Twitch live on Twitch are we live on you too oh wow oh my god we're live on YouTube are we live on Flo plane hey whoa okay it's not playing but that's you know what yeah oh that's reassuring Wow we are live on three platforms at once how many Terms of Service are we breaking right now one what are Flo please just you know what I know we're already half an hour late but darn it and we're gonna cut this and we're gonna do better we're gonna cut it yeah we're gonna come back we're gonna break more Terms of Service oh let's get a mixer account actually that wouldn't mixer lets you stream another still be only one guys welcome to the LAN show for the time simulcasting to flow plain YouTube and twitch TV we have never done this before pretty unreal floatplane just got live streaming support it's sort of so it's actually had live streaming capabilities for a long time but now it has a chat look at how ception is this okay so they got me in the corner like people watching on YouTube they've got youtuber Linus in the corner over here and then there's like whatever there's the corner of me and the corner of the floatplane they're like they're like watching through you could see the delay look at that baby yeah anyway so it's got I think what about like seven seven second delay or is it's for most people I expect it will be around ten seconds plus or minus two but I do like I don't know it doesn't matter it doesn't matter any anyway so huh do you want do you want to tell us how much fun this was to get going it actually wasn't even that bad really we've had we've had the last room apart working for a while take some wine the kid that was not that was not full plates problem that was not full Plains problem you're just gonna pin it right on Jake aren't ya no it's it's so rtmp servers as far as we can tell yeah don't like what is it hold on wait stop hold that thought look at this the video quality is great I was just gonna share that with the YouTube people who are enjoying YouTube live streaming quality I enjoy that you two people just dictate we love you YouTube people mate mates over on YouTube right now wait what are you doing watching on YouTube bro wow wow wow wow way to not support Luke yeah so the guy that fixed it AJ thank you actively playing beer pong because it's like definitely after work just uh in all capital letters and it's a good thing I'm great at this game super alright alright so we got a great show for you guys today I think I don't know I haven't actually looked at the notes um Windows 10 if you check for updates it's been downloading preview patches oops what else we got here leaks send the launch of the Galaxy S 10 not to be confused with the galaxy s 9 my friends this will be totally different and two incredible things happen in China iPhone sales were completely halted and they banned fortnight and pub G China you know why you got to be no fun how are we supposed to play pop G on our iPhones now let's roll the intro anywhere without a kappa okay maybe maybe I beat back but who's Manning the floatplane oh that must be Nick probably yeah that's not a mystery Nick all right so why don't we jump right into our first topic today Windows 10 you know this has always driven me nuts have you ever been driven nuts by clicking check for updates in Windows and it being like your computer's up-to-date and then quite literally three minutes later you'll get like a thing downloading up wins yeah and it's like a service pack and you're kind of sitting there going I do not see that what exactly is the purpose I wish I could swear right now we don't really swear on this show but no what is the purpose of this button if it doesn't check for updates well now they made it work too good so according to Microsoft Windows 10 has B C and D updates and each is released once per month these quality updates are smaller than feature updates like the October 2018 update that came with all kinds of great features so it was wonderful which are meant to be released once every six months usually in the spring and fall anyway it doesn't matter so B is the biggest and comes out on Patch Tuesday the second Tuesday of the month these are the most important updates featuring new security fixes and they contain previously released security fixes from prior B updates and previously released bug fixes from prior C and D updates Windows Update doesn't automatically install C and D updates on most pcs however it does when you check for updates maybe according to a recent Microsoft blog post this makes you a seeker so just because you're like hey I should have my computer I was pretty good I was pretty pale I okay in the most recent which I think is still only on flow plane the ass recent PC manufacturers investigation video that Joe Klein and then they put in the credits for the joke what was the joke line I don't even remember this I don't remember what you said I said something super punny okay super aggressively punny and they like pause the whole video and ran credits as if it was over and it was like for joke writer Linus like joke delivery Linus all this kind of stuff and then like joke support Ivan or something it was it was wonderful I really enjoyed them I can say without beyond a shadow of a doubt that must have been edited by Pella that is a plus 1,000% also I love it I enjoyed it a lot anyways back back on topic the seeker thing so literally just wanting your computer to be up to date and like secured and more stable which is generally what you would hope that means you get labeled as a seeker which is basically a beta testing program like what No so wait a beta testing Beta Beta testing program for B updates taking place on stable pcs they have repeatedly said only advanced users should click the check for updates button accept what everyone has trained everyone to do forever is like when you're doing maintenance you just click the check for updates so what if I click this on like one of the servers because I'm performing server maintenance on the weekend and I want updates because it's time to reboot them no no now I'm an advanced using yes well you are but like so you shouldn't be automatically oh this is fun so this could explain why Microsoft generated so much hate within the tech community specifically like like there it seemed like there was a disproportional response to the whole deleting files thing because normally that kind of thing can happen but it'll be among users who will like complain to their sister over dinner that like stupid laptop my files are going but it was like enthusiasts shrieking about it so apparently the people who had their files deleted by the faulty October update were users who click the check for updates button that's insane it's actually insane Wow so that could have easily happened to me because I was like oh yeah you know I I haven't really installed any updates bla bla bla lately but I do click that button when I'm ready to install an update you know it's interesting fascinating I noticed I haven't talked about this on web show I guess I don't think so but I'm running mint right now yes not on show ok yeah I did know this so I'm running mint right now I was running these Linux by the way yeah for the uninitiated yeah I was running 8.1 embedded systems I loved heard it's mint I loved it but embedded systems it's not automatically downloading updates I had it flag to not automatically download updates what made it so I had to switch to mint was I ran Windows updates and then my computer restarted black screen nothing worked I could see my mouse but couldn't do anything anything at all try to recover the OS nothing not gonna work set it error in every single time Bad Bad News Bears I switched to mint to recover it oh I did mint live CD to recover my stuff that worked I got all my files sounds good installed windows again did updates again black screen again ok did mint more permanently this time maybe it's cuz I checked updates this is talking Windows 10 specifically but I did notice when I checked the like optional updates thing yeah I looked at it there was preview Oh interest I didn't put that together until literally right now the crazy thing about this is they have the insider program yeah like they actually have a welcome I think well communicated formal program for this floatplane stream quality seems to be all over the place in case you were just curious so some users are getting literally like 23 someone wrote they're getting 23 megabits a second down which is pretty dumb for a live stream if your connection can take it yeah then enjoy but others are saying they have they have good connections and it's like looking pretty Pinner and mine in fact is not is looking a little soft right now so it was looking a really sharp before I think AJ's in the chat he's he's hanging out some people really get that look look look okay you click the check for updates button when you join flow plane that's basically a big check for updates button this it's its beta its beta its alpha its alpha its very alpha it's very weird that people are getting like monstrous mega bit down but it's it's it's a mixture of things that right now there's no manual quality settings so there's a mixture of things that determine what quality you're getting including mine just sharpened definitely bleeding viewport size and a few other things as well oh really okay interesting someone just said they peaked at 32 megabits a second that is ridiculous I have no idea what's doing that but AJ's AJ's here yeah AJ is the hero full hero mode anyway I haven't experienced that before on any of the test either what are you getting yeah I'm way I'm lander I'm like way way less than that like I'm receiving anywhere as low as like two 6-4 yeah it's a little better now anyway why don't we move on to our next next news topic for the day leaks and launch the Galaxy S 10 is coming and I am having a real hard time getting interested in another phone right now yeah cuz they're all really boring well I just had a whole slew of them not just boring gal Samsung was sort of my last hope for someone to not jump on this like weird cutouts and holes in the display bandwagon like I don't know about you but when I first got a webcam so this was quite a long time ago when I first got a webcam the mounting system for the particular one that I bought was not very good and what happened was it kind of hung down a little bit in front of my screen giving me well effectively a knotch I thought it was stupid then I think it's stupid now now I have seen some relatively tasteful applications of the knotch have you seen the oneplus 60 yeah and the like little swoop I think it's a lot better yeah but I am NOT a fan of the infinity Oh display that is rumored to be coming in the s10 I can't I can't River who said this but some who'd someone wants to get you know we we nicknamed the thingy a notch I don't know who said this but they said this should be called the pimple and I think that's kind of cool here oh yeah that doesn't look good at all especially the s10 plus like what the heck so I can get it there's two things there but like even if they made it like yeah I don't know it's just weird and useless and I don't like it like they could have just made the chin bar smaller again and just just I don't know I just know yours might not be a very popular opinion but you actually spent some time with a pixel three XL and you had your own experience with a pretty ridiculous knotch I didn't really mind it please do elaborate that's honestly pretty much it I didn't really care it pretty much never bought oh why do you care because it doesn't have to be that way what's wrong with the note 9 Samsung already nailed it they already nailed it it's fine it's fine exactly I don't think it's a good thing I'm not saying it's a positive thing I don't wish it was on all my devices it just doesn't really bother me if they have to go that low and honestly pixel devices while I have enjoyed them very much because I really like stock Android I've never really been other than their camera I've never really been like the bleeding edge of what can happen with a phone fair enough you know what I mean software wise sure hardware wise yeah no the bleeding edge is this my phone including a selfie remote that that is the bleeding edge that is literally the only thing I use this pencil that's pretty funny actually also that one tweet that I sent where I put a bunch of question marks on it all right well why don't we walk through what's what's shakin with these phones here I mean there's some cool stuff so there's gonna be three versions the s10 the s10 light and the s10 plus so the 10 and the 10 plus are rumored to be curved they are wait is this even like rumored is this consider yeah these are these are maybe leaks I don't know whatever it doesn't matter sure let's call them rumors so the s10 is gonna have 128 or 512 gigs of storage that is a lot of phone storage making in my opinion microSD expansion slot basically irrelevant so if we can move past needing to put SIM cards in our phones like a bunch of chimps from you know 1998 at some point then we can do away with a tray that slides out of our phones increasing their water resistance it's gonna be $7.99 or $9.99 this is in pounds so I don't know how that translates usually the Europeans just kind of get fleeced on that conversion so it'll probably be equivalent in US dollars even though the pound last time I checked I paid attention to the whole like brexit thing going on and what that's done to the currency but last I checked it was worth more than the USD the s10 plus is going to be 0.3 inches bigger and we'll have a one terabyte version along with 128 replacing these along with the 128 and 512 and go for as much as 13 99 pounds and then the s10 light will have a non curved display 128 gigs in it'll be cheaper at 669 so still pretty pricey but by the time you buy it on a 2 or 3 year contract or whatever your carriers offer you can have it pretty darn subsidized you could probably get it for like a couple hundred bucks they are supposed to include headphone jacks an in screen ultrasonic fingerprint scanner no iris scanner anymore they're doing away with that the iris scanner it was cool but it's like it's obviously a stepping stone like that wasn't gonna be the way forward unless they could figure out how to make a super fisheye lens on the on the front of the phone high resolution enough to read your iris from anywhere and that's I don't know maybe someday but it's not realistic right now yeah the ability to wirelessly charge other devices is something they're calling power share okay have you seen this have you seen this how they want to do this no it's like put up your phone we're sharing power now friend I'm not even kidding what is the point of that you see this is literally the thing in my life that most often needs to be topped up why exactly do it so you have to like NFC photo share power now it's the greatest feature I've ever okay to be fair yeah didn't add to the cost which like it's gonna add to the cost but if it didn't add to the cost the ability to like kind of jumpstart someone sure kind of cool sure I guess I would probably have a battery bank on me sure but sure yeah but it's good add to the cost so like whatever I don't know um you know it's really interesting my I have not run out of phone battery ever since I got a car with Android auto because there's such a good reason to plug in my phone when I'm driving and with not not even fast charged I don't even use fast charge I think it's like a two amp charger something like nothing special but even with that with how quickly phones charge these days it's like kind of amazing actually because if I'm at you know 20% or whatever and I just drive somewhere for ten minutes it'll be at thirty five forty and boom I'm good for like a significant amount of the rest good little pop ups and it's nice because that can actually extend the overall life of your of your phone as well I'm saying that to the stream so random little flow point update while you do that we're out over 350 people live right now really the average viewer is getting 4.4 megabit per second the reason why people are seeing like some low end stuff is because they're getting bursts god gotcha yeah and actually four point four isn't that low for a stream for the average viewer got it alright so most people don't watch it source we do need to have manual selections though so that people can choose to be higher that would be I'll be good when you're gonna get hired she'd be a choice all right I thought I'm tired like because this week was tiring or yeah it has been it has been a tiring week I like I've hardly even seen this guy we're like kind of back to that thing where like the entire week went by and I didn't even see you yeah what is exciting in Luke land in Luke land like the place where Luke lives my snowboard showed up nice yeah that's cool we gotta go snowboarding yep definitely mine super old like when I was a teenager was I even a teenager yet I think I got it before I moved in with my mom so I was I didn't get much taller I was just gonna say I still actually have my snowboard I was around then too and it just doesn't work for me anymore the boots don't fit it's not tall enough you keep it just in case I need something necessarily talk about some of the stuff I guess I can't say floatplane things yeah because because the rest of its like my grandpa stuff I just told the floatplane stuff is uh no that's still I guess I can talk about the problems sure okay so I'm trying to get a place I'm living in Basin Street for a long time I've been trying to buy an accommodation of my own pretty nice basement suite yes yes but it's it's an accommodation of my own so right oh it's going down all right that's not great anyways and my problem right now is Shaw is the only isp available at the place that I want to go to you and Shaw's maximum commercial up or residential upload if I remember correctly he's like 15 or 20 megabit per second up and I don't want to deal with that because I want a stream and stuff Shaw has shown time and time again that they're not interested over the last many years they're not interested in increasing that has to do with their infrastructure being more TV based in whatever whatever so like it will never go up they just doubled their download speed for everyone almost everyone but the upload didn't go up at all yeah so you can get a connection that I think is what six hundred megabits down and like ten up I'm pretty sure it's six hundred down 15 up 15 up oh oh sorry 15 you know it's funny because I have been on our commercial connection here so give it up gigabit down for so long like it has been so we got fiber at the old office that would have been we've been in this building for three plus years now so that would have been like four and a half years ago and that fiber was 151 feet 150 150 so it had been almost half a decade since I had uploaded a video to YouTube from a cable modem okay so before I got fiber at my house I have three hundred three hundred fiber at my house anyway before I got the fiber in at my house for some reason I had to like transcode a wine show or something like the stream broke in the middle or something I had to choose I had to splice it together and then upload it and I took it home to do it and I clicked upload and then I like sat there and I expected to just sit at my computer and finish babysitting it and making sure that it went live and then I checked the the timer for it and it was like yeah come back in two and a half hours like what it's like you go back quite a few years in terms of Internet and I was on there three hundred down connection which is now the 600 down so I must have been 15 megabit up cuz that 50 mega that's one and a half megabytes a second so to upload 90 megabytes is a minute so nine hundred megabytes would be ten minutes so then something like the wine show which is now I think a six and a half or eight gigabyte file or something stupid like that okay fine maybe it wasn't two hours maybe was a hard 1/2 doesn't matter the point is that sucks it's bad and then you're gonna have some fluctuations and that and Shaw is somewhat shared in terms of their performance so if you were trying to do that in a high time primetime gonna be slower so anyways I'm not down I'm not down at all with Shaw connection I might know especially if that's the only option uh uh not gonna do it and apparently Shaw in this building was like oh we're gonna give five years free Internet 30 and basic cable so tell us was like I use were just not I'm not gonna go in there no potential customers so I'm trying to talk to tell us right now be like hey there's some potential customers like these connections do whatever just come on would you do it sure would you hold on a minute cuz like my internet goes over 100 bucks a month yeah okay so the reason why I said sure right away yes I've literally thought about this scenario already okay okay so you would pay like two hundred and fifty bucks a month it'll be a little it'll be less than that but it's it's still about two hundred bucks a month okay you would pay two hundred bucks a month if they were like you know you need and find six people okay and you could only find five you'd buy two to get a fiber into the building yes because would you buy three that were probably getting to a no at that point because what I'm doing you have nine hundred megabits it you could get like almost because Isaac you know but you could do so remember that video we did okay sorry I know I interrupted hold that phone oh this is this is cool this is crazy because we're getting the 10 gig connection here you remember that video we did when I tells bonding service you could bond your connection through a VPN to the office you could bond the connections you're so close physically this way that the latency hit wouldn't be that bad you'd eat like three milliseconds probably oh my god that would be hilarious would you pay if you could bond the connections for free because I wouldn't charge you to put something serve room I don't care that'd be hilarious about it what do I care you wouldn't even be using it half the time if that was okay if it was just like for funsies no but if it was like to get tell us into the building yeah sure you'd do it yeah all right interesting mainly because that contract would have a time gate on it and I would be able to not that's at some point yeah because okay my issue is right now that place is actually a really good deal yeah so that increased monthly would still technically make that place worth it sure God makes sense that's the reasoning behind it guy got it if I had to get the other place I'm looking at I would not do that regardless got it got it got it ah I'm having fun I'm having fun but all good things must come to a pause not an end the show is not opens they're still good things let's tell you guys about Maus backpacks this is the new one is it yeah this is the previous one this was my briefing and then this this is the slightly even more older version of this one but this is the one that I actually daily drives so that makes it easier I guess no that's the Oh this is the old grande wait is this bigger than mine is that do you have a grande I don't know no I don't know if you do I don't have a grande I have a smaller one okay shut up anyways this is updated December 2018 this is the new Grande okay it's the previous condom put that one away apparently it was so we can compare differences but like no we aren't gonna do that okay you can't buy the old one anymore anyway so there's a pocket fact there's a pocket there I use this pocket for my screwdriver and I use this pocket for when I accidentally forget to take my microphone and my teleprompter out of my pocket at the end of the day and I put it here so everyone knows all the shooters know if - - I can't find it check there it's a fantastic pocket to have like dedicated to that one thing I want to point out I point this out every single time but its case you haven't seen the show before the orange the orange is amazing the orange makes it so that you like shiny reflective bright orange you can easily see into the bottom of here I put my if I put my wallet in there you can easily see that the wallet is there yeah your old of urkki bag was orange on the inside and that's like that's that's it's really helpful with finding speaking of key I keep my USB keys in this zippered pocket in mine Oh me except I don't have these ones I don't think so that's cool I guess I keep a mouse in here but this one has the power feature so you can plug in which is actually what do you want John Oh more third well you know what Moss is cool they don't care okay you can say 25% using offer code Linus tech 25 which is the same as the percentage that you're saving this other sides for but it's kind of like plasticy so maybe it's supposed to be for a water bottle in case you get a little leak I think so and then finally you've got boom a built-in battery bank slash charger doodad with type C and type A ports and mine has all this stuff but frankly I ripped it out because I don't really charge stuff in my bag but you can do that sir some people love that function oh yeah I just I don't really care it's fine so you can use offer code lines tech 25 atmoss organizer calm until Christmas oh it's 25 because it's 25% off and Christmas is December 25th Oh so get this get this sorry I'm gonna move our sponsor stuff away cuz this is gonna get a little bit political oh okay apparently there's a school in Vancouver that is banning candy canes because the red symbol and the J symbolize the blood of Jesus okay so I don't normally like get real is that even bad when you when you go to church don't you like well the point is that it's upsetting to people who don't go to church not people who do oh yeah no no yes that's sort of like one of the fundamental you know blood of the Christ and the flesh of the all of that all of that kind of so other people can't so other people are mad because candy canes are in the SKU and if anyone who's involved in this decision is watching I think you're an idiot I just want to throw that out there there's nothing wrong with wearing turbans there's nothing wrong with eating candy canes yep because it doesn't matter if you disagree you're actually stupid all right why don't you move on to our next book so this is something we can all agree on savage jerky is delicious it is I'm gonna have some teriyaki you want actually you know what I'm gonna go with some habanero buffalo sauce on I don't see that either that's been opened so someone got into it Colton was probably like what is this probably cold or Jonah savage jerky is made with high-quality ingredients without nitrates or preservatives with the goal of creating a snack that's full of flavor and spice but that isn't bad for you they've got 13 different flavors of jerky all right this is a hot one it's pretty hot like they're sriracha bacon and maple buffalo bacon that's my favorite they make barbecue sauces hot sauces and the spice rub and their Carolina Reaper hot sauces is one of the hottest peppers in the world the Carolina Reaper you can use offer go to ltte to save 10% at Savage jerky boom that one's good actually it's not that hot I like it it's just hot yeah that's actually a really good overdo it if you like if you like spice but no I feel like to taste things yeah I think it's at a really good spot for that that's really because it's really you've got the heat but like it's fine I don't think I've tried this one before I definitely have it hmm buffalo sauce anything with buffalo sauce have you ever tasted anything with buffalo sauce on it that's not good actually yes unfortunately what was it it was a rack of ribs you had Buffalo ribs that sucked yeah not in our house no no no those were wonderful they were Buffalo but they were good wherever they were they were fantastic I just yeah no that was not there a completely different thing Wow who decided wasn't these either good I saw that one coming yeah I know well no these are clearly not ribs I think I don't think anyone just making sure I don't think any people wanted to ban candy canes proper oh lordy okay private Internet access private access supports a variety of VPN protocols and types of encryption and authentication allowing you to dial in the exact level privacy protection that you need they've got apps for Windows Mac OS Android iOS Linux and Google Chrome what more do you want and you can connect up to five devices at the same time on a single account so I don't know if this is against their Terms of Service but like when my in-laws went to China I was like yo use my account bippity Boppity sign in on both their phones and drop them off at the airport cool beautiful yeah done didn't work the whole time while they were over there China's constantly in like this sort of arms race with VPN providers but they were able to actually like check their email periodically which is better than nothing yeah their apps include DNS leak protection and ipv6 leak protection they have an internet kill switch that will block all traffic if the VPN becomes disconnected and you can check it out today at LM GGG /p i a when or also like this thing which is even worse yeah yeah we should we really still like it's possible he even set up the shortener now we should just shortener that ourselves we should well it's just the graphic that's been okay all right iPhone sales speaking of China halted in China a Chinese Court this is originally posted by diehard on the forum and the original article is from Reuters a Chinese cry I thought that was Reuters until like two years ago I had never heard anyone say Reuters it's Reiter's you said Reuters I thought that was literally a different website that I hadn't necessarily seen nope okay no I just only seen it in text like I'd read any of it but I never I've heard it but I thought it was just a different website I don't really listen to video and I don't have a cable subscription so I don't watch like TV news I have to explain people all the time that I don't want shows very often like I'm usually gonna do something instead and that's apparently super weird but all right well even me I'll like make like a family guy references something from like back in the first few season when it was really good and like everyone was watching it I don't know if it was that good it seemed good at the time let's just it was pretty big then it was it was big at least big yeah and I'm like and you're like I don't know so I take so much flak for talking like a valley girl do you even notice what okay on our on our typical videos okay where it's sort of mostly our subscribers watching there's nothing there's nothing about the earrings there's nothing about he's probably gay there's nothing about valley girl speak but when our videos get picked up by the algorithm and they start to spread yeah yeah a great example was the the stealing tampons on go from the Amazon go story so it was hilarious because all of a sudden it was like going back ten years and I'm like yeah - when I first started uploading videos and the comments section was super predictable he said his voice is annoying yeah um my hair wasn't as bad Ben so there weren't as many comments about that it's worse now and anyway so there was there was one that recently that kind of managed to go outside our usual sphere of viewers that watch it and it was the Walmart gaming PC and I had wanted to ask do you even notice not even remotely huh I have never thought that at any point in time and I brought it up because just before I brought it up the reason that I thought of it was I said like probably at least every third word over a span of about 15 words myself doing it I was like huh I know I've never but you got to also consider like our age group said like a lot we did it was like a thing that wasn't jut Jesus Christ that wasn't just a sorry it wasn't just a valley girl level thing that was a like a popular thing to do at that point in time regardless of being valley girl or not someone said you don't seem valley girl but you do seem Western Canada I'm like well yeah yeah for sure I was like Paul yeah maybe the problem is I do too okay remember when I used to edit your videos yes and you would comment like sorry you have to listen to my voice so I was like I don't get it I don't care yeah like I never I've never noticed any of that yeah I don't even think your voice is particularly high but apparently I'm just objectively wrong about that so like it's pretty bad I don't know you know I experimented for a while hosting videos and this slightly lower register so it came from one that I hosted when I was sick yeah yeah and what I did was I experimented with delivering a little bit more like this like Italy I don't like it a bit more bass I don't like and a lot of people noticed and some of them said wow this is an amazing improvement all of a sudden I can actually listen to these videos but the majority of the people who commented on it we're actually upset they're like no I like you I like to my outline is like what it's it's it feels very disingenuous to me it people said it felt really sterile yeah more like I was a presenter reading the script that had been provided to me as though I didn't fully understand it you sound almost radio yeah maybe maybe a little bit more I mean I still don't think I have a radio voice but you know face maybe boys know ah let's move on we wanted to talk about the whole like Chinese thing right iPhone sales halted so a Chinese Court has ordered a sales ban of select iPhone models in China for violating two patents of the chip maker Qualcomm Inc though intellectual property lawyer said enforcement of the band was still likely a distant threat the case is part of a global patent dispute between Apple and Qualcomm that includes dozens of lawsuits Apple said it's filed a request for reconsideration with the court the first step in a long appeal process the fugu Intermediate People's Court found Apple infringed to Qualcomm patents and ordered an immediate ban on sales of iPhone models from the 6s through to the 10 China Hong Kong and Taiwan or Apple's third largest market accounting for about one-fifth of their total 265 and a half I'm sorry billion in sales in the most recent fiscal year so there's a little bit of commentary here that this could be a political play because Apple is a direct competitor to some of the biggest companies in China whereas Qualcomm as a supplier so you can see them siding with them there but I mean frankly I wouldn't be surprised if this just ends up being kind of an attempt to waste time more than anything else like I don't really understand the purpose of this kind of thing yeah - already it's from the 6s 3 to the 10 the appeal process will take I mean I don't know if the Chinese courts are as slow as the ones over here but I suspect they probably are very long I don't know then again I did watch the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies man but pretty efficient to me but you never you never know so if they take anywhere near as long as it is here by the time Apple were ever to have to actually pay anything or a sales ban were to actually go in effect those models would probably be eol and therefore completely irrelevant so I mean we saw a really similar thing happened with some of the early galaxy models where by the time Apple managed to force Samsung to stop selling them in North America they were outdated and replaced by newer ones anyway I mean that's the that's sort of it's just one of the ways in which the patent system has failed us due to the pace of modern technology there are many ways if you didn't understand that illusion because you don't like Kenny Gaines I don't even like candy canes I mean I'm not even defending candy canes till I like them I think they're stupid and they're not very good and when I first heard that candy canes were being banned in the school I actually agreed I was like oh it's probably a danger thing like between either sharpening up the one end and like stabbing someone with it or taking the you end putting it in a fist and like really messing someone up because that could be done you know you punched some soft tissue with that like even if it didn't stay completely sharp you could definitely do some damage I was like oh yeah that makes sense and then I was I was talking about wife about it and she's like no no it's because it's like a religious symbol I'm just saying I never even put that together well pretty much everything Christmas I know but like the J and the like whoa that may not even what do you what it is but that just might be why people are mad about it sure okay why no no what I'm gonna Google this Oh someone on floatplane chat just asked where do I buy that shirt I know I've been wearing this shirt for literally months know where to buy it no we have a huge shipment you've seen Nick's office right yes it's full of boxes and boxes and boxes of these shirts we're gonna have a new store it's gonna be on LT t store com we've been hard at work on this for a very very long time it has taken too long but that's a whole other conversation but pretty much what happened was we weren't happy with either the speed of delivery or the quality of the printing or the service or whatever else from any of the merch providers that we've dealt with for one reason or another we have ended up switching every time and so we finally went you know what this is gonna be a lot of work and it has been a lot of work but we're just going to find a way to do merch fulfillment ourselves so over on LT t store calm right now you can pre-order the scam USB Drive which is actually 32 gigs it's from Kingston but says terabyte on it because we're funny so we lose it to this in one of our recent videos this is just kind of like a collector's item so you can you can get one if you want or you can not get one if you don't want it's a pre-order just please note but it's like it's a Kingston USB Drive you know exactly what you're getting apparently someone in chat oh really all right and very soon and Nick is standing there presumably with an update you will be able to buy this shirt that's not why you're here shirts TVD what what is not DVD are they up oh yeah so also coming is cable ties do you want to bring that kit there's a cable tie here okay so we're gonna have packs of 10 they're packs of 20 sorry they're LTT you can't see these at all I'm sorry whatever you still can't see them this alt T on the end Adams gonna bring them to the camera really super autofocus yeah honestly honestly they're nothing super amazing they're just nice cable ties they look clean so you guys know it's it's a white box with LTT in it never was oh is it orange printing like like the yeah okay so oh okay we don't have many of those oh are they like supposed to be limited edition or we just didn't think they'd sell as well alright apparently we played it safe on the orange ones who would want you know orange ones actually I think I think I was in on that decision okay yes so if I don't like them I have only myself to blame and Nick and Lloyd what can I do for you okay yeah yeah yeah we're like in the middle wind chill yeah we started super late we're streaming on floatplane oh yeah Oh China bands fortnight and pub G a panel of sensors set up to vet mobile video games in China has assessed the first 20 titles that it did refusing nine of my permission to go on sale including fortnight and pub Jean developers of the other 11 have been told that they need to make adjustments to remove controversial content everyone was either banned or had go back to your game ANDed the alert E's have voiced concerns about the violent nature of some titles as well as expressed worries about the activity being addictive so in fairness to China should fortnight be banned no the so President Xi Jinping has also called our kids more to be done to tackle a rise in nearsightedness among the young something that the children trees Ministry of Education has linked to children playing video games at the cost of spending time on outdoor pastimes okay parent your kids and what does the Chinese government mean exactly by in harmonious chatroom they wouldn't like twitch is twitch no twitch isn't over there right the chemical no yeah I mean anything with live chat it's pretty tough over there and it's got to be pretty banned yeah pretty censored and stuff like Excel spreadsheet oh yeah surprise okay it looks there's an edit on reddit that says it has been brought to the original posters attention that Blizzard posted an announcement on their official Weibo denying that they've received notice for action needed on their games but that has since been deleted the Chinese community has been somewhat divided with some accepting this list as believable and others saying it's probably fake since anyone could make it yeah it's it's just like you were saying it's not even it's just it's just a table actually be really bad for blizzard in a lot of ways because it's set in there Diablo was because of like in harmonious chat no no it was game missions include fraud fascinating immortal was like specifically for China and they just also happen to include America because they're like an you might like it too apparently no and not at all but that's like how that went down oh my goodness razor has an app that uses your GPU to mine crypto and apparently keeps the coins by cinnabar sonar on the forum do you like Razer points or something so the app is called soft miner a desktop app that utilizes the idle GPU processing power of gamers battle stations to solve complex blockchain based puzzles on the back end Razer rewards the owner of the PC running the app with Razer silver which can only be used to buy digital goods from razor razor says in their soft minor FAQ Razer silver is not a crypto currency it is a loyalty rewards program we work with crypto mining technology to harness your computer's GPU and in turn we award you with silver giving you access to razor's ecosystem and suite of rewards possibly controversial who cares really what who cares don't run it what if you don't realize like what if you how do you not realize that because you're against candy canes you're against candy cane it's very realistic to think that there are many people who do not understand crypto well enough to know that Razer is taking their money and then giving them Razer bucks but you could mean that isn't that basically the whole crypto thing you could like these all the white ones oh these are the orange ones oh you got orange ones yeah oh you dumped you on the table yeah so the orange one looks like that there's a like orange thing on the end and it says LTTE and then the white one is more likely to go with your RGB system because it's just white that's true but especially if your kale imagining behind the back I think would be really cool to have the orange one we actually went through quite a few like it's amazing how hard it is to get something done with time in China like it's cheap yeah like it's affordable but there's a lot of time that you end up spending just to get something printed that's quality and looks acceptable and arrives on time and is like packaged reasonably nicely and like all this kind of stuff so we're expecting these to go live in the next few days they can't really hear you very well to give context and I think we tried working with like or we got samples from four different factories yeah some of them were pretty garbage actually not usable than these ones I wouldn't call them the best cable ties I've ever used but I can't think of anything that's better like they're good so we were we were comfortable putting the brand on them and they look pretty nice so yeah yeah I like the orange ones I would try to get those if I were you guys the orange ones are dope you're making it hard for us to sell 90% of our inventory Luke way to go I'm just trying to make people go fast speaking of way to go good either way to go you guys for watching oh no we don't have a there's no no viewer counter plain real high is it it's kind of flirtin with the potential limit of that port so what's the speed of that port not the speed the maximum connections thanks for coming out all right thanks guys oh we didn't do like any super chats or like floatplane chat oh lordy okay Stu i speaking of Samsung what do you guys think of recent news the Samsung Galaxy gold being priced at ATS more specifically what I should say I think it's a matter of time before the actual smartphone manufacturer is the Sam and apples of the world I think it's a matter of time before they clue in that third parties are already reselling their phones for six thousand dollars with goofy skins built into them and just do it themselves yes this is this is happening Jake asks new tech showdown I don't think so I don't think yeah I don't don't know mate says Merry Saturday because he's Australian New Zealand New Zealand yeah don't say that names cool they don't like that hi Thomas bear hi musical pumpkin please make a compensator 3.0 we don't even know what we would put in it it's they they kind of that's not really like a thing anymore really first of all our average video is basically compensator 17 every time these days and then which is like it's great but then also the idea of compensator doesn't really makes sense because they nerfed the heck out of SLI so like it's the yeah it's a different concept it's it's great I like the new concept it's just the original concept of compensator doesn't relieve we were basically trying to show that it's really stupid to put four graphics cards in your system and now it's like you can but they won't really work that way Heineken SD Ackman how's our gamers the amount of like is so damn high lol thank you from the bottom of my heart for saying how stupid the candy cane ban is you spent 15 bucks for being mad about candy canes getting banned I can get mad about all kinds of stuff if you guys will pay me well it's not so much getting mad about them as just like you know what you want to open up these floodgates cuz like I think Nick and Luke can tell you I can get real mad about an awful lot of stuff oh yeah oh yeah alright I think that's pretty much it everyone thank you guys for tuning in and we will see you again next week same bat-time same bat-channel thanks j-rock is that the one who posted in floatplane shot that some people have multiple tabs open just like guys do whatever no problem I'm just gonna go put the fire out it's hot it's all good no problem I'm sorry Nick
