okay here we go we are live this is between two ferns the Linus tech tips addition I have laser James with me here today and we're gonna talk about a whole bunch of different privacy news including the whole Facebook thing with Mark the suck Zuckerberg am dean a vgpu being potentially amazing or not nothing do with privacy no and other non privacy news yes there could be a new successor to the chromecast and competitor to Amazon fire stick I'm actually stoked on this hold up okay and and mostly other privacy stuff but also the FTC says warranty void stickers like warranty void if remove stickers RBS which is awesome that makes me really happy but stay tuned to see that and more on the LAN show that is actually going to have an intro today we're doing the intro oh no it wasn't ready Colton Oh spoiler alert so package so the answer that question was no and we're dead be quiet which you already saw I think synergy - and wear space awesome works next time and go like that there we go welcome to Rancho you might be able to tell we've had a little bit of change of scenery we're actually in pretty close to the same area but I can't tell you why things have obviously changed or for how long or if they'll go back or when they'll go back or any of that detail so speculate as you will that's I think that's so big buddy let's go I've been good you've been away I haven't seen you in like I have been we'll see way I was like I'm gonna be an office way more from now on I made it in one day this week it was great you were in the city like in the country all week yeah you've been back from packs like that whole time yeah like what happened tell us about it no I I got back on Sunday pax was good I did there was really not a lot of hardware stuff there we used to so like back when I first started working here I asked lion as my first time off request ever was to go to pax okay and I was like just assume that I'm gonna ask for this time off for the rest of my career working with you and then immediately the next year he was like mm you're gonna work it just at PAX and I was like Kay well that sounds like a pretty okay compromise so I started making videos at PAX about computer hardware now in retrospect good compromise it was it was it was interesting it was a fun thing to do I really like pack so I've been to like 15 of them so working some of those was probably okay but there used to be an abundance of new interesting stuff at PAX it's usually peripherals we get a lot of keyboards we get a lot of mice get a lot of headsets that kind of stuff but we sometimes get cases and a few other things there's there was never like a graphics card or something but there was always a lot of technology videos to make sure that slowly started dwindling over the years the amount of potential technology videos at PAX slowly started reducing constantly over time but here's my question yes so do you prefer to go as Luke or as Luke from Linus media group I I can't not go as Luke reminds me now yeah I guess but like on your third or fourth time there when maybe people didn't know you were Luke from Lyons Media Group okay so you're working there but you weren't like super famous so the that would be yeah there was like one year cap and that that was pretty good it was funny because my dad always does this so okay a little bit of backstory when I go to pax I just born it for facts I was conceived at the Corsair boots like that's been to a million ease yeah I know so my dad brought me packs as a like as a birthday present and he brought myself my best friend and so we went from when I was like really young and the first year that any amount of people knew me at all which was a very very small amount of people because I think I had been in one way and show that's it all the time I went to this pax that year my dad would like look around for anyone that stared at me for too long and then would go like get them [Laughter] so yeah that was pretty cool but ya know it's I still I really like meeting people I think the reason why I would have probably preferred the old one was because I'd like to pax more back in the day mmm but that's not actually be that doesn't have anything to do yeah well that was my question ultimately was now that there's fewer videos to make do you get to enjoy the show more and it's kind of like the best of all worlds I would have if there was more stuff to check out so overall it's just it's much bigger now and when you become much bigger in terms of those types of shows that usually become a little bit more corporate a little bit more stale there's more rules now like back in the day a booth would have like a giveaway and everyone would swarm it and they'd like throw stuff out and it was crazy not you're not allowed throwing things probably someone got hurt which has to ruin the fun and everything and like I don't know it just it became bigger became more corporate it's not as like nice and nerdy anymore it's still really cool it's a great event I love going I hope LTX never suffers from that remember how much stuff we threw last year we exactly what's got murked serious it was serious like looking at the size of your eyes biting your finger like like that was actually too bad that was too far yeah the case to us yeah we are in closing at this time that's and that's what I was actually going to say not to promote LTX too much I don't even think we're supposed to on this show but I'm doing it anyways oh no it was amazing the first year we had it was so much fun and I think there was some definite problems like the mainstage was kind of under produced and there was a couple other this sounds a big issue than music yeah issued Linus wore two canned that really bothered me that's like the main stage is an issue the sound is big issue Linus wore clothing that I didn't appreciate well I mostly saw him when he was on stage and every time he came out and he had a toque on I was like who's this like a opening hip-hop act like who's this guy and then it was Linus I was like what a toque isn't part of your like he's like never worn that's not part of your uniform yeah here yeah I hear ya yeah I don't know I'm really excited for the next one it's gonna be bigger we're gonna have more booths where to I'm not gonna let up the enclosed chaos is getting sweet because you can do bank shots and try to down below more like getting some kind of angle that's not gonna be my strategy okay you know you're gonna try to go for side wall or the roof I don't know high for like roof side wall ground you don't even have to I guess it's a distance challenge not a damaging challenge because if it was just trying to break the case you could just go completely laterally right yes I'm sure there'll be some kind of troll shots like that yeah probably anyways we should probably talk about actual news I think we already introduced a bunch of topics but we can start with probably the most yea expected topic of the week is that we learned this week that Zuckerberg drinks water like this he's been working on this it's actually pretty good at this point yeah yeah then you gotta be the smile meter thing so gradually tiny it's so good okay so I'm gonna let me hold on I gotta be Linus here for a second which I'm not used to there we go facebook users aren't changing their privacy settings despite uproar so this has been a pretty interesting wait a second who posted out in the forum shorty 88 jr. good jobs or always forget we do thank you very much I appreciate it yeah so people aren't really leaving people aren't into privacy settings apparently people aren't even changing what type of things they share with the platform so there's this like giant uproar well actually I think it kind of speaks to the whole issue because if you watch any of the Congress I don't even know what you call that the inspection of a lot of it was like he keeps defaulting to be like okay we do tell them everything our terms of services all here nobody reads it it's gone we know that nobody reads it so we also have these these little um dialog boxes that are the top near newsfeed that tell you like hey in plain English you can share this with the world or not they do all these things to make it transparent what they're doing it's just no one cares though no one cares I like by and large no one cares so I think a surprisingly low amount of people actually care about the privacy there is like and I bet you a a abnormally high percentage of the audience here and I think an abnormally high percentage of tech people in general because I think those people actually understand better what's happening when they're putting their privacy out there I I think the average person sees it as like Oh some mega corporation knows that I like Fung sandals yeah I got nothing to hide maybe they'll sell me a few thong sandals and they don't understand that like it's going further than that and your data is being picked apart further than that and Facebook is selling it to people that you don't necessarily know they don't sell the data well it gets given away in dead yeah well it still does yeah it really did for ya I don't know and like the fact that a myriad of platforms get hacked every single year and people's data gets pulled out of that not saying that happened to Facebook but it happens to human people you can check out I think's have I been poned calm yeah yeah that's not specifically Facebook data no I'm saying I'm talking about privacy in general yeah yeah I actually said specifically I don't think it's happened to Facebook like at all correct but there has been huge companies that have had leaks like that and and those leaks could could make your facebook vulnerable if you're using the same password across lots of sites so what normally happens is like LinkedIn got hacked so the dark webs has your your password for LinkedIn that gets bought by someone else who takes that password and tries it and a bunch of other sites like your email your bank Facebook and if you're the type of person has the same pass for everything you might be compromised on lots of sites that never actually got hacked themselves yeah it's it's and like what I was more getting to is just the idea that people don't understand how their data can spread and like not just on Facebook I mean in terms of using the Internet as a whole non tech people don't necessarily understand how like putting their data in some place or putting their credit card information in some place can result in it getting to other places but it kind of leads into the regulation discussion here because there's yes a lot of talk about regulating Facebook and there's kind of three different ways that that could go the first is what Facebook would probably like which is just to self-regulate and that seems more and more like everybody wants it seems more and more that it's like maybe less likely to me anyway because what happen yeah okay yeah yeah yeah because there's this awesome article it's been written by Zeynep what's her last name she's that security researcher I'm really bad with especially last names so she's awesome she wrote this kind of article that blew up about like 14 years of Facebook's apology tour Oh in the beginning they've been like a lot of people gave props to Zuckerberg for kind of taking ownership of what has happened at Facebook and apologizing for it not like deflecting or saying mistakes were made but the same time he's been doing that for like a decade and a half so at some point it's like stop stop letting him screw up so much yeah so option one Facebook self-regulates option two they regulate the entire industry that would be really stifling to innovation yeah really if you've ever worked at a company that was undergoing some kind of like you know we're gonna implement compliance for a HIPAA which is like a health healthcare security doing that stuff is intense and drains company resources more than you could ever imagine less you've actually gone through it yourself it's crazy and there's a time one ton like that so if there was something like that for the social media industry you can basically guarantee yourself that there will be no new upstarts like that's hard enough to make a new social network it's hard enough given that network effects are such an important part of it like you need to have a bunch of users before it's useful to people if you're gonna have this other layer of compliance you're basically solidifying Facebook's position and all incumbents positions so that's yeah I I don't I don't think you're guaranteeing that there will be no challenges but I haven't seen even without this I haven't seen very many successful challenges to Facebook at all any ways Google+ completely failed and anyone that really tries just gets bought and consumed anyways so it was funny when that one senator was like who's your biggest competitor it's like you don't understand network economies because but by virtue of way they the way they work there are no competitors like it's a win-win or take all such a situation we're like everyone's on this platform therefore everyone's using this platform you can't split them there could never be half people here in half there yeah with completely overlapping functions it doesn't work that way option three for regulation would be if Facebook itself just has a like dedicated third party or agency that only regulates Facebook like some kind of steward of the data to me that's like the most likely situation but this one to enshrines Facebook's current market position because if it's the case that Facebook has so much data about you and they regulate such that that data can never leave Facebook then no one else has no upstarts have access to that data in the way that the developers on the Facebook platform did in the past and that's how Cambridge analytic I came to get the big data that leaked anyway so if no one has access to that then they're just sitting on this gold mine of data that no one can compete with so you're kind of in a pickle on the either way so I'm gonna make a straw poll here which is how should Facebook we be regulated or not you need four bro yeah itself expands oh dude itself regulates wait oh I think I have to fill this one out maybe and then hit enter not regulated self regulated third there we go nice and weird like that but like dedicated like they only regulate Facebook can't type on this keyboard for some reason probably it's way over there it's just a really weird one you know like it's this QWERTY layout used to Dvorak I know I can't believe it's been around since the 1870s but whatever okay so we have not regulated self regulated third-party regulations specifically for Facebook and government-wide spanning right they're gonna put a troll on cirno donkey balls donkey come on last week it was donkey balls we've been regulated self-regulate okay so check that straw poll out hit us with the feedback I want to see what you guys think I kind of have my own opinion but do you have a while we wait for that let's fantasize about some kind of future epic social network startup that's all blockchain based where every individuals data is completely owned by them is on a blockchain so that the entire Internet is modular so that you can switch from one social network to another and bring your data with you and release to each social network exactly what you want that would be the most beneficial to new and because you could start up your own social network and people could come to it and be like here's all the data and here's all the connections here's all the people I know and something you'd have like this really thick market and strong network effects right away someone said it's called steam it wow I don't like that platform but I is that how that actually works I know that platform is blockchain based but is it like what you're describing I don't think so I have no idea but what I have heard is that all the current social like blockchain based social media projects are junk yeah I heard it on a podcast I don't actually know I haven't tried it myself Pied Piper I wouldn't put steam in my title sounds like steaming pile you know it's like it's like ste MIT or something like that I don't remember exactly how it works I'm gonna check in on this straw poll actually let's see okay not a meaningful split at all really donkey please okay that plays into what we were saying earlier where it's like honestly most people don't really care and even in Arad they just don't know well that's fair it's a pretty should've had a like I don't know and then I don't care that should have been that's donkey I guess but two together but yeah that's the problem is that they're both together so right now all right I'm not on the screen right now we're looking at 25% for third-party regulation specifically for Facebook I'm kind of surprised by that do tell I'm just kind of surprised by that because in that situation you're putting a weight on Facebook which I don't think anyone's gonna care about but you're putting a weight on Facebook so that opens the door to more other platforms but then those other platforms are probably have the same problem and then do you at that point once they're big yeah hit the regulation specifically for Facebook and then push it on them mmm or like so do you just let people run rampant with other people's data at the beginning and then go like you shouldn't have done that but we didn't tell you not to so it's okay but now you have to stop yeah it kind of sounds like you need to have a hybrid approach where there are certain ground rules for everybody to begin with Oh already is existing laws but also how to consider users choices right not like because this is happening let's just there's a societal shift where people are prioritizing and caring more about this kind of thing right so if a new upstart comes knocking on your door asking you to become a user you're more likely to ask for like well what kind of data like what are you guys doing what do you want for me yeah so in that climate then like maybe a light touch regulation is enough I don't know and then people the the next highest category that wasn't donkey was government-wide spanning regulation which I'm not super surprised was up they're not regulated I'm honestly pretty surprised that that even got 13% but then I guess there are well those are the people who know how to set the permissions of the way they have yeah it's going fine just read the TOS yeah people who are gonna actually like manage it properly themselves which unfortunately isn't everybody which is I guess the problem I have with it cuz like my mom is not gonna understand what to do my mom she's just mean she's probably watching but like I'm not saying that they're not even yeah yeah like it's it's my mom's actually surprisingly good with some things but she can also somehow manage to send emails with her text messaging program without any of us being able to figure out how for like months at a time like it's it's there's there's people that have a special touch with technology and there's people that when they use it it falls apart magically and like as far as I can tell it has nothing to do with being her fault but anyways I love my own touch but like I don't know there's people that are super in the know in a platform and there's the people that aren't and it varies I took my socks off right before the show but now I want them back on why my feet got cold oh my goodness you having cold feet yeah that this regulation platform idea yeah change my mind if we could get like four more people to vote for donkey that would be great because then it would be in first place and then we can just be done with this straw poll but I think we're probably done with this topic in general meanwhile AMD Nobby GPUs yeah rumour mealtime let's uh let's get away from don't come through this way go away please thank you let's jump down to AMD Navi Navi is the next generation of architecture from AMD GPUs and it is a seven nanometer architecture and the rumor of these days is that it's not gonna it's not gonna be the source of the next wave of enthusiasts cards it's not gonna be the next Vega in fact it's gonna be a what they call the mainstream lineup which were mainstreamed here which right now is the rx5 80s those guys also thank you ryujin 2013 on the forums yeah so what they're saying is that when these cards launch in 2019 they're gonna have a comparable performance to a GTX 1080 which came out in the end of May basically June 2016 but it'll cost about 250 bucks which is nice Wow right now is more than that MSRP 250 bucks who knows what it'll actually cost fair mining stuff is going down a lot because Bitcoin super down right now well it's going up in the last day or two Oh has it yes no no yes it's back baby again man that man oh dear dad Anna and then with new cards that are high-performance for lower dollar value it might become more profitable about blah blah blah blah blah so we'll see but yeah MSRP has not been a realistic thing for actually quite a long time especially on the AMD side we've seen accidental artificial whatever spawned from Bitcoin inflation whatever you want on GPUs for quite a long time even well before it was identified as being a Bitcoin mining problem we had inflation in JavaScript prices all the way from back to the launch of these cards which was well before mining Bitcoin was like super trendy there's lots of reasons not at GTX yes yeah I thought when I first read that and I I read that they were aiming na'vi at at this particular market segment i thought are they doing that like to satisfy shareholders is it just more cost effective and they're gonna it's a bigger addressable market because stop it max you're doing that thing you said you're gonna do get out of here all right there's just more people who have the money to buy a cheaper but like still good like well $250 is a really nice price one for a graphics card around 300 bucks is fairly reasonable for a quite a large amount of people for a graphics card yeah 250 bucks is pretty good still if you can like pcs aren't gonna get here realistically but if like at least not in the short term but 300 bucks in like 2013 was like the golden I remember there was articles about it all over the place we're like $300 for a relatively high ticket item was really good for consumers because a lot of people could gather that much money in a reasonable amount of saving time to listen this should be comparatively cheaper than because with inflation and everything with inflation and it's $250 yeah but it isn't the full component for a computer but it's a nice upgrade so it's a sound business it's a good price if they're just doing this strategically that would make sense but then I learned that actually history is repeating itself here because this is a new what they call manufacturing node this is a seven nanometer part the lithography that is they can't get the yields on all their wafers at a at a rate or a quantity that makes a lot of sense uh economically for them so that was really convoluted let me just say what I actually have written down from a manufacturing point of view it is not feasible to produce a large GPU like a 1080 like a big one or Vega on a brand new cutting edge process like seven nanometer early in the nodes lifecycle because it's just a new technology and they haven't ironed out all the manufacturing kinks yet so once they do it's conceivable in the future maybe in 2021 that they could use the seven nanometer of the fog rafi to make bigger cards yeah make sense some more you know hooray it's it's I don't know this is good for a lot of reasons AMD needs to keep doing well they're doing quite well right now one interesting observation that I had at PAX we're talking about pax earlier on of the show Intel did not have a there that was weird and tell us how to boo that packs like every packs as far as I know for the last five or six years and video wasn't there that's not super surprising they used to be at every pax then they started dwindling off but okay no Intel no Nvidia hey soos booth was much smaller than normal AMD had a fairly big booth that was popping the whole thing it was full there was queues they had they had VR setups but there was VR setups multiple other places on the show that didn't have a line but the line at AMD was full all the time it was an interesting experience to see that the community has kind of opened up to AMD as a whole if you look back into like 2014 they were actually very much so underdog that like the underground people were like yeah I'm gonna buy one of these even though like you know maybe doesn't make a ton of sense I'm gonna get it anymore my money is just a donation name yeah basically hey but now it's actually a lot more logical to go for their stuff which is really cool and it's it's really cool to see them coming back it was a pretty awesome moment to see their booth packed at PAX yeah because even at PAX West which was I guess in the very beginning of September 2017 the AMD booth was not that bad so you're saying now that this hasn't even been that long now that there's no competition that their booth is popping well it helped I guess and like they did a much better job with their booth which in a way kind of sort of not really but kind of indirectly maybe there's a lot of caveats there I'm water not like Zuckerberg the other work continued oh he's got he's got sorry I'll ignore it I'll know it it kind of shows success in the company they have the money to flaunt at an event spending way too much money on a ridiculously small ROI of having a booth as a shareholder that angers me yeah yeah that makes sense it's if you look at the ROI of a booth you're actually not showing to that many people and it costs a ludicrous amount of money you're probably getting up giving a whole bunch of product away you're probably gonna have to pay a bunch of staff like it's a really expensive thing to do but it's it's to cater to your super fans and the ROI is hard to describe but it reaches and the branding that it is branding huge in this space and you're you're making yourself a constant part of the conversation and you're trying to spread that ROI beyond at just that event that's kind of the idea so I don't know it was really interesting to see that I'm very happy about AMD's fairly recent success and I hope they keep going and I hope this is part of it because if you can get 1080 performance off a $240 card that breaches people into a way higher level of gaming yeah but this is three years after the fact though like a year from now you're gonna have a 1080 yeah which is like and we'll have to see like if mining does crash super hard and people start selling mining cards for dirt cheap then it might not matter because you might be able to get ten eighties for around that price anyways it just might be kind of sketchy but the most tired yeah or you might get you turn your computer off it just falls apart it's like I've been running for so long the dust was holding me together or we might get 1080p eyes for that price or whatever else right who knows but if mining does stay up there and the price of this does inflate that might still even be helpful who knows she's just trolling you man you trolling me there's a door that's open here for the people who don't know yeah max is loitering we like having contact because if I go to close the door oh I can't there's a sandbag in the way and if I go to close the door it will it will block the camp well not entirely actually you just have to look through like a fire rated window I would like to end the show that way actually closing the door yeah I'll crawl under there remove the sandbag go bye-bye okay okay I'm down all right wait till the end the show that's gonna be a nice trick it's gonna happen yeah so anyways there is a weird a bunch of documentation showed up this is the next topic okay I'm sure documentation showed up at a random I mean to to our ears rise anyway people who aren't in the know of these things a random seeming manufacturer in China has the documentation that describes like specs out this new mysterious Google branded dongle which is like a 4k Android TV dongle as you can see yeah and some people might think this is boring because they're like yeah okay it's it's a Roku or it's an Amazon yeah I was wondering why you care so I'll tell you why I care so much I have a chromecast at home okay and I also have a Google home okay those things work together they're attached to my TV which is a smart TV the Smart TV has a remote and I use that remote and that Smart TV to use apps like YouTube a lot the problem is that Google home and casting by voice is incompatible with my remote when I cast if I'm like google play the latest Linus tech tips video on the TV and it plays it I can't then grab my remote and hit next video and start scrolling around and stuff like that because my Smart TVs YouTube app is a different app than the app that gets used when I cast things by voice I basically have to YouTube the APIs on my TV with this you're gonna be able to do that just like when you have a amazon firetv stick they actually the microphone them excuse me the remote is a microphone you can talk into it this remote is the same deal it has a dedicated Google assistant button on it so this is the remote he's talking about by the way and presumably I'm gonna be able to say goog star play this video on I don't want too hot word people I know I was gonna say you guys got to appreciate that he didn't include the first word yes when he's paying attention play the latest video I'll be able to watch that video and then I'll be able to just use my remote and then back and forth and that is gonna be that's huge for me i hey good we'll play the hipster song with the whistling I had to I'm sorry continue you don't want to leave those Alexa play the hipster song with the whistling people out it's not gonna work though because I think that's a fairly specific keyword for Google Play know that that I'm sorry key phrase the hipster song with the whistling because they put that in an ad and I tried a whole bunch of other descriptions for songs that I thought were pretty good it didn't work at all do you try the one the Russian guy that goes by work yes we've done even on land show before oh that's oh yeah yeah it's awesome okay sweet that's cool I'm surprised that works actually it's a great song you know the song talk yes it's called like 7,000 by Vitas yeah out I think that's bait that was my tooth that's what I want so people in Chad are saying that it's like basically a shield TV but in a small compact dongle but I think it does a little bit and plus the price point those things are a box oh yeah so this is probably gonna be way cheaper the shield will also be able to like cast games to your TV which is like you're in a little bit different of a range there the shield also has a voice controllable remote easiest way to think about it is gonna be there are already android TV boxes it's just gonna be that with a google assistant integration and voice remote people in chat I'm guessing that the price point would be like 120 130 boxes out how much a fire TV stick is let me search the american internets yeah where these things exist oh my well you do that fire truck no they know from last tech tips what did you guys think about the fire pole video good god it's $30 fire TV stick with Alexa Boyce remote 30 bucks that's really cheap even the 4k one is only fifty a 4k chromecast is like 70 US isn't it I don't know holy Google some more yeah do it do it you can get a chromecast on Amazon I can't you wasn't that the whole thing that they argued about before can you do it now though because I know they're arguing about it but I don't know if it's like already an option oh that got pretty settled in auto-filled oh yeah I see a shield they selling it NVIDIA shields for $200 gamepad though yeah because you can play android games on it some of them I guess yeah I'm totally gonna sell my chromecast and get one of these dollars if it comes out they're probably gonna announce it at IO IO is in a month it's in May Google IO it's gonna be sweet oh you work on this heck yeah yeah okay I thought so so while you're looking that up I'm gonna do a little float plane moment 70 bucks says I have 270 okay okay so it is a little bit more expensive flow plate has awesome stuff on it Kyle from bit wit currently has cool cooler is cool what happens if we if we remove the fans it's a be quiet cooler that should be a pretty interesting video also he has a 32 by 9 gaming setup that he wants to show off in a different video - tech tips has a wearable cows cows I've merged keyboard and mouse it is a cow's like that was by accident but I'm kind of down with it it's so can you tell me a tiny amount but what this thing actually is so it's these rings that you were on your fingers yeah if you lay your hand on a table okay it's a mouse oh you don't and you just put your wrist on the edge of the table and you tap on a table it's a keyboard and it can no based on like if you stretch your finger or whatever it's not spatial it's not like ease over here and peace over here okay you actually have to learn a bunch of gestures like it's like that's a that's n oh yeah okay I learned it all can you tell you properly that way I can type how fast I can survive probably dial up okay okay that's cool though I don't need sweet I like it a lot and it's good at what it's doing I guess it doesn't register I'm not gonna give away the video no yeah don't go any further perfect there's also the continuation of the Apple fiasco with the iMac Pro buying a video card without getting screwed and some other cool stuff like the history of the motherboard I haven't seen that video I'm going to watch that video because I grew up with these super janky weird motherboard setups and I grew up with like my dad's computer where basically to build the computer you had to have a whole bunch of add-in cards because the motherboard was so bare and it didn't have like like you didn't have on board Nick okay he didn't have on board land for Ethernet connections he had to have a NIC card in order to have connection I remember when we bought our first computer my mother like I remember being in the shop when we were buying it and it was like for hours and we like bought a sound card yeah like that's just totally integrated you didn't have audio onboard probably yeah so like that I'm 100 in certain to that is going to be a sick video so be sure to check that out check out flow plate you go to flow plane comm and sign up there or you can do it through the forum but we are moving over to flow plane calm and honestly the payment system of open comm works way better so if you want to have less issues I would probably go there yeah but it only sports credit card right now we will be supporting paypal in the future but crypto currencies no kitties kitties yeah well you can hear a flow plane for a single crypto kitty what is the crypto kitty what you don't know what crypto kitties is something worth describing it's like come and gone this is like a four month old is it like a meme it's like a it's like a Syrian based game where you trade digital kitties I didn't I didn't watch it go by are you telling you to suck off I just there we go I think we've completed our ritual we didn't get to watch that but I think we're in sync I think so yeah I noticed when mine was like going down that yours was going down at the same time and stuff and I was like I saw in the corner in that smile yeah oh you did this mommy too thing as later okay okay that movie was amazing I just have to say that let's get back on topic though actually no let's do add spots we might as well do energy you know yes a whole yes correct synergy - synergy is a mouse and keyboard sharing software so you can have multiple computers even multiple different types of computers like a laptop and a desktop and you could have like Linux on one of them and Windows or Mac or whatever and you could share your mouse and keyboard across all of them it doesn't even matter which mouse and keyboard use you can even use a cows yeah yes I want to make and now it with synergy one you had to have like one of the computers set up as a server and I think that was the one that had to have the most people work plugged into it and then you had like all the client boxes all okay so all that's been massively simplified it doesn't really matter which one you have this stuff plugged into you can share it across all of them it's like super simple now there's SSL encryption so you don't have to worry about someone like taking over your stuff which would be not great just you know not good in general you can even use a Raspberry Pi now which is pretty nuts they've fixed issues with reconnecting all the computers after one of them goes to sleep they fixed issues where redundant connections were being created between machines which would also be not necessarily good things things are great if you have multiple computers if you go to work with a laptop and then bring it home and want to be able to put it on your desk and easily transfer files from one to the other just by dragging and dropping from one desktop to the other one and just really nice seamless stuff like that check out oh I guess seamless seamless comm / synergy / plan 5 use the use of the 5 yeah it's important when PI also speaking of Kyle's video on flow plane we've got be quiet they're a sponsor of the show you can check out their der croc Pro 4 and they're not as pro but still pretty cool dark rock for itself the dark rock 4 and dark rock Pro 4 CPU coolers include virtually inaudible silent wings 135 millimetre PWM fans it achieves a quiet 21 point 4 DB at maximum fan speed which is actually pretty Swick smells pretty good in there too oh my you know ok a slight tangent while we're on the topic sorry be quite put mouse pads smell terrible when you first take them out of the box but anyways we're going after they this is pretty bad smells like a tire yeah that's looking like this smell of fingertips not that interesting ok it supports an additional 120 millimeter fan clips are included in the scope of delivery there's a brushed aluminum top cover which looks pretty nice it like covers up the the fin stuff so that's what you see inside your PC we can replace my face with it now I'm like the man with the Apple in front of his face anyways moving on there's a three year manufacturer warranty which is great and and yeah if you need a CPU cooler check them out there on Newegg and other websites but we have links for Newegg which will be

first purchase back to the show boom the beginning of the end of passwords yes so there could be a future soon where you very very seldom enter a password which would be dope because password stuck and so what happened is there's this there's this new security standard called web often like authentication yeah that's so stupid it's weird thanks guys I thought it was a typo at first like you know I was like oh it appears more than once oh you didn't account for people saying this out loud okay well web often has one near final approval from the World Wide Web Consortium which is the governing body for these kinds of standards so what this is is on your phone you're unlocking your phone with face ID or with your fingerprint all the time right but you don't do that when you go to facebook.com or basically any other website all recipes for them you enter in just a password and setting up a face biometric password on all different websites would take a long time you'd have to not only would they have to implement that that technology but then you'd have to like do your all those different finger taps on every different finger for every website and that'd be really annoying so what this is is it's an API and the application programming interface that all the different web sites will will hook into and then you only have to set up your biometric passwords once and then the whole web can rely on them which is gonna be be a yes so for hackers all you really need to do is break one system yeah then you get all of them yes SiC I might be wrong but this is how I think it works because the I had to do some some digging beyond just what was found on the forum the forum post by the way was posted by Matthew villian Thea thank you very much thank you Matt you sound Italian but Valencia that's Spanish sounding to me I'm really bad so you're probably totally right it could be really yeah I don't know it's it sounds like it could be cool it sounds like it could be a single point of failure it just depends on I guess how they exactly implement it you can require something like a Yubikey which i think is actually pretty cool so if they if they add power to the user in terms of like oh I'm okay with fairly weak authentication and you want to go that route that's fine I don't care if someone doesn't really care about their accounts that's okay if you have one password for everything and you think that's okay that's fine as long as it's in your control to amplify that and have more security well if you want to go to like having two factors still like a Yubikey and something else that could be pretty cool well you kind of already have a single point of failure like if someone were to get my phone which they unlock with a fingerprint or they were to get my laptop and unlocking the password then I have all those autocomplete set up so they kind of have everything anyway see but then that's that's in your control thing yes mine doesn't if someone got my phone yeah if they have access to not very much I don't have access to my email which is pretty bad and I guess they would have I but they don't have access to like my password trove and nothing autocompletes mm-hmm but they would have my email so they could probably reset most things but like yeah but even if even if you're the kind of person you like doesn't care about things wouldn't those like how are they gonna get ahold of your of your biometric information isn't that just hashed isn't it totally yeah but okay so the there's there's different types of of hacking so you could find a vulnerability in the system that no longer requires you to use those sure yeah okay right things yeah it's and and someone will probably find one of those okay whether it ends up on zero day and gets solved or whether it gets sold or what happens with it who knows and having one central system if it's open source and you have a whole bunch of huge companies working on making sure that it stays secure could be really awesome and could like really lock things down one thing that's awesome about this is if you're not even that savvy or serious about your privacy you're more protected with this because you can't be fished with this because your password is like a secret that you know and just because no one else knows it doesn't mean that they can't get it just by asking you what it is which is what phishing is you know you get but my wife actually got an SMS recently that was like your your telco has given you a refund or your ISPs giving you a refund of 114 dollars and 61 cents click through you click through and it's got tiles for each of the common banks in Canada totally branded looks totally professional looks awesome and you just you click on that and it's like you enter your banking credentials and then boom they have everything if she didn't explicitly know like this is P never text me they never text me and they have no reason to give me a refund but like how tempting is that like about free money free money yeah anything's possible with SMS login people get fished all the time so you can't get fish with this you still totally good because if say it would just be done in a different way because you would have to have it capture your authentication I guess so it because you're saying this is a general API for everyone right so they would be so you would go to the phishing site and it would be like scan your fingerprint and you like click when you have to when you get like it on Android or iOS wouldn't you get a permission prompt that was like share your fingerprint with this website and you'd be like that's weird I already did that and then even if you did say yes that they'd scan your fingerprint it would just be once which may not be enough to like totally get so your bank may not be enough I don't know it's it still might work it's potential you could also algorithm it out to like angle it slightly to try to make it slightly different and honestly I would honestly think most people would go like oh yeah go away to any prompt that's like do you want to share this with the website heard me it's it's still possible there's there's phishing attempts that succeed that are super garbage all the time and there's actually some people who intentionally make things like phishing attempts that are really bad because they don't want to get savvy people so they actually weed out savvy people by making it fairly obviously fake so if someone does fall for it they can probably get way more from them they're really gullible yeah there's there's amazing the the world of people trying to benefit off of other people is vast and well it that actually is a pretty good segue into another thing that happened which is this ransomware that asks yeah pub G ransomware it's like your data is encrypted the only way to get it back is to play this video game like we're not affiliated just play because it's awesome or if you don't want to do that just enter the password that's actually written right here on the screen so just look at just like a joke I don't know maybe someone just wanted definitely maybe it's a viral marketing campaign it's obviously like bad and stuff iral to virus it's a viral marketing yeah that's pretty good I like that I didn't pick up on there anyway first it's it's obviously like bad and stuff but I think it's hilarious I I think this is very funny just play pub G for one hour and apparently you don't even have to you just launch the game at all it's just that's what happens yeah when you launch it it and the or restore code is and you can just type that in I think it's I think it's funny it's it's I mean I'm not condoning it a good thing all that kind of stuff but I just I think it's hilarious I was like kind of hoping it was gonna happen to me just like wow I guess I gotta play gee honey our data look it's date night ignore that code yeah I have to say that I have to save the pictures although all the family pictures are all super important yes family my family videos my family BR videos yes of course apparently warranty sticker stickers that say yeah the sticker you're going to your voyant tias ward you know what I'm talking about this is supposed to buy Steve Grabowski on the forum and the previous topic was posted by no one a Grabowski thanks for the topic yes warranty void if removed that sticker apparently is bullshit and illegal so the FTC is cracking down they've sent letters to six major companies they haven't said who these companies are but they're big and they're in the sectors of their car manufacturers of cars they are did I even write it down yeah here we go automobile all cellular devices and video game systems makers like I'm pretty sure they're big companies like so yeah yeah so they've sent warning letters to these companies writing that statements that consumers must use specified parts or service providers to keep their warranties is actually illegal and it has been since 1975 and we've kind of always sort of known this likely always okay okay but it's--but so okay maybe I shouldn't say we have but like a lot of people have been on this side and kind of known this for a long time but that being said because there hasn't been a big public statement that's super easy to point out like this there is you can point out like really old laws and whatever but most companies just act on the idea that it that it is enforceable so we'll make it a nightmare to actually get your stuff repaired to the point where it's not worth it I think even if even if the case was that like you know I'm gonna take the sticker off and there's nothing the company can do and they're gonna have to honor the warranty anyway just the fact that they have the sticker on there and are deterring a large part of the population even that is getting crack down on it which is good because that's sicker like you're right deters a huge percentage of population basically almost everyone and then even if it doesn't like I love breaking those stickers if I did want a warranty repair for something that I broke the sticker on it would be a nightmare and probably not worth my time and it would probably never end up happening and to get it fixed I'd probably have to take them to court which is not going to be worth it so this being enacted is awesome I love it it's great this is good one quote that I like here is from Thomas B Paul acting director of the FTT FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection he said proficient provisions that tie warranty coverage to the use of particular products or services harm both consumers who pay more for them as well as the small businesses who offer competing products and services you know like if there's a say a Mac store that's not max certified but the people there yeah they know how to fix them those people should be able to start businesses and fix up these computers yeah I completely agree the right to repair you know let's not waste as much stuff sounds good to me home baud no I mean like that's do that I know let's do it I'm down this is this is interesting Apple hasn't been what's the last thing that Apple released that was a new product air pods okay yeah no you got me immediately well that goes out the window I was thinking like they're what they're watched hasn't done very well their home pod now hasn't done very well but you're right air pods have done great but they okay they are suppose to watch gain steamed has gains gained steam it has yeah yeah okay everyone knows it's the best SmartWatch out there I mean it's not saying okay but do people care about me exactly do people care about smartwatches no no the category is is still yeah pretty niche so here's the story with the home pods when they was when the pre-orders went out that weekend the the sales of like the pre-orders there for the home pod accounted for seven 3% of all smart speaker sales that weekend and for the first month I believe it was 10% of the market basically the market share of home pawed relative to other smart speakers like E Amazon echo and Google home is abysmal and shrinking ahead hey a depressing rate if at first it looked like the home pod might be a hit pre-orders were strong in the last week of January it grabbed about a third of the u.s. smart smart speaker market in unit sales but by the time home pod arrived in stores sales were tanking during the first 10 weeks they had 10% of the smart speaker market but three weeks after launch sales slipped to about four percent that we it didn't help that they miss the entire holiday season and that when they did ship they were missing two critical features that they're gonna have to wait for Apple AirPlay to before they have which is gonna be like July or something all that notwithstanding the end result here is that Apple has actually slashed the quantity that they're ordering from their suppliers now from 500,000 units to 200,000 units and the people who are working like anecdotally I guess you know employees at Apple stores are saying that like yeah we sell like 10 of these a day like they're not really flying off the shelf which is interesting because that quite a few stores 10 a day would be pretty good so I don't know what yeah who said that because if that was at Pacific Center like in Vancouver it's like damn yeah we sell like ten iPhones a day yeah yeah yeah exactly but yeah and like yeah there's a little Apple section of the local Best Buy and like if they sold 10 home pod today they'd be so amazed and ties to be undone like sleeves would be rolled over getting trampled so it really like I don't know if they have 10 customers a day at that Apple thing they're stoked so like it depends on the scale of where you're dealing with but essentially they're not selling very well so there's a rumor here I believe it's just a rumor I mean it's definitely just a rumor I just don't know how how like authoritative that rumor is but yeah people are saying that now that could be considering making a smaller home pod I guess it would be cheaper because I mean it's a pretty competitive market smoke yeah this isn't a Bluetooth speaker but Bluetooth speakers are totally totally commodity by now and the thing with smart speakers is Apple is the only one that's not decoupled from their own proprietary device like you can get Sonos I have or you will be soon so knows that have Google assistant in them yeah you can get sona's to have alexa in them there's some devices have Amazon Alexa as well as Google assistant in them oh my gosh you know so almost is gonna be like that soon and I believe there's a company that I think it's called the wand and it's on its way here that does that how cool is that to address Alexa and then address I said it to dress her and then address Google home oh yeah for whatever you want like that's awesome anyway here's a few reasons why I don't think it's true that Apple is making a smaller home pod and maybe I'll be wrong but I don't think it makes very much sense because when you make a speaker that's cheaper they give you think about the echo and the echo dot everything about the Google home and the Google mini the thing that makes it cheaper and smaller is that they've compromised on sound quality like yeah the Google mini doesn't have the speakers that the bigger one does but with the home pod that's the only thing that the home pod does well is the sound quality so if they got rid of the sound quality all you'd have left is all the reasons why home pod isn't doing well you'd have a crappy assistant that doesn't do that much stuff yeah so why would you buy that you wouldn't so it doesn't make any sense I think if they are doing that I think it would speak to the like post Steve Jobs Apple and like I don't know if they are doing that and if they're not I think that would make more sense so I'm not saying this is necessary what's happening but all the Apple with Steve Jobs not all the old Apple without him or older Apple with it I mean like the the like third one not the fourth one that we're currently in it Madhu manded know this is the right way do it if they make something they would have been like no this is what people should have and people will learn that we're right eventually or whatever and everything that they would make would make tons of money and make sense and even if it didn't sell a huge amount the first time they made it they would just make another one which is a linear improvement well I'm going from there I think you can categorize that by eras and a tribute to Steve Jobs but I think a lot of it is more attributed to just the maturation of the more that particular market category and now there's lots of different iPhones because the smartphone market is just way more mature in terms of speakers though like their their market strategy now is like we're a hardware company whose principal product the smartphone is under attack at all sides and being commoditized so what we're gonna do instead because we can't get more iPhone customers is we're just gonna get more money from our existing customers through all these kind of ancillary products like air pods and the home pod so we're gonna make a speaker that's really good and we're gonna get another three hundred fifty dollars from each of our existing customers that's wicked I don't think they're gonna compromise on that I don't think they're gonna say you know what instead of getting $350 from our customers we're gonna get 150 with this like weak-ass home pod yeah because then who's gonna get the expensive one it makes a lot more sense to me for them to spend their resources on making the home pod that already exists more attractive why don't they just make it you know focus on the ecosystem focus on the the integration with more smart homes stuff makes Siri better and makes Siri better if you can at this point yeah and that's gonna impact all your other products as well I think focusing on the ecosystem for them is is what they're gonna do is that's consistent with those strategy that they're using today I think this rumor is bunk I think the first person to make a very personalized assistant is gonna start winning me over pretty fast when it's like actual conversational oh yeah that would win a scarlet johansson CH like sap like from is that is that hurt hurt yeah yeah have you seen now why him stop why him yeah yeah it's a James Franco movie no I haven't yeah yeah there's a there's a virtual assistant in that movie that's totally totally cloak you like it fights with you inside yeah perfect yeah like I I'm correct no seriously though like I want it to be like you're late wake up yeah yeah then what I'm like no I want Susan get up yeah and like it cuz it gets used to the fact that I've a hard time waking up so it becomes a little bit more aggressive sort of tries to give me up like I I want one that learns Who I am I would honestly mostly prefer that it was local and didn't have to call back to outside servers and would just use my own stuff so if someone makes one of those I'll spend exorbitant Mouse money and I'll make that work if it's like good but they won't so that's okay but yeah now that'll happen eventually come on Scott it I mean if we're talking like sue for a long term yeah what do you mean this isn't this is 10 years 10 years until you have a local one that's actually as good as the other ones I'm talking yeah I'm talking like okay conversational will definitely happen yeah and I'm but knowing about you and dealing with you the only data they need for that is data from you so why wouldn't that be local because they want all of it though I got confused for a second but it's because they want all of that data so they can train the rest of their their devices and stuff and so they can take things from it for the most point but yeah because they want that data oh there's another like diskettes get one more in here okay speaking of Google basically there's some leaks of where the heck did I put this there's a new gmail coming in the next couple weeks and it has some cool new features yeah some what data mining is profitable basically yeah this looks awesome not only does the aesthetic oh it looks kind of cool or more Android but it has this new feature of like confidential emails so there's like a little lock icon you can hit and when you hit that lock icon your email gets all these new properties such as the recipient can no longer forward that email they can't download it they can't print it obviously they can take a screenshot because nothing take a screenshot or even if you somehow block that because there native OS they could just take another thing yeah sure sure for sure you'll never get past that it disables copy and paste and it lets you make it explode so you can make the email itself expire after like a week or a month or a year or multiple years and when that happens so there are other services that have these kind of properties already the program notably is protonmail if a protonmail user sends an email or a message to another protonmail user and insects loading message when it explodes it just disappears from both of our boxes it's like it's just gone the way it works or is probably gonna work with the new Google one is if you're the recipient you're gonna get an email looks like a normal email you're gonna open that email and it's gonna have a link to the confidential email so when it expires I think it's just that link that expires an email like line item will still be here in your inbox when you click that link you're gonna have to enter your Google credentials again which is pretty sweet cuz then if someone stole your laptop and just had access to your email because you left it open they still wouldn't have access to that that can't confidential email and you can also stipulate that they need to enter like a two-factor thing like a SMS when when they get that email to just increases security if someone steals your device and figures out your pattern or your code or whatever and can get into it like we were talking earlier like my passwords would still be locked but emails auto log-in so if all my emails had this thing or all the important ones had this thing that would add a lot of security and you can make it so that the expiration date like you saying it explodes you can make us say the expiration date is like multiple years so if it's something that that person is gonna have to go back to it multiple times yeah well you could make it so that the expiration date is like way way down the line yeah it also says etc so I could see a potential situation where it just doesn't ever explode but has all the other security features like you have to go through that like you have to reload in yeah all that kind of stuff so you can do it you could do it for just high security emails in general which is really cool it doesn't just have to be stuff that is gonna delete if you're an accountant you could tell your clients like hey some send me or your stuff just make it explode in seven years cuz you I don't need it legally after that time and I don't want to be a holding your data in my storage service yeah I mean it wouldn't be theirs anyway but yeah whatever I think that'd be cool it's Friday night and speaking of Friday night I think that's the end of the show I'm not a duck juice yeah that means it's over I am too so rip that's it thanks for watching check out our sponsors synergy be quiet Squarespace which I'm actually supposed to do it this way so we're gonna have the intro now but you can still hear me I think the set might look different next week but I can tell you why or how or when or if so you free that out of your own oh yeah we're actually going setlist or gonna be a setlist paperless office oh my god we're gonna be a vr channel only you meet us in VR Thank You squirrel man it's not working there we go Thank You Squarespace Thank You synergy and thank you be quiet we'll see you guys next week all right oh wait we didn't do the thing we got to do the thing oh yeah hold on hold on hold on oh good bye [Laughter]
