What Tech Do I Use? Ask Me #013

2014-04-04
hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with the new ask me where I go for all kinds of questions straight from you guys are you primarily a PC gamer or do you play consoles more than PC as you guys probably guessed I tend to lean a little bit more toward the PC gaming side of things however I do play games pretty much regardless of where they are so I've been playing a lot of threes on my phone lately which is a surprisingly fun game titanfall is actually something I've been using on the Xbox one a lot lately and there's a lot of kind of like console specific games like Halo and GTA 5 and those kind of things so yeah I generally do prefer playing on PC if I can how it's not like ooh consoles I took the minutes you know their games right now it doesn't matter would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or one hundred duck-sized horses so the way I look at it ducks are way meaner than horses so you get like a big like 8 9 10 foot tall duck that might be a little bit of a tricky thing I mean I'm not saying I couldn't take it because just for the record I could totally take it but I think it'd be a little easier with just a bunch of little horses just kind of like now nobody deal they're just nice little ponies or something but the duck um I guess I'll take it right don't don't forget that part I can take it but I probably prefer to go with the horses what is your daily driver for a phone right now and why is that your phone right now I've actually been using the iPhone 5s for a while so I picked it up I really wasn't planning on doing a whole lot with it I mean I got the iPhone 5 reviewed it and pretty much immediately sold it and I was planning on doing the same thing with the 5s but it's actually a really good package so I think iOS 7 does a lot to improve I think that the a7 processor is really really really awesome but most importantly I love the camera so yes there are technically phones with better megapixel careless and this and that however the overall package for taking pictures on a phone I feel like the iPhone is still on top so the image quality is fantastic so I love going on Instagram just going out on adventures than taking a lot of pictures I've gotten a lot of killer shots in the 5s but they also the interface as far as getting the pictures is super smooth super responsive I almost never miss any good shots and there's a lot of great photo sharing apps such as Instagram as well as being able to edit your photos so overall what's definitely not perfect which battery life is better and the screen is just absurdly small but actually really still like the iPhone 5 this what do you do for a living I feel like I've answered this question quite a few times but my full-time job is I should've been YouTube for the last few years now so I know I haven't posted a lot of videos in the last couple weeks and I do apologize for that however I've been working on some big projects that are going to be coming live in the next few weeks I know I generally don't like teasing stuff but here's just a little clip on what I've been working on you guys get this I'm gonna be really good I like me okay honestly there's no way of idiots thoughts on the NVIDIA Titan Z it's definitely a cool card how it's for a very very specific person so generally speaking $3,000 is a lot for a card especially when you can get more performance from a pair of Titan blacks which is going to cost you quite a bit less if you don't need the full compute performance you can get a lot more bang for your buck if you go for something like a pair of 780 TI's so it's a cool card but it's worth like I said a very very specific person if you're just going to be gaming on it it's really not gonna make any sense should I get a pebble right now or should I wait for upcoming smartwatches like the Motorola 360 I was actually just making the exact same decision the other day so I spent a little time with the Samsung Galaxy gear last year well it definitely wasn't a perfect SmartWatch it was enough to kind of give me an idea of what a SmartWatch could actually do and how it could be useful so I definitely like the pebble especially the pebble steel however now that I've seen the Moto 360 and some of these Google Android powered smartwatches I think I'm going to wait they look really really cool I can't wait to get my hands on them your take on crypto currencies are they the future of electronic transactions and can they be used as investments crypto currencies like Bitcoin litecoin and dogecoin definitely have a place in my opinion although whether that's a good investments kind of a little up to you however the good thing is you actually don't have to spend any of your own money buying these as you can mine them so I actually had a litecoin PC setup before the fire and I plan on definitely doing another one before too much longer but they're just if it is you actually mine your own currency and then spend it that way so might not be able to make up pile of money like you used to but steadily a very interesting concept I definitely like to do a video on it before too much longer when are you going to switch to a 4k set so there are a lot of pros and cons to moving to 4k so as far as the pros go actually having four times as much resolution is awesome obviously there's going to be a lot more detail in the shots just higher quality crisper just better looking even when you take that 4k footage and watch it in HD however on the downsides it's going to be expensive right so I'm gonna have to get a 4k camera so there definitely some options like the Panasonic gh4 so the Sony a x100 but there's also other gear to consider like a 4k monitor it's going to take extra time to edit extra time to upload and I think the biggest issue with 4k right now is simply that a lot of you guys don't have a 4k screen so it's kind of a lot of extra work for something that not a lot of people are going to see so actually if you guys have any thoughts on like whether you'd like me to go to 4k now or wait if you guys are already set up with 4k let me know in the comments below I mean I could definitely switch over sooner than later but if it's something that you guys really don't notice or don't really care about I'll probably stick with HD for a while longer if you guys have any other questions feel free to hit me up on Twitter Facebook or Google+ I'm also over on Instagram as well that is Instagram calm slash Austin not Duncan anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
