[Assistant] Windows 8.1 update 1 start menu. That's all you need to do. Anyways, it's, it has the more classic-y style start menu with this. It has an all apps thing, but I believe that's essentially the search button. Then on the right, it has Metro style buttons. I don't even know why I'm describing this when you're just going to pull it up. That's not it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so you can see it has a more classic style start menu on the left side, then it has more, uhm, I almost said Metro tiles. That makes so much more sense to me. Modern UI tiles on the right, which is actually totally fine because you can even see here there's a feed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I like that a lot. Cause you can have feed style, all I'm going to put in there really is feed style stuff. So that I can just like click there, figure out what's going on right now. And if I'm YouTube and stuff like that, I want to put all my feed style things in there just so I can, if I'm going for apps, I can see all these other things happening, which I think this is actually great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's why I'm super stoked about this because I think this is actually the direction they should have gone in the first place. I think they figured it out. This is so much better in my opinion than any of the ones that at least I have tried. Maybe there's one out there because I haven't tried anything on Windows 8.1 in a very long time because I'm just using Windows 7.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm more used to it and I like it. Uhm, but that's the direction I'm hoping for. So I'm excited for Windows 9. Because I hope they keep doing stuff like this. Or Windows, whatever it's gonna be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this tying in with like all of the other Microsoft news ties into the death of the strategy tax conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is where Microsoft had an internal thing where you couldn't do anything that was competitive with anything else in Microsoft's ecosystem within your own ecosystem. So if you were developing for some sort of platform, if you wanted to do something, if it conflicted with anything else, you couldn't do it. Which held back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's good. So like, if you were trying to release DirectX 12, it should be on new operating systems to drive people to adopt new operating systems, not Windows 7, because then you're not, you're actually creating a competing platform essentially, because you're making an older something better, which they're not trying to sell anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're now trying to sell Windows 8.1 and possibly Windows 9 in the future. So if they were like coming to Windows 8.1, that would drive their new goal, not Windows 7.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a good example. It is a pretty good example, but like that's, they're both examples of, it's not good for the users.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That might be good for sales numbers, maybe in the short term, but that's not good for the users. And it's really frustrating because you're like, well, I have Windows 7. I like Windows 7. I want to be able to use DirectX 12. Well, I have this browser. I like this browser. I want to be able to do basic word editing stuff in this browser. I don't want to have to use Word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. So in the long term, it makes things, everything bad instead of one or two things bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's actually a really interesting thing because everyone's talking about how they have to upgrade so much for stars and stuff. It won't be as big of a deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we're gonna be doing a bunch of different things. One of them is we're gonna have a build-off competition with Paul from, uh, New Egg. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moving on, I will also be covering tons of gaming content. I'll be releasing some stuff that's going on around the Intel booth, and I'm probably going to be focusing on stuff like the indie megabooth, uhm, because indie games are awesome. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, cause indie games are awesome, and there's gonna be 10 billion other publications that talk about all the AAA games that are there. So, we're just gonna cover indie games. And maybe a few other ones, but probably mainly just indie games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll also, uh, Brandon and I both got into the Star Citizen show on Thursday night. Uhm, although I don't know what the terms are for that because our team didn't get into the meeting with Chris Roberts, so we don't know if we like try to take a camera in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they're just gonna be like no, or if they're gonna let us film stuff there, like we have no idea, but we're gonna try and grill a film as much as we can while we're there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My biggest problem now, legitimately, is people will, like, a buddy of mine, I'm not gonna drop names, but a buddy of mine is starting a tax service. So you can do your taxes for you, what not what not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, a buddy of mine started doing a tax service thing and he's like, hey, can I get you to help me with my website? And I was like, sure, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then like, look into it, he's hosting on GoDaddy. I was like, oh, okay. Well, we can move your domain. Oh, oh, oh, no, you have a WordPress site. And you bought a year of hosting from GoDaddy. And like, I'm like, well, it looks pretty good. Can you use the template? And then like things just start breaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All over the place, and I'm just like, uh, uhm, I guess, I guess we can revisit this in a year. When your current subscription dies, then we'll move to Squarespace.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's such an obvious solution, it really is. Because, and like, it's easier for me, that's my thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause like it's so much easier for me to set up a Squarespace site than it is a WordPress site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, cause I'm not a designer. It worked when I was messing with it. It just, there was nothing on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But is it really driving stuff that much? Well, that's an iPad, not a phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That makes a lot of sense though. Cause then just more uploads are gonna come from a phone. Yeah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I know a lot of people that will buy these lenses. And you could charge a lot for them and they would still buy them. Yes. Because like it's just gonna be so much easier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other lenses! No, exactly. Yea. And even people that aren't necessarily getting really high-end, nice cameras, because maybe they can't afford the whole package, but take a lot of photos and enjoy taking their photos, could buy a lens for their phone, which isn't buying into a whole different ecosystem and probably a lot cheaper in the end, even if that one lens is really expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could definitely see quite a few people that I'm friends with, like the Instagram nuts, uh, getting this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think these are gonna be two different situations because there's two, there's two different arguments I can think of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, good point. We might definitely forget. So there's two, two slight problems with this already. One, he's not gonna be in like a CEO position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's, that's a big difference, especially when you're looking at a company, because if he's not running the company, his personal views probably wouldn't influence the company as strongly. So you've got that situation no matter, this is, these, these sides that I'm trying to bring in are completely


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not related to the opinion, it's just like differences in the situation. Uhm, and the other one is still ties into how publicly available that person is. If you become the CEO of Mozilla,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone knows who you are. Everyone's gonna look into who you are. Uh, it's like when the new guy took over Microsoft. There was a massive thing of everyone like- Tearing apart his entire history. Exactly. And that's gonna happen when you take over a company. That's not gonna happen when you become an employee of a company unless you're someone like Carmack who joins Oculus and then everyone's like, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, so there's just some differences to what we're looking at now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and that happens sometimes, but everyone was really good in this thread. So thank you everybody for having a very civil discussion. That was awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't, I don't know. I, I like the free speech angle. I think we should stay out of everyone's thing. And one thing that I couldn't find anywhere, but this was in support of Proposition 8, I guess. So wasn't that a long time ago?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So someone had to like dig back and find something that this guy did a long time ago and pressure him for it. Like that's, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd think that acquiring a new position, your actions would now be based on what you do now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so my point was, another thing that has to be taken into account here is that Mozilla is an extremely public company. They talk about everything they're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so that became an interesting, uh, that got fairly shot down because of way bigger parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mozilla's income is like from Google because of Google search being the default, not from donations. They don't make nearly as much on donations as a lot of people I think think they do. They make a lot more off of that Google search. Uhm, and like there's a lot going back and forth because of that. But when you're in a company like this, every single move you have is scrutinized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, he probably should have known that. But then again, he wasn't CEO then. So he probably didn't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if I back it 100%, but I back it a little bit because like in this position, you're now jeopardizing the entire company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I think that's one of the reasons why we can be so productive, is even if there's been certain things that we've done that I don't agree with, I think there's been certain things that we've done that everyone in the company hasn't agreed with on some level, uhm, but we always find good compromises.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then as a, as a company, your standing is probably going to have to be ignoring it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, they don't- oh, oh, I see what you mean by ignoring it, but then, uh, but then, uh, like it ties in because they're not ignoring it at that point. Like maybe the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I thought you meant more like the company ignoring it externally. Because I think as a company you need to kind of back off of these things because it's very personal opinion and your company is made up of a large group of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And speaking outward, unless that's the whole goal of your company, then that makes a lot more sense in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that it goes against the company's more like what people envision the company as. Not necessarily what the company has said they are, but what people envision the company as and what something like everyone views these big companies as people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll try this weekend. My problem is finding places that like, cause my parents have a crappy internet connection. Cause we're like borderline Farmville. Alright, so speaking-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Congratulations! Everything he's doing right now is when you're like walking up to the guy in a dining hall and you're hiding the knife and you're trying to like shake his hands so you can stab him in the ribs that go right so you can get to the heart. That's when he's- he's carefully walking to the person right now. Now he's gonna stab him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We should do a video when they first release. We should do like Linus kills type C. And have like a deep dark torture scene where you just kill a cable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be kinda awesome, probably. Cause you could make it like deep dark torture scene, but then also funny. So that it loses the edge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where are some of the other ones? It's a really long comment section. Look where your scroll bar is. That's why I couldn't find stuff very quickly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't get the people being like, uh, but cables are so much better. It's like, yeah, well you can use both. Like, ethernet is amazingly better than wireless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you like both of them because they both are better in different situations. Obviously that's not exactly the same because for wireless charging you have to put it on a block or whatever, but if you can just like toss your phone somewhere and have it charging immediately instead of fighting with a cable all the time, is that not a good thing? We have someone in the office that I don't think has plugged in his phone since he got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he just puts them all over the place, and then he's like, oh, click. Whatever, puts it, puts it wherever it turns out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and not even that, but in that kind of stuff it's a lot more personal opinion based stuff and we can give them information and then they can come up with their own opinion and that's how it should work anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna say like, I've never heard you say a religious comment on a show at any point in time ever. So how would someone come up with that? I don't talk about it at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that was added by me and then I did none of the notes because I didn't have any time. Wicked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's getting frustrating? I-I don't see this on the supportive list here, and as far as I know, there could have been an update or something, but as far as I know, it doesn't work on, uh, Chromecast either. But Twitch! Where's Twitch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they like, Twitch needs to push and get themselves on the radar. Do they? I want them to be on the radar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because right now, it's like, the only thing I really watch on my TV is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not as good though. Yea, I know. It's not like nearly as good. You need to be able to actually work with the Chromecast. Screen streaming is not nearly as strong as just pushing through the app.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, like, come on, I want this to work! Someone might be proving me wrong, maybe there's an update for Chromecast as of now. Twitch works with XBMC? Yeah, okay, that's not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Personally, the only one I really care about, this might even sound kinda bad, but the only one I really care about is Chromecast though, cause I'm not interested in really playing Android games on my TV, and if I am, I'm just gonna use my shield, uhm, because that makes sense, and the Chromecast is 35 bucks. Yeaah. It's so hard to compete with, it's 35 dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it's super cheap and you get free shipping from Amazon. So it's like, it's actually just 35 bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and like, but, and like that could change in number two or it can't and I'll just get used to it. I don't know, it's fine. And one thing that's, uh, that I'm not super sold on as well is a lot of games for Android. This is not on the game streaming front, but the Android gaming front are not designed to be able to control the controller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, but a lot of them, like, you have to tap on the screen really quickly. But I don't- You need the screen tapping ability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I found a few but like I ended up playing through one and I found myself holding the shield in the weirdest way possible because I had to hold the screen of the shield like a phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be able to, so I was like, this is really weird. That's really awkward. And I mean it worked, but it was like, okay, this is weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then... And it's a great device for that. But then that brings back the point that I was talking about, where I don't really understand or agree with the fact that it has all this Android, Android in it, and then all of the stuff that has to be in there, like the hardware to support Android. They could have made a way cheaper device that just supports Game Stream. But then... Who cares. It's now only 200 bucks a game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of situations, maybe not you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So maybe you don't need one, but I think there's a lot of situations where now personally I've never bought a game when it's up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I like, but I've never been interested in gaming laptops. That's not because I could replace it before. It's cause I just was, I hated that experience. It was just like, nope. Uh, but everyone that I know that would buy a gaming laptop or has bought a gaming laptop would still buy one because they're, a lot of the places that they're using it, they're not able to get that 5 megabit connection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe in certain city hubs and stuff like that you're able to get a lot of times, but I noticed a lot of school connections.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna throttle individual connections. They'll be just totally foobar. You're not gonna be able to get it when you're at school. A lot of the time you're not gonna be able to get it when you're at the coffee shop. Uhm, all these kind of things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know, and I've actually seen people have problems with that. Uhm, but it's, I find it easier to get a power connection than it is to get an internet connection. And like, say you're in a car and you're going on a road trip. This is not as common as the other...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scenarios I was giving you. But if you're chilling in the back of the car on a road trip, it is potential that you could trickle off of the car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No longer be problems. Right. Uhm, whether it's the, the school scenarios that I'm talking about where those connections are probably just gonna get faster as they have been and then that's not gonna matter. Or if it comes down to the, the car scenario that I talked about where Korea is already working on that, creating that insane mobile wireless standard, which will make it so you can be moving as fast as a bullet train and it won't even matter. So at one point in time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, hopefully not super long future, all of my holdbacks are not gonna matter. But as of right now, I can still see the merits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In your house, definitely. For sure. I definitely agree with that. And like honestly, you said, uhm, on the run, like even if you're gonna game and all that kind of stuff, and even in your house, uh, 2DS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure. Is there like 10 billion people? Apparently. It was probably a misclick, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was probably a misclick. He probably just tried to video call like everyone on his contacts. Cause that's a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, pigs have half an hour fun times, but I don't think they actually do it for like recreation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, someone just said dolphins can kill sharks. Maybe, but like, no one's like, oh no, there's a dolphin!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's, there's, yeah, I'm not gonna get into it, but there's, there's some stuff for that second one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This becomes a YouTube sensation immediately. Anyways, also BitTorrent is introducing some possible, if you want them to be there, paygates, which pay a lot more to the contributing artists than most other services.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what they could do to completely solve this problem? They should just have their RMA system like a lottery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it's an average warranty. Someone gets like a hundred year warranty and everyone else gets a couple hours and they just hope that that dude just throws the phone away after a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Ghost got really tired of me not instigating like an actual chatbot. So he was like, Imma just make my own. So he did. Good job, Ghost. You are the man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, the best part is that I'm not gonna go over like, all the different things that it does, but certain things that it does are drastically better than all the freebots out there, and are like, reasons why I've been holding off, because I'm like, aw, they just suck. Right. So, yeah, he solved those two. Cool!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry? Why does it have a cooldown? You can only do it once every 90 seconds. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, it's probably so if you spam the crap out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so all the credit card stuff is stored by Square or Snapchat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what, like, the guy, like, gets to the store, rings through the whole transaction, and then calls you, and is like, hey, it's this much. No, but they could come back and be like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's how I like referencing different chords. Enjoy that. It'd be like Google versus whoever. Uhm, I just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I don't think it's that big of a deal. I think it sounds a little bit scary, but I don't think it's actually going to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't find it, yeah. I don't know. And like, you search the exact name of a product and it will find you everything else it possibly can. And then you put that name in Google and the first result is the product page from that company. From the manufacturer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm. It was really stupid, but like. It was really stupid. But like basically everyone else is really stuff like that too. That has talked about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I have. It's surprisingly good. Yep. And I wouldn't be surprised if it worked something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're all named the same thing and they're all open so you automatically connect and then there's like a website and thing but it's really good at remembering your account like really really good. So every single time that it detects this open network your phone will connect to it and it signs in immediately and it's all fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you could use that computer as a monitor, right? No. Really? The iMac? There's no functionality for that at all?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so, so poorly. Not good. At all. And that was kind of, uh, almost like, sad, seeing you work on your Mac, knowing that it's 5K, and like, it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe the 449 one, it says it's like the full tower or whatever, I think it's just the add-on on the bottom, and the same case on top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but yeaah, they're pretty sick. I got to see them at, what was that, E3 I think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Communication skills. Yelling at people. Yelling at people is not a skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially if you're in like the college range where you're probably, if you're not done growing, you're getting close to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, and it's possible that the second one has actually been achieved already. It's possible that more have been achieved. There's a slight problem. Thank you. Sorry, I have to interject here for a little bit. Thank you Mr. Wizard. There's like no way that anything would be even remotely running right now if it wasn't for Mr. Wizard. Like, not even close. So I just want to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, or the wizard. The, the problem is the call that we're making to get the amount raised, dollar value, doesn't take into account, uh, money that is pending.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, we can't get the actual value, so we're currently hard-coding that. Just so you guys know, like overnight or something, if it doesn't move for a really long time, it's not, it's not because we're not counting your donations, it's because you gotta sleep a little bit, wake up, and then we'll manually update it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people were, people were wondering too about like, like sign stuff. That's even way worse because we'd have to give it, get it shipped over the border to us and then back over the border somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've stayed away from investment other than this crazy person investing everything, uhm, because it is a scary concept of other people having control over the company. So we're not really interested in that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I just, yeah. I have to give a shout out again to Mr. Wizard for being awesome. We were both up to ridiculous hours of the morning. Last morning? This morning? Last night, this morning. Anyways, uhm, he had like three hours of sleep before he went to work and I think he's at work right now. So, hi Mr. Wizard, you're probably not watching because you're probably busy working. Uhm, but, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, I can't say this enough, you're losing to freaking cod.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I can't imagine that reducing crowd size wouldn't help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be nice if they just had a slider where you could just control crowd size. So you're like, hey, done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because of piracy. Yes. That was the best. And like, no I know, of course not everyone can do something like that. I just thought that one was super good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think, I think it's cool having that little easter egg stuff. By the way, we just hit our, uh, wrap goal thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, I, oh, oh, this isn't necessarily something else, I just wanted to talk about the, the, uh, DRM stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, this is an Ubisoft thing. It's like a pretty much sure. Should I put the dirt back? Sure. Uhm, it's like pretty much everyone that uses DRM thing. You are saying that to say that DRM doesn't stop some pirates is wrong? That's false.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the only time I've heard of like, cracked multiplayer stuff, you play on your own private server. Which is usually kinda lame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's gonna be other stretch goals that you really don't necessarily want to do as well, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So games like Lord of the Fallen, FIFA 15, and unfortunately Dragon Age Inquisition are affected by this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's so old. Um, you know what's weird is I think that was probably more popular than the Badger Badger song, but I hear people reiterating Badger Badger more than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Up to around 30 gigabytes of data every 40 minutes in very small bits of code. That's insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if it's gonna be quite as big of a game, but it'll still be a very expansive. Like, it's gonna take a while. For sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's definitely some weight behind the speculation, but it's still a lot of speculation. Now things that aren't speculation is that two players from top 20 global pro teams have been VAC banned and I believe two teams have been dropped out of the Winter Dreamhack tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And their teams have kicked those two players out of their respective teams at this point in time. Uhm, so they're not trying to back them up or fight it, they got kicked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, theoretically. This is speculation. But again, it makes a ton of sense on a lot of people. This has been going around like through the great vine for a while now that this might have been happening. So the fact that this is now going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Validates that a little bit, but the idea is that they were getting this, uh, hack or cheat or whatever, exploit, whatever you want to call it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're, you're not just on LAN, you usually have an internet connection because they're usually streamed. Uhm, even at a LAN event where you're not using your own computer, they would sign into their own accounts because they want to show off their skins and stuff because it's CSGO. Uhm, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know Nick has been talking about like, um, Hellfire essentially, like if this, if this gets proven and if like certain members, not necessarily these two, but certain very prominent members, and he has very good reasoning for all of this, if they get brought out, cause there's, there's a list that the original guy that got banned posted, which was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so certain members on there, specifically the fanatic guys, two of the fanatic guys, if, if they got called out for actually doing this and they got VAC banned, it could cause some serious rifts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have always been a huge problem. Uh, even on console, there's hardware hacks you can do to controllers. Uh, try not allowing people to bring their controllers to events. No, they wanna use their scuff. They wanna use their whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's approved controllers for events and you can bring your own and you can hardware hack it. You take the thing apart, add in a little bit of, uh, the last one I saw was a PCB that you added in which made it so that you could just hold the trigger down and it would shoot a semi-automatic, uh, weapon as fast as it possibly could while keeping it fairly accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just hold the trigger down and it does it properly for you. That's cheating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Super cheating! And that's something you can do on a console. So there's, there's cheating and shooters cheating is huge and it's super frustrating. It's really annoying as a player just playing randomly because it happens a lot in lobbies. I know


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And think about the amount of people that are cheating that you're not catching because they're being very subtle about it, compared to that dude that's like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] flying around the map, insta-killing everyone, which happened the first day I tried to play CoD, which was hilarious. Uhm. His name was like 420blazityolo, and he killed everyone on the map instantly and was just flying around. I was like, wow. You are everything that's wrong with this game. It was fantastic, it happened on stream. Anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it's, it's bad. Uh, I don't know it's gonna, I don't know if it's necessarily gonna be the hellfire that a lot of people have been talking about where it's just gonna destroy the entire sport because it is actually really old. People have been playing CSGO for a really long, er, it's Counter-Strike competitively for a really long time, not necessarily CSGO.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is sick, that's super cool, I'm happy they're doing that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, that's true. I'm not saying it's not gonna be a big deal. I just don't think it's necessarily gonna destroy the entire thing. Uhm, I think it could seriously, uh, hamper the massive growth that they've had over the last little while. And it could seriously plateau them for a long time or make it go down a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the viewers I know are going to be like, what, when I bring this up, but I've, a long time ago I played Counter-Strike at a fairly high level, but I've never really been interested in watching Counter-Strike, uhm, and playing on public servers has always been kind of rough, because every single time that someone does something amazing, you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're probably cheating. Or that was the luckiest thing ever. And that's actually one of the reasons I'm gonna go on like an old Counter-Strike kinda binge here if you don't mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Old, old stuff. Uhm, if you were running and or jumping or doing something crazy with an AWP, there was like the really weird, really low percentage chance that you could shoot yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you tried to shoot while you're doing that, if you like jumped off of something and took a shot, it was a very low percentage chance, but you could damage yourself. So like, no one really did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, some guy will jump off a ledge, and like, aim up here with a pistol, and get a headshot over there, and be like, oh yeah, no man, no, no, it's just randomly shot over there. It's like, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the videos that they have of one of the guys that got banned, he shot way far away from someone and got a headshot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's actually pretty freaking awesome. I guess that's all there really is to say about it. Yeah, there's not a ton to really add, but I think it's awesome and I do really hope people start using it. I expect kinda smaller groups to start using it and hopefully


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was like one or two really big bands to just jump onto it cause that will popularize it and then it can grow from there because hopefully this becomes a big thing cause that would be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you, okay, you have a list of all your subs. I don't know if you have a list of all your followers. That's very different. Subs are paying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, again, like I said, I was working before the show, so I didn't get to see a lot of the docs. So when you first said this, I was like, yeah, not surprising, but it's cool to be able to see some, like, the specs and the time frame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's actually probably it. I, I love seeing error messages on public machines. I don't know why. Whenever you see like, I remember when I used to go to BCIT, they'd had these like tall, very tall like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'd be like if there's mountains on each side and you're looking in between them. Anyways, don't worry about it. Uhm, yeah, portrait mode monitors that would like show you a map of the school and stuff. And when they blue-screened it was hilarious. This is a giant, super tall portrait blue-screen. It's like, oh, thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god. The picture of it is like super goofball. And it looks super old too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there's a few other things, but I don't know if they're super important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 5-4, Linda, 5-4, Swamp, Coach, Linda, Coach, 5-4, Linda, Coach, 5-4, Land, Linda, 5-4, Land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So instead, if they're watching an archive, if they watch the archive on our site, they should be able to see the poll. The history of the poll. Grody. All of the history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're live now. As if it was never erased or cleaned? The whole history of the poll.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't like DRM. We're gonna do things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What else we got? We also have YouTube Tip Jar, so you'll be able to tip up to something, talk about that later, to YouTube creators while watching their videos. And Twitch and YouTube are both going to be playing at 60 FPS now. Wow. So apparently that does matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The best part is I'm a horrible beatboxer. I can't do anything. I have no abilities whatsoever. But if we actually had an actual beatboxer that could have been maybe cool? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, if you're in Firefox, you might not be able to see it automatically, so if you go download all HTML5 or some other HTML5 add-on which can switch YouTube to HTML5 by forcing it, uhm, then you'll be good to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I have a feeling within the next few years Google is going to try to basically eradicate everything except for Chrome. Because I honestly think a lot of the issues that are coming in are based around Google just being like, nope, nope, nope, we're doing all of this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. But if the flash thing's your problem, just download the HTML5 add-on and you're good to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know, I'm having troubles defending Firefox lately. I hope they pick it up because, I don't know, I feel a lot more safer on Firefox than I do on Chrome. Yeah, well, there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So every single video will just say butts butts butts butts butts on the bottom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first thing I thought of when I read that was like, okay, every single video that's gonna attract like a certain crowd is just gonna have like, butts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That makes sense though, and if they're not doing that now, they probably should. And they'll probably think of that or figure that out at some point in time. Maybe pay us 10%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I find a lot of the news that just happened, uhm, in this one segment are all like, PewDiePie!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's YouTube 60FPS and TipJar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my god, it's, it's, it's the, the comment system as a whole is ridiculous. I watched a video the other day that was uploaded that day. This was like a day or two ago, but for some reason it had the old comment system. Yeah. And it was so refreshing. It's so much better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So where you are right now, that position that you're like very deeply rooted in, you don't wanna be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My sister, like, just came out and it's already 25% off on Steam sale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, like, especially with how Steam works nowadays. We were talking about the Steam sale, uh, last time on the show, about how it's just like, yeaah, all this stuff has pretty much-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean. It already has a pretty scary effectiveness. 99% is not that good. That's true. That's still 1 out of 100 times. Which is still horrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I, I found it interesting that the main thing that he was saying was, uh, services and benefits that they want to add onto games. If you've been noticing something they've been doing for a long time now is these, these multiplayer aspects that they've been adding to games. I don't know how many times you've talked to someone about that super awesome, enthralling Assassin's Creed multiplayer that you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the awesome strapped-on, stapled-together multiplayer that's in Watch Dogs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they need to, they're, they're talking about this quality of the game and quality services and benefits, but a lot of their quality services and benefits don't really seem thought out. It seems like they built the entire game and then we're like, oh yeah, we need these things that pirates don't get. So we're going to make this weird, really, really bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ship minigame in Assassin's Creed that this is the only way you can get certain items and then we're gonna put it in your ship and everyone's gonna hate it, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I don't- Make good ones. Make interesting ways to work with your friends. And I know they're working on it, like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity have these co-op things where someone can enter your game and then help you do like an open world thing but they can't help you with storyline missions and stuff and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really, that seems weird again, so I don't know. Maybe work on that a little bit, and then people might care. But for now, they're probably just gonna pirate your game. I won't, but they probably will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think it's funny that they brought, they're bringing all this to light right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because then everyone's going, oh yeaah, you can just pirate all your stuff. Did you see how many comments there were about that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're like, oh yeaah, I was waiting for Watch Dogs, and now I'm just gonna pirate it. It's like, wow, why did you- wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They need to shut up, put their heads down and work on stuff and make really good releases for Assassin's Creed and Far Cry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unity. Yeah, okay. French Revolution. Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That could be good. It could. Who knows? Hopefully they don't make the PC version look exactly the same as the console version.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope Asus wants to do laptop integrations again with the new one. No. Because it ends with JK.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it? Skins a lot though, skins user experience. What do you complain about a lot with phones?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like my Chromecasts. I see no real reason to change from my Chromecasts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is one of the really big problems with Android gaming is they're like, here's a new platform that you can take these games, which are not made for this platform and play them on. And it's like, no, I don't want to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My dad and I went through and beat that campaign on every possible difficulty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Portal 2 for like the not as good as the single player co-op that it has?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot better. A lot better. Smart TVs are dumb. And they're just terrible. They suck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is why peop- m- more than one person asked me on Twitter if I would recommend getting a G3 because of how much I liked the G2. This was before I even saw the G3 so it wasn't really fair. But either way I said no. Because of the TV thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's your phone and there's gonna be way more personal stuff on your phone than your TV and they're being really ultra creepy about it. Yeah. So, I don't know man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My awesome beatboxing? That wasn't beatboxing even. Is it just like making noises? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I saw a beatboxing guy who was like doing other Grana stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing I'm interested in is how much SteamOS might slow down Windows piracy. Might.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh actually, I do s- nevermind, I do use LibreOffice and yes, I still do use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And a lot of times, especially in the technology space, you might buy something and then three years later, you have to buy something else and then even if you did buy within the same ecosystem, they're probably not gonna work together anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't quite done building my website because of E3 stuff and everything that came up when my trial ran up, and I felt so bad. Cause they like send you these emails, they're like, what could we have done better? And I'm like, nothing, you were fine. It was me, I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dendy is not ugly. I don't know why that person even said that he was, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can have a custom case for it so that the connector is like made into the case so that it's waterproof and stuff, but if there's some way to do that, even if it's not waterproof, someone tell me because that's way too cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told you, I went to the washroom and looked in the mirror when we got to that restaurant, and was just like, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can have like Linus and then make the other one like that weird inverted color thing so it's like Linus and Hulk Linus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like, uh, I know Transistor isn't really the longest game ever, but it ends when it should end. Like, I feel like they, if they added things to it and they made it longer, it would have just been wasted time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the plane back, when I was intending to play it, I was just like, ka-tunk. No way that was happening. I passed out so hard on the plane back from Highlander. Me too. You and me passed out on the floor, in the airport. Yeaah, that's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other than that though, the movements, you can still tell. That one, I think the other girl looks more realistic in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is where everyone is using the automated terminals. Yep. And I noticed one of the big things that we got flack for on the show, not flack, but one of the big things that became a conversation when we've talked about automation on the show before is people have brought up that people need human interaction. And I see that being disproven everywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The amount of times that I see people voluntarily go through the self automated checkout instead of the person driven checkout at stores is getting more and more and more. And then now at airports, it almost becomes frustrating to have to deal with people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of annoying because it's like, ah, I have to deal with this person who's probably going to be a jerk when I could have maybe just gotten through the terminal with no problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. They can make them better though, but that's, that's, that's, I don't know about that whole required human interaction argument. Flip side. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this project was originally thought of by French Googlers David Cause and Damian Henry in part of their 20% thing, which I thought was gone, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is apparently still here, so that's cool. So the 20% thing is where 20% of your time at Google has to be spent doing kind of your own independent projects. And then, uh, people thought this thing was so freaking cool that they jumped on and made SDKs for it and it actually became a much bigger deal. Is this screen sharing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you basically, you saw it, if you click it again, I think it goes back together. If you scroll up more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we go. You manually scroll it, it goes slower. So you can see this is the package that people got at Google I.O. You can't just buy this, I don't think. So if you went to Google I.O. you got this package. So you pull the tab thing, and then it folds out all nicely. But you can make this on your own, uh, if you have a laser cutter, they actually have the file that you need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a magnet on the side, which I actually wanted you to scroll to it, not look at me. But either way, there's a magnet on the side, which looks like it doesn't really have a use. But if you're looking at something and you want to select it, you just pull the magnet down, which is actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really smart and it apparently works really well from the videos that I've seen, which is really cool. Uhm, they haven't tried it on a ton of phones yet. Fully compatible phones are Google Nexus 4 and 5, Motorola Moto X, Samsung Galaxy S4 and 5, and Samsung Galaxy Nexus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Partially compatible phones are HTC One, Motorola Moto G and Samsung Galaxy S3. That's really not a ton of phones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it is a custom YouTube app, like if you're watching the video and you look over to the right, there will be other video selections and you can use that thing on the side to select those videos. It's fairly interesting, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's not trying to though. Some things that will be really interesting is stuff like Street View. Stuff like Google Earth. Uhm, the Versailles Local Guide. Windy Day. Windy Day will be really cool. I've used Windy Day on Moto X. I don't know if you have. It's actually kind of fun even with just the Moto X. Being able to do it with a cardboard thing would be kind of awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's actually, it's pretty cool. It's pretty neat. Yeah. I'm definitely going to make one. I don't have access to a laser cutter, so I'm probably going to try to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get a really sharp knife and do the best that I can. I'm not gonna pizza box it. I'm actually gonna try and source like proper materials.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'll see how I can do there. If you are interested in making one, definitely go to Google's website, which I believe is developers.google.com slash cardboard because they actually have sourced everything for you already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very possibly out of stock because a whole bunch of people have been buying them. And if you look at one of them and then look at the, um, items frequently bought together, they're all the other ones. So they're pretty easy to find. Um, but yeah, they also help you source it locally. So they'll be like, here's an Amazon or other website link to this product.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And also here's all of its specs. If you want to try and find it somewhere else that you can buy it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually quite like it. Well, you said it was your favourite one. It was my favourite one. I didn't think you hated it. Just, like, personally, I don't like reading things until I want to read them. I end up marking things unread a lot, because I'll accidentally click on something and just be like, damn it, I need to read this later, I'm not ready for this right now. So I don't mind it kind of hiding in there for now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember the zero voltage thing that happened? No, what is this? That, that certain, that certain board that reports voltage of your CPU and it was like zero volts. Oh yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My favorite thing is either, either they jump around and they just sit there like solid bricks or they jump around and then they go like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, how did you want the boobs to move again? I didn't say I wanted them to move this way, I said with bad boob physics they do move this way. So either they jump around and they just sit there, which is not realistic, or they jump around and then like a while afterwards it's like, oh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not how they work either. We've seen that in quite a few games and it gets super stupid after a while. Or like there'll be a slight movement, like they'll just slightly get bumped and it's like, oh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm down for more realistic gameplay. So if they make that realistic, that's cool. I think it should be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we didn't talk about Highlander at all, but I guess we have all the videos coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we had the yoga at the NCIX office, I liked it a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, yeah, like I, the reason why I like how the 2DS is made is it's super easy to get the pen because that's where they put the colored strap along the back. It's not even a strap, like the colored piece of plastic is where the pen goes. It's super easy to grab it, super easy to put it back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well there's, there's, there's, there's methodology now. You don't want to answer there, you want to answer someone else. So where else?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am doing Afterparty tonight, and I am doing my 24 hour charity stream that I talked about this weekend. I don't know exactly when it'll start, but it's happening. You're crazy. Child's play man, child's play's cool. Alright, peace out guys! Bye everyone!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, that's not percussion. Yeah, that's not really beatboxing either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to the WAN Show, guys. You know what's funny, because I actually received a complaint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From one of our sponsors earlier this week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, where, well, well, it's not so much that I received a complaint as they received a complaint. It was a major sponsor of ours. So one of our, one of our long-term relationships that we've had for a long time, that's how long-term relationships work, they last a long time. I mean, unless it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, there's no good place this can go. So it's a long-term sponsor and what happened was they actually received a complaint about the obscene content of a Friday stream that was sponsored by said sponsor. So I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm like, oh man, I'm not always the most politically correct guy in the world. I think we can all, we can all agree on this. Uh, Slenderman definitely knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I'm not always the most appropriate boss, you know, when it comes to touching and words that I say. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, okay, well it must have been something particularly horrible if someone's complaining about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, upon getting further clarification, it was actually one of the participants in the chat of your show that said something obscene. And I was just kinda sitting there going, I was like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? The obscene content of my show is someone in Twitch chat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that, that was where my upset ended. That was where my stress ended. Hashtag make bombs. Thank you for whoever's in the Twitch chat doing that, speaking of Twitch chat being inappropriate. Uhm, so, so I was just, they were like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well, you know, do you think you could like get moderators? I'm like, yeah, we're on it. Okay. We've got this. We've got this under control. We are going to add so many moderators that you're not going to be able, we're going to moderate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we've got a great show for you today, guys. We've got a number of topics. Number one is the Titan Z, or Titan Z, if you prefer, from Nvidia, has allegedly been postponed. And by allegedly, I mean it was supposed to launch three days ago, and it's not here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rumored to be launching the Android Silver program, and we've got a few details of what that would be, but it sounds like some kind of a mishmash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have China building an esports stadium. I love saying more on that later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Asus Republic of Gamers gaming notebooks. We've actually recently done a fair bit of talking about the G750 on the show and we're gonna keep doing that today because we are both


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're awful. Alright, so let's move on to our first topic of the day. Nissan develops water repellent technology for their cars. Now that's a bit of, uh, that's a bit of an oversimplification. It's not actually Nissan that developed this, uh, hydrophobic and oleophobic coating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Either way, this video is frickin' cool. So we're gonna go ahead and watch it together. And there's no sound, so I will be the narrator. Nissan, is this the world's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Somedays dirt. This is really impressive though. Okay, so check this out, check this out. This final shot, if the video is to be believed, has not been doctored.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can actually find like a couple little things on it. Like there's a little thing here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See that? Uhm, and then down here this piece of plastic


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] has actually clearly gone through the same treatment as the other piece of plastic. One thing to note is that this is a left side vehicle, so it means whenever they are like driving off the side of the road a little bit, it'll be on this side. So they, they did abuse


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the hydrophobic oleophobic coating, everywhere where it isn't applied,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, or everywhere where it's been applied, like on the paint here, on the windshield, is really, really impressive. I mean, look at that. We're just gonna here, let's reach frame on that for a second, so you can see the way that the dirt and water just


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come right off of it. Now, it's not the first time we've seen this. When I saw a Nissan's video, I went looking around for other ones, and I saw some really cool demos, like taking a concrete cinder block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just, like, trying to make it wet. Picking a glove. And just, like, taking the two gloves, and then putting them down on, like, paper towels.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this was posted on the forum by Probe NJA, so huge shoutout to you for doing that. And I think that's pretty much all there is to say about it. Nissan has said already that they have no plans to offer the paint as standard equipment, but will consider making it an option. You know what, to me is kind of funny? What do you mean consider making it an option?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they had to nerf it, right? Yeah, they, they had to completely change the formula. The original Scotchgard, like, my mum was under the impression that Scotchgard was amazing. So I went and like, sprayed all of my ski equipment with it, and like, the first day, I was like, yeah, I'm soaked, this stuff is crap mum, what on earth are you talking about?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other car with it. Please just cover, cover any car with it. Because why not? If you're buying it en masse, it's probably not going to cost that much in the end. And you wonder why consumers are sick of your crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you artificially segment your products that way. So I hope that Nissan, and anyone for that matter, develops this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The amount of water that gets wasted washing cars, the amount of soap and cleaning chemicals that go down storm drains, because not everyone is using environmentally friendly soaps when they clean their cars, at least here in North America is pretty astounding. I actually noticed the culture seems a little bit in the places in Europe that I've gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The culture about car washing seems very different. Uhm, so for example, uhm, I spent my honeymoon on the Greek islands and I don't think I saw a single car that had probably been washed in the last two months. Like it just wasn't a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and uh, and that was just, it was just a bit of an enlightening moment for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that screen was not very good. I remember the problem you had with it. With that said, you do have particularly gross hands. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is right up your alley, this next story here. Yeah. The famous Fabled!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think they've commented on any of this yet. They have not. Yeah. So Atari is just kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's just based on the buried games, it's not like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so like, I think at the end of the day, they're gonna, I mean, they're gonna excavate these, and I suspect there's enough of them that something's gotta work. Unless they specifically smashed them before they put them down. Right, right. But, I mean, so I think there'll be, there'll be tiers, right? There'll be the ones that are in basically like pristine condition and work. There'll be the ones that look good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fascinating to ask us or comment on anything that we've talked about so far. We're gonna do a Twitter Blitz in a little bit here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so our next topic is Android Silver. It was posted originally on the Linus Tech Tips forum by RedRound2. And then the source article was on Android Authority. So this is a report.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're going around right now that the Nexus program, so, you know, the Nexus 5, the Nexus 7, you know, I really did wonder what they were gonna do when they ran out of screen sizes to make it bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When cell phones go down enough in price, can we have the silver dollar?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about the, uh, how about the silver and sterling conflict?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't follow sports right? Oh, do you know what's going on right now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's kind of a thing right now. I don't know, I've been, I actually had a really interesting conversation with, uh, with, uh, Iago and the NCIX Tech Tips crew when we were having lunch today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, they brought up some interesting points. What he says in the privacy of his own home, no matter how foul and disgusting it is, is not illegal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like again, because what he's done right now actually isn't illegal and, and he's probably on the right side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of, of any law that could possibly exist to protect people who say things to people in public and then just have that turn into like a gigantic


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's probably on the right side of whatever that is, but if you actually look at any of the media articles about this whole controversy right now, people aren't even really going after him about the recording.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're going after him for being an allegedly supremely foul human being. And a lot of them are just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just digging up a ton of the history and kind of going, you know what, this is just the cherry on top that we needed to catalyze what's going on right now. Because you're, like, the recording, like, again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like someone saying to someone, I don't want you bringing a person of that ethnic persuasion into my building. No, I don't want that being said either. That is horrendous. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that's, even though it's wrong, it's not illegal. What happened?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not illegal to tell someone in private that, like, if I, okay, if I give you tickets to a play,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm like, look, I don't want you bringing, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's a whole other ball of wax. Anyway, I-I don't remember where I was going with this. Anyway, that's happening. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bing is so useless. Okay, here. Oh, oh good, they're screen sharing with me already. So VGGrating.com brings up G-Detox Plus Herbal Capsule. Uhm, okay, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I keep giving Bing a chance and like, okay, I don't use Google because I'm married to Google and love Google. My love for Google, skin deep. It works. It's a working relationship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and Google, we do our best here, and we fight through the problems, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bing, because it's the default on Internet Explorer and I reinstall operating systems so often, I often am lazy about installing my alternate browsers and I'll use IE and the default will be Bing for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the only time I actually turn around and like get off my lazy butt, and install my alternate browsers that all use Google as a default,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is when Bing just can't find anything. When it does something like that. When it does something like this. Look at those Bing results, okay? Office of Quality of Performance SSA.gov? Some patent for flame laminate polyether urethane?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] vggreater.com So Google managed to find it, Bing did not, and that is incredibly disappointing. Anyway, why don't we actually get on to our next topic here? So, from Android Authority, the Nexus program retiring next year, Android Silver,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Allegedly to take its place. So what Android Silver is going to be is a bit of a mishmash of the Nexus program. So Nexus, the idea was they support the phone with software for two years, correct?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I beli- I don't think there was a cap on it. I believe there was. Really? Well there was a guarantee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let us know in the chat if you guys can remember how long Nexus devices get. So anyway, so a Nexus device has to be this, it has to be at an aggressive price, it has to be from a well established manufacturer, and it has to be stock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what's interesting to me about silver is that I really think it takes the best of both worlds. Because right now, you've got those play edition devices, which for the HTC One M8, for example, the one that I think people should be buying if they're buying a play edition device, the HTC One M8, it's extremely expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Silver could take the concept of Play Edition, that is to say, and what's cool about the Play Edition, uh, phones that are coming out now, is how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They come with basically stock Android, but all of those cool, uhm, vendor-created customizations that can be added within a special subset of the Play Store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I love that approach. I think that's great. But if that could meet Nexus halfway and be implemented instead of only on flagship devices that you have to pay full pop out of pocket for,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forget where that sentence started. If that could be instead of on just flagship devices that you have to pay full pop for, if we could see that on mid-range devices or, and this is the other big bomb, carrier subsidized devices, I think that's an incredibly positive thing because the cold hard truth. And phone enthusiasts, get over yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so, especially the tier 1 carriers. A lot of the, like, tier 2 carriers, you can just do, like, basically pay as you go. But, but you're gonna, I mean, you're gonna, you're gonna pay for a phone contract anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So who cares? Not everyone upgrades their phone every year. Not everyone roots their device.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for some people, being able to get a high end device for $199 on contract, with a phone plan that they're gonna buy anyway, is great!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if we can have Android Silver fill that gap by giving us more mid-range devices that deliver a basically stock Google experience, uhm, where this is, this is not quite like the Google Play Edition one. So the idea is that a Silver device will come with the customizations off it, but you can remove basically all of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luke was like, uh, oh, hey, uhm, yo dog, could I borrow the, uh, the Moto X? And I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I might switch to the Moto X at some point. Plus it's got a nano-SIM. And you have a micro-SIM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know what guys, okay, Twitch chat, back me up on this because what I've heard is that cutting down from micro to nano


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's actually a lot more room for error than there is cutting down from full-size SIM to micro, for example, because the plastic is so close to the contact. So I didn't recommend that he do that, especially because his terrible carrier charges him $10 for a new SIM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's mine? I walked into the store, I was like, yo, I got a new phone. They're like, yo, you need a new sim? Let me set that up for you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where's my carrier? It's like, here are the two phones. And they like, they like take the SIM out for me, put it in the other phone, they make all the calls, then like he hands it back to me, he's like, oh, hold on, hold on, uh, what's your number? And he does like a test call from his own cell phone to make sure it's working, I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ballin'. Oh, people are asking, I'm on Belle. So, uh, Belle, Belle Canada, from my experience, has been one of the two lesser of all of the evils. And I used to be on Rogers, and they weren't bad either. So I think that leaves one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, for the first time ever, Luke is gonna be using an iPhone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until he de-cheapifies enough to buy a phone and that is going to be an interesting experience. And you know what? It's funny because the timing is going to be really good because I recently switched back to iOS. I've been using an iPhone 5S for the last


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's glitchy, it's broken. Ohhhh. Yeah, you gotta press it pretty hard. Yeah, sorry. Uhm, should've told you that. Uhm, so I think the upcoming iPhone 6 with its larger screen size is gonna be groundbreaking, not because the larger screen is innovative, but because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apple's going to have to make some serious changes to iOS in order to make a larger screen size work. Just little things, like for example,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within apps, the standard placement for back is at the very top left corner of the screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I think for people who have normal sized hands, isn't a problem right now. But when you go and throw that design onto a much larger phone, they're gonna start having the same problem people like me with little hands have, where in order to go back within an app,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna have to shift your, your grip on your phone and people are gonna drop a lot of iPhones unless they change that design. So, so I wanted to refresh myself on iOS again before I jump into the iPhone 6 and it's also, it's also been exactly a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, when I did my HTC One M8 review was basically one year from when I switched to Android. So I wanted to go back for a refresher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, see how iOS has evolved in the last little while. So it was, it was for a reason that I was doing that. And so this, I think, is important for you to actually get some perspective on the other side, because I'm gonna be doing a review of the 5s. I know I'm super late, I don't care. But the point is not gonna be the 5s. The point is gonna be, I switched back to iOS, what was it like?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the conclusion, just to spoil it for you guys, is you know what, it's not that bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's stuff I miss about Android, and there's stuff I'm gonna miss about iOS when I switch back to Android. Siri is so much better than Google Now that it's not even funny. And make whatever arguments you want, you're wrong. Siri is better than Google Now right now. That will change in the future in all likelihood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Experience of using it is better. I do like the fingerprint thing too. The fingerprint unlock is really well implemented. Is it a bulletproof piece of security hardware? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. It's nice and fast though. But it's very convenient. Uhm, so, so there's things I'm gonna miss about iOS.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uhm, at the end of the day, the conclusion that I came to is, you know what, it's trade-offs one way or the other. And I think if someone just put a gun to your head, as an Android lover, or as an iOS lover, and said, use the other one for a year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the first couple weeks or month, you'd be like rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. And the conclusion will be the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I do make some more specific points. I actually have a pretty long, uh, bullet list. It's gonna be, it's gonna be, I think, a pretty interesting video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, I think that's who it is. That's them, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, it's UPS, it's UPS. Oh, I think TELUS is 310, not 210.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a really close phone number. Anyway, okay, okay, okay, okay. I think you just stumbled on actually a brilliant idea, which...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. So, a recycling program for phones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Imagine, okay, like, there's so many different facets of this. So the carrier can probably get some kind of governmental credit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or whatever. And we will not only hand you this phone to use, but we're gonna give you two months credit if you lock in for like, six months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell you what, just give us a try. We're gonna be making our money back because we're gonna lock you in for a very short period of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can like, go buy a burger with your cash if you really want to, if you're willing to lock into a very short term.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of trying before you buy, we should probably do our sponsor segment here, so Hotspot Shield has their trial of their elite service, which you can go ahead and head over to bit.ly slash hs share. Go there, download the elite trial, and give it a shot. We actually had to use Hotspot Shield for something not that long ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a new sponsor that asked us to go on their website and pick out some like a try at home thing but the Canadian site doesn't offer that service and they have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most bulletproof geolock that I think I have ever encountered. And like, I bought a Google Glass. From Canada.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were more hardcore than Google Glass, which was really difficult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To figure out how to buy one if you weren't in the US. So anyway, we were trying to like pick out these things and the only way we could get on their site was to use hotspot shield. So hotspot shield allows you to fake your location which is great for all kinds of things. You can access content that otherwise might be firewalled in your country. It's funny, we've actually had quite a few people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they don't want people using hotspot shields to circumvent censorship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Ohhhh. Yeah, it's the actual firewall blocking people from circumventing the firewall with Hotspot Shield. So Hotspot Shield works on your desktop, on your phone, on your tablet, on whatever else the case may be. Allows you to circumvent those kinds of pesky blocks as well as circumvent other geo-restrictions like from video streaming services like Netflix. Although the word on the street is that Hulu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is cracking down on VPN users in general. Has there been an update to that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Netflix wasn't part of that, so you can definitely still use a lot of video streaming services. With Hotspot Shield, you can decide, oh, I want to be from Great Britain, I want to be from the US. I've had people who tried Hotspot Shield, so guys, do give it a try. I've had people try it and say, hey Linus, it slowed down my internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't use hotspot shield when you're gaming. It's a one button to turn it on and off. You don't use it when you're gaming because your ping times will be terrible. Because you are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intentionally redirecting all of the data to a different country.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before it goes to wherever it needs to go. I mean the server could be down the street from you. You could normally get like 3 millisecond pings. And you're redirecting it to like the UK and back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, our other sponsor of the show today is Asus with the G750JZ. You can see that both Luke and I are powered by this particular gaming notebook and food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're also powered by food, and basically what this is, it is, is, it is, is, it is, is, it is a Cream of the Cream gaming notebook with a GTX 880M. And the big thing here is that it exists within a pricing realm that is actually


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not that different from something like a gaming desktop. Is it exactly the same? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could you get a slightly better value for your dollar with a gaming desktop in terms of sheer FPS per money spent out of your pocket? Yes. But the point is that it's not completely out to lunch anymore and it does have the added benefit of being portable. The coolest thing I think about it is the fact that the GTX 880M inside here


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean we've known forever that the M version is not the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the not M version that goes in a desktop machine, but what we've never seen before


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is only a one generational gap between the M version and the desktop version.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On a notebook because it's actually clocked at almost the same speed as a 770 desktop card, which if you guys remember is about equivalent to a GTX 680.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's only, flagship wise, one end and an increment, because we got the 780 and then the 780Ti, so like one increment and then one full generation back from a current flagship desktop card, which I think is really really cool. It also runs cool enough that we can actually survive this show with them on our lap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there you go guys, thank you! Huge thank you to our sponsors, Hotspot Shield and Asus, who also happens to be the presenting sponsor, that's why that laptop sits there, uh, for providing us with these notebooks and these VPNs that we legitimately need to do our jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Except when it's just a bunch of nonsense. And like, gets me angry calls from sponsors about how like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our content is obscene. All right, so let's go ahead and do that Twitter blitz we promised you guys. Professor Nick Butler, can you comment on a hypothetical Corsair RGB keyboard release date? Oh man, I'm sorry, I can't. What I will tell you is that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I believe they are planning to show it at Computex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, like, remember when Microsoft did the whole, like, uh, Xbox One in the Shark Tank thing?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it turned out that that Xbox was actually full of like, lizard on trails, or something? Like, is that funny? Or is that just them, like, does that get- I think the sharks would eat it. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, let's just move on. In Portugal, carrier locked and no contract, a bunch of phone pricing and dollars that probably I can't relate to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Galaxy S5 for 900 bucks. Actually, I'm gonna do my thoughts on the Galaxy S5 as well as the gear fit later on in the show, so uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, often, aside from updating the chipset, even when there's no socket change, Intel will update the electrical specifications of the socket to be capable of things like, uh, tighter voltage regulation, for example. So, a lot of the time, you'll get newer motherboards. So for example,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very late LGA 775 motherboards could work with almost every previous LGA 775 CPU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then the later LGA 775 CPUs were like, barely backwards compatible, if at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that, that was probably the best example of a very long-lasting socket whose compatibility, actually, front, forward and backward wasn't very strong. So it's 650 bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you gonna make a video about the April updates to SHIELD? Uh, there are, yes, some really cool stuff. I had not planned on a dedicated video. We have talked about them on WAN Show before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently, something about a recipe from Canada. Thank you, Barney, please. Uh, silver makes me wonder what the gold tier would be if they add one. You know what? I don't think there's any rumored gold tier. I think the, the, the Android program is just called silver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But who knows, I guess they're leaving themselves flexibility up and down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not really planning on it right now, but that's not to say that anything's impossible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ahhhh, because our equipment is so much better than theirs. They want people to-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. Everything about our operation is just vastly superior. You know what's funny? You know what's funny is they were closing in on the NCIX Tech Tips channel in terms of subscribers. Like they were, they got really close and then all of a sudden a completely untrained group of people came into the NCIX Tech Tips


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of whom, there are about a third as many as the New Egg TV team, and then with me coming in, like, five hours a week,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kyle, eat it. Joanne, you're not there anymore, but you can eat it too. Steve can eat it. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, most companies second, second hand phones to emerging countries and send, yeah, yeah, that's, that's a better option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It seems I've been banned from talking about 12Hz Master Race. Yeah, that sounds about right. Uhm, SaskTel will give you $250 for anything, including their TV, internet, and phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This transitions well into one of our topics. We're actually going to be talking about Google Class' bomb cost being $80. So why don't we, why don't we move on to our next topic for now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am so excited about Harrison Ford, and Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher, and like, ARGH!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well, okay, let's all just back up for a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I think it could have been good, but George Lucas was involved. And therefore...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the whole throwing out the Expanded Universe thing, I have mixed feelings on because there was a lot of stuff from the Expanded Universe that was quite frankly a hundred times better than anything


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was canon. Really good. A lot of it was fantastic. I, I, I do see that even though they've thrown it out, they, it's not like they haven't left in the possibility to adopt parts of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which I think is great, but to me, it's a little bit frustrating that they, that they basically went, okay, no, the whole thing is scrapped and they kind of just, that's all they've told us. When there is so much lore that is so plausible and so good and really doesn't need to be reimagined, that they could have just left alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But right now I think, what is it? Clone Wars TV show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which, I saw a little bit of once, and holy cow was it ever terrible. I never watched it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't know, I mean, okay, I, uh, maybe, and maybe this is me being kind of crazy, but I would actually like for episode 7 to be the last time we see Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Silver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One possibility, and I'd love it if this is what they're doing, I don't, I don't know what they're doing, I mean, what I would love to see, because they are, they have a system, like they have a team of people that are dedicated to curating content and making it, deciding what's canon and what's not, what I would love to see them do is actually skip a bunch. Again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So actually create an intermediary story that could easily be filled in by having the original people do voice acting, for example, for digital representations of themselves, so through video games, or, or through animated series-es.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like the rebellion goes from existing on like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yavin 4. Like, that's the entire Rebel alliance. To like, all of a sudden, now they've got a fleet. And then like, all of a sudden, well now they have like a badass fleet and like, Salmon piloting their ships. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They can win a major battle. So there's a lot of room here for a lot of the Expanded Universe stuff to still work if they skip forward enough.

[Assistant] So that's what I want, but I, I don't know. I don't know. I just, I, I don't want to get my hopes up too much because I, I used to be a pretty hardcore Star Wars buff. I know. Like knew everything. I think compared to the Masked

[Assistant] So the supplier of what they were using for lethal injections, and this is all paraphrasing, my wife's been following it really closely because she's a pharmacist, so the drug aspect of all this is fascinating to her because pharmacists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, I guess. Ah, so the drug supplier that was supplying the drugs for lethal injections was getting threatened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't spell x-a-q-d without q-d. Uhm, so, so supposed to make them unconscious and then the subsequent injection or injections were supposed to do the deed so to speak, but there have been cases where they appear to be trying to get out of the chair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which would imply that the pain that they're undergoing is also accompanied by some level of consciousness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get over there. This is a concept, by the way. This is not actually what it's gonna look like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the China Times has reported that Apple has gone into production. So the rumor is that during the first quarter of product availability, there's going to be anywhere from 2.5 to 3.5 million units of

So Samsung sent me a Galaxy S5, as well as a Gear Fit. Uhm, I didn't have long enough with them, I only had them for about a week. So I didn't have long enough with them to do a full review, but what I told Samsung is, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, sure, send it to me for a week. I'm not gonna do a review, but I'll talk about it on my show, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text
