okay everything's done sorry for that awkward beginning I just wanted to make sure everything was correct Linus isn't here and we weren't perfectly on time which disappoints me well usually we've done a really good job it's partially my fault I will take blame for no it's actually Liza's fault because when it's you and I were on time yeah Linus is in the building and he may take over yeah it's because we waited for him that this is late yes that is fair yeah anyways beyond all of that kind of stuff gonna be a great show we have some fantastic topics some that will make you sad some that'll make you happy you might cry or not I actually had a little emotional moment when I was writing the show notes yeah it's it gets pretty deep anyways we're gonna talk about galaxy s 9 possibly coming in February we're gonna be talking about Intel possibly doing steep cuts to the Intel Inside Program and what kind of show would it be if we didn't at least address the net neutrality buzz this week as well as Disney's giant 54 million dollar acquisition of parts of fox twentieth century fox just by the world just by it all anything that makes media buy it then you own all the media the Walmart of Hollywood hey I didn't write it I saw someone else wrote but I like it there we go boss yes Tesoro Tesoro Tesoro in fresh books yes book yeah it's slightly harder to move the little sources around on OBS and in xsplit not much but slightly that's like a Coke or Pepsi thing hey yeah yeah most of the comparisons between the two are like pretty major that one's that one's a little open MCI first topic we're gonna talk about is title to being done Zoe's so you have some specific comments on here yeah but one should go and you should go first so okay it would probably know a lot of more about this that I know Kay so I actually don't know about the like title to specific stuff and I don't know a lot about the exact implications I have a lot of ideas of how companies and how people are going to react to things and how it's going to affect things but I don't know the word of the law and I think this is actually I think you echoed the sentiment that a lot of people have before we get into like power maybe we just explain what happened so yeah in a three-to-two vote the Federal Communications Commission or the FCC Declassified internet providers as a title to common carriers situation now in my opinion it seems like the entire world thinks that tomorrow you're gonna have to like pay to use Facebook I don't think that's gonna happen I I think it would be interesting if they went super hard and just wrecked people immediately because that would probably get it read thrown over super fast but that's not what's gonna happen it's gonna happen slowly before anything directly affects users I think the first things they're gonna happen is a lot of like kind of inside industry deal kind of stuff making Netflix pay them so they can actually distribute their content properly blocking content of certain people on on different ISPs or on different devices or whatever so they can push their own products that are similar yeah a lot of that kind of stuff is what I suspect is gonna happen that did happen in the past one point yeah exactly got reprimanded yes but as okay this is where I could totally be wrong as far as I know this was in place to try to stop to make it easier for the reprimanding to happen and this being potentially sort of gone now the title 2 thing is gone now not the entirety of it I know that makes it easier for them to do those things and not get reprimanded huh as far as I understand so everybody likes net neutrality there's like I don't think there are many people maybe actually know some people maybe these businesses but like I think we can all agree that nobody wants to have a situation like the one you're describing my problem is how this whole issue is being framed like all the articles today like The Verge in particular it's like the FCC votes to kill net neutrality net neutrality is done like the world's over and there's no distinction being made that like actually net neutrality isn't over it's just title two that's over I don't think this debate really and the FCC guy who always gets quoted like the evil guy I don't really think he's evil I think he's just like answering a different question the question has been framed by the media as do we want net neutrality where as the the question that's actually happening with our being answered with this vote is how do we want net neutrality to be enforced and they've decided that title 2 isn't the way to do it and it comes down to the two different ways that you can regulate so they're the one approach is called ex ante which is regulating something kind of proactively so mistakes don't happen and that's a really great way to do it when the stakes are super super super high where if it's like if this nuclear bomb gets dropped the world's over so that cannot happen I think I think it also imma let you finish one thing I'm gonna drop in is I think the the stakes being super high is a little bit of a perspective thing there's a lot of people that are running companies like we are both through linus media group and floatplane media that could be severely hurt here people could lose jobs people could blow a livelihood people could lose entire companies that could in some people's opinion and their life so agreed agree there's some scale going on there but yeah I will let you continue now I agree with that but I think that those things can be thwarted by the other type of regulation which is ex post which is when you you're more reactionary with the regulation which is what we had before prior to 28 15 prior to the title 2 which is where ISPs would try to do stuff like promoting their own products first and then they would get reprimanded for it and then after that happened no other ISPs would make that mistake again so yeah there's like people's livelihoods on the line but then regulators step in and slap their wrists and/or sue them or whatever and then it seems to be enough and the reason that you even have to make the choice between one or the other seeing as the title 2 version seems way more safe is because in theory it costs a lot more and that would in theory kind of put a damper on innovation and we want innovation because we want there to be better broadband tomorrow than today but then there's also the situation where like now I'm jumping into something that's not in the notes and I don't have the exact name for but people talk a lot about how the American populace paid through tax dollars huge ludicrous amounts of money to get fiber laid out and then nothing was ever done with it I've done some research on that that's not exactly how it worked it was actually way worse what happened was the telecommunications companies of whatever sort were able to put a fee like government is okay with this fee on everything and that fee was supposed to directly and solely contribute to the rollout of fiber across all over the place and it's easier to do it in cities but the city people would have to keep paying the fee so that the more difficult places would be developed that was part of the idea that has not been acted on at all and that fee is whoops I'm broadcasting my screen and that fee is still going on and as far as anyone can tell there's no intention of that ever becoming a thing anyways so I don't think there's when you talk about the inspiration to innovate in somewhere like up here usually you have like two options or sure maybe three maybe probably not for 2-pam where you live there are technically some places of Vancouver where you can get like a lot of different isp options but it's really uncommon out here usually you get to its tell us or Shah in a huge percentage of the states there is no option you have one is B there is no incentive to innovate not because they can't charge more they're charging a lot for one Internet is extremely expensive in America and for two they have this freaking snot attacks but a fee thing that's put on all of their charges that is supposed to directly be like the American government being like here innovate and they're just not doing that it just does because they're like here money pocket no do anything sounds good so I I understand the like you need to be able to charge more so you can have money in the bank so that you can innovate from a company perspective like for full plain media for example the fee that we take like if we ignore the the amount of money that goes to the creator which is not a thing they're getting money for doing work that's how that works but our fee some of it is to cover our current overhead in terms of staff and in terms of like building and chairs and tables and computers and whatnot and part of it is so that we can have a little bit of extra money that we can put in the bank then we can sit on that little bit of extra money and if we need to buy a piece of software to enhance our service or add more troubleshooting or if we need to hire another person we can go like okay this is fine we have this one here we can innovate in this way we can spend the money making the thing we can do the thing that is important but they've already had an extremely great example of that which is that consistent fee for every single person in America that have subscribed to a Internet service as far as I know and they're not innovating America still has like actually pretty bad internet you go to like anywhere in Europe or pretty much any Asian country that I've been to and you go to like hotel lobby Wi-Fi and it's like holy crap if I could have this as like the dedicated line into my house I would be so happy it's not like it's just a factor this size though like I think that in some of the urban centers in the States it's as good well not maybe it was like Japan level but it's there's definitely wrong yeah just not consistent across the nation you can get gigabit in some places for sure and you can get gigabit in Vancouver even as well and it's not just Google Fiber that is definitely true but there is also a lot of places where you can't where you absolutely should be able to and most of those places is where there's no competition usually where you actually see something like fiber is because these telecommunications companies haven't been able to sue a small company into the ground and forcing them to not be able to compete mmm which is a thing that has happened a lot in the US and there's definitely like like if you look at somewhere like Taiwan most of the country super easy to get internet to it's a fairly small island essentially mmm and you can network the whole thing it's it's a lot easier to do than like Canada but Canada's problems are almost more understandable than Americas because we are so spread out but then at the same time if you look at Canada's population across the map it's like empty empty empty empty empty empty empty empty empty this is the border to America empty empty empty empty everyone is like right here so we're all kind of in a thin line and like population centers it's weird whenever I hear people talking about the u.s. when they talk about more than one significant city in a state because it's like almost not a thing up here we have like a couple provinces that have more than one city that are like major but if you think about outside people everyone's got to what other city in BC Victoria uh it's like okay the definition of major yeah is different there's a school and and there's retirees Calgary and there's Edmonton yep there's Montreal Quebec City yep there's in Ontario the buttload yes like but it's it's like barely st. John's in quarter Brooke Alex walking by with his maritime er Nova Scotia law knowledge there but it's just like we if you're trying to run networking across Canada you kind of have like a corridor to the blip like laughs here's a whole bunch of people not very much use a whole bunch of people not very much there's a lot of that going on there is obviously some that's not true situations where cities like much higher up like pottery anemones yeah and and whatnot but it's like it's not impossible and luckily up here the the fact that there's almost always definitely not true for all situations but almost always to ISPs fighting we've seen quite a bit of innovation Shaw recently tried to screw around and say that they were sending fiber to people's homes when they are actually sending fibre to the node and then copper to the home so Telus was like no we wrote actual fiber to the home and then they took like a whole bunch of market share because of that there was a little fight going on between them we need them to be fighting exactly I don't know but like you were saying this is not necessarily the end of net neutrality this is its title to status yeah I basically said my piece cuz I really don't know that much I don't want to look like fool yeah I I have heard that the FTC the Federal Trade Commission is the entity that ought to be regulating this type of thing not the FCC no but I think it's just a big question mark they're just like will they do it right yeah I don't I don't know the America has so many different government agency things and we're just Canadian in it it is yeah you drive down here to yeah exact American and schooled in law yeah I don't know it's it's an extremely complicated situation we're probably not the best ones to talk about it my thing is I have an odd amount of information about like the things around it like that weird fee thing and also the kind of but I don't know the word of the law I don't know what actually like happens now that it's not title to because I barely even understand what title two is I'm gonna take the position that everything's gonna be okay we hope yeah yeah we hope give me I it could be really bad for us up here so we're just we're just hoping that everything sort of you know survives down there it's it's always interesting Canadian because so much of what happens in America is extremely important to us so like I know of quite a few Canadians that pay attention to American politics more than Canadian politics not only because it's far more crazy are our major controversy if you want to see like hilarious Canadian politics our major controversy of this year I think was elbow gate was that this year I don't know oh wait a second yeah yeah II like bumped into the yeah well what about there's local issues there's a big dam that they just made it's like a big deal yeah it's twelve billion dollars but we don't have someone tweeting to another like nuclear-armed so it's not only you know any little fireball can be huge not only is it more animated down there I'd say but everything that happens in the state extremely strongly affects Canada and we often foes and basically picturing Trump with like Triple H's hair and like tassels from his elbows coming on to this on to this bit on W yeah he's walking on to the Candace now with a microphone like I've been sitting backstage listening to you run your mouth Oh John cracking some beers together I guess speaking of crazy cinematic experiences like that Disney to acquire 21st Century Fox for 52.4 a billion dollar per billion I'm stoked on this really kinda cuz a lot of people are you're gonna be the contrary in this dream that is fun that is good like antitrust concerns the concern here I don't I'm not entirely sure what defines that so maybe but I think it's just like their their Disney starting to eat everything up and it's kind of scaring people a little bit well it depends on the scale you think about because on the other hand Netflix is eating everything up and they're gonna and they have been just steadily raising their prices and like they're taking over the only thing that TV is good for now is sports so when Netflix is all that matters because who cares about prime video or Hulu hey man they got a Lord of the Rings series coming on prime video they're doing they have the Grand Tour there they're trying but we need competition right yeah yeah and I think we also need TV to die so I think I kind of like what it what Disney's doing here to make it clear for everybody they're not just straight up buying 21st Century Fox they're buying the majority of their properties so what's not included and is Fox News they're not allowing Fox News they're not buying the Fox broadcast network they're not buying fs1 sports cable channel what they are getting a bunch of stuff including The Simpsons homeland this is us Modern Family that's all the Fox television studio stuff yeah yeah they're getting television studio stuff which includes 36 different series which includes those four things I just said they are also getting the regional sports networks which is a big deal oh yeah so Disney has already announced plans to introduce to streaming services by the end of 2019 they already own ESPN so they're gonna have ESPN Plus but which is coming in the spring but ESPN Plus is now also going to have these regional basketball something that so out yeah so that's actually huge because like you said earlier TVs of course there's other things on it but TV is very heavily for sports not only for the only reason the other things are on TV is because they're bundled with sports often yeah yeah so like that's crazy and and regional is quite important that's really cool the second streaming service they want to offer is built around their other properties like Disney Marvel Lucasfilm and Pixar they haven't named that streaming service yet and it's but it's gonna roll out late that's why they were pulling the Star Wars series off of Netflix yeah it's gonna go on their own and on top of that Disney already owned 30% of hooli weight I always mess this up because the Silicon Valley yeah they own Gavin Belson's company who they own they owned 30% of it but now they're getting more through this acquisition so they actually will have a majority stake in that the other people who own Hulu are Comcast and Time Warner I think among others and that that streaming service is more for adult audiences or grown-ups boring stuff ABC shows yeah so there's interesting yeah they're gonna have a lot of streaming services it there's a quote here from Bob Iger who's you said it's like their highest priority going direct to consumer is their highest priority would you think about it is a crazy cultural shift an organizational shift for Disney who traditionally they've had this content and they need to pimp it out to as many distributors as possible so that's very horizontally integrated now they're flipping that so we have this content and we're going vertically stripping the in being the district distributor and giving it to the consumer that's like that's an ambitious and like legacy defining thing for us well we're trying to stay on top of it one of the scariest things for a company like this is becoming that old company that just becomes behind the times yeah so they're trying to stay on top of it it I've run full plane so this is a little bit of a contradictory thing to say but while it might not be feel great to everyone to have another streaming service that they have to pay for to get the content that they want it's it's gonna be interesting and like maybe it will maybe it will mean more stuff I have no idea hopefully that's true it's gonna be sweet though because the thing with Netflix it's like there's a bajillion things on Netflix and then you go to watch Netflix and you're like there's nothing on Netflix there's a bunch of like low-budge documentaries b-list movies man I like low budget talking sometimes like it's obviously getting better but like for the longest time especially in Canada it's been direct now there's gonna be a new service where you can just watch all the Simpsons all the found the guys right yeah they have so many awesome properties under their umbrellas give me wicked the the Fox television studio part will be pretty cool yeah for sure it's gonna be interesting because the Lucasfilm stuff been buying 21st Century Fox means they have the old properties for Lucasfilm meaning like the original series something like that interesting interesting you'll just anyone with kids is gonna buy that like pop it down and your kid can just watch every Disney movie ever like kids only need two Disney movies it's on repeat it is we've reinforced that with YouTube too they'll just sit and replay the same thing forever give me sweet yeah you want to do this one I feel like this sure the loop topic yeah let's go for it hub G creator says games need better protection from copycat titles so for people who don't know player unknown battlegrounds is a game kind of a new issue on row that it's pioneering called the Bower Royale type of genre I think I think technically they're not pioneering it I don't remember there okay there's always someone who's first it's like yeah Paul did invent in the computer yeah like they definitely were the ones that like exploded it and massively popularized it etc but I believe again I'm not super I'm not super well-versed on this but I believe there was a game that this guy even contributed to slightly this could be wrong sorry mods for ArmA and h1z1 okay yeah which were both like it was an ARMA mod that was basically this just you don't fly it on a plane I think an h1z1 which is like basically this but I think you also don't fly on a plane so maybe they're upset about planes I don't know we should not only we someone tweeted me or or commented last time that we didn't read out the the names of the forum posters oh geez I'm pretty bad about that so there's a great thread about this on the forum I even wrote post that was the greatest segue ever you want to grab that real quick did the Disney post was posted by D kress jr. the title to is done so post was by evil cat 70 and I think that's it this one's posted by Purina whose name I actually always loved reading and I like the accompanying picture it's just a peaceful name and he's got a little clown fish beside I just like that guy I think it's Marino what oh well it's a Pokemon bias I just go it just sounds more Pokemon that's very that's my other favorite of person's name on the forum is max settings yeah anyway in the forum post the Perino brings up the fact that before perhaps before these games there was at least movies with this type of Oh like the movie Bower yeah which is almost exactly this like you're on an island yes the concept itself it's an interesting thing because he they definitely have a point with there's some specific games I know right here they call it in China there are several titles that have the same premise gameplay and even graphics some are barely distinguishable from pub G itself others have special license like a terminator to fiat version so to back up the game is so popular that is a bunch of spin-off kind of copycat titles I'm not affiliated at all but kind of just like knockoffs yeah so I in some ways I kind of agree where like if it if it is basically exactly the same then sure but they say right in here I want other developers to put their own spin on the genre not just lift things from our own game different things are going to get lifted from every game if you look into the history of gaming FPS games used to be called doom clones with a doom clones oh yeah because they all have the same engine yeah and they kind of felt pretty similar but they were technically different games mhm and there was slightly different things about it like I don't personally find it offensive that fortnight is it's a little weird that you like flying on a bus in the exact same way that you flying on a plane on pub G that's a little weird I just gonna lie I want to pose the question the example you brought up a second ago in those early games like the first first-person shooter yeah it's like a lot of potential to do other things yeah like you know it's not a very big sandbox and that's fair but it is it is a very different gameplay experience to play the free fortnight 50 V 50 or whatever they call it like battle royale style game I don't actually know the proper name for it I only played two rounds only playing two rounds it is an extremely different game I got freaking rekt because some guy needed to run up a mountain so he just and it was too steep so he just built stairs and while he was running up the stairs he was building new stairs he just went the whole way and I was like I didn't think you could put through what the and my uncle like build fortresses and in the 50 V 50 version which pub G doesn't have it's 50 people versus 50 people you still have four man squads and you drop it in your little squad you probably gonna Duke it out with a couple other formats squaws that are on the other team but eventually you get in a big group that's so cool ball up you're all building like fortress walls together and stuff it's a very different gameplay experience and they have gone after fortnight so that on my opinion takes a little road solidity a wing but then they also do have a valid argument well the bigger argument here is there's no intellectual property protection in games this is a quote in movies and music there's IP protection and you can really look after your work but in gaming that doesn't exist yet and this is something that should be looked into pretty interesting yeah IP protection stuff gets abused a lot you mean there's actually probably when Tom Petty or is like yo your song sounds just like won't back down and then because it's the same chord protection even though there is a finite number of chord progressions in the universe yeah and like what was that for chord whatever like everyone is running the same thing anyways so like and all the songs actually sound quite different but they are running the same back yeah because the chords aren't the whole only thing you put that together with a melody yes so the author the combinations is awesome so like when you see like a mobile game that's called like player unknown no apostrophe s battle floor icon and it's essentially the exact same game but it's like mobile or something I think there's a lot of knockoffs on mobile yeah that's rough I that's obviously ridiculous if if there's some game in China or a game in North America that I don't personally know of that is like they say same premise game play and even graphics and if by same they mean actually the same and it has all of those things that are the same that's a problem definitely in my opinion that is a problem do you think there's incentive for the App Store's to be the ones who moderate that as far as I know there's like a certain degree they do how the app stores do alright but on something like Windows there's no you just download the file read so there's they can really do and windows tried to solve that and everyone hated it with a good reason because it was terrible the Windows Store is not a fun experience it's almost like freedom of speech it's like it's so good when it's free that you got to put up with bad stuff yeah and then but then like yeah but then profiting off of it is another thing and and like especially when they try to make the name almost the same yeah as they're abusing the search terms because like I I have seen I don't remember where it was player unknown battles something and I think the last word was changed but they were trying to get with the apostrophe yeah yeah yeah they're trying to be like people are gonna forget that it's unknowns the search engine optimization there is a big piece of that I'm sure like you're getting so many matched characters there is it just playing yeah it's player unknowns there's an apostrophe s yeah but on the real one on the real one yeah but uh I don't I don't remember what it was I don't even know if it's still around but I remember at some point I saw I guess I'll sure mice it's actually the knocker was actually player UNK known well your uncle now this is like jumble is an an over anagram you know if you don't have to actually read if as long as like the first and last letter or the same you can yeah just like that just know it actually tell it would be like dota is a clone of lol yeah which like if anyone's played the two games they absolutely know okay first of all defense of the ancients came out first so you get conked come on but if you played the two games if you played defense of the ancients the Warcraft 3 mod and then played League of Legends you'd be like wow this is really different and then when dota 2 came out if you played the first game and then League and then dota 2 you would be like wow this is really different again they're very different genres there they're both defensive the ancient style of games you still have top middle bottom lane you still have jungling you still have hero selection you still have creep waves you still have killing minions for money there's lots of those different types of similar mechanics but they are very different games and like I think it actually takes a different style of person to play each one of course if someone's like a pro dota player or League player that can probably go back and forth through a certain degree with enough time spent in the game and if you threw like a pro dota player against a noob League player I'm sure they would wreck them in the noobs game but like that transitions over to almost anything I'm sure a pro Cod player versus someone who's like never played shooter games before would be able to beat the person in counter-strike oh for sure even though they're like drastically different games they're both first-person shooters but they're drastically different games that's even more of a split than the league and dota thing so I'm not trying to pull it that far away I'm not trying to strawman that much but like I know what you're talking about we get it yeah yeah Amazon gets it to Amazon and Google I I actually put I've put this story in the wand ox for a couple of weeks cuz it's kind of been evolving but I don't know if you guys have actually talked about it I haven't even seen it which one is it we're down a little bit starts with Amazon okay so in that light let's start from the beginning yeah so what happened was Google said hey Amazon on your echo show device we're not gonna let you have the YouTube app anymore and the reason is because your YouTube app is actually violating our Terms of Service service because it's not living a great customer experience because there's features missing on the Amazon echo show which is the echo device that that has a screen on it okay they didn't have things like there was no subscribers there was no recommended next video like these things are pretty core to the YouTube experience these days and for that reason Google had a nice so this is it by the way I haven't seen it before even so yeah this is the toys there's a billion different Amazon devices now so that you could watch YouTube on that before ok um but then Google said yeah you gotta drop that because he didn't do it right then Amazon said okay we're gonna go behind Google's back and we're gonna implement a new version of YouTube that's based on the web browser it was pretty jank it was basically just like you know when you're on your Smart TV and try to use the web browser apparently was like pretty much that bad and they did this behind Google's back without their authorization and then Google pulled that one but it's see it sounds like it's because of their Terms of Service but there's a flip side of the story which is Amazon hasn't sold does not sell Google homes hasn't sold chromecast in two years and stopped selling nest devices and nests is now owned by Google so it's like are they pulling these YouTube because the Terms of Service violations are they pulling YouTube because they're pissed it's it's reciprocal right so yeah so now the situation was that they pulled when they pulled YouTube the second time from the show they also were like you know what we're also pulling YouTube from fire TV which is the same as like Roku like that's a big deal and you need you need to have YouTube on your on these services so that that's the basically the two points of leverage because Google would you not play with my toy Google would love for you to be able to buy a home on Amazon yeah because like 25% of all e-commerce is on Amazon yeah they would love to be on there so now apparently they're having productive talks that's the that's the latest they they're trying to actually make an agreement because it is mutually beneficial for both parties for them to reach an agreement and something they brought something back here Amazon brought back selling the chromecast that's the first concession we've seen okay we don't know if they're gonna start selling nest again we don't know if they're gonna get Google home on there I doubt it because Amazon really wants by the way chromecast Audio is like sick but sorry continue I love kind of Sonia yeah that's dope yeah anyway Amazon really wants to take over the smart home thing with EKKO so I don't know if they're ever gonna have a home on there it's speculated right now that Google may resend their threat to take YouTube off of fire TV because even though they took YouTube off of the Aqua show immediately fire TVs cancellation wasn't gonna happen till the new year so hopefully everyone will get everything yeah there's some weird parts of this like YouTube is very open API kind of situation you can build a website that just like grabs YouTube videos and looks like a video streaming website but just plays YouTube videos and as far as I know it's fine mm-hmm because you're just embedding YouTube videos and you can click the YouTube button go to their website anyways building an app might go too far but I don't think they actually need like it's all open API stuff they're just hooking into they're not like hacking YouTube and taking the videos right I think it's because they didn't include some wall ostensibly they didn't include the subscribers button or something right it was there was no subscribers at all you can subscribe to things and there was no next video like autoplay predictive which is like all of YouTube basically yeah their algorithm is like the whole thing yeah I think that's what it was like I have no we don't have this in Canada this is just like whatever I've never even seen this thing before yeah I don't know that's that's interesting I wouldn't be surprised if it's Google or YouTube just net neutrality is BS that's why it's gone no that's been I'm gonna take a very short aside back to net neutrality and then I'll be back you poked them you poked the bear you guys if you want to be angry about something like net neutrality which like by all means be angry about it try to be angry for the right reasons because if you just throw it stuff that isn't actually true it invalidates the argument as a whole and actually hurts the side that you're trying to fight for another thing that I would say is try not to just throw out like personal attacks that are baseless unless you're like they are X because of all of these factual reasons that are legitimate and actually makes sense in an argument and making fun of their physical appearance also doesn't help well even if the the personal attacks are true that's still and that doesn't help your argument it would only have to be relevant yes and it's it's actually kind of difficult to make personal attacks relevant it's possible well people did like he is a moral be cuz ex-wife grabber by the p-word yeah can't be President yeah is president yeah will never be impeached no oh my god we don't get blue just like just just to like when you see someone and and to be clear I'm this on the side of like heck yeah I want net neutrality this is a good thing I like open Internet everyone hooray things are good but being like yo this dude has big teeth just makes you look really petty and makes it so that the side that is on the side of him just looks at you and goes like wow our competition is small on the internet no one was in $1.00 point yes on the internet no one knows your dog so you might be talking the person who wrote that might be like a 10 year old who sucks odd like the trending topic yeah it's just like it overshadow and it's a very quick easy thing for people to click like on and stuff so I'm often overshadows legitimate claims so and there's an issue right now where a lot of people don't actually even know what's wrong with net neutrality there's angry because other people are angry there are legitimate reasons to be angry about net neutrality going away a lot of people don't even know them because they're like god this guy that were upset about his appearance is taking whatever it is away from us that's bad that's not a good position to be in try to educate people make things make sense yeah sorry those are weird aside I just I just wanted to dive back on there speaking of me wanting to dive places that's eyeballs response so who we have today let's go to Tesoro we've parted with Tesoro to give away ten limited-edition Graham spectrum keyboards shut your buddy that's this guy right here they were modded by the people over at modders Inc oh that's really cool I feel cool holding this I feel like in the spirit of Star Wars also if you purchase a Graham spectrum keyboard through the link below by the end of the holidays you received two magnetic overlays like this one and I had to check this out before the stream so I actually the generally thought this is pretty cool because I was like what the heck is a keyboard overlay goes like this isn't oh it's one of those plastic covers like at the library but it's magnetic and it's like this one's like marble right and it actually looks pretty sick oh sorry and I think that's kind of a neat way to hide your keyboard oh okay so it goes on like the body it doesn't go on the keys okay that's sweet that's the opposite of what I thought it was yeah that's I actually thought that too so you're not alone when I first saw this now the world knows we're all on the right page now yeah so you it's hard to see from back there but there's essentially the layout of a keyboard here and you would push out the areas that are like where the the keys aren't stuff and it would go on the body around the keyboard to give the body of the keyboard a nice marble look and then you still have your like RGB black key caps black key caps RGB along with white marble nice it pretty good keeps the monochrome kind of idea going on so you can pick whatever RGB color you want I'm looking at the blocks I'm checking out these low-profile keys yeah man key caps yeah that's sweet you guys some win one we're giving ten away I'll post in the which chat is that probably not get owned now I'm working here sometimes sucks you can't enter giveaways and then like even if you're allowed to enter a giveaway if you win everyone's like yeah it's legit rigged Luke held the hat up real high I could yeah speaking of things that aren't rigged though FreshBooks because you make your own value out of fresh books because fresh books allows you to invoice people so you can take money from them for the value that you gave to them whether that was a service

don't remember what that's called but cross it yeah sure Pappas just you know the little they put them in like a wooden frame and it's a something that's a cross stitch crossed it cool whether you're

busy that day I was stressed yeah and then it's like okay that's fine you can pay your bill now right yeah talking everything later there yeah exactly anyways you get a free unrestricted 30-day trial go to FreshBooks comm slash tech tips and enter when show in the how did you hear about us section heck yeah and then we have moss hmm I don't know if we have one here oh here it is okay that's one here's a logo these are actually pretty sharp today we're talking about the new and improved moss pack and their moss nest bag the moss nest bag is designed to hold all your essentials without taking up much space that's this little blue one that he's got designed to nest inside there outer pocket of their moss pack that's this gap there's a lot going on in here there is and okay I'm gonna say one thing - this is like this even in the sponsor notes I love it when bags have this type of inside a really really bright inside oh yeah you spill your yogurt in there like this is you can basically for one it's really easy to clean but for two like with our blades razor blades okay if you put a razor blade in here one it's black you'll very easily bill to see that your laptop's inside to when you're like oh no where's my power cable well the insides all bright shiny reflective or it that's awesome you'll find all your stuff super easily I Robeson but I've never had the privilege of a reflective inside button I'm picking up what you're putting down it's one also picking up this included strap yeah literally it can fit a tablet a phone a power bank snacks headphones water whatever else you need no big deal Moss pack is the backpack you plug in to charge your things I wonder if we can pull this out I was wondering what that is yes so you guys can't see it super well but there's a pot little power bar in here that has a standard power plug which is nice and two USB ports so you could charge like your laptop off the standard power plug and then like a phone or a tablet off of the USB ports which is actually pretty sweet this is kind of cool there are so many pouches you know what that really gets me going because I love having dedicated spots for items I really hope my mom isn't what I'm serious I hope my wife is watching this I hate it when things aren't in their spots I hate wasting my precious life looking for things like where's the keys they belong in the dish they're not in the dish someone else didn't put them the dish because I always put them to the dish and because I always put them in there I know where they are I can find him in the dark this has so many little pockets so you can be like this is the spot for the phone at all times this is the spot for my charger at all times I can go into a tent just like Bam Bam Bam perfect love it heck yeah improvements include logic luggage pass-through on the back for attaching a luggage handle that's cool oh that's we haven't even looked over at where you're holding stronger orange lining here we go

your bag I like it it's pretty good all right back to the actual show do you do do you Julia from NCI expect ups is back on YouTube with Mike's computer shop yeah did what they made a little trailer just posted on the forum by stargaze thank you very much stargaze let's go over to why was it why did it start finished that's weird man there we go this is crazy because now that ncx is like gone I've actually bought some stuff from Mike's computer shop recently I feel like I want to do the music for this I don't know I can be able if the sound is on there's there's no talking in this video it's just like hopefully it's not like way too loud it's just cool music and then you see these big black boots like oh who's this that's someone who identifies as a woman wearing those boots I can tell by the by the stride the way they are boom Wow it was Julia long MCS tech news reviews how to's whoever wrote that I read that earlier I was like that's that's pretty neat it rhymes that is pretty neat I like their writing good job impressed only 525 views we can get more zero dislikes so far yeah keep it that way good job Julie a good job Mike's computer shop that's pretty cool what else you know are there I think I've met her a couple times of these but I don't like no I mostly put this in here because I thought lineups would be sitting here and not me and he'd be like oh cool you have something to say probably personally knows there's no sir but better yeah but I'm just happy because that whole crew is really cool yeah so in in I've seen what another one of them is doing and I'm not gonna say cuz I don't know if it's public and now I've seen what she's doing and I'm just happy that they're dealing be successful I don't want to see any of them fail or falter because they're all really cool you know first ever SpaceX launches reused rocket and capsule I believe this is just kind of up and down I don't think it's actually no that puppy's going to ISS baby oh really 200 pounds of payload wow that's sick okay this is posted by no one on the forum this is opposed to by James in the dock yeah nobody well actually it could be in the form I didn't do a search but I didn't see it on the front one or two pages so so I heard that this wasn't what you're saying it is so that's really exciting they're just going for gold online no I'm not I'm saying that I just like heard random small-time misinformation and didn't actually read an article about it that's I mean it depends on maybe you heard a first it was a different first oh they've done the rocket launch and land like I think 20 straight times or something without failure okay and they've done like launch launch one of these dragon capsules up this is the first time that a reused like already spent rocket is underneath and already spent Dragon capsule and they're going to NASA and NASA is gonna be receiving and already used rocket and that's the first time for that they had to do like a big comprehensive review to know whether or not they wanted to accept that they deemed it a like a marginal increase in risk given like the risks that already exist they said it's basically the same so that's wicked and it's very bringing up real cargo it's actually bringing up a bunch of research materials and equipment for the scientists that live and work up there that is really cool this is really exciting I don't really have a ton else to say other than it's really this is rebel and how it's saying that is yeah like yeah that's amazing like imagine every time you flew overseas on our 747 you gotta like a plane and it just exploded how much would your plane ticket cost like it's pretty insane how so now they've got going there multiple times going to Mars going to the moon or whatever an order of magnitude cheaper that's so cool they're actually doing it and if you haven't seen videos of these rockets these first stage rockets autonomously like landing themselves on the again autonomous barges that are out to sea it's so weird you think it's Photoshop you think it's fake tits you look like you're watching the video and rewind it's like hold in by a string yeah always made me think that it's like being pulled in not at it's controlled fall is so counterintuitive right so I don't think anyone watching this knows this guy don't think I ever talked about this publicly but I tried to send a little like mini set up okay like a while ago and I had an adult yeah okay and I had like what like this size let's see probably 24 and you can you can I know Taryn knows because I was researching rocket fuel because I wanted to work with a group in the States that does like hobby rockets and they've gotten in trouble a lot because it's like sort of a potential for a long-range ballistics program and it's like just a bunch of random dudes but really they're just trying to be like this was before SpaceX became like really big mmm the SpaceX was kind of around but they weren't really big yeah yeah yeah so I don't remember exactly I was like 17 years now or something it's been a while yeah but and I was trying to figure out like how I pay them to give them to put a little CubeSat up oh and all this kind of stuff and yeah I know it's it's way too much money yeah well good thing you don't want it to get so decentralized that anybody can put anything in space yeah yeah I yeah we're having a hard enough time having everybody able to put anything they want on the internet on YouTube that's fair and like a clutter around the space garbage garbage it's not great yeah I don't know okay I hear Linus's voice well this show's over Linus except that we still need to talk about floatplane come here and talk about floatplane and let me go home for the weekend tag me in coach bye son hi everyone yeah I was gonna say should we put me in the thumbnail Wow okay we have to do something crazy then because usually I have an entire show worth of like us reacting things to pull from the first pose Dwayne show yeah yeah and it's probably not even gonna be that great yeah what do we have for what do we have for stuff on floatplane right now it's my thing should be fine should be fine yeah you got this you got this we've got tech wiki how does your web browser know your location that's actually pretty interesting yep actually it's a and it's a really really cool topic and there's sort of more to it than I thought because there's some stuff that I know already like the IP leases you're for ISPs are regional so therefore they can approximate your location but then there's a bunch of other like actually kind of scary stuff and that's how they know like exactly where you are without GPS yeah which is it's neat to know how it works yeah contactless payment technology in a glove that's up on YouTube no one like it okay I mean some people liked it okay um I like a 2/3 of people liked it there I'll quantify who like outside of YouTube statistics that's not bad yeah yeah there we go we'll say we'll take it from that um setting up brand-new sets that's cool yeah so this is like the team paints I rage out because that's what happens when yeah basically if you liked construction vlog or moving vlog it's kind of along those lines okay what else again what the I just seen studio to her yeah that's the feedback on this is really good so and you you have talked about this before I don't think on the show at all yeah because this came up this week so we wouldn't have talked about it earlier but it's it's right we weren't gonna talk about it too much because it's spoilers yeah everything's kind of a spoiler but I'll say this if you weren't intrigued enough to sign up for floatplane already I'll try this wrapping paper wrapping paper fetish what see now you're intrigued aren't you okay moving on okay how to boost your cell signal yeah that's a quickie the dumb blonde of Virtual Assistants nice the geebo robot the tweet for this was glorious this thing is so bad like I can't believe it's on the cover of Time they clearly it's only cover of time yeah as one of the top 25 inventions this year they clearly never even looked at it that like actually hurts my soul yeah like they're not they weren't even trying all right and then I think we're almost getting back to last week but we've got 1070 SLI and a slim laptop that's insane quite the question mark in the title is it stupid yes yes it is but you can watch the video if you want the longer more verbose version of that if you want us to explain why texture it on candy battle yeah Tech showdown and part 1 is up I don't know if you knew that is it on YouTube no yeah okay so I did know that so part one is on floatplane part two is to floatplane tomorrow part one is coming to YouTube tomorrow okay yeah so tech showdown has been sort of reimagined heavily heavily reimagined it's it's more like scrapyard Wars of modding and less like arts and crafts though to be clear there's still arts and crafts and we don't buy anything used but he's not wrong yeah I don't know that's actually a pretty good description but there's also the weird caveats that go against it anyways yeah tons of great stuff on floatplane and that's pretty much the show you missed the almost all of it okay I have to go review the razor phone video with Taryn okay he just finished editing it so you're also leaving again yeah alright well there you go all right that are as big as your fist dumb okay bye guys
