2018-07-21
oh I really wish I could tell you guys why I'm late today but it's under embargo and I can't but it's really cool oh it's like well no but there's always a different reason and today the reason is actually really cool we what's that dude guy kicked off hardcore all right so we've got a great show for you guys today dennis is going to be sharing with us his experience of doing his very first episode of tech linked that I coin someone can someone zoom us in a little bit more we have we're like we're like swimming in the frame here if you don't mind I'll be great thank you yeah I like to get close and intimate see Dennis is never dennis has never been on when I hover so have you higher show are you the entire show no no I never action I'm also where the devil are my other adapters Jake all right so Dennis hosted his very first episode of teklynx today they request and it was pretty cringy from what I saw he was not don't don't bump the table cuz the mics not fit because it was pretty cringy from what I saw but maybe I missed some parts of it that were going smoothly that maybe maybe we're great so can you go ahead and let me know how that was for you so Brendan was shooting it it was fine lines it was okay so hold on Brandon don't go away let Dennis finish how did you go Dennis in the beginning was kind of hard to read some some words some words are hard oh so yeah Riley has to change the world like what's the word I couldn't pronounce I don't remember and he just changed something very simple like just say great okay I just used that word or like better something like that he just used that somewhere he uses too hard for me right and I think it's good you should watch the beat is coming out very soon okay out of 10 Brendan oh I think it's better than okay he's bad you better than my first time on camera so 66.5 okay so today's episode of tech linked don't miss it six and a half out of ten quality person fortunately we have at least fixed the the stream quality of the wine show some of you are speculating that we might have upgraded to a different camera no all we did was change the the video settings to the same as we used on the LG ultra wide streamed PC build yesterday and Luke so bippity Boppity fixed so Brandon says we've also fixed some of the lighting as well so so the reality of it is that the lights in question are like $60 softboxes are off being debate brandon these are nothing fancy right i don't think nothing fancy and the camera is it identical the capture hardware is identical we've just been doing it that wrong for that long so on that note let's get this when show epicfail party started I don't expect you to nobody can hear you right now right and they can they can yo my god all right so we have got a great show for you guys today we got a bunch of cool topics Apple's new MacBook Pro throttles so bad so bad that we had to do a dedicated livestream today to show how we could get it to throttle from being inside the packaging to thermal throttled in less than 20 minutes and we probably could have done it a lot faster if I had any idea what the heck I was doing with a macbook and if it was already unboxed we could we could have done it in like one minute so a number of different publications have talked about this so we'll talk about our results as well as others in other news the new MacBook Pro keyboard does apparently have crumb protection what's crumb protection from protection we will go through that in more detail once we get to that news topic this is the part where we tease them you know it's like it's like what the news segment that's like make sure you watch the news at 11:00 you know like oh wow coffee could give you aids in your mouth more at 11:00 I mean like no I need to know now hook it's a hook yeah it's the hook see dennis has learned so much about making videos since since he got here like when I first met him he was like yeah I'm gonna make a video about an interview and I'm gonna have a picture of Hitler in the background why do you mention this every time and I have explained this every time just forget about that's not true it is true it's 100% true when I interviewed Dennis on skype he had a poster of Hitler on the wall behind him see now he's trying to he's trying to run away from the truth but it was the truth okay it does require a little bit more context once you know what we're gonna talk about that later too the rise in three-hundredths their 3,000 series may have more than eight cores this is a rumor over at tech power up & masaya apparently has dropped some hints and finally yet another cpu rumor intel chips the new ones coming may finally on the consumer side have soldered IHS is maybe intel has finally bowed to the pressures it would it be bowed or bowed I look who I'm asking forget it probably okay alright so why don't we jump into our first topic here Dennis is Hitler poster oh that okay why did you have a poster of Hitler on the wall behind you so when I interviewed you for a job I did not I didn't remember it I have that own on my wall and that is as a reference about something that the political issue that we had back then in Taiwan didn't actually mean about Hilary said if you have some Chinese catch on that but you just didn't understand hmm so I misunderstood your Hitler poster it's not I'm twits check this did nothing wrong yeah that I know I'm not saying Dennis did nothing wrong but and let's get let's get those let's get that chopped out so we can take that out of context right I'm not saying Dennis did nothing wrong it's just that Dennis had a poster of Hitler on the wall behind him during a job interview that was a mistake by the poster didn't mean it was it was like being against this guy it's like no no right but you have a symbol I know but it didn't have a Simba it has Chinese but it has Chinese characters that mean now I wish I have a picture of it but I don't have a I would it's gone sorry gone I think my mom took we should totally do a new shirt Oh like a dentist did nothing wrong shirt with you we could just get some sharpie and give you a little muscle actually you know what we're not gonna do that as a general as a general rule Linus tech tips tries to stay pretty you know pretty PG friendly you know maybe not even yeah oh come on how much time have you spent on YouTube people are like I would buy a t-shirt no no no no no no no but have they seen that might the news shirt we saw it Oh TX ah wait is that listed online yet so so it's been said it's only sale we only saw them ot eggs seriously so we don't even have it don't online do you have one here so I go grab it you should go grab it we could totally do a variant of like the Dennis shirt oh man yeah that would be awesome this thing is like it's a it's a it's a it's a moving meme like once you put it on it's a wearable it's a completely wearable meme I actually had no I honestly I don't know about a lot of the shirt designs that they work on these days until they show up on the store or like add a meet-up apparently so there's there's a couple things in the store here that I'm just gonna I'm gonna pop up here I actually haven't tested my my screen cap to see if it's working yet oh it is cool so this one for example the troll line is shirt the name is real they were actually trolling me when they created it this one someone showed up at the meetup wearing this this was an a prime initiative absolutely horrible it is every bit as awful in person as it looks online and the way that it's printed is actually really nice like it looks crisp and then even like everything under the armpits the whole thing is printed with horrible thumbnail faces and then of course they created this mess go ahead yeah stand up oh my god this was supposed for a biro wheat we did and I don't know why they took it down Ida took it out from the I think s AIDS review or something really they took that out of the video it's very distasteful I don't I don't agree with you I think it's fine like so every time someone brought me one of these at the show I was going out of my way I know I saw so any you something it you like drawn my oh my I in mustache yeah so I was defacing all of the Dennis shirts whenever a head time like if there were like 30 people in front of you see there's a lot of time but oh yes there was whoa was there one where I like didn't I color in you're an entire eye patch on your yes that's no that one took so long but I was like you know what this is 100% worth it yeah so this shirts not available online yet Loie no not yet oh okay are we gonna put it online I don't know maybe maybe not maybe I don't know I mean honestly I think it's kind of fun to have like exclusive merch that's only available at something like a meet-up I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing actually we should have we even when was LTX last Sunday I mean times a blur for me it hasn't we haven't done a way and show since IX that started how was it what did you think oh it was crazy I think I think we have more people this year right uh Oh quite a few more we had over 1,100 people some just almost 1200 people show up this is a lot okay so most of the people most people I met they are not from Canada like mostly mostly from the state Australia UK they're from everywhere okay there's I have a confession yeah hold that thought that stresses me out a lot so the night before I was actually having like a panic attack a little bit and honestly like everything was fine I actually apologized to Colton and staff afterward for freaking out but it got to the point where I actually asked them okay how much are we in this for and they gave me a total number it was more than ten thousand but less than a hundred and so I was like and my initiative et8 response was and I felt so bad for saying this I was like okay then so worst case scenario were out however many thousands of dollars it was and we just refund everyone and they were like what did you just say because basically I was so worried about a few things that I was like I was i I thought I thought we were gonna be tannic on to point O and and this was just me freaking out because and then and then like I it didn't even make me feel better for longer than like two seconds because what I realized based on how huge the international audience was the last time that a lot of people were gonna be in this for hundreds or maybe even over a thousand dollars to come attend so that was actually where the idea came from to allow decoration of my car yeah that's right beef this guy this guy right here I ruined your car actually that was for me last on the way like we drove back from LAX midnight at midnight and we trying to figure out more things to do yeah and I thought I didn't know they would do that much though I thought just like outside and they so everything in the in your car so initially we were thinking spray bombs and that would have been way worse that would have been a disaster what I think we should have done was just Sharpie markers no I think what you should have done is just lock your doors and oh no I was okay with the morning yeah well so my seat belt doesn't work right now oh oh Michael yeah it was working before but this driver yeah the driver's side doesn't work it's like jammed or something I actually you understand your drive yeah so so and so so anyway I was just having this panic attack because I was freaking out anyway I apologize to them later because honestly the event was a lot of fun and I let you finish your thought now I'm sorry Dennis I don't okay so there are a lot of people fly flying from everywhere hands and there's even like someone might just arrived from from China and bring his luggage and his mom to the event like 2 o'clock yeah yeah I have to help them to like store the luggage so even thing like we might need a locker for them next year wow that's crazy like 1012 hours flight anyway yes no we do not plan to offer refunds because we consider the event a success now it was fun we actually got a ton of really positive user feedback in fact mark has tweeted about how he really was wasn't happy with average article that was about another youtuber convention that was poorly organized in a disaster and he kind of goes Oh where's the positive headline for LTX I've heard nothing but positive things and that's cool because a lot of the time people will say something positive to your face like if I walk up to someone I'm like hey how are you enjoying LTX it's like when the waiter comes to your table like if your food sucks do you ever say yeah this food is trash I'm not getting a tip today like some I suck depends what if it's just like on the low side of mediocre if they come along how how's everything goes with your meal so it's okay yeah okay so there that's not that's not useful so so if I so if I walk up to someone I'm like hey how's the house the house LTX and people like oh yeah it's good I have no way if they're just like shy and they think it's good or if they're like kind of unhappy and they're like oh yeah that's good because I don't know I'm meeting all these people for the first time I can't really I can't really read them so so it's way more important to us to hear what other people say now I actually haven't done it yet I need to set aside an hour for myself and Jay made a video Barna Cleese made a video and Steve from gamers Nexus oh yeah he did a really unusual video did you check it I haven't seen any of so I only skimmed a little bit of it so far so I haven't taken away all of my thoughts from it yet but Steve use the opportunity of coming up here for LTX to enjoy my city my hometown he went up to the to the bike trails up on Whistler and he did some downhill biking I saw that and recorded his thoughts on LTX while just like cruising down the trails I thought that was really cool that's a really unusual thing for him to do and he even said he apologizes for making the video right in the description yeah because he just wasn't sure people were gonna like it um I saw that here let's check this out reviewing Linus tech tips is LTX while downhill biking at Whistler here what's he say we'll be posting more serious content from the event later including an interview oh no I think he took down the apology oh no there it is no opponent was caught he pinned his own comment hey all obviously normal content for us we've had non-stop travel for a few months we hope you'll excuse this one off different content peace for now I thought it was I thought it was really cool to see people come up here experience something different and engage with the community and do something different not just make normal convention content because we're not trying to be clumpy tanks or sea yes it's supposed to be it's supposed to fill a gap and honestly this year even though our attendance only went from about 800 to about 1200 so it's like a 50% uptake which is a success yeah but it's still not huge it's not like we're packs all of a sudden I think the difference in creator attendance is what is the difference between LTX 2017 being like a Linus tech tips fan meetup and LTX 2018 being a more impactful industry event the fact that you've got guys like Jay and Steve and Lewis Rossman was there for a little while and Barnacle is showing up and having a good time Barna Cleese emailed me after the fact and said that he had a really hard time making a vlog there yeah and the reason was that he was spending so much of his time interacting with fans and oh yeah and all three Steve I haven't actually talked to Luis yet but Steve Brawner Cleese and and Jay all talked to me and said they were surprised at how many people there were fans of their channels because they kind of came into it like they came into it to support us like we asked them really nicely to come they weren't paid to attend or anything the most the most we were able to offer was like look LTX is not a super profitable event and it's still not but we'd love to pay for your hotel and your flight if you if you can come up and be part of this for us and not just for us for the community and they decided to do it and they came up and they were like yeah I was surprised at how many people here were here for me and I was like is so cool so so that's where LTX turns a corner and becomes not just about us but also about other people and other creators that can be there there was one other one that I was really hoping would be there but he got pulled aside for for a separate thing anyway all three of them have expressed interest I'm not going to commit anything on their behalf but all three of them have expressed interest in coming back they're coming back next year which is super amazing and cool because Vancouver has like nothing for tech events we've got like SIGGRAPH which I know very like animation industry like computer design industry like it's not it's not consumer yeah so I'm excited I'm really looking forward to next year already me too but then the night before I'm probably gonna be like yeah I tell everything will be fine I know no people like make you so much effort to this and I know you stress out but maybe do your car again I buy a new kind let's do that again or you know what fire helicopter or something I do I do have to say though I I think an event really needs something impactful something truly memorable something really different LTX 2017 had the first first ever thread ripper running we had someone game on thread Ripper for the first time there that was really cool okay LTX 2018 had the car yeah nobody who tagged that car is ever gonna forget that yeah so even though my car is destroyed 100% worth it I would destroy my car for the community mind you my car is only worth a couple hundred dollars literally asked how much when I went to buy my minivan that was a trade in favor they offered like two or three hundred dollars or something which is basically what you can get from like a recycler yeah and I was like I wouldn't take it if you want to give it for free really it Ron first lettuce that's a standard card oh don't know don't hate on standard and it is good stuff no the windshields like broken in leaking and all that well it doesn't leak anymore really did you fix it - traced the the leak and no yeah I think I think you're being a hater um Oh Cho Cho tak asks when can we expect more creators on floatplane so Luke's not here today as you guys may or may not have noticed because he is working on some floatplane stuff that's super important we've got some payments and reporting stuff that we've really got to get sorted out before we can move forward with some of the bigger plans and that's why it actually means a lot to us that Kyle and tech deals are over there and kind of helping us ride out these bugs now there are they are getting paid they have people subscribing to them and like things are working but we're not ready to take on like you know a huge creator like if PewDiePie came to us tomorrow and was like I want it on this floatplane thing I would have to turn them away I'd have to I'd have no choice just because we're not ready yet the actual CDN architecture is really good and that's what we've spent a lot of our time on so you don't get to see a lot of a lot of the actual engineering that has gone on to make it really strong and sustainable we could scale it up actually very quickly but some of the other stuff reporting the payments need some tweaking we actually had an issue where some people were some people are having payment issues and their support tickets were going to spam and they weren't ending up in our in our management system and so I had to send us some very apologetic emails I felt really really bad about that but some like where that's why we don't want a million users overnight all right so did we do like a news topic or something I guess yeah yeah yeah I mean it's pretty flexible like we don't have to do matter we just talk about something because I don't really know any of this you want me to talk about something you can do okay um okay hold on um oh that flip phone wait we got a flip phone no no okay that's the same solved you're drunk you're drunk Wow okay oh man okay you know what we're gonna do this topic anyway their channel article is from TechCrunch let's go ahead and pop line this is screen up here Disney streaming services resurrecting the Clone Wars and I was like oh yeah I'll get Dennis to do this everyone knows Star oh god Star Wars again we just talked about in titling Star Wars a culturally relevant I don't watch Star Wars why because I just don't like fakes that like efficient I mean like you don't like what efficient efficient fiction fiction you don't like fiction I don't and I don't like long movies well this is a TV show but oh that was some of the Star Wars movies are on the long side so what movies do you like I like actually mmm-hmm I like TV show I like the office you like the office oh the best okay so Star Wars there's nothing ideal no no no I can't be do you like superhero movies i watch and then last week yeah is it school okay I mean I'm not like a big fan of heroes not a big fan of heroes okay so you don't like heroes okay that you don't like anymore boy it was fun to watch okay so you like kind of an irreverent sort of dark humor yes okay okay Star Wars doesn't have a lot of that yeah also I don't like low up ring you don't like Lord of the Rings um you know what I'm not even gonna give you too hard at a time for that I mean okay are you talking Lord of the Rings trilogy or like The Hobbit I don't know what you're talking about that movie what are you're talking about the movies the movies they're both movies okay I don't know just how about ball I want to know as I fall asleep I just you fell asleep you know during which one you don't even know Oh okay we're there hobbits I'm just copy that's not helpful there and all of them I don't know would you do you like Monty Python why is that you don't know Monty Python you know what I'm gonna give you some I'm gonna give you some some TV homework okay okay because I want to understand what makes you tick are you familiar with life's too short I think okay I think I've been trapped with the office for too long because I've been watching that show like for almost two years I just re watching you're watching and I'm just a digger to it really so I just can't get out of it okay I need to try to okay I'm gonna get you something new and you will like it okay if you like the I like that kind of humor okay do you like the American office or the British off American America I don't get British humor okay oh oh you got okay no I don't okay do you have a hard time understanding the accent oh yes that too oh crap yeah yeah I'm Mary Kay you only understand American well then it's it's a wonder that you manage to hang around with me because I don't speak American well I know what same thing I know what I mean how does I do I can't tell with you is this a shot at me for saying that Taiwanese and Chinese I think with I guess you kind of owed me one like in fairness to you you owed me one yo I can't tell seriously I cannot tell your accent or someone from UK like me or John I can care that okay that's very you know cuz West Coast like Pacific West Coast or specific Northwest especially sorry I'm not Pacific West Coast it's all Pacific if it's West Coast Pacific Northwest like anyone from Oregon through to Washington up like through BC like along the west coast we all sound the same okay yeah but can you tell them no okay oh no like I could meet someone from from Washington State or from Oregon I'd have no idea that they're all really know whereas like eastern Canadian or like southern US eastern US there you can pick it up like pretty trouble uh Toronto I don't notice much no not really like like the metropolitan area is not not too much okay um alright so let's go ahead and talk about this Clone Wars thing so this is unfortunate Luke's not here on the show today because he will either be amped about this or he won't because I know that he really liked the original series and was super mad at sort of what Disney's been doing with some aspects of animated Star Wars so around on Cartoon Network for five seasons is coming back it was the adventures of Anakin and obi-wan as well as some new characters during the clone war fans praised its ability to showcase a wide range of stories characters and even genres and it was cancelled after Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm with a final batch of episodes known as the lost missions airing on Netflix ah characters of three elements were subsequently incorporated into the animated series Star Wars rebels which is more kiddie and even into the latest film solo ok fortunately that's not as but I still haven't seen solo fortunately that's not a spoiler for me though because I never watched the Clone Wars so yesterday they announced that Clone Wars will return for twelve more episodes and it will air on Disney's upcoming streaming service and they appear to be the end of the Clone Wars story so all they're doing is kind of closing it out and they are treating this as a way to get people onto their streaming service as a general consumer and not necessarily the techy aspersion of all time how do you feel about the concept of having to subscribe to multiple streaming services to access different shows so you know how gaming used to all be on Steam oh yeah yeah and then all of a sudden we had EA origin oh I actually don't like and then we had Ubisoft you play and now we've got Epic Games long I know I know yeah battle.net Game one I like to keep it simple so would you simply issue a new streaming service in favor of simplicity and just go no I'm only going to subscribe to one thing if you want me to watch it that dad make sure it's on let's say Netflix for example yeah like if there's another service I'd like Netflix mm-hmm I would Mindy project this second season know that I don't remember it was on Hulu before yeah only on Hulu yeah so so you just I wouldn't pay to what I worked only on Netflix I'm not gonna pay for it depends on how much about this show though the office is that gone on Netflix I will subscribe to Hulu would you unsubscribe from Netflix is the anchor show the most important thing to you this is oh this is interesting okay I don't know if that if that platform has like really other good shows as well I would stop Netflix really then I will follow that one okay interesting so oh yeah Jake's gonna have to come get it ah all right so anyway Disney man it's probably gonna be successful but I'm I'm really frustrated because part of the entire beauty of cable cutting was that you could get rid of that you know at least here anyway you know 72 over $100 monthly fee that you were paying and you could replace it entirely with your internet Plus maybe like if you get a basic Netflix subscription or think of it like $7.99 if you don't get 4k night I don't know anymore I've got that I've got the 4k one which i think is 13 oh yeah I only have 4k TV yeah so what's up that oh I'm leaning back that's the problem I can I can stop doing that I'm sorry so that was the beauty of it was that you could get all of your content and your internet for for one low price instead of having to get Internet and content but now with more and more content providers working on building streaming platforms there's nothing we're gonna be able to do if we want to have access to an all-you-can-eat style of content consumption there's nothing we're going to be able to do to avoid the the rates starting to creep up like all of a sudden you're going to be subscribed to Netflix and Hulu and Disney and you know Comcast Oh what's what's that thing that the vessel team laughed and went I mean for that matter floatplane you might subscribe to individual creators what's that no not crave that's a local thing I think oh I can't I can't remember it was like something that I couldn't figure out why anyone would care about Verizon's streaming service but there's so many I think who doesn't work in Canada that's Oh apparently they killed it in May oh the Verizon TV streaming service is probably oh wow oh wow these articles are brutal holy crap here hold on I'll screen share with you guys so you can read along with me here so this one is probably not gonna happen this one's not too bad Verizon is finally putting it's terrible streaming service out to pasture says BG are calm no one even seems to know what it was gonna indie go 90 it made multi-billion dollar takeovers of AOL and Yahoo brands known for providing email scams to seniors and leaking billions of customer accounts wow this is a very this is a very colored account of things and now go ninety it's public and very expensive millennial friendly online streaming service I think the key to creating something that doesn't appeal to Millennials isn't trying to target Millennials like what does that even mean what is a millennial oriented streaming service well you're technically a millennial one last note would okay so Millennials I forget what exactly the Millennial age here so it's a it's a generation so anyone born between 1981 and 1900 at the outer I'm at the older end and you're I'm still solidly in there so what would what would appeal to you as a millennial what appeal can I do like what exactly exactly to me money money forget I don't I don't know you're a marketing executive okay you have to market to Millennials oh my god like something like fun that's fine you're not a marketing executive okay but speaking

basically wrote the same thing in ads those defense what he wrote originally wasn't actually that racist and was mostly factual so this is IDI writing something I think I saw a video were writing it

that they reached out to me but actually I never heard from them that would be interesting maybe I don't want to promote these guys nine-to-five Mac iMac Linus let's see aa story of resent ill-informed youtuber oh no that's Apple Insider hold on a second iMac - broken let's see Apple Insider MacRumors ok no ok I don't I don't actually I don't actually see anything on nine-to-five back ok cool nice guys 9 to 5 Mac here's how it throttles with Final Cut Pro X exports yeah so we actually did a stream of that today from my office where after seeing Dave Lee's video I was like ok well let's see how long it'll take us from packaged to thermal throttling with the MacBook Pro with the 2018 MacBook Pro we got the core I version so that's like a $7000 notebook that thermal throttles if you hit it with a really intense load basically immediately and then if you hit it with a less intense load after like a couple minutes it's pretty brutal and it's something that I'm starting to not like wonder if Apple is doing on purpose but it's something that I'm starting to get really frustrated that Apple is doing on purpose so the original MacBook you guys may or may not remember this but we did a video where we water-cooled it that was a passively cooled machine if I recall correctly it's been a while but we water-cooled it by basically taking the entire machine putting some like putty in the screw holes and then like putting it in a tray of water that wasn't so deep that it would come up and go into the ports or into the keyboard and we were able to get something to the tune of nearly double the performance out of it but that was supposed to be a thin inlaid it was supposed to be a computer with unprecedented like unprecedented like portability that was that was the whole point of it and so this is a pretty different type so so basically we accepted it but now they're doing this with professional machines like the iMac Pro that thermal throttles like crazy and we opened it up we saw the thermal solution it was very clearly not going to handle a vago graphics card and you know up to an 18 core processor Apple ships that thing with up to an 18 core processor and then now this MacBook Pro where they went and without making significant changes to the thermal solution which already had a hard time with the core i7 that was in it before then when they put two more computing cores in it they wouldn't they put a core I nine in it so your performance actually isn't any better but Apple's charging you more for it and on paper it seems to be faster so it's gotten to the point now where it looks not like bad design but it looks like intentional deception like if you bought a car okay that was 600 horsepower instead of 400 horsepower yes horsepower is not the be-all and end-all of carb speed we know but if you bought a car that was six hundred and step four hundred horsepower but there was some other component inside it that limited it so that both of them delivered 350 how mad would you be or if you paid for the extra package and why do they sell we done why do we explain this from Apple I like you make it like easy for the others then why trying to say yeah now I get it cuz I I couldn't anything you need to do ours was throttling well under its base clock even just doing things like exporting and final cut very frustrating so I don't know I just it so they have something to limit their something well the problem is that if you hit it with a really hard load the CPU reaches 100 degrees basically instantly Oh and so it'll it'll turn itself down to protect itself that's that's safety mechanism that intel has built into the chip because otherwise I mean if you just let it get as hot as it wants you could you could cook on it and it would it would burn itself out very quickly Oh people are like Linus you aren't supposed to encode on a laptop uh why Stan's wearing two classes I'm also wearing two shirts yeah yeah it's really hot that's fine okay this is actually how I wear my sunglasses oh really I just put them over and really the other I lost my the one with Chris prescription what's wrong you can't retail if this is yes you can can yes sunglass hand telly that's the only the same shape I'm seriously that I do that every day and no one look at me like weird ever I maybe you just can't tell the difference between having a look at you and how they look at you when you're wearing two pairs of sunglasses maybe the shirt was already enough that they were gonna be looking at you whatever way they oh man okay in other news in an internal document distributed to Apple Authorized service there's Apple has confirmed the third-generation keyboard on the 2018 MacBook Pro is equipped with a membrane to quote prevent debris from entering the butterfly mechanism so publicly Apple has only said that it features an improved third-generation keyboard for quieter typing but some people suspected that the silicon membrane was actually to prevent crumbs from getting into it and ruining it this is another thing that's very frustrating about Apple that they can't just communicate openly with their audience like we make mistakes and most of the time people are actually pretty cool mm-hmm like if you're like hey we screwed up sorry people will be like cool just please don't do that again maybe the idea is that Apple doesn't want to have that conversation because if people say don't do that again and they have they're already like the and the channels of communication are open then they have to commit not to do it again and they don't want to is that is that the issue here I don't know very frustrating in other news rise of the 3000 series might have more than eight cores so I guess this wouldn't be that huge of a surprise I mean a big key of the design of Andes Zen architecture there Rison processors was the modular design that allows them to kind of to use mm-hmm Intel's terminology just glue processors together so if they wanted to have if they wanted to take thread Ripper let's say from 16 cores last generation to up to 32 cores this generation all they'd have to do is glue together some CCX modules so MSI has dropped a hint that AMD might be countering Intel's rumored eight core 11:51 processor with a 12 core processor so mainstream mainstream computers are all of a sudden like heavily heavily multi-core or at least if these rumors are true that will be true in the near future I'm personally excited to see the next couple of years as these trickle down to the actual mainstream and we get to start experiencing programs that were built from the ground up for a very Elte threaded world what else is cool um w DS shutting down one of their hard drive factories now to be clear it's not like there it's not like this is their only Factory and it's not like hard drives are going like the one in Malaysia yeah same technique so they're just they're just shutting down some of their hard drive manufacturing I mean hard drives are becoming less of a consumer product and they're becoming more of an enterprise product that's just the transition that's happening or or prosumer like we still have more hard drives in the building than we do SSDs fun fact do you know that I don't know but the reason you don't know that is that none of them are in your computer Oh your laptop runs an SSD up your desktop runs an SSD I don't even have a hard drive but we could never run anywhere near the kind of operation that we do if we didn't have some hard drives because the cost to capacity ratio for hard drives is still much better than solid-state drives so if you have any kind of bulk data needs you're gonna need hard drives for a long time according server Oh according announced Gorilla Glass six yes that's what you need - that's fun that's why you need look look look why you need it you know what's funny is I've actually broken very few screens in my day but I finally broke my iPhone 6 like two nights ago oh yeah I was I was listening to something in the bathroom and I like was grabbing a towel or something and I kind of dropped it a bit and then when I went to catch it I ended up like pushing it with the towel or something instead of actually catching it I thought you're gonna effectively threw it at the floor gone like it was it was propelled towards the floor or face down boom screen cracked it's funny unless I dropped my phone so many time this is si it's got a grip on it though Oh sometimes you have it oh yeah I guess you didn't okay so like neither scratch I don't have any protection like it's just so strong I don't know why so Gorilla Glass 6 will apparently survive up to 15 drops from 1 meter height and can be up to 2 times better than Gorilla Glass 5 now with that said Gorilla Glass 5 wasn't known for being the most impact resistant or was no that one wasn't very scratch resistant it was impact resistant so it should survive drops from higher heights but more importantly has been engineered to survive multiple drops and it should have the same amount of scratch resistance as previous generations it's in production now and is available to smartphone makers so it's expected to reach the market in the next several months oh how much would I love it if the rumored upcoming note device had Gorilla Glass 6 that would be super excite I think that's pretty much it everything else in here Walmart might launch a video streaming service oh oh boy a more video streaming services they're thinking of a service priced below $8 a month because Netflix has been steadily raising their prices which are not dominate in 14 Amazon charges 9 they may also consider a no-cost ad-supported service and they already own Vudu I did not know that a service for buying and renting movies and Vudu launched its own ad supported streaming service movies on us a few years ago which I have never heard of which should be which should give you some idea of how well movies on us is doing and that's it thank you for tuning in to the wine show Thank You Dennis for joining me on the LAN show and we will see you guys again next week wow that's so fast same bat-time same bat-channel just remember they can hear you right now they can't so yes they can unless sing a song no they can
