all right welcome to the Wynn show we are restarting due to some technical difficulties so you'll have to bear with us we've got a lot of great topics for this week the HP lead x3 leaked a Hollywood Hospital succumbs to a hacker to a hacker and the federal judge orders Apple to help the FBI decrypt an iPhone 5c Apple responds with an open letter oh yeah the last thing is the Pentagon orders windows tend to be installed on approximately four million devices by January 2017 that's cruzi yeah that's crazy well guess why that's crazy later in the meantime I'm gonna roll the intro but bow or maybe they do want a redo of Windows XP where they run it forever so they just like okay it has been 15 years we are ready to run a different operating system for the next 15 years and for some reason we've decided today we there are a lot of things I like about Windows 10 but there are certainly some that I do not okay so let's kick this off for those of you watching live on Twitch we're wondering what the heck just happened there where I was literally mid-sentence literally not touching anything well that was my life in a nutshell I stand here totally innocently hands-off everything doing absolutely nothing wrong and stuff dies so this is the graphics card that was in the wind show PC before we started streaming today for some reason the shroud is like oh wow which is not a thing that it was like before so that's confusing this is a five 550 ti that is no longer good so I'm gonna go ahead and you know find out what's inside it what the heck is not that shroud I don't know like I don't understand pieces of plastic falling out of it I don't understand what's holding this piece on and I don't understand what made this piece fall off well like something broke there's like chunks of plastic falling out of it but the thing about that is that no it hasn't been touched since it was installed and no one ever touched the graphics card that a hard core right there there we go oh yeah so they clip on to the to the heatsink itself I guess so let's just had enough of your crap 550 ti I'm trying to trying to do it without like breaking it pretty pink it's kind of dead I know it's kind of dead but it's only kind of dead maybe that's part of the problem maybe sometimes I just have too much faith in in hardware's ability to be like only sort of dead I should just kind of go okay we got one driver crash that's it time for the bin also I'm sitting in a chair that some moron tilted the base of it like way back so I'm like sitting with my legs up like this basically like in like my body's in like a v-shape and it's making my back hurt so I'm in Akintola foul mood today but that's okay because it's all about you guys and we have a stream to do so damn it in the twitch channels are doing a stream virtually arcing you are they virtually hugging me thank you you know what twitch chat you should okay so we've already named their news alright so federal judge orders Apple to help the FBI decrypt the San Bernardino killers iPhone 5c Apple responds with an open letter to their customers that is obviously also intended to address the FBI's demands so this was posted originally by blaze 756 in the forum I'm gonna go ahead and pop up that message a message to our customers on apple.com the United States government has demanded that Apple take an unprecedented step which threatens the security of our customers we oppose this order which has implement k2 implications far beyond the legal case at hand because on the surface this all looks very reasonable okay we need to get some information off of this killers phone in order to better investigate the case or whatever it is they need to do I'm frankly once you kill someone you kind of as far as I'm concerned you're kind of fair game you know if someone needs to snoop around in your stuff to find out how many people you've been killing or how you killed them or where you put the bodies then I think you kind of give up your you give that up at that point um but Apple makes a good point what the FBI is effectively asking them to do is build in a backdoor so they're asking Apple to make a new version of iOS circumventing several important security features and then they want to install it on an iPhone recovered during the investigation so in the wrong hands this software which does not exist would have the potential to unlock any iPhone in someone's physical possession because that is a really interesting point the iPhone and iOS the one way that you could break into it would be an iOS update yeah that does not have the security features that Apple believes should be in there so Apple actually made a choice in 2014 to remove itself from being able to access encrypted devices so that means if you know grandpa you know Joe and grandma Jill or whatever one of them dies and the other one can't get into the phone or the iPad Apple straight-up cannot decrypt the device um and you know there's a there's a lot of arguments to be made on both side personally I totally respect that yeah I think respecting the users privacy is the right thing for Apple to do especially in the context of what their competitors are doing whether it's Microsoft or Google where it's all about collecting customer information collect collect collect monetize all that stuff I think that's one of Apple's truly differentiating points in the marketplace today and like a really good one and I found this kind of weird for a while and I'm happy that the tech community tech community seems to be getting behind Apple for this because for a long time we've been kind of talking on stuff like the land show about that you know really horrible Android security and like all these other giant security problems than Apple's just sitting over there with like kind of a great ecosystem in terms of security and things and whatnot and everyone hates on them everyone loves to bring up the fappening but that was not an apple encryption breach no that was that was social engineering allowing people to get their hands on someone else's data which which they're honestly know no amount of ain't nothing Apple can do can can prevent that now see it's already twitch as yeah we know we know people are like Luke looks so tired yeah I don't even understand why it's been such a long week like it just has everything I've done has just been hard this week oh yeah I'm like this is my 10th video because for for tech quickies one channel super fun right theoretically for LCD you see I didn't even get that much done in one way and yeah so there you go anyway so where are we at here doo doo doo doo like I said John the tech cookies weren't that hard but like it's it's still a lot of stuff and like the one - tech tips that isn't done yet oh yeah I mean it's possible that a few of the people that are helping me or even watching right now I'm just like oh yeah wow that's gonna be a fun series to update in the future anyway back to the the Apple thing Apple has several days before it has to file a formal response the Justice Department says that Apple's defensive encryption is just a marketing stunt which I totally do not agree that that is the case at all and if neither side is happy with Apple's response the case will be escalated to the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and could escalate as far as the supreme court taking up to several years this is great Donald Trump you are the man Donald Trump calls for an Apple boycott until they respond until they decrypt the phone basically it's like okay a you've clearly shown that you don't understand what the larger issue is here and B I think that's probably that's about it I I genuinely think that there is a very good chance he will be President though really I really do we'll see I truly do I don't know enough about American politics speaking of presidential candidates this was supposed to by Sam Fisher on the forum original article here is from the BBC and John McAfee has offered to decrypt the phone says he only needs three weeks and he will use social engineering in order to do so and he is also I didn't even know this but also apparently running for president as a libertarian what yeah um hold on a second let me just so if you guys don't know who John McAfee is you probably should you know that annoying software which by the way he has nothing to do with anymore he left the company ages ago but that McAfee software that's him he made you know commercial antivirus for basically the first time I think is is his sort of claim to fame he's kind of crazy yeah I'm a very entertaining way yeah he's kind of crazy so I mean he's he's got that at least he's got some of the right ideas here though that's for sure he's keen to unlock the device himself because he doesn't want Apple to have to implement a backdoor and I mean this is a this is a really good point from Tim Cook and he says the government suggests this tool could only be used once on one phone but that's not true once created this technique could be used over and over again on any number of devices in the physical world it would be the equivalent of a master key capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks no reasonable person would find that acceptable and I agree with them 100% apparently so does John McAfee so he basically says if Apple creates this tool and implements this backdoor it will be the beginning of the end for America that's maybe a little rare which is a little much but maybe maybe a little bit sensationalist but says also that he will eat his shoe on television if they can't break the encryption on the phone so there's that anyway here here's the McAfee 2016 page just in case you were curious I don't think cath I don't think anyone is actually planning to vote from me that's his website so bad I what that uninstall the system Wow wow that looks horrible pretty sure this is a joke I may be wrong though cuz I legitimately I legitimately hadn't heard that he was running and I legitimately cannot possibly believe that this is true I'm sure that twitch chat is I'm sure twitch chat is exploding right now but people saying I'd vote for I'd vote from pack of me you should love you guys all right what's going on there I don't know I don't know why is life hard hi why do you mean oh okay all right it's settled down all right everybody needs to just settle down okay thank you I hate this I hate today I just want to go to bed I just want to go to sleep and be done with today which I'm not gonna be able to do because I need to fix that server after work today so all right this is good this was posted by ragnarok Adele my back is so sore from sitting in this chair like this switch I know it's okay because I want the pain right now because the pain will fuel my anger for after the show when I go and find whoever set it up like this take their chair away from them rip it out from under them and put this chair under them so that they can experience what they have done that is why I want to sit in the chair so the Pentagon orders Windows tend to be installed on all four million of its pcs by 2017 so if your company hasn't yet upgraded to Windows 10 your AI dee' IT department is quickly running out of excuses actually I can think of a lot of excuses um dude should we take turns coming up with excuses you want the low-hanging fruit go for search yeah go for it search so you basically can't find anything ever on a computer that's running over there I needed to install heaven benchmark just because I I needed heaven benchmark I installed it and then typed heaven in the Start menu and nothing came up okay this is a fantastic demo this is my favorite Windows 10 search is terrible and this is this is I'm talking when the Start menu opens we've got a couple machines here in the office that have issues with the Start menu even opening like oh yes yeah yeah it's a global I know yeah on my machine upstairs what I usually have to do to search for something is click Cortana once then click it and Skype what part of what I did sounded like I'd like to talk to you right now all right so what I have to do is I have to click it once then again and then I can click the start menu and I can get that open okay so get this okay so this is a great tool Rufus for creating bootable thumb drives so alright you've got a lot of great suggestions here our Rufus Rufus Wainwright yeah I heard there was a secret chord that Microsoft played and it made their Start menus work internally so they apparently aren't aware of these bugs just playing Rufus here we go Rufus USB Rufus and mer jog whatever that oh look at this oh oh it did find a search result on my computer that's weird why did it find the folder but not at all why there was something I was looking for on my computer I don't I can't say the name cuz it'll spoil the video that's coming up but I typed in the name of the program that I needed and it gave me the config file and not the executable I was just like why I've ran the executable so many times and I've never read the config file like it's just frustrating cuz Windows 8 it works fine Windows 7 I can search for Rufus I'm very sorry you guys I just realized I accidentally killed all of the entire thing we don't know the compressor is the compressors not working sorry for screaming sorry for screaming anyway I'm up I'm upset about that because I searched for Rufus a lot because I never remember where I put it and apparently I'm kylo Ren his voice is the unstable lightsaber yes thank you this is my mask this is my I'm tired man as I'm posting the rest of the winch oh all right anyway so this will be the largest deployment of Windows 10 since its released six months ago and represents a huge milestone for Microsoft because if there is anyone that it is difficult to get to upgrade their their Windows operating systems it is the military so the funny thing about this is a lot of the machine being upgraded are gonna be Windows XP machines or newer machines that are running in Windows XP just for the lulz yeah so the upgrade will include Windows hello which is their biometric security system that's embedded into the OS that allows you to use fingerprint scanners or even retinal scanners or sign into Windows or yes it actually allows you to use a variety of different authentication methods yeah I kind of feel like Windows hello hasn't been vetted to the point where I would want it deployed in a military application but evaded I doubt it yeah well sorry usually I can like I can contain yawns for the sake of having something resembling a modicum of professionalism throughout this show but I am just bushwhacked like my whole family got sick this week between you did it might know I was going to ask you earlier today if you go so between my son and daughter and wife there were probably somewhere between 15 and 20 upchucks in the last three days like everyone was sick my aunt got sick our babysitter got sick I am still not sick but my aunt was saying apparently this bugs you can stay contagious seven days after you stop showing symptoms so there is still plenty of time for me to get hit by it but let's go ahead and talk about and talk about this it's kind of there's kind of a big deal the HP Latex three weeks before Mobile World Congress this is supposed to by casual gamer on the forum let's go ahead and pull up the WM power user and dot-com Windows Mobile power user com that's the kind of site that you start thinking like some day Microsoft will get their crap together and there will be someone who wants to visit this site Oh anyway this does look like a pretty darn cool little device it features a Snapdragon 820 processor four gigs of ram 32 gigs of storage - up to 200 gigs have expandable microSD storage ip67 water and dust resistance I'm a 16 megapixel rear camera take a look at the front camera oh yes here's this is where it gets really interesting so it's got a Type C USB 3.0 connector on the bottom and apparently support for continuum so if you don't remember what continuum is because Microsoft talked about it and then promptly there was nothing thing used it so we all forgot about it continuum allows you to have the desktop ish experience with your mobile device by using a USB type-c adapter to go out to HDMI or some kind of a display output to a full-size monitor and even breakout to USB input devices like a keyboard and mouse pretty freakin six so because there is an arm compatible version of Office what you could do is you could actually work on like office documents on your keyboard and mouse save all your work to your phone unplug bippity bop off you go and you can use it as a phone continuum also allows you I mean this is all in theory I've never personally used it also allows you to use your phone as a touchpad if for whatever reason you are one of the bizarre human beings who uses a touchpad when they're at their desktop as they're like for some reason to do that I do too and people are like yeah gestures you know here's a gesture this is called the right finger down gesture brings up the contextual menu a lot faster than you know touch and hold and people are like oh but like gestures and I'm like here's a gesture it's called shortcut keys on your keyboard like keyboard shortcuts yeah thank you keyboard shortcuts um some people would get that oh right oh yeah people are upset we're not posting the links in chat I forgot and apparently you forgot anyway we're sorry we're sorry we saw we're terrible all the way guys can you guys can hate on us all you want be completely honest I know you're in like everything has to suck right now mode but that that is my job okay but that's okay that doesn't help me everything sucks now you suck I had faith in you haha all you've done is drag me down even more now way to go Luke no it's okay I'm not mad I'm just disappointed this is a cool topic so this was posted by kami SH SS on the forum and it is the ringing bells freedom 251 smartphone I'm gonna pull up the gadget NT Dendy TV calm article here this is by far that okay Wow wow I have never seen a pop-up like this site will open in five seconds if you do not click it away it clicks on the pop-up for you that is awesome you are a terrible terrible sight gadget 360 look at the ads oh man whoa Wow providers okay with Wow all right down Wow ads on the side and then all the sudden is just like Wow 10 Canadian dating sites that really work I want to know what those Canadian dating sites are I've never even heard of that top 7 get that right even the web sites called top 10 I'm just disappointed Ashley Madison isn't on here so yeah I'm pretty much done with that now all right so here we go ringing bells is set to officially unveil the freedom 251 smartphone so the price is because it costs 251 I believe RS is rupees because this is in India I'm fairly sure that they also have the rupee in India we also have the rupee in Canada now ever since the the dollar it slid with the price of oil anyway I digress so what that's equivalent to is approximately four dollars four dollars I mean real dollars not Canadian dollars four dollars making it the cheapest smartphone in the world and it goes on sale I believe yesterday looks like it was a yesterday at 6 a.m. now there are some issues with the way they're bringing it to market you have to reserve it online which if you're gonna kind of go okay this is the device that's gonna like connect the Indian people who have no devices and no connectivity then they may not have an internet connection or a device to do that but maybe they have a buddy or library or whatever else you know yeah you know hopefully get that figured out and the other issue with this launch is that it is unclear at this time whether this is an ongoing price or whether this is I'm a starting price or something yeah whether it's just a promotional starting pricing if it is an ongoing price obviously it's heavily subsidized in fact let me just pull out it I think it was an Indian Express com had a really good article about it as well here let me just let me just pull this up this site is significantly less obnoxious but let's see if they have any dating advice apparently they really the government has given I've been giving them immense support through the make in India program mm-hmm however this is what's weird because there's actually a sticker that is covering up that it is actually an ad comm icon for which is significantly more expensive so it's just got a sticker on the rear panel to conceal that branding so that's not even an Indian made device well so I don't really maybe the sticker get that yeah by the phone and call it a component and they put the sticker on it and I get boom it's made yeah so let's talk let's talk specs so to be clear that other device I think costs about the equivalent of something like forty or fifty dollars so that's closer to what it actually cost to make a device like this I saw an estimate that it costs about $40 to manufacture this thing so the issue if this is just an introductory price is it sets a really unrealistic expectation for smartphone pricing because we are we are so far away from $4 being achievable for a device that's running android 5.1 lollipop a four inch qHD IPS display Wow yeah is that even right I'm a little bit worried about whether that qHD IPS display spec is right all the other ones are like wow that's impressive that one's kind of you might be HD it's got to be it's got to be HD and I I would be surprised if it's actually I pass do you want to investigate that yeah okay anyway it's got a 1.3 get your heads quad core I gig of ram 8 gigs of storage expandable storage by up to 32 gigs and a 3.2 megapixel rear camera 1450 million power battery 3G support dual SIM support and a one-year warranty 4 inch IPS display resolution unspecified there you go alright so that's more like it so wait did you know the name of that phone that they're just restoring I can look that up ah yeah but they I mean you never know they may have actually made some changes like it's possible that they reused tooling but then oh so I remember this is there's a lot of corners you have to cut to sell a smartphone for college okay so it's like it's like a bunch of casings we're like a bad batch or something and they were like do you we don't know what to do with these whoa whoa don't throw those in the garbage we'll put our phone in it that I don't actually be a thing I think that's entirely impossible No so the other sort of- take away if this is not ongoing pricing is that it actually does nothing to revolutionize the connectivity of India and the Indian people as a country and as a the people in that country mom especially because like if it gets out that it's not a permanent price a whole bunch of people just gonna buy it and flip it yep and then you end up with it costing and it's and that's one of those things that frustrates me it's like I don't mind stuff being expensive actually like I don't I don't mind charging a fair price for a good product i if you have a good product that is worth X amount I would liked I would rather see the manufacturer take that margin that they earned by designing and bringing this good product to market I'd rather the manufacturer take it then some jerk on eBay yo yeah so I didn't get where I was going with it yeah yeah Wow it's kind of like the it doesn't work this way but how annoyingly frustrating it is to have to purchase scalped tickets yep or brand-new game consoles yeah like PlayStation fours and to a lesser degree Xbox ones back when they launched oh yeah for sure when something is in severe demand and people just grab it flip it it's really annoying it's not even as easy to get anymore yeah it's way more expensive which is dumb and it's actually really difficult and hard to get which is dumb yep and we're just we're lining the pockets of jerks on eBay there are couriers um who else I mean there's depending on where you buy from and who you sell to there's potential double taxation involved in something like this because you know these people aren't set up like resellers they're not gonna write off that PlayStation that they bought at Best Buy as a you know taxable like business expense and then like collect tax from the buyer and submit all that no one's gonna do that so they're just kind of kind of go okay yeah I had to pay 10% tax on it so now it's four hundred and forty plus whatever markup I'd like we're just we're just giving it away so tell me something would you be okay with surge pricing at launch would you rather - would you rather the manufacturer have it to that degree oh wow that's a disgusting old to go down no the reason why I say that is almost everything that I buy doesn't sell out and don't have to buy it online scalped okay so if we just start doing surge pricing at launch they're just gonna be like oh well ten people bought it time to engage third price mode okay so hold on a second then I mean is there a difference between surge pricing and just the early adopter tax early adopters yes like what if the what if the surge pricing that I'm talking about was not necessarily like oh you know the factory is a little behind let's let's hike up the price what if it was only at the beginning what if they were like okay for the first 10 days the Xbox two or whatever they call whatever the next one's gonna be the Xbox two costs $600 after that it will be $400 so if they actually had a tiered launch so if you it knowing full well that you can buy one for $200 less in like let's say some finite and a reasonable amount of time would you be okay with them just with just bending over the people who must have it on launch day I wouldn't care it would just wait but but are you okay with the concept I think it's dirty marketing is it marketing to like jack up the price temporary look is like you make a premier crowd like maybe you make it so that because people aren't just gonna just have that so like halo as a launch title it's gonna have like this 10-day event right at the beginning which is only during the high price time and like you can get some special skins do you play during the 10-day event I think we just single-handedly solved the console scalping problem if anyone from Xbox or Playstation watches this stream how much you want to bet there's gonna be okay okay this doesn't solve the problem it literally makes it worse no no no it solves the problem for them not for anyone else so you think oh well hold on hold on okay so let me let me recap this cuz I think I think I jumped I think I I lost your train of thought here I think I'm back on it so what you're saying is if normally a console is $400 at launch and we go okay there's a two-week event where it's $600 you think instead of themI baying for $800 they're gonna eBay for $1,200 so you think we've just we've single-handedly worse twitch chats like dammit let it stop give me that's okay I don't think anyone from Microsoft's Xbox division or did PlayStation break off from Sony no do I have to call it please official I don't know I'll just say Xbox and PlayStation I don't think anyone is actually watching this but like what if oh man oh how do okay so how do we how do we make it more expensive without making it enticing because that wait no because no because that waits your own people don't want it that bad but no no company is gonna be like alright let's make let's make our product less enticing let's hike the price make it worse let's try no one buys Microsoft was trying very hard to do that with the Kinect okay less enticing in customers more so maybe we're not giving them ideas after all all of this already ok here it's someone in twitch chat this is pretty good idea no games it is like everyone's favorite game when you look on some system settings or work could be all only early access games so the people that we're screwing over are the people who deserve it the most the people who pre-order everything oh my god that should be the new launch titles for consoles yeah oh so they don't call it the launch they call it early access so you actually pay more to get an early access console yeah that is literally like they could even call it like like like like like Xbox like 1.9 slightly flawed yeah but then you know those will be worth more so that's like having a coin that's got a head on both sides like everyone's gonna want the flawed one even like a dead flawed one will probably be worth as you could put the innards of a working one in it so let's take in same console pricing you should oh hold on hold on yeah you know what I guess that leaves us pretty well in sparse okay they do this overlay thing where you can see like the buttons in the top corner and the bar and the bottom bar and the middle thing saying you should or whatever yeah I have a serious feeling that's gonna become a meme she's just gonna be like some like random image in the background and then that you should thing over top of it oh I think that's already happening for sure so speaking of you should squarespace.com looking to build a website then good you squarespace.com you've got all all kinds of great templates all you got to do is pick out the one that is the best for your beautiful website if you wanted to

with it to validate okay these guys are like real and they're not just a total scam or anything I am starting on some networking stuff because I am a networking noob and Johnny the network guy let me down pretty hardcore this week released it because I specifically asked him this I was like okay I'm doing a point-to-point guide so you can have ten gigabit NICs link directly between the computers and they both have LAN connections with a separate NIC like tell me the guidelines because I knew I knew there were guidelines I was like telling me the guidelines for what IP addresses I can use and use public and he used public ones he was like yeah it's fine and you know what realistically it's probably fine unless I happened to want to access that particular HP it turns out it was HP reserved ip's unless I wanted to access that particular HP site it wasn't like hewlett-packard calm it was like who knows yeah it would have been fine I would have literally never run into that but I believe in best practices and I asked him not once but three times are you sure he's like yeah it's fine I'm like are you sure he's like yeah it's fine so half the comments on that video are Linus you need to get a new network guy for Johnny that's okay Johnny's done he's mostly pretty good anyway the point is I started on the basics I have to say for me it was a little frustrating how basic the like the very basic like beginner course was but I was like okay no I'm gonna I'm gonna power through this is some weird term or whatever yep yep their work I have I have a better understanding of a ring topology network than they did before as irrelevant as that is in the modern age yeah but it's okay it's okay they you know they're they're laying the groundwork so I'm working on that and anyway so

high-definition bendable smartphone that you won't have your hands on anytime in the next five years very cool technology it actually includes not just a bendable display and obviously internal components of some sort not just a bendable display but also haptic feedback so what the example they're showing right there is bending the display to flip the page in some kind of a graphic novel or comic and it actually gives you haptic feedback that's like the clip you're you're flipping the page isn't that cool when you're playing Angry Birds for example what it can do is it can have like a very tactile sort of experience with the stretching back of the rubber band and then the home releasing it yeah pretty cool I've actually got an Angry Birds our Kade game at the castle fun park out in abbotsford now it was new the last time I went there so I think it's I think it's probably pretty new it's it's actually pretty clever so it's just Angry Birds on a giant touchscreen display at the end of like a long tube it's probably about the size of like the small like basketball thank you and then it's got a lawn chair which I wish was a was like a slingshot but it's not it's just a pinball pulley thing well it's okay because you at least have a thing you can hold and kind of and it's just got a little inflatable ball inside that you fling and it's a touchscreen so it knows where it hit something text the hip and it knocks down the crap that's cool okay I guess that's worth $1 20 a play are you for real castle phone park yeah the good news is that my kids are young so they don't actually realize half the time that the games not on so like we go there with four people we kill like an hour and a half two hours we spend like 20 bucks and like the pool tables there are really crappy so no one's ever really on them so we go and like when we get bored of the other stuff we we load up we it's like a buck 20 to get all the balls we put them in the middle of the table and then the kids just like using the sticks or my daughter actually just gets up on the pool table and just puts them in puts them in the pockets and then my wife and I just walk around and like grab them before they go down yeah back on as long as no one's waiting no one's ever really yelled at us you just got like a a one-year-old like crawling around on top of the food they don't really care again as long as no one's waiting they're pretty chill and we're there we're spending money I mean there's like two employees working for minimum wage and no one else there ever so yeah I I finally got my son to go in the ones last time you went there pretty okay so did you see that like I'll break the lasers or dodged the lasers room so every time we've gone they're just like three or four times now I've been like do you want to go in there he's kind of just kind of a shy kid anyways so the last time I was like you guys just because I I thought he would like it right okay we should give context it brings you into a room that's all like matte black on the inside and there's random lasers shooting in a bunch of different directions and you have to work your way through the room without tripping the lasers there's two different games you can play I'm going to describe this one first without breaking the lasers and then hold your hand on a panel and then someone else has to do the same thing and they have to hold their hand on the panel they have to work your way all the way back or they just have lasers going all over the place and you have to run through and crossed them all as fast as you can and it's timed and it's time um so anyway I asked him if you wanted to do that one because I figured for a three-year-old they just break all the lasers is probably gonna be the easiest thing if you goes no no I want to do the other one I go oh okay so what I didn't realize is that a two-player mode costs exactly twice as much and B once we went inside if you play two player mode dodging around the lasers and holding your hands on the like they look like hand print scanner things like it's kind of noisy yeah you have to split up yeah so we're in this dark room that he never really wanted to go into in the first place finally gave in to me about and I'm like go over there don't touch the beams okay hold your hands on there and he's just like so I'd the game it only lasts like a minute the game turns off he's like dad I want to go outside now I'm like yep we're never going in here again this is his Space Mountain my daddy on Space Mountain when I was like six never forgave him still remember to this day I didn't ride a roller coaster for a decade I'm dead serious like I didn't enjoy rollercoasters until I was in like my early 20s whoa yeah like like that was that was one of my scarred for life experiences as a kid was riding Space Mountain when I was a really little kid so if you guys are thinking you know you want it you want to pull one over on your kids and and give them an experience to remember when they're really young then Space Mountain I want to go back and you said you won oh you said I want to go back and do the ninja one but with tighter clothes I was wearing a baggy shirt so I try to like arm over something in the shirt which is crosses we should do the ninja one because quite frankly I had a terrible teammate last time you down I'd be down I'm kind of big that's okay to Troy dodge lasers but I'll wear tight or closer I'm super down I'm down for anything that involves you wearing tighter clothes do we have to invite the ladies on this double date probably should all right this was posted by the point-blank on the forum original article here's from Anne police the cat s60 is the first phone with an ethyl ir thermal camera built-in now this isn't the first cat phone although the first one I kind of looked and went ok so it's a recognized phone with very medaling specs it's very expensive I'm not that interested in this moving on this one has got my attention this is very cool same thing somewhat middling specs I think they quote octo-core snapdragon which oh no no actually they say it's a it is a Snapdragon 617 so again not top-of-the-line but certainly capable 4.7 inch HD capacitive multi-touch so that's only 720p but it does have auto wet finger and glove support it is drop proof to 1.8 meters which is pretty darn impressive that's about 5 feet for the Yanks out there has a strengthened diecast frame optimized battery performance so 3,800 milliamp hour battery combine that with the 720p screen and these dragon 617 that thing is going to haul when it comes to battery life and it's got 32 gigs of store 32 gigs of storage three gigs of RAM runs Android marshmallow coming later on super bright display typical 514 it's not too shabby Gorilla Glass 4 but it is all about that thermal camera so check out this picture this is back on Android police here this is the first dual camera implementation that I've seen that makes any sense yeah the One m8 was just stupid like oh we have a depth camera so that you can do this stupid gimmick that looks terrible and is bad this is cool so it combines the thermal camera with the regular camera to give you real image clarity with the thermal information overlaid how freakin handy would that be for a contractor you want to know which pipes got the hot water in it but brow that's actually really want to know if some wires in the wall are heating up before very very cool and I can see this being useful for all kinds of stuff like even for me like is something in that system overheating Wow we're gonna get tired of that bow bow thing eventually you should know I'm never gonna get tired of you should know so like home for the new catchphrase we find some way to make everything yep it's like heaven forbid they came up with something with like swear words in it like Squarespace yeah I'll be the best company motto ever everyone would know about it would be in the news everywhere yes and though it seems like people get over it like that audio like no one really no one really flinches anymore that's true but like they did put the like fcuk that's not edgy anymore yeah it's true clothing brand yeah yeah people just get and people will become immune to anything that's true yeah wouldn't become pretty numb to like that's the word I was looking for numb this was supposed to buy yummy chicken blue on the forum the original article here is from Forbes Apple finally addresses the error 53 issue that causes people who replace their home button and then upgrade their OS to not be able to use their phone it just would brick so apples former stance on this was will you had your handset repaired by an unauthorized technician so I guess we'll just break your phone because you're a jerk and we hate you yeah so apparently error 53 was supposed to be a factory test that was not intended to affect customers and all it would just say was the iPhone could not be updated an unknown error occurred fortunately they finally issued a patch so it's billed number 13 D 20 in the most current mobile operating system iOS nine point two point one that will allow people dealing with the air 53 issue to plug into iTunes and update so yay so it'll restore bricked iPhones some repair dude who has like 50 air 53 bricked iPhones sitting on a shelf somewhere it's just like so stoked however the patched version of nine point two point one will not permit touch ID to start working again unless it has been verified by an official Apple technician so you'll have to take it to an Apple repair center to verify that it is properly secured the official stance here is that there are shady technicians out there that could allow malicious access to your data otherwise I mean that is maybe not a bad point there are some pretty skilled folks out there who could solder some pretty cool grabbing things while they're in flight stuff and put that into a phone I suppose so as long as they are willing to allow me to repair it myself and at least just like give it the OL hey you did it okay then I'm alright with that it is unclear how much Apple is going to be charging however for this verification I don't know that doesn't mean no one knows but I certainly don't know speaking of things that I don't know I don't know how the crap this works allo Fox posted this on the forum original article here's from the verge five dimensional glass discs can store data for up to 13.8 billion years so we have officially preserved the King James Version of the Holy Bible for people 13.8 billion years from now and that is if it will work apparently even up to nearly 200 degrees Celsius so to put this in the appropriate context a standard sized disk so that same blu-ray that is now capable of holding 128 gigs of data would be able to hold 360 terabytes of data safely within glass it's using and I am NOT a physicist here but it's using something to do with nano gratings that change how light is reflected and encodes the data in five dimensions and that's why they can store data so densely compared to traditional optical discs scientists believe this could be commercialized in the - distant future another big deal this week this was supposed to buy spaghetti carbonara on the forum is that Twitter channel banning is apparently real and happening every day says an inside source now I don't know how much of this is tinfoil hat wearing I didn't have time to look into this report myself so we just have to trust Colton to have done it correctly sandwich that whole five D thing literally in the article it says that the location in space is on the x y&z axis so it's not five beans unless it's like a location and ur trajectory and something else but it's not moving so I hate when people do that anyways moving on some Twitter shadow banning thing uh yeah so there were rumors that Twitter had begun shadow banning politically inconvenient users that has been confirmed allegedly by a source inside the company according to the source which I don't know if we can believe because whenever its source we're calling this rumor Twitter maintains a whitelist and a blacklist the whitelist is people who are of Caucasian descent and the black look no I'm just kidding it's the the more the mark you didn't even catch that did you know I said the white list was Caucasians it's just a joke the white list is apparently users who are are okay to broadcast their tweets all over the place on the black list is apparently users that are being somewhat or fully shadow banned so instead of just banning the user directly their content is hidden from the public view so this is a pretty common practice on things like online communities in fact we're gonna be working on a shadow banning feature on the Linus tech tips form the way that we're planning to use it is very very different from this however so what they're effectively doing is hiding these blacklisted users content from the public view so Twitter users have allegedly the rumor been reporting tweets from popular conservatives members of alternative rights cultural libertarians and anti PC dissidents that have been disappearing from their timelines yeah so kind of a big deal I mean I saw someone's comment in the thread that was like oh whatever no big deal it's just Twitter I mean it's like this private company they can do whatever they want but when you're as big as Twitter when you have as much influence on the world and the way people perceive it you have kind of a responsibility yeah um I mean back to how we plan to use shadow banning features the way that we had discussed it was giving people time outs from each other if there are users that cannot get along and are starting flame wars with each other all the time we might start implementing shadow bans between those users so they just straight-up can't talk to each other and we would tell people that we're doing it we're like look we're giving you a timeout you're done you're not talking to each other anymore unless you create duplicate accounts which by the way is against the Terms of Service then we'll get both of your account permanently permanently nuclearized and we'll burn them both yep so so basically like there are valid reasons if you have a platform that you have to moderate like something that people don't necessarily realize is that community sites are at least partially responsible for the content that's on them we can't post Google ads on - tek-tips comm anymore because of some questionable material that was posted by members bunch of people posted anime porn thank you for that so ultimately we have to moderate this site and if we're having problems then shadow banning can be in a very effective way to get rid of it but I think you have to maintain a certain level of transparency and you have to maintain your integrity as well you can't just start you know shadow banning people you don't agree with I mean if that were the case I actually posted this right in the thread I was like my response to you misanthrope is proof that we don't believe him censoring people that we regularly disagree with because I do believe that line is tek-tips calm aside from you know being excellent to each other and abiding by the Terms of Service I believe it should be an a place for open discussion and we allow any criticism I mean the only criticism of the only personal attacks we don't allow are from members to members you can go after an admin in any way you want I would way rather you publicly attacked me yeah and you publicly attacked some other user on the site yeah so our users and our moderators because they are they are volunteers you guys okay they're nice people our users and our moderators are off-limits but if there's something you don't like you can let me or Luke have what for about it if that's what what's your vote I also want to cover this real quick if there's a moderator that does something that you don't like we're not a fan of you trying to spit roast them in front of everyone on the site because again they're volunteers and they're there's just wanna help everyone and it's really kind of shitty when you're trying to help everyone and you get publicly roasted yeah so the end about it and we can talk about what happened and you shouldn't you should you should message me right and there's uh there's been a lot of stuff there's some times where I'll be like yeah I know you're wrong sorry fine and then there's also times where it's permanently buy I've seen that happen you're wrong and honestly your punishment wasn't severe enough happened it has also happened where I went okay maybe they were having a bad day let's make this a little bit easier so yeah anyways so that's pretty much it for the wine show today thanks for watching thanks to death guy 91 for the pizza today and we will see you again next week same bat-time same bat-channel why oh my goodness the YouTube announced the video announcing this true but this is one of the weeks I actually remembered to pull it down we I don't know why I just I hate everything sorry guys no after-party today because I'm super tired actually I want to fix the server and then go home
