[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's probably fair. But then they just need like one techie dude in their crew to hook them up with cellphones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need more of those like classic gangster squad groups where there's like the hacker guy on the laptop and like the thug dude and then like the funny guy that drives the car and like, yea. Anyways, that's how crime works in my mind. Every movie ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the yellow pages started, was it literally everyone was in it? Uh, like everyone with a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I had looked up people that I knew in the, I guess, white pages, like when I was a kid in order to be like, I know this dude's name, but I don't remember his phone number. And then I could just find him, literally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The law isn't about buying phones and having them registered. The law is about being on a plan. Yes. Having a pay as you go plan. That's unregistered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you buy, I get, you can probably buy prepaid stuff. I wonder if it's gonna stop online sales of prepaid stuff. You might have to show your driver's license in store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not giving my SIN or SSN or whatever to any random like corner store or big box store employee. There's no way that's happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I refused to go to a, uh, Nick Light switched gyms. We used to work out together and he switched gyms. Uhm, and then the, the new gym, they take your bank account information and then withdraw money directly from your bank account. And I was like, okay, I'm not going to your gym. Cause it's just, I don't like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like giving, and like, I don't like giving people that kind of information, like checks passing back and forth, my mind is insane. I don't really want people to know me anyways. Yea. Just insanity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanna hear about another stupid gym payment story? Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a really cool gym in Langley that I liked a lot. Went there a few times. Tried to get a membership there. The problem was you have to pay on the exact same day every single month and you have to pay in cash in an envelope. And if you miss it, your key fob dies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't come in, you have to make an appointment with the guy that owns it, and then you can pay again. So, I was there for a month, and then never again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So right now you're seeing it where he's scaled it down quite a bit. But realistically, this is a previous recording. He's the one facing away from the main camera here. That's him and his daughter. That's a previous recording that he had just done in that room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like minutes before he shows this demo. So what he's trying to show is that you can do it in real time. You can have conversations with people or your family or your coworkers or whatever, and then you could theoretically play it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you wanna like relive a memory, so say you had, uhm, your family over for dinner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then give it to everyone in the family to either relive those fantastic memories or to prove your accusations later on, I guess, is where that may or may not have been going. Uhm, but this is cool for a whole bunch of reasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you go to the video and probably mute it, but go to the very beginning,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's interacting with a dude. Now, to be fair, all of this looks like it was kinda previously recorded, cause the skits are just so bad. But it might actually just be because the skits are so bad that it feels like it was previously recorded. Before he even said that you could record them, I thought they were recordings. So this, yeaah, he's interacting with this guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So theoretically, there you go. You see, he kinda like teleports into the room. And you can tell he's digital, but it's pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's not obviously exactly what you would see. So what the HoloLens would actually more kind of see is in the bottom left hand corner. So the color is much less accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't look nearly as good, but you can see where it's going, and this is a dev kit or whatever, so. It's pretty cool. See, like, they can't actually high five, uh huh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, uh, maybe not gonna like be in your home right away, but a super cool, this will actually eventually happen kind of deal. And once they get them down to the size of like kind of the lighthouse sensors for the Vive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which at this point I'm way more excited for than the Rift, but that's maybe for a different day. Uhm, hahaha. Once I get them down to that size and the HoloLens isn't this like giant thing that you have to wear on your face and it's more like glasses, that's gonna be insane. Absolutely insane. Ugh, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really like the idea of telecommuting, not necessarily telecommunication, but telecommuting, like being able to go to work digitally. I think that's going to be super cool, especially for congestion and population density in crazy cities, because if we get better internet infrastructure,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Outside of just cities and people are able to commute to work, which is 10 hours away, instantaneously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's awesome. We don't have to have everyone in these crazy high rises right really close to their work all the time. And we don't have problems like in Vancouver where our land in actual Vancouver is fairly restricted and everyone has to live super far out and houses cost like 2 million dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like, it's yes, exactly. Uh, so people being able to telecommute into Vancouver would help so many things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a company in Vancouver, Hootsuite, who has recently released a blog talking about how it's becoming excessively difficult for them to hire anyone because it's becoming excessively difficult for talented young people to live in Vancouver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's a mass exodus of like young talent in Vancouver. We don't live in Vancouver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just a corner, or whatever, cause it doesn't have to be very fancy on your end, but just where they sit, theoretically. And you could go see them, quite physically, you could see them working at their desk, and you could be like, what's that? And it could be projected, and everything could be kinda cool, I dunno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because compensator can't- I had someone message me the other day and they're like, how are you gonna do one when he just made-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you make a coooompensator? Which was not nearly as expensive as that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When that just happened. I think it can still happen. I think so. Because it's more... The compensator was never like literally the most insane thing you could possibly build. No. It was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are the most expensive but still consumer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know that. I do. Okay. Yes. I wonder what those are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Obviously, April Fools. When I clicked on it, I was very surprised at how long it was. But, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the actual landing page seems kind of fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because all I saw at first was the uhm, and they super try to harvest your email with a pop-up right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, it's literally a product that's actually been made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like if you buy, if you buy like a, like a, they only come in packs up to four. You buy like SLI packs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get like a slight discount if you buy like dual SLI. If you SLI them together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you buy them together, you can like click them together and then drink from like one thing, but it's both of them or something. I don't know. It'd be kinda cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the NZXT thing seems like an afterthought that they put a good web designer on, and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're like, try to get this out really quickly and oh yeaah, don't forget, make sure you try to harvest as many emails as you possibly can when they try to watch this. Which kinda sucked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Nvidia thing actually seemed really genuinely good. The Razer thing seems like they got super massively into it. This is so cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually ended up watching a fair amount of these videos because they're just kind of awesome. Have you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so it, it actually doesn't explain it that well here. So what's really going on is they had Snoop Dogg sit in a theater with some other, I'm assuming, YouTube employees and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They watch the videos on a big theater screen, so like this, and he just comments the video from the background. So you can like turn it around and look at him, and he'll just like talk about the video while it's playing. But it's Snoop Dogg, so it's awesome. And then you can rotate it back and actually like watch the video. I don't, it's actually kinda cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was one where they put a ton of effort into it and it actually kind of worked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's, it's a, it's a, like a headset thing that just makes it so that your phone is like in front of your face. Uh, it goes with their binge on thing where you can watch tons of different services without using your data. So their whole idea is like, well, if you're using that service and it's not using your data, you can just do it all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dissect your point, I guess. But yeaah, I like the Rs. Uhm, yeaah, NVIDIA, NVIDIA I think had a very well executed one. I enjoyed YouTubes the most, which I'm not too surprised about. YouTube always does such a great job. There's more Google ones in here that I guess didn't make it into the doc. Like the, I think it's called the Google parachute? Yeaah, that's in here. Oh, nevermind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and this one's kind of annoying because oh, it worked for you. I had to put in a zip code before I could actually see it, but this one's kind of funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is kind of crazy, so apparently you can, uh, write .sh scripts on Windows and they're getting command line and stuff because they're baking that into Windows 10 and I have no idea why they're doing this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uuuh, well people being more used to things and stuff is cool, but like, I just, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how to phrase this properly. I understand why this is gonna be cool for people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm surprised Microsoft did it and I don't understand why they did it. Like what would be your inspiration as a Microsoft employee to be like, we should do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying it's a bad idea. I think it's a great idea. When I read that, I was like, wow, that's really cool. Makes things easier in a whole bunch of different ways. That's awesome. I'm just, just doesn't seem like Microsoft. That's all. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] University of California Irvine announces an esports scholarship. So by the start of 2016, six private schools had developed scholarships based on the game, which is, uh, League of Legends in this kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, this is the first public state run school to officially support e-sports. Um, they're talking about building a like little land cafe and everything on campus, which I guess would be kind of like your field.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're giving scholarships and stuff, you should probably have somewhere for them to go. Anyways, the, the cafe will be built in the model of Korean PC gaming cafes and will offer a premium League of Legends experience. I wonder if that includes my favorite part of those cafes, which is where they like, bring you food and stuff directly to your thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I seriously doubt it, so they probably mean like, sponsored gaming chairs. But like, still, uhm, I don't know, this is kinda cool, I- We're getting closer and closer to like, VJHS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We like actually are. So that's gonna get interesting. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] E-sports is cool, this is cool, like, it's, it's starting to become a very viable career for an actually not insignificant amount of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I had a conversation with Gigabyte about their nucks. Really? Or their bricks. Their bricks. And the guy was like, yeah, like, uhm, we put mad on it, I hope that's okay. I think it was a monitor guy from me. Oh yeah, no, it was, it was the guy that manages bricks. He's like, we put mad on it, I hope that's okay. I was like, that's awesome! He's like, oh what, you're not like mad that there isn't glossy? I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I shouldn't have said our videos. Like, like, have you, have you looked at reviews of things at all? Like the, the, what, what, what was it? The Fury, uh, Nano? That has like the glass over top of the Glossy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good job, but you know what I'm, yeah, whatever. Uhm, someone did it, it looked great, that was a good implementation of it. Just putting glossy plastic, especially in places that you're gonna touch, is so dumb, and I don't understand how they haven't figured this out yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just do it. Dude, the door is locked. Blow it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so welcome to the WAN show, you guys. We have zero viewers. It's always like that at the beginning of the show, but every time I discuss it, I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay, anyway. Discussing the live viewers is totally irrelevant to all the 200,000 or so people who watch the WAN show in the archive every week, so... But Tintu isn't. Tintu! Access Granada. Kind of is, because we did it in the after party. Fair, they have no idea what's going on. But then again, I did include as a highlight in our winner announcement video,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just that part of that video, so yeaah. And a couple other like really golden moments as well, so yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I actually, normally I don't just watch our videos like for fun because I'm in a lot of them and I don't really have anything to say that would teach myself anything at that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I usually have, well I've heard enough like, complaining about all the negative things, and I've heard enough like, oh okay, come look at this, this is really cool, about all the positive stuff, that it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda got the highlight reel, I kinda got the highlight reel already, I don't need to watch this. So, so yea, but I actually watched our ultra wide winner announcement just so I could see the highlight reel again, cause we got some great entries. They were really awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so what do we got for the show today? Ah yes! Big news! NVIDIA! Dropping prices! For- for Black Friday! Yeah. Wooo!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you lose your thing? That's weird, did I lose my what now? The thing? The thing. Your dock, do you know what you're calling out next? Yeah, I know, I got it, it's right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no no, I just, I realized that the uhm, the announcement is not live on YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I know, I thought I had. Yeah, it didn't work from here for some reason. Oh. Oh, I clicked save, that's why. Alright, so also in the news this week, Li-Fi Internet, also known as Linus Fidelity Internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For as long as they don't cheat. Cause it's Linus' fidelity, not Linus breaking all the rules.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically it doesn't work at all. What else we got? Except this one does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, at the baseball game. Like projectiles. Yeah, so now like everyone in the upper, in the upper deck has to have plastic cups or something, something, something, yeah. I mean, it was really interesting hearing them talk about this on the radio, cause the only radio I listen to is sports radio, so if you ever hear me talk about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What they talk about on the radio, it's gonna be beer cans being thrown off the upper deck at a baseball game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it was really interesting hearing them talk about this because people had such varying opinions. Number one is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hooligans should shoot them all. People who are throwing things off the upper deck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, opinion number two was, what is your toddler doing at a baseball game? Cause the kid was like one year old. Wow. So like, why are they at a be-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] FreshBooks doesn't have a promo, but it's still cool anyway. FreshBooks!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so uh, this is the best, uh, this is the best, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Comment in the Twitch chat, why are the parents subjecting their child to baseball?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's hardcore into baseball and golf. And I'm just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fishing is fun because you get out on a boat with a bunch of bros and you drink beer. That's why fishes. That's why anyone fishes. Like I get such a kick out of people who are like, yeah, like competitive fishing and blah blah blah. And I'm like, yeah, competitive fishing is like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is like this tiny, miniscule percentage of the people who actually have any idea what the crap they're doing and are convert- and are actually using skill to catch the fish better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of fishing, like, oh sorry hun, you know, I gotta go, I gotta go really early. That's when the, the fish are bitin'. Also, you know, that's, I need a couple minutes to like go and dig my like huge case of beer out of where I stashed it and get that in the boat without you noticing it, cause you're not awake yet. Like, come on! Baseball is pure socializing. Sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's a mind game, it's strategy. And I'm like, okay, to an extent. But like bowling, or like golf,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is, there is, there is a certain amount of, if you have a whole team full of people who are straight up individually skilled better than the other team, there's actually not a whole lot of strategy that you can do to beat that team. And I know, you know, operating as a cohesive unit, this and that, et cetera, that's all very important, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, people are giving me, people are hitting on NASCAR in the comments. I would argue that NASCAR is actually way more legitimate than baseball, I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks really repetitive. And it's quite repetitive to watch. I don't watch it. I will never watch it. It's super boring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, people are asking for a topic. I'm like, I guess so. Alright, so original post here is from WCCF Tech. Boom! NVIDIA's entire 900 series GPU lineup gets price cuts for the holidays!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Including the GTX 980 Ti, which I think we had covered when we said 900 series. The 980, which I think we- Does 900 series- Is 980 in the 900 series?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just take an entire year to troll people. Yes, an entire year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] May not see the same, or even similar, price discounts. Nvidia's doing that thing again, where they act like a really America-centric company, where, kind of like how the Shield was only available in America. Uh, if I recall correctly, Grid Beta was only available... No, cause I had it in Canada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, okay, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna nail them on Grid Beta. Uhm, but I will definitely nail them on Shield, only being available in America. Uhm, so they're kinda doing that thing again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, okay, to be clear, I do understand all the logistics involved in coordinating a price drop with your resellers because the kind of accounting involved in


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paying for things after you receive them, but then less some kind of discount, but if you sell through the units within that period, then it's not less the discount. It's actually pretty complicated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some distributors are not set up correctly to do it and blah blah blah blah blah. Like it actually is complicated, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think America only super sucky, like I think you could have at least done sort of a smattering of territories where they are somewhat set up for it. Like I'm sure, you know, caseking.de can handle how to do a point of sale rebate. So yeah, yeah, pretty, pretty frustrating. In other news!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting fact, I did not realize it was called the R9 Nano. I thought it was called the R9 Fury Nano. I don't understand why they didn't call it the Fury Nano. What? It is not called the R9 Fury Nano.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was trying to buy some, and I couldn't find them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, Trusted Reviews calls it the Fury Nano, Anontek calls it the R9 Nano, Anontek got it right, WCCF Tech got it wrong, but that shouldn't surprise us. Uhm, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yea, actually this is interesting, I need 7 of them, and AMD was going to send them to us, but after confirming they were going to send them to us, they were like, hey, we can't. Uhm, so I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, okay, I guess I'll buy them then, cause I super need them for this project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, oh, I don't know. And, uh, Intel, Kingston, Asus, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I'm sure there are other, there are other people have already sent me the hardware to do this project. So I pretty much have to do it now. Case Labs is like doing a custom painted case for me for this project. The project must go forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, so, so hopefully they'll, they'll reimburse us. That's gonna be expensive. Something like that. No, no, I think the plan is for them to reimburse us or something, but it was just, it was like a complicated, hey, we thought we had them, turns out we didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we had a lot of people asking why our 380X, uh, review video was late. And the answer is that we straight up got briefed on it. Like, we got our reviewer briefing, and we got our press deck, and our reviewer's guide, and all that stuff, and we were like, we were like, ready. And then the card just didn't show up. Yep. So, yep. It's up now on Vessel, so that's cool. Yay!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's almost as good as we get all the time on Scrapyard Wars, except not even close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Probably. Probably. They always say no, but like, come on. I always get such a kick out of that because, okay, guys, pro tip for buying used hardware. If the posting says, wasn't my


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wasn't mined on. It was definitely mined on. Or never overclocked. It was definitely overclocked. It was definitely mined on and overclocked. It's like, it's like lady driven, you know? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no way you never tinkered with the dial a little bit. Or maybe you didn't. Maybe you didn't. Maybe you're the one honest person on the internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good for you. Good job. Yea. Alright, so we've got our next topic here. Original article here is from the IB Times. Twitterplates? Uhm, about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Which price drop do you think is more impactful? Who had the best? I want to hear from you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're shopping for a video card, everyone else butt out. If you're shopping for a video card, who has enticed you more with their holiday specials? Green team or red team?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tweet at LinusTech, go go go. And in the meantime, we're gonna do this topic before we uh, before we revisit that, so. It's interesting how the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huge spy networks at each other's companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like the tech industry is a completely inbred...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like that happened. Uh, so, Li-Fi Intranet, the first real world usage, boasts speeds a hundred times faster than Wi-Fi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so the visible light spectrum is 10,000 times larger than the radio waves we use for Wi-Fi today, which is a very good point. Uhm, because the- People got it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh good. Because the, the reason that, the reason that the rate at which we can send data over, over wifi is limited is because there's only so much spectrum available and a lot of it is already allocated for other stuff that isn't your phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, a bunch of other people said it was fine. Oh, it's just crooked, who cares? Oh, whatever. No, no, don't, no, Morgan, I'm gonna make it worse. Do it, yeaah. Yeaah. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, infrared kinda sucks. Infrared's not super fast. We've known this for a long time. I mean, remember when, remember when computers had like, infrared data ports on the side of them? And then we all completely gave up on that because it was trash. Do you remember Gameboys? That never worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome! But infrared is fine for things like, hey, I need to change the channel, where you're sending extremely small amounts of data, so that's where it really still finds its use. Modern LEDs, however, could transmit enough data for a stable broadband connection, but still look like normal white light. So look at that! Up to one billion bits per second!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you better be maintaining like, a line of sight to your, uh, to your, uh, li-fi hotspot there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, yep, or it could be, well, mmhm, yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Assuming that there's no- I like- I don't know how they're handling light pollution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And something that's really unclear to me at this point too, is if we're gonna transmit data via light...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if we're gonna transmit data by light, then are the, are the receivers and transmitters for this really going to be less expensive than a typical, you know, multimode fiber?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In which case, if we're gonna send data by light, and it has to be line of sight, should we just run a piece of fiber?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, it doesn't really address, I mean, okay, so picture this, you're like, you're playing a game, right? Play a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh crap. Oh no. My hotspots right there. Now to be clear, I don't think anyone exp- I lost my MLG match. We should do more skits. We probably should. That was great acting. Pretty much grade A. Uhm, now to be clear, I don't think anyone expects us to replace Wi-Fi, but as a supplementary connectivity option to Wi-Fi, so when you-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like when you're close to the access point, having it be, you know, like what's the fastest speed they've managed to achieve right now? Like 224 gigabytes per second in lab conditions? Like that's pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, just to put that in perspective, 224 gigabit speed would technically allow for 18 movies of 1.5 gigabytes each to be downloaded in a single second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, the Patriot, the manly, manly way. Back when everyone and their dog was like, we should have a hard drive with wifi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally, everyone and their dog. Like, we made videos for the Voyager Air, the Seagate Free Agent Go Flex, Free Agent Go Flex, I think that was the one, Wi-Fi, anyway, and the Patriot, uhm, Gauntlet, or no, Gauntlet? I dunno.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, whatever, whatever it was. Arrow, arrow, it's called the arrow, I think. Anyway, within like six months or something like that, it's like, this is ridiculous. And now everyone has completely forgotten about the product category as far as I can tell. Well, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have used them. On trips. Yes. They're great for going on trips. If you're on a plane and you ignore the request to turn off wireless transmitting devices,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which anyone, which is probably fine, then you can definitely bring a wireless drive with you, and you can definitely watch movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's always funny to me when, when, uh, when sites use examples that are just straight up, like, they must be piracy, like, why would a movie be 1.5 gigs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, is 1.5 gigs the average size of like, a compressed blu-ray rip or something? Because it sure as hell isn't a DVD. It sure as hell isn't a video CD, as if any like, real releases were ever done on those. And it's sure not a blu-ray. So what is this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's a one, what's a one and a half gigabyte video? It's a home movie. It's a home movie, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, so before mass adoption, current devices need to be retrofitted to support li-fi. Every LED in the future could be used as an alternative to Wi-Fi, I mean. As long as it was, like, not connected at all like it is now. Yeaah, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I guess, copper is gonna be a thing for a long time. I'll be interested to see where this goes, cause I'm sure we're thinking, like, we both have our minds, like, stuck in the now a little bit right now, I think. Where we're thinking home networking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're thinking home networking, but maybe there's applications for this that just go way beyond that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and I don't know what they are exactly, or, or, or maybe, maybe this technology could be used for cheaper, cheaper fiber optics, or something along those lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I would imagine the sun would just wreak havoc on this. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But one other advantage is that it doesn't interfere with other radio signals, which- Cuz it's light! If you know anything about light, you should probably have already known that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was kinda brutal. Original article here is on Ars Technica. Sorry? Twitterblitz. Oh right, the Twitterblitz! Okay, and then we'll get back to that. Man, that, that, that was a, uh, who thought that was a good idea? Alright. Everyone's talking about it. We haven't done, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting it used may be overclocked on 1990 from work for 40 pounds. Wow. So Team Red is my best bet, yeaah, okay. Do that up. That doesn't count, but yes, do that. That's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, AMD because their new driver doesn't take 10 seconds to launch and configure anything. You know, I gotta give you that. Why does GeForce Experience take so long to launch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what the funny thing is about Nvidia? Is they've got all these amazing, cool, like really complicated features that work within the driver and work within your games and actually work really well. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They try and build a control panel to let you turn the switches on and off, and it's like... Nope!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With that said, I've got my, I've got my complaints about AMD's drivers as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just saying. Uhm, alright, AMD becau- oh yea, no, we just said that. Here's your answer, look at that! Ordered a 390, BAM! 300 bucks! Yep. Oh, right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great, nice. Yep, very nice. Just seems very low. Red team. Look at how many- Okay, Zacros, the first one! First one for the green team here!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Project documenting my subs. Okay, that's not really on topic. Also not on topic. Also not on topic. No, well that's on topic, but you're done. Fix the mic. No, not gonna happen. NVIDIA, AMD, NVIDIA because I need CUDA for development.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, AMD's doing that whole CUDA thing, so uh, Nick, you might wanna stay tuned, cause I'm not sure, I'm actually not sure what the exact status of it is. Like I don't know if the latest driver, boom, turned on CUDA, or if support is gonna be as good, or if it's gonna be as fast for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uh, the, the word on the street, I, I read this article a week or two ago, uh, but the word on the street is that AMD is, has got some kind of licensing deal for CUDA now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so yeaah, stay tuned for that. Uh, red team, green team, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, what else we got for topics today? Terrible thing that we almost- Right, yeah, this. This is like, I don't know what they were thinking. Just what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazon backtracks after covering New York City subway car and Nazi symbols. Uhm, so here's a tweet from Katherine Lam, 42nd street shuttle to Times Square covered in Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan symbols for an Amazon ad. Is this okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I'm thinking a lot of people kind of went with no. Now, to explain...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A German eagle and German cross in it, and then it's like the Japanese war flag with stars and stripes? Like it, like it's kind of, it's a super weird thing, and it's for, you can see this right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where, where just like everyone before them, whoever thought attacking Russia was a good idea, they also decided attacking Russia was not a good idea. Wait, no, hold on. Just like, whatever. The point is, attacking Russia has never worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ever. I'm not convinced the Russians could take over Russia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It definitely got, so let's talk. Was it inappropriate? I personally fall into the yes, that was totally inappropriate camp. Uhm, what do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, maybe they just kind of thought, well, you know, hey, we're not saying it would have been a good thing if the Axis forces won World War 2. That's not what happened here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't, well obviously I haven't watched the show yet. I intend to watch the show now, so that leads us to our next question. Effective marketing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, I would not have cared. Well, not that I wouldn't have cared. Someone could have told me about that premise for a show and I would have gone, yeah, alternative history, I'm kinda into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I probably, I wouldn't have heard about it. Cause I wouldn't have been browsing, you know, Amazon for TV shows that are coming. That wouldn't have happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? I've got a really good comment in Twitch chat. Really good comment in Twitch chat. We should probably do a Twitter blitz on this as well, guys. Tweet at LinusTech and let us know, let us know your thoughts on this. But, this person went, well, hold on a second. They didn't put Swastikas up. So, they're saying that's the line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The line of swastikas, cause the German eagle and the German cross...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are definitely German symbols of that time in history, but they aren't the symbol of the Nazi party. And to be fair, not all German people were bad then. Not at all. To be very, very clear. Uhm, so, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I still think, I personally think it was over my line. It was over my line. I think we can all agree it was over everyone's line if they had the swastika on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, and High Castle. High Castle. Uhm, so here let me, let me see, let me actually have a look at uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, you know, maybe, maybe, yeaah, maybe they could have, maybe they could have even had one, one picture of a flag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like if it, here, so, so back to the, back to the pictures for a second. Yeah. So if they'd had the seat, have like a little flag, what if Hitler had one, High Castle, Amazon November 20th, like kind of like this messaging that they have up here. I think people, people would have asked the question as opposed to gone, what is this ad for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's go ahead, let's go straight to Twitter, let's get the people who got it really quick. Uh, someone says, I think even without Swastikas, it was slightly over the line. Uh, it's just a way to get people talking about the show, easy marketing. Due to Amazon's unfairly treated employees, this happened? What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, the eagle was not a symbol of the NSDAP, otherwise it would have been banned in Germany, which is not, and the Iron Cross is still used. Oh wow. So there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it might have been the other way, or whatever. Not gonna draw one, cause I'm sure that would get jift to hell. Uhm. Can you even imagine? Anyway, the po-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the point is, is that the meaning of things does change over time. Uhm, this is something that's been discussed a lot. You know, whether it's, uh, whether it's, uh, a word that's a slur and then turns into not one, or a word that's not a slur and turns into a slur, or symbols that mean one thing and then another thing, or hand gestures that become obscene over time. It's all...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all part of the fluidity that is the way that we communicate with each other. So, you can kinda run around and say, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The F word is a bundle of sticks and twigs all day. That's not gonna change what-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I use them interchangeably. They're both technically correct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, as a four-year Prime member, I've never used Amazon Prime Video. Okay, slightly on topic. Uh, fell in love with the show last year. Uh, it's entertaining, but not great and boring in some parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's probably how I would write a love letter to my wife. I fell in love with you last year. You're entertaining but not great and boring in some parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I personally feel the world needs to lighten up. This happened, all the big news moved past it. I think, you know...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would, I would suggest that anyone who thinks we should lighten up about anything that happened during World War II


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should probably go hang around at one of the museums in Auschwitz or Strasbourg or wherever else. And like for me, one of the most, one of the most revelatory experiences that I have ever had was standing next to the oven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And seeing like, the burned shoes that they had on display there. Like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, holy crap, this actually happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It actually happened, I'm standing right where it happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know a pro, it's still a novel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, this is kind of a rapid fire topic here, I guess, but uh, Samsung has done the unthinkable. They are putting TLC NAND. So that is 3-bit per cell NAND in an Enterprise SSD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'll explain for a very brief moment what a big deal this is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enthusiast and enterprise grade SSDs were SLC. So they stored one bit per cell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason that it was done that way is that was the only way to achieve reasonable enough write endurance, so that is how many times the SSD, the flash, can be written to before it fails over time as it is apt to do. Way to go Luke. Not bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over time, MLC, which is what we call, colloquially, 2-bit per cell flash, although MLC is technically anything that stores more than 1-bit per cell. So TLC, 3-bit per cell flash, is technically 3-bit per cell MLC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Colloquially, we call 2-bit per cell MLC, MLC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, MLC Flash showed up on the scene, and all of a sudden, SSDs got way more affordable for the consumer. Those of you who were kinda paying attention in the early enthusiast grade SSD days will probably remember the X25E and the X25M. Intel's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Game-changing SSDs, before which everything was kinda trash, like had serious problems that would cause them to go from being faster than a hard drive to actually slower than a hard drive if they got, like, uuuh, if they like hitched up on something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the X25e was only available in 32 and 64 gig configurations. And if I recall correctly, the 64 gig was like, monstrously, horrendously priced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, whereas the X25M, featuring MLC Flash, so the E was SLC, and the M, featuring MLC Flash, was available in ADN, I wanna say maybe the 160 came later, but it was ADN 160-gig configurations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, MLC got good enough, but it wasn't good enough for the Enterprise for a long time. That's where Enterprise MLC came in. So Enterprise MLC can do something to the tune of I think it's 10 times the right cycles of SLC, or excuse me, of MLC. Which still isn't as much as SLC, but SLC is just so cost prohibitive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the capacities are limited because you can store so much more data per flash chip using MLC technology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So EMLC happened. Now Samsung was the first to do TLC flash in a consumer drive with the 840... I wanna see... Evo... Oh crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure someone's gonna correct me. It was either the 840 or the 840 Evo. Can't remember exactly. Someone's gonna- someone's gonna correct me. Whatever. So they were the first to do a consumer TLC SSD. Since then, everyone else has been trying to do TLC. Some have released drives, but I don't know if you guys saw that latest one from, uh, Micron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's abominable. Like Samsung has


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Figured out, people are saying it's the EVO, thank you. Set, no, it wasn't the Pro, the Pro was, uh, was MLC. Okay, so the non-Pro was the TLC one. So, other guys have been trying to figure out TLC for quite some time now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because it gives you less write performance, and less endurance, but way more capacity, and it's cheaper. So Samsung figured out with fine-tuning their controller and the flash,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because they're one of the- one of the only, I think. Are they the only one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They might be the, okay, don't quote me on this, but Samsung may be the only completely vertically integrated SSD maker where they make


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The DRAM cache, they make the controller, they make the flash, they make the freaking, they assemble the freaking PCBs, they make, they do the firmware, they do the whole...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, while everyone else is still using eMMC, or eMLC, or worst case scenario, MLC for an enterprise-grade drive, Samsung is releasing a TLC drive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What this allows them to do, and I'm finally getting to this, what this allows them to do is deliver an enterprise SSD with a price of less than 60 cents a gig and a capacity up to 3.84 terabytes in a 2.5 inch form factor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're, they're using their 3D NAND and they're using TLC in order to get unheard of densities. We actually have a unit on route, uh, I haven't actually talked to Samsung in over a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, and it wasn't even me, I was just like, Nick, do we still have a contact at Samsung SSD?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because we haven't talked to them at all since they provided those drives for the forum. That was over a year ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just blew your mind, didn't I? So I was like, do we even still have a contact there? Cause I wanna check this thing out. So that is coming, and I'm super stoked because higher capacity SSDs cannot be a bad thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so looking at competitors, Intel's DC-S3510 has a maximum capacity of 1.6 terabytes, and Micron's M510DC tops out at just under a terabyte.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty cool stuff. And something to realize is when you choose a storage solution, it's never really as simple as, this drive is the best. It's always trade-offs, whether the trade-off is cost,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Capacity, read speed, write speed, endurance, uh, vibration resistance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, uh, uh, uh, uh, form factor, like density, how much of it you can cram in there, there's, there's all these different trade-offs. So this enterprise drive, even though it's not gonna be as heavy-duty for rights as another enterprise drive based on EMLC, or if you can find some rare SLC drives out there, SLC,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what it will be great for is really fast random reads if you need a lot of storage. So I could see, I could see someone like Facebook eating these up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I believe the front page is all in RAM right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they've moved all to RAM, however, that doesn't mean that having another way faster than mechanical tier that's way higher capacity isn't gonna help them out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big time. Like, big time. So, so there you go, that happened this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like super stoked on playing with that. You know what else happened this week? Is Seagate shipped us...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 35 of their 8 terabyte enterprise capacity drives. They've got a lot of people saying, yeah, but the write speed sucks. No, no. These are not the archival 8 terabyte drives. I'm aware of those. That is not what we have. We have the SATA 3 6 gigabit per second SATA


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enterprise Capacity Drives. So these are full read, full write. They are not quite as optimized for random as something like the SaaS version. Uhm, and they're just the basic one, they don't have self-encrypting drive functionality unfortunately, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're ballin', they're awesome, and I'm actually, I've been waiting for these for a lot of projects. I've got a lot of stuff planned for these drives. We're gonna do an on-site backup server. We're gonna do an off-site backup server. We are gonna investigate Unraid versus FreeNAS over the next little bit. Uhm, what else do I have planned? Right! And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heh, a video that I promised, months ago, when I originally did my FreeNAS build, and I was like, here's the Storinator, it's running FreeNAS, I promised to do a performance follow-up. Well, the performance on it has been trash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, too trash. Like, I did something wrong. There's something wrong with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem is that it had all of our data on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I couldn't, I couldn't reformat it. I couldn't, I, cause I think, I think it's a combination of things. It's using native 4k sector drives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's using the non-optimal, uh, it's using non-optimal numbers of drives per VDEV. And, uh, let's see, what was the, what was the other suspected issue? Anyway, there's a number of things that I might have gotten wrong during the configuration setup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I wanted to take another crack at it, but I've had nowhere to put that data!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm currently transferring at about 500 megabytes per second off of the FreeNAS and onto another machine, and then I'm gonna copy it somewhere else, so I'm gonna have it on a hardware RAID, and I'm gonna have it on a NUN RAID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While I retool the free NAS box and then copy everything back over there. So I'm pretty excited about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this is, this is, uh, this is very unfortunate. Uh, over on the BBC, Toddler's eyeball sliced by drone propeller. So brutal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. So the drone was flown by a family friend, and uh, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The operator lost control of the drone and he'll need several operations before he can have a prosthetic eye fitted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is, uh, which is really unfortunate. I mean it's one of those things where I don't think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are going to, uh, like I don't think we're gonna start seeing regulations in terms of whether you can fly drones inside your house or whatever else, but it has, it has certainly, it has certainly made me consider whether I would fly a drone even anywhere near my kids, even outdoors. Uhm, yeaah. I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause when they, when they go full runaway mode, they can move pretty darn fast. It can actually get a little aggressive. There's a fair amount of videos based on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, the drone pilot said it was up for about 60 seconds. As I brought it back down to land, it just clipped the tree and spun around. So, super, super unfortunate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could have helped, but hindsight is always 20-20 and you always- I mean, for the thousands and tens of thousands and probably hundreds of thousands of drone flights.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of the time, no one got their eyeball sliced open. Yes. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very cool stuff. Kinda cool. Smallest form factor ever. 65 millimeters. Someone's saying it's sold out already. Six and a half centimeters by 30 millimeters, so that's three centimeters, by five millimeters, which is half a centimeter. Sold out within 24 hours. Yes, friends. People were snapping these puppies up real, real quick fast. That's really cool. The amount of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got the- you've got all the parts you need for that other project that we ordered stuff for like ages ago. I'm hoping some of them-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh oh, we were unable to display Yahoo Mail. Please disable Adblocker to continue using Yahoo Mail.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if I, if I got that message, if I used an ad blocker and I was like, so I can't access my Yahoo mail, I'd just be like, okay, I guess I'll use another email service. I have to confess something. You still have Yahoo mail? Not me, my girlfriend. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that's only one step better than AOL. I know. Which is only one step better than using your ISP. Yep. Okay. It's like, it's bad. So you don't have to go to like- She also uses Apple Maps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to go to Tech Hell, but you do have to go to like Tech Purgatory for a bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. I mean, you have to accept that sentence. That was a light sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I was, I was, I was sitting watching my Google Maps on my phone and it was like traffic yellow ahead. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not accounting for the fact that nobody was moving. Which I thought was the ENTIRE POINT. So that it could map you around things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Nick, Nick claims that Apple Maps tried to send him 40 minutes away for Tim Hortons when he was literally 500 meters away from one. You know what? Google Maps has gotten a lot worse about that too. Like, you can't just be like, Home Depot. And it'll be, it'll be one in like, Coquitlam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's okay, there's- It's pretty bad. They're both pretty bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's that browser that just went into beta that everyone has high hopes? Yeah, Vivaldi. Maybe it's, maybe Vivaldi's our last hope. But like, did you like opera much? No, never, never, I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is interesting. Virtual reality needs tweaks. More women than men get motion sickness with Oculus Rift, a virtual reality headset. Very, very interesting. So this is a University of Minnesota study.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isn't this, isn't part of the study that more women than men get motion sickness? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uhm, yeaah, so, how it affects users, has found that for every three men that get seasick, five women will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can mean a number of things. Number one is it backs up what I said last week. Men and women are not the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, to be clear, I'm not saying they're not equal, I'm just saying that, you know, a pile of hammers is not necessarily better than six screwdrivers, depending on what you need. They could be equal, and just not the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's say a pile of screwdrivers. There, pile of hammers and piles of screwdrivers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 35% of the subjects got sick overall. So 65% were fine. Of those 35, 70% of them were women.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well what they have to work on is... The overall percentage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. And they're gonna tweak it down the road. Even V2 is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm probably just going to kinda live with feeling sick, cause I suspect I'm gonna feel sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I would be really interested to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause my wife can play TF2, Left 4 Dead, top down games, no problem. I put her in Portal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she was done. Within like a minute. Interesting. Yeah, as soon as she goes through a portal, she's like, oh, I'm sick. Nope, done. Done. Can't do it. So this is even somewhat, but, but while, while she can handle normal games,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like it's, it's, it's obviously, like it's obvious that there's gonna be some, there's gonna be some, uh, nature versus nurture here. But, here's an interesting fact, uhm, I used to get sick, I used to get car sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, pretty quickly, like within about five minutes of reading in the car, I would get sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, okay, well I would get sick no matter what. This is when I was a kid. Uhm, I love reading. I love reading and I loved playing on my game gear when I was a kid. Okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And eventually I'd give in, and I'd have to put it down, and I'd have to just kinda chill for like an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I could go, and then I'd go right back to it. So I do wonder if I've built a bit of a tolerance, and I wonder if that's something that other people have done as well. You just like force yourself through it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Cause like, I need to know what happens in the next chapter, and feeling sick is straight up not more important than that right now. I've been there. I've been there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so Sony is apparently working on a PS4 remote play app for the, well, for PC and Mac, which is pretty cool. So here's the original article from, uh, Linus Tech Tips. Uh, hold on, no, sorry, here's the original article from The Verge, sorry, my bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remote play is one of the PlayStation 4's most underrated features, probably because it only works on the Vita.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And some Sony smartphones that no one cares about. Something something. This app should bring Sony in line with Microsoft, which launched Xbox One streaming a while ago. Here's a tweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why can't I just buy a virtual PlayStation 4? Yes! If I'm willing to give Sony $400 to not make any hardware, shouldn't they embrace that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's gotten to the point now where Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are just PCs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're just PCs. There's NOTHING special about them. Which like, aren't even that well-priced anymore. So if I'm like, look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't need your UI. I don't care about your Netflix app. I don't care about any of this stuff. I really just want a game on my PC. Why can't I just give you my money? And then you can just make that work for me. I'd be interested to see how many people would do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, people can be upset all they want about, you know, well what, I have to pay $400 to get access to exclusive titles, uh, game developers should just release the titles on PC. Okay, but that isn't happening, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, what else we got here? Uh, in news that surprises absolutely no one, EA is already planning more Battlefront games. Yawn. EA confirms its deal with Disney, which is for like 10 years or something like that. Sup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh my goodness, we never did our sponsors. So speaking of, uh, whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phantom Glass! Yeaah. Wow, we have 8200 viewers right now. 8200 of you can use offer code WANPG for 20% off at phantom.glass slash promo. For the next 60 days. For the next 60 days. Really? That long?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice. Cool. So, oh yea, I guess I don't have the notes up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so yeaah, so these are Gorilla Glass Screen Protectors for a variety of devices. They've got a lot of different screen protectors. In fact, they've got their standard ones now. They've also got their new two-way privacy glass screen protectors available for some Apple devices. And, uh, I guess that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That phone, completely unscathed. Completely fine. Completely fine. So there you go. It's every bit as good as the Gorilla Glass that's already on your phone, except you can peel it off and you can replace it if you do something incredibly stupid like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really try to scratch it, because that's usually how Gorilla Glass gets scratched. With that said, interesting side note, Gorilla Glass is not all made equal. Uh, my iPhone 6s is already covered in micro scratches. Like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've, I've really noticed a significant difference from device to device. And the iPhone 6, for example, uh, both its own screen, which I used for a while before I put Phantom Glass on it, and the Phantom Glass screen that I had on it, were fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and FreshBooks! FreshBooks is the easy-to-use invoicing software that helps small businesses look professional, and actually be more professional, because you can-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can track your hours more easily and more accurately, you can send out invoices, get paid by credit card, through FreshBooks itself, and this is cool. If you run a small business, whether you run your own dance studio, or you have a plumbing business, or computer repair, or maybe you don't repair computers, maybe you just take viruses off of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was thinking physical repair, but there's lots of different kinds of repair. You know? Like love repair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. Like if you're a house painter or whatever else. Um, so yeah, it's super easy to use, it's cloud-based, um, lets you manage your expenses and spend your time doing what you should be doing as opposed to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tinkering around with your accounting software. So visit freshbooks.com slash when and get a free 30 day trial today. Don't forget to enter in the how did you hear about us section when.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of fixing things. Wow, that was actually, it's almost like we wrote that. Visit ifixit.com slash Linus and use offer code WANSHOW at checkout to save $10 on a purchase of $50 or more. And they've actually, where is it? Cause they have a new toolkit that I think, wait, am I supposed to talk about that yet? Yes! Yes, I am supposed to- I don't- Dang it, Nick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've got iFixit as your complete DIY electronics repair solution from their 15,000 free step-by-step repair guides to their huge inventory of replacement parts and tools with lifetime warranty. iFixit has got your repair needs covered and they've got an all-new ProTech tool kit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's got a re-imagined design, which, I mean, okay, so you kinda access the tools a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Better. It makes the tools easier to access, which is I guess where the reimagining comes in. It includes the new 64-bit driver kit, which replaced the former 54-bit driver kit. It's got a more durable case, it has a newly designed swivel top precision driver, and a flex extension for hard to reach screws.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so yeah, basically it just includes more iFixit goodness, and... Yep. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, no, I'm liking it, and like the, uh, like the screwdriver has a really nice, uhm, knurled bottom on it now, so you can get a little bit more torque with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's, it's, it's thicker in general, and we, as we all know, thicker is always better. Uhm. Thicker, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is really cool, I actually hadn't seen it before. And it's not the, it's not the standard 54-bit driver kit, but uhm, there is a, there's like a wooden box version of this too. Yeaah. Yeaah. That one looks really nice, they didn't send me one, NCIX has one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I was kinda like, maybe I should just buy one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, if I do, I'll be using offer code WANSHOW to save $10 on a purchase of $50 or more. Oh, I like these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the little, uh, the little guitar picks. Alright, so uhm, I don't know, I guess, what the heck else is there? I guess, not a whole lot?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure. Let's call that the show. Thank you guys for tuning in to the WAN Show. We will see you again next week, same bat time, same bat channel. Sorry, there's no after party today. I just thought I'd- I'm gonna do the stream. Are you? I'm stealing the- Are you streaming from- Yea, I know what you're doing. I said, what are you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know what? People always- people lose my bits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People, I want one that's in pristine condition and as long as I'm the only one who ever uses it, it will stay that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, that's why I took it home. Also, I don't have an iFixit kit at home. I have just been keeping one in my bag. And now that we have so many, so many kits, I want to just keep one at home. Because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I especially super don't like other people using my tools. Other than me. No, I don't like you use. Well, that tool's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I know it's been a while since we've said this, because quite frankly, most of the time, lately, there just really hasn't been any excuse for our lateness. I think it's these lights. That's why we're pale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, not what I was talking about, at all, but, I, you know, I like your effort, that's why you're still here. It drives me a little hard, folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Real hard. Brandon, get other lights that don't make me look so dead. A plus for effort. Uhm, so, I know I haven't said this in a while, but really, today, we were like, this close. Not to being on time, but to being like, pretty close to on time. We were like, five minutes off or something. Yeah, seven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were about seven minutes late and basically I was dropping these sponsor spots into place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is really weird, like this is kinda cool because I got a first hand look into the inner workings of the mind of Windows 10. Uhm, where Xsplit, like the program window,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was here, here, you know what, I'll just, uh, oh, I don't think I have a scene where I can screeeen share with you guys. I will create one very quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's right. 4770- Wow, we put a 4770k in this? And that was all on Paul and Kyle's behalf, if I recall correctly. Cause we- we were- we were cra- the stream was dropping frames because we had two guests or something along those lines, I think. Anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the point is, I could see my XSplit window. It was kinda here. I'm reenacting this for you guys. And I could see us moving around and things moving in the frame. And I could actually right click on the desktop. But, and like a number lock was working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was the most bizarre thing, because I couldn't click anything, start menu wasn't coming up, and even pressing the front button was not resetting the computer, but number lock was working, I was like, this computer's responding. So, I was like, okay, well, hard shut down, boom, gonna bork my windows again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When just boot it up, and the motherboard's all like, oh, your, uh, CSM boot settings, it's stable, you need to change the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go into the secure boot settings, I'm like, oh, not this again. So I go and I go, I set it to a bunch of things, and then I set it to full auto, and I reboot it again, and I kinda go, Now just hold on a minute here. My voice isn't quite back yet, folks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it takes me like 12 minutes or whatever to diagnose this, so uhm, I go, I go down, I look at the computer, it's plugged in, so I kinda go, well that's what happened! My SSD DIED!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't even go into sleep! It- it shuts down!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's just not, not whatever Linus did. Big ol', big ol', eff you Linus because I hate you and you know what? I hate you too, computer. Anyway, new SATA cable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Boots up, we're ready to go, but we're late. And, on top of that, I just wasted another five minutes explaining why we're late. We haven't even intro'd topics yet. Making us even later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what I do know is that Pornhub released some stats from their site showing that their traffic compared to typical averages lowered immediately after the Fallout 4 launch, telling us something that I'm pretty sure we all know. Uh, Tim Cook declares the end of the PC, afters in the age of the iPad Pro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is so funny, people are like, 15% of the traffic was Luke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, I gotta do something about that voice. Okay, see, this is the trick, this is the trick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I make it blank now, then it'll work next time. I just always forget.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what we should have is we should have, like, a checklist for the end of the show, because I swear, it has been a month since I've remembered to pull down the, hey, we're live, tweet and Facebook post, and then, inevitably, inevitably, people are like, hey, how come you took down the archive? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For one, the video is called We're Live. It is not called The WAN Show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, The WAN Show has been running for like, two years. The WAN Show has never been called, We're Live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not once. And number two, I understand your confusion, and it's completely my bad. This is my way of apologizing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. It's, that way works best for everyone. So let's get into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'm at that stage where I'm like, feeling pretty much better, but there's like a gigantic loogie somewhere between like my nose and my throat, like kinda in here somewhere, and like, like you can't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably, actually, actually, oh probably. I'm probably just missing the right keyword.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Screen, screen share for you guys. So Pornhub's traffic dipped significantly the day that Fallout 4 came out, confirming once and for all that gamers, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who are on the internet, sometimes on their computers, might occasionally partake in the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the, uh, Hub of Porn website. I think that's what it's called, right? Hub of Porn. I wouldn't know much about it myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the actual dip is probably less significant because PornHub has actually used Google data in order to, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Segment their, their overall traffic into just the traffic that's also interested in gaming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so, so anyway, so in, so the traffic change after the Fallout 4 release, you can see it was down as much as 10%, however,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After, looks like, I don't know what, 15 or so hours of continuous gaming, it was time for Pornhub and then time to go to bed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, that's 4am then 4pm. So that's a 24 hour period you're looking at. No, no, it's a little more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so this is probably going to be the worst straw poll we've ever done. That's saying a lot. Uhm. So, does...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not going to do that. That's just... No. Does a hot new game release affect your... schedule?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're gonna go with, uh, yes, no,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And really those are the only options because there's, there's not, there's not really a whole lot to it beyond that. So I'm gonna go ahead and drop that in the Twitch chat. Love to hear from you guys about this one. I'm gonna go ahead and vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are, wow, this is, people are, the two, the two, wow, everything, everything is jockeying for position. This is, this is the tightest poll that we have ever run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we've got the majority of you, it looks like it's settling in a little bit. We've got the majority of you saying no. A hot new game release is not enough to get you off of your schedule. With a third of you saying yes indeed it would. And 28% of you voting for turnip the way you know you should. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, let's go ahead and move on to our next topic here. I can't believe anyone even sponsors this show. It's, uh, sorta horrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean it's great, but in just sort of a horrible way, or it's horrible in a great way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I love this show. Alright, so posted by Zmule on the forum. The original article here is from The Telegraph. You're posting links today, right? Awesome. Okay, we got this. Tim Cluck!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Declares the end of the PC, and hints at new medical product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so uh, I don't know. Wow, that's great. This article on Telegraph has 1,600 comments. It's amazing how cyclical this whole argument is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ends up being. Uhm, so anyway, I'll give you guys some context for this. So, here's the quote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're looking at a PC, this is uh, Tim Cook, why would you buy a PC anymore? No, really, why would you buy one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, right, we make phones. Other than their phones. I added that, that bit about, oh, we make phones. I guess we need to sell those too. Uhm, the really weird thing here is, Apple also makes PCs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty decent ones, last time I checked, and also last time I checked, their PC market share was rising. Not lowering. Uhm, or falling, rising, falling, not lowering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're looking at a PC, why would you buy a PC anymore? No, really, why would you buy one? One answer, one answer at a time, one answer at a time. Am I first? Yeah, you're first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think there's a lot that are too easy actually, so go ahead. Okay, gaming. Okay, gaming. You can game on an iPad Pro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's the, it's the job. Okay, okay, okay. No, no, no. I am going to, we have to take turns. I wanna play games that can't be played on an iPad Pro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well then you should probably lobby that developer to develop for the iPad Pro. The iPad Pro is extremely powerful. It's not powerful enough though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not powerful enough. Okay, alright, so you want a machine that can game and is powerful. Alright, I got argument number two. Maybe, just maybe, I want a peripheral that is not bluetooth. Well you should probably learn-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My modern peripherals are just fine, sir. That is a stupid argument, and mine is a good one. You're next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's just peripherals. I could be a printer. I could- it could be a printer. Okay. Printer's a peripheral.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically it's a big iPad. And it's faster. What could you need to do with a PC that you can't do with an iPad?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well fine, I'll come up with other things. How about an external display? Okay, what if I want to actually multitask?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have changed nothing! It doesn't even have force touch!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In fact, the cloud is the answer to your gaming too. Cloud gaming, cloud storage, done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think we've made our point. I-I mean, to-to try-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think honestly, that's a more interesting discussion at this point. Not what you can't do on an iPad, because that's kind of an endless topic, but what can you do on an iPad? I don't use them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can shop on Amazon, you can check your email, it's all the usual things. I mean, the main difference here, okay, and we can use this, we can use this to springboard into, you know, what the iPad Pro


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, as much as anything else, because in our, our, my favorite iPad Pro review so far, uh, is this one over on, over on Ars Technica, where I think the, the headline pretty much says it. Mac likes speed with all the virtues and restrictions of iOS, because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does bring some interesting new peripherals to the table. There is finally an Apple-sanctioned official keyboard cover and the similarity to something like a Surface Pro type cover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is definitely a thing. Uhm, and they have the pencil, which is a stylus. But it is a device.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so it's one of those things where, uh, and we'll talk more about Steam OS later, but it's one of those things where I don't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially with the way that it's priced, which is kind of beating down the door of devices like a Surface Pro 4 and even Apple's own MacBook lineup. Uhm, at the kind of price that it's at, I just don't really understand why I'm taking


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A half-assed keyboard, and no trackpad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does have the pencil, so it does have a stylus, but it lacks any mouse, any mouse or trackpad input. Uhm, I don't understand why I'm giving that up for the sake of... I can attach the keyboard, I guess? And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Uhm. Well, the screen's pretty small. And that's like it. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, to me, this is not so much a problem with what Tim Cook is, I think, trying to say. And that's that the iPad Pro is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything that like, uh, where's that, where's that other, where's that other, uh, shoot?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, so, so, it's a, blah, blah. It's not like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, everything he said is just kind of wrong. Okay, yes, the iPad Pro is a replacement for a notebook or a desktop for many, many people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I think to say that for many, many people, an


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Functionally, you can kinda use them for the same stuff, but, I, and this, I've said this before,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in my MacBook 2015 Retina review.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got stuff to do. I need a mouse. Because it's faster. And actually, objectively, better. If you'd like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got stuff to do. If I'm just hanging around watching YouTube videos on my computer, I don't need a mouse, because I'm not in a hurry. I've got all the time in the world. And I think that's kind of what's being said here. Yes, the iPad Pro is a replacement for a notebook or desktop for many, many people. If those people don't really have anything to do, or they're like, they need something to sketch on,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I, I, like I don't, ugh, I don't understand why they're using this instead of like a Windows-based Wacom tablet, which has already existed for a couple of years for people who legitimately want to use


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they're not out there in the wilderness, and this is really crazy. The iPad Pro is out, but the stylus is delayed again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you actually would just be buying a big iPad with a keyboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, I mean, this is, this is another thing, going back to the keyboard, like, I don't really personally think that an extra couple inches on the screen, no, dramatically changes the iOS experience enough


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I personally went through the experience of back in the iPad 2 days, uh, Logitech, and they actually have a new peripheral for the iPad Pro, but Logitech had a Bluetooth keyboard slash hard aluminum cover, really nice accessory for the iPad 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I personally bought hundreds of them when I worked at NCIX. I like, busted my butt. I was like, this thing is gonna be a hot mover. It takes everything that's great about the iPad and makes it so you can actually type on the damn thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That thing was a disaster. It was so hard for me to get rid of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so what? People have changed their minds that much already? I don't think so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, oh, are we done with the iPad thing? Are we completely changing? Okay, sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay, so yeah, yeah, we're done, so basically in short, uh, don't expect an iPad Pro review from me because I don't really care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is not a PC, it does not replace a PC, it's a big iPad. And that'll be good for some things, like in a classroom where a bigger thing to read a storybook to the kids on the iPad might be nice. That's what I think it's for. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in short, there are attacks and Paris has closed their borders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and yeaah, that's very much a developing, developing thing right now. So I think it's safe for us to say, you know, our hearts go out to the people of Paris. I love Paris. That's actually the, the city that I chose. That was my grad present is I could go anywhere in the world for, I think it was like 10 days or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also I had to take my mother. Uhm, and I went to Paris and it was freaking awesome and people should not attack Paris. I think we can all agree on that. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so moving back to tech news, uh, Intel's Skylake Speed Shift technology has been...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Deployed. Now, this is stuff that was built into the CPU back when it was released. This was posted on the forum by NumLock21. Uh, the article here is from AnonTech. But basically, what this amounts to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is a more advanced, kind of, uh, more granular version of the, of the speedstep technology that already existed, that allows the CPU to dynamically adjust its power and speed settings as it's being used. So, uh, so this is cool. So in the past,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The operating system was fully in control of this process, and the CPU itself was just capable of all these different power states. Now, with operating system support, and this has been added to Windows 10, the OS can actually hand control of the frequency and voltage back to the processor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, in short, there's, uh, there's an intel-provided graft here, that- graft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Excuse me, graph here that shows with speed shift enabled how quickly it can cycle


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can see the, uh, I believe this is frequency, yep. So this is frequency versus time in milliseconds. We are talking getting from, uh, a low, lower power state to the highest one in a matter of, what is this, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dun dun dun dun dun, 15 milliseconds or something along those lines. Versus about 120 milliseconds without speed shift.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this is going to be particularly important for things like mobile processors, where the difference between your base clock


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're very low power steps when you've got speedstep at its very, very lowest states to save battery. So this is gonna make a big difference to the responsiveness of tasks when that mobile processor that has a huge disparity between its base and its boost clock is able to quickly go, okay, you're doing something, boom, I'm done, and oh, now I'm way back down. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, say for example when you're navigating to a webpage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, responsiveness is more important than, you know, how quickly can you render out, you know, a video that is gonna take either half an hour or 35 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is cool, this tells us a little bit about it. So AnonTech ran PCMark 8 because somehow they managed to get that bloody program to run, I swear. Like, and you know what, we must just be snake-bitten, because I love FutureMark, those guys are nice, and I love most of the software that they make.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] PCMark man, every single time. People often ask me, why don't you run PCMark on like your laptop reviews and stuff. Maybe...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 10 to 20%, maybe 30% of the time that I've just sat down and gone, okay, I'm gonna run PCMark. It has worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a while I was actually using the battery life test in my notebook videos, so I used it in I think two, and then I went to use it for the, uh, the Dell rugged, uh, laptop. And it just, three times just, it failed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like, would stop working, it would just, the computer would go to sleep when the device still had 40% battery, and I'm just like, this is just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we went through, what, three different versions of PCMark. To find one that would work for us. To find one that we managed to run. And even then, I think we- oh. I'm- this is spoilers. Okay, stay tuned for more Scrapyard Wars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was good enough to make it into this version. Ended up on the cutting room floor because of just time constraints last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we'll reevaluate and we'll take another crack at it and that's pretty much all there is to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so anyway, there's some more benchmarks for speed shift that show that in some cases it does make a very significant difference. Uh, in other cases it's much smaller. Uhm, but yeaah. There you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Battery efficiency, ever so slightly improved. I love those in OnTech guys, they do such a good job. This is all good stuff. Yep, all good stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's interesting is that the OS can relinquish not necessarily all, but just some of the power state, uhm, uh, some of the power state, so it could control it within this range, or that range, or the whole thing. That's cool. Very cool stuff, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I suspect it works on its own, I cannot tell you. The only thing that made me think of that is because you said it can do this or that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this is interesting. I mean this is something where it doesn't look like anyone can get any comment from, uhm, here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I think it's unlikely that they could have got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no we didn't. So basically, word on the street is that the FBI paid Carnegie Mellon one million dollars


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least, this is all very, he said, she said, to break Tor. So the original article that we have here, this is supposed to buy DatSpeed on the forum. The original article, oh, and uh, there's the full speed, uh, full size ad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is from Forbes here, and so the Tor project is the one claiming this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and the, the objective, they are saying, was that, was for the FBI to un-cloak particular users and find their true IPs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, this is the team responsible for maintaining the Tor anonymizing network, and they're claiming that they paid one million to disclose techniques that they discovered that could help uncover the identities of users. Neither the FBI nor Carnegie Mellon have directly confirmed nor denied anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yup, uhm, so I guess that's pretty much all there is to really, yeaah, to really say about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spokesman for Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute did not deny the accusations directly, but told Wired, I would like to see the substantiation for their claim, adding, I am not aware of any payment. Which is like... Basically like saying, I can't say anything. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the site motherboard reviewed the court filings, reviewed court filings that proved the FBI recruited a research institute that was running systems on Tor networks to uncover the identity of a user of Silk Road 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so that's the drug marketplace that replaced the first version of the Silk Road. And uhm, yeaah, I guess that's pretty much all there is to say about that, so... Nowhere is safe!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I guess I, I kinda, we actually had a separate, you know what, it's probably worth going through. We had a separate topic for the iPad Pro. I did cover a lot of this though when I was kinda ranting about it before, but there are some good things about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so this was supposed to buy DatSpeed. Well, it's kind of a big deal because it replaces desktops and laptops. Shit, that means like our jobs. Yeah, I know, right? We'll just have to make videos about the iPad Pro all day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. That will make more sense if you've watched his Fallout 4 Build Block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Uhm, anyway, so there is some cool stuff. So the A9X processor, uh, the same one that was found in the iPhone 6S, has now been overclocked. Just another way of saying the clock speed has been increased. So it's now even faster and actually quite competitive with, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intel's real processors, like we're not talking CoreM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's legitimately looking pretty competitive with, you know, a low end core i3 core i5 dual core.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty darn interesting stuff and this is based on some browser-based benchmarks as well as Geekbench. It also shows little sign of throttling in the Geekbench thermal test.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty darn impressive, and with the larger battery, thanks to the larger housing, it's able to achieve pretty darn similar battery life to previous iPads. Again, a very good result. The onboard graphics are looking very, very favorable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Apple's done a pretty good job in the past of, of, of maintaining their new features, sort of across the product line as they refresh them. Uhm, and I would have really expected that, and this is especially disappointing given that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a device that, it's so funny, cause Apple is always running around saying, well, ha, no touch screens for our MacBooks because that's awkward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're expected to type and touch it. And they're actually taking away input options from the touch input. Multitasking is still quite limited because it's running iOS. It takes around four and a half hours to completely recharge with the included chargeware if not in use.
