Gadgetory

it's where joe tahe i'm actually excited for a wine show today are you yeah why because as soon as I'm done Rancho oh wait no nevermind I thought as soon as I was done land show we were gonna be going out for fun but actually as soon as I'm done when show I need to shoot the other half of the video so oh wow that OH gonna be a great week everyone we have really awesome news first topic I started out up here if you want a topic that starts on a confusing note instead of a high or low yeah I've got Walmart is making gaming pcs yeah I'm not just like they're selling gaming pcs from iBUYPOWER Lake no these are Walmart gaming towers well like they don't look that horrible Apple quietly added Radeon Vega GPU options to the MacBook Pro that is pretty sick I have no idea how that's going to affect the thermals trusted reviews pays 1 million pounds yeah after Red Dead Redemption 2 leaks so this is really confusing to me and I'm going to so yeah well we'll have to do that go over that later know what that's gonna be what we're calling an interactive topic segment yeah yeah I'm creating branding for it I like you that's where Luke and I have no idea what the crap is going on yeah so we're gonna be really relying on you the viewer to kind of walk us through so I'm gonna start with what I think is going we're changing the name win show hmm we probably should change the name of the land show because it's like not really analysis and news it's more like weekly judgment to news weekly shooting the breeze and there's not a lot of news anymore so do some technically yeah there's some but it's like usually just like about our lives ah finally Apple launches a vintage repair program for Macs and iPhones okay I've got one more news topic Before we jump into the intro here and that is that the Galaxy watch has quite possibly the worst activity tracker that I have ever encountered almost every single time I walk down the stairs I get a little buzz on my wrist well done great workout no no I was going down the stairs and it was still was telling me what a good job I was doing right now I'm sitting here like this yes I'm waving my arms around him maybe that's how I don't get that you're just so animated talking with my hands talking with your hands it's gonna be the new workout sensation and on that note bye leave at night don't touch it I like my car the flame regarding I don't know I don't have the thing up right now so I can't even tell what you're changing yeah it does look a little bit all right take the word all right now it's off the white line thing what are you even and like that the white line thing isn't centered either and that's bad you know what just should be yeah he didn't move the camera he didn't move the camera it's fine who cares let's just it's right I mean it's when show what are people's expectations of this at this point like peaking about questionable expectations Walmart gaming people all Mart gaming pcs okay so with the plum here we go Walmart has partnered with eSports Arena to create its go ahead please Opie line of pre-built gaming desktops also very definitely overpowered that's what that's what that means it means overpowered really like okay I'm not even trying to who was the marketing executive that was like I don't think it's a bed really that's the it's the decent you know the Opie DTW one okay that's bad that is terrible I didn't know that part or the Opie DTW too that's another model if it was like just op1 and Opie - that could be okay yeah but it sounds more like a model name unless like a brand the overpowered or Opie line of and they had desktops and laptops here but is this gonna be like like the like g-force before the other thing you know what I mean I don't think it's that bad I mean I guess there's they're certainly worse there's that like I guess in light I had gained in light of some of the not even just that in light of some of the general naming that's happened recently I'm coming around I'm coming around what's that new isn't it a Samsung phone I'm coming around to it ah yeah wear it like goes backwards yeah a stupid thing something weird like that I don't all right all right all right all right all right okay all right I've come I've come around to it I mean honestly it's a lot less cringy than Republic of gamers which we only accept because it's been around for so long and everyone ever tries as hard as they can to make sure they can throw the abbreviation in instead of the full name ROG is like pretty cool ROG sounds fine yeah Republic of gamers which was what they were it's it is remarkable to me what asus has done with the Republic of gamers brand because the first product that launched under it was awful I'm serious our army wasn't it was the Stryker extreme it was an N Force 680 chipset motherboard oh if I recall correctly was it 680 you know don't quote me on that I thought I think it's 680 but don't don't quote me on that anyway it was the Stryker extreme no remember of the chips that was and our arm a raid on that at NCIX was like 40% yeah and it was like a 450 or $500 motherboard or something stupid like that I can I can bring it yeah I should I should bring up the picture so Stryker extreme there we go screen share with you guys here look at this look at this tweak town tweak town review not one star one star this board was that bad well yeah it was and for 680 is Li yeah and it just I don't know what memory it did work with because you could put random memory in it you could put generic memory in it you could put high-end memory in it you could put sli certified memory that was good and the idea was that it was certified for NVIDIA chips you could put anything in this board and then you could roll a die pray to whatever gods it is that you believe in and turn around six times in a circle and you know go like this and none of it would affect anything it might work it might not it was an awful awful motherboard but they've they've they've really turned they've really turned that around they really took that around good for them good for them good for gamers anyway back to the Opie line of gaming desktops from Walmart the d2w one is the entry-level model with a core i7 8700 16 gigs of memory and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 256 gigs of solid-state storage and a 2 terabyte hard drive for $13.99 that's actually not that bad yeah honestly that was my first thought when I looked at this was like oh that's oh should we review it yeah I was kind of asking them but sure yes should we review it yeah yeah cuz I might gaming I would be very interested as a consumer yeah because it seems like a decent price whatever whatever sure but my like techy consumer brain is like what memory is that what board is that what drive is that oh my god stuff from what I can tell Walmart has no experience no whatsoever so it seems like okay okay to me building a gaming computer is a pretty straightforward thing I could literally do it blindfolded yeah but there's people who haven't been living and breathing it for the last decade there's a lot that they can screw up the headers are complicated so I'm not like cable management and like you know little things like you know putting the drives in a cage that doesn't have a cooling fan next to it yeah so that it will run hotter and it's not gonna kill it immediately but it's just like little things you can do to optimize the system and I would want to see does Walmart have the gaming know how to do this correctly okay you know what we're gonna do it even if we have to drive down to the states we're gonna do it we're gonna buy a Walmart Opie gaming desktop yeah yeah okay that I would be very apparently they're making gaming laptops as well yeah but those are probably just rebranded clevis yeah I mean I'm assuming I haven't actually seen the picture I should make this a go but yeah Club is the parent company of them anyways or something omits sager not Sega it came out Sega yeah so yeah anyway not Sega cuz I'm very much expecting like they obviously are throwing in Nvidia cards and Intel CPUs I'm expecting the rest of it is just gonna be as cheap as possible yeah I'm pretty sure that these are close those look they look like the most generic looking chassis of all time yeah and I know clever does this goofy offset touchpad things like why there why what reason would you want would you have for wanting it they're actually really tried to think of one while we were sitting there but I can't so and then there's the there's the dt w1 w2 w3 and the main difference is just stepping up the graphics card brilli this has got a 1080 TI this is a 1080 and as a 1070 your gateway to elevate it's so weird scrolling through like gaming computers with a Walmart logo at the top of the page transcend your expectation what are those over power this is the laptop boxes yeah there's a box why would it be over Pawel and why is there a pufferfish here I mean the bomb I get and the helmet yeah the helmet I get this is this like to make sure you don't buy the like it's the entry-level one maybe game that gone looks like serious Sam it dies - wow yeah it really does this is actually kind of cheaply done yeah it really is you can tell that that was not very well thought out there over 125 premium brands from Lord and Taylor now well might not like it it's so weird Lord and Taylor and gaming pcs on the same page and you can always tell when like a company's not used to carrying a certain thing because it's under video games yeah sure alright anyway okay yeah easy conclusion we're gonna show you strong a chat with what like one to get what no whether or not they think it's gonna be a complete failure or not yeah for sure do you want to get that yeah all right I'm gonna jump on to you know what I'll do a couple super chats before we before we move on there all right I can never tell what order they're in okay we've got Chris hi Chris we've got Stefan hi Stefan we've got arrow did you know there's a body pillow with you on it woah what ah no that's okay hold on a second we might be veering off topic a little bit here go ahead and get that just cow cud you want a discipline okay I guess John Poole coming is there just a company that makes custom body pillows I'm sure there is ah no I don't see it wait need portrait image of Linus for hug pillow senpai tek-tips straw polls coming in the chat guys okay so all I found so far is a picture of me with a body pillow not the same which is not the same thing you're so obsessed with that channel I'm surprised you don't have a Linus hug pillow when is this from this is from 2014 which is good because of that so that's been changed by now so that's good um okay yeah no no no I don't I don't think that's a theremin seen one I don't think that's the thing I think someone would have tweeted that at me by now if that was if that was a thing that actually existed um yeah it's more like rant show i if this is not a rant show we very rarely spend the entire show ranting yeah let's rant about that um did you hear about hashtag Wall Street Journal kills kids on Twitter what no I actually stayed shockingly far away from from Twitter and like whatever is trending on Twitter all right what else we got here what happens when you drop a can of water on a PC asks Chris it dies a hi Nicole Dorf says I've been watching you for years and took my girlfriend pointing it out to realize it you look like a Keebler Elf Thank You Dorf okay moving on then Brendon offset just as cracks laughing what's a Keebler Elf like do you get the reference Oh what-what can you come explained on stream for those for the idiots in the audience like me you don't know what it is you'll bring you'll show me a photo well though here I mean I can Google a photo alright let's find out what a Keebler office you can just send my screen ok ok so they're like the guys from like the rudolph holiday special then like is that a Keebler oh wait no cute no I think he was a brand Oh snap crackle and pop there's three guys from Rice Krispies okay oh boy I feel like we've gone off the rails a little bit here do you want to send me the or actually do have the results of the straw poll up all right let's get that straw poll going here results wow that's actually quite a bit of confidence in my opinion Walmart PC complete failure we are almost exactly evenly split on this I can't even believe that the community is never so evenly divided on an issue fifty-one percent of you are saying yes Walmart PC complete failure forty nine percent saying no okay let's get that's actually let's get back to that for a minute so I want to know what you think I don't think it will be why hardware a long time ago if you bought a jump bunch of cheap stuff you're probably gonna be screwed Hardware today is actually generally quite stable okay and I think relies a little bit more on fewer components if that makes sense so I think they'll be able to get by cheaping out on a few different things okay all right what do you think based on that their pricing makes sense yeah and that the configs make sense the fact that they went with the 87 yeah if that was different I also read that if I was different I would have maybe had less confidence I probably wouldn't have put 32 gigs in the dtw - that's the one thing that I might have changed here because you can always upgrade RAM you can never unbraid Ram Walmart's probably gonna assume that you're not going to if you're buying computer from Walmart that's fair and 6/6 course 12 threads I think they're two gigs on that system probably fair using it as both a gaming rig and a budget work state okay all right all right all right I'm sold I'm sold so based on the fact that they've clearly done some research here I'm actually in the not fail camp as well so we are gonna see who ends up being right about interesting yeah I don't necessarily think it's gonna be like a home run or anything but I don't think it's gonna be a complete failure in other news Apple quietly adds Radeon Vega GPU option a begger GPU option to their MacBook Pro and we've got a link to ARS technica here so I guess we're gonna go ahead with that but what also might have been nice to just have a link to apple.com and thunderbolt recruit max can make use of a new black magic ee GPU Pro I actually don't know what would make it an e GPU Pro so Apple claims and a GPUs will provide up to what 60% better graphical performance yeah that makes sense but that's probably a very strong up to because from our experience with the MacBook Pro unless they are making some significant changes to the cooling system which I sincerely doubt that they did it is running at within a hair's breadth of its total limit for how fast it can go before it experiences catastrophic thermal throttling so like if you're running both the CPU and the GPU hard at the same time I just have a really hard time imagining how they aren't both gonna end up throttling yeah but in a best-case scenario like for example if you were gaming and the game you were playing only used a couple of CPU threads I could see this being a very significant performance upgrade blackmagic also has their new e GPU Pro which will have a Radeon rx Vega 56 graphics processor okay it's just like a pre done external GPU okay yeah I wasn't that familiar with black magics thing because I couldn't really figure out any reason that anyone would buy it because you could just buy any EGP you because Thunderbolt 3 is a standard and you could just plug it in that is to say as long as it has a new enough Thunderbolt 3 chipset so I don't think Alpine Ridge works titin Ridge should be fine don't don't quote me on that though I can't keep track of like the code names for the different Thunderbolt 3 chipsets and this alive so I don't have time to look things up alright um huh apparently people are linking the body the body pillow and discord but like because I'm assuming our bought blocks out links oh yeah make sense I'm not signed in well we can cross that bridge when we get to it yeah uh alright what else do we got here oh boy this again Apple slows down last year's iPhones with iOS 12.1 I mean there was a whole thing where iOS 12 was actually giving people with older phones significantly better performance like a lot of people were giving Apple really positive feedback about iOS 12 it looks like they've taken all that positive feedback and mm put it in a fire so with iOS 12.1 Apple has brought its controversial performance management feature to the iPhone 8 8 + & 10 so this functionality throttles the phone's processor as its battery degrades over time and it can stop the handset from randomly shutting down which is good but it can also cause its performance to degrade which is less good the good counterpoint to that last point is that it can be turned off if desired now I have an easy solution to this problem how about Apple puts bigger batteries in their phones in the first place if they care about the user experience I actually was okay and again I haven't done the background research on this I haven't done my car review yet so I'd still have some digging to do but I was impressed to hear when I walked on to the lot and I told this was at a Chevy dealership I told them I was already planning to buy their car and I told them my reasoning the reason that I wanted the Chevy Volt was because the electric range was advertised such that even when I factored in five years of lithium cell aging and cold weather I would still get the desired range which about 45 kilometers and they were like oh it's that's not actually how it works we only discharge the battery down to about 30% and we only charge it up to about 80% like when it rolls off the lot and so you're actually only using about half of the capacity of the battery from day one and then over time as the cells degrade it will expose more of it so that and I forget what the period of time it was it was either five or ten years or whatever it was over the period of time that you use the car there should be no noticeable difference in the user experience and so on the Android side of things what they do is they just stuff gigantic batteries in the phones as big as they can you look at something like the oneplus 60 that's actually a really slim device and it's got a thirty seven hundred million power battery yeah and they give you all of it and then it just degrades over time I can get behind that particular approach I like obviously the ideal one would be you have extra you build in spare area so that the users experience is always consistent but when you're gonna have competitors that are exposing all the battery capacity you have to be able to go toe-to-toe with them in review so I understand why you can't really do that I'm also more okay with the fully exposed battery on a phone and I'm more okay with the Anopheles both battery on a car you know what I mean yeah it's like a phone if you're gonna be cycling it out a car you're probably gonna keep for a longer period of time yep and resale and all that kind of stuff and then Apple's approach is in order to preserve battery life and make sure the device doesn't turn off it is to throttle the performance I'm kind of surprised they're sticking with this like I get that if this was the plan all along to roll this out for the iPhone 8 the eight plus and the ten that by the time this whole thing blew up in their face it was probably too late to set a different course like in order to keep these phones from turning off because they were so close to like the bleeding edge where they were gonna potentially draw too much power once they were down to a low percentage of battery life left they were just gonna like turn off like if that was if that was the plan there's nothing that they can do to undo that and other than just change the amount of battery life that is exposed to the user so that they all would appreciate more controversial becomes zero percent to make sure that it won't just turn off and I'd be more mad about that personally oh well I think most people would be yeah yeah but I would like to see if maybe they change this strategy moving forward whether that be I don't know I don't even know what they would do do they try and get more power-efficient on the processor and worry less about delivering more performance because that would work well you can turn it off right you can turn the feature off yes you know here's the thing um my aunt needs a new phone did I talk about this um when she last week don't think so okay so my aunt needs a new phone and I feel like it's really easy sometimes for people like us and people like our viewers who I'm generalizing but probably in a way that's pretty accurate are among the more tech-savvy people in their social circles right so what Apple's doing is annoying to us and it feels wrong to us but you got to remember that Apple is not like some enthusiasts brand they're not one plus they're not ROG or whatever the case may be we can't make assumptions about the amount of research and self education that the user of an Apple product has done before they purchase it yeah and so I had this sort of enlightening experience where my aunt is upgrading her phone and I'm kind of I was trying to talk to her about Android because right now she's got an iPhone 5c and it is definitely time for something new okay and she's like oh I don't know what that is I'm just gonna go get an iPhone I'm kind of like okay look it's the same as an iPhone she goes it's the same as an iPhone it's an iPhone I go no it's not an iPhone and she goes oh how is it the same and I go look what do you do with your phone and she goes I answer calls I go okay Android is the same and I pick up an Android phone I think it was a note five or something because I'm trying I'm trying to save her a buck cuz she's gonna walk into like a Bell store or Roger starting she's on Roger she's gonna walk into a Roger store they're gonna sell her an iPhone 10s Max or whatever and it's it's stupid because literally that is all she does I know that for a fact she actually also sends text messages but that really is it like I try and I try to use pretty great I tried to explain Google Maps and like okay mom I love my aunt but holy cow sometimes like she kept bringing the CD player over to her house and look I have google play music I put a phone on the counter like it is dedicated to just google play music here's how it works you you unlock it and the pin is something very easy for her to remember and then you press music and then you just type in any song any album it's amazing you'd love it and then you press play and then there's one tricky part there's just one tricky part you have to press cast cast and select kitchen and living room yeah okay and I hadn't even gotten to cast yet and she's like okay hold on if I got to start writing this down I'm like no no you don't have to write it down because all you do is you just turn it on which i think is self-explanatory you press music which i think is pretty self-explanatory and the thing is is that she's not stupid it's just that this is not a part of her life not her wheelhouse and it never was no and so coming back to Apple and this particular strategy alright so I was showing her how to use the Android phone and look you just press the phone as a picture of a phone and then you just key in a number it's the same it's the same she was really really tired that day and she didn't want to deal with it so she just left but we're gonna we're gonna get we're gonna get there sure but the point is Apple's typical user is probably closer to my aunt than they are to me the one thing that I will drop in here is yeah Apple does have its own enthusiast it oak white a few for sure like a lot but I said typical user and I and they're yes and I think the enthusiast population is a sliver of a sliver of a sliver of a niche yeah they can't really exist but yeah yeah but they absolutely do I mean I would even go as far as to say that there are no fewer at mobile enthusiasts than there are Android mobile enthusiasts it would be incorrect to say that Android is the OS for mobile enthusiasts yeah wrong I just wanted to let us go down that road for a second so people hadn't freaked out in the comments or something of course you do and of course you are and that's fine yeah I'm not the point the point is that the typical user typically is it that's why I specifically call that oneplus not Android in general although they're going more mainstream they're in t-mobile now so the only weird literally thousands of stores worldwide worldwide excuse me uh nationwide in the US yeah that are going to be pushing the oneplus 60 mmm oh my god good for you guys that's cool anyway um so back to the typical user I suspect being either notice nor care in a lot of cases because you gotta remember even the the more normy users online are still probably more connected because like even people who don't care about smart functionality at all like who might not even have a data plan they're still buying smart phones these days because where are you gonna get a flip uh you can't get them you can get them but they're like kind of garbage yeah they're like actually disposable phones yeah in most cases so I was thinking the other day if I didn't if I didn't have the work that I currently have yeah because the vast majority of the time that I'm on my phone is for work you'd be a drug dealer how does this tie in to flip phones I honestly wouldn't use very much on the phone yeah and like I could actually pretty easily get by with the flip phone and maps I really like maps I'm having a really hard time with my pixel three Excel review because I don't typically use canned benchmarks to measure battery life because my usage is pretty consistent like the way that I use my phone except that a few days into my pixel 3 Excel review I kind of made an early New Year's resolution to stop consuming political news and probably a good 50 to 60% of my screen time was like political news for that so I ended the day yesterday with 82% on my pixel three XL battery because Google does a great job of idle battery management on the pixel lineup for sure yep I barely touch my phone like it's crazy over the last few years it used to be I couldn't go five minutes without getting a phone call or a text are you sure that's entirely because the political thing or is that because you don't like the experience so much that you're just using it less okay it's there's a little bit of me not liking the experience that much but I also definitely yeah because I know you did that I have cut down my consumption yeah should I forget where I was going before that's that's fine yeah someone in chat just said don't forget flips are used for tough environments yeah they've got some pretty rugged smartphones these days too though just throwing that out there yes all right so let's let's finish up here Apple's position is iPhone 8 in later use a more advanced don't you love that they don't call it the iPhone and iPhone it's iPhone like it's a person or something I'm not gonna do it the iPhone 8 and later use a more advanced hardware and software design that provides a more accurate estimation of both power needs and the battery's power capability to maximize overall system performance this allows a different performance management system that more precisely allows iOS to anticipate and avoid an unexpected shutdown as a result the impacts of performance management may be less noticeable on iPhone the iPhone 8 and later so I'm gonna chat said Casey Mac in the YouTube chat I'm trying to pay a little bit of attention to both I said I can't believe Linus covered an iPhone that's a very confusing statement yeah I've been doing iPhone reviews for literally years yeah four years or something even iMac and MacBook yep an iPad yep and I have even given some very positive iPhone reviews yeah they just don't come out oh right yeah there's that it mean it's once a year and we don't like we don't like hang on and do like iPhone video after iPhone video yeah we've kind of cover it at launch and then we consider that sort of good enough yeah I'm just like I mean basically any other product but like I mean we're not like an iPhone review channel which is sort of a thing I don't know this this has been a very frustrating thing for me over the last little while so I did that one video where I talked about all the things I didn't like about the iPhone 10s and I still do yeah yeah and I'm still not gonna use it as my daily driver but it's not because I hate Apple or that I hate the iPhone 10s it's just I don't think it's the best choice and I'm a tech reviewer I can use literally any device I want and if I can then I will use something else but I also don't deci I say I don't hate them first oh right yeah oh yeah yeah this was bizarre so then because I did feel like that particular piece like I think even if my personal preference is the wrong way not to use an iPhone 10s it doesn't mean I hate it and I think my original piece was overly negative and so we were already planning to do a counterpoint piece 10 which is that are great about the iPhone which is a cool idea when both of those pieces are opinion pieces anyways they're not reviews um yeah neither of them were reviews to be very clear and it feels like our community was was split in Twain and you know half the comments on the initial piece are that I'm clearly paid off by Google or Samsung or whoever else the case may be because I'm just trashing the iPhone and then half the comments on the iPhone one or that Apple clearly sent a big bucket of money for us to say positive things with the iPhone I'd like to set this clear once and for all so that it can never be it can never be forgotten or misunderstood again if we were paid for something you would know because it would say sponsored by the name of whoever gave the money for it been kind of doing it forever in the video it's happened a lot and we would say verbally sponsored by or thanks to or whatever whatever it is to be very clear is it also in the description yes so it's on screen its verbally said and it's in the description Apple has never paid us to do anything and they have never even accepted a phone call or an email so no that didn't happen what happened was that they're just products they're just phones and laptops and motherboards that's all they are there is no there is no tribe that you join by buying a product I mean okay I shouldn't say that because they're kind of is but I reject that reality and I substitute my own because it's ridiculous I agree someone in chat brought up a pretty good point that you are paid off my blackberry I am obviously yeah or else you wouldn't have the opinion of being against both sides we have figured out the conspiracy well I don't have to be paid they're just my Canadian bro sort of license to TCL javi when when was the last time we covered a black high reading of the key - oh yeah quite recently actually and it you don't get a good reviews not getting a great valu know quite frankly I I think I I am I am I am setting myself up for another wave of hate right now so I just mostly finished almost finished the script for my pixel three XL review and it is pretty negative yeah well you know what I was talking about I said for months I was just gonna buy pixel three when it came out and I haven't yet and I still got my one and it's feeling really old sorry I have a note 9 in my pocket right now because I just finished my script for the pixel 3 I forgot I'm not actually carrying it anymore but there's just a handful of things that are just shockingly stupid so one have you bought the have you got the nougat Oreo pie yes have you got the pie update yet yes yeah okay did you notice that when you are watching a video for example and you click the volume rocker of everything that did to volume is horrible okay just just checking yeah so I have a whole like thing on audio management in Android pie and oh it's unbelievably absolute garbage shockingly stupid I have missed an obscene amount of calls because I go to lower the volume and it lowers the freaking call volume oh that's interesting so I have observed on my pixel 3xl that the default system behavior when you're not doing anything is now to adjust media volume rather than ringer volume let's see let's see what happens with yours but it's it's not a single occasion this has happened over periods of time so I basically I'm gonna go off on a fair number of things and I think the Android / Google fanboys are gonna figure I'm paid off by Apple or whatever the case may be but the reality of it is is that to me these are just products they're just glass metal and plastic and so if they're really lovely then they're really lovely and if they're really not and they're really not and that's all there really is to it so I'm not on sets anymore so I never want my call volume silenced sure it's silenced right now are you accidentally mashing your lock and your volume up because that's a gesture it's very unlikely well it's a gesture on the pixel 3xl I don't know if it's on this one here you got to turn it like turn it up and then hit it yeah that's probably what you do but then if you press it again it does so I rant about that too oh my god that's probably happening in my pocket just all the time wire calls just permanently muted like I can't and it doesn't make them vibrate and I changed the the the interaction so that supposed to vibrate when ringing and it still just doesn't know so I'm bracing myself for the hate storm but I'm at the point now where I just kind of don't even care because they're like the number of people that said they unsubscribed over that iPhone video was like if you read the comments it was probably similar to the number of people that claim they unsubscribed over the what was that company that did the benchmarking for Intel again hmm I don't meant something I can't remember yeah it has something to do with like justified or or remember anyway yeah neither of those days even registered as blips so I I don't know it seems to be either vocal

know we weren't doing any talking pause try throwing it like a yo know you roomed it young kids fellow schoolers fellow fellow - Liss you should secure your interwebs like surfing the net surfing it's been a long time is that a thing do people still say don't think so okay everything web surfing it seems to be happening a lot lately like someone I forget who it was but and this is okay look it's a direct quote and I'm sorry for that I have to say it but it was like someone said something and someone replied with well your mom's gay and I was like I had this like okay you know breath of the wild when you find the memories and it's like links like I was like transported back to the locker room in grade 8 you know yeah I was like those are words that I haven't heard together and didn't miss by the way in 15 years and so I feel like this is part of Aging because I'm experiencing it a lot lately surfing the web so the more you get older the more you become like a new link I'm just oh no right have you finished that game yet no I am close really it's gonna take me a long time I don't go on as many trips anyway I only played on trips I was horrified to discover that the switch has a feature that tells you how many hours you've spent in a game and I wanted a chair how much is it and there's some idling okay sure but not much okay my total playtime for that game is over 130 hours whoa I have officially spent more time playing breath of the wild in the last six months since I got a switch I didn't even get a switch until I had my wisdom teeth out that's probably more than I was like not all games you've played in the last few years combined yeah yeah probably like not counting when I'm like benchmarking or whitter yeah yeah that's so I have almost literally every armor in the game except the Soraa helmet I'm not sure where you get it it might be like it might be you have to find like the ten things and I didn't feel like doing it or something like that like there's a couple of quests I haven't finished I have my champions tunic completely upgraded which is a real pain in the butt and I have only looked up two things have you done like the challenge islands and stuff DLC yeah oh wait no I haven't done the DLC I've only done the one challenge island that's like already there so haven't done any DLC at all and I've only looked up two things so far and one of them I feel like a complete idiot about so in the whatever the clan is called the Heike clan or something Hyuga clan or something like that i can't remember what it's called but in the the clan's headquarters i did that dungeon like nine times getting to the end where have you done it don't like so okay well whatever there's a dungeon where you're supposed to use I have a long time ago yeah you're supposed to use Magni sis to open a secret door and the hint is that the room has a bunch of treasure chests like buried embedded in the ground that by that point in the game I think they've assumed you know that you can grab them out with magnesia so you're supposed to turn it on and see the hidden door I had not figured out that game mechanic yet and I just didn't think to turn it on even though I'd done a bunch of shrines like I knew that like it was probably a matter of just something like that so I did it all these times I finally I was just like screwed I looked up felt like a complete idiot and then the other one I looked up was the xenoblade chronicles like crossover quest or something like that and the hint is you got to go to the top of the snow the split snowy mountain peak and there's a snowy mountain peak that has a huge sword embedded in it and I went to that one and I stared into the night sky like you're supposed to for a very long time I was like this is really stupid I need to know if this is right and it turns out it was another one where the peak was like kind of split with a thing that's like you know what I don't even care because I solved that riddle ulocal was bad yeah no no so I don't even feel bad about that one but that's it like everything else I have figured out on my own for better or for worse so it has taken a very long time and then sometimes I'll drop in I'll spend an entire flight just accomplishing nothing just like going around and finding seeds and crap like that so I do like my brain off travel mode thing I only play on flights and yeah pretty much only flights actually I almost never play when I'm actually there but so when the game first came out I got a good amount of time on it yeah and then almost immediately it was like nope I have traveled so much this year yeah it's been stupid um anyway uh which if you're at IEM Chicago say hi trusted reviews pays a million pounds after Red Dead Redemption to leaks so this is where I need to I need to plead ignorance and say look we're gonna walk through what we have in our notes and I'm gonna tell you my knee-jerk reaction and it might be wrong okay trusted reviews has pulled an article published in February 2018 that was earlier this year that revealed unannounced gameplay details about Red Dead Redemption 2 and they have donated a 1 million pound settlement fee to charities of rockstars choice at the time the website said it received the documents in August 2017 but decided not to share them as they were unsubstantiated however in February 2018 after the information was validated by official promotional material trusted reviews went ahead with the story stating it had contacted Rockstar for comin ok the link to the article has now been replaced by an apology we published an article that was sourced from a confidential corporate document we should have known this information was confidential and should not have published it we unreservedly apologize to take to games and we have undertaken not to repeat such actions again we have also agreed to donate over a million pounds to charities chosen by take-two games what am I missing something here I'm really lost because if they had illegally obtained the documents which they haven't said that they did and in fact it's not in our notes but I believe they said that they were provided by an anonymous source for free which is how sourcing for rumor mill stories happens um what exactly is going on here so uh yeah twitch twitch chat why don't we talk to twitch chat ah everyone else seems to be confused I like and yeah yeah so what did you call a cat or whatever your name is I don't know yeah I think you're a prime subscriber so cool that's neat if someone leaked a confidential document that's on them not the reporter yes as far as I'm aware it works the same way in the UK which is where this whole thing took place as it does here where if you don't have an NDA and you don't have any other kind of confidentiality agreement or a legal obligation it's completely not your problem so like did they have some partnership agreement of some kind or something like their mutt there must be something else going on that we don't know yeah because if they like if they stole the documents like if reporters from not shoot who was it again I trusted review yeah if reporters from trusted reviews like literally donned ninja outfits and snuck into the Red Dead Redemption to like development studio and stole documents that's illegal if somebody else stole the documents and provided them without them buying stolen goods you don't want to pay for stolen goods okay but if someone just provided them free of charge to my knowledge that's not illegal for trusted reviews so I am not getting anyone yeah see this is another thing rubia says I'm more surprised that trusted reviews has a million pounds to donate I've been a parent company yeah professor use is owned by crap I I can't remember but I was I was doing a little bit of research into this before the show actually Wow it does happen from time time cuz I was just like what is going on right now I do not understand this I just what if it was confidential there could have been something in their Terms of Service enforceable like I remember having this argument with Luke where I was like look on all of our email signatures we need to have that confidentiality for your eyes only if they are the unintended recipient we please delete this and he's like those are completely unenforceable this is stupid now look look I don't care sometimes it's about scare tactics rather than the actual we did it anyways because useless okay fine look I'm not digging this debate back up I mean I put it on my new email from time to time I'm correct it's CloudFlare who was right okay all right okay he didn't even want to contact them he was like no that's not gonna work to be fair they have failed us more than a few times but in general it was like there is no way to fix this problem I'm like I google it I'm like contact these guys know call them I had to issue like an executive order to call those yep no now its defense this is an example that I love to bring up because it looks like the time that I was right about something like super technical and or like Network administration admin the crap there's like my one time to shine so I love bringing it up he's usually I immediately looked up yeah way to get around their security which is why I was like what the hell but most of the stuff that happens in that realm is automated anyways and it's very good at blocking all that guys and very often it's hard to do anyways anyway so in a nutshell we still don't know what the craps going on other than like the only thing that I can really come up with is that they're trying to avoid damaging the relationship with take two but then doctor one helluva here's where it gets a deeper to me how is that relationship worth a million paths yeah right like that's one hell of a try to fix this relationship yeah like I could even see like okay let's say um picket tech company like you're not talking like Intel Nvidia anyone go with gigabyte gigabyte okay pic gigabyte if we did something that really screwed over gigabyte real good like you know they we somehow obtained their roadmap for their upcoming graphics cards that they had an NDA with Nvidia four or something and we did a story on it that got them in a whole bunch of trouble and they were like yo man like this is terrible you know you basically just got us you got us cut off from Nvidia our company's revenue is gonna be down 20% next year what the heck man like I could see us being like okay here's no actually I know I still know why would we do that that's stupid that's ridiculous okay um so fine who's the ownership again I think it's time its TI media who I think owns like okay time and stuff okay so what is this rugby world shooting Gazette oh sorry I screwed that up wallpaper asterisk women at home what's on TV uncut shooting something shooting times now boat owner I never ever do this stuff any of home and garden that's that filming Gardens I've heard ideal home golf monthly I haven't looked at a magazine and so long that one seems like old print magazines okay so that kind of makes me hotter daddy 25 beautiful homes is the name of one of their brands okay well at any rate okay so I guess they're a big deal so they clearly have a million pounds to throw around and apparently it was worth making this go away to them somehow yeah alright cool um it's all I really have to say about that why don't we go ahead and um I feel like TI media needs to use like Squarespace or something because their websites are kind of dirt look at this tiny little bar at the top massive freaking image you have to scroll down a bit before you get past it and then finally information that's kind of like a trendy thing though it's there was some like weird computer company or something that I was on their website and it just like had all it was was like embedded videos and I was like no no no you need to have text on your website yeah all right let's do a few super chats dari says Burke Burke I'm a dog what would your for Sona be if you were a furry I'd be go I don't a wolf a bear Oh careful Oh I'm Kurt 101 says love the content keep it up man where it says review it not sure what you're talking about anymore Eric that was a long time ago presume that's probably the Walmart PC oh yes Hassam says can we have an actual blindfold build actually we are working on that a Corrupter it says thanks to the runner and those working behind the scenes glad to save such a worthy cause with this donation towards viewers Choice oh yeah we haven't been viewers choice in a long time Ali says Dada da no da B that's not dad notice though that is Deb but what you want is daddy again is that this one yeah okay but there's some micro dab thing now where it's like smaller or something I don't know maybe I don't know I don't follow these things very well Arctic Ross's gaming PC I don't even trust Walmart for food ouch dang haymaker hello Linus isn't my first dream it's midnight here in the UK you're probably not watching anymore then well at any rate high in the u k-- in the wall and the UK wal-mart is called Asda do they have a UK like thing well done that was a great workout since my watch brilliant mike says how you guys doing I'm good Paul says I always thought they wanted our og to sound like rogue ha nope it was much dumber than that gorlice says nothing hi guerilla tom says assembling a gaming pc isn't really skilled labor you'd be surprised how bummed up that can get again blind build a PC blindfold it sounds like a video yeah it sounds like it at this point scooby-doo says can you do wired and wireless Wi-Fi wired and wireless Wi-Fi cards please can you do a wired and wireless Wi-Fi cards please clemmy's reviews Asda is owned by Walmart it is not it's not like technically Walmart but it's a subsidiary of warming we don't really review Wi-Fi cards unfortunately - TLDR you're knowledgeable but sometimes your voice annoys me after extensive amounts of time I've worked out that what no no no this is a thing this is absolutely but work on that you're gonna go like voice coaching you know what I actually did experiment with it for a little bit so I there was a video that I hosted when I was like really sick and my voice was super low and there were like a bunch of comments about I was like okay you know what why don't we try hosting my videos like this for a little while and it's it's not it like it's obviously still my voice but it's a little bit less shrill like it's not like what yeah I don't like it overall the feedback was negative yeah yeah cuz it doesn't sound like you I don't know especially on a review channel I think the genuineness is important Noah says you're awesome hope to see LTX in the USA soon probably not but LTX this coming year just to give you guys some idea how seriously we're taking it I have issued a directive as of yesterday that the person who's going to be organizing LTX which will probably be Colton's wife Steph needs to start full-time like now like seven months prior like I want it to be way better this year cool yeah not that it was terrible but there was like a lot of noticeable room for improvement yes but it was very good it was very fun event but there was a lot of like okay yeah shout out to Mike Adams holy smokes how are there so many super chats dreck says please review some Nubia X the double screen phone ah man I'm so tired of reviewing phones right now it is so boring I think that's why they're all turning into rants I'll get back to you on that one laser says I love my moto Z force with an add-on battery okay Michael says why don't people buy the lower end phones new from Apple it's not like the new phones are much noticeably faster yes but the support period like I would pay an extra couple by the time you're paying six $700 for a phone you're gonna use for with two years of support why not pay eight $900 for one with three and a half years there's also like even if it's new you still get the software slowdown right no only once your battery degrades okay all right I think that's pretty much all I got thank you guys we will see you again next week same bad
