yeah and I've you can really see this like epic dent I have on my nose right now because I actually don't remember if it's from James dropping a sound bar on my face or if it was from something else like I got hit in the face okay so because don't sound bars usually get matted low no no no I mean he was holding it and dropped it on my face why okay so I will admit that this was at least partially my fault and I'm not like I'm not victim blaming herself well I provoked him I wore clothes that made it look like I wanted a sound board I should have known that when he gets a sound bar and it has you know I better steer clear so I'm not I'm not saying that at all I'm saying that it was actually a coordinated effort to capture a shot that okay I actually was at least of a sound bar falling through the air like what the sound bar was supposed to fall into my hands okay so the idea was because it was difficult with the framing of the shot for James to just like I mean so imagine this I'm sitting here hosting a video to you right now and I want to sound by all my head you can't just stand right there cuz then his butts taking up the whole frame so he's he's standing like kind of behind me and like off to the side and it's kind of hard to hold this thing and it's also hard for him to eyeball where exactly is down now I think it was a team fail over Killington says your nose is really big huh yeah so it's funny you know I'm gonna tell a different story now because I remember having this conversation with my mother at one point when I was in high school and I said something something something yeah I I I took the picture this way like from the front because from the side you can tell I have a really big nose and she goes you don't have a big nose and I go yeah I did she goes not no that's not true and I go alright watch and she goes wow you've got a really big nose I went yes I know thank you I told you I have a big nose I don't need you to inform me I have a big nose I'm well aware of the situation that's amazing anyway so back to the back to the soundbar fail so James is holding this sound bar above me and it's kind of hard for him to line it up in his defense he also didn't do an amazing job okay so the idea was I'm leaning forward I'm talking about this other sound bar and then I'm supposed to kind of lean back and another sound bar supposed to fall into my hands now I also didn't lean back as far as I could have because I was a little bit concerned about leaning out of the focus of the camera and it and like when you're trying to pull off like a like a coordinated shot like you know when you do the like here um ah here here madrina this is one of our sponsors today so here like taking madrenas and then like you know like hit me with it boom like when you're trying to pull off the like the no-look like ah yeah we got that we didn't even look well sometimes you don't look yeah so it came down like this so it was really close so yeah so I did well it wasn't that close because as I as I outlined before and I had a conversation with my mother once about this something could hit me in the nose and really not be that close to my face okay you know this isn't that big dude it's big enough that I remember how it's not a small moon okay I remember having a conversation with my wife about this once where I was saying like oh yeah like my face is gross right now I've got like these breakouts and she's she's got far worse breakouts than I do like as a general rule no like she doesn't you know what it's good okay lioness relationship tips for a moment here it's good to have relationship where you can be honest with each other be honest with like hundreds of thousands people I tell her that to her face no I know but you're also broadcasting it to them I guess so I mean but they have eyes look why do we deny reality reality is important oh that's all I was so I was complaining about it and she's basically like you know cut your whining because your skin's overall pretty good and I'm like well no the thing that's so frustrating of those is that I can see it and she goes what do you mean I go well it's on my nose what you can see your nose I'm like yes my nose takes up a significant portion it might be Hilda beep really yeah like I can like I can I can so okay so I can see let's let's go with my right uh okay with my right eye I can see all the way to the very edge of that light okay okay so where my nose sticks out I can see about to the mic stand so like you know the effect where you hold your finger in front of you and you can see through both you know cuz she's Chinese so she has a flatter face sure yeah her eyes she can't yeah maybe a little button but not as okay not nearly to the same degrees but with both eyes open if you're not thinking about you don't generally see your nose no but if there's a red mark like right here it makes it a little it's really noticeable okay it's like really noticeable yeah people are like racist no no physiology is not racist it just is what it is I don't I don't make the rules all right speaking of making the rules let's go through some topics what do we got today yeah yeah until your ice Lake more delays delayed till 2020 is Intel I don't know if this is more delays or a clarification on it previous I don't know if it's more delays on ice Lake necessarily but it L has definitely delayed some stuff over the last couple of years no but yeah that's what I think this delay has already been like realized Ryan we're being like okay this is the date that it's actually coming we knew it was their stock drops 7% today I think meanwhile AMD's picked up I think 17% yesterday speaking of the next topic ambi reports best quarterly profit in seven years which to be clear when your best quarterly profit like literally has to be like profitable you know it's it's good though it's good news it's good news there's a rumor nvidia next gen card details apparently leaking so jensen did go up on stage saying there's no new gaming graphics cards coming but usually when the leaks start coming this hard miss heavy that's an indication that what he said might have been a big fat what's the word that is not no no i don't want to be disparaging o big fat statement that wasn't entirely based on facts given that he's the CEO and he knows what's going on presumably yeah have i allegedly i actually didn't realize that stephen colbert's been doing the allegedly thing like years before i started doing it oh really i thought that was our joke so did I he does allegedly like all the time I don't have just fine HBO's I'm actually okay with coming up with the same joke as Colbert and his writing staff professionals yeah I think that's all we need to come all out yeah oh let's roll the intro boom oh where is it boom first on HBO yeah it seemed like an insignificant I don't have whatever it is actually um actually it's new plus Linux or I've as I've been caught whatever new slide so you saw yes sorry good new you saw Wendell's actually no I actually haven't yet it's open on my computer oh no he's so busy we actually like scripted in a well actually but and he like explains the whole good new plus Linux thing it's it's it's pretty great and the funny thing is like there's gonna be Linux fanboys out there that are like yeah you tell him Wendell but those are the same kinds of people that proudly refer to themselves as PC master-race not realizing that that whole thing was a was supposed to be a jab like that's the whole origin of it was that it was like a oh man words failing me escape escape no not sarcastic not not I thought you're trying to say what not facetious I'm just I'm just trying to figure out what the satire yeah it was supposed to be a satirical thing like you were being made fun of so so anyone who was like yeah you tell him Wendell you were actually the butt of the joke I mean we actually talked about this while he was down here just like the biggest problem with Linux in a lot of ways this is the second time that I have heard about you independently having a conversation with him that mirrors an exact conversation that I had with him separately without he just happily went along with that happening twice so funny like the biggest problem is that when you love something so much and that's what a lot of the Linux community does they love Linux so much and to be clear Linux is good things good good thing to love but when you love it so much that you can't see the flaws then that's where you start to make it hard for other people to share your love yeah like he was installing something and I was like so no one's gonna put me in charge of Linux because no one is strictly speaking in charge of Linux no one's gonna put me in charge but if I was in charge this whole nonsense where you go on like a github page copy a string of text and then paste that into like a terminal prompt to install software that's gotta go that's super gotta go hey how is this it's 12 years 2018 the year's 2018 this is a graphical operating system or a lot of things there are more mainstream alternatives to that yeah there is like an app store style thing on many of the districts and you can install them because it's Linux if you're on a distro that doesn't natively have it I mean even the whole thing with there being so many different distros so if you're trying to I mean this is something that I was talking to one of the writers about in my office we were we were reviewing a script and we were just chatting about how frustrating it is to have to deal with product names that are all either very similar or the same so when you're trying to find information on a on like the MacBook like the 20 I guess it was a 2015 so if you do yeah if you don't know to search for 2015 MacBook non-air or like whatever or like as a certified zone like if your Google and you're trying to figure out what is the MacBook someone is looking very very good job they do a pretty good job but if they're trying to find like a fix for a weird bug or if they're trying to find something like a teardown or an upgrade guide or or a replacement part or something stupid like that how difficult that makes life I mean to the average person and I feel like that's another thing that a lot of the very techie community loses track of to the average person there is no awareness whatsoever that Linux is anything other than Linux they don't know arch devian sento they don't know any of that stuff it's just Linux so if you were to try to search how to install program in Linux we should try it let's do it right now how to install program in Linux I'm going to assume that there's gonna be like alternate stuff Oh screen show let's have the experience in a bracket link back hit man begin which is pretty good a lot of people will be running this let's go let's give it a shot begin a geek how to install software on Linux works differently instead of visiting a web site you'll usually need to grab the software from your Linux distribution software repositories with its package manager I'm already dead know if I'm an average user I'm already like okay I'm done cuz but it realistically that is saying like it's actually quite easy you're gonna use the like app story kind of thing yes it's just like that's called package manager so people are automatically gone that's where you lose them from install software from your distributions repositories ah I mean the reality of it is is like we we live in this sort of this bubble where we just kind of go well people should just people should just learn the lingo but it's funny because whenever you try it try stepping outside of your usual comfort zone which might be tech and go to a hardware store and shop for a tool or go to a makeup store and shop for makeup there's gonna be the guys that know all the hardware stuff and are in this space and there's gonna be the people that know all the I should have said people for both I'm sorry don't don't be mad the people twenty eighteen honest mistake okay everyone the current year thing oh right oh geez oh geez see the problem is that we're just used to Oh bot means nothing just hold on can't learn new tricks like I've tried to say like five words and if we've been here for a minute okay the people that know both of those camps are gonna jump into chat and be like right but my point was to play-doh that you don't know yeah you know walk into a textiles store like I don't know fabric Hannah or something and and what you'll find is that quick it becomes like several main different words for plaid yeah is there technically a little bit different and that kind of stuff is actually not that simple or necessarily good use of your time to learn when all you need that piece of fabric for is to make a makeshift tablecloth yeah you know you don't really care in that so if all you really care about doing on your computer is reading your email you actually will never care what a distribution repository is and you will never care that you don't care and you know what that's actually fine because everybody has different interests you know there are actually I'm not gonna get into like you know all the different words to describe wine because I could that would probably become a different conversation but look up look up to buck chuck winning the blind wine taste test competition because that is a hilarious thing that happened have you heard about this whole story I think you've told me about it in fact I think you've told me on when show but from we can we can we can let people we can let people tell us whether they want to hear together or not yeah yeah you know what do the to do the TLD so the the TLDR was there was a blind taste testing thing I don't remember if the people doing it were were people who were trying to become like wine reviewer people or if they were already wine with your people and they had a whole bunch of different values of wines and two buck chuck is you guessed it a two dollar bottle of wine and it won the competition because because wine is BS in my in my opinion and apparently the blind taste test seems to agree with me but I have heard from some wine people that there's also examples of the other way so I don't know who knows Oh someone wants to know where to get my water bottle because it's huge Amazon it's actually not that big but it's one of the vacuum what you need to do is - tech tips on it in black in all black and then just sell them we totally should accept that by the time we marked these up even like enough to cover receiving them labeling them and then shipping them back out the door they'd be like $60 water bottles I don't remember how much this one was it's like it's like 25 bucks or something like that 25 or 30 because it's vacuum-sealed it's big it's got a nice wide mouth it's stainless yeah I actually I'm very satisfied with this water bottle would happily endorse ten out of ten imagine this type of like print in black like all around the ball pretty cool with like one little bit that just has like a safe zone around it oh we're working on some stuff have you seen the new the new concept for a new hoodie no but that's exciting yeah it's okay I don't matter like a lot more I want to get floatplane hoodies so okay it's not it's not like it's not like the land hoodie like it's not necessarily a tech hoodie that's fine but it's way more modern in terms of like the design what well who cares if it's not final oh wow okay so a why are you whining about this Nick I'm talking to Nick up there he can hear me because he's streaming and B why are you watching the wind show it work okay do we watch podcasts well we're supposed to be working Nick yeah that's what I thought all right so let's I will I will respect his wishes at least until such time as he has provided me with a very compelling reason why I why I should why I should listen to him D s d sr d sr tf-x geez man your name says then instead of calling it a package manager literally just call it the App Store or the Windows Store it's the same thing that's the point yeah but you can't do that yeah because like if you start calling your App Store the App Store Apple is gonna be down your throat and up your butt at the same time with their entire legal team but like you could call it something that would make sense and would be fine but they won't yeah and the other thing too is that it takes and it will probably hurt the Linux culture like people won't like it and it actually takes a lot of it takes a lot of branding it takes a lot of actual marketing to get people to to get comfortable with something like the number of times that people have to hear appstore to suddenly have that be like that's the friendly sounding version instead of you know application marketplace or whatever you're sure that you google chat market when Google changed to Play Store yeah what was it called Android Market before yeah and and the stupid thing about it the stupid thing about it is Here I am giving the tech community a hard time about not being accepting of friendlier ways of naming things and doing things but I had the exact same reaction when Google called it the Play Store I was like mad I was like okay what was wrong with the way they did it before I don't I don't play an app if it's not a game that was seriously I'm pretty almost word-for-word that was what I said okay to be fair I literally remember this because we were both really angry about it and I think at that point in time what we were angry about was that I think we thought it was like just for games basically because it was actually kind of confusing when it first came out right so it had but it had apps at the time yeah the things that they didn't have yet was the the deep collection of movie news and music and TV show content that now in hindsight almost makes it look like Google knew what they were doing with a branding thing but I'm afraid to I'm afraid to be too sure given that I'm afraid yeah because I don't know apps torrent oh geez so people are giving us suggestions the app store with a zero yeah I know right um the hack store no no the get app and go okay this is the problem with letting like when you let software engineers name things get stores that's that doesn't help with just have to put get store after store the apt store is not gonna make it better the pseudo store no yeah well it would be sued ooh okay actually okay you're more you're more in tune with the live community than me it's super user do what is it pseudo or pseudo do you pronounce it the way it said a lot of people say pseudo but but isn't that short for sudafed like isn't that a problem but it doesn't matter what the like a lot of people it is to do but how people say pseudo see that like I say pseudo but it's sudu okay so this is this is similar to the jiff argument I think a little bit less so because that's just completely BS and this one is like it actually makes sense I don't say I don't know I mean this this show right now has pretty good draft right now that's what I mean like you don't say it that way that's so dumb that makes no sense at all but it is actually super user do so that makes sense it's just kind of nicer to say pseudo we've got I mean I can't read that sag it's pronounced Heth sure we should just go with if it's got a silent G I mean we'll follow the same rules that like modern traffic Stuart that's what they should modern parents right because it's just like no my son's name is Steve and it's spelled its got like it's silent EJ in it or whatever and your psyche you know Steve already had a perfectly I'm sure I'm offending someone right now but as ladies like adults Steve already had a perfectly good spelling but everyone fully understood and was familiar with like you did not have to reinvent the wheel it's not one of those names like like - where no one knows how to spell it in spite of the fact that it is 100% perfect phonetically spelled that wrong I have literally had my name spelled in front of me while I'm watching I don't cry because I don't care l io n ESS I'm just like is that a thing that makes any sense what a lioness oh wait a night like a lion a lioness I didn't hear the I I thought it was Lana in their defense I like Lana I've had i NIS which could somewhat be justified I've had li na s line an okay yeah I Nass Wow but nice I forget where I was going geez I so some people I worry with my first name sometimes when I was younger and happy a lot more often doesn't have a very often now I bet you if I was in Quebec or something happen all the time oh you see yeah because your last name is French I might I might guess Lu if anyone spells it Luc it's not their fault even remotely a spike I would expect more people to do it that way because of my last name it just doesn't happen that often line ass tech tips like you got the dirty tech tips yeah all right oh yeah Tech should we do a topic I guess I mean we're kind of at the sponsors are we know what should we just go full c0 copyright Katie's here and you see do you like that you like that sponsor friendly monetization enabled way of doing that yeah you know what yeah let's just go full tease and and not do a topic yet so we've got a lot of sponsors for you guys today great sponsors the greatest sponsors yeah first up we got madrenas coffee okay these guys

topic all right we haven't done one yet no no let's do it let's do it - hop it oh wait no scrap your horizontal plane yeah um so if you're a fan of scrapyard wars you're gonna want to go over to flood plain comm sign up for a subscription it's gone it's got episode two already and then it's gonna get episode three on Saturday yep so that's gonna be good stuff you're gonna want to check that out have you been watching I actually neither my I know I'm halfway through the second episode so I've been traveling and the waifu and i like want to get the popcorn and watch it together so between between the craziness that has been going on in terms of like work stuff at floatplane lately because there's fun things happening and wedding this weekend it's been like oh yeah watch it don't you like the best man stuff I am and I have a giant sword it's awesome like actual though like it's made out of steel and stuff for what is it like a spoiler if you tell me her it's a little bit but I doubt anyone that's gonna I there's there's like okay so my parents already understand it and the only other person that I know of that's gonna be there that's going to watch this already knows the whole thing so best man is a bit of a truncation it used to be best swordsmen really and the idea was that the best swordsman wasn't it wasn't your best friend it was the best person in your circle of people at utilizing a sword and it was for very practical reasons because back then you used to more or less steal your wife or someone might object to you marrying that person because it might be in a form of trade I object and Schwing let's go and it would be your best man as your champion basically your best swordsman would be champion and creep Wow yeah and back in the day you know how there's the ceremony and then there's a reception there's there's actually quite a bit to it but you know how there's the ceremony and then the reception this is just kind of a funny part during the reception the bride and the groom would go off to consummate the marriage and they would come back and I know what everyone had would have dinner it's not really how that works anymore I mean you could probably pull it off like technically a lot of people go off to do a photo shoot that photo shoot could be very naked it could it could it definitely could yeah it's just not generally done it yeah yeah but at that time the best man doesn't hang out with the other people the best man goes with the bride and girth but not into the room he stands guard outside the door because to do that you're gonna know that's the whole thing is more there is like a Joe yes it would be but yeah you stand guard outside the door because until they've completed the the consummation the the marriage isn't final so someone might try to come and steal the bride before that happens so you have to stand outside the door and guard there's a lot there's a lot more to it if you want to go down a really weird path a very funny path of history you can look it up but I'm bringing a sword kind of as a joke it's not like a super serious thing yeah got it thank you for that that was both disturbing and enlightening I appreciate it all right so let's do a tech topic then CJ o9b wrap posted this on the forum the original article is from overclocked 3d dotnet but it looks like intel may have delayed whomp-whomp 10 nanometer ice lake what 2020 Wow dang I think it's 2024 server and I thought it was 2019 for consumer something along those lines here yeah we can have we can have a look at this here so someone of the chat said swords are heavy Luke yeah it's also if it's on the ground it goes up to here on me really it's it's an drill it's the reforged sword it's Aragon's blade from Lord of the Rings process heck yeah and it's like full steel tank throw the entire thing it's not like you could sharpen it and it would be very very real it's not sharp though okay it's freakin sweet anyways so we're not getting ice lake and okay whatever we're not getting anything until sometime in 2020 I guess is the point so Intel has already acknowledged dupes Intel has already acknowledged that they're going to lose some server market share to AMD and their epic architecture their epic processors based on their Zen architecture but this looking pretty pretty bad this gives AMD like a fall looks like over two years to steal market share from Intel and in the server space if AMD had a performance or a cost advantage or even a significant technological advantage for let's say six months or even 18 months Intel probably wouldn't care because what a lot of consumers don't realize is that the lead times on this kind of technology these kinds of products and the development process is very long so if Intel had a product that they were shipping let's say today right now mid 2018 that was serving the needs of their customers reasonably well and AMD launched some kind of disruptive technology today Intel is already working on like they wouldn't have a roadmap for these processors if they weren't doing work on them so they're already working on the tech that they're planning to launch in 2020 yeah now if AMD's compelling performance advantage got no IT departments or assisted Minh's or super computer architects got them looking at it and Intel could say hold on you know we're we're working on something by 2020 we'll be ready here we'll get you some stuff early so that you can make sure that you know you're not delaying your project too much and spec so you know how much you can build out all that other stuff by the CPUs at the last minute we'll have volume ramped up by that time something like 18 months for a project like that wouldn't be an unreasonable amount of time to ask someone to wait the problem is that AMD launched Xen what a year ago it's been a while it's been a while aim do you launch Xen I think it was about a year ago so now AMD is in a position where they have a compelling offering not just for a short period of time but for a long enough period of time that the managers or the procurement officers or whoever is working on sourcing slightly over a year for their server hardware has had a while to look at it see some smaller deployments go out in the field and start to build out a new large project around it and then now that intel is announcing remember worry you're into this that there are going to be delays well now they're starting to look you know unreliable whereas AMD has been hitting their targets now to be clear epics not perfect ah it does have some issues virtualization on AMD Zen architecture was a big problem especially right at the beginning but Intel has its issues too and those are the kinds of things that on a project-by-project basis depending on what you're doing with the systems might make you lean towards one or the other the big thing here is that AMD looks like a legitimate option and looks like they've gotten enough of a roadmap that you might want to start planning long term around them so that is really bad news because while Intel might be pretty happy to collect you know 320 9.99 us from consumers for our core i7 they would much rather take 30 to 9999 from businesses for large orders of many Zeon's shipped on pallets for you know large deployments that's that's better business so even though it's smaller in terms of per unit sales it is much larger in terms of the profitability because the difference in cost between consumer silicon and a commercial silicon is not as high as you might think interesting um in other news this is supposed to by sc2 Mitch on the forum and the original article here is actually from AMD themselves ban Intel news release AMD reports second quarter 2018 financial results revenue increased 53 percent year-over-year and gross margin expanded to 37 percent that means AMD is actually selling products profitably we we actually I don't know if we know how much of this was buoyed up by the the mining craze that has really slowed down significantly yeah so their net income for this reported quarter was 116 million dollars the prior quarter was 81 million dollars that's both of those are really really really great compared to where they're out a year ago which is really had a net loss of 42 million dollars so if you consider the fact that they were negative 42 before they're like 116 they're almost yeah they're almost at over 150 million more than they would have been you mean like it's it's actually quite quite impressive so dr. su released a statement we had an outstanding second quarter strong revenue growth margin expansion and our highest quarterly net income in seven years that's uh that's like CEO speak for we made something people wanted to buy oh yes we didn't have to slash pricing to buy great most importantly we believe our long term technology bets position us very well in the future we are confident that with the continued execution of our product roadmaps we're on an excellent trajectory to drive market share gains and profitable growth so if AMD manages to make their fabless strategy successful Intel I'm trying to think of who else will actually be left who does both chip intellectual property oh and actual manufacturing but you're just trying to lists and I was like you know versus focusing on fabs like a Global Foundries or a TSMC or focusing entirely on IP like someone like arm arm doesn't build their own processors but of course they are doing super duper well in the mobile age of low-power devices thanks to licensing they're their designs to other brands like Qualcomm for example to produce processors at an actual theft so Qualcomm doesn't actually fabricate anything either Nvidia doesn't fabricate anything you've got some of the world's most successful semiconductor companies that don't actually manufacture semiconductors yeah there's micron still making SSDs so micron is in a partnership with Intel and they do NAND flash but I don't believe micron would actually produce the CPUs so that's sort of different I would say DRAM and NAND flash manufacturing are kind of separate from IC manufacturing yeah just cuz and and I'm just basing that on that I don't think there's anyone other than Intel that actually does both no Samsung Samsung as well so Intel and Samsung are in both games but as far as I know they're the only ones that are left in both crazy it's actually quite different compared to like ten years ago Nvidia is next gen car details so this was posted by Atlas Wraith on the forum and rumor it is of course WCC F Tech so yes it's a rumor but they are saying is an exclusive rumor they've got one of the Star Wars Edition cards that looks like is that they yeah yeah one of the Star Wars Edition cars they're just using that as a placeholder that is not probably what the card will look like is that why you're questioning oh I just know I was looking at I was looking at this here and I couldn't remember if that was what it looked like but then I saw the is that kind of looks like Rebel Alliance but technically it's the whatever the Jedi Order or something that was so stupid that whole thing galactic empire and then Jedi Order even though they never I did like a whole I did like a whole thing I pulled people into the board room and I got like a slide up and I was I was yelling about it it was it was kind of a bit for a video but it was something that they the inspiration for it came from so I get up and I'm like okay so here's the timeline alright here's where the Jedi Order exists here's where the Galactic Empire exists and we've got about a sliver of overlap or you could arguably say that they both existed but they're never in direct conflict with each other none of this makes any sense why are these the new teams who even knows what the Jedi Order is from a mainstream standpoint who knows what this is so that's all I kind of go off about it and the inspiration was that I was I was working on the script with someone about something okay and I went off into a tangent about this and they're like this is hilarious we should just work this into oh you know so a month ago the writer here Guzman prasada and there's another co-writer co-writer Hassan muj mujtaba I did my best I talked about how AI B's would be seated within videos next-generation graphics cards probably based on the touring architecture sometime in late August ba ba ba ba bla blah blah blah let's not try and read the article let's look at our notes provided by James instead one random sorry Star Wars thing they're relaunching the Clone Wars animated series I'm talking about it last week and I said on the show I was like Luke's gonna be so disappointed that he's not here and so disappointed that they're just like wrapping it up as a fanservice thing yep not only are they just wrapping it up but I am both excited and scared as freakin heck because I have not enjoyed the new Star Wars stuff under Disney so like oh geez and that none of that was Disney they asked Clone Wars immediately when they bought it they axe it partway through a season like you can actually find you can you can get the Lost episodes I'm not gonna talk about this for too long it's where you get the lost episodes which is like a few of the completed ones from that season and then you could also find the art and some of the scripts for the episodes that they like didn't really properly do it all you find like uh Nana mated scenes and stuff I'm like if I was the the Clone Wars team and Disney came to me and was like yeah so we want to like close it out but like here's how we're doing it what are the odds that assuming that you have found work elsewhere because it's been a while now well you know so assuming you found work elsewhere what are the odds that you just drop what you're doing and you come back yes Disney I will come in and I will I will do it your way like I got a I gotta imagine that it's gonna be a slightly different team working on this okay so I don't know this this is an assumption that I'm based I have no source for I'm extremely unsure this is beyond rumor but I think the cone wars team moved on to rebels okay and then reveled the reason why rebels feel so different it's because rebels has a lower target audience not because it's necessarily a different team but I could be completely wrong about that so aggressively don't quote me on that but I think they might have at least the core people still around alright so here's what's going on with Nvidia is new line up wow this could actually be very bad news so they are apparently they haven't decided on the naming which might not seem like it matters that much because ultimately who cares is about FPS but as a general rule it's not a terrible idea when you create a product to have the name kind of make sense um um I'm with a graphics card really the main thing that we expect a name to tell us is where does its performance fall in relation to other cards so apparently they are actively considering suffixes like xxx 5 for example GTX 1175 yeah or GTX 2070 or 2075 now that alone doesn't sound like that big of a deal unless the kinds of suffixes they're considering are like 10 something 5 where it's possible that we might get GPUs that don't actually perform that dramatically different from this gen now I don't think like they've done that sort of thing before like the 275 launched way after the 260 in the 280 yeah but that was similar architectural II I don't see them launching a new architecture without giving it a clear new series but if they used numbers that kind of seemed like they'd positioned them between older cards I don't know if it would I don't know if it would surprise me that much either because you got to remember if Nvidia holds true to the pattern that has been true since the GTX 680 we are not getting big tearing at the initial launch we are getting mid-sized tearing so a GTX 10 atti is a very different card from a 1080 they there they are they're more different than a 1080 and a 1070 are that's the way it works now 1080 Ti is a big chip and 1080 and 1070 are both stepped down mid sized chips so we are getting the new generation mid chip which I don't know may or may not actually perform any better than last gen big chip we're gonna actually make a compensator I don't know if we get a new big chip so we kind of skipped three sort of Italy sort of hang so there wasn't a usually there's like a very opportune moment well before we SLI anymore yeah that doesn't help yeah well like it isn't there for specifically benchmarking reasons no he hate it when people do that though maybe but it's really done stupid Stalin was cool apparently will initially have three power brackets 120 150 180 wat what's interesting about that is NVIDIA has over the last several years anyway gone with a staggered rollout for their new lineup oh that piece was a little spicier well I'm time run time the sweet sriracha yeah that piece was a little bit on the spicier side it's good though actually so they've gone with a very staggered rollout so they've gone like okay here's the high end let me like wait a couple months okay here's the next one wait a couple minutes here's the next one that allows them to kind of stretch out their PR coverage yeah keeps people from kind of getting bored of like this wave of GPS gives us more stuff to target and nothing for two years you know but what this sounds like is that at one hundred and twenty hundred and fifty hundred eighty watt they might be doing a broader refresh and the reason for doing that might be that AMD is actually relatively competitive at the hundred and twenty watt TDP range so they might want to just go you know what let's just go blob and make life very very difficult for our one competitor in the space all in one go very interesting it is rumored that 1080 TI MSRP will drop by a hundred dollars and 1080 MSR people drop by fifty bucks this is also a solid indication that the upcoming 1180 and 1170 I'm just using those as placeholders don't really perform that amazingly differently than the ones that they are replacing yeah we'll see but potential price drops on 1080i in 1080 that's never a bad thing happens every time and is never anything we actually filmed our MacBook Pro 2018 video today so there's gonna be more detail about this and that but it looks like the throttling for the MacBook Pro has been fixed in Mac OS so it came as an update to High Sierra 10 13.6 and they have issued an apology to consumers who experienced less than optimal performance on their new 2018 machines now they said that this was a firmware patch I'm missing the usual key issued with this update but Anthony's testing shows no performance change in Windows after downloading and installing this so it seems like it didn't actually make any changes to firmware and we'll talk a little bit more detail about that in our Matco video Oh Facebook Facebook stock crashed harder than any stock has ever crashed before this is supposed to by sc2 Mitch on the forum they were apparently sued today over a disappointing earnings announcement okay I didn't know about that Wow but it resulted in the loss of a hundred and twenty billion dollars of shareholder wealth making it the biggest one-day loss in US market history apparently Zuckerberg went down like two spots on the world's richest list or something really yeah um you heard of okay this is I do not recommend going there I would never recommend going there and it takes a bit of willingness to read terrible horrible things to be able to go there but there is a subreddit called Wall Street bets and it's it's based around like all all stock investments is essentially betting right but this is based around like hardcore betting and their idea isn't like I'm gonna invest so I can have a good good life leading forward their ideas like I'm gonna Yolo so that hopefully I either get a yacht or nothing and like some dude is 20 and made like five hundred thousand dollars off shorting Facebook and he posted about it there there's also a dude who had a 50 I think there's a fifty five thousand dollar portfolio and then went down to 1.2 grand because of this it's a really interesting read right now just fair warning it gets pretty brutal in in the comments and stuff so just if you have a weak stomach for people being being vicious don't go there but it's really interesting seeing people who bet super hard on stocks and then something like this happens and just seeing what happens people losing their entire savings people being completely set up for the entire rest of their life just like it's every single threat is like it's like a livestream of the high roller you know roulette table yeah pretty much it's crazy it's a very crazy yeah here's a rumor this was posted by aluminium Tech on the forum and the original source is nine to five ghoul fortnight is coming to Android but it is rumored that it will be a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 exclusive at first they must have paid so much for that so apparently it's going to be so the note 9 which is set to be announced on the 9th of August with pre-orders on August 14th and public availability on August 24th looks like it's gonna have fortnight exclusively for a month and there was a thread about this on the forum where people were like oh what are they you know more they stupid they think people are gonna buy a phone just over a game yeah oh yeah it's like people are criticizing Samsung ok you can criticize Samsung all you want but they're saying that Samsung is stupid for doing this no depending how much they paid which I don't know depending how much they paid this might be actually brilliant it's not inherently stupid it could be stupid it could be stupid yeah like if they paid way too much money maybe it's stupid but remember this is a company that buys Super Bowl ads so you know if they paid a hundred million dollars this is a far better promotion than a Super Bowl ad if you want my honest opinion and one you were just talking about like it might actually influence their decisions think about if you're on a contract how subsidize your phone is it's just a bit of money right so it's it's probably like $150 decision but they're all gonna be about a hundred fifty bucks or zero dollars you pick this phone you get you get fortnight and you get the decision between wireless AKG headphones which yes sweet yeah you should probably go with that unless you're a crazy for a night fan the other option is a hundred to a hundred dollars worth of v bucks in one hundred two hundred and fifty yeah and you the thing the other thing you gotta remember is that fortnight has an enormous fan base so you you've got friends that work at like mobile gaming companies radios what do you remember talk I know you've talked to them about it but do you remember what they said was the percentage of the users that are your whales oh I don't remember the exact number but it is very very small so I got like less than 1% so then you've got hundreds of millions of users though and you've got these whales that might spend hundreds of dollars a month on the game to imagine that they might run out and buy a phone so that they can play the game that month no quick remember they get a phone yeah I mean usually when they spend a couple hundred bucks on this game they don't even get a phone hey yo I got a phone cool like that is a no-brainer for the kind of people that are spending lots and lots of money on digital content for games like fortnight so oh yeah they're gonna sell some phones don't kid yourself okay last topic for today Apple will fix devices damaged by Japanese floods for free Apple is buying themselves some free positive publicity and hey that's a good thing one quick thing I'm going to step in here with you just mentioned the like tiny percentage of your users are the whales there's a really amazing story Kevin Lee Co a 45 year old man from Rocklin California pled guilty to charges of wire fraud and money laundering having been caught stealing 4.8 million dollars from his employer between 2008 and 2015 1 million dollars of which he spent on game of war the mobile game one thing that blows my mind about this is imagine literally how many times he would have had to click to buy something to spend a million dollars like it literally would have been tiresome to like spend that much money on in-game currency I'm surprised he didn't manage to lose his job given how much time he was clearly spending playing game of war yeah I mean okay no I'm sorry I mean I'm sure he lost his job ignoring the money laundering oh yeah it's like what was this guy even getting done all day it's really nothing yeah a million dollars on game of war oh my goodness so crazy all right so this was posted by red round 2 on the forum and Apple has announced that it will repair any iPhones Mac's iPods or iPads maybe iPod owners are getting some love that's nice that were directly damaged by the devastating heavy floods that swept through Japan this month that's cool the flooding has caused hundreds of deaths and the support goes against Apple's standard repair policies which strictly exclude water damage so almost all of Apple's main product lines are eligible but accessories are not included and proof of ownership may be required that's fantastic way to go Apple that's very cool this probably gonna cost them a lot of money yeah I'd love to hear that though speaking of things I love to hear I'd love to hear that that's it for this week I'm gonna go home enjoy my weekend we gotta play some badminton yeah yeah not this weekend but yeah very soon yep I'm also I need to fix my back first and my arm what you do with your back in your arm what are you not broken my knees are basically fixed no that's not my point it was great my knees are almost fake so my lower back I think it's my chair I've ordered a new chair okay the we're still using that horrible like I don't like spending but you told me we're gonna order a new chair it has been ordered literally chair literally before floatplane was founded yeah before that project was even started so it probably was like mid 2016 yeah yeah little bit yeah I ordered it now though it's showing up on August 6 I'm excited what'd you get its I don't want to talk about it is it expensive it's very expensive Herman Miller yes oh I talked to a whole bunch of ergonomic experts I talked to because my like oh there's a history of back problems in my family too so I want to like solve it and that's part of the reason why it took me two and a half years to order it it's because I've kind of known the one that I should order for a long time it's not that it's not the main one it's nothing one stupefy but this is the chair you'll use for the rest of your life right it has like a 25 year warranty or something okay like it's supposed to I mean I'm a firm believer in buying one nice thing once yeah so the number of times that I have not upgraded my wireless router since I spent $1,000 on a ruckus access point has probably gotten me about a third of the way there so far yeah and I plan to continue to use that ruckus access point for many years because even though there are new wireless standards coming that will be faster the devices that I'll be able to afford will if I were to buy something enterprise tier will be consumer grade and they're gonna have other issues and quite frankly I get to on my blade stealth I was transferring files to mine as at 46 megabytes a second yeah on my access point at home two nights ago that is good enough for me on Wi-Fi if I mean faster than that I will plug into a network connection and I will get 10 gig because you know Yolo or whatever so I'm a firm believer if you're gonna use something for long enough that you would have replaced it multiple times with commodity garbage in the time that you'd use it then I consider that a solid investment because you also have to pay yourself for the time that it takes to go and buy a new chair several times assemble it go shop for it figure out that you're missing a stupid bracket go back to the store and go to the bracket wall and find the right stupid bracket then take it home like there's there's overhead associated with think there's dealing with buying stuff even a the biggest one out or even say is shopping downtime oh yeah downtime is if your router goes down especially for someone like you yeah like you just did the you did the angry job movement and the I roll like that's it it's a problem it could be very very impactful like I might not be able to get work done or I might be live-streaming at my house or something back in those days anyway if my router went down I would live here until I got a new one which would be the next morning because I would need one immediately like it's so that's it for winch oh thank you guys for tuning in we will see you again next week we are actually going to be discussing moving where and show to you two whoa yeah maybe we should talk about it on the land show next week well maybe do some pros and cons will talk to the twitch audience but see what they think what about weird so like against everyone's policy I think so Oh kind of it depends it depends all right all right you guys bye
