I'm down to do more work though. As long as it's something that's exciting. Yes, no I'm totally down. And bringing the fun, and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exploration back into a new CPU launch is, is like, getting really exciting for me. What I have to say though, is I'm falling into the trap again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AMD has done this to me a lot of times, where it has looked really promising. I'm not falling into the trap. And then they have crapped on me. I'm getting excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm excited for the marketplace looking really different six months from now. And I hope that they pull through because this will be the last time!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I will get my hopes up, which I have said before. Unless it works. Then there will be one more time. Then there will be one more time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buzzfeed and Facebook try to break readers out of their social media bubbles. The original article is from Bloomberg. Let's go ahead and pull it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why does it say end Facebook? Yeah, that doesn't make any sense. So Buzzfeed tries to break... So the publisher will expose audience to opinions from across the web.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, okay, news outlets seek out other viewpoints after the surprise election.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the idea then is to get readers to understand or at least be exposed to viewpoints of people who don't think like they do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And click on what looks like probably a promoted story. Although, what I will say is this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone out there is clicking on promoted stories and believing stuff that is obviously nonsense. Someone is doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or else it wouldn't be down there, and those articles might sound slightly more credible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's really funny though is I have probably done a longer rant than that about the worst subway sandwich anyone ever made for me. I'm pretty sure you've heard it. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I-I'm gonna tell the Subway sandwich friend. This was... Bar... Also, hold up, before you go. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, so, this was, okay, so there was a period where, I don't remember when this was, it must have been about 10 years ago, uh, maybe like 10, 11 years ago, so that would make it what, like 2015? Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when was the like, anyway, whatever. It was, it was a period where jobs were like, coming back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was fairly obvious that at entry level positions, they were having a very hard time. At least here in Vancouver, filling them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every clothing store had help wanted signs for like sales representatives, every restaurant had help wanted signs in the windows for like cashiers and waiters and waitresses and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I walked into a subway, and this must have been the worst subway employee that I have ever encountered in my entire life. I said, okay, I would like a foot long sub on this kind of bread, and we got that far okay. And then I had my tuna on it, and I said, could I have two layers of tomato? And the guy picks up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two slices of tomato, and puts them on either end of the sandwich, either end of a foot long, looks at me expectantly. And I go, no no, two layers. And so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this, this was the part where my hand almost made it all the way through my forehead to the back of my skull. He picks up the tomato on the one end, puts it on top of the one at the other end,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally straight face, like I'm pretty sure he wasn't messing with me. Was he hot? And looks at me expectantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the shift supervisor kind of scurries over and goes, I'll take it from here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grabs a thing of tomatoes and puts it across the rest of the sandwich and finishes making my sandwich. Meanwhile, I can barely even think about what I want to put on it. I can't believe what I just witnessed. And you might go, look Linus, like that's racist yo. He probably didn't understand English or something. But I don't buy it. I said two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he managed to get two pieces of tomato. And I said, layers, and he managed to put one on top of the other. So he understood two, and he understood layers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would anybody want either of those configurations? Impossible. And I think that's much worse than the bagel being cut in half the wrong way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing. Okay, well, we'll figure that out later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On Facebook, Luz is in court. He tried to sue TV companies that picked up the video, but it was protected under fair use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where basically the court said that where pictures or videotapes themselves are the focus of a major news story, news reporters may make brief use of selected footage to explain to the public what the story is about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is really interesting. Original article from The Verge, YouTube to kill unskippable 30 second ads next year. But!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was pretty good. That was pretty good. Yeah, I was doing my best there. But don't celebrate just yet. Uhm, there will still be shorter unskippable ads. So, there you go. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is interesting. Bill Gates figures that robots that take your job should pay taxes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this is actually, wow, initially I kinda went, well that's super dumb, I'm disappointed, you were such a smart guy before, but this is potentially the solution


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the, uhm. They'd have to pay an ordered amount of taxes. To what I said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last, was it last week? Where I was saying that companies that replace workers are going to have to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if it's Microsoft, it's going to be probably per-core license.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or something along those lines, like they will probably, the government will probably have to redefine what constitutes a person replacement. Yeah, because like that has happened a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. So, I mean, they'll probably have to work out some kind of a system based on the current unemployment rate and much like property taxes, the way that they change from year to year depending on how the real estate market is performing, uhm, I suspect they could come up with some kind of an index


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kinda goes, okay, you have this proportion of the actual employment that's actually out there, you have automated X amount, this is how much you owe to make up the difference for all the people that clearly don't have jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, yeaah, I mean it's an interesting point because this...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's also just the fact that the government, for people not being working, is giving up that income tax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So not only are there gonna be more people to support, like, this is a problem we actually have to solve. And like, I had people making arguments to me like, n-no, this just frees up people to like, do better stuff, and... Like what? No one wants to talk about this, but like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If that were true, if losing your job driving a coal truck was going to turn you into a best-selling novelist or something, or even a crappy novelist,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if that were how this works, if people were just going to make money from people giving them money by doing something creative or becoming a professor or whatever the case may be, then we would have already seen that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We wouldn't have the situation that we're in right now in the states with people who just want their jobs back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who have potentially been out of work for many years at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still not having work. It's just not how it works, unfortunately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, very, very soon. And I mean, there's another factor here. Electric cars do not need nearly the same degree of maintenance that internal combustion engine cars do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so all of a sudden, car maintenance is gonna go from oil changes, and transmission fluid, and to hot swapping batteries, motors, and you'll need to replace your tires, and tires basically. Because even light bulbs are gonna be LED.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very interesting, and uhm, you know, it's just, it's one of those things where, like, my-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, of course they can, of course they can call you down, or call you out. Yeah, of course anyone can call me out. I'm sort of a, I'm sort of a big target. Uhm, of course they can break down, but that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about the regular maintenance that I have to do like every two months on my car. Not a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Star Wars The Last Jedi is officially plural. Uh, we can tell because when it was translated to Spanish, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so. It's only playing in like, three theaters in the Lower Mainland at this point. Like, if you haven't seen it in the theater by now, you're probably not seeing it in the theater. I like, barely made it, and I, uh, honestly, I-I'm-I apologized for taking my wife to it afterward. And I have to go see Fifty Shades Darker as penance now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because- She wants to see that? That was not a good movie. She wants to see that. She's- she is- I'm a little disappointed. She is otherwise, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, she acknowledges that it isn't good. She knows it's bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I have never seen the first one, like have you? No. Like do you know how bad it is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I've never read the books. I've never seen the original movie. Anyway, the point is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I now, thanks to Rogue One, have to go see a Trashy Moon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and so am I, and I'm almost as sorry for myself that I had to see Rogue One. Because there were, there were some good moments, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So spoiler alert, there were some good moments, but there was some incredibly immersion and flow-breaking stuff in that movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, what was immersion breaking? Okay, so here's- Let's start there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, the score was terrible. I couldn't believe how bad the musical score was for a Star Wars movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why did they change something about the iconic Star Wars tune right now just then? Why? There was no reason to change that. And the opening music, like right when it opens, is bad. There's no opening text scroll, but like I'm not gonna get, I'm not gonna get too sort of upset about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here, here is one of the biggest, okay, so, so a couple times it was just really bad writing and bad acting. So the delivery of the inspirational motivational speech to the rebel command.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clearly chosen for looking like Mon Mothma. Not chosen for any kind of acting skills whatsoever. Uhm. She's really good at being sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, she's good at being sad. Jin is very good at being sad. Yeah, I'm not going to criticize Jin too hard other than that speech. Her like, her scene with like the hologram thing was like really good. Yep, that was good. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another, another sort of, sort of brutal criticism, another really flow-breaking thing for me, I understand it's not David Prowse in the suit. I get it, but he should still probably try to kinda move like Darth Vader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of moving like a guy on the sidewalk in Las Vegas who bought a good Darth Vader costume. Like, there is a demeanor to Darth Vader. He strides purposefully, he doesn't walk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was just like, I do not buy this character at all as a dark, imposing, threatening guy. The force choke scene just about had me cringing my face off. Okay, the line?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not intimidating! Yeah. He's just like, cash, like... BTW, my hand is like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's terrible. It's terrible. The body language of Darth Vader is way off, and then I'm gonna get into the part that's worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now all action movies are guilty of this to an extent. There'll be a scene where someone has to defuse the bomb, and you see the countdown timer, and it's like 12 seconds left, and it's like ticking down, like 3 seconds ticked down in this shot, and then it like cuts away to other stuff happening, and clearly like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A minute has passed by the time we get there and there's still a second left. Or there will be a situation where like, someone has to, someone has to jump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The trains are pulling apart, they've been detached, and someone has to, has to jump, and clearly they're already far too far apart for the, then the next shot is like, now like this, and they like keep doing it, where they're like, they're moving apart, oh no, really, they're moving apart this time, and then finally they make the jump, and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, this is not complicated math, how long it takes them to separate. We're like 30 meters apart by the time they jump, they hit the tracks, they die.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All action movies do it to an extent, and it's flow-breaking for me every time, but Rogue One had one of the most egregious examples of this. It's been a while since I've seen it, I know. That I have ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they arrive at the planet, or moon, or whatever it is. I don't care, because I'm never re-watching this movie. They arrive there, and the shield's open, and they're just like, Woah, let's go for it, we gotta help them, they're on the surface, this is important. And they get like, four X-Wing fighters through the hole, before the Imperials manage to seal it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's another sort of space movies issue that I have in general here, and that's the whole, our shields are at 60%. Meanwhile, there's like gigantic chunks of the spaceship being blown off by, like, torpedo blasts and stuff. I'm like, are your shields up or not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay, so anyway, while the shield is open, like 4x wings get through. So it could be like 60% of the shield is still intact. Okay, I've had enough of you. So 4x wings get through, maybe it's 5, whatever. The point is, not a lot. Then, for the next 10 minutes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm to believe that this one shuttle worth of commandos, which look to be about twenty people, maybe thirty people, and these four x-wings,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of which, every single one of which, you watch get blown up, like, three times, over the course of the next ten minutes, like, if you go back and watch it and count, how many people are, like, they're fighting AT-AT walkers down there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm to believe that they're in a pitched battle for all this time with no reinforcements. There are actually rebel fighters under the shield that are not X-Wings engaging with an entire squadron of TIE fighters before the shield opens again. They're not even trying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not even trying to make it somewhat believable. I'm not asking for it to like, be perfect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, okay, so the return of the Jedi space battle, equally guilty of this. You watch the entire rebel fleet jump into hyperspace, it's like 15 ships.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, at least try. And then, finally, the robot. Quite like the robot character. Is it cliche to have kind of the sassy, you know, robot or whatever? Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are they deploying stormtroopers to fight anything? I mean, the guys like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they had anything that badass, where was it in New Hope, Empire, and Return of the Jedi? I mean... So, there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so thank you for watching the WAN Show. We will see you again next week. Same bat time, same bat channel. Bye guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there pictures of this thing? Uhm, Elon Musk, electric, semi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, chill. Okay. So this is my glasses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And on that, uh, on that note, the show has now started. Welcome to the WEN show. Oh, this is awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he pokes his head out the door as I'm recording the pre-show starting bit deal and thinks that I'm live and goes back away and then I message him right afterwards when I was done. I'm like, oh, hey, I'm ready for you now. It takes him like eight minutes to see it. Now he comes out. I'm actually live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Brandon, I just wanted you to have a look at the, uh, color temperature of this light. It looks off. It's been on for quite some time. Is it adjustable?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, there's like voodoo magic that goes on around here. Adjustable color temperatures of lights. He's actually kickstarted some legitimately color changing lights that are gonna be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you can adjust the white point, you can adjust the color point. I'm clearly just stalling for time while I wait for this, uh, dock to load up on my screen here. But that's okay, cause it's here now. We've got a lot of great topics for you guys today. Luke's gonna be joining me on the show very, very shortly. He's actually just finishing up a video right behind me there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, he's there. See, trust me, it is the actual, the actual Luke. Do I look better now? I'm like really bright now. But that's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's fine. Don't worry about it, Brandon. It's all good. So we got a lot of great stuff for you guys today. AMD's Ryzen? Did I say it right this time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Verizon has been detailed. It's gonna be octa-core, 2.4 gigahertz, dynamic overclocking. We will talk more about that for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazon's first prime air delivery has taken place. Microsoft is bringing Cortana to fridges, toasters, thermostats, and space marine suits near you, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crytek is sinking. Wages unpaid. Talent leaving. Will there be another crisis?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, but not with a Y. So let's go ahead and roll the intro, which has no audio. Long story, couldn't get it working. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only audio in the left channel? How does that work? How do these things change?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on a second. Wait, what? How? How? How is this even possible? How is anything that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't know. Go try that. Go let me know. Why is life hard?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of life being hard, uhm, Squarespace makes it so that your life is not so hard. If, that is to say, if your life is making a website on Squarespace. Also, I fix it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, again, maybe doesn't make your life easier, but does make your life cheaper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which maybe came across wrong, but uh, you, you save money. So there you go, you save money on your repairs. So it's, it's like it's harder to do it yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we're not cancelling Wen, so I'm back, I'm back. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Non-existent human figures, his or her left ear is now more used than his or her right ear. You know what? I, I take no responsibility for any of that. Brendan, I think it looks fine now. Thank you very much for your hard work. Uhm, except for that bounce card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay. Thank you very much. Yes, you may retrieve the bounce card. You know...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had a deal when we moved into this warehouse The deal was that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would get his very own corner of this 6,000 square foot space that I acquired. And if I allocated him that corner, I wouldn't have to deal with all of his crap all over the place. That was the deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That covenant, that covenant, Brandon, has been broken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, okay, the only reason he doesn't have his spot is because it has taken him over a year


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get the set built in it. He had a budget from before we moved in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, also, oh, I have some other things that we just couldn't get done. News for you guys. This one's really exciting and closely related to the audio issues that we had, uh, shortly before the show started here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, focus right. I don't know if you're familiar with them, but they make, uhm, we actually have one of their doodabs here. And the only reason we're not using it is because we've had issues with our compressor and the microphone that we've had hooked up to it. Anyway.
