Halla no I mean the Mike thing is bumping mm-hmm we'll see you people say just waiting on to chat to stop pressing you have to pay respect waiting on the chat come on yeah yeah thanks twitch chat welcome to the show lioness is here - - hi guys I'm Linus from maple ridge BC I enjoy socks sandals and badminton annual employee reviews and apparently camping - has gone camping Jon's on the show this week and we have a great show like every week I don't even know if we have enough topics to to call out in the intro thingy but we do a bunch of tech youtubers were accused of not disclosing Computex sponsorships or being paid to go to booths and all this other kind of stuff Jay from Jay's to sands has already released a full video about this I know a lot of people have been talking about this on a lot of tech I'm not sure who else did like a full-on video besides Jay but I know that Paul and Kyle and I think also some others at least addressed it on Twitter yeah gamers Nexus was talking about it as well like a lot of you were talking about on Twitter and then I know Jay made a full dedicated video outside of that Imran entirely sure but we'll talk about that unsurprisingly everyone in the YouTube tech review seen his friends so this got slammed down pretty fast with a collective effort of like what the f that's bull poop anyways moving on we'll talk about that more later there's a rumor that an eight-core version of the 8700 K is coming this fall people are thinking that they're just kind of Intel it's just kind of reacting to AMD because they don't really seem to have a logical roadmap anymore but well we'll talk about that later also AT&T closes the time warner deal is this like straight up like for suresies according um so i your arms look huge your machine I'm sorry he's off the camera yeah nick is over here off camera flexing for us and trying to distract us from the show with his pythons but yes I talked about this on tackling today okay yes this deal is apparently final so Wow the judge approved it like two days ago and I think they were just sort of chomping at the bit to get it done so Wow okay mm-hmm also we've got Apple is trying to stop developers from sharing data on users friends that sounds good probably yeah I don't know a rumor that the that there's an AMD Radeon rx 680 which like an expected price range of like three to four hundred bucks and a rumour that Windows 10 is going to run on a Google pixel book which is pretty weird but probably a good idea and we'll talk about smash brothers ultimate briefly open that may so yeah that's gonna happen oh yeah that's actually pretty sweet okay there are no good topics today interesting but yeah but then like things that other people care about other than me you won't care about this do you want that'll be pretty cool yeah oh right sponsors uh mas backpack savage jerky and LTX oh or sponsoring or sellin to ourselves it's amazing and set that back and here we have so much ill-gotten money according to this first topical and talked about and we can get sponsor ourselves yeah I think we're gonna bring Nick on four so the first topic of the day is going to be the tech youtubers accused of not getting up okay yeah yeah okay I'll just like stand in the back terribly I'll do it I'll do a slab squat in the back yeah well you're getting old by the a microphone it's like youtubers accused of not disclosing Computex sponsorships so Nick had the great idea of coming down as our business man to directly address sure it's pretty simple if we're paid by someone we we tell you that's literally it yes we visit sponsors booths yes we create coverage of sponsors booths we say that rate at the beginning of the video at the end of the video we do not charge an appearance fee just show up at a booth brands reach out to us they say we have interesting stuff and you should check it out and we say okay sure we might check it out and sometimes we do and sometimes we don't and that's literally how we do it so if you are concerned that the content that you're watching is paid for just check the beginning of the video and if it says this is sponsored by so-and-so then yes and if it doesn't say that then no and it also say that in the in the video description so it's literally that simple for for us yeah that's it cool so we're into the point yeah I'm gonna I don't know it's from my perspective it's like I don't know it's literally that simple if we're paid by someone we say it and if we don't say it then we're not paid by them to make that content that's it yeah yeah cool and I'll add some like more kind of anecdotes but that's that's more or less it I I think most people in the tech review space do sort of the same deal I can't think of anyone off top my head who doesn't disclose sponsorships that I've been able to notice but like if at a lot of the shows that I've done it's changed a little bit since I've been doing of shows but a lot of the shows that I've done the majority of the videos that come out of that show are not have nothing to do with the sponsorship for that show so like say say the Corsair because they sponsored a bunch of shows that I did in the past say Corsair is sponsoring it okay that works one video was at the Corsair suite they were a sponsor of the show we said that it was sponsored by them the other sponsor we had was LastPass so 90% of the videos were not about the sponsor comm 6 yeah so so 9 out of 10 videos were not about Corsair and oftentimes we'll have it where like I'm gonna use Corsair again I've done a show at PAX where Corsair was the sponsor and I covered like three or four competitors all positively and that was fine and everyone was okay and Corsair was happy and we were happy and everyone else was happy and just my experience with this which is like obviously a lot limited than someone like Luke but there's a couple of years since I've been to on the show for the company with CES but a big part of my job when I was at CES at that year was just go around and find interesting stuff um sponsorship money and he's no those sorts of considerations had nothing to do with I was doing it was just walk around take notes if something is interesting get some b-roll of it maybe we can do a video on it that was literally it there was never anything shady exchanged in the background so yeah yeah it'd be a bad idea for us to is tying our hands as to what we can do which makes no sense from a business perspective so what would be more intelligent taking some money now and potentially losing the trust of viewers or taking more money in the long while maintaining the trust of yours and partners like if you just think we're all about money the smart choice is for us to be honest about being then we have long longevity and when you have a company of 20 odd people I don't know the exact number but somewhere around there and Linus metre group is indirectly kind of propping up floatplane right now like that's a lot of people and literally companies to support you want a long-term solution you don't want to burst of money in a short period I think when scandals or alleged scandals like this pop up people tend to concentrate on short term like oh we have evidence of like this one deal that has this like impressive dollar amount on it maybe and that's office obviously like oh we have evidence of a thing that may have happened one time you know and that I think gets eyeballs it gets clicks as opposed to what you were just talking about where oh we're trying to like make as much as we can through like a long-term review of things and what's going to be sustainable for the long term that isn't particularly interesting to someone who wants to read about a youtuber scandal and like most tech youtubers that I know of that I've watched their show coverage of do it in generally the same way that we do I'm not saying anyone's copying each other I'm not getting into that that doesn't matter but it's you go to the show you do like your little right beginning the video call out thank you for bringing me to the show you make a video about whatever happens to be there that'll probably include one to two videos of the company that brought you plus a whole ton like the last show we were at 90% of the videos were from unrelated companies and then at the end of the video you often do another call out thank you very mu Computex and then you move on it's it's worked the same way for like five years or something yeah they will destroy everyone yeah yeah yeah I know but it was important to address because I know a lot of the other tech guys have been really vocal about this on Twitter and Jay made the video and I don't think we've really talked about it much we don't use the window for that kind of stuff yeah yeah okay thanks magic so yeah if you want if you want a little bit more information on stuff you can you can watch Jays video I don't remember exactly what it's titled but I think it's his second most recent video give me one second it's called the truth about how I earn money and it's kind of cool cuz he goes into more stuff than just shows he runs down basically the like breadth of his business he talked about the merchandising line he talks about other deals that he's done and how he's trying to grow stuff like his personal branded merch and whatnot it's a little bit like the honest answer so yeah did about how we make money although we're not accusing Jay of like hulking us Frank well no it's just a good it's a good thing to do I think so yeah I think it was a good it was really good timing and a good idea of his day to do his now and we did our as a while ago yes for what I believe a similar reason I don't remember or not I don't think there was one big specific specific event I think just there was a lot of fans working I think there was law of toxicity like in the comment sections of similar videos but it's mean like that like the Intel fans the AMD fans the Nvidia fans all going at each other's and trying to say oh here here's who which which company's line is face the Nvidia show thing or something like that I think yeah yeah because I remember in that video we talked about how like in videos given us almost nothing we just make a lot of videos about them because people like their stuff Hugh the biggest player in yeah GPS reso week and GPU videos do do really well so yeah we have our honest answers thing Jay has is truth about how I make money I recommend watching both of them I find them both very interesting yes even art like I knew all of ours already but even ours I think was was quite good and yeah the fact that gamers Nexus was included is hilarious because they just rip holes and everything they do so yeah like their their stuff is like so technical and in-depth and like if you know if if any youtuber is gonna try to get away with that kind of thing they would be they would have the hardest road I'm getting away with it so why no I don't know but anyways moving on to a rumor love them rumors we went from a rumor about us to a rumor about a tech company this is wonderful show so much less spicy though based on hardcore definite facts so anyways there's a rumor about an eight-core version of an 8700 k that could be coming this fall this is by guru 3d and it was posted by racking off on the forum I'm gonna post this into the twitch chat real quick whoa what did I just do what am i doing I wasn't holding ctrl I see there we go but yeah it's it's people are kind of speculating that this isn't really this wasn't really planned for oh that sucks am I using the right thing and whether or not it was planned for it does seem quite reactionary maybe it was coming I suspect even if it was coming it was gonna be coming later than it did end up coming I kind of think the truth is probably somewhere in the middle as we try to get our technical issues worked out here huh yeah I'm gonna keep going with that yes I will okay so but yeah what I was gonna say was um you know there's a question here in front of me this Intel even have their own roadmap anymore or are they just being reactionary towards what AMD is doing it might be a little bit of both um because all of there we go it's working out all of Intel's difficulties trying to get a 10 nanometer chip to market have been very very well documented right like oh what are they going to originally release 10 nanometer like a year ago two years ago something like that yeah yeah so so they have to do something to keep innovating clinical innovating in the meantime but you know AMD did they force Intel's hand here maybe a little bit I do think it's really ironic that we're seeing so what it's um how many years has been since the FX series from AMD came out I quite a while something like that so it's so it's so ironic now I think that Intel is reacting and trying to compete with AMD just by strapping more cores onto a CPU because an eight core i7 it's not something we've seen on the mainstream consumer end you had originally or before you had to buy an enthusiast platform and enthusiasm motherboard to do that so but eight core version apparently coming this fall no pricing information on that yet but it's interesting because you know obviously it is gonna be the most cores we've ever seen from intel on the consumer platform but it's Sumeria but it is kind of funny you know seeing is the big knock on AMD for a long time was oh they're selling these six and eight core CPUs but who cares they're not really giving anyone a benefit so yeah but aspect the thing was especially back then with Intel having so much of the market share no one was able to develop for that reasonably so now having AMD CPUs matter a lot more to be completely honest and having Intel have to react to that and pump out a bunch of chorusing yeah I mean there's a lot more cores across the field meaning it'll make a lot more sense for developers to push for it which would be really cool because I don't know if you guys remember this but I used to make cores for gaming videos and I would do like oh it's summer 2014 how many cores do you need to game with and we stopped after I made like three or four of them cuz we were like well you could watch any of these and get the answer because it was the same thing every single time so hopefully this will actually mix that up definitely we can make another course for gaming videos yeah you know and obviously there's been development challenges just with how you know the stuff is actually coded to spread the workload out load out among more cores but you know there might be more effort put into that now that what you were saying there's just more cores out there where you have a chip with 4 cores 8 threads or you know 6 and 12 is just a more mainstream choice now so it's it's you always have to have one obviously the software or the hardware has to come first usually it's easier for the industry if the hardware comes first I know with certain games that have come out and stuff it's been like wow hardware really isn't ready for this yet yeah like nothing can run this yeah yeah exactly and then that's usually a fairly uncomfortable spot for the industry to be in it's fun I enjoy that space but it's fairly uncomfortable for consumers to be constantly needing to replace all their stuff to be able to do anything so having the hardware first is good so we're gonna get eight core out there and get people used to it and have developers start using it more often that would be pretty sweet and awesome absolutely it is it is a little bit of a kick in the pants for people who recently I know someone specifically who like just bought a new processor that being said this isn't coming until fall so it would be a little while but like the 8086 i7 8086 k like just came out yeah it's pretty sweet but like if that was like a nice little stunt for however many weeks that ya ship to get but and then I was like ah coming this fall you've got an 8 core version 87 ok so it's like it's like what if you like spend a ton of money you buy a house and then house has like trim or it's um where the cabinets are a certain color or certain style that was that was in for like literally a month yeah then everyone thinks it's ugly this is yeah so we could bite the expensive cpu it's a bit like that so yeah I couldn't give two craps about cabinets but I totally understand the reference gotta get that resale value man it's it's great when you walk into someone's house who's been like perfectly maintained done a really good job of keeping their house up but they haven't changed a single thing in it since like the mid 90s they have like lurid pink wallpaper look like a large yeah it's actually so cool I just it's it's like a time capsule okay and moving on to something that I know nothing about at all so good luck AT&T closes the time warner deal this sounds terrible to me I don't know I don't know anything about it a federal judge ruled on Tuesday that ATS eighty five point four billion dollar bid for Time Warner was legal imposing no conditions on the merger all of this despite a lawsuit from the Justice Department arguing that the deal would be anti-competitive and oh my goodness how is it not I don't understand I can tell you a little bit about that please not me a quick second before you do that here I kind of bait and switch to you they're working on the verge calm for our source and thank you to Sherman tanker for posting this on the forum you're gonna go okay um so so when I was in law school just a quick disclaimer I didn't learn a ton about antitrust if you watch like if you watch tech wiki and the videos we've sort of done a like law in tech a lot of it has to do with intellectual property because I took a lot of intellectual property in law school so talking about copyrights and like what you can do with content online and how you can share and that sort of thing but well here's why I can't tell you about antitrust in just in case you even know what antitrust is yeah antitrust law basically concerns companies that get too big the idea of antitrust law was to prevent monopolies is to prevent one company dominating the marketplace for a certain thing you know imagine if the only company out there making Molly yours was LG for example that wouldn't be good you would have no choice and what you could buy so uh so with this um what's happening is AT&T which is obviously a huge telecommunications company they run you know back in the day that are most known for running phone networks these days or a huge ISP they just bought Time Warner which includes I'm some really big like media properties HBO CNN Warner Brothers basically everything Warner Brothers does is owned by Time Warner so what this is called is called a vertical merger and the reason is called a vertical merger is because you have one company buying another company that does something different or more specifically one company provides the other company with with supplies or as a plot or supply chain right so in this case Time Warner is providing content they're providing like I said they're um they own HBO and CNN so they're providing Game of Thrones or The Sopranos or The Wolf Blitzer show or whatever people watch on CNN I don't know what scene anymore but um so and but you know AT&T is the ISP so they're providing the content that 18t can't deliver down their pipes so that's what we mean by a vertical merger there's also a horizontal merger which is a little bit simpler where one company buys another company that does basically the same thing imagine if UPS spots FedEx for example right be a horizontal work but so when when the government so is that vertical merger would be like you you buy functionality and a horizontal merger would almost be like you buy market share yeah that's that's not a bad way to put roughly yeah you're buying lunch now you're buying supplies like yeah help you somehow you know right so like imagine if McDonald's like have their own farms vertical integration yeah Tesla has purchased a few like manufacturing companies yeah and like like companies that are into like tools and manufacturing and whatnot so that probably helps them vertically I'm not sure exactly how to classify that because I think um I think it was less of manufacturing yeah yeah I'm not exactly sure but anyway so um so so specifically talking about this um so the Justice Department of the u.s. took ATT to court afraid that this would make 18th he too big there's like an antitrust concern here with just way too much market power but legally it is and I was actually looking at the judge's decision which is like 200 pages long and full of legalese obviously earlier but one key thing he mentioned was that in a horizontal merger courts usually have a little bit easier time deciding you can just say oh you're buying another company that does something similar so let's just look at how much market share you'll have now and if it's too much market share we'll just say you can't do this and it's easy a vertical merger is a lot more difficult because you're by a company that does something else so these sorts of cases they tend to be very fact-intensive there is very case-by-case faced basis and just based on that alone the government immediately already had a tougher time proving his case to go in front of a judge and saying and say hey 18 he buying Time Warner is gonna be really bad for consumers um it wasn't good enough to get the court to buy it and the judge said get out and they let 18 to do the merger and that's kind of it so so people sing this in twitch chat and I there's one kind of just says board other than that dude that happens on every every store we talk about though I've someone said this into a chat and I've read this before online and some in the 80s or something they broke up AT&T cuz it's too big yeah and now they're letting them emerge and become bigger the idea back then and obviously you and I were both well what you were you was not alive okay Luke didn't exist and I was like tiny the a is always born in 87 but um back in the eighties before like everyone had the Internet AT&T ran a bunch of they provided don't completely quote me on this but I think what happened is they had both long-distance and local um telephone service and they just controlled so much of the telephone market I know they were a huge deal in telephone back yeah they could just control so much the telephone market and what ends up happening is the US government broke up their local operations into they call them the baby bells and these were companies that were spun off as independent but they serve like different chunks geographical chunks of the US but that's a little bit different because we're talking about the same thing as phone service this is a little bit different because you have an isp buying the folks who own HBO right yeah it's a little bit different ATT was divested in 1983 by the United States government it had natural monopoly over the communicate telecommunication lines such as tell ya exactly and they were the only group based that's right so yeah that's quite a bit different than it is now the baby bells were stripped up into pieces myself South Atlantic Bell etc they slowly consolidated back into companies like AT&T Verizon yeah that's right when I was a kid or local or local phone provider would spell south and they were one of the x.18 companies so interesting okay all right well moving on from that just in case your hashtag bored yeah and that dude in chat well it was really funny because this happens right as a net neutrality repeal it was a thing so yeah so hopefully there won't be fast lanes for Game of Thrones but I guess if you're a game of Thrones fanatic you'll be happy about that but the most pirated show let's see how that goes for them um Apple tries to stop developers from sharing use data on their users friends this immediately sounds like a good thing to me but I don't really know yet it's supposed to by an over five on the forum and the source we're gonna use is Bloomberg Bloomberg comm how is your so prou we use Bloomberg is a because you turn on Bloomberg TV there's always financial stuff going on I don't even know Bloomberg TV was the thing just seems very Pro you know anyway it was a cool name okay Apple Inc changed its App Store rules last week to limit how developers use information about iPhone owners friends and other contacts quietly closing a loophole that let app makers store and share data without many people's consent yay good thing thank you Apple for closing a said loophole I think that's kind of the gist of it I'm gonna get this nice lady off the screen cuz I don't know what she's actually talking about and we're gonna go back to here but yeah apparently many developers asked users for access to their phones contacts only use it for marketing or sometimes or sometimes to share and sell the information all without permission from the people listed in those digital address books that's the problem is that your phone your address book those people's information other companies running apps are able to take that and sell it whereas that's supposed to maybe only be used for like sharing things or seeing if you have other friends that are online you know how some games you can like import your address book and then see if your friends are online well they might sell that and that's bad I feel like this is a GE PR thing or it might be like they may have done this responsibly or like I don't that's just me speculating but it seems like the timing seems like that might be why well I think cuz it sounds like something that will be absolutely not allowed by the gdpr yeah where your data is getting used and you have no idea what's going on with it I just think in this case both companies might be a fault yes so I think apples trying to close their end but there's also a problem for app developers they would both be in trouble or that law for Apple for not like securing the data and passing it on and then the app developers were using it without permission so so apples probably just taking care of that definitely needs to be taken care of the new App Store review guidelines bar developers sorry the new App Store review guidelines bar developers from making databases of ad book information they gather from iPhone users sharing and selling that database with third parties is now forbidden probably should have been already but whatever an app can't get a users contact list say it's being used for one thing and then use it again for something else unless the developer gets consent again obviously this can still be abused but I think it's a vector for Apple to rip you off the app store so if they catch you doing this you'll get you'll get tossed right anyone yeah anyone caught breaking the rules may be banned this sounds like an extremely easy rule to break and probably not that hard of a rule to get away with breaking but at least they have it written out now but they can give you the boot if you do break it when users like like honestly it did yeah no it does this whole thing reminds he wasn't laughing a little bit is of in Android PE I think they took away the ability for apps to use your camera microphone in the background which was cool but I was like what were they doing before yeah like what were you like all the time before Android II yeah yeah when users install apps and then consent developers get dozens of potential data points on people's friends contact listen to contain phone numbers email addresses profile photos and tons of other stuff as you probably know so that database of information is probably quite valuable so now what they'll probably have to do is sell it to themselves as another company and then anonymize the data and sell it that way so that'll add one more loop that they have to jump through for Apple to not be able to catch them so alright at least Apple has cleaned their hands but this will still remain an issue just in case anyone was wondering moving on I just sort of assumed that everyone on the internet just knows everything about me yeah ease your way to live yeah yeah another rumor because this show again is only about things that are confirmed 100% true rumor AMD Radeon rx 680 the Radeon rx 680 will reportedly be powered by the Navi GPU architecture and will feature eight gigabytes of gddr5 to Nate CI or so an expected price range of 300 to 400 bucks that's actually really good looking at the stories about what and Vidya is gonna be allegedly because like you said this these are all one her percent confirm facts in the show of the show but um yeah but anyway um seriously there was everyone saying or lot people are saying July thirtieth for the what's Thea code name for the next nut bolt uh but it's um Oh what shad cuz right screaming at me with it right now I was writing about this earlier today and I've already forgotten it NVIDIA Road map what is your think all nope that's old just search that's full hold on I'll get it year old on twitch a streaming at me right now I'm sure touring touring touring touring like like oh yeah touring your ampere so here was the one I hadn't man so they're supposed to be released in snorkel they're supposed to be releasing touring at be end of July but it's just gonna be the higher end silicon to begin with as is tradition you know yeah so I the rumor is that the the high end card will cost between a thousand and fifteen her depending on how much of VRAM you get with it so something like this could be really appealing if you can say oh well I don't have a thousand dollars but I can spend three hundred fifty bucks on something with 1080 light performance so yeah someone in chat said please please please make this square bracket anecdote poopy for mining and great for gaming doubt it eight gigs of DDR six should probably be pretty smoking for mining well I mean I don't I don't know if you can you know really make a card like that you know what I mean cuz memory is super important for mining oh yeah I know but my point is just more like if he's worried about price yeah looks like it will be affordable because obviously there was this huge artificial inflation with the pricing we'll have to see like immediately after this card comes out a bunch of miners gonna get their hands on of it on on of it a bunch of miners will get their hands on it we're going slow today it's been like a long yeah has been a long week so we'll see how it goes but looking at its price point looking at its performance this could be a big card for mining but mining isn't all super hype right now yeah so maybe it'll be okay yeah things change quickly yeah like a couple months ago it was a completely different story and also this is an interesting side note Andy will release a navi 20 on 7 nanometer as a high end GPU in the 2020 to 2021 timeframe oh boy so seven nanometer GPU from AMD so keep your eyes out for that they're smashing it man it's cool I'm happy for them speaking of happy savage jerky I have a new favorite it's mellow jalapeno that's how I narrowed my friend oh oh well that was habanero sorry no doubt the other one do we have another thing over there this is habanero I'm very sorry it is no whole jalapeno I can't I was like holy cow I'm slow today no I voted a anyway we have the sponsor but this is my new favorite one I haven't had it before Moho is my like was my like my main squeeze before but now I've got some oh-ho jalapeno in my life and I I like it very much is there any one of these you like would you want one absolutely oh my goodness sriracha bacon done this is more Act there you go oh my goodness perfect sriracha bacon in case I prefer they're straight out you want Eve jerky they're both really good they are really growth very very good I've to be fair anyone who has the like bacon flavors I prefer the beef jerky ones oh okay so it's not a preference yeah yeah yeah it's it's not a savage jerky so whether so whether you like dead pig or dead cow savage jerky will have something for you guy you covered especially if you want some jalapeno um you guys know these guys as of now like the least surprising sponsor spot ever yeah I be savage your key is to the wine show as FreshBooks is to tech will key by this point pretty much um their drink is made with great ingredients no nitrates no preservatives they've got 13 different types of jerky 13 different flavors of jerky I should say people seem to love this ratchet bacon I'm super not surprised that John grab that one Mabel buffalo bacon is also super popular they also make barbecue sauce hot sauce and spice rubs they also have Carolina Reaper hot sauce which is the world's hottest pepper yes it's not the world's hottest hot sauce so you can actually like eat it and it's fine but it is made with the world's hottest pepper which is pretty insane they even got an awesome savage jerky gift tool bag that's really good yeah which includes four packs of jerky hot sauce herb blend or spice rub and it makes an awesome gift I've never want to bring up a picture of it yeah give me a sec mm-hmm savage jerky tool bag is pronounced with the agent in herb a Canadian thing a lot of Americans just British thing I think Canadians flip it back and forth interesting because herb and herb both sound perfectly fine to me there we go because Canadians are weird the morning oh here it is what the heck that's a but you get a husky toolbag uh-huh a straight-up husky toe bag is included okay I was expecting that was gonna be like kind of a fake oh part of it but it is not you get four bags of jerky one bottle of hot sauce one bottle of herb herb blend or spice rub one savage jerky koozie I've screwed that up before I think it's called it a kazoo oh but it's a koozie it's great and too savage jerky Snickers that's actually pretty cool and this isn't in my notes but I always warn people when there's certain special dates coming up on my Twitter but I'll do a wham show warning here it's Father's Day on Sunday so if you need something and they can get it to you fast enough I don't know what they're shipping speed is but this might be a decent idea jumping back to other sponsors let's do right and sorry savage jerky but the the link over here savage jerky calm use offer code LTTE save 10% so you can save money on the on the tool bag if you want to get that or you can just buy some buy some bacon and save money on it saving money on bacon is always a good thing hmm and moving on we have moss backpacks I love these bags and I do the same thing every time because it just makes me super happy but all of their bags have this really bright orange inside and it's lovely how well it shows up on camera too because it's just awesome and it really proves my point it's extremely easy to find stuff in here let's let's grab Moe whole jalapeno it even has orange on it it's still gonna be super easy to find crossbar anything look it's right there look how easy that is it's a black package in a bag that's often really really hard to find because most people make their bags with with black inside it's like a small touch it makes a big difference you know it really does I have a backpack that has an orange inside and I will never ever go back it also has the like the airport or zippers so you can lay your bag out like that really easy so you can get through everything super wide open it's got nice little like mesh things you have a bottle in there or some cards or whatever it has a little card that explains how you can use it if you don't want to listen to me and I like this too you guys aren't gonna be able to see this very well but in the thin top zipper you know how a lot of bags will have like the the small zipper at the top this one right here if you open that up the pocket inside is like a reinforced area it's not I don't think it's plastic or anything and it's covered in like a felt like material I probably called it wrong I'm not very good at identifying materials but it's a very soft type of material that's on top of some formed cup like shape so if you put something in there that's relatively fragile and you have big stuff in here that whacks into it it'll be okay because the cup thing is going to keep its shape and project protect whatever you put inside that's actually kind of cool that's a good idea I haven't really seen that in a lot of bags before we're showing off their other one as well if you want this is the black pack if you want a different type of bag one thing that I really like about these guys too is they'll have on different bags they'll have this guy can I pull this out uh-huh it's a wall plug why do you need a wall plug for your backpack well it's and it nicely tucks on the side of the bag as well so you don't even have to open up your bag to get ax or you don't have to open up the main compartments of your bag to get access to it that wall plug is for this this has a standard plugs you plug your laptop or something into it it has two USB ports one of them is already plugged in because the cable feeds through to the front of the case but you could unplug it put whatever you want in there the cable that comes with it is actually nice reinforced with a spring so that the cable isn't gonna like get damaged in your bag which makes sense because it's gonna stay in your back I don't know I think that's wonderful because you could just get home plug your bag into the wall and it automatically charges everything that's a when you're out the airport you just wanna charge all your stuff at once boom yes someone tweeted me after the last maus backpack sponsorship talking about like oh that's just expecting trouble because someone's gonna plug it into the wall and walk away from it and it's gonna get determined as a bomb just don't don't walk away from your don't walk away from it like most the plugs and airports that people design these airports generally know that people want to charge their stuff so most of the plugs are near seats have a sit do whatever you need to do if you want to go get some food or go to the washroom unplug take your backpack with you like you'd normally would so that people don't think it's a bomb in an airport that's like they say over the loudspeakers the whole time do not leave luggage unattended it is still luggage despite having a plug that was well I was going to say like I'm pretty sure they would treat it an unattended bag as suspicious even if there were warrant a cable sticking out of it yeah like it doesn't matter so yeah yeah so that has nothing to do with anything great backpacks I love the plug feature I love the orange I love the cup thing that they're doing but yeah check it out at the link below if you are on youtube or just check them out on Kickstarter if you look backpacks on Kickstarter Kickstarter interesting and should be good to go I think they're doing another campaigns these guys definitely have had laptop so before I personally know someone who has bought them off of their website so I'm assuming it's a it's a new thingy they're doing on on Kickstarter I'm like I'm assuming that's the black pack with their Kickstarter Inc anyways beyond there we have LTX LTX expo if you want to come visit the team meet the team meet me even though I'm not on the team hoho that makes sense come to LTX it's only need up an interactive tech event the interactive part here is important I feel like it always takes away I feel like we need to get like testimonials from people that go next time so we can play this just an event about passive absorption yeah thing I feel like it takes a little bit away from it because it's an event we are holding and I'm the one talking about it but LTX is legitimately one of the coolest events I've been to I've only been to one because there's only been one but the interactive part is super cool because you go to these conventions and when I went to conventions when I was younger they were a little bit more grungy a little bit less planned out and there was a little bit more hand on action because like I remember pax when I first went there they just be Hocking prizes out of the booths there'd be more hands-on stuff because the smaller con it was a smaller con they were just worried about things then they started getting in trouble for different stuff and they had to close it down we are keeping that in mind we don't want to get in trouble for stuff but we're keeping all the booths interactive so like one of the really cool things that's coming this year is how to do D lid your CPU so you can bring a CPU and you'll have professional people showing you how to deal it it in person where else can you get that I literally think no we're really cool every single booth is going to have some type of interactive setup with it current booths include a blind cable management competition brought to you by cable Mod ad lidding workshops you can bring your CPUs and I'll show you how I deal it it case toss 2.0 hope I'll do better than I did multi-headed VRA 20 PC land brought to you by iBUYPOWER the 12k ultra wide gaming setup and tons tons more I guarantee there will be tons more there is already tons where I don't know why it's not listed here probably just cuz it'll be way too much to say there's also gonna be fooling hold music cool systems to look at more room more swag and more special guests than last year there will be exclusive live unboxings just like last year and more you can come hang out with us the ticket start at $35 Canadian and you can check them out through the link below or because you're watching on twitch right now get or unless you're watching this later that's I said right now and that's relative so if you're watching it at 5:49 Pacific time yeah on on Friday then the link is just LTX Expo calm but if not link below it's only 26 50 USD for our American viewers it's nothing yeah it's not it's not that expensive and it's a really fun convention I want people to go I want people to go because I want to keep doing it because it's it's literally last year's was more fun for me than last year's packs was and I've been doing a pack since hose yeah the last term's LLC X was very enjoyable I it was a real hard percent with that even like as an attendee I'm gonna be 100% honest here I didn't invite most of my like personal friends to LTX here yeah because I was like it's probably just gonna be a fan meetup there's gonna be a few things to do but it's really mostly gonna be a fan meetup and then I was like holy crap I feel pretty bad cuz it was really fun and none of the none of them came so I didn't invite them so rekt but they're invited this year because it won't be good moving back to normal news whoop wrong screen yeah stop beating that savage jerky man it's so good nope keep going who cares okay it's your bag as far as I'm concerned that's true you don't have to stop uh let's move on new iOS security feature has already been bypassed whoo boy this was posted by Captain to fire on the forum and our source is the forum but yeah iOS 12 introduces a new USB restricted mode that makes it harder for law enforcement agencies to thwart iPhone security USB restricted mode requires that an iPhone be unlocked with a passable with a passcode when connected to a computer via USB if the device has not already been unlocked in the last hour Wow meaning phone hacking and forensic tools shouldn't be able to unlock phones in an email obtained by vice a forensic expert claims that gray shift has already defeated Apple's new USB restricted mode in a beta build USB restricted mode is currently in beta testing and will launch to the public soon according to Apple it's this big like cat-and-mouse game between an asshole and the government yeah and this is just the latest chapter of that there was some and there was some District Attorney down in Louisiana who was saying that Apple was literally promoting criminal activity by doing this and I'm just sitting here like if you won't people to take you seriously and be on your side maybe don't say things like that but regardless of how you feel about it this the fact that's already been defeated is a little bit humorous to me just because like I said there was just constant arms race between it's like Apple and these um these law enforcement folks who cuz the FBI has been lobbying for years and years to try to force Apple to have a backdoor into their products if they want to do an investigation so yeah I think it could have something to do with the baten s of the bill because they they beat it on the beta possibly um and we have had security firms lie about beating apples security before mm-hmm eventually they've kind of figured it out but they've they've lied in there what do we know about gracious who knows off the top of my head not a ton I've heard of them before great shift they cellphone unlocking services great shift iPhone unlocker mysterious $15,000 gray key promises to unlock iphone x4 whatever yeah they're there a phone unlocking thing I've heard of them before I just wasn't sure to be fair if it's that I'm starting to remember a little bit more about them now if it's them they probably did it oh so rekt I guess yeah oh well we'll see if it holds through with the beta but even if it doesn't when you've got groups like grey shifts constantly consistently going after your stuff and making a profit on it in a government-sanctioned way you're probably boned yeah you because you have an incentive especially everything jakab all right so like at some point yeah that sucks Microsoft to help Walmart get rid of cashiers oh my Microsoft is reportedly working on this was posted by no one maybe but our sources are Technica com Microsoft is reportedly working on technology that removes the need for cashiers and check-out lines in store is similar to Amazon's technology already implemented in its Amazon go brick-and-mortar store so Microsoft is essentially doing the same thing as them the exact technology isn't explained but it may be linked to the company's new Kinect for a sewer project this project builds on connects current abilities and can be used to execute spatial mapping and motion tracking well it's unclear how far along Microsoft is in developing this technology the company has reportedly shown sample tech to potential partners and has even talked to Walmart about implementing it directly Amazon is expected to open new go locations in Chicago and San Francisco soon Microsoft is making interesting moves this is a big deal to me because yes because ok so Amazon go they're putting the technology they have one store in Seattle buying two more ok and they're gonna put in Whole Foods right I mean they're I mean they're all as big as Walmart but they're a big chain this to me it's like Microsoft a well I'll see your little dinky operation at Whole Foods and I'll raise you Walmart you know so we're talking about like the biggest retailer in the US and Microsoft is trying to it just it looks almost like Amazon's trying to like own the full stack essentially like they want the store they want the technology in the store they want everything and Microsoft is like no we don't need everything we just want to have this well see if they can do it cuz I think the challenge here is that Microsoft sort of cloud processing processing capability it's not quite as big a mythologies with AWS so we'll see how that works out for them yeah that's quite interesting huh well we'll see though because Microsoft buying github and making this move right now is probably what the kind of stuff that they need to do I don't know if it's best for consumer interest but if I'm just thinking about this from a Microsoft point of view this is the kind of stuff that they need to do they were they were early with the whole Windows thing they were early and on the ball with technology back then then they tried for quite a while with different hardware stuff obviously Xbox was quite successful but outside of that Windows Phone Zune okay Zune was amazing well the product may have been good but it just didn't catch on in the marketplace or - yeah so Zune music software was sweet yeah soon itself was amazing it just didn't it didn't they were just like to the party they're just late to the party coz by the time Zoo like was like really you know B people started reviewing positively like oh I pod was already a thing so yeah yeah yeah I wish I do really wish that Zune kind of took off but it didn't so I feel like everyone is pivoting their business a little bit these days it's like it's like every large firm is doing it to some degree it makes sense qalaat of the guys have been doing the same thing for a long time speaking of Microsoft steam is dropping Windows XP and Vista support in 2019 this was posted by sc2 Mitch on the forum again we always have one from him it's there starting on January 1st 2019 steam will officially stop supporting the Windows XP and Windows Vista operating supposed to have to pay respects this means that after that date the Steam client will no longer run on those versions of Windows I suspect it's just not getting updates they could lock out access to the steams they could because it's essentially a breath they're going to but they could so the newest features in steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome which no longer functions on older versions of Windows yeah so I don't think you'll get updates for the remainder of 2018 steam will continue to run and launch on Windows XP and Windows Vista but other functionality and steam will be somewhat new features such as the steamed chat will not be available I don't know if people running those systems will care so we'll see Gmail can remind you to reply that's actually super cool as part of its new design gmail has started resurfacing old unanswered emails with a suggestion that you should reply by bumping the email thread to the top of your inbox Gmail also breaks the chronological order of your inbox which is kind of poo but you can probably disable this Gmail lets you disable all smart features a very next note some users don't want smart categories important emails first and smart reply suggestions you can tick off the boxes to just emails to reply to and suggest emails to follow up on if you don't want to see this orange text ever again I do want to see it personally so I'm gonna leave that there this is me spitballing um I'm but I'm guessing they probably integrated like the UM the priority feature you don't like work more certain things so they use yeah cuz cuz you would hate you would hate you know for it to tell you to Paulo to email hey walmart.com say sale you know save 50% on paper towels you know and you wouldn't we get nags to reply to that but yeah so someone in chat said Steam did a hardware survey a while back they probably saw it wasn't worthwhile to continue support yeah I recently checked it out because I was I was having a bad day and I was really frustrated with the fact that my stream deck from El Gato didn't work on when I was 8.1 and it would like it hurts my brain that that doesn't work and it's so confusing because it's actually a pretty sweet piece of tech and like alternatives that actually do all of the same things are way more expensive in in most cases and alternatives that do almost the same thing well they don't they don't do quite the same way they'll news yeah and it's not even that I need it mm-hmm I don't I could just use a MIDI controller but I like it's cool it's nice and small the buttons are all framed you can change what this shows on the screen it's a really cool device and it only works in Windows 10 doesn't make any freaking sense to me and what drill mean nuts was because people have a hacked it and forced it to work on other operating citizens by checking by just all they did in the one case was they took out the check that checks if you're on Windows 10 and it just works it doesn't work anymore they updated it and now it doesn't work but it did for a little while and I can't find what's the rationale to stop them from working on Windows a1 I I haven't got what I think of as a satisfactory answer I'm sure there's something what they've been saying is it's just too much to support but what drove me nuts about that was that just taking the flag out made it work but then technically they have updated it since then and it doesn't work anymore I doubt they forced that guys hack to not work so they probably just used something that doesn't work on previous versions of Windows and now it doesn't work it's just the thing that drives me nuts is I looked into the steam hardware survey and all the people not using Windows 10 is a pretty huge market share and I can't imagine that it wouldn't be worth the dev work to have that available market share now something that they may have done in terms of market research is looking at well the people that aren't using Windows 10 are they willing to buy it maybe they're not using Windows 10 because they don't have the money to have a newer computer that's possible I don't see the merit in that but that could be what Elgato seeing I wonder if it has to do anything with just some sort of cya kind of security thing where they're just saying oh well it's an older version of Windows it's just kind of less secure by default and we don't want to be blamed if something goes wrong with our product because they're running like an older version of Windows it could be a simple was at so who knows yeah someone said it was free to upgrade yeah but some people with like I'm talking yeah some people no that's a good point I don't know I don't know what their reasoning is I I can't understand it doesn't make any sense to me but anyways I was looking up steam hardware surveys to try to justify my rage because I really really really want this thing to work but I cannot use Windows 10 because I will rip my eyes out so anyways I can't use the freaking stream deck because I can't find the executable for the version that works with just the flag taken away I can find I can github download they'll like hack that removes the flag that's fine I can't find the executable for the Installer that works that way and I don't care about whatever new updates they have it doesn't matter to me at all so yeah anyways that's why I've seen ya there's basically no one running XP and Vista and steam anymore morale this story erielle because I looked up the steam hardware surveys and yeah it's a pretty small percentage so when the chat said Windows 10 is fifty five point five percent Windows seven is thirty three point five seven percent Windows 8.1 is only four point zero seven percent yeah that's fine my thing is if they make it work for Windows 7 which is thirty three point six essentially percent of the audience which is a huge percentage it will work for eight point one it will it or it'll be one of the situations where we can just remove the flag of them saying that it won't work for eight point one and it'll install just fine I'm not trying to say that everyone uses Windows 8.1 I realize I'm in a very small category there but Windows seven is huge and I want to lean on that to be able to get support for older versions of Windows that will essentially include Windows 8.1 yeah because 7 to 8.1 compatibility is like very good going to Moore's a little bit more to stretch though so yeah yep yeah anyways that's it for the wine show oh is that it yeah I think so there's no other topics Super Smash Brothers is going to have 65 characters for switch is that not in here I'm looking right at it why did I not see it what other news did I miss that's basically it though okay yeah I'm gonna just scrolled right over it yeah it's a bajillion characters I think they said every everyone's ever fought in a smash game is in this game okay is it true though because I saw people talking about why Luigi was wild Luigi ever in a smash game I don't know maybe it's a trophy I don't know if you could actually select him to fight though I forget whoa motherboard vice.com has a counterpoint FY luigi he doesn't deserve to be in the new smash bros that's a little aggressive guys yeah he's kind of an irritating character I think he might have a point oh my goodness it's uh yeah so everyone that's in Super Smash Bros ultimate except for why Luigi essentially while Luigi missing from Super Smash Bros ultimate I don't care someone might care maybe he was left out intentionally maybe maybe he'll be DLC could you imagine I could just imagine the storm that would happen if they had like the waluigi dlc yeah they'll be really funny this'll be great yeah cost sixty bucks so there there is a new score counter that pops up during one-on-one fights when anybody is Kayode each fighter has gotten some kind of graphical tweak to some degree which makes sense there's two new playable characters Ridley the alien pterodactyl boss from the Metroid series and Inklings the squid kids from splatoon they were already in Mario Kart you just added them to these national so I don't know if yeah anyways fighters must now choose their battleground stage before picking a character that's different it's always the other way around right yeah that's weird that actually makes sense it says due to professional players favoring certain stages for certain characters yeah okay let make sense a picture-in-picture preview window when any combatant when any Kamiya when any combatant is launched off the screen that also makes sense to me but yeah apparently it will launch on a nintendo switch on December 7th 2018 cool just in time for Christmas sounds like I'll be getting yet another game for my switch on December 7th 2018 they should have releases on Black Friday just to see the meltdown oh I'm really happy they didn't just like just like the parking lot but weapons yeah yeah yeah I would love to see that Hyrule Fight Club 24/7 pretty much roecastle is the is the is the only map for me boy but yeah anyways that's actually it for winch oh well that was probably loud sorry headphones and we'll see you next week when your ears stop bleeding
