everything else perfect that's a good sign okay all right can we start yeah yeah words we're started it has it has begun has begun now this meme is waiting on me alright welcome welcome welcome come one come all hear ye hear ye this be the awesome hardware livestream like a town wait that was a town crier ending right into a pirate yeah we're all about matchups here we promote diversity when we can thank you for being here this is awesome hardware some 186 side a and about a half an hour or so will switch over to side B on Paul's channel usually do a column slash Paul's hardware and yeah we do this every single Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. Pacific time right here on twitch.tv slash awesome hardware and of course our respective YouTube channels thank you for being here we occasionally talk about news and important things and cover things of interest and technology but yeah usually technology related but more frequently we easily more frequently will drink a couple beers on stream as well beers cheese to all of you at home juice thank you or at work a lot of people watch this from work we're very very diverse we're we're very palatable like that you can watch us anywhere Cal has a new glass he's selling in his store yeah yeah I am I'd buy my new GN glasses the new gamers Nexus glass stands for God Kyle's don't buy the gamers Nexus glass from the gamers next to store buy from Kyle store yes you will definitely find all kinds of gamers in Texas merchandise on my store speaking of stores my store is big with tech let's segue Billy Joe Jack thank you Paul for that beautiful alley-oop at that time stream deck worked oh yeah if we're late today it's because if the stream is hit sure blame blame Elgato kinda blame blame Corsair but this is my store you can see we still have the screw with confidence shirts they've been flying off the shelves oh yeah I already have to restock the first batch because you guys are just buying them up so if you already bought one thank you feel free to buy five more you haven't bought one yet where are you wearing one what yeah Paul is wearing one right now in in classic Paul fashion looks really good name on you Paul thank you so comfy

on there screw with confidence exactly it all goes hand in hand Paul also has his store Paul's hardware net you can pick up the new captive thumbscrews short or a selective merchandise ranges from pint glasses to shirts and hoodies and bottle openers that we're using today and everything is very high-quality fun things we will yell John stitches at the end of the show if you happen to pick up anything from either of our stores and if you get anything that's awesome hardware merchandise related then you basically get double Johnson's no you don't you don't get double Johnson's for picking up that we split the profits evenly we split the profits evilly regardless of which site you buy it off of so you don't have to you don't have to be burdened with the task of choosing alright I think that's pretty much it for we don't have any other announcements right it's funny cuz you have subtitles going on on your video there yeah and I'm watching it like live transcribe what we're saying which is which is 95 percent accurate impressive how accurate is and and stumble when it's and when it's not yeah did you get double oh they double double Judds and double Jetson double Judson if you guys want just like an extra entertainment factor turn on subtitles because we're not interesting enough it's pretty fun alright so we can move on to some tech news here I actually have quite a few stories today but they're most of them are pretty short so we'll get through them relatively quick all right the first one is from actually it's not an article it's just posting it's a listing from Newegg this is the AMD rise instead 2700 X AMD 50 gold additions to celebrate their 50th year anniversary gold its old baby for three hundred and twenty nine US dollars compared to two hundred and ninety five for the non special boring to 2700 X but where's the fun of that so obviously you got to pay that extra thirty five bucks to get a gold box you get a gold box you get a wraith prism waiting for them of that real rhythm cooler and the CPU itself has some itching into it I don't know these edging buds leases it's a signature it's a ciggy right they did the photo team a new egg really did a number on this one they took one oh you gotta give him credit yeah that RMD sent them these pictures but I don't know it looks like typical you egg you come now hog Rafi Forge Lisa Sue's Tex right check yes you're anywhere just transcribed that yeah I mean you can just do that straight from the new excite you don't about to buy the processor that's true yeah exactly it's free plagiarism and let you get a badge a certificate yeah there's a nice little which also has Lisa's signature right just to make it even more clear how to plagiarize okay her cig and yeah there's no performance uplift with these chips as far as we can tell if it is it's not advertised we're like oh they must have been demand give them made these better would have been nice like no they're just just kind of itching it's for those you know those guys are going to some gold on the box yeah you know there's a 30 year I'm sorry 50 50 year anniversary there's usually no practical reason to collect to be a collector of things unless you're like selling it back for lots of money it's usually a hobby cause you always have to be about money doesn't doesn't have to be no it doesn't necessarily to be about money sometimes it could be added functionality or performance like if there was if these offer if these were Bend then there might be a more practical reason to buy to spend more money on something like maybe there's a select group of people out there who buy every single AMD processor that they've ever come out with and now this will be another one that they need to add to the collection mahat hundred percent completion that's important but once they make a commitment for that you have to stick with it I'm not knocking 100% completion I'm just saying that it's impractical especially if it's more costly than you know 95 impractical you're you're you straight from a completionists mouth so now I give up I gave a completion ISM I don't hate collectors let the record state do I collect anything currently collect I collect viewers who collect in that everyday I really collect anything I'm probably a boring person I don't you add some depth to your character and start collecting some shit like what would you collect if you were a collector because you don't collect anything either right if you collected something what do you think there's first thing pokemon cards you know those pop figurines I have games I do have a coin collection like an old old coin collection okay I think it is like there was like a year that I collected coins sometime long ago but I still have them I bet they're worth a lot of money I have some comic books okay you know yeah some of those that's in the cards the comic book trading cards that quantify each heroes statistics as far as how powerful they are and stuff that's super nerdy those are those are really helpful right but see comic book collecting is make sense to me because you know you can like there's it's a form of entertainment you get joy out of reading and beginners you can't read the commentaries just you have to be in Pristina in video take it out of the packaging and touch it then that immediately reduces the value and and that you can't have that oh so it is all about money for you what you knocking me for mentioning money and now all of a sudden well I can't it's it's not money it's mint and it's and if it's not mint it's bullshit and so like why would you want something that's not mint condition and if you take it out of the packaging then it's not mint anymore yes the value goes down so that's part of it but it's an it's more about again that had a percent completion and thing now you have to have everything and they have to be perfect right untouched brand sullied by the world a nice game of Thrones reference there Hey the unsullied they were they were important they fought hard um no yeah but the yeah it's the same thing like I used to have polka Mon cars I used to collect it when I was younger and stuff and you know something like oh if it's if it's like an untouched you know mint Edition first first edition chars are it's worth like I should ton of money you know when I was that young I didn't care about keeping it fresh for the money for the value I just liked a really clean card it was just pristine and I just got a hard-on for how frickin perfect it was so again it goes back to my statement my argument which is valid which is a collection as collecting is not often practical it was about the money it would be more practical but no it's nothing practical about keeping something super fresh that's all just a weird internal hard I think that the catalyst I think the term practical is subjective because I would I could argue that if somebody derives joy from something like that then it is practical who are you to shit on someone else's joy that's hmm I will shit off that I'll shit on everyone so you let people collect their it's their stupid comic books and their their their other stuff that they collect all right we got it read the author I'm the author on what is what's enjoyable alright tangent okay how do we do that we managed to turn this really short story into something lengthy it's growing all right let's not the contradicting how you say this is a bad for showing so we have our next topic here about an analyst it's an analyst group called John petty research JP JP are they're pretty well known yeah and they make some bold claims here that in about three years over the next three years roughly 20 million PC gamers are gonna be switching to TV gaming platforms and this is gonna coincide with the declining PC platform and it's waning popularity according to them which I don't think is true and they're saying that this is gonna affect mostly low end users and what what they mean by low end users is stupid people stupid people mainly people that have obviously you'd have to be of low intelligence to be alumni great to an inferior platform that's alright I have an immediate question okay as far as how they're quantifying yeah whatever they're basing this on TV gaming platforms a PC game on the TV all the time I have a gaming PC that's connected to the television in the living room I have wireless controllers for it I can use it in a very similar fashion to a console sure does that count I don't think that counts are they talking about PC gamers who are just plugging their PC into a flat-screen television they should have clarified are they including are they assuming that Nvidia is gonna go crazy selling their big fucking gaming displays or whatever the game if jeez yeah the BFGS know maybe that's part of this is that or no this is all just I phone that all I'm out of my ass by the way it's based on nothing yeah I think what they mean is you know gaming consoles or gaming platforms that are more commonly hooked up to a TV I mean yes people do connect their PCs to TVs to game but it's not quite as common as people who do the same thing with consoles I think there meaning that most PC gamers or 20 millions of PC gamers are gonna switch to non-pc alternatives for their gaming their primary gaming platform and they're saying mostly low end users meaning people who have builds under $1000 of value which if you look at the statistics is the majority of PC gamers anyone most PC gamers have systems that were built for under about under $1000 so they're saying again these are pretty bold claims and the reason why they're saying this is that you know they're saying that there's this is a result of improvements to TV displays console performance is increasing and becoming more like a PC than ever before and there's also the idea of console exclusive titles that are super appealing now they also say that the the the technology in piece is slowing down we're seeing slow slowed down to tech advances on the PC side performance gains are becoming few and far between and you know they're more incremental improvements and performance and they're taking longer to achieve which there might be some truth to that but there's a lot of other things they're overlooking as well for example having technical changes be so far apart also decreases the the price of a PC gaming hardware on PC hardware becomes cheaper if if the time between big launches gets further apart and so it becomes more more approachable there's a lower barrier to entry in that same sense there's also all of these other factors all these benefits of of having a PC that the report ignores like the freedom to choose whatever Hardware you want having custom peripherals open storefronts different mod support for for games work usage the fact that you can multitask with a PC whereas it's a bit more difficult on a console and the list kind of goes on here so it seems like a very short-sighted report even though as you mentioned this is a well-known well-known analyst jpr has been around for a while and a lot of people take their reports seriously and they seem legitimate but it is this one conflicts with what I believe herrmann notions have been what we believe yes so it must be wrong garbage it must be wrong and I just find it hard to believe that they're saying they're claiming that hundreds of millions will flock to TV gaming in the next five years I don't think that's gonna happen I think just like having better graphics there's gonna be that group of people who who want a game with the best and I feel like it's easier to do that as PC hardware gets cheaper you don't need to spend $3,000 on a gaming PC to achieve that you get unlocked frame rates which is fantastic and you can do that with a mid-range system and the keyboard and mouse interface I mean unless unless console can really add start adding full-blown support to all their games the triple-a titles for keyboard and mouse I just don't see it happening because and even if going back to your example of what if they mean if you know are they leaving out the fact that some people connect pcs to their TVs I still don't think there's a really good solution for gaming on a PC in the living room because the keyboard and mouse thing like I feel like you need a desk to use a keyboard mouse effectively I've used the Corsair lapdog and stuff in the past and other other alternatives and it's just not quite as comfortable I need like that extra lumbar support that the office chair offers in order to feel like I really have you know good ergonomics when when gaming on a PC so I don't know I think this is a pretty pretty far-fetched claim and this report seems like it doesn't have a lot of weight to it there are certain truths certain truths here that they point out you know of you know performance gains just being very incremental over the years over the last few years but I still think it's a bunch of bollocks PC glory forever also like just like content creators pushing things forward as you know we're living in the age of the internet like twitch streamers think about all the twitch streamers that are gamers which is the vast majority of twitch streamers they're mostly on PC and I feel like a lot of them get you know sponsorship branded deals with digital storm and cyber power or whatever EK and stuff and they're advertising PC gaming in a sense to all their followers and I feel like PC is still like the holy grail of gaming platforms I feel like that's still the general consensus for most people I mean correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like that's still what everyone strives to to get to is PC PC master-race but I don't know I think it's I think it's stupid all right be clearly clear you have many many thoughts brewing in that mind of yours Paul I'm just waiting to unload them right now and drop some knowledge on us I'd be curious as to how they came to these conclusions yeah it seems like there's a lot of speculation go so I have a point to like if you're talking about gaming in the living room gaming on the living room TV those are becoming more and more often 4k TVs and if you're gonna push 4k yes some of the consoles can do it but if you're gonna do it and have actual good like textures and be able to turn settings up and everything yeah you kind of need it for that yeah all right stupid article I'm pretty stupid now dumb jpr screw you guys let's move on to our next article from hexxus sinden this is the sinden light gun for Windows it's a IndieGoGo urn I'm sorry Kickstarter campaign that is basically a light gun it's playing duck hunt you remember duck hunt right honey yes you ever played duck hunt josh josh is playing duck hunt the fractal Josh yeah hey not all redheads look the same okay you just be good he's a ginger doesn't mean they're very similar haircut and facial structure as well besides being a ginger and that's exactly how josh holds a gun it is he's very he has a very good name so he's very casual about it those are his jeans too and his couch yeah he loves those pillows um so all right this this is crazy they had a 32 thousand dollar goal that's so loud they blew past the thirty two thousand dollar goal they're at about one what are they at look at their Kickstarter page now they were at like 185 when I last checked $185,000 and now they're probably at what 201 190 195 I think it's the raised over yeah 180 686 there are 186 thousand dollars well past their goal of 32 grand and they still have two weeks to go these guys are gonna be like they're probably gonna raise 300 400 maybe even half a million dollars for this friggin light gun who knew there was such a demand for this thing and it makes sense in a way because light guns have been great in the past for CRT monitors they just work really well for those but when you're talking about using a light gun on an LCD display you typically have to introduce sensors into the mix which is why and that introduces a lot of lag which is why the like guns that we've seen in the past from guys like PlayStation and even though we you did not work very well they were just kind of garbage and and the lag was too extreme to overcome those challenges so this is a different type of light gun where it doesn't have a sensor whatsoever there's no sensor bar that you need to sync up because it has a high-speed camera built-in as law as well as they know I'm sorry it has a high-speed camera built-in that recognizes the rectangular border of your TV or monitor which is why - you know TLDR it doesn't actually need a dedicated sensor which reduces the amount of lag significantly it also has its own dedicated CPU which means there's no calibration needed like other light guns and it can add 3d user movement and supported games it's fully window supported fully windows supported so that's cool you can PC game and maybe download you know install some emulators get some emulators going play play games like time crisis or House of the Dead time crisis is fun yeah super fun and you know you can see this being like a great party accessory like a party game accessory is having a couple light guns in the house yeah bust them out when you're you know their own a little fun party with some friends it's a cool little party tool and this is also gonna feature eight buttons that are programmable I should say for the for the eight buttons are programmable you reload with a pump there's a little physical pump that you can you can pump action sorry that's immersive very immersive yeah yeah VR is looking dated in comparison and it's also it's also gonna support Linux at some point they're saying that the linux support is experimental at this point so but i think most people are probably be using this for Windows it can be used with like raspbian which is the one of the main Raspberry Pi os's so you could actually turn a Raspberry Pi into like a retro arcade shooter type of PC which is pretty cool I'm sure they're gonna be some cool applications for this if you wanted to get one of these bad boys you have to pay you have to pay 80 great British pounds GBP to USD is $104 Wow roughly a hundred and four bucks for this gaming accessory which will be worth it more to some than others or you can pay a hundred and thirty great British pounds for the recoil version which I would imagine has some sort of simulated and blowback or kickback on on the actual gun which is pretty cool supported games include like I mentioned ten crisis one two and three House of House of the Dead one two three four and overkill duck hunt point-blank one two and three Terminator 2 arcade Star Wars trilogy Jurassic Park the lost world area 51 and many many more cool I think it's fun it looks fun I think it's fun it it kind of brings you back to that arcade style of gaming yeah that two-player or or you can yeah dual wield right oh yeah totally double fisting right there so um guns very very cool if you guys are interested maybe you know I always hate recommending kick starters or any kind of crowdfunding campaign because you never know if you're gonna get what they promised which is why you've got guys like you know Linus tech tips making entire series web series like kick farter home that that shows off how campaign crowdfunding campaigns can go south I think it's kick farted kick farted sorry feel bad that I know that and for correcting you but I did it anyway ah so that's fun yeah that's super fun someone someone back it and and when you get it let us know if we made the right choice of him not funding it let's move on though to this article from over call three you know net about AMD's latest game bundle that you should all be aware of in case you're looking to buy a new GPU mhm and in particular this is celebrating their 50th year anniversary that we mentioned earlier so it's a very special game bundle very celebratory and it essentially ships with anyone who's purchasing a Rison or chips with horizon 5 or rising 7 mm serious CPU so a 2nd gen rising or you could get an Rx 570 or RX 5 maybe or higher and this game bundle will also be eligible for those GPUs as well what's the game's whether the games include the division to Gold Edition which I think includes some like DLC and stuff like that that you'd always have to pay extra for and World War Z which I'm not too familiar with I've heard of it but I haven't I don't know if it's a good game or not or what the gameplay is like but you get to pretty Triple A games sounds like a math game and a spelling game World War Z yeah right and the division to war for Z from the creator's who brought you Resident Evil and Sesame Street comes in it's like you got to spell the words quickly to letter R in order to survive the zombie apocalypse so uh this is basically this article just goes on to say like you know to reiterate the fact that the rx 570 for example is such a better deal a much better deal right now than the GTX 1650 that was recently launched from Nvidia because it's not only cheaper but it's faster as well in the majority of titles and you know that's it's you can buy an rx 574 much lower than its original MSRP mainly because it's been out for so long which also goes to show the gtx 1650 is is kind of it's it's like two years behind with its performance and nvidia seems to be out of their mind charging the price that they are at 150 USD it's very weird it's so bizarre I don't know is that just a high horse that they're on really like I I don't know you can do it people still buy it are they in that mentality now is that where they are people buy it because it's possible buy it because they want they'll buy in video because I think your videos the best I'm sure this I'm sure that that applies to some degree I'm sure I'm sure that pitch was made at some point when they were discussing position you know market positioning for this product and stuff right but I don't think that's a good thing to ride on you know a short for PC gamers I think very anti clean pretty much more savvy when it comes to actual performance of prints and researching stuff before they buy and everything I mean that's why we do what we do not that not that we're super awesome at it but we do our best point being we are the best 16:50 launch surprising surprising it was that they they saw coming how how poor the reception was going to be and they were still just like now just push it out just hold back the driver so no verviers can review it yeah watch this it's like they even admitted like by doing that they even admitted that they knew it was gonna be a bad launch and that was a bad product that's just it's weird yeah anyway so it goes by don't buy 16 fifty four hundred and fifty dollars buy you can get eight gig 570s I've seen some eight gig five babies for four how not much more yeah maybe 160 yeah hardly more than a GTX sixteen fifty so it really puts it in a difficult position to to vouch for but let's move on to our next article from overclocked 3d once again this is about the Nintendo switch gaming CPU overclocking support what but this is maybe not exactly what you might have thought so this is in reference to the latest update to the Nintendo switch that actually gives a boost mode to the onboard Tegra x1 SOC from 1.0 2-0 gigahertz to 1.75 gigahertz that's nearly a 75% boost pretty darn handy there but this is unfortunately not for continuous use on the Nintendo switch rather it is a boost mode that temporarily kicks in when you're loading games it's to speed up load times so this guy was a testing app testing out Legend of Zelda breath of the wild and found that after the update eleven point something seconds point three 111 some seconds to load for 65 seconds of your life hey every time you load up a Zelda game if you line this up hundreds of times a week or month you know but that's up and it definitely adds up so it's kind of cool that we're getting these uh I guess CPU overclock straight from software updates although it's not that's that Zelda it shrine sorry okay look Zelda sorry yeah I thought I'll do it - no I thought is Legend of Zelda breath of the wild that's loading okay so it's presently just seen ferment shrine loading - shrines probably been maybe a location yeah you're sorry I haven't played breath of the while neither about I do really like Zelda games I just haven't played any of the newer ones yeah same I don't think I've ever played a Zelda game all the way through just very sad really yeah not even the old ones don't tell anyone I said that no I never have cuz I never I think I was just I never got around to playing Legend of Zelda on NES it it didn't even enter my atmosphere like it just wasn't on my radar and then I never had an SNES and when I got n64 I don't know I just for some reason Legend of Zelda never hung out with the wrong crowd you did bad influences yeah obviously yeah it's horrible they're buying like perfect dark yeah I've heard so many positive things about breath of the wilds yeah it's definitely something I would be playing if I felt like I had time to play video games yeah or more than the shirt that's that's what's happened to me is like I know I have so much less time to play video games now so I'm drawn more to the the shirt episodic like like overwatch I like yeah play a couple of games of only watch and then stop playing right you know it's not like the games that are longer that have a story mm-hmm like you play for a couple hours and then you can't play for like a week or two yeah then you come back and like what where am I going on exactly in this game yeah sucks I need bite-sized gaming experiences it's very sad yeah I don't think so fully I'll get a chance to try it at some point yeah so um sorry if anyone thought that they were gonna be able to like liquid cooler switch and get crazy performance in the game and up the FPS which is probably locked anyway yeah that's not exactly what it is but it's still kind of cool that to know to know that the sort of update is possible might be applicable in future generations of consul I let's move on to our last article for this segment of tech news which is from Ars Technica referencing a TV that samsung has made specifically for Millennials Oh which is really weird kind of a specific demo but this is a 43 inch zero or cero ser Oh Sarah I don't know how to pronounce it that's what the model name is zero the 43 inch 0 goes landscape or portrait mode hey why would you ever want a TV a 43 inch TV to go portrait mode you ask well as the increasing number of Millennials continue to view mobile content on their mobile devices maybe some of those Millennials will also want to see that same content on a large screen so there is built-in NFC technology into the 0 that that comes equipped with a very simple and easy to use mirroring function so you can actually mirror what's on your phone on to this 43 inch vertical TV so yeah if you're watching Instagram TV for example which is shot in portrait mode and displayed in portrait mode or you happen to be on is it really yes god yeah it's all vertical and it's very disturbing uh it just I don't like it I wanted it rubs me the wrong way it's exactly right it does it's quite traumatizing and then you also have well that's it it's just it's a TV that goes vertical nothing else special nothing special they made a stand that can rotate watch your tick-tock videos the way they were intended to be on a large screen in your living room no that's not it's not at all maybe mobile content most of our content is so shitty it's maybe it's meant to be on a 5 inch screen and no larger than that you ever think about that and also so the author of the article brings up a good point you know the reason why vertical video exists in the first place is because people are too damn lazy and can't be bothered to rotate their five inch screens 90 degrees why the hell are they gonna do it with a 43 inch TV very good point damn good point don't worry it's only one point eight nine million one Korean one which equates to about $1,600 u.s. that's X I left updated pressure in the original article said it was sixteen thousand dollars but sixteen thousand dollars yeah oh yeah but then they updated it I only read the update to because I felt ya 18.9 million one is the Google Translate bug it's one point eight nine million won or sixteen hundred dollars and this is all gonna be a Korea launched South Korean launch so you have to worry about getting annoyed by it in the US or anywhere else let's move on you can still get annoyed by it even if you're not in Korea that's true it's not as in your face perhaps all right let's move on to our next segment here which is text Bailes oh I forgot to give you the damn you didn't forget you son of a bitch you made it can we do it impromptu maybe I can do a song and dance quick enough for you to for you to load that up so you see here kids the segment tech fails focuses on technology whether it be Hardware concepts or ideas practices that have in some way or another Vale where'd you put it oh crap I forgot to put on the USB never ever forget it damn it I spent time on it too it was so cool it's actually really terrible lower thirds I say this in the desktop son of a bitch all right we should make everyone wait at least another minute so we just so they can see that we can no no and they see it they'll be like it was not worth it at all let's talk about our first tech fails article here it's actually not an article it's actually a YouTube video my friend our one really friend J's two cents Oh J all right so it's titled this PC wouldn't boot you'll never guess why and it all stems from a huge tech fail that being the SSD the HyperX fury RGB two-and-a-half inch SSD that got so hot that overheated so badly due to the 75 RGB LEDs that are in it that it actually malfunctioned and prevented Windows from booting so he actually has a thermal camera on here this is as soon as he turns the LEDs on the SSD again 75 LEDs why would you even cram that many that much lighting onto such a small device you can see that the temperature is rising this is in real - okay almost real-time its 115 X 15 times faster than real time which is definitely not real time but the fact that this is still increasing well beyond its idle temps without the LEDs on of like he wasn't doing anything with with it there either no he wasn't even doing anything it was completely idle is this is just the LEDs heating up the drive so I went from 30 C to around 70 C more than doubled the temperature more than doubled just from having the LEDs on at idle the the SSD wasn't doing anything and it was still getting so hot it could not function properly it's insane he even had a case fan at one point he tried aiming a case fan directly on to the drive to see if that would help thermal throttling mm-hmm it did very minimal it basically did nothing it was not very effective whatsoever so not even good cooling proper cooling in a case could help this situation now this is probably the controller that's overheating the actual controller rest as opposed to the individual man chips because man tends to do a lot better under under heat when it's when it's warmed up then controllers do of course there is a maximum point where that all falls to shit and NAND will will overheat but it has a much higher heat tolerance than controllers do so I would speculate that it's really the controller that was uh that was getting too hot because the LEDs I didn't watch this whole video does he really try to put a water cooler on it at the end I don't think he'd put a water cooler on it it's got an AI oh he's trying to attach to a plate I don't member seeing this part so I clearly didn't watch the whole thing I mean it's a J video you know it's J doing this thing I'm sure it's great it's a great video solid content but you know I'm gonna watch the whole thing it's it's at least 10 minutes and one second it's a lot of time effective I don't know but but yeah it's good video guys check it out you know what's interesting is that the white LED got it hottest the quickest like when you switch it over to a different color like red or blue it didn't actually get as hot or it would take a lot longer to heat up that mixed where it was with the white that makes perfect sense oh yeah I guess it does because all the colors are maxed out right and so all the only DS are at full because white is all usually about usually an RGB has three three small LEDs right a red a green and a blue and if you put them all at max brightness that's what's white yeah I guess that makes sense I think about that so I guess this is all to say that if you're gonna buy a HyperX fury re GB SSD don't unless you're ok with disabling the SS don't you don't you get the RGB one do they have a non RGB version of the fury yeah okay there you go there you go that's obviously it if you like the drive itself the way it looks does it seem really necessary it's purely an aesthetic movement so first tech fail of the day Thank You J for shading light on that let's all and he got on trending on that one by the way he was on forty number 45 on YouTube trending no video so congrats J good job Jay yeah it's looking good let's move on to our second tech fail of the day which is from is an article from iFixit and they're briefly talking about how or why the Samsung Galaxy fold has been failing as hard as it has been have you seen any of the sort of videos on the Galaxy fold or why people are so a couple underwhelmed by it here and there there have been many people many different reviewers who have taken a first look and just found it and it's all been unanimously bad press this thing has just gotten creamed one way or another for various reasons and so I fix it being the fix-it pros or pair pros that they are take another look and are speculating in this article as to why it's doing such a bad job the first thing they say is that you know they give ol Ed's credit because is using an OLED screen of course Oh LEDs are the only type of screen right now that can really fold in this manner especially due to the fact that they don't have a backlight that LCD panels are usually fitted with or stuck with but they're also a lot more delicate and just overall fragile than LS LS D LCDs different story which which means that they're prone to complete failure as opposed to more localized damage with an LCD you might have some dead pixels in one area but the rest of the screen works perfectly fine whereas an OLED is much more prone to just you know kicking the bucket entirely if any one little thing goes wrong so there are a lot more fragile even though they're more foldable a better term so even a small crap in a crap while my words are words or words or words even a small crack in in the encapsulation layer that that surrounds the OLED layer can permanently damage organic materials inside the display and this is because o LEDs are highly sensitive to things like oxygen and moisture which is why it's so surprising that several of the reviewers reviewers found I guess lack of a better term like backdoors or just open cracks in the phone either behind the fold like behind the actual spine of the phone and in the other hinge area these are actually open areas gaps in the phone that would allow dust and other particles and other little tiny objects like sand grains of sand and stuff to actually get up in there in the phone and under the OLED screen the hits and I hate sand to read it's everywhere that's why I never go to the beach because I my phone is too important to me but it's even more of an issue here with with this this foldable display since it has so many gaps in it and there's even like so imagine you know the phone opens kind of like a book and there's a display on either side and those decisions a fixed to the phone itself but the spine the middle of that screen isn't really fixed to anything it has to be loose it has to be able to flex so that the phone can bend and open and close and so that that loose flex area of the spine means that the OLED screen could potentially press against objects that got stuck inside of the phone in that area which is why several the reviewers actually saw over time that there were like little bumps in the screen almost like just little like little things that were like protruding trying to like break through the screen like just little bumps because that's actually a perfect picture because there's maybe a grain of sand in there or something like that or some dirt or dust or debris that is really just being pressed up against this very thin and fragile display so there's also another thing with the screen there's like a screen protector apparently what looks to be a pre-installed screen protector marques Brownlee mkbhd did of course sort of a first impressions look he thought it was a screen protector that was pre-installed so when he tried to peel it off he realized oh this is not a screen protector it is actually a vital part of the phone and removing it or attempting to remove it will potentially permanently damage your phone and his actually blacked out so taking off the screen protector actually caused his phone to black out completely and he had to get sent a completely new unit in order to continue his initial review you might also have to start over a replacement yes yes exactly so this is just you know trying to take it off would would just potentially apply too much pressure on the underlying surface which would kill the OLED and there's just a bunch of other there's a laundry list of issues here so that's why they've delayed the lunch which is why they've delayed the launch and good call rightfully so maybe they'll come back even stronger I hope they do otherwise this this phone is screwed let's talk about other phones that have been royally screwed lately including this one from energizer or the energizer big battery p18 kpop smartphone that we've talked about several times on the show and it was known for having a ridiculous 18,000 milliamp battery but also being as a consequence thick more than three times thicker than most smartphones thick and significantly heavier thick bone making it difficult to fit in even larger pockets for most people this was designed by the company a venir I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing that right and a veneer who license the energy or the energizer and brand name with hopes of mass production it's almost like a Veck seer but and of X here I've been here that's that's why it sounded familiar yeah good let's do two observation Paul so they actually put the P 18k pop on IndieGoGo with an early bird price of 549 us and I had a goal there are 1.2 million dollars they're really shooting for the stars there they ended up with 15,000 just over $15,000 so I'm quite the opposite success story that our light gun had it has been having we mentioned earlier this no that's not a lot of money they fell 99% short of their goal why maybe they are listening too much because I've heard a lot of people say like for for the phone manufacturers who were eternally seeking the thinnest possible phone they can design and a lot of people are like it doesn't have to be like paper thin it doesn't have to be super super super thin sure I'm okay with it being a little bit thicker if that means it's a little bit more durable or as more battery life or something like that but not this that's too much this is this is taking us as this harkens back to like the 1990s yeah that's that's Rick phones that's fairly absurd no one's gonna buy and so and no one did buy it because it never became a thing because there have enough funding right because what anyone can do is there's there's power bricks that you can get that are this size that have the same amount of power in them and you can get whatever phone you want and just plug it into that when you need it not necessarily have to be holding that thing up anytime you want to use your phone exactly so um so long mr. Popple it was nice knowing you and then finally we have number one on trending YouTube on YouTube trending right now this is the number one video in the world on YouTube it is the Sonic the Hedgehog live-action series do if the disclaimer or a warning official trailer yeah the warning is that play the whole thing don't it's not worth playing the whole you guys can just watch it I think I put it in the description yeah but look at that like to dislike ratio hundred and eighty three thousand dislikes and 125 thousand like I mean it's it's it's getting views like in like crazy it's seven seven point two million views already but when you look at just how they've done this and just like the artwork the stylized really it's onyx onyx face looks messed up and they then they play gangster's paradise which doesn't make any that is like a brief cut in the in the clip but it's like the main song they keep playing it's just a bunch of white dudes and sonic gangster's paradise I don't understand Jim Carrey's in this movie he plays dr. Robotnik dr. Robotnik yet is it yeah which is I think you know it makeup the mustache down but isn't dr. Robotnik's supposed to be fat yeah I feel like it's the very end there's a shot where you know he must go through some transformative thing that happens okay where he looks more like doctor maybe this is the extent of the trailer and I only saw just the short version but I think you know Jim Carrey is great I love Jim Carrey this is the pressure but I also just don't believe in this film look at how creepy he looks he looks like Michael Jackson look at his nose he looks like he's had plastic surgery on his nose he's got a creepy human smile yeah right and the voice actor is Ben Schwartz which which is I like him as an actor he's cool but I just I'm not seeing it I didn't laugh once and in the trailer even though even in the funny parts there's no I'm not showing this anymore no no don't show it anymore okay I don't know I feel like this is a movie that you watch because you want to do a react video to it yeah you know because it's so cringy that that's it's only redeeming value not that it's gonna win some Oscars or anything yeah but that's that's it for my half okay we'll end on that awful awful note the only thing that could possibly pick us up from here is moving on to Paul's my half of this so guys thank you very much for tuning in don't go anywhere though you can follow the link in my description if you're watching me on YouTube to go to Paula's Channel it'll take you right to the second half of today's stream or you can stay right where you are on twitch TV / awesome hardware thank you to anyone who's gonna do time stamps your every day tech if that's you you too man you too man and also thank you for in advance to anyone who picked up anything from either of our stores we will be giving you johnson shoutouts during the after party right after Paul's half that's true and also anyone who donated in super Chatwal security system you have booze alright guys we'll be our back bye bye bye cut cut
