Cloverdale maybe drawer I'm not sad no offense no offense to anyone from Cloverdale who may be watching because you probably didn't understand what we said anyway you've a really great like horse accessory and saddle store it's wonderful anyways there's tons of Vega news like like every single other wine show from 2017 so that's not too far all the Vega leaks like like if there was if there was a crossfire leak it would be like vagabond I think put them together oh my goodness I think if Vega was a ship it just wouldn't have a bottom anymore because it sank notice the leak there's so many leak oh no only I'm allowed to make jokes that bad sorry no you don't have you don't have a terrible terrible joke privilege that that I assume oh that I am joy I'm trying to graduate I'm working around oh there's so much a graduation as a sort of a debating you know what we've got rumors about price we've got rumors about performance we've got tons of stuff so stay tuned for that memories about what it looks like we also have the intel core x series full specs have apparently been leaked leaks all over plays it even leaks anymore who knows what's a core X I don't even know flash is going to die in 2021 right all the other times that it's been stated flashes going to die this time it's actually going to die it's like actually super super actually dying this time so that's pretty sick yeah Oh course they're course they're got got got yo it got got by investors it was bought yeah also our a former employer NCIX closed its retail stores in Ontario for good for good I don't know if that's good so much as it's bad it it's bad intro time index no intro yet we need shirts yeah I want a shirt that just says no but I can get a shirt that just says yes yeah oh yeah we can throw in like shirt no oh yeah naked yes that's business tattoo that you get under it the tattoo make it yes my wife would kill me hahaha every few times she would she would like she would actually be feared like she's not really a like getting mad kind of person she's more of a like disappointed and frustrated person not like a mad like yelling person but that would actually be a thing I could do that would be like full-on like trigger on I could see that fake tattoo yes all fake tattoo in the promotional materials he could have a fake tattoo she doesn't watch YouTube so like a rather Rancho we YouTube I'm sorry I am like heis yeah yeah so like fake tattoo you get like I'd be she doesn't watch this should be a channel super hood break yeah because you could say that it was like a promotional thing for the shirt and you don't really care cause you're just gonna wear shirts anyways yeah oh I like it I like it that would be awesome so it's floatplane yes thank you very much so the only problem is that we wouldn't be able to do it on Twitch unless I got some some tape actually ah Alice do you have some electrical tape that I could borrow it seems like the kind of thing you would have on hand I think it would look really fake no no no hold on God the black one the up and right down and right yeah that one perfect tape me thank you alright so no wait no oh you're going to tape them over so so basically I figure oh wow with do I can't believe you're doing that oh my gabion okay okay so so I could pull off the shirt and then I could have like the bed there that was a no nipple shirtless right so be like haha shirt no and then like we've naked yes and that yeah I honestly yeah no nipple yes yeah what if we show even about anymore it's what you have to know nobody knows this whole straw does not show we used to do straw polls now we've evolved into just like it is our language now we speak straw poll alright so we do actually have a lot of tech news for you guys this week we're going to start with a sponsor spot and there's reason for that note there's a valid reason for that because FreshBooks is the sponsor not only of the land show but also of LTX which is going to be the happiest thing in clover - he'll be City oh it's not gonna be in Cordova yeah but it would it'll still be the heaviness and card health even though it's not Oh oh dang it will be the coolest thing to do income so we've got some details about LTX LTX event details I think there's like a post on the forum from that what is Ivan yes Ivan will be there Ivan yes indeed so there it is LTX carnival flash meetup apparently the floorplan and stuff is not actually posted here no no I know I don't know floor plans not posted here for some reason that somewhere over on ticket rocket no not Twitter I think Twitter seriously we actually don't have gosh darn it you just want everything in one place then you're like damn I'm in clover there's literally nothing here oh yeah there's the shirt design so for people who got the big package they're getting one of these shirts I think in a special color something like that here we go here we go here we go so here's the floor map that we've got finalized ish now this is the case toss so you throw cases as far as you can this is great have a seat yeah have a seat Corsair is going to be here free gigs going to be here scrapyard Wars so we're going to have unedited okay continuous scrapyard war footage during the show okay silent auction here so there's going to be relics of line of tech tips which will have to beat me to get the ball Mike head oh you know what I think they didn't do it okay yeah they must not have added a but the fire PC still there too they've got it they've got a ton of good stuff they've got a kind of good stuff Lambo booth so you can you can see more on the legendary Lambo but I think that actually moved outside but it'll be there somewhere okay though TAC VR so Luke's going to be there Taron editing so showing you guys how he edits a line of tech tips video Jos ting is here 16 K gaming will be here so you will get to actually experience it people people are voting sno for the different boot brilliant ASIS you get to play csgo against dead yeah hamster ball geoguessr against John is here the bungee run razor is going to be right about here I fix it's here bs mods is going to be doing like modding demonstrations and tutorials those guys are freaking awesome sumo cash grab and ball pit and there's going to be so much swag yeah like actually an insane amount like actually every single person who attends should walk away with multiple pieces of swag and I'm not talking like everybody's going to get a graphics card but there will be graphics card giveaways which lots of thing I think that's super cool because I'm kind of I'm kind of into the whole swag thing and packs all these really big conventions it's been kind of going down a little bit because some of the biggest proponents of swag was always the hardware the hardware guys love the swag it's freaking awesome they love the swag so so anyway back to fresh books fresh books sponsored the LTX and fresh books is the way to

all the mega news ah sure okay there's a lot a lot a lot of it's like not quite a repeat but borderline all right young Kang young Kang posted this on the form the original articles from video cards dot-com this is apparently according to the video cards leaked what the Vegas 64 reference design will look like something like that according to the leak I can neither confirm nor deny that looks like three DisplayPort ports and an HDMI so DVI is gone ZZZ that's not surprised no more DVI no more VGA both of those are probably fine I don't like not having VGA to be perfect not having VG is all annoying but like when was the last time you even had it DVI um so Nvidia did away with it I think on Pascal yeah yeah so MD has followed suit that looks like two 8-pin connectors which is interesting that goes and then this is apparently a Vegas 64 limited edition limited edition yeah okay and then they're saying there will be a liquid Edition and there are no pictures yet of that Oh interesting okay so there's a there's the leaks you can take those for what they are if the card looks like the top one though I actually you know what I'm not going to lie I like the look of this design better than I like the look of the limited edition design really yeah so this looks like a brushed kind of thing because brushed depending on whether it's like metal or plastic can actually end up looking kind of cheap yeah you know yeah that's fair III think if you have the right build and it's a limited edition so that might make sense the right build accenting that could look really cool if you have the right case you have the right other components all I kind of sight but then I feel like the non Limited Edition and this makes sense would go much better with a more standard build yeah like I would need to build around this yeah almost nothing is like maybe developer you'd have to do some custom stuff yeah but you could make like a sick looking computer like they're probably going to make like a showcase PC that's built around that la position card and it's going to look awesome probably okay apparently Vega fire strike scorers have appeared so this was posted by delicious on the forum and the original article here is again from video cards calm and they are claiming that these are three separate rx Vega scores here the memory clocks are all the same but the GPU clocks apparently ranged from 1536 to 1630 although I would take that with a grain of salt because I'm not sure exactly how they are measuring the GPU clock whether it's like an average of what's running during the actual benchmark because GPU clocks are all over the place spending on power delivery and cooling these days so we'll have to see that that's my thing with all these rumours is especially with the performance ones I don't really care until we actually get it ourselves or until other reviews actually start coming out yep because like I who knows and this is interesting so this original article this was posted by banana-split underscore zero zero on the forum and the original article here oh sweet a parent Lee rx Vega and this is in meatball so I can't read it I'm sorry I could hell of you guys I love you guys okay you could like google trey it's literally giving you the option right there nope not out on the street okay yeah not on the stream there you go um so up wow this Google Translate has gotten really goes pretty deep it starts to collapse into AMD Vega and now circulates the first prize information behind the scenes okay so pretty okay so it's pretty good very good very close yeah um the meatball yes oh my goodness okay good distributors in Europe apparently have received pricing for RX Vega in the 600 to 700 euro range which which would be 705 to 820 US dollars yeah now it should be noted that this has to be taken with a grain of salt because vendors often give out sort of random pricing like back when I used to work at NCIX this would happen all the time where we were just like gasps yeah and we would create a skew because we couldn't cut a Pio to the vendor unless we had a skew and then there were time we'll know that I mean that makes sense because when it arrives how would the labeling staff like know what label to put on it and stuff okay why would you have to put a prep can you just put a placeholder that isn't anything um if our system was that sophisticated we could have done that yes that doesn't sound superstitious yeah can you just all right let's move on okay um so anyway it is it is fairly common for retailers to just kind of put a price in but the other right the other reason to not do that might be to hide the final pricing so there had been times when we would create a SKU and we were put it in for like ninety nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine dollars with zero yeah no because then people would order it and there were oh so it's a purchasable SKU I don't know doesn't why don't you just have two and release so there were several statuses okay so we could never hide status prisoner yeah where you could manually navigate to the page and hide status was useful for validating that like landing pages were working in stuff so you could click jokes for everything's actually working and there was a discontinued status where you could load the page but I think pricing was just gone and there was no buy now there's like there's all these different statuses that you can have and sometimes they would be broken also NCIX the system was imperfect to the point at least then ivan shut up to the point where at least back then there were at least a handful of customers who if they found out the SKU number and you could sort of guess because you could find new arrivals by looking at new arrivals and then you could find gaps in the SKU coverings and you could manually keep them in and so people found ways to manually force the sister add those in a cart so those aren't hidden pages at all so yeah in that case they couldn't even navigate to the page but they could force a dispute to the cart and buy it oh my goodness that's yeah so it's not hidden at all so well it depends on what statuses be anyway the long story long story short there are ways for these things to happen and there are very savvy customers out there yeah who are trying really hard to be like the one to leak pricing so so there would be times when we would just fill in BS information I don't know if you still have this up is it this page yeah okay random little side bit we almost made a video here Media Markt I don't think we actually released that video but Media Markt is very cool oh yeah a very cool store like you can go in there and they have like an entire row and in inside the row like to your left will just be like shelves and shelves of keyboards with like a box behind it that's probably empty but I like strapped down so you can see what it is exactly what model exactly what key switch all that kind of stuff and then the keyboard right there and like keep others so you can like look under it see what the switches Wow and it type on the keyboard and try it out on the other side mice down the row a little bit headphones and like actually a huge amount of each type of category and like brandon was there with me and they had a whole bunch of cameras all set up that you could like actually use with like lighting stuff there so I actually try it like it's a really cool store Swedish shot Swedish consumers must be a lot more trustworthy than North American ones Media Markt I think is a German company oh they're in like multiples oh okay okay like we saw them in Switzerland right okay yeah cool but they're in they're in a number of well I went there yeah yeah I went to one because I was at the BMW shoot and we needed a GoPro yeah they're pretty cool yeah there were some things like they only had like four monitor or something and I was like that's kind of weird when you have like actually an insane amount of everything else but like right there's a cool store and the monitor they did have they had displayed with things playing on them I guess that's pretty cool all right yet another Vega leak this was posted by good to not eat tofu Friday the original article here is from reddit and apparently a look at the Eurasian Economic commission's fight confirms vega ken vega 11 vega 12 and vega 20 whatever that means i could just be code names even yeah i actually don't know how meaningful this is it's a little bit of a stretch maybe okay so this is in okay some kind of is just uh hey Ivan no never mind looks like kind of like Russian or like there's quite a few countries there's a core like what alphabet is this even Cyrillic yeah Cyrillic thank you okay wow there's like actually a lot of information in here so this is like vague at NXT MBA DT OEM which I would have to assume is desktop om Dell with extender and then like a part number and then there's like all he server to 25-watt OST AI oh maybe oh maybe AMD FirePro Vega 12 xt workstation FC st here's a part number wow this actually looks like fairly legit incredible huh okay that well that's neat I guess all right apparently 45 Vega products were registered by AMD under the Vega product line on the economic Commission's website that's pretty intense but they had like AI cards and stuff so I don't know how specific they're getting there it could be some like non consumer level thing looks pretty damn specific to me they've got a Dell with extender right yeah then probably like Dell with no extender yeah so so I did might not be actually much changing in between by the way I saw someone fly through the chat they had said that they just landed in Canada for LTX no that's cool we will see you tomorrow you're awesome we will so see you tomorrow it is going to be great again I'm at I'm actually super excited for LG X okay like more excited for any other convention that I'm going to this year not even just saying Jeremy dimensioned crowd size on the stage crowd size on the stage why because I don't think I'm getting this reference the fake news I feel like oh there's 10,000 people here 10,000 I can't believe 50,000 people showed up I mean going off of each other the last time a hundred thousand people were in the Langley Event Center there was 250,000 people there the last time there was I didn't even know there were a million people in Cloverdale the fact that we can reject the fact that they can fit two million people in the arena is just a feat of engineering yep I'm called up and we're like yeah we made the best arena can fit five that's the greatest arena okay Intel Core x-series I actually have no idea what this is I have not heard of any leak about this oh okay oh okay so video cards comm is the opie here it's kind of funny you can tell where James decided to get his news from each week yeah yeah yeah he was he was hanging out on the video well mind you all the news is about video cards if it is right in the names isn't a video card that's true fake news okay all right so it's the full specs now of the intel's high-end desktop platform so there's ones that we knew already 78 640 x 7740 you're into that sort of thing 7900 XR review already went up that's the 10 core 20 thread 3.3 base 4.5 boost max 44 Lane quad channel memory blabbity blabbity blah and then now we finally got clock speeds for the high-end stuff so apparently that 18 core will run it 2.6 gigahertz base and will actually boost up almost as high as the 7900 X which is only a 10 core which is pretty incredible if they can get it to run in a motherboard without lighting on fire ah the step-down the 16 core so pricing here that'll be 2 grand and then replacing the 69 50 X will be a 16 core I then my 10 core that we just upgraded relations with gets it I actually but you know what's cool I always thought about my processor so so what's cool about this is I'm salty about a new product for the first time it okay okay okay okay I hear ya a little bit because normally it would be like you just trying to dangle purchasing decisions and you're like you had the last one that came out was really good so maybe I'll get that but that's not really what happened yeah well nothing's really happened so I guess it doesn't matter and then out of nowhere things come out so you kind of got blindsided instead of like whoa everything's fun and cool I mean my keys sure it was like he's probably not asking for the electric thing okay alright genj jigsaws wait like a robot a heat gun a jig follow the blade in the crowbar ballista crowbar yeah sorry I actually need some of the other stuff on my keychain so do my what do I have a vehicle no I can drive home or wherever he needs to go okay you want to show it yeah oh yeah we're life alright yeah bye Nick thank you and thank you Nick okay so full specs are in and basically the I can see why they launched with the 7900 X because it does look like a pretty good middle ground although I can see to how the 79 20x for two hundred more for two more cores actually looks not bad as well although all of this really depends on what AMD does with thread Ripper and they've got a second chart here where they are actually trying to compare AMD versus until I think yeah so here's haven't beat that PCIe lanes I know 64 PCI Express Lanes what no actual trashman yeah like what the heck so we don't know thread rippers XFR frequencies but at 99 bucks that 16 thread is looking pretty our 16 core 32 thread is looking pretty frigging competitive with a 10 core with fewer PCIe lanes and maybe a higher boost frequency but we don't even know TDP TBD though as well lots of those going on but like even just the price difference there is ridiculous like if you want to get up higher on other things there's always over talking I can't imagine based on what we know about Zen versus skylake architecture core by core performance frequency by frequency performance I can't imagine that 16 for doing anything but utterly kerb wrecking that 10 core yeah in a multi-threaded workload and quite frankly if you're not talking about these threaded workloads I don't understand why you're talking about skylake X or thread refer in the first place yes that's a very important distinction yes and like some people need both use cases mm-hmm but usually if you need both these cases it's not like an extreme peak on the single pour that you core that you need yeah and you probably want to push your multi-threaded that's right it's like the vast majority of people all right speaking of the vast majority of people the vast majority of the all 6,000 of you um need to why is my Start menu auto hiding I am super mad about that need you need to ah moved it I was wondering what happened to it I moved it up he moved it back down Oh what is it this Oh dip it and I was like oh is it company okay I'm sorry I'm just just waiting over here need to look at there yes yes stalling yes stalling I need to listen to us talk about spectra staring at a monitor all day there's actually not a secret that that can be not the greatest thing for your eyes you've got to be kidding me we're at it James took them dang it James okay so James personally vouches perspective glasses an affordable solution to staring at a computer screen all day some monitors do have blue light filters but many many don't including many that come pre attached to a computer like your laptop so the a software solution like flux or twilight doesn't give you the same type of filtering that an actual colored glass does so the features include being stylish they've worked on their glasses making them look like something anyone could wear around the office quality so they got a one-year warranty and Lowe color Distortion thanks James I actually have to take this so this is like super important so you might have to jump in and do the other one so they're primarily focused on Canada and us you can check about a spectrum glasses comm slash collection slash products or at the link below and use offer code blindness to save 10% they are coming to Europe very soon and I really do have to take this and so the next one is square space square space square space we've been advertising square space for freaking ever and you guys probably know they are a web hosting platform with beautiful templates for pretty much whatever you need they have 24/7 live chat and email support if you have any issues at all and that's helpful for if you're setting up a Squarespace site for someone else - like a friend or family member that runs a business considering Squarespace has commerce modules so you can set it up for them and then if they have any trouble later on down the line 24/7 live chat and email support it cost 12 bucks a month and if you buy it for a year you get a domain covered for free they have a cover page module so you can have like a one-page site that's all beautiful and scrollable and all that kind of stuff also everyone can now publish in the Apple news format if you want to have some type of like blog that would be very helpful there you start a trial with no credit card required and start building your website today go to Squarespace squarespace.com slash when and you get 10% off then we have fresh books we talked about them earlier in the show they are sponsoring LTX which is awesome so everyone that's at LTX will be able to benefit from their sponsorship for lpx if you go to fresh books comm slash one and it's your when and the how to do here but a section you get a free trial which is pretty fantastic fresh books has timesheet functionality expand functionality tons of different things that you would need as a company that has Pella Walker directly in front of the camera so that you could expense Pella for the like 0.3 seconds that he was in front of the lens or as Pella you could expense lioness media group for the 0.3 seconds that you spent on camera because they might have to license your personality and features in like your face and other details like that so yeah no no no phone tree no escalations if you have any issues with fresh books you can call them and talk to a real person right away which is pretty fantastic and then that's it all the sponsor spots are done hooray I have no idea when Linus is going to be back so I think I'm just going to jump into the next article I think I know what that phone calls about and people at LTX will benefit a lot from that phone call happening let me get to the next article USB 3.2 was announced this is going to be a little bit of a juggle to try to get this on the screen but it is freaking fast 2 gigabytes per second is what the USB 3.2 spec is stating right now it is a multi-lane solution compared to the current USB which is single-lane only an existing USB type-c cables have been designed with multi-lane support so would be able to work I believe you have to have USB 3.2 hosts and devices yeah allowing for up to two lanes of five gigabit per second or two lanes of 10 gigabit per second operation it's pretty awesome let me get the article up on screen and post it in the chat give me one second I have to use my laptop and Linus's laptop right now to get this done copy that apparently I did that whole thing with my face hidden behind the camera sorry about that I'm back we're here we're doing this I'm going to jump back to the article a USB three-point to host connected to a USB 3 point two storage device so probably the main things are going to see with this early on are going to be like mass drives or just external single enclosure hard drive stuff like that will now be capable of realizing over 2 gigabytes per second of data transfer performance over an existing USB type-c cable which is super cool because I like invested and bought a few different like multi packs of USBC cable so I have a lot of those already and would really rather not buying new ones so thank you for allowing that to happen and but the cable does need to be certified for super speed USB 10 gigabit per second which it probably is so you're probably fine but I don't know I would make sure that this bit of news is hilarious but I'm going to try to get it posted in the twitch chat before I actually really start talking about it but internet-connected carwashes it's hilarious and terrifying at the same time I guess but that's that's the world we live in right now that was the wrong link sorry about that in one second copy I'm back baby hey all right yeah put it up we're no longer time with this we're talking about I'm gonna talk about USB 3.2 ya know get rekt I don't care hey it's pretty cool man yeah yeah yeah I mean all of my thumb drives need to go twice as fast some external hard drives what about them burnable whatever man yeah whatever there will be more with USB yes this is there will be more there will be cheaper ones idle speed here's another question there's more devices that have usb on it instead of thunder when was one gigabyte per second a bottleneck it's I've wanted more for a while since when are you like I don't need any more of that performance what the hell is this alright this is BS things are happening anyways the article that we will be talking about now is that car wash that it's internet-connected can be hacked it can strike your vehicle trap passengers dose them with water hit them with doors Wow all this kind of stuff we believe this to be the first exploit of a connected device that causes the device to physically attack someone researchers presenting the proof-of-concept say maybe a little bit of a stretch I think it would be how you define an attack yeah people that could like take over a car and shut off its engine while it's on a highway I would see that as a way a form of attack I mean if a house was on fire people being able to hack your smart lock to stay dead bolted a deadbolt even until the same set those nuclear facilities that they were trying to overload that's definitely an attack that's super an attack yeah I don't necessarily know what they mean by that but I see what they're kind of saying like being able to beat someone with it it's a little bit different I guess yeah so they could an attacker can send an instantaneous command to close one or both doors to trap the vehicle inside or open and close one door repeatedly to strike the vehicle a number of times as a driver tries to flee or even even you don't even necessarily know what's happening you're doing the like drying sequences you drive your car at yeah and also it's just like pat pat pat pat pat and just super wrecks your car the system's run on Windows Cee and have a built-in web server that lets technicians configure and monitor them over the Internet so the researchers became interested in car washes after hearing about an accident that occurred years ago where technicians misconfigured one in a way that caused the mechanical arm to strike a minivan and douse the family inside with water Wow yeah pre brutal and if you are able to use those giant mechanical arms that are in car washes they're huge to smash someone's car if you could crack it open you can keep them in there and just like flood them with water right do super bad and then if they leave their car you just beat them with the giant arm thing it's actually pretty sketch don't interconnect to your car wash I literally see no reason for doing that actually at all in terms of having like control over what the arms and stuff do that should probably be pre coded you could maybe in Internet connect like how much water is being used like being able to observe how much water is being used not to control how much water is being used yeah I mean it's a fine line cuz like I can understand I can understand why they would want to be able to reprogram it remotely why okay let's say um the detergent that they used to use was discontinued by the manufacturer due to environmental regulation changes they have to switch to a new detergent so they have to completely retune all the different stages and the arm spinning power and there you go there's a reason I said want to be able to have boy a fix widely quickly but that's like you're changing supply lines for the detergent you've got to have people manually changing the detergent I feel like someone could walk up to a thing and would you trust the average gas station attendant to update the firmware again my lawn would generally rather that than an internet-connected carwash okay if you were the business owner of the gas station would you want that person potentially breaking your expensive car wash but like you also have to look into if someone dies in your car wash this thing beats the crap oh yeah I get it I get that too I'm just saying that I do see both sides right I understand why a car wash might want to be connected right at the very least it should have like you have to be on its network to be able to do it and stuff I just like get some better IT guys I don't know I don't know man just saying so Twitter is apparently testing an automatic tweet promotion service so it's a $99 monthly automatic tweet promotion thing I'm amplifies all your tweets and your profile for a full 30-day period that's actually smart I think a lot of companies could go okay it's only 99 bucks yeah I'd probably buy it everything will perform better I said that makes a lot of sense we should probably just buy it it's no no need to create any dedicated ads low commitment you can cancel it anytime it's in beta so they're giving participants the first 30 days free very interesting it's absolutely like a really smart idea I haven't seen a smart idea from Twitter in terms of monetization yet at all and that's a very that's a very good idea ouch yeah I'm not kidding though and like I think I think they probably wouldn't even take that as a dig because from what they've said publicly that seems to line up with their thinking as well huh promote your business today okay welcome to Twitter ads celebrity blabbity blabbity blah oh yeah I'm just curious I'm like is it in here like where do you know target potential you guys can't see it right now and I think that's because we don't necessarily know what's going to pop up on screen yeah I don't have a Twitter ads account so like this is stupid why don't TechCrunch is article have a link to oh it's a private beta private beta aimed at small businesses and individuals rather than big brands well I want it I want to try it I want people to care about my my tweets handle cuz it knows you're logged in and it didn't know what handle yet Oh Twitter come on guys Oh Twitter it shows like his logo because he's logged in in the corner and it's like what hand what what handle do you I hate that oh no never mind technology and computing is a category that is fantastic okay due to the limited nature we cannot support other target audiences okay terms and conditions I agree I'm not a robot and submit okay so we're applying right now this is a closed beta program please be sure that to make the information match your handle on your invitation if you're not part of the initial invite list we have recorded your application we'll follow up if we open the beta cool all right well I want to give Twitter my money I don't really but we'll see apparently Twitter added a total of zero new users last quarter uh like I'm thinking net yeah isn't that terrifying if your whole value of your company is your user base but then like how do you add home value of their company is the the what do I don't remember what his handle is the real Donald Trump or whatever I was looking through handles recently and I typed at and the first thing that came up was that and I promise you I've never been to that account I'm not even just saying that about him I don't go to political people Twitter accounts because I don't care Wow yeah all right then now yeah we hope not now you can buy solar energy from your neighbor on a blockchain I don't really have much else to say about that it's a new york-based startup and they want to help electricity users buy energy from their energy producing neighbors using smart meters and an app that seems like a niche within a niche within a niche and that's great um there's also mention of megawatts where you're paid to turn your water heater and other energy drains off I don't know why you'd be paid for that I'm assuming because you'd be able to sell more to your neighbors but I don't I'm not really sure this is pretty fascinating so tax evaders must now fear Instagram in India anyway check this out holiday posts on Instagram tipping off India's tax collectors so a photo of your shiny new car or Facebook post about your chic holiday cottage may cause you to get audited I mean it was a matter of time before this was going to happen but India's government will begin amassing a warehouse of virtual information starting next month collected not just from traditional sources like banks but also social media sites they'll be looking to match residents spending patterns with their income declarations so they'll be able to spot those who pay too little tax without like raiding their homes the way that they do now very interesting so in 2016 only 37 million of India's 1.3 billion people filed tax returns Wow that's somewhere in the neighborhood of 37% wait what yes sorry 33% 3% so India's efforts are similar to the UK's connect which is estimated to have cost about a hundred million pounds but prevented the loss of 5.4 billion in revenue and apparently the number of criminal prosecutions has risen wow that's incredible by like seven hundred percent from one hundred and sixty-five a year to eleven sixty five unbelievable me Amazon launches parcel delivery lockers for apartment buildings so yeah it's kind of boring apparently YouTube read and Google Play Music are going to merge to create a new service the original article here is from the verge and they've confirmed that it'll be one service to cover everything almost I mean I don't really understand what the real difference is other than branding here because they were already including Google Play Music with YouTube red I am super stoked to hope that my Google Play Music account will now include YouTube red but I'm not sure about that but they basically said they needed to merge the two services to help educate consumers and bring in new subscribers right now it's just kind of unnecessarily complicated so there's YouTube red which remove that from videos and once you save them offline while also giving you access to Google Play music for free then there's YouTube music which anyone can use but gets better if you're signed up for YouTube red and YouTube TV is an entirely separate thing but not available everywhere yet so they're combining the teams working on the two streaming services or rather they combined them earlier this year I guess really the last thing left on the show today is a look at what's going on over on slow-playing Club I guess I could also do like a teaser for LTX so one thing that's not going to be at LTX after all is the arcade machine Anthony has been away on a personal matter this week and he was the one who was going to kind of get all the little things that weren't quite done about it tidied up and get it transported there and it looks like we're not going to be able to get that done but we are still going to have a bunch of cool stuff there 16k gaming is still going to be there and on that subject I guess we can have a look at what's over on the slow plane so the crappiest SLI setup of all time pretty fun video that went up on Wednesday the conclusion of gaming at 16k resolution is up so if you guys are going to want to binge watch some some LTT that'll be included in there the how we
