[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, thanks to its high capacity battery and it starts at 800 US dollars. Uh, the keyboard is 169 dollars for a keyboard accessory. And the stylus is 100 dollars. So you've spent over a thousand dollars by the time you get even a base 32 gig wifi model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically, I wouldn't recommend buying it. Uhm, I've had some pretty- I've given some pretty positive reviews to Apple devices in the last little while. Uhm, including the iPhone 6s, but this one-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, security stuff, uh, OS updates, uhm, customer support, there's a lot of things wrong with Android right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm super pleased with my new phone. Uh, those of you who aren't following on Vessel won't know this yet, but I have officially switched to the Xperia Z5 Compact. I have done away with the Droid Turbo. It has officially happened after 11 months. Like you're actually gonna switch? That's done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. I'm done. I'm done with the Droid Turbo. I think Terran wants to buy it, so. That would be a good upgrade for Terran. Yup. Yeah, he needs a phone with a camera that works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the Droid Turbo is definitely that. Alright, let's move on to some Intel news. The Broadwell-E, upcoming Broadwell-E specifications have been leaked. This was posted by Mr. Troll on the forum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whose name is appropriate given that it's a news item on LTT Forum, linking to WCCF 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, there's actually, if this is true, and what I will give WCCF Tech and many of the other rumor mill sites out there, what I will give them is that typically, Intel CPU rumors tend to be pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Intel is a very, very structured company and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Generally speaking, their roadmaps, like back when I was working at a retailer,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their roadmaps are pretty far out, and like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if, if they are, if they are going to be arriving, I think, what was it, Q1 2016? Ah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the, uh, the Broadwell EP Xeons are rumored for Q1 2016, with the consumer-grade ones coming, I think it was later in 2016. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would not be unlike Intel to have a year out roadmap that they're showing potential partners under NDA, but of course, how long does it take for WCCF Tech to get their hands on that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, in a nutshell, we are looking at, once again, man, it seems like it took forever for them to get past giving us six cores on that platform, but we are getting ANOTHER two cores for the Top End Extreme Edition. Cool freaking stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, so the top end thousand dollar processor is rumored to be rocking 10 cores and 20 threads at 3 gigahertz so, uh, we're looking at a basically equivalent single threaded performance in all likelihood with


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Essentially in heavily multi-threaded workloads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, non-turboed. And we don't know the turbo. And we don't know turbo clocks. Uhm, so effectively, whatever, 25% performance improvement in heavily threaded workloads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yay, we're getting treated like enthusiasts again. Uhm, and then, this is even more interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of, except that we don't know pricing yet, and that is that, so the 6950X is the extreme edition, the 6900K,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I would have said that, except that this time around, Intel is going to have four SKUs in the enthusiast stack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then we had the 4960x, 4930k, 4920k, and in both of those cases, I believe they were all, it was 6 core, 4 core, 4 core? No, 6 core, 6 core, 4 core, I think. Something along those lines. Anyway, so this time we get 10 core,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so right, so 5960X is 8 core, and then BOTH of the lower ones are 6 core, right, there was no cheap quad core previously, that's right, they were, they were 6 cores, or, uh, sorry, the cheap one is not a quad core this time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 6-core, 6-core. So this time, you get a 10-core, or an 8-core, and then there is no quad-core. Very nice. So you get definitely something for your money investing in an X99 motherboard and quad-core memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quad core, quad channel memory. So this time you definitely get at least two more cores for your money, and you could get up to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we don't know what the pricing's gonna look like. And I wouldn't be that surprised to see Intel pull another Q6600 on us here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, back when they launched their first quad core extreme edition, the QX6700,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened was they initially launched the Q6600, which was their first non-extreme quad core at like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $750 or something like that, like it was quite expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I wouldn't be surprised to see that and then another lower end 6 core with kind of the other 6 core sitting in between that massive price gap that now exists between the 5820k and the 5930k. And the other thing we don't know yet here is how PCI express lanes are going to be handled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So right now, while we do get a 6, a 6, or an 8 core, regardless of how much we spend, that bottom tier 6 core, instead of having 2 fewer cores, has 12 fewer PCIe lanes for worse expansion, if you want to add a bunch of cards to it. So, what I'm guessing,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is we're gonna see that low end 6800k be 6 cores and fewer PCIe lanes. I think we're gonna get a 6 core with all the PCIe lanes in between, like that new one that didn't exist before, that new price point. Then we're gonna have 8 cores with all lanes, then we're gonna have 10 cores with all lanes. Uhm, so that's, that's kinda what it looks like to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really super stoked on Broadwell EP, though. As some of you probably know, I have been getting, I've been getting more and more into Xeon stuff, and like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enjoying all the cores and, you know, whether it's using them for our video editing workflow or whether it's using them for running virtual machines where we took two, two gamers running on one motherboard, which is pretty freaking cool. Uhm, so this is, this is looking interesting and this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the official launch is apparently targeted for Q1 2016, so this is E5 2600 V4, up to 22 cores and 44 threads with up to 55 megabytes of cache per chip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy actual freaking balls. Not to mention that memory speed goes up from 2133 to 2400.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're talking a dual socket machine with up to 44 cores.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I thought it was bananas when we did our 36-core machine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder what excuse I could find to tell Intel that I need 222 cores. I'm gonna have to come up with something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about that- Oh no, those are- Okay, so I do have- Okay, so I've been teasing this for a bit. Okay, we're changing topics a little bit here. So, without revealing too much, I'm going to be building a very interesting machine. Uhm, it will contain- Keep going, I'm just trying to think of how you- Seven-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It will contain two 14 core Xeons. It will contain 256 gigabytes of memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's all gonna be on an Asus workstation motherboard. Uh, the rest of the specs are sort of TBD right now. Uh, because if I, I think if I said anything about the rest of what I'm putting in, it might reveal too much about the project. But expect that project to show up probably sometime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around the end of this year, because let me tell you, it takes a little while to get all of that hardware coordinated, and it's gonna take a fair bit of testing and configuration for me to get this whole thing working. So, my CPUs are here, the RAM arrived today,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The video cards are due next Wednesday and the motherboard is- Asus doesn't communicate. I just kinda go, hey I need this motherboard. And then like, three weeks later it shows up in the mail and I'm like, okay! Hey, we got it! Awesome, we'll do that project now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so stay tuned for that. Speaking of stay tuned, stay tuned for our sponsors! Linda.com! Linda.com is the place to go to learn online if you want to learn about like business or video editing or photography or- I might even be-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, that's right, you wanna get into like, you got like a camera and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Okay. So, uh, so yeaah, Luke's decided to become a camera dork, meaning that I'm gonna be the only one here. Who's like, not a camera, not a camera geek. No. Oh yeaah, I guess Colton and Nick. The business guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And John. I wouldn't be surprised if John knows a thing or two, but he kinda knows a thing or two about everything. That's true. Yeah, I wouldn't be that surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. He's like the jack-hole of all trades. Yeah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so lynda.com, you can get a 10 day free trial and try it out. We're not gonna guarantee that lynda.com is perfect for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you can try it for free, it costs nothing, and then their plan started only 25 bucks a month. So head over to lynda.com slash wandshow, whoops, whether you have a specific goal in mind, like something where you're like, this, I wanna learn this, or whether you just wanna browse around and kind of expand your mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, like, even, even as far as like, should your parents be using Lynda.com? I don't know, are they old? Are they at risk of developing dementia? No, seriously. Yeah, no, this is what I'm saying. Oh, I thought you were like giving me a look, like, are you really gonna sell Lynda.com to potential, like, you know, as a cure for dementia? No, seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a cure, to be clear, but as a preventative measure, yes, being in good physical shape is just as important as exercising your mind as you continue to age and even when you're young, it's always good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of learning things, you might want to learn how to build your own website over on squarespace.com. Not that it's that difficult. Because Squarespace's whole...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spiel is that it's like super easy to- Build it beautiful. Thank you, Luke. Uhm, it starts at only $8 a month and you get a free domain if you sign up for a year. It's trusted by millions, including some of the most respected brands in the world, like Linus Media Group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you doing? What are you doing? Oh, okay. I thought you were gonna like, moon the audience or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when you decide to sign up for Squarespace after your free trial with no credit card required, by the way, make sure to use offer code LINUS to get 10% off of your first


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nope, nope, they're not there. This is so funny. This is so outdated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. So what else do we do? Wow! Oh dear. And unboxing! We straight up don't even do them anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, you know what? Do we do any of these things? So we no longer do commercial production. I don't remember the last time we did one. Me neither. We don't do unboxings. We do do reviews.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been a long time for SteelSeries. We haven't worked with Samsung in over a year. We haven't worked with Linksys since their very first sponsorship of our trip to CES. Three years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we definitely don't work with Hotspot Shield anymore. In fact, that brings us very tidily into our next sponsor, TunnelBear! Dun-dun-dun-dun! Yeah, there were a number of reasons. Actually, there are a number of reasons whenever we drop a sponsor that we end up doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of them is related to complaints from our viewers. When we get complaints, we don't work with our sponsor anymore unless they have a really good reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or unless they address it very well. So start browsing today privately at tunnelbear.com slash LTT. TunnelBear is the easy to use VPN solution that lets you tunnel to up to 16 different countries, allowing you to browse the internet and use online services as if you are in that different country. For free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually that's true. Up to 500 megabytes absolutely for free with unlimited plans starting at $7 a month or $49.99 a year. Which if you can do math...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is a lot less than $7 a month. That's like $30 savings, actually fairly significant. Uh, they've got apps for iOS, Android, PC, and Mac, as well as a Chrome extension. You just pick your country and you go, I wanna be American today!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure someone's done it. Uhm, and you can access American Netflix and Hulu and all that kind of stuff as though you were accessing the internet from that country. Uh, VPNs can also be great for getting around firewalls because they do encrypt your connection and in the case of TunnelBear they're using AES 256-bit encryption.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I guess that's pretty much all there is to say. It's super easy to use, and if you can't use it anyway, their friendly support bears will help you. Their friendly support bears will help you. And you can save 10%. Oh yea, there's an offer code. TunnelBear.com slash LTT.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Is that link there? Yeaah, that link. Go to that link. Yeaah. And try Tunnel Bear today. Yeaah. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's move back onto the, uh, rest of the show here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else are we supposed to talk about today? I don't even know. Oh yeah, Pokemon!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, this is actually- okay, this is really interesting. Okay, he hasn't read this, but- I believe you, I just don't. This is by- posted by Trickstari on the forum. Of course it was! Our resident- our resident of tinfoil hat wearers. This is- this is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It-it's important to be very clear what they are doing. They are not trying to evade taxes for the sake of evading taxes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Presumably at least some of them, okay? Proudly pay their taxes to support their country and the public services that they use. I pay a lot of taxes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Personally and through the business, I pay lots and lots of taxes because I've been working since I was legal age to work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the way the system is supposed to work. Is the system broken? Yes, the system is broken. There are many, many significant issues in Canada and in many other countries, pretty much everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are many significant issues that exist with the way that taxpayer money gets spent. But it's a heck of a lot better than anarchy and so I continue to support it happily and I do not go out of my way to evade any taxes and I'm proud of that. So that's not what these guys are doing either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their point, and this is, this is great. One of the town's traders discovered that he paid seven times more in corporation tax last year than Facebook, which paid 5,000 pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, fine. We're gonna use it, and you got two options. Option number one is, okay, well we're gonna play by those rules and we don't pay taxes anymore. We pay very, very small offshore company taxes. Or option number two is tax those guys! They should be paying tax too! Uhm, so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This loophole allowed the likes of Amazon to pay 11.9 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On 5.3 billion of UK internet sales. Yea, amazon.co.uk is sort of a big site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taxes of 11.9 million on 5.3 billion of sales. Yeah, that's right. Don't worry, it's all good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what, I don't know what Ghost is doing. Me neither. He's drunk. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, the point is, uhm, what Joe Carthew, who runs the local smokerie said, is that until now, complicated offshore tricks have only been open to big companies who can afford the lawyer's fees. Now, we've worked out a way to mimic them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're basically, uh, this is gonna be a part of a documentary in 2016 as part of BBC Britain's Black Economy season. And they're basically going, okay, here's how to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we're starting tax rebellion. If you want to collect any taxes from businesses,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's time to start collecting taxes from everyone in a fair and equitable manner. I love it. This article made me so happy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it makes absolutely no sense that these companies are gonna, are gonna


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, threaten, threaten the government and go, oh well we'll just, we'll just like, stop paying our lobbying dollars and we'll just, we'll move our operations out if you make us paid taxes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, realistically I don't see that happening. But it takes, it takes multiple governments forming a united front against this behavior in order to make it work. And so I, I do sincerely worry that it might not be possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I don't know. Cause it's, I mean, yeah, if you're, if you're Apple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it cheaper for you to pay tax properly on all your income or is it cheaper for you to offer the entirety of your Silicon Valley campuses a massive relocation bonus to move to Canada or move to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, like I don't know, I don't know how far this would escalate before it ended. And I don't know what the landscape would look like when it was over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, this is, this is actually, I have to confess, I had not heard of this. So this was posted on the forum by, oh no, I don't have a forum post, this is just an Ars Technica link.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, beware of ads that use inaudible sound to link your phone, TV, tablet and PC. So privacy advocates warn the feds about surreptitious cross-device tracking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, this will tell data miners so much more about you personally than was possible before because, I mean, when we talked about this, let's talk about the iPad Pro again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's certain things that make sense to do on a tablet, and there's certain things that don't make sense to do on a tablet. So, for example, if an advertiser, uh, let's say, let's say, oh, I don't know, let's say Google, okay? Let's say you don't use Chrome on your desktop, but you use Chrome on your iPad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if all that Google knows about you is that you, uh, read game reviews and you go to Pornhub,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they'll go, okay, gamer porn enthusiast and they might, you know, try to figure out based on some, you know, uh, emails you send here and there, how old you are and what your gender is and all that kind of stuff. So they've created a profile for you. But what they might not know about you is that you watch, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And when? That you love watching Mad Men on TV, and that you're- And whether or not you mute the ads. That's right. So, so, there's all these things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they can't know about you unless they know all about your devices. The example given in the Ars Technica article, which was excellent, was maybe you would research STDs on your computer and then search for a sexual health clinic on your phone and then you would travel there and come back and then like now all of a sudden it could go, okay,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had an STD, you went and got treated, and now you're back home and maybe you're better now or maybe you're not and it can continue to track your searches. Like, being able to track you across devices raises some serious privacy concerns. Uhm, especially because tracking you across devices tells them


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly who you are, there's pretty much no way to anonymously submit data like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went here, I went there, I live here, uhm, it's not anonymous anymore, and this is the scariest thing about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Silver Push's software is used by 67 apps. Which, we don't know what those apps are, but totals 18 million smartphones. Yep. And they've basically, what they've basically said is it is against our policy to disclose what apps are using our technology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? So any app that asks for your microphone and speaker permissions? Potentially, I don't know. Any of 67 apps? Dun, dun, duuuun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, original poster here is Tangra, and the original article is from Ars Technica, once again. Oh my goodness. I love Ars Technica. So, this is so funny, this is so funny. I called this on Wanshow last week, I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It will take no time flat for the Linux army to attack my Steam Machine review.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And tell me about how I'm missing the point because you can enable desktop mode and the blah blah blah linux master race etc. Uhm, so it took like a matter of minutes and I actually tweeted about it when it happened but someone said something along the lines of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aw crap. Anyway, one of their points was that Linux game performance and SteamOS game performance is actually very similar to Windows. When I used the word


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Significant performance tax or significant performance penalty or something along those lines. Uhm, A, that wasn't my point in the video at all because what I was really talking about was the Steam Machines


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How successful the Steam Machine was at targeting the demographic that Valve seems to be targeting with it. So it was completely, I didn't even run any performance numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you're wrong about the other thing, because, whether it's Linux we're talking about, or whether it is driver issues, the performance tax, so they were saying there was no performance tax, or it wasn't significant. The word I used was significant. This has a very specific meaning, by the way. Uhm, it is significant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Middler's Shadow of Mordor, ouch. Uhm, so whether it's drivers, actually, I thought there were, oh yea, no, there are more. Middler's Shadow of Mordor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And even Valve's own games with Portal falling behind by like 30% are not running on par. And the blame is probably, uh, in some cases probably the game developer, but in many cases probably not. And the blame probably falls mostly with the graphics card makers. But the cold hard truth is, hold on, I'm gonna see if I can find a source for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, unfortunately I can't find a source for it, but, so I'm not gonna give the number, but someone was telling me that they had heard, uh, they'd heard AMD say something along the lines of, uh, that the, the, the Linux driver download percentage was very, very, very, like, lower than you'd think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very, very low. The people who actually desire to run discrete graphics cards and Linux is very, very low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was really excited. Uhm, I, I was actually like really, really excited by SteamOS when I first heard about it too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, so I, and, and valves, like valves conviction, uhm, in their, in their,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In their movement to, to bring gaming to a more open platform and, and I still admire Valve's commitment, uhm, to bring their titles and to encourage other developers to bring their own titles to SteamOS to run on Linux natively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what's cool is for most gamers, remember, most gamers are still running 1080p or lower. Okay, so most gamers with decent hardware, and remember they could afford a hundred extra dollars on a graphics card potentially if they don't buy Windows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, there goes your performance tax right there, you just buy better hardware potentially. So most gamers running at 1080p, uhm, are not going to, are not going to demand the kinds of experiences that for now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things like VR or multi-monitor, multi-monitor, i-finity gaming. Like some of those things that just don't work on Linux due to driver support right now, they're not gonna need them. And, and there, and there is potential for that movement to continue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that ties in really well with the end of my point, which is as much as I admire Valve's effort, and I hope for success for Linux gaming in general,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think SteamOS is the answer because SteamOS is an arrow with no bullseye to move towards. Like it doesn't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What it's targeting. It thinks it's targeting mainstream gamers, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, then it throws a controller at you that not only is different from any controller you've ever held, but requires you to-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but if I'm gonna play like Dirt Showdown. Yeah, exactly. I do not wanna- I wanna plug in my controller and I never even wanna open up the controller submenu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, yeaah, I'm gonna wanna tinker, but I don't wanna have to tinker. Uncertain gaming experiences are worth the effort of tinkering, quite frankly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just that for me like a racing game or like a third, a third person exploring game is, that's when I'm just like chilling. And it's, it's all my brain can do to solve whatever Lara Croft's breast physics puzzle of the day is or whatever else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's uh, teespring.com slash when christmas. And you can get it in a variety of colors. We actually went out of our way to choose ugly colors. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's kind of the point. It's kind of the point. They're called ugly Christmas sweaters. Yep. Now to be clear, they are not sweaters. They're just t-shirts, or excuse me, they're just sweatshirts, but they're ugly. What's the difference between a sweater and a sweater?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Pokemon Generation 1 coming into the 3DS. There's an announcement video, you guys can check that out if you're into that sort of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did not own a Game Boy or Game Boy Color, I have definitely played through Pokemon Blue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I think we talked about that. Uhm, you know what is sort of unrelated to this, but I kinda wanted to touch on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently they're doing an HD remake of Twilight Princess?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was, I was gonna, oh wow, crap. On Netlink Daily, on the NCIX channel, I was like ripping into them about doing HD remakes of a game that would have been HD if the frickin' console had had any decent hardware in it. Which is still true. By the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's so brutal. But I really, oh I didn't realize it wasn't that old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my goodness. Uhm, T-Mobile is apparently going to let you stream some video for free. Another bold move. So they're calling it Bin John. Man, does he not look like some kind of serial rapist in every picture?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should talk more about the T-Mobile thing, actually. So, YouTube, unfortunately not included, neither is Twitch, they did say they are working with YouTube, but, Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, Vessel, HBO Go, and Sling TV are supporting


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, we have a large kitchen stock with snack food. I don't put the snack food in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, sorry, back to the T-Mobile thing. I wasn't, dammit, I wasn't done with that. So, it is, it is, it is speculated that the reason that the uncapped video streaming is only offered on certain services is that it requires some backend work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To compress the data so that, you know, T-Mobile isn't gonna be stuck with the bill for putting a bunch of 1080p fricking YouTube videos all over the place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so the idea is that it will be optimized for a small screen, which makes a whole ton of sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that's really cool that Vessel supported. I guess it kind of makes sense cause it looks like Hulu is also supported and Vessel is the former, uh, former founder I believe or CEO at least of Hulu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, which is kind of cool because, like, I just kind of chat with him sometimes, and... He was in the meeting. Yea, it's like... He's a super smart dude. He's a super down to earth guy, super smart guy, and it's just like I kind of forget when I'm talking to him that he's probably a multi-bagillionaire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's really funny, a lot of people on our forum underestimate the number of people watching our videos on Vessel, and the impact that Vessel has had on our business, and underestimate Vessel's chances at continued survival. They are not stupid, they are not new, and they are not going away. So, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a little tidbit for ya. Uhm, I guess that's pretty much it. You need to do a shoutout for desertbus.org.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it is Pacific Daylight Time. Or wait, no, it is Pacific Standard Time. Dammit! Yes, it's Standard Time right now, right? Yeah. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, on the subject of cool people doing cool stuff, I have done it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not me, I didn't do anything cool. Uhm, but what I did do is I put together a list of the cool people and the cool things that they did, and the after party today is gonna be all about the honorable mentions and winners of Ultra Wide Festival. So, thank you for tuning in to the WAN Show today, and that is the outro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, Wibby Wobby Woo, we are live with only a few technical difficulties this week. Yes, my friends, only a few. But, we moved the Wanshow logo, it is no longer over top of Luke's head, now it is over top of mine. It's not over your head. Okay. It's, it's a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Well I'm short. Are you sitting up taller than usual? No, I'm not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so welcome to the WAN Show, guys. We've got a great show ahead of us today, I hope. And, uh, we've actually had, honestly, actually, okay, we probably do have a great show ahead of us because this has been one of those weeks where I'm averaging about four hours of sleep a night. Um, because I have been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Working my butt off on a couple of things to just kind of kick ass and get us ahead of the eight ball for the first time since we've moved in. Like we actually had some content buffered when we started moving. And then of course,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We used it all. Like, we, we, we burned that so hard when we moved. And then since then, I don't know if any of you guys have ever moved before, but it's horrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like you move for three days and then you kinda go, aww yeah. I'm gonna relax on the front porch with my glass of like, lemonade and my, you know. I like the lemonade choice. Yeah, the lem- lemonade and I got like, my neighbor boy mowing the lawn and it's like, whatever. No, no, no, no, no, no, it's not like that. So we have been moving, since we moved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're still, yeaah, there's still a lot of stuff being sorted out. There's still a lot of stuff, but there's a lot that's taken care of, and it's gotten to the point where this week, I was able to only do a few moving things, I was able to do all the videos that I normally need to do, and get two full extra LTTs shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, stay tuned because they're, they're actually both good. Del sent us a ruggedized tablet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is rated for being dropped almost a meter while in operation. Uh, not to mention that it has a capacitive touch screen that operates with water on it. So that's cool. Wait, we're supposed to do the intro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The worst thing about that is that in the context of how much money Bell makes selling you their service and their apps, it's really just pennies. But that's a whole other conversation, which I guess we should do after the intro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so basically Luke has a really cool build blog that he's working on. Actually, it is gonna be a crazy awesome


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of period of time here for, for video content. Uh, starting this weekend, uh, YouTube is getting the Scrapyard Wars Season 3 premiere. Right. Vessel is getting- Tomorrow night. Yep. Vessel's getting Episode 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, uh, YouTube is getting the dual headed gaming machine build. Did you watch it? That thing is so cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so we've got a single box, two gamers playing a battlefront on it at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I just finished shooting my video of the X34 Predator LCD, so that's Acer's 34-inch curved, ultrawide G-Sync, 100Hz monitor, it's freaking bananas. Uhm, I just finished filming that Dell ruggedized tablet that you can like kick around and like, uh, get this, not just waterproof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not just, not just water resistant like rain, but uh, jets of water from any direction. That's the ingress protection rating on this thing. I am so stoked to put it through the paces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, I guess we should do topics? Like what was I talking about before the intro? I'm sorry, I'm super sleep deprived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so we are, we are finally going to be back ahead in terms of the content, which means we're not like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, uhm, the server room updates video took forever. It took way longer than it was supposed to. So recycling your electronics was one that I've kinda had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my mind, for the better part of a year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, that got kicked in the head, and that became just a normal LTT release.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, which was, which was easy, but you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's really funny? About that video, it really didn't do well on release.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But over time, it's actually still, so a week after its release, more than a week after its release, it's still holding steady at about 4,000 views a day. That is very, very strong. So in the long term, that video may actually do really well. That's just good. Sometimes I think- We need less firetruck. I see how less firetruck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay, so Linus, final answer. Here, no, I'm gonna, I'll screen share this with you guys because this is a thing I've done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, best type of CPU cooler? The final answer. It depends. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Core i7 vs Xeon, which is better? Final answer, it depends. AMD vs Intel, final answer. I remember that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes, AMD versus Nvidia, final answer. Sometimes, that's the answer. The answer is people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, five, five years ago was the, uh, Intel versus AMD one. We could totally redo that, cause that was on the NCIX Tech Tips channel anyway. But the thing is that people don't understand about this fanboy crap, is that it's not that simple. People are like, don't Nvidia cards run hot? Sometimes. Some cards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, 480 was a furnace in your tower. I know because I ran four of them in a half X at the time and it was ridonkulous. They didn't throttle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we gave them a fighting chance. Uhm, sorry, I don't remember where I was going with that anymore. Right, right, right, right, right. The answer is not that simple. Life is rarely that simple. What car should I buy? I don't know. Do you need a, do you need a truck bed?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe she's introverted. Maybe, okay, so introverted chicks who are into a guy with a well-paying job that has him away from home a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we're getting really specific. Alright, so let's jump into our first topic of the day. This one is from Ars Technica. Uh, are you dropping links? Sure. That was my way of saying, yo, drop the links. I know. We communicate so well now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is really scary. University of Cambridge study finds 87% of Android devices are insecure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The study blames the OEMs for lack of updates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And ranks Nexus devices as the most secure, which shouldn't be a device, uh, which shouldn't be a surprise for a couple of reasons. Number one,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The obvious reason that Google is responsible for updating Nexus devices directly. Number two, the less obvious and more unsettling reason is that the Nexus program hasn't been around that long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. So Google commits support for Nexus devices for I believe it's two years. So there just aren't that many Nexus devices that are outside of the support period, which isn't saying that the Nexus program solves the problem. At all. Like, at all. This is really brutal. Yeah, I mean this is just brutal stuff. What else you got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, there you go. But that's security updates, not new versions of Android. Right, but still security updates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you could end up still on a very current for you phone that's within your contract period so you're not eligible for a device upgrade that is not still getting security updates. And this has really come to a head because of some of the really scary Android exploits that have cropped up lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what's the answer? Well, the answer is actually pretty obvious. Uh, both Apple and Microsoft with their recent FU to the US carriers. Yeah, that was awesome. Is that in here? Which is awesome. Yeah, yeah, it's in there. We should, maybe we'll move on to, you wanna bring that up and we'll do that as our next topic? Uhm, both Apple and Microsoft have the answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just have to, well, say F you to the carriers, and start, and to the OEMs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that, I mean that might not be something, that, that, that's such a double edged sword for Google. So one,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Screw the carriers. No one cares about what they think. And two, you have to be delivering your security updates from a central service the way that both Apple with iOS and Microsoft with Windows 10 are going to be doing. The problem is that part of the Android


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Benefit that the double-edged sword that is Android is that it gives the device


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Makers, the flexibility to implement their own upgrades and their own tweaks and their own user experience enhancements, like whether it's, uh, multi-window support or whether it's enhanced, I mean little, even just little stupid things, like LG's enhanced copy-paste is awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like so awesome, it just comes with, it just comes with a clipboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clipboard tray. It's like, yay, this is cool. Or, I mean, just little things, like the way that Motorola, I love showing this off because it is so cool. The way that Motorola lets you just flick a couple times and turn on your flashlight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or wiggle and turn on the camera, like my camera launches faster than any other, anyone else because I can be wiggling it as I lift it up to my face and my camera app is launched. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, like, I get the argument from the Android handset maker side where they're like, uh, you know what, actually our margins are really slim and we straight up can't afford the dev time if you're gonna expect us to release a new device X, Y, or Z.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what, the answer to that then is you have to charge more. You can't just keep slashing your price in order to stay competitive and just kind of say


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yolo, screw it to the customers who already bought your products. And the really disappointing part of all of this is, you know, that it's not just the little guys. Like, I get it if ZTE or like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, what would be an example of like a small- anyway, I get it if your little-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your little companies, your OnePlus or whatever. If they're kinda going, yeah, we have an enthusiast phone, we expect people to update their OS themselves or whatever, we're charging a rock bottom price for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get it if they're kinda taking that stance and that sucks for their users but hopefully they go into that knowing what they're getting. But for the giants like Samsung, it's totally inexcusable to be spending your billions of dollars on marketing the next big thing when you're not actually taking care of the last freakin' big thing properly. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could be a huge, huge factor for Windows mobile adoption.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it still needs app support, but, but, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, well I mean looking at the, uh, the Ars, the Ars graph has a great, uh, has a great graphic here too. So it's, I mean this isn't new. That's the whole point. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, going back to April 2012, it was the same as it is today, in October 2016.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's, there's stuff that I hate about the, the iPhone and Windows Phone experiences. The fact that with iOS, you must have an iPhone, which means if you want decent battery life, you better put some kludgy, stupid Mophie case over top of it. It's like, thank you, Joni Ive, for your beautiful industrial design that just, that isn't functional. Camera bump!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lose the camera bump and fill it with battery. What a concept. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But whatever, it's not artistic enough or something. Uhm, and then Windows Phone, I mean I think my problems with Windows Phone are fairly well documented at this point. Speaking of the iPhone though, let's bring up Chipgate, the iPhone 6s controversy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm just gonna pull up Austin's video on it, which has about 500,000 views. Yes, this is something that a lot, that's an ad. Well, we're supporting Austin, right? Cool. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so basically, in a nutshell, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apple couldn't get enough chips, or didn't want to, for whatever reason, buy all of their chips from a single source. Because the reality of it is, there's only a handful of manufacturers on the planet, Apple not being one of them, who can actually fabricate


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Semiconductors, like that is micro, microprocessors at the latest manufacturing process nodes. So Intel is one of them, and you can bet that Intel isn't gonna run around making iPhone CPUs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Samsung is another one, and as unlikely a partnership as that seems, Samsung is actually one of the sources for the iPhone 6s. TSMC is another one, Global Foundries, the spinoff from AMD's old manufacturing is another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can't remember what happened, we actually talked about this on Wanshow, but I can't remember what happened to IBM's, IBM's junk, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blah, blah, blah, chip fabrication. I think they might have sold to global founders, if I recall correctly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, anyway, there's only a handful of companies you can make them from, and usually,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you go with one or the other because it requires a significant amount of re-engineering of the chip itself in order to utilize someone else's manufacturing process. And in the case of Samsung and TSMC, we are actually talking about them not even quite


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which actually means that TSMC's chip is slightly physically larger even.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Apple had to do a metric crap ton of work. Now to be clear, a smaller manufacturing process does not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always mean, uh, you know, faster transistor switching, so that's the frequency, the megahertz. It does not always mean that. It doesn't always mean less or more heat output. Uh, perfect example of that was- Oh crap, I am drawing a complete blank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if I recall correctly, heat output was a bit of an issue on early Ivy Bridge, but don't, don't quote me on that. Anyway, the point is that you don't always get this, shrinking it was good for a long time, and then it started to get to the point where shrinking it more caused higher heat density.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was harder to dissipate because you just don't have a whole lot of area to slap a heatsink on anymore. So it's, it's a very, very complicated equation. And at the end of the day, so for whatever reason, Apple is dual sourcing their A9 processors from TSMC and from Samsung.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's awesome. So basically, uh, YouTuber Austin Evans tested both and saw that TSMC's hardware, uh, was capable of a longer battery life in his test. So he was using an app called Lirum that identifies which processor a phone has.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you pull a reference number and it tells you exactly what code corresponds to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The app was, by the way, pulled temporarily due to compatibility issues and is being put back up. That's according to the doc, I'm not sure if it's back up yet. I also know that it was free and it showed up again as a paid app, so there's that as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Apple actually did issue a statement, and one of these days YouTubers are gonna stop, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fabric, that manufactured lab tests, which run the processors with a continuous heavy workload until the battery depletes, are not representative of a real world use case scenario, uh, which on Android, they wouldn't be able to say, because I've certainly, I've certainly managed that with stupid power hogging apps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since they spend an unrealistic amount of time at the highest CPU performance state, it is a misleading way to measure real world battery life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be clear, by manufactured, we're meaning like synthetic. Like, like not real world actual usage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uplated the video, ran Geekbench, and so at the end of that, the Samsung iPhone was reading 55% battery and the TSMC iPhone was reading 62%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a thing to understand too is that even from chip to chip from the same manufacturer off of the same freaking wafer


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see significant variations. I mean, that's why, you know, the Core i7 5960X exists and the 5820K also exists. They're the same damn thing. They come off of the same wafer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, some are better than others, and that's life. Some of them run at, I mean Intel for example, this happened a couple generations ago now, they stopped rating their processors at a fixed default voltage. It's a range now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you buy a CPU for your desktop, it could run at slightly lower or higher power consumption than the one in your, in your phone. So that shouldn't really surprise anyone, but that hasn't kept the usual knee-jerk reaction of, of, you know, re-product recall, class action lawsuit from, from kind of cropping up. It's just, if Apple only advertises the lower of the two,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, it's more of a, yay I got a bonus, than I got ripped off by buying, you know, luck of the draw I got the wrong one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I mean, I guess with all of that said, so we got all the factual stuff out of the way, uhm, what's your take on this? Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bearing in mind that Apple's return policy is excellent, would you return it and roll the dice again? Probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, would you feel like you're entitled to class action whatever the heck if you're a bunch of people stuck with Samsung chips now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually haven't tested my, my success yet. Uhm. You should do it right now. No, it's, you have to do a bunch of crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought you just downloaded an app and checked. I, no, the, the, well, okay, it might be now. When I first looked, you had to download an app and you had to do a bunch of other stupid crap and register on something or whatever. Yeaah, screw it, I don't really care that much. Uhm, but what I did notice is that compared to my 6, I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doing better, at the end of the day, in terms of battery life, when Apple is not making any claims about the 6S having better battery life than the 6. So maybe, I got a bonus. Maybe I got a TSMC chip. But I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, so my, my, my take on this is that, uhm, a, the class action isn't gonna work, uh, it's not like this has never been done before, uh, in video with the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 960M, I wanna say, was using either Maxwell or Kepler, uh, depending on which notebook model you were buying. I'm gonna double check which- Oh, that's gross. I'm gonna double check that, uh-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, maybe it's not the 960, maybe it's not the 960.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was it the 860M or something like that? 860M Kepler versus Maxwell. Yea, it was the, it looks like it was the 860M. Uhm, where, here we go. So here's Notebook Check. Uhm, I don't know how comprehensive their benchmarks are or anything like that, but I think they've got, yea, they've got 860M Kepler versus Maxwell, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's have a look here, uh, 45.2 FPS, 49.6 FPS in Unigine Heaven. So here, Maxwell is actually significantly faster in certain workloads, slower in others,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, here we go. Real word games. So the Kepler comes out ahead. Maxwell comes out ahead. They kind of trade blows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The advantage I guess that Nvidia had in that case was that you couldn't read a review.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of that notebook and get a different thing. Because it was by model of notebook. So MSI's model XYZ might have Kepler and ASUS' model ABC might have Maxwell. Whereas with the iPhone 6S, there is, and Apple must understand this, there is more to it than just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The manufacturer's rated spec, be all and end all, as much as they'd love for that to be the case. There's reviewers. There's independent media out there testing these things. So if, if it came to light, for example, that, I know Apple doesn't seed a ton of devices directly, but if it came to light that Apple


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went out of their way to seed a bunch of TSMC phones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if Apple collaborated with reviewers for reviews of the iPhone 6s to be done, and it is represented in a way that is not indicative of what the consumer will actually receive,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they could have a real problem on their hands, but I think it's probably gonna take years for all of this to play out, and by then we'll be bored of talking about it, and people may or may not get their $20 check in the mail, and that'll basically be that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are asking who my favourite hockey team is. Toronto Maple Leafs. Just kidding, Leafs totally suck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is with people asking like all these deep questions in Twitch chat? It's like Twitch chat has forgotten what they are. Linus, if you never got into computers, what do you think you would be doing with your life? Uhm, I would probably be an elementary school teacher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, teacher because I've always liked presenting, I've always, I've always liked, I've always been good at sort of taking things and turning them into something other people can understand, which is kind of sort of what I do now. And then, uhm, elementary school because I'm just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I'm not smart enough to teach, like, university or high school, but I definitely have a firm enough understanding of the next two levels up to teach elementary school, so that's probably what I would have gone with. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I got a whole lot of screw you Linus. What do you mean screw you Linus? Even, even Mike Babcock cannot make the Leafs good. I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even, even all the, how, what was his, uh, here, hold on. Uh, what was the Mike Babcock contract?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, cause that was like horrendous. Wasn't it like 70 million or something ridiculous like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, no matter how much money you spend, honestly, I think the coach's salary, in cases like this, where you're doing like blockbuster coaching deals, I think it should cost against your cap hit. Because if the whole idea behind the salary cap is that you want to increase parity in the league,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't want people running around, spending 56, so what is it, 8 year deal at 6.25 million on the coach, and like, all this crap, uhm, you know, like, like these, these, these, these other staff to like, make the players better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I mean, what that said, whether a salary cap has a place in professional sports is a whole other argument that I'm not getting into. I'm just saying that if you're gonna have a salary cap, and if you're going to, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play that song that's all about equality and every team having equal chance at a Stanley Cup, then it should also apply to the rest of the staff on the ice.

[Assistant] What the crap? Okay, well this is, this super, super pissed me off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, for a number of reasons. Uhm, NVIDIA, GeForce, Experience, GameDay, Driver. Sorry, I'm just, I'll find some article and I'll bring it up for you guys. Oh look, it's Ars Technica again. These guys are awesome. I love Ars Technica. They're actually like my favorite tech news site. Uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than LinusTechTips.com where you can also discuss with members of the LinusTechTips community. The Ars Technica articles that we link to. Uhm, so the latest G- and the latest Nvidia drivers to be locked behind GeForce Experience. So it's pretty unusual for Nvidia to do a whole press briefing conference call thing about anything that isn't hardware.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. And they're really good at doing that. Because it gives us something to talk about when we're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not as high as the 960 and 970 that we already have if we're willing to shell out some more money. Uhm, so, so it gives the press something to like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An actual story to tell, which is great. Uhm, but they did one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I talked to Luke and John, who attended this call, and the report was something along the lines of- To be fair, I figured out there was no hardware coming out, and I bailed early. Oh, right. Okay, and then John's report was something along the lines of, this is the most boring briefing ever. And he used to work- he used to work in law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now to be clear, it's not like you can't use a throwaway email address.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Putting any impediment in the way of a driver is horrible. I mean, I don't think I've ever ripped on Adaptech for this before. Adaptech turns off their download driver servers outside of business hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was in the middle of the night, reformatting a server, trying to get, got my new OS on it, I'm trying to get my array back online, and I cannot install drivers for my raid card. Are you for real?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I mean, any reason for, you know, downloadrepository.com, which probably exists, and maybe it's legit, but it probably isn't, any reason for those sites to never have to exist ever again is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hiding your drivers behind, and even just stupid stuff like wasting my time. Why do I have to download off your site and then click update in GeForce experience and wait for another download and another install? It's stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, once you install within GeForce Experience, at least you don't- Does that have anything to do with your email? At least you don't have to restart. No, that's- that's just crappy across the board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was complaining about them wasting my time, because I can give them a throwaway email. I don't care. But, wasting my time...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So again, in Nvidia's defense, their older non-game-ready drivers from our recent driver through the driver improvements through the ages showdown are pretty good. In Nvidia's defense, again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their quarterly, wickle, complete package drivers absolutely crush how often AMD is doing it right now, but that leaves us...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, no I know, I completely agree, the email is rubbish and that's stupid and this shouldn't exist. But, but all those other things...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically lead me to my final point. If AMD was competitive, this wouldn't be happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the kind of crap that doesn't happen


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Nvidia has to kinda look at their, you know, also has 40% of the market and a very competitive product, and this could, this could push consumers over the edge. If Nvidia doesn't have to worry about AMD breathing down their neck,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people kind of go, you know, Nvidia needs AMD to keep their prices fair. You know what, I think Nvidia has kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, they've got free reign to ask for your personal information and to waste your time because what else are you gonna buy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's, that's basically the long and short of that one. I don't like it. You shouldn't like it. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do because I want game-ready drivers, so I guess I'll be downloading them through GeForce.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like The Verge used to be cool. You guys used to be cool. And like, now you're really not being that cool right now. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Auto-park, so it'll scan for parking spots. Yep. They're saying this is, this is- That's a beta feature by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically, it's, it's kind of, it's kind of coming along, uhm, they're going to be continuously uploading real world sensor data from the 7.0 equipped vehicles to continue to improve it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's four sensor types on the car that they're going to be utilizing here. Forward radar, forward facing camera, 360 degree ultrasonic sensors, and a GPS combined with their high resolution navigation maps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the whole fleet will kind of hive mind to each other and allow themselves to learn to drive better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, alright, we've got, I think we're gonna kind of bundle four news topics into one here. So, AMD reports their third quarter results, so the original article here was from MarketWatch. Uh, basically, they're not good, but if you look at it quarter over quarter instead of year over year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I guess the revenue growth is nice, but they're still losing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, AMD is spinning off their backend testing and assembly operations into a joint venture for 371 million, so, you know, back to, uh, back to the whole, back to the whole, uh, oh crap. I think it was Jerry Sanders III, real men have fabs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AMD now not only doesn't have fabs, they don't have the assembly plant for taking the silicon and turning it into chips. They are going full fabless. Uhm, but the good news is that this gets rid of, I think it was something like 1700 employees that are no longer on payroll. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, joint venture with, uh, oh crap, now I forget. Uh, Fujitsu? Yeah, that's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so there you go, so there's that. So, so more bad news for AMD, and actually some bad news for Intel. They report flat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because as much as they're still making, you know, 65% gross margin on their 14.6 billion dollars of revenue,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, which I think was something along the lines of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forget what net profit was, it was in the notes. Do you have it? I do not see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm not sure. Net profits were still very, very, very good. Uh, but... Growth is very important. Growth is important. It means you're innovating. It means your customers are inspired. They're coming back for more. I was just gonna say...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not surprised either, which ties into the last- the last- oh. Apparently this linked to, uh, CTV news.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, is dead, unfortunately. So there's, basically the synopsis is, uh, Intel, HP,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, PC does what campaign? There we go. Ha! Ars Technica's site is working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yay ours! Cringeworthy PC does what campaign wants you to upgrade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so because Intel has been building more power-efficient desktop chips and hasn't necessarily been that focused on, you know, dramatically improving performance, and I mean, there's, there's another issue is that there's not a whole lot of things that you would want to do on a PC today that you couldn't do on a PC from three to four years ago, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So help make more things, and I mean it's not like they're not trying, I mean there's those cameras with the depth sensor that I can't imagine what anyone but a game streamer would use for anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, that will, but in the meantime, we have PC Does What campaign, uh, and it's Dell, HP, Intel, Lenovo, and Microsoft contributing to this with no specific...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like product that they're trying to sell and the idea is just to educate apparently very mainstream users. This is a mainstream user, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, according to this campaign, to educate mainstream users about what a PC does and why you might give a crap about it. So there's a PC. That's something someone would do. That's the, wow, that's, I hadn't actually watched it yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, most helicopter pilots probably have a laptop in their...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That has like, but the problem is we come up with stuff that she's not interested in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mind you, I don't think she's interested in flying a helicopter with a computer in her lap either. No one should be interested in that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's assuming that we have helicopters with like, Bluetooth dashboard stereos. Oh, you do. Do they? There's badass. Okay, okay, like luxury. That wasn't a luxury helicopter. That was like the Coast Guard. No, it was a rescue helicopter. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you just say for usually? Because that actually would have been awesome in that case. We use boats for usually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awww, this is, this is bad. Uhm, oh, whoops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this is, this is some ugly stuff. So this is over on Engadget. Uh, Belle, as much as sometimes they're our friends because my reception, except here at the office where we had to get a cell booster,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Belle shares towers with TELUS in the east, and TELUS shares towers with Belle in the west.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could be, it could be your phone too. Uhm, something that almost no one, it's really funny, someone almost, almost no one covers this in phone reviews anymore because reception is for the most part fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the Droid Turbo has terrible reception, uh, at least for me, because as a Verizon phone, I'm not 100% sure if it supports all of Bell's bands. Yeah. So, so that, that is, that is a major factor. That could totally be it, because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically they had kind of crap ratings until some employees were, uh, according to the regulator, encouraged to post glowing testimonials of the My Bell and Virgin My account apps to both the App Store and Google Play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so it was exposed by Scott Stratton, who was aware of the app's poor standing on iTunes, and he suddenly saw the ratings skyrocket due to a series of five-star reviews, and then did some digging on LinkedIn, found out that the most praiseworthy mentions were directors, marketing managers, and other paid people by Bell Canada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And... Yeah, forced the company to admit that certain employees had been encouraged to post the ratings, but as soon as bosses were made aware, they ended the practice. Come on!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm glad that this sets a precedent in Canada for this thing. This is the first time a company has faced significant monetary fines for biased reviews in Canada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which would be enough to bankrupt Linus Media Group and Linus forever. But is not a drop in the bucket for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to the tune of one point whatever million dollars, I don't think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I guess that's the kind of stakes that you play with when you're a national telecommunications company. It's like, yeah, I'm a high roller, so, whatevs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, speaking of being a high roller,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or whatevs. Uh, we have sponsors for the show today. But I'm going to tell you guys about all Hyrule and me. So Logitech...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So do all the Americans out there making fun of us- Sorry. Oh yeah? Well, in what order do the Canadian provinces that are all the same shape go across? Yeah, that's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're not, no, no, they're not exactly the same shape, but I, but when you were doing your test or whatever in grade four, it was, I had, I had trouble, I couldn't remember which one was shaped like this and which one was exactly flat. Mind you, that shouldn't be hard. The one with the flat lines is the one with the flat surface.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uh, Nick is apparently watching Wanshow instead of doing work, and uh, has told us that it was in Washington.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're also sitting right in front of the set today, which a couple of you complained about last week, so we took your complaints and we put them in a fire. We added colors to your complaints. We added colors to your complaints.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also sponsoring the show today is Squarespace. Thank you. Your site will look professionally designed regardless of your skill level. Okay, within reason. I mean if you go and like- You can try to make it bad. You can change your font to Comic Sans. You can draw all your own images in a page.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would be hilarious. Hold on, because the internet is gonna take care of it for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do the right thing. A vote yes for Comic Sans is a vote for Donald Trump. Wow!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not fair at all. It's not fair at all, but that's how elections work. I'm gonna win now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? No, I think it- I think we can all agree that Comic Sans is a joke, and Donald Trump's campaign is a joke. What? We can't all agree on this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they have intuitive, easy to use tools and fantastic templates for making your site look great, whether it's on a phone, on a laptop, or on a promotional billboard. It's trusted by millions of people and some of the most respected brands in the world. I certainly hope that like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It starts at $8 a month and you get a free domain if you sign up for a year. Start your free trial today with no credit card required at squarespace.com and use offer code minus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, uh, just like a personal website promoting what a fantastic personality you have that isn't abrasive at all, you can use Squarespace.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, but that's billed a- yearly. Ahhhh. Yeaah, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so that's tunnelbear.com slash LTT.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, no, Nick's like, yeah, sorry I forgot my bad, please don't fire me. Or something along those lines. It's gonna happen though, so, you know, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay, sorry. You know what? I guess we'll have to both be fired if anyone's gonna be fired because, uh, he missed putting the starting prices in the dock, and I missed telling you you can save 10% if you go to tunnelbear.com slash LTT for your plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm. Let's do the Uber thing, that's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, original article here is from TechCrunch, and this is some pretty freakin' Smurf stuff right here. Uber takes on delivery- yeah, Smurf means good. Don't worry about it. Uhm, it's a Family Guy reference, you wouldn't understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought that was called sandbag. Sandbagging?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, smurf account. No, I've heard that before. I've heard it in that context. I haven't heard it called smurfing, but I've heard it called a smurf account.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, anyway, Uber takes on the, uh, the package delivery services with Uber Rush. An on-demand delivery service. This looks freaking awesome. So basically they built an infrastructure of people driving around. The whole chat's like set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you know what? No. Sandbagging is deliberately underperforming- Oh yea, no this is right. So having an account that deliberately underperforms to gain an unfair advantage in future matches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was women's badminton, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the last Summer Olympics, I wanna say, 2012, uh, throw match, something, something along those lines. Yeah, here we go. Uh, so this was in... Oh, bloody hell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't remember. Anyway, the video is amazing. This like, professional badminton players playing on like, my level. Just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not even trying. So, and the reason was that they already knew the results of another match, another couple matches and they wanted to fall in a better place in the bracket so they'd have a better chance of going through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We still don't even have Uber in Canada thanks to the taxi mafia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's focused on local shops for the moment, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I utilize this vehicle and bike couriers to deliver things quickly. So Uber drivers can pick up passengers and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] packages but can't do both at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so businesses basically don't have to pay Uber to sign up for Uber Rush, but each delivery will cost the merchant between five and seven dollars, which is not bad when you consider that it happens right away. So Business Insider tried the New York City pilot, and a reporter had a raincoat she forgot at a meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And picked it up and dropped it off, and it was picked up and dropped off within 20 minutes for $11.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty cool. That's awesome, I just wish we had Uber AT ALL! Yeah, even slightly would be nice. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this is like, the shittiest news ever. Uhm, but basically, uh, John TotalBiscuitBane has, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I don't know if all of you are necessarily familiar with TotalBiscuit, but you probably should be. Yea, I know. Uhm, you probably should be. We've had him as a guest on WAN Show before, where he was awesome by the way. But he's awesome at a lot more things than just being a guest on WAN Show. Solid dude, upstanding dude, uhm, has, has really...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Changed games journalism in a way that goes beyond how many subscribers he has on YouTube, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the, the long and short of it is the average life expectancy for the condition that he's in right now is two to three years. However, that is based on that the condition that he's in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is usually, uh, found in older people who are less capable of fighting it. So, you know, he's hoping for the best and who knows what cancer treatments are going to be available in the next, who knows, even two to three years. You know, hopefully he's got a fighting chance, but it's, uhm, it's back. So we just, we're, we're, we're,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talking about that, not because it's tech news necessarily, but just because it's, uh, it's, it's a bummer. Uhm, check out, check out TotalBiscuit while you can, but we are still, still really hoping for the best for him, and, uh, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, he's closing his Starcraft 2 team Axiom. Uhm, this was, this was another, there's a screen grab of the full announcement, uh, that I can pull up here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But basically it's, it's come to an end, the Axiom website is down, uhm, they hadn't been having a great run in terms of competitiveness for a variety of reasons over the last little bit anyway, but uhm, in light of, in light of what's going on in, in Jon's life, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he's focusing more on family and medical expenses at the moment, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had never talked to him before, we had him on the show actually, which is kinda funny, uhm, because I just like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I hadn't done that, but I've actually stayed in touch with him since we had him on the show almost two years ago. Like, I, I, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we actually haven't done this in a long time, but on the Linus Tech Tips forum, folks can create, I'm actually going to move us out of the way here, uh, folks can submit their build logs, so logs of their build.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, pretty self-explanatory. I would recommend for screening it, if you can. Uh, oh, okay. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, allow. Why would I click fullscreen if I don't want it to allow it? Uhm, so basically, uh, voters can, staff or community can pick ones that they like and then they can be featured on the show. At least that was the theory, we stopped doing it for a long time because we forgot. Uh, so this one looks absolutely sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Absolutely gorgeous. Look at-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That just looks fantastic. I sure wish that this coolant made sense for anything other than like, glam footage of systems. You know that if you turn your system off for a while, it settles and then like, goops up, right? So you have to literally run your system like, pretty much continuously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who is in Star Wars. Even the previous reference was not Luke. It was, uh, Doctor Whatever His Face Is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, yeah, no, that one's to Luke, but, uh, who is Han telling that a Wookie- No, it's C3PO, that's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, no. Okay, yes, yes. Han is talking to C-3PO about Chewbacca. The Wookie's name is Chewbacca. I don't know if you know these things! You're a jerk!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I mean, having those there for like, you know- Look at how inferior these ones look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, here's some ugly PCBs I ripped out of some like turd boxes or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, to be fair, we have actually said that the PlayStation 4 was not terrible at launch. And if you want to play exclusive titles- At launch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so the SCARP raised four million dollars before having its funding suspended for not having a working prototype. And oh man, did they ever try to sell people on the idea that the footage they were showing was somehow a working prototype. It was not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was not. I am, I am frankly a little disappointed that we talked about this thing. See, this is why every time we get burned on this crap, I'm like, you know what, we should just not cover Kickstarter stuff anymore. You know what, we should just stop covering Kickstarter stuff. But then we get to cover this part of it. And then there's like some cool thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So more than 20,000 people had backed the project. Uhm, this is, there's a great reddit thread that you guys should read through about all the reasons why what they were doing probably doesn't or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perhaps could work, uhm, the act- people digging into the alleged cred- credibility of the people involved versus, uhm, what they were saying their credibility was. People picking apart some of the footage and why it may or may not have had a filter over the lens or whatever else. Uhm, so basically, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] SuperSketch. It's back up on Indiegogo, so there's that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yup. And has raised 300,000 US dollars. Already. Already, again. Uuuh. Uhm, so, yup, there you go. The campaign will receive all funds, even if it doesn't reach its goal. So apparently the- if this is a scam,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they've set their sights a little lower. But they'll take the 300 grand. If it's not a scam, then I do sincerely hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm glad our logo's not there. I do sincerely hope that it ends up being, being real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They used a Dremel to like, cut out a thing on their prototype and then they put like a filament in here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That could be anything. They don't show us the power source, so it could be a AAA battery, it could be a nuclear generator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Add to lens filter to help you see something and something and something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, something, etc. Yeaah, they haven't said anything about being kicked off of Kickstarter. Which is really interesting. Very, very interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, move over, standard mobile high definition link, SuperMHL is on its way, and it's bringing better video quality and support than ever before, according to the subheadline on CNET. So, the skinny is this, support for 8K 120 FPS, oh, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Allows you to stream up to 8K AV content from a mobile device to a TV or other display and supports up to 48-bit color. Totally unnecessary by the way. Uhm, and launched at CES 2015. So, they actually went back in time. Did all the work that I asked for. And... That didn't sound too good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this is just kind of funny. Wired reports that Leonardo DiCaprio has snapped up film rights to the proposed book that is not written about the VW emissions scandal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so yeaah. So they've teamed up with Paramount to buy the rights. Uhm, it will apparently be called Too Big To Fail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that you're actually a super nice dude, but at least you're doing this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is cool, I actually submitted a review unit request, got my ass handed to me, they're like, yep, so we've chosen, I got a form letter back, they're just like, so we've chosen some key, blah blah, et cetera, so you're not getting one, but hey, we'll let you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there's more later and also you can have a discount on buying one, which I'm not doing because I think it's gonna be a piece of crap, but this is the Lite L16 camera and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently challenges DSLRs with 16 lenses in one package.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the idea, yes, right there, you are looking at a camera that will record the image 16 different ways, allowing you to make changes to the image in terms of focus, in terms of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A bunch of other stuff after the fact. Hold on a second, John's trying to leave the office. Hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are they claiming that they invented this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, I mean, I think the DSLR traditionalists are gonna probably look at this and go, or you could take one photo with a big sensor and a nice lens in front of it, properly, the first time. And then Taron's gonna be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it'll have a touchscreen display on the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll cost about $1,300 on pre-order, and when it starts shipping in the summer of 2016, uh, it'll cost $1,700, that's assuming it works at all. And, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess I'm not really sure what else to say about that. It's about the size of a Nexus 6, so it's not huge, which is cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wow, we've got a whole bunch of stuff. Uh, Apple updated their iMac peripherals, so now there's the Magic Mouse 2, which features a charging port on the bottom for some reason. Uh, original article here is from Anantek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a Magic and Magic Keyboard updated version.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I liked their AA battery approach before. The great thing about a mouse that just takes AA batteries is that it will work forever because you can keep putting new AA batteries in it. And if you're out of battery...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you're out of battery, hold on, if you're out of battery, you don't have to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We use 98% rechargeable batteries at Linus Media Group, but that doesn't mean that we don't have a bin of disposables just in case we're desperate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and the other issue here is that many mice with internal batteries that, uhm, with internal batteries, so you can't just swap the battery pack, have charging connector positions such that you can plug them in and use them plugged into the computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that said, it charges for 9 hours of use in about 2 minutes. I think people's freakout was a little bit much and that's exactly why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's still really stupid. And it's another example of Apple just going,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, design is everything, so we're gonna put the important things on the bottom. Maybe next they'll put the click on the bottom because it looks better without...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually they already kinda did that, when they removed the, uh, the separated plastic buttons and just had the click be part of it. There you go!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the Magic Trackpad has a built-in battery, brings force touch to the desktop, which is very cool. Uh, it's 30% larger almost than the previous Trackpad, and pairs automatically with your Mac.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the Magic Keyboard is rechargeable battery again via lightning to USB, pairs automatically, and better scissor mechanism under each key, increased stability, etc, etc. So, there you go, some updates, some of which are dumb, some of which are good, and some of which are just really not very important at all. What else we got here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The iPhone 6s camera shows literally no or little improvement over the iPhone 6. Uhm, so yeaah, it's fine, but so is the G4. This is from dxomark.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So is the LG G4, so is the Samsung Galaxy S6. There's a lot of great smartphone cameras out there. It's really nice that you don't have to buy an iPhone anymore, and that cell phone cameras have kind of gotten as good as they need to be for a bit. Even Apple agrees, they didn't make it better. Uh, with that said, the 6S improves in a lot of other ways over the 6. My review of that is up on Vessel and will be coming to YouTube, uh, soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, back when it was like cool and sexy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well they do book bundles, they do game store, they have a game store, and now a subscription service.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and, and, I mean, it's not like, it's not like their competitors have stood still, it's not like people, it's like, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like Groupon, remember when Groupon went like super amazing, everyone thinks it's important and then there's like a billion like clone, you know, group deal, you know, go to a restaurant for less than


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there was one other thing. I don't know, do we want to do more bad news for AMD? Or should we just go easy on them? Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Corporate fellow Phil Rogers has left the company after 21 years, so our original, uh, our original article here is from HardOCP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so Corporate Fellow to be clear is the highest level of technical recognition at AMD and is reserved for those who impact AMD's business opportunities and technical breadth by providing a high degree of expertise, knowledge, creativity, and tactical and strategic direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has gone to Nvidia, and he is now their Chief Software Architect for Compute Server. Mwah mwah. That's a little brutal. Yea, bummer about that. Uhm, I dunno, I think that's probably it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my goodness, I feel terrible. I had promised we were gonna do the after party with the honorable mentions for the ultra wide festival today, and I am not, because I need to shoot three fast as possible right now, and I am already...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually. Yep. Alright, so see you guys next week. Same bat time, same bat channel. Byeeee. Get banned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, it's really up to you folks. Look at that anti-glare screen on the Samsung.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I'll explain it, I'll explain it very briefly. Uhm, so here, long story short, I've been periodically pranking Taren for one year. Basically since last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You definitely did, I told you about it, and you're always asking me, Hey, how's that thing with Taron going? So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess, uh, I guess that's today. I guess that's gonna be coming up on Superfund because I didn't actually plan on doing it yet, but, uh, we just went through the windows. So that's for next? We went through a certain prank that didn't actually work because Terran's too logical. He did too logical of a thing when he experienced it, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's it. It's just a prank, dude. Calm down. It's just a prank. I just stepped on your shoes. It's funny, it's a prank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, alright, well then, I came in, I was like, okay Luke, go set up the WAN show. Cause I'm working on a build log, and he already finished his video for the day, and he's like, yeah okay. So I come back 20 minutes before show time, and I'm like, the WAN show's not set up. And he's like, oh well Brandon was ironing the tablecloth, so I couldn't work on it till he was done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I'm gonna, I'm gonna let them be judge, jury, and executioner over here as to, as to whether, as to whether that is a good enough excuse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The black magics had been working for a long time, that is true, but the actual problem we've run into is that our never fail... AVERMEDIA CARDS OF SCIENCE!
