[Assistant] Uhm, question mark, single 8 pin power connector, question mark 2 display port, that would be a shame. Uh, with a question mark, no, they're apparently pretty confident about the June 2016 release time. That would make sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right near Computex. Yep, so much like last time around where we got a 980 that was pretty similar to the 780ti, which was based on big, uh, crap, I'm losing track of my, uh, losing track of my codenames. Big Kepler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So about, about equivalent in terms of performance, so it looks like we're gonna see a mid-tier chip that's probably about similar to performance to the last-gen big chip.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then we will actually have to wait another product refresh to get big, uhm, big Pascal on the consumer side in the form of probably a Titan Booyah edition or whatever the case may be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that's a good question, and not one that more cores would solve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roll the outro! Yeah! See you again next week! Same bat time! Same bat channel!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one's like Titan XXX, no they will not do that. Although knowing Nvidia, they did introduce MF anti-aliasing, so... I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mass drop! K7XX drop, go check it out! Squarespace, you should! Fresh books!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It reminds me of, uh, like, Billy Billy. That Chinese site that we upload our videos to. Have you ever watched our videos on there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Comments. Stream across the video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think it's at the point in the video that the person was watching when they made that comment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's like all over the video, it's like, how do you watch this? It's awful. Cultural differences, I guess. Alright, bye guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and the... Statue with nipples. No. No, unfortunately not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My bad. Anyways, the wifi network there does one of those things where you have to like approve your login thing through a portal and whatever and I was trying to do it and it wasn't working and I needed internet at that point in time so I was like whatever and turned my wifi off. Didn't really think about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A little while later, using my phone, and it's like, oh, your data has been turned off because you're at your maximum. My warning didn't come through where I swiped it without realizing it. Because I hate it when notifications load while you're in your notification bar. I might have swiped it without actually seeing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my data is dead, and I think I'm like six days into the month or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the whole catastrophe around TeamViewer, all the, the accounts being...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't actually know a fourth topic that's interesting. You sound wonderful to me, by the way. Do I?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not gonna work. It also just doesn't sound like a good idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would we do that? If we could just, like, lifehacker. I said a tweet about this earlier, I was like, I don't really care about the rest of it, but if lifehacker survives, that would be cool. If we could just consume, like, just them, I'd be down with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gizmodo, Kotaku, Jalopnik, uh, and yeah, Jezebel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might even be more accurate. Uhm. Actually, yeaah, I think so. It was right around there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Well I guess that's still a thing if you're an old man. Well like, how long has banging been around for? I don't know, a long time. I'm sure my dad is like, well versed with that term.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just being honest, it's almost Father's Day. You got nine days to figure it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To figure out if he's your father or? Well maybe. That could be the situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, no, we should do this, but we should do it with like, uh, like computer components.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man. We should like, make a fake Hulk Hogan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. I want- And have it water cool someone else's computer. I want no p-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You are attempting to ve- cause this- this ties into another conversation, which is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is porn okay while you're in a relationship? And this is like stuff you need to decide in your relationship. I'm not saying as a general statement, I mean with you and your partner you need to decide. Yes. Is porn okay? And then on top of that is VR porn okay? Because they're actually pretty different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Yeah. VRPort is very much putting you in that scenario. Yeah. With like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, uh, directional audio, so you feel like you're there, and like, if the person's talking to you, you can hear where it's coming from, like, all that like, crazy stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is like on another level. And then you're stepping up again. You think so? I think each one of those will reduce the amount of people that are okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the robot though, you are directly trying to replace the person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mhm. So like you are actually attempting to replace. The functionality of the partner. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is also why VR Toy Assisted would probably... Would that top the robot for you? I don't know. They're both like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That might be true in relationships as well though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, I'm sorry, but like, it is for some people. Okay, sure. Fair enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the problem is, even if we did go the previous year, it was probably just keynotes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wasn't it just keynotes? Like I'm pretty sure we just watched those in the office. I remember like talking to you because we were both scripting and half watching at the same time. Like, we basically more or less went, just virtually, not to tie back to the previous conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. The most valuable thing I think we could do from a keynote, uhm, and the keynote that I went to was an NVIDIA one. And what I did was I just Periscope livestreamed the whole thing. Which like, mhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did that because I don't think it was being livestreamed. Right. The, the stream that I did, uh, Twitch stream of at the Nvidia event when I didn't have a table and was like crammed in these tiny freaking seats in the back trying to hold my camera up while supporting my laptop was horrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even really know why people watched. I tried to like, I tried to even get reactions from like, Jay and the other people that are sitting beside me, and I turned the camera and the HDMI cable would just-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For how big this has become, I'm surprised it doesn't have way more views.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they also showed like, I think it was Yahoo and Bing typing the exact same thing in, and Yahoo and Bing reacted the exact same way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but SourceFed showed that people were searching for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you type in Donald Trump RAC, it comes with Donald Trump Racist. If you type Hillary Clinton RAC, it comes with Rachel Race Issue, Rachel Maddow Race 2016.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I doubt it. I'm just saying that was said in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are, because you can make them computers. Like there's a, isn't there like a military data center or server or something that's PlayStation 3's?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. See I was trying to do like the thing so that like we would only take part of it away from them and then we could like slowly wean it off over time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Computex, you would've seen some of these things already, so those things are made by Primochill, actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So these are little like, you can change the look of the front of your case and the, uh, power supply basement area to this like crazy blue thing if that's not your style.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beautiful, honestly, looking power supply, uh, happens to be Maker, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do appreciate that they did follow up on the store thing. I, I, like, it probably would have helped if I said it in the original video, but the first time I covered their freeform modular system stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I gave them like a year or whatever, and I talked to you about it, not that long ago, like where is that? Where is that store thing? Cause it's not here yet. And then it showed up like three weeks or a month before Copytex or something, and I was like alright, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think a lot of people don't think it. Yeaah? Yeaah, I guess cause you, yeaah, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels more like a TV viewing thing, instead of an intercommunication thing like Twitter and Facebook.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna say who, but, uh, certain people on like, the forum, and certain people that I know through Twitch and stuff, have included their handles for the Line of Sectips forum for certain jobs that they have gotten and that has been part of it. So I see-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I actually do totally see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, having Riot be like, it's a good thing if you give us your username.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so some questions that you can't ask is, what is your religious affiliation? Are you pregnant? What is your political affiliation? What is your race, color, or ethnicity? Although if you're in an interview, uh, anyways. Sometimes it's not obvious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, uhm, that's a good point. How old are you? Are you disabled? Are you married? Do you have children or plan to? Are you in debt? Do you drink or smoke? Socially. Socially I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you put that information on your forehead? No, because there's also implied anonymity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through your username. You're not playing as minus Sebastian. You're playing as whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but like, okay, you know what I mean though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I give up too. Uhm, I don't actually use my real, but yeah, I give up. Uh, I twitch stream. What am I supposed to do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, but it's still not forfeiting your username, because you could falsify your personal data. That's true. But if the EULO-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If there was, I'm going into three articles here. Yeah. If that list of stuff that I just said included gamertag for whatever reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would circumventing that by saying that they have to follow the EULA, is that legal? I guess John...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we have, uh, to give some insight, we have, uh, not necessarily changed opinions, but added information to what we thought about a person that was going through an interview process with us by looking at their social media, yes. Long time ago, you were in on that. Did I? Was I? It was their Twitter account, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I personally don't really like this. The reason why I don't really like this is because of the implied anonymity of your username. If you post something on Twitter or to a public Facebook account,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is very searchable and is directly attached to your name. I think, of course, that's searchable by your employer. I don't think you have to forfeit those accounts, but they're under your name and are searchable, so... whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was just gonna say, that's also a different thing, because it's their platform, and I could definitely see, this might change my opinion a little bit, because it's their platform, that's like, how they are treading on your turf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was- I was applying this to like, any gamertag. Right. So like, if you played WoW and League of Legends, they would wanna have both. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't ask for their other accounts. So I actually, I guess I do agree with it. I just don't agree with it as a, uh, a gamertag in general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're roleplaying an asshole, they-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're trying to apply for and will be representing in some way or another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well, like compared to a negative person, they would want someone who's trying to make the community better. Because that's the exact same kind of deal as the person in the interview, uh, who is actively trying to find ways and offer up ways that they could improve the company. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You obviously didn't care and are contributing to a toxic environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well they were definitely compromised. The question is whether or not-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's one thing that people are questioning is they're saying, I had a two-step enabled and they still got in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't have any confirmations of these things, but hearing that is bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, one thing that I'm gonna say is, uh, not to bring this up again, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quite a while ago, we had a breach on the Line of Sectives forum, which super mega sucked. Uhm, and... Even if that wasn't our fault... You still have to kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should probably, considering this is an exploit that's going against your software,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, their breach isn't your fault, but it's still an exploit that is widely significantly going against your software. You should probably inform your users that this could be a problem. Suggest password changes proactively through an email. Suggest two-step.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, which was a nightmare. Thanks, Microsoft. We were just trying to help people and then they ignored us for months with trying to get...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The curly one was funny. You guys suck, you almost got it. Those are my, uh, inputs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Oh, welcome to the WAN Show, guys. It's Friday. I'm broadcasting live from the studio here in lovely, Langley, British Columbia. And quite frankly, I'd rather be at home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Playing games on the HTC Vive. I will definitely be spending some time on the show today talking about that. I will definitely-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Acknowledge my, uh, unfortunately downgraded but still somewhat sexy co-host here. And I will definitely tell you all of the topics that we are going to be covering on the show today after the intro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hold on, I got this. There may even be music today. We'll see if I fixed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, woah! Some of you guys were asking where Luke is. Luke is in a place doing a thing. The place is called Pax East. And uh, whoever, whoever did up the Pax, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linus Media Group actually had two away teams at the same time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Taron and Brandon were down at NAB in Las Vegas, and before they returned, Luke, Burkle, and Dennis actually left to go cover Pax East. So we're gonna have like an entire week of show coverage for you guys. And in the meantime, I've been back here in the studio with, uh, David, and Ed, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I guess that's about it, and we've been working on some really cool stuff. So we've got the review of the iPhone SE coming up. We've got a power bank, like, battery bank showdown coming up. We've got, uhm, I don't, this is a video nobody asked for, but I was kind of interested in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so I decided to make, but I've got a video upcoming on IPMI, which is a remote management interface that exists on some motherboards that allows you to log in from anywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, power on the server, power down the server, change bio settings even, all kinds of cool stuff like that. So, uh, so I've been working on some videos, and they've been working on some videos, and it's all good stuff. And, uh, okay, right, so I will, I will answer those questions that I said I was gonna answer. This is my new co-host, her name is Keiku.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or something, I'm making that up. I know she's an actual character from an actual show, I don't know what it is. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've got people talking about Wacom LAN. Yes. Yes, I go through Wacom LAN in the video. I actually only have some other cool solutions that I guarantee you've never heard of as well. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I know, Yoko, apparently it's Yoko, I don't know, I'm sorry, you know, for me it's just, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was on Amazon and I was just browsing toys. Not those kinds of toys. I was browsing toys and I was just trying to find stuff for Channel Superfund. So this was around the time leading up to the big move into the new studio. And so I was just like, what the hell is this? It's a waifu pillow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Making out with it or something and I'd get like reaction shots from people but we ended up coming up with the channel super fun where we did the cuddle challenge. I think that ended up being a lot better anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like nothing ever really catches on for us on that channel, like it doesn't go, it doesn't go viral.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or whatever else. I've got people telling me to get another human. The office is like, empty. I mean, do you really want me to pull Nick Light in here? Huh? Come on, it'd be like the worst thing ever. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I promised to discuss some, okay, before I get into that, uhm, I will go through some of the top topics for today. Intel to cut 12,000 jobs as PC demand wanes. Ouch!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, researchers accidentally discovered technology that could lead to batteries that can be charged many more times than current ones. Nerdsports has launched on Vessel, so this is something that we've had a lot of people


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Asking about, uh, seeking clarification on. So, Nerd Sports is a new series that we developed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it was funded by Vessel.com, so if you guys are familiar with Vessel, it's the early access platform that our videos go up on, uh, generally speaking one week before YouTube.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this is different. Nerdsports is exclusive to Vessel, and it's a series that we developed. We've done five episodes, or filmed five episodes so far, three of which are actually done, one of which is released, uhm, where basically,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Linus Media Group team, we call ourselves the Keyboard Warriors, takes on actual sports teams. So the first sports that we did were uhm, ha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually we filmed it like ages ago at this point. Projects like this take so long. So volleyball, dodgeball, lacrosse, ice hockey, and curling. So the first episode is volleyball. It's awesome. We actually take on the Trinity Western Spartans who are the top


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it is uhm, it, it is actually pretty hilarious. I don't think I'm technically supposed to do this, cause like, there is a trailer and stuff, but I will, I will play just, I will play just a little bit of it. Uhm, so where, videos, here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just gonna grab some, grab a couple chunks out of it here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course, everyone's probably like hitting it all at the same time now. Thanks guys!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's weird. See, that's working. Well, we'll be back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so Nerd Sports is available now. It's gonna be released weekly for the next four weeks over on Vessel.com. Uhm, what else do we have?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah yes, a mosquito killing billboard. Pretty freaking cool. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now, with all that aside, I have to take some time to talk about the HTC Vive. And I know you guys are thinking, alright, Luke's not here on the show!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't have to listen to anyone talk about, talk about VR for the next hour and a half. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were wrong, uhm, everything about, everything about that was wrong. I'm definitely gonna be talking about VR. So, the HTC Vive arrived yesterday afternoon, at which time I promptly, completely abandoned everything else that I had planned for that evening. Uhm, I got home, I was like, hi kids, bye kids, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lock myself upstairs. They were allowed in afterwards, but only if they agreed to help me set up the Vive. Uh, lock myself upstairs to set up the Vive. It takes, uh, it's the most agonizing, like, hour ever. Because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda thought it would come with like floor stands or something for the lighthouse units. It does not. They just expect you to wall mount it. So I was like, uh, uh, Vaughn, are we painting this room soon? Cause we'd actually discussed it. And she's like, yeah, I think, I think so. We had, we had said we were going to. I'm like, okay, I'm putting a bunch of holes in the wall. So I'm just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I realized, oh, I don't have any VR games downloaded, so I had to, I had to go buy some VR games right away, and then I had to, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead and wait for those to download while I finish the setup. And then I spent about two hours straight


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the first time playing a single player experience? In...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know, like I can't even begin to imagine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long it's been since I've, since I've done that in a single player game. Like I'll drop in and like I was playing Team Fortress 2 with, uh, with Luke actually the other night. He was streaming on his Twitch channel and stuff. Uh, but like just playing single player games, it's been a long time. But I was playing, uh, Space Pirate Trainer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is freaking cool, you've got like a shield and a blaster and you can like switch out your shield and your blaster, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is unbelievably fun. Uhm, I had, I had a lot of people say, yeah, enjoy your, enjoy your headache after 30 minutes. You know what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two hours almost uninterrupted. Uh, my wife was playing for a little bit. Two hours almost uninterrupted. And I was feeling good. Like I was 100% fine at the end of that. It was, it was freaking awesome. I can't wait to go home and play with it more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are still issues, like the setup process is not perfect. I ran into a couple of issues while I was setting it up. Uhm, number one was I ended up with the bug where you can end up standing like six to ten feet below the floor for the entire like introductory video segment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was just like, okay, well, this is really frustrating. Like, is it- is everything supposed to be up there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Am I supposed to be down here? Cause there's like a weird like golf cart next to me. But what I was actually standing in was like a little room that's supposed to lift the golf cart up. Like it's supposed to seem like the golf cart emerges from there, but I was just stuck down there and I didn't come up when the golf cart went up either. So it was just sort of confusing. Uhm, and then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other issue I had was my, my motion controllers, my, my handheld motion controllers just weren't picking up until I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and like there, there were some issues with the setup. But once it's going,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it's fun. Like, the resolution does bother me. Like, you take off the goggles and you see the preview window on the screen and you're just like, oh man, what if it looked like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not to the point where the gameplay isn't immersive and the gameplay isn't ludicrously enjoyable. So it was, uhm, I-I tell you guys, it was an absolute, it was an absolute blast. I-I had a lot of fun with it last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will, I suppose I will get on with the show now. Uhm, let's jump into our first topic here. So the original article is from a non-tech


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, about 11% of the total workforce, 12,000 people, uhm, CEO Brian Krzanich says,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intel has been known as a PC company, it's time to make this transition and push the company all the way over to supplying chips for things like smartphones, cloud computing, sensors, and other devices, getting heavily into Internet of Things and mobile products.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he's not saying that CPUs as you know them are going away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're just diversifying their portfolio and focusing their R&D very clearly on those other possible revenue streams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be clear, also, 60% of the revenue does still come from PCCPUs, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really hope that they know something that AMD doesn't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About the possibility for improving CPU performance over the next few years here, because we've, we really have seen them de-emphasize the CPU long before there were mass layoffs associated with it like this, where they're kinda going, okay, yup, more power efficiency, uhm, we're putting more GPU on it, we are...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not really doing a whole lot in terms of the overall horsepower of it. Keeping the computing experience of the desktop user


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The better connectivity I would say even benefits notebook users more than desktop users because desktop users can throw an add-in card in their system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say for example, whereas laptop users, these battery life improvements, these connectivity improvements, you know, things like Thunderbolt 3 make a huge difference. I mean, you can only have so many ports on something like a laptop. Uhm, something like Apple's MacBook. Can we have one port? Yay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whereas on a desktop, you, well, you don't really need a single port that has such high speeds and can handle, you know, LAN and sound and USB and HDMI and DisplayPort all out of this one connection because you could just plug all those things in. That's not really that big of a deal. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where was I going with this? Right, so we've seen this de-emphasis coming, but it's frustrating because when you look at


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you look at Intel's CPUs, uhm, on the, on the mainstream side, like on the LGA 11.5x side of things,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is room, like actual physical, there is physical room for them to, even if they can't increase clock speeds dramatically, and even if they can't increase IPC, that's the, that's the performance per clock dramatically, they could be putting more cores on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they opted to give us a pure CPU rather than an APU, something with CPU and graphics built into it at the same time. They just don't. They reserve that for the high-end platform, the enthusiast and the server platform, and, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty much all she wrote on that. Now, this is really weird, and I am going to have to find out what it is regarding by having Nick find out what it's regarding. Sorry, just one moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can you take this for me please? Thank you. And I'm going to move into my next topic here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well actually, well hold on, I guess I could give a little bit, a little bit more clarification. So this is the largest set of layoffs in ten years since 2006 when they let 10,500 people go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, profit margins in Q1 were lower than expected with a net income of 2 billion dollars on a revenue of 13.7 billion. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dunno, I hope for their sake. They know something AMD doesn't know because if they're planning to let a lot of people go on the desktop CPU side, if AMD really does see a resurgence with Zen, get some more revenue coming in, um, potentially allowing them to pick up some of that talent,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There could be a big opportunity for us to have competition again due to Intel, not accidentally, but making a conscious decision to take their foot off the pedal on the desktop CPU side of things. Uh, all good? Okay, okay, okay, cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, let's move into Intel announcing- Oh, no, we already got that. Oh, let's move into this one, this one's fun. So, original article here was off of PC perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And basically, it's amazing how this happens, but researchers accidentally discovered nanowire-based technology that could lead to batteries that can be charged hundreds of thousands of times. So, you guys are probably familiar with the way that almost as though


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By planning, uhm, phones become obsolete thanks to their batteries just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going through the maximum number of charge and discharge cycles until they die. Like there's lithium ion batteries are inherently not stable over many charge and discharge cycles. Well, here we go!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Accidental discovery, nanowires, which are several thousand times thinner than a human hair. Extremely conductive, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have a large surface area to support storage and transfer of electrons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Letai's team, so this is Maya Letai, fixed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The issue where these tiny wires are fragile and don't hold up well to repeated discharging and recharging, they fix this by holding a gold nanowire in a manganese dioxide shell and then placing it in a gel that's like plexiglass to improve its reliability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Maya was apparently playing around and she coded the whole thing with a very thin gel layer and started to cycle it. And discovered that by using this gel,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She could cycle it hundreds of thousands of times without losing any capacity or any power output. So this was tested more than 200,000 times over a three month span and they are reporting the findings now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would love to see this technology in my new smartphone, and I share, uhm, I believe it was written by Ryan Shroudover at PCPer, but it could have been one of their other writers, but I share their concern about this technology ultimately being patented and ending up in a warehouse somewhere, never to be seen. Again, because it is a good thing for phone manufacturers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bottom line wise, for the phone to effectively not be usable anywhere from three to six years after it was originally manufactured, would they want the battery to last forever? I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so moving along to our next topic, AMD is set to receive 293 million in fresh cash from a deal with the Chinese government.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This of course raises any number of questions, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, this comes on, on the heels of the Chinese, the, so, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's kind of complicated, because the Chinese government and then companies in China are intertwined in a way that you wouldn't necessarily expect if you come from, like, a more western or more capitalist society. I mean, yea, the Chinese claim that capitalism is alive and well, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reality of it is that state funds make a lot of the businesses that run in China possible. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In here, the original article is actually from Guru3D, I'm just gonna go ahead and pull that up. So in the Guru3D article, they say the Chinese government has attempted to make CPUs and develop their own CPU architecture many times before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they want their own hardware and software for government-funded institutions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In their strategy, in their marketing strategy that they're ready to customize modular CPU and SoC or system on chip designs by the client specs. So similar to what they would have done with uh, Sony and Microsoft for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the deal was mentioned in their last quarterly results, and basically...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The deal would involve AMD licensing its x86 processor technology and the IP related to designing an SoC like memory controllers, input-output, and caching, but possibly not their GPU technology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the architecture has not been confirmed, but Forbes is claiming that it must be Zen, as their previous server CPUs hadn't had much, if any, success. It's actually been, it's been a while since Opteron has, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has been much of a big deal. This is, this is, this is very, this is very, very interesting. I mean, AMD is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could see it as AMD getting in bed with China, uh, you could also see it as...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] China eventually giving in and using, uh, using American technology in order to, well, catch up to what the Americans were able to do with respect to, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, with respect to supercomputing and, I mean, see, I don't even know if this is gonna be used in a supercomputing context, to be very clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because all we really know is that the deal would involve licensing x86 processor technology and IP related to building x86 architecture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is interesting, so I actually, I don't have a, I don't have a source link for this or anything like that, but AMD will not be seeding FirePro, sorry, dangit Colton, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they will not be seeding their upcoming Dual Hawaii card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I forget what they're even calling it. I think it's like Radeon Duo Pro or Pro Duo, there we go. So the Radeon Pro Duo will not be ceded to conventional gaming press.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go ahead and share you guys on the, uh, sort of the announcement for their supercomputing performance to VR. Uhm, so what I was pretty much told is that this


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I haven't received any of the deck materials yet, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All I know is going off of rumors. So it's supposed to be dual Hawaii chips. Uhm, it sounds like it's gonna be dual 4 gig.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it'll be, it'll be, uh, it's, oh, okay, this is off of AMD sites, so, anticipated selling price of $1500 US, and basically the reasoning that was given to me was, well, it's not really,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, did I say dual Hawaii? Sorry, dual Fiji. Dual Fiji. So it's effectively two, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's effectively like 2, R9.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, R9 Fury slash Fury X kind of class GPUs. That's what we can glean from the details we have so far. Sorry, I can't believe I said dual Hawaii's. I've been running around trying to get our internet back up and running over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And see, sorry, I'm struggling a little bit because I'm not sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much of what they told me is stuff that is on this page I'm looking at and how much of it is stuff that's gonna be in the deck that's gonna be NDA'd. So, so this is good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It offers a complete solution aimed at all aspects of the VR developer lifestyle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Developing content more rapidly for killer VR experiences while at work and playing the latest DirectX 12 experiences at maximum fidelity while off work. So it's no secret that dual GPU support on recent generation games has not been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What it was, even before, and by the way guys, we are live. Uhm, something about time zones, not time zones. It is 5.37 and we are live. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, even a year or two years or even three years ago, dual GPU support wasn't perfect. A lot of the time it required patches from Nvidia or AMD or previously ATI in order to function, but it's actually gotten worse and worse and worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As time has gone on, in fact, some games over the last little while, even games that have been, you know, you know, the ones where there's like the Nvidia logo or the AMD logo that pops up at the beginning with, you know, GameWorks technology or whatever else that just flat out the developers going, yep, yep, that's a lie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crossfire, forget it. Forget it. Yeah, it just doesn't matter. It's too small of a portion of customers. So, for that reason, the Pro Duo...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was not realistically going to get very good reviews from the gaming press because it frankly just doesn't make a ton of sense as a gaming card. It's only got 4 gigs of effective video memory because it's 4 gigs per GPU. That doesn't add up to 8 gigs. That means 4 gigs. Uhm, it's too...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Presumably fairly power hungry chips that perform okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But not well enough to charge fifteen hundred dollars for two of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, we've run into this before, but typically the dual GPU solution has been closer to the thousand dollar range and not so close to the fifteen hundred dollar range where you can't just kind of go, okay, you know, like here, this is a fun experiment, let's just fire up Newegg, shop AMD Radeon Fury X.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, newegg.com is fine. Oh, I don't- Wow. Wow. The world's most boring sale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, okay, so about $629, so you're paying this huge premium to have a card that does save you on PCI- apparently 295x2 launched at $1500. Yeah, that's a good point, but how many units did 295x2 sell?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, this is a, this is a, this is a dinosaur. The Radeon Pro Duo in a gaming sense is a dinosaur because you can get two Fury Exes for 1300 bucks after taxes kind of thing. So unless you desperately need those two slots,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you even, what are you even doing? And if you desperately need those two slots, why don't you just water cool, water cool a couple of, uh, fury x's? I mean, that actually pays for your water blocks, right there. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's gonna be power hungry, it's gonna be super expensive, so basically they're kinda going, okay, yeah, it's for developers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I, I don't really, I don't really, I guess I, what I don't really get at this point, I understand why they're not seeding it to reviewers, because it wouldn't have gotten a positive review from us. It wouldn't have gotten a positive review from probably anyone. They'd say, you know, it's, it's always that sugar-coated conclusion, right? This is the ultimate graphics card for AMD enthusiasts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who want the highest performance single AMD card?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you go like, you go like, this is, this, this sliver of this slice of the available market of people who are interested in graphics cards, and that is pretty much all that is left for someone who, for, for gaming purposes might be interested in a Radeon Pro Dual. I'll be interested to see,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What they can come up with in terms of value adds for the pro duo that would make it make sense for developers, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alpha 17x in the chat. This is a really good point. I'm a developer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I use what the end user would be using, so I know what the crap I'm something Twitch chat moves too fast. I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a, that is a really, really great point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And depending on what kind of development you're doing, like if you're working on digital assets, you might be interested in something like a Fire Pro or something like a Quadro card, but in those cases you'd want a lot more than 4 gigs of VRAM per GPU. So I still don't understand


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why they're even releasing this card, that's the question. I understand why they don't want people to review it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't understand why they even kept it in development after all this time. Cause it's like, it's no secret that VR and DirectX 12 is where we're headed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And dual GPU? Something of a dinosaur at this point. I mean, Nvidia didn't even bother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think, do you think Nvidia couldn't have built a dual 980 card? Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They totally could have done it. You think they couldn't have built a dual 980 card with 8 gigs of RAM per GPU. Like, that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They managed to build an MXM. They managed to put a 980 in a laptop. The power efficiency was there. The thermal output was there. They were just like, eh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why bother? I mean, Titan Z was such a flop. I mean, the price that presumably it had to be in order to build it because they had, they had lots of time to drop the price on it and just go, okay, yeah, we'll just take less margin on it and sell some more units. Uhm, like the price it must have cost to make it just made it untenable. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, to me this is kind of like the final swan song for dual GPUs on one card outside of, outside of, you know, professional, like scientific, like high performance computing based cards that you might expect to find in a, in a, like a huge server farm somewhere, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopefully Polaris is the answer and, uh, and we can all look forward to that. Hey, Brandon, can you, uh, help me with something for a minute? Very, very quickly. By running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Uhm, can you find out what this is and direct it to the appropriate place? It may be something quite important. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this is a cool piece of technology. The original poster here is Ah Ming, and the original article here is from The Verge. This is a cool way to use technology. This is a mosquito killer billboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is targeting mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus in Brazil. Now if you have been, if you've been watching, uhm, the development of Zika in the news, you're probably aware that it is a huge concern


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not necessarily for perfectly healthy people, but especially if you're pregnant, Zika could be a major problem because it can cause, I believe it's, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's either macro or micro. I'm gonna go with microcephaly, which is a condition where your brain, depending on whether it's macro or micro, I think it's micro, where your head is super small, which causes all kinds of developmental problems. So what the, what the build, so Zika,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This, uhm, like carbon dioxide and lactic acid solution to mimic human breathing and sweat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, zapping the bugs, killing them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it can actually lure insects within a radius of up to two and a half kilometers. This is something I've always wondered about. Like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do mosquitoes find us? So there you go, apparently it's by smell. Now, to be clear, always wondered about, doesn't mean like it was a burning desire because I could have just googled it. It's just something that kind of like, if you're, ah, hang on, how do they find me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so it can lure insects within a radius of two and a half kilometers and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There ha- are some concerns that have been raised. So two of these billboards have been installed in Rio de Janeiro, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More people to be bitten depending on where it is placed. And, uh, just give me one second. Brandon, who did you give that phone to? Okay, can you bring him back here? Thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I've actually got a pretty cool graphic for how it works here. I'm just gonna go ahead and pull this up on the screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, a device spreads in the air in a solution containing the, uhm, lactic acid and CO2. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it spreads in the air this solution. The combination of the two substances attracts mosquitoes at this, uh, claims a distance of up to four kilometers. Fluorescent lights enhance this attraction, facilitating the approximation, I think they mean approach of the mosquito. And then as


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 80's flies, on average, four feet above the ground. The catch mechanism was designed to be there, it draws the mosquito into the paddle, and after being stuck, the mosquito dies dehydrated. So it doesn't zap them, in the sense that it, like those, uh, like those awesome paddle bug zapper things, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does kill them eventually, which I guess is, uh, is all we can, all we can really ask. Uh, hey Brandon, where is he? Okay, did you tell him to move quickly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't hold on. I'm streaming from that phone. I'm dropping frames. He needs to get over here right away. Thank you. Sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this was originally posted by Yamiyuki-senpai.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is pretty much the worst news ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LeEco, uh, formerly, who formerly went by the name of LeTV, LeTV, revealed their Le2 range of smartphones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of which have a three and a half millimeter jack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So instead, the phone supports USB Type-C digital headphones through the charging port. They also launched a USB-C earphone skew and a USB-C headphone skew to accompany it. So let's have a look at the original article over on Android Authority, which I would, I would love to click on, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So after all the rumors about Apple launching a phone with no headphone jack, it turns out


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That an Android phone maker is going to be the first one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really, I get, I get a kick out of, like, what are they, why? Why? What is the point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I, I get that they're kind of going, oh yeah, well, you know, we're going to build this ecosystem with like earphones and headphones that work with it, but it's like such a hassle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like what if, I don't know, say for example you were sitting down to stream the WAN show and you wanted to quickly plug your, your headphones that you normally use with your phone into your streaming computer so you can check audio levels, it's, oh right, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bummer, it's USB type C, I guess. It's just not gonna work with anything. And it's one thing if you were to release like, some kind of a killer pair of headphones that rounds out the ecosystem and makes it make a ton of sense. But... That's not... Yeah, that's not...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gonna help if you're just some random android maker and your headphones and earphones, to be clear I haven't heard them, but are probably terrible. Like probably just, just awful. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go ahead and, uh, see if we can find any pictures of the device. That would be, that would be super cool. I'm gonna see if Pocketnow has pictures up on their site. But, uh...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean there's really not much else to say, it's not, it's not a product that I would be, that I would be especially interested in one way or the other, and unfortunately the Pocketnow article is not loading for me at the moment, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of products that I'm not particularly interested in, this was originally posted by lots of unexplainable lag on the forum, and the original article here is from MacRumors.com, but Apple has updated, not the MacBook Air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not the product we were actually hoping that they would update, you know, one that has enough thinness, but maybe not quite as much thinness, but, you know, good battery life, but maybe not as good battery life, but actually has ports on it. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they didn't give the MacBook Air a Retina display, so it really does look like the MacBook Air is a, is a, is a forgone conclusion at this point. I think it's a, it's a done deal, it's gone. They have updated the 12-inch MacBook. So now...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has Skylake CPU options, a longer battery life, and a rose gold option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, 6th generation Skylake dual-core Core-M processors up to 1.3GHz, HD graphics 515, delivering 25% faster performance for all the games that you will presumably be playing on your MacBook, faster PCI Express-based storage, okay, I can't complain about that, an additional hour of battery life, faster 1866MHz memory, oh, wow, oh, it's available in rose gold!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, in addition to the existing gold, silver, and space gray colors, unfortunately,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While I wasn't gonna buy one anyway, I find that frustrating just because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the sake of the people buying this product, it would be, it would be considerate of Apple to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, care about them enough to give them some ports to use, you know man? I just, I feel bad for the Apple people, Apple people buying this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna see if refreshing Google Docs helps here. This is driving me crazy. It's doing that weird thing where there's like the line you're trying to click on and you put your mouse there and it clicks like an inch higher or something like that. Let's see if uh, yeah there we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reloading the page help. So Euronews.com has the original article about Mitsubishi Motors faking


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're fuel economy tests. They actually got raided. Like, go figure. Raided.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So their shares plunged on Thursday following an admission.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they ended up losing 3.2 billion in market value over a mere three days. They apologized on Wednesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] saying they will make a sincere effort to make amends to car owners and transport minister- the transport minister of Japan wants Mitsubishi to look at the possibility of buying back the cars. That could be even more costly than what Volkswagen went through. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mitsubishi will also have to pay subsidies granted to consumers if data shows its cars do not meet the necessary fuel economy standards. I mean, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what the takeaway here is. Part of the takeaway is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These companies are bad and they did really bad things and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I don't know if that makes some bad people, sometimes good people do bad things, but faking fuel economy ratings is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty bad, uhm, I mean, you're lying to your customers, you're lying to your government, you are polluting the economy, or, you're polluting the environment more than you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But with that said, it also raises questions about the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About whether introducing laws governing how much, you know, CO2 or how much, or governing the emissions that cars can output, whether that's actually the solution or if you have to do something else. I mean, I've argued for a long time that here in Vancouver,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Public transit is basically unusable. If you have a job, public transit is, is pretty difficult to use. Vancouver is such a suburban sprawl. It just, it just spreads in all, in all directions rather than building up like many other cities have and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our infrastructure is just awful outside of the, of the urban core to the point where something that is a half an hour drive could easily take two, two and a half hours on a bus. And if you value your time


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At all, like you could even just work another job in the four hours of commuting that you save per day in order to have a car and not just sit around on the bus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So rather than just kind of tell companies, hey, you have to have lower emissions, you know, maybe making changes that make it easier for people to use masks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Transit would be a better solution, but of course that's very easy for me to sit here and say, I mean, I don't actually have to run the country, thank goodness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh, more bad news. Posted by Phoenix arising on the forum, and the original article here is from CNN Money. Microsoft's profits fall by 25%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not an insignificant amount. Sort of a, sort of a lousy quarter, but not all of this is necessarily entirely their fault. So Q1 2015, 5 billion dollars profit. Q1 2016, 3.8 billion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But part of the reason that it fell 25% was due to a higher than expected tax rate and a strong US dollar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, sales are down from 20 points- 21.7 to 20.5 billion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, sales for consumer versions grew 15%, enterprise version declined 11% for Windows. Although this, I don't know, could have something to do with that we got a consumer version of Windows that was not accompanied by a server version.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Server 2016 is nowhere to be found yet. If anything, it's probably...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm kinda happy that, you know, enterprise sales only declined a little bit. Like I personally would be trying to put off a server purchase until Server 2016 shows up if I had any say in the matter at this point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Office 365 consumer base reached 12.4 million in Q1 2015 and grew to 22.2 million in 2016. I will say I contributed to that. I love Office 365.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Azure is up, uhm, Xbox is up, so basically...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, OS is, OS is not growing the way they would like, and they were taxed higher than they thought. I'm glad they're at least paying taxes. So, you know, good guy Microsoft, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't really understand what they're hoping to accomplish by that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I can see how investing in infrastructure


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Throughout the province, like public infrastructure could help the adoption of an EV. Cause in my mind, like as someone considering purchasing an electric vehicle, I would love


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To buy an electric vehicle. It's just not really in my price range right now. But as someone considering it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After I've spent the 25 to 30 thousand dollars on an EV, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hundreds more or even, you know, low thousands more for the charging station.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is not the end of the world. I mean, you think about it like a phone, like if you walk in and you buy a $500 phone, are you that concerned about the $30 charger? At the same time, like I consider it part of the purchase, part of the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my decision as far as what the government can do to help would have more to do with mandating businesses or installing these charging stations in public places than to do with whether or not I have to buy a charging station to put in my garage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this again smacks of the government thinking that just introducing a regulation is going to somehow


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stomach it, and they're making consumers who don't necessarily want one and aren't ready for one and could have easily waited another five years when they were ready for a new car and bought one then when it's cheaper, and they're making them foot the bill instead of just investing in the infrastructure themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of investing, you know who invested in our trip to PAX East?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, my friends, our friends, from- oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopefully I can find my lower third. Come on, lower third! Wooo! Let's see what path it's supposed to be in. Of course. Of course mousing over it didn't help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course, I do understand why that's not working and there is basically nothing I can do about it right now. So, our sponsors were Logitech G and Discord. So Logitech G you're probably familiar with. You can check out their new G900 wireless gaming mouse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over at Amazon.com, I will link that in the Twitch chat. This is the one that Luke went all the way to Switzerland to check out and basically see how it is that Logitech validated it to run as


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Effortlessly, and as stably as a wired mouse, even though it doesn't have a wire. Pretty freaking cool little piece of technology. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're also showing off what they're calling the Great Wall of Logitech G's using their G810 keyboards. So they created original 8-bit content to show on the wall through the use of their keyboard's LEDs. You can actually find a short clip, uhm, here I'll...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Try and fire this up for you guys here. Yep, there you go. So this is on, this is on Nvidia's Twitter. Pretty freaking cool. It's hard to even tell that that's not a proper display from here. Like, look at it! They're all keyboards!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is awesome. Which, like pretty much everything in my life right now, reminds me of the HTC Vive. There's a really cool minigame from Valve that has you use the controller as a ship, kind of like an old arcade style, uh, you know, uh, upscrolling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like a spaceship shooter game, except the controller is the ship, so you can like move around in 3D space and like fire at bad guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Freakin', freakin' sick. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Soooo, if you're watching this on YouTube, there should be a full video by the way linked in the video description so you can check that out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also sponsoring our trip to the show, and this is a brand new sponsor, is Discord. It's the all-in-one voice and text chat for gamers. It's free, secure, and works on both desktop and your phone. They are promising to never make you pay to use it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They plan to monetize in the future with optional cosmetics like themes, sticker packs, and sound packs. So similar to like, uh, what someone like a SwiftKey was doing, where they actually switched from a paid model to a free model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're encrypted server to cl- They are encrypting server to client communications to keep your IP address safe. That sounds pretty cool. And they have built-in DDoS protection with automatic server failover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They promise minimal CPU usage and it's optimized so your game's performance doesn't tank when you use it. They claim it takes 10 seconds to set up and doesn't require drivers or any weird setup configs. So if you guys wanna try it out, I've got a link over here that I'm gonna post in the Twitch chat or if you're watching this on YouTube, then you can go ahead and, uh, you can check that out at the link in the video description.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it looks pretty freaking good. I know that Nick and Colton actually did their conference call with Discord about this deal on Discord, so. Yeah, I mean, what else would you use?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, uh, you know, hey, do you wanna, I dunno, use the telephone? Telephone? Ancient technology? Uh, what else we got here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other sponsor, lynda.com, if you somehow...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are not familiar with lynda.com by this point. Then I will tell you about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Linda.com is used by millions of people around the world. They have more than 3,000 courses available and they are taught by experts in the topics of things like web development, photography, visual design, video editing, business, uh, productivity application use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty much whatever you could want, you know, Excel, Wordpress, Photoshop, whatever you could want to kickstart your hobby or your career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have new courses that are added every week and they've got a lot of new tools that they've added since we have been, uh, since we've been doing these pods for them actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now that I think about it, things like being able to download the videos and do them on the bus when you don't necessarily want to eat up your data connection on iOS and Android. Uh, the ability to, uh, skim along a transcript of the course and then just click to a point on the script and then have the video pick up at that spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, what else we got here? We've actually got a fair number of, uh, fair number of topics. Microsoft has finally ended production of the Xbox 360. So there you have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Originally posted on Kotaku. If you wanted to buy an Xbox 360.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before today was the time. Well, there'll probably still be some on shelves, but. Ten and a half years. Ten and a half years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Xbox 360 launched and we are finally, finally rid of it. Uh, Microsoft's Phil Spencer wrote a few paragraphs about its success, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and the Xbox One is actually adding support for backwards compatibility support for some 360 games. So there you have it. There you have it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Xbox 360 is finally no more. I'm actually probably gonna pick up a handful of Xbox 360 controllers before like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting peripherals for Dying Console Madness happens. I want to get a couple that are in good condition, because it's still my favorite controller. I really don't like the shape of the DualShock, and I really do prefer it to the Xbox One controller, so. There you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is interesting. Original article here is from Anontek.com. WD is introducing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] WD gold hard drives. They have added yet another color. It's available in capacities from 4 to 6 to 8 terabytes, and effectively pretty much replaces the SE lineup. Uhm, what was I seeing? Oh, that's funny, I derped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and pretty much replaces their existing SE lineup, which was kind of like, uhm, like a high capacity enterprise, but not as expensive as RE, not quite as expensive, not quite as high performance as RE, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically the, the color branding is almost complete. I'm surprised they called it gold. I would have thought they would say gold for R-E.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, this is, this is just kind of funny. This is originally, uh, original post here is, uh, over on cbc.ca.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rust players outraged after half of them given female avatars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In some kind of attempt to appease SJWs, I suppose. Now, this wouldn't be that big of an issue if they hadn't been changed without the players even being notified and permanently. So your player just, boom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've implemented a feature that randomly makes your character a man or a woman. They actually randomize features for your current permanent character like skin color, limb length, and even penis size. So developers Gary Newman and Taylor Reynolds expected this backlash and addressed it on their community devlog. This is great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We understand this is a sore subject for a lot of people. We understand that you may now be a gender that you don't identify with in real life. We understand this causes you distress and makes you not want to play the game anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Technically, nothing has changed since half the population was already living with those feelings. The only difference is that whether you feel like this is now decided by your Steam ID instead of your real-life gender.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is really just the first pass of an ongoing rework of the player model. I'll continue to add variations over the coming weeks, which means you're probably not stuck with your new face forever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've got a decent synced workflow between the assets I make in ZBrush and the assets you'll see in game now, so it opens up a lot of scope to easily add or change features without a great deal of technical faffing in between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we heard that lots of people, you know, don't identify with gender X or Y or some combination of the two. And that makes them unhappy. So we thought, as a game developer, we'd take our customers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we would have them experience that on some scale.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we've got more details about the PlayStation 4K, which uhm, we don't know if it's the confirmed name. I don't know if we talked about some of this stuff last week. I believe we actually did, but we've got a handy dandy little chart this time, so I can go ahead and fire that up for you guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, 8 Jaguar cores, 8 more Jaguar cores, well no, exactly the same number of 8 Jaguar cores, in fact same architecture but higher clock speed, okay, GCN, better GCN, okay, uh, higher clocked,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, more compute units. Uhm, memory looks like it's got a bandwidth increase, but it's actually still the same 8 gigs. So, there you go. Uhm, yup.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is cool. So this was originally posted by Strider721 on the forum. The original article here is from the Verge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now to be clear, this is not CSGO. This is Counter-Strike 1.6. But how cool is that, right? Look at this!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's get some details here. So this is the work of, uh, programmer. Oop, sorry, I'm gonna close that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alabeck Omerov, who's experienced in making old PC games run on Android. He's created touch screen controls for the game. So to get it to work on your Android device, you download the sash, xash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's XASH, 3D software, have the games on your Steam account to copy the files across, and the port does apparently support peripherals, which is pretty cool, because with an on-the-go cable, I have actually tested this, with an OTG cable, and a phone that supports OTG, and just a normal USB hub, you can plug in pretty much whatever you could possibly want. Powered USB hub, otherwise you are definitely going to have issues running like, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Large 104 key, like RGB backlit keyboards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think that pretty much does it for the WAN Show. Thank you to all of you who went ahead and stuck with me through the technical difficulties on the show today. Really do appreciate it. I will see you guys next week. Same bat time. Same. Bat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, will I see you guys next week? I may be traveling next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a lot of, like, a lot of the team is traveling a lot. No, I- wait, what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, Brandon's like gone forever. Uh, yep, Linus and Ed are in San Francisco until, yes, next Friday. So I'll see if I'm remoting in or I'll see if I'm not, but if I don't, Luke will be hosting the show because he'll be back by then. This is the problem with like, you tell people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take your vacation, and then no one does it, and then you tell people, look, you're not gonna be able to take it in Q4, cause it's busy, and then everyone just takes off. Mind you, most of this is work stuff. Actually, only Brandon's taking vacation, cause he's not a team player. You heard me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Pentagon is interested in weaponized AI. Wow, really? Great idea. Haven't talked to Elon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was probably all like, this is a terrible idea, cause look at all the raining destruction it can bring, and they were like, okay, we won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I literally think the bot just banned like 80 people. Oh yea, guys, do not post them anyway. I think Ghost might have gotten his hands on... Oh no, I talked to him. Oh yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do not post Star Wars spoilers in our Twitch chat. Good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, what I heard and what I kind of theorized was that uhm, there's gonna be a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who are going to be spreading, uh, spoilers, which aren't actually spoilers because they don't know if it happened or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was going to say some theories, but I'm not going to because I think that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so BB-8 has a very weird movement pattern. You know how the head kinda like floats on top, probably magnetically, and then there's the ball that's rolling around and all that kinda stuff. That weird movement pattern is actually referential back to Jar Jar Binks. The weird movement pattern that Jar Jar Binks had, that is gonna destroy. Isn't that just coming through your phone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just playing through your phone. Okay, whatever. Anyways, so I think that they


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's AI now, and they figured out how to download Jar Jar Binks' personality and movement procedures, but then put it into something that moves on a ball, and that's actually what BVA is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, Millennium Falcon is probably now flown by a wiki, not Han Solo. Wookie, sorry, not Han Solo, because Han Solo, again, is probably too old, so he might have flown it like once or twice near the beginning of the movie, but by the end, it'll be flown by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, uh, what was I gonna say? How did you have it playing through the phone and your- It was playing through my phone? That's what I was trying to tell you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ghost, when the show's done, please tell me you've got some statistic for how many people you're banning. There's like three or four bans viewable in chat like all the time. This is insane. Oh no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically, if you register, if you register on the December 21st, so soon, up until January 20th, it's uh, free registration. If you register after that, it's only five bucks. So it's like actually really not that big of a deal. It only applies to like, I'm gonna say larger drones, but it's anything that isn't like micro. Over half a pound. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, uhm. That's more than ten million dollars to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was hoping you were gonna be like, oh, of course, it's because of- but no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that could be a wording thing. Yes. By CNET or whoever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, no, we're not gonna talk about that. There'd just be an internal website. Like, local network.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure all the police stations are networked together, like, on their own thing. Pfft, probably not. Really? Like internal police website?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that, that makes it a lot more clear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Canadian geography in 10 seconds or less. Your guys' is too big and too cut up and ours is too big and just not enough people are there so it doesn't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, social media could actually be more detrimental to a kid than like a porn website.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always, I always frame those things like, you could argue because I don't have a kid, so I haven't like actually deeply thought through these things, but I would be more scared of social media than others.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's even the small bits where you're like trying to give them a positive outlook on life and all this kind of stuff and like social media is largely just a tank of hatred.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My parents were like, you can have a computer, but we're gonna put it in the middle of like everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I heard this, I just assumed that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's really shitty. I just assumed that you would need, like, a parent's Twitter account to be, like, like, send an email to this person and invite them to the program. That's the only way that they can join. Yeah, too easy. Well I assumed that a parent could define email addresses. So like, don't let this person register, they're not old enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But yeaah, if it has to be some sort of ID registration, that's actually good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What makes me assume that it's not necessarily only that is they're totally doing literally all of those things already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're definitely doing wearable devices already. They already have exoskeletons. I'm sure they already have cooperative systems for drones and planes to fly together and they definitely have smart missiles already.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The work will be classified. So, RIP. Oh well. I guess that's all we really have to say about that because all the rest of it is classified. And we don't know what it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one understands how it's supposed to happen, but yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, would this mean that Linus Tech Tips would have to have a special team for the forum? Wow, I hope not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause like, a lot of those kind of sites aren't really gonna be able to survive if they need like, actually dedicated members.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can report them. If you're a forum user, you can report the private message. And if you report it, it invites us into the conversation and we can see it. Yes. But outside of that, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so moving forward, he, yeaah, anyways, this dude is like, really smart, but has an interesting personality. He was the first person as far as this might, I'm going totally off script here, but I think he was the first person to hack the iPhone in order to get it onto carriers that weren't AT&T. This is GeoHot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what his car looks like right now, pretty badass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's worked for a lot of like really crazy companies, but not for very long. He likes to quit, um, and then move on because he likes to, um, say that he knows everything and is much further than that company and then be like, well, this isn't challenging enough and then move on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is why he lives in his garage, but also why he does super badass stuff like this. Uhm, he had meetings with Elon Musk. Elon Musk offered him millions and millions and millions of dollars if his thing was able to beat the one that they're already planning on replacing that's in the Teslas. And this guy eventually was like, you changed the terms too much, so nope. Elon's email back was literally just, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were done talking now. Uhm, his self driving car is largely built, uh, built around learning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the prototype will learn from other drivers and right now has been learning from that dude. Uhm, so if you're gonna drive this car, hopefully you think that that dude drives really, really, really good. Uhm, really good. But theoretically over time it will learn from a large amount of drivers and should be okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My only problem with that is that it totally leaves room for error.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's actually like really, really, really, really good. But. But. It's still scary. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he grabs data from other drivers and learns from their choices. Uhm, right now it's learning off of him. It's a really interesting setup. And he plans on selling it for like, surprisingly really cheap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so you could buy this kit and implement it in your own car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what's really good when you go to a bookstore and you pick up a new book and it smells really good? Cause it smells fresh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to do the thing that is wrong in your country, but might be right in someone else's country, you could use TunnelBear. Or if you just want to cover up your tracks, or do whatever, I don't know, it's a VPN, it's free if you use 500 megabytes of data in one month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what tunnel bear's about. You can hide yourself behind a bear. It's pretty cool. I actually love the tunnel bear, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and it lets you tunnel to up to 16 different countries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and one thing that I like is they also have just what is the closest tunnel as an option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No perceivable speed difference in just browsing and doing other various basic things on my computer when doing that, so that was cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they've fixed the annoying parts of VPN usage for personal use. There's no need to mess around with port configurations, DNS or other router settings or whatever. You just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Download the thing, install the thing, log into the thing, press the knobby button onto on and then it works. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Squarespace! Build it beautiful! Someone tweeted them the other day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told you my writing thing, right? If I write a script at like 4 or 5 in the morning, it's considerably better. Like the length, it's like, it's tight, it's packed with really good information, it's funny, all that kind of stuff, and I do it really quickly. I can get down the whole thing in like an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently this office runs on that stuff that I'm not gonna name. The drink. Not alcohol. The, the, uh, uh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could say that Gillette has Razorburn. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Dollar Beard Club or whatever it's called. Yea, that thing. That's ridiculous, but I get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That sounds like, that sounds like snake oil. It's probably oils.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It might be a real thing, I've just never heard of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm sorry, I can't believe he used a calculator. He actually does do a lot of mental math. Just when you have 7,000 people watching you live right now and 180, 200 and something thousand people watching you later, you might as well check your math.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Producing and hosting and all that kind of stuff. And like, if you've been in high level education, you probably check, like, I found that even dudes that could do basically any mental math would just check their stuff on a calculator.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then if what they thought was gonna happen didn't happen on the calculator, then they wouldn't make sure their calculator wasn't broken. They would make sure that they input.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Correct. Uh, you can read the headline in the URL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, basically, as far as I knew, you literally just press in the bootloader, press backspace 28 times, and then it asks you for your username to access the Grub Rescue Shell. And then you can access all the things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had, like, a lot of people that I knew did this too, is you'd have one corded phone, and it was the old one that just somehow kept working, and you'd keep it in the house just in case all the cordless phones died. Yeah. And it was like, oh, whatever, you can use that one, I guess. While the other one charges, then just switch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's finally starting to get to the point where they're starting to remove home phone from forms. Sign up forms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you noticed that? No. Not a ton of them, but I've noticed a few sign up forms that don't bother with the home phone line anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be sure that when terabyte drives came out, I was like, wow, I can just get one of those and put everything on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. It'll keep everything forever. Now my like 4 terabyte hard drive, I'm like, uh, I kinda need like twice that amount of space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I don't know. One thing that I'm really interested in is the fact that we still have data caps and data caps are even like, the amount of data caps is increasing, not necessarily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At all. Uhm, game sizes being like all 50 gigs or above these days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I actually don't feel like I do. There's lots of things that I would love to do that I can't because I'm like, well, I would be way over my data cap and they definitely piss me off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy crap, I basically have to get an entirely new internet plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's really far. Yeah, it's like actually-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I didn't mean like a vacation cabin. I meant like a, we just don't want to be near society for whatever reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like did they one- did they run one line and then like flush it out or did they beam it all the way over?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, dial up farm, can't watch my videos. Yep. Straight up doesn't work. Yep. My dad has downloaded them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's not many times where I drop the like, cuz it's 2015, but like, how are people still on dial-up? It's like, actually, it's 2015, how are people still on dial-up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rekt. We're gonna have to make music for it anyways, aren't we? Do you know how the song goes? Can you play the song on your phone?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should probably look it up on your own time, because we don't know enough about it. Okay, thanks, bye!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, then why did that take me so long? Oh, that was actually wonderful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's interesting, I noticed, because I do thermal testing in the warehouse, and the warehouse doesn't really have, like, it has heating things, but they're usually off, uhm, you can track, like, what season the video came out in, based on the ambient temperatures in the warehouse, because in the winter it was like 16 degrees, now it's like 22, and it's like, oh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, definitely not. Like, I wouldn't expect it to be any different than their other launches, where they're just gonna go in and order their pre-order list, so. Okay, what do you think of the very front?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, when I first saw this, I thought it looked, especially probably because of the lighting in that photo. If you want to jump back there and share it. So I'm assuming it's especially because this specific photo is the only time that I've been like, Ooh, I don't really like it. But you can see right along the edge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the top it's, it's, yeah I can't really. So right along there you can see the line from the lighting and it makes it look like this super harsh angle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It looks like it was like angle folded in and like it was smashed into a wall and I don't really like that. But in profile pictures it doesn't look nearly as bad. So I think it's because of the lighting in that one photo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It lo- it looks like super bent in and awkward, and I know, like, uh, Brandon brought up the Panamera, and there are some Porsche cars that do kinda do that, but then there's something going on there, whether it's a grill or...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The registration plate will be there, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That being said, I think the rest of the car is very good looking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I liked that cool, I thought, yeah, so that's pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But windshield glass holds together when it shatters. It visibly shatters, but it holds together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and what someone just said, roofs aren't part of crumple zones, it would be your trunk and your front. That's true. Okay, that's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The things that kinda worry me, uh, outside of that are if you get t-boned. Yes. And your, your door, like buy something big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I can't share topics right now because firefax, firefax, that's basically what it is doing right now. Um, firefox has completely crashed. Uh, I can do it. Give me a moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wanted to double check, cause I wasn't sure. I assumed they would just go for that, but like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting that number, uhm, because like, I'm not necessarily sure, especially with a super affordable car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, that's going to come with a lot of its features anyways, like how much extra people are they going to add?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this thing gonna not come with air conditioning? No, I- That's what I mean, like, without a kit configurator- AC is usually extra. Really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I could, no I could totally see that. I'm just saying, like, just deciding on that number is maybe a little weird. Anyways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's it that bad? If you're going on a road trip, you could plan out supercharging stations. You could! 215 miles a day is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, if you're doing a family road trip though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would also probably be completely fine. Cause the craziest stuff I do is drive to Kitsilano and back. Which is completely covered in 215 miles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I understand that, I just think the amount of people that expect to drive, uh, 107.5 miles in one direction and back a day is a little crazy. Uhm, the amount of times people are gonna go on a road trip, it would be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very cost effective to save the money not buying a plug-in hybrid and just buying an electric and then just renting a car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so like, trim level would have to go down or something to make it an equal price.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have seen a motorcycle dodge an accident that another car ended up getting in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've seen it on the road. He saw it coming and just, I was just supposed to have stepped on it but that's not really how that works, uh, got out of there really quickly and then the car ended up careening into someone else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was even, I don't remember who did it, but they, they did a, uh, they did a video on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they showed that like off the line, it was really fast. They're like, yeah, you're not going to get the top speed at like a few miles of like this, this challenger or whatever. But.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, exactly, that kind of stuff, like you can do those things very effectively, which is probably all you're really going to be able to use anyways, because you're probably not going to take this car to a track, and that's realistically the only time that you'd be able to use that. So like, that's actually kind of interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm. One thing that I wonder about these days though...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is like, you ban this, they're just gonna buy smartphones without a plan and start using other applications.
