at the airport in new york at 5 30 eastern time yesterday whoa so at 3 30 home time i was at an airport getting on what would have been a 5 30 our time flight getting off uh no on boarding at this airport at that airport then i flew for six hours and i got off the plane at 10 30 a.m our time and came to the office for the day so i'm going with it i'm going with the juice i did seem very tired that day and i was like huh okay sure well did you notice that i was only gone for about 35 hours i wasn't here yeah to new york and back plus doing the entire samsung event on my own on your own okay i only vaguely heard about it i had no camera person why because you know what okay we'll get to it after the intro so the vega shortage could last until october intro i mean who really cares who is buying vega okay does this work i don't know uh not yet okay what the crap wait what about the other one why don't i just try the other one yeah okay uh um sponsors fresh books they're both books that are fresh yeah the drinking stuff is turkey it's less fresh because it's preserved because it's jerky it's smoked but relative relative to jerky yeah relative to other jerky i guess it's fresh yeah um in that there's less preservatives and nitrates um yeah okay hold on i'm gonna put this back but why isn't my screen share working confused confused disappointed and disappointed and uh hold on i didn't have the thing on and no it's still not working still not working i don't understand um also this might be this is like not working is that the official end of xsplit the end of xsplit i don't know okay well that's avio um has issues with x-play yeah blames it on xsplit and refuses to do things because they blame it on xbox yeah that's um episode episode yeah no i'm so okay that's probably a topic of discussion is it finally time for us to move to obs let's find out um and actually another good discussion topic that we've got here is is floatplane dying i don't know what would make people think that but that is definitely a i'm stoked on that as a topic of conversation i have no idea where that came from is that posted in the doc what were we talking about before we rolled the intro and i said we were going to talk about it after the intro uh i don't know crap i have no idea whatsoever maybe twitch chat will help us with this is floatplane dying where did you get that from but i'm uh it's not yeah it's not hold on are they gonna help us it's doing quite well people are asking if i dye my hair oh the trip to new york that's right oh i dyed my hair i'm only 31. i can't believe i'm 31. that's not too bad it's not too great you look like a very young 31. thanks that's like saying you know for a corpse you really don't look that decomposed you don't look like you're in your throat so don't worry about it i wouldn't assume that you're in your 30s you've aged a lot since you like had kids and started this country thanks but me too it started nice it started you look really great for your 30s then it's like but wow man you are really on a downward slope dude i am too yeah but you can just shave your beard and you go to okay yeah you know what i'm going after it because this is this is payback time baby all right your face looks horrible enough that you have to hide it right here bam that's right screw you dick i mean the old but at least i can show my face where is it i wonder if i can find it there's the instagram posts from when i had to shave for that video that we didn't get to release yeah i know the oh the comments on there are hilarious i think there's people that like legitimately think i'm a different person okay but you know what though in your defense i think part of what i think part of why it doesn't work for you though is because your hairdo is kind of like you have like kind of i think i think it did better when i had like the spikes you have a choir boy hairdo but then you offset it with the kind of rugged facial hair yeah so when you have like the no facial hair and then you just have like the nice kind of yeah you just you go kind of like yeah kind of choir boy yeah um i think when i had when i had the spikes or when i just had like the faux hawk kind of deal or just short hair in general i think it i think it did a little bit better yeah uh okay so we were supposed to talk about the trip to new york okay so here's what went down okay um i have never been invited to a samsung launch event before this is the first because you've just had like the meetings yeah so i've had meetings with like samsung canada yeah where i'll go to like a hotel in vancouver or a restaurant one time and i'll get briefed on the phone and a lot of the time this is like a week or two after yes like the unpacked event and marquez and jonathan morrison and austin all those guys like have full reviews up and i'm getting briefed and i'm seeing the device for the first time because get this because it's just launching in canada now yeah which is so like super stupid as though i should give any cares when it launches in canada nobody cares when a device launches in canada and the kind of stuff they'll cover at these briefings is great they're like yeah and the blue color is gonna be available exclusively on rogers why i did have uh okay someone will find out from the video that they're interested in the phone go to rogers.com and be like oh there's blue and they'll buy it cool or they'll slap a skin on it anyways or they'll never go to rogers.com and never know that they had a blue one and not care yeah in all likelihood if we're being honest right now vast vast percentage of people so that's what would always happen so i was super stoked to get an invite to the samsung unpacked event because that meant that i could actually do a hands-on video at the same time that the and every other press in the world mind you the verge had an article or had a video up while austin and i were sitting there at the audience going why do we even attend these things like honestly why are we even why are we even here what's the point um but that's a whole other conversation um the verge had a video so they so they in so they invited me up and i was like oh this is great yeah i'd love to go do it um you know you want to build that relationship i want to i want to be timely on mobile stuff if i can at all manage to do it and then i'm like okay yeah so we need two tickets me and a camera person which i think is fairly reasonable for a publication of our impact and they're like oh sorry um you can't bring a camera person and i'm like okay well can i just pay for their ticket and pay for their hotel or even just share a room like i don't care like most of the camera people here i'm buddy buddy enough with that we could just share a room no problem um and then they're like no we can't get you another ticket for the event so even if i brought my own camera person there you can't get them inside they could only get me one one ticket into the event because again it's because i'm going through samsung canada samsung canada had 12 tickets for the entire country i was i was going as far as like is this like a fire marshal issue like they literally can't bring more people into the building it was full but the problem is that canada's allocation was so little of it right that so austin had three people there because but he didn't get his hotel and flight paid for and he didn't get like there was this activation after where why did he need three people i was supposed to have to get this i was supposed to have two to three thousand dollars to go experience new york with the note 8. and they were like yeah you could do like a chopper flight or you could do this you could i didn't end up doing anything because i was busy editing my stupid video that i shot that day so i didn't even end up using it but it was like you guys you guys have all this like influencer budget but i can't bring a camera person to the event with me come on so austin didn't have that because that was just something samsung canada was doing but this just all leads back to like a a larger fundamental issue which is how fragmented yes yeah where one company samsung okay they have the verge going live where i don't know why hashtag free luke is being spammed i don't know what it means so they have the one company has the verge going live with a preview yeah well the entire rest of the world press which has like astronomically more views than the rest of the stuff in their channel while the entire rest of the world press is sitting in an auditorium waiting for the presentation to start they've got um the us and canada and whatever other countries with wonko allocations for press they've got and and they've got completely different programs for i would consider myself and austin pretty similar in terms of what we are youtubers influencers like we fall in the same category and he's gotta buy his flight buy his hotel but he can get as many tickets as he wants i get a free flight free hotel and a few grand to spend on doing something cool in new york but i can't bring a camera operator yeah so so it's just all over the place um and i just i feel like somewhere at some point what could have even been sort of interesting is if they gave you like one of those phone gyro things and like you were able to bring an editor and they got you to like film the whole thing on the phone yeah and they like gave you a phone to talk about and display and they give you a phone to film with yeah and you're able to bring an editor so they could actually edit the exactly that would be pretty neat and the other thing too though is consistency like i no one's going to be upset if everyone's kind of doing the same thing yeah but like honestly and i don't me i hope she i sincerely doubt she's watching but there was another person in the media on the media side of the presentation that was sincerely taking notes from the presentation on a little pad of paper and wrote down like 10 things and i'm kind of sitting here going like how are you even covering this like what are you are you gonna fold that up tie it to a pigeon and mail it to someone like what are you doing what are you doing i've taken i've taken written notes before such that you are relevant enough to be here and that you're yeah but she wasn't it wasn't a speed thing because she didn't even write anything okay she was sitting right in front of me and i'm sitting here going what could you possibly be doing that doesn't require you to digitize this at some point yeah one of the things that i like about paper notes and i know this isn't what you're saying i'm just we have to talk a lot today because we have no news so i'm going for it yeah um is is that it's kind of like the one note idea if i had like a surface book that i had folded back with a pen then sure but that's i don't have that what no stop so like i can stop part way through and draw something or do whatever i need to okay she does nothing and the notepad was like this big see that's crazy it's really hard to see i normally have big ones like this and we're sitting in a dark auditorium because it's like a presentation yeah anytime that i've sat down at a presentation if i had the option i did laptop or even phone but if i'm like being walked around a booth really quickly i often just write right so you know right tool for the job and i totally get that but it was just like like why are you even here yeah um so what else we uh what else we got for today actually oh oh uh why don't we talk about is floatplane dying slowplane dying i don't i don't even understand no okay is that it yeah that was it in other news are we gonna finally move to obs because my uh laptop screen capture is still not working why don't you talk about pros and cons while i see if i can figure this out okay so uh if people have watched my little stream i don't know if i've ever talked about it on the wan show but i've done quite a few different attempts of moving off of xsplit to obs because the amount of rain that happens from everybody about how obs is so much better because it's open source uh convinced me to try it a few a few times and i decided that i didn't like it every single time until recently and i'm sure i'm gonna receive an email about this or a tweet or something but i've been having a huge amount of problems with xsplit and i'm not the only one and a lot of them have to do with capture cards and other different types of things that we're trying to use and i'm getting feedback from these companies that make these devices that it just doesn't work on xsplit and they're blaming xsplit and they're refusing to do anything about it so like i'm pretty sure the stream deck doesn't work on xsplit and we've had tons of problems with it right yeah so the stream deck i don't know uh what just happened oh dear oh crap did you unplug the sdi uh maybe hold on well we theoretically still have audio so i'm just going to keep talking so you don't really need to see me anyways um so continuing from there i wanted to play horizon zero dawn and i couldn't so i started trying to look into obs and man there's been some leaps and bounds in terms of how good and functional obs is and it's still in my opinion a very clunky ui i think they have made a number of objectively terrible uh design decisions but functionality wise it does really well the transgender stuff it does it does well with the audio levels the audio stuff on xsplit is just ah why there's just like a volume bar that you can change the level of and like a tiny very hard to see level bounce that's just on the bottom of the volume bar not in its own area very difficult to see is completely beyond me and obs has individual levels for all your things that are very easy to see all the time that's wonderful there's some really clunky things about it but it works very well in terms of the back end stuff and we use epiphan avio capture cards because they're wonderful and they don't like overheat and do other junky things that a lot of other capture cards that we've used have done um but they have compatibility issues with xsplit and talking it came up over the last little while yeah yeah it's it seems to be new um and that's very frustrating so yeah moving off of something that is theoretically paid for to something that is free because the free thing is better is just odd um i hope i hope x split figures but yeah okay so uh this next news item is actually from my email so hopefully i don't expose anything critical but it doesn't look like it crash plan for home is going away thank you for using crashplan for home we hope you have enjoyed the secure backup that the free version of crashplan for home has provided as of today we've made the decision to shift our business strategy to focus on the enterprise and small business segments wow so this kind of sucks because crash plan was like the go-to for quick painless easy off-site backup of your entire system so in theory and you know there's some port forwarding and whatever else that goes along with it but in theory crash plan was as simple as going okay here's all the stuff i want to back up here's my buddy's crash plan code click and then it would send over an encrypted version of all of that stuff in like an encrypted container file so that in the event that you had some kind of a catastrophic system failure you would be able to at the very least back up all of your all of your precious memories and all that and you you you didn't necessarily even have to trust the person on the other side you just had to have enough of a working relationship with them that you'd be able to get physical access to the data at some point or even back it up online if you uh if you didn't have so much that it would take like weeks to download or whatever the case may be so as long as you you didn't even have to trust each other you just had to have like a bilateral agreement that kind of goes hey i'll have some extra storage in my place you have some extra storage at your place we'll back up to each other boom done um and right now i'm not a hundred percent sure exactly what we're going to um well it says support small business so what does that mean well how much does that cost i'm using this personally though and small business is i believe i forget but it's like a significant cost per device okay yeah so it and it really is priced like a small business solution um click to get crash plan for small business here we go so let's have a look at what we got here so i'm in a bit of a better spot because way back now to be completely honest i got that synology nas yep and i can synology to synology yes mirror which is actually quite nice there's other things you can do too on your own um but nothing that's as elegant as this and this was like the cross platform thing because you could so i could use it on a windows desktop and i could be backing up to a crash plan docker container on an unraid server for example so that was super cool um but yeah no here we go it's ten dollars per device per month wow for the business one yeah so it's 120 bucks a year and what kind of sucks about this it says you can migrate all your cloud back up something something yeah i don't think it yeah it does not support computer to computer backups anymore so that super sucks because that was the whole that was the whole reason why i would use crashplan because it's going from thing i own to thing that i own or is like a thing my friend owns instead of relying on you know some corporation somewhere to keep all of this stuff safe like i like the idea of having everything on my servers and especially not having to pay extra for more cloud storage if i have a bunch of crap i want to back up like if i have a gigabit internet connection at my office i would love to be able to just flood it and they're not going to like so what happens if you've already got this stuff set up because isn't this local software it is local software um i believe though that they can just can it remember yeah i believe they can can it because the way that friends are tracked is through authentication through the software yeah so it's not something where you just point it at an ip and it just goes okay yeah so maybe they maybe they've had this in the plan for a long time uh maybe maybe the people who are smarter than me are gonna go find some version that you can kind of roll back to where it all works or something like that i'm not sure but in the meantime um i'm definitely gonna be looking for some other kind of solution and that's pretty frustrating um scroll all the way down all the way down all the way down all the way to the bottom almost right there sponsor a little bit up a bit half-life three oh you gotta be kidding me nope actually not so this was originally posted on the forum by n2a newt and uh let's go ahead and just kind of wow that is that was way too broken there you go um that looks pretty good so half-life 2 episode 3's story released by mark laidlaw the lead writer for the half-life series who left valve last year wow i have a feeling this could get him in a lot of trouble i really hope he's sought out legal counsel yeah i hope he's lawyered up man um wow that's pretty crazy it's on github and i believe it's in like quite a few other places as well it's on pastebin uh because people are worried about it being brought down which is not surprising at all um apparently it wraps up a lot of loose ends it's essentially half-life two episode three um yeah wow apparently it the corrected versions where it like fixes the genders and fixes a few words that he like changed that can't be enough to save him at all but whatever um is like a very coherent and plausible plotline so it's from a fictional character named gertie fremont yeah but if you change that yeah who recounts her team up with feisty partner alex vaughnt to find the hyper borea luxury liner which must be uh yeah so wow so he's like probably gonna get owned i really like uh so there's no way of knowing whether this was a finalized plot line we have no way of knowing how far into development half-life 2 episode 3 this could be a first draft yep um but apparently he was the primary architect of half-life's plot and his departure from valve last year was widely seen as acknowledgment that episode three was completely dead so maybe if i can speculate wildly without looking into anything that this guy has said publicly at all because we don't have a lot of notes it's just the lan show anyway um yeah why not right let's just yolo it yeah yeah so yeah fake news warning yeah um but i would i would assume that maybe this is like he's the main architect for the plot it said that right there this is probably like his masterpiece right so while he might get screwed for this maybe he just doesn't care because like if you created this and like the whole internet is like we want it so bad yeah and it's like the greatest work you've done i don't know i don't know what else he's worked on yeah i mean i can see how someone would feel like that like but half-life is amazing so that would be like an amazing thing to be the greatest thing you can i'll tell you something like we've considered just going live with the channel super fun top gun shop for shot volleyball scene recreation and just taking the copyright strike just so that people can watch it like having it up there for long enough that some people can watch it before it gets ripped down because like they're not going to delete our channel no realistically we're not a big enough target to get sued into oblivion by uh what is it columbia pictures and if we do what we just give them all the profits from the video can't remember well no no there's more to it than there's more to it than that but like realistically they're not gonna they're not gonna put a target on their own back by like trying to shut down i like to think a fairly you know beloved youtube creator company like yeah like the amount of public backlash over suing us into a crater over us just doing a fan yeah remake of a scene from one of their movies like come on it seemed it seems very implausible at some people like it at ltx yeah yeah yeah like at some point before an actual lawsuit occurs some human looks at something and makes a decision as to whether or not to proceed with it and it's not necessarily as simple as the black and white of law yeah it's like is this worth the pr is this worth the cost is this worth the effort yeah and like that but like what you just said just to dive further into this topic that i know nothing about um could be a reason why valve might not go for this guy valve is the like dream child of all the pc gamers but remember to okay less so these days for one thing and if you don't protect your ip then you will be seen as soft and you could open yourself up to this kind of leak all the time yeah and all of a sudden valve who might not have a ton of employees but in terms of revenues and profits is a gigantic company i uh no i i think i think they actually have no choice but to go after him as hardcore as they can like if honestly that sucks if i was them i would do it just because you can't set a precedent like that and you can't have someone you can't make it okay for that to happen because someone might actually come out with a game with gertie fremont and alex vaughn that is like the exact thing like here and call it like quarter life span three let's draw a parallel right um so let's say that um let's say that you decided to quit or something like that you don't um yeah i know you're like half half way out the door already but the point is let's say you decided yeah like what what like three months or something yeah let's say you decided to quit and as the last thing that you did you went around the office and you grabbed your scrap yard wars pc yeah and um let's just let's just try and think of like some you know what there that's that's i was going to say the bomb but that's true the bomb's kind of yours already anyway like i think the plasti dip on it is mine yeah it's not even plastic yeah yes but the paint belongs to me well the plastic you can take the whole middle section yeah the whole middle section yeah yeah but but let's say the scrapyard wars pc where indisputably linus media group paid for oh yeah no that's yeah and it was created on work time which your employee agreement states that the things you create are the intellectual property of this company i know that's that's works which i'm sure he has a very similar agreement in place certain so let's say that you took off with it and you were like i'm not giving this bag i would have no choice even though i don't actually care and as far as i'm concerned you can have it because that would be i didn't give you permission yeah you just couldn't that then be used against you if someone else does it possibly yes because you said a precedent that this is okay yes and that could be seen as like a benefit of working here or something or something either way i'm creating the potential for this to come back and become a problem and honestly in this case the stakes are even so much lower than someone you know leaking the plot of an unreleased game oh yeah definitely that's that's taking some property and like displaying it in my house probably yeah the other thing would be taking property and giving it to everyone that's right that would be like taking a video that we never released that i made yeah and giving it to everyone on my own channels later yep where even if you had no intention of profiting from it this is something that a lot of people don't necessarily understand is the definition of profit does not necessarily come down to the money that luke makes like let's say that luke took it and did a stream on his twitch channel where he specifically the nda expired so is the argument here that the statute of limitations is up because it's been a year or something like that well his nda yeah his nda from working there has apparently so there's a difference between that's very yeah an nda and intellectual property yeah and stealing into and disclosing something that's under if he was like if he was like i had a fully written script for half-life 2 episode 3 that would be a perfect example of something that would be nda'ed but not intellectual property um so anyway so back to literally the script back to the example let's say luke decided that for that stream all the money that came in was going to go to a charity or he was going to turn off monetization um for the video where he displayed that video yeah um he still profits in the sense that if eva if i can prove that even a single person went and watched that stream who wouldn't have otherwise he profited off of the thing that didn't belong to him that he stole from linus media group in the sense that he gained notoriety people were saying get john i didn't uh yeah we could go get john actually uh he's uh he's upstairs we can you know what why don't we come back to this topic a little bit uh a little bit later in this i want to say two things before we get john here so that like everyone remembers so we can bring this up one some people are comparing this to h3h3 that's not it at all no it's not it's content that was released by someone else that was used in minor form for parody completely drastically different situation and another one this would be sort of comparable to someone working at like dreamworks and they make a bunch of like internal animations and different shorts all this different kind of stuff that they don't get to completion and then they quit and then a year later they just release all of these publicly yeah that's we'll get john here but i'm like pretty down i feel pretty good about the position that i've taken on it but hey he could always come in and tell me i'm wrong in the meantime uh why don't we do ourselves it's also america so the laws are like slightly different uh what do we got for wow you know what's funny is we actually thought we didn't have a lot of topics this week but we've got a fair bit that we still have a fair bit to talk about so let's uh let's get through this first box okay fresh books so if you're a small business owner or a freelancer uh let's say you do construction on the side or even you do it as your full-time job house painting you teach yoga classes out of your garage you do small time computer repair or it work for local offices whatever it is you do freshbooks is all about giving you the tools to make your organization your billing and your accounting way simpler and expenses which is a thing that a lot of new

heard about this okay okay why don't you actually look at it while we do one one more topic and then you can come back and use my laptop use my laptop yeah okay in the meantime i want to jump into one of our other topics here someone messed with me someone put a spicy one in the cracked pepper and sea salt and it's delicious as usual but i have the hiccups now because i wasn't expecting it that wasn't me that actually wasn't me i wouldn't be surprised if it was ivan jack jackass is everywhere what's his plan his plan was to like uh have a whole bunch in the line you don't know which one's the spicy one and it's like roulette oh lordy we should do that as a channel super fun kind of a fun channel beef jerky roulette all right this was originally posted over on ars technica and intel's not really hiding it but they recently launched eighth generation mobile chips and the um the assumption i think from a lot of people even fairly tech savvy i assumed this the assumption was that an eighth generation mobile chip would be coffee lake which is their upcoming architecture nope these quad core dang it these quad-core u-class mobile chips which by the by the way is pretty freaking sick so base clocks of anywhere from 1.6 to 1.9 gigahertz and boost clocks of 3.4 to 3.9 gigahertz at four core cores with and these are all 15 watt parts are pretty darn impressive and are gonna enable a completely new class of mobile device like i'm really looking forward to see if lg does a 2018 gram with these processors right yeah or or something like it because a quad core is really the only thing i'm missing you've already got an nvme ssd you've already got 16 gigs plus of ram so the one thing missing is more multi-threading performance and they're even hyper threaded so we're talking four cores eight threads these things look sick unfortunately this is not nearly the shift that we were possibly expecting they are built on a somewhat refined version of intel's 14 nanometer manufacturing process and even though they're calling them 8th gen they are actually much more similar both cpu and gpu to the 7th generation kaby lake so they're calling these kb lake refresh which if my experience has anything to go on basically means kaby lake yeah um and it's frustrating because the whole idea really can be like with like a better understanding of their bidding yeah the whole idea and well intel is iterating all the time so it's kaby lake refresh but they're probably already using all the things they learned in other kaby lake chips as it is because they are making changes over time um sorry john we're almost ready for you sorry um but it's frustrating because the whole idea behind this gen thing is you're supposed to be able to understand what generation the freaking thing is architecturally and now we've got seventh generation processors on the hedt side that are skylake based we've got seventh generation processors on the mainstream side that are kaby lake based and then we've got eighth generation processors that are kaby lake based is nothing sacred no so um yeah oh but to be clear the hedt ones i'm talking about are like the 7900x so that because it has a seven it's seventh gen but it is actually a sixth generation sky lake architecture so now there's gonna have to be like the intel version and there's gonna have to be like the enthusiast who has who's keeping track of this on their own version of what gen everything is all right so let's feel like we're gonna need another tech quickie video let's let john jump in and talk about this whole half-life three thing i'll give you my spot do you have to leave nope here we go okay so half-life three how does how does this work because we think linus and i are both in agreement right now that some people in the chat are saying like oh his nda lifted but we don't think this is an nda thing in our opinion it would be covered under nda if he was just like i had completed a script for half-life uh two episode three and that's all he says that seems like an nda style thing him actually releasing all the content does not seem like an nda protected action i mean ndas can be written pretty broadly though yeah you can you can ride in nda so what right but what we're saying is like um people are saying that the nda has lifted because he hasn't worked there for a year so he's released this content not being a employee of valve anymore and people are saying that he's fine because the nda lifted does that make any sense uh it does okay sorry if i seem a little bit confused you seem very confused well no it's it's more that um i don't i can't really think of a reason why that wouldn't make sense honestly okay so if i work at linus tech tips and we make a series of videos called scrapyard wars and we make scrapbook works it's hypothetical here we make scrapyard wars episode seven and ed finishes editing them but then linus hates me so fires me and doesn't want to release the episodes anymore because it wants nothing to do with me and i have all the copies of the episodes and i released them somewhere else because my nda expired how does that make any sense uh well you're covering different things with an nda versus just a separate agreement saying that you don't own copyright in it but this is this is content like did you actually see the post i read the bullet points below it no yeah no this is what he released okay which is like the script so he like changed the well it's like it's a letter from one character to another and the names and places have been changed but it's extremely obvious but like gordon freeman is uh what uh gerta something dirty fremont yeah or frement or something so wouldn't the storyline be considered ip and wouldn't that be covered separately from an nda you could cover it under both anytime there's no i don't see a reason you couldn't do that so so do you think it's possible that he's off the hook here is he in trouble with valve is valve no one knows no one knows yet we're trying to figure out if he's in trouble with valve yeah i feel like valve wouldn't construct their nda in a way that makes it so you can just release whatever you worked on after you leave for a year i don't know why anyone would ever do that that makes no sense it could be but like i was saying you could it could be under it could be covered under something else that isn't an nda so even if they say if they structure something that says right but we're talking about if it's not covered not if it is covered uh okay so you're you're asking me if this isn't covered by an nda yeah i'm not asking if it's covered by other things because we don't know we don't know there's no information about that at all all we know calculating what the likelihood is that he's okay here based on what based on because you're asking that he revealed the plotline of something that he was working on at valve and is therefore the intellectual property of valve after leaving i mean i have no way to say like it it completely depends on like how much valve values this information so and who knows if they do or not you know or were they you know were they actually planning to release a sequel or not so interesting okay i had thought uh i had thought it'd be a little more open shut than that like well we're making some assumptions we're making assumptions that valve is gonna aggressively protect its intellectual property regardless of whether it mattered or not uh because it sets kind of a bad precedent if they just let people walk away with this stuff well i mean you're right in that it probably would be considered ip like you're you're you are probably right about that but like at the same time is if you're going to sit here and ask oh how much trouble is he possibly in yeah impossible to say it really depends on what valve wants to do so yeah all right thank you yep so so it sounds like we weren't that far off we were just making kind of a different set of assumptions about how we think valve would behave yeah that may or may not be right so we're just gonna have to wait and see how this one shakes out according to apparently um he has released a tweet i don't know where it went i lost the click sure why don't you have a look while i jump in and talk about the vega shortage okay so this was originally posted over on videocards.com and actually there's a post by coaxial gamer over on the forum and the original article there is from pcgamesn.com but apparently the vega shortage could last until october in spite of amd's efforts to keep rx vega prices low so uh this is from video cards according to well-informed sources of digi times you should not expect to find rx vega in stores at least at a normal price until october while amd promised to prepare a high to prepare a high volume of rx vega graphics cards for launch the reality was that many countries apparently did not receive a single unit of the new flagship card the problem allegedly lies in the complexity of the vega chips other sources claim that this issue may lie in advanced semiconductor engineering packaging technology if i had to guess and this would be pure speculation i would say it probably has a lot to do with hbm too and maybe not necessarily even the amount of hbm2 that amd can buy but possibly as much as that to do with amd simply not wanting to buy that much hbm2 right now because right now they're one of the only ones using it so if they put in a massive order they would themselves inherently spike the pricing of something that is a very limited commodity and that just you can i mean anyone can look at this on dram exchange something that went up drastically in price in the couple of weeks before rx vegas official launch so if i was amd i would be probably trying to ride it out until another competitor starts building hbm2 which is supposedly going to happen fairly soon and i would be um yeah like i wouldn't be going out of my way to produce a bunch of cards that i'm maybe not even making money on i'm just i'm speculating though yeah that's fair uh one thing i want to add i found i found the tweet he tweeted saying my website's down for now i guess a fanfic is popular even a gender-swapped snapchat snapshot of a dream i had many years ago so is that him backpedaling on i don't even know how because he wants to be is he forward pedal at all or did the internet just freak out maybe i don't know yeah it could be a case i kind of think it's probably fairly not a big deal and i'm gonna make another wild assumption based on no information um because fake news is really fun rancho man um but my idea here is that it's on his own website his pinned tweet is him trying to sell books that he's written he's trying to sell books that he's written an easy way to get a whole bunch of traffic to his website which did happen and to get more interest around him and his books is so if it happened on the thing that he if it legitimately had nothing to do with any kind of planet valve then i think it's fine because i believe fanfic is like okay i think you're allowed to do that and letting the internet go full conspiracy theory is a great marketing tactic i don't know how long interesting took until he clarified it right i like your new theory i like that one the most um okay in other news uh this was from pcgamesn.com amd says they're trying to keep prices of rx vega low though so after the price is inflated after launch amd now says it's trying its best to get those prices to where we suggested when we launched them so their amd's gerald youngblood says our sep so that's suggested prices and the price tag that we announced is our full intention of where we would suggest the product be priced not just for launch but ongoing they said the price surge due to overwhelming demand and that the filling of retailers inventory is key to getting the prices of vega down to their original pre-launch levels um yeah that makes sense uh but again so we're looking at amd having to um having to put pressure on retailers which a lot of the time manifests as like a rebate or something and you know that whole thing broke a little while ago we expressed our frustration with yeah yeah again this is more evidence for amd not really having um much motivation to provide as much vega as they possibly can right now because here's what you guys need to understand amd does not profit from the mining craze and from the prices being jacked up 200 on the shelf the retailer and or the opportunistic reseller who runs out to a store whenever they find it at regular price and then flips it on ebay they profit amd doesn't want that because they're effectively creating a bunch of hate in their community and a bunch of anger and they don't even get to make more money out of it yeah so you so you shouldn't really think about this emotionally you have to think about it rationally it's it's not in amd's best interest unless they are actually raising the price of the product which is going to piss everyone off to have the street price be high um so you know i've talked to them um i can't share everything that was shared with me but i'll say benefit of the doubt um i still and you can go back and watch last week's wine show if you want to know what i'm upset about i'm still upset about pretty much all of it amd could have done a way better job of communicating the way that they were handling this launch pricing because if they had told me that it was going to be through rebates i would have known that the entire thing was going to be a cluster and this is okay so this is a situation where like i've never been on the other end so i don't know there's unknown variables here but sometimes the communication stuff that happens directed towards us from a wide variety of companies i'm not even going to narrow down to amd right now is just very not good yeah and it doesn't seem that hard well it seems hard when you make things hard on yourself so a lot of the miscommunication around vega had to do with that they originally were going to just lift the embargo on vega 64 the flagship card and then at the last second decided to lift the embargo on 56. don't do that right but think about it this way it's not the people who are actually in the trenches with nvidia card in their right hand and upcoming amd card in their left hand testing them against each other who like actually know how this whole thing's going to shake down and how the press is going to react to it it's not those people making the decision unfortunately it's probably some executive making the decision and then ultimately and i told you so moment that takes place once the hardware is already in the hands of the reviewers and they get some initial feedback that hey this isn't going to be a super positive review because hey vega 64 is not crazy competitive like it's it's not a game changer guys um so some some executive who's in la la land probably got that feedback and mate was like okay fine let's do it your way let's launch the one that actually makes sense vega 56 at the same time so we don't end up with a bunch of negative press to lose our momentum that's probably how it went down and i'm speculating i told you guys i had a call with amd that was definitely not confirmed or talked about but that's what i would guess went on and that's how these things keep happening because it was the same bloody thing with ryzen 7. originally they were going to roll out the skus two weeks apart and then the last second they're like oh no we're lifting the embargo on all of them and only a handful of press actually got them all so they couldn't get them to us someone in the chat was like okay i don't i don't know where the message is so i'm gonna verbatim this and i'm gonna get a little bit of it wrong sorry but someone in the chat says something along the lines of um yeah but you were just blinded by wanting the profits of releasing the video on launch day i don't think that's valid personally i wasn't a part of the video creation process for that but from my view i don't think it's being blinded when to be able to see that you would have had to make extremely wild drastic assumptions that wouldn't have made any sense in the moment um yeah and it has that would have been very a very weird thing to assume here's the thing is i think people underestimate how much profit there is in having a video up um a day or two earlier for us the main issue from what i heard yeah and like again the reason why i keep on putting this in is because i'm actually outside of the circle but the main issue that i heard was that we had a completed video yeah we did that would have been a problem if we released yeah because now there was new information so we were correcting a problem we were we were completely done our vega 64 launch video with the air-cooled and the liquid-cooled card someone says ltt is totally sell-out we do sponsor spots yeah we do ads we work with companies but we are very transparent when we do so yep and that has not wanting to repeat work that you've done because someone else made a terrible last minute decision that screws you over i think it's a perfectly reasonable stance yeah and as for getting content out on launch day honestly we don't make a bunch more money for doing that um a youtube view is not worth nearly as much as you might think in terms of monetary value so yeah we'll get a few more views but for me it's more about making sure that we're perceived as a place that you go when you go and get like graphics card news about a new card that launches and if you know let's say let's say we weren't able to bring people in on the weekend if our video goes up and it's just vegas 64 and everyone else's video or written review goes up and it's vega 56 and vegas 64 it makes us look stupid and we don't want that and we shouldn't have to work through the weekend in order to do that companies should be respectful of our time and our schedules and the fact that we have lives and kids and other things we have to deal with um that's the issue what about likes are they worth more profit no likes are worth nothing exactly zero um some guys said luke likes negative comments uh they can be helpful because if someone's thinking those things genuinely it's good to address it and uh help them understand that they're wrong absolutely um okay this was posted originally on the forum by james had like an hour to throw together the dock today so i don't blame him for it not being there numlock21 yeah no and the original article here is from tom's hardware amd has gone into a little bit more detail about their epic and thread ripper chip designs uh claiming a 41 cost reduction which would actually account for the difference in price between amd's 16 core chip and intel's yeah which is pretty cool so they decided to go with um like this modular design versus a monolithic design because even though the modular design because of the interconnects is ten percent higher in cost so ten percent more die space apparently it saves so many failures allowing them to alright save so many failures that they can just take higher yield ones and quote-unquote glue them together that they actually reduce their cost by they estimate 41 that's pretty freaking cool that is actually very cool and that's very good for them specifically yeah to be honest and good for the consumer need to be making money so that they can actually keep doing things they like super do uh amazon has made its first big move with whole foods the original article here is from bloomberg um i want prime members to get discounts at whole foods so you can pay just a uh less inflated price for groceries and paper bags instead of plastic bags because you're a giant hipster not that i'm judging i've shopped at whole foods they also plan to make prime the customer rewards program at whole foods and products from whole foods private label 365 will be available on amazon they have not yet indicated a time frame for all these changes i technically have never shopped there but i've shopped at the like the like langley alternative oh okay yeah yeah it's um it's it's so it's so funny it's obvious it smells like health food the structure of it is very much like a um like a chain clothing store like a hollister i think is the one that always smells like cedar wood is it hollister i don't know i don't i don't know which clothing stores but um you know how you walk in remember the last time i was in a mall and they like feel really unique and then you go to another one of the same store somewhere else and it's exactly the same flavor of totally unique where it's this very um contrived yeah uh you know we do this totally differently than everybody else so uh yeah no i shopped at whole foods i think i've been there twice okay uh once because it was the only thing within walking distance of my hotel yeah and another time because i really needed an ice cream bar and i bought the only like with fat with dairy with gluten ice cream bar in the whole store actually no i think it was gluten-free by the way if you're in vancouver i believe this weekend or maybe only for one specific day but look it up uber is like coming here now to vancouver finally and i believe they're showing up by doing free ice cream bar deliveries oh so but i think it's only in vancouver sick i don't think they're doing all uber all the way out here if they are doing uber all the way out here i am getting my free ice cream bar actually even if not i might just like go down there to get a free ice cream bar because i'm going down there on saturday anyways what else do we have uh this is from bloomberg apple reported to unveil a new apple tv that'll be faster 4k hdr video blippitybloppity pixel 2 is coming october 5th rumor rumor rumor originally posted by techcrunch and um yep it looks like a phone it looks like a phone it looks like a pixel it it has a thing here that's kind of pixely yeah the bezels are smaller a lot smaller yep way smaller snapdragon 836 could have front-facing speakers i love that note that's my favorite note from today apparently a two to one aspect ratio okay i know that mathematically there's no reason to call um uh what is it yeah to call 16 by 10 16 by 10. right you could just as easily call it eight by five but for the sake of making life a little easier i kind of wish everyone would go like by nine since we all know what 16 by nine is yeah but what what is a two to one aspect ratio so that would be 18 by nine i guess yeah eighteen by nine but the fact that i have to convert it all the time is going to drive me crazy to be fair this probably affects almost no one but you so there's some rumors but i do understand where you're coming from uh 4.97 inch 1080p display for the smaller one with a six inch on the larger xl apparently it'll be provided by lg it'll support uh it'll sport four gigs of ram on board internal storage might get boosted to 64 gigs and uh it's probably got a great camera it might there's a lot of like it could it might yeah uh there's a it might drop the headphone port but like might have front-facing speakers it might have squeezable sides it might have bluetooth well it might be able to connect to the internet okay we don't know maybe they're going with the world's first modern smartphone without the internet wi-fi hotspot only i think we're probably done with this one and thank you for watching show we will see you again next week same bat time same bat chat oh spacex photos of the new spacesuit are actually super cool have you seen these fine you can do that i know i'm a fan boy but like they're pretty neat um all right fine we'll look at the new spacesuits these aren't the ones that i saw these aren't as cool oh they're still pretty cool those don't look that amazing no where's the cool ones those are just space suits where's the cool ones yeah i think you're just i think you're done i think that's the wrong article that is the wrong article okay here's the right article dang it james for throwing this together in an hour and screwing up one thing so far it also doesn't have the other photo whatever let's talk about floatplane stuff yeah floatplane not dead not dead definitely not dead doing great actually you had a meeting really today people were cool thanks for showing up guys at work on floatplane uh outdoor gaming the ultimate camping battle station i think we need a new thumbnail for this one that makes it more clear that we are in the middle of a forest gaming on like a freaking awesome gaming pc see mezzanine update i forgot to upload that i did at the last minute there this is a really cool video i think a lot of you will like it we designed the ultimate gaming tv have you seen this have you heard about this no so um alex and i worked on this together and we basically conceptualized what uh what a perfect tv for gamers would be and this is just a couple of we've probably got somewhere between six and ten features that tv makers for whatever reason have their heads too far up their exactly i heard about one of the features okay so one of them was an integrated um what's that stupid thing called that you have that um uh analog to digital converter what's that thing called again frame meister the framemeister so is it actually a framemeister so think about it think about this it doesn't have to be no as long as it was something quite similar so the framemeister actually here we're no okay we got the framemeister's probably like a little too overkill for most yes so it costs about 400 for a framemeister which is this external box that takes your analog source like a super nintendo or playstation one and converts it to hdmi with next to no latency because as you may or may not have noticed your tv if it takes in an analog source does a couple of things number one is even compared to its normal input lag it adds even more light and number two is it does a crap-tastic job of the conversion it'll look like garbage so the framemeister does a great job of both of those things at 400 it's a lot it's a lot but when you look at a premium tv you look at the bomb cost of a premium tv we're talking like five six seven thousand us dollars is it unreasonable to think a couple of things number one that by cheaping out on some stuff we don't care about like how thin it is that they could find some of that cost to spend on good analog to digital conversion and number two that they could achieve economies of scale that would make a framemeister cost a lot less it's not expensive hardware really aren't that many framemeisters that's one of the reasons why they're so expensive exactly so anyway that was one of the ideas so retro gamers could game on their new tv and have a not crap experience um so we've got a bunch of other ideas um a modular system for the speakers yeah that's the one thing i had heard about so you can take them off they just clip on and they have like just contacts that go or you could take them off reposition them run speaker wire and then you could add like the rest of the kit or something like that um display port in was one of the things we asked for so there's a bunch of stuff a lot of which would be very low cost to implement um a return to front i o right yeah like come on bring back front i o is nice i don't mind a little chin bar you know give me and so front uh front usb charging ports for controllers um for like uh vr accessories things like that so there's just a bunch of stuff we came up with we designed what we think is a gaming tv and we would love for the tv industry to you know maybe wake the crap up we took a look at the first all amd gaming pc from dell it's like taped onto the side well yeah but there's an actual chip inside too that was for illustrative purposes that's awesome how many pcie extensions is too many and the answer is a lot was it still working then you bet oh my god um that's crazy organization vlog day one wow we've actually got a lot of good stuff on here right now cool the last uh last week i think it was i wasn't that enamored with a lot of it organization vlog day one so this is basically a return to moving vlog this was what i watched the trailer for this yeah there's a trailer there's a have you not seen the trailer in the trailer we should play the trailer oh my goodness okay give me one second i will get the trailer is it on facebook or something nick send it to me what okay yeah forward it to me in the meantime um what else do we got i think there's at least one other like pretty pretty cool one uh let me just make sure that there's anything in here that we don't there was another one that i thought people were gonna like i don't know if we're allowed to share this allowed to share the trailer i guess you own the company so yeah okay yeah sure let's let's share it sick let's just let's just straight up yolo it um okay hang out to me well cool okay so i'm gonna go hide the ui yeah i'm doing it i'm doing it i'm going full screen so i don't screw myself again okay and oh man i don't know if i uh i don't know if i've got sound over hdmi right now i don't know if you guys are going to hear any of this um so i apologize in advance if everything is the audio is super helpful is it okay i'm just going to turn up the speakers we're going the janky way yeah all right all right here we go because this is great okay here we go on the screen let's get rid of us we're boring yep i mean we're cool that we're not as cool as this apparently people get this perception that i'm like some kind of like nazi mean boss watch now on float plane so yeah that's actually super sick who did that uh that was a prime oh cool as far as i know that is a dank af editor so if you want us what that trailer results in yeah that's on floor plan right now go check it out yeah and there's gonna be three episodes of uh a new moving vlog so organization vlog uh over the next over the next few weeks yeah and uh now's as good a time as any to sign up for float plane because don't forget guys that scrapyard wars season six will also be coming one week early to floatplane so yes it's gonna be good yes all right see you guys again next week same bad time same bat channel thank you for watching we'll see you next time i'm gonna fix this thing before i get confused next week there we go cool what was that day can you scroll back up oh god oh oh that's no i understand the question uh wants to know if i don't know when that's happening yeah i don't know either that's a good question um someone wanted who is this uh boogerbomb01 wanted to know if all the construction mezzanine update videos that were exclusive will still be on the platform once we finally accept payment methods other than paypal i'll tell you what i will oh the mezzanine yeah i'll find it we'll find a way to get them up yeah yeah okaywelcome to the rancho starting again which will make no sense to those of you watching the vibe uh we've got we're totally doing this for the first time we've actually got some pretty crap topics this week no yep they're crap um we do have we can polish it you can polish the crap as long as it's not diarrhea oh man try and polish diarrhea you just end up that would be a more advanced process well you could like uh put it in like an ice cube tray oh so you freeze it freeze it freeze it then polish it yeah more work possible i mean can you imagine a poop ice cube like what would be a what would be an appropriate context for that i mean if you if you're if you need improvised projectiles that might also cause disease yeah so if you're this far into the show and you're thinking is this going to be one of those ones where they actually have tech news or is this going to be one of the ones where they just bs for an hour hopefully that's already clear we do have some we do have some real topics though uh crash plan for home says au revoir that's goodbye in italian um they are pulling out of the home market samsung's boss and heir jailed for corruption jails oh this just in intel's eighth generation mobile processors are just updated seventh generation tips tips chips they're not tips at all i'm sorry i'm having i'm having one of those but the tip of them has been updated i'm going to argue jet lag essentially the same jet lag you know i was in new york this week right yeah but didn't oh no you got back yesterday i got back here i i i got uh okay i was at the airport in new york at 5 30 eastern time yesterday whoa so at 3 30 home time i was at an airport getting on what would have been a 5 30 our time flight getting off uh no on boarding at this airport at that airport then i flew for six hours and i got off the plane at 10 30 a.m our time and came to the office for the day so i'm going with it i'm going with the juice i did seem very tired that day and i was like huh okay sure well did you notice that i was only gone for about 35 hours i wasn't here yeah to new york and back plus doing the entire samsung event on my own on your own okay i only vaguely heard about it i had no camera person why because you know what okay we'll get to it after the intro so the vega shortage could last until october intro i mean who really cares who is buying vega okay does this work i don't know uh not yet okay what the crap wait what about the other one why don't i just try the other one yeah okay uh um sponsors fresh books they're both books that are fresh yeah the drinking stuff is turkey it's less fresh because it's preserved because it's jerky it's smoked but relative relative to jerky yeah relative to other jerky i guess it's fresh yeah um in that there's less preservatives and nitrates um yeah okay hold on i'm gonna put this back but why isn't my screen share working confused confused disappointed and disappointed and uh hold on i didn't have the thing on and no it's still not working still not working i don't understand um also this might be this is like not working is that the official end of xsplit the end of xsplit i don't know okay well that's avio um has issues with x-play yeah blames it on xsplit and refuses to do things because they blame it on xbox yeah that's um episode episode yeah no i'm so okay that's probably a topic of discussion is it finally time for us to move to obs let's find out um and actually another good discussion topic that we've got here is is floatplane dying i don't know what would make people think that but that is definitely a i'm stoked on that as a topic of conversation i have no idea where that came from is that posted in the doc what were we talking about before we rolled the intro and i said we were going to talk about it after the intro uh i don't know crap i have no idea whatsoever maybe twitch chat will help us with this is floatplane dying where did you get that from but i'm uh it's not yeah it's not hold on are they gonna help us it's doing quite well people are asking if i dye my hair oh the trip to new york that's right oh i dyed my hair i'm only 31. i can't believe i'm 31. that's not too bad it's not too great you look like a very young 31. thanks that's like saying you know for a corpse you really don't look that decomposed you don't look like you're in your throat so don't worry about it i wouldn't assume that you're in your 30s you've aged a lot since you like had kids and started this country thanks but me too it started nice it started you look really great for your 30s then it's like but wow man you are really on a downward slope dude i am too yeah but you can just shave your beard and you go to okay yeah you know what i'm going after it because this is this is payback time baby all right your face looks horrible enough that you have to hide it right here bam that's right screw you dick i mean the old but at least i can show my face where is it i wonder if i can find it there's the instagram posts from when i had to shave for that video that we didn't get to release yeah i know the oh the comments on there are hilarious i think there's people that like legitimately think i'm a different person okay but you know what though in your defense i think part of what i think part of why it doesn't work for you though is because your hairdo is kind of like you have like kind of i think i think it did better when i had like the spikes you have a choir boy hairdo but then you offset it with the kind of rugged facial hair yeah so when you have like the no facial hair and then you just have like the nice kind of yeah you just you go kind of like yeah kind of choir boy yeah um i think when i had when i had the spikes or when i just had like the faux hawk kind of deal or just short hair in general i think it i think it did a little bit better yeah uh okay so we were supposed to talk about the trip to new york okay so here's what went down okay um i have never been invited to a samsung launch event before this is the first because you've just had like the meetings yeah so i've had meetings with like samsung canada yeah where i'll go to like a hotel in vancouver or a restaurant one time and i'll get briefed on the phone and a lot of the time this is like a week or two after yes like the unpacked event and marquez and jonathan morrison and austin all those guys like have full reviews up and i'm getting briefed and i'm seeing the device for the first time because get this because it's just launching in canada now yeah which is so like super stupid as though i should give any cares when it launches in canada nobody cares when a device launches in canada and the kind of stuff they'll cover at these briefings is great they're like yeah and the blue color is gonna be available exclusively on rogers why i did have uh okay someone will find out from the video that they're interested in the phone go to rogers.com and be like oh there's blue and they'll buy it cool or they'll slap a skin on it anyways or they'll never go to rogers.com and never know that they had a blue one and not care yeah in all likelihood if we're being honest right now vast vast percentage of people so that's what would always happen so i was super stoked to get an invite to the samsung unpacked event because that meant that i could actually do a hands-on video at the same time that the and every other press in the world mind you the verge had an article or had a video up while austin and i were sitting there at the audience going why do we even attend these things like honestly why are we even why are we even here what's the point um but that's a whole other conversation um the verge had a video so they so they in so they invited me up and i was like oh this is great yeah i'd love to go do it um you know you want to build that relationship i want to i want to be timely on mobile stuff if i can at all manage to do it and then i'm like okay yeah so we need two tickets me and a camera person which i think is fairly reasonable for a publication of our impact and they're like oh sorry um you can't bring a camera person and i'm like okay well can i just pay for their ticket and pay for their hotel or even just share a room like i don't care like most of the camera people here i'm buddy buddy enough with that we could just share a room no problem um and then they're like no we can't get you another ticket for the event so even if i brought my own camera person there you can't get them inside they could only get me one one ticket into the event because again it's because i'm going through samsung canada samsung canada had 12 tickets for the entire country i was i was going as far as like is this like a fire marshal issue like they literally can't bring more people into the building it was full but the problem is that canada's allocation was so little of it right that so austin had three people there because but he didn't get his hotel and flight paid for and he didn't get like there was this activation after where why did he need three people i was supposed to have to get this i was supposed to have two to three thousand dollars to go experience new york with the note 8. and they were like yeah you could do like a chopper flight or you could do this you could i didn't end up doing anything because i was busy editing my stupid video that i shot that day so i didn't even end up using it but it was like you guys you guys have all this like influencer budget but i can't bring a camera person to the event with me come on so austin didn't have that because that was just something samsung canada was doing but this just all leads back to like a a larger fundamental issue which is how fragmented yes yeah where one company samsung okay they have the verge going live where i don't know why hashtag free luke is being spammed i don't know what it means so they have the one company has the verge going live with a preview yeah well the entire rest of the world press which has like astronomically more views than the rest of the stuff in their channel while the entire rest of the world press is sitting in an auditorium waiting for the presentation to start they've got um the us and canada and whatever other countries with wonko allocations for press they've got and and they've got completely different programs for i would consider myself and austin pretty similar in terms of what we are youtubers influencers like we fall in the same category and he's gotta buy his flight buy his hotel but he can get as many tickets as he wants i get a free flight free hotel and a few grand to spend on doing something cool in new york but i can't bring a camera operator yeah so so it's just all over the place um and i just i feel like somewhere at some point what could have even been sort of interesting is if they gave you like one of those phone gyro things and like you were able to bring an editor and they got you to like film the whole thing on the phone yeah and they like gave you a phone to talk about and display and they give you a phone to film with yeah and you're able to bring an editor so they could actually edit the exactly that would be pretty neat and the other thing too though is consistency like i no one's going to be upset if everyone's kind of doing the same thing yeah but like honestly and i don't me i hope she i sincerely doubt she's watching but there was another person in the media on the media side of the presentation that was sincerely taking notes from the presentation on a little pad of paper and wrote down like 10 things and i'm kind of sitting here going like how are you even covering this like what are you are you gonna fold that up tie it to a pigeon and mail it to someone like what are you doing what are you doing i've taken i've taken written notes before such that you are relevant enough to be here and that you're yeah but she wasn't it wasn't a speed thing because she didn't even write anything okay she was sitting right in front of me and i'm sitting here going what could you possibly be doing that doesn't require you to digitize this at some point yeah one of the things that i like about paper notes and i know this isn't what you're saying i'm just we have to talk a lot today because we have no news so i'm going for it yeah um is is that it's kind of like the one note idea if i had like a surface book that i had folded back with a pen then sure but that's i don't have that what no stop so like i can stop part way through and draw something or do whatever i need to okay she does nothing and the notepad was like this big see that's crazy it's really hard to see i normally have big ones like this and we're sitting in a dark auditorium because it's like a presentation yeah anytime that i've sat down at a presentation if i had the option i did laptop or even phone but if i'm like being walked around a booth really quickly i often just write right so you know right tool for the job and i totally get that but it was just like like why are you even here yeah um so what else we uh what else we got for today actually oh oh uh why don't we talk about is floatplane dying slowplane dying i don't i don't even understand no okay is that it yeah that was it in other news are we gonna finally move to obs because my uh laptop screen capture is still not working why don't you talk about pros and cons while i see if i can figure this out okay so uh if people have watched my little stream i don't know if i've ever talked about it on the wan show but i've done quite a few different attempts of moving off of xsplit to obs because the amount of rain that happens from everybody about how obs is so much better because it's open source uh convinced me to try it a few a few times and i decided that i didn't like it every single time until recently and i'm sure i'm gonna receive an email about this or a tweet or something but i've been having a huge amount of problems with xsplit and i'm not the only one and a lot of them have to do with capture cards and other different types of things that we're trying to use and i'm getting feedback from these companies that make these devices that it just doesn't work on xsplit and they're blaming xsplit and they're refusing to do anything about it so like i'm pretty sure the stream deck doesn't work on xsplit and we've had tons of problems with it right yeah so the stream deck i don't know uh what just happened oh dear oh crap did you unplug the sdi uh maybe hold on well we theoretically still have audio so i'm just going to keep talking so you don't really need to see me anyways um so continuing from there i wanted to play horizon zero dawn and i couldn't so i started trying to look into obs and man there's been some leaps and bounds in terms of how good and functional obs is and it's still in my opinion a very clunky ui i think they have made a number of objectively terrible uh design decisions but functionality wise it does really well the transgender stuff it does it does well with the audio levels the audio stuff on xsplit is just ah why there's just like a volume bar that you can change the level of and like a tiny very hard to see level bounce that's just on the bottom of the volume bar not in its own area very difficult to see is completely beyond me and obs has individual levels for all your things that are very easy to see all the time that's wonderful there's some really clunky things about it but it works very well in terms of the back end stuff and we use epiphan avio capture cards because they're wonderful and they don't like overheat and do other junky things that a lot of other capture cards that we've used have done um but they have compatibility issues with xsplit and talking it came up over the last little while yeah yeah it's it seems to be new um and that's very frustrating so yeah moving off of something that is theoretically paid for to something that is free because the free thing is better is just odd um i hope i hope x split figures but yeah okay so uh this next news item is actually from my email so hopefully i don't expose anything critical but it doesn't look like it crash plan for home is going away thank you for using crashplan for home we hope you have enjoyed the secure backup that the free version of crashplan for home has provided as of today we've made the decision to shift our business strategy to focus on the enterprise and small business segments wow so this kind of sucks because crash plan was like the go-to for quick painless easy off-site backup of your entire system so in theory and you know there's some port forwarding and whatever else that goes along with it but in theory crash plan was as simple as going okay here's all the stuff i want to back up here's my buddy's crash plan code click and then it would send over an encrypted version of all of that stuff in like an encrypted container file so that in the event that you had some kind of a catastrophic system failure you would be able to at the very least back up all of your all of your precious memories and all that and you you you didn't necessarily even have to trust the person on the other side you just had to have enough of a working relationship with them that you'd be able to get physical access to the data at some point or even back it up online if you uh if you didn't have so much that it would take like weeks to download or whatever the case may be so as long as you you didn't even have to trust each other you just had to have like a bilateral agreement that kind of goes hey i'll have some extra storage in my place you have some extra storage at your place we'll back up to each other boom done um and right now i'm not a hundred percent sure exactly what we're going to um well it says support small business so what does that mean well how much does that cost i'm using this personally though and small business is i believe i forget but it's like a significant cost per device okay yeah so it and it really is priced like a small business solution um click to get crash plan for small business here we go so let's have a look at what we got here so i'm in a bit of a better spot because way back now to be completely honest i got that synology nas yep and i can synology to synology yes mirror which is actually quite nice there's other things you can do too on your own um but nothing that's as elegant as this and this was like the cross platform thing because you could so i could use it on a windows desktop and i could be backing up to a crash plan docker container on an unraid server for example so that was super cool um but yeah no here we go it's ten dollars per device per month wow for the business one yeah so it's 120 bucks a year and what kind of sucks about this it says you can migrate all your cloud back up something something yeah i don't think it yeah it does not support computer to computer backups anymore so that super sucks because that was the whole that was the whole reason why i would use crashplan because it's going from thing i own to thing that i own or is like a thing my friend owns instead of relying on you know some corporation somewhere to keep all of this stuff safe like i like the idea of having everything on my servers and especially not having to pay extra for more cloud storage if i have a bunch of crap i want to back up like if i have a gigabit internet connection at my office i would love to be able to just flood it and they're not going to like so what happens if you've already got this stuff set up because isn't this local software it is local software um i believe though that they can just can it remember yeah i believe they can can it because the way that friends are tracked is through authentication through the software yeah so it's not something where you just point it at an ip and it just goes okay yeah so maybe they maybe they've had this in the plan for a long time uh maybe maybe the people who are smarter than me are gonna go find some version that you can kind of roll back to where it all works or something like that i'm not sure but in the meantime um i'm definitely gonna be looking for some other kind of solution and that's pretty frustrating um scroll all the way down all the way down all the way down all the way to the bottom almost right there sponsor a little bit up a bit half-life three oh you gotta be kidding me nope actually not so this was originally posted on the forum by n2a newt and uh let's go ahead and just kind of wow that is that was way too broken there you go um that looks pretty good so half-life 2 episode 3's story released by mark laidlaw the lead writer for the half-life series who left valve last year wow i have a feeling this could get him in a lot of trouble i really hope he's sought out legal counsel yeah i hope he's lawyered up man um wow that's pretty crazy it's on github and i believe it's in like quite a few other places as well it's on pastebin uh because people are worried about it being brought down which is not surprising at all um apparently it wraps up a lot of loose ends it's essentially half-life two episode three um yeah wow apparently it the corrected versions where it like fixes the genders and fixes a few words that he like changed that can't be enough to save him at all but whatever um is like a very coherent and plausible plotline so it's from a fictional character named gertie fremont yeah but if you change that yeah who recounts her team up with feisty partner alex vaughnt to find the hyper borea luxury liner which must be uh yeah so wow so he's like probably gonna get owned i really like uh so there's no way of knowing whether this was a finalized plot line we have no way of knowing how far into development half-life 2 episode 3 this could be a first draft yep um but apparently he was the primary architect of half-life's plot and his departure from valve last year was widely seen as acknowledgment that episode three was completely dead so maybe if i can speculate wildly without looking into anything that this guy has said publicly at all because we don't have a lot of notes it's just the lan show anyway um yeah why not right let's just yolo it yeah yeah so yeah fake news warning yeah um but i would i would assume that maybe this is like he's the main architect for the plot it said that right there this is probably like his masterpiece right so while he might get screwed for this maybe he just doesn't care because like if you created this and like the whole internet is like we want it so bad yeah and it's like the greatest work you've done i don't know i don't know what else he's worked on yeah i mean i can see how someone would feel like that like but half-life is amazing so that would be like an amazing thing to be the greatest thing you can i'll tell you something like we've considered just going live with the channel super fun top gun shop for shot volleyball scene recreation and just taking the copyright strike just so that people can watch it like having it up there for long enough that some people can watch it before it gets ripped down because like they're not going to delete our channel no realistically we're not a big enough target to get sued into oblivion by uh what is it columbia pictures and if we do what we just give them all the profits from the video can't remember well no no there's more to it than there's more to it than that but like realistically they're not gonna they're not gonna put a target on their own back by like trying to shut down i like to think a fairly you know beloved youtube creator company like yeah like the amount of public backlash over suing us into a crater over us just doing a fan yeah remake of a scene from one of their movies like come on it seemed it seems very implausible at some people like it at ltx yeah yeah yeah like at some point before an actual lawsuit occurs some human looks at something and makes a decision as to whether or not to proceed with it and it's not necessarily as simple as the black and white of law yeah it's like is this worth the pr is this worth the cost is this worth the effort yeah and like that but like what you just said just to dive further into this topic that i know nothing about um could be a reason why valve might not go for this guy valve is the like dream child of all the pc gamers but remember to okay less so these days for one thing and if you don't protect your ip then you will be seen as soft and you could open yourself up to this kind of leak all the time yeah and all of a sudden valve who might not have a ton of employees but in terms of revenues and profits is a gigantic company i uh no i i think i think they actually have no choice but to go after him as hardcore as they can like if honestly that sucks if i was them i would do it just because you can't set a precedent like that and you can't have someone you can't make it okay for that to happen because someone might actually come out with a game with gertie fremont and alex vaughn that is like the exact thing like here and call it like quarter life span three let's draw a parallel right um so let's say that um let's say that you decided to quit or something like that you don't um yeah i know you're like half half way out the door already but the point is let's say you decided yeah like what what like three months or something yeah let's say you decided to quit and as the last thing that you did you went around the office and you grabbed your scrap yard wars pc yeah and um let's just let's just try and think of like some you know what there that's that's i was going to say the bomb but that's true the bomb's kind of yours already anyway like i think the plasti dip on it is mine yeah it's not even plastic yeah yes but the paint belongs to me well the plastic you can take the whole middle section yeah the whole middle section yeah yeah but but let's say the scrapyard wars pc where indisputably linus media group paid for oh yeah no that's yeah and it was created on work time which your employee agreement states that the things you create are the intellectual property of this company i know that's that's works which i'm sure he has a very similar agreement in place certain so let's say that you took off with it and you were like i'm not giving this bag i would have no choice even though i don't actually care and as far as i'm concerned you can have it because that would be i didn't give you permission yeah you just couldn't that then be used against you if someone else does it possibly yes because you said a precedent that this is okay yes and that could be seen as like a benefit of working here or something or something either way i'm creating the potential for this to come back and become a problem and honestly in this case the stakes are even so much lower than someone you know leaking the plot of an unreleased game oh yeah definitely that's that's taking some property and like displaying it in my house probably yeah the other thing would be taking property and giving it to everyone that's right that would be like taking a video that we never released that i made yeah and giving it to everyone on my own channels later yep where even if you had no intention of profiting from it this is something that a lot of people don't necessarily understand is the definition of profit does not necessarily come down to the money that luke makes like let's say that luke took it and did a stream on his twitch channel where he specifically the nda expired so is the argument here that the statute of limitations is up because it's been a year or something like that well his nda yeah his nda from working there has apparently so there's a difference between that's very yeah an nda and intellectual property yeah and stealing into and disclosing something that's under if he was like if he was like i had a fully written script for half-life 2 episode 3 that would be a perfect example of something that would be nda'ed but not intellectual property um so anyway so back to literally the script back to the example let's say luke decided that for that stream all the money that came in was going to go to a charity or he was going to turn off monetization um for the video where he displayed that video yeah um he still profits in the sense that if eva if i can prove that even a single person went and watched that stream who wouldn't have otherwise he profited off of the thing that didn't belong to him that he stole from linus media group in the sense that he gained notoriety people were saying get john i didn't uh yeah we could go get john actually uh he's uh he's upstairs we can you know what why don't we come back to this topic a little bit uh a little bit later in this i want to say two things before we get john here so that like everyone remembers so we can bring this up one some people are comparing this to h3h3 that's not it at all no it's not it's content that was released by someone else that was used in minor form for parody completely drastically different situation and another one this would be sort of comparable to someone working at like dreamworks and they make a bunch of like internal animations and different shorts all this different kind of stuff that they don't get to completion and then they quit and then a year later they just release all of these publicly yeah that's we'll get john here but i'm like pretty down i feel pretty good about the position that i've taken on it but hey he could always come in and tell me i'm wrong in the meantime uh why don't we do ourselves it's also america so the laws are like slightly different uh what do we got for wow you know what's funny is we actually thought we didn't have a lot of topics this week but we've got a fair bit that we still have a fair bit to talk about so let's uh let's get through this first box okay fresh books so if you're a small business owner or a freelancer uh let's say you do construction on the side or

one one more topic and then you can come back and use my laptop use my laptop yeah okay in the meantime i want to jump into one of our other topics here someone messed with me someone put a spicy one in the cracked pepper and sea salt and it's delicious as usual but i have the hiccups now because i wasn't expecting it that wasn't me that actually wasn't me i wouldn't be surprised if it was ivan jack jackass is everywhere what's his plan his plan was to like uh have a whole bunch in the line you don't know which one's the spicy one and it's like roulette oh lordy we should do that as a channel super fun kind of a fun channel beef jerky roulette all right this was originally posted over on ars technica and intel's not really hiding it but they recently launched eighth generation mobile chips and the um the assumption i think from a lot of people even fairly tech savvy i assumed this the assumption was that an eighth generation mobile chip would be coffee lake which is their upcoming architecture nope these quad core dang it these quad-core u-class mobile chips which by the by the way is pretty freaking sick so base clocks of anywhere from 1.6 to 1.9 gigahertz and boost clocks of 3.4 to 3.9 gigahertz at four core cores with and these are all 15 watt parts are pretty darn impressive and are gonna enable a completely new class of mobile device like i'm really looking forward to see if lg does a 2018 gram with these processors right yeah or or something like it because a quad core is really the only thing i'm missing you've already got an nvme ssd you've already got 16 gigs plus of ram so the one thing missing is more multi-threading performance and they're even hyper threaded so we're talking four cores eight threads these things look sick unfortunately this is not nearly the shift that we were possibly expecting they are built on a somewhat refined version of intel's 14 nanometer manufacturing process and even though they're calling them 8th gen they are actually much more similar both cpu and gpu to the 7th generation kaby lake so they're calling these kb lake refresh which if my experience has anything to go on basically means kaby lake yeah um and it's frustrating because the whole idea really can be like with like a better understanding of their bidding yeah the whole idea and well intel is iterating all the time so it's kaby lake refresh but they're probably already using all the things they learned in other kaby lake chips as it is because they are making changes over time um sorry john we're almost ready for you sorry um but it's frustrating because the whole idea behind this gen thing is you're supposed to be able to understand what generation the freaking thing is architecturally and now we've got seventh generation processors on the hedt side that are skylake based we've got seventh generation processors on the mainstream side that are kaby lake based and then we've got eighth generation processors that are kaby lake based is nothing sacred no so um yeah oh but to be clear the hedt ones i'm talking about are like the 7900x so that because it has a seven it's seventh gen but it is actually a sixth generation sky lake architecture so now there's gonna have to be like the intel version and there's gonna have to be like the enthusiast who has who's keeping track of this on their own version of what gen everything is all right so let's feel like we're gonna need another tech quickie video let's let john jump in and talk about this whole half-life three thing i'll give you my spot do you have to leave nope here we go okay so half-life three how does how does this work because we think linus and i are both in agreement right now that some people in the chat are saying like oh his nda lifted but we don't think this is an nda thing in our opinion it would be covered under nda if he was just like i had completed a script for half-life uh two episode three and that's all he says that seems like an nda style thing him actually releasing all the content does not seem like an nda protected action i mean ndas can be written pretty broadly though yeah you can you can ride in nda so what right but what we're saying is like um people are saying that the nda has lifted because he hasn't worked there for a year so he's released this content not being a employee of valve anymore and people are saying that he's fine because the nda lifted does that make any sense uh it does okay sorry if i seem a little bit confused you seem very confused well no it's it's more that um i don't i can't really think of a reason why that wouldn't make sense honestly okay so if i work at linus tech tips and we make a series of videos called scrapyard wars and we make scrapbook works it's hypothetical here we make scrapyard wars episode seven and ed finishes editing them but then linus hates me so fires me and doesn't want to release the episodes anymore because it wants nothing to do with me and i have all the copies of the episodes and i released them somewhere else because my nda expired how does that make any sense uh well you're covering different things with an nda versus just a separate agreement saying that you don't own copyright in it but this is this is content like did you actually see the post i read the bullet points below it no yeah no this is what he released okay which is like the script so he like changed the well it's like it's a letter from one character to another and the names and places have been changed but it's extremely obvious but like gordon freeman is uh what uh gerta something dirty fremont yeah or frement or something so wouldn't the storyline be considered ip and wouldn't that be covered separately from an nda you could cover it under both anytime there's no i don't see a reason you couldn't do that so so do you think it's possible that he's off the hook here is he in trouble with valve is valve no one knows no one knows yet we're trying to figure out if he's in trouble with valve yeah i feel like valve wouldn't construct their nda in a way that makes it so you can just release whatever you worked on after you leave for a year i don't know why anyone would ever do that that makes no sense it could be but like i was saying you could it could be under it could be covered under something else that isn't an nda so even if they say if they structure something that says right but we're talking about if it's not covered not if it is covered uh okay so you're you're asking me if this isn't covered by an nda yeah i'm not asking if it's covered by other things because we don't know we don't know there's no information about that at all all we know calculating what the likelihood is that he's okay here based on what based on because you're asking that he revealed the plotline of something that he was working on at valve and is therefore the intellectual property of valve after leaving i mean i have no way to say like it it completely depends on like how much valve values this information so and who knows if they do or not you know or were they you know were they actually planning to release a sequel or not so interesting okay i had thought uh i had thought it'd be a little more open shut than that like well we're making some assumptions we're making assumptions that valve is gonna aggressively protect its intellectual property regardless of whether it mattered or not uh because it sets kind of a bad precedent if they just let people walk away with this stuff well i mean you're right in that it probably would be considered ip like you're you're you are probably right about that but like at the same time is if you're going to sit here and ask oh how much trouble is he possibly in yeah impossible to say it really depends on what valve wants to do so yeah all right thank you yep so so it sounds like we weren't that far off we were just making kind of a different set of assumptions about how we think valve would behave yeah that may or may not be right so we're just gonna have to wait and see how this one shakes out according to apparently um he has released a tweet i don't know where it went i lost the click sure why don't you have a look while i jump in and talk about the vega shortage okay so this was originally posted over on videocards.com and actually there's a post by coaxial gamer over on the forum and the original article there is from pcgamesn.com but apparently the vega shortage could last until october in spite of amd's efforts to keep rx vega prices low so uh this is from video cards according to well-informed sources of digi times you should not expect to find rx vega in stores at least at a normal price until october while amd promised to prepare a high to prepare a high volume of rx vega graphics cards for launch the reality was that many countries apparently did not receive a single unit of the new flagship card the problem allegedly lies in the complexity of the vega chips other sources claim that this issue may lie in advanced semiconductor engineering packaging technology if i had to guess and this would be pure speculation i would say it probably has a lot to do with hbm too and maybe not necessarily even the amount of hbm2 that amd can buy but possibly as much as that to do with amd simply not wanting to buy that much hbm2 right now because right now they're one of the only ones using it so if they put in a massive order they would themselves inherently spike the pricing of something that is a very limited commodity and that just you can i mean anyone can look at this on dram exchange something that went up drastically in price in the couple of weeks before rx vegas official launch so if i was amd i would be probably trying to ride it out until another competitor starts building hbm2 which is supposedly going to happen fairly soon and i would be um yeah like i wouldn't be going out of my way to produce a bunch of cards that i'm maybe not even making money on i'm just i'm speculating though yeah that's fair uh one thing i want to add i found i found the tweet he tweeted saying my website's down for now i guess a fanfic is popular even a gender-swapped snapchat snapshot of a dream i had many years ago so is that him backpedaling on i don't even know how because he wants to be is he forward pedal at all or did the internet just freak out maybe i don't know yeah it could be a case i kind of think it's probably fairly not a big deal and i'm gonna make another wild assumption based on no information um because fake news is really fun rancho man um but my idea here is that it's on his own website his pinned tweet is him trying to sell books that he's written he's trying to sell books that he's written an easy way to get a whole bunch of traffic to his website which did happen and to get more interest around him and his books is so if it happened on the thing that he if it legitimately had nothing to do with any kind of planet valve then i think it's fine because i believe fanfic is like okay i think you're allowed to do that and letting the internet go full conspiracy theory is a great marketing tactic i don't know how long interesting took until he clarified it right i like your new theory i like that one the most um okay in other news uh this was from pcgamesn.com amd says they're trying to keep prices of rx vega low though so after the price is inflated after launch amd now says it's trying its best to get those prices to where we suggested when we launched them so their amd's gerald youngblood says our sep so that's suggested prices and the price tag that we announced is our full intention of where we would suggest the product be priced not just for launch but ongoing they said the price surge due to overwhelming demand and that the filling of retailers inventory is key to getting the prices of vega down to their original pre-launch levels um yeah that makes sense uh but again so we're looking at amd having to um having to put pressure on retailers which a lot of the time manifests as like a rebate or something and you know that whole thing broke a little while ago we expressed our frustration with yeah yeah again this is more evidence for amd not really having um much motivation to provide as much vega as they possibly can right now because here's what you guys need to understand amd does not profit from the mining craze and from the prices being jacked up 200 on the shelf the retailer and or the opportunistic reseller who runs out to a store whenever they find it at regular price and then flips it on ebay they profit amd doesn't want that because they're effectively creating a bunch of hate in their community and a bunch of anger and they don't even get to make more money out of it yeah so you so you shouldn't really think about this emotionally you have to think about it rationally it's it's not in amd's best interest unless they are actually raising the price of the product which is going to piss everyone off to have the street price be high um so you know i've talked to them um i can't share everything that was shared with me but i'll say benefit of the doubt um i still and you can go back and watch last week's wine show if you want to know what i'm upset about i'm still upset about pretty much all of it amd could have done a way better job of communicating the way that they were handling this launch pricing because if they had told me that it was going to be through rebates i would have known that the entire thing was going to be a cluster and this is okay so this is a situation where like i've never been on the other end so i don't know there's unknown variables here but sometimes the communication stuff that happens directed towards us from a wide variety of companies i'm not even going to narrow down to amd right now is just very not good yeah and it doesn't seem that hard well it seems hard when you make things hard on yourself so a lot of the miscommunication around vega had to do with that they originally were going to just lift the embargo on vega 64 the flagship card and then at the last second decided to lift the embargo on 56. don't do that right but think about it this way it's not the people who are actually in the trenches with nvidia card in their right hand and upcoming amd card in their left hand testing them against each other who like actually know how this whole thing's going to shake down and how the press is going to react to it it's not those people making the decision unfortunately it's probably some executive making the decision and then ultimately and i told you so moment that takes place once the hardware is already in the hands of the reviewers and they get some initial feedback that hey this isn't going to be a super positive review because hey vega 64 is not crazy competitive like it's it's not a game changer guys um so some some executive who's in la la land probably got that feedback and mate was like okay fine let's do it your way let's launch the one that actually makes sense vega 56 at the same time so we don't end up with a bunch of negative press to lose our momentum that's probably how it went down and i'm speculating i told you guys i had a call with amd that was definitely not confirmed or talked about but that's what i would guess went on and that's how these things keep happening because it was the same bloody thing with ryzen 7. originally they were going to roll out the skus two weeks apart and then the last second they're like oh no we're lifting the embargo on all of them and only a handful of press actually got them all so they couldn't get them to us someone in the chat was like okay i don't i don't know where the message is so i'm gonna verbatim this and i'm gonna get a little bit of it wrong sorry but someone in the chat says something along the lines of um yeah but you were just blinded by wanting the profits of releasing the video on launch day i don't think that's valid personally i wasn't a part of the video creation process for that but from my view i don't think it's being blinded when to be able to see that you would have had to make extremely wild drastic assumptions that wouldn't have made any sense in the moment um yeah and it has that would have been very a very weird thing to assume here's the thing is i think people underestimate how much profit there is in having a video up um a day or two earlier for us the main issue from what i heard yeah and like again the reason why i keep on putting this in is because i'm actually outside of the circle but the main issue that i heard was that we had a completed video yeah we did that would have been a problem if we released yeah because now there was new information so we were correcting a problem we were we were completely done our vega 64 launch video with the air-cooled and the liquid-cooled card someone says ltt is totally sell-out we do sponsor spots yeah we do ads we work with companies but we are very transparent when we do so yep and that has not wanting to repeat work that you've done because someone else made a terrible last minute decision that screws you over i think it's a perfectly reasonable stance yeah and as for getting content out on launch day honestly we don't make a bunch more money for doing that um a youtube view is not worth nearly as much as you might think in terms of monetary value so yeah we'll get a few more views but for me it's more about making sure that we're perceived as a place that you go when you go and get like graphics card news about a new card that launches and if you know let's say let's say we weren't able to bring people in on the weekend if our video goes up and it's just vegas 64 and everyone else's video or written review goes up and it's vega 56 and vegas 64 it makes us look stupid and we don't want that and we shouldn't have to work through the weekend in order to do that companies should be respectful of our time and our schedules and the fact that we have lives and kids and other things we have to deal with um that's the issue what about likes are they worth more profit no likes are worth nothing exactly zero um some guys said luke likes negative comments uh they can be helpful because if someone's thinking those things genuinely it's good to address it and uh help them understand that they're wrong absolutely um okay this was posted originally on the forum by james had like an hour to throw together the dock today so i don't blame him for it not being there numlock21 yeah no and the original article here is from tom's hardware amd has gone into a little bit more detail about their epic and thread ripper chip designs uh claiming a 41 cost reduction which would actually account for the difference in price between amd's 16 core chip and intel's yeah which is pretty cool so they decided to go with um like this modular design versus a monolithic design because even though the modular design because of the interconnects is ten percent higher in cost so ten percent more die space apparently it saves so many failures allowing them to alright save so many failures that they can just take higher yield ones and quote-unquote glue them together that they actually reduce their cost by they estimate 41 that's pretty freaking cool that is actually very cool and that's very good for them specifically yeah to be honest and good for the consumer need to be making money so that they can actually keep doing things they like super do uh amazon has made its first big move with whole foods the original article here is from bloomberg um i want prime members to get discounts at whole foods so you can pay just a uh less inflated price for groceries and paper bags instead of plastic bags because you're a giant hipster not that i'm judging i've shopped at whole foods they also plan to make prime the customer rewards program at whole foods and products from whole foods private label 365 will be available on amazon they have not yet indicated a time frame for all these changes i technically have never shopped there but i've shopped at the like the like langley alternative oh okay yeah yeah it's um it's it's so it's so funny it's obvious it smells like health food the structure of it is very much like a um like a chain clothing store like a hollister i think is the one that always smells like cedar wood is it hollister i don't know i don't i don't know which clothing stores but um you know how you walk in remember the last time i was in a mall and they like feel really unique and then you go to another one of the same store somewhere else and it's exactly the same flavor of totally unique where it's this very um contrived yeah uh you know we do this totally differently than everybody else so uh yeah no i shopped at whole foods i think i've been there twice okay uh once because it was the only thing within walking distance of my hotel yeah and another time because i really needed an ice cream bar and i bought the only like with fat with dairy with gluten ice cream bar in the whole store actually no i think it was gluten-free by the way if you're in vancouver i believe this weekend or maybe only for one specific day but look it up uber is like coming here now to vancouver finally and i believe they're showing up by doing free ice cream bar deliveries oh so but i think it's only in vancouver sick i don't think they're doing all uber all the way out here if they are doing uber all the way out here i am getting my free ice cream bar actually even if not i might just like go down there to get a free ice cream bar because i'm going down there on saturday anyways what else do we have uh this is from bloomberg apple reported to unveil a new apple tv that'll be faster 4k hdr video blippitybloppity pixel 2 is coming october 5th rumor rumor rumor originally posted by techcrunch and um yep it looks like a phone it looks like a phone it looks like a pixel it it has a thing here that's kind of pixely yeah the bezels are smaller a lot smaller yep way smaller snapdragon 836 could have front-facing speakers i love that note that's my favorite note from today apparently a two to one aspect ratio okay i know that mathematically there's no reason to call um uh what is it yeah to call 16 by 10 16 by 10. right you could just as easily call it eight by five but for the sake of making life a little easier i kind of wish everyone would go like by nine since we all know what 16 by nine is yeah but what what is a two to one aspect ratio so that would be 18 by nine i guess yeah eighteen by nine but the fact that i have to convert it all the time is going to drive me crazy to be fair this probably affects almost no one but you so there's some rumors but i do understand where you're coming from uh 4.97 inch 1080p display for the smaller one with a six inch on the larger xl apparently it'll be provided by lg it'll support uh it'll sport four gigs of ram on board internal storage might get boosted to 64 gigs and uh it's probably got a great camera it might there's a lot of like it could it might yeah uh there's a it might drop the headphone port but like might have front-facing speakers it might have squeezable sides it might have bluetooth well it might be able to connect to the internet okay we don't know maybe they're going with the world's first modern smartphone without the internet wi-fi hotspot only i think we're probably done with this one and thank you for watching show we will see you again next week same bat time same bat chat oh spacex photos of the new spacesuit are actually super cool have you seen these fine you can do that i know i'm a fan boy but like they're pretty neat um all right fine we'll look at the new spacesuits these aren't the ones that i saw these aren't as cool oh they're still pretty cool those don't look that amazing no where's the cool ones those are just space suits where's the cool ones yeah i think you're just i think you're done i think that's the wrong article that is the wrong article okay here's the right article dang it james for throwing this together in an hour and screwing up one thing so far it also doesn't have the other photo whatever let's talk about floatplane stuff yeah floatplane not dead not dead definitely not dead doing great actually you had a meeting really today people were cool thanks for showing up guys at work on floatplane uh outdoor gaming the ultimate camping battle station i think we need a new thumbnail for this one that makes it more clear that we are in the middle of a forest gaming on like a freaking awesome gaming pc see mezzanine update i forgot to upload that i did at the last minute there this is a really cool video i think a lot of you will like it we designed the ultimate gaming tv have you seen this have you heard about this no so um alex and i worked on this together and we basically conceptualized what uh what a perfect tv for gamers would be and this is just a couple of we've probably got somewhere between six and ten features that tv makers for whatever reason have their heads too far up their exactly i heard about one of the features okay so one of them was an integrated um what's that stupid thing called that you have that um uh analog to digital converter what's that thing called again frame meister the framemeister so is it actually a framemeister so think about it think about this it doesn't have to be no as long as it was something quite similar so the framemeister actually here we're no okay we got the framemeister's probably like a little too overkill for most yes so it costs about 400 for a framemeister which is this external box that takes your analog source like a super nintendo or playstation one and converts it to hdmi with next to no latency because as you may or may not have noticed your tv if it takes in an analog source does a couple of things number one is even compared to its normal input lag it adds even more light and number two is it does a crap-tastic job of the conversion it'll look like garbage so the framemeister does a great job of both of those things at 400 it's a lot it's a lot but when you look at a premium tv you look at the bomb cost of a premium tv we're talking like five six seven thousand us dollars is it unreasonable to think a couple of things number one that by cheaping out on some stuff we don't care about like how thin it is that they could find some of that cost to spend on good analog to digital conversion and number two that they could achieve economies of scale that would make a framemeister cost a lot less it's not expensive hardware really aren't that many framemeisters that's one of the reasons why they're so expensive exactly so anyway that was one of the ideas so retro gamers could game on their new tv and have a not crap experience um so we've got a bunch of other ideas um a modular system for the speakers yeah that's the one thing i had heard about so you can take them off they just clip on and they have like just contacts that go or you could take them off reposition them run speaker wire and then you could add like the rest of the kit or something like that um display port in was one of the things we asked for so there's a bunch of stuff a lot of which would be very low cost to implement um a return to front i o right yeah like come on bring back front i o is nice i don't mind a little chin bar you know give me and so front uh front usb charging ports for controllers um for like uh vr accessories things like that so there's just a bunch of stuff we came up with we designed what we think is a gaming tv and we would love for the tv industry to you know maybe wake the crap up we took a look at the first all amd gaming pc from dell it's like taped onto the side well yeah but there's an actual chip inside too that was for illustrative purposes that's awesome how many pcie extensions is too many and the answer is a lot was it still working then you bet oh my god um that's crazy organization vlog day one wow we've actually got a lot of good stuff on here right now cool the last uh last week i think it was i wasn't that enamored with a lot of it organization vlog day one so this is basically a return to moving vlog this was what i watched the trailer for this yeah there's a trailer there's a have you not seen the trailer in the trailer we should play the trailer oh my goodness okay give me one second i will get the trailer is it on facebook or something nick send it to me what okay yeah forward it to me in the meantime um what else do we got i think there's at least one other like pretty pretty cool one uh let me just make sure that there's anything in here that we don't there was another one that i thought people were gonna like i don't know if we're allowed to share this allowed to share the trailer i guess you own the company so yeah okay yeah sure let's let's share it sick let's just let's just straight up yolo it um okay hang out to me well cool okay so i'm gonna go hide the ui yeah i'm doing it i'm doing it i'm going full screen so i don't screw myself again okay and oh man i don't know if i uh i don't know if i've got sound over hdmi right now i don't know if you guys are going to hear any of this um so i apologize in advance if everything is the audio is super helpful is it okay i'm just going to turn up the speakers we're going the janky way yeah all right all right here we go because this is great okay here we go on the screen let's get rid of us we're boring yep i mean we're cool that we're not as cool as this apparently people get this perception that i'm like some kind of like nazi mean boss watch now on float plane so yeah that's actually super sick who did that uh that was a prime oh cool as far as i know that is a dank af editor so if you want us what that trailer results in yeah that's on floor plan right now go check it out yeah and there's gonna be three episodes of uh a new moving vlog so organization vlog uh over the next over the next few weeks yeah and uh now's as good a time as any to sign up for float plane because don't forget guys that scrapyard wars season six will also be coming one week early to floatplane so yes it's gonna be good yes all right see you guys again next week same bad time same bat channel thank you for watching we'll see you next time i'm gonna fix this thing before i get confused next week there we go cool what was that day can you scroll back up oh god oh oh that's no i understand the question uh wants to know if i don't know when that's happening yeah i don't know either that's a good question um someone wanted who is this uh boogerbomb01 wanted to know if all the construction mezzanine update videos that were exclusive will still be on the platform once we finally accept payment methods other than paypal i'll tell you what i will oh the mezzanine yeah i'll find it we'll find a way to get them up yeah yeah okay\n"
