[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you have to have neutrality, you can't prefer one connection over another one. Whether it's managed that way or some other way, uh, it's still very profitable. Hold on!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phone lines are still profitable, and that gets managed that way. So it's just a matter of, it's a pure money grab. So it's not like you're just gonna completely stop investing in the business that made you what you are, because you're not gonna get your way about something. So uhm, but they have said that it'll be a two to three year delay. I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I, I don't, I don't know if this whole Google fiber thing is working out the way Google wanted it to. Cause they never wanted to be an ISP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My perception, and I could be totally wrong, and Google can call me up on my cell phone, I'm sure they know my number, they know everything about me. Uhm, Google can call me up and tell me, look Linus, you're wrong about this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just wanted to do it, like, once, and be like, yo, world, please talk about this, and yo, ISPs, it doesn't cost that freaking much, y'all need to, like, get your crap together and start doing this. I don't think they wanted to be rolling it out to city after city after city, that wasn't the point. But now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, speaking of laying down fiber, so our original source here is Ars Technica. I just love the name of their site. I know it's Ars, but it looks like Ars. Uhm, what a great site. I went down a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, awesome people by the way, petitioning the state to allow it to offer greater access to the high speed fiber network that it built to support town utility operations. AT&T filed to officially intervene in the case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so any decision made by the KCC could impact AT&T's business operations in the area, which is why we asked to intervene in the proceedings, an AT&T rep said. Ars Technica reports that Chanute, oh, here we go, hold on a second, let me just uh, would charge its citizens just $40 a month


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For one gigabit service, which is only five dollars more than the discounted


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AT&T also includes a hard data cap of, uh, 150 gigs a month and exceeding that costs you $10 per month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Chanute officials think the state will rule in their favor. Hopefully they do. Yeaah. So this is, guys in Chanute, yeaah, I would love


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To see more towns do this. Just, you know what? If the ISPs aren't going to treat the internet like it's just a part of, like it's a utility. If they're not gonna do it, then fine. The cities should just build their own utilities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the way it works for every other utility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And since we finally got to the point where we don't need that existing infrastructure, like that whole deal with these private companies owning all of the phone lines all over the entire country,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got an opportunity right now where those phone lines aren't really needed anymore. So if it's time to invest and they don't want to move into the next century of communications, then okay, okay. Take it back, city. I would happily submit my tax dollars. I would happily if the city said, look, we're gonna spend


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1% of all the tax money that we collect on upgrading the internet in this city and booting out the ISPs that are just, have been crapping on it the entire time, I'd say, you know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love the garbage collection service I have from the city. City seems to be doing a bang-up job of the kind of stuff that they spend my money on. Build me the internet, I'll give you 2%. Heck, I'll give you 5%. I will pay more taxes if the city's doing the kinds of things that really are meaningful to me like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Depending on the legislation and the government in place. In Canada, it's less of an issue for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the first time I've ever wished that I was in America. Because in America, you can only serve two terms max.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The CIA then enlists the pair to assassinate him, and North Korea described the film as an act of war and an undisguised sponsoring of terrorism and called on the US and UN to block it. Uhm, sorry North Korea, that's really not the way it works here. Blocking a film because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this cyber attack, uh, several films were stolen and released, so unreleased films were released in full quality. Uhm, it was rumored, and I haven't followed up on this, but it was rumored at the time it was happening that the PlayStation 4, I wanna say, source code was stolen. Oh no, like a bunch of stuff was stolen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, it might have been PlayStation 3 or something. Can't remember all the details, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this isn't the first time they've been, uh, they've been hit and had a major leak like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think even I have excel sheets of passwords. That's just stupid. Do you have a picture?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I? What passwords are they? A lot of them Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's go ahead and move on to Steam, offering game streaming. Wow, this is very interesting. Steam is determined, Valve is just determined to do all the things, aren't they?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just everyone with the- this is open to everyone who uses Steam as long as you opt into the beta client.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] natural a way to start watching someone game than navigating to a site like Twitch. And I don't think that Twitch is gonna go away because I think for major events Twitch is gonna be THE go-to destination for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Assuming nothing changes for the foreseeable future, Twitch is gonna be the destination for that, but for people who don't even know what Twitch TV is, like, have never heard of it, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is a lot of people, a lot of gamers even. Something like this is a lot more natural. Like, hey, my buddy's playing...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dota, or my buddies playing Team Fortress. And all you do is you click on it, and you spectate the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But beyond that, the social infrastructure of the site is not very deep, not compared to something like Steam, where you can transfer files to each other, you can trade in-game items, you can chat with each other in group chats, individually,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But is interested in chatting with Buddy while they play a game. What a great way to do that!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and it just, it feels a lot more like the old days when, you know, it was a single player game. And even if you had two controllers, you had to take turns and, uh, you know, just kind of sitting and watching and playing a game together. Like that's, I think it's very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got someone asking if I ever found the list of gifs of Team Fanatic pixel blocking. It was actually a list of, uhm, I keep forgetting his, Flusha's, Flusha's, like, just, uh, panic button aimbot where he just presses a button and snaps to the head of the nearest opponent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I would love to do a comedy sketch of just a warning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So just the most random, random warning and then like people reacting to it. So if you just put like a caution sign.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, in the middle of nowhere, with no obvious danger around it? Like, how would people react to that? You'd be looking for the danger, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this is, uh, from gizmodo.com, and there's actually, the Model S, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate that they're calling it the new Tesla Model S. I hope they do something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so what improvements do we get here? Other than the one that I obviously spoiled on the, uh, thing on my side here, the dual motors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the Tesla actually has a faster 0-0-100. Yes, actually, most definitely. So what is it, 3.2 seconds to the Hellcat's 3.7 seconds? So not an insignificant difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a, as, as a, as like a biker, like I love sport bikes, I, I, my sport bike doesn't have a great top speed, I think it only does around 220 kilometers an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I say I think because I've never tested that. Uhm, but off the line, I mean, you can't touch it. It's a motorbike. Uhm, and so I would much rather have, I mean, especially driving on the streets, you can always, when you want to have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you wanna have fun driving on the street, your only options really are quick acceleration. You can't go fast, you're gonna hurt someone. So being able to go from, you know, zero to a hundred in no time flat when you're merging onto the highway is really the only time you're ever gonna


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let it out. And so, you know, a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour is lost. More than fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're still five to six years away from a true self-driving car, thanks must, but the new Model S has an incredible array of sensors that are intended to better inform the driver of conditions around the car, and which can take some limited control to avoid crashes. So some of the things it can do with the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What all does it have on it? I can't even, can't even remember. Long range radar, image recognition camera, 360 ultrasonic radar, and GPS data integration with real time traffic. So if you signal on the highway, it can change lanes for you when it's safe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of cool. Uhm, it can detect oncoming obstacles, like a sudden obstruction, say for example, I, they don't give this example, but I would think something like a deer or a moose running out onto the road, and it can automatically apply the brake. Uhm, yeaah, it can check blind spots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still see stuff like that as a bit of an over-engineering thing. It's another thing to break from my perspective. But then I don't know that the typical customer for a Model S cares if it breaks 10 years down the line because they'll probably have a new car by then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, he's been using the same system for, oh lord, how long is it? Can't remember, it's in the article here, but it's been, uh, it's been for over a decade, if I recall correctly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, Mr. Hawking, sorry, Professor Hawking, is not interested in some of the new technologies like eye tracking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, was, uh, but did work with them on a new, more predictive, uh, style of input, uh, some rearranging of the menus. And then, now that the whole thing, or once the whole thing is finished being developed, what's cool is that Intel is gonna make the whole source code open source.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is really cool. There's a really cool comment on the SwiftKey blog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From a 17 year old who's suffering from the same thing as, uh, as Professor Hawking, and who basically said, yeaah, I mean, my computer software is so outdated that I can't upgrade from XP, it has no support for new operating systems, and Swiftkey's already, already engaged here and talking about, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I complain about no SwiftKey on iOS, or I complain about the fact that SwiftKey is kind of rubbish on iOS still, uhm, people think that I'm talking about swipe typing. I'm not, I hate swipe. No, I don't use it either. I don't use swipe at all, but I do use the SwiftKey keyboard because their predictive text is... Really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty good performance, it's been a little worse lately for me, but pretty good performance and way smarter than most of the other ones I've used because it actually looks at my history. So the system that they're building here I'm assuming would also be a learning predictive model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, uh, that actually gears itself towards the things that you, that you usually say. It's, it's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would you want Squarespace? You might ask. Well, that's a terrific question. You might want a website for your business, for your blog, for your, I don't know, your like weird fascination with beads. Whatever you might want a website for. A really good idea is just an extension of your resume. Actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're affordable stock images that you can use to make sure it looks nice and beautiful. They're logo designer. They're built in commerce module. They're 24-7 tech support.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All that good stuff. You also get your domain thrown in for free if you sign up for a year. So, you wanna have a beautiful website? You wanna have integration with Google Apps for your business? All that great stuff. Then head over to squarespace.com slash Linus to save up to 10%. Exactly 10%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or it'll be slightly more than 10%. No, I just, I, no yeaah, I said up to 10%. So if it's more, if, if Squarespace ever offers someone a deeper discount than 10%, I'm a liar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This weekend, tomorrow and Sunday, and in addition to the competition and showcase, Intel's gonna, well okay, so Intel is of course the presenting sponsor of the Intel Extreme Masters, it's right in the name. And then they're also gonna have a showcase of a bunch of the latest technologies. They're also going to have two new egg offers with full details available in the forum, which will be linked


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the video description of the archive, or presumably it's up there already and Nick's already dealt with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was planning on hosting my website locally. Dude, get Squarespace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In no way at all, other than its size, because it's a full-fledged PC and can hold up to a dual slot, full power, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, PCI Express 16x graphics card. Also, deal number two is you can get free games and software with the purchase of a Core i5 or Core i7 processor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna have a drawing for those at home, where if you take a photo and upload it to Twitter with the, uh, with a tag for Intel USA. So add Intel USA and use the official hashtag, hashtag IEM. You'll be entered to win a Core i7 processor, make your photo interesting, like show off how you're watching IEM from home, for example, to stand out from the pack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, our last sponsor spot for today is actually a new one, and this one's gonna be kind of fun, so we'll just leave this here. I'm so excited! Now, I have to disclose that Lootcrate sent this to us free of charge because we're talking about Lootcrate and it's like a sponsor spot, so we didn't actually, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We didn't actually buy it, I'm sorry, but if you guys aren't familiar with- Dear, do you wanna do the- Do you wanna do the unboxing? Sure. Alright, so if you guys aren't familiar with Loot Crate, basically, you sign up and every month they deliver epic, geek, and gaming gear for just- And even the price is geeky. 13.37. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the December crate is gonna be the biggest one they've ever delivered size-wise, so now's a great time to sign up with offer code Linus and save 10%. So you've saved what? A dollar... thirty... four, I guess. Which makes the price...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's geeky. So they're gonna have exclusives from DC Comics and Batman and Marvel slash Guardians of the Galaxy. They're gonna have an exclusive Ghostbusters collectible, Tetris and Simpsons collectibles, and a brand new Funko Pop vinyl figure created exclusively for Loot Crate. So December's Crate is gonna have a bunch of like crazy exclusive stuff. What else we got in here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it includes a super posable micro action figure. I feel like, I feel like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 19 pieces, 8+, so you're not gonna want to give this metallic series figure to your 7 year old. Unless your 7 year old is really clever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, is this like a, oh it's a mega blocks halo guy. So it comes with a little mega blocks, like block, like a 2x, a 2x4 block, and then he stands on it. Or doesn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has to stand, yeaah, there we go, I just have to fix his posture, and it comes with a little tiny gun, and of course it's a pistol, because, uh, so, so OP. What else we got here? This appears to, oh, oh, he's got a backpack. There we go. I'm liking my Master Chief, what else we got in there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, in, in Loot Crate's defense, this coin was probably arranged before they knew the game was gonna suck donkey crap, and, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we do this just right, it kinda looks like a 4 on the back. There you go. Yeah, so you could pretend it's Assassin's Creed 4. Black Flag. And then you could just, yeah, okay, well it does say Unity on the front of it. So you could just never look at it on that side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you cross out the unity side, and then it's like... Yeah, oh, it doesn't die, because it's not even-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they'll be like, wow, how did you find such cool nerd swag? And they'll be like, uh, tirelessly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every day for my entire life to have all this cool swag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, you may do that if you would, if you would desire to do that. Alright, let's move on to our next topic here, which is, I remember making fun of this thing, and basically my conclusion being, uh, yeaah, that seems like a great idea in theory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, sorry, the Lootcrate link is lootcrate.com slash Linus. Nick's all like, yo dog, you might not have actually, uh, called that out. Lootcrate.com slash Linus. Alright, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this, this, oh man, this thing was so stupid. I was like, yeaah, I guess it seems like a good idea in theory, except that motion control is gonna be completely impossible, and it looks way too big, and the battery life is probably gonna be rubbish, and it looks like I was 100% right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe so. I think it was. Yes. Yes, I believe it was. And they showed someone like typing on a, on an on-screen keyboard on their TV. So it has shipped to the original backers and it is apparently complete garbage. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, so they promised the features, gesture control, text transmission, payment information transmission, receive an alert, receive alert functions, compatible about greater than iOS 7 and Android 4.4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, the video, the video that I just showed, you know what, I should post this video. Basically, it's like the worst thing ever and does nothing and doesn't work with anything and wasn't that cheap and is a complete disaster. And this,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One, two. There are two crowdfunding campaigns that I backed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just so that I could do reviews of how crap it is when it arrives. One is the Jibo robot, because they're claiming so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who was it with that card game? Where they like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and wasn't there one not that long ago? This was news this week, this isn't in the doc. But uhm, some, some, uh, crap, what were they? They were a game developer or something like that, and they donated all the money to Anita Sarkeesian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, and, and they can't pay, they can't pay anyone back and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a big gigantic fiasco and they're like, yeah, I owe a lot of taxes so I can't afford to pay anyone back. It's like, yeah, your taxes are really not the problem of your backers who gave you money. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so let's go ahead and, uh, yeaah, so the ring, total disaster, oh, Gundam Styles, view count! Right. So yeaah, do you wanna go ahead and cover that? Yeaah, where is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, oh, this is really exciting. So Asus is talking, I, I reached out to them about this already because we so need to cover this. But Asus has a 20, uhm, a 27 inch PB279 cue coming. So it's a PB,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So under $800, sort of, uh, exactly $800 basically. So 27 inch, right? Yep, for a 27 inch 4K monitor now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 4K is still a bit of a mixed bag on the PC in particular due to the text and UI element scaling issues that exist there, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More affordable displays, and this will be 60Hz over DisplayPort, 30Hz over HDMI. So more affordable displays being available will, I think, drive adoption, which will drive developers to go ahead and make their stuff compatible. So, very, very exciting. And for gamers in particular, I would imagine at 27 inch 4K, anti-aliasing is a thing of the past, maybe 2X.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obscured and you're not really sure if you're typing the right thing to validate that you are indeed a human and not a robot signing into the website.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this is the nocaptcha recaptcha, which doesn't rely on just that technology anymore, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's actually, I didn't even see this at the bottom of the page before, but this is cool. So, brief history of captchas. So, while all of this may sound simple, there's a high degree of sophistication behind that modest checkbox. So, captchas have relied on the inability of robots to solve distorted text. However,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're saying that their research shows that today's artificial intelligence can solve even the most difficult variant of distorted text at 99.8% accuracy. So not only are these things annoying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not even a deterrent for AI that's trying to get through it. So the distorted text on its own is no longer a dependable test. So last year they developed an advanced risk analysis backend for reCAPTCHA that actively considers a user's entire engagement before, during, and after to determine whether the user is human.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very, very cool. I've also seen other variants, uhm, I don't think these are necessarily reCAPTCHA, but, but other, uhm, validation things, like pick the one that corresponds to the other pictures, and they'll have pictures of, like, animals, and you have to pick the cat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cool thing about it though is that even if the robot finds a way to behave in a way that fools the capture, uhm, it won't be fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd be way too slow, you wouldn't click on like the precise spot where the cursor box starts. I wanna, I wanna, I kinda wanna see. I'll see if you can do it, but there is, there is no way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, copy link URL, let's go ahead and throw this in. So Kmart joins Target in Australia, pulling Grand Theft Auto V off its shelves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe they don't, well okay, I do agree with voting with your wallet, or like voting, putting your money where your mouth is, and if you, if you want to take a stand on something, you can't just not take a stand because no one else will take a stand, you know, you kind of have to do things, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, kind of, what kind of rejection. So, spokeswoman for the company announced on Thursday that the highly popular series would be removed from shelves immediately following a significant review of their content. This misogynistic GTA 5 literally makes a game of bashing, killing, and horrific violence against women. The petition, which has been signed by more than 40,000 people, said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the promoting violence against sex workers, I mean, this is not something that I'm advocating for, and personally,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a huge fan of the whole GTA thing. For me personally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I don't think that pulling it out of a couple stores in Australia is really gonna stop the juggernaut that is Grand Theft Auto. And I also don't subscribe to the theory that violent video games make people violent. I think crazy people are crazy people, and those crazy people might tend to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is interesting. Now, there's been a se- a severe shortage. Oh, sorry, I haven't posted the link yet. But there has been a serious shortage of good mechanical wireless keyboards up till now, and it looks like Philco is seeking to address this. So this is an article from over on Tech Report, and there it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I did not know that. Okay, the keyboard features both Bluetooth and a detachable USB cord with what looks like a mini USB connector, and when unplugged it runs off two AA batteries for use that provide about six months of usage at about five hours per day. Not half bad!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, it's like Apple's continuity except not Apple's continuity at all because you're still using it on your phone but you just pair it over and Bluetooth pairing is so fast these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is freaking awesome. Now, one obstacle for this keyboard is this really is a niche product because Bluetooth is something that's really not included with most desktop computers and full-size 104 key Magistouch mechanical keyboards are not the kind of thing most people use on their laptops, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you had an office, say for example, that you took a laptop to every day and you just had this wireless keyboard and then you had a little stand for your phone next to it, being able to switch between them and then just close everything up and book it at the end of the day, that's freaking awesome! I love this product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this is uhm, this is actually pretty cool. Finland to ditch cursive handwriting for typing and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Texting skills. So let's go ahead and copy the link here. Boopity boop boop. Boop. Alright, let's fire this up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, makes a ton of sense every time I hear about some completely legacy nonsense being ditched for, you know, some actually useful skill. So cursive writing, I don't imagine either of my kids will read or write in cursive unless they get into calligraphy as a hobby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this is from The Verge, Obama to provide funding for police body cameras, so this is all in the wake.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the, uh, the recent, uh, the recent conclusion of the whole Michael Brown thing where the police officer was let off and, you know, whether that was the correct decision or not the correct decision is not something that we're gonna broach on this show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, the point is, uhm, Obama has pushed through, I think it was 300 million or so in funding? 236. 263.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Training and outreach programs meant to renew the level of trust between cops and the communities that they serve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it's the same reason that people use dash cams. The dash cam is not always necessarily to cover your own butt. If it's in the hands of a law enforcement officer, it could potentially be used to cover the butt of someone else from the law enforcement officer. And so, I mean, I have-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think that's pretty much it for anything that, uh, I thought was particularly interesting in the dark this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what you're talking about. Alright, so we've got Vault Boy. Can you remind me how Prezi works? Prezi? Yea. Uuuuh, it's loading. Yea, which means what? Uuuuh, wait for it to load.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, the system specs, modded BitFenix Prodigy, Asus P8Z, 77i Deluxe with a 3570K, and an R9 290. R9 290, you're gonna have to have lots of water cooling to put that in a little tiny case of-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very nice work in progress shots, loving those BitFenix Prodigy mods, love that paint job too, that's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Wow, this thing is outstanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Painting the rabs, painting the inside of the case, got your matching memory, and that yellow and blue color scheme on the cabling. Looking real good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there is the finished build, so there's carbon fiber wrap on the back of the VRM modules as well as on the motherboard tray. And it looks like possibly even on the inside here we got those. Those are so, those are so throwback. I love this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those uh, those biohazard fan drills. Like, I remember shopping on like, adsmods.com for that kind of crap, like way back in the day. Those used to be so common at LANs and stuff. Love it. So classic. That beautiful yellow coolant that you can see through the, uh, the plexi window on the water block. What a fantastic build. And the figurine for, for good measure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] HUGE Asus logo. Love this shroud down here in the bottom. Uh, and then you've got the OC, like the one person in the world to be using Asus' OC front panel thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. JJ's watching. JJ, we know you're impressed. Alright, we got our last Build Log of the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If the presentation has finished loading, yes, I want to allow. Can you remember this please? Alright, so this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Project White Camel, also known as See Through Yoga Pants Lululemon Edition.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one BA rig. It's got some painting of the rim. Ooh, are we changing the color of the GeForce logos?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do like that color change on the GTX logos. Like that white RAM. That X99 Deluxe looks fantastic in this build. Everything goes together incredibly well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I know about this, or is this, uh, oooooh yes, okay, alright, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, we've been meaning to feature this forever. This is from Smogsy, and it is the ultimate man cave. And I'm talking like pretty ultimate. Actually, I saw, okay, I saw kind of a neat, uh, attic-based build blog one a little while ago. But this is, this is very ultimate. So this is it, pretty much complete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so, full specs for this thing are ridiculous. So, Panasonic 50 inch TV, couple of 2TB Sky HD boxes, one has backup evidently, Cambridge Amp, uh, PS3 Ultra Slim, okay we'll forgive you for that one, HDMI link to the PC so you can-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seven blu-rays that exist. This is, this is, this is great. In case get kicked out or it's raining. So he converted his garage for this, if I recall correctly. So it has a double bed with memory foam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The internet has moved on, yeaah. There were so few comments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About the, uh, the greatest of all time second edition or whatever I said in the, uh, it was in an NCIX Tech Tips. Like the Fractal Define R5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least on Assassin's Creed Unity, they might be following up with some more digging with their other franchises, but we gotta give them credit where credit is due, and when they do the right things, if we're gonna...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, if we're gonna remon them for doing the wrong things, then we have to congratulate them for doing the right things. Uhm, what else we got today?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have two Nick's as well. There are two people named Nick who work here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we've got a couple of people complaining that there's no sound, but then we've got other people enjoying the Nick jokes, so... You're gonna wanna refresh your stream there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's do, let's do Ubisoft first. Okay, so hold on, let's just find the, let's find the Unity topic here. Oh, that brought up opportunity, uh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so there's the link to the thread on LinusTechTips.com, and the basic premise here is, and I'm even gonna remember to screen share with you guys this week, I'm gonna be- Woah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well the page isn't really loading, but the uh- Double awesomeness! Alright, so there you go. Wait, I don't usually load the Linus Tech Tips forum page. That's right, I usually load the source link. Yeah, I know. Uhm, okay, so, assassinscreed.ubi.com, the head of the game studio behind Assassin's Creed Unity, has emailed players apologizing for bugs in the video game. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything is if there's like a safety hazard or it doesn't even do what it said it did. It's still an Assassin's Creed game. Yea, it doesn't run very well, but that's more of a, yo dog, you probably shouldn't preorder our stuff anymore type situation than a recall situation. How do you even recall? It's like recalling a movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know what happens. You wouldn't give them their money back. You fix it. That's how a car recall works. A patch is basically how a car recall works. So they already recalled it if they're patching it. You know what? That's kind of funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What about the EV1? If we made game developers call their patches, recall notices.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that could be an expansion pack or a DLC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's- But if it's a bug fix, they have to call it a recall notice. They might not- they might- But they're not taking-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's actual, like, good games. Like, even games that aren't even out yet. So you can get a copy of The Crew. Mind you, mind you, The Crew might just be setting yourself up for disappointment again. Although, we'll get into that topic next. So, I mean, I don't know what else there is to really say about this. Kudos to Ubisoft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The season's pass will be discontinued. It's not like they've completely learned their lesson. They didn't come out and say, we aren't gonna do season's passes anymore, we're gonna deliver all the content we can at launch, and then if an expansion pack happens, it happens, and it'll be an expansion pack, not a nickel and diming you for every little thing DLC scheme.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did we even cover the thing where if they wanted, I think it was PS4 players to delete their friends list? What? Or something like that? Oh crap, I can't remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uuuh. Okay, do you want to move into the crew? The crew, so. Yeah, so, hold on, hold on. By the way, there's two days left in the Keep On Diggin' shirt campaign. I'm not wearing the right shirt, but this is also Highlander, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay, but then that would be stupid, because if you hadn't provided reviewers copies of WoW, that would, because they couldn't experience an MMO the way that it's meant to be experienced with other players, then that would basically mean that you didn't test it at all. Which leads us to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if they've closed the beta down by now, then arguably yes, there is no one on the servers, but then you could also say, well hold on a second, why don't they just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leave the beta users in there until launch. It's not like other games haven't done this before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then, you know, you've got your reviewers running around. There's a bunch of people who've been playing the game for a while. Which is good. So they get to have that experience. Whereas reviewers, actually that's another really good point that I just made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I'm just gonna bring up, uh, okay, whatever. The source that I have for it right now is basically a reddit thread with people talking about it, so I'll just fire this up, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dreamhack Winter 2014, Fnatic uses boost against LDLC. So let's go ahead and fire this up. This was originally posted on the forum by, uh, oh crap, I forgot to put down the, uh, the OP here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think that's important, giving people credit for contributing to the news section of LinusTechTips.com. Uh, here's the Reddit discussion right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Warning, this thread contains spoilers. Oh, okay, I guess spoiler alert if you follow esports events.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's a screenshot on the Linus Tech Tips forum of the, like the developer view of the map where you can see where the, oh, that's interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you can see that the areas that they're walking on are not supposed to be areas where you can walk and basically the reason for that is that you'll tend to curve surfaces so you can end up with stray pixels that can be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flying around right now over cheating in CSGO, uhm, with, I mean we talked about this on the show last week, but with hacks as blatant as pressing a button and then zeroing in on the head of the nearest enemy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, being used and, you know, there's a lot of denial about whether it's been used in competitive play or not, but there's also evidence stacking up against certain players, lots of it stacking up against certain players. Uhm, this is terrible timing, it puts Fnatic under,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if the, I'm gonna go ahead, I'm gonna call it a cheat because there is just no way. Even if the cheat gets allowed. Here we go, we've got an image or screenshot of the Dreamhack rules. Pixel walking is illegal. Even if they end up getting away with this, the community is going to hate them for doing this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can get, like, big fines. Ten thousand dollar, much, tens of thousands of dollar fines for doing unsportsman-like things in a game, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you can see a kill cam a lot of the time, so yeaah, sorry, uh, yeaah, like just a public random match on the internet. You can see a kill cam and you can see where a guy has hit you from and you can even spectate the other team a lot of the time. Not the case here. So until...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could go back and watch the match replay or figure out where this guy was in a place where he should not have been. They had no way of discovering, uhm, where they were getting hit from even.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I say top, I think top of that list is a little bit, uh, aggressive. What else would be better? I don't know, suddenly COD. Hacking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe not in competitive play, so, fair, fair point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, well, I don't know, I guess what else is there to say? I wish I could find the, uhm, I wish I could find... What are you trying to find?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, uh, there's, there's a, the collection of gifs that I was talking about from Flusha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was looking at it before, but basically it's just, it's just like, hilariously bad. Like you'll be looking over here and the camera just, it does like, it doesn't reload and then snaps over to somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's go ahead and move on to our next topic. I, I just, I guess, okay, I guess, no, sorry, one last word, uhm, Valve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dreamhack administrators, you have to do the right thing and the problem, the problem with something like this is that it's not just one player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deciding to go ahead and exploit something. This was a team decision, uh, their mat- their coach after the match was asked about it. The interviewer basically, to paraphrase, just kind of went, I don't really know what to say, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long have you guys known about this? And he goes, oh, a couple of months. Uhm, so there's, there's even more, there's more controversy. The person who discovered this, this exploit was actually, posted a video on YouTube about it, and claims that Fanatic told him to take the video down, and then they've...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Allegedly just kind of had this in their back pocket and chose to pull it out at a quarter of a million dollar tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this isn't a matter of like one player spitting on a referee, you know what I mean? And an unsportsman. This is an unsportsman-like culture within this organization. And when you call it professional esports, professional doesn't just mean that you get paid to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a, there's a connotation that comes with the word professional. That means, I mean when I say I'm a professional YouTuber, that means I make money by being a YouTuber. But if I were to say that I want to behave like a professional, then


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a whole lot more that comes along with that. The word means so much more than just, I do this as a profession. And, you know, seeing, seeing them, you know, congratulating each other on the successful execution of this tactic means that this is just a fundamental problem with this organization.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so here's a good look at it, you guys. I'll go ahead and zoom in. So just to be clear, this is what pixel walking is. So this is obviously not a part of the map that is intended to be stood on. Uhm, this guy...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right here has to jump on someone else to get here and then he has to jump on top of him. Uh, so he can basically see the entire, uh, the entire, I think there's what, four ways they can go and he can see three of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so I guess that's all to, uh, that's all to really say about it for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I would really like to find it. That's incredibly frustrating that I can't find it. But, uh, but it's okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's move on to the next thing, a Nintendo Patents Game Boy emulation. So this was posted by Ah Ming on the forum, and the original article here is from Pocket Gamer. So let's go ahead and fire that up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go, Pocket Gamer. Oh, someone posted the gift list right before I did that. Oh, oh, oh, terrible, terrible. Uhm, oh, oh, oh, hold on, maybe we got it. Oh, this isn't the one that I was looking at, unfortunately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, there was one I had that was like, that was awesome. Yeah. Yeah, not the right one, unfortunately. Okay. So let's move on to, uh, so what does, what does this- Apparently Nick has sent it to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This better be the right one, Nick. No, that's the- that's the same one. I'm pretty sure this one's a slogan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, yeaah, no, no, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, let's move on, let's move on, okay. So, Nintendo patents emulation, uhm, for their Game Boy systems. Original article here is from Pocket Gamer. I'll go ahead and share this on the screen. So these are some illustrations from Nintendo's patent for an emulator that runs on mobile phones. So there's an illustration of someone


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there we go. So they've got some more details about it, so the idea is maybe we could see it integrated into airline seats, uh, we could see it running on computers, potentially, on, I guess that's supposed to be a tablet. It's like, yes, this is a 1990s pocket PC that, uh, you know, like, palm, palm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, black and white monochrome display thing that for some reason someone's playing games on. So basically there's an example of an emulator architecture, virtual core, keypad emulation, sound, blah blah blah, etc. I mean, those of you who are familiar with emulation will probably already have some idea how it works, but the way that it's never worked in the past...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're just not really around anymore in such a state that they would be able to, that they would be able to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defend anything, so you go back, you know, far enough near things like Neo Geo or like MAME emulators. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Nintendo, on the other hand, has the resources and has the existing presence to take the emulation communities, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It depends on how they do this. So if they just kinda go, okay, we're gonna patent emulation so that anyone creating an emulator for a Nintendo system is infringing our patent and we can legally go after them, and then they're just gonna sit on all those IPs and all those old games,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then I have no problem with them monetizing their old IP in such a way. And that was bound to happen eventually. We've seen a little bit with things like the virtual console on the Wii and on the Wii U.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereas if we, if we saw them create more, like, cause those virtual console games, like, just the whole way they were doing that, where they were porting them, was just stupid. When they could have just run an emulator in the first place and then they don't have to port anything. Um, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yea, it depends on their approach. If they're gonna wait and like, remaster everything or whatever else, then that's super crappy because there's something to be said for those retro experiences and you- you can't buy those retro games anymore unless you're e-banging it, in which case the original creator of the content isn't getting anything for it anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's that whole, there's that whole piracy argument, which frankly, I've talked about this before, but I think is silly, where it's not stealing if you don't actually remove the object from the other person in order to have it for yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and if you weren't gonna buy it anyway, then it doesn't represent a lost revenue opportunity for the person that you are, whose content you are enjoying. Uhm, that's dumb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what isn't quite as dumb is if that content creator is no longer providing that content in any usable way to you. Well then what are you supposed to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we're not talking about, you know, a limited edition Sennheiser Orpheus headphone, where they make 2,000 of them, and then they're not available for purchase anymore. We're talking about something that is lines of code, and they're just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Opting not to sell it anymore, and so they're the ones that are ultimately predetermining that there is no revenue opportunity to be had.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they're forcing piracy. It's, it's, it's much the same way where I think there's a gray area, even with things like movies. Yes, okay, you can buy them used, but there's no, you're not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one is interested in playing at all on Super Nintendo? Okay, yes. I'm just saying that in some cases it can be justified if there's no way to obtain it legally. It's in much the same way that in some countries there are a lot of movies that you just can't obtain because there's no licensing deals in place. And it's like, well, come on. Well, people are just supposed to move so they can, you know, watch, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, uhm, so I guess that's pretty much- Oh yeah, so the big news here is there are popular ROM sites that are already pulling all of their ROMs. Because ROMs have been a very legal gray area up till now. Is it stealing if no one is selling it? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, kim.com is now free, so the original article here is from KitGuru, and the poster on the Linus Tech Tips forum was fulgrim. And I don't know, I don't know how closely you've been paying attention to the whole kim.com thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, well okay, the bankruptcy, I think he declared himself bankrupt. His ex-wife now has control of the family trust. And if there's a trust, I suspect that means the money is not exactly all gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so then he had to get a new lawyer, something, something, something, something, something. Anyway, the point is, uhm, Kim.com was one of the founders of MegaUpload, which was taken down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where it gets taken down automatically, every link to it gets taken down and the file gets removed. Like you guys are actually taking this seriously. Whereas copyrighted files, uhm, the way that the DMCA takedowns worked is all they had to remove was that link to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the way that uploads to mega upload worked was that if you uploaded a duplicated file, then it would just say, yo, that file's already there, so do you want to just link to that one? And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A file could have many many many links to it, so it created, it created basically a bottleneck in the system where it was almost, it was very difficult to get things removed from it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and there are some arguments to be made, like the way that they would incentivize users to post popular things, because, uh, the more clicks it gets, I think they actually even had an incentive program where they would pay people to upload things that were gonna get a lot of clicks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just cause we're incentivizing people to visit our website doesn't mean that we're encouraging copyright infringement. So, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, at the end of the day, I mean, come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't put me in jail because someone uploads, you know, uh, uh, an MP3 of Kanye West or whatever the kids listen to these days to LinusTechTips.com if we


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so he walked today. Uh, there was, uh, there was like, there was a hearing and, uh, his comment on it is actually pretty funny. He posted on his Twitter that the hearing was just like the entire mega upload case, nonsensical, or nonsense, excuse me. And, uhm, I guess that's all I really have to say about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the original article here is from Techspot. This was posted on the forum by Missanthrope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And should have the right to use it. Especially internet people, cause you ask internet people about whether people should have the right to do anything and they're bound to say yes, and then you ask them if they should have the right to use the internet and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a 5 megabit fiber line is better than it sounds because a lot of the time what makes your internet connection slow is not actually the sheer bandwidth, it's the latency. So that's what makes something like a web page load slowly. Like sure on 5 megabit you might not be watching 4k YouTube videos or Twitch streams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you will have quick access to the web, which is the intention. And then for 70 bucks a month you get 1 gig up, 1 gig down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's move on to our next topic here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Asrock launches an x99 board with 10 gigabit per second ethernet. So I'm gonna go ahead, this, uh, original article here is from manantek.com and I've been saying for a while that I would like to see motherboards with 10 gig ethernet built into them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, I'm not necessarily sure if this one is the answer. So this is a workstation-type grade board. Uh, it's estimated, it's gonna be out in December, so it's not actually...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's not actually available yet, but it's estimated that it will be out sometime in December at the price of around $800 to $900. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe it's in the article here, so it's actually got two 10 gigabit RJ45 ports at the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they are running off, I believe it's an Intel chipset. Yeah, Intel X520T2. And then down here, what have we got?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, two of them are 1 gigabit and then two of them are 10 gigabit. The cooling solution actually extends down over the 10 gigabit ethernet port, so presumably that's dealing with the extra heat being kicked off by the chipset, uh, that controls that. And then there's also an active cooler on the, uh, on the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so they can actually do 16x, 16x, 16x, 16x with four PCI Express cards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, here we go. Ah, shoot. I can't find it. Anyway, I can't find the discussion about it. But basically, there were people saying that, oh, well, you know, that might actually be a pretty good value, because at $800 to $900, it includes, you know, a $400, 10 gigabit ethernet card. But you can actually get 10 gigabit ethernet cards for like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 350, I believe? And of course, this is gonna be the one time that Newegg's search completely lets me down. Networking, wired networking. So I'll look this up, sort of offline, and then I'll go find something here. Uh, wired routers. Do you wanna cover the next, uh, next topic here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can use that. We'll see, we'll race. We'll see who can find things first. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a gross dude. Uhm, oh, by the way, I found it. So it's $333. So at $800 to $900, but that's for a single port one, just to be clear. So at $800 to $900, you can buy yourself a pretty nice X99 board and a 10 gigabit NIC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you really want one and not spend that much. And depending on how you feel about ASRock, you'll have a lot more options in terms of the motherboard. Okay, so Supreme Court, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the flip side of that is, I mean- The flip side of that is that we might need something like this. Do we need legislation in place to keep people from acting like complete doofus wads on the internet? Doofus wads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the accused claims his posts were meant as rap lyrics, not as genuine threats, which, and then if all of a sudden we're gonna go, okay, well no, it's not okay to say those things in rap lyrics, then we get into freedom of expression and art and all that kind of stuff, and so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I suspect this will not go through. I suspect he will walk away completely scot free from all of this and the internet won't change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Might be more important here, not necessarily whether he intended to follow through on it. And a lot of spousal abuse is, spousal abuse is a great example because threats, uhm, are used


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To great effect because the way that it, the way that it works, and this is actually a super creepy conversation that I had with my mom once about someone that she knew who was the subject of a beaten wife sort of situation. And what she said was, he only hit me once. But after that, this is enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? And so, if the idea is that, uh, is that this is a verbal threat, with maybe some weight behind it in the past, maybe there's some history there, then is it really any different? Uhm, yeah, so I'll be interested to see how that goes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever. Iketguru.net posts, Activision using YouTube copyright system to hide glitches in Call of Duty. Uhm.

[Assistant] So let's go ahead and post that up there. I'll also share this on the forum here. Now this is a little bit sort of jumping the gun and Activision has fired back and said woah woah woah hold on a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we're, we're, we didn't intend for it to, uh, for it to hide, you know, game bugs. You know, we want those reported. We'll fix that stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what we intended, uhm, so it says glitch slash cheat videos. That's the important word here in the headline from KitGuru. What we wanted was for people to stop posting cheats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're trying to get cheating reduced in the game and having people not post it all over the internet would be pretty freaking helpful if you guys would all just please help us out with this a little bit. We're trying to make it a fun gaming experience not full of CSGO professional players who are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For them to hear about it from, so this was an email from machinima to some of their partners, yodogs maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, the problem is that a YouTube community guidelines strike has the potential to permaban your channel if you get a few of them. And to get one for something as innocuous as posting an in-game glitch or an in-game cheat. Which is fine almost all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, so using, using the, using the takedown policy on YouTube is, is, and causing potentially irreparable harm to channels is not the right way to deal with this. Uhm, so I still, I still think Activision's digging here, even if their goal may have been noble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, but the thing is a lot of the time I think big companies make, because they can, they can retract their, their claims and the strikes do go away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and strikes do expire eventually as well. I've had a strike in the past, uhm, it was a complete misunderstanding, but I didn't end up filing my dispute early enough, or something, something. I knew I wasn't gonna get any more strikes, so I didn't deal with it and expire after I think six months, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't understand YouTube properly. I made a video where we threw stuff at you, I thought it was comedy gold and it turns out people hate it, so there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, we've done, I've done a few unpopular things lately. I'm on a bit of an unpopular role, but the truth of the matter is, I'm human. Uhm, you know, I thought the whole thing with the teasing future videos and the innuendo, I thought that my response to it was funny. Apparently a lot of people didn't think it was funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, in our testbench video I basically said something along the lines of, uh, well we've been receiving a lot of complaints about teasing future videos at the beginning of our videos, and the amount of innuendo in our videos, so I'd like to, so I wanted to, you know, formally address this, but instead,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a teaser of an upcoming video, and then I compared open test benches and closed cases to boxers versus briefs, which is not actually sexual. No, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, boxes and briefs. I-I didn't- I didn't think that that was-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Boxers and Breasts is also kind of just one of those classics, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had intended for the way, uh, for the way it was going to work in the intro, I had intended for it to also have kind of a humorous acknowledgement that what I was doing was stupid and not funny, where I wanted a hook to appear from the side of the screen and then reach for me to pull me off the stage. But we couldn't find anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were in a hurry and we couldn't find anything to kinda do that with and then, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, apparently it wasn't funny anyway, so... There you go, guys. Some people thought so. I thought so still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand that it was kind of distracting, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh well, we tried. We tried, sometimes we fail, and that's okay. We hope you guys forgive us. Speaking of forgiving us, uh, Panasonic's Lumix CM1. I am willing to forgive anything Panasonic might have ever done in the past. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tom's Hardware.co.uk posted this one, and this looks freaking awesome. Now, I originally said this back when Samsung did the Galaxy camera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the, here, I'm just gonna go ahead and pull this up. The Lumix CM1 will have a 1-inch sensor in what is otherwise a phone, a Leica lens, and it's planned to go on sale for somewhere in the neighborhood of a very, very entry-level kind of, I don't even know what to call it, like a high-end point-and-shoot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's a bit more expensive than a high-end phone, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, uh, okay, so here we go. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. The Lumix CMs 1 pixels are four times bigger compared to the Lumia 1020s. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it has, so it has half as many pixels, but they're four times bigger which means they can capture more light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in comparison, the HTC One's ultra pixels were only 40-80% larger than other high-end smartphones at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically what this is gonna mean is we're finally going to have something that just sheer to the way that physics works, okay? Bigger light capturing area, much larger, much better, much bigger lens element in front of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Better pictures. This should be, assuming they don't completely screw it up, the best smartphone camera available, period. And, it's not gonna cost that much more than an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So 20 megapixel stills in both JPEG and RAW formats, as well as 4K video recording, although only at 15 FPS, which is likely a limitation of the Snapdragon 801 SoC. So that's from the Tom's Hardware article. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me just see, blah blah blah blah blah. So they've decided to position it more like a camera than a smartphone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that you can actually just make phone calls from it and literally only have one device that you need to carry around with you for people who are shutter buds. Really cool. I like that a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think it's fantastic. Uh, what else we got here? We actually don't have a ton of topics left. We've been blowing through stuff. Sup? Oh yeah, right, sponsors!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so for those of you who still don't know what Squarespace is, you know, it's funny how many people tell us, well hey, LinusTechTips.com is down an awful lot, don't you guys use Squarespace?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zero maintenance, always working, like, company website, not our community website. You can't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and this is something I've talked about before, but it feels very self-serving. So you can get affordable images from Getty Images, so that Squarespace is basically ensuring that people who build Squarespace sites will have them look as good as they expect them to look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could make an ugly Squarespace site. Like you could find ugly stuff and put it on the nicest template in the world and you'd still manage to make an ugly site. But Squarespace's whole mandate is that they want people to make beautiful websites that are functional and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so you can start a trial with no credit card required and start building your website today. And when you decide to sign up for Squarespace, make sure you use offer code LINUS so they know who sends you. Have you made much progress on your Squarespace site yet? Nope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] $120 or more worth of clothing every month for 60 bucks a month and it's hand selected by people who go through your style profile that you create in about a minute and send you stuff that's gonna make you look good. Well, they just did a huge giveaway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you get, essentially, $180 worth of clothing in your first package. So that's, uh, excuse me, so following months... Okay, whatever, I don't understand it anymore. I-I swear, I can never get a 5-4. Okay. Here. Let me just- I don't know when they send it to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Details are on 54club.com. Basically, okay, if you guys like the idea of not going into a stu- thank you Nick, hi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look good. Okay. Sony, Sony compensating PS Vita owners after false advertising. So in addition to overstating the device's ability to link up to the PlayStation 3, staff at the firm's ad agency are also accused of using their personal Twitter accounts to mislead the public.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to qualify for the payout, uh, users must live in the US and have bought a VITA before the 1st of June 2012. Those affected should be able to choose either $25 cash or credit refund or a $50 voucher which can be spent on a selection of video games or other services. I guess that's pretty much all there is to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, so this was posted by HowToGaming, uh, on the forum and the original article is from the BBC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the post here. Don't worry. Everything is fine. Uh, so this was originally posted on the forum by SOF006. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Uhm, oh, no, no, no, no. Okay, I have an idea. There we go. All good?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the video is basically IGN News saying a thing for like 30 seconds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And why is the Xbox One so big? Because I think we all are pretty much on the same page about how the Xbox One is significantly larger than the PlayStation 4, contains


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically the same hardware, but a less powerful version of it, contains no internal power supply, thanks to its massive external brick, whereas the PlayStation 4


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] R-R-O-D? Come on! You had several of them!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] cares about a power break. And then having better cooling for the unit without adding additional cost for, you know, like, intricate heat pipe systems or whatever else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ...is a totally legitimate reason to have something be a little bit bigger, as long as it's not too big. And when you look at the Xbox One console, well, it's meant to fit in, you know, like a, like a media center cabinet. And as long as it still fits in there, it's gonna be fine. And that's the problem!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well where's their monitor sitting? Is it on... the wall? No. Okay, then they can put it under the desk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of that much space mattering, uh, guys, let me, let me know in, uh, let me know on Twitter if you want me to do a, uh, a video on my, uh, my plan to, well, okay, you kind of know this already, I guess, but I have too many pairs of headphones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, your memory for what something sounds like exactly is on the order of seconds as opposed to being able to listen to headphones six months ago and like remember and be able to compare it to something new. So I actually have to maintain a fairly substantial collection of headphones in order to do side by side comparison.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not doing blind A-B testing yet, but at some point, I'd like to switch to something like that in the future. Uhm, but for now, I'm at least trying to continue to improve the process, so that means having things for side-by-side comparison, that means having a sound level meter, so that I can make sure that they are all dialed into the same volume before I'm testing, because things that are louder, subjectively sound better to us. That's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fact! That's like, period. If you're not using a sound level meter in order to ensure that the headphones are at the same volume level when you're listening to them, then who knows? I mean, it's just a freaking guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was wondering if you guys want to see me do like a blog video or something on like a management, a wall management system for headphones or something like that. So let me know, let me know on Twitter if you're interested in that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, yeaah, no, actually, oh. Oh, okay, totally unrelated to that, but, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this is, this is cool. This is kind of related to what he was talking about, but only sort of. Uh, this is an Indiegogo project that didn't get funded. I, I tend not to like to talk too much about crowdfunding projects on the show, just because, uhm, so much of the stuff that I've crowdfunding- Oh, why is that not working? This was up earlier today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm, well I tend not to like to talk about it too much because so much of the stuff that I've, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like, I don't like to give these guys too much attention if they haven't done anything in particular to deserve it. But this one is pretty cool and if I can get the page to load I'll bring it up. But basically it's like an MATX super tiny case that is capable of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The frustrating thing about this is we actually have the same problem back with Crysis 2. And uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Several, you know, benchmarking sessions with it before it ever actually ran out of activations. And then when we called them that time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said, well, we can't give you unlimited activations, but we totally understand your situation, but we can give you 50. And we have easily run it more than 50 times since then, so I'm pretty sure that they gave it like a lot more than that. So the fact that they didn't do it this time is very, very frustrating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so I found, I found this thing. So Luke was talking about that case that I want built that is about the size of a console and kind of how I want the internals laid out and uh, that's fine. Silverstone has already given me heck about, A, not coming to them with my ideas because they, and probably very, actually,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rightly so, see themselves as the leaders in properly cooled, small form factor cases. In unique form factor cases especially. Uhm, and, and B, they were like, well, we have some concerns with your idea because of this, this, this, this, this, and this. So I'm actually planning to discuss it with them at CES.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll, we'll see if maybe something comes of it, I have no idea. But this is pretty cool. So this is a crowdfunded project that never made it, uhm, that intended to put an MATX board


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keeping any of the, of the air, as long as you have a blower style graphics card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, keeping any of the heat from the graphics card from contaminating any of the other components. And this was a critical part of the design for my case, was we were gonna be able to keep it small.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, hold on a second. Their crowdfunding campaign was a disaster, but apparently NCIX Tech Tips has one coming. Oh, well there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be checking it out. That's cool. Cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got, uh, wheels from, uh, oh, okay. The guy funded the first run out of his own pocket. So like so many of these crowdfunding campaigns, the, uh, the crowdfunding is probably just, you know, a way to help do something that they were already planning to try to do anyway. Uhm, moving!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a few people comment that it was presumptuous of us to put we're moving in our thumbnail when we were crowdfunding for the move. The crowdfunding is to help with the move. We're moving. To help us build sets. We are moving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are going to move. It might take longer. We might not be able to afford nice sets or, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where, and you know what, the truth of the matter is, I don't blame him for this. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when I watched the part of the tech that it came from, it was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obvious that they were goofing around. They were talking about my badminton gambling debts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Wendell building a robot bird that was stuck in a badminton center that I uploaded a video of a bird that was stuck in like on my Linus cat tips channel two or three years ago and they like zoom in on the thing and they're like blah blah blah Illuminati and like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, somewhere in that whole, obviously goofing around, trolling the heck out of everyone segment, they said something like, we made 2.4 million dollars last year, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brings in, obviously Linus' making. MAKING! 2 mil- 2.4 million dollars a year, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I basically went, dude, can you, can you issue a public sort of retraction of that, uh, because people are misinterpreting it and going, oh, you guys are crowdfunding when you make 2.4


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he just said something, so he's like, okay, and he sends out a tweet today, and so I, like, I retweeted it and I'm like, yeah, obviously a joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kinda feel bad, and so public, public statement from me, dude. Don't feel bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I laughed throughout the whole segment and I didn't even notice. Cause I, I assumed that I hadn't even watched the part with the 2.4 million part because I didn't notice it. I had actually watched that part. I just didn't notice it because it was all silly and I was, I was looking at, you know, Illuminati bird, conspiracy garbage. Not, uh, not, not that. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, dude, don't feel bad. I thought it was funny. It's just a couple people on the internet that apparently take things way...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People misinterpreting him and then repeating it as if it's fact loses the context of the joke. And so that is the problem, not anything about the joke that was an issue. So, anyway. Sony has an innovative watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Innovative is a word. Uhm, this was originally posted by TechDreamer, and the original article here is, uh, the one that I liked better was from, uh, Gizbot, I think, here. Uhm, an innovative watch made entirely out of e-paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's a, I'm gonna, I need a faster way. Like I need to set up like a tab system so that I can sort of alt-tab-tab and I can, uh, Oh my gizbot link is no good. Anyway, the watch is made entirely out of e-paper. They've got a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, okay, the strap and the watch surface are made out of e-paper and the idea is that you can change the look of your watch, uh, very easily. So you could have like, it looks kind of like, um, you know, leather or it looks kind of like metal finishing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So 60 day battery life off of a watch battery. Uhm, and, here, let me just fix the link. Boom! There it is!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I know, I know, but it looks pretty cool. So there's a video in the CNET link here, I'm just gonna fire this up, and you guys can check it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopefully I don't get a, uh, hopefully I don't get a strike for this. I've actually, I've actually gotten, uhm, copyright complaints from playing promotional videos for things in my, in my show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LG, I wanna say. Basically, their, their PR firm wasn't talking to the right people and just communicated something. Anyway. So, so the point is, oh, look how eye-grabbing this is. No, I don't think it's that attention-grabbing. I think this is a bit of a silly video. But I also think they're having some fun with it. Now, you might have noticed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the company, woah, hold on a second, what was that? That doesn't say Sony, that says Fashion Entertainments. S is for psss.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fashion entertainments. And, uh, this very tired looking man tells us about how it can, the look of it can be customized. It doesn't have a lot of the more traditional, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a watch though, it's not your shoes. No, no, the technology, they're looking at bow ties, uh, watches, shoes. Here's the uh, here's the bow tie one. I like, I don't know if the watch is the right product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think, I think it's cool what they're doing, uh, it's, it should be noted that there is no Sony branding on it, so uhm, so FES, uh, Fashion Entertainments is a subsidiary of SOTY, so even though they're not really talking about it, and they've actually raised, uh, 3.5 million yen, 30,000 US dollars from more than 150 supporters via crowdfunding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order to get this idea off the ground. I do find it interesting that a company like Sony, if we're gonna get criticized for crowdfunding, then Sony, mind you, Sony is more broke than us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have more assets, but they, they, they may have less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but, okay, no, I know, I know, but like, if we, if we look at it in terms of-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then they still have their assets. I know they have the assets. Uh, holy crap, is it 6 o'clock?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause there's a whole bunch of stuff that I still really wanted to talk about. This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but again, they have a crowdfunding campaign, even though most of the time the crowdfunding video at least sort of shows off a sort of functional product of some sort. This secret bracelet is just obviously not even anything other than a pipe dream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the idea behind it is very cool. So there was a simple sketch, then a first molding, now it's a dream. Okay, a simple sketch and a molding?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The jump to dream is not real far. Not a whole lot of progress has been made. Basically, the way they want this to work is you'd have this, this bracelet that projects your phone onto your wrist. And they're like, oh yeah, the way it's gonna work is, uh, let's see. No, they don't have any diagrams here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I kind of wonder if this is just a way to drive more traffic to their secret app, which is just, uh, like an encrypted messaging app.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, like the campaign video looks pretty sleek, and if it wasn't so poorly done, I might even believe they'd made some progress on it. But this is just nothing. And then this is just a motion-tracked screen, and then they're, you can see, like, they're just kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See? Cause he's not holding his wrist still enough. Uhm, so the way it's supposed to work is there's like a Pico projector thing here. And then there's proximity sensors all along the edge here. So that as you put down your finger, you stop the beam and it knows how far away your finger is, it knows which beam you broke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it's where you press, but the problem with that is they show things like typing on a keyboard, and then if we go later on in the campaign video, like, I can see how people who aren't that tech savvy might fall for this, but this is just straight up not gonna work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I wish I could find the part of the video. Yeah, there we go. So with seven of those, if the way it works is by interrupting the beams, you will not be typing on a keyboard. It will have no idea where you're pressing. With that level of detail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, it wouldn't be like that, cause they could have an on-screen keyboard, as long as it all lined up and the buttons were nice and big, then it could work, cause it knows how far away you are and it knows which beanie to use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so it could work, but it won't work with any kind of traditional keyboard, and it's obviously nothing more than just like, basically like a razor project, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, this is, this is one more just kinda silly thing that I wanted to, uh, I wanted to talk about. So, a dedicated one key hash key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But now it's for social media junkies rather than people who want to restart their computers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's called Hash Key, and it's an idea for a tiny one-key keyboard that only does one thing. Put hashtags instantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's actually doing not bad. Like the crowdfunding campaign is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, one commenter here on Gizmodo actually brought up a very good point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And said, have y'all ever seen a British, it's a British Kickstarter, have y'all ever seen a British Mac keyboard? Where is the hash key? Whoa!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who cares? We need to stop hashtagging things anyways. They got their own pound. Yea, actually. I didn't realize that, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good. I don't need it. I didn't realize that, uh, it's not called Pound outside of North America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's always been hash, hash sign. And then a hash tag is just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is cool, uhm, speaking of social, our forum, AdamTheGeek, just posted, I just got to Pebble Steel, since then I've been playing around making watch faces, made a Wanshow watch face!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I just wanted to, uh, wanted to share that little bit of fan art. I love this fan art stuff. It's cool. No one ever made fan art of us before except that one really creepy thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeah, so this was originally posted by Aming on the forum, and it's from HardwareZone.com. Sony is, uh, this is amazing. So they're releasing the VPL GT-Z1. This is a 55 kilogram,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Home theater set up. And you kinda went, you know what? My home theater set up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is not gonna have a projector mounted on the ceiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're a ball, okay, so like- 50 grand I think. Yea, 50 grand US.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, so to put this in perspective, this is 135 inch, uh, would be like the typical 4K projector distance. Uhm, this one sits 7 inches away. Now, it's not small, it's a meter wide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's pretty, pretty freaking cool. I thought that was, uh, that was pretty darn sweet. Uh, what else is there to say about it? Yeah, I guess that's pretty much it. I think that's pretty much it for the show for today, unless you had anything else that you really wanted to hit. Guys, thank you so much for watching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the hope is that the guy putting the dirt in will suffocate the guy taking the dirt out and then they can just keep on digging. They can get rid of that guy. That's not the hope. Well that might be their hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's not a whole lot of spoiler to happen. It's like, it's like, basically like a two second snippet. And then it's like, dipped to black dramatically. And there's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously a Sith, uhm, you know, firing up a lightsaber that's actually got like a hilt on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it is, it is amazing how emotion invoking just that music is. That music with some kind of imagery to it.

[Assistant] I, I, I, I do love Star Wars, and if, I think, I said this on, uh, on Netlinked today, uh, over on NCIX Tech Tips, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Abrams screws this up... He's gonna be called Jar Jar Abrams? Y-yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I still like the joke even if it isn't yours. Because, like, Star Trek?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I enjoyed the movies, but there was really no risk that I wasn't going to enjoy the movies. I'm not a Trekkie. Like, I watched a bunch of Next Generation with my dad when I was a kid, but like, as an adult and even as a teenager, I never got into any of the Star Trek series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, hold on, apparently that's not confirmed yet. Okay. Okay, no. The decision isn't final yet. Okay, good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fun space movies that I don't really care about. Star Wars is a whole other ball of wax. I'm sure Nick has official verdict.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, not been decided. Uhm, so Star Wars I have a much more, I like read tons of the books and like I owned like Star Wars like encyclopedia reference style books like the ultimate guide to vehicles and weapons and characters and like read them cover to cover multiple times as a kid like I'm a Star Wars kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if he screws this up. If I hear any mention of midichlorians, I will walk out of the theater. Like straight up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Purple Empire one, and then the, uh, Maroon Return of the Jedi one, and Black Box set. But I also own the gold one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, so there you go, the remastered ones, the gold one is pretty bad. It's got a lot of remastered crap in it, Greedo shoots first, it's terrible. But the one that I owned before that is the one that I grew up watching over and over again, Han shoots first, the way that he should have. It's not even a debate, I don't even understand what there is to debate about it, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People, Star Wars people need to just get together and I'll go, look, we're not gonna talk about this anymore because there is no debate. Any movie where Han doesn't shoot first is not a Star Wars movie. Any movie that mentions midichlorians is not a Star Wars movie. Any movie that has Jar Jar Binks in it is not a Star Wars movie. And... Revenge of the Sith, I can...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I enjoyed it, but I have never once rewatched it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, maybe I'll go back and give it another shot. Uhm, see if, see if it still holds up to being not complete garbage. Use the force, Harry. Quoting Gandalf. Thank you for that. Jerk. You're banned. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the Twitch chat is full of Han, Han did not shoot first and so the show is over. Thanks for watching guys, peace. Bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greedo shot first. Until next Friday. Yeaah. Then we'll do it again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else we got? There's a candied attempt at trademarking the word candy. Only a few people understand that. Uhm, and Nvidia the black is back. We'll talk about that more later on as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or unless it was like at a maximum capacity already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've, I've, I've talked about this in a few, I think at least two, I'm not sure exactly how many of my videos at CES, where I would cover something at a booth and I would be like, this would really be cool to put in your own built by yourself steam machine because you don't need to go buy one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there was like literally no one to build it for them but I don't know anywhere that there is no one to build it for you because places like NCIX and I know of a lot of other small computer stores as well will just charge you like 50 bucks and then build it for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is what I did. I actually haven't touched one. Other than at the NCIX LAN.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys that are interested in jumping on the beta, it's not the like steam account beta opt-in. That's for other stuff. This is, you have to go find the in-home streaming group and join the group. Uhm, so it's, it's not gonna, it's not your auto opt-in that you might've set on your account settings. It's actually more than that. Which some people did not realize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. This brings back the, uh, I'm excited for, like, next generation thing, but not necessarily for valve streaming. I want faster internal home networks. Right. So that we can actually support all this stuff a lot better, because I've found especially wireless has been a big issue in this term.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I was thinking we should do like a big roundup so we can just add that as the like extreme ridiculous level of the roundup. Cause we should have like a netbook and a bricks and a gaming laptop and a medium desktop and a big desktop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like a 4k setup. That sounds like way more work. Well we can exclude some of those. But like, what I mean is like, have a range of stuff and show that it's probably mainly network that actually matters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A gigabyte. I must have been looking at the wrong thing. One gigabyte per second? Yeah, they want you to be able to download a movie in a second. And they want you to be able to access the internet on a 500 mile an hour bullet train.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the, the, uh, 5G technology that they're showing off can beam gigabyte per second over more than gigabyte per second over a distance of two kilometers. Unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's a good point. This won't be ready for commercial until about 2020 and they're gonna do like testing of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and this second service was tested a lot by Samsung, and Samsung was able to beam faster than, like I already said, faster than gigabyte.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] per second for two kilometers. This would enable people to access it on bullet trains going faster than 500 kilometers an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is ridiculous. I might have said 500 miles previously. It's 310 miles an hour, 500 kilometers an hour. Uhm, that's absurd. Right now the cap is 300, uhm, kilometers an hour.
