[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty crazy. Samsung was able to do it by harnessing millimeter wavebands. Which were apparently a huge issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can actually see that. Maybe not for the bullet train thing, but there's a billion and one other examples that could work, like, and the bullet train one's not a bad example, it's just, yeah, uhm, that, yeah, that would be pretty cool, because there's stuff, like, people were talking about the, the Valve holodeck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if that kind of by 2020, like they're talking this kind of stuff should be consumer, not necessarily the holodeck, but like Valve is saying that, uh, that VR should be consumer ready and good, like actually really good. And that's Valve saying it should be good. Um, in the next like two years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not 2020, it should be freaking epic by 2020. So, so, it's, it's, it's, the, the possibilities, all the possibilities, so yes, probably.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because VR, I'm kinda, I'm kinda, I'm kinda really liking the whole VR thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, uh, we could not access any Google services for some reason, uh, in our hotel lobby. And we didn't have Wi-Fi, we didn't have, uh, mobile connections at the time, so we only had Wi-Fi possibilities and we had to sit in the hotel lobby and somehow communicate with each other. So, hotspot shield, Google services, yay!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I go in different routes because it's so expensive. And people were like, oh, it'll save on gas so you don't wait in traffic that much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's actually really cool because if it did work really well, I don't know. I haven't tried it at all and he tried it a while ago. Incredibly cheap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Disabling it when you tell it to. So you tell it to disable your mic, you go to a different website. That website then has to have a pop-up that you have to not close and then it can record what you're saying because that pop-up's there and can record it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But like, the amount of times that that series of events will properly happen is, I don't think, very high. Although it is still a serious problem. I'm not saying it's not a serious problem. And I can't believe they haven't fixed it as they've known for four months. Which is kind of crazy. They say it's not evil, but it could very easily be used for something bad. And...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the second, the second there isn't that thing that everyone has trained themselves to automatically close immediately. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, uh, like, way more serious because there's gonna be a lot more websites where they're voice activated. Google now, if you go to Google's homepage, uhm, has their voice activation button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There, maybe on Chrome. Uhm, has their, yeah, I guess it would be Chrome, has their voice activation button. So people that are searching Google based on voice, that's now a thing. And then if it wasn't a pop-up, it would be a lot easier for that to happen. There we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the voice activation button just on the right side of the search bar. So if he presses that... Tell me about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so I think it's slightly sensationalized, as I think a lot of people freaked out immediately, but I really don't think very many people are going to run up into this, uhm, as people automatically close pop-ups, and I don't think that many people are using


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's not, that's my thing, it's not technical competence, it's people being annoyed. Pop unders are a completely different story, and what she's talking about in the video is a pop under, because you might not notice it, and especially with newer-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then how many of them are going to have a setup that has a mic where they can use voice activation research?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever done that outside of that environment? Which environment? The one we just had on the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's very true, and like, it will happen, that's why I'm saying, I just don't think it'll happen as much, and because there's gonna be such, in my opinion, a small demographic that you can target with this, I don't think there's gonna be a crazy amount of websites out there pushing for this, because when you're making a virus or something, you're looking at a large market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeah, I know, but like that's the whole thing where people were saying like, oh, there's no viruses on Macs. It's because the market was much smaller. There's more viruses on Windows, not because Mac was harder to write viruses for, but because there was such a larger user base, so your target was bigger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, so a few people that are gonna actually do this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like in the example in the video, she goes to a website where you can make a to-do list with your voice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do. I can't believe it hasn't, like, even despite what I was arguing with, uhm, they've known for four months. I can't believe it hasn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because like, no matter how small of an issue I might think it is, it's still an issue, and it still should have been fixed. And they're like, oh, it's not evil, but it can very easily be used for evil. They even have things where it can start up the recording based if it hears certain words. So if you say like NSA or Syria, it'll start recording.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can start recording that, um, and, and it can, it can like manipulate that text. So it can, it can take that text and save it somewhere else specifically be easily because it shows in the video, she says NSA in Syria and it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, bolds it, makes it big, formats it a little bit, makes it red. Meaning that you could pull those out easily with a different program and then save them somewhere.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's actually, there's, uh, there was mainly a while ago, uh, not really now as far as I can tell, a huge phobia about Made in China, well, there always is, but, uhm, because of security issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if they bugged the chip, or what if they did whatever, right? So, so people were worried about that a lot, and I see less people worried about that now, and now people are worried about that in America. Yeah. Which is like, how did you screw that up so hard? Well actually, we know exactly how they screwed that up so hard. Ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's, there's a few things that people are bringing up, which you already dismissed some of them, but uhm, like, like there's, the thing brought up a while ago, how the NSA had actually penetrated into Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google, and all, like a ton of different guys' internal networks. So like, does this even help?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You had to mention the Xbox one by name and you had to include the tag XB1M13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there was also a few other things, like in the guidelines for it, may not say anything negative or disparaging about Machinima, Xbox One, or any of its games. So it had to include footage, you had to mention Xbox One by name, and you had to be positive. No matter what.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the main thing being that I don't think too many people would have had a big problem with it if they were open about it. A lot of YouTubers did this without mentioning the whole kickback thing because I think it had to be confidential.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think there's actually somewhere in here. Yeah, it had to be confidential in some form. Uh, you must also keep details of the promotional agreement confidential in order to qualify for payment. So the idea is, if it was super transparent, I don't think too many people would have cared much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then extra things like, like the Oculus review that's coming out or came out, I guess for me, I bought that. And then there's a Wii U one coming out soon that was purchased as well. Like usually unless it's


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unboxing, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We actually bought it. Um, yeaah, I guess that's my take on it. So, uhm, problem or not a problem?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't actually think that's necessarily that bad, because... Because it's implied! It's implied, and, and, well, okay, the problem is, if you had something negative to say, just don't take it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so like, if, if you take, you can take this bonus, you have to say something nice. You cannot take this bonus and say whatever the hell you want. Candy. Whatever the candy you want. It's, it's optional. So that I don't necessarily mind. I don't like the, you have to keep it confidential, blah, blah, blah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's not the fact that there is one, it's the details within.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, like, the fact that they said it has to be positive doesn't necessarily mean that it's skewing the person's views. The person might have already had positive things to say about it. So they're not, I don't, that, that part I, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We didn't say it was doing a bad job. It's doing a quite good job of sitting there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, every single time we say this and like someone got super pissed, I don't know, I think it was the 780, super candied on the 780ti video because I said, uh, titans aren't really gaming cards anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Super candied. And I was like, man, if you bought it a long time ago, and you've enjoyed it this entire time, that's totally fine. I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm saying like, if you're looking into it now, and you're strictly looking to buy a gaming card,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I, I find it very odd. Now, now, especially with the 790 with like the crappy paint overlay. Uhm, but the, the, the Titan Black Edition, we've seen leaks of that colored cooler before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it could have easily just been like, oh, we're gonna turn it, make it vertical, put it in this line, and then, yay! Uhm, so I'm not entirely sure about that. It could be real, and I wouldn't be surprised, because when the 78Ti came out, we talked about, like, why isn't there one with 6 gigs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like it's, the only reason why I'm like naysaying it a little bit is just cause that's gotta be hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a big die. Like it says like 999 plus. I expect that plus to be fairly large.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, the only reason why I say that is because with the Titan Black Edition coming right behind it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would just be interesting, and I think we'd have the same thing we had with, uh, early Titan Adopters with the Titan Black. Where they'd be like, why? Why did this happen? Although SLIs kinda still, I'm still not a huge fan of two-chips.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm? Like, the PlayStation isn't necessarily a white knight, but the Xbox is a lot darker. They're both speeding. There's one of them speeding a lot more. Dumitru says, please do not understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you like somehow asked them, they wouldn't say no. And like a lot of times you can actually figure out exactly how much money was put into product placement videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, I've built systems for people that requested SLI that have had problems later on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think AMD's timing could not have been better because this time last year, all doom and gloom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will AMD exist in however long? Like, look at their stock levels, look at how much money they lost, all this kind of stuff. And now it's, it's Intel sitting there with a few series of processors being released and people still liking 2600Ks and 2500Ks more than some of the new ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, myself still running a 2600k and being completely fine and happy with it because I don't see that much of a gain by moving up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, comparing to AMD, where it's like, look at all this stuff we're doing right now, and look at all this stuff we might be doing in the future, and look at all this stuff we almost did, and look at all these things we're planning for, and what about these theoretical combinations of things that could be amazing, and like, I don't know, I see AMD moving much more aggressively in the next little while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if I somehow miss the Super Bowl, I usually just go back on YouTube and watch all the ads. Super Bowl ads are usually pretty legit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you not see the uproar for your little badge things? I'm still trying to figure out what I'm gonna do about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is relaunching the iPhone 4? At a very, very appealing price of only $370 for super old technology.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just, it sounds so old. Like it doesn't seem that bad necessarily when you're using it and then you read the specs on paper and you're just like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think this is ridiculous. It's pretty dumb. They just have no grasp on reality, I think, in that area. We should do the next one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's for a week of the World Cancer Day. So it's not necessarily just World Cancer Day. It's the week that World Cancer Day lays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they did, they, they, there was some engineer, apparently specific engineering businesses, but, uh, also other businesses that were complaining that they were literally shipping drives because it was considerably faster, like very considerably faster to ship a drive than it was to transfer something over the internet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, and this, this was like locally or outside. They were just transferring drives all over the place. They were saying it was ridiculous. They were going to move and like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other towns, all this kind of stuff. So the council said, no, essentially we don't want you to have to move because of internet speeds because that's ridiculous. So they're pulling in a gigabit to the town. Now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's currently in certain locations, not everywhere. You can currently pay for about $57 to $90 a month and you can get 100 megabit. And they are going to take that and say like, yup, same cost, but it's gigabit. Now it's not quite as awesome as it sounds immediately because you will share with your node. Okay. So if you get on gigabit, you're sharing with your node.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you're in a, like, I don't think, I don't think your neighbor is gonna use 900 megabits a second. Like, yeah. I'm not too worried about that, but that's just something you do have to pay attention to. Uh, the average Canadian internet download speed is about 6.6 megabytes per second for an average of $54 a month. So that scaling, it's pretty ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they're saying that they can do this because they don't have to worry about making massive profit margins all the time. They just have to worry about making a little bit of money so that their council can still exist obviously. Uhm, so they're actually able to do this at a reasonable level. They received a pretty sizeable grant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, from the government too to actually do this because of what their whole plan is. They're trying to keep people there, they're trying to keep businesses there and all that kind of stuff. So it makes sense and they're not gouging people so the government tries to help them. The government actually tries to help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of companies that are laying infrastructure, just a lot of those companies don't really care and still screw people over. Uhm, and the, something that brings me back to the you're sharing it with the people around you discussion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, is that if you're a business and you want a dedicated gigabit per second line, like dedicated, gonna be there, gigabit per second line, you'll have all that bandwidth all the time. It's five grand.


[User] Please transcribe this text


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the candy jam, which is awesome, and like, it's actually kind of hard to read because their website is ridiculous, but I think that's kind of part of the joke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so I'm not gonna harp on them too hard for that, but what they say if you're having troubles reading it is because of- because trademarking common words is ridiculous and because it gives us an occasion to make another game jam. That's why this whole thing exists. Uh, you have to make a-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really hope someone makes- I don't really think they will, but I really hope they do. Uhm, and this whole thing is kind of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Horrible, because every single time something like this happens, like with the copyright complaints, and like, the, the guy, the main dude backing like, yeah, we should have stronger copyright law, pirated the background picture for his website, and like, this kind of stuff always seems to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But King, uh, the guys behind the copyright of the word candy, totally ripped the crap out of a game called Scamper Ghost back in the day, so there's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, Pack-Avoid and Scamper Ghost. And as you go through here, you'll notice the screenshots are incredibly the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and what actually happened was they hired a company called, where is it? Epic Shadow, very specifically to copy Scamper Ghost. It was like, go copy this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was fairly straightforward. Uhm, the Scamper Ghost guys aren't mad at Epic Shadow because King was, in their discussions with Epic Shadow, was saying that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scamper Ghost had a signed contract deal with King, and then broke out of it, and there's a whole bunch of stuff going on, and there was issues, and they were like, yeah, just go copy that game, because that'll be the one actually published. Blah, blah, blah. And then, EpicShadow contacted Scamper Ghost at some point in time, being like, yo, we thought you guys were the bad guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Yeah, so Scamper Ghost is not specifically mad at them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they're mad at King and they're more specifically mad at King actually because of the candy copyright thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's absolutely candy and ridiculous. So yeah, I think it's funny that these guys are being super vocal now about the fact that King has done this instead of previously when it probably still would have gotten a lot of traction, but they're doing it now because of a copyright that doesn't have something to do with them. I think that's actually really cool. So go play Scamper Ghost because that's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, for the demystifying Crystal Cove thing, uh, the video is out right now and it has a lot of it. I'm probably going to be doing a long form written right up at some point in time because there's a lot of stuff that didn't make it into the video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's, there's actually a clip that was not put into the release video. Oh, why's that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna try and come up with some way to integrate that, but we can't exactly pull it down and re-release it now. So uhm, I was thinking maybe I could upload it unlisted and then like people through it on the forum or something. So I'll probably do that so you guys can get that clip. Uhm, or if you come to the after party, I'll probably talk about Oculus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even more, uhm, and take questions and stuff like that. So we can talk about that there. And there will be an after party tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't necessarily know if I'll be gaming, but I'll be giving away games and talking about Oculus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One last thing, actually. One very final last thing. We have an unofficial Linus Tech Dip star citizen group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you are interested in Star Citizen, Linus and I are both signed up, but it's unofficial because we're not leading it. We're just gonna kinda hang out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna know if everyone else is like that, but like, I think that's basically spitting image. If you put him in like some really weird costume and then the, the, the like, neck up is exactly the same, looks like principle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we also have Intel, IBM, and Qualcomm speaking out against net neutrality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, uhm, but these are kind of the, oh, okay, these are like the winning contenders as of right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's so many fans tested, it's interesting, but reading more on it is a very good idea. Yea, I would recommend following through with that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you put it on top of your lower lip


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, okay, there's a few things that are going on. There's that GPS navigation that you were talking about. One thing that I noticed when looking through their documentation on the actual site, if you, well, we've got the video running, so we'll talk about it later. But when you're setting up the GPS navigation,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it looks like you might be able to set the, the elevation as well. Wow. I'm not necessarily entirely sure. Uhm, but as there's different points that they've plotted on the map and numbers on those points, I'm assuming that's something to do with elevation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, altitude. You can set altitude, speed, all this kind of stuff. So you can set the route speed in between your different dots, then you can set the elevation at those dots. So we'll go at a different speed to that location. Really cool because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're trying to get a really specific shot, you could set it out and be like, Oh, I want this one section to be a little bit slower. I want a little bit higher of an angle and just set it out again, which is actually really cool for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing that I really liked when I saw this was actually very specifically that controller. The GPS plan and all that kind of stuff was kind of cool, but I think everyone saw that coming. One really big complaint that I've had about a lot of parrot products in the past is the fact that you're using like the touchscreen


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More granular control with actual real controls and then just having more of the networking and the video and stuff going through the iPad I think makes a ton of sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Versus- That doesn't have anything to do with how people are actually gonna treat it. You shoved it in your pocket, it's gonna torque you, you plug it in and then throw it on your bed and it's gonna bounce on the cable, torquing it and then dropping the phone on. Like, I don't know that many people that actually treat their phone as well as they probably should, including myself. Uhm, so there's more problems than that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like, we constantly say on the show, like, iPhone, why did you make it slimmer? It didn't need to be slimmer, we would have rathered there wasn't a bump on the camera and it had a bigger battery. And they're like, oh yeah, let's just release one that's just as slim as the plug.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's awesome. Everyone wants a slimmer phone. And like, meanwhile, all consumers are like, please don't make a thinner phone. They're like, oh no, we got this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nice. Oh, that's awesome. I'm excited now because I want to see what you think about that versus the iMac.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't notice like a ton of like, I didn't install it and then this hair happened. Uhm, but I didn't, there was no crashes or anything. So like, I have no complaints about it. Which is good. Which is all there should really be. That's what you want from a driver. You don't want to complain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. I don't believe you guys. It's already up to 26% now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, sure. That should be, that should start being like patch notes for certain games. Why did you guys patch it this way? Because, uh, sure. I dunno, whatever. Uhm, there is a 60 FPS lock. At least it's not a 30 FPS lock. Uhm, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seriously, have you ever watched Community? No. You like really look like the Dean. Oh. Like okay, let me, gimme a sec.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you just said they commit to release it after. They're releasing theirs now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's completely irrelevant. It doesn't even matter. It's two completely different situations. If EA or Ubisoft were releasing them at the release of the game, then it makes more sense. Because Witcher, like CD Projekt Red has released stuff after games were released and still done it free.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is why I quit Newegg, Paul. This is why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty cool. I liked it. And we got a comment from Puget Systems on that video saying that our question and answer section was really good and we obviously knew what we were talking about. So like, right when I read that I was like, yeah! That's exactly who I wanted to hear that from. So those guys know their stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so weird being on this side of the couch. I like don't know how to do things. So I'm used to like cranking my right arm down so that you can fit easily and then doing everything with my left hand. Now it's the other way around and I'm like, I don't know how to do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, okay, and then there's the broadcaster argument, which I saw a lot of people bringing up, which was like the ESPN owning a football team would actually be a big issue. One thing that isn't the same there is that you're independently broadcasting using Twitch's system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? I'm, uh, okay, go ahead. Twitch is controlling what goes on the channel, but in a, like, content moderation aspect.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not a, like, you don't get to stream cause you're a competing team. Okay, talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he starts streaming and he has like a couple hundred people watching him and then all of a sudden it goes front page and then a whole bunch of people swim in all at the same time, it's not like he gets actually more than the people in the front page and then gets moved to the front page, then that's a little fishy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's slightly less of a thing. Slightly less of an issue. But it's still definitely a thing. But it's still an issue. Yup, yup. We're starting to see older people in the scene, but a lot of times they're more, like, uhm, figurehead-y.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess. Like, White-Raw is awesome, but when was the last time you saw White-Raw win a tournament? I say that, but I'm not sure, because I don't watch, like, at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, a lot of esports teams, like, raw, just esports teams, don't even necessarily make a ton of money. Uhm, that's one thing that I think some people don't really realize. They'll win a tournament.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then people are like, oh my god, they're so baller. They won a $250,000 prize. It's like, when there's like five people that were at that tournament, probably more players on the team, administrators, coaches, all this kind of stuff. The chance that they won that tournament is actually relatively low. The team house that they live in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now they picked up like EG and stuff, which is, that's kind of a big deal. But what we're talking about is like the potential to scoop up everything else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really comfortable. Uh, we're more or less trying to do the thing that Firefox did a long time ago, which is put stuff out there so that people pay attention.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the people that, uhm, are inevitably gonna freak out and go, what are you talking about, being stealing results from Google? I just posted that in the Twitch chat, uh, that's a Google blog post of that being a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't like, I found that in, for very basic search terms, for things that I was looking up that like, was expected probably to be searched, it was fine. Whenever I would search something that was much more specific, it had more


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if I'd, if I'd search up like, oh this is a news article that one of my friends told me about that I have no idea what he's trying to say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would find that because it's a, it's a recent common news article. Uhm, but if I was like, I'm having this really weird issue with this benchmarking machine, it would be like, what? I don't know what you're talking about. Wanna bagel? I'd be like, no? What? What? What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I also want a useful search result. Delicious nutrition is a good thing, but I need to figure out what I'm trying to find.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you want to learn how to program a soundboard, you can probably go through their programming courses and make a soundboard of the ridiculousness that we just did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I used to work in tech shops, we would literally call those little plastic prying tools, Mac tools.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it would be cool if it was like way more intense and kinda like the plates that we have. So you could put it up on things. But it's $20 and like it's definitely completing it's own job. Just right when I saw it I was like, ooh, I kinda wanna put that on the wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eat healthier food! You're eating too much junk food with your pirated movies!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suffer. I'm posting on the thing. If that's Nick spamming Linus, he's not gonna read it. Hit me. Or he's gonna read it now, I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you, if you get screwed over. Trying to pirate stuff? I don't care. You kinda- I'm sorry. You kinda had it coming, I'm sorry. Just reformat or do whatever, like that's what you're kinda paying for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The problem with, uh, like legit torrents though is that they could be infected because you could post one that looks like the legit one and it's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a huge thing back with like LimeWire and all that crap. Like even if you happen to download something legitimate off LimeWire that wasn't pirated, it wasn't bull crap, it was very easy for someone to post something under that name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, it'd be an interesting idea because a lot of the issues you can have, like if someone was able to get some of your personal identification from your computer, you don't deserve that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it tress effects? Maybe Paulus has a little bit more tress effects than yours.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would kinda like there to be two systems, because in certain situations, like, uh, say as a student, if you, if you are given a laptop,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. A lot of different situations. You might be given a laptop. I'm not gonna go through all the different potential situations where you're given a laptop. You would probably have to keep that subscription up. Wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can afford the little bit of subscription, it'll probably be a lot easier, because incremental hardware upgrades and stuff, it's not gonna care anymore, as long as the subscription is only on one computer at a time, just like, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Office 365. I think that'll make it a lot easier for the stuff I'm doing, which is great. But we also have to remember the people that it's not good for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still, I still think it's very segmented and I'm interested to hear what Paul thinks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just looked it up, uhm, the first website that came out was Best Buy, but it showed a really good demonstration actually. You can get the subscription or you can buy the full thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so, if they do that with Windows 2, I think they've covered all possible bases. I'll get a subscription, other people can buy the whole thing, whatever fits for you better, that's awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're like guardians of peace. Let's ruin a huge amount of people's lives. What?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like there was different ways that if they wanted to harass Sony with this information they could've that didn't like destroy all the employees lives. Which probably had nothing to do with this movie at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought of this thing that they could potentially be doing. Interesting. I'm gonna post this on the internet. And that's as far as that rumor has gone, as far as I can tell. So I don't know about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like it could be, I don't know, I'm not saying it's definitely not, but it sounds like a whole bunch of bullcrap to me. If you were gonna use something, AWS would make sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I believe Tech Quickie's available already. So if you need to... So there's a download button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wonder, it could download like a, a set of ads with it. I wouldn't be surprised. And then serve it. Or just one of them and you just get served the exact same one every time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That would be a lot of work to circumvent a five second skippable button.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you were like, I'm gonna download every video so I don't have to watch the ads. That would be a little bit odd.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And honestly, I find, uh, Instagram conversations are garbage. Yeah. Twitter conversations are worse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's actually easier to follow the conversation for me on Instagram, which is ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was trying to reply to someone on YouTube the other day and it broke all my formatting right when I posted. I was like, oh god, please just post on the forum.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, weren't we also specifically talking about 1.4?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although I think companies that have 30 to 1 are like giant national chains and stuff. Well, yes. Not four person team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we've got consumer hard drives versus enterprise hard drives in terms of reliability. There was a test done. Kind of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably, actually. Did I tell you for, for like my family Christmas thing, I'm bringing my computer and Oculus home so everyone can try it? Did I tell you about that? We have people like coming in from Eastern Canada to visit us and all this kind of stuff. My mom was like, oh, we need an activity. I was like, we can all play Oculus Rift.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So she was down, so we're doing that. Wow, that is awesome. Anyways, that might extend that range that you just came up with by a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm stoked. There we go. Alright, uh, so a lot of this money is going towards actually like producing, making, and getting ready to sell. Mass production.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we're done. Yeah, so that's what a lot of the money is going to and an interesting quote from one of the big investors who's now going to be on the board because he invested so much money or not exact quote, but basically what he was saying was when he saw the developer kit, he wasn't a hundred percent sold and he wasn't ready to invest, which I completely understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because when you have the developer kit, you can see all these pixels and you can actually like easily see the grid in between the pixels. And you have one, right? Yea, yea. And it's, it's, it's wonderful, but you can still see the pixels, so it's still kind of a rough experience. And he said that once he saw the consumer version, which is a higher resolution,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was sold and he was ready to invest all that money. So that actually makes me super stoked because I haven't tried the high-res version yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which like, man, I'm stoked. Cause that's one of the biggest things that I find holding it back. And for me personally, what I'm really excited for is the consumer version to be released, a whole bunch of people to buy it, and then people to start building accessories for it. Like, uh, when we were testing the Omni, the gun that was there was not super great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, it's all good. Because one of the biggest things I've found with fairly extended use with the Oculus is when you want to start doing more things, a keyboard and mouse is not ideal. Believe me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Freakin' love keyboard and mouse. But when you have an Oculus on your face and you do a 180 in your chair, it's not really gonna work out so well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People have been doing concept art of the whole idea. They've been thinking of backpacks that were specially made for it. So that they're, they don't stick out way too far. So they're slimline against your back and different stuff like that. Big flat battery. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brilliant, so something like that coming out, uhm, better guns, which are more realistic, coming out so that you can have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All these different accessories, which will make it so much better. And then something like an Omni so that you don't have to sit in this chair with a keyboard and mouse. Cause right now that's the most awkward thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is not the Oculus, it's all the other things you have to do with the Oculus paired with the resolution issues. So once the resolution issues are solved and all these accessories come out, this can be freaking awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm thinking that if, if it becomes available, like I haven't, I haven't seen, if someone has a download link for it, like I've gone to the SteamOS page and it says download will be available soon. I don't know if that's actually where they're releasing it cause it's in beta. So if someone has the proper download page, if you could tweet it to me or spam it in chat or something, that would be awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I might try and see if I can tinker with it and if I can get it working easily enough over the weekend. Do you think we should do benchmarks or do you think we should wait for the official release?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You seem concerned. What? The title's wrong, it's off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, okay, I'm all for wearable tech, and if it did something else, I would probably be like, oh that's pretty cool, but it tells you to stop eating. Which is like, really?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, if they had a smart brazier so that it could tell your phone your heart rate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it didn't, but it didn't bleed out going, oh my god, you're eating too much. That would make so much more sense to me. If it was affordable, that, okay, that's fine. Cause you could, hey, if it was a sports bra, you could track your heart rate while running. And you wouldn't have to wear any extra stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have, I don't even care if it's a piece of personal gear, it doesn't matter. I just, I think it's kind of insane that it's like, cause one, it's gonna go off at all the wrong times. I already brought this up with you. You're gonna be in a movie, you're gonna be enjoying the movie and get really into it and your heart rate's gonna go up and it's gonna stop you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of your internet not going fast enough, we might be getting some awesomeness on Tuesday. Or are we like, we are getting some awesomeness on Tuesday? We are. They're coming. They're coming. We are getting some awesomeness on Tuesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You should have seen, he was on the phone and he like moves the phone away from his house, or house, head and freaks out and like falls to the floor and is all excited and then all of a sudden goes like, yep, that sounds good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's awesome. So I'm like super stoked. I just made sure all your links were hyperlinked for the future. Oh, thank you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People in the chat making fun of us for being all excited over an internet connection that is apparently not even that good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's horrible. It's sort of horrible. See, it's just gonna help anorexia, which is like not good. If it just tracked like your heart rate and like other things and gave you statistics so you could like follow your thing and like if it helped like health apps and all that kind of stuff like that could be really cool. Hater. Hater right here on the stream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Although if he has like, scheduled breaks so that he can stay focused?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wait, wait, wait. Finally won. I believe MS said the smart bra would be for other purposes. Health apps are already a thing and more data could be useful for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That part I do agree with though. Yep. If it interfaces with your phone and helps currently existing health apps, that surely makes sense. Yelling at you for eating too much, I don't think is the right angle. That doesn't seem like a good idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's because we had the worst audio setup on the planet. I love our new audio setup. If I had enough time, it works the best we ever had it working. It's so great. Just saying. Yeah, well. But this one's kind of nice because it just kind of works instantaneously. You don't have to like spend literally two hours trying to balance everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they made it so that there was a version or a model or a type of Steam box that you could buy that was by default automatically launched into, uh, big picture and just put you directly into big picture and did not really take you out. I think that could bridge that gap, but if it launched directly into SteamOS, it could be a little bit foreign because you're sitting in Linux, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing, one analogy I like using for G-Sync actually, and like, it's not perfect, because Project Butter introduced V-Sync to Android, uhm, or that, like, it used V-Sync, so it's not perfect, but what Project Butter did for the Android side of things, I see G-Sync doing for the PC side of things, because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beforehand there was all these, all these drawbacks and different things you could have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To make it faster, but then it would look kind of gross. It was just, it was never very smooth and it was never perfect. And Project Butter just launched them forward in that direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't actually really use it because Project Butter brought in vSync, but I still like using it because of the general idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely check them out. Uhm, one thing, is wearing a Team OCZ shirt, like, is that in mourning? Is this like a sign of like, I miss you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that was the most glorious, fantastic, incredibly shiny intro we've ever had for anyone ever. Which was the like, I love you, please don't run away because I love you so much intro. Which was amazing. Uhm, I don't think you've ever asked someone if you could interrupt them before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then after doing that- Nope, I do usually just talk over them. Yep, and then after that, you then interrupted him, but paused for a second, you're like, oh I'm sorry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, is this okay? And then he said yes, and then you kept going, which was fantastic. And then later on, you went to go interrupt him, but then stopped yourself and said, oh, I wanna bring this up later, but, but you can keep going, it's okay. And then drew back, and I thought that was just fantastic. And then once it was over, even though it had gone over time,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was just, it was just beautiful. I wish I still had, do we still have the footage?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we still have the footage, I might leak some of it on the after party tonight, but I'm not sure if we still have the footage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's always like, oh, why do you think I'm like, out of tune with society and stuff? And then if you go watch, if you go back and watch the Omni video, when he's like, CONVERSE!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're just mad, to be completely honest. I'm assuming that's where this is coming from. They're like, oh, why are so many failing? Let's rip them apart. Because they have to understand that the way they did this was not entirely true. And like, a lot of the quotes that are in this are directly from Backblaze's blog. It's a lot of bees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, like it's directly in there where it's like, well, do you think reliability of these make any sense? No. Like it's, it's all, it's all the sensationalized part is in Backblaze's blog. So that was kind of interesting. The sample size is like not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is where if one enterprise, one less enterprise drive failed, they were almost equated for percentages. And if two less failed, it was like a chunk better, like 2.2% better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is like, no, to be able to do an actual study like this, you need, one, the sample sizes need to be the same freaking size, and two, they weren't tested in the same environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was even some more wonky stuff too because the enterprise drives had nicer, more padded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so one thing, one good takeaway from this in my mind is that holy crap, consumer drives don't fail that much. That's really cool. Cause we use consumer drives in our server. Yep, we use a lot of refurbished ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cool. But yeah, like this article was, is not really great in my opinion, but it's still an interesting thing to look at and like take the percentages, not really a hundred percent to heart, but you can look at it still and just, I don't know, maybe be a little bit more confident in your consumer drive and just make sure that it has good padding. You're probably good to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To be honest, I'd have to see them close up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the rapid fire topics got all messed up, but we can jump into the Xbox One thing. Ah yes. Because this is hilarious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So apparently someone released an image, which we can maybe hopefully get on screen here soon, which it looks, looks fairly official. Like it's not super well done, but it's okay. Uhm, it says Xbox 360 backwards compatibility unlock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By default, Xbox 360 backwards compatibility is disabled on Xbox One. To unlock it, follow these steps. One, go to the system menu. Two, press left button, right button, left trigger, right trigger. I know, but we might be doing podcasts soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order, in order quickly, select the developer console, check the enable dev kit box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Change sandbox ID to FreeZone.Reboot, which is where you should start thinking this is kinda bullcrap. Uhm, 6, select reset home console and then it says Xbox 360 games will now be playable on your console. The problem is it will just boot loop infinitely because you put it into reboot mode where it will just continuously reboot and will never actually really do anything. Essentially, breaking your Xbox One.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love how the best answer is, the best answer on that one is like, dude, you zapped your phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, yeah, no, you, you, you screwed up on that one. Not, not gonna work out for you at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that, I was just gonna say, is that, is that the whole topic? That's the whole topic. Is there more? Okay, that's pretty cool. What was the original source again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pretty sick. Which is just, ballin'. My favorite part about mstate SSDs is like, they're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been, I've been talking to the Twitch chat about all the different problems and whatnot that are going on with the frames. We're good I think. We'll make it through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would she flip out? She obviously didn't know. He was kind of an interesting guy. He was just crazy? Yea. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would, I like a lot of my former teachers. Mr. Thompson, Mr. First, Mr. Trattle. Probably none of them are watching at all, but that would be awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, I didn't read this topic. I just assumed they had some other thing going on. That's- Nope. Crazy. So this was-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I don't know if they're going to, but I think they could just lightly modify the open source code for Firefox and just like easily have this highly up updated really well performing browser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't like, they might be making their own from the ground up. I have no idea. I haven't read this, uhm, article unfortunately, although I'm like super interested now and I'm totally gonna read it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I saw that coming in. I was just focused on editing the other, the uh, the other video. Uhm. So that's fascinating, eh? That's super crazy. Score one for the Pirates, potentially, here. Like, how do you get around that? Because, yeah, it could just be like a button on the browser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is just automatically updated and directed to the site or like there's so many or it doesn't even have to be a website at that point. The browser could just directly interface with it automatically.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Holy crap. Yeaah. That's cool. Cause there's stuff like this. There's been like browsing applications, like views I guess you could technically say, but it still interfaces with websites that actually manage everything. It's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A browser that accesses those websites. This way it would be, oh man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The volume's not gonna be right, can you just play the other scene? I don't think, is it in there? No, you moved it. No, I moved it from this one. I think we're done here. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Had, had surprisingly more news than I expected to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda didn't really know what to expect going into it, but they talked about, uh, you know, Kaveri, APU, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the other ones, Beeman, Mullins. Then they talked about Mantle, and they had some good content there actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I don't think a whole bunch has changed yet, right? So the, when we first heard about it was Battlefield 4 only, uh, although that's a pretty big deal. And then we heard it was going to be Frostbite Engine. And now they've actually showed two different developers in addition to DICE that are integrating Mantle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they actually showed performance metrics of some kind, not the kind that we're used to seeing, like frame rates and stuff, but looking at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We call it draw calls per second, uhm, where there used to be batch levels of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Three thousand to five thousand, and now this developer was showing a real-time strategy game that was running like a hundred thousand batch calls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a draw call is like the, the setup process of the game engine, right? So the processor has to, not the GPU, the actual Intel or AMD CPU,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has to organize a bunch of draw calls. It says, what is the game engine actually asking me to do? What's it, what does it want to draw? What does it want to see? And it compiles these into groups called batches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this kind of batching process has been a limiting factor for game developers in certain ways. Uh, at this event, you know, we heard developers talk about that it was for years and years been a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You never crossed that 35,000 draw calls per batch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was just something that was assumed throughout the industry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By having these additional batch call capabilities, they have the ability to improve visual, uh, just visuals or performance one way or the other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say that's one of the primary benefits of it, for sure. It's, uhm, it basically opens up the palette for these designers and these coders to do things that they couldn't do before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When we talk about benchmarks and performance, we're used to bottlenecks like frame rates or how many threads are being actually utilized on a processor. But for the most part, we don't really know what is the processor really doing most of the time, and this setup is part of that. So, implementing Mantle gives developers


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Duplicate or not into duplicate, but being more creative and offering up more options to increase poly counts or increase character counts and, you know, increase resolution or granularity of surroundings and stuff like that. So it's, it's more about enabling artists to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's like a constant battle that hardware developers and driver developers have to worry about finding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't have to have a Core i7-4960X to play games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well I hope you didn't upgrade away from the core 2 duo, cause then your performance would probably go down, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Right. And it doesn't necessarily mean that the long-term viability of that technology is solid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, I really do. Uh, there are, there are use cases where even today, Richland or Trinity is gonna be okay for 1080p gaming at lower, low to medium settings. And Converi improves that probably 40, 50%. I mean, we showed, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A video where they had the Kaveri demo system running Battlefield 4 at 1080p at medium quality settings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but they're running it off of an APU that's drawing, I don't know, 100 watts, 120 watts or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty impressive, but the people that listen to your show, the people that listen to our show, and, and, and they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dark Secret that came out during the show was that this performance is actually lower than what they had said was going to be the performance of Kaveri a year ago. Right. They had lower clocks on the CPU and GPU.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can, I can use, I've got a foot pedal for mute, I can do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because we, we, we did a similar thing and, and it was disheartening to see 20% of your system build price be relegated to, uh, a copy of Windows 8 or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if you're somebody that is building a PC for another purpose, a home theater PC or a small form factor build that maybe you already have your main rig upstairs and you want to have something small and modest downstairs or at your office or something,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It will be able to do some of that stuff. And that's kind of what AMD is leaning on, uh, for their advantages over what they can with Intel, because they do not have, they're at a severe disadvantage on the processor side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well Intel has this huge advantage with its manufacturing, right? So they'll...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're, they're trying to utilize that manufacturing advantage to go after the arm market. And they're also going to try to use some of that on, uh, to, to make up for these graphics deficits that they've traditionally had. Uhm, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It'll be interesting to see this coming generation, like the end of 2014, Intel does versus what AMD does. Because Intel has slowly been increasing the percentage of the die that they use for graphics. Yep. Intel is probably in the 40% range with Haswell I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and AMD is just over 50% with Kaveri.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's a better 50%, right? The units that AMD has built are better and more efficient than what Intel has built. But that will eventually change, and if you're running at 22 nanometer or 14 nanometer next year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have a little bit more flexibility about how much die space you can just create for those parts. So it'll be, it'll be interesting in integrated space in 2014 to be sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean that's, that's unfortunately been the case for Intel for several years about not really pushing forward on the CPU space. You know, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, after the Pentium 4 disaster, they slowly built back up so that they were the dominant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sporadic updates like the Sandy Bridge E and Ivy Bridge E and, you know, they can pack 10 or 12 cores onto a Xeon, but they're not really changing anything drastically like they hope to do on the graphics side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, the 290X is, is increasingly becoming a more and more kind of derelict part in, in the, uh, in the PC market, right? When it launched, everybody loved it. It was this super high performance card. It was less expensive than the GTX 780 and the Titan. And then,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that the 290 is louder its default state than the 290X.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's got less, it's got fewer shader units, but they run them at a lower speed, but at a higher fan speed, so it's running at its top clocks more consistently. It's a really odd kind of balancing move they've done to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, not until I got an email that said, hey, there's one on their way to you, and I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I said, well, I'm not going to be able to get this tested and stuff, uh, before I leave for this event. So how, you know, give me a little bit of background on it. And they said, oh, listen to the slide deck. And usually if they're not real eager to brag about what the product is, that there's usually something you need to be, uh, to pay attention to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I got the specs and I looked at it and I almost emailed them back. I said, no, no, no, no. You sent me the 270X specs. So what did you, what did you really mean to send me? And I started looking at it and I was like, wow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want to talk about congesting the market. You're supposed to do that against your competition, not really against your own GPUs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I think they more did that because it was a rebrand and selling each of those individually as new products 10 days separated would probably be even more of a headache for them. But, uh, yeah, I mean, it's definitely, you know, that's one way that these, these vendors kind of create


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And their board partners are coming out with something really exciting to get us to write it about it again. They start to suffer, so I don't think they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's G-Sync, but I'll, I'll, so I'll say this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G-Sync is the most interesting technology for me in gaming kind of period right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm not really super excited about it in its current state, right? On a 1080p TN panel, ehh, it's much better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I would love to see it on a IPS 1080p, or if you're going to keep me on TN, put me on a 25x14 panel. 4K is a little bit of a stretch still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, people, people like us that have been, you know, kind of feeding the enthusiast base about, hey, you need to upgrade to this 2560x1440 monitor because that is the next thing. Or, look at this 4K stuff, you know, we did some 4K demos and this is really expensive, but if you want to look at what it's going to be like in a year or two years, this is awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now to kind of be pulled back into, hey check out this great technology on 1080p only right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a little bit, it's a little bit disheartening for that, but for mantle...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The benefits of it feel so indirect or kind of, I don't know, wishy-washy, like I'm not exactly sure what I'm getting with it, whereas with G-Sync,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I know and you know exactly what you're getting with it because you got to see it in person. And that's something that people listening don't have the advantage of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so it's not a replacement, I mean it's a replacement for VSync completely on or off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you don't lose any graphical fidelity, you can turn things up a whole bunch. Whereas, you know, before you would have to worry about, well, if this one scene or this one part of the multiplayer map draws my frame rate below 120, 120 Hz to 60 Hz.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now you don't have to worry about that, right? And so, you know, at the Nvidia event, we don't have to get into it again, those developers, you know, Carmack, who doesn't really work at it anymore, but Carmack, Anderson and Sweeney kind of got up there and said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is perfect for us because it prevents us from worrying about these really specific edge cases. And I think that should mean a lot to gamers, even if it doesn't yet, like they don't understand it until they see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's tough. Like, 3D was the first time that that really came to, you know, to the forefront for me. It was like, you can't show off 3D vision and how cool it looks or how cool it doesn't look.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm, that's an interesting thought. Or what if a capture card vendor that was kind of already working on DisplayPort stuff started to integrate some of these things so that we could capture variable frame rate technology. That's an interesting thought, Linus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I could present fancy graphs to you. Yes. But, well, unless you have a variable refresh monitor on your desk that also has a variable refresh capable video player to read these files, then it's not gonna work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, I will see 122 frames per second in that instance. So, you know, you'll still be able to measure performance with, you know, either F-CAT, Capture, FRAPS, and, but you won't be able to show the kind of experience you get on these different panels. So it's, the, Nvidia has a, has a tough job ahead of them to,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, go to any gaming show, any LAN party, and I bet you they'll have two dozen G-Sync monitors sitting there for people to walk up and try and try to get the word out about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So G-Sync was invented by NVIDIA, they have patents on it, and the module that gets installed in these monitors is built by NVIDIA currently, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they said some fancy words like, hey, we'll consider the licensing model, but if you know Nvidia, no, it's not going to happen. They're not going to allow this to work with AMD graphics cards. If AMD wants a G-Sync-like technology, they're going to have to work on one on their own or partner with, uh, monitor vendors. Mantle, on the other hand,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AMD in the past has a more open approach to their technologies. Usually because to be quite fair about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say that the best case scenario is Microsoft pays attention, gets off his ass,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enterprise platform, I guess, uh, what is it, Haswell-E, I think, will have DDR4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I've been through a lot of these DDR transitions. I don't expect a whole lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The CPUs don't take advantage of memory bandwidth improvements like GPUs do and especially


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's happened to every instance. DDR when it launched was slower than the top end SD RAM. DDR2 was slower than DDR. DDR3 was slower than DDR2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I expect DDR4 will be slower than the top-end DDR3 memory when it launches, so it will take a little while for it to kind of catch on and adopt, but I don't...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not gonna solve any major bandwidth issues that the, uh, the processor has. Maybe it'll improve integrated graphics performance. Right. So that would be a big plus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so that's an interesting question, uhm, because I have, I guess I have two, right? So I've got the one at the office that I would say I spend the most time on, but I do the least gaming on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the benefit of doing what I do is that literally as I sit here talking to you, I can look at three computers that have, uh, an R9 290, a GTX 780, and a 780 Ti in it. And I can just go to any of those anytime I want to game, and thanks to cloud saves it all kind of works magically. Um, but that's, that's kind of my cop-out answer I guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can feel it coming through the internet wires, I feel it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our team here based in California has been working with universities, research labs, and industrial partners to harvest the last 10 years of research in robotics and computer vision to concentrate that technology into a very unique mobile phone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are physical beings that live in a 3D world. Yet, mobile devices today assume that the physical world ends at the boundaries of the screen. Our goal is to give mobile devices a human scale understanding


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is there anything in this? Oh, yea. Oh, are those gloves?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well, you spilled a little bit into my section. I did. You did three things. I always spill into your section. There's also the Flappy Bird insanity, which is like, the whole internet has something to say about it, and it's, it's ridiculous, and we'll talk about that later. And that's about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, uh, it's buried far enough down on the front page that I don't think it's gonna be that bad. And then if you decide to, you can just completely ignore all parts of it except for the your games and software part. In which I do actually think it could be good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure that they will. I'm sure that certain ones will especially and I worry about some things where it's like game updates and things are still in, uh, early access.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where it's gonna be like update, update, update, update, update, update, update, update, because early access is such a big thing now. Yes. And when, when you're in early access, you're not too worried about if things are unstable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do still like the your games and software side though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because they're working on things very actively, and some things don't take that long. Some things take a really long time, some things don't take that long. So if you can instead plug people with updates all the time, but have like that naturalized advertisement of being on the front page all the time, that could help a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the answer was... Who the heck knows? Who? And even, I would even like it if you could do it in your own library.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, I don't know if this works, but if the search for that applies to your own library, so you could be like, okay, co-op, and then it does a search through your own library for those tags that are on the store. I hope it's in both sections because that would be awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can, so Valve wins, and there will be no selling of digitally used games. So, this wasn't Germany, but it's probably going to spill over everywhere. The Federation of German Consumer Organizations, also known as Verbrauchens Atelier Bundesband.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry about it. Uhm, and VZBZ for short was versus Valve, and they were saying that there was a, where is it, European Union decision from 2012 that the states, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That states that companies cannot stop consumers from selling their digital products. Uhm, but Valve has been able to kind of get around that. They are not in that compilation and we expect things like Origin and Uplay to have the same exemption status. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people freaked out about this, but I was actually surprised. I expected the gaming community to explode like the gaming community always does. Uhm, but as far as I can tell, no one really cares. I think that's probably tied into the fact that Steam sells are so ridiculous that there's almost no point in ever selling a game because you'll get 50 cents for it. Uhm, and it's just really not a big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but yeaah, I expected more of a backlash from this. One thing that I worry about is when you go buy a game in the store now, if you buy a physical copy of a game, half the time it's a disc, but then the disc just has a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that mean that that applies to physical games as well? You can't sell them? Yes, because that's attached to that service and that service you can't sell things on. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's interesting. I also wonder about double standard issues.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, it's, it's, it depends on what side of the battle you're on, and right now it's always on their side, which is... I'm not too stoked about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also find it weird where like, uh, you'd think if you lose all these freedoms by having a digital copy of something, you would gain something. And the most obvious thing to gain from this situation would be cost savings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's just amped up right now. It does kind of get me going. He's just amped up. He's excited for later. Uh, you just said excited. Yeah, sorry. You said get me going. I had to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, uhm, yeaah, it's, it's ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're paying for them. You're paying $15 a month. You're paying for them. The WoW model is difficult because you buy the game up front and then you pay for all the expansions. And then you pay for the subscriptions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can do that in EVE, kind of. You buy these time codes and you can sell them in game. Like, officially, it's a real thing. Uh, it's done through the EVE website.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. So I could easily see it being like, I'm an RPG subscriber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, it's, it's gonna be brutal, cause Netflix is a completely different realm. When, when you get like games and the library that is Steam, which with green light and everything, it's just blahhh all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it almost makes more sense because you don't own any of that anyways, considering you're leasing all of it anyways. Yep. So now you're just on a monthly lease instead of a permanent lease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I always get ragged on for my love of physical copies of things, but I honestly think that's part of it. I've always liked a physical copy of something because even though a lot of them now are literally just ports for steam keys, I feel like I actually own something. We've let ownership completely disappear. Which, I don't like at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so yeah, you can attach these labels essentially to different people, which is their, their relationship status with you. Uhm, so cool, you can say call dad or you can say call mom. Uhm, the- Not to mention-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of, uh, Apple products actually, because I don't normally do that, because I don't normally like them. In this case, they actually definitely had the One Up, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With, with Apple, there's a tap to add custom label and you can add whatever the heck you want. So you could be mom or whatever. And then if you say call mom, and it doesn't know your mom's number, say you haven't added that custom label. If you say call mom, it'll ask you what is your mom's name. And then if you tell it your mom's name, it'll find that person in your contact list, add that custom field for you, and then call them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know why this is a news article. Linus put it in here, so I filled it out with everything that's on there. Uhm, I guess he put it in here so that he could rant about the things that he doesn't like that already exist that don't necessarily pertain to this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was linked, like he said, by Beefskadoo on the forum. Let's see where the source is from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just none of my cares about, is linked, uh, it's from The Verge. I just, eh, and like honestly, and I know not everyone does this, but my dad in my phone is just Dad. And then his full name after that. His first name is his middle name. And then his last name is our last name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think it's come down to which thing you want to fight about next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm actually not super. There's, there's a reason. Okay, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and they have solutions like video encoding, video SEO, video email, and syndication, uh, real time video management and analytics available are 24 seven, blah, blah, blah, blah. They're, they're video, video embedding and video streaming solutions. So essentially instead of just embedding YouTube videos on your website, you could embed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your own videos fairly easily on your website with metrics and, uh, proper SEO and all that kind of stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and their name is Oculoo, spelled exactly the same as Oculus without the final S. And they are mad because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's spelt exactly the same as Oculus without the final S. And they exist- they existed before Oculus. Uhm, a quote from Palmer Lu- Lucky? Lukey? I can't remember exactly how you say his last name. Uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said, unfortunately, he decided to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They didn't just decide to put an S on the end of oculu. It's essentially what he's trying to say. That was never their plan. What they're trying to say is oculus, the Latin word for an I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had, they weren't adding an S to some other company's final name. The problem is that it doesn't really matter. You're still one letter off of another company's name, and it's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their fight for that is that they could be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if they spread out from what they're doing? So they're video streaming. And what they're saying is Oculus could very easily on their roadmap have video streaming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't sound alike. It doesn't sound different. If it was Ahu-luh? Like that's actually a pretty big difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if, if, if that was actually what it sounded like, uh, maybe, I don't know. Uhm, I just, ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one thing that was kind of funny is if you Google Oculus, the first result is Oculus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe. Part of the problem is a lot of people think it's called innocuous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, uhm, I wonder if there's a different Latin word for eyes instead of eye. I don't think so. Because Oculus is an eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Um, although it is unfortunate because you would hope that all that money that they just got at 75 million dollars of investment that they very recently got would go towards making the consumer release instead of fighting someone for a freaking name. I'm getting really tired of all the trademarky stuff in the last little while candy and saga. It's like, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Latin words, like that's, that's, that's one thing that sucks too is it's a word.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where as oculu isn't. So it's like, really, really? No, you can't just make something that's, like you can't say, your word is bok, be okay. And they're like, oh well, your name can't be bok.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. That doesn't make a lot of sense. You should be Oculus' lawyer. I should.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'd be cool. If like, if they would let me see the release version.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, and there's some things that just totally don't seem right. So in a quote, they say, uhm, it will not reduce competition in any relevant market because our companies do not overlap completely with each other. In fact, we do not operate in any of the same zip code.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then reading on the thread on our forum, someone said, the only services offered in my area are these two companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, like, I haven't actually gone and looked at a coverage map, but I'm assuming that guy on the forum isn't just lying for fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think my parents had one for a not super large period of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When my grandpa was kind of staying with us for a while because he wanted to watch it. Other than that, don't think we really had one. Uhm, and then since I have moved out, which was actually a fair amount of years ago, I have never had one and I have never cared.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so local law- this is stupid. Local laws do not allow more than one ISP in an area in most places in the states. That's just plain stupid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually you'll just get this like combined check from like the combined conglomerate that is all of the companies. They'll be like, this is your monthly check for content and entertainment. Bye bye to half of your paycheck. Owned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that was probably, oh, nope, not going to go into that yet because we haven't argued and been pissed off about that yet. So I'll talk about that later. Yeah, we'll talk about that later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing to note is, by the time the Twitch stream caught up with you after you said that you could point everyone to the website, we did significantly increase the ping, but not beyond reasonable levels, and then it did fracture itself back down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they pay for your domain and then you leave, can you take the domain?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, freaking flappy bird. So there's a massive amount of people disagreeing with each other, and as far as I can tell, just massive mountains of misinformation as the actual guy himself has really not said that much. Yeah, Dong Nguyen has taken the game down, but has done so fairly quietly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fairly quietly, he hasn't said a ton. There is people that have like screen captured some of his tweets, but usually it's like he said four to five words, and then people have essays on what he's actually saying, but like we're not interpreting a poem. Part of the problem is, for one, he's ESL, so he has interpreted a lot of people incorrectly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the only reason why I'm saying that is, uh, I know some of it, at least some portion of it, and this part is fairly straightforward, is because he was getting a lot of, uh, what he felt were attacks. Someone would say like, I've been playing for the last eight hours and my eyes are bleeding. I hate you. But like, that's not actually necessarily a negative thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think they really mean the I hate you part and they've been playing for the last 8 hours probably because they enjoy it. Uhm, but he received that very negatively and was like, oh my god, I'm sorry, you shouldn't have played this much, I'm sorry. Uhm, and I think he's having a lot of trouble with all the pressure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's for sure, but it's a lot of other things people have been speculating about that we don't really know. Uhm, people have said that he makes 50k like a day on it or something like that. Uhm, but then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, where does that necessarily come from? Uh, I've heard that the original source for that might not have actually been 100% accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or it might have been an estimation, or it was accurate, or it's totally not accurate, who knows? Uh, if you go to our social media page for our social blade page, sorry, uhm, for Linus Tech Tips, that's totally not accurate, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a number. And enjoy it. There's people saying he took it down for legal reasons, even when he said he didn't, but then it kind of might make sense that he did, and then who the heck knows? There's people wondering if he's having problems with Nintendo because of the pipes, and then who the heck knows?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, TotalBiscuit has good comments on it where he actually doesn't say a ton about it, but he's talking, he's talking to his own subreddit about why he's abandoning the subreddit. It's because he can't take all the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All the hate, essentially, all the people attacking him over so many things, and he brings up the Flappy Bird context, which, that makes sense, because there's so much, it, it was so sudden, it was so quick, it was, uh, zero to not hero, all of a sudden, because he was getting attacked by a lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, there's, there's so much crap going around that I didn't have enough time to properly say this is how it is before we did the show, so what do you guys think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And like one thing, one thing that you have to do, uhm, is like just try to focus on the positive ones.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the neutral ones, neutral ones, honestly, you can often get a lot of information from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can get to like, it can get to people and that's part of John's thing is he's saying it's like the volume.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That actually reminded me about another thing, which is people were saying that Floppybirds might have blown up because of Reddit. There's even things that I found that I don't remember because there's way too many. So yea, theories away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to project energy and then that changes you at least to a certain degree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone's making flappy everything right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually think there's a lot of people that would have just been like, alright, done!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure! Just like disconnect from the internet and then just let their game rot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so like if you disconnect for long enough, just, it won't matter. You're fine. Don't worry about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not on... what? There's also not as many cards as there were.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, I just did an inspect element on that P and it's a membership icon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not very surprising because of certain acquisitions from Google recently. They bought Boston Dynamics, which makes those crazy robotic running things like Big Dog and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, so they, they recently acquired a robotics company. They've been looking into AI forever. This just all kind of makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, now Big Dog isn't exactly manufacturing, but when you acquire something like Boston Dynamics, I'm sure you acquire a lot of extremely skilled engineers, and I'm sure they could take something like that and adapt certain systems, like the articulating arms and stuff, uh, into some type of manufacturing system.

[Assistant] Are you playing, uh, apparently the sound from that video was terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually didn't see that quote. Uhm, I, yeah. I don't think they're helping the job market. I think this is inevitable and has been happening throughout the entire history of human existence and will continue to happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's actually kind of a really big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there will be like super expensive restaurants that you can go to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause like, uh, and people are gonna be like, oh, but you're taking jobs away from people. Yeah, but that's, I'm ignoring that part completely because it's, it's what I would care about. I would care that that person doesn't have a job. I wouldn't necessarily care that my food was made by a robot unless it was worse in some possible way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's gonna be interesting. There's, there's, uhm, a forum on the internet, uh, that I frequent that talks about, like, futurology and stuff, like, what, what is actually gonna happen. And the future of the 60s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the uber rich, the 1%, whatever, pay the people that aren't doing anything. Because there's nothing for them to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, yeaah, I don't know. It's interesting. I-I-I hope that it's taken care of, but who knows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's a big change though. That's the whole kind of idea, is that we're moving away from Modern Warfare 4 for the first time in a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's, something is different. They have jetpacks, they have these giant robot things, there's, there's, there's different areas where the pilots can run around and the robots can't get them, there's all these, there's, there's very, uh, the levels are much more vertical, because if you go really high with a jetpack and land on top of one of the robots, you can start ripping them apart, there's, there's,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Someone says cod with mechs. Yeah, essentially. But it didn't have mechs before. So now it does. And it has jetpacks. And it has all this other crap. So we'll see if it's worth anything at all, soon, I guess.

[Assistant] I'll stream, I'll try to stream it at some point in time this weekend. I will not be streaming tonight unless it is extremely, extremely late.

[Assistant] It's a voice chat client optimized for gaming as opposed to for talking with your mother who lives in another country like Skype so things like the game overlays or the overlays won't kill you and disrupt your gameplay, all that kind of good stuff. It's free. It's beta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't emphasize that enough, for a lot of people have been saying, oh, Razor comms isn't perfect. Yes, we know. It's not perfect. Razor knows. That's why it's called beta. Uhm, I hope it's not like perpetually beta, like gmail. Do you remember how long gmail was beta?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, but this is legitimately beta, so they're issuing patches like every few days. Anyway guys, definitely try it out. Try it out with your gaming group. Use the bit.ly link here, it helps us out a whole heck of a lot. So our special guest this week is Ryan Schrout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then it's a little bit, then it's a little bit easier there. So without further ado, intro time. Where's the intro? You have got to be kidding me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes it is the exact same thing as last week. You would think...

[Assistant] Boom, there it is. The Humble Origin Bundle. Eight games. And I think the average price last time I looked was around four bucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is outstanding. Uh, where is it? $4.80, so it's actually going up. Now EA has outdone themselves here, which isn't hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] EA has outdone themselves here because, normally, the way Humble Bundle works is it's up to the person buying the bundle to decide how much money to allocate to the developer and then how much to allocate to Humble Bundle. You know, hey, thanks for doing this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, so you, there, look at this. E, actually, I'm not even gonna, you know, poomch this because it's not fair. They have gone the extra mile here. Most of the games are available on Steam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? They're giving away their games for charity this week. They're raising millions of dollars, so...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so Sims 3, uh, there's been some issues. People haven't been able to activate it. There doesn't seem to be a clear answer, whether it's related to region, or Windows 8, or EA's pointing the finger back at Humble Bundle.
