screamed at which so we know we know things are okay yeah don't need no manual theoretically possibly maybe tissue you know what I also did I ever did we ever update the like the the bitrate or anything update it I'm sure it's fine okay hey everyone take a look and it looks like we're live so hi guys and welcome this is awesome hardware a live show it's very special and we do it every week Tuesday evenings 5:30 p.m. Pacific streams to twitch.tv slash awesome hardware as well as our YouTube channel right now we're streaming to my channel Paul's hardware this is episode 148 so go for about an hour ish or so on my channel and then we'll switch to Kyle's channel when we do that link is in the description thank you very much to all of you guys who are joining us live turn up your volume if you can't hear us we attempted to do a quick fix but this is about as good as it's gonna get I think are we out of focus or is that we might do us just slightly out of focus or is it gonna do the punch n thing they cheese cheese it's not punching in over here though I'm not punching in all right cool okay a little looks good okay okay where was I uh yes so was dream live and we talk about technology and we also drink beer cerveza so feel free to join us if you're of age and drink responsibly and all that good stuff the cheers and thank you for being here and we are quickly going to plug our stores if you like our content that we produce or you just want something to wear and you want to be high quality then check out this new print look at this ox blood it's not ox blood shirt ox blood yes this shirt is soaked in genuine ox blood well it better be so I'm told though I might not be the case I feel like that might be animal animal cruelty or something like that but it is a different color it's sort of a dark maroon and John says it's like its favorite color now so rusty vibe yeah yeah it's kind of rusty I like it get your rusty thumbscrew beyond that I am sold out of mouse pads and desk mats but I do have more of those coming in in another couple weeks so don't worry those will be restocked I also got bottle openers all that good stuff Kyle's store did I say my store pulsar Burnett if you want to shop at my store counselors bit with tech slash store yep it's not the rip game pad shirt yeah on sale and then we've got a couple bottle openers with the you know the classic classic designs that you guys are familiar with hats hoodies mugs glasses all good stuff all the things so thanks to you guys for supporting us and if you buy during the show we will give you a shout out at the end of the half yes we will violate you with our Johnson's I think that's about that's about all I that's right yeah that was good smooth solid oh yeah my sister thinks we're on top of things I managed my show might not be super long today but it is gonna be super high quality so let's get right into the news accounts tech news generic news we throw it all into this category and first off an article from videocards dot-com and this one's actually pretty legit because it's actually stuff that's available for sale right now but MD has made certain they've taken actions for better for worse some some actions more more effective than others to try to get graphics cards into the hands of gamers they had this sort of weird program that they did last year when they launched the original rides and stuff to let you get a bundle with like didn't you have to get a they can get a monitor but there's only one specific monitor and it was like a thousand dollar monitor yeah it just it wasn't it wasn't people didn't didn't really jump on it this new thing though is combat creats and these are actually available for sale I linked one of them in the description of the video so feel free to click on that or you can go over to the video cards article but combat crates basically you get a motherboard processor and a graphics card all in one box I'm not assuming they have different configurations of hardware yeah it's not like that crazy or anything like that but here is the here's here's this combat crape bundle with the horizon 5 1600 you get a you get a Radeon rx 580 and this is the 8 gig it's not it's the 8 gig 580 that's good and then you get an MSI 350 350 tomahawk and for motherboard all for 550 dollars this was actually 600 bucks when when video cards did the articles so the price has even come down a little bit more it's pretty good you know if you calculate the cost of the two other products that are readily available being the rise in 5 1600 it's about 170 H dollars hundred and eighty h dollars depending on where you buy it right now right motherboard will cost you about 85 bucks so that means that you're only paying an extra say 30 30 40 dollars well you're basically paying somewhere in the 250 to $300 range for an 8 gig rx 580 it's really good just kind of like read almost like retail price yeah vaguely they said that we're calling retail very good you don't count that you also have to buy a CPU and motherboard which are now last gen since risin two has come out so there is speculation in the article and possibly valid speculation that's the fact that they are pairing these with last-gen thousand series stuff which are still perfectly viable I mean there's nothing wrong with the 1600 but you know if I was buying right now I'd probably go to the 2600 versus 1600 yeah they're trying to get rid of all their old supply yeah that'd make room for the new stuff be 350 tomahawk motherboard at least from MSI I checked a couple places didn't have the most fabulous reviews so it's not exactly the highest on board UEFI issues or just you know reviews I didn't I didn't read through all of them yeah they were just new a the new way customers didn't think too much of it racist against you know Native Americans this clearly thing what they were the Native Americans that associated nope now I'm curious tomahawk oh the tomahawk it's a really bad joke you're right I didn't you shouldn't feel bad for not getting my terrible joke cuz I heard tomahawk I thought of like the missile okay multiple ways that could have gone okay there I'll keep that in mind next time there are what the missile approach you could you could do that I mean take that angle I'm sure there'll be other opportunities less controversial this will come up again equally controversial there are also bundles with the rise in seven 1700s so if you want to eight core you can do that too who knows if more of these are gonna come out sir if it's just gonna be a short-lived thing until they run out of stock of the 1000 series CPUs and 300 series motherboards but since we're always trying to give you guys some ideas of where you can buy reasonably priced computer hardware and more specifically graphics cards being a difficult thing to find right now maybe that will help some of you guys out actually reasonably priced bundles yeah good to see okay next up story from an antic this is about Lenovo and their new series of laptops like yes bow quietly quietly listed according to this article and these are the old-school Lenovo think pants the the the design that has not changed for quite some time but for lots of people that's fine because this is their business design and people like to get business work done with it now as long as you've forgiven Lenovo for superfish and all that stuff back in the day never I never have you know I'm still on the fence about it never buy it then perhaps one of these laptops might be interesting for you now the interesting thing about these is they're based on AMD processors actually aimed EAP use and in fact some mobile ap use don't seem to be available on the desktop horizon 727 or 2d with Vega 10 Verizon 5 2500 you with Vega 8 or arisin 320 200 you with Vega 3 so a few different varieties there these are also going to feature a discreet trusted platform module 2.0 chip I don't know what like I'm vaguely know what the original trusted platform module thing was it's a business thing it's business security that's what it's there for yeah there's apparently a new discrete version of it I don't know what that means if you if you work in IT you probably do and it's more buts it's it's important for IT and security security is this used good up to 32 gigs of DDR for memory via to som slots 2400 mega transfers per second speculated by the article but that seems reasonable storage 512 gig PCIe nvme MDOT - SSD or of course since these are laptops and there's lots of different variants of them 502 gig hard drive 1 terabyte hard drive or combo SSD and hard drive the e 485 has a 14 inch screen the e 585 has a 15.6 inch screen and there's actually a couple difference oh look you can flip it and flip it backwards like that I like how much thinner the workstation you know targeted lenovo laptops are oh yeah and they're very there they're pretty thin they're not like ridiculously thin like you think they're gonna fall no but they're catching up to like the sleek form factor or like the gaming laptops and stuff but you got it you get a sex listing of specs here so as you can see 14 and 15 inch I was thinking that the lower resolution was just gonna be the 14 inch but actually apparently either size screen is available with either this is a low resolution to meet 1366 by 768 sat arable original it kinda makes sense that a 14-inch like you can get away with it if it's reasonably priced but I feel like 1920 by 1080 is really the way to go baseline standard right now it is an IPS screen though and then a few more specs listed here about like the GPU that's integrated and and all that kind of thing down here at the bottom no price okay no price listed here so I was kind of sad about that I was expecting probably these well you're reasonably priced an ant X says that the affordable and the low-end ones there will be affordable laptops prior by the Rison 320 200 APU and featuring hard drives along with HD displays that will probably retail for 600 or less Wow it's not bad so that's pretty that's pretty cheap that's really good so yeah to keep an eye on these I I mean I was I've always been a big fan Lenovo I like recommended them to people until the superfish crap yeah but I don't I don't know him two laptops all that often anyway so okay moving on oh and they have USB 3.1 tape see that's good Amazon is apparently working on a robot home robot a home robot has a robot to go like in your home like a sex sex robot picture get bigger there we go like a super hot sexy robot no no unfortunately there is no picture of this rumored robot so don't be don't be confused by this picture that they've used for the TechCrunch article this is an example say it's pretty convincing robot this is just like a ball dude this is well that's Jeff that's that's gesture-based mr. Vsauce right things us and besos besos bit bit Bayes us no it's too many potential pregnancy is a man of mystery yes article sourced from Bloomberg but the codename of the robot building program at Amazon Nesta Oh desta I was gonna say sounds a lot less intimidating than Skynet they they are working on it though and and although there's pictures of a completely different robot that's made by Boston Dynamics there are no other pictures that's what you want to see me shot when you hear an article about Amazon making a robot you want to see a picture of said robot but we're gonna have to sate you guys with pictures of spot mini which is what Jeff was was walking along with their latest spot mini for you guys but Amazon wants to start trying this robot which is not being pictured here on screen again this is a different robot that you're seeing but I'm just showing that to you to give you a visual aid I want to start trying it with Amazon employees this year planning to launch it to consumers as early as 2019 let's give you a more what an exciting time to be an Amazon employee that's gif hey you should get this killer robot and you get to test it out it's a scarier stuff you live by the end of the trial then we'll we'll push it to retail this is this is the spot many pretending to be a velociraptor yeah this freaked me the shit out when I saw it earlier showed it to me this is this is not something to to be excited about the vesta project at amazon has been rumored for a while and according to the article has been in the works for several numbers for a number of years oh god is just now starting to take off and job listings from amazon have recently gone up for robotics experts with titles like software engineer robotics just when you thought it was safe so there's the robots working together - good lord reminds me of the raptor scene in Jurassic Park obviously they have a high of mine they can work together I think we've shown that clip here on the show before but yeah Jeff apparently likes robots he's been spotted with the spot many amazon has acquired a few robotics companies as well the vesta project itself is being overseen by lab 126 the lab at amazon amazon R&D center at center i should say that created the echo and the fire devices so those were successful who knows maybe the robot will be too but they've been trying to make robots for quite some time does that mean the robot will also come with a remote just like that just like the fire it probably means that the robot will always be listening to you and will pick up random conversations we be able to learn from their little chairs amazon suggested feet or whatever great alright that's all for my introductory tech news segment glorious now that we're all freaked out and what do we have next next is sword fight well your fight says put my PC but we do need beer don't we we deal the old dry here man a sobering moment right now not a fan doesn't feel like doesn't feel like awesome Hardware doesn't feel like us you always know how to bring us back you know that and be careful I might have been jostled around a bit I've been I've been in I've been in therapy and we've been we've been learning about you know come from being comfortable with bottles and you know the guy I see is really good no you're not you're sweating a little bit yeah just a single bead hands are shaking but still seem you know yep I just can't make eye contact with the bottle as they do it because I almost did make icon well you don't have a glass ready I do I'm totally a I'm totally on it look at this we go didn't didn't didn't jostle around there's my web Redemption for the day all right yes so for certified today I have poured myself too much that's fine I'll pour a little four more in a year glass it's totally fine even when you're Heather Heather's driving you so true that's yeah that's probably all right for swordfight we Kyle and I argue about a question usually it's nobody don't it's very serious question yes we do we asked you guys that same question and you guys can vote in a straw poll and we see whether our arguments sway your opinions because obviously we're really good at arguing about things for today I have an existential question and this was actually brought on by an excellent video that went up which is currently that's gone up it's number six on trending now two people maybe or not to Pete maybe you've already seen it this videos by cgp CGP grey who I don't I don't know anything about CGP grey he makes really good YouTube videos famous animator on YouTube does animation he has a very unique narration style as well but this is the fable of the dragon tyrant and it's actually that very unique and different art style to what he typically does it's very well done did he hang up the dragon tyrant or resistant example we'll jump straight to the credits I'm not gonna show you guys the whole thing it's just really well done though here's Hughes who actually did everything the original story by Nick Bostrom illustration by Newt Holland animations by Peter Voss music by David Rees and adaptation and Mary shouldn't I say okay so it's so story get tail now spoiler alert you guys should watch this it's a 30 minute video it's really well done and it's just one of those videos you watch where you like just like wow this it's it's very well done video that's well narrated and put together than everything but the video itself to paraphrase - since Kyle hasn't hasn't seen it we're gonna argue about this right now it's about a town or like a kingdom and then there's Dragon and the dragon lives on top of the mountain and dragons indestructible undefeatable they can't do anything about this dragon and the dragon demands a thousand citizens go and be sacrificed to the dragon to eat everyday so they try to defeat the dragon decide they can't and they start appeasing the dragon by sending the dragon a thousand people to die every single day but then time goes by and they improve technology over time and they start to reel some people start to realize we could actually defeat the dragon but other people have become so entrenched and so used to living with the dragon that they actually think like no we deserve the dragon and there are different interpretations obviously it's a story so different for different people it can be interpreted in different ways from what I have read about it it's mostly it's about death and it's about death in modern times where we have gone from having a life expectancy of you know 40 50 years old to much older than that in developed countries and we have the technology and the science to be able to potentially push off death and not have to die but some people actually think that we shouldn't and do that so we're gonna decide that we're gonna argue that right now this is a fairly heavy sword fight super sweet Jesus should we accept the inevitability of death were you guys expecting that we would go we would be just headlong right into that right there okay I was not here's the question you guys can argue can go ahead and click the link and go over to strawpoll we accept Thank You self for posting the link in chat cell processing our excellent moderators oh we love yo so feel free of course to see if I can do that too geez I wasn't ready to answer this was it too much oh man those making a bitly link thank you so I'm just gonna have to bust out my most serious response ever right now I know blow everyone away you know the secret weapon that I've been hiding all this time it's gonna come out right now just was wasn't ready to dispatch it so soon but no I actually don't have a great answer um should we accept it you know what I think we should not you try to live forever because life is no can I argue that we can accept death but we're able to prolong its inevitable arrival no you have yes or no okay options are yes okay all right no we should we should we should we should be able to live forever if we have the option to if the technology allows it Society allows it then it should be done because why not keep existing if you have the option to death has never been our choice historically and so if we have a choice all of a sudden then why not keep that as a viable option and sure you can you can say that you know morally or ethically it's not sound but that's just you sticking to your old traditional roots and being familiar and and complacent with the existing laws of nature but if you can look past that and break through to the next level of what life has to offer then it opens up a lot of doors it opens up many possibilities that would never before be achievable can you open that door for people cuz I can open like literal doors for people and I can continue opening literal doors for people if I can just stay alive forever I could be like the infinite door man and and be like an infinite door holder me like right this way you sir all the doors that you can open with this new new lease on life are our infinite by definition quite literally and you would be a fool not to take that opportunity you person you mortal is that a mere mortal bastard I suggesting that you are any immortal maybe I am this question is actually I'm still breathing on conclusion flight it could very well be immortal okay let me let me know you know I can understand Kyle I can understand how from your fairly limited perspective the prospects of living forever might have some appeal for you but if I have learned anything from the why light series it is that those among us who do live the immortal life eventually become weary and tired of this world because when you have an unlimited amount of anything as we all learn from economics there is what is known as diminishing marginal utility diminishing marginal utility means the more you have of something the less valuable that thing is and that is why the brevity of life verily is what makes life so sweet this beer for example I could finish drinking and then there could be an unlimited amount but you know what I probably get pretty sick of that figure after a while and eventually I'd be like what's the point and really that's what it comes down to if you never die is that eventually you get to the point where you like you know what I'm just sick of all this people are stupid there's sand and it gets everywhere and and I just you know there's no moment you know all the good craft beers were bought up by like big-name breweries and now like that still tastes kind of the same but it's just not it feels kind of empty inside you know all right so there we go very depressing trust me guys that's the I don't think I don't think we win either way no we did were posts we're screwed we're totally screwed okay all right I should have just gone for what does inevitability mean yeah 46 people would have agreed with you there Wow you win though Cal you win but no you win what you should accept it yes oh yes you would I won I won all right yeah I could have just like I'm you going I'm glad that there's so many nihilists out there or I don't know what else doesn't matter maybe maybe just maybe just French philosophy that's French for the world let's move on cool that's warm it's why we tackled that topic turn this fan on that'll surely prevent anyone from forging an elixir for life yeah there's gonna be a noise now cuz I just turned the fan on yeah that's getting warm in here sorry guys I haven't bought a good fan good quiet fan yet for the office I will soon we're going with the Lian Li fashion fan so your pets say a fascist in a fashion van a fascist fan okay not cool final segment for my half of the show today is tech of the day after tomorrow yes indeed technology the let's Kyle have an ice cream cone probably eat the ice cream cone oh of course can't early okay thank you Ruben's was delicious real freakin guns this is exciting cuz cuz Rogan's railguns you guys sound like you're saying real guns no real real real good yes army is developing ribbons for use in in the army and stuff and this this this one also has just really cool video I can play right here from the peloton Atomics electromagnetics and indeed general atomics electromagnetics is where the pentagon's defense ordinance technology consortium has awarded a contract I'm sorry general atomics more specifically there the developer of the US Navy's railgun system this is a slow-motion shot this is a projectile slow-motion watch an impact ah Wow graphics on that awesome I feel quick contract specifies the conch the construction of railgun prototypes that could be used by the army in a ground combat role the rail guns involve using powerful electron and sorry powerful electrical currents to generate a row of magnetic fields between two rails that's the name railgun objects placed between the rails are accelerated parallel to the rails to tremendous philosophy velocities they can send objects flying at speeds of up to Mach 6 whoo what's that damn but like six times yes I believe making sure there's not a logarithmic skit maybe I make it faster than the speed of light amazing anyway there are two potential uses that the army might be seeking these out for one is interesting but slightly more boring which is more long-range work lobbying projectiles to extremely long ranges like um since it can shoot really fast basically like yeah like a like a missile like destructive objects or like mock for impact right on target I love slow-mo Mach 4 it's super awesome impact speed equal to operational impact at 35 kilometers 35 kilometers what I'm saying what what were you asking so you could like put a potato in it like a potato cannon I don't I think like the region which I think the projectile has to anything that's in there has to projectile needs to be able to be accelerated by electromagnets so it needs to be metal or magnetic I think but let's not get too deep here or of it revealed my actual lack of knowledge about this Oh compared to what I've written down in my notes my notes from the articles I was playing did you think I had like assembling encyclopedic knowledge of this is helping to exploit you all of you I mean I've only all it I've only just learned about the rails in the railgun I can't I kind of knew about that before but it's in the second the second potential it so that it's a long range right you know you got a far back it can shoot really far but you know their long range which is useful it's you know you want more exciting the prior missile the cool one number two using it as a hypervelocity gun on a main battle tank yeah like a badass tank with the railgun mounted on top I'm pretty sure that they have those in certain video game yeah probably like a command & Conquer type game they must have real guns so they don't mean using it like on a tank to attack it they mean literally I'm using it mounting it real because I talk about ground uses for these yes the tank mounted railgun according to the article would likely dominate the land fields a land battlefield of the future smashing through even the take thickest of enemy armor and impressive ranges ring ranges is they still need to reduce the footprint though they have actually reduced the size of a functional railgun by about eight times they made it eight times smaller but they still need to shrink it down even further in order to fit on top of a tank and the current barrels quote-unquote the actual rails I guess that they use to accelerate the projectile right now only currently lasts for a handful of shots because they get because I destroy I don't know if that's just vibration their pressure were friction there's no probably wouldn't be friction but I don't know I don't know if they're magnetism just the projectile goes out so fast that there's a blast wave of Awesomeness that destroys the rails behind it I'm not sure sounds legit but yeah the army wants rails that lasts for 1,000 or more uses 1000 plus that's definitely more than a handful yeah and in case you guys are wondering my inspiration for talking about this story to Dave the railgun here's some footage from quake 2 hey I'm gonna hear play quake 2 groundbreaking first in a while shooter on PC hi quake - I played back when I was at USC and we had a t1 connection in in the like late 90s which was in Sainz really good very late nineties the very end of the 90s don't don't do math and figure out how old I am he's like old but yeah quake 2 was awesome and we played it a lot and this is cute too this is deathmatch deathmatch one map but let me figure there alright so here's the real gun and I just like water cannon I like how the real gun looks it's like a spiral II blue thing it looks like it's got like an instantaneous shot across the map the gun itself looks pretty wicked ends I just I remember I had a few like epic battles with the real gun where I was like just just on target with it and and did really well but quick - real gun MLG back in the day MLG paul MLG yeah was never quite that okay moving on Raylan more Tech is the day after tomorrow China we've talked about China doing pretty shady stuff like like their social their social score program which is like black mirror black mayors what everyone keeps comparing it to but they're actually doing this too which is maybe a cool thing or maybe not I don't know it depends depends on how you look at it and whether you think playing God is okay and whether you think the impacting the climate and one area might affect another area but China is planning to create artificial rain over an area three times the size of Spain and they're using modern technology in order to do this I don't think there's a map there's no real map on this but north of Tibet basically is what they're looking at this is China's latest weather manipulation project and it's being reported by the South China Morning Post the the actual hardware they're using is solid fuel burners drones planes artillery and a network of weather satellites covering vast waves of the Indian Ocean is its way this is weights squads Suarez SWAT vast swath is here in Mexico it's Suarez more fan okay where was I yes their aim is to create a distributed system capable of combating climate change and increasing rainfall in the region by up to ten billion cubic meters it's a lot of water that's approximately seven percent of China's annual water consumption every year they will place thousands of chambers burning solid fuels on the Tibetan Plateau that produced silver iodide when lit silver iodide acts as a condensate for water medical molecules in the air so water magic molecules gather around the iodide amount of molecules thank you he fucked up the word molecules three times in a row all the molecules they same three times in a row you said molecules incorrectly molecules he said molecules not acute oh I just I was just rolling the L it's a it's a it's a it's just like it's a it's from my native tongue obviously I have an accent Kyle it's very offensive of you to make fun of that but maybe I'm just misunderstanding you I can't hear through your thick actor to get through this okay this is important information the pairing thing to know can be their molecules without China and their and their cloud seeding project that's what it's called it's called cloud cloud seeding sounds like that's after you have after you have sex with the cloud cloud seeding okay sexual term yes obviously this video is gonna get flagged now so yeah this creates rain or snow to fall as water watcher molecules condensate on the iodide molecules now I thought it was interesting that this is specifically the place with where they're putting these thousands of burning of chambers burning solid fuels on the Tibetan Plateau doesn't sound healthy now I have actually been to Tibet I went to Lhasa and I'm not gonna get into the China Tibet thing right now but maybe the people in Tibet might be like hey maybe you don't want to put all these burning containers all over our Tibetan Plateau move I don't know but honestly if it's a pet and people were to say that China would probably be like we don't care we don't care what you say I mean we were big China dick around and China never exactly I mean metaphorically yeah that's what I was and also our Dalai Lama is the is the right one and yours sucks now there's more than I'm giving distracted them okay so yearly monsoon in monsoon seasons the monsoon winds from the Indian Ocean sweeps north towards the Himalayan mountains real-time data collected from a network of 30 weather satellites will ensure the burning of fuel coincides with optimal conditions for binding over the monsoon water mists burning a burner network or the burner network of all those burning containers which cost $8,000 each by the way will be assisted by a cloud seeding done by drones planes and even artillery 500 of those burning burning burning chambers have currently been erected at a cost again of 5/8 I'm sorry $8,000 each you said around oh they are yes I did so they've invested a decent amount of money into this China has been known to do some some weather manipulation projects in the past including surrounding them 2008 Olympic Games and they've had some success with them so it's not like this is some pipe dream that they're gonna be like we're doing all this stuff to effect the weather and it's actually like you know people can't actually do that it does work to some extent and really tests according to the article have been somewhat effective so we'll see how it actually works now the big larger questions apart from the potential impact of the dependent people I already mentioned or like does causing more rain in this area cause less rain in other areas China's stated goal here is to combat climate change which is an honorable which is which is a noble goal and in my view and China has to their credit been taking many steps in and the recent months in last couple last few years to combat climate change but this was just one of those projects it's like wow that's pretty crazy and possibly something to keep an eye on see if it's successful see if it actually causes much problems elsewhere sounds like a good premise tolling like a like a movie for some reason I'm reminded of of tailspin remember the old days I'm just constantly reminding people that I'm old remember meatspin tailspin from the Disney Afternoon afternoon cartoon tales Oh with like duck tales type yeah it was in there with duck tales short he had blue and kick cloud kick cloud kicker and stuff like that but I feel like there was a plot line yeah in tail spin where they tried to do some weather manipulation stuff it's pretty advanced for a kids show it's a really cool show blue head that has is he had his amphibious plane you know he could land on water and stuff like that and he was a pilot and then kit was like this young orphan but you know he was he was he was sassy right yeah got to be sassy and then he would go and he had this airfoil thing which was like a little it was like a it's like a boomerang thing and he would he would collapse down and he could it's this thing doesn't exist in real life and he was just like expand it and then he would get like like he was right it like he was skiing behind us behind a boat he would get one he'd get a rope coming off of the plane and he would ride that airfoil like over the clouds and stuff so his name is kit cloud kicker very fortuitous that that was his name yeah because he had ventually ended up doing that which was so he was kicking the clouds literally but he was surfing him getting a little off off subject here I want to find out more about this show yes let's talk about one more thing here on tech of the day after tomorrow okay turn the fan back down again - I know it's just warm again so quickly he took his airfoil yes that was kids all these computers lights all right uh energy harvesting yams Kyle energy yeah misting yams it'd be the hot new thing that didn't make any sense Marin's yarns yeah that's a real RN carrying very distinct difference there between yarns and yam but I am but I'm looking forward to energy harvesting yams - I've never had a yarn that will be something in the future I would look forward to alright so energy harvesting yarns what's the potential here twister on they have a cool name twister on there's a transformer name twister on yarns there would be a transformer name twister on who would be built out of these yeah and he would transport children to move to a ball of yarn a ball of yarn or like a big like a big a cat with a ball of yarn he would just shoot balls of yarn out of his butt this is exciting because it is an actual application for carbon nanotubes yay which are whole cylinders of carbon that are ten thousand times smaller and dynamic diameter than a human hair but small they take the nanotubes and they twist spin them into high-strength lightweight yams yarns lightweight lightweight yarns I really want to eat yams now as seen as seen here in this picture the yarns are made highly elastic by twisting them so they coil like an over twisted rubber bands to generate electricity the yarns must be either submerged in or coated with an ionic Li conducting material or electrolyte and that could be something as simple as like pour Gatorade on it yeah like like salt water for example but I'm imagining there's different conducting materials that they're testing they're fundamentally super capacitors so when the carbon nanotube nanotubes yarn is inserted into an electrolyte bath the yarns are charged by the electrolytic cells no external battery or voltage is needed so stretching the coiled twister on yarn yarns 30 times a second in their tests generated 250 watts per kilogram of peak electrical power when normalized in to the harvesters weight I don't know about the harvesters weight and I'm not sure they're talking about a person or what they're but I'm sure that's when they just you stretch them a lot like there and movements stretching just twisting generates an electrical church a twister on yarn weighing less than a housefly could power a small LED which lit up each time the yarn was stretched hmm I see so I'm imagining like like a cool this is gonna be remember it you remember hypercolor shirts no you're dating yourself again aren't you Barrett hypercolor shirts anyone happen chat I'm a young millennial and I have no idea what you're talking I don't even I've never even heard that term before ah geez what else can I say in one key field Wow tie-dye like pictures look like they're from the early nineties or something like that hey every color shirts where they were shirts it would change color based on temperature ah so it would look really cool because you could roll shirts yeah thermal thermal shirt is bubbling reactive shirts look here's a picture of them being demonstrated a Saved by the Bell so there you go but yeah it was cool cuz you could let you could like put your hand on it and do like a handprint because your hand is warm right and whatever but it they it was a fad diet out quickly because you realize like it just changes color under your armpits when you sweat point being though the reason I bring this out in pink pepper is that the next big fad like hyper color which is obviously so popular that you don't even know what the hell it is is gonna be these shirts right and then you move around in the shirt and it powers up battery it powers up LEDs that are on the shirt and and then the shirt lights up I guess there are already shirts like that that do that but they require a battery source these are just gonna be self powered which I'm excited about so but I mean if it's based on stretching and you like we're wearing pants made of this material and like you did the splits then really the only thing that would light up is your crotch and you'd be like sort of faced with the hyper color pit-stained dilemma again well I think I don't think it's like there's only electricity generated in a specific area like it like electricity can be homey distribute the material is this is a super capacitors I see you could wire the LEDs to like your yeah it could collect the energy in one spot and transmit it to a different area where it would I'm exempt do work and light a light up a light or something like that and just do some morning stretches and you'll have a very illuminated outfit that's what I'm that's why I'm gonna invest in this seems very practical so researchers so that the twister on harvesters into a shirt normal breathing stretched the yarn and generate generated an electrical signal so it's like you won't even have to like move much you just breathe another use case they deployed this in the sea in the ocean a ten centimeter long yarn weighing 1 milligram or about the weight of a mosquito was attached between a balloon and a sinker that rested on the seabed so when waves arrived the balloon had rise and stretched the yarn up to 25% thereby generating measured electricity so another potential practical use case you get a bunch of this yarn throw it in the ocean get electricity I mean you could light it to do it so you do what they do with the buoy and stuff like that sure there you go all right I'm sure that'll find its way into heaven soon yep okay that is pretty much all of the they'll be useful relevant stuff I have to talk about today cool so let's quickly go over any of the people who have made donations thank you guys for donating and chat and starting with Scott Dilbeck 6.66 cents years thanks Scott and Roush wire five Canadians hey guys if you missed my tweet that eBay 6600 K was a bust but now I have an excuse to send it to the CPU graveyard or have you to check if it's dead Andrew and my experience of CPUs are dead they're dead if you put it into a motherboard and it's not starting up then as long as you know the motherboard works and the memory you're using works it's probably the CPU yeah I would think if you bought that from eBay that you could like I mean was it sold as is can you do you have any recompense you're there like go back and return it or something like that yeah I'll do that it's not working possible also check your BIOS update sometimes your system won't boot or you won't get any sort of video signal if your BIOS isn't up-to-date just just started out there alright next we have something from I can't pronounce all in Japanese characters that's Chinese so Chinese sorry cuz it's five five Hong Kong Hong Kong Hong Kong yinz so thank you whoever sent that thank you for the Hong Kong money you're probably from Australia or something read 110 Australia's speak of the devil what's the best GPU just what's the best GPS cube not right now but in history based on what it brought to the market affordability how long it lasted for the buyer or any metric history can judge the GPU as best it's probably up for debate yeah and it also depends on the metrics that you're looking at there yeah bang for the buck overall performance performance per watt or what longevity in the market yeah just PS you know how long was it how long was it supported and if you know how hard is it the best yeah how long was it supported by the manufacturer and kept receiving updates like you know right I mean right now I'd say the best gaming GPU is the 1080i yeah usually the 80 the xx abt eyes or X atti cards tend to be the top performers from Nvidia in the last couple of years there's also like dual GPUs that have come out years prior we haven't seen one for a while but those have been pretty beefy in terms of just raw horsepower didn't get really hot but again it really depends on what kind of metrics you're looking at I would I would just bring up all the graphics cards that I've owned because I like to think that must taste they made all the hardware agents right yes the horse as desired gtx 260 corset core core 216 before my tests huge 770 900 gtx yeah honestly that's a that's a very very open question so it's hard to save right now so for right now that's in a UTI yeah it's been around for a it's been around for a while 2016 true yeah still hasn't been replaced a long reign with that cod BV tchau tchau leave me child with the $10 I haven't seen you in her in a while I haven't seen you in a minute DV just while doing ret you know Richard two of you know that I still rule and support you guys please keep at the good work I probably won't be able to catch Kyle half so be nice and share power don't be a dick don't be a dick DB says don't be a dick Thank You TV I will I'm sure he will abide by your requests I'll be watching you closely right next to me every 67 37 cents Paul how's the tesla powerwall coming along that's a good question I was working on a video my next video in that ongoing saga and intended to post that actually intended to post that yesterday but delays I intended to post it earlier today but I don't like to post it like right up against awesome hardware so I'm waiting I'm going to post that tomorrow so tomorrow probably mid morning there will be an updated part to the Tesla installation long story short they were supposed to install the solar and they decided that my roof needed to be replaced first so there's more details on that but because of that the solar installation has been delayed but that is scheduled for next week so yeah I do have an update on it still not completed but it's coming along thank you for your question thank you for your donation very exciting Robert F $10 says before combat great story I was going to ask if I would if I would get a worthwhile boost in performance going from a 9370 with 16 gigs ddr3 ram and a Radeon 380 if I get a rise in 1600 X and 8 gigs ddr4 memory your speeds gonna matter a lot more than your capacity I mean eight to 16 Mikey will give you a some sort of boost but it depends on your ddr4 speed too if you're talking about Rison I'd say the increase that you're looking at at the 9370 is a there's a piledriver one of those right I believe so yeah it's one of the I don't know I stopped paying attention to AMD's CPU lunches before rising before before Isaac well because they came with a piledriver then excavator and them whatever and they were all just really slight derivations of the earlier stuff and you had big improvements in whatever and I just sort of stopped carrying so right yes 1600 X is a huge it's a big old jump from the 9370 or your bad series of CPUs so you know I'd say it's worth it make sure you get a motherboard that has four dimm slots so your 8 gig kit that you're buying right now I'm assuming you're buying a 2 by 4 gig kit that you can drop in to buy another 2 by 4 gig kit or a 2 by a cake it in there because because you will want more than 8 gigs eventually but yeah I can understand getting by with 8 for right now while prices are high JC MP technology services $10 Paul please joined floatplanes so I can unsubscribe from high and make better use of company funds yes I write off the subscription okay I do not approve of this donation I don't think Linus or Luke or any of them watch the live show so they probably but I am like I'm like two weeks late on signing up for floatplane they talk to I talk to Linus like the I've got you and everything I have just been completely distracted and doing other things so yes I am planning and intending to and probably very soon will be joining floatplane so you guys will be able to subscribe to me they're probably fun cuz it's lonely right right now for me there's no one else well Ida said he was disappointed with something about being disappointed with this the current performance it was like we really need to beef up the creator's on floatplanes Bryce van der knit 10 Australia's hey guys ever Thermaltake p5 case with an ROG Strix ex 370 board is there a way to mount the i/o shield that you can think of as there is no way to clip in like a conventional case because you're just like floating there I oh she does the thermaltake p5 it's like you know it's just like that wall right it's just so would you need why would you need the IO shield yeah I mean I've shields really there it's just mean care to block the air holes so that you can have directional airflow right please - sure case and since that case is designed to really just be completely open and not have the need for that type of air flow I think your only choices are somehow just like glue it on there outside if you really wanna be there for some reason though why would you need it or that's what I'm curious about or upgrade to one of these new motherboards accessibility because the new hotness now is the built-in and IO shield asus did it a couple of their high-end boards and now it's starting to trickle down more and more to the lower end boards gigabytes got enough on a couple of their new x4 70 boards that I've seen so again that's good luck thank you the brace El Jefe review heavy $5.00 hey guys Oh what up dude Paul how's that Tesla power hey coming along Kyle the smart speaker test with Gramps was awesome cheers man okay your question has already been answered so thank you for your $5 it has and thanks for watching this video stay tuned to my channel tomorrow for that video no one no one like it's this is like the grandpa video that I posted recently is like the lowest-performing video based on views that I've posted in like years your grandpa video yes oh no it's like it's terrible it has like 25,000 views in the last you know 16 hours or whatever but if you look alike - just like ratio it's like 99.5% likes what you saw looks like everyone loves the video but no one is watching it which is frustration people will just give it a chance like yeah because more people should see this that's because it deviates you know pretty pretty pretty heavily from like the typical PC hardware content but doesn't mean it's a bad video you guys check it out if you haven't yet thanks so Jefe appreciate it man clint Flippo 20 bucks happy Thursday my dudes it's Tuesday but we still appreciate all the money you're giving you know for 20 bucks you can you can make this whatever day you want and we'll go along with it happy freakin Thursday to you Clint Thank You Man Frank these five dollars how many watts or heat does a 120 millimeter AIO push-pull setup dissipate I have an i7 8700 K max clock ITX case Frank that's not vary based on the a IO itself the thickness of the radiator the quality and speed of the fan you know the static pressure of the fan the density of the radiator fins the speed of the pump it's also gonna vary based on your platform itself - since Intel's TDP ratings for the past couple generations have been just kind of wonky like 8700 K and its TDP which is what is it like 95 watts or whatever the heck it is yeah that's not I mean it's not 95 watts it's it's got a bunch of different turbo states that go above that that's that TDP and they use a completely different method of calculation than AMD does so it's difficult to give a direct answer to that I guess his is what I'm trying to say but I will say liquid cooling is very effective and very good at getting that heat away from the CPU and 120-millimeter all in one should perform if as long as it's a halfway decent one should perform just as well as any halfway decent 40 $50 air cooler I feel like yeah it should be in that range I would definitely go for one of the thicker radiators yeah I think his models cuz they have some really cheaper like slim ones that just aren't as good at cooling it as like the thicker radiator so if you have space in your Mini ITX case for a thicker add I would definitely go that route and you know I think that's more important honestly than having push-pull if you can have a thicker radiator and just ditch one of the fans that's better than having a thinner radiator with two fans I've tested this it's all about the radiator fin surface area yes in that case and that's what you really lose a lot of what that 120 compared to like a 240 or or something like that yeah but thank you for your donation frankly we have for you some advice Tanner wertham $5 is hema dudes I just turned 21 and I can finally enjoy beer with you guys what beers do you guys recommend cheers man 21 is a beautiful age I wish I was 21 again I would say Tanner sees today and don't you like live your life at 21 and appreciate it but you're not gonna do that because you can't you really yeah I know it's impossible it's two perspective that you gain it's all sick you know once you're old like me guys those are all the good old days I should waste it times spent my days more wisely anyway congratulations on being 21 yeah wish you the best I would recommend beers you I don't know where you're located it can can be significant impact because I mean certain areas have a lot of like cool micro breweries and personal tastes just beer taste is so subjective do you like IPAs stouts you know Browns Reds pilsners all right a beer that you can get I think pretty much anywhere now that I think is pretty decent is Fat Tire yeah that's I think it's distributed by anheuser-busch sure one of the big ones now so mm-hmm that's it I like like Fat Tire New Belgium Brewing that's the beer that that got me hooked on craft beer up until my college I think sophomore no freshman year of college I had only been drinking like shit beer like Budweiser Coors Light Mickey's and then someone introduced me to Fat Tire and I was like I didn't know beer could taste this way and I started exploring and and being more adventurous with my beer tasting and it's where I am now as the beautiful yeah on a sewer that I am and like for me honestly like there's a transition that you'll go through so like if you're if you're not into craft beers and you like drinking a Budweiser and stuff like that then by all means drink that drink the beer that you enjoy and you think tastes good because we just won't talk I know when I was 21 and me and my old roommate Chad would go to buy beer we didn't wonder about like what tastes the best were like what is the lowest price and the highest alcohol percentage by volume right yeah and if you're 21 let's populate actor down the whole list and be like what's on sale right yeah this is a 24 pack this is a 32 pack there's only there's way more drunk so much money that I call it yeah that's that's yeah arrogant bastard check out arrogant bastard from Stone just got a 22 ounce of that you'll be you'll be feeling pretty good after one of those bottles not too expensive either okay Aaron Lawrence 10 bucks hey guys been a while since I donated are you guys planning on going to LTX I'm driving up from Iowa and it would be awesome to see you guys as well Aaron I would love to go to LTX someday but this year is probably not the year for me because it's just bad timing there's a bunch of other stuff other projects that I have on the agenda but but maybe someday in fact I know if LTX continues like for the next 10 years I know for sure I'll probably be at one of them at some point but probably not this year if I'm being awesome but it sounds like a lot of fun yeah pretty much the same answer from me I think we both got it we did get invited to LTX yeah and I think we respectively respectfully declined it is something that we totally like going to but travel is you know every time you go and travel somewhere it's gonna take time away from the regular production as well as the day-to-day works that you just do being at home and spending time with loved ones and all that kind of stuff so yeah not going this time but hopefully be able to make it in the future because that's one thing I would like to do a little bit more of us go to events yeah there's more fans at as opposed to stuff like Computex and CES for sure which are more industry things oh yeah but you're really cool for that purpose but you know you don't necessarily get to meet as many people yep yeah you had a lot of fun of packs yes absolutely and so many people like came up to me and we're saying hi I got to meet so many fans at PAX weigh more than like you were saying Computex or CES which is more for like the press right being able to interact with you guys was it made the experience of the event in the weekend just a lot more fun I think and very very rewarding and stuff so maybe you guys will see a setting LTX in the future what mate $5 it's been a few episodes since I donated please take my money and keep up the great content we will take your money Nate and I think for your donation and please don't feel obligated nobody please nobody feel obligated to donate we appreciate those who do for you all but you're completely welcome to sit and watch our show without giving us money yeah Michael Welsh with the five dollar donation and no comment so Cheers cheers to you pure love Guido salducci $5 hey guys sorry I missed last week's show but here's five big ones great this live show on the planet yeah thank you that just give it up the stands yeah Jesus I probably didn't to belch that line right out of all the lines probably at least been able to say that one coherent ly so really without burping away perhaps that's what makes it beautiful it was a biting criticism of the currents it was was just a state of streaming social media platforms just sort of here the bida tea and okay there's the pure and honest I'm glad I'm glad that your half is next and I don't have to worry about ah chugs remaining gaming $5.00 why does my Elgato as a hit and what's that gelato el gato 4k 60fps software tell me 1440p 144 Hertz is not supported that's garbage what the heck I don't know I don't know that's on the software side of El Gato I have not tried one of those cards yet I know gamers Nexus got one I think level one Tech's got one that they were playing around with a bit for Kasich so they might have done some different testing there yeah I do know that with my fork a capture card from Blackmagic that's one thing that I wanted to try pretty early on was like it has the bandwidth capacity because that's really what it boils down to when you're talking about different resolutions and screen refresh rates resolutions and refresh rates is yeah it's just that much more bandwidth that that is needed but it's not just the raw bandwidth it also needs to support that frequency and and frame yeah yeah resolution so I don't think like my guess would be that the elgato only goes up to 60 Hertz and that that's the maximum it can capture right but I'm not sure I dunno and again this isn't testing the direct hardware that you're using but in my experience you can play a game on a source monitor that's a higher refresh rate hundred Hertz 144 Hertz and capture it and still basically you'll be able to see the higher refresh rate but the capture will go that well yeah it'll drill it down or I don't know how it how it enterprise to choose only frames that equal 60 frames per second but right I'm pretty sure that works but yeah I do when I first set out because I would like to get a via cool upgrade for my streaming system yeah and try noxus you did another $5 donation and said see my streaming PC build on Facebook Traxxas gaming dot nine everyone go to Facebook / Tron noxus out nobody get a Facebook sucks nope go there oh yeah axis will steal your data should axis get a source it's not Facebook well check here on Twitter uh Yannick salary $10 why you sorry yeah Kyle why did you have to be super ninja at PAX all I wanted was a picture with one of the guys who unknowingly helped me build my first PC legit sab you helped too Paul damn dude I was like everywhere at PAX I was all over the show floor I was tweeting out and stuff I did the panel that was a very easy way for you to see me if you were at the panel tons of people were there and lots of fans got to meet so you know what I had so much fun at PAX I'm gonna try my best to go to the next one and maybe even some other paksas maybe I'll try to convince Paul to come along with me pax West is in Seattle which is super close to us oh yeah all things considered and used to be PAX Prime you used to be back scribe and then everyone got salty it's like why you get to be prime breath where are you the best even this actually I feel like I had more fun at PAX East oh yeah you you did go to a PAX Prime once yeah I've never been to the Seattle one it was cool I just I felt I was actually kind of surprised that I felt like PAX East seems a little bit bigger okay but it might have been just the venue was that or that kind of thing it's a really nice kid center there in Boston yeah and Boston's a great city and stuff so big city as long as you don't have to drive your own car that is true catch you next time Yannick thank you haddock and finally moving Frank $10 pin my PC already just kidding I'm proud of my PC anyways you know I value the confidence to know that your PC doesn't need any pimping other than from you yourself you know you know what you like you know what you want you don't even you don't even Paula telling you how to live your life self-confidence right so uh do we have some Johnson's I believe if my email browsers would load Jones up Google Trinity like everyone's updating their privacy policies yeah I don't know Wi-Fi in general that's cuz the EU thing Trinity evolution stainless steel bottle opener Johnson to you Trinity a three three times the Johnsons because your name is Julie is taking forever Scott bit gaming desk Matt one of my favorite products on the store right now thank you very much for picking one of those up Tanner CPU cooler stainless steel bottle opener the bottle openers heyo Johnson to you Tanner Rory Rory Dexter that's a pretty cool name Rory Dexter bit with words in a circle 20 ounce tall boy Imperial pint glasses wait let me catch up okay Jeff G from Santa Anna I got that's that's pretty close to looks like down the street oh he got the oxblood Jeff congratulations being the first to get the oxblood thumbscrew t-shirt a Johnson for Trinity as double Johnson City the pub glove can we get a triple jump suit for trip oh that would make it make so much gonna have their third part of the Trinity Mauri Mauri Mauri Mauri Mauri xia you're not the father oh yeah different mari or arthur either one thank you so much from Texas got the sword fight gaming mouse pad nice Robert classic thank you very much Robert freaking up an evolution stainless steel bottle opener a 20-ounce tallboy Imperial pint glass and a CPU cooler and flash bios full color 15-ounce ceramic mug set Wow holy crap Scott from Wisconsin the beer sets the glass and the opener a big old Johnson for you Scott Thank You Johnson to Carlos Carlos G words in a circle 20 ounce cowboy Imperial thankless I think I think it's just drinking out of the glasses as I sold more of these glasses in the last two weeks than I have in the last six months and everything's been absolutely into the actually having a product to be able to show people this is actually a functional thing it works Jesus it's almost like that's what our entire channels are focused on would you just start sweeping the mousepads to the to the monitors it's even hey Rory from Australia oh my gosh all the way from Australia the pub glass they've left the to glass pub last set as well as the gaming desk Matt sets thank you Rory to get a deal good day to you tanner good from Arkansas got the pub glass the single 20 ounce Justin Justin be from Minnesota got to last 20 on set thank you very much Justin Johnson for you and Carlos from double Johnson Massachusetts could stop Jets we also got a pub glass man Michael glasses in pubs already had to restock those Justin H from Chicago Illinois thank you so much Justin yeah also got the beer set the glass and the opener and that is all the jetsons I have for today whoo guys that is all for my half of the show if you enjoyed this half if you enjoyed the words we've said and those types of things and definitely thumbs up button if there's one of you out there who would like to create timestamps for this after the show we would much appreciate it and if you post those in the comments I will come along and I'll sticky them there me one sticky it goes up to the top girl sticky and of course if you want to hang out for the second half of the show where Kyle will be talking about things then stay where you are if you're watching on Twitch or click the link in the video's description if you're watching on youtube and you can go over there and do that thing thank you guys so much for watching we'll be right back and have a great evening ah
