DEFEND THE INTERNET!! - WAN Show April 28, 2017

2017-04-29
really even Wow earlier we one minute broke agency I was gonna yeah to be fair not a full minute but we are early welcome to the wine show of 28th of April 2017 yeah we have some really cool topics one of them being that acer has announced their most badass gaming monitor yet which is pretty sick the FCC announced is it plan to reverse title 2 of net neutrality which I don't personally know a ton of Oaks I'm a Canadian we were like no that but John will have much better insights on that topic Amazon's Alex with an A ah learns to talk like a human which is cool Elon Musk at a TEDx conference in Vancouver teases a little bit of the Tesla electric semi truck which is pretty cool and for new gigafactory locations which is pretty ridiculous and yeah there was one more thing oh my god I keep on double clicking with my touchpad and I'm a super noob Nintendo is launching a new 2d s XL which is like flippy and stuff which is what the three es probably should have been this whole time so it could have been cheaper and that 3d option would have just never been there which would have been completely fine and that's the show this week intro Rowley intro look at it work like that don't you like that we just press a button if I can just tap it it's so pretty the Manchus oh my god like that means a mechanic spectrum glasses and coolermaster and move that back up there and go back alright so first things first that crazy monitor let's get up to the top here do it um a sirs new gaming monitor the notes and the docs say that it is 44 Hertz but my extremely techy brain was like there's no way that's accurate thanks a lot James yeah yeah so it's 144 Hertz HD our 4k uhd monitor super badass want to keep talking about it yeah they threw luke said um being billed as the nicest Acer or gaming monitor that acer has ever made um there we go it has a local dimming for better contrast which is actually pretty cool yeah so that that's part of the HDR bit where than all the different zones and it can like turn off different zones to get better darkness and contrast so yeah that one's a better solution is to get better contrast four milliseconds of response time it doesn't say what kind of a panel it is I believe it will be in what four milliseconds it will be an IPS so like a little bit quicker IPS and should look fairly nice which is cool mm-hmm also has HDMI 2.0 I don't know if HDMI 2.1 has made us Wayne's onto any consumer devices yet but if you want to run for case if she hurts on this monitor you can do it through HDMI 2.0 uh you probably shouldn't though it's 144 Hertz monitor you're gonna want to ah yes run at $100 for her so yeah maybe if your graphics card like Lenore powered but yeah yeah I don't know if you want to like but for some reason have multiple inputs plugged in at once yes and you want to run something that doesn't need the fork 844 it's you can totally do that which is cool like like like right now if you had say this thing the analogue NT which you guys can't see but it's right off camera you want to have that plugged in and your computer you could totally do that yep and it also has Toby eye-tracking gulped in so okay if you can scroll back up a little bit there if you're wondering with that kind of bar on the right right here that is what that would be as an eye tracker so interesting Toby's been an interesting technology to follow because I tried them out at a CES yeah like quite a few years ago and like admittedly it was not very good it was pretty bad it was a little bit of a work in progress and I saw it as well yeah but it's kind of been a while I know seven if you guys know 7's big streamer he has it permanently mounted on the bottom of his monitor and he's done some streams where he used it and he says that it was pretty cool and I had him try it in front of me excels like OBS and it worked well for him so I'm assuming that it's gotten better over time which is cool I will also want to take a couple more words about that local dimming this monitor has so apparently it's 384 different backlighting zone yeah so the amount of control the monitor can exert over one tiny little section is actually pretty high but you do need you do need a 10 Series Nvidia graphics card so a 1080 or 1070 something like that with the DisplayPort 1.4 connector but that should not be very difficult to find this the modern standard yeah yeah yeah that's that's one thing about HDR with all the individually controllable what the heck but I felt like an accessor I rode on it let's see let's see yeah what it looks like so I wonder if that comes with it we'll see here I didn't notice anything about that I do you guys can see this on screen there's like like on a camera sometimes where I'm going to use totally the wrong term I'm sorry Brandon if you can hear this but on a camera sometimes there's like those things that can mow pass the lens to block certain light out from getting in the lens that you don't want and it's kind of like the same deal but for the monitor there's a hood on the top and there's to syphon sort of like horse blinders yeah so if you're not in like a optimum environment and you have glare or whatever else you're like this is an HD monitor with a whole bunch of individually control the lighting zones it needs a lot of car parts you know if you want to think that much money into it and I can actually understand attitude and speaking of which no pricing or release information on this yet but hopefully soon I'm really interested in the hood I want to get it in here and try to see if it actually really does you're really anything the hood Luke yeah you know I get that impression for me just all the time ya know I'm super curate your desk super gangster super yeah anyways I was pretty cool it's fun to see a searching more in the monitor segment wow someone just made a big change to the doc thanks Oh what is happening oh just to the table of contents okay so this is very much more you not very much more but the FCC announced this plan to reverse title to net neutrality I know most of what those words mean and that's about it you know what Title V means no okay so here's what's going on so the FCC has tabled a proposal to undo the 2015 rules that implement a net neutrality with a toggle to classification now here's what this means so before 2016 net neutrality was it had been implemented there are rules at the sec a path to say okay here are some things that your ISP cannot do again the big thing for net neutrality advocates was you couldn't have any sort of unreasonable also what I'm looking for there no one reasonable discrimination with network crap okay yeah yeah so so that rule is already in place prior to 2015 in 2015 they decided to the best word a user will be strengthened it I guess that depends your point of view but they decide to strengthen it by by classifying ISPs and Internet services under title 2 of the Communications Act of 1934 and what this means is they'll be regulated as what's called a common carrier and when you do this what ends up happening is the the regulations are a little bit more strict it has to like what they could do it now I you may have caught the fact I said the Communications Act of 1934 it was actually enacted a long time ago and it was originally sorry I just let me do my laptop here that's very distracting there we go okay um it was originally designed to regulate landline telephone carriers all the way baker it amended in 1996 and so now we have we have the legal framework that we have today so can you think because like from a Canadian point of view here this came into our whatever and we shot it down like almost immediately so I don't even know a ton about it but the Americans have gone through this a number of times before have they not this is maybe like this is the third major action I can say yeah because I've talked about done when show so yeah like 2013 yeah exactly what's going on why isn't this permanently blocked out that's one thing that I super don't get okay so then shot down every time is it not what do you mean Oh like you weakening net neutrality as Michelle and every time was that yeah or okay so it's a little bit complicated so back in I believe it was 2010 that maybe they first started to promulgate net neutrality rules the sec so if they first did it under a piece of legislation called called section 706 so section 5 section 706 of the 1996 Communications Act and the SEC said okay there is something in Section 706 that allows us to say here's what your ISDN can't do it can't unreasonably discriminate between different forms of traffic right so in 2015 that's what they decided to bring in title 2 which is theoretically stronger and now do you want the world roll back and kind of go back to the way it was before 2015 okay so the concern here is so there's two sides to this the telecommunications industry is saying even if you want net neutrality you don't want to under title 2 because the way toggle 2 works is the SEC can just kind of sit there and they can pick and choose what things in it are applicable to broadband because not everything is going to be because like I said this is an extremely old law that we have which design for telephone access so they can pick and choose what's going to apply it to broadband um the telecommunications industry for reasons I hope are obvious does not like this because they could at some point they could legally do more onerous things like rate regulation and actually tell Comcast or spectrum or whoever else you must charge this amount for internet service we obviously don't want that the other sizes is saying that well if you go back to regulating under Section 706 it's going to be very weak actually have the text of 706 right here in front of me oh my goodness and it's actually not very much but it says that the Commission with regulatory jurisdiction blabbity blah shall encourage the deployment on a reasonable and timely basis of advanced telecommunications capability to all Americans in a manner consistent with the public interest convenience and necessity price regulation regulatory forbearance measures that promote competition in the local telecommunications market and/or other regulating methods that remove barriers to infrastructure investment okay if you can adjust that for a second it's all kind of vague there's nothing in there that says thou shalt not discriminate against different kinds of traffic okay so the the argument from people who are more concerned about net neutrality is that oh this is very wishy-washy and even that lasted or other regulating methods that remove barriers to infrastructure investment so the head of the FCC who is Pro scrapping the title two things um people are worried that this said people worried about the bit about infrastructure investment because he made a speech a couple days ago about this and he said Oh ever since they did this title 2 thing where they put stricter regulations on ISPs there has been less money spent on infrastructure investment which is a bad thing because you have less you you're investing less in quality services but that's a very easy way for ya them to manipulate that because they know that one of the things that this is looking for there's some be like oh we don't like this law no more investment direct yeah it's an easy thing for them to do and you know there's there's some other there's some other things in his speech I found a little bit eyebrow-raising um one of them was he was saying that oh people keep talking about like you know fast lanes for certain kind of traffic and they're afraid that's happening and he was over here claiming that hasn't happened but it already kind of has I think it was a couple of years ago Netflix was forced to pony up a bunch of money on Comcast because it was a calm cat I don't never like it was one of the major ISPs I think it was Comcast but they end up throttling Netflix's speeds which for something like streaming HD video is super important so that actually kind of has already happened he didn't mention anything to speech about net neutrality which was also a little bit concerning so there's two sides to this but basically the crux of the argument is which law is this going to be is net neutrality going to be accomplished under one is trickier than the other so someone has asked a question shouldn't the FTC be the ones governing net neutrality instead of the FCC so that's a difficult question to answer just for a little bit of background the FTC is the Federal Trade Commission they have usually been the federal agency in the u.s. to regulate things like consumer protection and also privacy so the argument for the people who are on the sort of the chairman of the FCC there on his side that want to scrap these rules and kind of go back to the way things were prior to 2015 they're saying okay the FTC has been in charge of consumer protection and consumer privacy for a very long time why do we want to take to take this out of their hands now and put it into the hands of the FCC which the argument is more ill-equipped to deal with privacy issues and consumer protection issues now whether you buy that or not is a completely separate argument but there's you know the question kind of comes down to what's the interworking of each agency like and I don't think I'm really qualified to speak on that but okay yeah well if you live in the States and you care about your internet follow up with the stuff John said there was a lot in a short time period but it who fired through it I'm cool with it it's it's it's kind of a complicated issue because you're getting down into the weeds of what the text of the wall actually says yeah yeah but yeah that's that's not that's not a thing for me I don't want to tell you what to do I don't use the internet down there so yeah follow it up on your own I think that would be if I was down there and this was happening I would be very interested in I'll be reading up on it because I started to worry about it when it became a thing up here but then I was shot down like immediately okay like I'm better I'm sure like the way you're the framework of how your communications are regulated in Canada is probably very different to what we have in the US so I don't know but yeah that would make sense anyways moving on to a new topic Amazon Alex I'm just going to call it Alex because I don't want to trigger it but there's an a at the end of this so it's Alex with an A yeah Alex with an A Amazon's Alex with an A learns to talk like a human the reason why we're talking like that and not saying the full name by the way is we just don't want to trigger anyone's version of this thing at their home to start searching for stuff and that has happened before so so yeah Alex with an A is going to be better it will be able to do things like whisper take a breath to pause for emphasis adjust the rate pitch and volume of her speech and more she'll even be able to bleep out swear words which is pretty that's kind of interesting especially because she's gonna sound more human mm-hmm be like man what the bleep doesn't sound like something very human-like most people don't believe out their own sentences you know what I mean but I guess maybe if it sounds like a recording of a human then it would be fine I don't know I kind of wish we could I think swear words are actually funnier when they're bullies just start saying bleep instead of a swear word well no like if you watch if you watch any kind of TV show or something that's bleeped out I think it actually adds a little bit of comic effect make them crazy the sharpness of the tone yeah the new tools are being provided to third-party app developers allowing them to control pronunciation imitation timing Anto nation wow I just read that super terribly timing and emotion it's pretty cool I think that's awesome because the more natural these things are paired with hopefully the back end getting a little bit better it's going to be very awesome for voice assisted support my main thing that I'm excited for is locally based voice assisted support where not everything that I say has to go into some permanently logged box somewhere that I don't have access yeah all that Wonder F for fat chance yeah I know yeah I'm just hoping that eventually some tertiary like these things get so good yeah some point it's so easy to do this stuff that some side company just makes one that you can buy I mean that would I think there would be I'll be way more down there would be like I think a big segment of the market that would be interested in something like that yeah so like like a personal Jarvis I had this idea a really long time ago where I wanted to string all these mics throughout my house and have all of them at the same time permanently recording onto this giant notepad that was going to automatically delete chunks above and rewrite now it's going to stuff and I'll have dragons speaking permanently running so that it tried to like dictate everything that was said within my house under this notepad and then I was gonna have another program watching the notepad and making actions based on what was there and then I was like now what would be the ultimate point of something like that my own Jarvis but I know I'm not nearly good enough I see that's what the problem is me yeah it does not last that you kind of lost me there because it to me it almost sound like you just want to transcribe your own speech no no cuz there's another bought watching the dog I like words that might show up so if I said like Jarvis or whatever else it would then pay proper attention to the next few words that come up and then it would like do whatever I needed to do yeah I'm just not I'm not if only you had a massive team of coders handy and like a massive like machine learning apparatus yeah I'm working on getting a massive team of coders ready so far I have not enough but the ones that I have are awesome because we're doing good things boiler boilers been learning front end really yeah it's been great I just I would rather he was able to work on the stuff that he's particularly very good at it's good that he's learning everything hi boiler but yeah I need more support for him I'm working on it Elon Musk at Ted Vancouver was teasing a Tesla electric semi-truck up to four new gigafactory locations as well which is pretty freakin cool I this guy is going to take over the world there was a picture of SpaceX and they had like one of the rocket fuselage if you floss at the rock yeah main body had one of the one of the fuselage of the Rockets they had the giant boring machine and they had like one other thing and it was like what does it even have yeah so awesome anyways Elon Musk on stage at 2017 TED conference in Vancouver today he showed a shadowy image which I will hopefully have I do not have a source for you a smooth continuous trend sign yeah way to go James a smooth continuous design between the windshield and the upper facade so that it would be very I don't know how else to describe that I think it will look very futuristic yeah can you try to find a picture I will think um Elon Musk electric semi musk also said that there were likely before like I just said new Giga factory sites announced this year but none quite yet the company said in its most recent earnings report that it has to finalize locations for up to three new Giga factory sites this year in addition to the existing Nevada location it's just a teaser image but it looks kinda cool but it looks like a semi truck well the headlights are very Tesla like is that absolutely one that was shown on the stream that's what it looks like yeah based on the caption here give me one quick second rip this on screen yeah there you go just need those cool right there can I blow this up a little bit maybe a new tab there we go so it's kind of hard to tell but yeah you can see there's a seam there where the windshield hits the top but it's not like a major difference I don't know you know it looks like a semi-truck I'm excited for it but it are you it looks like it's are you are you planning to get your CDL and become a truck driver Luke yeah yes I'm going to bend a floatplane Club I'm going to ban in lines Media Group I'm just going to drive a truck which is going to be automated in a few years anyways I just I hate having a job I just want to go down a career where it will take my job away you know there's there just to be hanging your job and hating having a job because I think most people the second thing is probably true I don't hate having this job I didn't say particularly I would I would refer to come to work every day because I'm a weird person I'm talking about like I prefer to come to work late every day oh I'm talking about worrying about like living in a box what I mean oh not you know not the you know doing a certain thing minor complications yeah no big deal yeah also there's apparently a UK iron man who demonstrated a flying suit I'm going to have to see this one he's a British inventor apparently he flew it at the TED conference in Vancouver which is pretty sick you can see him right here this is his suit you can see him there as well how far off the ground he get that's what I would like to know uh he doesn't look like he's that far off the ground but it looks like he's got some type of propulsion on his legs kind of like Star Wars rocket boots video that's a short man he's got some on his hands which is actually pretty cool yeah yeah I guess it's more of a proof of concept than anything like I can hover above the ground yeah so this is possible look at me Mom the suit can fly uninterrupted for around ten minutes that's actually pretty good considering how slimline the suit is it doesn't seem that big anima it's it's a decent size but doesn't seem way too big I mean that's not bad considering how long was the Wright brothers first flight how long that lasts for like 15 seconds or something though I mean tennis is looking pretty good next to that there he goes so that's pretty sick whoa bunch of power on there I wonder how hard that is to control he's doing pretty good looks like he is just keeping it steady just using his arms alone like there's no because I was thinking like on this wall this one in other mock-up models like the one right below it you can see the rockets on his feet oh yeah this one it just seems like he has him on his arms and possibly his back oh there we go there's something on his back as well yeah yeah but he doesn't have the feet ones on so I guess there's a few different iterations that's pretty cool though that is pretty cool I won't want to though here's a different one you can move around pretty quick I just like the idea of like super extended jumps like jump assist that's in a few different games or like you gotta jump something and you like blast this thing and it gives you a little bit more distance in height that would be super cool in my opinion you shall think of the possibilities with something like this band glide to work you make a slimline version of this that you can wear that just kind of looks like a normal backpack and maybe the wrist and leg things aren't like way too big but they're like nicely integrated I would be super down tella me too that would be so cool you know like if that something like I ever does hit the market like what the early adopter tax is gonna be on it oh yeah but like like you can flow Casey nice that video comes out he's riding on a boosted board and then there's like a big gap and he just like hops up and floats over it damn all while filming somehow he'll make it work 80 trillion views eight defect billions of uses all of you oh man there you go I thought it was pretty sick there's also okay so you said you had something to say about this please to scan soccer fans faces yes so this is going to be at this year's UEFA Champions League final in in Cardiff in Wales so there's gonna be cameras around the stadium and also with the main train station in Cardiff and so the expected attendance is this says 170,000 I don't think Millennium Stadium and cards can hold 170,000 people I think I think it was process to be 70,000 let me see when if you will this real quick Millennium Stadium cartas let's find out capacity 75,000 okay so I think I think that that was supposed to be a little bit north of 70 K they're gonna compare it against a police database of 500,000 people of n people of interest so if there's if there's a match police will get a heads up that could help them stop a terrorist or frequent hooligan now in requisite here's the thing so in European soccer there are if you get banned from like one Stadium for doing something particularly bad you can get banned from a lot of them and hooliganism isn't is bad there as it used to be but if you ever watch soccer English soccer European soccer you can still see some of the legacies of the hooligan era back in the nineteen eighties like they still have crowd segregation at all the Premier League games so if you watch a Premier League game it's not like in the US or Canada where if you are a fan of the visiting team just get gets it wherever you want to cheer for your team and hope nothing bad happens like that guided through the canopy um yes that was okay uh I was a jerk different story but um but in but in Britain you will see so there will be a specific section in every stadium for visiting supporters and what will often happen is you'll see stewards basically like stadium workers in like really bright dayglo jackets standing all around the perimeter of where the opposing supporters are just to prevent any fights or any sort of other unseemly behavior so oh so so yeah there's there's all these legacies of the hooligan era that you can still see in European soccer so is so obviously when one person does something bad at one place if it's bad enough they'll just say okay you're banned from every soccer venue in Europe for six months a year or five years for life depending on how bad is so I'm guessing this is why they want to do that um so the fine doesn't it sound a little preemptive um yes and no some of the instances over there have been pretty bad I mean if you look at who's playing maybe um it's going to be one of reales rid and athletically Madrid versus one of Juventus in Monaco so it's probably not gonna be a huge rivalry in the final but even so every big Club has a few people that are going to come and they only try to call us trouble just because they can so but there obviously is a concern here it says South Wales police will have to honor the country's usage guidelines only harvesting as much information as they really need and being transparent with the data they collect but there has already been evidence of police forces both in the UK and abroad preserving face recognition data for innocent people so how are they using that data yeah yeah and like like the frequent hooligans thing I get it but if you like if you screw around a bunch and then you like kay I'm going to not be a jerk anymore mmm-hmm are you going to get blamed if something bad happens if a ride happens in your area and you're just trying to flee that area cuz you're like I'm not about that life anymore yeah like are you going to get screwed anyways because you got picked up by a facial scan oh man that's a good question like that I mean cuz a lot of a lot of places do keep known hooligan databases so that is known who that is actual be a thing but as far as way I don't know like that's a good that I guess that would be I guess that would be a little bit of a risk but you know if they all captured on camera maybe that was on a right YouTube so who knows ah yeah I guess we'll see yeah no way to tell for now I don't like it I don't like the pre-emptive stuff I'm trying to think of any of those four clubs have like a large and active hooligan firm but then again you know you also have to worry about individual people just having too much to drink and causing problems too right yeah that's a good call now are you I know you're a Nintendo fan in terms of Mario Kart are you a Nintendo fan for their mobile stuff um what specifically like 3ds 2ds oh yeah I have a 3ds I have a number of games for it so so what do you think about this they have a new 2d excel I'm going to throw the video up here and mute it but essentially it's a 3ds XL without 2d capability as far as I can't really tell for $80 no no no no like a sensor like no 150 US dollars wait where does it say oh oh oh I'm sorry that was for the original 2d yes oh yeah well okay i think the price is a little bit steep for what it is but as far as just you know that aside just looking at the concept i think this is a really really good idea um the 3d on the 3ds I mean it's pretty okay for one but it's not it's not for everybody like my wife has a 3ds as well never uses a 3d feature I use I use it on mine but if it's for if a one day just broke and I can never use it again I wouldn't miss it very much and what do you use it for for everything I try to turn it on when I can because it's a feature which I paid for so I might as well try to use it get some kind of enjoyment okay but it's what if you have the option to buy one or the other and ones like how much is it 3dsxl in this case you know um I think they're a little bit cheaper these three is closer to 200 so I think you're I think you're saving about 40 or 50 dollars with this thing okay yes yeah because in Canada I think these are like about 200 bucks and I think the that original unibody design was what turned a lot of people away from the original 2d yes because it just it wasn't rest portable was very attractive it's a very dirt a bowl system yes I've had a to D s in the past I traded it in got a 3d s echo eventually but very durable system but yet it's not very wheeled Li now I'm going to do a straw poll I'm interested for the Nintendo people out there do you like the 3d option on your 3ds so yes no one then different yes and this was specifically for Nintendo people out there don't press indifferent if you don't own one and you don't care only pressing different if you do own one and you're like yeah I turn it on sometimes but it's not amazing I don't know now we're going to get a bunch of in different spam from the PS Vita throw I don't know yeah yeah absolutely we'll come back to that later cool but yeah it's it's a little bit different it can play 3ds games but without the 3d effect make also play normal DS games the main saying is unlike the 2d s instead of being flat it does fold now which is very good I think it needs to be much cheaper apparently it still packs the same powers the 3ds XL there there they're claiming yes they're claiming that this addition to be handheld market demonstrates their commitment to the handheld market so yep that's cool again it's 150 US dollars it launches in Australia and New Zealand on June 15th and in the US on July 28th is this what's going to just cannibalize part of the market for this thing this is why I'm saying you speech I think okay I think a little bit yeah but this is something I've talked to other people about the switch is kind of delicate yeah and it can't like fold and it's pretty big like you can't just fit it in your pocket and if you get like the case for it so you're actually protecting it properly it's like pretty freaking big it's going to get like a backpack we can't fit three es XL in your pocket a standard I guess yeah what I can in all of my pants and all of my shorts okay get rekt okay but it's a big pocket it's still red Luke has large pockets he he thinks it's very important that you know not full of money they're empty in that regard listen but they can fit a 3's exhale which is pretty cool I think it needs to be closer to a hundred bucks still I really think ya achiever I think like okay can you look up how much a 3dsxl costs sure and us I always gets I think it's 190 I'll look on Amazon I'm going to check on the straw poll real quick you do that three D s exhale no not three s XL 3 D s there we go so 51% of people said no oh goodness 29% of people said indifference and only 20% of people said yes you know what on Amazon you don't like closer to 250 which I don't think is right maybe it's like they're like really expensive and can you know what let me check I'm checking the US but let me check Walmart like I just want to go to Walmart and buy a 3 s XL like how much would that be enter come on to 5th also closer to 250 I could have sworn they were cheaper than that I don't think so man I got mindful of 200 I do remember that probably like a sale or something like Walmart does really aggressive sales on the inherent in the holiday season yeah so so right now the closer to 250 I still think they should be a little bit cheaper because if you're saying the original 2d s is big dropped to 80 bucks you're paying almost twice that so you can get with the fold I think the 2d s didn't sell very well I bet you they're dropping in to 80 bucks to try to kind of get rid of it cuz like I I I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild nah I wasn't like my brothers I think I saw a small child on a 2d s one time somewhere and that was it so they are pretty dang durable though that's the thing like if you got like again a 3ds or a 2d s XL or a normal 2d eff are far more durable than that's which they just are solutely now the switch has Zelda but still anyways sports your spot time oh here we go we have to put our glasses lounge's here we go there we go these are pretty cool these are called spectrum glasses they say staring at a monitor all day can be hard on your eyes over time and make it tougher to fall asleep that's why things are certain like applications that you can put on your desktop that will like change the color of your screen exist yeah and it said reduce the blue light yeah yeah but then those are kind of annoying because if you need to see like the true color of something just being able to do that is pretty cool instead of something I think it's called FLIR no no that's a camera spi block yeah F dot Lux it's it actually like changed the color screen which I'm not personally a fan of now I have not been wearing these a ton lately but they seem comfortable to me but we have someone in office who has been wearing them almost since he got hired and he likes it a lot James oh yeah James has been wearing them if he hears this and wants to come down here and be a model for the glasses that would be fantastic they look good we have a whole bunch of different models I like these ones John utilize one of a gray charcoal they're good oh is it yeah there's another pair that don't look particularly that great on me but they look really good on Dennis they're these Early's I don't think they look for those like the Burberry style ones I believe so yeah yeah yeah and what I actually do like these affair of it because like if you have a smartphone which of course faster if you do if you get like an app that says it reduces blue lights sometimes if that could be too aggressive and everything has like this really those have already went through these the computer screens and things they still look very naturally normal there's obviously a difference but if you put the glasses on it doesn't look like the colors super offer untoward it looks very natural just slightly less blue what one of the big things that James said he's one of the writers here so he spends a lot of time staring at like Word docs and spreadsheets all day so with that much bright light he said that it's helped a lot which is cool that's good they they feel nice they come with a one-year warranty they say their product is extremely durable the low color distortion they block high-energy blue light that's the whole point but they do try to keep tellers as similar as possible that's something we just talked about it doesn't actually seem to change that much which is cool if you're interested go to spectrum glasses comm slash collection slash products the link will be below on youtube and use offer code Linus to save 10% off and this is actually a Vancouver startup so they're local for us yeah and I think it's cool that James has actually been using them it says James has been wearing these non-stop for weeks weeks as and I think above for like I think it's been quite a while and like some a lot apparently he started wearing them so close to his actual start date of working here that people thought that they were just his normal glasses oh yeah so that's why I didn't know who was wearing them because I thought he just wore glasses yeah yeah so those are those are his glasses a little bit there they like actually kind of blend in you would think they were just normal glasses but no they have technology our other sponsor today oh I did that whole thing without doing this there's the link that you guys oh we're going to put the glasses back on if you want these go go fill here go there we go there we are yeah use offer code line at save 10% off again they filter out blue light from your monitor that's like the most aggressive intense light that you can have moving on we have cooler master with their master keys Pro line of keyboards that's not in there don't take it out I have the one with the keyboard in it haha anyways master keys Pro keyboards come in different sizes I have the medium John has the a large oh my they complete the Kula master keyboard portfolio which is cool it can be simple because you just pick your switch color so this one is a blue is that one also a blue that one is also a blue carry glue these were probably picked for me blues my favorite color although it does annoy people on my stream that's fine you like blues - what's your favorite color my favorite color my favorite color switch switch I'm a difficult question I like greens green I'm a green guy I like I like my greens rare uncommon yes the master keys Pro white M&L have LED backlighting which is cool if you're into a more brighter clean white keyboard that could be for you it utilizes the from cortex m3 processor on its on the fly system which is pretty cool it has lighting modes macro recording and a combined with four profile keys which are somewhere they have ease view software they've combined and key and six key rollover together which is cool so it's ideal for both work and play because it's a keyboard so you can WASD on it and you can home row which is cool that's totally up to you check them out at the links below that's cool grass TOCOM slash products lash line flash keyboards yeah cool cool or check out the length of your description on YouTube and there we go I'll take a pic whoa oh no Elena you hit the thing in front of it not it I'm gonna put these back on actually yeah they're pretty good you're pretty good I liked them you know I don't know if they look like great on me but I like let's get this out here Dennis can come out her genital yes Dennis yes dad asked can you hear that I can hang out some cool yeah oh there we go Arius Barry is put these on expand it frankly you have to be our model wait you okay so this my glasses no there's regular glasses yeah let's see do I look different not very you know I think they look good they look so natural I can't I can't you know hahaha I like this actually I actually like you here one second put them back on hold on hold on you okay okay your other glasses on Oh Oh these one a little bit bigger yeah but what do they do they filter up blue light so look at the screen and then put the glasses on see how that works yes yeah yeah yeah so it's also your less harsh on your eyes you can fall asleep easier afterwards all I kinda stuff I'm a ghastly Edward you got where it is way easier to fall sleep I want to put you yeah they're not sleeping pills so just dust it but it'll make it less harsh so you're not forced to kind of stay up anyway it's back to normal content MD puts two GPUs and 32 gigs of RAM on a Radeon Pro duo graphics card so Brandon saw this down at NAB but decided not to Wow this is the ARS technica show apparently we have so many ARS technica news articles today which is cool I like those guys but yeah Brandon saw this down at NAB but they weren't showing really good demo said so it was hard to yeah I actually really liked it yeah yeah wait actually yeah cuz it filters out blue lights yeah but it's still little solid this is the mother longest ads Paul Whiteman yo I'm not even looking at twitch capital up here Michael yeah probably sorry that isn't even I was just interested um yeah the card combines two players GPUs for $1000 and it launches in May this is not targeted as a gaming card no at all they launched it at a like camera and film show they didn't even announce it to us at all like it's it's not a gaming card but it is super cool regardless and you get it what appears to be the Team Rocket logo all the things that's like almost exactly the same I really like the blue I really like position of these power connectors especially with the types of systems that it's probably going to go in yeah and the fact that you might have a bunch of them in a row if you're going to do something like that yeah that's going to make it much easier if you have tight gaps between your between your graphics cards absolutely yeah AMD claims 11.45 teraflops of performance compare 2:16 for the older Radeon Pro but one that is also substantially cheaper cooler and less power-hungry and you get dramatically more RAM 32 gigs that's crazy just think of how much stuff you could hold your frame buffer for a few gigs of RAM you will never be walking for a large green buffer all whole game yeah let me just render this entire game first every possible scenario no that's obviously way too much but still I don't know I think that's pretty cool it's not it's not like it's not for us suffer game which you can overhear Oh every time yeah I even work on my chair positioning you know most people probably actually maybe there could be a ton of h3 fans in the audience have you ever watched the h3 show when he was like oh it's and she's like this is even a love the screen you know she like goes out on her own oh I feel like whoever sits on this side because that normally happens to me and line is annoying me or something every so gently like I don't know I don't know I think it's because you have to end up sitting like way on this out of the table yeah everyone wants a naturally colorful alright we're yeah I'm a today there's something in that yes yeah anyways moving on let's see what else we have the shows technically been over for 13 minutes but I want to look at this one too fallout is bringing post-apocalyptic warfare to your tabletop actually not an ARS technica relation over 50 knows what no like like it's it's an all like twitch page just died I wanted to post the link in the chat come back to it no okay it's fine this is um I need to vote it's full to be about an hour long oh well we still have we still have fifteen minutes then because we started the 4:30 2000 my goodness I was starting at 4:00 for some reason that was weird anyways fallout 4 miniatures game goes on sale this November don't worry about it it's cool at 7 fine apparently it was possibly going to crowdfunding but it is not I'm not entirely sure if that's true it just says it'll skip crowdfunding mm-hm I don't know anyways some of the miniatures are detailed down here which look pretty cool oh you guys can't see anything so you like painted yourself finishers again yeah so people other than me might be good at it which would be pretty cool if I got into a miniatures game I would definitely have to fund someone else to paint my miniatures or I'd just be all grey all the time one of the two what if you like a 3d action skin ways like 3d print is like a color scheme directly on to it would I even work if you got like you got some filament that took a little bit longer to try and you could just like sort of so paint with PLAs melted plastic if you could get get a nozzle or like a thing that had like fine enough control or something I don't know but then I'm doing art it's still me doing art what bad but at least you will have to worry about like holding your hands super steady you know yeah I would still really really really suck at it but there's some of the monster enemies which are pretty cool I'm just like and blows up oh it's all transparent stuff good job polygons it looks it looks neat it looks cool I'd be interested to see someone actually play it because I'm not a huge miniatures person myself I'm really into these Star Wars edge of the Empire role-playing game that's super fun and I'm really into like other tabletop games but I've never gotten into a miniatures game we had Tyler on the show to talk about this yeah the main reason why I haven't is because the the cost scares the everliving crap oh yeah this things are so expensive my goodness we started playing what is the name of that football game we stole a little blood bowl we started playing Blood Bowl we still haven't done the finals it's Anthony versus me for the finals we just haven't done it and the trophy looks like a Lombardi Trophy except the football has spikes on it it is golda so yeah let's see here more topics Microsoft is completing their Windows Phone wind down by June ok this is just this isn't even a tech topic it's just hilarious a Russian spy ship was sunk by a sheep barge so I don't I don't know I don't even really the circumstances just seems so random because it was a togolese ship it was a ship with the Togo flag carrying sheet between Jordan and Romania yeah it's the most random thing and and a Russian ship hit it and the Russian ship sunk yeah despite a Russian spy ship so the Russian ship was built in 1970 and was converted into an intelligence collection vessel in 1989 that's it right there I guess yep oh there's the barge so that's a pretty big okay it was the win when you're reading the description for it the barge sounds like a raft it does it sounds like that my name is ginormous ounds like a pile of wood they just post machine yeah yeah hold you'll float yeah okay that's a pretty intense that's not like some random raft with it no it's not this is like a shepherd this is like inertia in action like yeah yeah so just got super wrecked that's far less interesting than I thought it was anyway moving off oh my good okay oh we do have other topic we do have other topics um the Windows Phone wind-down AMD AMD this topic was posted by Z Mule on the forum we're gonna jump over on the forum real quick make sure I'm not logged in that's good AMD making money from ad revenue from installing drivers so apparently when you install one of their new drivers yeah so Terry Mac Adan hopefully I'm saying that right says that some of you didn't like game icons installed so we updated the Radeon software package without one we heard you sorry so without having an option for it it just linked game icons onto your desktop which were shortcuts with monetized tagged links to go get the game I guess and I don't think of a demographic that has less tolerance for bloatware than people who were really into PC gaming I'm amazed that like yeah yeah it was even a bitly tracking link so they weren't even like trying to hide that it was happening it wasn't a direct link to the official page like I said it was a bitly dragging like it had a referral ID included in the final URL destination ah first first they draw the capsaicin molecule the wrong way now this okay do you want to explain that a little bit oh okay you put me on the spot for it so I believe in you so the capsaicin thing it was like what they were calling some of their events surrounding their new Radeon stuff right up because capsaicin capsaicin is the chemical that makes hot peppers hot and hot peppers what color do you think of red like AMD Radeon so capsaicin but so they had like a whole branding package up for this keep little logo up actually I could just uh yes you need a second greatly just type capsaicin and cream and you'll find it um Luke is going to pull up the logo of this thing here so image search would probably help you there you go I'm working okay there we go okay so going to pull it up very good so that's them that is purportedly the molecular structure of capsaicin except there's a huge problem here um that would have to draw with your mouth here yes this ring over here this ring this sort of six corner detects agon here so the thing about capsaicin is this ring is actually aromatic which means you have you should have a double bond here a double bond here and a double bond here and there I have a real double bonds what would be out what's actually happening is the electrons or was going whe like that like all around these six because these are all carbon atoms each each corner is a carbon atom right so they neglected to put in the double bonds or the aromaticity in this and so the molecule is actually not capsaicin it's something completely different I don't know what is but it's not capsaicin it's not the same stuff that actually makes your hot peppers hot and they went to the trouble of saying oh we're going to use this organic chemistry model in our branding so if you do that you should really do it correctly I mean this is a field where like if you know anything about like pharmaceuticals for example where if you have one molecule if you take it and you make it a mirror image a change as small as that can completely change what it does inside your body so this is not correct and it bothers I so first this and now they're putting bloatware in with with their drivers just what next damned II don't what next just open your ice-cream machines off past two am i modern chemistry in college that's why I know yeah just do just to explain yeah okay probably last because we're just running out of add topics to be completely honest add topics show topics there is a 3d printer with tank treads which is just Twitter on low well here in a second add topics I was thinking about the AMD ad tank okay I'm just going to post this in twitch chat what didn't you mine or anything all access to it chat well I'm modern in chemistry and political science so everything that aren't those two things oh there we go okay what's happening mi t--'s mobile 3d printer built the largest structure to date so you can kind of see it there here we go there's a video which I will mute so it's spraying out like a lot of stuff at a time and it's sort of foaming up a little bit looks like cool hwhip cool quiz so that is a 3d printer that is driving around in order to lay it I guess I don't know if you can call it film it to lay its stuff I don't know what it starts as excretions yeah there you go look at it go looks like a big pot like a pot that is super cool is cool I feel like the military would be super stoked with something like this oh like if you could like quickly have some sort of like shelter or four yeah yeah like ideal definitely seriously doubt whatever it just printed is like a defensible structure but if you could just throw up something that people could shelter in yeah exactly you know this could be useful like or for like I don't know disaster relief or something you can eat a bunch of temporary shelter yeah yeah I don't know I don't know um it'll think that it's pretty sick it looks like a very it's like Universal constructor from Deus Ex except much more rudimentary but still very very cool because we don't live in a fictional universe but a Mikey that is a wild I want to see that gif again of it whoop ok here we go so it was Caltech on that is a lightly better one just to one that they Mikey feel like that might happen MIT or Caltech go I have to choose one yep um no basis for comparison though I used to live in Boston and I kind of wanted to go to MIT when I was a kid so I might be I guess there you go your host done there you go a clear and definitive decision MIT is better in the Caltech I didn't say that if you're watching this from Caltech I did not say that apparently antivirus software from Webroot nukes the customers machine I need to dive into this a little bit more going to post this in the chat what is that picture it is an eye filled I come home that's melted a little bit cool good good again it's the the Ars Technica show so we keep going with Ars Technica news what's the scoop okay get it understand where the ice cream cone thing came in okay on this false positive issue that has crippled a quarter of my customers Wow brutal it's pretty bad apparently Webroot just wrecked some stuff I haven't used any either solver in a very very long time yeah what are you defender um yeah just whatever comes with Windows because I'm careful about like my browsing habits so so many people these days just on defender they're like defender and then every once in a while download the free trial sweep of malwarebytes yeah that's like like like sometimes you might need something specialized to get things off if you already have a problem but like you know it's reformat every once in a while use defender and be careful about where else apparently Webroot was flagging Facebook as a phishing site nice that's possibly accurate what is a phishing site soaring a signature update that it had just nuked hundreds of benign files that were needed to run Microsoft Windows as well as apps that run on top of the operating system the and it flagged Facebook as a phishing site where's the perfect does elite system32 meet yeah like that would be appropriate right here you know what the most secure computer is one that can't run yeah I was just want to build doesn't funko both secure computer and abacus yeah I think Colton doesn't know what that is I think I know do you know Navitus if you're the geoguessr video I said overclocking abacus and Colton was like what's that it's a little thing that you have beads are for the beads around for its no no no doc crap you said strawpoll after I storm explanation this is not my fault do you know or did did you know what and how because to watch one I know what a JPEG is 1b yes tisk tisk okay let's see this is gonna be the last thing on the show I want to see how old I am that's what this poll is all about modern kids not know what a vac I are maybe no maybe okay a Bacchae well it sounds like Latin and applause Wes is I yeah so I'm I could be just completely making it up but you know what let's love searchable school wood oh thank goodness I'm not - okay that is the thing we all know the abacus plural Abuk i or advocacy's whichever you'd like abacuses I think advocate on sex advertiser having those abaca there any to crunch some numbers that sounds like a really cool name of a protagonist addict I advocate it sounds almost biblical like addict I in the quest for truth someone make that video game yeah let's make that I don't think that happened or like band name like if you're like an experiment like experimental rock oh nothing I okay yes someone I want to look at that this is a thing I spelled it wrong we wait with that actually bit it would be it Abba ABBA cot yeah avocado have a kind NetSuite consulting okay search like a becau ban sees me a band called addict I already want just be a nerd band I hope their experimental rock no okay make a band call it a back I and play external rock when show whatever sent that's all we need thanks for watch control this week guys we didn't have a ton of crazy news topics a lot of what was happening in the tech world this week was that NAB with all the cameras and cool software stuff and things that happen at a photo video and movie show so it gets all of raining on Twitter follow branded on Twitter Wow I don't know his exact handle I think is Brandon Reilly underscore why underscore League yeah okay so Brenda my Twitter I'm sure he collecting stuff in the show also I believe we've uploaded some videos recently well that's kind of the whole point of this company so yes yeah I think we've done that also because I forgot to promote my own system check out floatplane Club you can go to the forum if you go to the forum and look at the buttons on the top of the forum which I will actually just show you I don't know why I didn't already do that you can go to if you're signed in there's a floatplane Club button and if you have a floatplane Club right under here where it says forum information right in this little area right before computer hardware there's a section called flow playing club and you can see all of our non time-sensitive videos one week early and that includes tech cookie we've got some great stuff for you just today we posted a video floatplane featuring this guy in what I think is one of the funniest sketches that we've done on tech wiki basically ever so it was fun to do we haven't done a ton of sketches on tech quickie yeah but so it was kind of cool to like intro video that way and stuff yeah it's a piece on the inherent nihilism of modern life yes but with tech so yeah which is pretty cool yeah so if you want to check that out and tons of other really cool lino types of stuff like if you want to be a little pre-emptive about it because it's not on there yet and I do not have a date for you at all if you want to be able to see scrapyard Wars before everybody else you can get on a flow playing club and see it there again I do not have a date it is not on there yet as well is trying to edit it right now yeah like as we speak I don't know when it's coming out yeah not a clue I don't know either it's not even I'm not even just not telling you guys I have no clue I don't think our CEO even knows no I'm out we're all purposefully not asking him mm-hmm I've just been asking him how it's going not when it's coming out yeah I don't I don't want to notice how vague that is how it going how's it going we leave are you we give as one out yeah how are how are you how are you the viewer how are you how are you Luke I'm good we're gonna in the show okay same time next week hopefully well we're on time this week and Lannister exact next week so maybe a half an hour later that article more spectra those cool glasses that we've wore during the show and like oh girl a good master master key those keyboards that we showed during the show and like you can type on them and then stuff will go to your computer how about that Cirque lipstick bro so keyboard bro sick board bro what am I supposed to say sick keys bro the keys bro Sukie cows bro okay nice cable brother okay
