Awesome Hardware #0003-A (ICYMI) - Valve Steam Link, $400 Gaming PC, QWOP

2015-03-04
and we're live no no we might be life we might be live but in the event that we are hello and welcome to awesome hardware this is episode three I'm Kyle and I pull my colleague Paul and we have a good show for you guys today obviously just good not great no it's not don't get your expectations up too much expect the utmost mediocracy it's is I mean if nothing else we're starting a little bit later this is actually the first week we've broadcast a start time for the show right so naturally we may we missed it by about 25 minutes yeah we will we will go back do some more Rd and back with a more accurate presentation next week but for now we do have an announcement before we get started into our various segments that is that being our good friend Josh from fractal design as most of you guys know he's a very advocate a huge advocate of Twitter and stuff he's he's kind of graced himself with his presence also I'm also good also a good friend not great good friend that's right I'm just kidding - he is doing a pretty cool discussion tomorrow he's doing a live stream with I the Greek so at 7 o'clock Central Time that's central right CST is Central Time I believe so 7:00 p.m. CST you interpret that everyone he's going to be discussing how to approach vendors on twitch.tv /i the Greek so on either Greeks YouTube twitch channel sorry but it's gonna be a really interesting discussion targeted at smaller and/or aspiring reviewers tech tubers like like myself and Paul tech bloggers tech vloggers he's going to be going over several topics that are really interesting such as like the best practice for approaching vendors when you're asking for review samples something that I know I always really I had no direction at first when I started doing this whole thing but I've had a lot of success with leg humping leg humping yes I'm gonna steal that one see how that goes over it's like hey how about a new video card no how about now okay video cards everywhere so in addition he's going to be doing some Q&A live for you guys as well so definitely they're gonna be covering a multitude of different topics but should be a pretty sweet stream so go ahead check it out again 7:00 p.m. tomorrow that's Wednesday at CST CST at I either Greek I left I left all the details to you on this one cuz I know no you know I have one right here I have them right here so go check that out I'll type it in right here twitch TV /i I the Greek Greek make sure you have that right I have the Greek yes that's it so uh I might even pop in for a bit while it's happening so pretty sweet okay on with the news or on with our segments my first segment this is a new one to the show that they kind of just thought of on the way over here actually I got to Paul's house and I was like I just think of a new segment and just popped in my head this segment is called hot and heavy hardware yeah and like it as you might have guessed it's about porn no I'm just it has nothing to do it porn it's actually no hardware so Paul Paul has very much experience with hardware so hit you'll like this second of all I hope I do you do a channel dedicated to it that's true that's very true that I have no excuse other than to like this segment alright so first off basically the segment is focused on hardware and the first bit of hardware that I have today is the power color radeon r9 290 pcs plus pcs plus I think the pcs plus his power colored Super Plus power color special pen however color sexy sexy plus whatever it is that's sexy I think will go a sexy so the power color sexy plus radeon r9 290 now right Kyle what is it about this r9 290 that makes it special unique are different from other r9 290 s I'm glad you asked that Paul I have just the answer but first I kind of wanted to speculate as to why this is even an article being brought up in the first place on hexxus I believe I got this on hexxus essentially AMD's trying to target that sweet spot between the gtx 960 and the gtx 970 okay I think what the article was kind of alluding to was that nvidia has been under a lot of scrutiny lately with their arson with her with her r70 with their GTX 970 with the whole frame buffer thing the whole issue for gig versus three-and-a-half gig okay of course there was a huge huge fire over that as well as the GTX 960 just not really meeting up living up to many people's expectations as far as not not being a huge performance over the last generation predecessor so I guess AMD is trying to capitalize on it with this particular card and it's supposed to meet those those kind of sweet spot requirements between the two as far as price to performance goes so just a little bit about the card it's it's a retailing for about 280 I saw it on 280 at 284 for refer that price on Newegg that's a good forty fifty bucks less than a than a nine sensitivity right at retail yes and it's quite a bit more than the 210 dollar price tag of the GTX 960 but performance is just through the roof comparatively speaking and and they were able to hit performance pretty much on par with an overclocked GTX 970 okay so that was really good now not just to stock nine seventy seventy over class names overclocked 970 beautiful big differentiation so that's really cool four gigs of VRAM which everyone's gonna be happy about especially you know again given the whole 970 debacle four gigs for full gigs a video RAM that it'll be able to pull from it's a two and a half slot cooler so it's it's pre beefy it spans the entire 290 millimeter length of the card so but you know how like some PCBs kind of extend over the cooler yeah and vice versa this is the actual full length it's a two and a half slot cooler it has five thicker heat pipes didn't say how wide the the heat pipes were I'm guessing there it has a backplate probably eight millimeters yes it has a metallic backplate the cooler is made of plastic but pretty nice backplate reference specs of the r9 and that's kind of interesting too because I think how much was the r9 290x when it when it first retailed about a year it goes like 500 bucks it's you 90 X minute launch plus 550 right so this is this is scaling back quite a bit prices have dropped dramatically which is nice to see and it's just it's a beast of a card in terms of factory overclocking it still uses an 8 + 6 pin PCI connector and they've even added some glue to the VRMs to mitigate what is it what's it called oil wine oil wine yes I hate colour coil wine it is the worst ever exist + criminal he probably will block and that's that's pretty much it so I don't wanna ramble on too much more about about this card but it is quite compelling giving me the benchmarks that hexxus was able to run Andy has proven that in the absence of actual new silicon or new GPU architecture that they are quite adept at taking their existing hardware juicing it a little bit usually with some type of custom a cooling solution and then rebadging it as a new card now there's another debate to get into over that practice as a whole however if it helps them stay competitive with NVIDIA I think it's a good thing and definitely a 290 is a really good price to performance card from the get-go so taking one and having it overclocked out of the box and having a better cooling solution I think is a win yes oh yeah is this out now I didn't catch that yeah you can buy it's available yeah ok cool everyone go buy one it was sold out on new ink already but I think you can still buy it on Amazon really using my pulse affiliate link yes yes either of ours or a boat with them by - yes crossfire right to leave everything on Amazon I use alright so moving on with the other segment my next piece of what is the segment called again we need to hammer this home hot heavy hardware I hope that too much that was good that was very enthusiastic now we need some good graphics to throw up there so we have an SSD yes we do an SSD news crucial MX 200 successor to the ever popular MX 111 I really liked the MX 182 there they're always like it's like such good bang for the buck yeah terms of SS do you say the three stuff so basically you're looking at three different models 250 500 and one terabyte models ok and you'll notice that's with the MX 100 they they were actually a little slightly higher capacity with 256 512 and a little bit higher than a single terabyte and that's due to this new caching technology that they've implemented called dynamic right allocation which can essentially use spare NAND in performance single bit Purcell SLC mode rather than the usual two bits per cell mlc okay so that's so that's why it kind of cuts into the capacity and that's why they're slightly less fewer gigs on each of the drives respectively but the end result is is theoretically faster throughput yeah that's something you see pretty frequently with with SSDs is using part of the NAND itself but using a mlc bit or a cell as a st. SNS LC cell has gained more popularity I know Samsung also does that with the the Evo yeah and it's pretty effective yeah um so that's that's a cool way of doing things and I'm just I'm just happy for affordable SSDs and that's what the MX 100 was really all about was giving you 90-95 performance of 95% performance of the highest end SSDs you're coming in at a much lower price right and yeah 500 gig SSDs or even Tara I don't have a terabyte that's it's not but I'm so happy about them yeah and this is good so this should hopefully drive also maybe the prices of other SSDs down even further as well yeah absolutely I think that it's also saying something that they're not even making they're not even bothering with 128 gigabyte model now no price has gone down so dramatically actually I was going through my old SSDs cuz my wife's old computer that's handed down to her dad had a ocz vertex to that failed and I had to find a replacement I was like oh I need to find a replacement and I have a couple to 250s around but those are more useful for me yeah so I was looking there and I have like a couple like 30 gig SSDs and 60 GB SSDs and like they have nothing to do with these they're they're good they are good for Intel Smart Response technology rather that I will say so yeah so there's nothing that's don't don't just toss away your old SSDs even if they're low capacity right or you know what even if you don't have Intel Smart Response you could also use it just for a cast drive for like premiere oh yeah that's what I you use my 64 gig crucial a.m. for forced oh yeah just have another drive free SSD on there yeah that's that's another good solution for it yeah people all right alright moving on to the next one this is the last one in the list for a hot and heavy hardware drive their homes now for every two good products that I talked about in this segment I got to talk about one that sucks so this is the Mad Catz surf our surfer surf bar should I become a seen it and no I shouldn't okay don't do it but I thought this was kind of silly it's a gaming controller for Android consoles and mobile devices with a built-in QWERTY keyboard which kind of sounds cool in conception but I think the review that scene that was saying is that the joystick there's a choices on each side that's too small to really game effectively if you have average or larger sized hands that is a very small choice but if you take a look you'll see that like the ax and and B buttons are directly circled around the joystick okay so it actually saves space on the controller which I thought was kind of innovative that's interesting and it might even allow you to hit them a bit quicker because they're all equidistant away from the joystick and it's gonna be 650 pounds 67 bucks about 60 67 dollars u.s. yeah Wow the conversion rate has really it's going it's the gap it used to be 60 pounds was at least like thousand thousand dollars that's pretty cool I mean I like but Android I don't gain much on Android so again neither do I neither do i and the reason why I even consider this in the first place is using it for an article is because I imagine the possibility of using it for an HTP see ah yes that would be kind of cool so it's just the windows and it just is like a USB nub that sticks and then yeah I think it didn't say if it was radiofrequency or bluetooth but it's a good question but yeah I mean if it was for an HP PC at 67 bucks I would I would definitely consider it yes especially because I like the key layout I like how the keys are kind of spaced out like there's like a millimeter or two of spacing between them which probably leads to less frequent typos nice to have a tiny little wireless keyboard for furniture CPC definitely absolutely definitely and for sure and that concludes hot and heavy heart all right beautiful yeah oh that's right so great job Cal yeah we should do it without taking our clothes off okay all right so the next segment is also a new one that I kind of thought oh wait before we go into the next segment quick plug at the end of this video or towards the end of the show or at the part two of the show we're gonna do some Q&A so sweet sweet some questions to us at our Twitter handles which are down here below I'm also kind of trying to monitor the chat and grab a few questions out of there as well at the same time but yeah we're gonna take some questions at the very end oh thanks okay good boy good boy Paul all right so this this next one is called Builder rig and you guys may have seen this done on other YouTube channels I know Logan was doing this for a while where he would he would upload a video no one's ever done this before was completely original and unique but I have a dream once that Logan did a video on it where he basically takes a use case scenario PC and basically just picks out the parts for it he doesn't actually physically gather them together and build it but he'll he'll like go on websites and and pick out parts for it whatever it may be so today's today's segment revolves around a $400 gaming PC so I thought that was a pretty good $400 $400 not including operating system I have no precedent for this I didn't I didn't look at any of this stuff oh that's not seen anything I just kind of threw this together and this is the best I could find for a lack of time and they can do too tight constraints I just kind of went to Newegg you can maybe find some parts cheaper elsewhere but I managed to get it right at 390 $9.94 I was very proud of myself that is very let you're using up almost all of your money that I know I know that's the point so I'm sure there's a price case right 99 94 so I'm just gonna go down the line actually I'm gonna start with the CPU and move on to the other components but the CPU of choice that I went with was the the G 30 what is it 32 58 yeah 32:58 1350 a very popular processor in this price range which is kind of unprecedented for Intel it's a dual-core 3.2 gigahertz but it's unlocked so you can overclock it which is awesome and it's $70 so I thought this was kind of a unique very niche type of CPU that would work well in something like this and because when I think gaming PC I think overclockable this is exactly the CPU that I was talking about this is also the 2020 20 year 20 year anniversary celebration University position so super cool I was really excited to put this in the list and the motherboard of choice would be the Biostar h8 181 n hv 3 so 1150 socket of course 30 40 bucks 40 bucks for an 1150 LGA 881 of course so it's it's obviously not z97 or anything like upsets cut down a little bit yes but then a micro ATX you don't have quite as much space anyway right 40 bucks per motherboard and and I also did check I did factor in like user reviews just too so if I saw something that got one egg even though it might have been cheaper I still opted for the better better reviewed product is very important and then additionally memory I went with Myshkin Myshkin offers really decent performance for the price I always feel like they're they're like kind of like crucial in that way memory goes I'm not keeping up I'm reading reviews on that motherboard okay second wishes so we got a Myshkin now 2gig or a 2x4 gig kit yeah eight gigs pretty standard at 1600 not too shabby SSD was the 240 gig PNY optima just 90 bucks SATA 3 synchronous mode I was actually surprised to find that that's pretty nice yeah and then as far as video cards now this is gonna be like the people who will either be like yeah good choice Kyle or people would be like no you should have cut resources elsewhere and saved more money for a better card I went with the 250x know keep in mind $400 gaming PC yeah and I wanted to make I wanted to get a processor that was overclockable at least dual-core so this is the video card that I was able to come up with it's a hundred dollar card and the reviews were actually quite good I don't know if I found the reviews on Newegg or elsewhere but I checked the benchmarks and I was like okay if you're playing at 1080 even if you play some triple-a titles maybe bump it down medium or low and you can still get a pretty decent game means people were relatively happy with the card XFX is a pretty well-known brand and that's that's just what I went with 2 gigs 2 gig frame buffer 128 gig bus so you know great for 1080 madam post 128-bit obviously you can't max anything out but you can't expect that from a 400 dollar system and then lastly Intel stock cooler by the way I didn't add an aftermarket cooler to keep cost down and lastly the case I went I feel like the the case in some regards is one of those components that you can really cut corners with if you're trying to be on a budget yes so this one includes a 300 watt power supply and another one of those things where it's like I have really had to find something to sacrifice in order to get all the other great hardware that's in there 40 bucks on the case and the power supply and the power supply I was really really pinching pennies at this point yeah but I don't know it has 52 reviews for four eggs I mean when in doubt look at the eggs sure every every case scenario is different but um I felt like this this might be okay for this power for this is a 300 watt power supply is probably gonna be fine oh for sure I added that up okay granted I mean that is that is gonna be like you know number one or near number one on your on your upgrade list getting that power supply out of there for sure but nice to get all that stuff and a 240 gig SSD for for 400 bucks that's pretty nice good job Kyle thank you um I'm curious because I know there's there's lots of alternatives and what they did you 32:58 i've had like at first Dez really happy about it but then it like of course it came out in the same year that like quad-core started becoming actually somewhat important for for for gaming I mean granted there's still tons of games that aren't optimized for quad-core at all at all but battlefield 4 is a big one that's out there for K 4 so that's why the G 32 58 option has been one that's been like a little bit more hesitant to offer but if you're not playing high-end games and if you're building $4 computer you're not gonna be playing you know you're not building this to play battlefield for the America for it and max resin then it's a great choice and I'm curious what the AMD alternative to this in the future we should do this one and we'll have like we'll have a battle with it new fiber brushes water sits blue or something like that because with AMD for roughly the same price for motherboard and processor you can get a quad core yeah and I true completely blanking on which skew of CPU I'm thinking of I think it's an AM 3 plus not a not an FM 2 plus but anyway but nice there's a $400 computers that you guys should all go buy I don't you guys also let me know let me know what you guys think of the computer I know you guys have probably already come and just missed it in the chat but yeah we got some good comments some people were impressed but yeah I mean I think the the SSD in there like this would be a great computer for like even take that video card out and for 3 million dollars yeah this is a great simple basic little computer for anyone who just needs some c4 like you know a cheap is here parents or grandparents or something you know if you're not gonna be gaming that G 32:58 has an integrated graphics too that is right and you'd be all set for that so so I think I was like I think next week my build every segment should be a $300 grandparent PC and I'll remove the 250 X okay all right and third segment moving on here we've got another round of face-off return of your classic where Paul and I return to the classic where Paul and I go head-to-head in a crappy two-player game online and and then something bad happens to the loser oh did you choose I haven't I haven't taken a bad thing down there I know I didn't have time I was just I couldn't think of anything bad enough cuz so far in the last two episodes you've lost so I was trying to think of something really bad this time did I lose both I lost you did my sister lost slime volleyball and you lost a pacman that's cuz both of those games you had gone in and practice extensive I did knocks forehand well and tonight my mole veteran alright well if we're gonna be playing some QWOP we're playing around I better get in game ready I've have a Lagunitas stout here who delicious in case you're wondering my I'm drinking stone enjoy bye this is like one of their branding things where it's like let's make it as fresh as possible and force people to drink it by a certain date to get the fullest freshest experience this is enjoyed by February 14th so this is actually like almost a month old it's like two months two weeks old you support Cheers all right so we're gonna play some QWOP guys let us know in the the chat right now right now what the loser has to do nothing bolder uh yeah we need some acute suggestions in chat for what I it's hard to think up something like that on the spot cuz it's got to be like what like a bad I like a commitment it's gonna be bad enough for it to be a legitimate consequence there's a fine line with punishment yeah I love life while we're waiting for you guys to shower us with your fantastic ideas for the consequence I'm also going to mention that this week we're using a webcam to broadcast which is why we haven't gone had gotten to go over there and switch off the camera at all or switch it back on from turning off right we do have a new camera that we're gonna start to use next week it hasn't arrived yet and hopefully that one will solve all of our problems the webcams doing a great job so far that's probably just not quite as as sharp as as the DSLR is worth all right so we've got some insane suggestions what do I really like shave shave their face shave their face we have to shave our face no what do you mean no if if I hadn't branded this then yes we could have but this is like Howard how are people going to you're you're a man it'll grow back by your next video how will people buy you're a hairy white man these are inside out don't be a baby that's how I will look twelve neither of those are my shirts I was trying to do a shameless product placement of my shirts which I conveniently placed there but those are just normal shirts without my little assignment all right so wait what no we're not shaving I know that was a great idea okay other ones include someone gets to drink someone else's beer that wouldn't work for me because I have to drive home yeah Cal's got a pair I would tell Cal's a DD for today start next week nice and easy stream drunk like we already halfway do that sort of what we should just play the game people hate cam I have to make videos tomorrow I can't no one will notice everyone will know I would see if something like it's just something like a shave something that's gonna have a lasting effect like I'm not opposed to that but you can't spring it on me I have to be mentally prepared oh I have to you were so inflexible I know exactly that's how I get out of things all the time not a geek said hey if you lose the soul patch your channels doomed that's that is true all right so co-op is a kewpie no I I'm I'm gonna be O and B you O and B which is the ABS and you're gonna be the sighs oh oh no no I thought I was gonna say oh is it just you do like three runs and will record your best score and then I'll do three you guys I've never played this before it doesn't matter you know it seemed I played it a million times I have no idea how it works no idea all right it's just there's no real mechanic to it no I'm sure a lot of you at home will be like yeah there's me physics-based it's a physics based shooter you without guns track with the runners all right buttons to control their legs all right let's let's do it okay you're gonna tomato wait oh I'm starting yes take control ideally you around a hundred meters mm-hmm Mr D all right point three there we go point three I'm recording this why Oh point three why did I die press space to reschedule no I like what I get three shots at this yeah and are we doing cumulative or just the the longest single run we really thought this out didn't you let's do let's do cumulative cumulative because that's what I planned initially exactly okay so you have 0.3 Wow I got one point through there once kept like I I'm I think he hyper-extended you like quadrupled your score something that means predict you to mention I have this so the next round I should make the full thousand meters that's right is that even possible in this game some I bet there's YouTube videos of people just running fascinating all right there's no way this game you I don't need your score because it was so bad feel like I need to double check what Kyle's planning for for face-off if you got one point maybe a bet it at one time for let's see I got three point two and one point something one point three so I'm a so you got like one point eight yes calculate it won't matter and Paul this is Kyle just quietly like they're doing backflips to say nothing of the fact that you have me here to start it for you or as I had to use my hand all right let's do this ready go there we go you're starting up oh here we go watch this I'm gonna beat your best it's all about backwards that's the part of the plan and it's like you well I did not know that you could just juggle along on your knees no you should have researched this god I knew it would happen I've already beat you first run two meters all right Kyle wins let me just fall over net but I need to small over this is because if I don't you step back up though you could still go backwards Oh could still you have clearly played on us no I have it much more than I have it I'm just I'm just naturally good at GameXplain this is this is just the type of thing that comes naturally to a pro my god let me go let me go seven freaking meters dude bummer that is actually the best I've ever done in this game believe it or not I usually do what you do I'm gonna go not rightfully so Paul will shave his soul patch yeah tomorrow exactly that was agreed upon or or Kyle needs to draw one thing on your forehead okay the forehead drawing thing can be done when you're doing behalf because I'd be cool with it for the rest of you on my segment but with no explanation for my half of the show I don't think that's the best way yeah all right well we'll figure it out we'll report back to you guys and let you know what all punishment was okay I will she has a nerf gun it'll be fun I'm nerf gun yeah first as I said earth gun something's like a throw rocks at you okay that was a fun that was a fun around I'm glad we played co-op all right and now let's go into a more serious note with some news some tech news and a little bit of stuff from GDC that's going on right now as well as one more Hardware type story because I couldn't fit it all in in hot and heavy hardware and then we'll finish it off as his face couldn't fit all that hot and heavy Articuno in he tried yeah I know just couldn't all right this first one I found is about valve and they announced their steam link and source 2 engine yeah steam link is actually a product and this day announced this at GDC it's a new product from valve that's been designed to extend a user's stream experience it's that where that was supposed to go please to to any room in their house basically bye-bye excuse me by screaming steam content from any PC across the same local home home network so what I think of this is it's kind of like it just connects to your TV via HDMI and it's a stream box and you can stream all of your games from your PC to whatever TV in your house is that is that the impression you got yes it's a $50 streaming device so but it's designed specifically to work with steam yeah and which is also pretty cool because because right now I can stream any steam game from from my my personal desktop computer to my my TV in my living room because I have an HTP C hooked up to it but in do that of having an HTP see you could just get a steam link for 50 whatever to hold on okay I'll hold on breaking news okay steam link has been cancelled what I know I'm just kidding Jesus I'm kidding I'm assuming that because steam link which used to be a link to the steam store where you could buy it Oh different steam link not there anymore the link to steam link is that that's where you know this look yeah I clicked on this one earlier and it linked to the actual product page on okay so steam link is still for sure but steam link link has been cancelled the steam link link to seemly is no longer alright cool so some other information about it it does support steam machines wow that's surprising Linux pcs Windows PCs and Mac's at 20 I'm sorry at 20 at 1080p 60 Hertz beautiful with low latency I think that's really nice it will retail for $50 in the US and will be also be available with the steam controller for an additional $50 so 50 bucks more for the controller yeah yeah that seems a bit so that's a little know maybe it's just got some really I mean that the Xbox controller was 40 bucks for your controller if it's okay if it's if it's I I don't know I was just I'm in the PC mentality where things should be cheaper I guess a little right no yep so 50 bucks seems a lot but I guess when you compare it if it's really well made but thing and if it's one of those types of controllers that just last right for reggae didn't know that kind of stuff then then maybe that's more worth it true and then and I also have to ask you I wonder if you can use any other controllers with it I would think so right like if you can use others like an Xbox 360 controller or PC right so that's a good question I'll be interested streaming device friends who knows I mean it might be running some like little little basic like Linux based thing in there that it runs in order to accept the stream and display it on the screen in which case it might not just allow you to plug and play and a USB device right I'm not sure though I mean that's so TBD on that but very interesting nonetheless and the source 2 engine successful to the original source engine which is very known for creating games like counter-strike in half-life 2 and half-life 3 to be determined confirmed but that's that's cool it's designed for both professional developers as well as gamers who who might be developed interested in developing their own games in the future and I think it's going to be made free for content developers so open source pretty much that's cool yeah sweet that's that's all I have for that article the next one is EVGA announcing their gtx 960 with 4 gigs of ram so for a buffer or gigs yeah it's impossible board legit gigs that's weird that that's where that this 960 will have more Center man and the 970 is gonna have more memory than that yeah that's so obviously this isn't only two things like higher texture quality's better 4k resolution gaming performance and things like that they're also claiming that the coolers new memory mosfet mosfet cooling plate will cool the MOSFETs on the card about 11 degrees celsius cooler than their their current a CX 2.0 cooler so this is actually going to ship with their a CX 2.0 plus there's a lot of pluses going around the video it's a great way to improve a product so you add a plus makes it better it's all around improves cooling thermal dissipation that's Rob I wanna do a shout out to fractal Josh because he just joined chat Hey if nothing else to say that yes Josh we plugged you talk that you're doing with with with by the week yeah we did tomorrow that was the first thing we said so we're getting like front page anyone anyone who goes and views that stream it's probably sent by us yes or just wants to see you guys talking about stuff I feel like I was going somewhere else with that but more shoutouts other people in chat because we have some some some longtime regulars here and I like to give you guys props reviews by Gary is here I am apropos a case propose I'm a purpose is also here welcome thank you for joining us Strider of course is always straight and a geek Strider and rooster was a traitor and rooster had in sergeant ballistic were sprung we sprung mod duties on them last week and they're back again even though we have not asked them to don't even know we're there sticks in here what's up Brandi though Kitty's not here your kitty and yeah especially since in about a half an hour or so not that any of you should be aware of this Nvidia starting an event but art is is way better now you don't have anything to talk about that's important after this all right Kyle you have any more stories on your stories last story of my segment totally switching gears here from Peter DIY PC tech is this story that I found on a big-ass black hole that was discovered in the early universe okay so right right after the Big Bang happened about 875 million years after that occurred this big-ass black hole was created it's a super super massive so this is the church right that is the big red one that's the big right and look at the chart I'd assume this is your story about the biggest I'd assume that's the one all right are you no one would ever do a story on the little green one are you even gonna talk about the Eddington limit no are you yes okay you can fill me Eddington limit because this was the last story obviously this was the last story that Isles filler story no no I was in your kitchen story and you're like are you ready to go live and I'm like last night and I saw heading she's limit now I was like oh hell no really I'm not gonna about to figure out this new new terminology okay space I will briefly explain from the like two seconds I spent reading this story what the Eddington limit is so when a black hole okay it gets to a certain size right what we've what we've learned about black holes more recently not gonna be very specific here because I'm at any research is that it used to be thought that everything that goes in that passes the event horizon on a black hole gets sucked into the center and it's gone forever and that was consumption that was it that was a quandary for astrophysicists because that exhibits a lot of information which is against one of the basic laws of physics right I'm pologize to any physicists if I'm terribly off here so there is actually a halo around black holes where light escapes right assuming that so what the Eddington limit is is that as a black hole gets bigger and bigger and the rate of acceleration of mass getting pulled into it increases the amount of light that has to be given off on the outside also increases relatively to that because more stuff getting pulled in means more stuff has to come out however the light coming out and this is where it gets a little weird actually has a gravitation like I don't want to say gravitational pull actually has an effect on the stuff going in as well okay so you can only get it to a certain size before the stuff being pulled in and the stuff being pulled out can't equalize that's what's known as the Eddington limit and that is what is theoretically at least at this point the largest size of the black hole can ever get and this black hole is doesn't have something to do as lamination like some is the radiation is the radiation of light or the halo at the edges right now it might be something other than just light the constriction after a certain point yeah okay so that's that's my really basic understanding and then there might be some errors in there but okay well yeah but obviously that very very much ties in with this article because the the supermassive black hole that we're talking about here is pretty much as big as we've seen it in the past so it's not unprecedented we've seen other supermassive black holes this big but what's interesting about it is that it's about twelve point eight billion light years away from Earth which means you know you can measure the the age of something in space based on how many light-years away it is based on the speed of light right so basically it was it was formed 875 million years after the Big Bang which is only about 6% of the universe's life when compared to its 13.8 billion billion light year age so so it's like it's like a baby it's like a it's like the grand it's like a great-great-grandfather so it's a really cool it's a really old black hole really little black hole is there any way you can somehow tie that into like a mild insult against Josh or something I can't no not on the stream well yeah sorry I don't quite have that level of wit right exactly so that's big-ass black hole story right so pretty cool stuff I don't want to I don't want to drag on about black hole stuff there's Josh's in the chat no no they don't have atrocities he'll come up with next sir is this the end of your size this concludes side a of a side a of my segment so be sure to stay tuned for Paul segment yes coming up right now and if you guys are watching this go ahead and a archive eject that tape ejects was idler flipped over then you get side by side be on Paul's channel Paul's hardware also feel free to buy a shirt from the awesomesauce merch store and link links in the description as well as a pulse hardware shirt from the the pulse hardware net store yes yeah if you're watching live we're gonna cut for just a moment and then we will be right back with side B that's right thanks for watching see you in just a moment
