[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Constantly accidentally mashing the volume when I was trying to lock or unlock the phone. An issue I don't have nearly as much with the One, because you can wake it up by tapping on the screen. Another thing that the G2, which you don't have anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, does really well. Back to the, going back to a hardware home button really felt like a step backwards. Uhm, when I did my one M8 review, I talked about how I felt like it was a mixed bag.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I had never tried to go from my 1M7 to my 1M8 and then back to the 1M7 with its hardware buttons. And what I realized is that going back after having used the 1M8 for so long


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really felt like a last generation implementation. I've gotten used to them now. Uhm, the extra width is more noticeable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you would think due to the thicker edges, so that's the width of the phone physically itself, I couldn't figure out what I was talking about until the end there. Uhm, so, even though the HTC One M8 is quite long in order to accommodate those boom sound speakers, I, I really like the speakers, I'm willing to make that trade-off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And on the S5, that width really made it challenging for me to use it because of my small hands, but uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The shape and all that, basically, it was not, it was not easy for me to handle compared to the one I made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, with that said, everyone's making fun of the backing material on the S5. I like it. It reminds me of the first gen Nexus 7, and I think it's great. That's, that grippiness is probably the one thing that made the phone somewhat manageable for me, because I really didn't find the shape that easy for me to hold. The one I made, by contrast, especially the titanium version, the one that I have, is quite slippery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, another contrast between the One M8 and the Galaxy S5 is the crummy speaker positioning. It is so noticeable coming from a device with front-facing speakers going to something like the iPhone 5 with them bottom-mounted speakers or something like the Galaxy S5 with that horrendous rear-mounted speaker implementation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing that I don't like about the eye, because this button has other functionality, even if it's just a fingerprint reader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. And having the, you know, okay, so it's not the home button I guess that bothered me. It was the multitasking and the back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I like the way that things shift around contextually when I rotate the phone, whereas with this it's just one button, it's just always one button. Whereas if it's things that can actually change a little bit and can indicate, oh hey, right now you're gonna be lowering your keyboard versus right now you're gonna be going back within your program, I like that and I've gotten used to that. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, rear-mounted speakers are terrible, they need to go away, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Prompting about default, oh ho, this is good. I originally had this down as a really positive point about the phone because I had to look up not that long ago how to unbind default applications for actions within Android because it's pretty hidden. Samsung


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you actually bind something by default, it's like, hey, here's how you undo it. And the only issue is it comes up every time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but it came up every time. Uhm, I don't mind Samsung's keyboard, but like so many things in TouchWiz, I really feel like it takes up too much of the precious screen real estates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, gesture-based smartwatch waking is still terrible. I guess I'm shifting gears to the Gear Fit now. So I, the whole time I was using the S5, I switched from my Pebble to the Gear Fit, and there are some things about it that I like. The screen is beautiful, I think the industrial design is a lot better than the Pebble, but gesture-based waking is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Terrible. And if you're gonna have gesture-based waking, make it a flick like pebble to turn on the backlight. Don't make it this contrived thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Samsung had every opportunity to just make it so I can flick it or tap it in order to see what's on the screen, and they didn't do it. It's just asinine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the battery life on it is good enough that they should at least give you the option because it lasted a good five or six days in the default scheme where the screen was barely ever on. And if it was on more often when I'm just waving around and I only got two or three days out of it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could probably live with that a lot more than I could, you know, having the screen on all the time and having it, only getting like one day out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That it's actually uncomfortable to reach. So having that chin bar on the one is a more natural position for the hand versus trying to force your thumb and contort it down here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as much as the chin bar was something I complained about in my 1&8 review, a couple of things. So number one is I get it now, and number two is when I complained about the unevenness of the keyboard in landscape mode, someone pointed out, hey Linus, if you just went this way,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you'd have your software contextual buttons move to here, and the chin bar here, and it would actually be centered again. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good design on the 1- I realize I'm bringing up a lot of good things about the 1M8 in my S5 impression.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I figured out what I don't like about TouchWiz because it's really not that slow anymore. Oh yea, so this was the note that goes along with that information density thing. Information density is so low. The stock messaging app makes me crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In spite of the larger screen and no on-screen buttons, there are actually fewer texts on-screen compared to SenseUI.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? And I mean, if you look at the way that they've talked about some of the things that they do, how it's like old people optimized, maybe that's what it is. Maybe that's why I don't like it. I like really high information density on my screen. I like to use the real estate because I can see just fine and I can, I can press things accurately, but maybe TouchWiz just isn't made for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep. But that doesn't change the fact that your text app, just, everything takes up too much space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can get a different text app too of course, but why load it with these things?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, text size scaling doesn't even help much because in things like the settings menu, uhm, UI elements are still huge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, why? I like, I understood with the original Galaxy Gear, they wanted to put like a camera and a microphone in it. It's like, okay, I don't agree with you, but I understand what you're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't reinvent the wheel. This is literally, like, like that is the most perfect use of don't reinvent the wheel that I have ever managed to come up with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, and the, the, uh, the vertical design of the, uh, of the gear fit is terrible. Because most of the schemes for it are right side up like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's two watch faces for it that are right side up like this, and once again, information density. They don't take advantage of all that screen real estate. What I would like to see is time here, weather here, the date here, and like use up all that space. Instead, it just puts like massive tall numbers like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no share to YouTube by default in the gallery on the S5. What? Which for a YouTuber like me is just infuriating. And you know what? Within the YouTube app on iOS you can't just upload.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that'll be something from my iPhone 5s review.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Samsung's small improvement is not enough when you compare it to, uh, Sony's latest phones, HTC's latest phones, and anything Apple's made in the last, since the iPhone 4, I guess, so in like the last 4 or 5 years. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, speaking of phones, this is so fantastic. I love it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, okay, so this is the Pi phone. It was created by a software engineer. Really cool. So cool. So it's made out of a Raspberry Pi. Here, do you wanna walk, cause I got this playing for them? Sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love engineers because, check this out, he built a cell phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, it's presumably his wife in the background. And he's, uh, calling the- So he calls himself. He calls his own landline. Check this out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then it's just a matter of time until someone turns it into not open source again, so whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, yes. So this was posted by Top War Gamer originally on the forum, and this is a Bluetooth ring. Uhm, should we, should we just show the video of this? Cause I think that demonstrates it pretty well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 150 bucks, I don't think I would pay 150 dollars for something that looks very elegant because of how well photographed it is here, but is actually super chunky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a finger. That's not even a skinny finger. This is a third the width of a finger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the video. We'll just, we'll let you guys check out the video. So do you want to talk about what your concept is while they check out the video?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like your idea. I think the functionality is too limited. It feels like 20 bucks? No, that's, that's why. Oh, so you want it to be cheap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. I think we're, we're a few generations of technology away from a smart ring that actually makes an ounce of sense. Yes. This one isn't it to me. I might order one just to try it so that I can tell you guys how stupid it is. I like the idea. Just like that huge like wrist


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wrist communicator sized smartwatch, the Neptune Pine. Uh, yeaah, it'll come at some point, I ordered it. They're still progressing, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And in theory, it allows a bunch of different stuff. It can be a universal controller, allowing effortless communication with all of your smart devices and your connected life, including phones, tablets, Google Glass, watches, home appliances, TVs, computers, and more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so the flat surface of the ring is meant to be, uhm, if it has a tiny capacitive touch panel with two programmable buttons on either side and then you can type in the air similar to swipe and the battery lasts for a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, a Google Glass type device that is way better and way cheaper that I can use to just kind of like do stuff quietly while people aren't paying attention. Speaking of Google, okay, hold on, we got, we got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two more topics that we really need to get to. The teardown? So one, posted originally by Nice Hat. I want to do this one first because I have a poll question that I want to ask you. Oh yeah, okay. Can you create a poll in the meantime?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're calling it like a park, but they mean park like the industrial park as far as I can tell, like not like with slides. So the idea is that the centerpiece is going to be a massive gaming stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically, you're saying that live attendees for esports events are like Vancouver Canucks fans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they're gonna have a hard- so your- your issue is they're gonna have a hard time keeping the seats full often enough to justify a facility that for this-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so, so, uh, 480 million just for the arena and the first phase, uhm, and then 2.8 billion total. And if you can only fill it up with, you know, 15,000 fans, like, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so if it's part of a wider gaming-themed park, like facility, would you consider traveling there for like a trip, as a tourist attraction?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, okay, let's say it wasn't in China. Would you consider traveling to something like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I wanna hear from you guys, is this another crazy building project in China where there's gonna be entire ghost, well they've already got ghost cities over in China, entire cities of basically


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unpopulated buildings, because they built all this stuff assuming that the money and the people were coming, and then they just kind of didn't. Is this gonna be another one of those projects, or is this a stroke of genius, and it's amazing no one did it sooner, and is this gonna turn into an e-sports...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, will, will it be a, will it be a success?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so, Slick's gonna post the, Luke, I haven't called you Slick in a long time, Luke's gonna be posting the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The straw poll, into the chat, very very shortly here. In the meantime,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was one other topic. Oh yes, Titan Z has been posted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so BrownNinja97 posted this on the forum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Titan Z was supposedly going to be released on April 29th, but according to Sweet Clockers, plans have changed. The only thing we don't know is why. We do apparently have some more details about the Titan Z. So we were looking at a 180 MHz frequency drop compared to the original 780 Ti.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sooo, yeaah, and we were looking at a cooling system that was going to be a triple-slot cooler. The first time we've ever seen a triple-slot reference cooler out of Nvidia, and I think AMD, I don't think anyone's ever done a triple-slot reference cooler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rumor that the speculation, and I haven't heard anything about it one way or the other, is that Titan Z


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was, was delayed because it's not gonna be competitive with the R9295X2, which is a liquid-cooled card that runs at the same speed as the full-fledged R9290X except two of them on a single card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Against the 295x2. It's a compute card. With 12 gigs of memory and full double precision


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unlockedness, like it, it's, it's, it's more of a developer car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and then they talked a lot during the briefing call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I remember my briefing call for Titan because I was, I was late for my badminton ladder because I had to sit on a briefing call for Titan and then I had to leave the briefing call for Titan and make up some cock and bull story about how my phone got disconnected so I could attend a different briefing for like a different region that wasn't one of my original options so I could actually hear what they were saying because I had to go get on the badminton court. But anyway, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but the branding was, was to the reviewers. It was very clear. This is about double precision, this is about CUDA development, and if gamers want to buy them, then great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it wasn't going to be competitive with a card that it was never really created to compete with, they're put in a bit of an awkward position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the bigger story here is I think this is maybe the end of the line of dual GPU top end cards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, a prefab liquid cooler to make theirs work. NVIDIA, the kings in my mind of cool, quiet, elegant solutions, not compromising on...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, obviously not going back to like the FX 5800 days, but of late, the Nvidia that doesn't compromise on the overall experience to deliver more frames per second resorted to a triple slot cooler in order to make this thing function.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that where we're at now? Is this, is this the end of the line? Are we at the physical limitations of the heat that we can remove and the power that we can deliver to these cards? And is it just the end now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can make the argument either way. I don't think anyone outside of Nvidia really knows what's happened over the last little while, but what we do know is that TSMC is not delivering smaller process nodes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's only so much you can do by tweaking the design with something like Maxwell to go, okay, it's more efficient per watt and it does perform better, but look guys, this is all we can really do because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then you want them to deliver a larger GPU. Or that. Even though it's more expensive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uh, yeah, let's do the poll results. So guys, the results are in. Will China's gaming-centric, like, thing, will it be a success? Most of you think no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually disagree. I disagree wholeheartedly. I think that particularly because it's in Asia, and I think that because it's on the forefront, it's gonna be the first one. It is gonna have the support of guys like MLG, where they're gonna be like, yeah, we wanna have every event there from now on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And once you make something into the default destination.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you kinda won, at least for a while, at least until competing facilities start to show up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there is something to be said, even if you're watching on the screen. I mean, think about going to a concert. Unless you're in, like, the first few dozen rows, it's not like you can see the pores on the singer's face. And a lot of the time, you're gonna end up watching the big screen anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, even though a gaming tournament is very much like that, you're not really looking at the players most of the time, you're looking at the screen, it's more about people attend live events for the atmosphere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I personally don't like having lots of people around me. They're loud and they smell bad, but lots of people like the atmosphere of concerts and sporting events, and that's what this'll be, even though you're still watching on a screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's about being around the other people, and cheering when the thing happens, and the crowd going, aaahhh! And I think something like this can be a big success. And I, I, I think the timing is right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think three years ago, I would have laughed at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Google Glass costs 80 bucks to build. This was originally posted on the forum by ShadowCaptain. And that's fine. So the processor costs 13 dollars and 96 cents with the wifi and blues shift.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they increased the bomb cost, they could put in a way better camera, they could do all kinds of interesting stuff, and still make a profit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, something that people need to understand, so anyone who is like, upset about the bomb cost of a product like this, it is not about the bomb cost, it is about, and for, oh sorry, bomb means bill of materials, so the actual like, list of things on a spreadsheet that go into it. And the, the 80 dollars includes assembly apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's not about that, it's about the extremely expensive engineers that you have to employ for a long period of time before you can actually release it that all need salaries. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like developers and stuff. And gonna develop for it or, or, uh, provide like massive media coverage for it or people who can afford to spend $1500 on something to try it, to be one of the first ones. That's who they, they don't want everyone to have one cause they know it's not ready yet. It's like Oculus developer kits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't want everyone to buy it. They say outright. They kind of did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of. But they wanted developers to buy it. They don't want every Joe to buy it and then like, do a review of how it, the pixels are big.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't want people to have a bad experience with the product. You'd rather just not have them have it at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so unless you have something else that you feel is incredibly important, we do have a few more things on here, but I think that's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's pretty much it for the LAN show. We thank you guys very much for tuning in. The weather's beautiful, so I'm not doing a garage sale today. I will do one again at some point. It's just honestly, you guys, Fridays are very tiring. At the end of very tiring weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this morning was worse than usual. I had to go to, uh, see an accountant about our, like, Linus Media Group tax filing and stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. So I assumed something. I was late to NCIX and then I was late getting back here. But uh, thank you guys very much for tuning in. We hope you enjoyed the WAN Show as much as we enjoy making it. Thanks again to our sponsors, Hotspot Shield and Asus. We gotta like, synchronize that better, just be like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, thank you to Asus for sponsoring the show today. I don't know how many times I've said thank you for watching, but I really am thankful that you guys watch. If you're tuning in late, we will have the archive up on the YouTube sometime, hopefully in the next sort of few hours. If not, it'll be tomorrow morning. It's going to be when we get a chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I was at Highlander Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday last week and I dragged my tired ass into the office for Wednesday afternoon and like wrote a script and I was like, zombie-descripting. And then I had Thursday before it was Friday where I go to NCIX and then do WAN Show so it's a total write-off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was like, he's like, what did you do on your day off? I'm like, oh, I did gardening. He's like, oh, that's stupid, why? I'm like, cause I'm a homeowner, asshole!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, okay, that makes sense. I guess I'll let it- Just don't touch it. Just don't touch it. Get out. Leave. No. Brandon! Brandon, stop!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they talked about it at their summit, you can't actually buy one yet, but it's coming soon, and this is exciting for a number of reasons. Also in the news this week, 1080p 60fps is, and I quote, a transformative experience. Finally a game to hope for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sur- no I'm not, uh, this is what the console people who think that 30 FPS is enough would be doing. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that didn't work. Nope. I have to change the settings. Do not remember playback position. And we're back. And back again. And there we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also a sponsor of the show, and this is a new sponsor today, is Five Four Club. They actually have a special Fourth of July deal, which we'll tell you more about later on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen to me talk about it later, the point is Five Floor Club is good and we have a special 4th of July deal for our American friends. And also the Americans that we hate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying, I'm sure there's gonna be one American that I can't stand. I mean, Bieber, he's basically American now. He doesn't live here anymore. He's yours now. Okay, so let's move on to our very first topic of the day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 850 Pro. 50 Pro. I'm used to saying-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Samsung had a global summit, they talked about VNAND, they talked about, well mostly they talked about NAND. So, what's the point of the 850 Pro? What's good about it? The 840 Pro has been on the market for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long time now, and as disappointing as it is that Samsung hasn't released a new, enthusiast, professional-grade SSD in so long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, no, it's disappointing that they haven't released a new one in so long, but the cold hard truth is that the A40 Pro never really got dethroned. Nope. Like it-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda did. There's higher capacity drives now. Uhm, there are slightly faster drives now. There are drives with better performance consistency.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Such as the Intel 730 series, but in terms of just like, defeating it across the board, the A40 Pro has held up incredibly well. Not to mention that Samsung's software suite enables it to perform even better, so you can do things like you can cache the drive with RAM and all that kind of good stuff as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Samsung has dropped the 850 Pro on us now and it's faster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's higher capacity, it goes up to 1 terabyte. It will potentially deliver higher capacities in the future. It actually lasts longer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is the first time we've seen that in a while. One of the big problems with SSDs as they've progressed throughout the generations is that newer manufacturing processes have actually reduced their lifespans. Now,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of noise gets made about that by hard drive manufacturers or just general, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's funny, because we always expected it to be, you know, the more, the more traditional guys, like, you know, an Intel or a Micron, to be pushing all this stuff forward, but, uhm, Samsung was the first to do TLC, so that's three bits per cell in their, uh, crap, I'm blanking now, what drive was that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think it was the 840. Anyway, yeah, it was the 840, so they were the first to do their TLC NAND drive. That sounds right. And they were able to achieve good enough reliability and performance to make an actual product out of it, and now they're the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With 3D. So, I think, I don't know, that's pretty much it, other than giving you guys some specifics. So we have a clicky link to the exact, uh, the exact specs here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But cool things about it are that the lowest capacity drive doesn't perform that much worse than any of the others. This is a 128 gig drive, so it doesn't perform worse AND...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The 128 gig model is the one that they have in testing, writing over 8.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So typically, whatever the lowest capacity one is performs the least well because it's not able to take advantage of parallelization in its reads and writes and then it also typically is not going to last as long because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just simple, it's actually really simple math. It's kind of cool how simple the math is. When you have a higher capacity drive and a lower capacity drive,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And each NAND cell has X number of rights of endurance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you write x number of terabytes to each of them, you're gonna be filling this, let's say you write up the entire capacity of this drive, and it's ten times the capacity of this. You just wrote every cell here ten times, and every cell here once. So a lower capacity drive is just inherently not gonna last as long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In theory, totally not- Okay, just forget I ever said it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five years was already, in my mind, pretty aggressive for a storage device. I mean, when you think about what a warranty is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is gonna work, dog. Be confident buying it. So for something like a computer, a three-year warranty is pretty good, because you're probably gonna wanna replace it with something faster by that point, or, you know, laptops, you'll probably have beaten them up by that point, or whatever. Uhm, with a storage device,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then maybe part of it is just the whole, the whole RAM manufacturer mentality. Where you know how every stick of RAM seemingly has a lifetime warranty on it? And maybe it's just for much the same reason. Maybe that's exactly it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ten years from now, no one's gonna give two craps about this, like, EDO RAM, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, lifetime warranty, if they really want some SD RAM or they really want some DDR1 memory, 5 years, 10 years, 25 years down the road, who gives a crap, we'll just give it to them. For the number of customers that are actually going to do that versus not having a competitive warranty with what the other companies are offering,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be interested to see if other guys match this. Crucial is such a conservative company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Intel is such a conservative company, I mean, they blew me away when they offered a five-year warranty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I mean, for Intel to be confident enough to offer a 10-year warranty, they'd probably have to be sure it's gonna last for like 50 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's talk a little bit about the changes that they've made. Now I talked about how traditionally, as we've scaled down the manufacturing process for NAND in order to drive capacity up and prices down, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but that gives them that better reliability and that better performance, and because they're stacking them, they can still scale capacity. So we could expect to see, as they scale the manufacturing back down again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I did miss something on my Blade 14 review, now that you're mentioning that, now that I'm thinking about it. The Blade 14 is an amazing machine, just a spoiler alert guys, that's actually gonna come out sometime next week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In five years, I've done it once, so let's just leave it at that. Uhm, but it's absolutely fantastic. Although, now that you mention it, the problem is that in order to make it fit in that amazing form factor, they've got one M.2 SSD. And that was all that was gonna fit. There is no two and a half inch drive cage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so you're a little bit limited in terms of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Storage! The most you can do is they've got a 512 gig...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Laptop option, and then you have to basically buy that up front. Uhm, they don't even, uh, actually another knock that I did mention in the review is that it does not have upgradeable RAM.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't, I don't necessarily care about that. I don't use the tabletiness of this very often. I mean, in my Surface Pro, I think I estimated 2% of the time that I used this notebook, I'm using the tablet. That was probably aggressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the 870M doesn't throttle. That's kinda cool. Which is, it actually boosts a little bit. And that was, that was two days ago when it was super hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ow. Duh. Thank you for sitting on my headphones. You put it there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe that's how I knew. Why, what did you think I was implying? Alright, so we're gonna head over to our good buddy John Rettinger's website. Techno Buffalo is our source for this one. At 30 grand, the Tesla Model E will be the company's most affordable car. I wanna know when they're gonna release a Model T.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be pretty awesome. Or if they did like, if they did like the model, like, horizontal and vertical lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you can't, like, you can't say it's the Model T. Messaging Nick. Oh. I better make sure there's nothing incriminating here. God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so we're not exactly close. Uh, it's expected to be about 20% smaller than the current Model S.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, I'm pretty stoked. I mean, the big thing turning me off of the Model S is, uh, number one, that I, um, don't buy new cars, because I think it's insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then number two is that uhm, there's not enough used ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I guess those are both really the same thing. Also, it's very, very expensive. So I used Model E a few years after it comes out. That's gonna be when I go electric.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's gonna be cheaper constructed. I'll be surprised if they can achieve the same range with it. They're expecting steel construction instead of aluminum construction. It's gonna come out after the Model X, so that's the SUV model, so no time soon, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, word on the street is it's gonna be priced to compete with the Audi A4 and BMW Compact 3 series, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I'm super stoked on that. I'd love to drive an EV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, not as bad as Europe, mind you, but still dumb. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so let's go ahead, and this was originally posted on the forum by TopWarGamer. Still trouble at Crytek. This was actually a few days ago, it's not really like news news, but there hasn't been anything else that's come out in the last couple of days, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I checked it out, uhm, or at least today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So basically, uhm, there were rumors that Crytek was on the brink of bankruptcy, and then they came out and were like, no, no, that's not happening at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but, uh, there are multiple internal sources coming out saying they haven't been paid properly since April. And apparently, uhm, an estimated, what was it, something like a hundred staff? Yeah, the studio estimates that around a hundred people have left, uh, after filing grievances.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, person, sorry, sorry, sorry, person familiar with the studio, uh, that about a hundred people have left after filing grievances. It's unclear if they're leaving permanently, if they're just kind of waiting for Crytek to get their stuff together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it really wasn't reviewed very well, and then they just launched their, uh, what's this thing, what's this game called? Prytek's new game, War something?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, yeah. So, so that's, that's, I mean, that's where they're at. I mean, they don't charge much to license their engine. And that's something that a lot of gamers are concerned about. What happens to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, but if they can't pay Crytek UK, then... That is kind of an issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think that's the thing that I'll both miss about the most and, uh, regret that they didn't stick to is the fact that they were willing to push the PC


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Became a big deal when you released Far Cry and Crysis back to back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What?! And it looked as good or better than those other games. Like it was, they were in the same class. And then they released Crysis, and then Crysis 2 was kind of that, but like, not as much, and then Crysis...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, uhm, so they got away from their roots, which was building really demanding, open-style games, and they got kinda samey about it, and then now they did like a super samey, you know, Roman game as a console exclusive, and you're just kinda sitting here going, okay, well, I'm sorry you're in trouble, but... Not making the right moves, dog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Like, they were all, they were all butthurt about piracy of Crysis. And so they were like, okay, well, uhm, you know, we're not gonna do PC exclusives anymore. And then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that the, I think that the number of those people who think they exist versus the number of those people that actually exist is, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know what's funny? Actually, after last week's WAN Show, when I said all that unpopular stuff about how pirates are wrong, the comments were hilarious. Cause people are like, well, there's no demo, so what can we do? And on Twitter, I'm like, well, just don't play. And they're like, well, we're gamers! We can't not play! I'm like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will need to sell it. There will be a free weekend. There will be this. There will be that. It'll happen. If you all just refuse to buy it and don't play it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I disagree with that because it makes gamers sound like pathetic addicts. Not like people who are making a conscious decision about how they want to live their lives. And I don't think that's fair. I like to give gamers a little bit more respect than...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so this is exciting. 25 gigabit and 50 gigabit ethernet standards, uh, being worked on. So a consortium has been formed, which, um, actually has some pretty big names, so I would expect this to go somewhere. Microsoft, Google, uh, Broadcom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so this is- this is probably gonna happen, but basically the objective here is this is- this is not gonna make its way to your desktop anytime soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, not for a long time. I mean, look how long we've been stuck with Gigabit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's that. But this is basically going to be for...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, this is supposed to exist as a tweener between the 100 gigabit gear, that like super high end enterprise stuff, and then the 10 gigabit gear, which is that also high end, but not as completely balls to the walls, uh, 10 gigabit stuff. What was that ad? Oh, I don't know what it was. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anyway, uhm, I think that's pretty much all there is to say about that. It's not exactly the most complete. If you have some other stuff that you want to talk about, then great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Check your Dropbox might go faster. Probably not. Probably not though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll improve efficiency, prices will go down in the long term for cloud-based solutions, blah, blah, blah, blah, all that stuff. But in the short term, not a whole lot. And we're not expecting any kind of technology based on these standards to hit any time in the next year to a year and a half anyway, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so this is, this is, this is actually pretty crappy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so here's an open letter from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Dear NSA, privacy is a fundamental right. And, you know what? This is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But basically what the NSA has been found to be doing this time is they're actually adding fingerprints to your online activities. So even though you might be using Tor Browser,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's difficult to track exactly what you're looking at and exactly what you're doing online. What they're doing is they're putting together the puzzle pieces of the people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who are accessing things like Tor Browser, and then they're building profiles of these people and turning them into sort of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't wanna say flagged, cause it's not quite that extreme, but they're turning these into profiles for these individuals that could put you under more scrutiny if you are attempting to maintain your privacy. It's just like, will this arms race never end?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, in a lot of parts of the world though, the way that people view your, your nationality actually has a lot more to do with your lineage and a lot less to do with where you're born and where you're from. So me saying, me calling you half American probably makes perfect sense to our European viewers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you're half Irish even if your dad and mom spent their entire lives in France. If they're of Irish descent, you're half Irish even though you've never set foot in Ireland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's not, it's not any individual's fault, I don't think. No. It's just, things are kinda crappy down there. Okay, so the really, the really horrible thing about this whole latest NSA thing is not only are they looking at people who are using Tor Browser, they are looking at apparently Linux Journal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is one of the publications that is getting you fingerprinted. Really? Linux Journal?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because someone has a passion for open source...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Operating system kernels. Does that really mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, okay, so, so Tails is an operating system that basically leaves no trace on the computer that you had, you were running it on. So you can run it on an SD card or a USB drive or even a live CD. Uhm, and, you know, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These technologies, Tor and Tails, do exist for the purpose of hiding your tracks, and yes, Linux Journal does talk about these things, but that doesn't make them an extremist forum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just for, for the lols. Guys, I want you guys to Twitter blitz us examples of- No, not straw poll. I wanna Twitter blitz this. So I want you guys to Twitter blitz us examples of-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, privacy that you think people should have, that they're not allowed to have, like the ability to browse websites without people going through their internet history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And privacy that people have that you don't think they should have. I mean, hot button topics like this include things like, uh, gun ownership registry, for example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I just wanna hear your guys' opinions. We're not gonna be like, okay, yeaah, you're right, you're wrong. But, the thing about privacy is that there are, there are places you have to draw the line. Like for example, okay, so let's say anonymity on the internet. Should you be allowed to be anonymous in certain places?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, you can walk around on the street with sunglasses. You walk into a bank with sunglasses, and your hat pulled down to here, that's a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just think about it. Just think about it for a second. Which are not the same at all. The bank and the internet. It doesn't matter. I'm not talking about just the internet and the bank.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so like for example, you are allowed to draw the shades over your house. But if you were to set up a 25 foot high wall around your property, that would raise eyebrows. You know, you got building code or whatever else, but basically you're not gonna be allowed to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I mean, things like, okay, like, things that I don't think should necessarily be allowed, uhm, extremely dangerous animals that aren't correctly contained.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, people would argue, well that's my privacy, that's my security, I'm protecting my privacy. But, you know, you see enough stories in the news about these dogs getting out, mauling children, that it becomes a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having a dog isn't the objection here. The objection is fortifying your house. So for example, where I used to live, we had a drug dealer family living across the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their animals were friggin' dangerous. They were dangerous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think putting a moat around your house and putting like starving dogs between the moat and your front door is dangerous and wrong. Even if it's for the sake of your own privacy. I think you're allowed to put a moat around your house if you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably not actually. I think it depends where you live. Call before you dig. BC one call.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I just don't think you can. Okay, in suburbia you definitely can't. No, because you're gonna hit something. I can't even paint my house a certain color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spam Jazz says, I think the rules of the real world should be applied to the internet. It should be treated as a place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Igor figures if it affects someone else, then privacy is not protected. If it's a personal preference or something like that, then basically do whatever you want. I mean the example of that is the fact that you're not allowed to taint your windshield.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's one of those things where where is the line? Because there are places where I don't think you just plain old have the right to not be seen or heard by anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder if you could, in certain- again, you can't even paint your house certain colors. I wonder if you're allowed to-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then again, and oh, this is interesting, if you were to blackout blind your house, put a 25 foot tall fence around it, put video surveillance cameras around it, would you then be surprised if the cops took an interest in your house? Is the NSA any different?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So how would they take an interest without intercepting your traffic?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, okay, and if in fact, if you read the terms of service of the sites that you use, it's very likely that they tell you that they can use your data for whatever they want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there you go. You should be able to look at whatever sites you want, just not what they want you to look at, but to a point. I mean, I think, uh, something that was really, that was something that the article brought up, that was yet another facet of this. Just, the point of this whole conversation is just think about it, guys. I'm not,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is wrong, or this is right, or whatever else. The point is just to think about it, because think about the people who might legitimately need the privacy that something like Tails affords them. People who are not in America even, where they have relative freedom, and at least the police mostly can't just shoot them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you know, where, where they're trying to fight against a truly oppressive government, and now all of a sudden, the NSA is collecting this data, sharing it with who knows who, and now that could put them in danger, just because they're trying to protect their privacy that they legitimately needed to protect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so you need to be able to look at whatever and say okay. You need to rephrase the dog sentence a bit better. I think we handled that. The point is dangerous dogs. I'm not saying that a particular breed is dangerous. I'm saying a particular dog should be dangerous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you can usually tell. It's usually fairly obvious which ones have been told that strangers are bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anonymity should be everywhere on the web. It's like saying you can't blend into a crowd. Which is another really interesting point that the article raises and that's that the best thing that we can all do if we don't want to stand out as someone who uses Tor is we should just all use Tor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if you, by tracking everyone, you track no one. Or by singling out everyone, you single out no one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Europe, the policy about using credit cards for transactions. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should be allowed to control what companies can and cannot view your data. Yeah. We're not talking about companies though. We're talking about the NSA. We're not really a company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want the government taking my phone without a warrant. Oh right, so people are just giving a couple examples of things. Yep.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A number of years ago, people were having laptops seized at the border to check for pirated software.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like that's been a thing for a while and is totally over the line from my perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, privacy question up to the property owner says so whoever owns the property should be able to just do whatever they want there while using the internet we're totally free but like in real life everyone should set limits for internet use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Twitter is not a great, uh, medium for this. Because I just mostly don't understand things. Actually, Christopher Rivera, you know what, we'll use this as a transition into our next topic here. This is, this is interesting. Doop doop doop doop doop. Where did that one go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking for the right to be forgotten. Yeah, this is interesting. So, in Europe right now, let's just go ahead and switch over to my screen here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the, the EU's right to be forgotten, so there are some Guardian articles that have been hidden by Google. So the Guardian is a UK based publication, and basically,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that actually seems to raise a whole other set of problems, cause I can see reasons why this should exist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you don't want, I mean, you don't want your employability affected by some stupid parking ticket you got when you were 19.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But all those articles from before the verdict exist and no one ever updates that stuff. I mean, I can see that being the kind of thing that really should be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should be removed. That's a huge problem. But on the other hand, if you, let's say you're, uh, let's say you're, uh, a politician who's involved in scandal after scandal after scandal, and your local constituents can't search for information about it because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just go, okay, well I don't want to be searchable. And that's probably an extreme example. Like, let's say not a politician. Let's say not a politician. Let's say, uh, you know, an executive within a company instead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the other, the board of directors might want to, you know, have a look at what kind of guy is this. I mean searching for people on the internet, whether, whatever you like about it or dislike about it. Then again,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what it's doing is it's making the information less accessible to the average person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then the flip side of that is should my employability be affected by, you know, uh, here, here's an example. Should my employability be affected by a DUI?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could dance all day on that topic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't drink either. So I could easily just be like, you know, yeah, people who get behind the wheel drunk are bad people. But the reality of it is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if you, if you, if you eat a lot of poppy seed muffins, you can show up positive for opium, as an example. So, so yes, there are things that could be problems here, but, uh, you know, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of debate going on in the Twitch chat right now. People deserve a second chance, people are basically bad, and we should document the bad things they do forever. Uhm, I mean, it's, it's one of those things that never existed before. So we have to find new ways to address it. I mean, it used to be that, you know, an old newspaper clipping, or like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was how you like found old news that otherwise basically didn't exist. But the internet's been around long enough now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can find a pretty detailed history on a lot of people. There's a paper trail that exists digitally that will never go away. Especially people who are bad with their Facebook privacy. Even websites that are gone. You know, you can run around on Wayback Machine. Wayback Machine, Internet Archives.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know. Why don't we just do something light-hearted here? So, uh, this is, this is fun. Uh, do you what? However that's pronounced. Um, PC Master Race problems, man. Tried running Half-Life 2 at 8K? Some games just are not designed for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Increasing the resolution of the game does a lot. Resolution is more than just a number. I think we can all agree on that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so on to more light-hearted, uh, light-hearted PC Master Race news. Uh, Naughty Dog Developer says Last of Us 1080p at 60fps is a quote, transformative experience. This is posted on the forum by Tigerbomb8.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was posted by Rohit Kamar. Seriously?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They may have a point. I mean, play Arma 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And let's talk about laggy engines. Like, I would rather play at 30 FPS on Source engine than at 60 FPS on Arma 2. Like, 100%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly, I wanted to play it, because I was like, oh yeah, it like, pushes graphics on the PC. I'm gonna play this game. And I was like, doing the training thing, and I was just like, did you make it past training?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But this was just a pretty amusing article, basically looking at operating system market share, where Windows XP continues to hold a quarter of the market, with Windows 7 holding about half of the market overall, and then everything else splitting that remaining 25%, with Windows Vista coming in at something like a rockin' couple percent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I use it, but I intentionally avoid as much of the-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every time I open, I know two hotkeys on the, uh, on the computer that like are helpful for managing Windows 8. The Windows key for opening modern UI and alt tab for getting back out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The thing that only, I mean, it's not that bad. The only thing that really drives me crazy about it, that just makes me want to put my fist through the screen, is on a new install, trying to open an mp3. Or like, a video file.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, at least it's actually easier to disable than it was on Vista in 7. It just has a prompt that's like, boop, do you wanna get rid of UAC? No, not even-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's really good. I mean, there are a few things that drive me kinda crazy. Like user, okay, so user accounts. Okay, if I'm like, yeah, I got my user accounts here. I wanna like, uhm, I wanna change something about it. I can change my account type, I can manage


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whaaat? And then the flip side of that is when you're in modern UI and you try to do certain things, it just drops you out of it for that. And I'm just like, aww, really? It just can't decide what it is. It's broken, and maybe Windows 9 will be better, but honestly...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are saying after you learn all the hotkeys it's very usable. Nope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, after you learn all the hotkeys, Adobe Premiere is very usable. That doesn't make it intuitive, and that doesn't make it a well-designed UI.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just makes it usable when you're an expert. I mean, you can say that about anything. You know, mixing cocktails is easy, if you memorize.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Memorize every combination and, you know, get really good at doing it. And then it's easy, it's like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so speaking of which, Goodbytes has a post here about Windows 9 preview expected for the end of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, thank you for posting that, and, uh, I dunno. Anything to say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, there are claims about, you know, supporting switching between the Metro UI and the Window style mode based on whether or not a keyboard is connected. I kinda look at that and I go, look, I don't know, on Surface, you guys couldn't even figure out whether to use the on-screen keyboard or the connected keyboard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About 3-4% of the time, which doesn't sound like that big of a deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you couple that with the Windows 8's integrated on-screen keyboard is terrible. Like, it's not a tablet keyboard at all. It's basically unusable. And you just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so good news, Microsoft and Canon have, uh, agreed to just kind of use each other's patents and no big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like to see so much more of intellectual property sharing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where there was a lot of butt hurt there and it was just dragging them both down and they're both just like, yo, okay, ceasefire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, that one was a relatively short-term deal, but let's just, let's just not do this anymore. Uhm, and I'm just happy to see it. I mean, I don't know...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know necessarily what's gonna come of this. Better camera on surface 4, I guess we could hope for. I thought it was kinda weird. Uhm, maybe Canon will improve their camera software.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the thing about, the thing about these companies is that they have a lot of patents that go far beyond printers and cameras and operating systems. So who knows what's going to go on? I mean, Canon owns display technology patents and stuff like that. So who knows? But there you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah, every time I think about Canon displays, I wish SED had come out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was better than anything that still currently exists. And it never happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it was a patent dispute too. I think it was an intellectual property thing. Ugh, so mad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't worry, I hadn't forgotten. Okay, so it's sponsor time! Squarespace! Wooo!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, we talk about Squarespace a lot, but the cold hard truth is Squarespace is pretty awesome and for a number of reasons. Squarespace is the- and this is kind of funny because we were talking about how Squarespace is what LinusMediaGroup.com runs on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other day. And then, uhm, one of the, one of the sort of resident butt heads on the forum was all like, uuuh, something, I'm angry, blah blah blah, you're always talking about how great Squarespace is and the forum is slow and I gotta capture or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm just like, well, the forum doesn't run on Squarespace, so, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, web designer, even if you're not a graphic designer, they make things relatively easy so that normal people, as long as you got a little bit of computer savvy, can figure it out mostly on their own, and even people who can't figure it out on their own can use their 24-7 tech support to get some help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, they... Wait, what? What? I don't know. You know, it's funny, because you rip on me for saying stupid stuff sometimes. When sometimes, you just aren't necessarily following what I'm saying as opposed to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could. I mean, let's talk, let's talk Venn diagrams, okay? Could you run a marathon?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, a marathon is a specific thing. Just like a half marathon is half of that specific thing. 26 miles, I quit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe they touch each other. You know what? I want to hear from you guys in the Twitch chat or on Twitter. Are you a website designer who can run a marathon? And if so, kudos to you. Anyway, the point is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and it changes, so 42 more recently. Oh no, oh. That's older. No, that's newer. Uhm, so. 1924? Is newer than 1896. Oh, those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so the point is, right, Squarespace, they're giving away a website, all you have to do is tweet with hashtag Linus Squarespace sometime in the next week, and we will show off your website on the show, and then one of those lucky winners will get a free site for a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For those of you who don't win, you can visit squarespace.com slash Linus for a free trial, it's a two week trial, and you can get 10% off if you use offer code LINUS. The great thing about the free trial is that you can completely design your website, decide if you like the service, decide if the scalability is gonna work for you, and then you have no obligation to use it whatsoever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we've actually got, uh, I've got another one. I've got one to show you guys that's from last time we did one of these. Here we go, Linus is screen sharing. Last time we did one of these giveaways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put it on the top. So this is Pascal Brunner's website, evidently. I haven't actually looked at this one before, I just picked out one of them. So the idea is that it's super easy to build something that is as complicated or as simple as you'd like, and it should look great, perform well, and just generally be pleasing for people to browse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I happen to be using my touchscreen to navigate it right now, so, you know, the kinds of compatibility things that you just don't have to really think about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, oh, look at this. So we can, we can browse his travel blog. Apparently, haven't filled that in. Maybe, uh, maybe he's hoping to win, uh, the website before fleshing it out a little bit more. But the point is that it works, and it really doesn't take that much work for it to work. Which leads us to our second sponsor of the show today. FaZe, apparently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's actually not that different. He's gonna get naked, so no one's gonna look at me anyways. I believe in wearing my Wanshow shirt for the Wanshow as much as I can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so Five Four Club, are you a big fan of shopping in the mall? Are you a big fan of clothing salespeople?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you a big fan of what else is horrible about shopping for clothes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you a fan of, you know, keeping up with the latest fashions?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So 5-4 Club is basically the way to not have to worry about your wardrobe anymore. The basic premise behind it is they send you at least $150 worth of clothing every month and then what you pay is 50 bucks a month.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what's cool about that is that you don't have to think about anything. They assign you a personalized stylist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I thought they weren't necessarily, uh, I thought they were kind of pulling my leg when they said it takes less than a minute, but it actually took me like 54 seconds or whatever, something along those lines, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm looking for the numbers because I think I might have gotten them wrong. Which is gonna be terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, for $60 a month, you get $120 worth of clothing. There we go. Wow, that's terrible. Uhm, so basically, the thing that's going on right now though is for the 4th of July,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can use offer code Linusforth for $20 off your first package. So you're getting an MSRP of $120 worth of clothing for 40 bucks. You can cancel it any time. It's actually super simple to do. We had one person on the forum that basically went, yeah, you know what? The quality of the clothing's nice, but it doesn't quite work for me. I don't want to continue it and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are asking that. U.S. and Canada for sure. Yes. Not a hundred percent sure outside of that. So you're gonna wanna go to bit.ly slash Linus FFC and use offer code LINUSFOURTH.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, yeah, there's that. I feel terrible about getting those numbers wrong. I'm not necessarily that great with numbers. And then they went and they changed them around on me today. And I was like, okay, the 20 corresponds to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The list is actually kind of ridiculous. Like if you go on their site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dunno, I was just like, Mark Wahlberg is the sexiest hunk of man on the face of the earth, and I was like, he wears 5'4", so I was like, that's pretty cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've gotta be kidding me. Yeah. Huh! Yeah, he was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I don't know. Well, he can still be sexy, even if, uh, even if he has a bit of a checkered past. So newsflash, Linus is into bad boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so that's pretty much it. 5-4 club, and let's move on to our next topic, Shelly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every other extreme edition ever. Uhm, but what's exciting about the rumors for Haswell-E, so this is Intel's upcoming enthusiast slash workstation-grade processors, is that the lower-end chips, even the lowest-end one, so the 820- the 5820K, allegedly 5820K,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is going to allegedly, rumoredly be a 6-core. Up until now?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I specifically only need a quad core, but I really need 64 gigs of RAM or more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unbuffered memory. 64 gigs of unbuffered memory. I'm sure someone can find a use for that. Like if I, if I, but, but, but I don't need a 6 core. That's the one I don't understand. I'm gonna buy all that RAM, but I don't need the 6 core.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So those quad cores on LGA 2011 have always been a bit of a, a bit of a black sheep to me. Whereas now, we're gonna get an 8-core extreme edition. This is the first time Intel has differentiated an extreme edition based on the number of cores since the 980X. So we're gonna get an 8-core extreme edition, and then we are going to get a 6-core step-down, and then a 6-core, hopefully,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, $350 to $400 range CPU, which would be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the other ones are a little more difficult. Because you have to memorize different numbers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But uh, oh, the other thing is that the platform will use DDR4, so we could be looking at higher speeds, lower power consumption, higher density. Costs. Could be looking at, yea. Costs. But the cost is expected to be extremely high for DDR4 initially. For the adopters. I'll be, I'll be, I mean...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you're gonna get a quad, you're gonna get a, uh, an octa-core as opposed to a six-core.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're gonna have to pay a premium for it, but you're gonna get an octa-core, and then you're gonna have to pay a premium for that RAM, but you're gonna get an octa-core. Whereas buying older LGA 2011 Ivy Bridge ECPUs and DDR3 is probably gonna make a lot more sense, something like a 4930K, where you get a 6-core


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The division might have microtransactions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where they were basically justifying microtransactions, saying that, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there it is. Peter Moore from EA comes out saying the core gamers are uncomfortable with change, and that's basically the reason that people are upset about the changing landscape, which would be mobile gaming, microtransactions, and like, I see


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see why people don't like it. And he acknowledges why people don't like it and says, you know what, it's totally fair to not like it. But he just kinda says, well look, I think that what we have to understand is that THAT'S the way the industry is going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all you have to really do is look at companies that are just trying to maintain that traditional $60 title.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not fair to say everyone else. I mean, you know, there are MMOs that just have a subscription. There are- Which one? Actually, a lot of them have microtransactions now. Okay, forget it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The issue with the traditional way, with no microtransactions, so with just paying for it upfront, is that gamers are gonna be ultimately unsatisfied when that company can't afford to support the multiplayer anymore, for example, and the servers end up getting shut down. Now the obvious solution to this is they should let us run our own servers in the first place, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I dunno, maybe if they just give something back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would complain about Candy Crush Saga's implementation of microtransactions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yea, I'm not complaining that they exist. I'm just, it's more of an, like his quotes here are actually pretty good. It's more of an observation that this is really successful. And as much as that old, you know, that old guard's core audience of the more hardcore gamers doesn't like it, new gamers are being brought onto the gaming scene used to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have never, I actually believe I own Team Fortress 2 items. I have never once looked at them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying, I, I have, I... The one time I have...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So check it out, okay? It's, uh, $120 MSRP worth of clothing for 40 bucks, and if you sign up for 120 MSRP-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's 40 bucks, you should just try it for one month because otherwise I'm gonna look terrible. Whereas if like, I do the worst integration ever and the results are amazing, they're gonna be like, wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, I'm just a bad person, I guess. Okay, so this is posted on the forum by Symbolizer21. And the original article is from geek.com. It's gonna be approximately 70 bucks. And as much as this is like, kind of cool, uhm, I don't think it's necessarily very smart. This is like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a cooler, it's got 62 feet of heat pipes in it apparently, which is just expensive for no reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heat pipes are good for carrying heat somewhere. They're actually not very good for dissipating it to the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A-a-a-a-a cylinder is actually very efficient from an internal volume to external surface area perspective. Not because it has a lot of surface area and very little internal volume, it's the other way around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it, it, it has very little surface area, but it has a lot of heat pipes, and it's just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so the company recommends it for Core i3s and Core i5s only, but not Core i7s. And the thing that people need to remember about passive coolers is that they're just basically all a bad idea. Because a passive cooler


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would only use if you wanna have, like, an extremely silent PC. And if you have an extremely silent PC...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then you probably have a mostly passive rest of your system, and passive coolers are not designed to work correctly without system cooling around them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I refuse to acknowledge noise blocker because they're not in October. No, but seriously, noise blocker stuff's really good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they do look kind of amazing, but I might be able to beat it at some point. Uhm, speaking of beating it, I think that's pretty much it! We're gonna beat it!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll be back, same bat time, same bat channel. Apparently you guys mostly enjoyed the show this week, even though I thought it was like, the worst show ever. So I am just immensely grateful to all, almost 5,000 of you for tuning in and watching us. Thanks guys. See you next week. Bye everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, guys, Highlander content is coming very soon. First we have to beat it. Sunday night. Really? Really you're gonna say that? You know we're like, on TV basically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, oh, this is, actually I have something to point out for you guys. If you haven't entered already, speaking of Highlander, this is like, kind of a big deal. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so one of the laptops that came with us to the top of the mountain that we actually gamed on. Do we know whose it was? It's mine. Okay. Yeah. I played Doom on this laptop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the top of a mountain, against Logan and Kane and Luke and Paul and Kyle and all those guys. And then I had them all sign it. So it's signed by me, Logan, Kane, Luke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Paul and Kyle, okay? This laptop, you can win it. In our review of the G550 JK, I'm just gonna post the link in the Twitch chat. All you guys have to do is go watch the review. Badoop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go watch the review, pick your favorite thing about the G550 JK, post it in that forum thread, and then you will have a chance to win this piece of record-breaking gaming history. And, uh, just a heads up guys, Logan's giving away his too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So stay tuned for that sometime in the next however long. I think he's pretty busy right now, so there you go. People are asking, is 5000 viewers a lot?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think so. I think so. If 5000 people listen to me saying something, that seems like a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is kind of after-party material right now, isn't it? You know what, I actually, I don't think I- I don't-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Says with pleasure. Alright, I think we're actually done now. You're gonna go beat it. Peace, guys. Yeah, yeah, BEAT IT!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I crashed my car into the bridge, and then I let it burn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, guys, I about pissed myself when you said, uh, Barnacley's edition with tears on the box. I lost it. Oh my God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Founded that with a bunch of friends, wanna get that back off the ground, and uh, see where it takes me. If the internet rejects me and doesn't lovers me, well then I'll probably have to go back to the corporate empire. So, that's the point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, in the beginning, and I'm gonna go it alone, on the YouTube side, but on the development side, I've actually got a crew, I've got a graphics artist, another developer, and a PM, uhm, that are all involved on the development side. So, I'm kinda gonna be working two different projects in two different corporations. The Barnacles nerdgasm thing will be just under me, and the Opulent Studios will be under me, and three other people. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but as far as bringing somebody in on YouTube, that's not something that I'm like, against. I mean, it's something, it's something that at some point I'm gonna have to do if it gets to the point where I need to create more than say like one video a day, five days a week. I mean, at some point I've gotta be able to go do something else other than make videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm already feeling the pressure too. Let me tell you, not having a job to go to, it's hard to, I used to be able to come home and justify and be like, ah, you know, I'm kind of tired and I'm just going to tweet out, I'm not going to make a video. It's fine. Now I'm like, wow, I sat at home for eight hours and I didn't make a video. I better make a video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, I definitely get that. I'm gonna have the, I'm gonna have the same problem because I'm used to taking all of the revenue the channel's generated thus far and just dumping it back into camera equipment, lighting equipment, stuff for the cave, upgrades for the computers. And now I've got to figure out how to like somehow leverage that to support my family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, it's still maintaining that. So it's, it's gonna be tricky. That's why I'm glad I have time to make it happen. It's not gonna happen overnight. I'm probably gonna drift into the red before I drift into the black, but you know, I won't know unless I try and it'll bug the hell out of me if I don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you know, I was thinking about it and I was like, uh, I'm, I need to go find another job. I absolutely have to go find another job that whole day. That's all I could think of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, and it wasn't until I saw the positive feedback that I got on Twitter, on Facebook, even on the comments on the video that I posted, I was surprised. I mean, it's got a, it got like a hundred dislikes to 12 or 14,000 likes and I've never had that kind of ratio before. So the community really knows how to come together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, as long as you're straight with them and you let them know what's going on, it seems like they're, they're cool with it. You're always going to have the trolls. No matter what, you're always going to have the trolls that come out and say, Oh my God, you're a sellout. You're doing this. Oh, you've changed. Oh, I don't like what you're doing now. That's, but that's always been there before I made it a career, you know, so I still expect that to be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But by and large, I think the community is going to back me up. If they enjoy what I do, I'm going to keep doing it. And if they, if they decide they don't enjoy it anymore and the community starts to go away, well then that's my sign. I probably shouldn't be in this business and I should go actually get a job, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I'm trying to go in a unique direction with my channel. Like you guys know, it's been all over the map. I mean, you can find videos on how to put brakes on your car on my channel. I mean, they're there if you look for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But realistically, I'm going to stick with the 3D printing stuff. I'm going to get heavily into development though, and that's a territory I haven't done before because I want to keep my development skills sharp. I've been programming for 15 years and now I don't have a job to go and program every day, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And show them how to write some cool little tools and utilities. And I think that that'll be kind of fun because.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not going to go the conventional route of, oh, here's a tutorial, watch me type in some stuff. I'm actually going to make it kind of funny and really screw around a whole bunch and try to try to captivate people and keep their attention. And the other thing is I, the reason, a lot of people think that I over ham it up in my videos. I get this. They're like, man, you're trying to be funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thing you gotta realize, I am the slowest editor on earth, and the only way I can make it through three hours of editing is if I'm laughing at myself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I intentionally ham it up so that when I'm editing the video, I'm sitting here at certain parts pissing myself going, I really shouldn't leave that in there, but I'm going to cause it made me laugh or I'll cut it out entirely even though it made me laugh, but it keeps me entertained and that's what gets me through it. When I did the boring,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like unboxings, just open it like, hey guys, here's what this is, kind of cool and everything. I had a really hard time editing that stuff. It wasn't until I started just kind of playing around a little bit that I had fun with it. And then, then you kind of see that come out in the video. You're like, oh, he actually had fun making this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my God. Yeah, no, but I'm going to try, I'm going to try things out. I'm going to take risks. Like I said, I had time if I didn't have time. And just to clarify, a lot of people think I'm taking a huge risk here from my family because my son needs a lot of therapy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Realize I am not gonna let my resources get exhausted. I will go back to an IT job long before I'm in trouble. I'm not gonna push this to the last minute and go, oh crap, I screwed up, let's go live under a bridge. Ain't gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are, like I, I know, I know, I have a friend who plays World of Warcraft and seriously, the, the way I see him scream in pain when something bad happens in that game, it's like you might as well be like stealing his real stuff and like breaking his house and beating him with it, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I, I agree. I agree. I think, you know, I think people take that stuff very, very seriously. And it's one thing to get your items stolen in game if you put yourself in harm's way, but to have hacking involved to take it. I mean, I really don't look at it any different than hacking a bank account and taking money out. I mean, you're definitely taking away something somebody worked for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, right. You board their 1011 port and send them an uuuh bee packet and like knock it over and steal all their crap. Yeaah. It's bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm only a quarter of the way through. I really need to finish that now that I actually like have time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, honestly, I thought it was really cool when they first did it. And then I was like, nah, this isn't going to work because there's just, you don't have that precision. You don't, you get, you just get used to using the thumb stick after so long. And when you pick up a controller, it's just having something you have to constantly keep picking your finger up and moving it back and dragging around and stuff would drive me absolutely crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess it really depends how the games are developed, but honestly games are going to be developed either for a keyboard mouse experience or for a controller experience. I mean, until they start specifically making game profiles that like suit thumb touch pads, it's going to feel awkward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think what it comes down to is just what people are used to. I mean, you've been using the 360 controller and that style of controller for so long that it's going to be really hard to change over. It's just like keyboards, right? We all, we all use, you know, the standard, standard layout. We don't use Dvorak, you know, some people do, but it's like, who wants to memorize a whole new format just to be a little bit faster?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, every computer I had at work was a mechanical keyboard. I bought mechanical keyboards for my, for my two offices and my two workstations. Cause I just couldn't stand those little membrane keyboards anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just back the whole thing up and then cancel my internet subscription and save some money. That's what I did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, my NAS setup is three external drive arrays that each hold four drives. So I could have a total of 12 of those 10, 10 terabyte. That'd be awesome. That'd be absolutely awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You and me both. You and me both. I still run 2011 and I'm pissed off that they took out all the drive pool capability.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, for me it's the raw image stuff. Like when I do photography and my family and stuff, like a single raw image I have can be 65 megabytes for just like one raw image.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be honest, I've never come close to filling up my storage. I mean, I still have 30% free and I'm already ready to go buy the next generation of drives. It's funny you guys are talking about this because I was going to go buy a whole bunch of the six terabyte reds to replace my existing one and two terabyte drives that are in there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, uh, yeaah, I wasn't replicating the data across any of the drives and, and I lost some stuff that I'll never get back and that's, that's freaking horrible. So now everything in my house, I just consider half the storage is what I get because everything's redundant one way or another.

[Assistant] Okay, C and C++ require you to do all your own memory management and pointer precision logic and all that. It takes forever to get anywhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like C sharp because it's like in 100 lines of code, you can like, you know, you can make something cool and C and C++ 100 lines of code. Yeah. You can do hello world and like properly return something.

[Assistant] It's not that bad, but, but still, I just, I prefer language, higher level languages with rapid development and stuff, creating applications, stuff like that. If I'm not creating drivers, I'm not going to be using native code.

[Assistant] I'm not doing Java, okay? I'm not doing Java. No actually, I'll take that back. If I go work for Google, I will do Java. Just not right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, I got everybody over here doing like, doing C++. Nice. See out Hello World. Alright. Fine. Fine. God. These people.

[Assistant] Nah, Linus just keeps making me hungry. He said smorgasbord and I was like mmm, yeaah.

[Assistant] Hey, I wanted to ask you guys about something. Earlier you were talking about the water cooling stuff. And that you're gonna do. The whole room water cooling. Uh, I was thinking you guys should put a kiddie pool outside as the reservoir with a curtain on it and a shower. And literally just before the rads put the shower so you can just go out there and have a nice, you know, heated shower.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And no, no, it's okay. Just put a filter, just put a filter in there on your loop. You said you have an industrial pump, so just put yourself like one of those microbial filters on it and you'll be fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you gonna fully submerge everything? Except for the hard drive? The hard drive you can't though, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Cause the store, the store I used to work at like 15 years ago, they literally had a fish aquarium they just filled with mineral oil and everything's just dumped in there. Like they didn't even do it nicely. They just dumped the motherboard, dumped the power supply, all the fans spin it like one RPM and it just works. It's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The coolest one that I've seen was somebody took a foam box and they filled it with mineral oil and then they took the condenser out of one of those little windows AC units and just set it on the top and had a pump just circulating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The liquid over the top of the condenser. And it was just keeping it like, almost, almost freezing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it would be easy to find a window air conditioner that you could just cannibalize for something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only problem is with the, if you mounted it outside, you wouldn't have that cool air return. So the, I don't know how efficient the condenser would be. Cause I mean the whole window unit, right? Is you have all the heat exhausting outside and then it's circulating the cool air inside over the condenser. I just don't know how much heat you'd be able to get rid of. You just keep recycled, recycling that heated air. You'd have to duck the hell out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's what it sounds like. And to be honest, if they do it right, I think that's the right direction to go. Cause I think it's just too hard to maintain three completely different operating systems. I mean, so it, it makes sense, but as far as yeah, the, the layoffs don't make sense. Cause like you still need all that intellectual property. I don't get it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you talking about? That's the most intuitive UI ever. Just look at that majestic thing right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then there's places where there's duplication, right? I mean, there's a lot of places where the same exact features are exposed through the desktop or through the modern shell and that gets a little confusing too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't do anything. No, no, it does. It does. This is the thing people don't realize is that most of the modern applications that you're using are based on HTML5 that's rendered through MSHTML, which is the IE's rendering engine, which also has dependencies from the rest of the system. So a lot of that slowness that you're experiencing everything is all those subsystems coming online and into alignment so that it can render your experience. That's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the whole point is, is it makes it easier for developers to make an app because they literally can make an app that compiles at runtime rather than having to actually like know how to code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should probably rephrase that because that is a form of coding. I don't want, I don't want all the HTML5 docs to come after me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's the, that's the simple answer is whenever you have something that sits on top of a bunch of subsystems, all those subsystems take a memory. Like people used to laugh. Uh, do you guys remember, like this goes way back, but you remember that competition that was held in, actually I think it was held in Canada, assembly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you remember that when they used to have the competition where who could make the coolest program in five kilobytes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so back then they did everything in assembly. Every single instruction to the processor was raw. They would try to make these things insanely small. Well now we do the opposite of that now. What we do is we build a layer on top of a layer, on top of a layer, on top of another layer that's like a cousin of another layer, and then another layer on top of that.
