Linus Tech Tips Live Show Archive - April 19, 2013

2013-04-20
get realize welcome to the Linus tech tips livestream featuring the one the only you me what is your name let's look yeah yeah that this guy on Twitter her actually looks like I could be pointing anywhere I have a really really weird birth certificate really slick PC yeah so we've got a lot of great topics for you guys tonight and knock on wood there should be no technical difficulties because we I think have finally pretty much sorted out our entire streaming setup including our microphone we're actually finally using our high-end camera can we can we knock on like every piece of wood in existence before the stream just just crashes randomly because of something out of our control yeah actually you know last week last week was a little bit rough because the issues were actually caused by my internet just deciding that it hated its life and that it didn't want to help us stream to you guys anymore so that was super disappointing are you going to be running on battery throughout the entire livestream there yep oh that's not gonna work turn the mic down turn the mic down no nobody doing this is the first time anyone's ever said that yeah but apparently we're clipping oh yeah we finally figured everything out on the live streams perfect and remember murmur nope hello how's the audio guys how's everything working is it good is it bad everyone's saying no I don't know what no means mic is good makes good it's fine that's good well apparently the volume was really good we're getting conflicting answers here don't turn it down to quiet too quiet turn it back up keep tuned it like a look can you use hearing a little bit back up not really it was like it's almost back to where it was okay okay well let any rate we don't have to talk that loud so uh uh uh here we go so what should we start with today we have our hands on a galaxy s4 which is pretty exciting for those of you who don't know the galaxy s4 is Apple's first foray into the Android Marketplace so previously Apple was really on sort of a locked-down a hardware software marriage type of configuration where they really didn't believe in using open source software like Android but they have done a complete reversal Steve Jobs has risen from the dead and come back to lead the company into the bright horizon that is Android I was just seeing if you were paying attention because I'm pretty sure it took you a while to figure out what I was so what we're actually going to be talking about is first impressions of the s4 so I I don't think have you spent much time with the hands-on it's none okay so for those of you who haven't seen it already there's a video on the Linus tech tips channel where I was at my briefing on the s4 with Samsung where they showed me the ins and outs of the device and there were some things that I thought were somewhat trivial that ended up being a far bigger deal once I had it explained to me correctly and it's not just like explained to me correctly like hey Linus where's your back pocket I got a hundred dollar bill here I'm just gonna slip that in there and give you a little pet no it wasn't like that it was hey Linus you know that feature where the screen works even if you don't quite touch it well what about what about this mr. Canadian over there what about when you're wearing gloves and I'm like oh right because when I first heard about that feature where you can control the touch screen without actually quite touching it I was like oh boy who needs that right but then all of a sudden like oh that's right so now you can actually interface with the device even when you don't have your your hands well I mean you'll still need hands that would rather be a good thing mind you you were telling me about that gamer who plays without hands yeah Oh should we transition to that now don't worry we'll make it back to ask for its on my it's on my list I'm gonna grab the s4 we're gonna jump into the thing no no no we'll talk about that later so just gonna talk about him I think his name is look no hands although it could be some other variation of that you just hit your head on the light that's kind of funny but no one saw it but he his hands are messed up so what he does is he presses the controller against his face to control the game and he plays called the duty and stuff and it's actually pretty awesome he's got videos on YouTube and stuff check it out it's actually really cool and he's actually legit by the low swings pretty good too crazy I mean he's not like good like 10 to 1 kill to death ratio but he's good like pointy to one he's good to the point where you wouldn't like if you didn't see his name you'd have no idea that he didn't have hands which is kind of insane so I got my hands speaking of hands I got my hands on one of those intel beanies they call them here in Canada we call them tooks show your face mask ring but the the way it fits is a little funny it almost looks like cuz if you fold it up the you don't really see you don't really see the graphic and then if you don't fold it up then it actually ends up covering your whole face so the crazy Russian suggested to me that this is probably the best way to wear it how do I look it's fantastic it looks like a really really crappy version of ghosts sweet and doop the skulls off this goes off where turn it to the to the right tip a right your breather and I write your right how's that that's a little bit better but now the milk is a little bit off so do the bottom a little bit there you go we good okay will you give me ten bucks if I do the rest of the livestream like this if you do the entire rest of the last room like this ten bucks let's see I would say yes but that would get really old not only that but I can't read and I can't see like I actually can't see through this thing so anyway guys if you didn't if you didn't hear about it before until it was giving away beanies if you got a 35 70 K or a 3770k or whatever else but one of the twitch chat members would just like to inform you that it's an improved on your look oh thank you thank you for that um anyway so back to the s4 so okay right so I was more impressed than I was expecting to be now one of the things that pictures really didn't convey well was the build of the device give me rest to you for a second you have it on you right so the s3 feels like honestly weight-wise they're probably very similar they haven't gone the the iPhone 5 route where Apple basically went yep we're gonna make our phone weigh almost nothing and it's gonna feel like space-age in your hand because you're like whoa the the s4 weighs about the same as the s3 just sort of holding them but what it it feels a little bit more solid I think part of it for me anyway is the fact that the sides are more square I know you guys aren't gonna be able to see this perfectly by any stretch of the imagination but the s3 is very curved whereas the s4 has more of a flat side and what I find is that for me personally I'm able to I'm able to hold it more naturally without it without it slipping past me this is one of the things I like about the HTC One where it has kind of a a bit of an edge on it so you're less likely to drop it for me it's more natural to hold a device that has flat sides so the ergonomic changes although it's not really apparent in pictures do make a difference and it just feels a little bit more more solid than than what we've seen in the past from from Samsung and I'm including my experience with the s1 and the s2 right and the s3 another cool thing is of course you've got the swappable back plates which is something the HTC One can't do which gives you that microSD expansion the removable battery as well as the the option to change your backplate so it's something like an HTC One they're taking a very Apple like or approach where every HTC one will look the same except silver or black the batteries really beast though one of the main things that I like about removable back plates is you can pretty much with every single removable backplate you can change your battery yes and that's helpful in case your battery Bork's or just sucks but they should see ones battery just seems it seems to be just kind of awesome like what was that you played music for homem yeah for like six hours that day and then I had like 35 percent left at the end of the day which is kind of like on speakers which is sort of ridiculous yeah like it was easy to find him because I could just follow the music okay so anyway it feels more solid also they have removable backs that are going to integrate wireless charging which takes about three times longer than non wireless charging but from a convenience standpoint honestly if it wasn't so expensive it's the kind of thing I'd look at and go y'all buy like three of them and then just leave like one on my work desk one on my nightstand and one in the car I don't know like some work where you basically just put your phone down don't think about it and then it's charging which is very cool honestly it's kind of criminal what they're doing with the accessories as far as the front covers goes there's one that has a window which is neat because it uses magnets to know that that's the front cover you have on and when you look at your phone you can check notifications just through the window and because it's an emo LED screen it doesn't have to light up the whole thing so it just lights up that one little bit and conserves your battery but they want an extra 20 bucks for the window version and I'm like really twenty dollar plastic window they're just like okay I thought it was just a cutout I didn't even realize there's a plastic well there's a plastic window so it's like the premium like cutout option but as translate actually works yeah which I was floored by I was expecting it to be one of those ladies yep works phenomenally well I did a couple test runs I don't speak French particularly well but I can read rudimentary French pretty well like enough to know oh yeah that's what it says we're a hundred percent with a couple test phrases that I did with it the the new eye tracking scroll the page thing is it actually work really well you know what it's the kind of thing where I kind of looked at everyone oh yeah this works because what it does is it locks on to your eyes and then you tilt your head like this to scroll the page so it's the kind of thing where it takes probably about two and a half seconds to lock on and then if you kind of go like this your pages got going woo until it until it disengages kind of thing like oh yeah it works but would I use it mmm probably not yes so the other one that was kind of like controlling it without touching the screen where I looked at it and went really does this matter was the the motion gestures and I didn't obviously think about it enough but it has a motion sensor in the front which means instead of relying entirely on the front camera which would be a huge battery hog you can gesture at the camera say for example if you're in a meeting you can turn on a gesture where you put your hand over it you kind of use the force and it comes up with a little thing that tells you if you have any missed calls or missed messages or whatever else so being I mean I'll be ok there's there's other gestures like you can go like this to change the track and you're actually no no this was a good one I was about to make fun of this one but this one's good so if you driving you put it in a cradle on your dash and you go like this to change the song to the next track that's cool I'm just like oh ok that's kind of nice yeah and there's one to answer a call so it's it's one of those things where I look at my kids actually illegal to touch the device at least formulas so now you don't have to touch it now you don't have to judge it kind of go in front of it it's like no officer I was just waving at my phone I talk with my hands yes hog and I was talking to myself so I had to wave in front of my phone do you remember that do you remember that driver that we saw today there was this woman yeah I don't know what she was doing but she was driving your car and it's like one hand I think on the wheel like there are their arms like up like this yeah and I'm like what so it kind of looked like she was either sort of conducting the music she was listening to on the radio or really getting into like an animated aggressive conversation because she was kind of like yeah I'm like a bluetooth thing or something why are you doing your try you're operating a motor vehicle ad like this ten and two men make it happen okay okay so I booze is cool because it gets me away from having to use third-party apps for I mean I think probably the big one that everyone really really likes is the quick access to all your on and off and like the third-party apps are cool I'm using power toggles on my HTC One right now and you've got a bunch of options and you can have up to eight icons across the top but this one's kind of neat because it doesn't only control all of the standard options like Bluetooth GPS Wi-Fi but also things like sbeam smart stay smart scroll like the eye scrolling and then smart stay is the one where it it doesn't it doesn't dim the display if you're still looking at it all that kind of stuff so you can turn all that on and off at will they also include little tutorials which I thought was cool from all of the Samsung exclusive features did you I just saw something sorry give me a sec guys hold down oh you had a huge bar of options what options Yeah right here I think that's cool yeah so anyway so yeah there's a huge all the options that you could possibly there's a button on the top right and you can drop down all the options so with with my s3 and a whole bunch of other phones currently you have to get another app if you want to do stuff like that yeah that's cool their whole Knox thing bring your device to work is fully supported on this one I believe there was something that was asked for exclusive all my notes from the meeting are upstairs but guys expect me to do some videos on the s4 over the next little bit I'm going to an asus event next week we've got some really exciting projects we're working on for tech quickie right now that are taking up a lot of our time oh man the one for the if you guys are following on Twitter you probably saw pictures of like this Frankenstein funk ms3 Mouse I think it's on the camera yeah you want to run and grab it because it's like actually kind of Awesome so so we were working on a cool thing where the funk ns3 Mouse is we're doing like the making of the funk ms3 and it's gonna be kind of obviously a parody because no one at Linus Media Group is actually on the funk staff and responsible for making this Mouse but it's the first time we've ever actually brought in outside actors to come in and play roles in our videos and it's going to be super professionally done so that's odd that's really really exciting so she's falling apart a little bit it doesn't zoom that much okay do you want to take them on a little tour through that make sure you speak up all right so I added a bunch of key caps here just random things just random things that I thought might be entirely not useful on a mouse so so I pried these off the keyboard and just kind of stuck them to it you can see it's literally just two sided tape that's why I said I just had to do some minor repairs and some of them had completely fallen off and some were kind of way off by a little bit oh that fell off completely I stuck a few random capacitors on top of this on the right side of the click and then this had a little circuit board that had a cable running back to the mouse wheel which is kind of zombified on the back as well as another cable running along here and then - and I shoved just a whole bunch more keys on this side so there's more thumb keys here more thumb keys here and then this one at the bottom is actually stock and we had it another key right here so there's actually a ton of zombification on this I wish this right here was still there because that was actually really cool there's a little circuit board that ran a cable into the back here that looks quite cool I'm not sure where that wait but we were just using double-sided tape for everything so it kind of fell off yeah there's our is our custom Linus tech tips edition funk now so take from that what you will is there anything else we can even say about that project other than the video should be awesome yeah the video will be awesome I was pretty amused that I had a couple people on Twitter that seemed to think that the mouse was real yeah and we're actually giving their feedback on it as a product like ah you know I don't know if I'd use that at all man I totally buy that no no that's not an actual product it was just it was just a joke I told you you made it too relooking yeah because I told him to make it stupid and he actually put like a bunch of stuff that was actually looked like it could possibly be useful like it's like really but it looks good I know it looks good enough that people thought that it was an actual product so that should be that should be all you need to know we're gonna move the livestream yeah yeah so the Friday the Friday night timeslot this will be the last one we are moving the live stream to our Monday afternoons probably at around 4 o'clock so the rationale for this is that it'll be it'll be nighttime in Europe it will be kind of like evening in Eastern North America and it will be I believe what morning you know Australia and that is where most of our viewers come from I mean look I'm so Kay for all of those of you who are not in those areas I am incredibly sorry but the numbers are the numbers and we do see the numbers and so we have to go with a timeslot that a works best for the majority of the viewers and B works a little better for us because honestly at the end of the week it's pretty tough to do these Friday night late-night live streams and I'm sure he's getting diced the look on his face he's getting destroyed in the twitch chat right now I'm sorry guys there's nothing we can do about it to be perfectly honest I mean it's my wife's going back to work she's been on maternity leave with the baby so I can't do them on Fridays anymore actually like period cannot and evenings don't really work anymore so yeah I'm sorry guys there's a lot of people have said it too it's jack I know I know and I totally understand but I mean I always said this timeslot was temporary and that it was going to be moved from like the very first or second one and it lasted a long time but we will have to move it but we will still be uploading the archives to YouTube speaking of YouTube we are now activated as a twitch YouTube network partner so it finally went through and that's done so apparently that's actually like because before sorry just completely jumping away from what you were just talking about well actually of timing in Australia's like not so good on Monday I guess that would be Tuesday morning right when people go to school and work because right now it makes it Saturday morning for them right anyways it's not like we really have a choice I mean yeah we actually don't have a choice at the front if we could do it on a Friday that would have been better but the problem is that you know slicks love life has really started to take off and all the ladies that watch our show have been lining up to get a date with him so if you want his plenty of fish profile now people are gonna go on a wild man hunt for some plenty of yeah and they're totally gonna find it I'm sorry dude I don't have one he says you're really bad at winking huh that was terrible you're really bad at winking we can't all be talented at everything Oh oh man I have other talents that make up for it you wouldn't understand I'll tell you about it when you're older um so Nvidia is gonna be giving away Metro last light with DJ 660 and up the arms race of free video games with graphics cards is just getting pretty heated and isn't it about time yeah I mean how long was it that we were getting like John woos stranglehold and like some like racing game that no one cares about I'm like come on you guys where are the triple-a titles it was more back then it was more like what game isn't gonna sell so we don't have to worry about these people not actually buying it anyways we can give it to them for free and it won't reduce our sales and it won't actually matter because no one will actually care and I'm tired of that mentality this is great rewarding people for buying the hardware by giving them something to actually play with that said I mean Nvidia's usual mo is sort of one game bundle every quarter or so and as much as Metro last light is going to be a huge title that's going to be a really big deal I don't I don't really see it as that much of a response to AM DS never settle strategy it's still a little bit more aggressive than some things I've done in the past sawsan he was kind of huge yep Batman Arkham Asylum Borderlands 2 they've actually been on not a bad run they've been ramping up of triple-a titles yep but then ambe's like it was like nine times eh we'll give you three triple-a titles don't worry about it and then they're like oh yeah you bought some stuff before don't worry about blood dragon that's cool so I mean AMD has just been crushing it when it's come to free games speaking of AMD our 7990 should be in transit in theory so hopefully we're gonna have some videos for you guys at launch of 7990 which should be part of the current never settled which I think includes is it BioShock Infinite right now and something can't remember anymore flat tub but anyway there you go so Metro last light is going and that's cool so I'm gonna go adjust that camera again because it sort of is funny you're kind of bare and I'm kind of here and then there's like lots of space over here so I want to introduce scoot find one of your cool topics that you are supposedly contributed to how do I even I don't have control of this of course it's this keywords so small tiny baby hands that's an inside joke people won't understand for a while um judge voet Verret I'm not sure how I pronounced this judge something held themselves in contempt and paid $25 for his infractions so basically what happened was he had a new smartphone and I started shouting out voice commands while he was holding court and instead of being like oh ah doesn't matter I'm the judge doesn't matter I can like I can screw other people over for that but nope it's fine he held himself in contempt and charged himself 25 bucks that's awesome well that shouldn't be normally and that should actually just kind of be what happens all the time you can you can correct yourself it's fine I'm leaning over it doesn't always kind of happen that way people don't always kind of hold themselves at fault if they actually do something wrong there's a good chance I wouldn't even think of it if I was if I was that guy like I I'd just be like oh crap my phone Oh oops bloop yeah put it away but nope held himself in contempt paid up 25 bucks I think it's pretty cool it's actually really cool I'm like the Internet's in love with them he probably gained it a huge amount of respect that's worth way more than $25 now more than 25 bucks I mean yeah and you like you contrast this with the millions and millions of dollars that have made their way to somewhere to get sistah pushed through and you just kind of looking at it going like you know you gotta I mean it seems like there's so few people in power who actually try to play by their own rules that you just have to kind of whenever one person does it it's like oh yeah it doesn't happen it's like an oddity which it it shouldn't be but but it just kind of is it just kind of is so that's both awesome and depressing today all right what you got what else you got oh yeah we're half an hour in we've done 0 Twitter Q&A I'm sorry you guys should we take Hey this leads into the topic that you had ok we will talk about packs in a bit yeah there's a parent you know what let's talk about it now ok so much for Twitter Q&A so pax prime sells out fast was it 20 minutes the PAX Prime four day before day tickets sold out in about I don't know I don't think anyone actually knows the actual time because of just how is there grush that got the tweet from from PAX Prime went out 23 minutes later but there's no way that they tweeted that out anywhere near the actual so it was probably like 5-10 minutes I'm after announcement that four days sold out the final ticket was sold just under six hours after announcement but those like I think it was an hour after announcement all that was left was Monday only badges and they moved this year to four days so it's like the last day where some people have to like go back to work and stuff right oh it's like yeah that one's obviously not gonna sell out as fast as the other stuff so it's kind of ridiculous um we know nothing about media badges we know nothing about media badges I haven't seen anything go up about media badges I have a badge cool so slick we'll be doing our entire Lynas Media Group average of PAX Prime single-handedly this will be my ninth year I will expect you to hold the camera in front of yourself like this and be like the FS I think my duck lips would really work that way if you shaved it might help it's like furry duck lips is even worse than regular duck duck lips come on let's see give us your best come on oh you got to be a support for the left I can't I can't do it 2,200 people tuned in to watch YouTube where people's do not want to see free look free duck you know what twitch chat let us know let's see let's see let us know if you'd like to see slicks free double do not Ducks die do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it do it slick please do it do it yes duck let's do it do it come on let's go here we go no I saw one no that's all I saw wasn't good enough that man speaks for the entirety of humanity right now could be a lady that that that person speaks for if it's a lady her viewership should count more because we have less of them anyway so PAX Prime sold out and we have no idea what's going on as far as whether we'll be able to be there or not so there you go we were we were really expecting to at least have some information about media passes even PAX East this year there was they talked about it a lot more I might have missed something I've been looking for it quite a bit I know PAX East it was fairly transparent I haven't seen anything yet about PAX Prime if you have seen something please measure its message me on the forum so we can figure that out sure yeah let us know because I totally might have missed something okay here we go apparently northernlion LP and Linus tech will be streaming at the same time on Mondays I'm sorry to hear that that's bad we might have to look into this last ream time yeah more I mean we haven't completely decided it's just that looks like the time that will actually work for us we can't do late Friday night anymore yeah that is not actually a boss that's done this so so next Friday there won't be a live stream at all next week there won't be a live stream at all and the following week we will kick off our new live stream time at whatever time it is we'll try to figure something out right now though it's looking like Monday Robert says first time watching a live stream live because of a nut job on the loose yeah Momo I heard these I thought he's in custody yeah I last I heard he was on a boat and they were chasing him so there's no way he got that far oh yeah I saw a headline that said one dead one in custody but oh I could be wrong I mean I think there's been a lot of conflicting reports so hopefully you guys won't you guys want sort of twitch toes as they go yeah okay there you go so apparently they got him and good oh he was hiding in the boat okay so they weren't chasing his boat they just found his boat yeah that's good being a boat but don't move the boat it's very smart I mean that's these are the kinds of people who blow up innocent people because they're obviously brilliant glad they caught them at any rate you know go internet and all of the you know data analysis that went on I don't know if it ever had led to anything but read it had a huge thing going on on pretty massive had more like a few who's kind of cool uh Chris go ham asks should I build a gaming rig now or wait till III well there won't be anything new at e3 so make of that what you will what mind you mind you has balls gonna be launching around that time saying someone's already mean for it oh maybe he doesn't mean for announcements maybe he means new games I mean there's lots of new games now lots of games to play right now so if you're waiting for new games wait till November yeah but don't wait till November to buy a PC but don't leave me five months honestly I'm just there won't be new graphics cards between now and the end of the year and all likelihood unless it's late in q4 if you've got something good I would wait till has well if you're dying I would just get something else get something now from what we've seen has wells not gonna be some kind of you know Conroe thing where it's like we go from like Dark Ages computing power to way more I mean if you I mean honestly it's one of those things where you can look kind of look at it logically and go okay you look at Intel's die diagram of it and go alright well the actual CPU die area didn't increase but it's got a like a really big like graphics core now so if you're planning to use the onboard graphics on has well then wait for as well if you're not then it would still be a little bit better but it's probably not worth the wait better than playing on a console yeah speaking of consoles except for Super Nintendo how's that first yeah except for Super Nintendo which we still have to do that is my ultimate segue of the night into the next gen Xbox I don't know much about it but I know you need some add-on for this retro actively playing game so there's that oh oh fire it up there and we're gonna do our new thing oh I'll fire it I supposed to do speaking of fired you're fired for what for not firing it up on a segue role that's a really five inch one okay that's like way was fine say going into fire me you have no grounds to fire me for that sake we're all though come on that was awesome terrible it was awesome oh this is the wrong one that's not the one I want I want the yes I want the VR zone rumor okay so go go go okay so VR zone is claiming that the new Xbox 720 will be requiring you to buy a mini add-on to play older games now with the original Xbox 360 they gave you backwards compatibility with Xbox games but my understanding is a lot of the time it just didn't frickin work so there's that most of the really really triple-a mainstream titles did work but with a couple notable exceptions honestly I'm gonna play devil's advocate here and I'm gonna say I like this approach what do you think I don't know I don't really care dedicate okay okay imagine that you cared imagine that you actually were gonna spend 250 bucks yeah it's hundred fifty bucks 150 bucks so it's basically a lot of money that's kind of brutal okay it should be able to play backwards parallel linkage that shouldn't be what do you mean by should though this is an x86 architecture it's completely different from the Xbox 360 okay that actually does kind of makes it's not like oh I'm upgrading from Windows Vista basically so basically it would increase the bomb cost by so much yes that it would be nice to have it cheaper for everyone and then if you do actually want to play back with federal stuff you can add that you do actually want to play old games and you don't actually already have an Xbox 360 which is kind of funky if you won't play old games you've probably already got a nice Westar six I mean yes I understand the convenience factor of not wanting to press a button on your receiver to switch the HDMI input but for my projected trading value from trading in your old xbox that's true that's true you don't get trade-in value mind you it's cheap enough at a hundred and fifty bucks to me it looks like they're not taking a bunch of margin I suspect what's actually inside it if this rumor turns out to be true is basically just an Xbox 360 because it couldn't cost much more than 150 bucks to basically build an Xbox 360 now one thing don't scream anymore I don't think attenuations working Oh everyone was like oh God might use sorry about that so I don't think we're sigh xbox360 something something something well I think how much how much resale value do you think you could get for trading in xbox360 I have no idea cuz if you could get like a hundred 100 bucks if it's a hundred bucks just trade it in and buy the thing right so it's one of those things where I look at it again you know what it's not a bad solution because if you're giving them so what it'll do is they'll make it so you don't have to okay ugh rumored allegedly it'll make it so that you don't have to have two separate HDMI connections out so it's kind of like a pass-through which will lead us to our next thing so you can play your older games and you can not have two boxes and you can unload your old xbox360 and because what I suspect they're doing is they're basically just putting a small Xbox 360 in it the compatibility should be better than a clergy solution like what Sony implemented with the ps3 originally right is this okay I might not be ready with this Xbox 720 always-on right that's rumored to be not necessarily true it's actually in this same article on the Arizona but I mean everything's very much up in the air right now so the latest rumor will require separate add-on may cost a few gold coins however there's something something something yet the rumor is that it will not require an always-on internet connection to play games locally but we'll see and more importantly Microsoft probably won't be blocking the playing of used games on the new console which we will see about I have no idea how true any of that is if that's not true if it is always on so we're taking some kind of leaps and bounds here which might not ever happen if the add-on thing inherited the always on yes then that would be terrible that would be brutal I'd want my old Xbox 360 but exactly but this is very possibly know anything worth talking about so whatever so speaking of pass through the verge had an interesting article about Microsoft's plans for the next-generation Xbox taking over your TV is sort of there they're the sensational half of their otherwise not that sensational headline because interact with your cable box is probably more like what it actually sounds like they're planning to do so similarly to Google TV your cable box would go HDMI out into your xbox which would then pass through to your TV now it's going to depend on Microsoft having relationships with the content providers to even be allowed to circumvent whatever HDCP whatever else is going on with the HDMI signal but the plan is to inject a layer on top that would be something like it could be marketplace it could be more advanced to guide and listings for TV shows it could be additional content Netflix whatever else it'll inject on top of what you're already getting with your set-top box I mean I suspect a lot of it will only work in the u.s. particularly at launch but yeah I mean could something like this make the Xbox part of your living room even though you have no use for a console from a games perspective I don't watch TV yeah what do you do play video games and I program but I don't have any time because I work so much right okay fair enough the other thing that Microsoft's looking at is how to make the Kinect make the living room experience more engaging so things like being able to track multiple people at a time being able to track my movements so if one person looks away movie paused which is the kind of thing where I locate old on will Don could be like settings though who knows how advanced the next generation Kinect is so maybe the next-gen Kinect is so advanced I can go only positive I walk away yeah whoa that would seriously be think is like your sister is sitting on the couch and goes looks at her phone and my lady's like well I don't want my movie to pause and my immersion to be destroyed and my I don't watch movies i watch I said I don't watch TV watch movies so much trolling so the immersion level being reduced and everything it just destroys the whole space pausing a movie sucks yeah you're causing movies sucks well except when you're the one who has to pee then you should have gone beforehand sometimes you drink a lot of beverages here water today over a span of about an hour and a half and then in between like every shot oh please like Oh a scotch you're exaggerating don't pay a lot there was two shots in between there all right let's thank you I guess if you if you add the tape yeah shots because we don't count takes you only count of shots moving on to some more Twitter Q&A I know there will not be a live stream on this coming Monday great question and it's too close to this one I don't think it makes sense it'll have been like three days and it'll be no weekend what do we possibly expect to have happened why will it not be on Saturday or Sunday why is the stream down I am so sick of Windows Live Movie Maker like cutting this thing together it takes so long what the actual hell is going on here it's better go hello apparently back hello so hold on let me just check the xsplit recordings let's see if it if it split it apart 233 Meg's apparently it didn't split apart so there you go I have no idea what happened there that's someone telling you is transmitted yeah I'm sure it is someone else that I'm gonna be blocking on my phone after hand roids awesome it has a lock feature so all I had to do to to get rid of any of the people who were calling or texting my phone let's just click block and then I actually don't hear from them anymore so we were worried that we'd have to change his number because he got yeah trolls but I don't worry I actually it was just a few people that were obnoxious and they're all blocked and so I think that who knows they might still be trying to call but I don't even know so yeah there you go um question here why will it not be on Saturday Sunday because we do have lives and he has a baby guys like like sacrificing my time is one thing you're not actually at this point I don't even care about sacrificing his time I don't care about his time at all you're sacrificing his baby's time man so yeah I'm not a fan of babies some people might know that but as a dad you still need to spend time with your baby so this won't work I actually work Monday to Friday and I actually work a lot more than 40 hours a week outside of the live stream so I'm actually not gonna be doing it on a Saturday or Sunday so I mean thank you for the suggestion but that is actually not gonna happen when do we get to see the new offices we're not gonna be moving for a couple months I think it's like 3 to 4 M and Southeast Asia sorry one thing that we can do I haven't pitched this Alliance at all so this could be interesting is we can grab all the time slots that are a possibility throw them in a poll on the forum sure this won't happen now oh god of course you're going bad it's ok I'll just shut them all off after then block them it's not gonna happen now I'm not going to do it now so don't rush to the forum now don't bring it down yet we'll save that for Bill blogs but sometime this weekend maybe after this dream or something I'll jump on or I'll jump on will make a poll in the forum news section or general sure you'll see it because I'm sure it tons of people will post in it and will post all the time slots that are even possible for us to do and then let people vote sure someone asks about South America aren't we important you guys are in the same time zone as us what do you want and everyone's important we just like honestly baby like I said before ah if you're gonna use the s4 how about the Android 30-day trial I'm gonna finish out the HTC One 30-day trial the s4 demo unit I got has its own sim in it so I can play around with it without interfering with the 30-day trial some cars are coming up with integrated wireless charging put the phone on a certain place on the dash net charge that's very cool that is really cool and that'll probably be one of those sticky pad slots - very very very maybe you know that thing diesel keeps talking about every once in a while where it can project images onto your windshield yeah for like GPS maybe they'll have the wireless charging and sticky pad right where that is that would be so be so awesome that would like actually be the sweetest thing ever I don't know a lot about this if you want to know more about it tweet diesel the intern he'll talk to you about it yeah he knows he knows all the things I'm pretty sure he follows every news show I swear his room must have more monitors than mine and mine has a lot and they must just like multiple reddit pages like every single news show that's actually casting right now every reddit page Oh Oh check this out did it when you weren't looking we have okay so someone someone helped me capture slicks duck face oh yeah you actually actually didn't hold on a second hold on a second I'm not even actually a duck hold on I got to share this with I got to share this with everyone just a second just a second I don't I'm not gonna look hi twitch chat add screen region let's just add this whole screen so I also it's lagging so there's pretty much no point you're doing this because it's lagging so much there we go so there you guys have it that is slick scratch boom you just dropped it just drop what it's dreaming how could it possibly go down oh no they're almost laughing at me there we go you look fantastic this is this is why we like you cuz you're awesome alright so let's go back for those of you who weren't with us earlier I challenge to slick to to give us his best dunk base so stream will keep on legging for 20 seconds or even go offline for a minute or two in what situation we I don't know seriously guys get a camera slider your advert video we have a slider we have slider shots in the Seagate wireless plus video we have slider shots in the upcoming video we have a slider hello from Toronto it's late here how high do motherboard manufacturers prioritize the ITX segment of the market quite hard what thank you yeah since when there won't be anything at lunch yeah but they still support it yeah they still scrum well I mean Asus has a high-end ITX yard which is like these gigabytes ITX board doesn't overclock still it idx a sousou's one is boss hey SUSE this one is like being and there's a few other that are really nice yeah for a weird subcategory like that that's pretty supportive what is it no no it doesn't matter it's all good it's just that it was that well no my head's cut off that's okay because these will explain to me that it's okay to cut off someone's head as long as you don't cut off their chin oh yeah zombie is there something I'm gonna go back to leaning okay what were we talking about well yeah we were doing Twitter Q&A I hate you guys like the g7 10 plus yes a slice and one thing that pretty much no one knows is it comes with black o rings under the key caps yeah very cool which is like an aftermarket mod type thing they're not gonna be see that little o-rings under every key cap that make it quieter by the way don't just pull your key cuts off do it with a proper key yeah yeah what are you doing man what what I just wanted to give a shout out to your farms that helped me pick upgrades to improve my stream great community awesome thanks miles and hopefully you continue to go there well we transition to better Forbes cause currently they suck yeah that's not no no it's okay I hope it's coming soon it's hopefully coming soon ps4 is only gonna be able to play ps3 stuff only through the cloud not on the console itself so if you have not very good internet which was I'm sure what this viewer meant to say there you go interesting speaking of ps4 and streaming games over the internet let's talk about that Sony thing oh ok where is this let's pull up the thing right right right I believe Japan is rolling out two gigabit internet which will bring fiber directly to your house and then each house will need its own something box that I don't know the name of that will convert the fiber - oh and you box that will convert the fiber to proper Ethernet so this was a news story submitted on the Linus tech tips forum by and vrb 747 and the the most obvious question that I've heard from people is what could anyone possibly need two gigabit internet for most computers these days come with a 1 gigabit connection in the back - which I would reply well guys lots of households have more than one computer now so your links are horrible you're so bad anyways you have to weigh with your whole face I can't otherwise oh yeah i legit can't oh yeah I've like a condition it's called not able to wink itis it's the only way I can sorry Mike that was probably about so so anyway so VRB 747 thank you for contributing that to the new section of the Linus tech tips forum guys do check out the new section it's gotten to the point where I think over the last month or so traffic in that section has about ten xed which is which is outstanding because it's turning the Linus tech tips form into a great place to go to check out the latest news by the way it goes in the tech news and reviews section not the forum news we should probably clarify that at some point I'm probably gonna lock off forum news clarify it like but make it so that people can't create new topics because realistically you're just supposed to be commenting on topics that are already there right but that will probably change to forum forum news and announcements or something like that so that it's more clear maybe okay Wilfredo but that section is not actually for news from the community I'm not done talking about two gigabit internet so basically Sony is going to be bringing fiber right into your house for the low cost of what are they charging fifty bucks a month fifty or sixty or something fifty or sixty bucks which I saw a few people in the twitch chat go like oh but it's that expensive man we paid that much for like no and cool internet like 15 megabit down what is it 512 K up or 1 Meg up it's it's might be 512 K up I think for like the $60 plan punch ah yeah so like that's incredible depends where you live maybe you have a better situation let's continue our conversation from last week would you cut off a toe for two gigabit internet for which two people - yes middle toe do you even need that one don't think so would you cut off a middle toe like which okay hold on I'm gonna make it gruesome though would you like consciously without numbing cut off your middle toe what if it was free for the rest of your life but then that won't be that high performance but you'll be high performance for an awful long time two gigabit internet on fiber is going to be low latency and high performance for a very long time when it's scaled would it scale let's say gales it scales but say it scales you would cut off your middle toes use their baby would look at it is there a bandwidth cap bandwidth cap let's say no maybe I like like like you have to use like bolt cutters really yeah why are you making this song it has to be gruesome what's not like just hold on oh no just just but okay there's there's a there's trained medical staff next to you ready to go would they put me out right after I do it I'm pretty sure you put someone under if their toe is missing I don't think so really yeah why we probably just locally because you might go into shock look last day okay whatever they're gonna do whatever they need to do I'm not a medical professional I don't know not at all so don't mess about bolt cutters on the toe would you do it for two gig Internet now in its scale see I would like to say yes right now but honestly I think a lot of people say yes outside of situations and if you actually sad them down in like here are the view I will get the bolt cutters you'd probably have me in a barn in like a metal chair in like the most gruesome creepy situation making this sound really bad you'd probably why would I have you in a barn in a metal chair okay why did you have to take it there why didn't you take it there no no I mean like I meant like what's his name I said there's medical profession what he likes to play a game what's what's is would you like to play a game that's his tagline there's multiple movies Chucky no horror Eason maybe mine I don't know saw twitch chat knows switch head knows every the chat does know everything I saw saw you've heard of sorry I've heard I've never seen like to play a game yeah it's all creepy and all messed up and I feel like you would have that weird creepiness messed up factor but you'd get two gigabit internet out of it but I think by the time I sat down I might I might chicken out but I would like to say yes now I think there's a one-time fee to actually get it into your house that's probably pretty rude which is probably pretty brutal but I mean sort of that sort of life I think you have to subsidize stuff like this a little bit I think we're an awful long way away from Canada reaching this level of Internet connectivity but the reason I did segue into this is that this level of internet 2 gigabit per second low latency fiber it would be capable of streaming games it's coming but the place that has always had the fastest internet has it and nowhere else has it and it's gonna take so long other places to transition but you look at look at companies like Nintendo and Sony these Japanese companies how many cares do they give exactly that only Japan can use a lot of the technology they build yeah none yeah zero so that means there will be customers for invidious grid technology which is their cloud-based gaming so remote gaming service so there will be customers there will be grids being deployed it will be a real thing very soon I am interested to see how many massive outages there are because it doesn't matter at all what back-end you have every single big launch in so long as a failure launches because no service can support it okay well would it be any different than already it is then it's gonna be worse you think so ah apparently there's are people coming home so a fairly large group of randoms just pulled up um but it's it's way more serve power because they have to do all the graphics rendering on their end right that's not that won't affect Network doesn't matter the server backbone will not be able to do it all right well no we're even close like the graphics power to power all that it's gonna be not how few people are gonna have two gigabit connections though are those people gonna overpass I think there will be a slow ramp don't have time Japan they're gonna have time to build like 40 supercomputers on top of each other there's gonna be nuts I think I think we're far from it like very far from it because of graphics power you and I can agree to disagree the network backbone is definitely there you're right but graphics power for all those people it's gonna be nuts because people are gonna be like okay I'm playing it like five frames per second this is retard pay more get more frames Oh oh wow free to play when you connect it's super slow so you suck or when you connect it plays that like 480p or like 320p right I mean you emigrate through a premium account to make you look fit or like an uber premium account to get more graphics horsepower and then maybe maybe it's you're actually accessing the server so you pay like monthly fees based on how good your want your connection to be and you get to play all your games at that or it's coming though don't do tons of stuff that's it will scale it will be just like the most bizarre has not reading thing I really helped them manage the graphics power it would help them manage the graphics power can have Network yep of course both of them I think Ajay qual 260 P 480p exactly and for some games it wouldn't matter we tennis who cares yeah yeah okay so here's a big thing Fox oh I forgot to put down the link for this one okay well crap I forget where I saw this link but Foxconn has settled with Microsoft over Android licensing fees so this is fascinating because the rumor has it that the because Microsoft's already settled with a couple guys and the rumor has it that Microsoft is extracting as much as 10 dollars or more per Android device in licensed software licensing fees how many cares does Microsoft give about Windows Phone 8 at that point honestly I'm sure they care they care but like oh yeah you guys are making folks good job good job cuz we're up to what was the new number one billion total Android devices shipped to date was it was it today I thought they said they were going to ship a billion this year okay it's why I don't think it's gonna be a billion this year that's a lot I don't remember what it was anyway some things would go something to do with a billion and something to do with about over half of Android devices are apparently being tacked on with Microsoft licensing fees according to a Microsoft rep so there's that so if they sell another billion within a much shorter period of time look the way sales are ramping Microsoft will be collecting exactly that many billions of dollars just for sitting on their butts watching Android outsell everything else I've had I've had people say 1 billion by the end of the year and I've had people say 1 billion to this date and I've had more than one person say the 1.5 million activations a date which is nuts Wow because that means what Microsoft's gained 50 million times a day for not making things well no less than that because they were saying more than half so let's say seven and a half million dollars a day still for not actually making anything that's no R&D but they haven't already done years ago right no tooling of the device do they care if they don't sell surface because they Microsoft was actually this tied in to one of our other topics from last week which was the report that the PC was dead and iPad was killing it and PC sales were down 14% and then a report came out this week but Microsoft's profits were up something like 14 percent or 17 percent or something like that I can't remember I don't know we don't have it and I don't think I've ever made it to our stream outline but I'm kind of looking at it going yeah I don't think they actually mind if not too many copies of Windows 8 so so just like Microsoft will survive that's something we've learned they'll be fine they're figuring I mean they're figuring out content distribution with things like the Xbox music app store they're figuring out gaming in a way that I think Sony kind of forgot so they're figuring out that they're figuring out finally I mean they tried with media center PC that was 2002 XP media center no no the PC will be an integral part of the home to the living room environment here we are over 10 years later and it looks like the next-gen Xbox might actually finally get there but they've been determined that's they're gonna do it so they're finally getting to that point I'm not worried for Microsoft media center PC was pretty cool but like how many people you know that had one right so one right yourself to do my parents and my then girlfriend's parents so it's because I am right that's pretty much the same experience it whatever bad places that I put it in that's the only places I knew it exists cases that I put it in and then went and helped them fix it over and over again yeah oh I gotta restarted again oh it's windows we should do what times we should do the rest of our community news item see ya community news items here we go so for those of you who haven't seen this this is friggin awesome why don't you why don't you here let you do this one Josie from the forum posted odd the the X bit labs article about the 7990 Malta being of available through an eBay sale it is prohibited to sell engineering sample items on eBay and just in general it's not really okay so here I'll let you take over I'm just gonna go find out who that is that's probably before all of our stuff goes missing and we can't make videos anymore anyways so this guy puts up a seventy nine ninety Malta on eBay and expects it to actually work or he's trolling I'm not really sure either he's he's an idiot or he thought it would be funny I think that's really all that is left of that but yeah it got up to how much let me check this really quick guy on the floor I mentioned it ninety six thousand one hundred dollars from IP changing or charger that's that's insane I brought that up with - earlier and he mentioned that it was probably someone trolling they weren't actually gonna pay that much I don't know I think that might have been legitimate which is terrible because even if you make a review of it or anything you're not gonna make back anywhere close to that amount of money like nowhere even remotely close to that amount of money not even not even on the same scale like you couldn't way those against each other and the funny thing is unless you're a reviewer unless you have some kind of a hookup you can't get drivers for it yeah you actually won't be able to run it don't we embargo lifts I would hope that that guy would at least give you a driver with things I'm gonna be it ships with the USB Drive and I have one nope no usually they don't and you've seen how they distribute no I know through yeah like an FTP your $96,000 must have been a joke I think you could give the guy frickin a flash drive for his $96,000 speaking of engineering samples we are officially has welled up we can't put them on anything yet yeah we don't have a motherboard you have speaking of not having the drivers to run the hardware we don't have the motherboard yeah look it's a champ and the top is kind of silvery colored lower power you know how many times I've done this where I've just been like holding the new CPU knowing that actually I can't do anything with it it's like every generation the chip always arrives first the asus thing that i'm going to should hopefully have some details on their side but so far I haven't heard anything solid from any motherboard guys I think MSI's got boards lined up for us gigabyte said they're gonna do their best to have boards lined up for us so we have all the haswell's actually that's one of the four that arrived in the mail for us people are saying open it but like these ones are so boring they're white box you guys I mean what do you want here hold this for a sec sorry I know you switched it yeah don't worry we're on this okay here we go as well this particular one is a 46 70 K there you go comes with oh my goodness a sort dining stock cooler that looks exactly like thermal compound amazing pre-applied revolutionary cool on your face Oh ma'am I got it on my face okay that's all right okay so there's that okay what's next it's revolutionary I know changes everything this changes absolutely everything again changes the changes again the changes are changing on a logarithmic the fashion the innovation is amazing chip beautiful pads on the probationary I think this is all low time it doesn't change how many times have we seen this that's been done respect for a while oh that's probably a pretty solid indicator it's down oh this is frustrating last time it just revived itself so we can maybe the the epicness of has well we're saying Intel was like nope yeah the epicness apparently we're back so the epicness of has well just destroyed the live stream because some employ it in tones like smash laying the hammer down there's like control all of the internet but yeah we've seen this time and time again it never actually changes we're talking a couple percent here and there this chip has been finished for months essentially let me put it that way like the kinds of tweaks that they're making in the months leading up to a launch remember Intel sets a launch date like an actual day like months in advance how could they know that it's gonna be ready that day because Intel is not like some you know cheesy software company with two letters in their name that starts with CNN's and a where they're just like release date if it's not ready release it anyway Intel does QA like that a long time ago it's just over and maybe if they send us some pizza with our next game but anyway I mean it's been done for months which basically means that the chip that they're testing is pretty much done and it also means that whatever board which has pretty much no logic left on it now that the chip itself is integrating the PCI Express controller the memory controller the vrm the Regulation modules which was part of our topic last week that we skimmed over a little bit that I'm gonna launch into here there's not a whole lot that the motherboard actually contributes to the performance anymore besides just providing a conduit for traces to go to like the memory slots so speaking of has well there was an AMA on reddit a number of months back where an Intel engineer said it would be an overclockers delight and I think a lot of people assumed that that would mean that unlike Ivy Bridge because Sandy Bridge was a great overclocker Ivy Bridge had better performance per per megahertz then Sandy Bridge did but it didn't overclock as high so they ended up being for all intents and purposes for overclockers equally performing platforms I think a lot of people assumed that that meant Haswell was going to overclock like a bat out of hell again but what he might have actually meant is that due to the integrated vrm you're gonna be able to buy a cheapo motherboard and you're going to be able to get the same kind of overclocking performance as an expensive motherboard which by the way two motherboards running two chips at the same frequency I don't care what board it is are going to be within margin of error of each other in terms of performance when it comes to overclocking increasing the system performance it only does it if you can get more gigahertz a trend that we've been seeing lately that you actually picked out a while ago is that people are building really really high-end systems and I don't want to put a ton of cards in them because they're just going to graphics card oh it looks good I don't want to touch more cards you leave it how it is I don't know no I don't want to touch it um listen I always put in sound cards and he's got a raid card great cards with eight SSDs on it and I'm just like yes my cable management isn't perfect but you know what I actually have Hardware in my machine like we enjoy putting Hardware in our machines so Wow so anyways I'm wondering I wondered I can't even talk to me that was ridiculous I wonder with hassle if we're gonna see a lot more card heavy machines cheap motherboard throwing a custom NIC throw an awesome sound card by it via one $19.99 board buy a proper sound card proper I don't know like what a like I mean SSDs are at the point now where the onboard controllers are not able to keep up with multiple SSDs so if people want to actually get the most performance possible out of their storage system they may need a third party RAID controller speaking of which for the longest time people would ask me is there any benefit to read zeroing SSDs and having run everything from a hard drive to a cached solution to an SSD to a better SSD to a better SSD to an 8 SSD array in my personal machine over the years I would always tell them actually no what really doesn't make any difference I was wrong because I mean ok yes it makes a difference in benchmarks not much is clear but I've had people ask me day-to-day do you notice a difference and I didn't notice when I upgraded to my 8 SSD raid 0 array and it didn't bother me that much when my personal rig was down for a long time and I wasn't using it but now that I'm back on it I'm like oh yeah it actually makes a difference I watched some some program openings that were ridiculous like he runs a fairly decent SSD you've got an octane 256 right which is not the best SSD in the world but it's good it's a SATA 3 SSD it's not a bad Drive but it's just like it's it's the responsiveness I didn't realize what was missing until it was taken away and then I was giving it back and I'm like oh ok right this this is good speaking of which my personal rig is a hundred percent up and running now the only thing I'm missing is cosmetic I'm missing the glass panel for the side window and then I'm also missing little grommets to cover things with I can turn on right now that's not my personal ring the RAM is oh no no I put g.skill RAM in it oh yeah and when you finally bring the server back from NCIX I wanna be able to deck it out it's doing good things right now yeah I know ok I just need that RAM yeah for my rig all 64 gigs of it was 48 in there yeah but I have 16 ok in my in my rig right now yeah that looks like what we're both we talking about oh yeah we wanted to do the rest of the news items so here's our here's our next rumor so this one looks pretty interesting we're gonna hopefully we actually what's going on oh there it is all funky we actually know nothing about this yeah but good bytes contributed this news topic Wow eight hundred-pound advice contributes a lot to the news section thank you goodbye thank you good bites you are the man or lady person guy dude dude is kind of both no one says dudette yeah no three people also say guys yeah hey guys reference to entire groups of people good bites is one of good guys one of several good guys regardless of gender and I mean you know what hey genders not so much just like an on/off switch anymore there's that sort of that whole gender spectrum discussion so good bites good individual good human or even multiple people I mean schizophrenia is a thing good good well unit organism or you're a great organism okay let's settle on that from now on okay technically right I think so because he could be multiple organisms if he has a parasite inside him yeah anyway what is politically correct can you talk about this anyway so in videos releasing some new GPUs allegedly allegedly we actually have no idea the first I heard of this was actually good bytes post so so according to the post it won't be Maxwell next-generation but rather a refresh of the Kepler series which makes sense because like everyone else Nvidia seems to follow that Intel tick-tock strategy where it's processed shrink architecture change process shrink architecture change so we've got Kepler now may be a process shrink reduction of heat and power consumption maybe some more overclocking Headroom some bud fixes and performance improvements which all makes sense for process shrink all in all I'd expected gtx 780 to be 10 to 15% better than a 680 just guessing but maybe 20% better maybe it over clocks a little better maybe as lower power consumption all this makes sense however go ahead the main thing I'm hoping for is no plastic extensions yeah I don't want full pieces no ego extensions on them you know what's funny is have you seen a reference 77 90 because we didn't have a reference 1 when you were doing your testing I have knowledge it has a long PCB but like 2 inches of it are just blank honestly it's still really bad I'd rather a PCB than the most attention but it's still like that you know so what I'm hoping if this does turn out to be Nvidia strategy is that someone launches a completely new architecture because AMD as far as I know has been talking about the end of this year something going on that's another rumor allegedly we don't actually know for sure but if they launched a completely new architecture that could put Nvidia at a bit of an advantage for the next few months but then at a bit of a disadvantage in the in the months following that I mean especially if AMD can launch something in time for here's an article on it on PC / by the way there's the fuds illa link so we can go check that out I mean Fred Zilla take it all with a grain of salt it spuds illa yeah I actually met Fouad for the first time at CES 2013 really yeah I ran into him he's a super soft-spoken I was surprised yeah I was I was hanging out with Josh from fractal oh cool and and fudo knows him apparently they go way back so they were talking sense food Oh didn't have no idea who I was of course so like one of those things do you even know who I am I had - tech tips from YouTube you can't give me a ticket on YouTube exactly don't you know where internet-famous means I walked through a forest once and chugged hot sauce oh that was painful that was by the way the red bottle was hot sauce me Ashley did it was like not you know it would have been smart to put something else inside it I did not think of that like legit did not think of that so we've got two more very important items coming up these are gonna be our featured build logs of the week so slick take it away Desert Storm Desert Storm was the first we're not logged in so why don't you talk about Desert Storm will I logiss in Desert Storm is an awesome tribute to just picking the right color scheme parts and like envisioning your build before you do it and then sleeve your power supply properly and just having something that looks so much more than some of its parts without putting like way too much into it so this is a like great looking computer it looks absolutely awesome hopefully Linus can actually log in so I can stop stalling stalling for time as I talk about how the computer looks good there we go so he picked like a Desert Storm II kind of color scheme you know what I'm gonna zoom out a little bit that actually looks better as you do there we go so everything kind of suits it all looks good you can tell it was find out beforehand nice a tough tough series board selection so screws board the right color vengeance Corsair Vengeance memory looks good that's great looking sleeping that he's got on there where she fdpc X yep I wouldn't mind seeing things a little bit tidier in here but honestly mine's not much better so I can and it's still pretty good can't criticize team I noticed that too actually but it's still it's not bad it's not bad at all at least it's sleeved but you can you can get your groupings a little bit tighter than that there's a great job on this leaving look how even that is yeah it's it's not quite as good on the power supply but people won't see that really yeah mines ghetto on the power supply just cuz it doesn't really matter yeah yeah so you can see it's a little bit more choppy there but just as we both said earlier doesn't matter what he's got some really nice photos I really like that one this one this one 3 Coolermaster v8 looks really cool cooler master v8 I don't think gets enough credit No very cool looking it performs alright it's not a bad do you think they really build as well because it's kind of heavy oh there's the money shot yeah so he so he he must have planned it out he must have envisioned it beforehand he picked the right parts he sleeved his power spine it just looks really good yeah this is the kind of build that is very doable for you know someone building a new rig that I mean obviously you need a bit of a budget to make over here like that but it's not one of those crazy like you have to own your own like water cutter to do like sold your house and bought a few machines and some tools and some parts and built a computer so it's which we're not saying is a problem no no no of course that's yeah that's why don't have it not at all except my confusion I think this one is just that's the psychedelic machine it's called it's nuts i I'm gonna let it kind of speak for itself once we get down here a little bit so he's picking some parts access PC displays okay yeah so he's just installing lighting there and this is car lighting that he just adapted into molex plugs okay that's doable it's just 12 volt yeah I know so you're starting to see the kind of crazy color scheme coming in okay so we got red on the red green on this bit of tubing right here lord only knows what kind of coolant he's gonna put in here or she all the fingerprints on the power yeah almost done oh it paints it black wood paneling it's it's he's like you know he brought into it's it's kind of easy to work with like it looks sharp okay okay panels not on yet red mod on the pump red and black sleeving more green tube in alright is that the the Aqua our alpha cool it looks like it cause I see the film in the middle look at that coolant the reason why this mainly got in here is his awesome custom wood panels right and the fact that is just absolutely nuts absolutely like pants on head ludicrous look at this he's intentionally left extra space at the top of the res so you can see it for us so the water can pour in which makes it louder and more obnoxious but I don't think louder and more obnoxious as a problem it's probably going for that it's probably going for loud and obnoxious here it's it's awesome it's looks like a cool build you don't see stuff like this at all the phobia UV LEDs are better they have much higher density so if you're out there oh we didn't even say who this who contributed this build Oh Slayer 677 not quite 66 not quite it's not actually better than that one he's just a slayer one more than that but yeah if you want to swap those up for the phobia ones they're quite excellent I actually encountered tubing that glows like this or a coolant that glows this strongly once and it was it was some weird brand I can't even remember from like Germany or something I still have a bottle of it upstairs it glows like nothing I've ever seen before been saving it for sort of a rainy day so that's just absolutely wacky tabacky I don't even like its nuts there's no more but it's just I build this crazy love it so love to see these kinds of awesome builds guys don't forget to post in the build log section of Linus tech tips forum for a chance to be featured on the live stream which gives you the self-satisfaction once what's the new forums up we are gonna be looked at I haven't you don't even know how much I've talked to you about this but once the new forums up I'm doing this so whatever man yeah well it's the new forms up I'm gonna look into custom badges and stuff so you can have them on your profile whenever you post it'll show on the side and stuff so you have a little emblem or a badge or something and we'll have like News contributor news contributors bill blog guys just like different awards that you can get so there actually be something to show for now you get a brofist you get a brofist and wind speed has a sticky at the top of the bill dog section with everyone who's been featured oh okay cool and that post gets fairly frequented so that's pretty cool yeah that's a great way to show off the the hardware I mean it's one thing to work really hard on someone and then like your sister and your like your friends are like okay really that's your computer it looks like disco they're just like oh you don't appreciate this they're like yeah no we don't so it's it's great to have someone who actually appreciates what you've done look at it speaking from experience okay why don't we I think our last news item of the week is a bit of an ongoing thing right now if you go to Diablo and comm we're gonna link right here to the Eurogamer article about a gamer who's been banned from twitch dot TV so uh slick you want to cover this one do you even have the live stream no I'm trying to deal with something else that's going on right now so no I do not cal cover it um okay so basically this gamer who's a Diablo 3 gamer who's gone by the name of zillion Opie has was pretending to be paralyzed from the waist down he was pretending that he was stuck in a wheelchair and couldn't walk in order to in addition to his game streaming which presumably his streams were decent otherwise I doubt anyone would have really cared that much it was often him and his girlfriend and sometimes other people so it was kind of a group of them yeah so they'd all go together they were streaming presumably bizarre right he asked for money to get a wheelchair I asked for money to travel to move in with his girlfriend asked for just generally money there's been an estimated 20,000 dollars donated over the time that he's been running this little scam just sort of asking people for money because of sob story boo-hoo-hoo I'm a wheelchair-bound gamer I mean I I suspect there's a lot of people who game who are in wheelchairs them is there's people that are legitimately disabled yes that are trying very hard to make it and are trying to stream and they enjoy it and there's communities built around in a camera the name and then there's this butthole this is this just pretending like look no hands that guy's amazing right a guy that's blind who does Let's Plays he's done a whole let's play of ocarina of time it's amazing that's incredible there's tons of all these different people like that is awesome and if you donated a whole bunch of money to someone who plays call duty without hands because he doesn't have any or someone who plays Zelda because he's blind that's cool like you're cool actually have a disability so they actually are not able to do other things necessarily as well as or as easily as other people it's like yeah that's cool but supporting you know this guy and I'm not saying it's the fault of the people supporting them don't take it the wrong way but you know someone like this asking for support is just the most offensive kind of wrong like how must that feel if you were one of the people that were like you know what this guy's cool I want to help him out because it must be hard for him right now and donated to him and then you figure out that the guy is a scam so in a clip of the incident the the player is shown leaving a game in progress by standing up and glancing at the camera he doesn't appear to rise entirely straight but seems to be walking unaided yes here's the the miracle clip hopefully don't like it oh no it's oh yeah sure so he rolls in like you guys just saw audios on so so he rolls in he's target for a sec skips to the end takes off his headset and whoa those legs look like they work a little bit so his girlfriend's trying to tell him in code that he left the camera on and so the excuses were he pushed off his chair and he said he and wiped out which I really don't think happens no I claimed the dog knocked over his water bowl onto a bunch of cables girlfriend later claimed that he was going through physiotherapy but it hasn't been working very well and apparently you can even see I don't I haven't been able to see it but and see he puts points the camera down so that he can get back into his chair without anyone seeing him walk into his chair which is brutal like it's just so the Internet's not impressed with you sir not impressed with you at all in happier news if we jump away from this our folding team is doing great in the chimp competition if you haven't heard about it check the postion of challenge chimp challenge competition jump on the forum check out the post are members of our Foley team not everyone but a few members of our folding team has joined forces with overclockers dot-com I believe sorry for the bad information over parkas calm yes so we've joined forces with them because it was too late for us to sign up with it for as a team and we're not actually big enough yet but we are one of the fastest growing teams so we're thinking about this time next year we should actually be big enough to compete which is really crazy because not that many teams it's very new yeah and yeah it's our team's really new so yeah go help them out the chip competition like honestly you're just pushing for a good cause like it's a fun competition gotta help everyone on the plane there are no losers yeah so that's extending that guy in wheelchair because I'm actually that jerkface can walk hopefully we don't help him yeah anyways yeah but yeah check out the competition Whaler one of the mods in our forum that manages all this kind of stuff is building a 4p folding system which is just gonna be absolutely insane he's gonna be making a post about it soon but his folding setup is just monstrous for p4 the record doesn't mean that it facilitates urination it means that it has four processors I think that's it for our topics for the night though hmm yeah I know so we're just gonna do a little bit of Twitter oh you know what actually we're gonna close off the livestream here because we've noticed that people aren't really watching it for yeah we'll be back so we'll be back for afterparty but we are no longer going to be uploading the after party segment to YouTube so to do that what we're gonna have to do is cut the stream for a second and it'll be right back we'll be right back give us a moment thanks for watching tonight everyone who's tuning out now or who's well we have to do an outro because when people watch this on youtube there has to be remember how many people complain that night run we didn't say goodbye right bye bye everyone watching on YouTube and everyone that's live lets live on twitch will actually film a subscribe favorite share what else can you do is there anything else you can do you can give us money for a wheelchair that we apparently don't need my legs oh please don't do that don't watch any videos that
