[Assistant] Or newer machines that are running in Windows XP just for the lulls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the upgrade will include Windows Hello, which is their biometric security system that's embedded into the OS that allows you to use fingerprint scanners or even retinal scanners to sign into Windows. Or yes, it actually allows you to use a variety of different authentication methods.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I kind of feel like Windows Hello hasn't been vetted to the point where I would want it deployed in a military application, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, sorry. Usually I can like, I can contain yawns for the sake of having something resembling a modicum of professionalism throughout this show, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am just bushwhacked, like my whole family got sick this week between- Did you get it? My- no. I was gonna ask you earlier today if you got it. So between my son and daughter and wife, uhm, there were probably somewhere between 15 and 20 upchucks in the last three days. Wow. Like everyone was sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My aunt got sick, uhm, our babysitter got sick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am still not sick, but uhm, my aunt was saying apparently this bugs, you can stay contagious seven days after you stop showing symptoms. So there is still plenty of time for me to get hit by it, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go ahead and talk about, talk about this. It's kind of a, this is kind of a big deal. The HP Elite X3 leaked before Mobile World Congress. This is posted by Casual Gamer on the forum. Let's go ahead and, uh, pull up the wmpoweruser.com, windowsmobilepoweruser.com. That's the kind of site that you start thinking like, someday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Microsoft will get their crap together, and there will be someone who wants to visit this site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, anyway, this does look like a pretty darn cool little device. It features a Snapdragon 820 processor, 4 gigs of RAM, 32 gigs of storage, up to 200 gigs of expandable micro SD storage, IP67 water and dust resistance,


[User] Please transcribe this text


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you don't remember what Continuum is because Microsoft talked about it and then promptly there was nothing that used it so we all forgot about it. Continuum allows you to have the desktop-ish


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Experience with your mobile device by using a USB Type-C adapter to go out to HDMI or some kind of a display output to a full-size monitor and even break out to USB input devices like a keyboard and mouse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty freaking sick. So because there is an arm compatible version of Office, what you could do


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you could actually work on like, office documents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On your keyboard and mouse, save all your work to your phone, unplug, bippity bop, off you go, and you can use it as a phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Continuum also allows you, I mean this is all in theory, I've never personally used it, also allows you to use your phone as a touchpad if for whatever reason you are one of the bizarre human beings who uses a touchpad when they're at their desktop as they're like, for some reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is called the right finger down gesture. Brings up the contextual menu a lot faster than, you know, touch and hold. And people are like, oh, but like, gestures. And I'm like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's a gesture, it's called shortcut keys on your keyboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm. Keyboard shortcuts? Thank you. Keyboard shortcuts? Uhm. Some people will get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, right, oh, yeah, people are upset we're not posting the links in chat. I forgot, and apparently you forgot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's okay, I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. Oh, that's worse! No!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, this is a cool topic. So this was posted by Kamishss on the forum and it is the Ringing Bells Freedom 251 Smartphone. I'm gonna pull up the gadgets.ndtv.com article here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, can, can we not? Wow! Wow! I have never seen a pop-up like this. Sight will open in five seconds. If you do not click it away, it clicks on the pop-up for you. That is awesome!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are a terrible terrible site gadget 360. Look at the ads. Oh man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, 10 Canadian dating sites that really work. I wanna know what those Canadian dating sites are. I've never even heard of this. That's top 7. Top 7? We couldn't even get that right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even the website's called Top 10. I'm just disappointed Ashley Madison isn't on here, so yeah, I'm pretty much done with that now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, alright, so here we go. Ringing Bells is set to officially unveil the Freedom 251 smartphone. So the price is because it costs 251, I believe RS is rupees,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because this is in India. I'm fairly sure that they also have the rupee in India. We also have the rupee in Canada now. Uhm, ever since the dollar slid with the price of oil anyway. I digress. So, what that's equivalent to is approximately four dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four dollars. I mean, real dollars, not Canadian dollars. Four dollars. Making it the cheapest smartphone in the world. And it goes on sale, I believe, uh, dip-dip-dip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yesterday, looks like it was yesterday at 6am. Now there are some issues with the way they're bringing it to market. You have to reserve it online, which if you're gonna kinda go, okay, this is the device that's gonna like, connect the Indian people who have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No devices and no connectivity, then they may not have an internet connection or a device to do that. But maybe they have a buddy or a library or whatever else, you know, hopefully they can get that figured out. And uhm, the other issue with this launch is that it is unclear at this time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether this is an ongoing price or whether this is, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, whether it's just a promotional starting price. If it is an ongoing price, obviously it's heavily subsidized. In fact, uhm, let me just pull up. I think it was at indianexpress.com had a really good article about it as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, here, let me just, let me just pull this up. This site is significantly less obnoxious, but uh, let's see if they have any dating advice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, however, this is what's weird, because, uh, there's actually a sticker that is covering up that it is actually an AdCom Icon 4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, let's talk, let's talk specs. Uhm, so to be clear, that other device I think costs about the equivalent of, uh, something like 40 or, or 50 dollars. Uhm, so that's closer to what it actually costs to make a device like this. I saw an estimate that it costs about 40 dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the issue, if this is just an introductory price, is it sets a really unrealistic expectation


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, for smartphone pricing because we are, we are so far away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a little bit worried about whether that QHD IPS display spec is right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might be HD. It's gotta be, it's gotta be HD, and I, I would be surprised if it's actually IPS. Do you wanna investigate that? Yeah, I'm already looking. Okay. Anyway, it's got a 1.3GHz quad-core, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, expandable storage by up to 32GB, and a 3.2MP rear camera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1450 mAh battery, 3G support, dual SIM support and a one-year warranty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, but they, I mean, you never know. They may have actually made some changes, like it's possible that they reused tooling, but then- Ohhhhh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I- remember, this is- there's a lot of corners you have to cut to sell a smartphone for $4, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think that's entirely impossible. So the other sort of negative takeaway, if this is not ongoing pricing, is that it actually does nothing to revolutionize the connectivity of India and the Indian people as a country and as the people in that country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. And then you end up with it costing, and that's one of those things that frustrates me. Is like, I don't mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have a good product that is worth X amount, I would like to- I would rather see the manufacturer take that margin that they earned by designing and bringing this good product to market. I'd rather the manufacturer take it than some jerk on eBay. Yo yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, or uh, brand new game consoles. Like PlayStation 4's and to a lesser degree Xbox One's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, and we're just, we're lining the pockets of jerks on eBay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who else? I mean, there's, uh, depending on where you buy from and who you sell to, there's potential double taxation involved in something like this, uh, because, you know, these people aren't set up as, like, resellers. They're not gonna write off that PlayStation that they bought at Best Buy as a, you know, taxable...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, business expense and then, like, collect tax from the buyer and submit all that. No, no one's gonna do that. So, they're just kinda, kinda go, okay, yea, I had to pay 10% tax on it, so now it's 440 plus whatever markup I want. Like, we're just, we're just giving it away. So tell me something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you be okay with surge pricing at launch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you rather to, would you rather the manufacturer have it to that degree?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so hold on a second then. I mean, is there a difference between surge pricing and just the early adopter tax?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes? Like, what if the, what if the surge pricing that I'm talking about was not necessarily like, oh, you know, the factory's a little behind, let's, let's, uh, hike up the price. What if it was only at the beginning? What if they were like, okay, for the first 10 days, the Xbox 2


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever they call whatever the next one's gonna be. The Xbox 2!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you- knowing full well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you can buy one for $200 less in like, let's say, some finite and reasonable amount of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you be okay with them just, just bending over the people who must have it on launch day?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But are you okay with the concept? I think it's dirty, Mark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Solve the problem, that literally makes it worse. No, no, no, it solves the problem for them, not for anyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so you think, oh, hold on, hold on, okay, so let me, let me recap this, cause I think, I think I jumped, I think I lost your train of thought here, I think I'm back on it. So what you're saying is if normally a console is $400 at launch,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we go, okay, there's a two week event where it's $600. You think instead of them eBaying for $800, they're gonna eBay for $1200?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's okay, that's okay. I don't think anyone from Microsoft's Xbox division or, uh, did, did PlayStation break off from Sony now? Do I have to call it PlayStation? Is that official? I don't know. Uh, I'll just say Xbox and PlayStation. I don't think anyone is actually watching this, but like, what if, oh man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, how do- okay, so how do we- how do we make it more expensive without making it enticing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or it could be all only early access games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they don't call it the launch. They call it early access. So you actually pay more to get an early access console. That is literally like, they could even call it like, like, like, like, like Xbox, like 1.9.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but then you know those will be worth more. That's like having a coin that's got a head on both sides, like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone's gonna want the flawed one. Even like a dead flawed one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yousquarespace.com, they've got all kinds of great templates, all you gotta do is pick out the one that is the best for your beautiful website. If you wanted to go ahead and have like an e-commerce module integrated in your site, all of them include that, and uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're setting it up, you should make sure that you get all of your, you know, photos and pricing done correctly and, uh, they've got a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've got a free trial that lasts for two weeks with no credit card required, so you should definitely sign up for that now. And if you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, Squarespace is right for me, then, you should use offer code Linus to save 10% on your Squarespace subscription for whether it's just a short period of time or a year, which by the way, you should- oh crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was doing so well! Sign up for a year because they'll throw in a domain for you for nothing. So, uh, Squarespace. You should. Build it beautiful. That was pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, next up we've got lynda.com, which I actually, uh, finally started, like actually not just like playing around with it to validate, okay, these guys are like real and they're not just a total scam or anything. Uhm, I am starting on some networking stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I am a networking noob and JohnnyTheNetworkGuy let me down pretty hardcore this week. Uhm, released it, cause I specifically asked him this. I was like, okay, I'm doing a point to point guide so you can have 10 gigabit NICs linked directly between the computers and they both have WAN connections with a separate NIC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell me the guidelines. Cause I knew, I knew there were guidelines. I was like, tell me the guidelines for what IP addresses I can use. And use public ones. And he used public ones. He was like, yea it's fine. And you know what? Realistically, it's probably fine. Unless I happen to want to access that particular...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] HP, it turns out it was HP Reserved Public IPs. Unless I wanted to access that particular HP site. It wasn't like helipackard.com, it was like, who knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would have been fine. I would have literally never run into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I believe in following best practices, and I asked him not once, but three times. Are you sure?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like, yeah, it's fine. I'm like, are you sure? He's like, yeah, it's fine. So half the comments on that video are, Linus, you need to get a new network guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's okay. Johnny's, Johnny's mostly pretty good. Anyway, the point is, I started on the basics, I have to say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, it was a little frustrating how basic the, like, the very basic, like, beginner course was, but I was like, okay, no, I'm gonna, I'm gonna power through this because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yup, yup, there, there were, I have, I have a better understanding of a ring topology network than I did before, uhm, as irrelevant as that is in the modern age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, anyway, so lynda.com is used by millions of people around the world. They have more than 3,000 courses available taught by industry experts. They have topics like networking, web development, photography, visual design, business, and also software like Excel, WordPress, and Photoshop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can get a 10 day free trial, which gives you all you can eat access.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, see, yep, so dollarshaveclub.com slash Linus is the place to go to join


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's why I- so that's why I need to shave every day. So if you also need to shave every day,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't go to the store and pay way too much for your replacement cartridges. Use Dollar Shave Club, they will ship you fresh razors once a month for just a few bucks a month. And they've got other great bathroom supplies as well, including their Dr. Carver Shave Butter, their One Wipe Charlie's Peppermint Scented Butt Wipes for Men, which come in convenient travel packets, as well as their After Shave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's available in the US, Canada, and Australia, and all you gotta do is head over to dollarshaveclub.com slash Linus to give them a try. They've got everything from a very basic package all the way up to the six-bladed executive, so I'm sure that you will enjoy the shave you get from dollarshaveclub.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's move into our next topic here. This was posted by GivingTNT on the forum. This is the Reflex, the revolutionary full-color high-definition bendable smartphone that you won't have your hands on any time in the next five years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what the example they're showing right there is bending the display to flip the page in some kind of a graphic novel or comic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, it actually gives you haptic feedback that's like, flip, flip, you're flipping the page, isn't that cool? Uhm, when you're playing Angry Birds, for example, what it can do is it can have like a very tactile sort of experience with the stretching back of the rubber band and then the releasing of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've actually got an Angry Birds, uhm, arcade game at the, uh, at Castle Fun Park out in Abbotsford now. It was new the last time I went there, so I think it's, I think it's pretty new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's actually pretty clever, so it's just Angry Birds, uhm, on a giant touchscreen display.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of like a long tube, it's probably about the size of like the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it knows where it hits and then it detects the hit and it knocks down the crab. That's cool. And I was like, yeah, yeah, okay, I guess that's worth a dollar twenty a play, are you for real? Castle Fun Park. Yeah. The good news is that my kids are young, so they don't actually realize half the time that the game's not on. So like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We go there with four people, we kill like an hour and a half, two hours, we spend like twenty bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I finally got my son to go in the- when's the last time you went there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so did you see that like, uh, break the lasers or dodge the lasers room? So every time we've gone there, which is like three or four times now, I've been like, do you want to go in there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's kind of, he's kind of a shy kid. Anyway, he's like, so the last time I was like, I was just like, cause I, I thought he would like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so anyway, I asked him if he wanted to do that one, cause I figured for a three-year-old, the just break all the lasers is probably gonna be the easiest thing, and he goes, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I wanna do the other one. I go, oh, okay. So what I didn't realize is that A, two-player mode costs exactly twice as much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And B, once we went inside, if you play two-player mode, dodging around the lasers and holding your hands on the like, they look like hand print scanner things, like it's kind of, you know, ooh, stuffy. Uhm, you have to split up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're in this dark room that he never really wanted to go into in the first place, finally gave into me about, and I'm like, go over there, don't touch the beams, okay, hold your hands on there, and he's just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the game, it only lasts like a minute. The game turns off, he's like, Dad, I wanna go outside now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, yep, we're never going in here again. This is his Space Mountain. My dad took me on Space Mountain when I was like six. Never forgave him. Still remember to this day. I didn't ride a roller coaster for a decade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like, that was, that was one of my scarred for life experiences as a kid, was riding Space Mountain when I was a really little kid. So, uh, if you guys are thinking, you know, you wanna, you wanna pull one over on your kids and, uh, and give them an experience to remember when they're really young, then Space Mountain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uh, this was posted by ThePointBlank on the forum. Original article here is from Android Police.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cat S60 is the first phone with an FLIR thermal camera built in. Now this isn't the first Cat phone, although the first one I kinda looked and went, okay, so it's a ruggedized phone with very middling specs, it's very expensive, I'm not that interested in this, moving on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one has got my attention. This is very cool. Same thing, somewhat middling specs, I think they quote Octocore Snapdragon, which, uh, oh no, no, actually they say it's a, it is a Snapdragon 617.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, so that's only 720p, but it does have auto wet finger and glove support. It is drop proof to 1.8 meters, which is pretty darn impressive. So that's about 5 feet, uh, for the Yanks out there. Um, has a strengthened die cast frame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, optimized battery performance, so 3800 mAh battery. Combine that with the 720p screen and the Snapdragon 617. That thing is going to haul when it comes to battery life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's got 32 gigs of, uh, store, uh, 32 gigs of storage, 3 gigs of RAM, runs Android Marshmallow, coming later on, super bright display, typical 540 nits, not too shabby, Gorilla Glass 4. But it is all about that thermal camera, so check out this picture, this is back on Android Police here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the first dual camera implementation that I've seen that makes any sense. The 1M8 was just stupid. Like, oh, we have a depth camera so that you can do this stupid gimmick that looks terrible and is bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is cool. So it combines the thermal camera with the regular camera to give you real image clarity with the thermal information overlaid. How freaking handy would that be for a contractor? You want to know which pipes got the hot water in it? Ba-pow!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very, very cool. And I can see this being useful for all kinds of stuff. Like, even for me, like, is something in that system overheating? BWAH-BWAH!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna get tired of that bobao thing eventually. You should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. It's like heaven forbid they came up with something with like swear words in it. Like Squarespace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes and no. It seems like people get over it like, uh, shit audio. Like no one really, no one really flinches anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like F-C-U-K, that's not edgy anymore. Yeah, that's true. Clothing brand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the word I was looking for, numb. Uh, this was posted by Yummy Chicken Blue on the forum. The original article here is from Forbes. Apple FINALLY addresses


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The error 53 issue that causes people who replace their home button and then upgrade their OS to not be able to use their phone. It just would brick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Apple's former stance on this was, well, you had your handset repaired by a non-authorized technician, so I guess we'll just break your phone because you're a jerk and we hate you. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so apparently error 53 was supposed to be a factory test that was not intended to affect customers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and all it would just say was the iPhone could not be updated and unknown error occurred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unfortunately, they finally issued a patch, so it's build number 13D20 in the most current mobile operating system, iOS 9.2.1, that will allow people dealing with the error 53 issue to plug into iTunes and update. So, yay, so it'll restore bricked iPhones, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, uhm, the patched version of 9.2.1 will not permit Touch ID to start working again unless it has been verified by an official Apple technician.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you'll have to take it to an Apple repair center to verify that it is properly secured.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the official stance here is that there are shady technicians out there that could allow malicious access to your data otherwise. I mean, that is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe not a bad point, there are some pretty skilled folks out there who could solder some pretty cool grabbing things while they're in flight stuff and put that into a phone, I suppose. So as long as they are willing to allow me to repair it myself and at least just like give it the ol'


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, uh, you did it okay. Then I'm alright with that. It is unclear how much Apple is going to be charging, however, for this verification. I don't know. That doesn't mean no one knows, but I certainly don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of things that I don't know, I don't know how the crap this works. Aloe Fox posted this on the forum. Original article here is from The Verge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we have officially preserved the King James Version of the Holy Bible for people 13.8 billion years from now, and that is, it will work apparently even up to nearly 200 degrees Celsius.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So to put this in the appropriate context, a standard sized disk, so that same blu-ray that is now capable of holding 128 gigs of data, would be able to hold 360 terabytes of data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Safely, within glass. It's using, and I am not a physicist here, but it's using something to do with, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, nano-gradings that change how light is reflected and encodes the data in five dimensions. And that's why they can store data so densely compared to traditional optical disks. Uh, scientists believe this could be commercialized in the not-too-distant future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another big deal this week, this was posted by Spaghetti Carbonara on the forum, is that Twitter shadowbanning is apparently real and happening every day, says an inside source.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I don't know how much of this is tinfoil hat wearing. I didn't have time to look into this report myself, so we just have to trust Colton to have done it correctly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless it's like a location and a trajectory and something else. But it's not moving, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, so there were rumors that Twitter had begun shadow banning politically inconvenient users that has been confirmed, allegedly, by a source inside the company. According to the source, which I don't know if we can believe because whenever it's source, we're calling this rumor.

[Assistant] Uhm, Twitter maintains a whitelist and a blacklist. The whitelist is people who are of Caucasian descent and the blacklist- no, I'm just kidding. It's the- the more- the more- you didn't even catch that, did you? No. I said the whitelist was Caucasians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just a joke. Uh, the white list is apparently users who are okay to broadcast their tweets all over the place, and the black list is apparently users that are being somewhat or fully shadowbanned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So instead of just banning the user directly, their content is hidden from the public view. So this is a pretty common practice on things like online communities. In fact, uh, we're gonna be working on a shadow banning feature on the Linus Tech Tips forum. Uhm, the way that we're planning to use it is very, very different from this, however.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Twitter users have allegedly, this is a rumor, been reporting tweets from popular conservatives, members of alternative rights, cultural libertarians, and anti-PC dissidents that have been disappearing from their timelines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so, kind of a big deal. I mean, I saw someone's comment, uh, in the thread that was like, oh, whatever, no big deal, it's just Twitter. I mean, it's like this private company that can do whatever they want, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you're as big as Twitter, when you have as much influence on the world, and the way people perceive it, uhm, you have kind of a responsibility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back to how we plan to use shadow banning features, uh, the way that we had discussed it was giving people timeouts from each other. If there are users that cannot get along and are starting flame wars with each other all the time, uh, we might start implementing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, shadow bands between those users. So they just straight up can't talk to each other. And we would tell people that we're doing it. We're like, look, we're giving you a timeout. You're done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically, like, there are valid reasons if you have a platform that you have to moderate. Like, something that people don't necessarily realize is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Community sites are at least partially responsible for the content that's on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can't post Google ads on LinusTechTips.com anymore because of some questionable material that was posted by members. Bunch of people posted anime porn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you for that. Uhm, so ultimately, we have to moderate this site. And if we're having problems, then shadow banning can be a very effective way to get rid of it. But I think you have to maintain a certain level of transparency, and you have to maintain your integrity as well. You can't just start


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, shadow banning people you don't agree with. I mean, if that were the case, I actually posted this right in the thread, I was like, My response to you, misanthrope, is proof that we don't believe in censoring people that we regularly disagree with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I do believe that LinusTechTips.com, aside from, you know, being excellent to each other and abiding by the terms of service,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, our users and our moderators, because they are, they are volunteers, you guys, okay? They're nice people. Our users and our moderators are off-limits, but if there's something you don't like, you can let me or Luke have what for about it, if that's what, uh, explodes to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're wrong, and honestly, your punishment wasn't severe enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's pretty much it for the WAN Show today, thanks for watching, thanks to DeathGuy91 for the pizza today, and we will see you again next week, same bat time, same bat channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my goodness, the YouTube video announcing the stream never went up. I guess that means I don't have to pull it down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's roll the intro!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of in it's own little world right now. It'll happen, it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did it out of order, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, New Zealand, Halifax, which is in New Brunswick. No, it's in Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was looking at the wrong thing. I was like, there's no frames encoded yet. Oh. We couldn't be live yet. No, but there are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, no, no, I know that, I just mean, I was just, I was seeing that zero value, because usually there's that little delay before the frames start encoding, and I'm like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three hour? Two and a half. It's about two and a half hours. I have been overhauling the WAN show setup. I have reinstalled the audio compressor that we haven't used since...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Way a long time ago at the, wait, what? No, no, it's, it's not, it's not quite tweaked yet. Yeah, but it's a lot better. So I have reinstalled the audio compressor. I have switched to an XLR microphone. Uhm, we do not have a mount for this one yet, so I have installed this, this absolute, here, I'll give you guys a look at it. This absolutely gorgeous shock mount.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Piece of foam. Uhm, what else did I do? I'm sure I did other things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried some different capture cards, uhm, mostly I was playing around with audio, so, uh, there you go!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, like, the microphone's terrible. I know for a fact it isn't, and that's another thing I did today, is I actually listened to the stream and tested it. So screw you guys!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the rest of you are awesome, but it's just... Thanks for watching. It's the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so we've got a great show for you guys today. There is, it's official, a modular smartwatch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is usually what we do, okay. Okay, so I had a lot of people calling bullshit on this, uh, on this post that I made on Instagram, where I put a, uh, I put a GTX, there's a lot of people declaring this to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Video card X, Y, or Z, when actually almost no one got it right. It is a GTX 980, okay? So I put a GTX 980 on this setup, and I declared it to be a cheap 8-core gaming setup. So this video is actually coming out on, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no lies. There is no nonsense. I am not pulling your guys' legs. 8 Intel processing cores, 16 gigs of RAM, and a motherboard. We're talking under $150 US.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're talking with a GTX 980, and yes, I understand that a GTX 980 is expensive. It's not the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The point of putting the 980 in there was demonstrating that this gaming platform is not, uh, a substantial bottleneck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even for a high-end graphics card, okay? So we're talking, like, nigh- Oh, no, no, that was the comparison one. We're talking about 75 FPS in Battlefront, okay? Star Wars Battlefront, 75 FPS. What settings? Butter Smooth, Ultimate. BOOM!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or Ultra, or whatever they call it. Whatever the top one is. The highest tier preset, 1080p, 75 FPS. Yeaah. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So stay tuned for that, that's gonna be freaking awesome. Uhm, I'm just trying to think if there's any other internal, like, LMG stuff we've had going on this week. It's been kind of a crazy week, but I don't know why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prepping, yeaah, we prepared. This week we prepared. Actually, uhm, I've been getting a lot of help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, sort of. Uh, we actually added a new member.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yep, so we, we have like, uh, like a, a new sort of, sort of like maintenance, maintenance guy. Uhm, but I'm gonna wait till after his probation period in order to, you know, intro-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Standard operating procedure, introducing- Oh yeah! We added another new member! That happened this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's official, uhm, my wife will be joining us here at Linus Media Group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and you know, it's really funny. One of the things that she stressed out about was that the, okay, first, I mean, she's sometimes, emotions, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's nothing to do with intelligence. My wife is incredibly intelligent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she's very rational. But that doesn't mean that sometimes she doesn't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, okay, anyway. The point is, her first concern was that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LMG employees would feel like I was only hiring her because nepotism, and she's my wife. Okay? And I was like, my dear, I love you dearly, but that is the single most ridiculous thing you've ever said to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But anyway, so next, so the next thing was, everyone's like, Linus is so sexist, it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I'm not gonna get, I'm not gonna get too deep into this, because quite frankly, who could handle that? Well apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, anyway, I'm not gonna get too deep into this, but men and women are different. They're not the same, they're different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's okay. Alright, so anyway, the next thing she was worried about was that the viewers would think that the only reason she was involved was because she was like, the boss's wife. And I was like, no, I'm gonna clear that up, I'm gonna make sure they know, so I'm addressing it on WAN Show once and for all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yvonne has been an integral part of Linus Media Group since before its incorporation date. She helped me start the company from like day negative, you know, like 90 when I was working on this for like months before we actually kicked off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she has been deeply involved, not just in like, you know, creating people's paychecks and depositing things in the bank and all those things that she does to help everything run smoothly here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But she has also been deeply involved in many core decisions involving, uh, HR, involving our hiring, involving our, our, our, our content, involving our overall strategy, involving the way that we address things publicly like our PR. Uhm, so she's very much a part of what we do and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Well, I think I, I think I have, uh, that's great, Yvonne of the Yukon. Uh, she,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hate that reference. So what I would recommend is whenever she shows up in a channel super fun or whatever else because she thinks she's not gonna be in videos but I straight up told her that's not gonna happen. Or is gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever the part where she is going to be in videos is. That, that, that will happen. Uh, so make sure you leave some comments about Yvonne of the Yukon under the video. She'll love that. Well mostly I'll love teasing her about that. And then, you know, it'll be good. It'll be good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I've got people asking if she'll be hosting anything. No, I don't think so. I doubt that. Not really her shtick. I mean, she's- she's actually- I expect she-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I'd expect her to show up on Super Fun, like, like, we'll, we'll definitely pull some kind of, actually, we have to haze her when she first starts. Like, we have to pull some kind of, like, initiation prank on her. What? In, like, her first week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, we'll have to come up with something cool. Like, like there's the classics, there's like putting the noisemaker above the ceiling tile in the office or whatever, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I wanna come up, I wanna come up with something a little bit, a little bit better than that. I think, I think we can, I think we can do that. Alright, so uhm, I think that's pretty much it for like, the Linus Media Group, uh, catch up. So why don't we jump right into Nvidia unveiling their Pascal architecture, somewhat. So, kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, somewhat, somewhat sort of. So at the Japanese edition of NVIDIA GTC, the GPU technology conference, they've unveiled some details about their 2016 graphics architecture codename Pascal. Oh, the name of this term is the after party. I'm sorry? Oh, really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we go, alright, we fixed that. Okay, so basically there's, I mean, there's not a whole lot here that we didn't kind of see coming. Um, up to 16 gigabytes of HBM memory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so we're talking 1 terabyte per second in bandwidth, although, uh, and this will be HBM2, by the way, so Nvidia...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently just kinda went, yep, we're gonna sit out this first generation, we're gonna wait until there's a die shrink, and then we are going to pack as many more transistors as we can into our GPU, and we're gonna go HBM at the same time and deliver, hopefully, something really, really groundbreaking. Uhm, it'll be-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stuck at the same manufacturing process node for so long, ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been awful, like they have had to do so many crazy tricks. Both Nvidia and AMD have been like tricking all over the- or, okay that came across wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] NVLink is going to enable up to 80 gigabyte per second communication. Uhm, they're gonna, they're gonna have higher performance through the use of the, uh, oh man, why am I having trouble talking today? There's HBM2, which will help you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and we're expecting it sometime in the first half of 2016, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stay tuned, I wonder what they're gonna call the new Titan. Cause X and Z are the only really cool letters. Titan Y? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this is kind of cool, uh, original article here is from Ars Technica, uh, here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a few truly bad DMCA takedowns, YouTube is offering to cover legal costs to protect some video makers who lean on fair use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So one of the examples of, of fair use would be things like reviews, where you'll be using clips of, you know, Hollywood movies or AAA games, things that would


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Normally be, well I guess games to a lesser extent, but would normally be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, very protected. No unauthorized reproduction of the blah blah blah, et cetera, fines and jail time, et cetera. But, for the sake of critique, uh, you know, this is how channels that do movie reviews, for example, are able to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Show what they're actually talking about in the video. The point of the video. And that's what helps them get around the copyright law. The point of the video is not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The point of the video is their own content that's illustrated by them pointing at what they're talking about in the movie. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And with that said, there have been some, there have been some, uhm, some issues with, uh, here, there were a couple of examples, uh, Total Biscuit, I believe, was one of them. Unfortunately, that didn't make it into, that unfortunately didn't make it into the notes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Okay, well unfortunately there have been a couple situations where folks that feel like they really should be protected by fair use are not being and YouTube is offering up to a million dollars to protect them. So that's, uh, that's pretty interesting and it actually comes on the heels for me, this news, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of a really unfortunate situation that we ran into this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where we used a classical piece of music from the YouTube music library that was composed over 50- so it was, uh, the compo- the original composer died over 50 years ago. Making it- public domain, making the actual sheet music itself, the composition public domain in the US and Canada,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uhm, and then the, the, the, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the, the player who actually, the recorder who went ahead and, and played the music and then, uh, made their...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Made their recording of it free for commercial use and all that stuff and, you know, allowed it to be in the YouTube Music Library. Said, you know, yep, everything's cool with me, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] International copyright law, it turns out, is a bit of a bear, and in Germany, you have to wait until 70 years after the artist passes. So it hasn't been 70 years yet, so we actually got a letter about a video that we uploaded ages ago that's got like a million views now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we got a letter saying that we owe 4500 euros as a retroactive worldwide license for this song because they are the rights holder of the sheet music, even though in our territory it is not, uh, it is not protected.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, this is one of those situations where I really don't think there's gonna be a whole lot that's gonna come of it because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This music has been used an awful lot over a span of a year and the fact that they're just sitting on it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Waiting for an opportunity to go after people. Like I really don't think they're gonna be able to target the potentially tens of thousands of YouTube creators who have used that particular composition and extract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whose responsibility is what in this whole online content creation thing? Because if YouTube is providing the music library, which technically they do have a disclaimer on saying, you know, we're not responsible for whatever, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that opens up, like, let's say in all of our 3000 videos we had used this song, we could potentially owe...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, whatever that works out to. So 4500 euros times 3000. Sorry, I'm not that great at mental health.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we could owe 13 and a half million euros potentially, uhm, which...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know how much you guys know about how much, uh, YouTube channels make, but that sure as heck ain't it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of people think we make way more than we do. Right. Okay, well, no. In the entire time that Linus Media Group has ever existed, and for the foreseeable future, 13 and a half million euros will be out of reach. Wayyyy more. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean I'm not, I guess I'm just not really, I'm not really sure where I'm going with this other than to say that I'm glad that at least in these cases, uhm, the first four, oh here we go, the first four videos in the program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, here's one, sorry, did I say, oh, you know what, I actually don't know if TotalBiscuit was one of them. I know Jim Sterling was, though. So, so here's one of them. This, uh, this video is not available in your country due to a copyright claim, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. So, oh, this is a playlist of the four. So there's actually, there's a few here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so let's go back. There we go. No, sorry, one of them, Jim Sterling. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I totally screwed up. I thought it was, uh, I thought it was Total Biscuit, but I think what I did was I read this article and then I watched, uhm, I watched a Total Biscuit thing about copyright or something along those lines of fair use or whatever else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, cause he has, he just does such a great job of explaining some of these more complicated things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so basically they're saying they can't offer legal protection for every creator, but they will resist legally unsupported DMCA takedowns, because in the past it's been as simple as like, uhm, yup, that's mine, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, no, and it goes down right away without them actually having to provide any proof other than just signing a thing that says


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I've gone through the process a lot of times and I haven't issued any by mistake, like all of mine are actually content that I own and was, and were re-uploaded without my approval. Except by one that accidentally- Well, we can tell that story after, that's a pretty funny story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, it's so easy. All I have to do is go, this is my digital signature, yup, uh, you know, I'm a representative of this, and blah blah blah, and boom, it goes down usually within a couple hours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just like that. And uh, unfortunately sometimes the system can work too well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we got a copyright strike this week. Actually, there's a lot of stuff that's happened this week. It's been kind of a crazy week. We got a copyright strike, which I have never had before, and it basically disabled a ton of my YouTube creator profile.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until I went to copyright school, which I failed by the way. Uhm, well I tried to challenge the test and I got one thing wrong. Ohhhh. But what's funny about it is that it gave me access to my control panel anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I really don't know what the point of copyright school was in that case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when we dug further into it, so we got a copyright strike because a successful DMCA takedown had been issued for some of our content.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was like, what? And it was like, uh, uh, what was it? It was one of the, uhm, the Silverstone headphone stand design contest videos. And I was like, I don't even think there was any music in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is this even, what is this even about? And so finally, because my account is so limited, and because the video has been pulled down, it's hard to find any information about it, but I finally got to the right page, and the claimant was Linus Media Group. So when I dug into it, the contact email was for Colton. So I was like, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nick Light. So, uh, apparently he's not as good as Nick at, uh, filing takedowns because he managed to do a takedown on our own damn video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, okay, and this was after I had sent a super irate email to YouTube, being like, hey yo, I need my account back right away, we've got uploads to do and stuff. And they're just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it was issued by you. Have you tried retracting the takedown? No, I will look into that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Protects the intellectual property of Linus Media Group. Against Linus Media Group. To an unprecedented degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, oh, Colton's, Colton's texting, Colton's texting. Yep. Colton's texting. Send me hashtag rect. Yep, yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's okay, Colton, we love you, we love you dearly, although I don't know why you're watching Wan Show instead of doing actual work. Yeah, go back to work! Yeah, get back to work, Colton. We don't have to yell he's watching the show. He shouldn't be. Right. But he is, so we don't have to yell. That's fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so this is, I always, oh, I love these articles so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, this is from barons.com. Ah, yes. Yes, uh, get the full story. Yeah, I think I can live without the full story. Uhm, AMD could be profitable in 24 months. This is according to JP Morgan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the chip firm needs to drive share gains and remain disciplined on expenses to reach operating profitability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my, yeaah, that's, okay, so, you know what's really funny?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is normally, when we're late on a review, uhm, for like a key launch product, Intel CPU, AMD GPU, Nvidia GPU, I was gonna say AMD CPU, but that hasn't happened in the entire timeline this media group has existed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually, there's, there's, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a couple of different camps, right? There's the camp that's just like, hey I wanna watch the video!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then there's the camp that's like, hey, you're so biased, you didn't cover this. For the 380X?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally no one cared. Seems like a really good value card. Yeah, it seems alright, but you know what else was interesting? Uhm, AnonTech doesn't have a review up. Woah. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, do they still have the AMD zone on, on tech.com? I don't see it. Is it gone? Oh. Yea, it's gone, it's gone. The AMD zone is gone. Alright then. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, Zotac. That must have cost a fortune. I was just going to say that Zotac ad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has an entire takeover. They've got the top banner spot, left, right banner, uh, so they've got the background here, and then they've also got the tower banner above the fold here. And then poor Corsair. Yep. More down here? No, no, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god. I wonder if anyone has ever seen this banner before we did it just now. Maybe not. Possibly not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeaah. So, I haven't actually talked to Ryan over there, but my assumption is they probably ran into the same thing we did. And it's funny, because this really never used to happen to us that often, but it's happened twice in the last little while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our 6700K Skylake chip ended up in Peru twice before coming to us two weeks late, and our 380X arrived a couple of hours before Wensho started today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, the bench, which we have actually moved to a tower case now so we can do better thermal, uh, evaluations and better, cause especially now that cards are gonna boost differently depending on whether they're in a case or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really important, so, so we were like, yeah, we're like, we're like, on this. We're ready. We're just gonna throw that card in there, we're gonna run six benchmarks, and it's gonna be ready to freaking rock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, we have emails, like our email chain with AMD is hilarious, because it's like, yeah, your card's shipped. Yeah, your card should be there by now. Do you have a tracking number? Let me, let me look into that and get back to you. And I'm like, yo, do you have a tracking number? Oh yeah, your card didn't ship. Like, okay, so what made you think our card shipped?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, we're gonna get one from someone else. It's here now. It's here now, so we're gonna, we're gonna hit that early next week. Live Unboxing? And get that go- Sure! We haven't done a live unboxing in a dog's age! Oh, do, uh, do you wanna grab, uh, do you wanna grab, uh, oh, here, oh, okay, guys? Hang on, no, go, go, go, go! I'll, I'll get the other thing. We'll be, we'll be right back after these men-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it seems like it. Yeah, that's definitely a non-reference. Although I don't even know if they have a reference PCB for this card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watching someone read off the box really does remind me of the old unboxings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's nitro-charged for gamers. Yeah. As opposed to being nitro-charged for web surfing. For my fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well thank you, thank you Luke for that, uh, that live unboxing, uh, which is totally, totally authentically opening it for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, let's go ahead and uh, and move into- Oh, right. Did we ever actually finish that AMD could be profitable in two shares topic?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who pays these people to be analysts? Can we be these guys? I wanna be the analyst!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AMD planning stronger professional graphics push in 2016.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Okay. Wow. Just like has been what they've been doing for the last sort of while here. That's their company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Zen Processor Speculation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know what I should probably do then is why don't I, why don't I jet through our, uh, our sponsor stuff here for today. So our first sponsor is, uh, one that we actually haven't, I feel like we haven't talked about Dollar Shave Club in a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, uh, today's first sponsor is Dollar Shave Club, the service that lets you sign up to get a new razor every month. Well, not just a new razor, you actually get, like, a set of new razor blades so that you can have a nice, fresh shave every day. Yes, every day. And you don't have to be like... With a knife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Without Dollar Shave Club subscriptions. Alright! So, uh, basically they've got anywhere from a couple bucks a month, all the way up to their executive, which is actually still very affordable. I think it's like, nine dollars a month or something? Anyway, I don't remember exactly what the pricing is. It's available in Canada, the US, Australia, and Australia, I think. Is that it? Wow! I am, I am just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am not, I am not feeling it today. What are you doing? But the point is, they've got high quality razors and other bathroom supplies. They deliver them directly to your door for a few bucks a month and all you gotta do is go to dollarshaveclub.com slash Linus and join the club.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to leave the house to look like you leave the house. Uhm, which is pretty good. I mean sometimes people come over. I don't really leave the house much. I know. You just come here and go home. Yeaah. I know this to be true. But I don't necessarily look like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you see that sick picture that Brandon posted on Twitter of like the behind the scenes of that, of the Luke I Am Your Father scene? Like all the lighting and crap. You know what was the coolest thing about it? No green screen. Wasn't there beds?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So freaking cool though. Like it was like really far back. Like you could see all the lights and crap that they had set up. It was really cool. And like you could see all the people standing watching. Like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have felt really weird at times, doing booth coverage, particularly for Asus, because-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well, what I'll say about booth coverage at ASUS is whenever I'm there, like, ASUS goes all out at CES. Like, they have, remember. Oh, cause their whole team floats and follows you. Okay, that, that is weird. Okay. That is weird. ASUS is a huge company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, they're gonna have, like, product management teams for every category of products that they make. So we're talking optical drives, laptops, uh, bigger laptops, oh, smaller laptops, tablets that turn into laptops, tablets that don't turn into laptops, smartphones, smartphones that turn into tablets, smartphones that turn into laptops.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's endless. Routers. Routers. That turn into laptops. Uhm. They transform.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so whenever I'm doing booth coverage at Asus, there's like the North American PR team that's kind of following me around. There's the product manage, North American product management team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's the Taiwan product management team, there's the Taiwan marketing people, there's the, like, the sales people who are just like, oh, what's this crowd of people following around this guy who's making videos in the booth? And it gets to the point where there have been times, uhm, there was one that really stood out to me, it was for like an all-in-one or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was literally about 10 to 15, maybe, was it more?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was a lot. It was like somewhere between 10 and 15 people watching me do my like, like live to tape style recording video, and at the end of it, they all applauded. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was one of the weirdest experiences that I think that I've ever had making a video. It was pretty weird. And I make videos with Nick Van Berkel, who apparently needs to talk to me. Can I help you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting. Alright, well they- Like indoors, I'm assuming there's nothing they can do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so kinda like no skateboarding on the sidewalk, no more hoverboarding or, uh, self-balancing, uh, scooter or like whatever the generic terms are for them. That's really interesting. So I guess our, our jousting match, uh, would not be allowed in New York. But that was, that's what I'm asking. That was on a park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, thank you for contributing a topic to The Land Show for once in your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks Burkle. On the subject of, of Swagway jousting actually, it's not very often these days that we kind of, that we-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, check this out, my friends. If you do not already have a Vessel subscription. Oh. Uhm, or at least a free trial, Vessel actually put together, uh, like a trailer for our most recent channel, Superfun. What? You guys are gonna wanna watch this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah. Saved the best part for last. So they, uh, yeaah, they, they, they, they-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I know, I know. Uh, so they, the sound is great, by the way. Burkle spent so long editing this video. It's gotta be the greatest channel super fun we've ever made, though. Uh, it's absolutely sick. Everyone's all like, uh, I hate Vessel. Well, you know what, Vessel has made a big difference for us this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And is a big part of the reason that we can have a person dedicated to Channel Superfun. I'll let that sink in for a minute. We have an employee dedicated to Channel Superfun that has done like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few thousand dollars in total sponsorship money ever. And you can, you can look it up on SocialBlade. Doesn't make a ton on AdSense. So you guys do the math.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, there's a lot of, there's a lot of contributing factors. Tons. But I just, I don't want people to kind of go, oh, Vessel's crap, it's terrible. It is very helpful if you look at it from the other side of the fence. The creator side, they're awesome. Yep. Uh, people are like, why not Vimeo? Why Vimeo?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so actually we should probably do our other speaking of things that help us, help us keep things going around here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tunnel Bear is one of today's episode sponsors. The easy to use VPN app for mobile and desktop. It lets you tunnel in through up to 16 different countries, allowing you to browse the internet and use online services as though you are in that country. Tunnel 2, 16 different countries. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they have apps for iOS, Android, PC, and Mac, and they also have a Chrome extension, so your bases are pretty much covered. You just pick your country in the app, turn tunnel bear on, and watch as your bear tunnels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm never gonna get, I'm never gonna get tired of that. Bears don't huddle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love you guys, tunnel bear. You're cool, you got a great VPN service, okay? It's free for the first 500 megs, which is super awesome, a month. They're not like moles. But bears do not tunnel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They may be climb trees, okay? They do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I knew that. Well, I thought maybe the tusks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I meant like they could move them like this and they could bore a hole in front of their face. No, I'm just kidding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so any- anyway, your connection gets encrypted with AEX 256-bit encryption, and if you want to upgrade to unlimited data, you guys can head over to tunneltobear.com slash LTT if the first 500 megs is enough to whet your appetite, but not enough for all of your browsing needs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, and Nick has given me an updated copy for FreshBooks. FreshBooks is the easy to use invoicing software that helps small businesses look professional and get paid faster. And it does do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can try FreshBooks completely free for 30 days at freshbooks.com slash when. And make sure you type when in the how did you hear about us section.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I don't know if we had that. Anyway, so the point is, if you're like a small computer repair technician or a house painter, we gotta come up with other examples. There's like a billion tiny businesses. Twitch chat, help me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there you go. Everyone's, everyone's talking about cam girls. The entire Twitch chat, cam girls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, okay. But gardening, gardening, there we go, gardening's a good one. Weed is not a good example, unless it's legal, in which case, it's probably a very good example. Why not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] FreshBooks.com slash when for your small business to get paid on time, track your expenses, track your hours, and basically just make your life easier so you can spend your time running your business or enjoying the product you sell, whatever you're into, instead of dinking around in complicated accounting software.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, cause I should, uh, I should actually, uhm, stay on this page. In that case I should do it here so that they can hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uuuh. Is it? There's no space, right? No, it's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow. Oh wow. Can I lick this? Uhm. This is hilarious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I guess I'm doing it. So I accidentally went to the wrong, uh, the wrong LukeLAFR here on Twitter and it turns out that it is indeed the correct LukeLAFR, but look how young he is in that picture!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at that, like Luke's got a baby face as it is, especially when he shaves, but this is some, that is some next level baby face you got going on there. Wow, I love Dropbox.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any chance of a fan meet up? Day 9? I'm your biggest fan!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do work, literally I'm at 60 tests per mode now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I noticed you have a WordPress site now. I'm looking for, if you're looking for free help, I got you man. Playing any games? Who's poor habit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, so hold on here, here, here. Or wait, hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Okay, hold on, I have to pause this for a second. Okay, Twitch chat, Twitch chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Y'all gotta hear me out for a second here, okay? This video has 1200 likes and zero dislikes. I know! Let's keep it going, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I need all of you to get over there. Get over there. Can you post the link in Twitch chat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get over there and get a like on that video. Let's try and do something unprecedented, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An omen now, because, uh, that's where we got, uh, Nick Van Berkel from. Yeah. Oh wow, yeah. Cal Tire, yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Cal Tire owed us one for honking at us rudely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The percentage of Twitch chat that is pure troll is pretty high. To the core.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's still time, but your 240 souls can still be saved, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come back from the troll. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, what else we got here? This is great. So, former Apple designers say that Apple has lost the fundamental principles of good design.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and there's some pretty good points here. So this is coming from Apple's first interface designer. And the thing that you could kind of say is, well, okay, a lot has changed since the Apple poo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and you need to be able to do more and, and, and more purchase decisions are made these days based on how a device looks, whether it's rose gold or space grey, um, versus, you know, what specs does it have and, you know, how many lines of code can it show on the screen in, you know, one color green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or whatever, like the world has changed, but the fundamentals of good design don't necessarily go away. And there are some very legitimate criticisms here. So, uh, they criticize Apple for having no universal back or undo buttons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is something that I have been hating on for so long. And I'll hear people say, well no, and one of the things I complain about is most of the time, according to Apple's guidelines, it's in the top left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said, well hold on a second, Apple still hasn't fixed this crap even though they've got big phones that you can't reach with one hand anymore. And people are like, no, because you can swipe from the left. Sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another one is what they call hidden gesture based menus. And I know that there are freaks on earth. You heard me, Terran. Freaks!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who can have literally 30 macro buttons on their computers and have multiple profiles of different sets of macros.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And can actually use them. It's insane. It's amazing. Like they're not labeled. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For most people, a lot of the gestures that are showing up in iOS are gonna be ones that they're just plain not gonna remember exist. I mean, there's the ones that are really handy, like swipe to search, uh, you know, swipe up for, you know, being able to turn on the flashlight or disable Wi-Fi, but for whatever reason not enable portable hotspot. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's gonna even use this stuff? How about you just make that functionality accessible in a way that's actually meaningful to me? And then the last one is pushing visual simplicity over usability testing in the new human interface guidelines that they're publishing for developers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, to be clear, they're not only criticizing Apple for this, they're also criticizing Google Maps. Uhm, Google Maps, like, used to be so easy to use. And now, because I don't use it very often, pretty much every time I try to find the satellite view, I can't find it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just like, where the crap did they put it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It at least doesn't take me literally 25 minutes away from where I'm trying to go, like Google Maps has done a couple of times. Really? Yeah, when I was shopping for this place!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I missed the appointment to see this place the first time. Because Google Maps took me to some residential area, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Literally, way out in like 260th street. That's brutal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like, in Europe, I get it, okay? Because in Europe, no offense to Europeans, but the way streets are laid out are ridiculous. It's just random. Like, you might as well just, you might as well just like, you know, take, take a map of the town, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shake it, and like kick it, and then like take a hat full of like random words and dump it on it. And like that's how they're named.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you could sanity check, that's the point I'm trying to make though, is they could sanity check an address to make sure it makes at least an ounce of sense. Whereas in Europe I understand that that's not always possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I can't figure out the economics of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's like a huge problem. That's a huge problem because we can't just do random things that make us happy, unfortunately. The world doesn't work that way. Although Channel Superfun has, we do do some of that, but sketch comedy, like to do it well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I want to do it well. Like I want to have, you know, a budget and actors and props and locations and, you know, not the free grade of music. Like I want to have like good music in it that you'll end up having to pay for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To do sketch comedy right, we would probably need somewhere in the neighborhood of about a $5,000 budget per sketch. To be even decent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's like, you guys are probably looking at it going, well you guys are just wasting money or whatever. No, no. It's, it's, it's called sustainability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like yes, we could make a sketch on our own time on the weekends for very cheaply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if it's part of what we're doing as a company, and if it's, if it's not, if it's part of like, you know, making the people who help us, the actors who contribute to our production, or the camera operators who come in and help us, like, part of making sure that they're making a living, you have to pay those people fairly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, fairly doesn't necessarily mean 15 bucks an hour because, you know, that's the minimum wage plus sum. Because these people are in a feast and famine industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're getting paid nothing, which means that when they are getting paid, they need to be making like, a pretty good-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Streets being poorly laid out in Europe has nothing to do with racism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the next twenty years, every two years, we're gonna level a tenth of the city, and put it back together in a sensible manner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uuuh, alright. Intel says Moore's Law isn't dead. Original article here is from VentureBeat and was posted on the forum by Neofalfa?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so Intel gets all defensive and like, I visited AMD's, um, SSD thing in Folsom back like four years ago or something like that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I accidentally walked into a room that had like, I think I can talk about it now because their 3D NAND is out. But this was like really early stages, like technical drawings of how their 3D NAND was gonna work. And they were like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've been in here? You didn't take any pictures of that whiteboard, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, no? Like don't take any pictures of that whiteboard. And they went over and like erased it. Like it was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like a big deal. Anyway, uhm, so I actually did interviews with some of their engineers and I was like, okay, so the hard drive guys are saying that, you know, Moore's Law and, and SSDs can't scale in capacity the way that Magnetic has, and they're just like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys are, you guys are cocky, I get that, I respect that, that's fine. Uhm, I never actually pulled up the article here, so uh, then-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good job, alright. Intel says, Moore's Law ain't dead yet. Uhm, so they figure, we're gonna make it all the way down to, what was it, like 7 nanometers, yea. So, Intel can see its path through 7 nanometer in spite of some difficulties with 14 nanometer that have been fairly well, uh, well publicized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's a slide that is in extremely low resolution, but hopefully you guys somewhat get the point. Uhm, but one thing that is happening for sure is that the cost per millimeter squared is going up. So even though you're still able to achieve that doubling of how many transistors you can put per millimeter squared,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is getting more expensive, so don't expect to see, and we've already seen this to a certain extent, don't expect to see that twice as many transistors, like a capability, necessarily turn into chips that are twice as capable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because in order to offset the additional cost per millimeter squared, we might end up with smaller chips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's something that, you know, we've already kinda seen happening, but uhm, will become more and more of a factor as time goes on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, this is the review. No, this was announced a while back. This is the same time as the devices people care about, Surface Book and Surface Pro 4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So technically a tunnel has to go somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, tummy tunnel could still be correct. Cause it goes somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm, speaking of things that no one cared about, we actually, I think we were teasing them about this a little bit when we did the unboxing, but we should talk about sort of where the, uh, where the R9 380X


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really, it's- this is really funny, okay? I'm gonna tell a story that I'm not sure- Oh yeah, I was gonna tell a funny story before that I never ended up telling, I don't think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Okay, so the R9 380X, it's really funny because Luke was joking to me when we found out that we weren't gonna get the card in time, so we ended up releasing a moving vlog that we've kind of had in the bank for a rainy day for a while, instead of our 380X review, which was on the schedule. Uhm, he was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at the MSRP of the R9 380X. And then just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take the price and the prices of the other cards and extrapolate the FPS from there. And I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're joking, right? He's like, yes. I'm like, okay, good. And I'm like, but that would totally work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, and this has been the conclusion for what, like your last eight graphics card reviews?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And looks at how theirs performs, cause they're the only ones who know at that point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they price it exactly where it fits. And that is what the R9 380X is. It's a compelling value if you wanted to spend 230 US dollars on a graphics card. If you wanted to spend 200 dollars, you could buy the 380. And if you wanted to spend 250 dollars, you could get a 285.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm really hoping that with the die shrink and with HBM, Nvidia is gonna knock my socks off next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they are working on rendering tricks to, you know, don't render it from that angle, and pre-defish eye and all that kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] SLI might universally make a ton of sense. VR SLI looks badass. Because it can render each eye separately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As its own, as its own low latency path, uhm, I am super stoked on what SLI means for VR performance. It could be a literal doubling across the board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, that's right, you do, don't you? Yes! Alright, Nick insists, so I'm gonna do it. Nick insists that I bring this up. The LTT edition Noctua fans are in stock. You can actually order them and they will ship immediately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I haven't gotten a single person tweeting at me saying it didn't work, which is great, which is exactly why we partnered with Noctua for this, because I did not want to see that kind of stuff. With that said...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're shipping 4,000. So, with that said, uhm, so I got PerformancePC's site up here. There's 303 NFA 14s left for Americans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are 143 NFF12s left for Americans. Uhm, overclockers.co.uk may be out already. If they, if yea, if they have any, it is not very many and probably only 140s. Uhm, NCIX still has a fair bit of stock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and they ship worldwide, but you're gonna eat it on the shipping cost, so if you can find someone closer to you while they still have stock, now is the time. And PLE in Australia still has a few, mostly 140s, but they do still have some 120s, so if you guys want them, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get yours today! I don't know if we're gonna make more. I legitimately don't know if we're gonna make more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they won't last forever, that's for sure. I'm not getting into the business of like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Selling fans all day and allocating a bunch of our warehouse space to like pallets of fans. That's not happening. Uhm, this is just something that I felt really passionately I wanted to exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I, I bought 4,000 of them so that I could make sure that we met the minimum order quantity so that they could exist. And then now that they exist, I am content. They exist now. I don't need to make more of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, oh right, this is huge. There is a new merch store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this link, merch.linustechships.com has always kind of led to a super crappy merch store that's like all out of stock and stuff and like overpriced shipping and a lot of other issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have officially partnered with Teespring to bring you guys a fully Teespring'd out merch store and to celebrate


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have brought back almost all of our previous designs. So now they are not just available in one style or one color. You can go to any of our designs and you can pick the colors that you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See? Check that out. You can pick the, uh, the style that you want. So you can get- now get hoodies in some of the styles that never had hoodie designs before. Like just the plain wands, stealth shirt, the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, resolution is just a number, has to be retooled to be, uh, 10 colors or less. And, uh, brofist also has to be retooled to reduce the number of colors because we're using a different printing technology here that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, it can't do more than ten colors. So there you go guys, and, and there's more to it than that. This is really cool. So for the holiday, Nick is literally messaging me about this now. I'm sure that's what he's doing. Uh, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, oh, okay, yeah, no, that's, that's fine, Nick. Uhm, and stay tuned, guys, because we are planning to do an offer code for the holiday season, uhm, so that every design is going to be available for a discount for the holiday season. I don't remember what the offer code is, but, uh, yeaah, stay tuned for that, guys, cause it's gonna be AWESOME!

[Assistant] Uhm, this is really cool. Sony enabled PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility. Sort of without telling anyone. They have officially announced it now. But uhm, there you go. That's cool. Here you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Update! A Sony representative sent us the following statement in response to our query about the emulator's existence. We are working on utilizing PS2 emulation technology to bring PS2 games forward to the current generation. We have nothing further to comment at this point in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I legitimately haven't run a PS2 emulator. I have a PS2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, uh, but I know that they exist. I have run PS1 emulators. Uhm, I never owned a PS1. I'll admit to that. Well actually I did own one, but the optical drive broke and it was out of warranty, so I used an emulator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not, it's not legal, but in much the same way that I can own all the DVDs of South Park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I will stream it to myself using AirVideo, which is technically not allowed in some countries anyway, I don't even know in Canada. I don't care, because as far as I'm concerned- You paid for the content? I paid for that piece of content, so you guys can just- I'm down to back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the reasons that I emulate is that I really like save states. Save states are cool!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm not that into that. I mean, like, back when, like, the save point was like this manipulative thing to make you keep playing, when it's like, realistically, you know what my kid's crying right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ration my use of save states. I use save states for convenience and for time management. I do not use them to cheat. So a game like Final Fantasy Tactics is- have you ever played it? Play it now!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Play it now. Okay, so anyway, but it's a turn-based, it's a turn-based. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it would be so easy to cheat with save states, but I don't. I use save states to make sure that I can pause the game when I have to walk away from it for two days. See, that's cool. Cause like, cause like when I was a kid, right? And I didn't have an emulator and I had a Super Nintendo. I just have to leave my SNES on for like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yea, Twitch chat, Twitch chat, NOW. Just do it. Tactics now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great game. Oh, people are asking how to get the hoodie that we're wearing. That's uh, teespring.com slash wan christmas. So the main store is just for past campaigns, we're still gonna do like, limited edition campaigns. So uh, so there you go. Alright, what else do we have? What else do we have for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, this is a really cool thing about the PlayStation 2 emulator. Much like many emulators can do, they are actually taking this opportunity to upsample the games. So they are running at, uh, looks like, uh, 1292 by 896. Cool stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently runs pretty smoothly. Only a few titles have been released for backwards compatibility so far. Uhm, it's like some Star Wars stuff and stuff like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is posted by 9shadow on the forum. Samsung is bringing back the flip phone with a smart flip phone. Yes my friends, a smart phone flip phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. CPU, 1.8GHz, 1.4GHz, big little, uh, well that's interesting, 768x1280. So they've gone not quite 16x9. Very interesting. Super AMOLED screen. Okay. So basically it's not like a flagship device or anything like that, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Personally, I think there's a value to the flip phone. It does put the microphone closer to your mouth, so that's cool. It has 64 gigs of internal storage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh, no, nevermind. Oh, sorry. No, no, no, no. I, I misinterpreted a couple of things here. That is a flagship phone. That's got an Exynos 7420, 3 gigs of RAM, 64 gigs of storage, Android 5.1.1 Lollipop,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And two 3.9 inch Super AMOLED displays with a 16 megapixel primary camera and a numeric T9 keypad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, what else do, what else was I, oh yeaah. Do you think, did you ever really, uh, did you ever really text using T9? Like was that a thing for you for a long time or did you get a cell phone in there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, T9 was predictive number pad typing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I did. Okay, you did. Uhm, do you think you could type faster on T9 than on a touchscreen still?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still use it a little. Cause I dial all my contacts with T9. Oh, interesting. You don't do that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't do that. Oh, it's by far the fastest way to call people. Cause you just bring up the dial pad and then you're just like, boom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And it brings up the corresponding T9 matches. And if, but if you dial phone numbers...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It also recognizes that. That's what I do. Yeaah. But you know people's phone numbers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do you think you could- Or it's in my favorite scene of the time. Do you think with practice you could get faster than touch screen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'd be really interested to know what the battery life's like. Oh! Oh! I can announce the, uh, the offer code. So for $3 off everything in the Teespring store, uh, the offer code is allcapsholiday. Some of you people in chat were complaining about the price tags.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, yeah, three dollars off, boom. Uh, what else we got here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, ba-da-da-daaam. That stupid watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeah, right, this stupid thing. Okay, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? I mean, it's not like the idea is stupid. Introducing the Block Smartwatch. The, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We even ripped the name off of phone blocks. Now it's like watch blocks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so it's made of, it's a work, modular smartwatch made of several links or modules, each of which can be a variety of different things, including a fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor, LED, SIMG is at blood oxygen level, blah, blah, haptic feedback, camera, flash memory, developer module, kinetic charger, extra battery, body temperature, etc.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're live on Kickstarter, and that's when my interest level completely fell off the rails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I just have so little faith. I mean, just in the last week alone, okay? The coolest cooler made headlines for not having fulfilled its backers orders yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And having the cooler up for sale on Amazon in an attempt to recoup the money that they need to
