[Assistant] For Twitch to come in and start going heavy-handed like, anyone who has bots viewing their stream, you know, you're banned, you're cut off, your partnership, you know, your subscriber revenue is getting withheld, I mean, that would be grossly unfair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, click fraud, uh, view fraud, any kind of, any kind of fraud is so hard for a content creator, especially a smaller one. I mean, for, actually this is a great opportunity for me to get into, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To get into what happened with our Amazon Associates account, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anytime a content creator runs afoul of a much larger entity, whether we're talking about Google, Amazon, Twitch, owned by Amazon, speaking of much larger entities,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can be so hard, and I understand the reasons for this. I mean, you gotta, you gotta think about it. Like a program like, uhm, you know, an Amazon Associates, or like the creator management team at a company like Google, which is like, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's Alphabet, and then there's Google, and then there's YouTube, and then there's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there are literally millions of creators in some cases, at least hundreds of thousands, that much we know for sure. So, for even someone like me, where I would like to think that I'm fairly significant, I think I'm in the top 500 in change of YouTubers, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's say top 600 to be safe. Even for me, getting in touch with a partner manager took until about a year and change ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to give you guys some idea, that was how long it took them to reach out to me. Get this, they reached out to me about the Tech Quickie channel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did I tell you that? They weren't actually reaching out about the Linus Tech Tips channel. We completely slipped through the cracks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, I would have noticed. I get notifications on my phone for every email.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would have noticed. I was like, wow!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They talked to me! Oh, be still my heart! So, uhm, so especially for a small content creator, any time, so, okay, anyway, it's really small teams managing this stuff, they only have so much bandwidth to manually review things, so a lot of this stuff is done by automated systems, and to get someone to review it has to be done in a priority fashion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So- Good luck! Like, I lost my channel four and a half years ago. Took me over a month to get it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took YouTube literally five years to ever get in touch with me about anything. Uhm, and when, uh, so getting into the Amazon thing, when I was found to be in breach of Amazon's associate's terms of service, my appeal process was basically, yo, can we talk about this on the phone? Yo. No. Uhm. Good luck elsewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it is, so it can be pretty tough. Now with that said, so, so leading back into because, you know, we consider ourselves to be something of a key online video


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazon associates, our Amazon links were, were dead. Our account was dead and everything was dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, since that time, I have managed to get on the phone with someone, and it looks like we are going to work together to move forward. I've actually got some notes that I put together about sort of what has exactly gone on. So, it was pointed out to me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyone is allowed, even, unless you've been found to be, like, clearly, maliciously abusing the program, uhm, anyone is allowed to change their business model and to a compliant business model and reapply.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so we've actually been approved as of yesterday morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, here's what I have to say to you guys. This does mean there will be a new ID. You won't have seen that anywhere yet because we're working very carefully to go through our


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything, and make sure that all of our practices, all of our editors know, you know, how to call it out correctly, uhm, you know, all of our writers know how to call it out correctly. So we want to make sure that we are 100% above board because I do not imagine for a second that I have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A longer, a longer leash than, uh, you know, about this. Uh, if, if we were to ever violate the, the terms of the agreement again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, here's what I'll say. If you're a creator out there who is using the Amazon Associates program, or if you're looking into the Amazon Associates program, because honestly,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In spite of the stress that I've gone through in the last week, I still highly recommend participating in the program. It is a great...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great program. It's a great way to make additional revenue without compromising any integrity. That's one of the things that I love about it, is that because Amazon carries everything,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can recommend something on Amazon without there being any conflict.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause they carry everything. I don't care if you buy the LG G5 or the, you know, OnePlus 3. I don't give a crap. Just go buy it there. Buy one. Yeah, buy both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so, here's what I'll say. Carefully study the terms of the agreement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carefully clicking on all of the hyperlinks within the terms of the agreement because there are subterms of the agreement within the terms of the agreement. Review them all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of it is kind of vaguely worded, but I understand why they do this, and it's to prevent abuse. You can't cover every eventuality. I get that. So some of the terminology


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does seem a little grey, but here's the advice that I've, and this is my personal advice, this is not coming from Amazon, I'm making it very clear that I'm not affiliated with Amazon in any way other than that I am a participant in the Amazon Associates program. That's something that they say that you're supposed to say, so, there you go. It's in the terms of service.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way to read it is keeping in mind the spirit of the agreement, which is that you are to show your viewers or your audience applicable products on Amazon, especially ones that you like or recommend, and you are to provide them with a means to quickly buy it by clicking on a link that you provide them. So if you keep that in mind,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While you read through it, the rules are much easier to understand. So, uh, there you have it. Uh, we have, we have learned our lesson. Uhm, we were extraordinarily lucky that we have some friends of some friends who were


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who were very generous to put their necks out and vouch for us being good people who were not maliciously abusing the program. So a huge shout out to, uh, to all the people who quietly helped us with this. Thank you for that. And, uh, look forward to seeing more Amazon links under our videos moving forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lesson learned, and uh, it was a good one. Speaking of lesson learned, I wonder what lessons will be learned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From this. Original source here is from the BBC.com. The United Kingdom...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is no longer part of the European Union. Holy actual freaking crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of incredible stuff here, like if you guys were like me, you were probably glued to your phone last night, uh, just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looking at all the mind-blowing stats around this and all the speculation going on, but here's a few key ones. 71.8% of eligible voters attended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have never, I mean, I know that it broke UK records, but I mean, does that, does that break every record?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy is just how divided the country was. So in the end, it was a mere 52 to 48% vote. It was incredibly close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, England was just a touch higher, uh, on the leave side of things. Wales was right there in the thick of things at the average 52 and a half voted leave.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, uhm, we might have actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, done the wrong thing when we stayed in the UK a little while ago. We might be, uh, referending- referenderumming again. Uhm, this is interesting. Okay, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, one of my, uh, one of my, one of my favorite Québécois over there sent me this Wikipedia article on the Quebec referendum, which was actually another, uh, quexit, I guess we could call it, when, when Quebec voted on whether to leave Canada and become an independent country for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this was on October 30th, 1995 and 93.52% of people turned out to vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 50.58. Yeah, I had forgotten how close that was. Okay, alright, thanks A-Prime. You got me there, you got me there. Uhm, I should have studied up my Canadian history better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, what does all of this mean? First, let's talk a little bit about what being a member of the EU has meant in purely technological terms. Um, cheaper airfares. Um, easier, uh, easier studying and travelling and living abroad on the mainland, in mainland Europe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chief for cell phone service. So the way that the EU has cracked down on roaming charges within, uh, European Union members has been a huge benefit to EU countries. I have, I have been to the EU, uhm, and travelling over borders. Extraordinarily easy. Very, very cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember when the Euro got implemented, but it wasn't like, it was not, it was in my adult lifetime-ish. Like I remember going to Paris and there still being Franks when I graduated high school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh, whatever. Uhm, so it began after World War II, and it was all about economic cooperation, uhm, and has, and has become more than that since.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so why then did United Kingdom residents vote to leave? So they claimed they were being held back, said it imposed too many rules on businesses, and charged billions of pounds per year in membership fees for little return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanted Britain to take back full control of its borders and reduce the number of people coming to work and live in the country because that's one of the things as much as many Britons have been enjoying


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, the same is true of anyone else who wants to go and live in the UK.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They also objected to the move towards what they saw as the creation of a United States of Europe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So here's a few more interesting tidbits. The pound has fallen to its lowest since, or fell, I don't know if it stayed there actually, I haven't looked recently, but it fell to its lowest since 1985. Fun fact, our amazon.co.uk affiliate payouts haven't been cashed in a really long time. Yeah, I heard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So, so we actually like just lost, uh, like, like a really long time. I know. So we just lost like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, not insignificant. So, thanks for that, Brexit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoever did, whoever did is fired. So, it's pretty funny though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Turn it on and boom, your connection gets encrypted with the AES-256-bit encryption and your public IP address gets switched so you show up as though you are from somewhere else. Something that could end up being more relevant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think about this. Things like content law could now be dramatically different between Britain to- this is where I'm tying it back into tech. A lot of people asking in the Twitch chat. Uh, content law could be very different in Great Britain than it is in the rest of the EU. Holy crap, you could have completely different- aw man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you could have completely different, like, censorship layers. You could have all kinds of stuff that a VPN could be beneficial for. Uh, man. Oh, this is gonna be, this is gonna be an interesting ten years.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want people to know what my hours of operation and my menu are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. That's actually kind of incredible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They may actually watch this. I'm kidding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would open a food restaurant. And it's great because, uh-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] American Dad actually has an episode where the main character, Stan, opens what he calls the food restaurant or his food restaurant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And his food restaurant is stupid. And I wouldn't open a food restaurant like that because his served like, I don't know, it's like chocolate dipped chicken wings or whatever, like just dumb stuff. Uhm, so my food restaurant would be kind of like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, kind of like what I think restaurants like Whitespot try to do, where they'll have like a chicken teriyaki dish, and they'll have like a fish and chips, and they'll have like a butter chicken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a variety, except the problem is that they do everything in sort of this super non-authentic, uh, pandering to, to, you know, Midwestern, you know, white people sort of way. It's like you're trying butter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly. So, so my food restaurant would be kind of like a, like an all-star, all-star team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it would, it would kind of have, it would have meals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I don't actually know that we would do family style dishes, I think it would be individual, individual meals, and I would want those individual meals to, like, like, it would, I would kinda say, okay, we're gonna have a larger than normal kitchen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna have to kind of absorb some, some operating overhead there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, you'll have to have a little bit of background. I think you'll have to bring in some consultants whenever you want to introduce a new dish because you're not going to expect your, you know, Cajun specialist to all of a sudden be able to whip up an amazing Thai dish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I would say, okay, let's absorb some extra operating overhead here and let's be able to put together kind of set meals so that any group of people can come and dine and, you know, if I'm going out with, you know, uhm, like a Taiwanese partner or something,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can take them there and they can get some, you know, some dim sum or some, you know, Singaporean style Hainanese chicken or whatever and I can have a burger and both of those things will legitimately be somewhat authentic and good. That would be the objective of my restaurant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, that's true. Especially Vancouver, it's great. Actually, there was another great restaurant idea that I had a while back. Uhm, I would want it to be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. So my restaurant, actually this was another really good idea I thought that I had. Every dish would be really awkward to eat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and the idea would be that you would go there with a date.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Perfectly consume every meal without getting something dribbling down their arm or on their chin or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which we can't talk about. Here's the thing, uhm, actually this is a good topic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why aren't we talking about RX or R-480? Because we do talk about pre-release hardware rumors very frequently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we're not talking about it because we know the answer. We can talk about rumors when we...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at this product, but we are not going to say anything about it until such time as the broad release of information is allowed to go out as specified by in this case AMD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so once we've signed that, we can't talk about it until it's time to talk about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a lot of people have asked, you know, why is it that every tech channel has a video on the GTX 1080 at exactly the same time? That is why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And our card gets, you know, held by customs for three days or something like that. So by having, usually it's anywhere from about five on the very low end, which is very frustrating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, anywhere from about 5 to about 12 days. Usually that's how long you have with a product. So that allows enough time for something to go wrong. Like, you know, for someone's kid to get sick and need some chicken soup or whatever. Uhm, for something to go wrong and for you to still get your coverage out at the same time as everyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cable company overcharges might be even worse than you realize. The original article here is from Ars Technica, and I love those guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at that flying sheet of money. And the other flying sheet of money. And the other flying sheets of money. But this image is not about freedom. This image is about getting fleeced by your cable provider. Especially if you're an American. Not that I believe for a second that it's any better anywhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And these problems are bad because neither company had been issuing automatic refunds or credits to overcharged customers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So during the six and a half year time period examined by the committee, TWC and Charter made no effort to trace equipment overages to their origin unless customers specifically asked them to and did not provide notice or refunds to customers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Comcast told the subcommittee that it only had a billing error rate of 0.3%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Time Warner Cable will begin investigating the overcharges only if customers bring it to their attention. So if you're a Time Warner Cable customer,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give him a ring over there, and I don't mean this kind of ring, I mean the kind of ring that goes, YO DOG SUP!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yea, there's that. Yea, you end up suffering more than the four dollars that you probably individually got overcharged. Anyway, going forward, both companies will apparently provide customers with a notice if they are overcharged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. No conflict of interest there whatsoever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's funny how many inherent conflicts of interest exist in the world. Uhm, I mean, and this is all like, sanctioned stuff. Like, you recently, oh, are we able to talk about that? Sorry. Your big thing that happened recently that's been very exciting for you and kind of crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, when you deal with a realtor, okay, whether you're buying, whether you're leasing, or whatever the case may be, when you deal with a realtor, ultimately, there exists, as far as I can tell,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is an inherent conflict of interest because the seller or the leaser, not the leasy or, uhm, sell-ee, whatever, I don't care, you guys get the point. So the seller or whoever is leasing the property pays the realtor fees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they pay that sort of on top of the, or out of the amount, not on top of, sorry, out of the negotiated rate that the buyer ends up agreeing to pay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, the way it works is that, let's say, hypothetically, a house is, uh, $440,000, for example, let's say hypothetically, so what would happen is, a typical real estate agent, uh, commission is, I think, somewhere in the one to, uh, quite a bit more than one, I think as high as like three or four percent?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically what happens is the seller is responsible for paying that to their realtor that they have entered a covenant with or whatever the case may be to represent them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, that Realtor, ultimately, like, there's this code of ethics or whatever, which is great for people who actually abide by those types of codes, but I've certainly met those who don't. Uh, there's this code of ethics that says that they have to represent you and blah blah blah, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact of the matter is, they get paid no matter what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They get paid more if the rate is higher. So okay, if they're representing the seller, then that's great. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a realtor potentially, and often, in many cases, for the buyer as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who also gets paid by the seller, who also gets paid a proportion of the amount that the property sells for,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where basically, there's these negotiators on both sides. Both of whom, it is in their best interest to flip through properties as quickly as possible at as high a rate as possible. And I'm to believe, as a buyer especially, that this is somehow in my best interest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good luck. Fortunately, my realtor is actually the dad of someone that my wife went to high school with and like their families know each other and so there's, there's some trust there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and he has not steered me wrong, uhm, which is good, but anyway. Let's move on to this fantastic article over here on Polygon. Counter-Strike player files suit against Valve over illegal gambling surrounding CSGO.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very interesting, I mean it was a matter of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before skins and match, I mean, you've already got match fixing, so you're as close to real gambling as you can be before being declared real gambling that only adults can participate in, you know, age of majority and all that stuff that goes along with normal gambling sites and gambling participation and gambling establishments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So creating more glamour around the practice of betting. Uhm, so Connecticut resident Michael John McLeod has filed a suit currently seeking class action status, and I don't actually see that being a difficult thing to achieve here, against Valve and three skin gambling and selling sites, and the complaint alleges that Valve


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ...knowingly allowed and has been complicit in creating, sustaining, and facilitating a market where players and third-party trade- third- uh, and, excuse me, where players and third parties trade weapon skins. It continues that they knowingly allowed, supported, and or sponsored illegal gambling by allowing millions of Americans to link


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their individual Steam accounts to third-party websites.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all the encryption and account management is done over on Valve side. We never even get it. We just get a hash or a token or whatever. And you can use your, your Valve two-factor authentication, all that good stuff. Uhm, so there's plenty of legit uses for that, but I can see where they're kinda coming from here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in the e-sports gambling economy, this is further, further allegations, skins are like casino chips that have monetary value outside the game itself because of the ability to convert them directly into cash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bloomberg has reported that CSGO skin gambling is currently a two billion dollar industry. So in sum,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I gotta say, that sounds from just a sort of like a rational, reasonable person who's been observing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of this weird environment over the last few years. That sounds not quite bulletproof, but pretty compelling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like pretty tightly regulated in Canada. You have to spend a certain amount of your income on anti-gambling advertisement. Like, this is a really tightly regulated industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It will be interesting to see what happens, that's for sure. To be clear, no means no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said you didn't know the law very well. I'm just making sure you're at least aware of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Microsoft will use Steam to sell Windows games, not just its own store. Wow! A move from Microsoft that actually looks like they actually care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very nice, original article here is from Ars Technica, uhm, and a couple of their latest, uhm, blah blah blah, blah blah blah, a couple of their latest games, so Forza, Six Apex, and Killer Instinct have done well on the store, but Quantum Break did not.

[Assistant] Uhm, but Phil Spencer said Microsoft will ship games on Steam again and noted that while some game releases have done well in Windows Store, uhm, Quantum Break wasn't our best PC release and Gears of War Ultimate Edition was okay. Awesome! I'm excited! Because I almost played...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing that isn't on Steam. It is so convenient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, we've got a couple other sort of rapid-fiery topics here. Uh, Sandisk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of extra storage, all it does is bulk up the phone. There's a surprisingly little actually, not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That badly, and instead of investing an additional $300 or whatever it is to get an iPhone with that amount of storage, you can just have a bumper case on it that has a little bit more bulk at the bottom by the lightning connector so that there can be a power pass through and so that it can have a data interface to that storage and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Off you go. The one problem with this is that you will be limited to USB 2 speeds, but, uh, you know, hey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, 1900 mAh battery pack. I mean, that will turn your iPhone 6s into like a bit of a brick, but uh, 32 gigs of storage is 60 bucks, uh, 64 gigs is 100, and 128 is 130. See, this, by the way, Apple, is how pricing for additional flash storage should work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, there's like some iPhone 7 rumors or something, I'm not really sure how much I care about that. Uh, there were a couple other things that I thought were pretty, pretty interesting. Where did they go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what, let's call that it for the day. Thanks for watching Wanshow and a huge thanks to Nick. You guys, uh, again, you can find him over at, at NickLMG over on Twitter. I'm gonna post that in the, uh, I'm gonna post that in the Twitch chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for watching guys, we'll see you again next week. Same bat time, same bat channel. Bye!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People wanted us to talk about iPhone 7. Okay, uhm, fine. Uhm, iPhone 7 rumors, expected to be a revision of iPhone 6. Wow, is that really a note on this? Okay, forget it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got an old gray cable. Yes. Uh, which isn't nearly as long as the new nicely braided cable that we had. Nope. So we got the beat up a little bit grungy with some stains on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Server interconnects where it's like a quarter the size of the server and it just plugs into the bottom. Never have downtime.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were no giant insane protests.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After our last election. That's true. Honestly, it was pretty civil. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yay! More logins! Security is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Yeaah. Don't worry about that one. That's cool. He's saying it's a challenge for us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I talked to my dad who knows the team, he's actually played against the team that you guys played against, like a more real match. And he said that the captain of their team said that the worst thing about you guys, cause this was the only one that I missed, the worst thing about you guys was that you just refused to properly communicate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I watched the episode and it's actually like, it's, it's entertaining enough that you have to watch the whole thing, but then it's actually difficult to watch just cause it's like, wow. How is this possibly happening?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've told you that, right? My ankles? Both my ankles are permanently scarred from the ice hockey one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? Yeah. Look at this. I can't really show the camera very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're matching on the other side. They look like bruises. They do, but they're permanent scars. Really? Uh, remember how I said my ankles hurt? Yeaah. The laces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They actually dug chunks out of the sides of my ankles. Everyone else was like, you guys were like, you need to re-skate down the ice and do the slide again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At like one in the morning, Brandon and I shot the end of the networking wall video with my like ankles bleeding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I, we packed up and Brandon and I both left still that night to Switzerland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't sell it there. So we had to like figure out what the problem was and then I ended up like just showing this guy my like really gross at this point like infected looking ankle thing and he figured it out and uh, gave me some random stuff and then I talked to Yvonne later, apparently I applied it wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're supposed to let it breathe, put it under a band-aid. So I applied it wrong for about a week. And now I have permanent scars from nerdsports. So I will never forget about nerdsports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're just emotional ones. I like how they're matching. Still symmetrical, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a jobs crisis. We have a financial crisis. Our economy is kind of in the hole. We lost like a huge amount of jobs and, uh, money from the oil market being totally screwed over. And housing is ridiculously expensive. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But where do you go? Cause a lot of places where housing is cheap, jobs are a huge issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, the guy that made the claim about how, uh, MacBook Pros couldn't use more RAM because it would take too much power. You know that guy? You know his last name? What? Schiller?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of drowning in a pool of your own tears, uh, GoPro has recalled its Karma drone. Might be part of the reason why we never got one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just need to make a title that has nothing to do with the video at all. And then it'll work out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, I love it. All capitals, exclamation mark at the end, and then you just going like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll work. I believe you. In you. I believe in you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love it. I'm 100% sold. I don't even- I literally don't need- I know where you're gonna go with this, and I'm totally on board. Okay, so- Oh, I'm excited.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So anyways, knowing that and reading the Honest Unboxing channel, what I thought you were gonna do is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so there's a fingerprint reader on the back. That's not technically innovative or new, but it's good that it's on their premier phone. Yeah, and the 6P had a fingerprint reader on the back, didn't it? Which is literally like the one before this. But everyone's talking about this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, and then we, and then we swear in the video, and we put like, things that are like, bleep this. Buh, don't let this in. And then it goes through two stages of uploads. And still makes it through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you think? Every single video on there has to be sponsored.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not from other unrelated companies. It has to be that company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's a valuable resource because you can see exactly what the marketing points are for that company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll just like, use a phone. We'll just like, tape it to our chest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moose Coop just said, review my game. Alright, you press 1 every time. If you ever press 2, you lose. There, game over. It's a choose your own adventure game. Always press 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, if you guys want to know how to not get banned from the LTT bot in Twitch chat, don't talk ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're never gonna update the rules, so anytime a new big movie that we care a lot about comes out, we're gonna put key points in it that are spoilers, and then those will always stay in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The amount of people getting permanently timed out right now is solid. I love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our shirts? My friend called me up and he's like, you know what Luke, you have the best shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They make you smell great again? They make me- They make you look great again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. And honestly, it's a good idea to buy Christmas stuff early. I'm already done shopping for my mom. I'm already done shopping for my dad. I have part of my brother's gift. I have part of my girlfriend's gift. I'm already done shopping for my brother's girlfriend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gave me, okay, he gave you maple buffalo bacon. He gave me Carolina reaper, mojo habanero, habanero buffalo sauce, ghost pepper buffalo sauce, and then okay, I guess he gave me sweet sriracha barbecue, but that seems like a cop out, so let's do this up. Reaper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, in my defense, usually when there's like a super hot and it's like a beef jerky thing. It's a joke? They don't really go that hard. Oh my god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were working with high bitrate 720 that looked better than the low bitrate 4K that YouTube serves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, I don't even care that my face is burning. This is fantastic. Oh man. Okay, so leading up to BlizzCon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dang, Blizzard, you messed up. Leading up to BlizzCon, uh, Nostalrius was like, oh yeaah. You better explain what the crap Nostalrius is for the people who don't care at all. So Nostalrius Begins was a private server for Classic WoW. I don't generally support private servers, I don't generally think they're a good idea, but in this case, the classic content in World of Warcraft is essentially gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the different expansions stuff screwed everything up, whatever. If people like that new content, that's great, but there are some people that want to play the older stuff as well. Maybe Classic, maybe Burning Crusade, maybe Wrath of the Lich King, but the older stuff. Uhm, so Nostalrius- Old people who are 26 might.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bring in classic WoW in a good solid form with no pay to win, no donations even, uhm, and just let people play the game the way it was supposed to be played back then. The way it was meant to be played in video for life! Yes! Uhm, which is great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Blizzard was like, cease and desist order. Boom. Get rekt. Yea, we have to go soon, we know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seasoned Justice Order, cut them down. They went and had meetings with Blizzard about Blizzard opening official servers and all this kind of stuff. It all looked like it was gonna be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, out of nowhere, Blizzard completely stops answering any form of email or any form of communication at all. BlizzCon comes up, and Nostalrius' only communication is like, we're trying. Here, we're gonna launch a shirt campaign. T-shirt campaign. We're not gonna keep any of the proceeds. People can just buy some cool t-shirts that say Nostalrius on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then with the last announcement on the t-shirt campaign, they were like, if you don't hear anything at BlizzCon from Blizzard, you will hear something around BlizzCon from us. And then little like, winky face. And that was it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They just left it at that. And then, in response to that, cause that blew up, uhm, blizzard


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Posted an official post on their own forums saying that there will be no communication about Classic WoW at BlizzCon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fast forward to Blizzcon after that massively long post and the giant fights that were back and forth on that thread. People are in the crowd, yelling for news about Classic WoW, trying to get stuff going, and they don't talk about it and they ignore it. I think there was maybe one official statement of them being like, no, guys, come on, we're not doing this. Anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, where's the official post? Cause I don't wanna get anything wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nostalrius came out and said that the source code of Nostalrius will be given to an existing legacy project, which we believe to be the most in line with our core values named Elysium. There's no donations, it's all run for free, blah blah blah blah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This server shares the volunteer spirit and passion for the game that we had. Furthermore, and an important part of Nostalrius Volunteers are already working there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're giving everything to Elysium WoW.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and if you had an old account, your old account will be able to come back, you'll be able to log into it, all your stuff will be there, guilds are still gonna be there, everything's gonna work, it's gonna take about a month, and what people are kind of assuming,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that considering these guys went and met with Blizzard in person, they don't want to be like, Hey, we're putting this back up. We're hosting it ourselves. So they're giving it to someone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going publicly at least, hands off, so that they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really want Blizzard to officially host their own damn thing. I don't want there to be a private server. I want to play on a real Blizzard classic server and I will stream it and I will suggest people come and play it and I'll host my own freaking guild and people can come play with me and I'll promote the awesome thing that Blizzard just did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is he going anywhere or is he just kind of hanging out and just not being here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, okay, so I feel like the benchmark results are probably, so AOTS is, uh, is it CPU-bound at all? I feel like it might be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's what Intel is currently using as well, so it's, it's been such a long time since 2011 since we got anything new from them in terms of architecture, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just, it just has fewer PCI lanes than some of the other ones do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was the same thing that we said in our review, I think, I think it's because it retails for like, what, 350, somewhere in that ballpark. It's a little higher, I think. But it's not ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they're not even comparable in terms of like, single threaded and all that, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rx480 is not designed, they're not targeting like the GTX 1080, they're targeting the middle of the market and it looks like they're going to be doing the same thing with Zen which makes a lot of sense. I think people...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are kind of tired of being quote-unquote trapped in, you know, Intel's ecosystem, because if you want like a modern CPU, they're kind of your only option. And in addition to paying like a sort of extra, you know, Intel tax, if you will, just like you were talking about, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd be bottlenecked by that, by the interface. Exactly. By the length of the board, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Native support just seems to play more nicely with things overall. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I, I know like on the upcoming uhm, the Kaby Lake from Intel that is going to have native, I think uhm, USB 3.1. Perhaps without needing like an add-in chip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that's what I was thinking. It might be both. No, I think you're right, actually. It was one or the other. It had three in it. I just remember that, but yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, the cheap way, the incredibly cheap response here would be, no one will ever need more than 64kb of ram, but, you make, I said it was a cheap response, you make a good point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, it's been a while since I've looked at this, but the gist of it is that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you were buying an SSD, usually what you'll see on the product page is it'll indicate whether the SSD is SLC, MLC, or TLC. And what that refers to is how many bits of data each little memory cell inside the NAND flash can hold. So an SLC drive can only hold


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And more sounds better as far as uhm, it just more obviously sounds better, but the capacity, but uhm, as far as capacity sounds better, but uhm, usually TLC drives, they tend to be uhm, a little bit slower performance wise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is a new QLC drive that holds 4 bits per cell. So we might be able to see some really, really good capacities with it. And indeed they're teasing their, this, this, I guess it's a prototype, but they're teasing it as being a hundred terabytes. There's not a whole lot that's been confirmed right now on this. It looks like it's all talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it looks like it would be a 3D SSD, so uhm, I guess the company that's most famous for this is Samsung, because they marketed their 3D, their 3D SSDs pretty heavily, where instead of having the chips all on one plane, they're actually stacked, like so, so it'll increase the data density.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so we're looking at a 3D SSD with, uhm, PCIe Gen 3 interface, so it's not SATA, it's PCI Express. Uhm, over a hundred terabytes of capacity, and, oh, hi Linus. Hey! Uhm, three gigabytes a second, uh, sequential read and one gigabyte per second, uhm, sequential write. Uhm, that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's, that's quite a bit more than, like Samsung has their 950, which is I think their, their highest-end thing right now that I can find, but uhm, 3 I think is almost a whole gig higher than that if my memory serves me correctly. It's really fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's a big deal, isn't it? Because uhm, more bits per cell usually means it's a bit slower, yeah? So. Yeah, but I mean. But this is, but because it's 3D and it's in VME, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I think uhm, it seems to be focused more on kind of like playing the copy paste game or moving huge files around because also you look at the random read and write which is measured in aisles. It's only 50,000 and 14,000 for read write respectively and it's extremely easy to find very affordable consumer level


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] SATA SSDs, I think SATA SSDs, yea, SATA SSDs have numbers way above that so it seems to be more suited for a media farm where you're moving around huge files where you get those sorts of like really good speeds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, couldn't you split your workload then? Like, like, let's say, just, just accesses to your webpage or things like validating a login. Couldn't, couldn't you do that with like something faster on the random and then just have these do nothing but, uhm, host videos?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you could, you could just like buy a bunch of these and array them together, but then that would get very expensive probably, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so like, uh, so a million gigabytes, yeaah, would be a petabyte? Yeaah. Yeaah, that actually, yeaah, you think of it as something like Netflix, so it seems like you would have to get a lot of these.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, what you just said to me. Oh, no no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm still a little bit surprised that games, that there are Windows App Store. No, sorry, not Windows App Store, just Windows Store exclusive games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this thing is basically on fire, but let's stick with it anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you- you can always tell when it's like, oh, you were staying up late at night last week just trying to think of this stuff and now you have your moment to use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't disagree with you, but I have seen it, uhm, in other countries as well, like, if I'm watching the, like, Premier League in English soccer, there could be a game put away by halftime, and then, you know, the announcer will go on in this golf-announcer-style drone for the second 45 minutes, and then when the final whistle goes, and there it is! And I'm just like, okay, like, so, your point is very well taken though, I understand what you're saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, so this is pretty nuts. So Maxmind is a company out of Waltham, Massachusetts. It's actually right across the river from where I lived when I was in law school. And they are a company that maps IP addresses to geographical areas. Now what they did is, uhm, they had one


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so, and basically what this is, what the geographic center of a country or anything else is, is suppose you had


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so what ended up happening is all this IP traffic was being mapped back to essentially their front yard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, there it is. So, all they know is, oh, you're somewhere in the United States, you get mapped to this random place in Kansas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prepare to say suicidal persons, FBI agents, federal marshals, IRS collectors, and other law enforcement officers have appeared on their doorsteps at all hours of the day and night, and even one random morning, a broken toilet was left in their driveway without explanation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to file something in federal court in the US, there's two requi- there- you can do it in one of two ways. One is if it involves a federal question or a federal law.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the other is if there's what's called diversity of citizenship, whereas the two parties, in this case the old couple and MaxMind are from two different states, and they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the amount in controversy is above $75,000. So that's why there's a sort of vague, in excess, we want in excess of 75 grand, like who knows how much the actual amount they'll get will be, but that is just sort of like a venue selection trick to get them into federal court, as opposed to state court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wish, I wish Luke were here because Luke is very good at Scandinavian currency. We were having a discussion about this yesterday. That's an interesting talent. Don't worry about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was inevitable when you have- when the desi- when whoever's idea this was first said, hey, why don't we try to make a self-driving car? But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, how do you measure something like this, whether or not this is a good or bad thing? Because, okay, I'll say this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, how much testing has been done versus death rate? Because people who just drive regular cars both kill themselves and other people all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, even though it's easy to say, oh, you can't trust these computers to drive cars, if their fatality rate is still much lower than, you know, some random person behind the wheel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] ...tend to be more afraid of flying than they are of driving, even though flying is statistically much safer, you have a feeling of not being in control and if something goes wrong, there's nothing you can do about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and you just like plummet for quite a while. I don't know what the terminal velocity of a human being is, but it's not that high. Yeah. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When these start becoming more mainstream, I feel like this is how we're going to make decisions on them. Like this is how governments are going to regulate them. This is the way that companies are going to be approaching safety. So it's ultimately going to affect like how people use them. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I just, I'm wondering with the whole, you know, the march of progress and all of that, like I'm wondering how much voices of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All it takes is one viral incident, and then suddenly the conversation changes, you know, at least a little bit, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and with, and with the incumbency advantage, it does become a career. I think, I don't know how it is in Canada, but like in the US House, incumbency success rate in the election is like over 90%, like most of these people were there for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our mass transit in North Carolina is a joke too, I'm not trying to take on that. It's just, it's bad, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when you don't, you just have kind of like that kind of itchy, runny nose feeling. Not very pleasant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a fan. But you know what I am a fan of?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And their requests to effectively invade Microsoft's users' privacy, and the Volo-copter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is the first certified manned multi-copter. More on this at 11.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now my understanding is the intro doesn't have music right now for some reason. Why? I'm not sure why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I saw an ad today that was You Should, like I saw a banner ad today that was You Should. Speaking of You Should, uhm, You Should be a Jacktastic mofo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is to say if you were the one who posted this original article from Tom's Hardware on the forum. What a segue. Microsoft says secret data requests are now the norm. Sues everyone in the country named Norman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A very unusual and unexpected response to such a thing. No, actually they sue the US government and if you can read, you already knew that because it says it right on my screen over there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so yeaah, so what do we got, what do we got for our notes here? Let me bring them up. So, Microsoft filed a lawsuit in federal court against the US government over its expanding use of gag orders for data requests, which effectively means that Microsoft sends a data request, but then also


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Often with no expiry date tells Microsoft that they are not allowed to inform the person whose personal information they are disclosing to the government that any request was made. Which is, which is ridiculous because, I mean, if the, if the police want to enter your home,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless they have a search warrant, they have to knock on the door and be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, are you in there? You can be like, yo, I'm not. And then they leave. And then they leave. In theory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless they do it illegally. Unless they do it illegally! Yeah. But, for some reason, this has been going on for years now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically, Microsoft believes that these orders violate the First Amendment, so the freedom of speech and of the press, by disallowing the company to talk to its customers, and they have requested that the Department of Justice immediately issue a new policy restricting the out-of-control gag orders from law enforcement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This isn't the first time that Microsoft has filed a lawsuit against the United States government to protect their customer privacy, but they have only done so when they considered the government's requests to be out of bounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're basically just a, a, a data collection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Service for the government, when dammit, that's their data to exploit! Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They need to sell ads. Yeaah. The FBI can't be selling ads. How are they gonna target us with the services and products?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. That's actually a really good idea though. I do want that. And the, and the base should just cost as much as a console. Sure. So there's literally no drawback for them. And you should like have to water cool it or something. That'd be, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the subject of Microsoft, this was posted by Trickstari on the forum. Original article here is from CNN Money. Trickstari, so it's probably, yep. Microsoft builds new AI bot designed specifically to ignore Hitler, because we all know what a disaster it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last time, uh, they released an AI bot on Twitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so this one is pretty different. Uhm, it's actually called... Damn it, I forget what it's called. Captionbot, that's right. So Captionbot... Which sounds way more boring. ...lets you upload an image.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Doesn't know what this is though, you know. It should just say cover of Time Magazine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, last time it said it was a man and a stuffed animal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, what else we got here? Okay, okay, so I picked up some thumbnails. I'm trying to figure out how good our thumbnails are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a picture of a car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, okay, this really feels like you should get this right, because it does literally say Apple Watch. Literally. Not a cell phone. Apple Watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, oh I see, I mean relative dimensions of the items on the screen and... Cause there's not that many aspect ratio phones. It could just be like Samsung in easy mode. Like grandpa mode. They know they have that, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, apparently Twitch Plays Pokemon is in the stream. Hi Twitch Plays Pokemon. Oh, it gave me a different answer last time, but this is good too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you, can you do this? What are you doing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I broke it. I officially broke Caption Bot. It's done. It's over. And it didn't even take Hitler pictures this time. It was, it was a picture that animated you and me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The HTC One Billion! Because numbers have no meaning anymore! First we had the one, then we had the one!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Followed by the one. And now we've got the ten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay though, but seriously, the 1, M7, M8, and M9 were the predecessors, so now we've done away with the M. We've done away with the 1!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're just the ten. So this was originally posted by Doc Swag on the forum. The original article here is from Anand Tech.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Posted by Monsieur Joshua Ho, who has a hands-on with the HTC 10, calling it a fresh start. Look at these pictures taken outside, so pretty. Good job, Joshua. Joshua's like a photo dork, so I suspect anything he did with respect to the exposure was done on purpose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And say it's the most amazing thing ever because he loves the director even if the- EVEN IF, EVEN IF, the premise


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, even if the entire movie was basically unwatchable for me, for the same reason that the Thomas Covenant series of books just gets to the point where it's like, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, he pulled through it. And then he became even closer to the brink of death.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What happened is relative. I was watching a great documentary on Curiosity Stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, where the guy who finds the holy lamps


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, when they're like, trapped in some city or some nonsense, and inspires the Christian Crusader army to fight back against the hordes of enemies outside the wall, who they did defeat, that definitely did happen, from accounts on both sides of the conflict.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Says he's gonna prove that the lance is real with a trial by ordeal, okay? He says he's gonna walk through a bonfire, and if he survives, then, you know, God says the lance is real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, trial by ordeal is a thing. Just like trial by combat. Like if you won, you were right. I wouldn't want to trial by combat against this guy. It wouldn't matter if I was right. Anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, he volunteers to do a trial by ordeal where he walks through a bonfire. There are eyewitness accounts!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That he walked through, completely unscathed, untouched by the flame, and lived.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are other eyewitness accounts that he was covered in burns and all the accounts agree he died shortly afterwards. You can't have it both ways!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he died from something completely unrelated. Is that, is that how it happened? So, basically anything that's word of mouth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm kinda looking at going, you know what, screw off, because that didn't happen. You weren't being carried on a board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To save your son, who is being


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In that, in that period of time. That is not a thing. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially wasn't a thing, with medicine being what it was there. So my suspension of disbelief only goes so far. You have to, you have to exist within whatever world it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not even a roast, that's just evil. Murder? Yeah. Let's just mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's get back, back on topic here, back to the HTC 10.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it is not an SSD or like NVMe SSD based storage solution. It is still using


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, whatever it's called, it's not in my notes, I was reading an article about eMMC, but it's like Gen, whatever, it's better, it's faster, up to 150 megabyte per second sequential writes, which sequentials doesn't necessarily tell us everything we need to know, but that is significantly faster than eMMC solutions from the past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, HTC claims that the storage is not going to significantly harm the, uh, the X's performance. It's got a 5.2 inch 1440p Super LCD 5 display. No AMOLED, which should allow them to skirt the issues of burn-in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But have to face head on the issues of increased power consumption, though they claim it is more power efficient than the Galaxy S7 with the same 3,000 mAh non-replaceable battery. It has a 12 megapixel rear-facing camera, which optical image stabilization- Good job, Colton! Stabilization! And-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like he's trying to create a crappy one, because honestly, I felt like he's letting the quality slip consistently over the last little while. Like, this is the worst one we've seen in at least a month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Features Qualcomm, Quick Charge 3.0, USB 3.1, over USB Type-C, which is pretty freaking cool, because if you pull pictures off of your phone manually, like I still do, just because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, it helps me keep organized. Uhm, then that's a really nice thing to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh. So, it does still have two speakers. One is a sort of highs and mids tuned front facing speaker that also acts as your handset speaker when you have the phone against your head. Hello! You know, talking to people like this. And the other one is a more bass tuned rear facing one. This reduces the bezel size, but they claim


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they have been able to retain the front-facing audio quality that HTC users have come to expect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I guess we'll find out. Uhm, yes, uh, in response to all of the bazillion of you asking in my Galaxy S7 review, which finally went live last night, I will be doing a review of the HTC 10. However, you will have to wait because I just wrapped up my iPhone SE video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I'm going to film probably Monday morning, so I'm switching to the LG G5, I'll have to use that for a couple of weeks, and then I will do the HTC 10. I know, it makes my phone videos much later than everyone else who is already posting, they're like, hands on, first impressions, unboxing, and then probably a couple days from now we'll have their reviews up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I like to think that the difference between my phone reviews and everyone else's is that while I do not pretty much touch on, like, performance numbers at all, there's a lot of things that I really don't do as well as anyone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I like to think that I try to capture the experience of using it for an extended period of time, which requires me to actually use it. So, there you have it. I will be switching to it with my daily driver once I'm done with the G5.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so we don't have an original poster from the forum on this one, but the Philippines data breach, uh, election hack thing, this was posted by James Temperton over at wire.co.uk, is, and I quote, freaking huge. It's from the UK, I would have thought it would be like, bloody massive. Yeah, that's more something I would say. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and like the- I like the hair too, he's got good hair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is kind of a big deal, uhm, if you participated in the election in the Philippines, then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, 15.8 million fingerprint records, uhm, which is like, this is, this is great. Security expert Troy Hunt told Wired, uhm, short of using a belt sander,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't change a fingerprint. And even that doesn't work, by the way. Uh, so... Losing a password. Big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Losing fingerprint data, huge deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In theory someone could potentially rebuild it, but it would be more difficult to use that information for identity fraud or anything else like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The leaked database was a mess apparently, file names suggesting hasty copy pasting of old versions, and the attack took place on March 27th, the group describing itself as Anonymous, which basically doesn't mean anything. I don't know a surprising number of people that think Anonymous is a group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, but no, like, like, like, I've talked to people who are, who think that anonymous, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has like a, you know, a leader. And like, and like everyone like knows each other and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aww, someone moved our Minecraft torch. I totally want it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's, that's a shame. Anyway, uhm, so we do have some more information about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not much, mind you. Uhm, it's a medal only competition. Any nation is welcome to field an E-team in the E-games. Four countries are confirmed so far as of last week or the week before, whenever this was actually in the doc, this is not a new article. Britain, Canada, Brazil, and the USA, and it is unknown exactly which games, uhm, will be featured. So, there you go!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing that offends me though about this headline? Offends me. Offends me, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is the physical Olympics the actual Olympics? Is this not an equally valid Olympics? I'm just kidding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, that's cool. I mean, I don't necessarily think that with all the issues there are around the structure of the Olympics that we actually, that eSports needs an equivalent to the Olympics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, especially at the pace that esports moves, I mean, can you imagine only having like a grand competition every four years? Yeaah. It would be completely different games being played, completely different sets of athletes, probably e-athletes, excuse me, sorry. Uhm, completely different sets, like, it wouldn't even...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you'd go from one where like everything is played on like controllers, to one where everyone has clued in and uses a keyboard and mouse, to one where everyone is using motion controllers and VR headsets, and that could realistically happen in eight years. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] China's crazy. I've been watching a lot of documentaries lately. I was watching one about China's economy and how it is basically made out of matchsticks and Tinder and flamethrowers. But it works. Not for long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way they're building right now is completely unprecedented in history. Like there's one city that I think is spending something like 60 billion pounds.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the problem, the problem with Canada is Canada's exportable resources is that they're the kind of thing that someone's more likely to conquer you for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's not that practical to like, ship water. Which isn't to say it isn't done. Like you said, the economics of water are very, very interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Uhm, speaking of things that sound boring and are interesting to him,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Paulie, oh, you know what, we'll use the BBC article here. Yes, yes, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, sorry, I will let you continue, but captions, whenever, you know you're on a mainstream site? When you read a caption like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gamers can play as mythical characters in World of Warcraft. Thank you, BBC. Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, it's game software piracy. Oh yeah. Yes, it infringes Blizzard's copyright. Definitely. Carry on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I soloed everything when I played WoW. I didn't want to talk to anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, I was one of those, like, jackass, like, mage, solo everything people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you get to max level? No, I didn't. Cause I, like, I had to go outside. Did you enjoy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you basically couldn't skip an area if you wanted to solo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, you didn't clarify that Nostralius was running Vanilla WoW, not the current WoW that he doesn't like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It sounds like the nerdiest yet like kinda coolest thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, fine, I will acknowledge it. People are telling us the stream is breaking periodically. We know. I already replied in the chat. We know. We are not dropping frames. We can't make a show about how...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Twitch's server is glitching out because I'm pretty sure it's on their side. They're asking me to fix it. There is nothing I can do because we are encoding frames. We are transmitting frames.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Uhm, alright, so let's, uh, actually we should probably do our sponsors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First up is Mastroff! So you can head over to draudup slash wan dash k7xx dash y. And the reason you might want to do that aforementioned thing is actually because they've got a drop running on a pretty good product right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The what now? The red edition. Yeah, it's the red edition of, uh, this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This product right here that I actually reviewed, very similar to the Sennheiser HD 600 in terms of the sound signature, uh, very comfortable, large, very large ear cups, um, kind of a hard foam, but it should mold to your head over time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, very open, very open design, really nice headphones, and they've got them over on Massdrop for a pretty wicked price. So all you gotta do is head over to drawdop.slash.wenn-k7xx-y. We really gotta clean up those vanity URLs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can check that out. Mastrop has all kinds of cool deals, whether it's on knives. I tell you, I lost my, uh... Really? Yeaah. What was it? Oh crap. Who was it? The black one. Yea, the, uhm, uh, uh, Kershaw. Yea, it was a Kershaw knife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's okay, I had flipped it like so many times that it kinda stuck a lot, so. You can, okay. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it was like, yeah, I, even oiling it didn't help. Like the spring were out. It's a spring assisted one. So, um, all right. We've also got Squarespace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you're not familiar with our talking points for Squarespace, You should. You should. Watch the Wans show more often!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's right. Squarespace allows you to build the website you wanna build. So whether- You should. Find yourself wanting to make a website about an art project that you completed or a- You should. Sports t-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or a sports team that you participate in, or some, oh I don't know, like, Etsy type craft products that you wanna sell online. Squarespace has got you covered. You can pick from any one of their beautiful templates and, oh no, I'm not gonna be able to say it while he's gone. And if- And you should-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Squarespace has 24-7 tech support. It starts at only $8 a month, and you get a free domain if you buy Squarespace for a year. You can start a trial with no credit card required, so go ahead and do it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Start building your website today, and if you use offer code Linus to get 10% off your first purchase, then, uh, you will save some money. Squarespace, build it beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are getting more and more awkward. Speaking of awkward, you know what's awkward?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not because people weren't willing to pay you, but because you forgot to send the bill. Were you that kid in high school who got a zero on your assignments because you completed it and never handed it in?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that often. Have you done it more than five times?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fresh Books is all about tracking the time spent, the materials required, the expenses incurred on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Projects for small business owners, so whether you run a dance studio, a plumbing operation, uh, you know, small office, IT, maintenance,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sort of business or, uh, uh, you know, you, uh, put out fires? Well, no, I think they're mostly city workers. I don't think they have to use FreshBooks, but if you are self-employed, FreshBooks lets you keep track of all that business-y, accounting-y nonsense that people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the, how did you hear about us section? The link will be in the video description, assuming, of course, that you're watching this on YouTube and not on Twitch TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could be banned in New Jersey under new rules being proposed by US officials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The number of people dying while walking according to this independent.co.uk article?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is swiftly increasing and thousands of people are being injured while walking with their phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it'd be really interesting to see if you could find articles from the 80s, proposing, like, banning-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But newspapers is good too, because you know what? If you can think of something, someone somewhere has probably tried to propose a law to ban it. So, anyway. Mr. Horace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That law already existed and makes perfect sense. It does actually. Yup, they definitely have 100% of a right to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so the, there's a bill pending in Hawaii that will fine someone 250 dollars if he or she crosses the street with an electronic device. No states have enacted a law specifically targeting distracted cyclists or pedestrians, but violators in New Jersey would apparently face fines of up to 50 US dollars


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, they run. Like a... rickshaw bike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The YoloCopter! Yeah. Because it has, I don't, 13 rotors or something stupid. I don't know how many it has.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not a hel- 18 propeller spinning rotors. 18 propeller spinning rotors. It holds a person and a joystick and not a whole- oh yea, and a massive battery and not a whole lot else and it is the world's first


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Much like your DJI phantom copter computer on a stick, uh, that you fly with a little, you know, a couple of sticks in your chest mounted neck hanging strappy thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Multi, multi-rotor or drone. Uhm, much like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bolo-copter, sorry, excuse me, the Yolo-copter is directed by increasing or decreasing the speed of its propellers rather than by altering the pitch. So, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually don't know if pitch is technically the correct term. So the aircraft, this is pitch, this is yaw, strafe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, but, okay, so, but basically, yeaah, so the, so unlike a helicopter, you don't actually move the spinning rotors, they just, the speed at which they are spinning changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the propeller system is designed to fold up and fit on a towable trailer for easy transport, and they're working on certification to produce the YoloCopter in large quantities.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pitch Yaw and Raffle. Love it. That's the kind of copter I want to ride in. Alright. Canadian Police. Of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, high level surveillance probe shows that Canada's federal policing agency has had a global encryption key for Blackberry since 2010. According to documents by the RCMP filed in court, law enforcement decrypted roughly 1 million pin-to-pin Blackberry messages in connection with the probe from 2010 to 2012.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Neither the RCMP nor Blackberry confirmed if this is true, but Crown prosecutors confirmed the federal police had access to the key.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's new rumors about the Nintendo NX, uh, this was posted by Master Disaster on the forum, the original article here is from Screen Rant. And to be clear, a lot of the rumors lately about the NX have been, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have been seeming to be coming from, like, some subreddit where people have been posting complete nonsense. But, this round of rumors is, according to John Castile,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More believable than some. So take it for what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soooo, do-do-do-do-do, the NX will apparently feature an x86 architecture. It will apparently back up data to Nintendo servers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually worse than the Super Nintendo. Which at least stored your data on the game. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It surprises me that no one ever created, you know, it probably existed at some point, but that no one ever mainstreamized semi-rewritable discs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you could have a game that had a mostly read-only media layer on the outside, but had just a very, very small rewriteable layer on the inside,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that would be, that would be a really cool way to handle it. I mean, obviously that's like, that's like a PS2 era, like technology proposal, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, it'll apparently have support for an additional screen, which is going to lead to uhm, companies like, say for example, Rocketfish, producing the most fabulous TV wall mounts the world has ever seen, I'm sure, if the configuration is expected to be anything like the DS's dual screen. I mean, can you imagine? Having two TVs on your wall? It's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, can handle ports of current gen games, I should certainly hope so. Uhm. Well it's x86. They are being such jerks about retro games. Uhm, and like. Everyone is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that's a completely different issue. I'm talking about how the latest 3DS is getting, I can't remember, it's either Game Boy Advance or Super Nintendo games, when like, you could literally, with an emulator, on like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Vanilla DS emulates NES games, and they're claiming the previous generation 3DS wasn't powerful enough. It's like, you know what? Lose the attitude, Nintendo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It almost makes me feel not bad about emulating their games. Which I've never done, of course. Of course you didn't. Of course I haven't. Never happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of which, I am kinda torn right now. I am not sure if I'm going to buy a CRT anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I was playing games on uhm, the 65 inch OLED TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was, like, Super Mario World is unplayable. Just completely unplayable. Like, the delay was ridiculous. I posted a video,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I recorded at 240 FPS, of like pressing a button, and then it's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, the pixel response time is good, but the processing delay on our TV is horrendous. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I was using a computer monitor, like a gaming-grade computer monitor, a predator monitor, and like, it was fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like LCD is good enough as long as you've got one with low input lag. So as much as like, and I had actually, I had, I was diehard ZS and ES for a long time just because I knew how to use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, yeaah, that's how SNES works, and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be clear, I do own a copy of Super Mario World. Just saying that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they probably don't. It's like, the, the letter is literally in the mail. Right now. So yeah, I'm, I'm kinda torn right now. I might just, I might just, cause the other thing too is like, I had kinda forgotten how small CRTs were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like there's a, there's actually a 40 incher for free on Craigslist, a 40 inch 4x3, apparently one of the best ones out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With all the research I've done over the last little bit, I may do a video like, so you want to buy, or you want to pick up a used CRT for retro gaming on Craigslist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like 300 pounds. My brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can, I can, I can link you the post. So the ones that I was looking at were closer to the like 32 inch to 34 inch range, but the thing to remember about that is that a 32 inch CRT is basically equivalent to like a 30 or 29 inch LCD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, so, so that's, that, that was the general rule for PC monitors. It may not be true for TVs, so, you know, please avoid correcting me, because I will do the research before I make the video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so anyway, I'm, yeaah, I'm kinda torn, cause like I wanna make like a little gaming room in the one side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh! Oh, this is a great upcoming video. Uhm, some people had asked me when I went and put all my computers in the closet next to my, uhm, next to the room in my house, like what I was gonna do for ventilation? Oh yeaah. That room got upgraded this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's a video coming, but there's one on the other side, so I kinda wanted to drywall that in, and like, put like a beanbag chair, like wire up some electrical outlets, cause it sits right above the breaker box down in my garage, and like, make like a cool little gaming nook. Uhm, but,

[Assistant] Maybe I'll just use an LCD. Yeaah. Maybe I'll just throw a gaming monitor in there. Because, right, SNES 9X coming back to, you know, being as SNES die hard but having issues with Windows 10. SNES 9X is like really good. And there's a lot of really cool filters that you can put on that make it look pretty good.

[Assistant] I have not, I actually haven't played around with PlayStation 1 emulation since EPSX-E and like BLEEM were... cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what BLEEM is, though? For serious. No. Okay, BLEEM, exclamation mark, uh, commercial, was a commercial PlayStation emulator? What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was released in three other versions called Bleancast to play popular PlayStation games Gran Turismo 2, Metal Gear Solid, and Tekken 3 on the Dreamcast.

[Assistant] Uhm, back to the Nintendo NX rumors, which we will make our way through eventually. In fact, we're almost at the end of the show here, it's already after 6. Uhm, according to Nintendo Life, a number of Wii U ports are in development. I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the new console will apparently be allegedly more powerful than the current PS4, uh, which I guess is good, cause you'll be able to play in full HD, uh, Wii U games, or something. No, cause they already run at 1080p, so I don't, I don't actually know. It's good. Yeah, it's not a bad thing, so cool. Uhm.

[Assistant] Uhm, continuing their, their trend of buying up companies like, oh I don't know, this is a good example, Ultimate Ears. To, uh, to own more audio brands. Very interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, apparently if they hit some, some growth projections and targets over the next couple of years, they can earn an additional 45 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Logitech does not expect the acquisition to impact its fiscal year 2017 guidance.

[Assistant] To be clear, I have bought a Vive, but that belongs to Linus Media Group. It's complicated. Like, you have bought a Rift. Uh, Vive. And a Vive. And a Rift. Yeaah. Yeaah. But Linus Media Group bought those, they actually don't belong to me. Like, people who...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't run their own businesses, might not know this, but like Linus Media Group is its own legal entity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeah, in the past month, the consumer versions have... been released?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, and a lot of people try to tweet me during WAN Show. Don't do that. Bad idea. Because I'm here. You can actually see that I'm not looking at my phone. Just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And someone's like, hey, can I ask you a question? Yeah, it's like- And I'm like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you had asked the question, you would have been able to ask me a question. Now the odds of me seeing your- cause the odds of me seeing the follow up. Very slim. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it makes it really, really difficult to use. Anyway, so there's a program called LibreVR slash review that allows Rift exclusives like Lucky's Tale and Oculus Dream Deck to play on the Vive. The code was posted to Reddit by user CrossVR. And it could be used to port other titles.

[Assistant] Pictures leaked of Nvidia's Pascal-based GP104 and 106 GPUs. This was originally posted on the forum by Mr. Underscore Troll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nvidia has hardware, if this rumor is to be believed, uhm, for their next generation, probably gaming GPUs, because while big Pascal, so GP100, has only surfaced as the Tesla P100, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A GTX 1080 and 1070 using the GP104 GPU with something like a 1060 likely to use the 106 if they stick with the naming conventions that they have been using for the last couple of generations. And this is something that kinda drives me crazy. If you're gonna be Cloak and Dagger, why don't you use code names that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, anyone who's been following you for more than, you know, 18 months won't understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if you're actually gonna keep, like they won't tell me anything. Cause obviously they have Pascal hardware if they have the Tesla. So, yo, hey, what's going on? They won't tell me anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they use code names that I understand, as soon as a rumor leaks somewhere, which it always does. I don't know, just make up your mind, that's all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so we've got some rumored specs. The GTX 1080 is rumored to have 8 billion transistors, so about equivalent to the 980 Ti, 2560 CUDA cores, 8 gigs of GDDR5 memory on a probably 256-bit bus, that's a question mark, but that's been a pattern for the last little while.
