Samsung is NERFING phones! - WAN Show Mar. 2 2018

2018-03-02
are you sure we are live now I remember the thing you were gonna fix the recording light that's what it was we don't have one but that's okay guys we've got a great show for you today we actually oh man we made some crazy crazy pants videos this week and by we I mean me and other people not you oh it is what it is dude it is what it is but you guys did something really sick this week too that's right yeah so what uh yeah it's um apparently didn't excite people who were reading the the the wine show title last week you know it doesn't love you okay it was one of the lowest viewed when Joe the lead funeral last year the people that care care a lot and I love you for it but a flow plane went alpha you don't show that oh yeah yeah I know no I don't I don't want to show that I super don't want to show that I'm gonna put oh you know what I'm gonna put don't put it login we put minesweeper minesweeper doesn't come on Windows 10 does it no it doesn't that is so stupid the windows team that Microsoft hates fun why what is wrong with them I hate that you gotta go to the Xbox team for that alright anyway well we are off to a super when shall we start to the show today there folks let's go ahead wait this is wrong man why is it called tez like that right yeah yeah we rock on okay so check this out so I'm on my home which the only way to navigate to home right now is to click this which is not super intuitive will get that sort of note don't worry about most websites work that's fine the mobile the mobile one is a little weird the desktop right that's completely fine that's fine say that should probably be like a more kind of different kind of home like actually like float playing home where you browse creators and stuff whereas like there should be like it like an awl or something but we'll figure you know what he and I are gonna work this out but basically you can see videos from creators that you follow or you could go to the important ones Wow take that Kyle and you can see what's what's gone up in the last week or so so this is it like this is actually the site so subscribe using credit card it's a little yes you can okay it's not like really in the sense that like the the credit card data is being handled just right it's just like the the site itself around it okay it works it's working but check this out you can see the videos that we have up on flow plane that are not yet on YouTube so I think most of these are already up yeah and just so you guys know if you have a forum account actually regardless of if you have a subscription or not but if you have a forum account that has a flow clean subscription or a bit with ultra subscription you can go to full plane com connect the account by we're not going to show you because LastPass is gonna autofill some information but if you go to the home page yeah there's a more sign-in options drop-down button thingy majiggy click on that click in sign in with the LCD forum connect to your account and then you'll have access to whatever subscriptions you currently have oh smart way to go because you have add-ons disabled because you can enable add-ons in incognito if you want it but yeah click the sign in with ltte forum option the other ones don't work right now as well don't worry about it click it can be cited but don't be before I'm often connect your account you'll have access which is great so there's a couple at least a couple videos on there that are pretty freaking cool this is really cool we've got three VR headsets running off of a single motherboard single tower using virtualization we did the top five most insane cases yes that is a case that is a real case you can buy it if you're baller enough these are the feedback on these videos is really good and you can actually see the aforementioned feedback on the floatplane website check that out no way Oh hold on I don't know if audio is on sorry guys no way comments oh okay we should probably fix that jumps back on video yeah oh no maybe that what happened there but anyway check this out comments comments hey hey hey Dig Dug at all this is my first visit here so these are my initial impressions look and feel the site is spot-on hekia very professional-looking there's teething problems there is like needing to logout and then in again after subscribing okay yep were you even aware that one yeah yeah okay yeah the video buffering is an issue I'm stuck as low as 480p okay no that's weird because we've actually been we've done pretty well there um cool to see it might be a location thing there's still some like using in that needs to happen there yeah should I do it switch 1080p see how well it goes there has been some minor problems with that and we've been doing some Rika jiggering cool look at that so that might be causing an issue ah right cuz I think we're trying to change it so that it remembers your last what you last selected properly without jumping to 360 first and then jumping back and then jumping back out and usually if you like pause it and then do it again it works because alpha whatever we're actually also having some issues with our connection here oh of course the second I switch it's like so it's working yeah it's a typical right right I suspect that's actually not flow plane although it could be at this point because things are things are in a pretty delicate state right now but anyway the alphas up the ending now yeah yeah it works every other time we've shown on winch oh and it will work again yep do not worry uh what if we go for topics this week like did anything oh right yeah things did happen no no no the Samsung Galaxy S 9 happened nope nothing happened that happened what else do we have horizon 720 700 X is rumored to may have maybe be happening at some point okay I think this is sort of a big deal this is back to the Samsung Galaxy S 9 word on the street is that Samsung might be nerfing the version of the phone oh so that it's not too much better than the snapdragon 845 version that's so as to upset their customers okay so that's pretty that's pretty interesting you know that actually kind of makes sense I celebrate oh go ahead it's dumb but it makes sense celebrate is advertising they can now break the security of iOS 11 including the iPhone 10 what else happened this week our intro worked then right you got Nazir's copy brought you by synergy 2 and brought to you by honey I mean anything sounds kind of weird when you say it like that but honey sound especially weird apparently the sound is super quiet on the intro you know whatever nice someone says they needed that for bingo so you know needed what you're lost is someone else's gain and control nice all right I don't know man I don't know man alright let's jump right into our first topic here how would how would that be for and someone's gonna lose their bingo if we start talking about tech and he seems like one of minutes into you know it wouldn't surprise me there's a lot of stuff that happens on this show a lot that probably shouldn't happen on the show no the creator of wine show bingo tweeted me I felt I felt pretty special yeah yeah that's good that's good so this was supposed to be Edward the weeb on the forum thanks for that and there's the unnecessarily loud laugh tile the original article is from WC CF tech AMD's second-generation rise in 7:00 at 2700 X rumored to be 8 core 12 excuse me 8 core 16 thread 3.7 gigahertz base up to 4.2 gigahertz boost with xfr so what this tells us is that second-generation risin is looking like a pretty small sort of tweak you know ironing out a couple of wrinkles you know don't expect all of a sudden to be getting you know 48 core versions that are clocked at 5 gigahertz or anything like that evolutionary rather than revolutionary but let's see 16 Meg's level 3 cache for makes level 3 I'd be surprised if it does to be perfectly honest this is gonna be priced above then or do you think they're just gonna I think they're gonna slot these in above the existing ones here you can see the spec sheet comparison so there's the 1700 here's the replacement 2700 X so we're going down to 12 nanometer which gets us anywhere from 200 to 300 megahertz higher clock speeds at the same TDP one year later so I mean okay I can see some people being disappointed because Rison was like I forget what AMD was quoting it was like 40% or like 60% better than their previous generation but it's not fair that was because AMD actually hadn't really done a whole lot in the last four to five years leading up to it and so as much as it's easy to harp on Intel for these incremental generational improvements in cpu performance now we're seeing that when all AMD has to work with is a very small manufacturing process shrink it's really hard to do those generational leaps and performance the way that they did way back in the day like when AMD went from the Barton core to a sledgehammer clawhammer I think we're the first were those the first Athlon 64 within minutes so financing and like when Intel went from the netburst family up to Conroe so that doesn't really happen that often anymore and you did Sonny now that I think about it when Intel did it way back when that was because they had been not necessarily sitting on ass for a few years but they had been barking up the wrong tree for a few years that's for sure yeah so hmm I wonder how long it has been since we've seen like a massive improvement like wow where can we find the last one maybe it would be Athlon 64 on AMD side yeah no just in general the last time we saw a really big generational improvement with that said Conroe to Intel's integrated memory controller was a pretty big leap to because we went no because they introduced quad-core first hard to say in terms of I know I know it wasn't in a lot of different ways but in terms of like customer understanding and usability which is a weird thing largely due to naming but okay Andy bridge you think so I think a lot of people kind of got it more okay so you know what I'm gonna pick my moment for me the lot the biggest CPU improvement in performance was not actually Barton to claw hammer for me the biggest difference I saw was from and yeah again my point is not just performance stuff like I felt like the community like paying attention to forums and stuff like that I felt like people understood more but that one because the the product naming scheme I think made more sense for a lot of so I think it was Winchester was the last single core know vet Venice might have been San Diego oh crap which one was it a salon 64 models okay um the camera is tilted what yeah okay so I oh no no it's uh it's not centered yeah the thing is yeah whatever also there's some worry and your sweater if we want to get really you know it's very things that we don't worry about on the land show so for me the big one was going from single core Athlon 64 to I think it was the Toledo core going to dual core Athlon 64 because that was it wasn't a big improvement for gaming because back up that camera still dude what are they sorry just keep going I'll be back I think I do okay Oh max is here mac max is coming to save us because it wasn't a big improvement for gaming you got to remember that games did not benefit from dual-core CPUs back in those days but what it was was a huge improvement to the gaming experience if you had things running in the background and it was a huge improvement to really the experience of doing anything at the same time that was one yeah yeah yeah yeah really happened from yeah and that's a really big deal especially in terms of user experience yeah yeah and it's like this it's the same way and you know the funny thing is I remember arguing on forums about dual core back in the day because people who didn't see the bigger picture who just saw the benchmarks on whatever the site they preferred was and saw that in all their favorite games it didn't make a difference those people would come out and say you're paying literally twice as much for literally twice as many CPU cores and it doesn't make any difference and it's the same argument that I would have with people when SSDs were first starting to gain popularity where they'd go well the benchmarks don't indicate a significant difference in performance other than like boot time and they're very low capacity it feels really different and that's what it was like then yeah and honestly since since the first good SSDs so like back when Intel launched the X 25mm I haven't really had that experience again what was the first I'm not gonna Google I was ask you you probably know what was the first generation that Intel introduced Kay for their unlockable SKUs I believe it was the 2600 K yeah yeah so this is kind of no no no no there was an 8 7 5k was this yes and back then the so the 8 7 5k was Linfield yeah Linfield so Linfield was architectural II the same as bloomfield which was the high-end socket 1366 platform I think it'd be fair to say that Sandy Bridge popularized that though yeah so that was a big difference for you I think so I found on forums and discussing with my friends and all those kind of stuff people understood it a lot more when sandy bridge came around and they changed the number schemes of things there's easier to understand like I v i7 really 2600 K a 2500 k k non-kpop whole we're taking this to a strawpoll because it could be my little bubble I don't know I want to know okay so there's a couple of angles to this but but I'll get into it okay core I X more or less confusing okay than before and to be clear if you want to understand the entire stack it might even be slightly more confusing but if you're like is this one better or worse it's it's kind of easy okay guys hit that strawpoll I've got that in the twitch chat hit the straw poll so okay so here's the problem within a generation and within a product family remembering that laptop product family is not the same as desktop product family and not the same as you know enterprise product family then I can see core i3 Core i5 core i7 being simpler to understand however from generation to generation I would argue when it got WAY worse I'm just saying with that generation yeah it brought people into understanding yeah and I feel like a lot of people held on after that but yes it got messy it was really confusing I mean nowadays you'll see posts on craigslist where people are just saying core i7 pc yeah $300 whatever but we're way beyond we're not in the Sandy Bridge generation anymore okay okay and now and now I think understanding has gone up as a whole so you see that you go I know that's BS and then you look into it I think the understand and I know people are wow this is like 50/50 I don't remember the last time I saw our community this evenly split that's crazy easy I I think it I think Sandy Bridge brought the understanding of the entire industry as a community up and I think people held on whether this is people saying is it confusing in general now using now it's a mess now absolutely but I think like the knowledge base as a community has gone up okay and you can argue like well I was on overclock net back in 2003 and we understood way more back then sure yeah definitely OCN is not a good sample to pick from though yeah cuz you're all hardcore you guys are not representative of the general population all the forum dudes yep probably knew what was going on yeah that's not who I'm talking about I'm going a little bit I mean forums as in like gaming forums and stuff not like overclocking computer hardware forums so this is an interesting point on it cage in twitch chat said something kind of insightful LTT viewers are more technical in general so if 50% of us see it is more confusing regular people have no hope I don't think that's but what's interesting where I'm going with this is think about it this way I think regular people who go yeah I get it I 3 is less than I 5 is less than I 7 would actually vote less confusing yes even if they didn't know it but they were really confused or are totally wrong right definitely yeah so which is what I liked about Sandy Bridge right they just over years or different launches in released okay so this is interesting this is a really good point from NFS em 654 it's with Sandy Bridge some of the core i5s would dual core with onboard graphics yeah so this was before Intel standardized on onboard graphics being on everything because they were still building the IGP you on the package but not on to the die yet so quad core chips didn't have enough room for onboard graphics and the dual cores did meaning that inter compatibility on motherboards was actually quite confusing so I'd still maintain I think the overall knowledge base of the community went up and some of that's definitely boiled into okay there was a really weird naming change that just happened what's going on sorry did I say Sandy Bridge Linfield I'm sorry Linfield Linfield I think a lot of it was what's going on and people talking about the differences between different processors and what threads are and all of this other kind of stuff and like the differences between threads and cores a lot of these conversations started around the Sandy Bridge time and a lot of people actually cared about processor specs right now it's kind of a mess and a lot of people are interested in CPUs but the more recent interest in CPUs has been hey there's competition now what's better to explain to me what's better and I like AMD finally have something to upgrade to yeah I'm not necessarily saying that it was a good thing I'm not saying I'm just saying that the the I think the knowledgebase it's a whole increased at that time right and I like that all right let's move on to back I don't know I don't care anymore let's move on to the Galaxy S 9 so this was posted in the forum by d13 H for our d2l I ve died hard to live in the very worst leet-speak of all and there's no spaces yeah but anyway noticed that édouard the web had your like cat ear long purple hair photo thing that was alright article here is from TechCrunch calm with the galaxy their headline is with the galaxy s 9 samsung put the fingerprint sensor where it belongs and i guess that's probably the headline because there isn't a whole lot else to say about it I actually missed my briefing today that I was supposed to attend oh no I still don't have a device how will we know what its specs and stuff are but fortunately sort of news flash for the kanay in PR team the rest of the world is a thing and the Internet Wow the Internet oh and so I can just read about this stuff on other publications website that's amazing where they already know this stuff because they already had their briefings like a week ago not that I'm salty or upset or anything it's just that it's like whoa bigger net being in Canada is like a big like a big dick slap sometimes you don't matter yeah your population is literally 1/10 of the u.s. less than the state of California do you know what we don't give a spit anyway it's got the best DXL mark rating ever of 99 though it should be close it should be noted that the pixel 2 is at 98 and the iPhone 10 is at 97 so we really are splitting hairs at this point looks pretty similar to last gen but better camera as I just mentioned snapdragon 845 in the US and China and then Exynos whatever the crap it is something 9 something something else where they moved the fingerprint sensor to a more useable spot I think already said that they're gonna have an emojis though to be clear they're not normal emojis like apples the more like we Me's or bitmoji remember Me's well I don't know probably the biggest antenna fanboy you know did they have it on the Wii U yeah wait did you have a week you had a week yeah I play more we now than I did when it launched it's still great my sisters yeah I only play Wii Sports yeah my son loves Wiis but we sports is amazing I actually I interrupt this very compelling news about the Samsung Galaxy S 9 to bring you a personal confession something that is actually really hard for me to talk about it's it's it's actually related to the Nintendo Wii so as some of you probably know my son is about five and wow he's also Lee something shut up okay let me just I need to ease my self into this okay so my son is almost six and could you maybe enjoy this a little less I'm so excited sorry continue my son is almost sick shut up just keep going just chill out I believe in you so my son is almost six and he's been playing Wii we actually created a me for him when he was like three and a half I was like trying to see if like the stick wiggling was simple enough that he could do it wasn't he wasn't he wasn't ready yet but over probably the last year or so he's gotten to the point where he actually uses the wheat more than the vibe which is depressing for a whole level yeah but but he's gotten to the point where he's played enough Wii Sports that first like he would he was like a pro in Wii tennis right you know how you can play against the computer and you get over a thousand skill level and you're a pro tennis and the tennis one that's not the tennis one is pretty easy and but he got to the point where he was not just a pro but he had a skill level of like sixteen hundred and fifty or something which was more than mine mine was fourteen hundred and something but the reason that my skill level wasn't very high was I never played single player I would always play against my wife or like my sister-in-law because the last time I used the Wii was when I still lived with my wife's parents so it was like the family console and we'd like to LaRonde on Sunday night playing Wii Sports or whatever yeah yeah okay so so I was quite a bit better than my skill level would indicate so he would like he would go all like five-year-old kind of sulky my skill level is higher but you still beat me like without without even using like the cheap return whenever you miss a power smash there's a cheap return that if you time it's not even that hard to time but it's ungettable on both the forehand and the backhand if they don't manage to power serve and so I would beat him to like without even using that then and he'd complain he'd be whining about it then like a couple months later I'm playing against him and he takes a set and I'm just like oh okay like I wasn't really paying attention I was holding the baby on the other hand and I was like oh shoot okay darlin can you get down I got a I got a beat your brother it.we tennis um then he takes another set I hope what I'm like okay full-on cheap mode now so I'm I'm doing cheap returns like ungettable returns I'm power serving everything to him and I win it okay so I take I take three sets in a row and he's like oh I almost beat you literally like two weeks later he sweeps me and I'm like is this petty know what I don't care rematch ask for even I asked my five-year-old son for a rematch he beats me again straight again I don't even feel bad about him kicking my ass at Wii boxing because we boxing is quite frank who can flail the best and I'll like I'll play against him and I'll like trying time punches and it's just like come on it's better to flail like it's actually better to flail and it's so funny the way he plays it is so funny I have a video of him doing this so I'm saving for his wedding but instead of just like going like this she gets his whole body just like so the kid the kid will like she'll come out of playing a couple games of Wii boxing like dredged I'm like wow this is great because the whole idea behind the Wii was that it was more physical yeah yeah until like jackasses like me figured out that they could play Twilight Princess like this yeah you know like yeah I'm still joystick waggling or whatever but I'm not I'm not moving yeah so I can still kick his butt at golf I can still crush him at bowling actually almost got a perfect game I I missed one pin on the first one which made me feel a lot better then all strikes through to the end and then I missed one pin on the end so I'm actually really glad I missed that one pin at the beginning because otherwise that one at the end would have destroyed me as a person yeah oh oh is there a Wii U one okay cool maybe I should get a Wii U probably cheap and then what's the what's the last game oh the baseball baseball movie is just stupid like yeah he beat me at baseball but like baseball is just a matter of like who luckily connects with a pitch because as soon as a human is pitching you could just throw all the cheapest garbage and it's like unhittable do you have the improved sensors I don't okay I don't think we sports is Wii MotionPlus compatible though so I don't think it matters the Wii U controllers have it built-in yeah and they're the same size as the default controllers okay which is kind of nice cool and I believe all Wii U games work with it because it's the default controller yeah okay well maybe maybe I'll get a weave at some point but anyway that was my confession it actually happened I was actually trying already trying all right like I was I was hitting cheap shots that I knew he didn't know about this is like playing like NHLPA 94 and doing wrap arounds on the bottom when someone else doesn't know about it like that is three ferret that's how I was playing wrap arounds are pretty easy to like pick up on if someone's doing it to you yeah yeah dude man like I that's pretty rough yeah what is the number one game that would hurt for him to be better than you at you know I'm not really that good at anything um like there's there's games where I just really wouldn't expect him to ever be better than me like I don't think he'll ever be better at a side-scroller just cuz that genre is not really popular like like modern side-scrollers what like trying like that's not it like there's some like really niche like ultra hardcore yeah like you could argue the to super meatboy is a modern ish side-scroller but even that's like years old and and like it's a dying it's it's it was like a it was like the you like press down on the chest of the corpse and it's like like it's not breathing anymore it's just like a last last gasp so to speak doesn't know like I so yeah I wouldn't it yeah Cup heads nod that's not it's not Super Mario World yeah it's it's more advanced than that there's more there's a lot more to it so if he were to beat me like if you were to be better than me at like Super Mario World I'd feel pretty devastated but I don't expect that to happen it would be kind of like it would be kind of like me being better at shuffleboard than my grandparents like yeah if I put enough time into it I could probably do it but I wouldn't care yeah like I'd be concerned about him so badminton no I fully expect him to be better at me than better than me at that I am planning to when do you think they'll happen I'm gonna be paying like $75 an hour for badminton coaching for him within the next few months Oh like he is going to prodigy level he's going to the best badminton facility in Canada oh he is going to be get sits here actually arguably there's been there's been more national level players but the other other places have done well too they've had they've had good products as well and then if he's good enough I would happily pay for him to train overseas if it comes to that so as far as I'm concerned if he is not beating me at badminton by the time he was about 11 or 12 then we need to reevaluate cuz I'm not that good so he's into it yeah he likes it yeah yeah gave me very broad like no he's all week I knew that I wanted to get that out of you so yeah twitch chat knows that you're not just being with like no not kind of dad yeah he's already playing a couple times a week he likes it um I also fully expect him to be better at martial arts than me although by the time he by the time he gets like a ha oh shoot this is gonna happen sooner than I had sort of thought about but by the time he hits like 9 or 10 he hits like red brown belt I'm probably gonna have to try and get back into this I don't get passed too quickly there but yeah I fully expect him to be better than me at everything if he's not that I failed as a parent cuz that's your job can I be like a boss along the way a boss yeah I think he's probably gonna be quite a bit smaller than you for ever have you seen his mother but he'll pass on he'll be more skilled he'll be like the light character that you choose that's the funny thing about that is there's a reason that like the UFC doesn't have heavyweights fight lightweights okay chun-li wouldn't actually stand a chance against Blanca but the little dude that he just made you Jitsu can kick my butt so that's the thing okay eventually I'll get with that said if you weren't jujitsu Eng and you just went for a football tackle yeah does that still go down that way probably it's a very nice guy okay so within the constraints of the sport you get your butt kicked but yeah um speaking of within the constraints of Bancho let's start with synergy two if you have two computers or more and you have one desk synergy 2 is the way to go it's a software based mouse and keyboard sharing solution that works on Windows Mac and Linux computers is that out on floatplane yet because that is a sick video do you know about this yet no we did a showcase piece for synergy and we were kind of sitting around going like okay how do we how do we do this yeah there is a there's an export for this I'm just gonna pull it up I don't think it's actually live on floatplane yet but I'm gonna pull this up because it's really cool I just want to show the demo here but we were sitting around going you know how do we how do we do a video for synergy that's not just a shield piece that's like actually cool we were like oh I don't know maybe we could just do a shield piece and then it might actually be cool and it worked out really well check so okay that ended up being a little more a little more dramatic than I hoped I'm just gonna skip ahead to Texas so they're all firing up that's windows 7 OS 10 or Mac OS sorry Windows 10 and Linux and then what I can do with this monitor this is that LG monitor that's cool right that's cool and then you can switch fullscreen with the remote for the monitor so I was using the remote there you can just go you can get out of picture by picture and go fullscreen to any one of them in 4k 60 and then you can press another button to go back to your tile setup cool right that is pretty cool so you can effectively be using four different operating system workstations at once and switch between fullscreen and having all of them and then when they're all on so there's a toggle for synergy to that they're adding or they'll have either added it by the time this goes live or they've added it already so that through the task bar of any one of them you can toggle synergy 2 on and off so that when you go fullscreen your mouse doesn't fly off the edges yeah because all of the the fullscreen versus not fullscreen that's being handled in hardware by the monitor not by the seamless to soft that's a really cool setup isn't it I can actually think of a lot of different industries that would like that oh absolutely so it's one of those niche things but for the people who are into that pretty freakin cool so anyways soon as you - makes it easier than ever to mouse and keyboard share between multiple systems they've got new networking back back-end that helps with complex networks they've got oh the ssl encryption has been moved from the pro to the basic tier so all users can benefit from encryption and the new background service on all platforms lets users control all their machines before they're even logged into the computer so get 50% off your purchase of synergy - we'll have that linked down so do you

and pests as much as you want yes so quick first 100 people three six-pack go also 60% off holy crap go go go but also pay attention to the rest of the wine show because we're important too should we get back to the galaxy yes 9 do we even care tonight nine hundred and 60 FPS limo that's cool HD 0.2 22 seconds so probably end trigger I guess I'm hoping so Oh instead of trying to time your button press it will apparently a I tried to detect where the action is in the clip and apply slow mode of that part yeah I guess that point two seconds you wouldn't even have time for end trigger okay this is interesting so the original article hears from a non tech I was just browsing through and I don't really know how this wasn't bigger news I mean a non tech called it awkward first results that's one way of putting it but in a nutshell it'll be either Exynos 9810 or snapdragon 845 and if we go down bippity be a bit a bit bit bit oh what's the final clock speed that they'll use blah blah blah blah blah blah blah active blah blah blah memory latency etc etc okay big little design here we go here we go woo so Geekbench for single core performance snapdragon 845 got absolutely first by the 9810 how very interesting last generation etc etc okay again oh wait that's still Geekbench for us it splits no PC mark work 2.0 so the 9810 does not crush the snapdragon 845 here where is it yep there it snaps making a 45s right up on the top but basically oh thank you for that okay what seems very clear something's wrong Oh No Oh Luke was plugging in my power did I actually not make it almost got it by like milliseconds almost got it oh man oh that was great good I know it's fine they can't see it um okay oh man okay so clearly there's something kind of wrong and basically the writer checked in with Samsung here we go I did get confirmation okay here we go Samsung spokesman confirmed that the demo unit was running special firmware for Mobile World Conference so these results because you can clearly see they're totally bummed up because the PC mark score has the Exynos 9810 getting creamed by even the last generation Exynos yeah last generation Snapdragon and of course current generation Snapdragon so clearly something's wrong here so confirmation that the demo units were running a special firmware and they might not be optimized he's having a hard time believing they would so drastically limit the performance of the device for show units honestly I don't find that that hard to believe all kinds of games get played with the phone firmware for shows and even for reviewers but check this out did get confirmation that samsung is planning to tune down the Exynos variant to match Snapdragon performance Wow so I'm actually not sure how that wasn't bigger news because I can see a lot of different ways that people can get upset about this and I can't see a lot of ways where people wouldn't be a little upset about this so the two ways I can see people being upset upset number one would be if I got a snapdragon 845 galaxy s nine because there's always controversy there yeah and with Apple it was even so what was it a ten was the first one they did it on where they dual sourced from TSMC and and then one of them was better than yeah one of them was arguably sometimes better than the other and it was mostly in terms of battery life where people were getting upset because one of them was a little bit more power efficient but it was close enough I was things within 5% like it was close enough that you were also playing around with the variations in battery capacity at that point so I can see people being upset about getting the perceived trashy err chip the other thing I could PC people being upset about is if you're in the European or Asian market and you've got an X and O's 88 95 didn't having it be nerfed and see this is probably one of the actuation yeah what's that Samsung this is probably one of those situations where Samsung realized that this these problems could happen so they decided to try to quietly make them the same so that people wouldn't argue which you know from a certain standpoint I kind of understand they're like we just don't want people to freak out so if we make everything the same that it's great but then people are gonna freak out because then they should have gotten an advantage is this San Siro is this Samsung kind of going well you know the Canadian region probably won't care about this phone until such time as it's available through Canadian carriers so let's just not bother briefing them like is this them going you know what you know outside of the US Americans probably don't read you know non-american news outlets so they're probably not gonna like look that closely at the Exynos version so like as long as we seed all the US outlets with snapdragon ones should be fine like are they is this them going okay as long as we keep it contained within a region then no one will figure this out and you know the mainstream consumer probably wouldn't is that what's happening here Wow I think okay so I think it's been proven many many many times that nerds are gonna figure it out mainstream consumer no mainstream the consumer is not gonna care there's an iterative number they're gonna see that's the s9 and they'll want it if they're getting a new phone for whatever reason okay I've got a lot of people asking this and we really need to we really need to address it I can't find the first person who asked it but let's let's go down to this one who was it okay whatever the question is why here we go der Fuehrer 123 ah seriously why doesn't Samsung use Exynos in the US and China and then another person asked why does Samsung a not a designer and fabricator of mobile CPUs I use there why do they use Paul comm CPUs in their phones and the answer is actually a little more interesting than you might at first think there was a different word I was looking for and I'm know it was like delicate and but it wasn't delicate it's a little more subtle a little more whatever I forget so the reason we read junk I'll say Radio compatibility is actually one factor but Samsung could probably figure out how to support more bands with their chipset if they really pretty sure they wanted to hard enough but one wants nuance thank you that's them know those the check oh thank you chat nuance I just I read it in channels like absolutely so there are business reasons for doing it so first of all within samsung's different business units like for example their fabrication unit that also as you guys probably know builds RAM or NAND flash or even processors for competitors within Samsung's different business units I have it on fairly good authority that Samsung unit a won't actually get a discount compared to the open market from Samsung unit B so if Samsung Mobile wants to by NAND flash for their phones for storage they don't get like a discount compared to if Apple we're buying it it's all down to that business unit the the fabrication business unit needing to make the best profits they can and negotiating deals based on volume based on capacity based on all the things that they would normally do so there's one reason why Samsung Mobile might not be married to Exynos chips reason number two is that building a CPU is really hard every time look at Snapdragon 810 even Qualcomm who has been other than Apple basically the undisputed leader for a lot of the last few years can really screw it up sometimes so if Samsung were to just say AHA for our note and s line up we are not going to use your top tier chips we're gonna stop marketing Qualcomm technology being good we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna burn this bridge because we can make our own CPUs that if Samsung were to do that and then flub up a generation or two generations of chips they could put their Galaxy S or no products at a significant disadvantage compared to the LG's and HTC's of the world guys who didn't invest in that fabrication technology but also aren't taking that risk so Samsung is dual sourcing not just to make up fabric fab capacity which as far as we can tell us why Apple does it also to play the different fabricators against each other oh yeah that's another reason so that they can play Samsung's own business unit against external ones where was I going with this right so there's also a business reason for dual sourcing not just to make up fab capacity but also to hedge your bets so Samsung has the ability to ramp up and do X in US and more regions if you know Qualcomm chips are dead again but they can also cover for their own dud in the event that wall comes technology is significant you join and Samsung they can't really okay I'm what Hunter said certain they can't afford it but I'm gonna say in this immediately they're also legally required to use their chips in their phones it's a 25 year old agreement weird so that's another one but but having another big launch failure will be really bad this close to their phone bombs remember to Samsung could also just use Qualcomm chips in their lower end stuff it's not like Samsung doesn't have a bazillion models of phones yeah but why they might do it on within a single model there's a lot of reasons so there's that and then there's all the other stuff that we're talking about as well all right apparently also Qualcomm CDMA patent and licensing so until CDMA goes away they'll just basically be forced to but with all of that said I have an X in O's Galaxy s8 it works fine in the States but it just might not work on all carriers so it wouldn't work on Springs who else is still CDMA CDMA will be going away sometime in the next little bit it can't be that many carriers though I don't think it's that mean I don't know who used the CDMA still who in Canada ah Bell did until recently I don't know if they do anymore they might be just some now yeah I don't I don't pay that close attention so 18 really they're all still using it Sprint Verizon and US Cellular I didn't know Verizon was still using CDMA AT&T Mobile or GSM hmm fun according to Google anyway and then apparently Bell Mobility in Ontario Quebec is still CDMA Oh tell us the CDMA here there you go interesting but we don't know necessarily that they're only using it yeah so yeah again I don't pay that close attention to that stuff because I'm just not that big of a cellphone nerd if I'm gonna be honest with you guys uh what else do we have for news oh I don't know I'm just go drop it with a doc for no reason happens once a show really bad timing I don't know why it does that perfect celebrate is now advertising they can break the security of iOS 11 including the iPhone 10 for pretty cheap too articles from Forbes now do you have to have the phone physically in their possession yep so you'd have to ship it to them and apparently it can cost as little as fifteen hundred dollars per unlock their service to determine or disable determine or disable that's a big difference actually because determining if you get someone's phone temporarily when they lost it and you ship it off and get their PIN and then get it back and get whatever you want and then be like oh my god I found your phone yeah not great yeah they can determine or disable the pin pattern password screen locks or pass codes on the latest Apple iOS and Google Android devices yeah brutal so we have to take this with the claim of with a grain of salt because celebrates business is breaking security of devices for like forensic data analysis so you know they might just be looking for some free press but it seems like it would be sort of a bad move to put out something that's designed to get you a bunch of free press and then anytime anyone contacts you about you can't actually do it yeah so they haven't even publicly announced it but apparently they're advertising the capability to their customers so it sounds pretty credible yeah it can determine or disable the pin the pattern the password screen locks or pass codes on the latest devices Wow Wow pretty brutal not a fan of this really that's pretty much it actually is there like anything else that happened this week that like is super important we don't have anything else in the doc because James has been busy on a really cool project have you even seen this yet no like you're so out of touch these days Wow so we built um your son in tennis why don't we play I'll play I'll lose but I've been down I'm done I'll get rekt but it sounds entertaining anyway it's a cool product so I was kind of inspired by the tape deck that we have in our house for some reason and you know how you use used to be oppressed like a physical button like a mechanical button to kind of to switch things so I was like you know what be really cool a gaming setup where you've got like a tactile button for switching between your different devices different devices yeah so cuz you know PC gaming is not the only kind of gaming yeah so James and Anthony collaborated we didn't actually end up with as cool buttons as I'd hoped they're like vandal resistant switches unfortunately but but what is cool is that I wanted to work like an RGB element into it so they built a desk not quite scratch built but like use the Ikea desk builder then modified it quite heavily that has a bunch of circuitry in the top including a an Arduino and an HDMI switcher so that what you can do is there's three RGB color coded lights on the front for the three gaming systems that are in shelves working their way down along down one side yeah and then when you so when you press the red one it does the top and then the RGB lighting in the drawer illuminates and the input switches on your monitor this legit sounds like a sellable so you're on your PC thing then you press the second button the RGB lighting illuminates matching the button the middle one and you switch to your Xbox press the third one you switch to your PlayStation 4 Pro that's really cool pretty cool right you guys should figure out how to sell this as a kit it's connect janky still it would require significant further development to make it ready for primetime I'll be so cool though but you know we okay so we know a lot of other guys out there have been doing like setups for a while yeah and so for us you know we we've had some ideas for setups like you saw the projector one right with the processor built into the Dow's very cool yeah so we've had some ideas for setups but like we really wanted to find a way to make sure that what we're doing is different from what anyone else is doing so that was where the idea of projector built into your desk or like a physical button to switch inputs between your different gaming systems came from and I like it I think this is something that we're gonna continue to do and you know I'd love to see people's ideas if you want to post them on the forum I am actually fairly active over there yeah I don't post a lot but I do read a lot yeah yeah I really I'm really happy with it alright so I think that's pretty much it cool we have a ton of people know that yeah viewing - we've got like six thousand viewers and then we've got a bunch of people cheering oh this is a new thing oh yeah so it used to just show the top cheer like ever yeah now it shows the weekly top Cheers and it like totals there Cheers so like this dude I'm a broke dude who's hilarious hilariously number one tear right now that's why you're broke yeah then maybe you stop that if he talks in chat if any of these top three talked in chat they have a little metal next to the name and Hisle show one his will show a - and be silver his Oh show three and be bronze and then the one guys got it okay new it's a new thing apparently there was there look oh I'm a broke dude shows one right next to him on a gold medal oh no there was other news ah the Xbox one x and the Xbox one s are getting 1440p support so that's dope what yeah that already be there no they supported 1080 in 4k oh and so now if you don't care about 4k which you probably shouldn't because you're gaming on a TV um oh so you can tell it oh okay okay cool right I see what you mean now that's very cool actually yeah okay I'm totally on board now apparently first I was like what the heck apparently there was a Nintendo switch news I don't know what it was what no no okay you can use a PlayStation 4 controller that's an article that I saw earlier that was gonna meet anyway I think the 1s and the 1x supporting 1440p is a way bigger deal because if you use a console at like in a dorm or whatever you probably don't have a 4k TV I probably don't have a TV at all you probably have your desk which if you're smart has like a big monitor so you can use that as a monitor and as a TV you're smart and you're a baller although they're not that expensive these days especially like compared to a TV anyway this point is a big monitor will probably be 1440p if you don't want to spend a whole bunch of money for 4k and anything if there's big screens in dorms at all they're probably TVs and they're probably real old right okay so fine if you're a baller student you can get one of those Korean 1440p monitors on eBay you can hook that up to your PC and now to your Xbox and you can get better image quality we know about the github thing github got nailed by a massive DDoS and they recovered real quick good job github there we go yeah it was huge though it's a gigantic DDoS but yeah they recovered quite quickly good job github see you again next week same bat-time same bat-channel bye slow mo from madrenas like yeah we're already past the 300 so um yeah good think you see does the greatest do does no no that's just someone we have the best DDoS
