[Assistant] It kind of is, but if you do want to get the game back, uhm, it might work in some form. If you want an original cartridge though, I don't think they've put one yet. The movie that Cinemascore is making with Angry Video Game Nerd is gonna be like a science fiction adventure based movie, so it's not really based around


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So kinda like ET. Will there be an alien? I'm sure there's gonna be an alien. I've seen parts of it, um, shoot me, but it really doesn't look that good. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. We'll see. Someone will, someone will attack me for that. Uhm, but, yeaah. That's honestly about it. It's interesting. I'm excited to see what comes of it. I'm excited for the first one to hit eBay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. That's, that's what I'm, and I'm excited to figure out what Atari decides to do about this. Because they probably still technically own that land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because like the Angry Video Game Nerd, his is science fiction adventure based things, so I'm not too worried about that. He's making a story about stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's that game rating system, have you heard of it before? No. You can ship in your unboxed game, I can't remember the name of it right now, but I'm sure someone in the chat will bring it up. You can ship in your new unboxed game, and they'll rate how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like any dense on the corners, any rips, anything like that. They'll put it in a shell casing and they'll stamp an official rating on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like if you get like a 95 rated NES game, you can sell it for incredible amounts of money. And it costs like a hundred bucks just to get the service done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like if you get a high rating ET that's from the dig, it's gonna be worth tons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Atari might be like, we technically own those. So nope, our money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or they could just say nope, they all go to us. I'm really interested to see what Atari does, or if they just do nothing. I guess we'll have to see. They might just do nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't be super surprised if they did nothing, to be completely honest. Oh well, we'll see I guess. Android Silver?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just call them all silver. They're, they're, it's gone. Don't worry about it. We're not using the word one, at least. We came up with something else. Imagine they did that. That would be three different Android phones that would be called one. Silver one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they at least had the next iteration be a silver 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's over 2. And like, from there on, I'd probably be okay with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sooo, toooo... And that conversation probably shouldn't have been leaked. My thing is, he's done way worse stuff in the past. And, and honestly...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like the fact that someone published a private recording. I don't like that. But then, from what I've read, he does seem like an extremely valued creator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tried to go to DuckDuckGo, and then I was like, this doesn't really work though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get a huge discount. With a lot of carriers, even if you say no to the phone, they make you log into a contract anyways. At least here in Canada. Yea. I don't know elsewhere, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, okay, yeah, yeah. Uhm, I'm in a weird spot because I'm done my contract, but just sitting, still paying the contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna buy one, because if I bought one, then I'm gonna probably buy an excess five. But then, why wouldn't I wait for one plus one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I don't even wanna show it. So this is Linus' old iPhone 4. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the one that I'm trying to move to. I'm just waiting for new plans. And they didn't even set up your new sim for you. You had to like, call, right? Yeah, because on the website, when I tried to set it up for myself, uhm, it was a locked off portal. It was like, you do not have permission to do this. I was like, why is the button even there? If it's, if I can't do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now people might watch this video though, because they're gonna be able to get that in a more formalized form and for even longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on. That was amazing timing. Yea my phone just started ringing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That does kind of make sense because I know a lot of people that get rid of phones that are still working and like trade-in level get rid of, like not even trying to sell it or anything like that. Because like, uh, what am I trying to think of right now? Samsung S3s?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause that's not solving, the store credit isn't solving the recycling problem. Which is, I think, the main reason why Linus is excited. Is the recycling problem. You're giving people these phones that would just end up land filled. Or... Yea, cause I don't know how much of a phone you can actually properly recycle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't expect it to be a ton of money, or maybe, I liked what you said about the, what will pay your first two months kind of idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like that's actually pretty cool. You can get a phone, you don't have to pay for it for a while, the phone is free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The amount of people that I've convinced that I play Counter-Strike in Valve Headquarters is amazing. Because I somehow get 5 ping when playing Counter-Strike. Right. So everyone's just like, oh my god, 5 ping! And I'm like, yea, I'm on LAN, I'm at Valve HQ, and they're like, woah, cool! I've convinced so many people, that's totally off topic, but I thought it was awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've had laptops before that, cause I'm wearing shorts right now, you're wearing jeans. So you might have survived, but like it's sitting on my bare knees. And if it was bad, I would not be comfortable right now and it's totally fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, one thing that I want to bring up really quickly, I don't have this as a topic because, one, I don't live in the states, and two, this is a very deep topic and I don't have time to fully research it, but FCC Chairman, whatever his name is, something Wheeler, people are trying to get him kicked out because he's doing a whole bunch of bullcrap and there's stuff going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you live in the states and you're interested in net neutrality and all that kind of stuff, maybe do some research on FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler. Someone just said it in the chat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that Barrington, one of the watchers of The Wann Show, and The After Party has apparently won one of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll know. We'll know that either of course they're shipping him a brick, or... What? Oh my god, that would be the best troll ever. If they shipped everyone like, membrane keyboards, and they were like, you can use these until the new one shows up. Just to trick everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is Sweden so progressive about everything? Because they're awesome. And they're from Scandinavia, and Scandinavia's awesome. Uhm, I'm in a dilemma. You can't, can't resist. I think the 12 Hertz thing is a troll from the New Age guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's gotta be, like, if you sign up for a new one that's not helping the recycling thing again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, next is the Heartbleed criminal data thing and then something, something, something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone's gonna be in the new movie! I just hope they don't screw it up. You know...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With all this stuff, see, this is why it scares me. With everything that I've seen so far, it looks awesome. With everything that I had seen at a certain point in time with Elder Scrolls Online, it looks awesome and now I won't touch it or even be within a vicinity of it because it's disgusting. In my personal opinion, if you like it, I'm sorry, but I don't like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like they do, they are lining up the right things. Like you said, they have the actors back. And so, as far as I've heard so far, uhm, Ford is like the main focus. Is he not? I don't know. Han Solo? I'm not sure. As far as I've heard, he's the main focus of the movie, which actually could be kind of good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but it could be a really good transition. Like they could introduce new characters with it or do something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because even if their voice is gonna sound a little bit older, it'll be easier to portray that on a younger character and have it be believable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you see what I mean. Yeah, no, I actually definitely agree with that. I like that idea. They've already done it once, so like, I don't think anyone's gonna protest too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we were both on the Star Wars bandwagon more than the Trek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think so. Which is like, that helps a lot. And the actors coming in helps a lot. And everything that I've gotten so far helps a lot. I'm just still trying to disengage as much as I can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't mind just like closures on certain parts. Like, like fan service, but like closure that makes sense, or flashback style stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't mind, especially when it's been this long, cause okay, I have to draw this in, sorry everyone. But Firefly, people have talked about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was awkward. People have talked about Firefly sequels and what could possibly happen if they brought in a season 2 and all that kind of stuff in the past. So I've seen some of this theorizing and you kinda need to either kill people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because people will have grown up and changed and their acting styles can change, how their mannerisms work can change and it won't feel the same. So, but if they moved them into like you had just said, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so Heartbleed has apparently been used to track down black hat hackers. Black hat hackers are like the ones that are maliciously trying to hurt people, like steal credit card data and all that kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grey hat is when they kind of float on both sides and white hat is when people are trying to hack but for the greater good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so they've been using this to access closed forums, uh, such as Dark Ode and Damage Lab. And according to Wired, smart devices such as home routers, CCTV cameras, baby monitors, and home management gadgets were now known to be vulnerable. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uuuh, I always feel such awkwardly on the fence with this kind of stuff. Cause it's like, I don't want you guys to use this to track people. But then you stopped bad people potentially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they're finding bad people! Which I wouldn't be surprised is why this article even came out in the first place. Because they're like, no, we're not terrible. So just... remember that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I could make terrible analogies, I'm not gonna bother of things that exist that you could use in bad ways, and that doesn't mean that government entities should be able to go around with the law to be able to use them and all that kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People were also wondering if it was intentional. I really don't know the details of the story very well. This was not a planned discussion, so sorry if I'm wrong, but apparently he took a very long, prolonged time to kill someone. So like, watched them suffer. So people were like, well maybe someone set it up so that he was suffering. Which like, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was one thing that I wanted to bring up actually, is you, you scalded it slightly for the hardware home button. Yes. Do you feel the same way about that one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's in my, well, not for this one, but it's in my default download program. It's for another one, a custom texting app.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my goodness. Uhm. That'd be epic. Wanna do the nod thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just want to talk about, uh, the creation that Ghost and I came up with, which we both think is vastly superior. Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's made out of a Raspberry Pi, a touchscreen, which he gives the name of inside the video, a 2500mAh LiPo battery, a GSM GPRS module, and the total cost is around $158. That being said, he just like, got it working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this is more of a like, look, this works, you can do this, not necessarily this is the best possible situation. There's also some issues, one of the reasons why it's not in a case is because without heat sinks on it, the thing gets really hot, and if it was actually in an enclosed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are cool. And it's actually pretty awesome. I thought this was super cool. I hope it goes further because we need to get away from the ultra attract-ness of everything right now because it's kind of horrible. And yea, that's about it for that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, where are we moving on to? Okay, so the nod. Nod, ah, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can, yeaah. We can show all the, that probably doesn't work that way in this, of the video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My biggest problem with this is actually that it's based around Bluetooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Bluetooth is just like the biggest thing that doesn't work very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my opinion, there's so many problems with it pairs, but they decide not to talk to each other, or it won't pair, or something else is paired to it, I know, but it's still kinda rough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I don't think you can switch between devices easily enough for a ring to be what I'm going to want to use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so not just mine, definitely Ghost is in this as well. We started arguing about the merits of this ring and we ended up coming up with the thing that we would rather it was. Right. So this actually totally worked out. So we would get rid of almost everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you get a message on your smartwatch and you just go, whoop, and you can reply that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why we're moving everything. Because it's supposed to be dirt cheap. And much, much, much smaller. Hopefully embeddable in an actual ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, why not. Uh, in the thread where this was posted by Top War Gamer, he said that I would be super interested because I'm interested in interacting with things in different ways, and he was totally right. And I do find this interesting. I just do not think this is the one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I'm not really interested in this one, but like imagine you took almost all those features out and just made it, made it work with your smartwatch in some sort of way. That's the only thing it has to pair with too, because I'm not really gonna want to use this for much else anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that's the only thing it has to pair to, so you're not gonna screw around with Bluetooth that much. When, when Bluetooth is only trying to do one thing, like if you're not repeatedly trying to pair it with a billion different things throughout your day, it's actually usually pretty okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you pair the ring and the smartwatch and just leave it, it's probably fine. And then if you came up with stuff like gesture controls for doing certain things, I think that could be cool because smartwatches are really interesting and I would like to be able to interact with them more, but when we're seeing stuff like the Google, what is it called? Is it Google Watch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't remember, but it's essentially Google Now, but it's the watch level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That kind of stuff is a lot of voice controlled interaction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which like, if you're in a meeting, you don't want to talk to your watch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Text message mom, yes that's fine. When you can just be like, oh it's up, spin, done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to the Starcraft Finals. It was being streamed in two places. The arena that it was in, and, uh, GOMTV, which is another one. When I was at GOMTV, there was four people there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they had live casters. Two of the most famous casters in the world live casting it. There's four people there. Right. Uhm, okay. Where the actual tournament actually was with the players, so you're gonna expect to see a lot more people there, that makes sense. There was a lot more people, but until the actual final round, there was a few MP chairs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the, there was, none of the standing room was taken up. The final round? Boom. Full. And then everyone disappeared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see that correlation. And like, the thing is, I'm sure, I'm sure it will be attended. I just, and like, there's been League of Legends ones where they're freaking huge. My only thing is, I don't know about-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just, they need to make it more, uhm, how do I even say it? I think one of the problems with the Korean one is it wasn't very accessible, so they need to make this very accessible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big games and big tournaments and stuff, I totally see them filling it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just don't know, I'm talking about like, big crazy stable center level...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, stadiums? I don't know if you can fill that up on like a weekly basis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I went to Korea to see the StarCraft. Okay, so there you go. Honestly, it works for me. I would want to go see this. I would go there every once in a while. If it was local, I'd love to go see games. I just, I worry about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this one will work. That's my vote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they, they did talk about it in the, in the sense, and they always have with Titan. Despite it not really being that, they have always marketed it on some level as a gamer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm, I even have a different point, but I do agree with you on that. Uhm, although I wouldn't be surprised if it did work. I just bet you that they're looking into triple slot coolers and stuff now because of results from 295x2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't be surprised there, because I do suspect it probably did work with the dual slot cooler. Uhm, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm surprised that like, I, I never liked them. Even when cases were huge, it made more sense to have a billion graphics cards. Now a lot of people are going to much smaller cases and smaller motherboards and smaller situations. So it even makes more sense now and it's still not catching on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fast. So people are gonna start running them at really high settings, games at those resolutions are, it's, it's not that impressive. Like barely over 60 FPS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're making a lot, but we should talk about GPU bomb cost if we're gonna talk about Google Glass bomb cost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, me too. And like with, with China getting behind League of Legends so heavily, I could totally see this. Cause League of Legends is gonna be a huge big deal. This arena and League of Legends are gonna have to come together. If that doesn't work, then I don't think the arena is gonna work. 100%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they have to work together. Or else it's just no big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's fairly, and that's an interesting, uh, point because it's fairly well documented that Oculus looks like a screen door and the Google Glass experience is really not that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's because they're both not what those companies want them to be yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you think about it, the mass manufacturing possibilities behind a consumer version are much higher than a development version. If you're only making a very small amount of something like Development Kit 1 wasn't a huge amount. So if you're only making that much, it could cost more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that doesn't sound fun at all. So I had to, I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I noticed you, you got back to the office later than you normally do. So I assumed something happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything's actually working, uh, I know Linus is not here, he's off doing...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something. If you saw my tweet, he actually did show up in the room, sat down, we filmed the intro for YouTube, and then he left again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, I tried, I almost had him here. Anyways, we just decided to just go, he's gonna be back, so he's coming at some point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, we've got cool topics for you. Obviously the Windows 10 conference happened, so we'll be talking about that a ton. It probably won't be as ridiculous as the Facebook bought Oculus thing, but we'll be talking about it quite a bit. The GTX 960 has officially launched as anyone who has a YouTube account is sure to have noticed that every single person ever released a GTX 960 video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, Nintendo has announced the end of Club Nintendo. But it's all not bad news, so we'll talk about that later as well. Get the good news out there. And the GTX 970 may not be able to utilize its 4GB of VRAM entirely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk about that later on as well. Roll the intro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Well Linda read the book and then she told you through the videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There could be like a saving money on razors and bathroom supplies for dummy school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you knew about Illumina- Illumirum. Wow, I can totally talk when I'm sick. Uh, you know the Illumirum concept, right? Where there's the TV screen and then the Illumirum projector, which would be behind you, essentially extends the TV screen to try and make it more immersive. Well, they actually kinda did it and it's called...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's a really ugly combination with people like, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember the name of it right now, but SteelSeries thing, the eye tracker. Toby. Toby. Well, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's different when it's sold by SteelSeries. Yeah, whatever. But it's the Tobii Eye Tracker. Yeah, but the, the, the, yeah. Anyways, whatever. That thing has some amounts of trouble with adoption. I think the main game that's really standing behind it is an indie game that they're probably paying to stand behind it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the problems with all these different things coming out, Oculus, Gear VR, every other VR solution ever, this thing, eye tracking, hand tracking stuff, is even something we're going to talk about later, uh, later, HoloLens, is you need developers to develop things for these things, and when it's $2500,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you need a PC to be set up in your living room. Not just a console. And you need a living room where you can have a projector behind the couch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like there's a lot of variables here and I don't see the install base being huge. And I think that being, it's probably going to be a problem for developers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, it's a cool idea, there's really no more, it's a loom-a-room, like it's, you can watch the videos, you can see that it can fold and go into a box and you can carry it around, hooray, but it's a loom-a-room, which is, which is cool, but yeah, I wouldn't spend 2500 on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he has learned certain things, like jumping on a goomba will definitely kill it. Uhm, and stuff like that. He's made decisions based on his learning. He's decided how to get through different levels and stuff. He's able to figure out very efficient ways to do things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it's pre-programmed logic arrays, which it is able to kind of add to a little bit, but like it knows the past that it should go down, and then it's just filling a database of information of results of actions essentially, which


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, of course, that's how things learn. Uhm, but it's just, it's, it's not crazy advanced. We not only have more advanced AI projects out there, but this has also been done before. I think it's just the most advanced AI Mario, because why?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I don't know. It's kinda cool. It's a fun project. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of just buying this thing that I could get off the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I don't know, not the end of the world, uh, there, if you are a Club Nintendo guy and you have a bunch of coins, read up more on it. They have tons of information on, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the last date to, uh, get coins from games is. When the last date to redeem things are. When the last date to buy things is. If, if they're not, they're gonna be adding more things to it. Cause I think, I think they're adding more physical items, like rapid fire, just before the end so you can dump all your coins. Uhm, so, but I'm not entirely sure about that. Go read up on it if you care, essentially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what the best thing is though? Have you read the text message conversation?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So good. Oh man, it was lovely. It's the text message coverage. Oh, you're looking for something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in that use case where like, you need to try to have a heterosexual relationship because of laws and blah blah blah blah blah, it should be like, yeah definitely, let's go. Instead it's like, what have you been working on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to imagine that considering how fake it feels,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you'd have to kind of know, so I feel like it would be more of an external thing, like I don't know how many, of course there's going to be some, of course there's probably going to be a lot, but I don't know how many


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're a girl and your family's like, Oh my goodness, why haven't you started a relationship? We want babies. Yeah. And be like, well, I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I didn't do that. Oh, okay. I know, I saw that written there somewhere, but that wasn't from me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've gotten, um, riled for a few things on like the Linus Tech Tips forum, but I'm not super worried about like a forum. Like a bank is more, if I'm ever talking about like login forum security and all this kind of stuff, I'm talking more about like a bank or your email, not your forum login.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeah, when like a bank has fixed security questions, or like, I've seen banks start implementing a, like a three stage thing. You put in your login name, it loads another page. You identify an image, it loads another page. You put in a password.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is, but it's still extremely low. Like my bank does it, and I checked while I was in Vegas, which is scary, but I did it in a fairly safe way, and it didn't challenge me with a picture change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually it's stacked though, it'll do a series of common passwords and then it'll do addiction anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's let me in. Oh, let me in. The Twitch chat is like, wow, dude, do you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of my favorite things is bringing up the social engineering aspect of hacking to people. Talking about how like leaving flash drives around and having people plug them into their computers and compromising their security that way. Or just talking to people. Right. Being like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was your mom's maiden name? And be like, oh well, funny story, it's blah blah blah. And it's like, okay, well now I can get into like, every account ever. Uhm, and... Mine's a trick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, yeaah, no that's actually not a bad idea at all. Actually-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, sorry, go ahead. That's awkward. Uhm, right, so yeah, I think it was Jimmy Fallon or some, some nighttime TV guy thing. Did like, uh, checking people's passwords in I think New York or wherever he's from. So they'd go on the street and be like, oh, what's your password?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people would be like, oh, I don't want to tell you. And they're like, they'd be like, oh, okay, well, like, what's it made up of? They'd be like, okay, well, it's like my mother's maiden name and then my birthday. They'd go like, oh, that's cool. You close to your mom and blah, blah, blah. Okay. What's your mother's maiden name? They'll tell them then. Oh yeah. And when were you born? And then they'll tell them. It's like, oh my God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I semi forgot about it, it's cause I'm sick and I had a shower but really needed to work on things so came out and didn't fully towel off and put on this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm done? Yeah, and like the big problem with this too is I didn't even think about the skiing thing. Honestly I was just thinking about a normal workout session. So a lot of people will do half an hour to an hour, but that means that you just took out...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a quarter of your entire phone's battery life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, I complain about what people are doing with uh, phone batteries, but I just don't think they can with watch batteries right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just reminding, I think a lot of people want to hear about the Windows 10 thing. So we should try to keep quiet and get to that. So the next thing we're doing is that moot is quitting 4chan. But yea, I put a big, I did, yea, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. Uhm, so he's quitting the controversial website after 12 years. Uh, so, yeah, well, 11.5 I guess I should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clarify. He said that the website's gone through a number of challenges throughout the years and kind of made it through a lot of them, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The biggest point of failure that they have right now is that there's one large, uncomfortable point of fail, eh, one uncomfortably large point of failure, which is him, moot. So he's kinda stepping down or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but not like anything really changes over there anyways, so no one will probably notice anyways, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. So there's that. He quit, and, uh, I don't think it matters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. I feel like if they had a good camera in there as well, that's all I'd really want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. You should see, oh man, I don't have my phone on me right now, but I took a picture today with my Moto X, and I was like, alright, I should probably get a new phone. If for no other reason, just the camera. It's so garbage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or should we do sponsors first, just to get it out of the way?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, everyone wants us to talk about 970 so people can stop screaming. Then do sponsors and then just Windows 10 it for basically the rest of the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone's waiting to hear back from NVIDIA. NVIDIA is investigating. They are investigating. They have officially responded and they are investigating. So I think we need to kind of hold tight and wait till we hear back from them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You still can't really expect people to do that on their own, cause there's possibilities of bricking and what not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That took me a second to kinda, oh that was good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's some pretty, there's some people getting pretty low level in terms of like what could be causing the issue, and there's some speculation on each side where, well, if these things are what's actually happening, then it could maybe be firmware fixed, or if these things are what's actually happening, it might have to be a hardware replacement of some sort, etc, etc. It's pretty interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, even if you did, I can't believe you would possibly think that no one would notice it, so I'm pretty sure they didn't notice it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My problem was more the fact that it's extremely short. I think it's like one line responding to one person's quote. And they're like, by the way, looking into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because legal standpoint and that kind of stuff is really weird because apologizing is always a negative thing no matter what in a legal standpoint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's the graph? Like, four Backblaze links in a row that just say backblaze.com. Like, what frickin' ones are these? Where do they go? Completely different websites even. One of them's a blog. God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More than one of them is the blog. Anyways. Sorry. Doc frustration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you study things intently, you tend to know a lot about certain things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought a lot of their presenters, uhm, I think probably practiced it too many times. So that they were like stuttering on things that should have just been fluid speech. Uhm, but I didn't mean good, okay, I didn't mean good as in the presenters were like very engaging people. I think the content was pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do also appreciate that they bring people on stage that are


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very in touch with what's going on. They could have just put hosts up there. That's true, and it would have been terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and like I would rather it be the guy that may not be super amazing at presenting, but did a lot of this stuff or led the teams that did a lot of this stuff and had, was deeply integrated with it the entire time. Like the guy that did the, uhm, Hologlass, which we'll get to that at some point. Uhm, he's been working on that project for like seven years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like maybe not the best presentation skills, but you can tell the whole time that he's on stage that he cares to a crazy degree. And I liked that. So maybe not the presentation skill was super high, but I knew that he cared and that actually made me care more about it. And I focused more on the device instead of just the presentation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can, to add to that, you can maximize it. Yep. There's a max, there's like a window maximize button where you can make it bigger if you want, which I kinda doubt anyone would really use, but it's there if you want it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we get into that, if we're gonna finish this container. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, go ahead, go ahead. Sure. Okay, so Windows 10 will be free for people that have Windows 7 plus. So Windows 7 or Windows 8. And it's free for a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By that they mean you have to activate within a year, uhm, and then it's free forever once you've moved to it. So it's, it's not that you, you, your license runs out in a year, it's that you, you need to move up within a year, essentially. Which is, I think, understandable, personally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of looking for a device to install it on because I want to try that out. Uh, we'll talk about that more later and they're going to have the install versions for phone, windows 10 for your phone fairly soon for those early adopter guys as well, which again, I don't remember the name of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing too is Microsoft has never really been that hardcore about needing to use their stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I wouldn't be surprised if maybe it launches with these things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopefully they're trying to make the availability of more integrated source. One thing you can tell definitely is that it isn't the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or at least it doesn't seem to be, I guess. You can tell definitely that it doesn't seem to be. Uhm, the like split team idea that Microsoft used to be. Yep. Everyone seems to kind of be coming together and working together now, which is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God, that should have happened a long time ago. Uhm, maybe more people would be voting for OneDrive right now if that had actually happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're moving in the right direction. Uh, anyways, there's a new rendering engine that they say is more for today's web wall. Uh, I just, your last one apparently wasn't that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually thought Dropbox would have more. Yea, I thought Google Drive would be right about there. Dropbox would have more and OneDrive would have less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, go ahead. I still use it more, just cause it happens to be there and it's free, but yea. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, one of the coolest things is that you can mark up the web quite easily. Now I know some people are gonna be like, well you could kinda like Snipping Tool and then write on it and it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and there's other kind of stuff for this already, but it's very well integrated. So if you have a pen or a touchscreen device in general, so you just want to use your finger, you can draw over websites and do whatever. Uh, if you have a keyboard, you can, uh, add in a commenting system, which looks really nice. It looks very similar to words commenting system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is actually really good. We use it a lot in, in, in office here. I guess in house actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very specifically works. Uhm, but, but like you can highlight things and comment them like very very good and it's collaborative to a certain degree. So by snapshotting it, you essentially take the website offline in the aspect that if there's an update to that website, your snapshot will not update.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But all the links and everything that are on there will continue to work and all that kind of stuff will still be fine. And I believe you'd be able to right click on an image and view its source and information, all that kind of stuff. Like it's just a snapshot of a webpage. And then you can share that to people and mark it up collaboratively, which is actually really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and all this support, hopefully someone doesn't just mark the whole page, um, but I'm sure there'll be stuff for that. Yeah. Um, and all this collaborative ability is built into the browser. So all the buttons for it and stuff are built into the browser. So it's very quick and easy to do, which is pretty cool. Um, that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so you can see later on, he draws a smiley face, which I guess he'll do in a second. I didn't realize this was actually playing. Uh, but like he circled it, drew this, does a smiley face. And in a little bit here, you'll see him actually share it with other people. Well, I think he, I don't know if he actually does, but he goes to do it. Uh, anyways, Cortana integration.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, exactly. So, she's not as, yeaah, does not function the same way as Cortana on the desktop, so we'll talk about that in a second. She's more of like a, a pre-done web crawler, which will try to assume the information that you want from a webpage for you. So, say you go to, the restaurant one is a very good application for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Directions, like you just said. Phone number and all that kind of stuff, which is usually quite easy to find on a, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there are definitely some restaurants where they might not even have the menu on the website.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like these kind of things are actually pretty cool and helpful. Uhm, not groundbreaking and not things that you wouldn't have been able to do on your own. Uhm, but helpful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That assumption thing he was bringing up is basically if it knows you're waiting for a flight


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From somewhere. If you're waiting for someone to come in and you start typing in that airline's website, it'll just be like, oh, well, that flight's coming in at this time. Is that what you're actually looking for? And then you don't really have to actually go to the website, which is nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually see myself using Cortana on desktop more than I see myself using Google now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely, like I'm just walking around my house, especially cause I have a snowball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like people that have mics that are not necessarily just headset mics, because, uh, especially ones that are like adaptive, like a snowball is. So if it doesn't hear anything for a little while, it'll try to reach out more. So if I'm in my kitchen, it might actually be able to pick me up. And if I'm like, hey Cortana, play music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll hear me from fairly far away, cause it's a snowball, and then actually be able to start playing music and stuff. That's really cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Google Now on my wrist can't control my speakers on my desktop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, uh, an office setup like we have is a fairly edge case scenario to be completely honest. A lot of people have cubicles and a lot of people are expected to be on the phone while they're in their cubicle a lot. So I think voice control while you're in an area where you're expected to be talking to no one else is totally fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, uh, voice control apps are trying to learn their user's voice. That's a constant thing that they're not very good at yet. I'm not saying... Oh, that wasn't even my concern at all. I'm not, yeah, yeah, I know, I'm going somewhere, give me a moment. Uhm, we're far from it being...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Super great, we all definitely know that. Uh, but it's trying to learn your voice. So if you were in even a very crowded, very loud area, if you talked at a fairly normal tone, it should be able to figure out that that was you talking and what you said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should be able to use it in cubical style environments. You should be able to use it in tons of different environments. Maybe it's not that thing where your dad's sitting in the same room as you and you're trying to talk to the TV. You should probably use a remote.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think the, the, the things that are hearing you, whatever you want to call them at this point in time, need to become more personable as well. Yes they do. For that to be a thing. And I think this might sound a little bit morbid, but the people that came before voice control was a big thing, kind of need to die off and go away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, again too, I think this is where, um, much further down the line. And I've honestly, I've always found the messaging


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. But then like, when he's, his thing was, uh, not you, the guy in the presentation, was that he was like, working on Excel on his monitor and he had too many Excel things open so he couldn't send an email. I'm just like, just, like, it's gonna be so much easier just to tab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, not really. I don't think that use case was very good. I think voice, honestly, I think voice is a crazy important medium. I think it's gonna be one of the most important ways that we interact with devices. Not now. I think it will be at some point in time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think right now it's definitely an edge case. I think at some point in time I don't think it'll be nearly as much of an edge case. And I think we'll almost be designing offices based around to it once we get to a certain degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's another thing that actually bugged me is that he didn't launch the Steam game through the Xbox gaming app. Launched it through Steam. He should have been able to click launch and it should have maybe even just popped up Steam and then loaded the game. Or something. But he left the Xbox gaming app and launched it through Steam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, people jumped all over that. Oh, we already have this, we'll-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that I'll be able to have some form of communication with buddies that I have that might be playing Xbox stuff. Honestly, I think that's pretty cool. I like cross platforms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyways, Twitch chat will let me know, but he was wearing a grunt thing, so the whole time I'm like, oh, Master Chief collection's coming to PC, and it didn't. And I was like, what? Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I thought this was cooler than pretty much anyone gave it credit for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People hammered on it like crazy. Uh, I think it's cool for the people now, okay. Basically no one watching this. But uhm, and now I agree with everyone saying that you should be able to use your Xbox as a streaming device from your PC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you should be able to stream from your PC down to your Xbox. That makes way more sense. It should go both ways. I completely agree, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Microsoft seems to be doing right now is this slow unity of everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And one thing that I really like about the Xbox gaming app, and one thing I really like about being able to Xbox stream in one direction,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that we might be able to pile on top of that more. And he made it very, very clear that the Game Developers Conference will have more information, additional information about stuff that they're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And more news for gamers. So there might be more stuff. So maybe streaming in both directions. Maybe more games are going to be in both platforms. Uh, maybe additional stuff like that. So I think it's cool that you can go in one way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guys that might want to be playing Xbox exclusives, and that might be the only reason why they have an Xbox, if mom and dad are on the TV, will now be able to play it on their gaming PC anyways. Uhm, and there are exclusives that are, that do look interesting. Yeah, that's a very frustrating but true fact. Uhm, so. So we still have to buy them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is still frustrating, and there, and there would be better ways to do this, but they're, they're, I'm talking steps here. They're making things better progressively, which is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The fact that I can install Linux on one computer and have everything work right out of the gate and install Windows on that same computer and have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of it broken right out of the gate is really weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, the adoption for Linux should not be as easy. I mean, it should not be easier than it is for Windows. That's just weird. I love Linux, but like, inherently, you shouldn't be easier to use than Windows. It's just odd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're designed to be that easier install base. Linux is designed to be the more like badass, we do it ourselves install base. And I'm not harking on Linux at all. I'm just saying Windows should be easier to install. It's just weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Windows Holographic, the thing that basically everyone is floating about. The entire internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, the audience of this one, and like watching them too, like something really cool would happen and you'd see everyone go, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like going to a Kinects game. Yeah, it was very, it was very odd. There was, no one was excited. And you'd have like the guy go up there and be like, do you guys want to see it? And like, that's the cheesiest thing ever when everyone knows it. But you gotta have a couple people. Throw them a bone. Not a single person stepped up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And again, that's the thing we were talking about earlier, the presentation thing. Like, not the most amazing presentation. But I appreciate it because of who he is, and you can tell how interested in it he is. Give the guy some freaking claps so he doesn't think he's doing a terrible job. Not the clap. Lots of claps. It's different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably true. Probably right. Uhm, the dark visor up in front, you'll notice there's kind of like, uh, lenses inside that look kind of like glasses, might actually be glasses, and then there's the kind of dark, somewhat see-through display on the front. That dark visor is a see-through display, that's where the actual images are showing up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's called the HoloLens, and it's still in development, but will be released in the Windows 10 time frame, so... Based on how quickly we saw Windows 8.1, yeah, it could be soon. Maybe pretty quick, not really sure. That being said, it will be in the hands of developers by Spring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, no idea when you're gonna be able to buy it, sometime in the Windows 10 time frame, but it'll be in the hands of developers like super soon. Spring is not that far away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so that's actually pretty cool. There's no external markers, there's no external cameras, there's no external wires plugging into anything, and there's no connection to anything needed at all. It's all inside, uh, the HoloLens. You don't have to be connected to a computer, none of that kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And has its own unique HPU or hologram processing unit inside. Now this is seen through, uh, the, the, the camera rig that you saw on the lady's shoulder, which is wearing, the camera rig is kind of wearing a HoloLens. So it's looking through the camera rig right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, how you interact with the device, as you're gonna be able to see here, the lit up part. You point with your face, and then you click with your finger. I don't think you actually point with your finger, you just click.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then there's uhm, da-da-da-da-da, I think there's one other, right, voice. So it's voice controlled, look controlled, and finger click controlled. Obviously I'm sure they can add functionality. Yeah, there'll be lots more options in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, one thing that bugs me about that control level right now is, especially in the demo, which is of course a, like, in the future demo, not this one, which actually looks really cool, but anyways, uhm, it shows them, you, you pick things up and you manipulate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that kind of stuff doesn't really work yet, because the only controls are look, click, and voice. Uhm, but they might be a thing. This does exist already, so this is the holo-maker, I believe it's called?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holostudio, there it is. This is called Holostudio. Uhm, so you have that kind of like toolkit on the right hand side. She's obviously created this thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, but it's pretty cool, and not even just the idea of being able to make something in Hollowmaker, like she just made this, um, quadricopter. Um, but you'd be able to view things. So you'd be able to view a 3D model. Say you wanted to buy something off of, uh, Squarespace? Not Squarespace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look around it and like see kinda how it works instead of just looking at a 2D screen which is really cool because you're buying a 3D object and then you'd be able to get it printed and sent to you. That's a very very cool way to view things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't think the HoloLens in this form will ever necessarily be this very early adopter thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the cool cinematic demos, they weren't wearing anything. Yeah. So how they're planning to do that, we don't know yet. No. But... Maybe it's contacts. Let's give them some time, hey? But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, it'll be quite a while, but this is a very cool start. And I think could be very cool for certain applications, like that thing I was talking about, viewing 3D things in real space. Because VR would be nice for viewing 3D models, but sometimes you want to see it on something. Furniture shopping. Oh man. Holy crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was one of the coolest things. Sorry, I gotta jump on that, actually. One of the coolest ways that this can be applied. In the, in the video, they show, uh, putting a, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fixing some plumbing. Yeah, I don't remember the name of it right now, but, and the person on the other end of the Skype call is seeing a flat 2D image of what you're able to see and can draw on that image.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, and in this video, it's very interesting. Oh, maybe not this video. Not sure. Uhm, in one of the videos, the guy that was in this video for a moment talks a lot longer about his experience. Uhm, oh no, not this guy. Just a guy that looks very similar. Anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he actually got to do some of these demos, which is one of the coolest things about HoloLens. And something that I didn't know until I watched this whole thing is that, like, this demo, they're doing it right now. This Mars demo is working right now. Obviously this is a render and it doesn't look that great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're able to walk around the Mars environment. And one thing that's pretty cool that they show here, very small, but they do show it here, is that he's able to take his mouse and take it off screen and onto the HoloLens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he can click and manipulate things that are in your HoloLens screen using his mouse and Windows 10 together. And then can walk into the HoloLens area and look at Mars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing that, and they were able to do that demo in real time now with reporters, uhm, and like The Verge went and did it. And then another demo that was working right now that's just really cool is the plumbing one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he, he swapped out a light switch. The guy told him where to put the wires and where to secure them and all that kind of stuff and he was able to swap out the light switch without ever doing it before with the help of someone who was in Spain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's super cool, like if you're not sure how to fix something, my dad, crazy handy person, if I was able to be like, hey, how do I do this? And he could just be like, pop your HoloLens on and let's, uh, he doesn't have to. He just has to have Skype. Um, I think that's super cool. It definitely has uses again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They claim their sample size is millions, but it's actually just one thing that pulled more than once on the same person. The actual install base I was reading in the comments across both types of devices was only like 1200 users or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold up, hold up. Some guy just messaged me. FlakyBanana says, That totally doesn't work. Talking about awareness to the issue. That is not safe. That does not save you in any situation and you're still totally screwed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yaaaay. I just want to, like, I'm not even trying to hammer on you specifically. I'm just, I want you to be aware before that becomes a problem for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we had a couple of complications before the show, but you guys aren't going to concern yourselves with that. So let's get a rousing chorus of, ah, they're late, in the Twitch chat, and we can all get it out of our system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're probably saying it right now, so it would be helpful if we actually looked at that. You're kinda cut off. If I kinda scooched over a little bit, would that help? I didn't really scooch, I just wanna sit closer to him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's actually a surprisingly jam-packed show, so it's unfortunate that we weren't able to get started on time. We had to replace the batteries and the microphone, uh, I realized right before the show, normally we leave everything all set up so that we can get things going pretty quickly, and then I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Microsoft and Google are scrapping over patch fixing policies and sort of, you know, airing dirty laundry in public about each other's bug reports. Uhm, the new Nintendo 3DS to not include a power adapter in North America.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm trying to make like a beautiful face, it's not going very well. Okay, go ahead. I'm done. Oh. That was it. GTA V Delayed, that's all you're gonna say about it? Yeah. Right! Because we're gonna save it for later on in the show. There you go. Boom intro!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And our sponsors today are Squarespace! Make an awesome website with Squarespace! Doesn't have to be square, it could be widescreen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At any rate, boom, here's the BBC article, I'll go ahead and screen share with you guys, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, there, there are some arguments on either side of this, or, really, okay, video games. See, I, I went and I used one of those words that mainstream media uses to, you know, make it seem less legitimate. What did you say? I called them video games. I should have called them e-sports, excuse me, very different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm being a little bit facetious right now. Just, just a touch, just a touch. Okay. So, so there are a couple, there are a couple good points that the, uh, that the WoW Creator brings up. I'm just gonna go ahead and switch back to my laptop here so I can look at what they were because I don't memorize all these things. So number one is that they're well positioned to be a spectator sport.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Given that you can fill, uh, you know, tens of thousands of spectator coliseum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The center of the universe, and I don't know if this is still true, and it was either 2008 or 2012, my facts are a little bit hazy here, but I believe it was the badminton men's singles gold medal match that was the most watched sporting event of that entire


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. But that's kind of it. It's like, yeah, there was that one they did at the Staples Center. That doesn't make it an Olympic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and then the other argument is I think the way you look at esports is as a very competitive skill set, and you're looking at these professional gamers with reflexes that are lightning quick and quick decision making, you know, upwards of 300 actions per minute, although the whole actions per minute metric is one of those ones that I think we've


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much stopped acknowledging at this point, I hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, you know, the comments is video games would first need to win a cultural battle, uh, over physical sports. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With all of that said, the IOC, the International Olympic Committee, has already kind of laid down the law as far as, you know, new events goes. They're only gonna have a fixed number of events, so that means that if you want to add something, you have to remove something else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as questionable as some of the things in the Olympics, I actually don't follow Summer Olympics as closely as I do Winter Olympics, but I mean, come on, figure skating and ice dancing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, really? And someone's gonna give me crap over this. In fact, I hope my new contact at Sony isn't watching right now because, uhm, yeaah, she's, uh, actually no, she's a figure skating judge, not an ice dance judge. My understanding is figure skaters, for the most part, look at ice dances kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, okay, I guess whether or not they win this battle is going to come down to whether they can find something less worthy to knock out and whether or not it's possible to win the battle of should, uh, should what is effectively, yes, there's a physical component, but, uh, yeah, you can't really even say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because chess, chess supporters have wanted chess to be in the Olympics for a long time, and I think if you were to look at the Olympics as sort of, you know, it's a traditional thing, it's all about the legacy of whatever it is, and esports being very new probably don't necessarily fall under that. Chess would, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chess has a long history, and if we're not gonna include that, then should we include eSports first?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean what that says, I mean, okay, something like throwing a javelin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, this is not a mind sport, but- Okay, I thought you were gonna be like, that's a mind sport, I was like, dude. No, something like hockey on the other hand, though, there is a huge mental component. So, yes, it's phys- there's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, there's a mental, okay, I shouldn't have said mental, I should have said mind. Because they're not, the connotation is slightly different. You don't use your mind to throw a javelin, but there's like a mental resilience under pressure component to any competition, whether it's a physical one or anything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, you used your mind to throw a javelin. We're not talking fricking telekinesis here. We're talking about you used your mind to tell the arm that it should probably go ahead and do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the other option is they're saying the OEMs are more than welcome to patches themselves. Which, I mean, if anyone here has ever bought


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, any, any, any handset manufacturer that makes their own skin on top of Android and basically supports it until the next flagship is out. Oh, what's that? Hold on. New one's out! Oh, bye! See ya! Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so pretty much, that's it. Uhm, you get, you get to buy a new device, or you get to, and I mean, I'm so sick of people saying, oh well, you should just root and run a different ROM, nobody does that. Like, someone does it, yes you do, that's fine, shhh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they probably wouldn't still be running Jelly Bean. And when you consider that there are new devices being sold today, now, running Jelly Bean, like this is a huge problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I understand Google's issue here where they have such diversity in the hardware that Android can be running on that they can't individually support every device. And ultimately it does fall on the handset makers to support the devices that they sell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cold hard truth is the handset makers, or device makers, aren't doing it, and if Google doesn't support these older devices, at least with something like, uh, with a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It gives more ammunition to people like me who praise Apple for supporting their older devices much, much better than handset makers on the Android side. I still use my iPhone for almost every day as an mp3 player and a video streamer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm, you know, if I'm in the bath or something and I don't want to risk dropping my actual phone, I'll grab it and I'll throw it there and it still runs everything I need it to do. My wife's Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. That was the equivalent flagship Android phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, aside from the micro USB connector, obviously dying because every single micro USB connector with, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, because they will all die eventually. It's a terrible, terrible connector. Aside from that dying on it, that thing was freaking useless by the end of its life. And that is a pattern that continues and comes right from Google on the Android side when Apple does not do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but that said, I'm not an Apple fanboy. In fact, my daily driver right now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's an Android phone! Woah, look at that! Well, you can't really tell, because that's a Twitter app, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The standby is excellent, but the actual in-use battery life is, is terrible. Like at, uh, at CES, I was using the iPhone 6 because, um, Phantom Glass doesn't have a cover for the Droid Turbo, so I wasn't able to use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but yeaah, so I was using the iPhone 6 every day. I was down to single digit battery at the end of the day, and one day it just died while I was out and about, I had to charge it. I'm kinda sitting here going, I can't even get through a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With this phone, this is ridiculous. Whereas the Droid Turbo is awesome, like, every single day, no matter what I do to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should get the uhm, ah crap, the Syncophone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know the Syncophone, right? I've... Yea, isn't this...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Okay, we have to play this. We have to play this. This is an Adult Swim thing. Who knows, I might get a copyright strike or whatever, I don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simply press no times for zero. Have you seen this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They and their Brazilian distributor, who is apparently still handling distribution for that area, just not in Brazil specifically, are, have both said, yeah, like, we're, we're still, we still have a relationship and we're, we're committed to reevaluating things as time goes on, but basically, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Due to the, and apparently there are other issues as well that they're not really getting into, but they're saying the distribution model in the country is unsustainable, and most of this is thanks to the extremely high import tariffs on anything that's manufactured outside of Brazil. Now, this is something that the Brazilian government did a number of years back,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, to, to, to, I guess incentivize, incentivize companies to make their own manufacturing facilities within Brazil. Because if you make something in Brazil, whether it's a car or a PlayStation 4, if you make something within the country, it's not subject to those tariffs. And I can understand why they might want to do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From a job creation perspective, uhm, I'm sorry?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also to encourage foreign investment into, you know, high technology manufacturing facilities within Brazil, but the reality of it is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brazil is just Brazil, and setting up new manufacturing in, you know, if every country started doing this, and you had to set up manufacturing in every single country, not only would it drive up the cost of that product within that country, it would drive it up everywhere, because it creates all this overhead for these companies. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I mean to put this in perspective, like people might be going, well, you know, there's import tax in the UK and in Canada and everywhere, but to put it in perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The $400 PlayStation 4, this is from the DigitalSpy.ca article, uh, was priced at $1,800 after import fees when it arrived in Brazil. And that's converted, that's not in Brazilian dollars or anything like that, that's just, that's a straight currency conversion. I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like, it's not like Brazil is Dubai, where you might expect the average resident to be able to afford to pay four plus times more than, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the point is, it's not like Brazil is an extraordinarily wealthy country where everyone is gonna be walking around with two grand to drop on a game console. And then, you know, over a hundred dollars per game. I mean, that's ridiculous. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this is from, uh, hexus.net. I'm just gonna go ahead and- I got it, I got it, I got it. You got it? Yep. Okay. SSDs? Yep. Yep. Ah, this is from hexus.net and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A report on the state of flash memory and disk storage has predicted that using SSDs will become more economical than hard drives for most purposes from 2016 onward. The prediction applies to almost all storage, but seems like the highest capacities will remain the forte of spinning disks for a little bit longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Wikibon followed up its 2009 report with another recently focusing on evolution of all flash array architectures. Ah, blipity blipity blipity blip. So this one right here shows four year cost per terabyte for capacity disks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Nan Flash. So they figure in 2016, so between 2015 and the beginning of 2016, we're gonna go from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flash costing, you know, uh, let's see, a scale of this here, so whatever, 40% more, all the way down to only about, wow, less than, less than half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you look at the difficulty that even Intel has had moving to 14 nanometer, although we haven't seen any indication that 10 nanometer is going to slip. But, uhm, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's actually a very good point, not something that I thought about, uhm, when it comes to, when it comes to mass storage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a good point, because I hate running hard drives on anything portable. Like, I thought iPods were insane when they had hard drives in them. Are you just hitting the bottle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, like I was one of those, I was one of those freaks that bought an RCA Lyra.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I paid way too much for my, for my lira, but, and it only had, I think, uh, I think I had one, and my girlfriend at the time had one. One of us had a 64 meg, and the other one had a 32 meg. So we're talking like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Clash storage, yay, throw it around and all that's good. And number two, is that at the time, I was using a Sony Discman anyway. So, when you're burning yourself a mix CD, that's only gonna be about, you know, 16 to 22 songs or, cause you didn't have MP3 CDs at the time, where you could just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Burn the files to it. So you were only gonna have about 20 songs on a disc anyway. So I was like, okay, well this thing is the equivalent of whatever mix CD that I would be burning for myself. And yea, it's a couple hundred bucks or whatever, but at least it's, at least it's pretty rugged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, oh, nope, okay, that was it. Okay. So, this one's by Ah Ming. Uh, new service allows you to rent your hard disk space. Uh, have you posted the article already? Yep. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Awesome, I'm gonna go ahead and pull up the MyCE.com article here, but it's called Storage, and it's spelled wrong because that's the hipster Web 2.0 thing to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, last year they raised about $215,000 in bitcoins, apparently. According to this article, that's uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot more money, but the way it's gonna work is it's a peer-to-peer network that allows you to allocate storage on your computer, so on your hard drive or SSD, whatever the case may be, and go, okay, yeah, I've got 300 gigs of storage I'm not using, and then it actually gives you that much storage space


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, think about it, like if you planned to use this service in the long term, you could go ahead and invest in a large rate array or something like that, you could rent out,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I mean, one way to look at it too is you're, it's more like storage shifting almost at a certain point. Because you could kinda go, yeah, I don't need all this space I have on my desktop computer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it actually distributes everything all over the place. So aside from encrypting them, you shouldn't act like one person's hard drive, aside from having an encrypted version of your data, shouldn't even have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The entire, the entire piece of data in many cases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's in theory secure. I'm not endorsing it's security. Let's be really clear about that. This is something I hadn't heard of up till now. And there is definitely, uhm, a grey zone here. So, each block


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Each block of data has a unique hash. It should be possible to add illegal content to a so-called gray list. And then it should be possible for users to allow or disallow gray list content to be stored on their hard drive. Because this creates a huge


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A huge liability concern, like what if I get raided because my hard drive has a bunch of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and it'll use your bandwidth, of course, because the way it works is it's kind of a, it's a mesh-based network, so in order to keep speeds high, you're actually pulling from multiple sources, and in this much the same way, uhm, like, just like, I just like torrenting. You would be, you would have multiple seeds, including yourself, uploading files to other people at the same time, so,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I definitely not, uhm, even though it might not even help because I don't know how they're flagging grey content. But I'm sure it's not rude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Used, read the file name. It's not very effec-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More Nintendo BS, uh, Nintendo is no longer including in the new DS XL, excuse me, 3DS XL. This time it's their fault.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like really guys? This time it's like super their fault. This was posted by Rohith Kumar SP. I'm gonna go ahead and pull this up on my computer here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's that rather than to raise the cost of the 3DS XL by charging consumers for a component they may already own, we are giving them the option to only buy it if they need an AC adapter and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is an interesting argument, and you could probably make that argument for something like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A smartphone that uses micro USB instead of a proprietary connector that they haven't even been using for that long. I mean, if you're a DS Lite owner, that's not gonna work. Sooooo, Nintendo!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's new MacBook Air rumors, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's conflicting reports, I was hearing for a while that they were gonna do away with the MagDot connector, their magnetic charging cable. I was hearing, uhm, so this is the most recent version.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's rumored that it will be so thin that it will not have room for a 3.5mm audio jack, which is absolutely ridiculous. Uhm, I cannot, I cannot


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine Apple being, I shouldn't say that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I truly hope Apple wouldn't be that stupid. Uhm, so stupid as to remove the three and a half inch connector. Maybe the justification is, you know, we're gonna have an awesome new Bluetooth Beats headphone or something like that, but that is ridiculous. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so there's other stuff, it will apparently have a retina screen, durr, uh, it's a 12 inch, it's gonna be super thin, it's allegedly gonna have a fanless design. So, so far it actually sounds very similar to the ZenBook UX305 that we checked out at CES.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so the new MacBook Air will apparently have a USB 3.1 interface rather than Thunderbolt. Which is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fascinating to me, because Apple's been the only one that really has glommed onto the Thunderbolt standard, and many Mac people are already invested into the Thunderbolt ecosystem. Now bear in mind, USB 3.1 at 10 gigabit per second is, and with up to a hundred watts of power output, is a very capable, capable connector. But uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's still a little weird. It's still pretty bizarre to me because-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and this picture shows, uh, shows an A connector and also shows what appears to be a Thunderbolt connector, but this might be an older one or something, like I'm not sure. The rumors are kind of all over the place right now, but one challenge right off the bat, although USB 3.1 should address this with display over USB being much easier, is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I was gonna say, set up with all the, you know, cables and everything that you need, but then Apple's never been ashamed of charging you $60 for a cable with your, with your MacBook anyway, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who knows what they're gonna do, but I know for sure that I wanna check out the UX, uh, 305, that Zenbook from ASUS, because that one looks outstanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really cool on laptop, really cool on notebook. Did you see the 12.5 inch ASUS, like super thin, uh, Z, uh, transformer book Qi T300 tablet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A yoga could, could win me over. I'm really disappointed that Dell kind of abandoned the, uh, the Ferris wheel design for their convertibles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because I mean the new XPS 13, we do have a review unit coming and I am gonna check it out. It does look, it does look pretty awesome. But I really, really wish it was a 2-in-1. Because even though I use the tablet functionality of this, only very rarely. It's still nice. It's nice to have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the hinge mechanism has been robust enough that it hasn't been a problem for me at all, and I don't mind the extra thickness in order to have that, so I would have liked to still have that opportunity. The other thing I'm really disappointed about, and I'm already planning to rip into Dell about for a good minute of the review, is that the top end skew has only 8 gigs of RAM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, really? It's like they, it's like they want me to only get a year out of my XPS 13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Similar to hybrid memory cube, which is something that Micron was working on and that Nvidia was backing and what had planned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But since Nvidia bet wrong, it looks like they're gonna be stuck with GDDR5 until 2016, when they are going to be apparently jumping on the HBM bandwagon as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And higher bandwidth is good, not only because it allows the GPU to transfer data extremely quickly from its video memory into its video memory,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But also because it simplifies the design of the chips and the PCBs, lowering the cost of the graphics card for the end user, in theory. Probably not. Probably they'll just take more margin on it, but you know how it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the long, in the very long term, it will drive costs down because if you don't have to have these massive 384-bit, 512-bit, uh, designs, that's a lot of pins on the bottom of the GPU, that's a lot of memory modules and that's a lot of traces, then it does lower the cost significantly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, sooo, there's that. Uh, oh, the rumored R9 380X will include it. That is supposed to be a 20 nanometer GPU and due sometime in the next...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that's pretty much it. It should be noted that our source for this is WCCF Tech.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I, I'm saying that at the end so everyone wouldn't just tune out immediately. And most of this stuff looks pretty credible and does align with stuff that we've heard already. And the fact that the source for some of this info at least was the LinkedIn pages of AMD employees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of which seems to have been made at least not public, because I couldn't see it, uhm, at this point. Uhm, looks like it could be pretty credible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not like it's been, it's not like HBM has been a secret. Hynix has been sampling it since late last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's been available. Uhm, I'm pretty excited to see what that brings. NVIDIA!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have maybe a performance competitive part, but perhaps not a cost competitive part, and they might have to give up some of those juicy margins they've been making for the last couple of years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, uh, Titan X, which is what the internet is kinda calling it now, uh, the fully enabled Maxwell that should power, um, you know, Tesla, Quadro, and then very high-end Titan-grade GPUs on the desktop, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but it's gonna be a really large die and therefore very expensive to produce since Nvidia is, had planned to skip 20 nanometer and instead go straight to 16 nanometer except that that's been delayed by TSMC due to difficulties and Samsung as well for that matter. Intel's the only one with working


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Totally not happening. Intel always reserves their best for themselves and apparently Apple. So that was rumored a couple of weeks ago I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could be an interesting year. AMD might, uh, might be able to fight back. I mean, FreeSync is a big one, cause I've been, I've been blowing that G-Sync trumpet for a long time. Not because I love Nvidia so huggy-muggy much, and I think they're just the cuddliest, most wonderfulest people ever, but because it's a legitimately...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Much better gaming experience. And if FreeSync delivers on what it promises, then we're gonna have FreeSync monitors coming into our...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else is there? Nvidia still has GeForce Experience, which I personally don't use, because I have no problem configuring my in-game settings. Uhm, their 3D is much better, but stereo 3D is basically dead in the water at this point. And then multi-monitor. And then multi-monitor, I'd say AMD is gonna have the edge there, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] FreeSync could be a huge win for them, especially if monitor availability is as good as they're saying with, I think it was 11 monitors, now, and then up to 20 by the end of the year. Wow, that's solid. And, uh, talking to ASUS, uhm, they were, uh, it's funny, talking to them at CES, they actually weren't sure if their monitor that they know works with FreeSync was even gonna work with it because,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Communication was kinda bleh all over the place. But now, it's come out that even though that monitor is not FreeSync certified,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is no mandatory certification process or anything like that, so if ASUS wants to have a FreeSync compatible monitor that's not certified, that's fine, and it'll work just fine. Interesting. Very cool. As long as the scalar technology and the firmware on the monitor both support the tech.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so too, and uhm, AMD I believe said that there's, okay, I can't remember what they said about the fee structure, so basically don't quote me on this. But it was something along the lines of they're not charging for like a badge on the box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way that Nvidia has in the past with certain technologies, or the way that, uh, you know, someone like MLG will charge BenQ to have like the MLG...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Certified gaming monitor or whatever else. But I believe there would be a cost associated with the certification process. Right. Just because those things do cost money, because they would likely be done by a third party, not by AMD at all. Which is better. Which is life. Yeah. Yeah.
