hello everybody welcome to my house we are streaming yeah that's not gonna make any sense to them if they don't follow me on Twitter but if they don't follow me on Twitter they don't deserve to get the references then they don't make any sense no that's someone else yeah conference what people that I got it oh no that was Nick he doesn't count I also called make a bunch of people oh wow that's so what you're saying he doesn't count and you're going after his weight at the same time I'm sorry you're an awful awful person I mean you weigh more than him although you have about like five inches on himself Nick just you know capitals I am multiple people I am me and all the people I aid Luke has his voice back that was so confusing for a lot of people cuz we released a video that I filmed on the second day first right and then other ones later so everyone was like what is even happening always confusing and it's like that happens when I get when I let my hair get like really long really short and then it's kind of just changing for a bit I mean we've we've had ones where my hair gets cut in the middle of a video yeah like a good guide yeah so we've got a bunch of great topics for you guys today um no not really it's gonna be kind of odd we're probably gonna lean on the events that we were at yeah it's gonna be a little topic light but we'll have fun cuz we haven't seen each other in over a week I think because we've just been like busy flying around to like amazing places like San Francisco and Boston hey man hey man I got to go to San Fran Boston's pretty cool I wrote a bicycle in San Fran I got lost on a bike rode a bicycle in Boston you could have except one of the gaas probably doesn't have like a bike share program no I think they do wait like what do you mean it's like it's like car sharing but like yeah bike racks it's just all American cities are just inherently it's super I saw it too and I was like that's pretty smart it's great one of the guys that I was with I was just in it why didn't you stop right with the Winchester um one of the guys that I was hanging out with while I was there yeah doughnut bacon I think bacon donut they can bacon doughnut um rent walked into literally almost walked into Stephen Hawking no I was on his phone oh and then I've been mortified even Hawking's like huge beast bodyguard was like no and stiff-armed him and then he was like uh uh what and looks up and then there's Stephen Hawking cuz they're in Boston and like MIT and Harvard and stuff so it makes sense he was giving a lecture or something like literally almost soft its jaw and then proceeds to after being stopped takes a picture does he even ask like even asked like I'm embarrassed for how embarrassed you must have been for him because that that is awful that is awful like you don't you don't bump into people you don't bump into famous people this is why don't bump into people in wheelchairs you don't bump into respected people you don't you know there's so many layers of you don't do that to this and this and this is why people are trying to make looking at your phone while walking illegal yeah yeah because people are gonna walk into Stephen Hawking luckily Stephen Hawking has an attentive and large scary bodyguard right apparently quite nice but just was like yo you know actually no don't do that um so Apple just announced his worst quarter in over a decade boohoo fifty million iPhones sold uh Intel is on board the whole replacing the headphone jack with USB thing really Intel really you usually do two topics Oh for some reason I forgot that you're needed one I thought that was your first one anyways Blizzard has finally responded to fans about the closure of the nest rottenness Tahlia servers and people are both super stoked and like but we'll get into why later on space explains to send its Dragon spacecraft to Mars using the Falcon heavy rocket and that is dick yeah you should call it like the are they planning to like enter the atmosphere with it like like punch punch through the atmosphere with Wow why did I think he's alone it's like dancing Linda alright what did you do ah screw topics what do you do what did I do so I iced I got up at 4 a.m. oh wow today so like when I go to bed I'm already very tired talking about tired tired more that's a good job yeah so I was so I was up at 4 in the morning I got on a plane I worked on the plane because I didn't want to waste all the preparation I had done to do work on the plane and then I I did a thing that yes I had someone in my family died so I went there and I did that can I help you oh okay okay Nick was in space and anyway so then I this place and when show yeah but before that the question you were actually asking was I spent the week at the Samsung developer conference so it all kind of kicked off with a big keynote they announced retail availability coming in a couple days which it has now been so now as a twelve hours ago of the gear 360 their new 360 degree VR optimised camera they announced some some stuff that actually didn't make it into my videos from the show but is really cool if you want to see not to give someone a shout out who like super doesn't ever need shoutouts but if you want to see some actually pretty good representative gear 360 footage check out Casey nice tats oscar coverage he has stuff where he's like he walks down the red carpet with it and then he has like watching leo win an oscar from the stands with it and you can spin the camera around and everything and kind of see how footage from that would look and sound which is actually something that i was wondering so he has the gear 360 he was the first person to get one and he got one like right so yeah gear 360 it's finally available for purchase I was hands-on with it it's pretty cool it's not entirely seamless so we didn't manage to crash the demo because we're me why is that surprising so of course I managed to break the demo so basically the way it works as it records to the camera itself the live Wi-Fi direct feed is actually really really good like it's pretty low latency there's there's it's one of those things for like yeah it's not perfect but there's pretty much no excuse for not having gotten the shot so you use your phone as a live feed and you can like look around and then you actually press record on either device it records to the camera and then on your phone with an app you've actually got a like a browser that you can go through and you can kind of go oh you know I want this I want this I want this it converts it transfers over and from there you can either view it just kind of normally or you can view it with the phone using the motion sensors or you can view it with the Samsung gear VR yeah so there's a lot of different ways to consume it it's very very cool actually you know because if they like probably not this version but if they released like a ruggedized more industrial kind of version will be pretty cool but just like from knowing my brother who's a firefighter it'd be pretty sweet if they can have them on like at the top of their helmets right there chief outside could switch between person right and see what they're seeing that would actually one of them can radio back and be like chief you've got an obstruction or something and then he can like see it so it'd be almost like like video game style very much right so he's now like the RTS like master managing his little like firefighter minions exactly I'll be awesome you have like axe firefighter and hose firefighter you have to like manage positioning them I think you're a little far but what a few years ago I was trying to develop a firefighting video game sure something along with I'm not even kidding it was anyways and then I was like wow I'm bad at programming I should not so other than the gear 360 I mean the the developer conference was really geared more towards developers so they're there yeah there was a lot of stuff like around their new Arctic Hardware as well as the Arctic ARR type a yeah Arctic so it's cut it goes from the Arctic one is this more Arduino type thing and the Arctic 10 is like capable of machine learning it's got like this gigantic developer board it's like this big got a bunch of like wireless modules like all kinds of like much much more functionality and people were building things that could interact with their cloud service that sits behind Arctic from other clouds and then they were putting artic hardware in devices and interact with these other clouds so they had like everything from a water purifier to smart home stuff to a you know that geebo stupid thing that I backed on IndieGoGo they had something actually that looks functionally very similar to what the Gebo team is promising to deliver at some point just as kind of a tech demo yeah like hey geebo who's George Clooney yeah do you both like a dude backs in things aren't sorry not Gebo I forgot forget what they call it though that I ended up probably the highlight of the trip though for me was was there I got to meet real celebrities like not like fake Oh fake Oh YouTube celebrities like you know people who you know perform musical concerts so I interviewed Flo Rida who's coming out with a mobile game welcome to my game yeah it should oh my god I really hope that's how it was I really sincerely doubt that that is how it will load because that actually wouldn't really make it welcome to my game why not go racing I've done now there's no more that's probably for the best song ends so anyway hmm yeah yeah anyway I'm sorry so what is the game about what do you do well okay so I did ask him what's unique about it and he basically said well fast cars I'm like okay like like the flyest cars okay so we've got that down to fluid curse no flyest okay yeah fly is like a fly oh and then the other thing is like he's in it so like his music is involved in the soundtrack okay other than that details are very scarce so I do know that he I do know that he spent some time actually on a track and then spent some time like I'm sure he needed to do that with the control zone yeah I don't think he was even I don't think he was pretending you needed to do that I don't think that I don't think that's the thing that happened I think that basically he wanted to and did it because he's Flo Rida no yeah so that's fair he spent some time with the controls like making sure that they got everything right he actually says he spent a lot of time like making sure they had the the feel of the game exactly the way he wanted it so yeah that's uh it sounds pretty cool i I'm I'm genuinely gonna try it sure I it's called speed gods the title is all caps bold and italicized and that like III double check to make sure that it wasn't just that he's like defines the game yeah I check to make sure that it wasn't like just just a logo and it's not like when they write it just in text about you know a press release or whatever it is italicized bolded and all caps that really good so then Tommy fair guitarist for kis all things he's releasing a children's storytelling app that he wrote all the music for but not kiss music hopefully yeah so I was talking to him a buddy who's like yeah this was like a really different creative challenge for me we're planning to add it's kind of like semi animated okay and then it's got he calls them kiddies so he wrote little diddies story he's like ya know listen I'd be kind of cool actually that one I will check out as well that one's come out doesn't sound like a mirror of every single other game in its genre yeah but I mean what that said you can't you can't say like oh this racing game won't be good because there are other racing no it could be it could be good I just like I know I have a few different friends that are in like mobile game development and like out of the few different they all work at different Studios whoa okay two of them work at the same one but whatever out of those ones almost all of them have worked on a racing game for mobile right yes when we need them suck one of them was good that's the problem is like I tend to dismiss the entire genre like I got the same initial reaction as you now it'll probably be Tara and from a purely numbers perspective it will probably be terrible yeah but maybe it won't if not that's cool I like the idea and again one of them was ok it was just far too pay2win they had they had some other really cool demos they had a roller coaster with like like a 40 roller coaster with like moving seats and stuff with gear VR which man it's like it's one of those things where I'm like I know I'm at the Samsung developer conference so I know we really have to wear gear VR s for this boy do I ever wish I was wearing an oculus or a vibe yeah because we're not when you when we hear about like that rollercoaster that just installed gear VR s I'm just like damn it guys like use something else there's so much like there's there's so much of a greater Hardware requirement by the other ones like there's so much more investment whereas like gear VR is you just throw a bunch of phones in a bunch of like probably Samsung gave them a pretty good deal to implement that because of all the press around around something like that yeah so it just kind of it just kind of is what it is in the cases of something like that anyway the demo was cool because I've never actually done like a rollercoaster demo with the moving chair it's amazing how close you can get to like a zero-g feel just with a moving chair science man scientists are cool and then the last demo but the right but the latency the latency and the resolution are just the resolution yeah but the vibe in oculus like the resolution you know you can see it sometimes like it's it's it's an improvement will be good but they're pretty good and let you jump down to a gear the graphics are pretty rough too like playing have you played a space pirate trainer no oh you have to play it yeah it's on my account I saw right yeah I saw it on there I just decided that I was gonna spend most of my time in raw data because I knew that you hadn't right so I thought we could combine insurances yeah yeah space pirate trainer is a total freaking blast but like the graphics are not that great and there's like a good and a better slider right now and the better slider which doesn't look very good is apparently like 980 and up optimized last cool demo that I did was and these guys these guys there I asked them what their company did and they're like yeah so our company sets up like experiential demos for our brands and I was tempted to ask them I didn't end up doing it I kind of wish that I had I was tempted to ask them so did Samsung pay you to be here or did you volunteer to be here slash pay for a booth here in order to meet developers I'm actually not sure who's winning in this is their demo was really cool so they had this escape room style thing and then they were using each of the eight cameras above this very small room like like less than the total range of an HTC vive with the two lighthouses so well each of those eight cameras is worth thirty five hundred smackeroonies oh yeah and then they had these they had like these objects like like pieces of a puzzle very very like Tomb Raider very like Uncharted style puzzles move statues around and do this stuff the graphics running off of the gear VR on an s7 by far the most impressive demo I saw there because there was another VR game like a tech demo game that I saw were you like blast bad guys or something a lot of the problems like you're kind of jaded the crisis rock climbing game yet no I haven't like there's there's there are VR demos that have very good graphics the problem is the vast majority of people making VR think I'm even gonna keep saying demos because they're basically all just demos even the games like are all tech dudes trying to get like feasibility across like look this is what we were able to make not necessarily like oh it's so beautiful right that would be nice so the graphics were really impressive latency was as good as you can possibly expect because it was running on a gear VR but it was believable enough with like magnets on some of the objects to kind of get them to click into place like it would in a game and they had just those little I are reflective dots on the object so that the cameras would know what was what that you could like solve like like a color matching and like move the object to here align the light beam take the take the golden idol and then the door opens and you run for it and apparently it was believable enough they actually have had people slammed into the wall forgetting that the door opening in VR is not is this a potential liability issue oh yeah for VR companies yeah but that's part of the reason why like okay I'm on my video that I made comparing like the revived in the oculus rift before they released but with final specs for release yeah like current state of VR video thing I talked about how amazing the chaperone system is and a whole bunch of people were like oh it's like there can be that great because like games aren't gonna put it into their game because why would they do that stuff like they don't put it into the game like you walk up to the wall and there's a blue thing like it's just it's a warning system they're not gonna just like block it anyways and that's super helpful because lo and behold in the setup that I have over there almost walked into a palette yep it was like oh well I'm super glad I didn't walk into the palette and rift is going to be getting a room scale issue experience once the touch controllers come out right because it's gonna have a second camera it won't be as wooden to anywhere near as wide as the five is right now but you'll be able to stand up and move around a little bit so that the room scaled to a certain degree and that's gonna be a little scary there's no pass-through camera because with the vibe you can double tap the thing yes co-pastor which is extremely disorienting yeah this is true but somewhat function helpful and like if your phone's going off or something you can double tap it and check your phone without taking the camera or the headset off and sitting on the top of your head and getting grease on the lenses oh right so it's actually really nice right you want to not take the headset off once it's on until you're done right to be completely honest you don't want to like rest it on top of your head like a lot of you did I send it to you with grease on the lenses I don't think so oh okay cuz I tried to be pretty careful no but like I was doing demos for everybody so between the most cleaner myself because people would be like that was really cool and I'd be like time to clean everything again but safety yeah I know yeah so the rift doesn't have that which kind of sucks a lot I'm gonna start divulging into rift versus vive real quick okay yeah well we do have more topics yes cable has been purchased by Charter Communications 78 billion dollars billion I mean is that yeah yeah I like this is does this even mean anything to anyone it's official uncle sam says charter can buy Time Warner Cable they just approved the seventy eight billion dollar deal today whose charter I have to confess as someone who is not American and doesn't pay that much attention to huge American mega corporations I am actually not sure what all of the companies that that the mega corporation that is charter probably owns so in a nutshell the US Department of Justice Justice approved an FCC Chairman Tom wheeler spoke in favor of the deal on Monday it does still need to be approved by the FCC itself Tom wheeler supports it but the FCC has not given official approval there are caveats to the deal Charter is not allowed to impede access to streaming content is not allowed to impose data caps or charge usage based prices and is not allowed to charge interconnection fees a wheeler says that all three seven-year conditions will help consumers by benefitting online video provider competition it is unclear though what he means by seven year conditions weather that means that they can impose data caps and impede access after seven years is up or what yeah this apparently also covers charters purchase of Bright House Networks the cable provider that has most of its market share in Florida for ten point four billion dollars spectrum our charter spectrum just seems to be like an ISP they have internet they have phone they have cable TV gives packages I've never heard of these guys how are they so big that they're buying Time Warner who have definitely heard of multiple times if they do they not are they not as big of jerks as the other companies that would be a good thing yeah looks like the usual seems super normal yeah TV internet voice I don't know cool yeah I suppose involved comcast speaking of American American companies buying expensive things yeah bought out DreamWorks for 3.8 billion so there NBC Universal division is actually acquiring the dreamworks animation studio for about 3.8 billion i mean it's all just you know rounding rounding at that point it's funny how ten million dollars could literally just be like an inconsequential rounding error yeah okay listen to this Charter Communications is an American cable telecommunications company which offers their services to consumers and businesses under the branding of charter spectrum which is exactly what we just found yeah providing services to 5.9 million customers in 29 states it is the 4th largest cable operator in the United States by subscribers behind Comcast Time Warner Time Warner Cable and Cox Communications why were they able to buy Time Warner I don't know why didn't Time Warner buy them great question and if Colton's had put more detail in the dock that I didn't look at because I was at a conference and at a funeral then we would know but it's a good question yeah I like the way you think Thanks so I don't know this seems so weird anyways sorry I am actually surprised that something like DreamWorks costs as little as four billion dollars yeah because like what anyway I don't like like I hear you I mean we're talking How to Train Your Dragon its franchise Trek franchise I'm assuming that they are owning the IP behind these particular works I mean How to Train Your Dragon has a Netflix series that is going right now as a continuation of the movies what does DreamWorks done recently um Wow I'm glad you asked DreamWorks asked you so many in new English why do they not have the sex appeal of picsArt okay so for one thing they haven't been quite as consistent in terms of the what they've delivered like certain stuff has been great Shrek great How to Train Your Dragon great the Croods I really well-received I thought it was awful never mind Kung Fu Panda though is DreamWorks but this is interesting i mean i guess i'm sort of overestimating how much these are worth potentially i mean its feature films have grossed thirteen point eight five billion worldwide this is just according to the wikipedia articles so take it with the grain of wikipedia salt and it's unclear whether or not that includes licensed products for example but yeah i don't i don't know i guess i just i would have thought that that it would be that would be worth more than that Madagascar is also DreamWorks it's just the reason why I said that was because what like how deterring the dragon is the last thing that I can think of from them that was super awesome and the first one of that is a little yeah the most recent one is did you watch the Penguins of Madagascar movie no again that's actually it's not that new either but it's hard to mean it's hard for us to know sort of what they have in the pipeline right now like you know if they have like oh yeah we've got like a bunch of like crazy awesome product projects going like look at all this awesome stuff that we've got I just feel like it's been a while and I love little animated movies so like I see a lot of these things like I'm a grown dude and frozen was great but like it's been a while since I've gone to something and it's been like DreamWorks yeah you know what I mean and on that note why don't we get into our sponsors for today yep first up is master AAB so the product we're highlighting today is the master op x high five man re at zero zero im's this is a unity boot of the re0 that brought quite a bit of fame to the HiFi man name in the earphone space they boast a comfortable fit and standard setting sound clarity the re zero zeros feature a revised cable for better durability and improved microphonic so that is the like annoying noise when something bumps the cable I feature a nine millimeter dynamic driver 64 ohm impedance and a 53 inch cable and the main change to on the reboot aside from all that other stuff I just said is the price it's only 35 bucks shipped to your door if you're in the u.s. international orders will be charged $5 at checkout for Freight over 1400 units have been sold already at the drop page which you can find at draw ups slash Len - re - zero zero which will obviously have linked in the video description so that you guys can actually find it if you're not familiar with mass drop they offer all kinds of deals like this whether it's on knives or keyboards or audio products say for example I can't beam gear even and the idea is they find manufacturers who are willing to commit to a lower price if mass drop can find a lot of people to buy so the more people buy the lower the price goes and everyone basically wins speaking of everyone basically winning if you feel like it's a win if you pay less for your shaving

long day we got there early we stayed for the entire event stay for a little bit after the event because exhibitor badges yes and then went for dinner afterwards once we get to the restaurant I'm like

um hackers stole eighty million dollars from a central bank because it had $10 switches and no firewall god so the original article here is from UK Business Insider and okay okay the opie of this his name is paranoid wallet that's amazing I love that that's the best lineup of like Opie name and article that I think every awesome so Bangladesh his central bank was vulnerable to hackers because it did not have a firewall it used second-hand $10 switches to network computers connected to the Swift Global payment network Wow these shortcomings made it easier for hackers to break into the system earlier this year so the head of the forensic training institute said it could be difficult to hack if there was a firewall the last of the lack of sophisticated switches and get this this makes it even worse than that sophisticated switches means that it is now after the fact very difficult for investigators to figure out what the hackers did probably more or less impossible and where they might have been based because if you don't have detailed data logging and I mean based on that they broke in earlier this year it's not like they broke in yesterday they just transferred a bunch of money and like now they have broken the connection okay let's check the logs from yesterday not great so Swift is the Society for worldwide interbank financial telecommunication so that's yeah apparently part of the blame is falling on them as well I am I don't really know why but I'm assuming that part of the blame is falling on them because if you're going to allow something like the worldwide interbank financial telecommunication to go somewhere you should probably make sure that that place is secured at all I'm assuming that's why the blame especially well how do you I mean how do you oversee that but how many like like I feel like you could be completely honest like every single gas pump has a check-up every once in a while that's true yeah like they should at least have like someone go by every once in a while hey has a server room going yeah everything on fire what do you guys mind giving us like any material doing literally buy everything on eBay yesterday for $10 less and is it used yeah I don't know some amount of at least oversight at all I mean on the same I have more than two thousand employees at Swift speaking of oversight and Wornall the German nuclear plant infected with computer viruses says an operator apparently this is just like really real rod software really old malware Wow can we get some good news for this week things that shouldn't be connected to the Internet there's a seventy five miles away from Munich and it's been harboring malware it didn't pose a threat though apparently because the computer was not hooked up to the Internet Wow names I haven't heard of before apparently the viruses included W 32 dot remnant and Conficker I thought was conflict so it was in a computer that was retrofitted in 2008 with data visualization software associated with equipment for moving nuclear fuel rods the malware was also found on 18 removable data drives mainly USB sticks in the office and youie says it had increased cybersecurity measures as a result excellent okay we have good news google has patent a sort of good news okay well Google has patented maybe hopefully means that were closer to it happening but Google has patented smart lenses that you inject into your eyes so we covered like this and I think 2014 and I don't actually think the idea or the concept has really changed but now it has been patented meaning that hopefully someone's going to do something with it yeah and hopefully if they don't they are not buttheads about it yeah like the people that stock mineral oil computers to be sold from the device is meant to replace your eyes natural lens it is injected in a solution that congeals and attaches to your lens capsule and is mostly meant to correct poor vision it contains a number of tiny components storage sensors radio battery and an electronic lens and the eyeball device gets power wirelessly from an energy harvesting antenna the patent describes what would look like an external a device to interface with the eyeball computer and the tool communicate through a radio and the interface device contains the actual processor to do the necessary computing considering it it replaces your current lens what happens if it runs out of battery that's a great question and like in the future our EMPs just gonna make everyone blind so these lenses are now a part of verily a division under alphabet okay I you know what you are you are just the difficult question person yesterday yep I don't know I use dirt are you just going through the topics and kind of going yep I'm not gonna say anything when this comes up until the end and then I'm gonna just drop a bomb that's unanswerable them in which you just move off thank you for that Apple just announced its worst quarter in over a decade mostly due to syncing iPhone sales which is not surprising because you have to make something better in order to sell more of them wow this is better than the six I know but like by how much it has 3d touch okay which is touch but in 3d last time Apple sales fell year-over-year was the first quarter of 2003 that is fantastic 13 years ago currently more than two-thirds of apples revenue is made up of iPhone sales which is pretty intense the iPhone in q1 of 2015 sold sixty 1.2 million in q1 2016 was fifty 1.2 million also known as down by 16% iPad is down by 19 percent and Mac is down by 12% so everything is down by double digits excellent just yeah and like iPad especially so screw of one that was like tablets gonna take over computers no go away yeah I mean with that said Intel is sort of not super bullish on the PC either no part of the issue may just be that Hardware in both categories is getting to the point where it mostly does what most people want it I can't think of anything I have wanted to do on a tablet that I can't do on an iPad - mm-hmm especially because the iPad 2 still is getting software updates I mean sure it doesn't have the same responsiveness when I auto-rotate it's not fan and the battery life isn't as good as it used to be but like firing up the Netflix because that's what it turns out we actually don't have this I mean I actually had you've met him my old my old boss so I remember him explaining to me that oh I do all of my work on the iPad now like after after he left and he did the whole like startup thing like he wanted to do a startup and he was showing me like a presentation and he pulled out an iPad and I was like you don't like have a computer because we worked together at a computer store you know he's like oh no I do all my work on this now and I'm like okay okay we'll see how long that lasts yeah this long this is how long it lasted before everyone remembered that keyboards exist for a reason and that there really really good this at things like being a keyboard being a keyboard I pad screens are very good high especially find like I am getting to the point where people don't realize I'm on my phone on hangouts like yeah yeah they don't actually know I can trick people some great check yeah um especially with SwiftKey I like the the comment during scaphoid worse what do you type really fast or whatever I don't remember exactly how he said it but bob was just commenting on you typing oh yeah um but but but part of it is a well-trained Swift key you have to commit like you have to commit to it because it really does learn over time a well-trained swift key can compensate for us dull phishing errors so between that and having gotten better at it I can type pretty fast on a phone but there is nothing you can do to type quickly on a tablet yep and like yes there are split keyboards and but the tablet is so heavy it's very fatiguing and if you have it in your lap they have a device that's named after sitting in your lap has a keyboard on it anyways technically it's not named after sitting in your lap it's named after being on top of you laughs yes so that was originally posted by Phoenix arising on the forum I really don't know what Apple's response to this is gonna be this is this is really I mean I sort of covered this in my iPhone se review they should make VR stuff where I talked to fair bit they don't even believe in touchscreens on laptops yet are we really gonna convince them that you know a headset that I just like yeah they've been selling computers with unfriendly underpowered graphics for years yeah my only my only reason for saying that right now is that like while it's my reviews coming soon uh-huh but um well it's not like really ready yet that's what's gonna be hard to do in the future right for computers for a little while word processing was hard to do that was literally a thing and then now like we're getting further and further and further and now like things just aren't hard to do so why upgrade your computer on its even gaming's just not that hard to do these days yeah because no one's like really pushing the envelope well that and there's the ten-year console development cycle that it looks like we're breaking here hopefully it looks like we're breaking with the ps4 K or psvr or whatever then no I think the actual heads that might be called PSV are so PlayStation 4 and a half whatever but VR is very hard to do you need lots of them frames and you need them really quickly um so yeah if they do that then hardware gets pushed such an oversight that they that they that they didn't alright you know what I guess it's still very early days there's plenty there's plenty of time for them to come in and FaceTime oh yeah you know the VR industry I guess there's probably years before it's no longer early days like just so I like it I mean Apple watch I don't think they've released any actual sales figures on Apple watch in a while but my take on that is that's gotta have been an unmitigated disaster like anyone I explained it to where I'm like yeah the screens off unless you go like this so like not stupid like if they're not technology people why would why would they do that I've been enjoying this thing it's a Fitbit oh yeah the new one it has a analog style clock I don't even I can read it I just don't even bother I don't wear it to check the time and weird for my heart rate it's usually on this screen or I can see heart rate right that's what I wear for like I was doing I was talking with VR again but I was doing the raw data demos and it's a movable combat simulator right right people like Burkle get really into it right and he can't see me but I'm trying to manage the cable for him so it's literally like I'm basically sparring with Burkle because he's like go to reload and then shoving his gun back out it's like woah oh my god and like I'm jumping around him trying not to get hit that's awesome and I'm running it like a hundred and thirty BPM right it was cool to be able to like while I'm managing the cable like oh cool alright that's where that's going I don't need to check the time all the time so yeah Luke's working finally it's one of those categories that we just really haven't haven't touched actually is fitness trackers and Luke's working on kind of a fitness tracker accuracy showdown type of thing for when we go to Mexico which is not next week but the week after can you believe it so I'm trying to figure out and if you guys have opinions on this let me know because the internet seems to not have a ton of data on it but the best like chest strap heart rate sensor to use as a like good data comparison yeah drop that in the comments that would be super helpful that would be very very helpful looking at a Polaris one and like a couple other ones but then like you need special watches that aren't the fitness trackers that anyone's buying in order to use them and stuff right so what if you know things about that obviously powerful but yeah so I covered a lot of this in in my in my iPhone se review or I kind of went Apple is not defining categories right now at all they've they've tried they they tried to kind of reinvent the iPad as a device with a pencil I mean stylus I mean something would have jobs said they would never do they tried to do a watch and it turned out that their vision for the watch which isn't necessarily the wrong vision but isn't ready yet the hardware is just not there yet they've seemed to have just completely abandoned the Mac I actually screwed something up in my em aside vortex review where I said the Mac Pro could have up to 18 course I didn't even conceive of Apple not having updated that for now the current generation of the previous one the previous ones three generations of Intel processors it only goes up to twelve core because it is LGA 2011 not LGA 2011 three I just I didn't even I didn't even bother looking at because I haven't paid attention to the Mac Pro since it launched but they're just not even they're not even trying at all and then it's just kind of like oh I guess your revenues down there still trying on iPhone and we'll see what the SE does to this number because it really is a solid upgrade device for people who are running iPhone 5s and they will have to upgrade Linley all 64-bit app store drops mhm that'll be interesting anyways Nintendo NX 2 launched in March of 2017 and some people are a little salty because the Zelda game which looks amazing and has looked amazing since what 2014 or something when we first started seeing screenshots of it and was supposed to release in I believe 2015 I think is not launching this year and will be launching in 2017 probably with the NX and we'll work on the NX and will also work on the Wii U meaning if it's like probably what I'm expecting it's gonna be like you'll get an awesome experience on the NX and you'll get a hopefully good but not as awesome get the Twilight Twilight Princess on the Gamecube experience which actually is kind of a funny thing to bring up because while the graphics were much worse on the Gamecube for Twilight Princess many people argued that the GameCubes controller was a lot better than the go like this to make link slash controls on the week that's pretty bad you can plug a GameCube controller into me I actually played the entire game with the Wii mote though Wow but what I can tell you is that what happens eventually is you're like you're chilling on the couch hold on let me just go back a little bit so I can sort of simulate sort of leaning back on the couch here so you're kind of like chilling on the couch like this and then the Wemo it's kind of in your hand you just like mm-hmm well there's like okay I'm gonna get a little crude here for a moment but this is actually like years ago not for a long time I don't know if you can still find the video but someone made a video about how you can beat every game on Wii so this is like not even Wii U days is a very old YouTube video but you can beat every game on Wii by doing like a male masturbation motion you just take the we stick and just and you just win everything really and like beating like a whole bunch of games okay it wasn't like yeah probably not and like you please okay okay okay okay movement games I'm like he showed a montage of a lot of games and him beating it that way and it was pretty funny what was that even intentional what a montage of games and him beating it that way oh gosh that was not intentional it was great that was supposed to buy since Terron the forum next one was supposed to buy Alex P 10 V 2 original article here's from the verge apparently Intel is is gonna get behind this whole no headphone jack thing we're gonna do audio over USB type-c what the crap guys I don't get it unless they want to have two of them that's what bugs me a bit because like there's huge points in time where I would want to have headphones plugged in and a charger and I don't think battery bank companies are gonna start adding like headphone jacks to their battery banks no and I have a lot of other concerns here too like for example in theory this is great because USB type-c has amazing data rates power delivery up to a hundred watts or 95 watts or whatever it is yeah you could even get things like thermal temperatures out of eight stuff yep yeah you could you could do microphones on you could do microphones much more universally for example so you can actually have your headphone have software in it so that it would work properly with volume control its track skipping on Apple or on Android and and you could you could do way more than just that like you could have like sick lights on your in ears like there's a lot of cool stuff to be said not saying it isn't cool yeah about USB audio however the issue is that unless it's implemented well it's gonna be a real drag because and to be clear I don't know exactly what the plan is here if we can utilize the type C port to just pass through a signal from a DAC an amp in the device or an external device for people who want like a high-end amp and DAC to the headphones or the in ears passively then great but if we are relying then on the headphones to have their own amplifier and digital analog converter we are either dramatically increasing the cost of anything decent or yeah or we are ending up with possibly and on the DAC side I'm not necessarily sold on needing a super fancy DAC it's been it's been demonstrated pretty conclusively by Tom's hardware that like even a super basic onboard sound computer DAC with the decent amplification is as good as pretty much anything um but I'm not that sold on the backside but on the amp side of things we're probably gonna end up with amps that are not that great and we're also gonna end up buying a new DAC and amp every time we buy a new pair of headphones it just adds cost in a way and complexity in a way that I don't think they're trying to use it thickness I I don't know I cuz headphone jack has been something they've been complaining about in terms of thickness it makes me super sag so they're doing all this for thickness like wow you're going the wrong direction I mean I have other issues with the headphone jack it's also not particularly robust but it's so compatible like it can be adapted to the quarter inch jack it can be used on anything from like an AV receiver from 20 years ago all the way up to the latest iPhone to to your car with an auxilary input like it's just as long as and like I don't even like a USB type-c to three-and-a-half millimeter adapter is good enough but if it goes ubiquitous like if by the time my kid has a phone there's a Type C Jack on literally everything that handles these duties that can also work with outboard amps and Dax and the entire ecosystem it catches up a slash over takes the older analog solution then maybe but I like I'm gonna have a hard time saying goodbye to older headphones that I mean it felt like a module like a module a USBC consortium or whatever it's called yeah I just I don't really know I don't really know what to say about this I'm not a huge fan I feels like something that is sort of unnecessary but I see why they're doing it because in addition to any thickness concerns with the three-and-a-half millimeter jack there are also complexity concerns with putting the amps and the DAX inside the device as we continue to try and make it smaller and consume less power yeah so if you can have a battery powered optionally battery powered or also powered off the device external thing I don't really want to power stuff off my phone like I don't I want more battery in my phone I don't want to take stuff from and I've heard arguments that I forget what it is exactly about Sennheiser's Orpheus - or whatever they call their new $50,000 headphone but they actually do have some amplification if I recall correctly in the headphones because having it closer to the driver was able to maintain better signal integrity and stuff and stuff it's just I'm not sold on that approach making as much sense for a pair of plastic headphones from the Apple Store that's a brightly colored as it does for a green yeah fifty thousand dollar product where that that difference in signal integrity is still probably pretty hard to pick up on yeah so they're promoting so here's here's in a nutshell what's on like a fundamental gold slide remove the three-and-a-half millimeter audio jack from sources so analog audio okay this is actually a little bit more details this page wasn't loading before analog audio is basically a connector replacement and then they want to promote the move from analog to digital so volume and shrinking transistors will reduce the cost over time users see and value improved digital headset features do you value digital headset features no okay the only one that I can really even think of is surround don't care which I do not use yep me neither so yeah yeah also there is no reason why you couldn't do that processing on the device because two speakers is still two speakers so whether you're gonna do your surround processing in the headphones or whether you're gonna do it on the device to actually just really doesn't make much of a difference it's just where you do that digital processing because you're still have you still have to go to analog at some point if you want to make sound alright sorry I'm just trying to deal with yeah no it's fine a lot of this stuff is I can talk about mr. Elias while I do this because I don't need to yeah sure so this was originally posted on the forum by no one um but we've got the original article here on battle.net go ahead and pull that up it is a sticky and it is a pretty popular sticky if you know what I mean so basically this is the first time since Blizzard pulled down Australia's that they're actually responding you should probably explain what Australia says it's a vanilla Wow server that was community supported effectively a pirate server but they were offering a gameplay experience that Blizzard was not willing or or necessarily able to offer yeah and they were not doing it for commercial gain which doesn't mean that you can just no take someone's IP see our coverage last week it's two weeks ago vanilla WoW is essentially a nickname of sorts for the original version of World of Warcraft which has been essentially completely obliterated on the current retail version of World of Warcraft in order to make room for their new stuff which kind of makes sense but if you look at their subscriber numbers it kind of backs up the idea that their new stuff sucks so people want to play their old stuff and a lot of people did want to actually play it so they went on this free server which is a pirate server which is kind of stealing blizzards IP which is kind of sort of totally completely not okay so Blizzard takes it down and they don't say anything until more or less now this post goes up nostalgia responded to this post saying that yes in fact like it says in this post they have talked to us even to the point of saying that they are apparently going to Blizzard HQ and we'll have an update this weekend so it does actually sound like something might legitimately be happening which is good so a lot of people are kind of stoked about that hope that kind of like honestly it sounds like they might actually be releasing their own servers which from the nostalgia screw and from everyone that I know including myself that played on misterios is what we want we super just want Blizzard to do it because that would be so much better because one they get to be greedy and take all of our money which is great take the money for the thing that you made Blizzard that's awesome no one is trying to make it so that you can't take the money for the thing that you built that is fair but it's it's good to have like a proper company running these things so that you know the next time you log in it's gonna be there because exactly that happened tried to login and it wasn't there it was that so the the maybe not-so-great part of this whole letter was when they went like yeah but we've been thinking about this other thing called pristine servers what pristine servers are is it's the current version of world Warcraft exactly like it is now except no experience scaling know like realm transfers and no bind on account gear and like a few other things so like you get to play the new shitty game but with like maybe slightly less I was trying not to swear wow I didn't work I went the whole stream until right there so when other news space acts plans to send it to Dragon spacecraft to Mars using the Falcon heavy rocket because they are just so good at names that sound so awesome Falcon heavy rocket the they believe that this mission can provide key data to SpaceX as the company develops an overall plan to send humans to Mars basically they want to just do it so they can kind of see what complications and whatnot they may have which is cool that makes sense freaking awesome how should we learn how to do the thing well maybe if we do the thing let's just spend all the money yeah and do all the things and then we'll know what things about those things don't worry at the same time though this can be definitely seen as an investment because they just won a military contract for massive amounts of money to put a satellite in space this is the first time in like a huge period of time that like Boeing and whoever else didn't get that contract right so by showing that they're awesome they're getting these really good contracts from NASA in the military and if they're like look we're already working on Mars and we have all the really good data for to Mars you should probably work with us if you want to get there or if you want to go further than that or further than orbit then that could win them more contracts than you so there are some challenges the atmosphere on Mars is so thin that it provides little braking capacity so they plan to use an upgraded spacecraft a dragon - if you will powered by eight super Draco engines management using propulsion more details to be unveiled at the International Astronautical conference from September 26 to September 30th I want to go to that just to say I went where were you as we handled the International Astronautical conference this is their propulsive hover test so insane that's amazing oh man oh man oh okay anyway I'll just stop in fact I'm just gonna I'm gonna call the whole thing now okay that's fair thank you guys very much for tuning in to the wine show we will see you again next week same bat-time same bat-channel
