so we're back on YouTube oh but a second of the thumbnail oh he's near the thumbnail I mean I cuz I did it I did it straight from oh I did no configuration you youtube I didn't I didn't train which also means i don't have the link alright so maybe i should have thought that through better sorry it's okay we were in a rush we're gonna really trying to get on time for you guys you're lying on the bed it's much more important to be on time that it is to have all the little details yeah all those little minor things every stone okay turn to the night I gotta go get the link from a channel and so does that mean the link that I just tweeted out is broken yes it is that's what that yeah that's fine haha live see me right tis alright yeah we're alive have been life for 40 seconds hey guys we welcome welcome to awesome hardware if it's your first time here that's a perfect idea of what to expect in deserve an example goodness is real life yes that's the main main point alright so eyes on the prize people funny story at the beginning of today's show I'm at least gonna be able to update this yeah funny story um I realized since Kyle had used not the system did you bring the system with you oh oh so since Kyle had used his his exploit account to stream recently from a hotel in in San Diego it was set to a lower resolution so I was like oh we should stream at 1080 that's what we usually do so I had to cut the stream to reset it to 1080 and when I cut the stream it pops a little thing that says do you want to hand the stream and I've gotten really used to just clicking yes because usually when I stop the three and we're ending the stream so i clicked yes which meant that everything that I had set up for the original for this original show would like the link and the thumbnail and all that was like used up so we streamed to that video for like five seconds at 720 and then it was over so sorry only we're not too late it's it's five it's almost 550 now so we're still within 20 minutes of when we usually start but I had to kind of frantically grab all of the description and everything put it back in to a video so that we could stream and that's where you're watching right now so that's why we're maybe not quite as prepared as we sometimes are at the beginning of the show but thank you for being here anyway I'm gonna go ahead and paste the new link in your chat in your youtube check yes please please do that would be absolutely awesome cuz I'm a good friend of the kid that's why and I will tweet it you got one view on that old one wait hold on videos live streams now okay here we go and I just tweeted it cool alright I'm not logged into my can I post links here I'll just do this maybe not all right so anyway guys let's try to start the stream the way we usually do which may or may not work this is back button do here uh yeah um alright so far usually tooth if you're not impressed already maybe buy some stuff from our stories my store is paul harbor at nets really something i have a new OS have something new on the store today look it's a men's grey tri-blend version of a thumbscrew logo shirts with the black thumb screw audience nice and that's new i have some new other new stuff coming up very soon but all the other old stuff still there of course as well x crew shirt zero insertion force shirts hoodies mugs pint glasses Cal's stories bit wit dot tech / store he also has a wide array of shirts available in different varieties shapes sizes and designs so check that out nice and off you happened to purchase during the show will give you a healthy shout out yes I will say that the the bios flasher shirt completely sold out so i got them reprinted and restocked today so those are back in stock in case you guys were waiting for them to be replenished they are okay yes well cool hey starting off up Shepherd thanks for the five dollar donation I'm glad you're enjoying Witcher 3 and 1440 with an FX 8 59 a TI ya beautiful and thanks for the compliment i'm glad you enjoy the concert all right um where where where shall I begin I should begin but only at the beginning we should begin okay that's a very good place to start are we going to start seeing doe a deer is that doe a deer a female deer ray a drop of golden sun right we don't want to get like me I get monetize cuz they're singing so on point that it sounds just like the real thing you are just the it's a remarkable Julie Andrews impersonation that you do there oh you know love alright so today we're gonna be talking about I might have the show at least uh Google Google's event that they had today I watched not the whole thing but a good-sized chunk of it we also have a little bit tech news towards the end everyone's going to be doing an expanded swordfight section where Kyle and I are going to argue about many different things also you have high cpu usage detective cap unfortunate what alright it went away um alright so let's get started right oh no beer check they forgot the beer check yeah um right now I'm drinking this split as a porter uh yes it's portable yes it's a porter yep good what is it though it's a deschutes how did you lack boot b ut te I've always been confused whether it's called or pronounced boot or what that was blunt beaut beaut ok I could be wrong black butte porter and that it's not a Stein we've also got a couple beers from our good old buddy John from Norway who was actually a winner a couple weeks back for the day of refinement giveaway sorry my voice is a little dead from twitchcon by the way if you guys couldn't tell so that's what's going on there so I don't usually sound like I've been smoking a pack a day hundreds and so the John was kind enough he was the giveaway winner to bring us a bunch of beer from Norway way overseas and we are still like finishing it off I think these are the last two bottles okay we have from that batch she brought us like eight or nine bottles so thank you John we are down to the wire here I'm drinking a Hubble canon india pale ale and it's kind of cool it's got it on canon with the shooting out some hops though shoot some hops in them there's a hand and just as hand with 2 a's maybe hon and I'm drinking slats lat t all slot y'all that's exactly how you pronounce it some slits lady slaty old tale sleepy you late and i'm not sure i don't know either what kind of here i need to finish my Porter though first this is i will save that for kyle's have the show and i'll get really shitty hey this week if i get messed up for the second half of the show it'll be your half and think i can still proceed maybe I'll boss maybe I'll hiccup for the rest of the show sorry to anyone who is around last week I mean who knows maybe I don't need to apologize and you guys enjoyed it but um you know I got the hiccups pretty bad during the show kind of that was that was probably like one of the best moments in awesome hardware ever I think really like we I was that was a top moment well sure that goes you made history that night because Allah along with the the the thing that Jon Stewart said when when Stephen Colbert went to do his his late show that he's doing now that if you if you feel uncomfortable like you're doing the right thing apparently yeah right so that out of your comfort zone right I didn't feel like I was running a good show they're all right uh let's let's cheer just pixel oh yeah she's shake off the show cheers to all of you guys who are joining us if you drink in growth hopefully it's are responsible and you're of legal drinking age that is quite tasty actually eze give it yeah good it's an IPA yeah right so Google I had an event today where they announced amongst other things the pixel phone a new pixel phone they have a video here for it they throw some shade at Apple which is kind of funny Scott an aluminum unibody polished glass finish there's actually a glass piece on the back as well as all the way across the front screen LED display some random features that I just kind of jotted down as I was watching the event you can plug it in and charge it for 15 minutes and you'll get seven hours of battery life yeah I was young about time that's what you're pretty great a new android feature I don't know if this is an Android feature or just for the pixel but the OS will update in the background and just prompt you for a restart rather than restart and then like hopefully that means you have to go through all the updating apps thing and everything that takes so long uh twist the phone and in midair to activate the selfie camera and I was just a random thing that they showed on stage is kind of money just like flip it like when you got the camera up in a double flip right yeah and it knows that you uh yeah that you want to use the selfie cam fingerprint scanner that doubles the trackpad first phone shipping with Android 7.1 project Phi compatible which I think I'm going to be trying an excellent actually and man so type C as well right yes of course USB type-c and all that good stuff so here is a ours ARS technica article where they have a little bit more hands on a few more pictures yeah so that it's it's available in two versions the XL and just the standard pixel so you get a 5 inch or 5.5 inch screen they have both have the same internals I mean it's mainly just a bigger screen that you get with the larger one as well as a bigger battery Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 one processor it's a quad core with dual 2.5 2.15 gigahertz processors and dual 1.6 egrets processors it's a couple that are faster than the others they're showing this blue version right now which is really blue that's the actual name as I'm they named the colors the names they chose for the colors were very Doge like great yeah um quite black very silver really blue such such green yes since they should have such green as well maybe it the blue sold-out i saw i actually have ordered one of these and i was actually like i usually go with really bland colors for my phones cuz i don't care i'm like a it's usually black or whatever yeah so like I when I get the blue just you know may make a little difference I feel like they really went out like they made a point to kind of differentiate the look and style of their phone which I feel is good because I feel like a lot of flagship phones lately are starting to look exactly the same well like the s6 and the iphone 6 looked almost you know indistinguishable and so like they've got the the pixel has that tempered glass piece on the back to which is very like noticeable and kind of unique so it's kind of nice if their brand jeanette with their their colors as well yeah I cool it gives you a little bit more variety right at the gates yeah Benjamin thank you for the five-pound donation greetings to England all the way across the pond and next keep things safe for work or the overlords willed a nice money yet we're gonna we're going to do that I shall try okay it's been a while since we've had a sex toy on the show it's got four gigs of LP ddr4 ram a pixel imprint fingerprint sensor that I've already mentioned the pixel will have a 2770 milliamp hour battery and the XL will have 3450 and then it's supposed to have a really really nice camera of course it should if its flagship phone I'm sure there's going to be tons of comparisons between this and iphone 7 you got twelve point three megapixels with large pixels 1.5 x 5 micro i believe is that micrometer where is that smaller than a millimeter I'm not sure they talk about the actual size of the pixels that is micro that yeah yeah micrometer um an F 2 point 0 aperture so you should be able to get the Boca now here's here's the two available in two sizes as far as capacity of storage 32 or hundred and twenty eight gigs and it's a hundred bucks more for 128 gig version yeah so definitely a marketing yeah definitely my kind of thinking maybe a 64 gig version in the middle might have helped a little bit it is already an expensive phone any of the USB type-c 3.5 millimeter headphone jack bluetooth 4.2 a couple other things you get along with the phone just by having it since it's like new flagship and everything free unlimited uncompressed storage for all of your photos and videos that's really nice that's pretty cool I gotta that got a round of applause from the audience even 4k and completely uncompressed I really use video or like backup or like photo backup services and stuff just cuz like I don't a lot of them will do some compression and whatever and I don't I don't want that yeah um iPhones the same way I think yeah yeah so that's pretty cool and especially since this of course can also shoot 4k video yeah that was I found that appealing starts at six hundred and forty nine dollars for the standard Google pixel a standard Google pixel 32 gig is 6 650 128 gig of course 100 bucks more 750 and then the pixel x el is seven hundred and sixty nine dollars and 128 gig version is 860 nine dollars which one did you get and I got the I spent the most money you can spend at the XL 128 gig yeah i did and i'm not sure so your last phone was that also a 5.5 inch screen um well right now i'm on a galaxy s6 which i was i bought as a refurb and it was a replacement for my Nexus 6 so I'm which was yes I'm it was this was actually sure of shrink down from my yeah from your leg asus phone right yeah this is much smaller than the nexus i was using and I've almost gotten used to a smaller phone but I don't mind the larger phones my hands are reasonably sized so um yeah but I spent I spent too much money I don't know did I what today on the phone yeah I was trying to find my actual tweets wrong with taxes and stuff that's close to a grand right uh yeah yeah yeah I sweet I tweeted my receipts with information redacted and stuff here's here's my actual order nine hundred and fifty nine dollars and fifty-one sense that is with the areola and volleyball for the 128 gig yeah that is with about seventy bucks tax and I also paid $21 for shipping because of course the estimated dates were like right when I'm supposed to leave to go out of the country not on oh great I'm gonna be in that situation work I hope this arrives the day I'm getting um it's how is it probably won't so I don't know I there's nothing I could do about that but yeah anyway uh so yeah it's you also do a follow up on a future awesome harbor and let us know how you're liking it once I definitely will well I'm probably gonna do a video homeware network video I was hoping to like get it take it on my trip with me and then you know do do some sort of on the fly you know action coverage or whatever mm-hmm-hmm would be sweet but anyway I'm actually going to preemptively send out this straw poll so you guys can vote really quick because the question is probably pretty obvious but I'm you know is is it overpriced is the question that we're asking so yes vote on that we'll come back to in just a few minutes when we get to swordfight sweet all right next is daydream view which is a VR headset um you guys excited about VR headsets who loves the Samsung gear VR man yeah well actually before before I before I dive into this the other thing to point out it's actually pretty cool that I didn't mention about the pixel is it comes with Google assistant and Google assistant is like the it's like Google now plus you know the answers on but made fancier yeah bit more conversational and all that good stuff right um which for now is exclusive exclusive to the pixel phones as far as phones go but then you can also access it with Google home which we'll come back to in just a minute anyway the daydream view is a VR headset by Google it's one of the VR headsets that are made to work with a phone so we have complained in the past about whether or not that actually counts as VR knots but for better for worse that's what they're calling it um 360 videos strapped to your head yeah that's what it is well this can do a little bit more because they're actually developing some apps specifically for and everything and it goes along with Google daydream which is you know they're the VR environment that they're kind of working on that you can access with a phone or other VR type device what makes this one a little bit more unique is that it is crafted from technical fabrics fabrics which actually does give it a bit more of a distinct look kind of flexible techy type material like the type of stuff that you'd imagine you you'd wear if you were going out for a jog or something like that you know in the flexible type fabrics you don't look quite as silly I mean it's a little bit smaller you still look kind of silly but maybe not quite and you know it's got that texture print on there so it's a bit more modern yeah it does look a bit more mana I mean the fact that it's flexible I do i do definitely I don't want to don't get me wrong I definitely prove it looks like he's got a shoe on his head yeah it looks like I'd like the sole of a shoe of a shoot it's available in a few different colors they have like a kind of gray as grey silver and this kind of red and then kind of a lighter gray with I guess kind of gold accents or something like that and then it's probably really light than tube fits fabric it's very light everyone everyone who i read about who had tried it on said you know if you compare it to like a Viper a rift it's oh yeah wait lighter and everything of course it does it's not as powerful so don't don't confuse the capabilities of it but it does come with this tangle remote which has a touchpad I believe this area at the top is a touchpad a couple simple buttons as well as a gyroscope in it so you can use that for interaction with the actual world around you um which they were saying is it makes a little bit more sense than like connecting a Bluetooth you know gamepad or something when you're starting up your VR experience on your phone yeah but yeah it's also pocket friendly so yeah you carry an xbox with you all or an xbox controller with you all the time yes well it actually um it actually goes right there so nice does little front of it that flips down the little remote just their slots in there so you know hopefully that makes it a little bit less difficult to lose pretty cool and yeah so there it is the daydream view VR $79 is what you would pay for it and then it will of course work with pixel phones right now and of course they're saying like most android phones i Donna say most they said a lot of android phones this will work with right now I'm you know they're trying to make it flexible for all that sooo are you planning on getting one no I did not order this I don't care yeah this is that's what I think it to be yeah uh I mean we have a five and a rift so I care okay that's those two bruh I care about VR and I care about making VR headsets that are more lightweight and I appreciate some of the things that they did with this one to make it better and I can see you know an oculus rift to version 2 or whatever or an HTC vive version too heavily considering something like this when it comes to design because it just makes it less clunky and bulky and that right anything but yeah uh yeah and then I wasn't already said it comes in different colors so cool that's what I chromecast ultra was another one of the announcements when it comes to actual hardware so this is the third generation of the chromecast it will sell for $69 it's very reasonably priced and it will do all the things that the chromecast already does so easily allow you to be watching something on your phone and just throw it up on your TV that with the chromecast plugged into in stuff yeah some pretty cool updates though a 4k video support of course that's kind of what you would expect also HDR coulombs not necessarily expecting both of those but it's got both of them so must have a faster processor in there because it also has 1.8 times faster loading time when you like you of a video it's also got an Ethernet port which I thought was cool as an option especially if you're in a very congested congested wireless area yeah and the ethernet ports not on that little pocket self it's on the power adapter that comes with it and then I was reading a little bit of the article but I kind of had to skip over this one because the show time was coming up but the anon tech article which is linked in the description if you guys want to read a little bit more this one's directly from Ryan Smith he has some of the specs laid out here as far as what they know we don't know for the ultra what processor it's using that kind of thing we do know it's got a dual a two antenna wireless radio two point four and five gigahertz and yeah that's that's about it um so yeah he's saying it might support 1080 60 which has been one of the downfalls of the current chromecast yeah which does not so yeah all right last product here for the this is supposed to be a hot and heavy hardware segment by the way but I think ever gets even say that Oh is google home okay so Google home is basically like like an Amazon I go heck oh yeah type of thing um so it's google's version of amazon echo because amazon had the amazon echo first and that's why it's easy to explain it like that but yeah it does still have some pretty cool features so it's got a touch pad at the top so you can control it via touch although it's made primarily to control via voice so you say okay google and as long as you're in the same room or with an earshot of it because it has far-field microphones right um it'll yeah little thing and listen to you and then you can ask you to question or tell to do something or whatever and it should do it it got speakers big-ass speakers yes it's got some substantial speakers built-in music and stuff which I thought was pretty cool so almost even like a competitor's into something like oh crap i forget the name uh what's what's the wireless it's like a higher-end wireless in-home Wi-Fi playing music solution my friend used to work for the company and it's just just escaping me right now uh where I was whatever playing solution yeah you can play the bass in Santa Barbara you know like so many details why Zach enough accompaniment into my head somebody in chat help me it's probably Alexa yeah really by the way a huge shadow 2mb 67 thank you very much for the generous $25 nice and they got this I don't know since you don't have a name here but we had a blast Thank You chat oh so does yeah we got a blast meeting you at twitchcon at the meetup as well I'm sure we did we had a blast meeting all of you guys is that Mike who came out oh maybe that's what the m's for another two I know there are two mics so I have a high chance a good chance that double probability uh you guys are even cooler in person than on video tests yeah cuz we are pretty lame on video I will say guys are into it thank you very much and happy belated birthday to you as well nope cheers and and also pie for the five dollar donation thank you your opinion matters pc 08 with GT x 1080 for the one sli and 6700 k single loop cpu + GPU or cpu and cpu individual loops um if you're in the PC OA you're probably over to you already dealing with kind of a small case right the pc 08 that's the isn't that the the Langley wall-mounted chassis that's the wall managed chassis no no I remember that is lien Lee it's oh oh it's the one that boxy one yes the boxy one yeah um I would you got the space go for it do loops yeah do a little bit cuz it yeah as you got us a lot going on and even in at 6700 k isn't gonna out put it quite as much heat as like a 68 fifty or sixty nine hundred or something like that just go for the double loops you you're already gone you're already invested so much yep all right back to Google home though and thank you everyone in chat sonos is what I was trying to refer to and you guys knew exactly what I thought oh yes you know me so well alright so these are going to cost a hundred twenty nine dollars that's for a single unit you can get more than one of them and scatter them around your home if you have a large home or something like that available multiple colors these are fabric based ones on the left's and the the orange the blue and the purple then they also have some metallic bases in the black and copper and white fun part of Google assistance which is again the rebranded version of google's voice powered search and Google now it is smarter and more conversational and in the demos that they had they they talked to it and you can kind of have more of a conversation with it rather than just asking a pretty direct question and getting a pretty direct answer although ultimately what you're really going to get is kind of the same information that Google now would provide for you it does integrate with music apps like Spotify and Pandora which is pretty cool so you can tell it to play music and it will like you can set a preferred music service and it will play on your preferred music service or it would like do the other music service if the song you asked for wasn't on the first one for example and it will soon allow you to cast Netflix videos to any TV with a chromecast attached going on yeah which is which is also kind of cool far field Mike's 3 speaker and the basis i already mentioned those things and there is a techcrunch article linked in the description if you guys want to read a little bit more about their first look at it also there's a mute button I kind of like I like the mute button and thank you for making it not hidden in tucked away somewhere yeah because you know it's still paranoid about a device just listens to you all the time right and we have to assume that the mute button actually works and does what it says it does and actually mutes and stops listening to you but you you likes of course it would you just you just mantle the mute by just like me nothing there's just like a wall maybe the mute but finding anything mute button turns on like advanced listening mode they don't want us to hear what they're talking about increases the decibel reading or something feeds everything directly to the NSA that's what the mute goodness all right that clearly have something to hide that's my assumption um so that's all for your hon heavy hardware google edition yay fun stuff thanks for people in chat who are still pointing out that it's so knows someone said the mute button techno scope said the new button only stops it from responding so but that doesn't necessarily mean that maybe it's not listening really but it's a meet it's a mic mute that I got the whole idea though or maybe he's just elaborating on our our theory I'm not sure he could be joking matter okay let's move on to a sword fight we actually have an expanded certified segment for this week because we missed sword fight last week so I actually pulled one of the questions from last week to do again this week and I had nothing to do with the fact that I was rushing before the show started alright so let's start off with this one right here this is an article on ARS technica about amazon recently banning reviews based on free or discounted products there's a wait say that again amazon and review is going either just started or they're going to now ban reviews on that are based on free or discounted products now what I'm not clear on here is amazon has a program called vine where they send people products to review for free yeah now i'm not sure if amazon is banning all of it they're cutting off the vine program i kind of doubt they would do that but maybe maybe now the vine program will be exclusive like that's the only way you can get a free product interview it on amazon but lots of vendors like a manufacturer for example can set up their own we send you a product you post a review on amazon program if they've won um you know I think I think gigabyte might have something like that going on or something but yeah it's basically the idea is that getting the product for free you're getting the product for a discount creates awareness creates a bias and leads to overwhelmingly or significantly more positive reviews yeah and the articles describes how they did a study of seven million reviews on review meta and the incentivized reviews are the ones that includes the proper disclaimer text where they put what's the text you put I received this product for free or at a discount in exchange for my honest unbiased review then it means oxymoron right so they basically search that and they found that that if it included that rating that the product was rated 0.38 stars higher than non incentivized reviews and in a 5-star cap system point three eight stars is a substantial amount of them of light and it is because I mean if something has four stars on amazon I'm class and a similar product has four point four stars then I'm more inclined to buy the one that has the higher rating it seems miniscule but when you're comparing you know tons of products and it really comes down to the wire then that point four star difference really influences your position and so yeah no question manufacturer manufacturers definitely have an incentive to get reviews for their products especially good ones so if sending out some free ones means you can get an overall higher review rating on amazon then there's lots of people who have done it so but amazon has decided that since this is tainting their ratings that they're going to cut it off that's an average to that is an average that's scary just way way better wait what alright so here's the straw poll question we're going to be arguing over right now and you guys are free to of course argue it yourselves or you can argue it yourselves or you can vote or you can listen to what we have to say and then based on our wise opinions then you then then you vote you do I'll do all that stuff all rights okay what do you what do you feel here should you trust reviews based on free or discounted products we got of course basically we got a yes or a no option what do you think well I kind of already started my argument for saying no all right so kal-el you should go for that then I'll say no they're compromising biased and mostly evil as a reviewer myself if if a fender well I guess it doesn't really apply that way right cuz i do get for free anyway man i'm gonna argue the other one well I guess that's different it is it well for us it's if you're Abe you get paid I knew I knew that this had they were layers there layers to this quest is tricky is if you are if you argue that they're compromised then you're basically saying that we're compromised damn it what did I'm so compared rate yeah I thought this was gonna be using 15 seconds to think about it while I real quickly say thank you very much Randall a five dollar donation and yes it was great to meet you as well at the tipsy crow that was a very fun night I got to hang out with with Luke and it was lots of lots of good people that was great it was nice because i felt like it there was an there was a decent number of people there but it didn't feel like it was closer out crowded yeah are like a mess they'd also didn't feel like no one showed up good thanks Josh if you happen to be watching for helping coordinate that event it was neat um okay so I'm gonna change my stance here and say of course you should um because we get pollen I get free products all the time and all of our reviews are completely unbiased uh granted we're in sort of different both because we are tech reviewers that's what we do for a living but some of these people who review products online just lean amazon reviews that maybe that's what they do for a living maybe they just review stuff on amazon or you know whatever other you know websites there are that your resellers retailers and stuff so I mean point three eight stars isn't that bad I mean really come on come on like it's just just like I mean it's not really gonna make a difference in the grand scheme of things it's not even half a star I mean they don't even have increments in point three or point four stars it's like point five it doesn't even reach the minimum requirement for having an increment so i don't know i think based on what Paul and I do the fact that you're all watching us now means that you trust that all the products we get for free are reviewed properly and reviewed unbiased Lee so why shouldn't we why should we treat these products any different or these reviews any different I don't know tell us ball well you made a strong point there at the end because basically you're telling people that if they disagree with you it means that they're wrong for even watching our channels at all which seems like a strong argument but what you're not taking into consideration is the fact that people could be watching us to find out what they shouldn't be doing who knows maybe nobody trusts us at all which they shouldn't because paid for are not paid for but reviews based on free or discounted products are compromised and biased and evil they're well they're watching us to say which products are being sent to people for compromised reviews and then we should no longer trust those companies see we're basically promoting the more knowledge of companies that are shady and people are watching our channels to find out about those shady company so that they can then avoid them I just now thought up that I know this theory just came into my head so I haven't not researched it so this might not be based that you know I'm not going for use at all ya know this makes perfect sense yes it does it does so alright so that obviously if you get something for free it's like you're not going to treat it with the same amount of scrutiny as if you had invested your own money into it like that's that's just psychology and it's obviously backed up by the scientist i a'n't if accrue salts that are demonstrated in the article so point proven hey see I'll make sense all right ah let's see what you guys think about this one yes he has a brilliant argument it was good really good uh oh you're all you're all wrong here all wrong what what am I thinking putting a sensible response in there I'm but uh twenty four percent no they're compromised and biased and mostly evil yeah I would have to agree in the grand scheme message that's pretty low choice there Kyle you picked at eight percent her I was going you know I was I was rooting for the underdog yeah you were you were I was taking up a undertaking a challenge all right well it was well played well played yeah I tried okay let's move on ah this is the next one which is about YouTube heroes you too sir this is just like a new MMO or a new mobo run my mouth a little bit sounds like a new moment we're getting started with wow look at the like dis really like ratio with us oh my god this is I've never seen it so much worse Rebecca Black did better than that yeah that's insane alright so if you guys aren't familiar with YouTube heroes you probably should because it's been out for a couple weeks now I said like ours this information lamely racist or something what not are you not familiar with this at all no really this went over your head when did this come out about a week and a half ago because it was going to be a we're gonna talk about it in last week's show hey am I have somehow missed it so YouTube heroes is basically YouTube's program to engage their community of viewers to help too I want to say sensor to flag inappropriate comments and videos oh my god to add captions and subtitles okay these users will have the power to do all those things if you're part of the YouTube Heroes program to get a separate dashboard where you can track your contributions YouTube will still get the last say on what to remove from the website hope so so I mean the fear is obviously a bunch of YouTube heroes who decided to hit your channel start taking down all your videos youtube will still have the final say according to this heroes can only flag and report them but a lot of people still aren't happy to YouTube is putting unpaid volunteers in charge so to speak so they're not getting paid at all no they're not getting paid this is a volunteer program people do this already people already flagged videos that shouldn't be flagged yeah but this will give them more power great good God so he's an engadget article on it that's actually a little bit more on this this is this is YouTube's way of saying no guys it wasn't us that up everything it was the heroes this is just a huge scapegoat that Utah's created because everyone's blaming you to like now we need some other elements we needed we need a common enemy between the content creators and ourselves youtube anti-heroes yes alright so the question see your game youtube I see what you're doing see what you did there and I don't like it the question just to keep things simple and straightforward is does YouTube hero suck and despite what is probably a pretty obvious answer based on the lake dislike ratio for that video we will argue it nonetheless its controversial so argue conflict yes it will destroy you tube and the trolls will take over no it's gonna be awesome I'm gonna finally have community moderation and a third option I'm still kind of pissed it wasn't just a big guitar hero announcement um this that occurred to me it's funny when I wrote it in we can go uh Sonny way what do you think no shows huge oh yes yes I forgot to read the question ok does it suck yes it does destroy youtube so ok going against your likely answer which is it's gonna be awesome we'll finally have a community mod system that's stupid because YouTube isn't just one community I mean it is but it's like got a bunch of other umbrellas underneath it like there are dudes who like are on YouTube that watch like one type of video or one type of genre video and then like stumble into another genre that they hate or they find some content creator that they just despise and now they have like full rein to like just go ahead and flag it and they're giving more power for that whereas like if you go on like a tech forum like you go on the linus tech tips for more something shameless plug like you're not going to have like soccer moms who are into soccer flood like flocking the linus tech tips for not going to go to linus tech tips com and and like get like flagged or because it's a completely separate e unit youtube screwed in a community sense because it's just too many communities all in one space it's just too easy to have to see a suggested video we've all seen those suggested videos that do not apply to us at all you click that video and you're like how the was i suggested this and and it doesn't take much for some bitter troll on the internet to see that video I'm be like you and I hated flag like flagging is like the new dislike for trolls you know so it is just too easy for people to do that and I think that YouTube giving power to those types of people is just wrong in in more ways than it's not so you try to argue that bitch alright so oh well does YouTube hero suck no it's going to be awesome and we will finally have community moderation so here's a problem this is change and whenever you try to change something on the internet there's waving flag we're getting flagged right what is it okay starring your devata yeah so whenever you try to change something on the internet that's been the same way for a while people will resist it like every every possible way they can I mean you take like as a UI that people have gotten used to you try to move a button and everyone's like oh my god I keep pushing the wrong button yeah you know that kind of thing regardless of like your degree in UX design and all that kind of stuff that you might have but back to the point here youtube heroes there's community moderation that's done well there's lots of examples of moderated by the community communities on the internets I mean I'm gonna throw bread it up there as an example granted there reddit is another one of those ones it's so huge similar to YouTube that there are different pockets and whatnot some of them they're better than others but done correctly community moderation is really the only way that you're going to have some semblance of civility on a platform like YouTube where anyone who wants to say anything can just go and say it there are too many people posting too many things in this environment for it to be reasonable to say Google you need to have staffed moderators to go and browse and proves all this stuff and you know take out the bad stuff and you need human eyes looking at each thing and making a decision that's just it's not going to happen and if you guys enjoy watching videos on YouTube for free then I think people should be a little bit more receptive to something like this because people like having a dignified conversation and this is just sort of a means to that and I think people are overreacting about the power that these heroes are going to actually have because like i said in the in the lead-up to this YouTube still gets the last say on what happens on what gets removed and what doesn't get removed this is simply a means of bringing problem issues to the attention of the dedicated staff that YouTube has so that they can handle it in a more efficient manner and we all know how proactive YouTube is it has that was really I feel like I was really well said what I just said I kept being afraid that I was just gonna like forget words but I actually kept you know I kept up with it the whole time any bed it was all phyllisha anne too bad that I believed none of it's just making it making it all alright oh let's see what you guys think everyone thinks it must suck quite a few people are pissed it wasn't a big guitar hero announcements that day did better than right so we traded they percenters yeah I got the a-team on shiner though in the second second round so there it is youtube heroes sucks I'm surprised that 24 people still were like no I think it sounds great all right real quick I was like some real late this this one that I already linked towards the beginning of the show so you guys can vote on it if you haven't had a chance to yet we'll be coming back to this in just a moment but before we do that a more interesting question we don't have to argue about this wait first our donations Oh donations donations i dollars from Stephen Hill thank you very much heroes could just be a trap permanently banned from reporting videos after they got the after they get hero status perhaps the guy can hope nice meeting y'all hey it's nice being you to Steven hmm I'd remember chat yes Patrick even thank you for the donation you guys are great quick question best location for UV lights on UV coolant with rad set up similar to Arctic Panther and hot line pretty much with UV lights wherever you would put regular LED lights and I don't know it's too much different I mean you want to be able to hit the coolant we're actually have mine on Arctic Panther is in the top radiator like if the windows on this side it's actually tucked into the radiator um like the little lips that sticks over between the the bottles like the lowest part of the radiator and the fins so that cover up no because it's good Peter so it's like up there but then it shines down and towards everything else so it I liked it cuz I hadn't seen it done before and it was in a position where you can't see the LEDs themselves but it still gets a lot of light on the on the tubes and coolant and everything so i can send her something like that um yeah I mean I think I think a big strip across the top and on a big strip across the bottom both positioned out so you can't see him from the outside of the case but then down if you have a reservoir that's at the front of your case also just lining the LEDs running them down the front of your case as well as a possibility if you have room hmm oh yeah nice all right good luck on the build Patrick GG all right so here's the question that I asked last week and I was just pulling this up because there was a bunch of people who voted on this last week there's like over 100 votes even though I never talked about it on the stream there's just people who found it in the description so congrats to all you guys and you were hearing all the options oh wait I didn't mean to vote it was so which phone should you get even though you've already got it yeah which one should i get even i already ordered it i just want to say almost thirty percent of people said just it galaxy note 7 that ain't the that is hold it a little bit it's either because of the adore because people want me to die somehow and get a galaxy note 7 all the hairs here's the haters gonna hate lots of votes for the one plus three I was considering one plus three but um yeah I got the google pixel XL so i did get the third option here of the phones that won't kill me uh why is the phone I recommended option iphone 7 plus google pixel 7 plus beat the google pixel that's we have google pixel and XL we're so far apart yeah interesting people definitely want me to have a big phone though the smaller phones did not get many votes oh yeah it's good you need something substantial to hold in your hand all right it's got to be proportional right all right exactly yeah exactly what were you talking about no no um all right so since we've already argued a fair amounts I'm going to just show the results for this one especially because we gave people the option or you can just you can give your opinion is it overpriced 650 to 750 dollars I think it's a little overpriced because i'm not a huge phone user yeah i'm not a huge power user it doesn't really mean the world to me that my phone is like ten percent better than all the other phones and i don't want to spend that much more on it because of that ten percent diminishing law of returns i feel i think it's also overpriced I still bought it I probably would not have invested that much money in it if it wasn't also something that I could use to make videos on for my channel so yeah that that definitely had an impact BBQ ribs oh that sounds delicious thank you for your five dollar donation uh thank you for the congrats on the 80 episodes we've done eight this is our idiot episode yeah how long do you think it'll be until USB type-c is integrated into pc cases that's a good question um i would say longer rather than shorter only because i remember the USB 3.0 long ass time to get finalized now you already have USB type-c like ports on motherboards like on the rear i/o and stuff like that not on board but yeah as far as having a USB type-c port integrated onto like a chassis like front panel I or something like that yeah that's a good question i have not i don't think i've seen any cases that just have it because when you have to have the motherboard with a 3.1 header as well yeah there's no standardized USB 3.1 header you yeah but you can have a USB type-c port that's a u.s. ut3 why no connections so I wonder if like just an adapter would be all that was needed or something like that it's a good question I hope soon because especially once i get my pixel i'll start looking down pejoratively negatively on any micro USB stuff i'll be like that sucks now right now I'm like I've got so many micro USB cables I'll never run out now I'm gonna be like I hate them any time you like plugging your phone to charge it after you pixel it was like look someone else in the eye and just do it without looking just yeah well I was so not like I don't even know which way it's going in but okay okay uh anyway let's see what you guys think is it overpriced most people say yes and they pay well dinner and enriched this I mean honestly this is rickard this is probably the biggest thing for this cuz cuz I this yeah this is the biggest negative i think this irritated me as well the reason i got the pixel is because i enjoyed my nexus phone a couple Nexus phones that I had so much and I kind of wanted that same experience at the same time I was ready for a flagship phone and investing a little bit more but I can completely understand people who are like Nexus phones used to be like 300 bucks and you can buy them right up no contract right and there were really good phones yeah yeah that that sucks i hope the nexus line is not dead I hope they relaunched a new Nexus phone in the future that's just you know not as good as the pixel but still reasonably priced and still gives you the full android and all that kind of stuff only eleven percent said i love thousand dollars make smartphones all right sad let's move on to final segment news right that's the final segment of course is where we will talk about more news things the pc version of Gears of War can now be preloaded if you guys are going to buy the game or you want to if you've pre-ordered the game I don't recommend pre-ordering games but if you have you can preload it it is 73 freaking gigabytes so make sure you got plenty of space it's crazy apparently also there are people who have been having some problems with it you need the windows anniversary edition and you need the latest patch for Windows 10 anniversary edition that just came out I believe in the past few days so if you don't have both of those it won't download or won't work but even people who have those are still having problems with downloads that either won't start or failing to finish the article here from gaming volts.com I originally had a tweaktown article here but it redirected me to some really shitty page it wasn't yeah the tweaktown link redirected you know I just I had there's a tweaktown article on this and I just had the article up and whatever ad was loading on the page was sending the entire page to a different site that was just an added Lord bloatware site says I'm disappointed so I had to switch to this one I've never heard of gaming bull for shame but you know what I've had this article up for a good 45 minutes and it hasn't redirected the page to something telling me I have a virus so that's nice anyway it's the little things this is the little things the night so yeah if you guys are having this issue and maybe there's few out there the article says resetting the windows cash can solve its doesn't always but you go to run and run WS reset that we reset the cash I personally downloaded it from the Windows Store myself I started up last night that's Wheaton about it when it was still a mystery but yeah 73.3 three gigs pretty substantial also I loaded it through the windows store not the Xbox app on Windows 10 so maybe that has something to do with it it seems like people are having more luck with it downloading see ya downloading directly from the Windows Store yeah cool that comes out later this I believe it's available everywhere on the 10th this is information I should have had for this story but there should be reviews coming out in just a couple days for it so cool people be able to talk about it and all that good stuff maybe we'll do a live stream of it there's perhaps it might be cool perhaps because multiplayer streaming might be available before the game actually launches possibly possibly yes we don't know where if so there's some potential follow our Twitter's guys because we're gonna try to do some stuff with that although there's still some stuff up in the air that we're not high percent sure about so I don't promise anything but follow our twitter is and we'll talk that if we do live streams or whatever we'll talk flare storm 99 I'm going to be checking my p.o box tomorrow guaranteed I'm going there so i will get anything that might be there that hasn't been gotten yet um alright movie I'm Induna you haven't done mail time in a while yeah it's been a couple weeks we got hard to tell though so it'll boards honestly i don't i don't have the p.o box listed very many places like it's not publicly i don't i don't want to get on any spam lists or anything like that if I can avoid it so it's only really verbally talked about and I usually talk about it in the in my monthly Q&A video right um but yeah zack vasquez thank you for your five dollar donation I'm glad you love the show motherboard doesn't support sli crossfire instead you have a gtx 970 should just sell my 970 get to RX for AES or should I buy a new motherboard and another 970 alright so it probably doesn't support sli because your lower s the lower pcie slot is probably a by 4 and not a by eight connection I I mean you'll be okay with two arcs for 80s but I wouldn't really recommend that I mean I like single card solutions honestly yeah thank you unless you're unless you're rocking the best card out there unless you like on a 1080 or tight next right now and you can't go any further without doing SLI I'd recommend possibly if you're going to sell the 970 just invest in a better single card if you're thinking about 2 40's maybe think about a ten seventy or something like that yeah probably better bet um but yes thank you for the donation all right next up this is random but random Pakal took all the good news stories today okay which it was a trending topic um on right so nike has self-lacing sneakers they're finally going on sale november 28th even though they're lates and it's 2016 now and not 2015 inspired of course by back to the future to michael j fox rocking his self-lacing sneakers let's see it in action they're pretty they're pretty sweet actually the the wired article the wired issue that just came out has a big article on this and just all the design and everything and I'm pretty a company like Nike in the level of the level of detail that they go into a something like this is absolutely insane yeah um granted their margins are very good on choose oh yeah that's why they can invest more in the development so these are called hyper adapt one point oh they will be available for experience and purchase not just purchasing but also experiencing starting on the twenty-eighth of November but sorry to anyone who's international only in select nike locations in the US pricing is unknown at the article said it's probably high 1 million dollars yeah probably really I'm what do you think would you guess 250 20 say 300 is the fried 3rd fret 250 300 probably bare minimum it's never before seen something that's like never before seen you can just and then like three special edition colours that are limited that are 500 bucks yeah don't know so I'm like some sir yeah this an internal cable system made from fishing line and a pressure sensor in the soul so you put your fit of your foot in and then cables tighten based on an algorithmic pressure equation and the fit can be adjusted with a pair of buttons near the tongue so it's pretty fancy that's pretty fancy all this technology so people don't have to tie their content yeah it's been since it's every time in I Larry well now I've had to tie my shoe so just like Jesus what kitty just I just leave my shoes tied all the time and I just slip out of them I feel like everyone does that don't they do you tie your shoes every time you put them like who has time for that I really I usually slip on so you're already tie they're usually pretty loose because I'm not a freakin Olympian runner yeah so like they don't need to be like super supportive or whatever but I guess if you're like super active and you're not complete yeah home home bodies or couch potatoes like we are then maybe it makes sense I was reading an article on this earlier actually they were saying that the future is for the the laces to actually restrict and contract and like and go back and forth based on like microseconds like as you're running like based on like the steps you're taking that's like the the long-term goal that Nike has in mind that is that it's constantly changing like as soon as you like run and then as soon as you stop running it's just like loosens or whatever because it's like okay you don't need it like that much support irreverent seems like a bit better use of the technology yes I'd writes more benefit rather than just I didn't have to tie my shoes yeah that's what I see this as it's like a precursor to what they really want to do the other option I was going to suggest is going with velcro artistic or just little crow a classic velcro this problem was solved in the 80s yeah all right finally ending with a couple YouTube YouTube yahoo articles yahoo has open sourced their machine learning porn filter but so there we go I like there i like i like the pornographic so innocent looking that's from getty images but thanks getting hum alright so this is an article about Yahoo's convolutional neural net or CNN no relation I have to say it's like you weren't interested in watching CNN before you thought knew it was about porn um but to be clear this is used for filtering of pornographic images but they've also open sourced the code a a caveat in the article quote from I believe someone from you two are from yahoo we do not provide guarantees of accuracy of output rather we make this available for developers to explore and enhance as an open source project so it's so so it's so like independent developers can have algorithms that filter porn yes so you can yeah you can you can get this code and basically you can use the machine learning to do filtration of stuff like images witter needs to hop on this and I've been to all about too many Fembots lately that would be nice that are just something that are looking to chat way too hard or it's open source you could get the code and build that yourself a nobody got time for that we don't know how to code Jerry we need to give this code to Jerry yes have Jerry used yahoo CNN code but it's Jerry he would inverse it and be like unfiltered ok that makes yer every porn that's my fancy that's my final bullet point oh is it is to use real fan girl um I'm on the same page with you to my are you I mean evil depending on who you ask I mean can we reverse this can we make it so that it filters out all the bad porn and we only have the highest pull the most premium best porn I was trying to low hanging fruit as well as you know the codes only available on github for now yes but soon it would also be important out there that's absolutely beautiful anyway so that's that's kind of fun last story though we're ending in a dark note you will all die also has to do with youth with Yahoo I keep almost saying YouTube Yeoh yahoo has been secretly scanning customer emails for US intelligence agencies oh no no this is a Reuters is it Reuters or Reuters perfect all right that's it all right readers Reuters it's just like neuter yeah oh yeah that makes sense reader yeah and where i got writers from is just really annoyed all right ah esther just to be clear this is uh articles based on three former employees and a fourth person apprised of the events who have talked to exclusively to reporters from reuters they have basically implicated you yahoo as there is they've said yahoo is secretly built a custom software program to search all of its customers incoming emails for specific information provided by US intelligence officials there's some vagueness in the article about certain details which either are unknown or unable to be provided which are a little scary but they compiled with a classified US government demand I'm sorry they complied with a classified US government demand so the government asked them and they said okay and yes are you at a beer no no you can't dress yeah go for no it's actually quickly yes yes yeah so the government asked they said yes is basically what happened they scan hundreds of millions of yahoo mail accounts it is not known what information intelligence officials were looking for only that they wanted yahoo to search for a set of characters again pretty broad and vague what data yahoo may have it over if any is unknown it's likely that the NSA or FBI had approached other internet companies with the same demand since this isn't usually the type of thing that would just go to specifically Yahoo however Google and alphabet were both contacted by Reuters and Microsoft and I'm sorry google / alphabet and Microsoft were both contacted both of them said they had not participated there I think both of them said we didn't like we have no knowledge of such you know inquiry and if we had there's no way we would have complied with it yeah hopefully they're telling the truth but yeah there it is that's just it's kind of freaky and it definitely does not bode well for Yahoo to have this kind of information come out because they're not exactly doing the best for instance last month I think we might have mentioned this on the show at some point state sponsored hackers gained access to 500 it was only came to light that state sponsored hackers had gained access to 500 million customer accounts in 2014 maybe this is a response to that maybe yeah it's interesting because sometimes we don't know the full story yeah like we only know some we thought read the heavy but this was a response from that it meant you went from having state sponsored hackers being able to read your emails to States Punk sponsored hackers and the US government which makes everything better yeah and then finally at the same time right now Yahoo is trying to complete a deal to sell its core business to verizon communications for four point eight billion dollars who knows this will affect the share price and verizon also a company with a glowing track record of oh yeah humanitarianism and moral all things all of those good things yes but anyway guys fun that is all for my half of the show cool shall we do some johnson shadow yes we should or anyone who might have picked up something from either of our stores i know i can say quick thank you to Nathan Thank You donation sir thanks for saying you like our content we
