I can hear myself through there which is super super weird and I hope that's not echoing there's a problem there's one minor problem there's a minor problem those headphones I don't know where to unplug them ah they're like pretty low you hear that yeah I hear it hopefully the audience can't are we live is it are we live right now yeah it's when Showtime yeah actually the video I was working on just now sounded super cool really cool so um have you seen that that like what is it like ten year challenge hashtag or something oh yeah I just phone Oh for that that's hilarious right I'm close to 2009 2019 so we did one but like not not my old facebook pictures or anything because I don't post on Facebook but LTT okay because l 2009 versus 2019 yeah so LT t actually just celebrated its 10-year anniversary and then the funny thing about that you're right that is really loud yeah okay like we gotta unplug them so l TT actually celebrated its 10-year anniversary not that long ago so it's effectively a look at the entire history of the channel yeah because the only things that were posted in 2008 honestly were not what L CT would be over the next three years okay so I don't know if you know this but at the time I was working with Keaton who was a writer slashed the video guy for hardware canucks okay so a lot of hardware connects viewers probably won't remember this but fixed e or fixed was the the both the video personality and the shooter and editor for hardware connects videos for some time before dimitri came onto the scene yeah so he was shooting for you so so the original idea with Linus tech tips was that it was gonna be like a lower production value thing but Keaton who I am quite certain is not watching this so yeah I don't have to worry about I don't have to worry about here but Keaton had sort of uh I don't know if you'd call it a disorder or a compulsion or thank you I don't know what you'd call it but he just couldn't let anything be so he's just good enough so the original idea behind Linus tech tips was that it was supposed to be like the cheapo run-and-gun as fast as you can get it out as fast as you can pump a mouse thing like my quota was 45 videos a month on top of light I had a real job on top of the four to six NCIX tech tips I remember one of my favorite things was it was super important when I pressed record and when I press stop record because we were not gonna edit it so like if I if I didn't if I if there was a huge delay between me pressing recording you starting to talk it was awkward and if I'd let it run for too long after you stopped talking to his awkward so that was like we've run into trouble sometimes we're like Luke would think I was done and I would think I was done but then I'd be like oh except for one and laughs sorry I depress record let me be like okay so Keaton couldn't do that so so the first couple of line is tech tips videos actually from like an an effort standpoint anyway we're quite a bit higher production values okay like the first one has a laugh track so like there's actual editing in it I don't know if I've seen the first - tech tips video I nursing the first NCI executives video oh yeah the first line is probably do I talk to our AMD rep into allowing us to do a pre-release video I've seen that of an undisclosed processor and he was like well you can't leak any useful information about it so the only thing I was essentially able to say was I have it but there's actual electrical tape on the screen to ensure that no you know you know how okay you know how if you have like an image and you like scribble over it you know you can come in scribbling is a guy who swirled this face in the FBI us world it yeah like yeah zero every okay electrical tape stuck to the screen could not see what was under it yeah but it was just like oh there's a processor and then the second one was like the idea was there of it being like cheapo unboxings that were just these very brief looks at a product where it was an unboxing of a rampage three extreme webpage like really hold tortoise I'm page two extreme I don't know it doesn't matter the point is it was it was a rampage board and it had this goofy little like knob on it that was supposed to be like an OC knob - OC up or down so like a shifter so the beginning of the video starts with me holding the driver just like this I like pretending to drive it I liked that kitchen Asst I know I know it wasn't good but like it was bad I I found it entertaining the best part of like people complaining about yeah the sex jokes or the dad humor or the cringe or whatever else I remember when Linus detectives didn't have any of this stuff like oh okay no what are you watching this clearly my electives it was terrible literally in the first 10 seconds of the first video ever uploaded to the channel there's a laugh track okay that's brutal I turn around in my chair basically like uh-oh didn't see you there a moment and I bumped the table and a laugh track goes off and I'm like Oh in the first 10 seconds i guess i 100% have seen this video but i just don't remember that I remember you hitting the table but I don't remember the laugh track my brain just like edited that out it's like no you're not allowed to no no bad it can't happen you know what there's no love we don't really have any good topics today though has cult we did the land show dot it's just watchful we're just gonna we're gonna watch this video I mean I mean that's what twitch streamers do these days anyways there's gonna be a lot more insight in the in the like 2009 to 2019 video you know what's really what was a really cool thing about that video I'm pretty sure I can talk about this now like I don't think there's an the a or anything but it's sponsored by P and H oh cool yeah yeah so like oh boy so like half the content in that video is gonna be like yeah cuz that's the point that's the point they knew what they response okay we have a point she was scratched lands okay like it was and I was doing that Co nation is bad so um no no they they know it's all good so like part of the cool thing about going through this progression is that where we started out compared to like BH wanting to work with us oh it's like a ten year change in terms of like the both the business side and the production values the fact that B and H will even pick up the phone to talk of us lead they wouldn't have know we're still trying to just like you know run around with a cell phone hey what's this fire truck oh I hate that that video is still the top viewed video on the panel what's it at now it's over 10 million oh all right so so this visit I don't actually know if you guys are gonna have audio capture from my computer so good luck everybody else I also don't even know if this is gonna work yeah and test it yeah that's that's the intro yeah how do you like that four by three aspect ratio there baby also it was only a minute twenty see I remember that I very clearly remember that but I still don't remember the laugh track I'm actually kind of happy I can't hear is this what YouTube does to 4x3 videos now just make it like weird and squish letter and pillar boxed that's pretty weird okay so we showed it running at 3.6 gigahertz honestly though this one's not as cringy I don't know if they have audio mic cliping something something where's the sound is there no sound Oh apparently the sound is too low Luke's ducky vid was great it is but it's not going to be in that 2009 2019 thing because that was not technically a Linus tech tips video that was when I was like still planning on doing my own thing okay he's happy I didn't do that that would have been a disaster I don't know that that video seemed pretty good oh yeah yeah I mean for the time it seems pretty legit I'll be boat par I mean considering how bad like my stuff was at that time like everything was kind of bad back then yeah everything was terrible sorry I'm just loading up floatplane stream so I can see comments from these got a title and here's wrong because you weren't logged in oh yeah dang it yep sorry everyone all right apparently you're too close to the mic yeah but I can't really like like did someone come in here and like make changes to this or something okay apparently the audio it wasn't why why do people make changes I specifically said on my way out from lunch yes I know it's kind of too quiet don't make any changes are you just moving it away yeah okay I'm probably gonna be too loud regardless but your Toula yeah no I've got people saying audio is clipping like just audio is clipping so that's a big actual problem and that's very frustrating because this is why this is why I say these things there's too many dials I don't know all the dials we just have way too much like the fact that we're running a singular mic and we have all this junk is ridiculous my streams audio always sounds significantly better and I just have one mixer yeah like I don't I don't it shouldn't be this hard I don't know the frustrating thing is everyone in chat in flow plane though is saying that the stream looks amazing so heck yeah there we go oh good yeah we have that yeah so we're just said turn all the dials if we just randomize everything it might end up better alright well I'm just I'm just gonna be relatively quiet and I'm gonna hope for the best okay we do we do have technically a land show document this week do we not there are there are news I know it's I just got signed out but Intel discontinues core plus octane processors wow that was that was not gonna eventually happen for sure the mother of all breaches exposes 773 million emails and 21 million passwords Facebook is apparently secretly building lol a meme hub isn't Facebook already a meme hub but this is the thing that kind of blows my mind it's like Facebook's like yeah we need to purchase whatsapp to get into the like like messaging private messaging game but then but then Facebook message is your thing and like apparently people use like Instagram as their social network now yep can I help you you wanna are you the one who adjusted this who touched it I'm trying to not throw people under busses can you can you find who touched it maybe that would probably be really good I just yeah the problem is that then you're gonna end up adjusting the compressor and it's really better not to touch the compressor okay fine then do whatever you want I know how they work too but that doesn't change the honestly I don't even think that one works properly like I think all of that just needs to go in the garbage and you just need one good yeah well the issue is that two weeks ago Jake added a preamp with the goal of making the audio quality better and then that was when people started complaining the show was too quiet and then he went on vacation and then called in sick today so he's not here to fix his stupid preamp and he's the one who put it in and the way it's hooked up is complicated and so someone else came in and tried to fix it and they did this is the best watch oh there's also just doing this is that better hold on stop Alex I'm just gonna turn it down in a in OBS no no stop stop stop don't lose everything clipping on here stairs but it seems to be getting better so just keep okay alright well hopefully it's getting better you guys are witnessing real time real time editing of things now we're a bit too quiet oh wow you know I just I give ya I give up no way I'm show today I'm done I'm done uh people say it's fine now so just don't touch it you're still touching it you're still touching it we're just we're just gonna go with what we have I don't even care all right Karen it's it's Trevor s says at least it's not ear rape leave it print help oh boy okay all right okay okay don't spam please all right so why don't we jump into our core plus opt-in processor so you guys the original article here is from kick guru and I don't know where Colton got all these news items but it's obviously not the forum because he's not crediting people on the forum and it doesn't look like he's looking at the tech linked items for this week so there's there's a spot actually on the win show dock for both items that make it into tech linked and ones that are sort of notable but don't make it a detect linked okay so I just like I just don't even know know what he was doing but anyway this is over on kit guru and do you remember core plus vaguely do you know what it is no I remember the branding I don't really remember care so core plus was a brand that from my understanding was mostly intended to only really exist on mobile but then what's interesting here is that it appears as though there were actual desktop processors including an eighty seven hundred eighty four hundred and a quarter that also had it and the idea was that the processor was bundled with obtain memory so its core in that the processor is just a regular old core processor core processor okay I seven I five or whatever yeah and then it was plus because it because it came with opting now to be clear I'm not I'm not down on obtain very cool technology I've been a proponent of SSD caching sand it first showed up in Intel's product stack with what rst I believe there were solutions before that in fact Wow thinking back it really has been a very long time OC said how to drive that I think they called this in apps ah synapse Drive does that sound right ocz synapse yeah is that is that right yeah okay so they had a caching drive that came with like this weird third-party software and it was designed with twice the spare area so it was like it had half the accessible capacity that was actually on the drive and then the idea was that it could easily sustain high performance over time because this was back before I think this is before trim even existed so it could run garbage collection because it had so much spare area and it would last for longer because it had more spare area and you had to install this software and I don't even remember if it worked on a boot volume like it might have just been something that you can do on like a storage volume I don't even remember the details it didn't it didn't sell well because it's like super expensive anyway Intel moved it more mainstream with rst or a Rapid Storage Technology and I've been a proponent of it ever since because I think it's a great way to get better performance out of magnetic storage whether it's for your boot drive or whether it's just for your game drive like we actually did one recently where we compared we ran obtained on AMD which was kind of cool but using third-party software that has come a long way in the last ten years and actually worked really really well like better than AMD's first party solution store am i sorry one quick thing yeah and I do that thing again because there's a lot of questions in here which thing the stream thing it's a dream thing okay so I'm getting a redonk amount of quite probably more than I have any other week which is kind of surprising but if there's people that have questions about flow plane that are fully members or not come to my stream after the stream and asked me then because I have to partake in the win show yeah and is important yeah yeah core plus yeah so no it's one random little thing I want to add I still have that synapse drive do you really yeah the 30 gig one Wow yeah why I just I don't know you should use it as a cache I mean it'd be slow as hell it's a 2 - isn't it yeah yeah I think so it's really old yeah cuz that's isn't that like priests and force that's that my careless because I remember you gave it to me when I used to live there ha and then I guess I stopped using it so it's like still there was it one of those like I never want to see this again things or no I used something to deserve it I think it was I don't want to deal with this ok yeah I think that was it so anyway long story short I'm cool with caching I think it's great however yeah the branding behind like that core plus branding is terrible I honestly the branding and the marketing around almost everything that touches obtained has been really rough there's a lot of things that they could have done to just make it yeah just make it better and easier to understand like locking it down less and like I don't know anyway will be funky octane is cool this solution selling it bundled with a processor is super dumb they should just sell it as a processor and an obtain module yeah you'd even sell it as like a bundle just say that not core plus yeah cuz core plus sounds like like it like a case Q style thing yeah you know what I mean or it sounds like it has more course yeah sure yeah you know again everything's got like a 10-year theme I think it was like 11 12 years ago that intel released their core series processors I'm still mad it's so stupid why do I have to say core i7 quad core processor why do I have to say core twice it's so dumb I actually liked the i7 I 5x3 thing when it first came out really when it first came out and I justify it no I'm listening it helped categorize things for me when I was trying to do explain things to other people and I know I know actually proper defining lines between the categories categories have always been really weird but in general most things kind of line up pretty well do they I don't necessarily want to follow this story but like if I was if someone was like what's the difference if someone who knew basically nothing was like what's the difference between high 17 high fives with Sandy Bridge what would you say I would say go watch this excellent video over on the channel taken by the Sandy Bridge so pre techie okay I could tweet a quickie I talked to I would say a core i7 is maybe gonna have more memory channels okay but although they don't know anything they don't know what memory channel I'm talking total layman I worked it best buy it this time I'm selling laptops okay I would say and like core i7 might have onboard video but might not it's a laptop a laptop well there were desktop ones yes there some of them were triple channel memory some of them were dual some of them were architectural II a generation ahead of the other ones that were on the high-end platform we sought we sold like a desktop a week laptops were selling like this so what your experience inside Best Buy is all that matters and no I was saying it was useful to me at that time okay but couldn't they just as easily I didn't say it was good okay I didn't say it was good couldn't easily gone okay gold silver bronze yep the gold one the gold - yep the gold - ah they could have I'm not saying I don't I'm not saying it was good not that I'm saying that's good either what they've done with the Zeon's gold silver brought it's terrible it's terrible scenario so also really big yeah I just in general it was helpful to be like that one has this stuff extra there you go it has hyper-threading yeah that's the answer you where we wanted from me is yes and you avoided it the whole time but that's that's all I needed to say to most people and okay what's hyper-threading Wow but it was still sort of helpful but the core part actually frustrated me more yeah I was stupid yeah the iSeries has its own huge swath of problems you know that's the really dumb thing to it's like I actually because I'm not really an auto person I actually blamed Intel for this crap it's BMW three five and seven series oh my god it's all BMWs fault see I'm a computer person I thought it was the other way around no that makes as if BMW would copy intel cementing you know the crazy thing is until used to have like respectable branding to do to do yeah like until inside people used to like there was kids at my school who were not into computers who had Intel Inside shirts cuz like it was a thing and the old int onside commercials were like very memorable until inside was huge yep and you you still remember the jingle and like there's there even other stuff that I thought they did really well Centrino I thought was a stroke of marketing excellence maybe not genius but definitely excellence because what it did was it achieved a sales goal so it incentivized laptop manufacturers to buy not just the CPU and chipset but also the Wi-Fi module from Intel it improved the state of wireless technology for consumers in general because all of a sudden it made it easy to buy decent Wi-Fi over craptastic Wi-Fi that just like basically wasn't gonna work it had until networking it had a battery life message behind it because it had to include their Benyus core core M processor [Laughter] and so it had like it had this strong technology and sort of quality of life and also sales kind of message so I like I had to respect it as as sort of excellent marketing yeah a well crafted message yeah but it just it feels like they're just struggling and I have to wonder if maybe part of the problem is that they just don't really have anything new to sell more Korres doesn't okay so what like AMD is like we actually don't know what to do with all these cores it's all inside well am be outside there's got two records to fit inside it should steep that should be their branding okay I can't carry all these course yeah but CPU so efficient you can go buy a pickup truck and kill the environment with it if you buy your cores in the bed drive around just drive around to work commuting in that pickup truck you got all your core isn't it I just want the most Texan personified to do this video I specifically make sure that they have no idea what a core is is have them be like super into it won't even be helpful anyways the outside I don't think them not having something new to sell justifies butchering all their branding yeah because they if they kept up from that I know I was I was crushed when Squarespace change their branding back in the day from build a beautiful or whatever the other one was because there was two that I really liked oh man you and I played off this make it crazy make it something I think and I would always jump in and say the word Oh what it was I don't remember wow I don't remember yeah maybe it wasn't that good oh well okay they dropped it pretty quick cuz they used to switch branding yes super fast you should yeah [Laughter] you should go view that was amazing so like thank you they change the branding way too fast and I don't know I've never actually thought that was that great of an idea especially if you find one that gloms on really well yeah and like maybe you should only calm down with our audio were just like yeah maybe but Intel Inside was very Universal and that was all you have to update stuff and I have to confess I didn't like their newer logo until I like went back the other day I could see some updating the logo though but I would keep my Intel Inside Intel side was huge do they still use it at all like I think they definitely still protect the trademark I'm sure but like yeah trademarks Intel insides brand logo mark name on my network this is relatively new branding ish yeah okay so they still put inside on stuff but it's not doesn't have the same kind of punch here's a sample usage chart I mean maybe they just don't emphasize it the way that they used to yeah amazing I always get such a kick out of this I remember we we worked with well I guess it'll never happen again because I'm talking about this now but we worked with the IOC at one point oh and the guidelines they have for this kind of stuff are just like they're actually crazy yeah look at this amazing things start with Intel Inside is correct amazing things start with Intel inside your PC like look for Intel Inside okay oh it's got this I think I was gonna say I think that's the problem with that one too I don't think it's the PC I think it's that Intel's the trademark is on Intel I don't know whatever they're not they're not oh shoot did we have an echo in the backlogs doing that oh my bad I'm sorry you guys they probably did crap oh well welcome to flow plain UNIX night yeah well welcome to the land show everyone we just complained about into a brothel yeah every week do we even have a show today is this even a show is anyone gonna watch this yeah yeah 7500 people watch into YouTube yeah it officially doesn't matter anymore let's saw actually we should probably do our sponsor spots holy crap we started so late today oh yeah spectrum yeah uh-oh hey new packaging I want the vector is this the oh there's a dress there's a clip-on you don't have glasses though so you don't get the clip-on oh this is the blue light blocking oh these look nice glasses yeah these look actually quite a bit better almost all your driving decisions are based on what you see spectrums new lumen driving glasses with the L um to ten lens claim to make it easier to see road marks stop signs street lights and more to help reduce your risks on the road this is actually something that is pretty like well-known using a like a yellow tinted lens while you're driving is supposed to increase visibility they also block a hundred percent of UVA and UVB rays and if you're unsatisfied with your lumen glasses within 30 days they'll give you a full refund no questions asked so go to and shoten ah use when shoten on their Amazon listing oh we have a coupon to just buy the one Amazon that's kind of crazy I get 10% off your order at LM GG g / looming LM dijon LM g g g / lumen how do these look are they a little wide for my face uh I'm really bad at that I think barely but like maybe not I feel like if I had trendier hair I could actually rock these but my hair is so bad that was actually another thing that was kind of fun for the 10 year thing like looking at your hair through the ages and the great thing about it is that there was just like not really a clear improvement no oh no there's periods of like truly spectacular ly awful there's dips but there's not really anything better it's like I have such unpopular opinions about certain things about you I don't find your voice annoying I've never seen your hair is a notable problem oh it's a problem I know a parent yeah oh it's like I'm just bad it's objectively a big problem I don't see you know who else's sponsor today humblebundle heck ya find great deals on amazing games books comics and more at Humble Bundle they believe you should pay for what you want and they even give you the ability to decide how you want to divide your payment between the creator's charity and even to Humble Bundle themselves you can either purchase specific titles at their store or through their bundle sets and they have monthly bundles as a subscription service so find out what you could get this month through our partner link LM GG g / humble bundle that's pretty cool i've used humbled by the lots of times me too I've bought a lot of games I never played yeah but I've also got some games that I did play yeah and I didn't pay very much and it was probably like cheaper as a whole anyways yes now is the beauty of Humble Bundle but they have this like a normal store now - which is pretty cool yeah technically there's a private Internet access spot in here get private Internet access I don't have a lot of time you would show is gonna be we've got a better link than that what is it LM g ja GG / dia when yeah LM GG g / p IA when we gotta get those things updated yeah oh you know what else I really really have to update you guys on okay so we've got a couple of updates we actually forgot last week to look at the blog oh so there's a couple updates posted by Stephanie Potter ways to get to LTX 2019 Xtreme hack lots of options if you're flying into Vancouver the closest airport is Vancouver International Airport YVR it's in Richmond don't worry it doesn't matter if you plan on staying in Richmond or downtown Vancouver there's a great there are great public transit options it's called the sky train so there's three lines that branch out from actually very close to where LTX is if you are anywhere not on the sky train our public transit sucks and we don't have Ober so I would strongly recommend finding a hotel that is near a sliding station so the Waterfront station is about five minutes from the Vancouver Convention Center walking and pretty much everything can get to waterfront if you live locally or plan on renting a car there's ample parking located under the East Building of the Vancouver Convention Center road-tripping to the great white north if you're taking i-5 up from CF from Seattle you'll cross into Canada gee Sarge border-crossing which is open 24 hours these are actually really great tips you guys are gonna wanna go check these out over at LTX Expo comm and we've got some information about hotel accommodation and options um yeah we don't have lyft or uber week I cannot make that clear enough we do not have ride share here because the taxicab mafia is still somehow winning it's it's unbelievable Mexico and taxicabs are kind of garbage here too yeah if you stay in downtown Vancouver it's roughly a 20 to 30 minute walk max and then there's always taxis or public transit as options it's a decent City to walk through though um so there's some four and a half five star for 600 to 800 a night that's pretty expensive if the rest of downtown is a bit of a mixed bag ranging from 80 bucks a night for hostels to hotels in the 300 dollar range and if you're looking at Airbnb zs-- there's options from single rooms to full apartments in the 125 to 350 range if you don't mind traveling more or you want to rent a car cuz you're gonna run around and see the city like I know Steve from gamers Nexus ended up going up to Whistler and doing some biking and stuff since he was in town anyway um you can stay outside of the downtown core and it's quite a bit less expensive so like hostels as low as like 50 bucks a night so uh yeah that's pretty cool what Colton it's gonna be it's gonna be sick these are from spectrum they're they're driving glasses oh they're actually they're actually like tinted kind of like differently than their regular just like blue light filters this isn't during the sponsor spot anymore so I'm gonna I'm gonna go into it the style of them reminds me very strongly of destiny skins really yeah they're like gold with the carbon fiber and then other matte black this is a really sporty very destiny skin style this almost looks like like an impact resistant like sports goggles to me yeah this one doesn't this one's more like like stylish like I could actually like I could actually see myself like just wearing this when I'm I could see you doing something active you could see me wearing them yeah you mean literally yeah thanks Lou no no [Laughter] we have news in other news the oh really was there news in the first place Lenovo might be releasing their folding phone yeah the Razr name oh that's great seriously oh they gotta have like all the colors again like chocolate so it might be making a comeback as a $1,500 foldable phone according to the verge will remember the razor wasn't cheap that's true but like like wow there was nothing amazing about it though like calm down you know I don't think it's gonna get any better so here's the thing I think it was for the first time last year global phone unit sales dipped well like they still have executives to pay you know ya know I'm I just gotta go I can CLE they do so we don't know anything about this thing no screen size no specs no yeah really anything we just know that it's not the phone in the picture that's yeah no that's the original Motorola RAZR yeah um so I was hands-on with a foldable phone down at CES did you happen to see that video no but I've seen many photos of that phone he's terrible yeah I kind of assume yeah I was like it was one of those things where it was kind of like the ya know quit okay so a question is it terrible as in this will always suck or is it terrible as in like wow this is a really really rough year zero but I see the future it was terrible in that it was it's a really rough year zero but I see the future but they are going to suck for a while yeah okay cuz here's nothing I know what I was thinking you think think back to how long it took laptop manufacturers to figure out palm rejection on the touchpad I'm like not having a VCR inside which is a relatively simple problem yeah it's very horrible compared to like a dual sided foldable device where you are at times going to be touching the other folded side of the display in the course of your regular operation of it like this is not simple and it's gonna look stupid if it's not if it doesn't you know have stuff on the back like it's not gonna look cool and space-age it's not gonna work for marketing purposes unless they try to keep the whole display on the whole time so so there's there's the whole touch rejection thing to get over there's the fact that if that display is anything to go by the quality of the OLED panels themselves might be trash now it was it was bad like I honestly that booth was one of those ones where I wanted to be as nice to them as I could because I was right up in their grills while I'm talking about this product yeah but I also tried to get my point across that like even though this product is for sale like don't buy it it's got some issues some issues yeah as they say the other one that was like that was the the VR shoes that I saw while I was down there do you see that video yes I'd liked them I know but it's ed ed likes them until I told him how much they cost how much they cost guess okay so just okay so you haven't seen the video there VR shoes where you like go like this on the floor or like backwards and you spin in your chair and like you walk in this direction and then you like spinning your chair and you walk in this direction but you stay seated the whole time so my brain like rollerballs on the bottom it it's effectively ball most technology in 2019 on your feet it's not quite ball Mouse technology because it's only 2d so it's more like scroll wheel technology scroll carry on it's even not as advanced as ball most technology in 2019 so it should cost like like 50 bucks a foot but I'm going to guess it's like three hundred three hundred fifty bucks for the set and at that price would you consider it to be something worth buying no and if you liked it no it's four hundred dollars oh oh okay oh the main reason why I would say no I wouldn't find it because it's gonna be good in such a select amount of games because so many games are not gonna expect you to have that type of movement Dhoom like they had there I'm very not surprised they picked doom yeah because it's probably pretty good and do but like I can't imagine if you need to travel for very long distances like if you're in like oh yeah what a pain yeah I have to run across this whole freaking map just trying to like run in my chair the whole damn time like that's I can't imagine that would be good like it's one of those it's one of those things where it's like did joystick waggling with the we ever displace traditional controllers no because no one actually wants to do that and if you're gonna if we're gonna play an exercise game then I'm gonna play an exercise game not uh like shuffling my feet back and forth yeah game like that's not an elite Sabre oh sorry go ahead I I also partially understand the cost because they're gonna sell like four of them more than that obviously I'm exaggerating by a lot but like yeah if it was just like two dudes or something I'd be like yeah you guys can make her go oh this hey you took a trackball almost and you put it on people's feet how do software work yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah in other news yeah in other news the pi max isn't bad anymore oh really yes that's actually surprising it's very surprising cuz did you you never tried it no but I listened to you I was really frustrated because there were other like I'm not gonna name any names partly because I don't remember what they are but I was getting thrown under the bus because there were other like much more credible VR enthusiast youtubers who are focused on VRS that were saying that amazing sure and I was sort of the the dissenting voice being like no actually this is garbage like they cannot ship this something something I've been sorry I'm gonna kill ya something I've been thinking about over the last little bit it's like a lot of the vrq think you are Linus you can interject your home point a lot of the VR community a lot of the hardcore VR community kind of hates us because we're dissenters to a certain degree right I think the problem is we can't be their champion right well I guess I sort of could now but it's also not my space anymore but like Linus tech tips can't be their champion his last actives is technology review yes and it's like early on and really rough and like people that are buying them are not using them and like etc etc etc so like gotta keep credibility and be a proper reviewer it's we can't yeah champion VR I think we both would like to I want it to be better than it is I want it to do better than it has yeah and we both wish it the best yes and are both highly interested in it the thing to is even in the time since VR became a consumer product like with the with the vibe I don't mean like there has been dr consumer products before but yeah even in that time - tech tips has also gotten a lot more mainstream in terms of the technology that it covers but also the perspective that i am trying to provide because like i've been i've had my eyes has to be impartial it's not it can't just be your view i've had my eyes kind of opened to that there's so much more to the world than technology enthusiasts even within people who who love and live in brief technology like of the top interest of my twitter followers is dogs not tech there you go tech is a very close second but dogs is first of dogs is first um i mean and here's the thing like even i was watching the mkbhd livestream today and he said he got rid of the mast that i hooked up for him in favor of this jellyfish one because it was like simpler and i was like okay this is just something that you know was hard for me to imagine ten years ago yeah the theme of today's stream yeah it was hard for me to imagine ten years ago but like that even among people who are technology lovers they're sort of this there's this friction when it comes to like working on technology it's like no saying why the sensors don't work physically note etcetera just like there's there's people who would consider themselves into cars but who don't change their own oil yeah they just like driving them so so anyway like we've we've tried to take on and it's not it's not always easy for me like sometimes I'll end up nerding out over like a header on a motherboard and like I can I can feel the hundreds of thousands or millions of eyeballs or maybe not eyeballs but certainly eyebrows just kind of going right what but it's something that I've actively tried to do and from a more mainstream perspective VR is not very interesting like I got I had Yvonne try beat Sabre last night cuz I've been I've been having a blast in it because really I had her try it last night and she played for seven minutes and was like yeah I'm feeling a little sick I'm tired of having something on my face and went back to like browsing Facebook on her phone and that's not because she likes a voter's wasn't good at it or something it's because VR just has like a really long way to go and has some real actual obstacles that I'm sorry will make it not mainstream period like the fact that you need all this space lots of people don't have space yeah even if they did have the money and so people will get mad people will not like it but we got to stand by the stuff my man we can't be the champions for that I don't I don't agree with a lot of the VR community's defenses of VR I love it I've actually I've been using I've been using my vibe more than for LA so I've been using actually quite a lot lately I've been using like at least every other night for this I wouldn't punch my ceiling in beat saber I would probably be using it all the time as well that it's it's very cool but we can't put our own opinions too heavily into the wall okay again I don't do this anymore but line effectives can't put their own opinions too heavily into this kind of stuff I mean I can include it I just can't like that can't be the conclusion of the room you can't just be a champion for it yeah just in spite of whatever is in front of my face yeah um speaking of champion beat saber not savor facebook fall champion wait what is this this is not the right there's not the right thing Oh interesting apparently Facebook is investing into news partnerships over the next three years I guess they don't want to elect to trump again huh that's really interesting Oh Oh speak oh there was like there was like some like Mimi thing that I had one Facebook lol it's a TechCrunch article down I don't know I was looking for a different thing now I'm over that one okay uh-oh you know what I really want to talk about sure forget it I don't feel like talking about that okay um so I hooked my yeah um the title of the stream yeah yeah um I'd like to know before I sort of explain why what's your gut reaction he's six he's six to six um I'm not I'm not a father I don't Intendant being a father mine does matter but I'm still judge Internet it scares the heck out of me to be completely honest so part of the big part of the problem too is I feel like when I was growing up the internet was a little bit more divided there was like porn sites and then there was the rest of the internet it was a little harder to find the porn sites it was a little harder to find them and like mainstream websites didn't effectively have it all over the place or at the very least extremely sexualized content where it's like maybe there isn't nudity but we all know why you're here that's everywhere now yep and the rest there's tons of other stuff internet that scares the hell out of me too in terms of a very impressionable small child that scares me yeah if it was just a call and texting plan situation mm-hm sounds like it may be a good idea but the internet scares feet that is a very interesting perspective here's an alternate look so my wife and I are Yvonne I guess most of you know her name so we actually talked about it a fair bit so one of the reasons that okay sorry I want to throw another job but there's other obviously positive parts the internet as well he could share location if for some reason he's ever lost automatically automatically believe it or not I can just check his location right now Oh see like that's cool yeah and like it's like that kind of stuff is oh yeah what's not yeah I'm not gonna show it yeah I was just making sure sometimes hey I'm sleek on-stream updated eleven minutes ago that's exactly where he's supposed to be right now yeah I'm like that's awesome huge amount of peace of mind like it's just so there's there's the great part and there's the that's scary kind of part but overall I don't think it's a negative thing that you give him a phone so I would not judge it that way I was convinced that my kids probably weren't gonna get a phone until around the time that I did which was when I turned 16 if I recall correctly okay which admittedly was probably pretty old fashioned like yeah when the newsletter came home when he started school like real school not preschool when he started school and the newsletter came home with like a cell phone's policy I was like this elementary school what do I need these kids have cell phones for so the thing that made me come around to just approaching the idea and that sort of opened up the discussion with the wife was that I'm gonna start taking him with me when I travel sometimes okay just so that we get to spend a little bit more time together when daddy's traveling that's cool cuz did you travel a lot that's cool yeah so I want to start taking him with me and if for whatever reason we got split up in an airport or whatever I don't want to have a phone like period because there's like it's really funny like if my phone battery is dead or whatever else iris must have been a couple months ago I was running around the superstore trying to find Yvonne in the kids cuz they were shopping and I was doing a thing that I used to do where I would walk down the entire thing looking down every aisle to figure out where they are and you can still miss people because they could be like in between aisles as you pass through or whatever else and I was like it has been so long since I've done this because if I ever don't know where Yvonne is and then I find out yeah and so I was like okay just for the sake of location I'd like to know where he is sure also a really cool and interesting side effect has been that I have ended up talking to him more something about text communication especially while I've been traveling so he actually texts me all the time okay that's cool and without his own means of communicating with me how was he supposed to do that yeah and it's not like I don't still talk to him in person when we're in the same room but you know if he's on his way to skating lessons or something he'll just text me and be like on my way to skating lessons gonna have fun hope your days okay that's pretty freakin cute oh jeez alright and it's pretty it's pretty neat because you know I can you know text back be safe and and all that stuff let me know how it went you know send me a picture of they were working on this homegrown Crystal kit thing well that was easy yes like hey send me a picture of the crystals and like it's really fun it's interactive it's all the reasons that we like text communication why it's completely taken over the world super wholesome um another thing is we have put all of his relatives in his home book so he's just like staying in touch with his family in a way that I just didn't do when I didn't have my own couldn't way of communicating because all that you had was the landline which when I was a kid you shared with your internet connection to we'd be playing games dude which was which was lame yeah no games were cool but having them shared yeah yeah um now in response to the Internet I will say this because of who he is specifically I'm not that worried about it if I say don't go to any website other than the websites that I say hey I can whitelist sites like I can actually go that draconian if I need to but if I say don't go to any web sites other than these ones he actually wouldn't now that might change as he gets older he might get a little more defiant little devious um but I mean there's other stuff too there's actually no way I tried to override it I cannot there's no way to install a full YouTube app on a Google kids account oh so he cannot watch my videos this is what I was gonna say those like even really mainstream sites like YouTube there's stuff on it that was like you know can't get to YouTube okay yeah like the eyes you bring twitches bundled in with that well he can't install an app without it pinyin me to improve it but it couldn't you just go to the website like YouTube's ah no I doubt it okay I can I can I can I don't know anything about the kids I can double-check that but I'm not that worried about that I think it's very unlikely the other thing too is I get a report of what apps he's in what is web browsing history is how long he's been in ReactOS meantime I can do it day by day so he's spending some time in whatsapp and apparently someone let him watch Netflix today for half an hour I can just like lock it I can just lock him out of it I can set the hours of day that he's allowed to access it and I don't know it's it's one of those things where it's actually been really cool to see him learning how to communicate digitally because there's stuff that there's like texting etiquette things that I kind of take for granted like it's adorable he feels like he has to reply to every message you remember that yeah okay cool I was I was someone brought up a runescape the other day and I brought up that I used to have such a hard time playing my game because the first MMO style game I played and every single time I walk past anyone all communication then was speech bubble above your head yes so every single speech bubble I saw ah I thought they're talking to me so I would like walk up to two random people having conversation to start replying out of nowhere I was like that versus how insufferable by gamers hate kids so much yeah pretty much for me I'm like but then like I remember what a little like okay so Diablo 1 not realizing that there was no godly plate of the whale that was purely at Reynard item I tried to convince someone that mine was legit at some point and they're just like look the server says no trainers no hackers get out of here I'm like no no this is real it's mine it's mine there was that was not a real item like so dumb anyway so I did it I'm really happy that it's been a positive experience because to me that would be a pretty scary thing yeah that's cool I intend to keep an eye on it I don't think he's even opened a web browser yet it hasn't even occurred to him he mostly just uses it too oh no I know when he watched Netflix he watched it this morning before school because I didn't feel like getting up yet that was my bed he mostly uses it to whatsapp his relatives which i think is pretty good so seems pretty wholesome yeah yeah um so I think that's pretty much it for when show we'll see you guys again next week same bat-time same bat-channel that was a wild show and yeah like we can play the insurance oh wow we didn't you know what let's do it now outro oh wait wait oh we should really do some super chats hey bad idea also yeah there's still tons of questions coming through holy crap go
