damn it it looks like I have a hickey but it's actually just me scratching my neck right before the show started and on that on that note the show has now started welcome to the wen show oh this is awesome iMessage brand in about 10 minutes ago hey can I borrow you for a minute I'm at the wine show set and he pokes his head out the door as I'm recording the pre-show starting bit deal and thinks that I'm live and goes back away and then I messaged him right afterwards when I was done I'm like oh hey I'm ready for you now it takes them like eight minutes to see it now he comes out I'm actually live Brandon I just wanted you to have a look at the color temperature of this light it looks off it's been on for quite some time is it adjustable it's like there's like voodoo magic that goes on around here adjustable color temperatures of Lights he's actually kick-started some legitimately color changing lights that are going to be like now you can adjust the white point you can adjust the color point I'm clearly just stalling for time while I wait for this doc to load up on my screen here but that's okay cuz it's here now we've got a lot of great topics for you guys today Luke's gonna be joining me on the show very very shortly he's actually just finishing up a video right behind me there yep he's there see that trust me it is the actual the actual Luke do I look better now I'm like really bright now but that's okay that's fine don't worry about it Brandon it's all good so we've got a lot of great stuff for you guys today AMD's risin Vansant right this time Rison has been detailed it's going to be octa-core 2.4 gigahertz dynamic overclocking we will talk more about that for sure Amazon's first prime air delivery has taken place Microsoft is bringing Cortana two fridges toasters thermostats and Space Marine suits near you and Crytek is syncing wages unpaid talent leaving will there be another crisis I mean yes but not with a why so let's go ahead and roll the intro which has no audio long story couldn't get it working don't don't don't do-do-do-do-do if you do I'm going to use this time to post to Facebook that we are starting the wine show do only audio on the left channel how does that work how do these things change who changes these things ah hold on a second wait what how how how is this even possible how is anything that it doesn't even have the there's like a feature there's a feature in xsplit to to mix them together okay here we go copy left to right let's try that it was on automatic um I don't know go try that go let me know why is life hard speaking of life being hard Squarespace makes it so that your life is not so hard if that is to say if your life is making a website on Squarespace also I fix it which again maybe doesn't make your life easier but does make your life cheaper um which maybe came across wrong but you you save money so there you go you save money on your repairs so it's it's like it's harder to do it yourself but you don't have to pay someone else to do it but it's easier than if you didn't have the necessary to you know what I give up let's just let's just cancel way and show this week nope I can't do it no not because I'm sick no we're not cancelling wedding so I'm back I'm back all right non-existent human figures his or her left ear is now more used than his or her right ear you know what I I take no responsibility for any of that Brendon I think it looks fine now thank you very much for your hard work except for that bounce card okay thank you very much yes you may retrieve the bounce card you know Brandon and I had a deal we had a deal when we moved into this warehouse the deal was that he would get his very own corner of this 6000 square foot space that I acquired and if I allocated him that corner I wouldn't have to deal with all of his crap all over the place that was the deal that covenant that covenant Brandon has been broken he okay the only reason he doesn't have his spot is because it has taken him over a year to get the set built in it he had a budget from before we moved in to get that done he just didn't get it done um also oh I have some other things that we just couldn't get done news for you guys this one's really exciting and closely related to the audio issues that we had shortly before the show started here so focus right I don't know if you're familiar with them but they make we actually have one of their doodads here and the only reason we're not using it is because we've had issues with our compressor and the microphone that we've had hooked up to it anyway Focusrite reached out to us and this is kind of funny they reached out about doing a review of some of their gear and I kind of went you know what I don't think that it is going to carry a lot of credibility if I come in and start reviewing like professional audio gear and they're like oh setup is like pretty good yeah you know what so get out of here yeah you're supposed to be not on the show right now so so they're like oh why is that and I go well you see we've got this live show and we can never get the we can never get the audio working and it's taken literally years and they kind of go oh well we could help you with that and I'm like well heck yeah so the plan right now is for them to come down here next week and we are going to share with you guys all in one video everything that we've done to improve when show over the last little bit here so the new capture cards you've noticed actually for the last couple of months we haven't had any capture issues the new lighting setup that we've got actually the lights themselves didn't change but it's really quick to set up now which is pretty freakin cool we are completely redoing the win show computer so Corsairs given us their new case and we're going to like do up the win show PC and finally Focusrite is coming in to they are actually sending technicians not just gear they were like yeah we can send you all the gear you want them like that's great we have gear that's really not the problem so they are sending us actual texts either one or two to come and not just set everything up for us but actually show us how it all works so I'm super duper excited and it is going to be freaking awesome and with all these improvements says John d03 why is the show still late well today the show is late because I had the brilliant idea of not working on the video I was supposed to be working on today which is a review of the Asus g20 which is freaking awesome so if I mean we're use no doubt to take this as early impressions okay so let me let me just bring this I thought I had the page up already yeah here it is let's go ahead and screen share here so this puppy right here so take this as the early impressions that it is the g20 CB man their names suck but it's really small about ten liters I think nine and a half liters it's got a core i7 6700 in it and the model I've got has a GTX 1080 with 512 gigs of SSD storage and one terabyte of hard drive based storage and it is unbelievably quiet for all the performance they have managed to pack in that tiny little enclosure really really impressed so far anyway so instead of working on that I was like you know would be cool if I could find a way to get OS 10 Sierra running on a legitimately powerful laptop so I was like I'm gonna try and hackintosh a laptop today and I ran into a wide variety of problems everything from Apple's download server being so slow it took me an hour to download OS 10 Sierra on a gigabit connection so so there was that there was the I'm doing it through on rate I'm actually doing it through a VM you know because which might actually be easier for you yes so I found as like step by step guide which is pretty much what I need to do any hackintosh stuff because I'm not an experienced hackintosh sure the last time we did a hackintosh thing I very closely followed a step by step guide and still had problem yeah so um uh what were some of the other problems I had today III oh yes right so the the guide was based on creating the CR installer on Yosemite I believe or El Capitan or something like that so the disc utility has changed and then I wasn't able to create an image doing thing anyway I the original image I created was on a 64 gig USB five so so it was a sixty-four kick image because I'm an idiot and like it was just it was one of those I'm in a rush so I'm doing things that are done then it's not working very well types of days today those are always brutal yeah not that you'd know anything about that today yup only if I'm gonna be under the bus I'm pulling you down with me oh that's fair I was trying to do a I'm not gonna tell you exactly what it is I was trying to do a video on a laptop thing that I was doing it included a laptop and I'm gonna go back and keep working on it now but the brightness was so low that trying to record with a camera showed like crazy flickering and then I was like I was the genius who came in and was like hey why don't we just capture it on a separate device and then yeah it doesn't have any HDMI port so VGA I don't think we have a single VGA capture device I don't know yeah yeah back to get back to what you're doing alright alright alright everybody wants me to talk about AMD Rison which is not the same as the ricin from Breaking Bad in that it won't kill you I am gonna start with this so first of all let's go ahead and HK 0 5 was the original poster on the forum and the source for the article here was video cards dot-com here's a bunch of information I'm going to kick off with this that name is terrible they might as well have brought back Doron as far as I'm concerned nobody is going to pronounce that rise in its risen why are you and like why would you even draw attention to something that your fans have been in denial of for so long why would you call the product risen because let's face it it is not rising it is risen why would you call it risen that is an admission that you had fallen somewhere how many people are going to be disappointed about that anyway from the look of things there's nothing to be disappointed about spec wise so we've got Tom here we go where's the information on this page here we go so the key info is here 8 cores 16 threads 3.4 gigahertz plus they've done some comparisons they've done some demos that lead us to believe it is something similar to Broadwell in terms of the performance per clock which would make this a very compelling CPU if it comes in at the right kind of price 20 Meg's of level 2 and level 3 cache an extended frequency range so some kind of turbo boost or like GPU boost like technology that will reward users who are cooling the CPU well fully automated apparently with no user intervention required which is pretty cool ok so a bunch of caching stuff tatatatatada temperature speed and voltage monitoring it adaptively controls all of that stuff in real time for lower power usage so that's cool fine green frequency control boost I mean the reality of it is there's not a whole lot to say about a CPU other than that like yes it's fast and it's power efficient so as long as you've got that stuff nailed down then if the price is right then you've got my attention here we go the am4 platform this honestly is more out of date than AMD's existing CPUs from a purely performance standpoint that note sorry am for is not am3+ was I mean it was still PCI Express 2.0 for crying out loud AMD has been building gpus designed to work best on an Intel platform for like three four years now like a long long time so finally AMD is bringing the platform up to date ddr4 and it looks like we're going to get four slots there so dual-channel ddr2 look of things PCI Express gen3 USB 3.1 gen2 so 10 Gigabit USB nvme SATA Express I guess I am Dee didn't get the memo when they were working on am for that SATA Express is completely dead in the water but that's ok that's ok they're still not going to have Intel exclusive technologies like Thunderbolt but I mean this is this is actually almost an entirely separate discussion for when show does Thunderbolt matter much and you can look at you can look at a variety of different indicators that tell us what industry leaders think of Thunderbolt so Apple equipped the latest MacBook Pro with anywhere from 2 to on most SKUs for Thunderbolt 3 ports but they also did this in a way that to me indicates that they don't they were just trying to give their users the the utmost in expandability and flexibility moving forward in terms of what they can plug into those ports because their type-c ports that support USB 3.1 gen2 so that's 10 Gigabit Thunderbolt 3 so that's 40 gigabit as well as hdmi displayport all that stuff so the idea was just like the ultimate versatility like simplifying life for the Mac user just you plugged your power you plug in your display you plug anything into this and boopity Boppity black it just works except for one thing Apple apparently didn't think the actual fun durable three functionality was important enough to bother to have their laptop work with any Thunderbolt three devices that are on the market I don't know if you guys have been paying attention to this but go shop for a Thunderbolt 3 peripheral that's certified to work on the MacBook Pro you won't find one and the reason for that and I cover this in my MacBook Pro review which is coming to YouTube I think sometime next week something like that anyway my MacBook Pro review is coming but I cover this and all the Thunderbolt 3 devices out there right now are running a first-generation Texas Instruments chipset for USB power delivery and all that nonsense and Apple specifically locked out any devices using that first-generation chipset from working in OS 10 Sierra on the MacBook Pro so you can you can boot windows you can boot camp into Windows and you can run a razor core or we've gotten a kitty o external drive enclosure that works just fine you plug it in an OS 10 nothing it doesn't even give you an error it's not even like oh hey so we're a bunch of like butt heads and we decided not to validate for that older controller I suspect there's a reason it might have to do with the because it's out like it's a power management like it's a power delivery circuit of some sort like it manages its it might have something to do with the way that the MacBook charges on any of the ports or something or it could have something to do with the fact that I believe it also handles USB connectivity and it only handles USB 3.1 gen it was like for the most seamless possible experience everything that works in this port is 10 Gigabit USB 3 or definite I don't know I'm trying to find a reason for them but maybe Phil Schiller will post somewhere he'll talk to the verge and he'll say Linus is an idiot he got it wrong there's a thousand reasons why this makes perfect but it works in Windows and it doesn't even bother to give you an error message in OS 10 so so what this means what I'm coming back to is Apple apparently thought it was important enough to put on their laptop but didn't think it was important enough for there to actually be any Thunderbolt devices that plug into it for like weeks after the launch and maybe maybe they weren't wrong because I was looking I was actually trying to find some Thunderbolt 3 docks because I wanted to do like a roundup or something on Amazon and that was when I realized there was this whole issue because I couldn't find any and what I realized was 99% of anything I could possibly want to do on a laptop even high-speed external storage at 10 gigabit I mean we're talking one gigabyte per second there's nothing 8k red footage doesn't require more than one gigabyte per second to a nice high performance USB type-c SSD there's nothing that requires this and why would you want to plug anything into it that wasn't first party Macintosh anyways really you came onto the show to contribute that why are you even here what why even bought bringing the hardcore arguments ok so anyway everything else so there's my my dongle but it's not in my bag because I was actually doing something on the the MacBook just a minute ago but I've got a dongle that does SD micro SD HDMI 3 USB 3.0 s nothing's actually sweet and power in pass-through and I'm sitting here going so that's like all the i/o that I would have already had on like a laptop that has i/o just like that and I've got and I've got three more yeah Plus this doesn't even have an SD card reader or even it and I've got three oh yeah it has Ethernet - it's a really cool adapter I'm gonna have a video coming anyway and I've got three more that I can plug in like a Type C to DisplayPort or a type C to another DisplayPort BAM now I've got dual external on and I've still got one more so what do I actually need Thunderbolt three four and so I guess Apple kind of had the same thought is like what what is this actually for what ninety-nine I would even say point five percent of users are ever going to plug into a MacBook Pro is handled just fine by USB so bringing it all the way back to AMD's platform not having support for Thunderbolt three does that matter remains to be seen but I would speculate that it will only affect some very very nice edge cases and most people won't care the main one for me on a laptop is support for an external GPU because I think that's the future as the price comes down for those external GPU enclosures I mean alien wares is only a couple hundred bucks and make it less screwed up a lot more reasonable and the inter compatibility gets way better that to me is how people are gonna game in the future it's just like we're not there yet so in total yeah you think everyone's going to be on laptops with external GPUs I think to make a prediction like everyone will do anything would be shooting myself in the foot right cuz someone's garage percentage someone's gonna find this clip yeah yeah maybe even not a large percent of a percentage of people for a long time cuz you got to think about the upgrade cycle right like people aren't going to want to just throw out a perfectly functional computer and the rate at which CPU performance is increasing there's a lot of very perfectly functional computers that are three four years old at this point but I think and especially looking at skylake versus KB Lake the performance increase we're seeing even on the laptop side of things I think people are going to start to think about in the next two to three years gee this laptop I have is like still pretty darn good I just wish I could game on it and those are going to get cheaper and they're going to go this makes a ton of sense and people are going to start to invest in it a lot of gaming on his laptop already mmm-hmm so it's an interesting and like with with blades being able to play like pretty much kind of everything yeah it's an interesting idea alright so um there you guys have it risen or rising you know what I am stubbornly calling it the Titan XP forever I think I'm going to stubbornly call it risen forever I think I think I'm going to commit to that so you guys let me know in twitch chat if you if you if you hate that but I don't think any of you will I think you guys are probably going to be with me on this one alright what other important topics do we have today the iPhone 6s reportedly explodes post charging the original article here is from yahoo.com that is a super big bummer for Nick light who just bought my old iPhone 6s off me what a loser and it's pink ah oh I hate that guy um so what up what do we got in here apple announced that it will be releasing an iOS update next week that will allow them to better diagnose any battery issues on December 6 reports of exploding iPhones surfaced in China you know we do have to of course you know take this with a grain of salt because there have been cases of exploding iPhones in the past that and again I'm making up statistics on the spot but it seems to me that well over half of them have been caused by unauthorized third-party chargers that we're doing a bad job of managing apples you know proprietary battery management algorithm nonsense so let's kind of keep an eye on this but allegedly the shanghai consumer council has received eight separate reports of iphones exploding adding that it had seen a big rise in the number of complaints against iphones in the past two months on friday and iphone success started spewing immediately after it with unplug from charging them went up in flames I'm assuming smoke is missing from that sentence in my notes Apple blames the problem on ambient air during the manufacturing process said the problem is limited to a small number of iPhone 6's devices manufactured between September and October 2015 ugly it's not the pink 128 gig one's moving on to our next topic this one was originally posted by dat speed on the forum Facebook is now partnering with fact checkers to stop fake news the original article here is from the verge and basically they're they're creating some new tools for reporting hoaxes and as much as they've denied any responsibility for having any kind of effect on the outcome of the 2016 US election it seems as though internally at least they are taking very seriously what others are alleging and that is that they did have an effect so in a nutshell here's what they're doing they've got tools that are designed to make it easier to report links shared in the newsfeed as fake news and they're working with four independent fact-checking organizations to assess the accuracy of viral stories snopes politifact ABC News and factcheck.org Facebook users who share a story that's been marked as false will be warned that independent fact checkers have disputed its accuracy Facebook will use a variety of signals to identify stories that are likely to be false so this includes stories that people post but later delete and also includes lots of comments about them being fake they will use these and other signals to populate a dashboard of dubious stories and fact-checking partners will get access to the dashboard they will then investigate the articles claims and market as disputed and linked to their own article debunking it if at least two fact-checking organizations mark a story as disputed users will begin seeing a and are under the article if it appears in their newsfeed and we've got a picture of what that banner would look like so here we go and you just blow that up for you guys disputed by third-party fact-checkers ah what else is going on here yeah so Facebook's product management lead Adam maseri said they are focusing their efforts on the worst of the worst clear hoaxes spread by spammers for their own gain they also said they're doing more to eliminate financial incentives behind fake news so will also prevent publishers that you spoof domains like BuzzFeed feed calm or ABC News comm Co from buying ads on the platform so honestly I don't know how much of an effect this will have you know the how do I put this I'm trying to stay more apolitical on the show so certain people seem to be impervious to here I'll put it in quotes facts presented by outlets that they have been convinced somehow are out to lie to them about everything and you know what depending on which way your political leanings go you could interpret that from either side so I think I've stayed fairly safe here but basically it's a it's it's it's a well-established phenomena that's going on right now phenomenon yeah it's all just one that there are these echo chambers on the right and the left and that no one seems to even even if sort of a untrustworthy news source on one side or the other were to say something that was factual there's this inherent distrust that exists so I sincerely doubt that any kind of warning under an article in a news feed would really do much of anything to cause the reader to not believe it and if anything I think this is just going to create anger towards Facebook for being part of the left-wing liberal media dishonest whatever or the other side as it were if there are fake stories that you know if someone's feed is just full of a bunch of stuff that Facebook's flagging is news as or as fake and they trust all these news sources I think it's going to create distrust towards Facebook as opposed to the other way around but I would love to be wrong about this so yeah yeah got a lot twitch chat twitch chat is wow twitch chat is not encouraging me they are basically they're basically going yep sounds about right people are going to believe what they want to believe so there's that yeah we've got people saying hey if it's if it's worthy of being flagged as clearly fake it should be removed but then you're going to have you know the the free speech the people who don't quite understand the difference between the right to free speech and the right to say whatever you want in a private forum you're going to have those people raising heck and and all that stuff so this is a great question what about the onion um you know now it's a great question like I personally probably wouldn't click on a satirical news story like something that the onion would produce if it was flagged as fake news do they classify satire separately could fake news outlets hide behind satire these are all great questions and this is a very this is a very this is very challenging water that Facebook is heading into I'm glad they're doing something but I really think they're going to have a hard time finding a middle ground that doesn't work many many of their users I mean the good news for Facebook is they're in a position of power to do something like this where what else is there they're basically a social network monopoly it's like out of a hundred friends you know ten of them might have whatsapp three of them might have Google Hangouts fifteen of them might have Twitter and I'm making up these numbers don't quote me on these numbers but like ninety five of them probably have Facebook even if they don't use it super regularly so there you go it's like it's like the modern white pages it's like you probably are listed on Facebook unless you like specifically went out of your way to contact the white pages and you know get your number removed basically like that people like we want Luke they want you Luke so that's one thing I have in common with our viewers you're just going to step in and contribute something completely worthless to my topic once again is that what you have to know I'm not talking about anything I'm not talking about anything we don't forget it Isis I'm talking about Facebook no I'm not is website can you not bump the table and knock everything over other thing - tech tips comm that has ever been created the best the best they have the best but also I heard that Colonel mortis made Facebook he's the CEO I think that's why Linus tech tips is the only website that's better because he also basically runs sizing all right okay so speaking of the Linus tech tips website being awesome oh well there's a post that I had meant to make on Linus tech tips com last night and never did so speaking of Linus tech tips being awesome this is a is a what's it called shameless yes entirely shameless plug for the forum actually Luke I do need your help for a minute I'm logged into my administer anything that I'm looking at right now that is in criminal right now okay so I won't change it I will not do that okay yeah I'm good I'll be good um at some point Luke is just going to take away my minute count on the forum I'm sure that it will happen and I'm sure that I will deserve it to have happened but basically right now exclusively for floatplane club members nerd sports in its entirety we bought back the rights when vessel went kaput is up episodes one two five volleyball lacrosse dodgeball hockey and curling watch the Linus Media Group crew take on hi guys thank you for that actual athletes in all of those sports on the floatplane Club so if you guys are wondering how to join the floatplane Club it is pretty straightforward all you do is head over to the Linus tech tips forum we've got an item on there in the store ah nose is itchy item on there in the store floatplane club there you go so you go ahead you buy that item it's a subscription and you get early access to LTT videos we're building our own streaming platform which luke has been very hard at work on and we've got it working up to 1080p streaming that users are reporting looks better than youtube's 1080p we've had people telling us it looks better than their 4k right yeah and we're not done yet by the way everyone else shout out to Eric Kath boiler mortis yep that's fine I got it yeah we're trying to get him to change his name like maybe we should get like a change.org thing going maybe everyone in chat I suggest a new name for count yeah new names for cat boiler that would be amazing I'm not yeah I've been on the slack and like yeah a few weeks yeah um alright alright thank you thank you anyway good news for everyone who doesn't want to join flow playing club though so while they're all up there so you can binge-watch you can also check them out on youtube on the channel super fun channel starting this weekend so we're going to be releasing them one per weekend for the next five weeks and everyone will have access to nerd sports so we're really excited to we're really excited to get that going Wow most of these suggestions from twitch chat are terrible like beyond terrible cat griller kitty boiler dog roaster cat vagina dog freezer Cal wanker yet none of those that cat did learn grabber ah yeah cat broiler slightly different um oh okay oh okay hold on hold on we got to take we got to take a short break here well Luke records part of his video and what I want you guys doing now because all of your suggestions for cat boilers name are awful they're bad you should feel bad is I want you guys to try and figure out what video Lucas filming so I'm just going to be quiet for a moment here restarting the computer took for ever 2 minutes and 13 seconds to be exact go from clicking the restart button to having Firefox up on the Linus tech tips page and it did really get much better from there block loading boxes took a very long time to the point where I was worried that it wasn't a function at all steam I was actually 100% convincing failing all the way in shitless restarting the computer took forever from pressing the restart button to having Firefox loaded with the last exit homepage on it took 2 minutes and 13 I could also go on ASMR on this baby hold a whole topic like this okay Crytek is sinking which is unpaid talent leaving the original poster for this was Patrick JP 93 on the forum now there have been rumors swirling around Crytek makers of Far Cry Crysis Crysis do crisis theory and cryogen I'm pretty sure they did other things too but there's at least that going for them about there being all kinds of instability wages unpaid they've denied it and denied it and denied it and things had actually returned to stability until I'm talking about something else what out of here what so things had been financially stable at Crytek until June of this year around that time Crytek's frankfurt office discovered that they weren't going to be paid on time the upper management ensured employees that all financial problems would be worked out by August 2016 and that there would be enough money to remain stable for at least 18 months payroll was two weeks late for July and August September came and payroll was five weeks late wages for October and November have yet to be paid December's pay is due in about three weeks time kick guru reports that their source says there has been no indication of financial issues until June of this year but those still at the Frankfurt office have submitted a legal letter to management informing them that if wages for October November and December aren't paid in full by the end of next week they will stop working those that the Budapest Studio have apparently already stopped turning up to work the company has about 700 employees though it's hard to say if they actually have those employees if they aren't paying them if I stopped paying you guys would I still have you thanks for that Buerkle I wasn't for linus Media Group - Media Group accepts no responsibility for any of that all right um Oh sponsors I gotta talk sponsors right now Squarespace Squarespace is the place to go if you think that websites are places can a website be a place sort of okay so web sites web space webspace Squarespace is the place to go on the Internet if you want to build yourself a fantastic-looking web site and do it on the cheap on the easy and on the fast yes my friends cheap fast and easy those are definitely not the talking points that are in my my document here but that's okay sometimes I go off script and sometimes I don't get fired Squarespace lets you pick from any one of their beautiful templates basically plunk in some text and some images rearrange some stuff it's all done through like a cloud web interface you can set up a store you can set up like a one-page presence in like a matter of minutes you can your favorite waited logo designer no it's actually not my point is that you can tweet not that you should - gee Sebastian so his personal account you should flood his personal account why are you doing this - with one-page websites that you think are just the best it'll basically be like his greatest the greatest yeah the best web sites you have actually contributed like in a below-zero manner to the quality of today's show speaker which and this is a show that had no audio in the intro and audio only in the lab channel for the first four minutes speaker boot that is where you're at today I think you should do the rest of this bonus about - ASMR no you can't because then that would bring up my audio tubing that would suck okay I'm waiting after you a pick up thing but it's good okay I'm here now so Squarespace has got me it's available to anyone who wants to spend a few bucks a month anybody and have a great website and it's got a responsive design so it works on your phone tablet and on your laptop consoles and on you yeah I guess there's no reason it wasn't probably a Nintendo DS so when you sign up for Squarespace make sure to use offer code when to get 10% off your first purchase and if all of you do it right now after watching this sponsorship spot then maybe you won't have to listen to these Squarespace spots ever again because whenever we do them in the future no new people will sign up because everyone in our audience will already have a Squarespace website think about that for a moment and go sign up for Squarespace today it's a trick because you I got you that's actually how that would work though it's like yeah Linus you know I mean it's great yeah one really good day and now we're just not gonna pay you anymore yeah cuz you're clearly done yeah everyone on earth has a Squarespace website now so the gigs up this effort has going to be done alright um let's move on to I fix it I fix it dot-com is the place to go if you want to repair your electronics phones tablets all-in-ones monitors even

get some are fine you got to get real close up for Nick hey I found a guitar pick you the prison thank you I'm here for you Western Digital is announcing high-capacity 12 terabyte and 14 terabyte helium-filled hard drives the original article here is extreme tech calm and oh I am not in the corner of that anymore but don't worry about it this ads gonna go away pretty freakin fantastic so the 12 terabyte is an 8 freaking platter design 8 platters in there and the 14 terabyte is a shingled magnetic recording design so the 12 terabyte is going to actually perform significantly better but like holy crap I have spent some time with Seagate's archive drives which are also shingled magnetic recording drives and they're like actually not that bad for archival use and 14 terabytes per disk would mean that in something like a store an ATAR 60 I mean what is that freaking math work out to you'd be able to put it so 60 drives 60 drives you'd be able to put 60 terabytes plus another 40 percent of that so that would be another 12 so you'd be able to put 72 freakin terabytes in a single store inator XL 60 Wow unreal I mean never mind it being absolutely terrifying that if one of your drives dies like if you are actually using these in a desktop that you could lose anywhere from 12 to 14 terabytes of data but of course that's just the usual very strong argument for not just redundancy but backups so there you go um yeah I guess that's pretty much all there is to say about that Amazon's first prime air Dilla can I talk louder Amazon's first prime air delivery has happened it's official it was posted by pig hammer on the forum the original article here is from kit goo Ruta net and here it is it happened December 7th 2016 fully autonomous hold on let me mute that volume there it's a two-minute video so I'm not going to watch the whole thing but like blah blah blah there's some footage blah blah blah something something fire TV of course they ordered a fire TV because they wanted one of those and there's a drone when there's presumably another drone taking videos of the drones that drone while you drone so you can drone will you drone fulfilled there it isn't yard Wow frickin future man freaking future I am like super excited about this like super excite anyone outside of a fairly dense urban center I'd imagine this isn't going to benefit them for quite some time but then the idea of not just from like a consumer standpoint of it would sure be cool if I could order crap under two kilograms crap under two kilograms and so there's two customers taking place in the trial right now due to the fact that they live close enough to the fulfillment center so as long as you live close enough to a fulfillment center in your order is under two kilograms I'm super excited to be able to receive stuff within like potentially hours or even minutes of ordering it because that's like super amazing as a consumer but I am also excited from just a like an efficiency standpoint I mean compared to sending a truck to your house to deliver like a pack of batteries like think about the efficiency of being able to use a little electrically powered device to do the last the last mile because there's a huge variety of ways that they could deploy this like Amazon could just have a truck kind of drive out to some you know intelligently you know determined optimized point and you know kind of like in Phantom Menace sorry I shouldn't be talking about Phantom - we all agreed not to talk about that movie I'm sorry anyway like in that movie where the the droids like slide out of the back of the tank thing and they like deploy and then they don't deploy in the air because they're walking droids because you know for some reason they thought that would be a good idea anyway there's there's a hundred different ways that they could make it so that delivery to people's homes could be less environmentally impactful and just generally more efficient than it is today using this kind of technology so that is super duper exciting I mean yeah you look at the more traditional way of getting goods and it is inherently more efficient than having a distribution hub and then vehicles driving out like a like a spoken-- wheel type system out from there to drop-off to individual customers because you would carry you know pallets at a time of stuff like milk for example so while yes the consumer is effectively doing the same thing where they are driving their individual car to and from like some kind of a hub they are picking up more than one thing at a time and they're usually like if they're if they're clever consumers they're consolidating their trips so the grocery store gets a consolidated large shipment of eggs or milk or whatever the case may be and then the consumer comes in buys eggs and milk and you know this weird little container in the shape of a goldfish cracker that fits goldfish crackers in it because his kids wouldn't shut up about it and they wanted it so badly and it was only like three dollars not that I'm speaking about from personal experience on that last one all right twitch introduces Auto mod a self learning moderation tool so this was posted on the forum by Novus ball and the original article is from kit guru.com and they are going to be using machine learning to help police chat this has got to be one of the best things that I've seen come out of the Amazon acquisition of twitch so our we have actually put a fair bit of work into our own moderation bot and it is baffling to me that twitch had not invested in this kind of thing before so Auto mod will be a chatbot that uses machine learning and natural language processing to police chat rooms it is not entirely intended to replace human moderators and twitch lines tagline for the announcement is moderators are the sword Auto mod is the shield which is super lame it is lame so twitch notes that streamers can configure Auto mod by selecting one of four different levels so these levels affect how aggressively Auto mod holds back messages under four categories identity sexual language aggressive speech and profanity when Auto mod Flags a message it lets the original sender know that moderators will review the messages contents before it's sent to chat meanwhile the message is shown to mods for approval so yes their slogan makes sense it's just lame that's all and we can agree to disagree on this if you want speaking of twitch and streaming this is kind of a big deal I mean League of Legends is getting reported on in the Wall Street Journal League of Legends eSports contests lure newest fan Major League Baseball $0.10 Riot Games in a 300 million dollar deal with MLB unit to stream competitive video gaming so now Major League Baseball and the NBA are getting involved in big league gaming so BAM Tech was spun into its own company from Major League Baseball and Disney as well as the National Hockey League oh sorry from Major League Baseball Disney as well as the National Hockey League own a part of it according to The Wall Street Journal the agreement calls for BAM tech to pay a minimum 300 million through 2023 to Riot Games in return they'll get exclusive rights to stream and monetize the company's popular multiplayer online battle arena game Bamm Tech plans to launch a league of Legends streaming service with apps for smartphones PCs and other devices they will also handle distribution on existing streaming portals like twitch and YouTube gaming Wow unreal holy actual freakin crap speaking of unreal holy actual freakin crap Microsoft is bringing Cortana to fridges toasters and thermostats so just in case you were thinking that you needed to be able to talk to your toaster you will be able to do that soon assuming you get some kind of supported device though to be perfectly honest and I would I would love to hear from you guys in the twitch chat on this I have never been compelled to replace an appliance for any reason other than my old one broke are you guys on the same page with me here like is anyone going like yeah I like super duper need that but what what could I possibly want my oven to do other than what it does already like five years from now what if you could leave a bag of popcorn in your microwave before you go to work and then you walk into your door and just say hey microwave make that popcorn and it's just ready in in two minutes why would you want to pre-heat your oven before your home but by the time you've finished preparing the thing that goes in the oven it's already preheated not not if it's a frozen pizza boom you guys are giving me so much cancer right now um so so okay thermostat fine intelligent thermostat sure but honestly it's going to be the same problem as it always is we're like you've got your nest thermostat already because you're the kind of tech junky that buys Internet of Things devices you've got your Lynas lock which is a thing by the way you've got your you know odd Samsung smart fridge that you can bet your bottom dollar they're not going to care about putting curtain on and then you've got your Cortana toaster and none of it is going to work together at all so it's just stupid and pointless so five 10 years from now when everyone gets over their egos and there's actually some kind of cohesive ecosystem I'm still calling it the iHome okay where Apple just does the whole thing themselves then you'll have my attention but for now and like okay and like when a smart fridge comes out that actually has like cameras all over the inside that keeps track of like like not just cameras like it needs to be able to like scan my milk my milk carton and know how full it is and stuff like when that fridge exists I'm down but until then I super don't care and neither do a lot of people um all right this is great so this was originally posted by up no one on the forum the original article hears from Mac rumors Apple will apparently charge sixty nine dollars to replace um hold on a second blah blah blah blah blah blah blah here we go so battery service will be forty-nine dollars each on air pods out of warranty 69 dollars each and if you lose an air pod they will charge 69 dollars which is only slightly less than half of the price of air pods in the first place if I recall correctly though I haven't actually gone and bought them yet and I don't remember because I am an idiot so let's go ahead no I don't want Apple dot CA no one knows Canadian dollars so if I talk about things in terms of Canadian dollars I'm just shooting myself in the foot I thought they were one foot another 159 okay so it's still only a little less than half of one um yeah what is there to say about it other than that I guess I will be reviewing the air pods so they went on sale Tuesday morning the earliest I'm able to get them is Sunday Apple stores in Canada are going to get them so I'm actually I'm coming in on Sunday Burkle's coming in on Sunday Tyler's going to be helping us out and we are going to be slamming together so I've already got all of my other wireless headphones like charged up firmware updated ready to rock I've got the braggy - I've got the j-bird freedoms and then I've got some regular ear pods with the lightning connector and I'm going to be whipping together a video for you guys that's going to be coming out on Sunday I can already I've never heard them before but I'm pretty sure I can already tell you how it goes they're expensive they sound like okay I guess they don't stay in your ears as well as some other solutions and I don't personally feel like the the absence of a cable in between them contributes much to the experience but if you want to watch that again but longer with Glam footage then sunday will be the time yes sir a video on installing Windows there's an NCIX tech tips so you could do that all right oh this is exciting posted on the forum by dat speed LG is taking a 4k HDR monitor with USB C to CES HDR is coming finally so AMD has got support for HDR I actually don't know about NVIDIA as HDR status there's no more time again no content want to add some more but yeah yeah I'm doing it alright there's there's like no content um actually my 4k blu-ray is it worth it video is coming to YouTube very soon as well should be a really good video if you're interested in HDR but in a nutshell 4k blu-ray does not run on a PC so there's there's really other than content creation I guess there's really not much reason to care about HDR on the PC but damn it it's coming and I'm going to be trying to get one of these from LG like ASAP because I think it would be flipping bananas to have like flow playing club now with better streaming quality than YouTube and with HDR which nobody will be using also actually oh this is another very important announcement for you guys it's official as of today we are going red we were looking at our looking at our accounting books it's almost year-end so this is the time for us to make any kinds of you know key investments but Tom we had an internal meeting and we kind of went okay we've got some equipment budget left over this year let's talk about some stuff we need to do so we're going to be changing up the LTTE set and we are it came up that a big mission for us is to have flow plane club streaming quality be better than any other streaming video quality on the web and we kind of went okay how are we going to achieve that shooting on a Sony fs5 so sometime in mid January our order will arrive we will be getting two red cameras a red weapon with 8k sensor and a red epic W we are going to be getting new lenses and we are we going to be going full-on sharpest possible image quality so get excited guys we've got we used to kind of keep up with the rat race that is the whole like you know let's be the first ones to 4k and let's get an external recorder and let's do this and let's do that but we'd allowed ourselves to fall behind a little bit and we are not going to let that happen anymore we're moving into a red eco system so stay tuned for that guys it is going to be a bit of a learning curve for us but it is going to result in some seriously sharp looking videos all right is there much else that's important here oh he's still going oopsie so the Microsoft Surface hub was originally posted by Ali's ad 2000 on the forum the original article here is from ARS technica let's go ahead and pop that up but the surprise Hardware hit the surface hub apparently the conference room computer is now a billion-dollar business are you freaking kidding me I saw this thing I went wow that's a really cool proof-of-concept that's pretty neat I didn't think they'd actually sell that many of them it went on sale earlier this year so the conference room computer it's the surface range of touchscreen computers is getting a whole lot bigger the surface hub is it's like an all-in-one system so it has OneNote Skype for business office and Universal windows apps and it puts in the conference room it's a single integrated device they first showed it off in January it includes dual 1080p cameras for video conferencing they run a special version of Windows 10 the big one supports an 84-inch 120 Hertz 3840 by 2160 screen packs of 4th generation intel core i7 paired with an nvidia quadro k 2200 graphics card and the smaller one is 55 inch 120 hertz 1080p uses a core i5 they both 128 K SSDs 8 gigs of RAM they don't just replace a whiteboard but a projector as well and both of them work as miracast receivers and have HDMI and VGA inputs as well so tell me something do you guys want to see a review of a surface hub like we looked at it we went no they're not sure that's kind of neat but like we never even thought to request one and we've actually got a surface studio one of only what is it for in the country two in the country and Luke's working on a review of that right now and hey well not like right now right now he's doing it right now I'm on but soon Ryan show but soon and maybe a great follow up to that would be the surface hub yes so thanks for tuning in to the wind show you guys uh we will see you again next one quick thing before we go did you see what we're not talking about nostalgia sit was in last week's weigh-in show oh no no that's not till this

reader that skims your card when it goes through I'm pretty sure I hosted that one who the hell installed that and in this situation they went even more hardcore and stopped like essentially an entire ATM on top of the one that was there how would anybody not notice I was zooming that looks like some crazy like foam seal thing at the top what the heck just walked in and just unbelievable isn't that
