[Assistant] Okay, now the problem with the U3 for me, it all comes back down to freaking micro USB 3.0. It is THE worst connector on earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what's funny is a lot of people will run around and defend it. They'll say, oh well, you know what, it's actually rated for X number of insertions. I DON'T CARE how many insertions it's rated for. That is meaningless. You know how many-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know how many manufacturers ever implemented micro USB 3 on a phone? One. You know how many times they did it? Once. Because that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And none of them. It's like, it's slightly non-standard. The contacts are slightly longer. So none of them were deep enough to penetrate...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, great topics for today, you guys. Uh, Apple's event was this week. They announced a whack-ton of stuff. It baffles me that WatchOS and Watch got so much stage time. But Linus! 97% positive feedback rating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so we'll talk about that more later. Also, speaking of 97% positive feedback, AMD launched their Fury Nano to mixed reviews. What else we got this week?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is Ice Age a straight ripoff of Lion King?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got your silly meerkat. Okay? You got your, you got your big cat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you've got, uh, uh, a bird. Well the squirrel flies around a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Zazu actually doesn't fly much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are all these intros in here? There should just be one intro. There.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There it is. No, I'm gonna delete the rest of them. I'm gonna do it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yup, I am actually, I am using this Wanshow airtime to make future Wanshow airtime better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, my, because my, I was on my way out the door and my wife's like, are you gonna be home on time? And I'm like, yeah, as long as WAN Show goes okay. And she's like, okay, so you won't be home on time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a great show for you today, guys. Uh, we're not gonna kick off right with the Big Apple event. We're gonna jump into... Do we not have a forum?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, nerds. That's weird. Alright, so Android Authority is gonna be our source for- I'm gonna move this mouse over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so Google officially rolling out Android Pay starting today with an update that you can grab the APK and get it going right now. So this is their official competitor for Apple Pay. I love the way that they really thought


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, they didn't want people to get confused, you know, AP, AP, when we're like, yeaah, I'm just gonna pay via AP, with my like, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, wireless contacts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, that's, that's, that's, that's normal. So, for our American friends, uhm, it's really funny, I was, I was-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So on their menu, they've got like their soft drinks and their, and their sides, you know, like your french fries and they have freedom fries, excuse me. And then they've got, they've got, they've got your, they've got your burgers. And then they have a small part called salad and other, which includes the veggie burger. And I'm just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people were giving me crap about this on Twitter, they're like, well, uh, it says other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, alright, so it's a gradual rollout starting today. It's not available to all of the US yet. And the Android Pay application is to fully replace the Google Wallet app.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you require pay services, 8.1.13, and it's available for anyone running a KitKat 4.4 device or later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, while not all banks in the US will be supporting it yet, there are some major ones on board, including some credit unions, and they are expecting more and more to come on board over time. Now, this is something that I bring up in my OnePlus 2 review that is going to be coming out very soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You must have an NFC enabled smartphone. The OnePlus 2 does not support NFC. Which is really baffling to me, uh, because not only is now Android Pay gonna be requiring NFC, I mean, what Android smartphone, other than the very lowest of the lowest tier of the low,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The NFC Transfer Wizard. So all you have to do is take your two phones, put them together, and go enter your passwords one by one by one for all your accounts. Boom. You're transferred. Pretty much all you have to do is change your icons on your desktop to be in the ideal positions. It's fantastic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the other thing, the other thing credit cards and cards suck for in general is loyalty programs and rewards. Uhm, like, I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't wait to have Apple Pay and Android Pay in Canada for that reason alone. Like my stupid local grocery store, Nestor's Market, ever even heard of it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, well, yeah. Okay, you're local. Whatever. Most of you- But like, I hadn't. It's like, rinky-dank and stupid, and many grocery stores save on foods. Still does this. Don't even allow you to just give them your phone number. You actually have to carry the stupid card. You can have an app on your phone now. Yes, you can have an app on your phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's move on to the R9 Nano. This was originally posted on the forum by Zmule. Are you posting this in the chat? Sure. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have it all ready or do you want me to do it? I don't. You don't? I can grab it though, just do the thing. You can grab it? Yep. You sure?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just grab it under the table, I don't think they allow that sort of thing on Twitch. Ah, so let's go ahead and fire up the ol', wow, I've got two mice in front of me, which always trips me the crap out. So I'll fire up the PC per review done by our buddy over there, Ryan Shrout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this card, this card has generated about as much controversy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As any that I can think of over the past little while. Uhm, is our, is our video up on Vessel yet? Vessel, yea. It's up on Vessel, okay. So, why don't you, why don't you summarize your impressions and then we'll, we'll kinda talk about what the rest of the internet thought and whether they agreed with you or not and go from there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's no real way to win there, because this is something that I, that I actually pointed out to, uh, either Brandon when he was doing B-roll, or John when Brandon was doing B-roll, but what I was saying was, the r9, uh, theory nano is actually, what, about a half an inch or three quarters of an inch shorter than our 970 mini.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that, that AMD is really positioning this card against as the, as the equivalent small form factor card. And my comment was, well hold on a second, because depending on the case configuration, these two could actually end up being the same


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the Nvidia card could even end up being a little bit better, because like you were saying, the Nano plugs in on the end, and you have to factor in that additional space taken up by the PCI Express power connector, whereas in Asus's implementation of a mini 970, has it coming out of the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And whether this is better or worse for you is ultimately just gonna come down to the case that you're putting it in. And to me, that really is the center.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was it actually made for? Did AMD run out and make a card that no one was asking for and no one needed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if you look at the way that MiniITX case design has gone over the last, uh, I'd say over the last about two to three years with, uh, with things like the end case coming out, uhm, things like, uh, that's, that steam machine prototype that Valve was sending out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're all designed for a full fat 10 and a half inch Nvidia graphics card. Like they're all just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I get it. But here's the other side of that. Is the motherboard is only, you know, six inches wide or whatever. And the graphics card was ten and a half inches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we were using that other space. That's where we're putting our drives. Uh, that's where some, sometimes we're putting our power supply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, while the R9 Fury Nano, in my mind, is a product that has no place today, what I like about it is that the Fury Nano is the perfect card for the case that I want to exist. The Linus Edition case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. So, the one that I want is a case, and I pitched this to Cooler Master, and I give Nate a hard time every time I see him that they've never made it, but I wanted something that really was about the size of, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think, why don't we just, why don't we hear from, why don't we hear from you guys here? I'm gonna create a straw poll. I wanna know. R9 theory, nano. Failure, success, cool in theory, but not interested, and of course, turn in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, and I really, I'd like you guys to, I'd like you guys to answer pretty honestly here. I really want to hear from you because this is one of those products where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AMD is trying to sell it not based on FPS per dollar, which is all they've really chased for a long time now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're trying to sell it based on a less tangible value proposition, like, hey, we made something with great power consumption, okay, yea, it might thermal throttle a little bit if you install it in a super tiny case, but quite frankly, what wouldn't? Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, before we go ahead and jump into the results of that straw poll, I have another one to share with you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want to hate on the engineer, I mean, I was, I was like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right on board when Nvidia was launching cards like the GTX 590 and cramming two 580s essentially in six inches each. I mean, if you really think about it, that's what AMD has done here. They've done the engineering work for a dual GPU card. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kind of hope so, because it looks like that's pretty much what they've done, but, uh, you know, you have to respect the engineering that goes into something like that. So, does it trip you out that we're wearing the same shirt? 35% of you say yes, 21% of you say no, and 44% of you have thrown away your vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know what's really funny about the whole vote for turnip thing? Is those shirts started shipping right around the time that Donald Trump started really making headlines?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And every time I see a vote for turnip shirt when someone tweets it at me or whatever, it really does feel like mocking Trump's presidential campaign. Does it not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then I forgot to order mine this time, and I actually sent Teespring after the campaign was over, like, hey!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so it's kind of my campaign, can I still get one? And they actually sent me not one, but three. Mediums.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, so I'm giving one to Austin when he shows up tomorrow. Makes sense. And, uh, and then I don't know what to do with the other one. Maybe we'll, next time we have a meetup or something, I'll bring it along. Okay. Or maybe I won't. Oh yeah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So without, without teasing too much, Austin and I are gonna be working on a collab video tomorrow that's gonna be kind of a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think I lack the hand-eye coordination to play the middle one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So is, is it that AMD fans are interested? Or is it that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, I think that's like, like, reporting data, blah blah blah. Oh wow. Okay, well still. It's like a real thing. Still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, back when I was doing it, uhm, generally speaking, we tried to keep it


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, and not, not balanced like in terms of, of market share, proportional market share, but we tried to keep it pretty balanced in that we tried to offer


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An AMD or an Nvidia graphics based system at each sort of tier. I'm not sure how they do it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What can I say without saying too much? What I'll say is that Nvidia really has their crap together marketing-wise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if there was someone that we were gonna collaborate with on like a special edition painted green PC and we wanted to cross promote and coordinate a marketing campaign with,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I did specifically say discrete graphics. I could make the argument that I'm running Intel graphics on this laptop, but come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on! We need Nicky V. Yea, we need Nicky V over here to tell you guys what's up with- No we don't! We do not eat Nicky V! Come on!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could we live without 4% of our audience? I think we could.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I mean, you guys can correct me, you guys can correct me if I'm wrong, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would it be totally unfair for me to say that among the sort of the higher tier tech enthusiast community, so I'm not just talking the typical


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kind of thing. I mean, that's the kind of show you're tuned into. Deal with it. Uhm, but would it be safe to say that amongst that crowd, there would be more people making a graphics card decision based on something like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well gee, I'd sure like AMD to survive. Would I be willing to give up 5% FPS, or would I be willing to give up GameStream, or CUDA, or whatever Nvidia feature might sway you? Would I be willing to give that up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And support AMD to try and get them through the hard times. Cause it's hard times over there guys. Like the word on the street is upwards of 20% of their company was just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, bought. Uhm, so they got a cash infusion out of it, but they no longer own fabs. They no longer own, like, a freaking whack-ton of their company stock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, they just spun off the graphics division as Radeon graphics business unit or something along those lines with, uh, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very few of those people are still there. I hope you know that. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also, back in my fanboy days, you know what's funny? I have a lot of people accuse me of being a fanboy. I had fanboy days. I had fanboy days. I did. I am no longer a fanboy. Because- I was an ATI.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am so jaded now that everything that comes across my desk


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was the most that I ever spent of my own hard-earned money. And I worked hard for that money. I painted houses. Okay? That was the most of my hard-earned money that I have ever spent on a single computer component.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because yeaah. I went to NCIX Burnaby. Well first, I called up my sales guy, Mr. Xenon. I called him up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Representing NCIX, Burnaby, OG. Called up Xenon, I said, Xenon, do you have stock of the 4400 plus? He goes, yeah, but why would you want that? That's so expensive. He's a good sales guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was looking out for my interest, okay? I'm like, Xenon man, you don't understand. This is a dual core. It's an Athlon 64, but TWO OF THEM!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is not some hyper-threading nonsense! This is like, two CPU cores, man!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's like, okay, I'll put it aside for you. I drove right down there. I picked that sucker up. Got myself a new motherboard. Man, that felt good. And it was great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was not about the fact that it was made by AMD, it was about the fact that it was an amazing piece of technology. So even in my AMD fan days, when I was rocking the All in Wonder 9600 Pro, which I upgraded to an X800 Pro, which I upgraded to an X850 XT, I was a little bit of a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a little bit of a, uh, uh, uh, an upgrade every generation sort of guy back then. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, my first computer, I actually bought one component at Attic Computers, the hard drive, and I had to make a tough choice for myself. I either was gonna get the 120 gig drive with the 2 meg cache,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think I had like, like a 900 megabyte D driver, like something obscene, like I had less than, I had less than one and a half gigs of overall storage. I was running a P90. Okay? Like it was sad. Or like a 133, whatever. It was like, it was some, it was some sadness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just to put that in the proper perspective, I was running a Pentium 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the ti- at a time when I was my first computer that I built for myself, I bought a 2500 plus Barton core. Okay, so like, that was some outdated stuff. I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, where was I going with this? Right, so I walked out the door with the 120 gig drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I went, no, 80 gigs is enough. I want the extra cash. I walked back in with the sealed drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those bastards charged me a 15% restocking fee. On a sealed product! You did it too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did it. I wanted the cash. I wanted the cash. I wanted the cash. And I paid the cash to get the cash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I probably have pictures of my box nook. Okay, so you've never seen the old house I used to live in. Uhm, but out in the boondocks of Maple Ridge, I was the only one who had a room in the basement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because my older sister is an idiot and didn't take the basement room. I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You enjoy your attic, that if you want to come home late at night, you have to walk past mom and dad's room, pull down the ladder, and walk up. She fell out of that attic multiple times, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, we're talking, you're an idiot. It was boiling hot in the summer. Like, okay, whatever, anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a second child, I managed to score the basement bedroom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one thing I had to contend with was the TV, okay? And this was back in the days when families only had one TV. And that TV was a CRT TV. And my hearing was pretty sensitive in the high range, so I could hear, I could hear the scanning gun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, fire in the electrons. And that was pretty obnoxious, actually, through the wall for me. And my mom was ALWAYS watching, Dennis, what's his stupid name? And he's actually- Dennis Miller!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, she was always watching Dennis Miller live, and it was late at night, and I was like, mother...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go to bed. Or put the TV somewhere. Anyway, so that was the only issue I had to contend with. So, we actually had a downstairs kitchen. The whole downstairs had a separate entrance from the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was set up as a full suite. So both the upstairs and downstairs had access to the laundry room easily. And it had a full downstairs kitchen that we hadn't used in years. Uhm, so I actually set up my gaming rig in the like, bay window equivalent to the bay window upstairs in the dining room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I had on the windows, so we had our basement set up so it was a boat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they buy parts with the like, discount at the local store, and then they find friends and relatives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me too, I was good at it. But uhm, so obviously I had more parts, and it's a great way to get games. Gotta try to sell people cases and fans, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I never sold anyone an expensive cable. Not once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no value to a fancy HDMI cable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry to all those who make fancy HDMI cables.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what we're talking about. Why don't we, you know what, why don't we jump right into the Apple event and then we'll do sponsors or something like that. So this was posted by Alex Goes High on the forum. I'm gonna go ahead and screen share with you guys. Apple special event!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They actually built this auditorium, basically the entire thing. Oh, no, no, no, no. That's when like, just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They bought, like, they legit straight up bought stadium seating and installed it to do this enormous live event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is a completely custom, custom screen and all that stuff. And you know what's really funny? Is... the press?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yay, the press that covers Apple products.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just blows my mind. I'm not gonna name any names. But I was just, like, I was, I was reading up some, some, on some blogs and, you know, getting other people's thoughts on some of this stuff before we did WAN Show today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this one blogger who's talking about the event goes on for so long about how much


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It comes down to not being a fanboy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at it for what it is. Does it matter to me that this wallet is made by... I don't even know. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What matters is how many cards it holds, how robust it is. Incidentally, this one has held together incredibly well for me, not that Swiss Gear is, you know, a sponsor or anything, but I figure if I'm gonna talk about it and evaluate it, then I might as well say what it is. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's it. Does it, does it have a style that appeals to you? Great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't matter that someone got on stage and told me about it in a really pleasing way. GROW UP!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you should buy a Tesla car because you think it's a great piece of technology at a fair price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, seriously, a Tesla Model S can do almost the same 0-60 as my bike. The acceleration is obscene. Yea. Very interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At all. To be very clear, it's just, uh, apparently it was the LAPD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. That is the question we should all be asking. Apple, the first iPhone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had a 16 gig model. That was what, eight years ago?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you freaking kidding me? Like the base model should be that 64 gig one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, it's, the, the, okay, the difference in price. So let's, let's go, let's go, let's go way back in time. Oh, fun. Let's go to the way way back machine. Let's have a look at NCIX.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so let's go, let's go back to 2007 and let's see if we can find something in their weekly special here. I'm gonna, I'll screen share with you guys for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, this is still Tom. Tom was doing the banners back then as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have nothing to say about that. Okay, so back then, so okay, so are we getting two gigs of RAM with the iPhone 6s? Can you find that out while I go ahead and look at some of this pricing? So back then, two gigs of memory cost you $283. Back then, a 24-inch widescreen cost $890.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Well, we might actually have to go not quite as far back. Let's try, let's try August 2008, shall we? Apparently two gigs of RAM?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, apparently it is 2 gigs. Okay, so they finally...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've finally given us two gigs of RAM. Alright, let's go ahead and see if we can find an SSD here. OCZ GameXStream... Geez!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought like the X25M or like one of those cheapo stupid, like when did all of that happen? Did that not happen till much later?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, is this just a matter of Apple giving us far too much early on and now we don't appreciate the generosity of their- of their 16 gigs of onboard storage? No, let's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think there's still some, uh, I think there's still some debate. I don't know if they've actually confirmed it. No, GSM Arena is saying 2 gigs of RAM. I've seen a lot of rumors that it's, that it's 2 gigs of RAM, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would, uh, I would actually believe that. This is taking way longer than I had hoped! There we go! Okay. So in two thousand... nine. Wow. Eight. Two thousand- no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is this? Dammit. Whatever. So at this point in time, you could get 64 gigs of SSD storage for $240. Since that time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since that time, uhm, so, so 60, so dollars, uh, gigs, gigs per dollar, dollars per gig, dollars per gig. So 240 divided by 64. Okay, so now, you can buy a 2 terabyte Samsung drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so that's $3.75 a gig. Alright, so you can buy a 2 terabyte Samsung drug, you know what, let's look at the 1 terabyte, I think that's a better cost per gig.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's about the same, actually. So, uh, four hundred and eighty dollars for one thousand twenty-four. Or one thousand, whatever. Rough numbers, rough numbers here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? No, you ran the numbers the other way! What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's 50 cents a gig, it's not two, it's two, it's two gigs per dollars. Whatever. The point is, so three, what was it, 3.75? This is not a math show, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apple could literally be giving us seven times the storage of the original iPhone at the same price as they would have had to pay at that time. And I know that doesn't factor in changing market conditions and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So let's say five times! 128 gigs should be baseline today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 64 gigs should be like, that's the value model. But a premium device like an iPhone should not even have a 16 gig model. It's embarrassing. Uh, so what else do we have to say about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you get 128 gigs for another $100 over that. The 6S Plus is basically $100 more across the board for the slightly bigger screen, and you get some additional benefits. So the 6S Plus, once again, is the only one to feature optical image stabilization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the 6S does NOT have that particular feature.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they're both using the, uh, new 64-bit, or actually, I don't think it is new, is it? Whatever. It's an A9 chip, not the A9 Plus, that we're gonna see in the new iPad Pro. So it's an A9 chip with an M9 motion co-processor. Uhm, they finally shoot 4K video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Finally, with that said, I don't necessarily think that Apple's been behind the 8-Ball on the whole 4k video thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, so anyway, uhm, sorry. So the six, the, uh, the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 6S Plus, once again, is the only one that features optical image stabilization, which is kind of a bummer for people with small hands, and they both now have 3D Touch, or Force Touch by another name. Actually, this same Apple blogger, and I'm probably revealing too much now, if that person is watching, which I'm sure they're not, uhm, they're gonna know who I'm talking about, but compared


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 3D touch to shortcuts on a keyboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's a right click! Only an Apple user would not recognize this as a right click. You access hidden menus, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not a keyboard shortcut. That's a right click. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry you've gone without right click for so many years. Welcome to 2015!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, what else do I have to say here? Uh, the FaceTime cameras, 5 megapixels. There's a new color, rose gold. I will be doing an iPhone 6S review. I have requested that dbrand send me over the rose gold model, so. That is definitely happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would call this like a copper. I'd call that like a copper color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's just a fancy name for pink. Yeah, I want the pink one. Uhm, so the last thing is they feature their Taptic Engine now, so basically it's way, way better vibration, and that's what enables them to do things like their 3D touch, the shape of the iPhone, I really don't think you wanna...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the iPad Pro is coming, uh, 32 gigs is $7.99.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 128 gigs is 949, and the 128 gig with cellular data is over a thousand dollars. It features a 12.9 inch retina display, although that is one high resolution 5.6 megapixel display. It features 10 hours of battery life and 8 megapixel iSight camera, although


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is gonna be a whole new level of, of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, what are they called? Pad holes? Pad holes, yeaah. I mean, walk in-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right to do so! Uhm, it features their third generation 64-bit A9X chip, uh, it's got AC wireless with MIMO, blah blah blah blah blah, Touch ID is a nice thing to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The keyboard accessory. Yea, the keyboard accessory is straight out of Microsoft's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here we go, so the, uh, the, the credit here goes to, uh, Joel Watson. Here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we've got, uh, Steve Ballmer no longer in the picture. We call it the Surface. Boo, your iPad sucks! It's not an iPad, it's a Surface.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suck my surface, the surface of my- well, that's the D word, but, uh, anyway. So he's like, ma-la-la, it's got a kickstand, your iPad still sucks! And then, this is so funny. It's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We call it the Smart Cover Touch and we think you're going to love it. You invented that. Yes we did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fan-freaking-tastic. I love it. With that said, I'm not gonna give Apple too much crap about, you know, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, copying, copying the idea of, uh, you know, folding keyboard or whatever. It's not like these haven't existed for an awful long time. No, no, no, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Microsoft didn't invent the idea of a low-profile frickin' folding keyboard anyway. It's not like anyone can really take credit for that at this point anyhow. Well, someone can, but it won't be Microsoft and it won't be Apple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's just, it's just funny that the timing is so great and the reaction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's gonna have all the usual, the usual stylus stuff. Tilt and pressure. Tilt, pressure, uhm, it's a hundred dollars, which is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really feels like this is Apple in a nutshell. Many bloggers, and I've actually, the stylus was the one, I'm not calling it a pencil, the stylus is the one that a lot of people I think are missing the point of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The stylist to me summarizes what Apple is in a nutshell, and I've seen a lot of people focusing on the professional applications.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it is, yes. Okay, so what it turns the iPad Pro into is Apple's typical MO.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is convincing casuals that they're professionals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's not a professional tool. You know what a professional tool is? Is the Wacom Windows tablet. That is a professional tool. You know what a professional tool is? Sort of. The Surface Pro 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before Microsoft did away with the proper digitizer in the screen. Those are professional tools. Professional tools are ones that are able to run the full version of Adobe's Creative Suite. And the iPad Pro could have been a cool product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's running iOS. So ultimately, it's a doodle pad for cool kids. And older people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see, because I've called Apple products stupid before, and I've been proven that people will buy it. Alright, it's been- I've been proven-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I've been proven that, uh, like I, I still think the, I, I, this is, this is kind of funny because it's almost like we've all admitted now that the iPad was dumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The iPad 1, I called it dumb. A lot of people called it dumb. I called it, and I don't know if anyone else called it this, but I called it the uncariable device. Because it's too big for a pocket, and too small to justify carrying around a backpack. If I'm gonna carry a backpack, I might as well put something useful in it. Like this, which can do both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly, like, and not that convertibles existed at the time, but that didn't change the fact that they were getting there. It didn't change the fact that the iPad 1 was the uncariable device. It's the device that makes no sense. There's nowhere to put it if I'm not holding it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to mention that iPad full sizes are so expensive that you might as well pick up something with a keyboard on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there was some other stuff, uh, Apple Watch and Watch OS. Uh, Apple is claiming an incredible 97% customer satisfaction. Did they factor me in? Was I included in the survey? Maybe you were the entire 3%. Cause I straight up-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I straight up, I straight up spent, what was it, like $800 or whatever on an Apple Watch to do my review? If you guys think for a second that if I spend money on a review device,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I like it. If you think I'm not gonna keep using it, you got another thing coming. That thing sits on a shelf. In a box. Because not I, nor anyone else at Linus Media Group has expressed any interest in using it on a day-to-day basis. It's that bad. And I even wear a smartwatch! Ed wears a smartwatch! Do we have any iPhone users though? Yes, Dennis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe Dennis doesn't know what it is. Dennis is too shy. Where's Dennis? Oh, poor Dennis. Ah, what else we got here? There's a new Apple TV, or something. People still watch TV. Uh, one kind of-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, specs, no 4K video streaming support for upcoming, that's a rumor. Okay, so, here's the thing. Yes, it's a Netflix box, which is great. Series support, A plus for that. But, how much is a Shield console? Same price, I think? Yeah, I think it's $199. Buy now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It comes with a game controller. It streams at 4K. It has all this stuff that Apple is claiming is amazing, like voice control. It comes with a sleek little aluminum remote. And it's a pretty sexy looking piece of hardware. I think, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and it does stream at 4K, which is kind of cool. And it has support for Nvidia Game Stream if you're into that kind of thing. And I know not everyone plays games, but why get less?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't have to. That was the other thing, is that, now I'm really narrowing down what blogger I was reading, is like, he figured the Apple TV refresh was the most amazing thing from the event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, are you for real, bro? He's like, yeah, it's a whole new way of experiencing live events. Some baseball demonstration or something like. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe I'm a Philistine, but I personally didn't think that the baseball game experience was bad before. I thought it was just fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we should proooobably jump into our sponsor spots. We've completely neglected them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, Lynda.com has lots of great tutorials for all kinds of stuff. We're actually legitimately not mocking them. Not because they're a sponsor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But because it's a good service that we've had multiple people who work here now learn things that they do


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At their jobs, now, on Lynda.com. So things like video editing, things like programming, uh, things like business skills, learning to use office applications, and it's not just for young tech savvy people, like, let's say, for example, you've got a middle-aged relative,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's had trouble, you know, holding down a job and, you know, lacks some of the skills that our generation takes for granted. Like, we had typing class.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is actually gonna be funny, not only to our parents who are like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, a class to computer it? I'll just use a pen and paper. But also funny to our kids who are gonna feel like, what, they have to teach you that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It starts at only $8 a month, depending on what kind of a site you want to build. And their templates, of which they have many, are suitable for building a company website.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A store, a blog, a portfolio, just about anything you can imagine, you can build on Squarespace, and if you can't figure out how to do it, they've got 24-7 tech support, which you can contact by live chat or email.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well hold on, that narrows it down a fair bit because it wasn't me, so it must have been John.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I thought you meant, oh, did they not send us both a box? That's okay, we can open it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there will be no dentises included in your one-up box. What else we got in here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this month is combat. Oh, check out the adorable Wolverine! Look, his head moves! It's a pokeball wristband! He can do the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, I actually am the only one who works here who wears wristbands.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, take it Brandon. I got the Pokemon thing. What else is in here? I didn't see this yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, and then there's a pin that says you collected the August- Ah, sorry, the theme was combat. There you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh look! This is great! It's a key for all the things! Catch them all, sweatband!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pricing, pricing, pricing, here we go. So it's, uh, $13 plus shipping in the US, and $26.95 with shipping included outside of the US. That's actually pretty good for international deals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, September's theme was pixels and then this one is apparently combat. You can get three dollars off your first month subscription by using coupon code. Awesome! So head over to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, according to the FTC guidelines, we have to, we have to disclose that we were given a free one-up box, and they are a sponsor of the show. So, but that doesn't change how cool this Poked- You know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna let you have it because, because I actually have the world's most rockin' wristbands already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For some, like, exclusive, like, high-end product. So I think there's probably maybe a couple dozen of them that exist on Earth. And I have a matching pair of them. So I'll keep rocking those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, what about the box? Head over to 1UP. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I covered that. Okay, so Pokemon Go announced for iOS and Android. This was posted by Skywake on the forum. This looks absolutely bananas. And our source for this is gonna be our good friends over at Technobuffalo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excuse me? Pokemon Go has been announced by the Pokemon Company and Nintendo. It's a mobile title that's being developed by Niantic, separate from Google by the way now, the same folks that made Ingress a game of similar ilk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This sounds bananas, okay? So there is a dedicated wearable accessory, okay? That I think it buzzes when there's Pokemon nearby. As you're out in the regular world, okay? It's a smartphone game that you actually play by going outside and catching Pokemon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And possibly very rare Pokemon. Because, while hiking is a popular pastime, I think the Venn diagram overlap between people who hike as a pastime and people who play


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, after seeing them at PAX. Yeah. And, uh, and it's like, well, I'm like, how much did you pay for it? 80 bucks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, a couple more details about Pokemon Go. It'll be released in 2016, and uh, so the optional device, this is so cool, will be connected to your smartphone using Bluetooth and will flash its LED and vibrate to notify players about nearby Pokemon. Now, imagine this. Augmented reality real world Pokemon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but anyway, scientists are looking to clone mammoths. You know what's funny? I think this is a picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From, uh, a Vancouver mammoth exhibit. Where is this? Is this in Victoria?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now to be clear, this is a technique that has been somewhat successful. Zebrafish and jellyfish have already been successfully cross-linked to make glowing fish, but these are much simpler creatures, much smaller creatures, and uhm, everything is more difficult with a mammal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How? Cause they're pretty smart. What just happened to my, my birth hole?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of birth holes, Amazon is giving birth to a $50 tablet now that they've given up on selling you a more expensive device that exists solely for the purpose of driving you to buy Amazon products and services. Just absurd. So they have finally figured out if we're gonna cram


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazon, up everyone's birth hole, with these devices. We better be basically giving them away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you, Amazon, for finally cluing in to that. Yes. Uh, so this new device will have a six inch screen and will be half the price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, the thing about this is that this can only really be successful if it's competitive with the other, like, $50, 7-inch class tablets that already exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, from like cheapo brands like RCA. You know what's really funny?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, uh, this was an example from the Wall Street Journal article here, uh, including brands unfamiliar to many Americans, like RCA. Yeah. What is not familiar about RCA? The other ones, sure. Yeah, like, uh, Ematic and Aries. But RCA?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Must be the best known brand that has never managed to make the transition to becoming somewhat premium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They always have been and seemingly always will be cheap junk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, pretty much every time they expand into a new category, Samsung is cheap crap all over again. Until they figure it out and get better at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, there's gotta be countless other examples, like, uhm... Someone in the chat is like, everything has RCA! Yeah! Like, how many people- Oh, no, that's not what we're talking about. No, no, RCA the brand that made, like, really bad, seedy, Walkman wannabes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ugh, man, they were awful. Maybe they're just not old enough to remember RCA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] randomaddits has, or something like that, is the OP on the forum, and the article here is from, uh, geeksnack.com. But this is ju- okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, like this guy did some like really cool stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yes, Nintendo has established that it is illegal to use a ROM even if you own a legitimate copy of the game. But come on. Just don't be a jerk about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They contacted him directly and wrote a letter about what they were doing, is just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It made my stomach turn just reading it. Uhm, I'll go ahead and I'll quote some of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the owner of the copyright in the games Mario Kart 8, Super Mario World, and Pokemon, Nintendo has the exclusive right to perform the games publicly or to make derivative works based on the games. By making a derivative work using Nintendo's intellectual property and then displaying Nintendo's intellectual property on your YouTube channel, you have violated Nintendo's exclusive rights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nintendo understands that its fans are the reason for its success. Excuse me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you? No you don't. Do you actually? No. Cause I don't think you do. I don't think understand means what you think it means. I don't think fans means.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you think it means. This would be, this would, we actually were talking to Vessel recently about what's happening with some of our content getting pulled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then posted onto YouTube during our exclusivity period and stuff like that and they, they kinda asked us, well do you wanna go with an automated system so that you guys are claiming monetization or, or pulling down content that features your videos? I said no, of course not. So much!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right! I love it when people put together, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, like that great video of the Shia LaBeouf green screen. Yes, that was so good. Of him saying, just do it, and me saying, don't do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you have any idea how much it warms my heart to see people taking what we've created and turning it into something cool? Like obviously if someone creates something, you know, grossly offensive or illegal or whatever else, we're not going to be cool with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just going to see if I can find that video because it's so funny. Uhm, aww.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus? Ah, I wish I could find it. Anyway, it was really funny. Uhm, and I don't remember where I was going with that anymore. Yeah, so as long as they're not doing something totally inappropriate, we love that kind of stuff because that's what


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how you guys can communicate back to us in the same medium that we use to communicate to you. This is, this is the language we're speaking. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, sorry, I'll read more of the letter, but it's just gonna make me more upset as I go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, oh, this kills me. They're the reason for its success, and we are always happy to see people share their passion for Nintendo's games. Well maybe you could express your happiness in a way that's not legal action against someone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, Nintendo's intellectual property constitutes its most valuable assets, and the unauthorized use of these assets jeopardizes Nintendo's rights. Because of this, we ask that you please remove the video in question, except that they didn't ask, they just had it removed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And confirm that you will not post any videos using unauthorized software or copies of games, distribute or continue work on the modification, or take any other steps that would infringe Nintendo's rights. They referred him to the Nintendo's creators program, which is gross by the way, and ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through which Nintendo takes a cut listed as 30% for channels and 40% for per- for videos of ad revenues generated by features video ni- uh, videos featuring Nintendo games if you wanted to continue his fan engagement on YouTube. They charge their fans to engage with them. That's disgusting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how many people have the technical savvy and know-how to rip into ROMs and create new speedrunning paths or do some of the really entertaining stuff to watch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Millions of people are watching and going, oh cool, I remember that game. And dusting off their Nintendo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, yeaah, basically, Nintendo, that was a total asshole move. Period.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that pretty much does it for the show. Thanks for watching, guys! And, uh, wow, we should really try to end on a happy note, cause I'm like super mad right now. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I kinda wanna run away, but I'm gonna keep doing the WAN Show because I love you guys. And I want it to go well. Oh man. My bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I painted something last night. Your car? No, no I, no I painted, I painted a painting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was my painting. It was, it was literally paint by numbers. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, sort of. Like, you had- But you had to freeform it. You did have to freeform it, but like, there's instructions. It's like, step by step. It's like- It's like I made this delicious roast duck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except that in this case, the person who is making the video, you know, the YouTube video, actually goes and obtains you, like, the food that you need, and the pot that you need, and like, the fresh water that you need to clean your brush.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well hold on a second, I'm sure there's- it's in the assets folder, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can mean that the demand was incredibly high. It can mean that you took a bunch of money and abandoned your values and morals for the money. Sold out can mean a lot of different things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what sold out means in this case, I believe, and the, the, the, the under headline here. This is interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are stropping the crap out of this. Hotcakes, uh, yes, all the time, uh, never heard of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turnip. Maybe, maybe hotcakes are turnips. Uh, never heard of them and let's go somewhere in between. So, we need to hear from you guys about hotcakes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you don't know what they are exactly. That's fair. Which is part of why you, like, that's like me saying that I've heard of, you know, um, clandestine destiny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, but I don't know what that would be, exactly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I thought someone was gonna come in here and correct us, and they're not welcome in this room if that's what they're all about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and I heard a rumor that the total inbound shipments is somewhere in the neighborhood of uhm, you know what, I don't want to say too much. So let's say, uh, let's say I don't think they're selling that well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In North America, I suspect there are less than a thousand, would be my guess. That's a somewhat educated guess. Basically, the Furiax doesn't even exist. So, there you go, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just strawpoll everyday. Strawpoll, strawpoll day to day. Furiax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The answers are, and I want, okay, a lot of the time, we just, we just, like, we troll you guys. Okay, I'm counting on you this time. I do want real answers this time because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, no, no. Our viewers, they got our back on this one because this is actually pretty important. It's for everyone's benefit to know what's going on here. So, theory X. The answers are, I have one, I know someone who has one, or, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other. So like you don't have one and you don't know anyone who has one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we're gonna go ahead, we're gonna create that strong pool. And there, no, there is no, there is no troll turnip response because I wanna know what's going on. Are they selling like hotcakes or do they not exist? Let's go ahead and fire these results up here. Uhm, Linus's screen. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyone who didn't pay for it doesn't count. So if you happen to know, like, Ryan Smith from Anontek, that doesn't count. He didn't buy it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks like, uhm, it looks like I was barking up the right tree there. You know what? To give us some context for this, I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna create a new straw poll right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we- we wanna hear from you guys, we wanna know, like, what's going on here. So, Linus's screen share, we've got just shy of 95% of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So with a whopping 34, so a whopping 60 of you either have one or know someone who has one. And since I suspect there's a little bit of dishonesty at least, basically out of the Linus Tech Tips audience,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If nobody has these cards, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm straight up kind of calling, yeah, these actually don't exist. So let's go ahead and let's post that 980 TI straw poll now. And I want to see the results from that from you guys. This is going to be really interesting. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so we've got here 15% of you saying they had got one in launch week or they know someone who got one in launch week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, with that said, I know that 980ti was quite supply constrained as well. In fact, continues to be supply constrained. We actually pitched to a major graphics card maker that they send us 10 980tis, not permanently, so that we could test, uhm,

[Assistant] Which ones would, which ones would turbo boost the most? We talked about this on one show last week, that was your idea. Woah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and I was like, well what if you lent them to me, and like, you give me NCIX's allocation, and then I hand deliver them to NCIX. So they're going, like they're going straight to the retailer. We don't have any bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, when you compare that to R9 Theory X,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's very interesting. Uhm, now I have to run for a minute, because speaking of the Fury X, I think I might have left it in my car. Uhm, so you're on your own for the next topic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't see it because it was under something, which is probably why no one else saw it. So this is our new Fury X, uh, which is really funny because I was at, uh, I was at NCIX today shooting NCIX Tech Tips, and uhm, they were like, you have two? We didn't even get one! And I was like, no, no, we only have two because our first one was DOA. And they were like, yeah, but we didn't even get one!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. Like, we're not gonna report those numbers, but we- we straight up were like, okay, it's not performing as well as, like, you know-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My problem with the way that AMD is spinning this, and spin is really the right word here, is that it's all about presentation. Intel did Haswell Refresh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, three months down the line, or six months down the line, they'd launch the 3.2 GHz Northwood C. They wouldn't call it a different thing, you don't, you don't have to call it a completely different thing, it's just like, oh yea, it's a speed bump, that's what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nobody in our audience is gonna be fooled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what? The thing about all of this though, is that I don't want to ride AMD too hard about it. Because it's super crappy. It's a crappy thing to do. But, Nvidia's done it too. It's not like, it's not like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It happens all the time. Yes. Especially on the low end. See, the thing about Nvidia is they're kind of like they're savvy enough to not try to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I mean, it's not like Nvidia hasn't milked a microarchitecture before. I mean, uhm, shoot, I can't remember what 8800GT- G92. G92, Nvidia milked the crap out of that thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something, you know, higher number. Oh wait, except when they rebranded it GTS 250. So let's not pretend that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? Like I, I get it. I like having the INI file. I had to use an INI file yesterday because I was trying to launch Crysis 3 and I had copied over a save game and the last thing I had used it on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was a 5K display. So like, when I opened the game, it was like, I was seeing like, the corner of it on a 1080p display.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I couldn't actually navigate to the menu to change my settings, and I was like, okay, this is an unusual situation that pretty much nobody would ever find themselves in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The INI file, in order to unlock the game from 30 FPS, is just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, here it is. This is awesome. This is from, uh, the PC Master Race subreddit. Uhm. Have you seen this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that they can look at Assassin's Creed Unity, and look at Watch Dogs, and look at these titles where developers are being crucified for these completely unnecessary limitations. If it works above 30 FPS,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why isn't that the default? And I mean, I guess saying it works is sort of generous, because uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean Warner Brothers came out and said that AMD owners would experience performance issues. Which really, I mean the most frustrating thing about this is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether Nvidia is being completely upfront or not, whether they are or not, like, if Nvidia is to be believed, GameWorks doesn't hurt anyone else's performance, it's just extra eye candy that happens to run great on Nvidia because they designed it and basically handed it to the game developer to put inside the game. So for a developer to come out and just say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, it, uhm, just like, is gonna work kinda crap on, uh, on AMD cards. By the way, this is a GameWorks title. I mean, I would love to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, what's going on in Nvidia's sort of minds when they're sitting there going, okay, so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what I do know, and this was a really good point from Tom Peterson about, uh, what was it, uh, Witcher 3, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where when it came out, yea, yea, Witcher 3 came out, and AMD performance wasn't very good, and a lot of it was getting blamed on Gameworks, and then AMD had a fixed driver, and I think it was one or two weeks? And so Tom Peterson kinda went,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, hold on a second. So they managed to fix it in like two weeks. So where was that development effort two weeks before the launch? It seems to me there's no problem here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just fine. Uhm. That's true. So, so anyway, Warner Brothers already came out and said, yep, well, AMD users, peace, bro. And then Performance is, uh, having some issues on Nvidia GPUs as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uhm, there you go. Steam ratings were sitting at 35% positive, like you said, and Warner Brothers games apparently listened. This is kind of funny, uh, some of the textures, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Magnetic. Okay, I don't, I don't know. Uh, anyway, in the meantime, let me do this. So we talked about the guy who sent, oh crap, what was it, 11.2 pounds of bottle caps to Bethesda, uhm, to get a copy of Fallout 4, which actually ended up costing him shipping about half as much as just a pre-order the game would have cost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and it turns out that they were very careful about the wording.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so they, they very carefully said, ahem, so they sent 2,240 caps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he was the first person to do this, he would be receiving a copy of the game in November.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well they call them Ballistic George. So that's like a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] PCMRG. So peasantry. This port fails to deliver a quality that is even comparable to consoles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mod support, none. Uh, mods may result in online bans. Servers, possibly weak unreliable servers, and possible day one DLC. With, uh, glitches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so it goes all the way up to righteous. This port exceeds the standards set by its console counterparts but does not reach the full glory and potential of PC gaming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then glorious basically means this is as far as it goes. There's no limit to frame rate, 4k or beyond resolution, gloriously optimized, complete support for mods, strong servers with dedicated or custom servers available. Uh, no day one DLC or DLC is free. So, there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, you know what's funny is we actually have a fastest possible episode coming on adblock very soon. Did I tell you that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should do a turnip shirt. I should do a straw pull for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, here we go, here we go, here we go. Should we do a vote for Turnip shirt? I mean, I don't even, I don't even know if this is- Did you put Turnip in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we've got a-a-a whopping 5% of you that say there should not be a vote for Turnip shirt who also are not voting for Turnip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flashing gang signs, yo! So, so this guy, okay, here, let's do, let's do a quick, uh, let's do a quick, we got a quick promo spot. Come on, okay, Burkle's gonna, Burkle's gonna join us for, for a minute here. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so uhm, upcoming channel super fun. For those of you who are not subscribed to channel super fun, what do we do today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you know anyone who you think would enjoy channel super fun, and if you're not subscribed already, get over there, get subscribed, cause what, okay, so the one we did this morning, uh, we played, we played golf, we played pitch and putt, so uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but we used equipment that we got at the dollar store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, uhm, well the whole explanation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause, I mean, jello's not that great for you anyway, so, you know, if you're trying to help someone get over their jello addiction,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh. That's your pillow though, that's your witness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Disappointing in open letter. And I'm gonna say right now, we've, we've, we've sort of said that we don't think Taylor Swift has sort of, uhm, uh, we don't think she has a firm understanding of what exactly it is that's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were just giving it away, and I guess, hey, we just won't pay you, they won't pay, everything's good, right? Yeah, it's great. So, what was it, like a day after Swift's letter? Apple promptly went, oh, yep, okay, looks like we weren't gonna get away with that. Nevermind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's not wrong at all, she's 100% right. But Brandon travels in some more photography-y circles in terms of where he gets his news from. And there are some folks pointing out that, uhm, well, uh, you know, there's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Taylor's not exactly always the most progressive either. Apparently, photographers who pay for the rights to photograph at her concerts, uh, each image can only be used for editorial purposes once, so they can't actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're gonna be all about sort of, you know, digital, digital rights and creator rights, I mean, you should probably have a bit more of a progressive, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, an industry photographer released an open letter to Swift outlining this, so they're forced to sign off the rights to their photos in perpetuity to artists while only maintaining the ability to publish them and be paid for them once.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, stuff like this DOES exist in many industries. It's just interesting to see, you know, these open letters. Yeah, flying around back and forth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, if you paid for the rights to be there, and it's not cheap,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why haven't countries banned selfie sticks? They're obviously hazardous. I'm so-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's really funny? I have used my selfie stick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turnip is a straight answer. So we've got only 16% of you saying yes, a video is still a selfie. So I guess while I have used my selfie stick, I haven't technically, according to 85% of our audience, used it to take a selfie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's how I'm counting them. Turnip's a wild card, man. You can just decide what turnip counts as? Uh, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They initially tried to accommodate them by forbidding them on rides, but allowing them elsewhere on park grounds. But people snuck them in. People continued to take them on rides, which is like, a whole other level of stupid. It's like, you have a selfie stick. That's dumb. You use your selfie stick to take selfies of yourself. That's like, super lame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You endanger the lives of other people with your stupid selfie stick. Now you need like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need to sit down and get a stern talking too. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, this week a roller coaster at Disneyland was put out of commission for an hour because of a guest using a selfie stick at the ride's highest point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently Coke's giving them away in the UK? Oh, that's a shame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's uh, oh we should do sponsors! Right, so our sponsors today! I appreciate it! Squarespace! Squarespace, you know what's really weird? What? I did a Squarespace spot today on NCIX Tech Tips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they have Squarespace as a sponsor, and I was hosting the video, and I was like, this is weird, so visit squarespace.com and use offer code, not Linus, use some other offer code, which-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There. Okay, so there we go. Squarespace site for Cali bags.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have I been duped into promoting your mom's thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're a lot more professional than like, calling out a competitor for like, straight up getting taken down when people go to the site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's okay. So the point is, the uh, the ProTech Toolkit has a 54-bit driver kit with specialty and security bits. It's got like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's Luke's iFixit kit, you can tell. We like, we like marked our territory on our iFixit kits because like, the thing that's great about the tech toolkit is that it has all these little pieces. So if someone else borrows your tech toolkit and they lose your


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Peace! All my pieces are still here? Yeah! Are they? What? Are you missing them? No. Oh, okay, nevermind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I fix it. Offer code win, and that offer code changes all the time, you guys, so don't sit on your butt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Nick, Nick is gonna get like a heart attack or like some other kind of crippling, crippling injury.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, what? Do I even wanna know? Uh, okay, uh, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Do I have to, uh, no. I don't think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can trust you guys. I can trust you guys on this trouble. We have done no tech news today! Yeah, we did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I'm gonna show you guys option one and option two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't influence, don't influence the viewers. Okay, so we want you guys to vote for option one or option two, but first I'm going to show you the options. This is- oop, I zoomed in too much. This-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is vote for turnip, option one, with the turnip, okay? And this is, uhm, a look at my dropbox, uh, progress bar. Uh, that's a grand show thumbnail. Okay, give me a second. Just give me a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Option one is with the picture of the turnip. Option two is just with the text. I'm gonna go ahead, I'm gonna post that straw poll right now. This will influence the turnip shirt. Whichever one wins. Okay you guys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Option two is without the turnip. Option one costs us more because there's more ink colors. Could we make a war? A war of the turnips? Yeah. What the hell are you talking about? You are not having a good day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, mash drop, plus teespring, plus like, plus like the haunted house where you put your hand into the bucket of like spaghetti and like grapes and then you pull out a handful and eat it. That's what that idea is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so this was posted on the forum by Ah Ming. The original article here is from F.org. This is the stupidest thing ever. Because ripping CDs is not sharing CDs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I don't understand what the issue here with ripping CDs is. Uh, yeaah, sure, thank you. Yeaah, I could use a drink. Thank you very much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So court strikes down law allowing users to rip their own CDs. I don't have much to say about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean we already have that tax in Canada, so there's that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really funny though, because the tax is on, if I recall correctly, blank media, and then I think MP3 players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Do they not have USB drives?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a friend of mine in high school. I think it was a trip to Hong Kong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the shit, okay? Like it was a 16 meg, and like, he got a 32 meg, because he like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Splurged on himself, but still, that was like a really nice gift. Because all of a sudden,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a USB drive, and like, everyone else was slumming it with floppy drives, with floppy disks, straight up, okay? So uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the court accepted that the EU copyright directive does not require that sellers must be able to extract the every last gram of value from the copyright, so the personal copying exception may have resulted in loss of sales.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the government failed to provide any evidence that these lost sales were zero or minimal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything sensible actually works. I mean Office 365 is my license for the computer? No. That's the direction the world's going. The license is for me personally and the five devices that I want to use it on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is freaking awesome. That is the right direction. Uhm, so yeaah, this is not the right direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so this was posted by TwistedDictator. Uhm, original article here is from PCGamer.com. And it's Assassin's Creed news. So this is either...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is either Ubisoft kind of, you know, pulling their heads out of their butts and, uh, you know, really committing to PC gamers that they've, uh, they're taking it seriously now and they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ready to- ready to do things properly, or this is going to have to- okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so Creative Director tells PC Gamer at E3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one of the things I'm happy about is that we're really taking our time with the PC version to really make it shine. We want the game to really work well on the PC on day one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where, okay, yes, PCGamer- Yeah, but GTA V came out pretty okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it also took a really long time. So I think they're finding a- Well that's exactly it. So they're taking a page out of Rockstar's book. People were upset at all the delays. But you look at the amount of upset people are over Arkham Knight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where on Arkham Knight, it translates into bad reviews, and people not buying the game. And with GTA V, whoops, I almost just slipped the bird at the audience. Where with GTA V, it translates into people buying copious numbers of copies. Jack from NCIX was telling me he literally owns two copies of the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, so yeaah, so that's basically all there is to it. So it's gonna come on the- to the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on October 23rd. And uhm, they're saying a bit later in the fall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Microsoft, this was posted by Jaws on the forum, just made millions off of Windows XP. Software that is literally over ten years old. With that said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like, uhm, it's not like the way that a company sometimes makes money off of 10 year old software where they actually don't have to do any additional work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is a contract between the US Navy and Microsoft to continue to provide security updates and patches for Windows XP for the 100th


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] THOUSAND workstations that they're still busy transitioning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, to newer operating systems. So, I guess for the US Navy, you know, given


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many workstations they have, uh, going on that are relying on Windows XP, Office 2003, Exchange 2003, and Windows Server 2003.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uh, the contract, which could extend up to 2017, could be worth the 30.8 million to not have to have the software that runs on those PCs. Cause you can even look at that and go, really? 30.8 million?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Windows 10 Insider. This has been HUGE news this week. This was posted by Kodiak, and the article here is from Ars Technica. Microsoft clarification kinda.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clears up the Windows 10 license confusion because this has been some confusing stuff going on right now, so


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, to opt out of the Insider pro-uh, program, you will need a valid Windows 7, 8, or 10 license, because without a suitable license, the operating system will eventually expire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's still a few things that are up in the air, but the point basically was, hey, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The insider program is looking pretty cool if you don't mind beta testing software for Microsoft. And the fact that this is on an ongoing basis really points to a really different, uh, philosophy for Microsoft Windows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With, it sounds like much more rapid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's really funny. I, uh, okay, I gotta show you guys this. So, I clicked the link, I thought, and oh, wait, oh, I clicked the wrong link. Anyway, I clicked the link to the Assassin's Creed one by accident. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so? I don't think they're, I don't think they're doing the entire back catalog, so the assumption would be that you've already played all the Gears games on Xbox, or else you're gonna get dumped into the story in the middle of, whatever's happening in Gears, I don't play Gears cause it's not on PC. Yeah, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, and like, I think there are chest high walls if Yahtzee is to be believed. Yes. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, but that's only if you kill dudes with it. Or you, or you like, slip and cut yourself. And then you hide in a corner and you heal. I would assume that there's gears. But the blood doesn't dry!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Nvidia's doing a really good job of trying to support these devices. I sure wish instead of that they would bring us Shield Portable 2, instead of things that hook up to your TV and things that are a tablet. Well not instead of, in addition to, I mean those are good things too. I just, I really want a new Shield Portable for Titex One. I hope, I hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's, it's really, it's really confusing. I wish, yeah, I, yeah, I don't know what the naming, so like, you can tell they're kind of making this up as they go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're just kind of like trying things, throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks. I mean the thing that they're, the thing that they've been really clear about from the beginning is that the software is important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, they're really focused on making sure game stream rocks. They're really focused on making sure the shield hub is, like, shield hub has been completely redesigned at least once. Since, uh, since I've been using it. I like it. Yeah. Uhm, but the hardware, they're just, I think they're just kinda trying stuff. Like, next we might see


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, they are apparently developing a chip that will allow that functionality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That functionality to be integrated into the touch screen. And based on that they've already got force, force touch on the Apple Watch, which by the way is horrible, compared to force touch on the MacBook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, here, okay, I'll show you, because it's like, it's just dumb. Okay, uhm, whoops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so force touch, so like press and then like press harder. You notice how fast the screen turns off? Isn't that hilarious? Yeaah. It's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't have very good battery life! Screen off! Screen off! Screen off! As quickly as possible, always. So go ahead and force touch it. Like, just press and then hold. No, no, the screen. Okay, now you've got Siri open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I also got sold on it on the MacBook, so there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is from KitGuru, originally posted by Boozoo, PCI Express 4.0. Uh, the new data rates and new connector to be finalized by 2017. So we're going to get a doubling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, a 1x interconnect will transfer up to 2 gigabytes per second. When you compare that to the 250 megabytes per second of Gen 1, wow!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I believe optics are gonna be involved. Uhm. Oh, really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this is a tricky thing. Backwards compatibility for the first time is not going to be a given.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So PCI Express Gen 3 cards will work in a Gen 4 slot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To develop the latest PCI Express standard, we could see...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A pretty devastating impact on their CPU sales, at least for, for upgraders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 2017, well remember too, the spec will be finalized by 2017.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could see, yet again, we could see it happen again where top tier cards could be released for both interfaces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've seen this before, in the AGP to PCI Express transition era, you could buy an X800 XT uh, AGP or an X800 or an X850 or like whatever it was. There were PCI Express and AGP versions of like similar power graphics cards at the time. So, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, I don't think you'll need the extra bandwidth. It's just, well, I mean, it depends what we're doing with graphics cards. Like, if they find a way, you know, maybe HBM memory and, like, you know, your new VR setup are gonna have some, like, crazy fast interconnect or something like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That required literally a PCI Express link to your computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like what if you couldn't run over DisplayPort? Think about that for a second! Like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I have an assignment for you. Move her to Squarespace? By the next time we do a Squarespace spot on WAN Show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ohhh. Wow. Did he just say what I think he said?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get it? Fourth? The fourth? Five-four?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not buying air conditioning though. We're paying for the electricity for air conditioning that is purchased for you. That's right. Ridiculous. Anyways. I'm basically a terrible person.

[Assistant] And like, if they, if they try to buy people out and make it so they can't post on YouTube, that would bring content over that you'd wanna watch there, but then that's really aggressive and is gonna create some really awkward situations. And if you don't do that, people are just probably gonna wanna watch it on YouTube instead of YouTube anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's interesting is the- I've been subscribed to our own channel on my private YouTube. Just so I know what we're releasing. Cause a lot of times I just don't. Because I'll film or work on something and then finish it and then it's like, oh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we'll see when that comes out, I guess. Uhm, so I subscribed to our own channel so I know what's even going on. Cause people have talked to me about things that have released. And they'll be like, in your most recent video, blah blah blah. And I'll be like, I have no idea what you're talking about. Uh, so yea, subscribe to our own channel. The only thing that I get in my subscription feed is the WAN Show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't get anything else. I have to go to the channel directly to get anything else in my subscription.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I was, yeaah. I was gonna say there's actually been like a few, but not reference ones. Alright. And when you say mass produced, like I don't know how many of these are actually gonna make either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was always like a grand, wasn't it? Yes. And then it was like, Titan Z, nope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, you probably haven't seen this, but the Battlefield 4 easter egg, if 10 people go around a buoy, did you know that an explosion happens to make that water thing? If you look close enough, right when he hits the water, there's like a fire explosion, then it instantly switches to water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you look close enough, it's there. And if you follow the people's camera when they're in the water, it's like it blows up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, like, only for a second, it's how they're simulating the, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go look at that footage again, pay attention and look for the like yellowy fire explosion that would happen from like a bomb in Battlefield 4 and watch it just disappear like right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love it. I had to segue to that, because I was like, this somehow connects, and there we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very cool. Uh, I saw a lot of people in the comments celebrating saying that they were going to install it. I don't know. Yeah, it's not that simple. No, I think this is more awesome because you can see it on more devices, hopefully at a cheaper price point and stuff. Not necessarily because you're going to be able to like hack hack and dose your phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's another thing actually to segue into another topic, which I don't even know where it is. Uhm, but they're encouraging people to make cross-platform apps now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you make an app for the Windows Store on a Windows 8.1 PC, it should hopefully also work on the phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two, two quick questions before we keep going forward. How long do you think until they rename it Office 1 instead of Office 365? And two, what do you think the next word is gonna be? Because right now everyone is naming everything something 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't mean word isn't, oh that's confusing. I don't mean word isn't the program. I mean word isn't how everyone's using the word one. Like everyone's gonna switch at some point. Yeaah. They, I hope. I want, I want word up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think we were, we were talking earlier. Did my whole computer just lock up? Why do I have so many problems with laptops? No, it's all good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway. Um, uh, what was I gonna say? Yeah, we were talking about doing it for the business, but it's really expensive. Because of how many subs we'd have to get.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, that's cool, and I can definitely see it for university kids, because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I'm just so tired of other solutions. Although at the same time, if you just bought whatever release version of Word was released at the beginning of your university life, you could probably use it the entire time through. But then it doesn't have all the other features.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, I see this being more of a feature for people that are gonna have to, like, maybe business kids, that are gonna have to do a lot of collaborative work on big documents, and, and offices. I don't know if it necessarily makes as much sense for us, because we're gonna spend a lot more of our time in video editing software.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even though I save on the server, my massive, massive excel sheet, which like I understand why it's crashing because it's massive, because I keep everything in there, but it can still crash and then that's catastrophic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What other guys are doing? I just saw someone type in Twitch chat. It's not free because it's a subscription, you idiots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is a leak about different, well not really a leak, it's official, uh, about different things that are coming to Windows 8.1 Update 1. They should've just called it Windows 8.2, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Windows Store apps can now open as Windows and can be pinned to the taskbar. That is very cool because it's super frustrating when I open something and like the default program, which I know I can change, but still is a Windows app. And then it's like, how do I even get out of this? How do I get back to what I was doing? Why is it my full screen? All this other junk. So now it can open as, as, as Windows on your desktop, which is nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome! Anyway. That's great. But yea, that's there now which is awesome and again should have been there for a really really long time. Uh, they added media control to store apps in the taskbar although this was definitely already a thing. In Windows 7. But like, they added it to the store apps which is like, okay, well, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That definitely should have just been like an automatic knee-jerk, we need this to be a thing, not a added feature, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Happy that's back. Happy the search is there as well. And then there's also now a tile icon for PC settings. So there's like almost no reason to swipe in from the right anymore because that was super dumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So luckily that's no longer a thing. Uhm, there's now right click context menu for things in the modern UI junk, which hopefully will never be in there anyways. Uhm, and you can like move groups of things around because you can now multi-select by holding control. Again, hopefully it'll just never be in there anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, in modern UI. Yeah, definitely agree. In the rest of the computer, it's like, okay, that makes sense, but that's already a thing. So yeah, I hear you on that. But then again, hopefully you're just never going to use it anyways. So who cares? Let them innovate as much as they want. In the all apps section, things are now highlighted as you guys


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you now click on the start menu, it shows a more classic styled start menu and then it has metro styled, uhm, things on the right, which I actually think is pretty cool. Uhm, and the only place in here where I wasn't like, okay, well, I either hate modern UI and don't use it, so I don't care about any of these changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or uhm, I just installed classic start or some other form of start button and got all these things like directly to desktop anyways. So why does any of this matter? The start menu looks really good. Uhm, it has the old style. Can you share that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. Yeah, I could pin modern apps if I wanted to. Why you even would want to, no one knows. But now you can do it. My thing is now you're not pinning them, but now they open in Windows so they don't disrupt you as much. At least if you accidentally happen to open a modern app, you can just close it.
