The Car Conundrum: A Father's Dilemma

As we sat down to discuss the topic of cars, I couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. My partner seemed resolute in their decision, and I was about to embark on a journey that would test my resolve. We were talking about whether or not to purchase a Tesla Model S, a car that seems out of our budget and beyond our practical needs.

The Problem with Financing

I couldn't shake the feeling that we were getting financing mixed up with a loan. When someone mentions financing, I assume it's a form of credit that allows us to use funds before paying them back. However, my partner seemed to think that financing was just a fancy word for "buying something." It wasn't until she explained that financing is actually a method of acquiring goods or services without immediately paying the full price that I began to understand her point.

The Model S: A Luxurious Ride

Our conversation turned to the Tesla Model S, a car that my partner had been eyeing. She mentioned the federal tax credit, which would make the car more affordable. However, I was still unsure if we could afford it. The cost of the car was estimated to be around $80,000 to $90,000 Canadian, plus additional features like Autopilot. My partner seemed adamant that she wanted to get the car, but I couldn't help feeling that it was a luxury beyond our means.

Practicality vs. Desire

As we weighed the pros and cons of purchasing the Model S, my partner pointed out that from a practical standpoint, it's not a good idea. The car is large, with seating for six people, and costs significantly more than other vehicles on the market. However, she also acknowledged that if I really wanted the car, she could make a case for why we should get one. It was clear that my desire for the Model S was driven by its performance and luxury features, rather than any practical need.

A Practical Alternative

My partner suggested an alternative solution: purchasing a very practical car that costs half as much and a super bike that also costs half as much. She pointed out that while the super bike might be exciting, it's not something we could realistically afford. I couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment at the thought of missing out on the thrill of driving a high-performance vehicle.

The Poll: A Straw Vote

As our conversation drew to a close, my partner suggested taking a straw poll to gauge our audience's opinion on the matter. She had created a URL that would allow us to vote anonymously, and we could see the results in real-time. I was skeptical at first, but it seemed like a fun way to get everyone involved.

The Results: A Clear Majority

As we checked in on the poll, it became clear that a majority of our audience members thought we should just go for it and buy the Model S. It was a landslide victory, with 56% of voters saying "yes" to purchasing the car. My partner seemed pleased with the results, but I couldn't shake the feeling that we still had a long way to go before making a decision.

The AE86: A Legendary Car

Finally, as our conversation came to a close, my partner mentioned the legendary Toyota AE86. She explained that it's a car that's often cited as one of the best drift cars ever made, and that it was featured in a popular VHS movie. I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the thought of this iconic vehicle.

Bye for Now

As we wrapped up our conversation, my partner bid us farewell, leaving me to ponder the decision at hand. It was clear that there were pros and cons on both sides, and that ultimately, it would come down to what we valued most: practicality or desire. Only time would tell which path we would choose.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso today i don't think i could handle it right now oh okay i have had a fairly terrible last couple of days um i i have been fighting with my my tape drive backup thing that basically doesn't work on the pc properly and the guys that make it are like yeah the truth of the matter is that the driver situation from ibm on down just isn't that great on the pc and it works better on a mac so then i've been trying to get a mac working with 10 gigabit and so i was using the macbook pro and 10 gigabit lan to be clear so i was using the macbook pro and i ran into uh bro remember when i called you earlier this week yeah asking if you had the corex yeah yeah so so i so so i managed to have uh um three external pci express docs four 10 gigabit network cards a variety of cables and i still couldn't manage to get like i even got down to the point where i had a thunderbolt chipset that apple hadn't specifically locked out because we don't want to support it yeah i managed to find one that didn't have a thunderbolt chip that was locked out so the enclosure worked on the mac and i even managed to get a 10 gig ethernet card with the exact same chipset that is already in use in the imac pro but that still doesn't work because there's some stupid beta of mac os that you have to like update from an older one too and then it will flash cards that are not like mac approved to be mac approved and then they just work because because the drivers are for the hardware not for like the stupid vendor id that actually doesn't matter but with apple it's just anthony's way of putting it i think is great it's magic numbers it's not about whether it should actually work or not it's about making sure it has the right magic number that's actually one of his theories about the uh the whole throttling issue with the macbook pro did you see this you hear about this the big thermal throttle i know yeah yeah yeah and apple fixes it with a mac os update that they said was firmware but doesn't seem to be firmware because it doesn't fix it in windows yeah so so it must just be like a magic number like a magic magic number detects the cpu correctly now no it doesn't behave stupidly oh good yeah thank goodness for a genuine apple approved hardware and nothing else working at all you want to hear my great story and then and then i've spent the last four hours dealing with this do you think it's gonna be done by the underwent i i hope so it's at 84 percent and that's like 54 when i said third reboot now so i think we're i think we're getting close i may duck out of when and just finish that this is the last thing i'm waiting for i just want to run cinebench sorry sorry everyone i'm just i'm having a rough day i just want to run cinebench and i can't if windows update is sucking back 25 of the cpu in the background right i just want to know how much faster it is than last gen and i was thinking maybe i'd compare it to the surface go since that arrived today tried to live stream the surface go turns out another video project we're working on which is really cool by the way basically we're given the we're given the this to google but in a way that's like not just to spite them it's just we are abusing their services oh yeah i know in a way that's really cool well it turns out we're also abusing fully within the terms abusing the cpu of our router oh yeah so it looks like that killed our stream earlier we where we literally oh like overloaded our router cpu and remember this is not some this isn't some wimpy bs it's a rack mounted rope yeah this isn't this is an edge router pro from ubiquity oh okay like it's not some hundred thousand dollar stupid like cisco thing or anything like that but it is not an insubstantial piece of networking machinery um i love this i love this you sit and wait for hours for it and then it's got this very friendly just hold on for a second we've got some updates for your pc no no you had updates for my pc four hours ago this might take several minutes yeah at this point what dennis you want to hear my story i need you here from my story so i want to get out before we're done should we do the intro first sure okay let's just whatever there's tech news we're gonna talk about some stuff next gen intel road map leaks also google oh my goodness search engine there's rumors about apple's worth a trillion dollars boom crazy people are hating on the ubiquity haters it's one of those technology categories where it's just entirely responsible yeah it's greater greater than greater than it's greater than greater than oh because you've got linux fanboys in the mix too no that's freebsd yeah whatever you know what i mean um actually oh gosh anyways okay so did you remember at the end of last stream how i revealed how i i finally bought a new chair yeah oh what now so the story of my chair is someone sat on the arm and it broke the like middle support so basically my chair was tilted like this for four years in defense of your chair that someone was very likely to break that chair yes yep yep in fairness to your chair yep i mean but to like to compensate so i was looking straight at my monitor i basically sat like this for four years and then recently went to physio and he was like wow you need a new chair you're an idiot so i decided to get a new chair did a whole bunch of research took like a month over a month for the chair to show up it's supposed to like keep you in a specific spot so that your spine is like correctly aligned it's not supposed to be super comfortable it's supposed to keep you in the right spot right it's kind of like a racing chair except not for a car so it actually makes sense for going fast on your computer yeah anyways the expected ends up the expected delivery date was uh august 6th you might notice it is not that day yet i have had the chair for a while um on i believe the 31st of the 30th i don't remember if it was this monday or this tuesday i went out to get some lunch i had finished a relatively major milestone you know i was like you know what i'm gonna i'm gonna reward myself with a booster juice so i decided to go outside and get some boosters as i'm walking out yeah it is not that cheap cost as much as a meal but then you have to like four dollars yeah yeah i don't get them that often but i was like yeah yeah i'm gonna this is this is good i was very more than four dollars i was very happy anyway carry on so i i go walk outside as i'm walking outside i was like whoa there's a giant cardboard box in the lawn that's weird and i just keep walking and then i'm like i should probably like bring that inside just in case it's like my upstairs neighbors and i go and i look at it closer and i see herman miller plastered on the side of it and i'm like what they just left it on the lawn they just left it on the lawn no notification text message no notification email i had no idea i still have no idea how long it was sitting there when i moved it there was very much an impression in the grass so it had been sitting there for a while possibly all night because sometimes i don't leave my house for a while so i have no clue how long it was there super expensive chair big logo on the side of the box just left in the front lawn for who knows how long no notification that was there nothing they didn't knock they didn't even notice they didn't nothing happened so i'm immediately pissed off i i i bring it inside i go get my food i come back i go to open it first of all there's like it's the worst cardboard box as the outer shell that i've like ever seen and there's there's like rips where the handles were because the guy's handling it and like i don't even blame them because if you try to pick it up it just rips because it's just a terrible cardboard box right but i'm thinking in my head like oh it's there'll be an in internal carton right no big deal i open that up nope not only is there no internal carton that is literally the entire box for the chair there's also zero packing foam or protection of any form at all in the entire box so it's just the chair just sitting this rattling i was able to turn it around while it was inside the box just because i wanted to kind of try it out and see how it goes like it was actually the worst unboxing experience that i have ever had that same day i like opened up a box for a mouse and was like wow this is a way better experience than the ludicrously obscenely illogically expensive chair that i just bought i was so mad it's fine it like creaks when you move around it's mostly made out of plastic like it's it's really like the ergonomic chair market is insane like it's if we want to open another business we should just make ergonomic chairs because you can just charge a billion percent on what it costs to make it yeah and everyone's just clamoring all over you because they're all generally terrible it also doesn't really feel that great like it's it's okay right but it's not that's yeah okay so yes that seems like a really smart sale oh it's a brilliant sales pitch it doesn't have to feel good it's ergonomic uh so it holds me in a relatively good position so i'm probably going to end up keeping it because it'll be good for my spine okay sounds good uh the dr dude says i like really need to do something about that because my spine's getting all weird because i sit like this all the time so yeah sounds good okay let's do it up this all the time yeah like so okay i'm probably gonna keep it except like the the base isn't foam which is kind of cool because it's breathable but they use these plasticy spring things and that's great in most areas except for where the reinforced bar is right and you can like super feel this bar that is just under you all the time have you tried the om-5 is this the uh we had like an orangey one yeah we did a review of it so my problem with that was it didn't lock the new one locks oh i might try that i can return my chair uh you know what you should come over maybe come over in uh oh holy crap they have me quoted on their website i should make sure what they're saying isn't like linus of linus tech tips says the om5 is the most comfortable chair they probably could have put some context around that i'm sure i did let's have a look do they link right to the timestamp don't think so i bet they do i bet they do no oh nope all right well thanks for that guys yeah i'm sure i probably said that i've tried something return it in what box someone said in the chat sorry to cut you off i actually thought about this if i return the chair i'm wondering like like if it shows up damaged is it my fault i have all of the original packaging because it's a box so like there's really not a lot going on there like but like who who gets in trouble if the chair is damaged when it when it shows up anyway you should you should try um wait oh actually i know i don't know if the whole thing locks but the arm the armrest is locked like there's stuff they've done so my problem was if i sat back at all yeah i would just fall backwards so yvonne has new ones all right has one of the new ones okay so you i mean give it a shot just to make sure because i'll try it one of my biggest problems with buying these ludicrously expensive chairs yeah as well this one's not that bad it's 450 bucks that's way freaking better um is like you can't generally try them anywhere yeah no not in canada if you're in like la you can often go to a studio area and try them out but like i can so i had to go off of like a whole bunch just like and buying anything like clothing clothing or ergonomic food or chairs like stuff that has a personal taste like a personalization element to it online is really tough stuff yeah um like uh yvonne ordered some flip-flops off amazon and she just like they were cheaper than buying in store so that's cool so she ordered two of them yeah just assuming that one of them would be a horrible fit because because that's just the way it works and until we can until we can 3d scan our foot and submit that model off to something to to make sure something's going to fit for us so there's nothing we can really do but i mean i'm actually perfectly fine with them having that quote on there because it's still the most comfortable chair that i have and that i've tried um i really like it so i don't know yeah i and like see people are people are recommending stuff in here the problem is that it doesn't it doesn't mean anything to me because i can't try it yeah the only reason that i'm even bringing it up is because i have the newest one at my house and you can come try it and like the only reason why i got the chair that i have now is because marquez has it yeah frank has it and i tried it at severus's streaming area because it's his chair so i don't want this to come across wrong but i wouldn't necessarily buy something because um like here let's just pick one of them like let's say because marquez no i sat down he bought a tesla surfboard that's a good point not because it's a good surfboard because he's like he's a very like he's he's very on point with like whatever the coolest thing so the last point was the important one was semitis has the same chair and i sat in it for a while right and was like okay this is holding me in the right spot and it's the same reason why he has it he's a tall dude i believe he's slightly taller than i am and it can hold his spine in place all right so sorry to hear that anyway that was just yeah it was just horrible it was weird because i i opened opened a logitech mouse yeah and a herman miller chair right and i expected like i expected the logitech mouse unboxing experience to be quite good it exceeded expectations i expected the herman miller chair unboxing to be way too much and for me to be like this is dumb i wish they didn't do so much packaging because i could have saved some money and then it was like wow i literally don't think they could have gotten it to me if i saved any amount of money on the packaging because it wouldn't have made it or it would have been like some dude just like handing me the chair because he had to like walk it from the truck rolling it yeah yeah like rolling it here you go bud i've got it for you we're back we're back in the back we're backing it up so so so annoying give it some time and maybe logitech will just acquire herman miller and then you won't have to worry about it just like we acquired our first topic blue yeah logitech has acquired microphone brand blue but don't be blue um i don't know you might want to be blue about it honestly there's not going to be much in terms of changes as far as we can tell from logitech's blog post anyway so well okay i will also give them the benefit of the doubt in the way that they have not made very noticeable very large scale alterations to any other companies yeah like ultimate ears oh hold on a second there have been there's been some frustration with harmony harmony harmony remotes yeah oh that's old though isn't it yeah but that doesn't mean that people didn't get kind of bone no i hear you but they might have learned from that we can help they haven't made it as far as we can tell they haven't made a lot of changes to ultimate ears it seems like this is kind of the thing right now though is your your corsairs your razors and your logitechs of the world are just scooping up any brand that kind of matters in the peripheral space like i think we are we're so we're we're on this weird trajectory right now where over the last i'd say five so so going back maybe a year or two years ago and then five years before that we saw this incredible burst in diversification in the peripheral space yeah so we went from you know like every single person was making some form of keyboard yeah like mechanical keyboards are a great example you had what like filco ducky i mean do you remember when das keyboard mattered leopold yeah so you had a handful of guys making mechanical keyboards and then you had some more traditional brands that dabbled like steel series had one mechanical or two okay the 6g and the 7g um and then all of a sudden you walked around a show like ces or computex and you could find literally 50 brands so it's something keyboards gas is still relevant to you oh um i'd like to ask you about remember relevant is uh is a is a uh so they're still relevant but they're not mainstream yeah they can be as relevant as they want to a very small number of people yeah but when you look at the definition of the word relevant it's it's relative so so they were more relevant before yeah they were in relative terms much more relevant than they are now when you've got brands like corsair who you know for whom the the the monthly sales of someone like das keyboard would be a rounding error like that would be that that would be the samples they send out to to media when they launch a new keyboard to make sure that everyone and their dog has tried the latest and greatest corsair and hopefully it's it's sitting in in places yeah exactly um so so there's just there's this sort of relativity to to relevantness relevantness relevantity i don't know i'm trying which brings us to our first sponsor for the show today i mean it was just such a perfect segue i kind of had to do it hey corsairs strafe mark ii keyboard which you can learn more about at the link right there it's a mechanical rgb keyboard and is an update from the previous fan favorite strafe now with all the features you've been asking for well not all the features you've been asking for if you as me because i'm a big fan of cherry mx browns but it comes in either cherry mx red or cherry mx silent switches with the reds offerings linear smooth actuation while the silence dampens sound by 30 which is great for users who stream that's actually a big deal keyboard noise so cherry mx silent definitely recommended for that it's got 100 anti-ghosting with 104 key rollover meaning even if you type with your face all of your keystrokes will be registered thank you luke for that demonstration it's got eight mags of built-in storage to allow you to take all your rgb configurations and macro customization with you anywhere you go and the top of the keyboard has a built-in usb passthrough which i actually love that's a great feature that kind of disappeared for a bit in the keyboard world and then is is back now apparently which is terrific so check it out at corsair.com or the link in the video description oh i said the link was there but it's not it will be it will be below the video corsair.com that's okay simple solution

sure next gen nvidia gtx the name has apparently been settled down let's go ahead and share my screen wow i'm so surprised it'll be 20 80 and 20 70. that's kind of stupid i was expecting 1180 and 1170 we're gonna win the day but i guess nvidia's kind of going well the rate at which we release new generations of graphics cards has significantly slowed down so in order for us to keep having numbers go up at a nice you know nice good tick here we're we're gonna have to chill out on the just increasing the second digit kind of thing yeah um i think the first two by one going with like if you if you increase the first digit instead of this the way are we reading from the fourth digit so we had the 780 and then we skipped 800 series because i don't know it's unlucky or something who knows and then we had the 9 series and then we had the 10 series and now we get the 20. so when we so we when we go 30 40 50 60 70 80 90. do we get the 100 series yes but then do we get the 200 series and then are we back to the 200 series that's going to be confusing so in another like 20 years or so nvidia is going to have to watch out for that train coming down the tracks pretty slowly and won't happen for a while but that could happen eventually um well because we had a 200 series already but that was a three digit 200 series this would be the 200 and 280 series the 2000 gtx 2080 you think they might just end up almost dumping that version and go like gtx like alpha one oh and like alpha two or they could go straight to 300 because we never had a 300 series oh yeah we're not i don't know anyway manly technologies uh an nvidia 800 series was used in like mobile and stuff yes like oem only or some stupid thing yeah uh manly technologies a vendor for nvidia geforce gpus just registered an ecc certificate with the name gtx 2070 and 2080 included in the mix the gpu chips also contain ga104 and ga104 400 both of which should be ampere-based going by the code name so if you guys i don't know if you guys ever noticed this but the second letter of an nvidia code name is the architecture so gp would be geforce pascal and then gf would be g-force fermi so ga should be g-force ampere 104 means that once again we are getting not a big chip yeah so 102 or 100 would be big chips um oh i forget how it works uh what's the thing when when they had to spin it twice i can't remember what was uh what was 580 gtx 580 they had to spin it twice yeah so gf-110 crap i can't remember i can't remember i can't remember but there's there's one aspect of the code name that tells you if they had to uh uh if the first run was good enough or if they had to spin again oh weird it's not it's not terribly important so it's a real certification but it is also still possible that the company is using placeholder names and the actual nomenclature is something else although we are so close to when it is rumored to be announced at uh gamescom uh which starts on august 21st that it is hard to imagine that they're planning to do a switcheroo at the last minute with that said i have seen packaging on nvidia cards come in with like stickers over top of old names and sometimes nvidia will will go so far to throw the industry for a loop that they will legitimately charge their customers so not like you the end user but customers like evga they will literally charge their customers one price and then the day of the launch announce that it's a completely different price and just issue a rebate after the fact they have actually done that yeah so those guys are like i i actually i mean i've said this to enough people at nvidia's faces that i don't feel like i'm talking behind their back but enough with the cloak and dagger bull crap you guys just just just just release the release the product okay just just chill it's just a graphics card come on boys like this is not no linus we're sending people to the moon no mars titan can you do the next topic i can't i'm not even i'm not going to give you the satisfaction gosh there's a super long topic about a uk committee trying to battle fake news that i don't even want to talk about it oh boy battling fake news um a levy on social media wow so this is kind of like the uh do you remember that like oh we are going to talk okay let's do it well i was going to talk about the le'veon blank cds that we have here in canada what you don't know about this no yeah when you buy a blank cd it comes with like uh i don't know it's like a couple cents or something like that but basically it's fun piracy no it's yeah it's to fund piracy funding buyers canadian government um oh my goodness yeah no it's too theoretically to to fund anti-piracy measures or reimburse organizations that lost money due to piracy or whatever interesting because obviously you know itunes and spotify weren't a better long-term solution than charging a levy on blank cds um so so what they're proposing is a principle-based is print sorry principle-based recommendations designed to be sufficiently adaptive to deal with fast-moving technological development principle-based recommendations from the government literally buzzword um so it's a levy on social media and tech giants to fund expanding a major investment in the uk's data watchdogs so the body is able to attract and employ more technically skilled engineers who can analyze current technologies and have the capacity to predict future technologies okay um i mean so it's not like there aren't precedence for this this is similar to the way in which the banking sector pays for the upkeep of the financial conduct authority um there's a code for advertising through social media during election periods limits to the most amount of money an individual can donate um and a major increase in the maximum fine blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah okay so yeah there's gonna be some interesting laws over the next little bit sorry i threw up a little in my mouth there i didn't actually it's just a perp yeah and i was trying to hold it in so that the poor headphone users at home didn't have to have burp sound like i mean they ended up with it it was like really i didn't expect it to be so loud yeah it was very it was as unpleasant to feel like it was for you to can't reproduce it yeah no you can't really do that um intel had some road map leaps which ironically are over on videocards.com until doesn't make video cards at least not yet maybe that'll be their new foray it is they hired roger kaduri well okay you just got wrecked nope nope yeah okay hold on let's start making dedicated comments go ahead it's not a card is it yeah it is apparently oh actually yeah okay um i was just having some fun with him they're actually making a physical like pcie card that's the plan apparently yeah this is a word on the street okay like it's not on a road map anyway because i knew i i knew they brought him on to help with the like oh we're gonna have your the the like amd or sorry the radeon group technology on cpu and we want like one oh no yeah no i think that um i think that collaboration between intel and radeon technologies might if anything be more strained yeah like i don't think amd was super thrilled about raja moving on all right i do wonder how much a raja kaduri cost like if i wanted to hire raja like how how would that even how would that even work like how do you poach a guy like that and i wonder literally industry legend yeah yeah yeah and i wonder what kind of like benefit style stuff you'd have to bundle in yeah you'd probably he'd probably have to like he'd probably have to have like uh you know like in a because he can't just be money like it'd have to be like in in like dogs you know or like uh well no i don't know like there'd have to be some kind of like additional benefit like you'd have to have like a like a guaranteed like staff like you're gonna have two personal assistants and this and that so it's like it's more than just money you'll have access to the the executive jet from time periods x to y um you'll have this much sabbatical every two years and like like that kind of thing like i i would be really curious because beyond a certain point not everyone but a lot of people will stop caring at least as much about money yeah and it will take astronomically more to make it really worth their while so you want to start putting in other stuff yeah you have to start building like a benefits package i've actually spent very little time with people who i would consider to be like real executives but um i did spend some time with the executive assistant of an executive at a very large tech company a little while ago i was i was at a dinner and uh i i ended up at the table with like kind of the like the assistants and stuff yeah and honestly the conversation there was far more interesting than what i would have gotten sitting with the executives i think because it's all the like like scuttlebutt so they have rules like um how often the executive assistant has to swap out and that position is considered like a really tough position because you actually end up doing like a lot of the executive's actual work um but it's considered a stepping stone because you just have all this access to other executives and like so you get your name out there you get your name out there and so they swap like between involved or you just only you have like six months to like make your mark it's more than that i think it's like two years or something like that but then you have to hire a new one and then that person goes on to a different position because remember that a lot of a lot of large companies have policies and programs in place where people can change jobs quite frequently within the company and it's something that's encouraged yeah just so that people won't stagnate but so that they can retain their best talent see my strategy for that is to force people to work on things that they don't want to work on so that when they're done that they get to go back to work on something that they want to work on and they can be excited to go to work just to go back to their regular job okay thanks guys sorry aj you're almost done dude in other news here's that leak we were talking about so apparently there's some kind of new is he in chat oh that doesn't work luke he told me it did is he lying to me because i'd love to know i'm watching for watching for aj is he misleading me oh boy does floatplane even exist like is this do you even work for us oh boy dot dot dot that mean meanwhile luke's just been siphoning all the money yeah um and aj's like what there was money the float plane what's that um all right so okay okay this road map so apparently in 2018 we are getting a uh a 9700k okay according to the the roadmap leak and then sometime in q3 of 2018 there's going to be something called a 9900k which is going to be higher end than the existing uh core i9s or something someone in chat said siphoning money to afford your chair technically i saved for four and a half years yeah buy that should look at it that way yeah technically i've saved for 10 years to replace my car so i should just run out and buy a model x then right oh boy by that logic oh this one was like highly recommended you know what's really funny is i um i'm probably gonna return it i'm supposed to be shopping for cars because i have made a commitment too much okay i was gonna say when i drove up today like when it was pink and stuff it was pretty bad you got the dick dick butt on the mirror or the on the back window is pretty bad it's bad now like it's like a different level it actually looks like it has a disease i'm actually tired of it now like it's the only car that i know of that i've ever looked at that i'm like that is problematic like it's not even funny no it's just an eyesore it's too far i haven't been pulled over yet i've been daily driving it um okay you know what let's get through these leaks first so uh the 28 core part that intel teased back at computex is apparently going to be a brand new market segment with a different chipset and socket i mean anyone who knows anything would have known that 3647 socket and then probably some kind of cut down version of their c620 whatever chipsets um there's going to be a basin falls refresh in november 2018. okay glacier falls but in production later blah blah blah blah blah okay so back to the car so i have made a commitment to my wife that i will replace it by the time the next service period rolls around when's the next service now i committed to that because my intention was to sort of just keep driving it yeah um because there's going to be an it was another 8 000 kilometers about 5 000 miles left before it needed to be serviced again um but i'm starting to come around to getting on that uh a little earlier but the stupid thing is that honestly i i look i'm not gonna i'm not gonna lie to you guys i can afford a new car yeah obviously we you know like and i don't even mean like brand new car like i can afford to replace that car with something better than that car probably most of you watching could afford to replace that car with something better than that car you could buy something for 500 bucks and it would probably be better than that okay shout out be nice to my car okay it has served me well no no no i look it has i'm allowed to talk i'm allowed to speak badly we thought it was you're not we thought it was gonna die you haven't earned it we we thought it was gonna die in 2013. yeah we were surprised it was still alive in 2013. so so anyway um uh so so i i i'm getting pretty tired of it uh but my original plan was to just keep driving it until that service and then figure she'd probably have gotten used to it by then and then just keep driving it but she's not getting used to it i'm not getting used to it when you get your new car yeah it's not exciting at all uh you remember how we used uh i probably uh used to have all those ideas of like getting a computer in the trunk and having like screens on the back of the seats yes i've wanted to do that with the minivan for a while the issue is we can't find a sponsor oh yeah because we don't have the expertise to like completely rework the interior of a car to do it properly yeah and so we'd want to work we'd want to collaborate with like a shop that's capable of that to like doing a good job of it and so there just be costs associated and since it's not the kind of thing that actually has much practical use it's not the kind of thing i just want to pay for out of pocket because it wouldn't be you could actually do wireless for most of it yeah like pretty much all of it but power and mounting the monitors yeah like i wouldn't want it to be janky so there there are some possibilities and i don't want to get too far into it but we have some ideas okay um but what are you leaning towards the car at all so that's the thing is i'm supposed to be car shopping because i have agreed butcher and i want to i ended up spending probably a grand total of about 40 minutes car shopping and since then all i've been researching is motorcycles there are some super cool electric motorcycles out there now so i've never really had any desire to have one i know i i know i know shut up i've never had any desire to replace my sv650s it's a 2003 but that's the first year that it had fuel injection um okay question sidebar question does that bike have abs ah no it doesn't because that like wasn't a thing that blew my mind that's apparently a newer thing on bikes abs yeah yeah yeah weird so yeah i know my bike doesn't have abs it's pretty bare bones but it's got the v-twin engine which i really like it's got lots of pull and the low rpm range um it's it's actually especially now that i'm more used to it it's really light uh like it's not light compared to a dual sport or something but it's but it's it's it's light it's maneuverable and it's honestly got enough power that unless you're an idiot you don't really need more than that like if you're doing anything other than going in a straight line um there's not much reason to have much more power than that at least on the road like on the track a whole different story whatever talk about your favorite track bike amongst yourselves please um but there's there's there's this bike called the lightning that shut up to 16. trying to roast me about a chair zero to six is like recommended by a physiotherapist because my back has problems and you want to replace your car with a bike and you already have a perfectly good bike 0-60 in two seconds how do you stay on it i want to find out oh my goodness oh man uh is this here so is this your midlife crisis the funny thing about it is i've always joked with my wife like i couldn't possibly have a midlife crisis because i've been midlife crisising my whole life like i bought a motorcycle like eight years ago yeah right yeah yeah um so so the thing that the the thing about bikes is that they're cheap and by cheap i don't mean that 40 000 isn't a lot of money i mean that for literally the fastest bike on the planet compared to literally the fastest car on the planet we're talking an order of magnitude difference in price yeah so for the price of like a basic minivan which i recently purchased you could have the fastest bike on the planet zero to sixty in two seconds but you can't even use it oh you can accelerate especially an electric electric motor there's dangerous takeoff yeah you can if your wheel spins i'd love to learn to do a wheelie that's also not legal and the 650 yeah on those on the road it's legal to do it elsewhere yeah they have like they have like stunt riding courses and stuff like that'd be a lot of fun shut up anyway anyway so i'm supposed to be shopping for a car i have actually spent the vast majority of my time shopping for a bike now with that said so would you sell yours range on the lightning i think is like 150 200 miles also someone in the uh someone in the chat had a question what is the uh mileage or kilometers on your lambo on the lambo it's about 200 and it's a little over two hundred and twenty thousand is just the wrong thing yeah two hundred twenty 000. yeah a little over 220 000 kilometers there you go um what the crap is this you know what's great is the mobile version has shut up the mobile version of chrome has a thing where when you're stuck in one of these back loops where it just keeps reloading like it forwards you a few times so you can't spam click back to get back yeah on the mobile version you can tell it don't let this page bring up any more prompts but the desktop version doesn't that's lame linus owns all lambo welcome to the party dude uh yeah sure uh we're talking about my civic it's a joke it is a super joke yeah so this this is this is the thing i've been looking at that's a nice looking and by looking at i mean drooling over oh it's so beautiful um don't don't look at don't look at this wow don't look at that kind of thing okay um let's see i'm just trying to remember the range yeah okay so the 20 kilowatt hour battery pack is 160 to 100 and uh yeah 100 miles range at highway speed but there's different battery pack options so they're probably talking about this look how you knew that the basic yeah no i i knew there were different batteries a couple things i still don't like it's pretty heavy it's significantly heavier than mine battery packs i'm assuming yeah it's probably mostly in the batteries but so okay i haven't actually pitched this to the wife yet but let me let me try something out on you and see how it goes okay first i need to know though yes because this would be important for her as well for sure are you selling your bike sure i'll sell my bike i don't really have anywhere to keep it and are are you then not replacing the car oh no i'm i'll replace the car so you're gonna get this and a car okay just just shut up shut up okay she's gonna ask me hold on hold on yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah okay so glassy thing so so pretty much everyone and their dog has been like you're a tech guy i got a model s that's boring okay right well that's kind actually that's kind of my response to that because the funny thing about the super civic is that it's horrible but if your car is supposed to be a reflection of something about you like your car does say something about you the super civic for better or for worse is the linus mobile so you want something so rolling fast and electric because you're super fast no no no that's no no it's not that it's not that i just mean i mean it's been it's because this is a reflection of your perspective been hard for no no i'm not talking about this right now i just mean it's been hard for me to replace the super civic for multiple reasons one i hate car shopping yeah two it really is such a it is such a perfect fit for me not now but it was it was before it got a little too fast now it's too much it was the soup it was the zero f's mobile yeah super practical yeah reliable cheap cheap standard super cheap standard everything even windows yeah that i wasn't a fan of no well the windows are okay no ac was a problem though yeah um it's getting worse every year yeah it's been it was really bad we had a heat wave recently that sucked um anyway so it's been like the me mobile and it's been hard to find something that says anything about me a model doesn't no that's my issue with the model s yeah the model s says absolutely nothing about linus sebastian the person other than oh you're a tech guy i get a model s okay it's also really expensive it's also really expensive but but based on that everyone's telling me to buy a model s i figure people won't be like mad if i say look i haven't replaced my car in 10 years i'm getting a model s do you think people would resent that i don't think people would be mad i don't think it works for you i think it's ludicrously expensive okay okay so so let's assume that people you know and there's no right to repair on model s's on tesla i've heard a lot about this recently oh right to repair on this is like like tesla and right to repair are like not friends which this is i've very recently heard about this but that's not a that's not so i'm gonna pitch something here i'm gonna pitch something here for the cost of one model s i could get a clarity plug-in hybrid and for the daily commute and a super bike that doesn't mean you're supposed to spend that much money it means that i could but it doesn't mean that you're supposed and it would be the same as if i got a model s but you shouldn't have gotten a model s but i probably shouldn't do that okay i want to hear from twitch chat i need a second opinion of course they're going to talk i need a second opinion second opinion um okay okay people are like mkbhd got a model s that makes a lot of sense don't know about lioness um okay um i could but am i gonna superbike means midlife crisis dude dude what just right there okay vaughn can i pitch you something this is really important okay so so okay we need a straw poll really no no you gotta you gotta come on for a minute here can you can you pull it up okay so i'll draw my scene no no no no no she can just she can come she can come sit with me we're we're we're good friends here you guys hang out sometimes yeah we can we're not afraid of a little bit of physical contact made three babies you know okay oh all the keys in my pocket are killing my thigh you're why are you still so bad at this what it's killing my killing my lap actually i also have a keyboard in my pocket that's not right okay okay that's not my fault okay i need to i need to reach the thing okay so i'm gonna what is this question i run something by you get it or don't get it because we don't want to tell you what's going on yet okay so the model s um costs i have the same reaction i have the same result okay so the model s costs uh why is it why do they just put loan what is what is the difference between lease and loan that's stupid like what is a what is a loan no a loan i think is when you get financing oh financing why don't they just say financing well that is what that means okay so a model s uh is anywhere from okay the federal tax credit this is u.s oh crap okay well whatever it's about 85 000 canadian plus whatever i mean i would there's no way i wouldn't get the autopilot upgrade and stuff like that so let's say about 80 to 90 000 canadian okay so would i be allowed to get a model s why i thought you didn't want a model this is not the point that's not the people don't want so would i be allowed to get one i don't know it just has to make sense okay but could i could i make some kind of argument that that would make sense no probably not actually okay why because it's not practical it's not really sheet seven it's not really you see a minivan seats how many people and costs a fraction of that okay yeah this much may be true okay um i mean okay so so from a practicality standpoint no but if it was just like i really want this okay you could probably make that argument okay good good good good good okay that's all i need that's all i need okay so now how about this how about a very practical car that costs half as much and a super bike that also costs half as much how about that you're not getting the super bike but it's a lightning 0 to 60 in two seconds two seconds does that sound like a good thing for the father of you don't want you to die we have life insurance now that's so exciting all right thank you that was worth a shot oh my god you know it's funny that was fantastic i would say i should just do it anyway oh i have to go i don't know we all have to go actually okay i would say that i should just do it anyway but the cold hard truth is she completely controls all the money yeah i wouldn't be able to buy a hamburger without her knowing about it like it's actually a problem like i can't surprise her with a gift or anything because all the credit credits draw withdraw cash it's actually yeah but if i withdrew cash it would seem very unusual if it was any more than like 100 bucks here and there like i like to carry a little bit of cash because um a lot of places in richmond only take cash yeah but that's the only reason i carry cash so unless i like flip something on craigslist recently i don't have a ton of i don't have a ton of cash on hand so if she saw like you know a few hundred dollars come out of the account she'd be like hey does someone have your card someone have your pen yeah you're like no no uh well what was this what was this withdrawal because it's literally her job like actually her job every day to keep track of all the money yeah no no it's not like a control freak thing she's just literally the financial officer of both our family and our company so yeah there'd be okay well let me let me see the straw poll can i at least see the straw poll results i haven't even seen it okay what's up what's the url here is it case sensitive oh it's pretty close dot me slash 162 yeah zero six three yeah uh six seven okay let's have let's have a look here let's share the results with everybody let's get these in real time i mean i gotta vote i gotta vote right yeah like you know obama got to vote for himself so i should get to vote for myself get it vote okay let's have a let's have a look at these uh these here votes here there wow straw poll has got to work on that their thing they got wow there's someone in the trophy someone in the building has already voted oh really did you vote yeah i voted oh did you not get to vote oh i'm sorry to hear that oh what a big bummer that is oh bummer ah so vaughn it looks like you were wrong 56 percent of people said do it yeah so i mean does the democratic society um you know might makes right a quantity in numbers uh okay that's it for right that's it for the mention thank you for watching and we'll see you again next week saying bad time saying bad shadow that's not the argument you want right there oh boy what's an ae86 i got someone in someone on twitch very legendary i've got a lot of people telling me to get miatas or get a miata this car is sick actually but for like the first like movie i think was on vhs that was like super into drifting was from japan and he was driving a truno 86. okay yeah i know that's 86. all right bye everybody byeso today i don't think i could handle it right now oh okay i have had a fairly terrible last couple of days um i i have been fighting with my my tape drive backup thing that basically doesn't work on the pc properly and the guys that make it are like yeah the truth of the matter is that the driver situation from ibm on down just isn't that great on the pc and it works better on a mac so then i've been trying to get a mac working with 10 gigabit and so i was using the macbook pro and 10 gigabit lan to be clear so i was using the macbook pro and i ran into uh bro remember when i called you earlier this week yeah asking if you had the corex yeah yeah so so i so so i managed to have uh um three external pci express docs four 10 gigabit network cards a variety of cables and i still couldn't manage to get like i even got down to the point where i had a thunderbolt chipset that apple hadn't specifically locked out because we don't want to support it yeah i managed to find one that didn't have a thunderbolt chip that was locked out so the enclosure worked on the mac and i even managed to get a 10 gig ethernet card with the exact same chipset that is already in use in the imac pro but that still doesn't work because there's some stupid beta of mac os that you have to like update from an older one too and then it will flash cards that are not like mac approved to be mac approved and then they just work because because the drivers are for the hardware not for like the stupid vendor id that actually doesn't matter but with apple it's just anthony's way of putting it i think is great it's magic numbers it's not about whether it should actually work or not it's about making sure it has the right magic number that's actually one of his theories about the uh the whole throttling issue with the macbook pro did you see this you hear about this the big thermal throttle i know yeah yeah yeah and apple fixes it with a mac os update that they said was firmware but doesn't seem to be firmware because it doesn't fix it in windows yeah so so it must just be like a magic number like a magic magic number detects the cpu correctly now no it doesn't behave stupidly oh good yeah thank goodness for a genuine apple approved hardware and nothing else working at all you want to hear my great story and then and then i've spent the last four hours dealing with this do you think it's gonna be done by the underwent i i hope so it's at 84 percent and that's like 54 when i said third reboot now so i think we're i think we're getting close i may duck out of when and just finish that this is the last thing i'm waiting for i just want to run cinebench sorry sorry everyone i'm just i'm having a rough day i just want to run cinebench and i can't if windows update is sucking back 25 of the cpu in the background right i just want to know how much faster it is than last gen and i was thinking maybe i'd compare it to the surface go since that arrived today tried to live stream the surface go turns out another video project we're working on which is really cool by the way basically we're given the we're given the this to google but in a way that's like not just to spite them it's just we are abusing their services oh yeah i know in a way that's really cool well it turns out we're also abusing fully within the terms abusing the cpu of our router oh yeah so it looks like that killed our stream earlier we where we literally oh like overloaded our router cpu and remember this is not some this isn't some wimpy bs it's a rack mounted rope yeah this isn't this is an edge router pro from ubiquity oh okay like it's not some hundred thousand dollar stupid like cisco thing or anything like that but it is not an insubstantial piece of networking machinery um i love this i love this you sit and wait for hours for it and then it's got this very friendly just hold on for a second we've got some updates for your pc no no you had updates for my pc four hours ago this might take several minutes yeah at this point what dennis you want to hear my story i need you here from my story so i want to get out before we're done should we do the intro first sure okay let's just whatever there's tech news we're gonna talk about some stuff next gen intel road map leaks also google oh my goodness search engine there's rumors about apple's worth a trillion dollars boom crazy people are hating on the ubiquity haters it's one of those technology categories where it's just entirely responsible yeah it's greater greater than greater than it's greater than greater than oh because you've got linux fanboys in the mix too no that's freebsd yeah whatever you know what i mean um actually oh gosh anyways okay so did you remember at the end of last stream how i revealed how i i finally bought a new chair yeah oh what now so the story of my chair is someone sat on the arm and it broke the like middle support so basically my chair was tilted like this for four years in defense of your chair that someone was very likely to break that chair yes yep yep in fairness to your chair yep i mean but to like to compensate so i was looking straight at my monitor i basically sat like this for four years and then recently went to physio and he was like wow you need a new chair you're an idiot so i decided to get a new chair did a whole bunch of research took like a month over a month for the chair to show up it's supposed to like keep you in a specific spot so that your spine is like correctly aligned it's not supposed to be super comfortable it's supposed to keep you in the right spot right it's kind of like a racing chair except not for a car so it actually makes sense for going fast on your computer yeah anyways the expected ends up the expected delivery date was uh august 6th you might notice it is not that day yet i have had the chair for a while um on i believe the 31st of the 30th i don't remember if it was this monday or this tuesday i went out to get some lunch i had finished a relatively major milestone you know i was like you know what i'm gonna i'm gonna reward myself with a booster juice so i decided to go outside and get some boosters as i'm walking out yeah it is not that cheap cost as much as a meal but then you have to like four dollars yeah yeah i don't get them that often but i was like yeah yeah i'm gonna this is this is good i was very more than four dollars i was very happy anyway carry on so i i go walk outside as i'm walking outside i was like whoa there's a giant cardboard box in the lawn that's weird and i just keep walking and then i'm like i should probably like bring that inside just in case it's like my upstairs neighbors and i go and i look at it closer and i see herman miller plastered on the side of it and i'm like what they just left it on the lawn they just left it on the lawn no notification text message no notification email i had no idea i still have no idea how long it was sitting there when i moved it there was very much an impression in the grass so it had been sitting there for a while possibly all night because sometimes i don't leave my house for a while so i have no clue how long it was there super expensive chair big logo on the side of the box just left in the front lawn for who knows how long no notification that was there nothing they didn't knock they didn't even notice they didn't nothing happened so i'm immediately pissed off i i i bring it inside i go get my food i come back i go to open it first of all there's like it's the worst cardboard box as the outer shell that i've like ever seen and there's there's like rips where the handles were because the guy's handling it and like i don't even blame them because if you try to pick it up it just rips because it's just a terrible cardboard box right but i'm thinking in my head like oh it's there'll be an in internal carton right no big deal i open that up nope not only is there no internal carton that is literally the entire box for the chair there's also zero packing foam or protection of any form at all in the entire box so it's just the chair just sitting this rattling i was able to turn it around while it was inside the box just because i wanted to kind of try it out and see how it goes like it was actually the worst unboxing experience that i have ever had that same day i like opened up a box for a mouse and was like wow this is a way better experience than the ludicrously obscenely illogically expensive chair that i just bought i was so mad it's fine it like creaks when you move around it's mostly made out of plastic like it's it's really like the ergonomic chair market is insane like it's if we want to open another business we should just make ergonomic chairs because you can just charge a billion percent on what it costs to make it yeah and everyone's just clamoring all over you because they're all generally terrible it also doesn't really feel that great like it's it's okay right but it's not that's yeah okay so yes that seems like a really smart sale oh it's a brilliant sales pitch it doesn't have to feel good it's ergonomic uh so it holds me in a relatively good position so i'm probably going to end up keeping it because it'll be good for my spine okay sounds good uh the dr dude says i like really need to do something about that because my spine's getting all weird because i sit like this all the time so yeah sounds good okay let's do it up this all the time yeah like so okay i'm probably gonna keep it except like the the base isn't foam which is kind of cool because it's breathable but they use these plasticy spring things and that's great in most areas except for where the reinforced bar is right and you can like super feel this bar that is just under you all the time have you tried the om-5 is this the uh we had like an orangey one yeah we did a review of it so my problem with that was it didn't lock the new one locks oh i might try that i can return my chair uh you know what you should come over maybe come over in uh oh holy crap they have me quoted on their website i should make sure what they're saying isn't like linus of linus tech tips says the om5 is the most comfortable chair they probably could have put some context around that i'm sure i did let's have a look do they link right to the timestamp don't think so i bet they do i bet they do no oh nope all right well thanks for that guys yeah i'm sure i probably said that i've tried something return it in what box someone said in the chat sorry to cut you off i actually thought about this if i return the chair i'm wondering like like if it shows up damaged is it my fault i have all of the original packaging because it's a box so like there's really not a lot going on there like but like who who gets in trouble if the chair is damaged when it when it shows up anyway you should you should try um wait oh actually i know i don't know if the whole thing locks but the arm the armrest is locked like there's stuff they've done so my problem was if i sat back at all yeah i would just fall backwards so yvonne has new ones all right has one of the new ones okay so you i mean give it a shot just to make sure because i'll try it one of my biggest problems with buying these ludicrously expensive chairs yeah as well this one's not that bad it's 450 bucks that's way freaking better um is like you can't generally try them anywhere yeah no not in canada if you're in like la you can often go to a studio area and try them out but like i can so i had to go off of like a whole bunch just like and buying anything like clothing clothing or ergonomic food or chairs like stuff that has a personal taste like a personalization element to it online is really tough stuff yeah um like uh yvonne ordered some flip-flops off amazon and she just like they were cheaper than buying in store so that's cool so she ordered two of them yeah just assuming that one of them would be a horrible fit because because that's just the way it works and until we can until we can 3d scan our foot and submit that model off to something to to make sure something's going to fit for us so there's nothing we can really do but i mean i'm actually perfectly fine with them having that quote on there because it's still the most comfortable chair that i have and that i've tried um i really like it so i don't know yeah i and like see people are people are recommending stuff in here the problem is that it doesn't it doesn't mean anything to me because i can't try it yeah the only reason that i'm even bringing it up is because i have the newest one at my house and you can come try it and like the only reason why i got the chair that i have now is because marquez has it yeah frank has it and i tried it at severus's streaming area because it's his chair so i don't want this to come across wrong but i wouldn't necessarily buy something because um like here let's just pick one of them like let's say because marquez no i sat down he bought a tesla surfboard that's a good point not because it's a good surfboard because he's like he's a very like he's he's very on point with like whatever the coolest thing so the last point was the important one was semitis has the same chair and i sat in it for a while right and was like okay this is holding me in the right spot and it's the same reason why he has it he's a tall dude i believe he's slightly taller than i am and it can hold his spine in place all right so sorry to hear that anyway that was just yeah it was just horrible it was weird because i i opened opened a logitech mouse yeah and a herman miller chair right and i expected like i expected the logitech mouse unboxing experience to be quite good it exceeded expectations i expected the herman miller chair unboxing to be way too much and for me to be like this is dumb i wish they didn't do so much packaging because i could have saved some money and then it was like wow i literally don't think they could have gotten it to me if i saved any amount of money on the packaging because it wouldn't have made it or it would have been like some dude just like handing me the chair because he had to like walk it from the truck rolling it yeah yeah like rolling it here you go bud i've got it for you we're back we're back in the back we're backing it up so so so annoying give it some time and maybe logitech will just acquire herman miller and then you won't have to worry about it just like we acquired our first topic blue yeah logitech has acquired microphone brand blue but don't be blue um i don't know you might want to be blue about it honestly there's not going to be much in terms of changes as far as we can tell from logitech's blog post anyway so well okay i will also give them the benefit of the doubt in the way that they have not made very noticeable very large scale alterations to any other companies yeah like ultimate ears oh hold on a second there have been there's been some frustration with harmony harmony harmony remotes yeah oh that's old though isn't it yeah but that doesn't mean that people didn't get kind of bone no i hear you but they might have learned from that we can help they haven't made it as far as we can tell they haven't made a lot of changes to ultimate ears it seems like this is kind of the thing right now though is your your corsairs your razors and your logitechs of the world are just scooping up any brand that kind of matters in the peripheral space like i think we are we're so we're we're on this weird trajectory right now where over the last i'd say five so so going back maybe a year or two years ago and then five years before that we saw this incredible burst in diversification in the peripheral space yeah so we went from you know like every single person was making some form of keyboard yeah like mechanical keyboards are a great example you had what like filco ducky i mean do you remember when das keyboard mattered leopold yeah so you had a handful of guys making mechanical keyboards and then you had some more traditional brands that dabbled like steel series had one mechanical or two okay the 6g and the 7g um and then all of a sudden you walked around a show like ces or computex and you could find literally 50 brands so it's something keyboards gas is still relevant to you oh um i'd like to ask you about remember relevant is uh is a is a uh so they're still relevant but they're not mainstream yeah they can be as relevant as they want to a very small number of people yeah but when you look at the definition of the word relevant it's it's relative so so they were more relevant before yeah they were in relative terms much more relevant than they are now when you've got brands like corsair who you know for whom the the the monthly sales of someone like das keyboard would be a rounding error like that would be that that would be the samples they send out to to media when they launch a new keyboard to make sure that everyone and their dog has tried the latest and greatest corsair and hopefully it's it's sitting in in places yeah exactly um so so there's just there's this sort of relativity to to relevantness relevantness relevantity i don't know i'm trying which brings us to our first sponsor for the show today i mean it was just such a perfect segue i kind of had to do it hey corsairs strafe mark ii keyboard which you can learn more about at the link right there it's a mechanical rgb keyboard and is an update from the previous fan favorite strafe now with all the features you've been asking for well not all the features you've been asking for if you as me because i'm a big fan of cherry mx browns but it comes in either cherry mx red or cherry mx silent switches with the reds offerings linear smooth actuation while the silence dampens sound by 30 which is great for users who stream that's actually a big deal keyboard noise so cherry mx silent definitely recommended for that it's got 100 anti-ghosting with 104 key rollover meaning even if you type with your face all of your keystrokes will be registered thank you luke for that demonstration it's got eight mags of built-in storage to allow you to take all your rgb configurations and macro customization with you anywhere you go and the top of the keyboard has a built-in usb passthrough which i actually love that's a great feature that kind of disappeared for a bit in the keyboard world and then is is back now apparently which is terrific so check it out at corsair.com or the link in the video description oh i said the link was there but it's not it will be it will be below the video corsair.com that's okay simple solution

sure next gen nvidia gtx the name has apparently been settled down let's go ahead and share my screen wow i'm so surprised it'll be 20 80 and 20 70. that's kind of stupid i was expecting 1180 and 1170 we're gonna win the day but i guess nvidia's kind of going well the rate at which we release new generations of graphics cards has significantly slowed down so in order for us to keep having numbers go up at a nice you know nice good tick here we're we're gonna have to chill out on the just increasing the second digit kind of thing yeah um i think the first two by one going with like if you if you increase the first digit instead of this the way are we reading from the fourth digit so we had the 780 and then we skipped 800 series because i don't know it's unlucky or something who knows and then we had the 9 series and then we had the 10 series and now we get the 20. so when we so we when we go 30 40 50 60 70 80 90. do we get the 100 series yes but then do we get the 200 series and then are we back to the 200 series that's going to be confusing so in another like 20 years or so nvidia is going to have to watch out for that train coming down the tracks pretty slowly and won't happen for a while but that could happen eventually um well because we had a 200 series already but that was a three digit 200 series this would be the 200 and 280 series the 2000 gtx 2080 you think they might just end up almost dumping that version and go like gtx like alpha one oh and like alpha two or they could go straight to 300 because we never had a 300 series oh yeah we're not i don't know anyway manly technologies uh an nvidia 800 series was used in like mobile and stuff yes like oem only or some stupid thing yeah uh manly technologies a vendor for nvidia geforce gpus just registered an ecc certificate with the name gtx 2070 and 2080 included in the mix the gpu chips also contain ga104 and ga104 400 both of which should be ampere-based going by the code name so if you guys i don't know if you guys ever noticed this but the second letter of an nvidia code name is the architecture so gp would be geforce pascal and then gf would be g-force fermi so ga should be g-force ampere 104 means that once again we are getting not a big chip yeah so 102 or 100 would be big chips um oh i forget how it works uh what's the thing when when they had to spin it twice i can't remember what was uh what was 580 gtx 580 they had to spin it twice yeah so gf-110 crap i can't remember i can't remember i can't remember but there's there's one aspect of the code name that tells you if they had to uh uh if the first run was good enough or if they had to spin again oh weird it's not it's not terribly important so it's a real certification but it is also still possible that the company is using placeholder names and the actual nomenclature is something else although we are so close to when it is rumored to be announced at uh gamescom uh which starts on august 21st that it is hard to imagine that they're planning to do a switcheroo at the last minute with that said i have seen packaging on nvidia cards come in with like stickers over top of old names and sometimes nvidia will will go so far to throw the industry for a loop that they will legitimately charge their customers so not like you the end user but customers like evga they will literally charge their customers one price and then the day of the launch announce that it's a completely different price and just issue a rebate after the fact they have actually done that yeah so those guys are like i i actually i mean i've said this to enough people at nvidia's faces that i don't feel like i'm talking behind their back but enough with the cloak and dagger bull crap you guys just just just just release the release the product okay just just chill it's just a graphics card come on boys like this is not no linus we're sending people to the moon no mars titan can you do the next topic i can't i'm not even i'm not going to give you the satisfaction gosh there's a super long topic about a uk committee trying to battle fake news that i don't even want to talk about it oh boy battling fake news um a levy on social media wow so this is kind of like the uh do you remember that like oh we are going to talk okay let's do it well i was going to talk about the le'veon blank cds that we have here in canada what you don't know about this no yeah when you buy a blank cd it comes with like uh i don't know it's like a couple cents or something like that but basically it's fun piracy no it's yeah it's to fund piracy funding buyers canadian government um oh my goodness yeah no it's too theoretically to to fund anti-piracy measures or reimburse organizations that lost money due to piracy or whatever interesting because obviously you know itunes and spotify weren't a better long-term solution than charging a levy on blank cds um so so what they're proposing is a principle-based is print sorry principle-based recommendations designed to be sufficiently adaptive to deal with fast-moving technological development principle-based recommendations from the government literally buzzword um so it's a levy on social media and tech giants to fund expanding a major investment in the uk's data watchdogs so the body is able to attract and employ more technically skilled engineers who can analyze current technologies and have the capacity to predict future technologies okay um i mean so it's not like there aren't precedence for this this is similar to the way in which the banking sector pays for the upkeep of the financial conduct authority um there's a code for advertising through social media during election periods limits to the most amount of money an individual can donate um and a major increase in the maximum fine blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah okay so yeah there's gonna be some interesting laws over the next little bit sorry i threw up a little in my mouth there i didn't actually it's just a perp yeah and i was trying to hold it in so that the poor headphone users at home didn't have to have burp sound like i mean they ended up with it it was like really i didn't expect it to be so loud yeah it was very it was as unpleasant to feel like it was for you to can't reproduce it yeah no you can't really do that um intel had some road map leaps which ironically are over on videocards.com until doesn't make video cards at least not yet maybe that'll be their new foray it is they hired roger kaduri well okay you just got wrecked nope nope yeah okay hold on let's start making dedicated comments go ahead it's not a card is it yeah it is apparently oh actually yeah okay um i was just having some fun with him they're actually making a physical like pcie card that's the plan apparently yeah this is a word on the street okay like it's not on a road map anyway because i knew i i knew they brought him on to help with the like oh we're gonna have your the the like amd or sorry the radeon group technology on cpu and we want like one oh no yeah no i think that um i think that collaboration between intel and radeon technologies might if anything be more strained yeah like i don't think amd was super thrilled about raja moving on all right i do wonder how much a raja kaduri cost like if i wanted to hire raja like how how would that even how would that even work like how do you poach a guy like that and i wonder literally industry legend yeah yeah yeah and i wonder what kind of like benefit style stuff you'd have to bundle in yeah you'd probably he'd probably have to like he'd probably have to have like uh you know like in a because he can't just be money like it'd have to be like in in like dogs you know or like uh well no i don't know like there'd have to be some kind of like additional benefit like you'd have to have like a like a guaranteed like staff like you're gonna have two personal assistants and this and that so it's like it's more than just money you'll have access to the the executive jet from time periods x to y um you'll have this much sabbatical every two years and like like that kind of thing like i i would be really curious because beyond a certain point not everyone but a lot of people will stop caring at least as much about money yeah and it will take astronomically more to make it really worth their while so you want to start putting in other stuff yeah you have to start building like a benefits package i've actually spent very little time with people who i would consider to be like real executives but um i did spend some time with the executive assistant of an executive at a very large tech company a little while ago i was i was at a dinner and uh i i ended up at the table with like kind of the like the assistants and stuff yeah and honestly the conversation there was far more interesting than what i would have gotten sitting with the executives i think because it's all the like like scuttlebutt so they have rules like um how often the executive assistant has to swap out and that position is considered like a really tough position because you actually end up doing like a lot of the executive's actual work um but it's considered a stepping stone because you just have all this access to other executives and like so you get your name out there you get your name out there and so they swap like between involved or you just only you have like six months to like make your mark it's more than that i think it's like two years or something like that but then you have to hire a new one and then that person goes on to a different position because remember that a lot of a lot of large companies have policies and programs in place where people can change jobs quite frequently within the company and it's something that's encouraged yeah just so that people won't stagnate but so that they can retain their best talent see my strategy for that is to force people to work on things that they don't want to work on so that when they're done that they get to go back to work on something that they want to work on and they can be excited to go to work just to go back to their regular job okay thanks guys sorry aj you're almost done dude in other news here's that leak we were talking about so apparently there's some kind of new is he in chat oh that doesn't work luke he told me it did is he lying to me because i'd love to know i'm watching for watching for aj is he misleading me oh boy does floatplane even exist like is this do you even work for us oh boy dot dot dot that mean meanwhile luke's just been siphoning all the money yeah um and aj's like what there was money the float plane what's that um all right so okay okay this road map so apparently in 2018 we are getting a uh a 9700k okay according to the the roadmap leak and then sometime in q3 of 2018 there's going to be something called a 9900k which is going to be higher end than the existing uh core i9s or something someone in chat said siphoning money to afford your chair technically i saved for four and a half years yeah buy that should look at it that way yeah technically i've saved for 10 years to replace my car so i should just run out and buy a model x then right oh boy by that logic oh this one was like highly recommended you know what's really funny is i um i'm probably gonna return it i'm supposed to be shopping for cars because i have made a commitment too much okay i was gonna say when i drove up today like when it was pink and stuff it was pretty bad you got the dick dick butt on the mirror or the on the back window is pretty bad it's bad now like it's like a different level it actually looks like it has a disease i'm actually tired of it now like it's the only car that i know of that i've ever looked at that i'm like that is problematic like it's not even funny no it's just an eyesore it's too far i haven't been pulled over yet i've been daily driving it um okay you know what let's get through these leaks first so uh the 28 core part that intel teased back at computex is apparently going to be a brand new market segment with a different chipset and socket i mean anyone who knows anything would have known that 3647 socket and then probably some kind of cut down version of their c620 whatever chipsets um there's going to be a basin falls refresh in november 2018. okay glacier falls but in production later blah blah blah blah blah okay so back to the car so i have made a commitment to my wife that i will replace it by the time the next service period rolls around when's the next service now i committed to that because my intention was to sort of just keep driving it yeah um because there's going to be an it was another 8 000 kilometers about 5 000 miles left before it needed to be serviced again um but i'm starting to come around to getting on that uh a little earlier but the stupid thing is that honestly i i look i'm not gonna i'm not gonna lie to you guys i can afford a new car yeah obviously we you know like and i don't even mean like brand new car like i can afford to replace that car with something better than that car probably most of you watching could afford to replace that car with something better than that car you could buy something for 500 bucks and it would probably be better than that okay shout out be nice to my car okay it has served me well no no no i look it has i'm allowed to talk i'm allowed to speak badly we thought it was you're not we thought it was gonna die you haven't earned it we we thought it was gonna die in 2013. yeah we were surprised it was still alive in 2013. so so anyway um uh so so i i i'm getting pretty tired of it uh but my original plan was to just keep driving it until that service and then figure she'd probably have gotten used to it by then and then just keep driving it but she's not getting used to it i'm not getting used to it when you get your new car yeah it's not exciting at all uh you remember how we used uh i probably uh used to have all those ideas of like getting a computer in the trunk and having like screens on the back of the seats yes i've wanted to do that with the minivan for a while the issue is we can't find a sponsor oh yeah because we don't have the expertise to like completely rework the interior of a car to do it properly yeah and so we'd want to work we'd want to collaborate with like a shop that's capable of that to like doing a good job of it and so there just be costs associated and since it's not the kind of thing that actually has much practical use it's not the kind of thing i just want to pay for out of pocket because it wouldn't be you could actually do wireless for most of it yeah like pretty much all of it but power and mounting the monitors yeah like i wouldn't want it to be janky so there there are some possibilities and i don't want to get too far into it but we have some ideas okay um but what are you leaning towards the car at all so that's the thing is i'm supposed to be car shopping because i have agreed butcher and i want to i ended up spending probably a grand total of about 40 minutes car shopping and since then all i've been researching is motorcycles there are some super cool electric motorcycles out there now so i've never really had any desire to have one i know i i know i know shut up i've never had any desire to replace my sv650s it's a 2003 but that's the first year that it had fuel injection um okay question sidebar question does that bike have abs ah no it doesn't because that like wasn't a thing that blew my mind that's apparently a newer thing on bikes abs yeah yeah yeah weird so yeah i know my bike doesn't have abs it's pretty bare bones but it's got the v-twin engine which i really like it's got lots of pull and the low rpm range um it's it's actually especially now that i'm more used to it it's really light uh like it's not light compared to a dual sport or something but it's but it's it's it's light it's maneuverable and it's honestly got enough power that unless you're an idiot you don't really need more than that like if you're doing anything other than going in a straight line um there's not much reason to have much more power than that at least on the road like on the track a whole different story whatever talk about your favorite track bike amongst yourselves please um but there's there's there's this bike called the lightning that shut up to 16. trying to roast me about a chair zero to six is like recommended by a physiotherapist because my back has problems and you want to replace your car with a bike and you already have a perfectly good bike 0-60 in two seconds how do you stay on it i want to find out oh my goodness oh man uh is this here so is this your midlife crisis the funny thing about it is i've always joked with my wife like i couldn't possibly have a midlife crisis because i've been midlife crisising my whole life like i bought a motorcycle like eight years ago yeah right yeah yeah um so so the thing that the the thing about bikes is that they're cheap and by cheap i don't mean that 40 000 isn't a lot of money i mean that for literally the fastest bike on the planet compared to literally the fastest car on the planet we're talking an order of magnitude difference in price yeah so for the price of like a basic minivan which i recently purchased you could have the fastest bike on the planet zero to sixty in two seconds but you can't even use it oh you can accelerate especially an electric electric motor there's dangerous takeoff yeah you can if your wheel spins i'd love to learn to do a wheelie that's also not legal and the 650 yeah on those on the road it's legal to do it elsewhere yeah they have like they have like stunt riding courses and stuff like that'd be a lot of fun shut up anyway anyway so i'm supposed to be shopping for a car i have actually spent the vast majority of my time shopping for a bike now with that said so would you sell yours range on the lightning i think is like 150 200 miles also someone in the uh someone in the chat had a question what is the uh mileage or kilometers on your lambo on the lambo it's about 200 and it's a little over two hundred and twenty thousand is just the wrong thing yeah two hundred twenty 000. yeah a little over 220 000 kilometers there you go um what the crap is this you know what's great is the mobile version has shut up the mobile version of chrome has a thing where when you're stuck in one of these back loops where it just keeps reloading like it forwards you a few times so you can't spam click back to get back yeah on the mobile version you can tell it don't let this page bring up any more prompts but the desktop version doesn't that's lame linus owns all lambo welcome to the party dude uh yeah sure uh we're talking about my civic it's a joke it is a super joke yeah so this this is this is the thing i've been looking at that's a nice looking and by looking at i mean drooling over oh it's so beautiful um don't don't look at don't look at this wow don't look at that kind of thing okay um let's see i'm just trying to remember the range yeah okay so the 20 kilowatt hour battery pack is 160 to 100 and uh yeah 100 miles range at highway speed but there's different battery pack options so they're probably talking about this look how you knew that the basic yeah no i i knew there were different batteries a couple things i still don't like it's pretty heavy it's significantly heavier than mine battery packs i'm assuming yeah it's probably mostly in the batteries but so okay i haven't actually pitched this to the wife yet but let me let me try something out on you and see how it goes okay first i need to know though yes because this would be important for her as well for sure are you selling your bike sure i'll sell my bike i don't really have anywhere to keep it and are are you then not replacing the car oh no i'm i'll replace the car so you're gonna get this and a car okay just just shut up shut up okay she's gonna ask me hold on hold on yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah okay so glassy thing so so pretty much everyone and their dog has been like you're a tech guy i got a model s that's boring okay right well that's kind actually that's kind of my response to that because the funny thing about the super civic is that it's horrible but if your car is supposed to be a reflection of something about you like your car does say something about you the super civic for better or for worse is the linus mobile so you want something so rolling fast and electric because you're super fast no no no that's no no it's not that it's not that i just mean i mean it's been it's because this is a reflection of your perspective been hard for no no i'm not talking about this right now i just mean it's been hard for me to replace the super civic for multiple reasons one i hate car shopping yeah two it really is such a it is such a perfect fit for me not now but it was it was before it got a little too fast now it's too much it was the soup it was the zero f's mobile yeah super practical yeah reliable cheap cheap standard super cheap standard everything even windows yeah that i wasn't a fan of no well the windows are okay no ac was a problem though yeah um it's getting worse every year yeah it's been it was really bad we had a heat wave recently that sucked um anyway so it's been like the me mobile and it's been hard to find something that says anything about me a model doesn't no that's my issue with the model s yeah the model s says absolutely nothing about linus sebastian the person other than oh you're a tech guy i get a model s okay it's also really expensive it's also really expensive but but based on that everyone's telling me to buy a model s i figure people won't be like mad if i say look i haven't replaced my car in 10 years i'm getting a model s do you think people would resent that i don't think people would be mad i don't think it works for you i think it's ludicrously expensive okay okay so so let's assume that people you know and there's no right to repair on model s's on tesla i've heard a lot about this recently oh right to repair on this is like like tesla and right to repair are like not friends which this is i've very recently heard about this but that's not a that's not so i'm gonna pitch something here i'm gonna pitch something here for the cost of one model s i could get a clarity plug-in hybrid and for the daily commute and a super bike that doesn't mean you're supposed to spend that much money it means that i could but it doesn't mean that you're supposed and it would be the same as if i got a model s but you shouldn't have gotten a model s but i probably shouldn't do that okay i want to hear from twitch chat i need a second opinion of course they're going to talk i need a second opinion second opinion um okay okay people are like mkbhd got a model s that makes a lot of sense don't know about lioness um okay um i could but am i gonna superbike means midlife crisis dude dude what just right there okay vaughn can i pitch you something this is really important okay so so okay we need a straw poll really no no you gotta you gotta come on for a minute here can you can you pull it up okay so i'll draw my scene no no no no no she can just she can come she can come sit with me we're we're we're good friends here you guys hang out sometimes yeah we can we're not afraid of a little bit of physical contact made three babies you know okay oh all the keys in my pocket are killing my thigh you're why are you still so bad at this what it's killing my killing my lap actually i also have a keyboard in my pocket that's not right okay okay that's not my fault okay i need to i need to reach the thing okay so i'm gonna what is this question i run something by you get it or don't get it because we don't want to tell you what's going on yet okay so the model s um costs i have the same reaction i have the same result okay so the model s costs uh why is it why do they just put loan what is what is the difference between lease and loan that's stupid like what is a what is a loan no a loan i think is when you get financing oh financing why don't they just say financing well that is what that means okay so a model s uh is anywhere from okay the federal tax credit this is u.s oh crap okay well whatever it's about 85 000 canadian plus whatever i mean i would there's no way i wouldn't get the autopilot upgrade and stuff like that so let's say about 80 to 90 000 canadian okay so would i be allowed to get a model s why i thought you didn't want a model this is not the point that's not the people don't want so would i be allowed to get one i don't know it just has to make sense okay but could i could i make some kind of argument that that would make sense no probably not actually okay why because it's not practical it's not really sheet seven it's not really you see a minivan seats how many people and costs a fraction of that okay yeah this much may be true okay um i mean okay so so from a practicality standpoint no but if it was just like i really want this okay you could probably make that argument okay good good good good good okay that's all i need that's all i need okay so now how about this how about a very practical car that costs half as much and a super bike that also costs half as much how about that you're not getting the super bike but it's a lightning 0 to 60 in two seconds two seconds does that sound like a good thing for the father of you don't want you to die we have life insurance now that's so exciting all right thank you that was worth a shot oh my god you know it's funny that was fantastic i would say i should just do it anyway oh i have to go i don't know we all have to go actually okay i would say that i should just do it anyway but the cold hard truth is she completely controls all the money yeah i wouldn't be able to buy a hamburger without her knowing about it like it's actually a problem like i can't surprise her with a gift or anything because all the credit credits draw withdraw cash it's actually yeah but if i withdrew cash it would seem very unusual if it was any more than like 100 bucks here and there like i like to carry a little bit of cash because um a lot of places in richmond only take cash yeah but that's the only reason i carry cash so unless i like flip something on craigslist recently i don't have a ton of i don't have a ton of cash on hand so if she saw like you know a few hundred dollars come out of the account she'd be like hey does someone have your card someone have your pen yeah you're like no no uh well what was this what was this withdrawal because it's literally her job like actually her job every day to keep track of all the money yeah no no it's not like a control freak thing she's just literally the financial officer of both our family and our company so yeah there'd be okay well let me let me see the straw poll can i at least see the straw poll results i haven't even seen it okay what's up what's the url here is it case sensitive oh it's pretty close dot me slash 162 yeah zero six three yeah uh six seven okay let's have let's have a look here let's share the results with
