"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right guys sorry we're live and also well i'm not sorry we're live i'm sorry we're late i'm glad we're live and i'm glad we're alive i'm sorry we're talking to you today yeah i'm sorry i'm sorry about our topics you with all of that i think the sorry awesome mic's like pointing to no they're they're disappointed about the and it's really high up they're disappointed about the the the tardiness of the show but we're sorry about the good quality show we're sorry that it's so good that they have to wait for it to go live even though it's late what the hell are you talking about i'm trying to buy you time because you're apparently doing stuff we are not off to a good start today although we do have something pretty cool in store for you guys involving like hand canning and pov at all yeah yeah yeah it works i tested it already okay yeah mind you that doesn't necessarily mean it will continue to work because that's often the problem we have around here we might go a week without touching anything and come back and nothing works everything's changed which isn't what happened this time because we actually changed everything so it shouldn't be surprising that nothing works yeah but we're surprised anyway yeah welcome to the wan show guys we've got some great topics today apple's value drops by 28 billions of dollars all on account of some leaked celebrity nude photos the funniest thing about the whole thing you'll find out later because that's how this show works also nvidia starts a legal battle with samsung and qualcomm at the same time just throwing punches all over the place heavyweight battle also nvidia sorry in video i love you guys in video uh also the first round of like september's crazy mobile month has begun and we'll talk about some of those announcements later on and in other news 4chan now has a dmca takedown policy it's amazing what a couple of celebrity nude photos that get stolen and leaked not all the like child porn and other crap but celebrity nude photos i mean jennifer lawrence is upset is she is that whose photos were leaked either her or garner i can never remember i don't know the difference i don't really follow celebrities it's not aniston i know that much she's the one from friends i know i know the internet likes jennifer lawrence but i'm not i think she's the hunger games one is she yeah i think so oh yeah she's all right moving on not a show about movies so i think our volumes are both low i think the volume we can see if that helps a little all right guys we've got a couple of sponsors today dollar shave club shave time and shave money i keep i i get all the credit for this bad pun but it's like in their logo it's not my fault yeah don't they say that in their own commercials yes they do oh all right and squarespace 10 off with offer code linus make your own beautiful website on squarespace.com don't worry your website can live somewhere else entirely your website doesn't have to be on squarespace.com you don't pay them to create content for them to put on their website i mean what do you think this is like youtube okay technically we don't pay youtube directly but they certainly take their cut anyway let's move right into our first topic because we are running a little bit late and we're very sorry for that you guys you know the usual story involving technical difficulties was a lot worse than normal though yeah you will have come to be used to like three to five minutes yeah i know today was pretty bad i mean part of the problem is that we're way behind on making videos because we've been out of the office and uh it was a short week so there was a holiday monday this week so we had to effectively create an entire week's worth of videos in like three days so i was back here filming a lot of the last little bits and pieces of my upcoming htc one m8 for windows phone review it is a very good thing for htc that they released that before the flood of new products uh you know note 4 uh moto 360 new moto x before all that stuff started rolling in because otherwise i don't think it even would have gotten articles written about it um my video is pretty pretty negative i love the phone and i mean phone and in like a physical like made of molecule sense yeah yeah i love the phone the one i made is still great well you could argue software is not made of molecules it's made of thoughts and dreams ponies thoughts and trees thought streams and ponies that's fantastic minuses software tips we should just we should just get barnacles back on the show because i clearly have no idea what i'm talking about you should replace me permanently like the next time people need to do like an order form for supplies for a programming house because that exists other than energy drinks they're gonna be thoughts dreams ponies let's dream ponies they'll be like well i can't get these two but we'll definitely get a good stock opponent and like places like staples they have it set up so that you can have recurring orders so like every month you can get four ponies delivered if you want to fix your software you just need to like increase the count of thoughts streams of ponies yeah and the problems with some software is they might have too many ponies or too many thoughts and not enough dreams it's all about the ratio exactly but the only way to get dreams and ponies because you can get them both at the same time is actually to import eight-year-old girls they have dreams right about ponies that's interesting it saves you space because a six-year-old girl takes up so much less space than a pony this is something that modern software developers have not been doing very well that's why windows is so large on your uh on on your devices yeah that's right because one eight-year-old girl could potentially dream of dozens of ponies yup yup yeah all right so moving on apple's value drops by 26 billion dollars on account of the uh the celebrity nude photo leaks so share prices fell by four dollars and 36 cents per share or 4.2 percent this is the biggest decline in share price since january 28 2014 oh yeah january when it dropped by 6 19. so it's still up almost 30 since january 28th of 2014 so it's not like apple shareholders aren't still getting their money's worth out of that particular investment their value is still close to 600 billion dollars they're still the most highly valued us company in the world there's so many things that are like that though like the world series in the us love it um and i mean honestly i think the most ridiculous thing about all of this is it's all just hype yeah this is the scary thing about publicly traded companies is how much of how we value them has nothing to do with anything yes some nudie pictures were obtained illegally amorally just in a super crappy you don't steal people's stuff and i was actually really disappointed to see even on our own linus tech tips forum people discussing how well if you don't want nude pictures leaked on the internet then you just shouldn't take them and that you have loose morals if you're taking nude pictures you know what what do i have loose morals if my wife sees me naked like is that how this works obviously the picture was intended for a given recipient normally i'd like try to be devil's advocate but i just no no when something is stolen illegally that's wrong and yes online security and taking care of the naked pictures of yourself is your responsibility you do have to do that because this stuff does happen but that doesn't make stuff that's out there that isn't as well protected as something else just ripe for the taking it's still wrong and the kind of victim blaming that was going on like i'm not gonna get into the whole feminazi thing because i'm super not into that whole movement either but i also strongly disagree with the amount of victim blaming that's going on here and i mean the whole thing has gotten way too much coverage i don't even really like that we're even talking about it because i feel like by drawing attention to it you're just turning it into a much bigger deal than it is it's a couple new pictures of some women the internet is full of nude pictures of women who did it on purpose who actually got paid to create that those nude photos why does it matter if they happen to also star in movies and why are we obsessing over this and why is it such a big deal let them get on with their lives it's unreal yeah anyway the point of all that sorry go ahead sorry no uh and it wasn't even necessarily apple's fault that was exactly where i was going oh yeah uh so like the apple spent more than 40 hours of investigation which doesn't sound like a crazy that's a lot a company the size of apple the number of engineers they have oh see i when i read that i thought about that as like well two people is that's 20 hours of man hours for two people i calculated in overall man hours oh but i think you're probably right no i don't think so yeah i'm pretty sure i'm pretty sure it's probably a department for 40 hours that's a lot um anyways to and they figured out that it was more using stuff like they were targeting usernames which are probably not that hard to get in a lot of situations they're not and then using uh common password stuff and security question hacks which is like not a hack guessing it yeah guessing it or looking it up i mean that's that's the scary thing to me the way that security is handled even by companies as large as apple sometimes where they'll lock in what kind of a password you can choose or worse yet lock in the security questions you can super the only safe way to set up a security question for yourself guys if it's a predetermined list because especially for celebrities that information's out there you think someone doesn't you know what car you first bought or what elementary school you went to or what your teacher's name was like no that's not hard to find that crap is out there so the way that i actually do it is i have some security answers that have nothing to do with the question and i just pick a random question because it is extremely dangerous to just use one of those things mother's maiden name come on this is a digital age oh stupid that is very obtainable and so yeah that whole argument exists where people are responsible for their own digital security but you know what that's the kind of thing that i think nerd say quite frankly because yeah okay you're into digital security good for you like that's cool that's your hobby that's great some people have other things to do and that's fine maybe they make movies maybe they don't sit and research digital security best practices on reddit every night because they're reading through scripts to make millions of dollars and you maybe you kind of make the argument oh well then perhaps they should have a team of people who work for them who manage their digital circuit come on be real these are people not like enterprises that exist under them so i don't even remember where i was going with that but i'm just i'm driven crazy by people being upset that someone doesn't know something that they do you know what there's a lot of things that he knows that i don't and there's a lot of things i know that he doesn't yeah you know i if if he had a baby tomorrow i could either be a jackass and be like well you know you you got poop on your hands what you didn't know how to you know blind the do the things nope not at all i know jack all about taking care of babies that was actually a pretty good analogy because i literally know nothing i know i know so to me it's just it's it's so upsetting to see people mocking and see people blaming instead of actually trying to be helpful which uh mocking instead of trying to be helpful that leads us pretty well into our next topic doesn't it 4chan now has a dmca policy following the whole leaked nude photos incident this was an article on torrent freak i'm just going to go ahead and screen share here uh so basically in the wake of all this 4chan finally intros a dmca so that's digital millennium copyright act take down policy and i don't know if the more baffling thing about this is that it exists at all or that if it exists at all now it didn't exist before with the massive amounts of a leaked nude photos on there in the past of just normal people once again putting celebrities on this weird pedestal that like there's this weird double standard that exists and and two the amount of child porn oh god on 4chan i mean 4chan no offense to 4chan but it's one of those sites that i avoid just based on principle you just you just don't want someone to be able to know that you went there i won't i won't hang out there it's not even about not wanting people to know there's you know there's incognito mode in your browser you know there's sitting in a room alone at night because i'm usually up till three or four in the morning anyway i could visit 4chan if i wanted to but i would feel bad about wanting to the nsa would know yeah and then you'd show up on their google search thing anyways i don't even think this will matter at all i don't think this will change anything it won't affect anything 4chan is going to move way too fast because 4chan moves way too fast and it'll be like oh we're going to apply a dmca policy and someone's going to be like restart the thread doesn't matter at all yeah more people will just go to one of the other chans which there are many of so so there's that i'm just doesn't matter i'm just really surprised with the way that 4chan has always been like internet internet ra ra ra we can put anything literally anything on the internet which you have to you have to respect that principle even if you don't respect what it sometimes turns into often okay not always but often it's not a bad thing to stand up for no and i and i totally agree with that principle it's just it's so baffling to me that even though it won't affect anything that they had this sudden change of heart they probably had to in some way i haven't read enough into that part but they they were probably forced to in some way and then i bet you moot uh the guy that runs 4chan probably knew deep down that it just wouldn't change jackal because this is great someone's like 4chan doesn't have cp okay then um moving on um someone can serve a dmca thing for him to take it down and then he'll just be like oh well the thread 404 anyways so good work yes okay so shall we move on to oh i guess that ties pretty well into uh apple denies the icloud breach apples et cetera et cetera et cetera oh yeah right so the other other things for the icloud breach is that they uh the two-step notification thing and then two-factor authentication is interesting so the i think two-step was not enabled on that account correct i think that's how that went recommends users have two-factor authentication on any of my apple accounts i'm not sure if they support two-factor not yet recommends users to use their two-step verification if they're concerned about security but two-factor authentication will also cover icloud in the next version next revision of ios which will be later this month yeah so that's coming very soon actually there's a lot of really cool stuff coming with ios 8 i've been using ios 7 as much as i can leading up to the iphone 6 launch when i'll take a take a run at it uh with ios eight and there's a couple things i'm excited about we're finally getting swiftkey so there's that's a big one but um yeah i mean adding more security to things especially two-factor authentication which is basically a way of not just securing something with a password but also with an email or an authentication token that you have to use an app on your phone that you've authenticated separately is great it saved my hotmail account from getting hijacked back when i had my youtube account hijacked and if i had lost the hotmail account which was set up as the backup email it would have been much more difficult for me to get the youtube channel back so having two-step authentication or two-factor authentication is super super awesome and everyone should use it yep but we're also not going to blame people who don't use it nope all right motorola officially launches your new phone you want to talk about a little bit probably my new phone i'm not a hundred percent convinced yet but very highly the big problem i have with it is there's a lot of improvements and i'll get to there that's a problem well the problem i have there's a lot of improvements isn't it great how when you take things out of context they're funny sure i love how you admitted it was taken out of context though that helps me um it it's running a 2300 milliamp hour battery which is like dudes but then at the exact same time my moto my current moto x also has a teeny little battery and it's not really that that's all right doesn't it yeah it's very it's a very efficient phone it runs stock androids there isn't a whole bunch of crap running on top of it and i have always been pretty nazi about all the kind of stuff that's running on my phone i don't like extra stuff running on my phone so i don't have battery issues yeah i found one that was uh that was that was wrecking my phone battery on the one m8 um plex really yeah yeah i would uh after yeah doing nothing like boot up the phone yeah and touch nothing and then leave it there at 100 and come back at the end of the day and it's at like 20 having not touched it like brutal so i uninstalled plex and uh android kernel started using way less so instead of like through uh through task management programs i wasn't even able to narrow down which one it was because it was just hiding itself under multimedia something and then like android kernel we're both using ridiculous amounts of power so it's like plex i like you but this isn't gonna work for me with fairly heavy usage and leaving the thing on on moto x where on this like idle screen where it shows the time in the lock it'll show what notifications are coming in leaving that on which is kind of suicide but that's oled so that helps i know but still it still takes battery a little bit a little bit um i i can still get through a day and a half of fairly heavy use and this thing has a teeny battery so it's not ideal but i'm not super worried at the same time because of the experience i've had with this phone right i'm hoping that it'll still be okay on the new one if we get a loaner unit i know we're not getting a keeper unit for motorola but if we get a loaner unit do you want to do the review sure okay sure that would be cool so basically it's got a snapdragon 802 2.5 gigahertz processor this is much closer to flagship class than the original moto x was that was never intended to compete with the one m7 and the galaxy s4 at the time it was meant to be like a you know kind of step down but very practical and very nice all that but this one no this is like balls to the wall so 5.2 inch 1080p super amoled screen 2 gigs of ram 16 to 32 gigs of non-expandable memory oh front-facing speakers though yeah that's a big one pretty stoked about that and then a lot of the usual customization features so we're even getting those uh wood paneled backs which i think is super awesome the ring flash is fairly interesting now the camera it has a silver ring on this one but it's just oh you can't really see it at all it's just for aesthetic reasons on the new one there's going to be a ring around the actual camera which is its flash which looks a little bit interesting because it looks like you have like uh in some of the pictures at least it looks like you have a jewel in bed around your camera which looks like super ghetto right speaking of uh speaking of weird camera stuff the iphone 6 is rumored to have a raised camera bump as well which is so un-apple-like to compromise design for better functionality and i'm not 100 sure how i feel about it because on the one hand i do appreciate better functionality you know and i'm willing to give up a little bit of you know a bump here or you know widget there or dongle or whatever else but on the other hand apple was the one pushing the other guys who would compromise a little bit to strive for better design by never compromising on that so as much as i might not use a ton of apple products i appreciate what they've done for the industry and if they let it slip i have a feeling the samsungs and htc's and lg's of the world will just completely drop the ball we'll let it slip that much more i wasn't going to say completely drop the block i'm down with that i i don't really buy apple products there's a thread on the forum fairly recently where i talked about this i didn't even buy one of those old-school ipods i had a creative zen like i've never really been the dude that buys rca lira there you go i've never really been the dude that buys apple products at all but i've always appreciated their existence because when they got into stuff like the mp3 market either people got out of the market or stepped up their game yeah and then i will buy the products from the dudes that stepped up their game i'm i'm that dude but i still appreciate their existence because they do that so i hope they don't screw up in the absence of steve jobs so it's going to be a hundred bucks on contract or 499.99 unlocked which actually isn't that bad sure it's not that competitive with something like a one plus one but you can buy it without an invitation and also i one plus one is another one one plus you don't have to like hate the company that makes your phone i think hate is a strong word i think they're mostly misguided sure i don't think they do unpopular things on purpose i think they're legitimately trying to be liked i think at some level they just kind of don't get it whether it's a cultural barrier or just like that dude that jumps into the room and it's like yeah guys check this out everyone's like oh no it's like you know that thing you've got there is pretty cool i just wish that you hadn't gotten your armpit grease on it and kind of thing yeah yeah i mostly like you um speaking of things that i mostly like the moto 360 has finally been announced this was really this was originally posted by cyan bob on the forum speaking of which red round two posted the apple denies icloud breach 99 vw posted the other apple value drops thing and then the moto x1 was posted by dismo i got to give you guys the shout out and one thing i want to shout out to before we move on is that a lot of the articles from this week were written very well and were like pretty long and well well quoted with your own with your own interpretation of what's going on and your own thoughts and opinions and stuff that will be more important very soon yeah we'll have more details about that in a little while so the moto 360 is announced you can pre-order them they're 250 bucks u.s or 280 canadian um available in the us now canada later in the fall can be purchased from motorola's website or the google play store and from best buy this is the same moto 360 we've been talking about for a long time the main difference is now you can actually buy one and uh once again are you going smartwatch my friend i actually probably will be but then this brings in another worrisome thought which is where the moto x that i'm thinking about jumping to because i have to give my current phone back to its rightful owner um has not a huge battery even though it might be efficient i'm gonna have to run these connected all the time and that could be another strain on the battery yes it's less than you would think as someone who uses a smartwatch already i never have so i'm not really sure yeah it's it's one of those things where you could probably benchmark it but day to day it's not going to be like oh my god i have my pebble on i had to pull out my charger six times it's not that kind of a difference and the benefit is just oh man so great i would like one because i i've noticed more and more that i just leave my phone somewhere near me and i really like the screen feature where it'll tell me what notification i get because it'll buzz because i usually have it uh on vibrate because we film right um and i'll just look over and if it's not like an email or a text if it's like instagram or twitter or whatever i'm like okay i can probably leave that for a little bit yeah and check it later and it'll be fine yeah no it's fantastic and things like being able to control music yeah i i that's what i do 90 of the time that i'm interacting with my pebble when i'm not checking the time or reading a message is i'm controlling music from my pocket because and this is a this is another frustration as much as i love the way that apple moves things forward in some ways things like inline controls that work with your phone yeah apple also doesn't necessarily do all the standards all the time so uh so a lot of headsets particularly from companies like sennheiser that i really like will have these inline controls that don't work with my android phone so this is the way around it being able to leave my phone in my pocket that is cool and this has okay google support as well right yes so you will i mean aside from with the moto x you'll have support for google now from your pocket anyway yeah but i'm assuming this will be able to hear it better and if i leave my phone somewhere else yes and this will work with other phones that don't have that feature as well the thing i worry about here is battery life so anything with an always-on not e-ink or um shoot i forget mirasol or murasol display i worry very much about what the user experience is like and i would have liked to see someone pick up where qualcomm left off with the talk with that murasol display um it was much more power efficient than even amoled i mean you can see that motorola is trying here if we go back to the to the picture of the watch you can see that the stock watch face is mostly black that's the way amo led works anything that's black is actually powered off so you're going to get some power savings just by having thin white elements on an otherwise black screen i just i'm not sure if it's going to be enough i already run out of battery on my pebble from time to time and that one lasts me about four days so for something that i have to charge every night i feel like it's a bit of a hassle right i don't know this again these are these are two things that i'm extremely interested in acquiring myself and because i think they should honestly work pretty well together but uh i'm gonna need to and like the watch like i'm gonna have to wear the watch before i decide i'm gonna buy it i'm not gonna just order it online and be like it'll show up and i will like it that was one of my big problems with the talk was it just plain wasn't comfortable yeah um and this this is where when when we joke about best buy is like the amazon showroom like we actually need an amazon showroom yeah we need we need showrooms from these companies not necessarily stores um but showrooms because i'd like to go in and be like oh yeah this is pretty cool and maybe have it be like like the ncix langley kind of idea where you can order something online and get it shipped there and then pick it up well i mean you look at what guys like t-mobile are doing moving things into the 21st century where they they were doing trial devices yes super cool that would be awesome that kind of thing i'm totally down if i if i could go like new moto x and moto 360 let's do this for a week that would be great and i would know my answer for sure at the end of it yep and that would be exactly what i want the issue with that is you'll never see a program like that at launch so for the enthusiasts and early adopters the folks like us and the people watching this show that might not be that appealing because you're always going to have limited quantities of something available at launch even someone like apple where they've got iphone 6 in full-fledged full-scale mass production like weeks or even months ahead of the actual launch date you can still never make enough of them unless it's like a bad product in which case who wants to use it anyway yeah uh all right let's move on to our next topic here mozilla leaves a ton of passwords on a fairly open server twice okay so there was hold on posted by rainfall within on the forum and the original article is from hot for security take it away luke there was a freaking ton of misinformation about this so i'm gonna go through it generally and then clear up some stuff that there was misinformation about so for the second time in a month one of them was at the beginning of august and one of them was on august 27th so the first one was 76 000 email addresses and 4 000 heavily encrypted passwords not plain text passwords um and those were left publicly accessible on a server for 30 days not good and then on august 27th they found that 97 000 users also had issues who were not this isn't firefox browser users that's this is one of the big misinformation thing this isn't like i had firefox browser and my email was randomly stored on the server no these are people that were running test builds not even just the normal thing test builds of bugzilla very specific and not people that were signed up on the bugzilla forums not people that were accessing those those their their accounts in that way just actual people signed up directly for the test build of bugzilla those are the people that were affected so i saw a couple people like jumping ship off firefox in the massive browser war that that thread turned into which it should not have turned into but internet so it did um we're jumping ship off firefox because they're like oh no my email's stolen no dude only if you were a bugzzilla pre-release tester like not even just someone who used bugzilla but someone who is like developer level testing for bugzzilla anyways um and no they did not make the same mistake twice within a month and like make a mistake and then make a mistake again knowing that they made the first one that that's not what happened they discovered a mistake and then what i'm assuming is they searched for more and then discovered another one that was made previously because the second one had been open for i believe three months so they found two mistakes they didn't make two mistakes in one month they were i believe two or three months apart and like i just said i'm gonna have to assume they found the first one and then we're like oh crap and started looking around and found the second one so yeah tons of misinformation going around about that thread and then like tons of misinformation for the first about page and maybe a quarter and then all the rest of it was just this stupid browser war because it's the internet come on yeah because internet that yeah my browser takes point zero zero zero zero one seconds and it's already happening in twitch chat i use ie tor browser master race no one cares chrome is my main driver but it's heavy as hell that i'm okay i'm with you on that one i also daily drive on chris i don't but it is oh it drives me crazy they all suck let's just come together and accept it come together we need slower now more solid builds that's what we need okay uh so i have a straw poll for you guys i am not going to be here for wan show next week in the in like a span of a month you're not no i'm gonna be at the event in california that's next week that's not that event in california we have the event together in california the following week yeah i have no idea how we're gonna get content for the channel over the next couple weeks here so in a span of like four weeks i think we're doing like five events so uh we did packs um i have a secret one coming up we're doing the mod 24 nvidia thing which there will be more details about revealed tomorrow so stay tuned for that um you're going to ctia so that's the wireless industry show which will be interesting that's the first time we're doing something like that and i feel like there's one more i'm missing lots of feedback germany's coming up yep germany's germany's coming up soon actually everest was only can i talk about this i guess so germany so uh luke and i are going on a european field trip so we will be touring two very cool factories should rent a yellow bus no not in the budget a really short one at all um so we are going to be visiting the cherry factory you know the guys who make keyboard switches this is going to be courtesy of corsair and cherry and we are going to be touring the sennheiser facility as well and we are potentially going to be getting an interview opportunity with one of the co-founders of sennheiser and and um or sorry one of co-ceos excuse me and we are potentially going to get an opportunity to interview um the guy who does their product development so the guy who designed the hd8 djs for example i get too i'm sure you'll like to meet him i get to congratulate him out of one side of my mouth for how amazing they sound and then ask him why the hell there isn't at least like an aftermarket option for increasing the headband padding a little bit because after like a couple hours it starts to wear on me i'm just like oh but they sound so good i'll like take them off i'll put on something else be like ah screw it and then put them back on that's why i like my um 5.95 so much even though i recommend 555s because you can just do the rubber band hack but they just feel so comfy i could literally wear those forever yeah and the hd600s are the same they sound really great but they're open which is a bit of a problem because the volumes i like to listen to sometimes um that can be an issue because the baby is through a wall i live alone but probably three feet four feet from my desk right very close yeah um and she is a very late sleeper all right so anyway i'm not going to be here next week so i want you guys to tell me who you want luke's co-host to be some of these people aren't even options and i'm more just curious it's like a popularity contest and i just want to see who wins options uh so the options are barnacules timmy techtv edseltern and cold sc who is luke's brother all right so we'll go ahead and hold that c in number two throw those results up there while we uh while we move on to the next topic what else we got uh i was staring at the results a bunch of tablet stuff yeah lenovo launches a tablet it's 199.99 it's got a 19 by 1200 display it's got an atom processor which is very interesting to me asus was showing off some great atom-powered stuff at ces this year that it's like yeah snapdragon whatever adreno gpu cool and then there's like intel's onboard graphics which might not be that great in a notebook but you throw that stuff in a tablet it's like freaking awesome damn um it also has two gigs of ram 16 gigabytes of storage 16 gigs needs to go away now like now how does that still exist like it's one thing if you give me enough storage for all my apps and i have to put all my other crap on an sd card or even cloud storage we should hold on hold on we need a growling contest yeah i can't keep a straight face i win all right back to the uh back to the results that was probably really bad for my throat yeah probably you probably shouldn't have done that sweet i hate him on all right it has a 4 42 90 milliamp hour battery bluetooth 4.0 uh dolby whatever totally worthless but they're front facing speakers that's the important part um 8 megapixel rear camera 1.6 megapixel front camera if you're gonna put a 1.6 megapixel camera on something i would say don't bother you know the best part about that growling contest is yes we probably just peaked the whole oh we totally did i'm monitoring nice um all right there's an lte model available at a higher price and it runs android 4.4 kitkat it will also have 64-bit compatibility and i would encourage you guys if you aren't already go subscribe to tech quickie because we have a once and for all 32-bit versus 64-bit video coming out that i want you guys to watch and then i want you guys to share because more ram and windows bro yeah because it contains a lot of information that actually it doesn't contain that much information but it contains information that people need to know which is that 64-bit is not i'm not gonna spoil it for you guys all right so moving on uh looks like barnacles is out ahead although cold sc is actually not that distant a second which is good because it'll probably be cool it's already kind of a foregone conclusion i traded him a graphics card for a couple of lan show appearances so he's already pre-paid yeah yeah yeah makes sense all right so oops wrong window another tablet yes yes let's talk about that one hold on hold on original posters uh so top war gamer posted the lenovo 8 inch android tablet and rainfall within posted the mozilla story all right moving on to the toshiba one so that's top war gamer again hit us what do we got it's named the encore mini it has a seven inch 10 24 by 600 screen it is 120 uh windows 8.1 tablet though so i don't know yeah so we're talking like x86 windows 8.1 so a quad-core intel atom processor 16 gigabytes of internal storage but it does have an sd slot for expansion so there we go because we can do what we were just talking about which is you can have your os and your apps and then a whole bunch of files on your music and your videos i mean with microsd capacities up to what like 128 gigs these days like it's it's just kind of a joke to be concerned about having to store stuff on microsd especially if it's stuff like songs or movies or whatever else yeah no big deal um it uses windows 8.1 with bing which is a horrible sentence to say i don't play so bad you know it's funny i was playing around with cortana on my htc one m8 for windows review one thing that i was just kind of like you know can i just reconfigure this so that when it does do an internet search it just uses something other than bang please just anything just don't use bing um anyways there's a few drawbacks like bad viewing angles no windows button just give me anything oh no no no no no yeah but well i would do anything to search but i won't bring that sorry i'll let you finish the story that was great that should be our next song we did the rap now we can do like anything but anything but that but remixed fantastic someone says bing is literally google with the skin no it's i'm sorry but you're dumb i don't usually say that kind of stuff oh my god but it's like not wrecked oh wrecked um sorry that was that was bad um if it was if it was google with a skin i might actually use it i know right because it looks all right it does it looks good okay sorry talk about this tablet so yeah it has drawbacks because it's a hundred and twenty dollars yeah there's going to be drawbacks uh full windows isn't necessarily optimal for a seven inch screen either what the heck um and it's i don't know it's a super super super cheap tablet so it is what it is why don't we move on yeah that's pretty much it uh more exciting news is that the amd r9 295x2 is on promotional breathing which i think means basically amd codeword for it is now this price we dropped the price to something more competitive don't buy it at anything other than this price also we're like we're trying to give in video the business because nvidia tried to drop titan z down to what two grand i think to select system builders and amd's like we're going to do a thousand dollars for ours we're still half the price so uh yeah so through specific retailers for as low as a thousand bucks for a thousand bucks do you think that card makes sense i don't like crossfire sli and i especially don't like them on the same card but it is kind of interesting alrighty then interesting okay add a thousand dollars though if you're going for raw fps can you come up with a better solution he's thinking yeah no the answer is kind of no like you do have to find a spot for the radiator but at a thousand dollars what else can you buy you can pick up two 780s but those are gonna be three gigs didn't two 90s just get a price drop as well i think two yeah but 295 x2 is two fully fledged 295 x or 290xs it is not to 290s because because due to the water cooling they were able to make it a fully you could do something for the same price but not necessarily lower and not even quite okay yeah the same price but that diamond card on new egg there for 489 is um that those are two 90xs right okay but that is a dual slot card whereas a 295 x2 is a dual slot card for two gpus well we didn't we didn't have a limit for slots or like case size or anything i think i said better solution but then i said in terms of raw fps mind you um 290 290 x's particularly if you cross fire them unless you have an extremely well ventilated case could easily throttle whereas the 295 x2 won't due to the liquid cooler so in terms of raw fps it might still win and then liquid cooling these would make them better but would also massively increase the cost much more expensive so i don't think g10s would be enough i don't know go go amd um that said that's probably the most exciting thing amd did this week and they actually launched a new gpu based on a new micro architecture tonga is the least interesting thing ever i think i pretty much said that in my video i mean it's good it slots in at around the same price point as the card that it replaces that is around the same price exactly what everyone thought it would do yes it's more power efficient it has better feature support so you've got freesync as well as um hardware h.264 4k encoding and decoding and the like super weird but kind of interesting multi-monitor speaker arrangement setup thing yeah where it like automatically makes it left right center channel if you're using the internal speakers on your monitors for a massively expensive triple setup using a 285 what i read that and i was like the only big issue i have with it is that they cut the ram from three gigs to two gigs in an era where more ram is becoming more important every day and when amd themselves almost a year ago now in hawaii spent so much time talking about how important it was that 290 series had four gigs of ram compared to the competitions lower frame buffer amounts yeah so amd guys you gotta you gotta figure out your story it's your naming yeah 285 is kind of brutal like what are you doing what would you have rather they did i don't know not that they shouldn't have done that r9r7 thing in the first place yeah you know what i actually screwed it up in the video i called the r7260x the r9 260x and someone called me on it and i was just like you know what i don't care because that's dumb it should just be the 260x you know what from now on let's make a pact everything's r9 nothing is wrong we don't give the r's no there are no r's see i did that on one of my graphs and everyone freaked out nope okay well from now on that's okay should we just do it r yeah used to be yeah let's call it it should have been we'll just get like like the old code names like the r600 codename we're just gonna be like okay r260x and like gf no because i i'm okay with nvidia's it's like gtx is gaming okay so it's just gtx whatever you don't really have to say g-force anymore just like radeon so we'll go r whatever and then gtx whatever and people will just they will like it because the r stands for radeon speaking of people liking things for the number of people who complained about us running overclocked benchmarks on our gpus i think that many times several complained about us not running overclocked benchmarks goes to show you nobody's ever happy so i think what we should do is maybe go back to overclocked benchmarks but with a caveat so maybe instead of going balls to the wall on the graphics cards let's do the same thing we do on cpus where we aim for that low hanging fruit see the problem with that and the reason why we haven't done that in the past is actually because with cpu launches it's much more orchestrated we have more information from more people with graphics card launches we're in the black okay another thing though so i have no idea actually this is a new thing that i kind of decided today i was i was like chatting with ryan trout from pc per on skype and i was just like you know what i don't care about embargoes anymore we're not going to hit embargoes anymore we're going to do everything late and we're going to try it for a little bit and some people probably won't like it but there are a couple of reasons for this number one is that we're a youtube channel first and foremost and youtube actually prioritizes newer content in search results so us being a day or two or even six hours after everyone else has been beneficial for us in the past reason number two speaking of beneficial for us in the past we have launched content as much as months late what about the noctua cooler wasn't that like a year late something like that i mean the pebble the original pebble if you look for here so this is a perfect example let's screen share with linus i searched for pebble my pebble smartwatch review was months late months after everyone else did unveilings and hands-on and full reviews and yet 274 000 views i believe that's the one of the most for any original pebble review and i was way late so the way that i'm kind of looking at it is you know what maybe let's not make it about the product so much let's make it more about having great quality content making sure it's right and not staying up until four in the morning the night before to finish benchmarking something when we can just release something else that day and do it right so i don't know it's not a hundred percent it's just something i was kind of kicking around i think it also sharing it with you guys depends on what it is and when we get it because a lot of times like with the extreme edition like we got the bios for that board like the day before i had to do all the testing like that's ridiculous yeah i mean yeah that's a perfect example x99 okay got pushed up we i think mostly people know this if you've been following the rumor mill the rumors changed at some point which is often an indication that something changed um so we got a finished retail bios which in fairness to asus particularly was not very different from the previous one we had which wasn't very different from the previous one we had in fact i think the only bugs they fixed there were like if you didn't have a cpu fan installed uh the ignore cpu fan speed feature didn't work or something like that like it was minor tweaks so asus actually had their crap together reasonably well yeah but that doesn't change the fact that we got a new nvidia driver optimized for x99 i think three or four days before launch three three and that was over a weekend yeah so not very helpful yeah we got a new uh we got a new asus bios like a couple nights before the launch like it was it was very last minute and you know what no one seems to have minded that our 5960x video went up on the tuesday yep so there you go apparently we only need 11 000 more subscribers to get to a million that's pretty insane yeah people want us to discuss pewdiepie's disabling of comments so this was originally posted by onotech on the forum and i actually went ahead and i posted on facebook asking what people thought whether we should do the same thing and there was some there were some really interesting thoughts there but i'll let you kind of cover exactly what happened here original article here's from kotaku here it is one thing i want to talk about before i even get into this is i've talked about pewdiepie on the show before and about how i don't i think i've used the wrong terminology i probably said i don't like him i don't like the character he portrays in most of his videos after watching this i went through and watched like a couple other videos that he's done um like you brought up the uh what is it the fine brothers yeah youtubers react he's a lot more sane i ended up looking that up and i watched this video and stuff and like seems like a pretty smart dude no no problem with that i'm just not interested in his content so anyways uh he has decided to disable comments forever forever this has been because he is sick of seeing mainly spam people self-advertising and people trying to provoke others and all the other people responding to those things making them go to the top and making them very the the main things that people are actually looking at especially with youtube's new style of comments yeah and you know it's always been a problem new comment system old comment system as you get bigger and bigger the signal to noise ratio in the comments goes down and no offense to felix um but something about his style of content i think attracts a less sophisticated commenter yeah which is again one of the reasons why i don't like his okay go ahead with the rest of the story and then i'll talk about sort of some of my thoughts on it as well um the main issue is that most of the positive feedback or even like constructive negative feedback and welcome suggestions and all that kind of stuff are buried under all this what is essentially junk crap that gets in a lot of the videos and he has said i just want to connect with you bros which is currently that was a quote which is currently impossible essentially because it's just buried under all this stuff and you have to imagine how many comments he gets in all of his videos it's he's not gonna be able to read every single one of them i don't think he could actually read that fast at his scale don't know if it's possible like yeah he'd have to have a team of people and that's insane he could probably afford it i have a team of people and i'm like a fresher just to write comments though just well i wouldn't spend my money on that you'd have to have a whole department of people just to sit in a room and read youtube comments and like collate all the important ones and hand you a package even if i was making four million dollars a year i don't think i would spend it on that so stupid anyways so he he's decided to try and move to things like maybe direct twitter interaction twitter hashtags that he can hashtag a certain video then you can look up that hashtag to see what people think about that certain video subreddit or subreddit or something like that things that people like totalbiscuit have already been doing pewds isn't gonna watch this but if he did i would suggest that maybe it's time to not necessarily be so married to being a one-man operation and invest in something like building a community the linus techtips.com forum is awesome awesome that's why i always have the call to action too if you don't want to post on youtube post on the forum because i always read every single comment on every single video that i make that is on the forum thread for that video i read all of them hands down and so that's what i would encourage him to do because there you can actually foster the kind of attitude and the kind of community that you want i mean mostly once it reaches a certain tipping point there's only so much you can do but at least it's it's usually more refined because it takes that extra step yes and having your own community is is so much more of a powerful way to connect with people and have them connect with each other i think that's the thing that's missing in a lot of social networks is the connection between bros so to speak as opposed to between pewdiepie and all the bros so i would really encourage him to allocate some of his four million a year to someone to to build a community forum and do community management you probably get a pretty cool server probably better than ours yeah probably better than ours uh all right so oh right i wanted to give some my thoughts so i went ahead and i i posted on facebook asking people for their thoughts and i read most of what came in in the first half an hour or so and i had a lot of people saying yes it's a cesspool and i had a lot of people saying no it's not you know with some people even going as far as to say i'll unsubscribe if you disable comments which i think is ridiculous because it's not youtube is a video watching site first and a commenting on the video site like sixth there's a lot more stuff that you can do and you actually find that i watch more of total biscuits videos now that he doesn't have comments than i did in the past so it might sound weird but it just it's it's even though i wouldn't really read them that much and even though i'd only really get the top comments his videos seem less aggressive not because he's doing it but because like the the overall experience the environment yeah yeah it's totally about that and i guess that's what got me thinking so i had a lot of people saying no don't do it because you know sometimes i post questions in your comments and i actually get an answer and it really made me think and i was also on the pka podcast last night we were talking a little bit about about poison within the community and how to manage it and i kind of realized you know what our audience is pretty damn mature i was just going to say i think a big part of it is that we're not a let's play channel we're not a let's play channel we're not a we're not a you know i don't want to pick on anyone in particular but we're not like okay i'm not just not gonna pick on anyone but the point is our type of content is only really interesting to people who are somewhat technology literate which i think is going to mean you somewhat know how to use the internet which of course means we have more adblock users and all that stuff but you know if if someone was to go okay well linus what would you rather have would you rather have users that use adblock and you know that couple of pennies or whatever per view doesn't get contributed to you but they don't poison your community or would you rather have these poisonous people that are giving you a couple pennies i will take the mature community every time because at least those people i can reason with you know with the relationship we have with them over the years and maybe go okay well hey maybe you turn on adblock but would you consider buying a cool t-shirt once in a while and that's yeah we've we've found a way that at least i personally think the mass majority mass majority of our community is cool with us monetizing different things and i think one of the one of the big problems that i've seen a lot of the adblock guys talk about is they don't want to see they don't necessarily mind advertisement they don't want to see most the crap that ends up getting in their advertisement feed i don't think advertisement in general is necessarily evil it's just well yeah no because this can be okay if you have a legitimately good service at a legitimately fair price i appreciate someone taking the time to tell me about it so i think it helps that we kind of act as a filter speaking of filters and advertising we've actually got our sponsor segment coming up so first up is and i love this i love it when this happens you know what i you know why i think i'm always wearing my squarespace shirt because you always wear your squarespace okay there's i have two of them so i usually wear a squarespace shirt twice a week in between laundry cycles because they're american apparel and they're so soft and they're so nice um so there's so there's that so if other sponsors are watching this right now that's the way to get linus to pimp your crap it's that simple send them like super nice american apparel shirts and like some bamboo shirts and on fridays i'm usually like my most tired because it's been a long week it's like you know what i don't care if i'm like being a poster boy for squarespace i'm gonna put my comfy shirt on i want a comfy squarespace shirt yeah too bad i just have this like shirt that i got from pax did i tell you about how i got this no i'll tell you the the biggest like pax hack after the after the sponsor okay so squarespace if you guys aren't familiar already is the fast easy way to make your own beautiful website did i mention affordable you can save 10 by visiting squarespace.com linus and using offer code linus and it really is out of everything i've tried anyway which is a safe statement for me to make because i haven't tried to build too many websites but it is definitely the easiest way to build a website that's functional and looks great it looks good on your notebook it looks good on a desktop it looks good even on mobile and it's going to be snappy and responsive because they take care of the actual hosting of the website with a flexible plan that you can go ahead and negotiate with them according to the different tiers depending on what you need it's also incredibly scalable and you can go from three people a week or visiting my website about my cats to i'm selling pet accessories and i'm getting thousands of hits a week and people are flooding my site because you can turn squarespace into a full-fledged ecommerce site with the built-in tools it's got an easy logo designer which saves you a little bit of either hassle or expense when you're first starting up and it's just super easy to use also they happen to be awesome dudes so there we go we like squarespace we like the people who work there and we like that they support the wan show and you guys should probably like that they support the lan show too because if it wasn't for sponsors like squarespace it would be pretty hard for to do the things that we do and speaking of other sponsors dollar shave club what's dollar shave club pretty darn straight forward dollar so symbolic of money shave so symbolic of saving money and club which is sandwiches so it's all about saving money on sandwiches dollarshaveclub.com no i'm totally kidding saving money so you can buy some saving money yes dollar shave club is all about buying yourself one additional sandwich per month so you you save money by uh shaving which helps you acquire female attention which then you can buy uh stuff so that they can make you sandwiches so not only does dollar shape club hopefully help you get into a relationship we were trying you are now clean-shaven earlier in this very show we were trying to be progressive about treatment of the opposite sex and then you're gonna go and turn why are you bringing this to a sex thing it could be a girl sponsored why could a girl not buy a dollar shave cliff supplies hashtag get wrecked okay technically strictly speaking although dollar shave club does aim most of their marketing at men women get sold a lot of stupid gimmicks when it comes to shaving supplies too and maybe that's it maybe all of you guys are already signed up for dollar shave club dollarshaveflip.com but maybe you know some female friends who could benefit from you know a quad blade or even six blade executive razor you know what they call it the executive you can be a female damn it it's 2014. we have female executives exactly tell marissa meyers that she can't that she can't have an executive razor you know what i can cook pretty well all right i know there's probably some dudes in the audience that could cook so there you go guys dollar shave club ships you high quality razors and other bathroom supplies including their one wipe charlie's butt wipes for men or women as well as their aftershave and their shave butter which goes on clear so you can see what you're doing twice as important when you're shaving a particularly tender area so dollarshaveclub.com guys check it out now join the club start shaving time and shaving money okay so how to get those hilarious how to get that shirt how to get this shirt and like a whole ton of extra shirts when you go to different gaming conventions a lot of uh what they try to get you to do to get the free shirt which is not free at all is pre-order their game creator and games is not free bull crap and is not free at all and is super stupid so what you do is you go up to their booth and you pre-order everything you can so that you can get all their swag but you do it on it you're not really telling people this are you telling people this you're going to wreck the system for yourself actually they'll never catch on no it doesn't matter they're so oblivious all right do it do it tons of people and like you probably already know about this but just this is for the people that don't okay there's because there's probably people out there that don't emo polar bear says my girlfriend prefers my dollar shave club razors to her women's razors there you go guys and and dollar shave club if you're still watching you guys need to get a lady raiser going anyway um yeah so what what you do is you go up to the booth and you pre-order everything so you get all their extra little things and their swag like shirts and stuff and then you do it on amazon because amazon does not charge you until they ship so then you just go back to your computer or go on your phone or whatever go to your amazon account recent orders cancel done you get all the swag for free it took you like two extra seconds and you're done so i got all the ubisoft shirts all of them and like all the other shirts there that required a pre-order because i was just like oh i need to pre-order the game sure cool done people say you guys need to have an option to accept tips in your video descriptions um we have we have that we have our our monthly contributor thing or you can buy a t-shirt or or you can just change your amazon bookmark to one with our affiliate code we have instructions to how to do that linked in every one of our video descriptions that helps us out a lot i mean between us girls amazon affiliate revenue has become a way for me to continue expanding the team like it's turned into not just a couple bucks here and there so you guys have been amazingly supportive but i mean more is always better because as much as we just hired someone i would like to add more because i mean luke's gonna be out of the office for a week out of the next two weeks you know traveling to shows and doing show coverage and stuff like that we're gonna need i'm gonna be out for at least at least two days yeah how many three three three yeah no no i'm out for five too because i'm doing two events too how are we gonna do anything i don't know we'll figure it out but the point is i hired him because i needed help we're getting to the point where luke needs help so if you guys if you guys like encourage people you know or ask permission and then change people's browser bookmarks to amazon to ones with our affiliate code every little bit helps especially people you know who shop on amazon a lot we need to find a way that we can have it as an auto executable off a flash drive yeah there's also a browser toolbar oh actually that would be brilliant no that's that's like yeah i'm not doing that um so you're a terrible person actually that's kind of smart what if we had linus tech tips branded usb drives that basically um we sold like at a loss so people could buy usb drives from us on the cheap but that had that pre-loaded but in a very upfront way so the idea was hey you're buying this usb drive this usb drive is designed to override your amazon affiliate links when you plug it in we just give them like a a loader that loads it onto that people want a donate button on twitch why we should just put a button on twitch that links them to the store on the forum where they can become yeah we should just we should actually have just a description on our twitch page i love twitch they're my friends but they don't need half of the monthly donation yeah so but that is what i don't i don't think they're asking for a sub button yeah they're asking for a donation button so if we had like links yeah those are different a sub button is a twitch subscription because like my personal channel has a sub thing and it has a donation thing and it has a donate to child's play thing oh okay yeah speaking of which i have to do the als donation i haven't done that yet i did my ms one oh crap okay yeah i i committed 500 and then fractal's going to match it so crap i got i'll do that this weekend cool all right so let's move on to our next topic this is just this is something pretty quick but the asrock x99 xtreme 11 features 18 sata 6 gigabit per second ports this was originally posted by top picks on the forum and i think rather than talking about this a whole lot we're just going to let pictures do the talking did you see the super scary thing though yeah right there super scary um i've seen asrock motherboards with chipset fans before that don't turn on unless you enable them so i'm not sure if they have that here but one of their previous extreme 11 boards was like that the problem is that it ran so hot that you had to enable the fan on that particular model look at this though that's ridiculous two usb 3 headers just because whatever because why not should we give asrock a chance is asrock participating in our four-way motherboard ease of use shootout i think they did didn't they board for it yeah we have a board so um so let's give asrock let's give azeroth a chance to win us over because the last time i really tried to use an asrock board it was back in the like blue room days at ncx i think yep and the last time i put an asrock board in my own system was a 939 duel that was like optron 165 dual core days all right uh steam client beta update brings better streaming support overall especially to amd cards uh this was originally posted on the forum by welcome uh so you want to cover this one uh yeah there's a there's a few things actually they're also doing tweaks to stream uh steam music where it can find music inside steam directories that probably should have been there by default guys because you can kind of buy soundtracks with games and it wasn't automatically picking them up and that's super stupid but it can now which is great there's ui improvements they're reducing energy usage when it's running in the background but it just kind of generally supports they're saying in-home streaming now support in-home streaming support now available for amd cards that's a note in here i didn't know that it wasn't available before uh i think it wasn't optimized because the thing is the thing is for every encode encode and decode like combination they have to make sure it all works and with all the hardware different hardware encoders and decoders that are out there there's a lot of optimization for valve to do for what was at least at the last time i talked to him basically a one-man army team yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly there you go uh you can now stream from linux uh from a linux host to pcs now uh which is interesting you and you can uh use vce hardware encoding of direct 3d games now if you have a radeon 77 xx whatever numbers those are at the end or a r9 200 series above the 240 above 240. okay cool well that'll just keep getting better and then when we get an android steam client then everything else will be irrelevant yeah all right so this is something that uh if you've been following me for a long time then you might know about this already what the bloody heck was that magma pci something oh yeah so i did a video of this bad boy quite a while back oh come on there it is magma express box 3t thunderbolt external pci express enclosure um and i got really amped about this product because it was basically a way to install a graphics card yeah look the old intro i haven't seen that forever let's watch it hello all those effects were made yeah yeah all the sound i i barely remember the actual video sequence but all the sound effects are like permanently ingrained in my brain yeah that was like actually cutting cardboard and that the ping for the him winking is hitting a glass with a spoon because we were worried about like uh usage rights for sound effects and we didn't have any sound effects libraries okay so this bad boy lets you install graphics cards sound cards whatever else and connect all of them to a pc via thunderbolt well the unfortunate thing about this was due to amd mostly amd and nvidia as far as i could tell and their support for this technology it was not possible to install external graphics cards even though it was just a pci express 4x link over thunderbolt well now and this was originally posted by randomkid on the forum msi has taken it into their own hands to release their new gs30 shadow and gaming dock so basically it's a 13.3 inch notebook with just plain intel onboard graphics and then a an external pci express link to this box that will house an external graphics card this is the ultimate to me because for carrying around i use an ultrabook i'm not going to carry around a g750jz all the time i actually love the g750jz he's a pretty big dude great nope this notebook i actually love this notebook it's incredibly well cooled it performs really well it's done great for us on shows or like if this thing's like glitching out in the cpu usage pinned at 100 and i'm trying to like capture footage or something i know i can go to the g750 and it'll just be fine because it's basically desktop power but the problem is i'm not gonna carry that around with me all over the place unless i need that power all over the place like at a show so something like this is a great solution out and about great battery life get home plug into the dock got your peripherals got your 34 inch ultra wide monitor yeah and that desktop grade graphics performance i'm excited to punch the crap out of this thing me too yeah speaking of benching the crap out of things um totally not related to that at all but lg confirmed that they are sending us their new curved 34. lg man be excited for a video about that from him that's happening i am either going to conclude that it's the best thing ever or i'm going to conclude that it's the best thing ever for people who want a curved monitor yeah both of those conclusions will be pretty darn positive i already know this my favorite thing about lg monitors too is hashtag no bias my favorite thing about lg's monitors right now at least is that they can't um they don't currently have some way to read all of the data on the monitor and send it back so you don't have to assign like six different check marks saying that you're okay with all of your data being theirs when you pry the product yeah the monitors still don't suffer from those phone and uh smart tv issues because i really wanted to just get a g3 and be happy with that and then i was like it's kind of a cool phone yeah it's a pretty cool phone yeah yeah all right so details of the new moto g are available on motorola's site 5 inch 720p screen they're going much bigger across the across the entire lineup eight and 16 gig versions available sd card slot 16 gig plus sd card i'm kind of okay with but i really wish we'd move to 32 two front-facing speakers again go motorola is motorola turning us into motorola fanboys over here slowly yeah but they need to work on battery life my first cell phone was actually a motorola mine was i don't know what it was because it was horrible it was the cheapest thing they could get me that had a sliding front because i didn't want to flip one my um my mom is hard of hearing so a weight smartphone my first smartphone was oh no not smartphone this is my first phone what yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah what hold on hold on just calm your calm your boobies what this is the motorola v-box because my mom's hard of hearing so it wasn't so much so we all got that i feel bad so it wasn't so much about the phone call experience but more about the text and this was one of the first options available ever in fact it might have been the first with a full-fledged keyboard full qwerty keyboard like an actually a fairly good one i got pretty fast on this thing and there are no good pictures of it because like exactly how could you take a good picture of that back when this thing existed like 2 megapixels was pretty good for a digital camera but we all had them in order to talk um in order to use voice communication you actually had to use a headset beautiful not bluetooth headset mind you wired inline headset or they had this goofy stupid thing that like clipped onto the battery cover that plugged into the headset jack which wasn't very durable because apparently that reminds me of like remember remember how you trick out your game boy color it's like all those like weird attachments and the lights never had a game boy color oh did you ever i was a game gear kid no you're a game gear game gear how many how many landfills are filled with the batteries that you used for that i actually that was the game the reason why you jumped to rechargeables was what drove me to rechargeables yep that's fantastic yeah the game gear single-handedly me to return six right six double crochet double a's anyway sorry you were saying i don't remember okay i thought i was just talking about yeah no i was talking about how the uh you can attach that mic or whatever right and how you were explaining it reminded me of all the attachments and stuff you could get for stuff like game boy color right or or a game boy classic or a whole bunch of different game boys where you get like the light or the weird screen protector thing or the screen magnifier or like the grip thing and like oh my goodness or the chrome rims basically subwoofer yeah speaking of chromed rims and subwoofers this was originally posted by james 669 and dell is showing off their latest 5k monitor 4k that is so 2014 last quarter for this quarter next quarter dell will make available for the value price of 2500 a 27 inch 14.7 megapixel monitor this bad boy will not be able to be driven by displayport 1.2 in fact just to demo the thing they had a quadro 5000 running with dual displayport 1.2 output out to the dual inputs on the monitor i have to question why we need this i can imagine this as a tech demo like i can see them creating this for a trade show or something yeah well yeah it's going to go on sale it has a price yeah yeah it just feels like because we can i mean i'm already not sold on 4k because of the scaling issues in windows oh god once that gets addressed let's all go 4k but right now it is not a great experience right now i think 1440p is pretty awesome and i actually and that's one of the reasons i like lg's 34 inch ultra wide so much is that it's the same pixel pitch as a 27 inch 1440p monitor but it's 3440 by 1440 so it's a nice high resolution and it's so big this isn't that big it's only 27 inch it's very high resolution which means you're going to have to deal with text scaling and it's going to be very very difficult to run in a way that doesn't increase immersion in any way so i love it because it's better technology for the sake of better technology but i'm not a huge fan of the kind of graphics horsepower you're gonna need to drive this thing i think that's actually more than our triple 1440p surround setup yeah so i don't think i ever clarified the resolution that it runs at in fact oh yeah here we go 5120 by 2880 so that is twice the number of vertical pixels as a standard 27-inch monitor and twice the uh horizontal resolution in fact that's i didn't that didn't i didn't even clue into that this is this is to to 1440p what 4k is to 1080p ridiculous yeah ridiculous well someone's got to push the envelope yeah i hope it runs at 60hz based on that they needed two displayport 1.2s i suspect it will yeah all right so for speaking of 4k 4k blu-ray discs are arriving in 2015 in an attempt to fight back against streaming media this is posed by dietrich w and the original source here is from cnet and we can look at this blu-ray disc logo and um reminisce about a simpler time when optical media mattered you know i'm slowly moving away from physical games yeah dog because it's pointless and stupid you were wrong all along i actually really like hashtag get wrecked i would love to still be able to do it you're poking me in the face it's probably not a good idea i'm sick um that doesn't work that way that might have helped that's warm moist air but you know i put it on my touchpad there you go now i'm just telling you where i'm gonna put it next oh god um the only reason why is because it is uh worthless because 99 of the time it just screws up and makes you download it anyways if it actually had all of the usable data on the disk then i would still be totally down i'm just floored we never went usb why not ever i i don't know anyone who didn't think that was going to happen i thought it was yeah and they're so cheap now like they're so okay they're not as cheap as a sheet of plastic no i will give them that but i gotta wonder if someone had cared enough could a usb standard have been developed that would have allowed for much cheaper more permanent storage i gotta wonder i don't know enough about the technology to really speculate on this but i and everyone else in probably the digital you know generation world figured that you were gonna go into a store and this was back when we thought stores weren't going away so you were going to go into a store and you were either going to buy a usb drive that would contain the music album or you would go in with your music with your usb drive and you would pick the album you want you would sit and you would listen to it because you know previews on itunes who saw that coming and you would put the to put the media onto your usb drive that way i'm i'm dating myself a little bit here a little bit but i i was in the hmv they still exist i know but who cares i have one locally i i was in uh i was in the town i grew up in the other weekend i went to the bird sanctuary and i drove past a blockbuster that no no it's empty but the signage is still up because no one's taken over the location and i was like oh hey that thing i remember you i never there was that secret room in the back yeah i never used blockbuster because we didn't have one locally to me so when everyone's like oh my god it's so weird seeing blockbusters now that they're closed i'm like nope i don't care it's all about willow video for you yeah which they're still going they're still around somehow they're doing like better lately which makes no sense all right tai cha well you know what i think those non-chain types of stores probably appeal to an older audience better yeah but then also their like game sales and stuff is doing great and they still do because they do but they do console games largely right they're they're slowly moving away from pc and that's going to go away probably all right so tai chi posted on the forum intel's new 14 nanometer chips so intel has made a lot of fuss over the last little while this original article here is from bbc.com of all places bbc pretty sure there are a number of other places that reported on this that are more technology-oriented anyway um the point is that they have finally launched the core m series which goes all the way down to four and a half watt cpus based on their new 14 nanometer process node manufacturing ridiculous yeah this is amazing so intel has actually been talking a fair bit recently about how successful their move to 14 nanometer has been which is great news especially when you consider how rough it has been for a lot of other folks and how unexceptional intel's last process node migration was no we're seeing better power characteristics we're seeing better performance we're seeing all this great stuff that has improved not just in a linear manner this time around so this is exciting intel had initially aimed to launch a full-fledged desktop lineup sooner but at least they now have shipping chips that are going to be targeted at very low power and razor thin fanless tablets without uh having for without manufacturers having to resort to arm-based cpu designs so this is incredibly exciting um in much the same way that every time intel completely changes the laws of how processors work is incredibly exciting it's like that's intel's a victim of their own success in that way it's like yeah until like broke physics again whatever same as they did last year it's not necessary yeah i'm not gonna get into that anyways i was gonna say it's not necessarily breaking physics i know but they might be breaking what we conventionally thought were the laws that's what i meant i know that's why that's why i was like no one cares i'm probably like the only dude here that actually you dork anyways i like physics all right well i think that's it for me do you have um anything else uh no there was rig of the week voting is a thing yeah voting go to build logs build log section of the forum vote for rig of the like very large spans of time because we're trying to kind of catch up so there's a lot of rigs being voted on right now so weigh in and we will hopefully be blasting that on a wan show sometime soon yeah i have roped in whaler and alpenwasser to help me with buildblogs so things are actually properly happening now which are good i'm luke skywalker because that's how the force worked in the original trilogy you're like a wampa there goes your arm your big like one um not that kind of i mean that too but uh anyway moving on what were we talking about oh right i forgot squarespace um we're doing our usual hashtag thing so it's the first squarespace integration of the month so tweet your squarespace a link to your squarespace site with hashtag linusquarespace and you will have a chance to win your site hosted for free for a year nice and that will be on our next squarespace sponsorship spot where we will pick one of you and we will go ahead and we will announce a winner free website for a year guys they have a two-week trial and our next spot should be within the next couple of weeks so go ahead and create your site and then you could win your site to continue developing for a year so that's pretty cool i think that's pretty much it yeah that's that's probably it oh there was the i think it was overclockers.uk or something had uh listed a graphics card in the description it was like get ready for um half-life 3 and my phone going off is distracting me half-life 3 and gta 5 launches should i answer this and troll whoever it is sure hello hi oh hi mom you're on the show i know i need to speak to linus your your mom's on uh uh shaw home phone isn't she no i think that's her note 3. oh all right well at any rate all right all right what do we got minus the first time you took my kid out of country you stuck him at the top from the top building in the world when there was an earthquake on this trip uh yeah well actually that was western digital's idea uh linus who's in charge well um one could argue i'm gonna go with the safe answer here and say my wife ah yes okay let's go the second time you took him out of the country you stuck him on the top of a mountain where he was dizzy and throwing up not the second time yeah i think she means like the second time that stood out to her which means she was deeply concerned for your safety right okay uh what what what is it this time well the second time or what it means is you when lions is in charge and he takes you out of the country your life is in danger okay i also asked to go on that trip and now you want to take him to germany uh yes actually germany is safe heads up on how yeah gonna try to kill him in germany well the way that he would be most likely to die in germany would be from how politically incorrect can i go with this you know maybe i won't go there um so so the way the way that he would be most likely to die in germany would be probably from sensory overload from being surrounded by cherry mx key switches so it's pretty safe the odds of that happening is probably only about 50 50. okay question yes did you take life insurance on luke uh i think he has it through the yeah i think you pay your own premium because that way if you have to have it paid out it's not taxable or something yeah luke luke pays his own premium but yes he does have life insurance i believe but he i think he chooses his own beneficiary and i don't think he picked me did you oh all right then ashley get wrecked if he doesn't come back in 100 total intact person i will be coming for you all right thank you caller i think it's time to uh i think it's time to go back to the farm boards and find another caller um all right so guys thanks for tuning in uh we'll see you again next week same bat time same bat channel it'll be him and in all likelihood cold sc his brother talking about the same kind of stuff thanks again for watching we totally appreciate you guys tuning in you guys have been amazing the last few weeks we've been consistently over 5 000 live viewers on the show even if we factor out all of luke's family members who apparently watch and apparently everyone's like totally into the archive these days every archive like eighty thousand ninety thousand views you guys are making us feel like an actual legit podcast these days which is interesting which is kind of cool because i listen to a lot of different podcasts i look i look at podcasters who are much bigger than us guys like ray william johnson so his runaway thoughts podcast you can say what you want about ray william johnson's content the truth of the matter is he's a much bigger deal than us in terms of sheer numbers in every possible category he quit youtube but he's still doing i think he still does the podcast and he's still creating content okay and he didn't quit that long ago so anyway the point is we're coming up to the point now where it's not like when show gets like 120th as many views as runaway thoughts it's like smaller or bigger fractions rather so we're not there yet but but you guys are awesome thank you very much we appreciate you guys we appreciate our sponsor squarespace and dollar shave club and i've said this a few times now but we will see you next week except me i will not my brother's really into mobile stuff and a lot of this stuff recently is like next week is probably going to be way more stuff so it should be good show i'm making my own theme song it's all about the wedding and we're done no we're not done umall right guys sorry we're live and also well i'm not sorry we're live i'm sorry we're late i'm glad we're live and i'm glad we're alive i'm sorry we're talking to you today yeah i'm sorry i'm sorry about our topics you with all of that i think the sorry awesome mic's like pointing to no they're they're disappointed about the and it's really high up they're disappointed about the the the tardiness of the show but we're sorry about the good quality show we're sorry that it's so good that they have to wait for it to go live even though it's late what the hell are you talking about i'm trying to buy you time because you're apparently doing stuff we are not off to a good start today although we do have something pretty cool in store for you guys involving like hand canning and pov at all yeah yeah yeah it works i tested it already okay yeah mind you that doesn't necessarily mean it will continue to work because that's often the problem we have around here we might go a week without touching anything and come back and nothing works everything's changed which isn't what happened this time because we actually changed everything so it shouldn't be surprising that nothing works yeah but we're surprised anyway yeah welcome to the wan show guys we've got some great topics today apple's value drops by 28 billions of dollars all on account of some leaked celebrity nude photos the funniest thing about the whole thing you'll find out later because that's how this show works also nvidia starts a legal battle with samsung and qualcomm at the same time just throwing punches all over the place heavyweight battle also nvidia sorry in video i love you guys in video uh also the first round of like september's crazy mobile month has begun and we'll talk about some of those announcements later on and in other news 4chan now has a dmca takedown policy it's amazing what a couple of celebrity nude photos that get stolen and leaked not all the like child porn and other crap but celebrity nude photos i mean jennifer lawrence is upset is she is that whose photos were leaked either her or garner i can never remember i don't know the difference i don't really follow celebrities it's not aniston i know that much she's the one from friends i know i know the internet likes jennifer lawrence but i'm not i think she's the hunger games one is she yeah i think so oh yeah she's all right moving on not a show about movies so i think our volumes are both low i think the volume we can see if that helps a little all right guys we've got a couple of sponsors today dollar shave club shave time and shave money i keep i i get all the credit for this bad pun but it's like in their logo it's not my fault yeah don't they say that in their own commercials yes they do oh all right and squarespace 10 off with offer code linus make your own beautiful website on squarespace.com don't worry your website can live somewhere else entirely your website doesn't have to be on squarespace.com you don't pay them to create content for them to put on their website i mean what do you think this is like youtube okay technically we don't pay youtube directly but they certainly take their cut anyway let's move right into our first topic because we are running a little bit late and we're very sorry for that you guys you know the usual story involving technical difficulties was a lot worse than normal though yeah you will have come to be used to like three to five minutes yeah i know today was pretty bad i mean part of the problem is that we're way behind on making videos because we've been out of the office and uh it was a short week so there was a holiday monday this week so we had to effectively create an entire week's worth of videos in like three days so i was back here filming a lot of the last little bits and pieces of my upcoming htc one m8 for windows phone review it is a very good thing for htc that they released that before the flood of new products uh you know note 4 uh moto 360 new moto x before all that stuff started rolling in because otherwise i don't think it even would have gotten articles written about it um my video is pretty pretty negative i love the phone and i mean phone and in like a physical like made of molecule sense yeah yeah i love the phone the one i made is still great well you could argue software is not made of molecules it's made of thoughts and dreams ponies thoughts and trees thought streams and ponies that's fantastic minuses software tips we should just we should just get barnacles back on the show because i clearly have no idea what i'm talking about you should replace me permanently like the next time people need to do like an order form for supplies for a programming house because that exists other than energy drinks they're gonna be thoughts dreams ponies let's dream ponies they'll be like well i can't get these two but we'll definitely get a good stock opponent and like places like staples they have it set up so that you can have recurring orders so like every month you can get four ponies delivered if you want to fix your software you just need to like increase the count of thoughts streams of ponies yeah and the problems with some software is they might have too many ponies or too many thoughts and not enough dreams it's all about the ratio exactly but the only way to get dreams and ponies because you can get them both at the same time is actually to import eight-year-old girls they have dreams right about ponies that's interesting it saves you space because a six-year-old girl takes up so much less space than a pony this is something that modern software developers have not been doing very well that's why windows is so large on your uh on on your devices yeah that's right because one eight-year-old girl could potentially dream of dozens of ponies yup yup yeah all right so moving on apple's value drops by 26 billion dollars on account of the uh the celebrity nude photo leaks so share prices fell by four dollars and 36 cents per share or 4.2 percent this is the biggest decline in share price since january 28 2014 oh yeah january when it dropped by 6 19. so it's still up almost 30 since january 28th of 2014 so it's not like apple shareholders aren't still getting their money's worth out of that particular investment their value is still close to 600 billion dollars they're still the most highly valued us company in the world there's so many things that are like that though like the world series in the us love it um and i mean honestly i think the most ridiculous thing about all of this is it's all just hype yeah this is the scary thing about publicly traded companies is how much of how we value them has nothing to do with anything yes some nudie pictures were obtained illegally amorally just in a super crappy you don't steal people's stuff and i was actually really disappointed to see even on our own linus tech tips forum people discussing how well if you don't want nude pictures leaked on the internet then you just shouldn't take them and that you have loose morals if you're taking nude pictures you know what what do i have loose morals if my wife sees me naked like is that how this works obviously the picture was intended for a given recipient normally i'd like try to be devil's advocate but i just no no when something is stolen illegally that's wrong and yes online security and taking care of the naked pictures of yourself is your responsibility you do have to do that because this stuff does happen but that doesn't make stuff that's out there that isn't as well protected as something else just ripe for the taking it's still wrong and the kind of victim blaming that was going on like i'm not gonna get into the whole feminazi thing because i'm super not into that whole movement either but i also strongly disagree with the amount of victim blaming that's going on here and i mean the whole thing has gotten way too much coverage i don't even really like that we're even talking about it because i feel like by drawing attention to it you're just turning it into a much bigger deal than it is it's a couple new pictures of some women the internet is full of nude pictures of women who did it on purpose who actually got paid to create that those nude photos why does it matter if they happen to also star in movies and why are we obsessing over this and why is it such a big deal let them get on with their lives it's unreal yeah anyway the point of all that sorry go ahead sorry no uh and it wasn't even necessarily apple's fault that was exactly where i was going oh yeah uh so like the apple spent more than 40 hours of investigation which doesn't sound like a crazy that's a lot a company the size of apple the number of engineers they have oh see i when i read that i thought about that as like well two people is that's 20 hours of man hours for two people i calculated in overall man hours oh but i think you're probably right no i don't think so yeah i'm pretty sure i'm pretty sure it's probably a department for 40 hours that's a lot um anyways to and they figured out that it was more using stuff like they were targeting usernames which are probably not that hard to get in a lot of situations they're not and then using uh common password stuff and security question hacks which is like not a hack guessing it yeah guessing it or looking it up i mean that's that's the scary thing to me the way that security is handled even by companies as large as apple sometimes where they'll lock in what kind of a password you can choose or worse yet lock in the security questions you can super the only safe way to set up a security question for yourself guys if it's a predetermined list because especially for celebrities that information's out there you think someone doesn't you know what car you first bought or what elementary school you went to or what your teacher's name was like no that's not hard to find that crap is out there so the way that i actually do it is i have some security answers that have nothing to do with the question and i just pick a random question because it is extremely dangerous to just use one of those things mother's maiden name come on this is a digital age oh stupid that is very obtainable and so yeah that whole argument exists where people are responsible for their own digital security but you know what that's the kind of thing that i think nerd say quite frankly because yeah okay you're into digital security good for you like that's cool that's your hobby that's great some people have other things to do and that's fine maybe they make movies maybe they don't sit and research digital security best practices on reddit every night because they're reading through scripts to make millions of dollars and you maybe you kind of make the argument oh well then perhaps they should have a team of people who work for them who manage their digital circuit come on be real these are people not like enterprises that exist under them so i don't even remember where i was going with that but i'm just i'm driven crazy by people being upset that someone doesn't know something that they do you know what there's a lot of things that he knows that i don't and there's a lot of things i know that he doesn't yeah you know i if if he had a baby tomorrow i could either be a jackass and be like well you know you you got poop on your hands what you didn't know how to you know blind the do the things nope not at all i know jack all about taking care of babies that was actually a pretty good analogy because i literally know nothing i know i know so to me it's just it's it's so upsetting to see people mocking and see people blaming instead of actually trying to be helpful which uh mocking instead of trying to be helpful that leads us pretty well into our next topic doesn't it 4chan now has a dmca policy following the whole leaked nude photos incident this was an article on torrent freak i'm just going to go ahead and screen share here uh so basically in the wake of all this 4chan finally intros a dmca so that's digital millennium copyright act take down policy and i don't know if the more baffling thing about this is that it exists at all or that if it exists at all now it didn't exist before with the massive amounts of a leaked nude photos on there in the past of just normal people once again putting celebrities on this weird pedestal that like there's this weird double standard that exists and and two the amount of child porn oh god on 4chan i mean 4chan no offense to 4chan but it's one of those sites that i avoid just based on principle you just you just don't want someone to be able to know that you went there i won't i won't hang out there it's not even about not wanting people to know there's you know there's incognito mode in your browser you know there's sitting in a room alone at night because i'm usually up till three or four in the morning anyway i could visit 4chan if i wanted to but i would feel bad about wanting to the nsa would know yeah and then you'd show up on their google search thing anyways i don't even think this will matter at all i don't think this will change anything it won't affect anything 4chan is going to move way too fast because 4chan moves way too fast and it'll be like oh we're going to apply a dmca policy and someone's going to be like restart the thread doesn't matter at all yeah more people will just go to one of the other chans which there are many of so so there's that i'm just doesn't matter i'm just really surprised with the way that 4chan has always been like internet internet ra ra ra we can put anything literally anything on the internet which you have to you have to respect that principle even if you don't respect what it sometimes turns into often okay not always but often it's not a bad thing to stand up for no and i and i totally agree with that principle it's just it's so baffling to me that even though it won't affect anything that they had this sudden change of heart they probably had to in some way i haven't read enough into that part but they they were probably forced to in some way and then i bet you moot uh the guy that runs 4chan probably knew deep down that it just wouldn't change jackal because this is great someone's like 4chan doesn't have cp okay then um moving on um someone can serve a dmca thing for him to take it down and then he'll just be like oh well the thread 404 anyways so good work yes okay so shall we move on to oh i guess that ties pretty well into uh apple denies the icloud breach apples et cetera et cetera et cetera oh yeah right so the other other things for the icloud breach is that they uh the two-step notification thing and then two-factor authentication is interesting so the i think two-step was not enabled on that account correct i think that's how that went recommends users have two-factor authentication on any of my apple accounts i'm not sure if they support two-factor not yet recommends users to use their two-step verification if they're concerned about security but two-factor authentication will also cover icloud in the next version next revision of ios which will be later this month yeah so that's coming very soon actually there's a lot of really cool stuff coming with ios 8 i've been using ios 7 as much as i can leading up to the iphone 6 launch when i'll take a take a run at it uh with ios eight and there's a couple things i'm excited about we're finally getting swiftkey so there's that's a big one but um yeah i mean adding more security to things especially two-factor authentication which is basically a way of not just securing something with a password but also with an email or an authentication token that you have to use an app on your phone that you've authenticated separately is great it saved my hotmail account from getting hijacked back when i had my youtube account hijacked and if i had lost the hotmail account which was set up as the backup email it would have been much more difficult for me to get the youtube channel back so having two-step authentication or two-factor authentication is super super awesome and everyone should use it yep but we're also not going to blame people who don't use it nope all right motorola officially launches your new phone you want to talk about a little bit probably my new phone i'm not a hundred percent convinced yet but very highly the big problem i have with it is there's a lot of improvements and i'll get to there that's a problem well the problem i have there's a lot of improvements isn't it great how when you take things out of context they're funny sure i love how you admitted it was taken out of context though that helps me um it it's running a 2300 milliamp hour battery which is like dudes but then at the exact same time my moto my current moto x also has a teeny little battery and it's not really that that's all right doesn't it yeah it's very it's a very efficient phone it runs stock androids there isn't a whole bunch of crap running on top of it and i have always been pretty nazi about all the kind of stuff that's running on my phone i don't like extra stuff running on my phone so i don't have battery issues yeah i found one that was uh that was that was wrecking my phone battery on the one m8 um plex really yeah yeah i would uh after yeah doing nothing like boot up the phone yeah and touch nothing and then leave it there at 100 and come back at the end of the day and it's at like 20 having not touched it like brutal so i uninstalled plex and uh android kernel started using way less so instead of like through uh through task management programs i wasn't even able to narrow down which one it was because it was just hiding itself under multimedia something and then like android kernel we're both using ridiculous amounts of power so it's like plex i like you but this isn't gonna work for me with fairly heavy usage and leaving the thing on on moto x where on this like idle screen where it shows the time in the lock it'll show what notifications are coming in leaving that on which is kind of suicide but that's oled so that helps i know but still it still takes battery a little bit a little bit um i i can still get through a day and a half of fairly heavy use and this thing has a teeny battery so it's not ideal but i'm not super worried at the same time because of the experience i've had with this phone right i'm hoping that it'll still be okay on the new one if we get a loaner unit i know we're not getting a keeper unit for motorola but if we get a loaner unit do you want to do the review sure okay sure that would be cool so basically it's got a snapdragon 802 2.5 gigahertz processor this is much closer to flagship class than the original moto x was that was never intended to compete with the one m7 and the galaxy s4 at the time it was meant to be like a you know kind of step down but very practical and very nice all that but this one no this is like balls to the wall so 5.2 inch 1080p super amoled screen 2 gigs of ram 16 to 32 gigs of non-expandable memory oh front-facing speakers though yeah that's a big one pretty stoked about that and then a lot of the usual customization features so we're even getting those uh wood paneled backs which i think is super awesome the ring flash is fairly interesting now the camera it has a silver ring on this one but it's just oh you can't really see it at all it's just for aesthetic reasons on the new one there's going to be a ring around the actual camera which is its flash which looks a little bit interesting because it looks like you have like uh in some of the pictures at least it looks like you have a jewel in bed around your camera which looks like super ghetto right speaking of uh speaking of weird camera stuff the iphone 6 is rumored to have a raised camera bump as well which is so un-apple-like to compromise design for better functionality and i'm not 100 sure how i feel about it because on the one hand i do appreciate better functionality you know and i'm willing to give up a little bit of you know a bump here or you know widget there or dongle or whatever else but on the other hand apple was the one pushing the other guys who would compromise a little bit to strive for better design by never compromising on that so as much as i might not use a ton of apple products i appreciate what they've done for the industry and if they let it slip i have a feeling the samsungs and htc's and lg's of the world will just completely drop the ball we'll let it slip that much more i wasn't going to say completely drop the block i'm down with that i i don't really buy apple products there's a thread on the forum fairly recently where i talked about this i didn't even buy one of those old-school ipods i had a creative zen like i've never really been the dude that buys rca lira there you go i've never really been the dude that buys apple products at all but i've always appreciated their existence because when they got into stuff like the mp3 market either people got out of the market or stepped up their game yeah and then i will buy the products from the dudes that stepped up their game i'm i'm that dude but i still appreciate their existence because they do that so i hope they don't screw up in the absence of steve jobs so it's going to be a hundred bucks on contract or 499.99 unlocked which actually isn't that bad sure it's not that competitive with something like a one plus one but you can buy it without an invitation and also i one plus one is another one one plus you don't have to like hate the company that makes your phone i think hate is a strong word i think they're mostly misguided sure i don't think they do unpopular things on purpose i think they're legitimately trying to be liked i think at some level they just kind of don't get it whether it's a cultural barrier or just like that dude that jumps into the room and it's like yeah guys check this out everyone's like oh no it's like you know that thing you've got there is pretty cool i just wish that you hadn't gotten your armpit grease on it and kind of thing yeah yeah i mostly like you um speaking of things that i mostly like the moto 360 has finally been announced this was really this was originally posted by cyan bob on the forum speaking of which red round two posted the apple denies icloud breach 99 vw posted the other apple value drops thing and then the moto x1 was posted by dismo i got to give you guys the shout out and one thing i want to shout out to before we move on is that a lot of the articles from this week were written very well and were like pretty long and well well quoted with your own with your own interpretation of what's going on and your own thoughts and opinions and stuff that will be more important very soon yeah we'll have more details about that in a little while so the moto 360 is announced you can pre-order them they're 250 bucks u.s or 280 canadian um available in the us now canada later in the fall can be purchased from motorola's website or the google play store and from best buy this is the same moto 360 we've been talking about for a long time the main difference is now you can actually buy one and uh once again are you going smartwatch my friend i actually probably will be but then this brings in another worrisome thought which is where the moto x that i'm thinking about jumping to because i have to give my current phone back to its rightful owner um has not a huge battery even though it might be efficient i'm gonna have to run these connected all the time and that could be another strain on the battery yes it's less than you would think as someone who uses a smartwatch already i never have so i'm not really sure yeah it's it's one of those things where you could probably benchmark it but day to day it's not going to be like oh my god i have my pebble on i had to pull out my charger six times it's not that kind of a difference and the benefit is just oh man so great i would like one because i i've noticed more and more that i just leave my phone somewhere near me and i really like the screen feature where it'll tell me what notification i get because it'll buzz because i usually have it uh on vibrate because we film right um and i'll just look over and if it's not like an email or a text if it's like instagram or twitter or whatever i'm like okay i can probably leave that for a little bit yeah and check it later and it'll be fine yeah no it's fantastic and things like being able to control music yeah i i that's what i do 90 of the time that i'm interacting with my pebble when i'm not checking the time or reading a message is i'm controlling music from my pocket because and this is a this is another frustration as much as i love the way that apple moves things forward in some ways things like inline controls that work with your phone yeah apple also doesn't necessarily do all the standards all the time so uh so a lot of headsets particularly from companies like sennheiser that i really like will have these inline controls that don't work with my android phone so this is the way around it being able to leave my phone in my pocket that is cool and this has okay google support as well right yes so you will i mean aside from with the moto x you'll have support for google now from your pocket anyway yeah but i'm assuming this will be able to hear it better and if i leave my phone somewhere else yes and this will work with other phones that don't have that feature as well the thing i worry about here is battery life so anything with an always-on not e-ink or um shoot i forget mirasol or murasol display i worry very much about what the user experience is like and i would have liked to see someone pick up where qualcomm left off with the talk with that murasol display um it was much more power efficient than even amoled i mean you can see that motorola is trying here if we go back to the to the picture of the watch you can see that the stock watch face is mostly black that's the way amo led works anything that's black is actually powered off so you're going to get some power savings just by having thin white elements on an otherwise black screen i just i'm not sure if it's going to be enough i already run out of battery on my pebble from time to time and that one lasts me about four days so for something that i have to charge every night i feel like it's a bit of a hassle right i don't know this again these are these are two things that i'm extremely interested in acquiring myself and because i think they should honestly work pretty well together but uh i'm gonna need to and like the watch like i'm gonna have to wear the watch before i decide i'm gonna buy it i'm not gonna just order it online and be like it'll show up and i will like it that was one of my big problems with the talk was it just plain wasn't comfortable yeah um and this this is where when when we joke about best buy is like the amazon showroom like we actually need an amazon showroom yeah we need we need showrooms from these companies not necessarily stores um but showrooms because i'd like to go in and be like oh yeah this is pretty cool and maybe have it be like like the ncix langley kind of idea where you can order something online and get it shipped there and then pick it up well i mean you look at what guys like t-mobile are doing moving things into the 21st century where they they were doing trial devices yes super cool that would be awesome that kind of thing i'm totally down if i if i could go like new moto x and moto 360 let's do this for a week that would be great and i would know my answer for sure at the end of it yep and that would be exactly what i want the issue with that is you'll never see a program like that at launch so for the enthusiasts and early adopters the folks like us and the people watching this show that might not be that appealing because you're always going to have limited quantities of something available at launch even someone like apple where they've got iphone 6 in full-fledged full-scale mass production like weeks or even months ahead of the actual launch date you can still never make enough of them unless it's like a bad product in which case who wants to use it anyway yeah uh all right let's move on to our next topic here mozilla leaves a ton of passwords on a fairly open server twice okay so there was hold on posted by rainfall within on the forum and the original article is from hot for security take it away luke there was a freaking ton of misinformation about this so i'm gonna go through it generally and then clear up some stuff that there was misinformation about so for the second time in a month one of them was at the beginning of august and one of them was on august 27th so the first one was 76 000 email addresses and 4 000 heavily encrypted passwords not plain text passwords um and those were left publicly accessible on a server for 30 days not good and then on august 27th they found that 97 000 users also had issues who were not this isn't firefox browser users that's this is one of the big misinformation thing this isn't like i had firefox browser and my email was randomly stored on the server no these are people that were running test builds not even just the normal thing test builds of bugzilla very specific and not people that were signed up on the bugzilla forums not people that were accessing those those their their accounts in that way just actual people signed up directly for the test build of bugzilla those are the people that were affected so i saw a couple people like jumping ship off firefox in the massive browser war that that thread turned into which it should not have turned into but internet so it did um we're jumping ship off firefox because they're like oh no my email's stolen no dude only if you were a bugzzilla pre-release tester like not even just someone who used bugzilla but someone who is like developer level testing for bugzzilla anyways um and no they did not make the same mistake twice within a month and like make a mistake and then make a mistake again knowing that they made the first one that that's not what happened they discovered a mistake and then what i'm assuming is they searched for more and then discovered another one that was made previously because the second one had been open for i believe three months so they found two mistakes they didn't make two mistakes in one month they were i believe two or three months apart and like i just said i'm gonna have to assume they found the first one and then we're like oh crap and started looking around and found the second one so yeah tons of misinformation going around about that thread and then like tons of misinformation for the first about page and maybe a quarter and then all the rest of it was just this stupid browser war because it's the internet come on yeah because internet that yeah my browser takes point zero zero zero zero one seconds and it's already happening in twitch chat i use ie tor browser master race no one cares chrome is my main driver but it's heavy as hell that i'm okay i'm with you on that one i also daily drive on chris i don't but it is oh it drives me crazy they all suck let's just come together and accept it come together we need slower now more solid builds that's what we need okay uh so i have a straw poll for you guys i am not going to be here for wan show next week in the in like a span of a month you're not no i'm gonna be at the event in california that's next week that's not that event in california we have the event together in california the following week yeah i have no idea how we're gonna get content for the channel over the next couple weeks here so in a span of like four weeks i think we're doing like five events so uh we did packs um i have a secret one coming up we're doing the mod 24 nvidia thing which there will be more details about revealed tomorrow so stay tuned for that um you're going to ctia so that's the wireless industry show which will be interesting that's the first time we're doing something like that and i feel like there's one more i'm missing lots of feedback germany's coming up yep germany's germany's coming up soon actually everest was only can i talk about this i guess so germany so uh luke and i are going on a european field trip so we will be touring two very cool factories should rent a yellow bus no not in the budget a really short one at all um so we are going to be visiting the cherry factory you know the guys who make keyboard switches this is going to be courtesy of corsair and cherry and we are going to be touring the sennheiser facility as well and we are potentially going to be getting an interview opportunity with one of the co-founders of sennheiser and and um or sorry one of co-ceos excuse me and we are potentially going to get an opportunity to interview um the guy who does their product development so the guy who designed the hd8 djs for example i get too i'm sure you'll like to meet him i get to congratulate him out of one side of my mouth for how amazing they sound and then ask him why the hell there isn't at least like an aftermarket option for increasing the headband padding a little bit because after like a couple hours it starts to wear on me i'm just like oh but they sound so good i'll like take them off i'll put on something else be like ah screw it and then put them back on that's why i like my um 5.95 so much even though i recommend 555s because you can just do the rubber band hack but they just feel so comfy i could literally wear those forever yeah and the hd600s are the same they sound really great but they're open which is a bit of a problem because the volumes i like to listen to sometimes um that can be an issue because the baby is through a wall i live alone but probably three feet four feet from my desk right very close yeah um and she is a very late sleeper all right so anyway i'm not going to be here next week so i want you guys to tell me who you want luke's co-host to be some of these people aren't even options and i'm more just curious it's like a popularity contest and i just want to see who wins options uh so the options are barnacules timmy techtv edseltern and cold sc who is luke's brother all right so we'll go ahead and hold that c in number two throw those results up there while we uh while we move on to the next topic what else we got uh i was staring at the results a bunch of tablet stuff yeah lenovo launches a tablet it's 199.99 it's got a 19 by 1200 display it's got an atom processor which is very interesting to me asus was showing off some great atom-powered stuff at ces this year that it's like yeah snapdragon whatever adreno gpu cool and then there's like intel's onboard graphics which might not be that great in a notebook but you throw that stuff in a tablet it's like freaking awesome damn um it also has two gigs of ram 16 gigabytes of storage 16 gigs needs to go away now like now how does that still exist like it's one thing if you give me enough storage for all my apps and i have to put all my other crap on an sd card or even cloud storage we should hold on hold on we need a growling contest yeah i can't keep a straight face i win all right back to the uh back to the results that was probably really bad for my throat yeah probably you probably shouldn't have done that sweet i hate him on all right it has a 4 42 90 milliamp hour battery bluetooth 4.0 uh dolby whatever totally worthless but they're front facing speakers that's the important part um 8 megapixel rear camera 1.6 megapixel front camera if you're gonna put a 1.6 megapixel camera on something i would say don't bother you know the best part about that growling contest is yes we probably just peaked the whole oh we totally did i'm monitoring nice um all right there's an lte model available at a higher price and it runs android 4.4 kitkat it will also have 64-bit compatibility and i would encourage you guys if you aren't already go subscribe to tech quickie because we have a once and for all 32-bit versus 64-bit video coming out that i want you guys to watch and then i want you guys to share because more ram and windows bro yeah because it contains a lot of information that actually it doesn't contain that much information but it contains information that people need to know which is that 64-bit is not i'm not gonna spoil it for you guys all right so moving on uh looks like barnacles is out ahead although cold sc is actually not that distant a second which is good because it'll probably be cool it's already kind of a foregone conclusion i traded him a graphics card for a couple of lan show appearances so he's already pre-paid yeah yeah yeah makes sense all right so oops wrong window another tablet yes yes let's talk about that one hold on hold on original posters uh so top war gamer posted the lenovo 8 inch android tablet and rainfall within posted the mozilla story all right moving on to the toshiba one so that's top war gamer again hit us what do we got it's named the encore mini it has a seven inch 10 24 by 600 screen it is 120 uh windows 8.1 tablet though so i don't know yeah so we're talking like x86 windows 8.1 so a quad-core intel atom processor 16 gigabytes of internal storage but it does have an sd slot for expansion so there we go because we can do what we were just talking about which is you can have your os and your apps and then a whole bunch of files on your music and your videos i mean with microsd capacities up to what like 128 gigs these days like it's it's just kind of a joke to be concerned about having to store stuff on microsd especially if it's stuff like songs or movies or whatever else yeah no big deal um it uses windows 8.1 with bing which is a horrible sentence to say i don't play so bad you know it's funny i was playing around with cortana on my htc one m8 for windows review one thing that i was just kind of like you know can i just reconfigure this so that when it does do an internet search it just uses something other than bang please just anything just don't use bing um anyways there's a few drawbacks like bad viewing angles no windows button just give me anything oh no no no no no yeah but well i would do anything to search but i won't bring that sorry i'll let you finish the story that was great that should be our next song we did the rap now we can do like anything but anything but that but remixed fantastic someone says bing is literally google with the skin no it's i'm sorry but you're dumb i don't usually say that kind of stuff oh my god but it's like not wrecked oh wrecked um sorry that was that was bad um if it was if it was google with a skin i might actually use it i know right because it looks all right it does it looks good okay sorry talk about this tablet so yeah it has drawbacks because it's a hundred and twenty dollars yeah there's going to be drawbacks uh full windows isn't necessarily optimal for a seven inch screen either what the heck um and it's i don't know it's a super super super cheap tablet so it is what it is why don't we move on yeah that's pretty much it uh more exciting news is that the amd r9 295x2 is on promotional breathing which i think means basically amd codeword for it is now this price we dropped the price to something more competitive don't buy it at anything other than this price also we're like we're trying to give in video the business because nvidia tried to drop titan z down to what two grand i think to select system builders and amd's like we're going to do a thousand dollars for ours we're still half the price so uh yeah so through specific retailers for as low as a thousand bucks for a thousand bucks do you think that card makes sense i don't like crossfire sli and i especially don't like them on the same card but it is kind of interesting alrighty then interesting okay add a thousand dollars though if you're going for raw fps can you come up with a better solution he's thinking yeah no the answer is kind of no like you do have to find a spot for the radiator but at a thousand dollars what else can you buy you can pick up two 780s but those are gonna be three gigs didn't two 90s just get a price drop as well i think two yeah but 295 x2 is two fully fledged 295 x or 290xs it is not to 290s because because due to the water cooling they were able to make it a fully you could do something for the same price but not necessarily lower and not even quite okay yeah the same price but that diamond card on new egg there for 489 is um that those are two 90xs right okay but that is a dual slot card whereas a 295 x2 is a dual slot card for two gpus well we didn't we didn't have a limit for slots or like case size or anything i think i said better solution but then i said in terms of raw fps mind you um 290 290 x's particularly if you cross fire them unless you have an extremely well ventilated case could easily throttle whereas the 295 x2 won't due to the liquid cooler so in terms of raw fps it might still win and then liquid cooling these would make them better but would also massively increase the cost much more expensive so i don't think g10s would be enough i don't know go go amd um that said that's probably the most exciting thing amd did this week and they actually launched a new gpu based on a new micro architecture tonga is the least interesting thing ever i think i pretty much said that in my video i mean it's good it slots in at around the same price point as the card that it replaces that is around the same price exactly what everyone thought it would do yes it's more power efficient it has better feature support so you've got freesync as well as um hardware h.264 4k encoding and decoding and the like super weird but kind of interesting multi-monitor speaker arrangement setup thing yeah where it like automatically makes it left right center channel if you're using the internal speakers on your monitors for a massively expensive triple setup using a 285 what i read that and i was like the only big issue i have with it is that they cut the ram from three gigs to two gigs in an era where more ram is becoming more important every day and when amd themselves almost a year ago now in hawaii spent so much time talking about how important it was that 290 series had four gigs of ram compared to the competitions lower frame buffer amounts yeah so amd guys you gotta you gotta figure out your story it's your naming yeah 285 is kind of brutal like what are you doing what would you have rather they did i don't know not that they shouldn't have done that r9r7 thing in the first place yeah you know what i actually screwed it up in the video i called the r7260x the r9 260x and someone called me on it and i was just like you know what i don't care because that's dumb it should just be the 260x you know what from now on let's make a pact everything's r9 nothing is wrong we don't give the r's no there are no r's see i did that on one of my graphs and everyone freaked out nope okay well from now on that's okay should we just do it r yeah used to be yeah let's call it it should have been we'll just get like like the old code names like the r600 codename we're just gonna be like okay r260x and like gf no because i i'm okay with nvidia's it's like gtx is gaming okay so it's just gtx whatever you don't really have to say g-force anymore just like radeon so we'll go r whatever and then gtx whatever and people will just they will like it because the r stands for radeon speaking of people liking things for the number of people who complained about us running overclocked benchmarks on our gpus i think that many times several complained about us not running overclocked benchmarks goes to show you nobody's ever happy so i think what we should do is maybe go back to overclocked benchmarks but with a caveat so maybe instead of going balls to the wall on the graphics cards let's do the same thing we do on cpus where we aim for that low hanging fruit see the problem with that and the reason why we haven't done that in the past is actually because with cpu launches it's much more orchestrated we have more information from more people with graphics card launches we're in the black okay another thing though so i have no idea actually this is a new thing that i kind of decided today i was i was like chatting with ryan trout from pc per on skype and i was just like you know what i don't care about embargoes anymore we're not going to hit embargoes anymore we're going to do everything late and we're going to try it for a little bit and some people probably won't like it but there are a couple of reasons for this number one is that we're a youtube channel first and foremost and youtube actually prioritizes newer content in search results so us being a day or two or even six hours after everyone else has been beneficial for us in the past reason number two speaking of beneficial for us in the past we have launched content as much as months late what about the noctua cooler wasn't that like a year late something like that i mean the pebble the original pebble if you look for here so this is a perfect example let's screen share with linus i searched for pebble my pebble smartwatch review was months late months after everyone else did unveilings and hands-on and full reviews and yet 274 000 views i believe that's the one of the most for any original pebble review and i was way late so the way that i'm kind of looking at it is you know what maybe let's not make it about the product so much let's make it more about having great quality content making sure it's right and not staying up until four in the morning the night before to finish benchmarking something when we can just release something else that day and do it right so i don't know it's not a hundred percent it's just something i was kind of kicking around i think it also sharing it with you guys depends on what it is and when we get it because a lot of times like with the extreme edition like we got the bios for that board like the day before i had to do all the testing like that's ridiculous yeah i mean yeah that's a perfect example x99 okay got pushed up we i think mostly people know this if you've been following the rumor mill the rumors changed at some point which is often an indication that something changed um so we got a finished retail bios which in fairness to asus particularly was not very different from the previous one we had which wasn't very different from the previous one we had in fact i think the only bugs they fixed there were like if you didn't have a cpu fan installed uh the ignore cpu fan speed feature didn't work or something like that like it was minor tweaks so asus actually had their crap together reasonably well yeah but that doesn't change the fact that we got a new nvidia driver optimized for x99 i think three or four days before launch three three and that was over a weekend yeah so not very helpful yeah we got a new uh we got a new asus bios like a couple nights before the launch like it was it was very last minute and you know what no one seems to have minded that our 5960x video went up on the tuesday yep so there you go apparently we only need 11 000 more subscribers to get to a million that's pretty insane yeah people want us to discuss pewdiepie's disabling of comments so this was originally posted by onotech on the forum and i actually went ahead and i posted on facebook asking what people thought whether we should do the same thing and there was some there were some really interesting thoughts there but i'll let you kind of cover exactly what happened here original article here's from kotaku here it is one thing i want to talk about before i even get into this is i've talked about pewdiepie on the show before and about how i don't i think i've used the wrong terminology i probably said i don't like him i don't like the character he portrays in most of his videos after watching this i went through and watched like a couple other videos that he's done um like you brought up the uh what is it the fine brothers yeah youtubers react he's a lot more sane i ended up looking that up and i watched this video and stuff and like seems like a pretty smart dude no no problem with that i'm just not interested in his content so anyways uh he has decided to disable comments forever forever this has been because he is sick of seeing mainly spam people self-advertising and people trying to provoke others and all the other people responding to those things making them go to the top and making them very the the main things that people are actually looking at especially with youtube's new style of comments yeah and you know it's always been a problem new comment system old comment system as you get bigger and bigger the signal to noise ratio in the comments goes down and no offense to felix um but something about his style of content i think attracts a less sophisticated commenter yeah which is again one of the reasons why i don't like his okay go ahead with the rest of the story and then i'll talk about sort of some of my thoughts on it as well um the main issue is that most of the positive feedback or even like constructive negative feedback and welcome suggestions and all that kind of stuff are buried under all this what is essentially junk crap that gets in a lot of the videos and he has said i just want to connect with you bros which is currently that was a quote which is currently impossible essentially because it's just buried under all this stuff and you have to imagine how many comments he gets in all of his videos it's he's not gonna be able to read every single one of them i don't think he could actually read that fast at his scale don't know if it's possible like yeah he'd have to have a team of people and that's insane he could probably afford it i have a team of people and i'm like a fresher just to write comments though just well i wouldn't spend my money on that you'd have to have a whole department of people just to sit in a room and read youtube comments and like collate all the important ones and hand you a package even if i was making four million dollars a year i don't think i would spend it on that so stupid anyways so he he's decided to try and move to things like maybe direct twitter interaction twitter hashtags that he can hashtag a certain video then you can look up that hashtag to see what people think about that certain video subreddit or subreddit or something like that things that people like totalbiscuit have already been doing pewds isn't gonna watch this but if he did i would suggest that maybe it's time to not necessarily be so married to being a one-man operation and invest in something like building a community the linus techtips.com forum is awesome awesome that's why i always have the call to action too if you don't want to post on youtube post on the forum because i always read every single comment on every single video that i make that is on the forum thread for that video i read all of them hands down and so that's what i would encourage him to do because there you can actually foster the kind of attitude and the kind of community that you want i mean mostly once it reaches a certain tipping point there's only so much you can do but at least it's it's usually more refined because it takes that extra step yes and having your own community is is so much more of a powerful way to connect with people and have them connect with each other i think that's the thing that's missing in a lot of social networks is the connection between bros so to speak as opposed to between pewdiepie and all the bros so i would really encourage him to allocate some of his four million a year to someone to to build a community forum and do community management you probably get a pretty cool server probably better than ours yeah probably better than ours uh all right so oh right i wanted to give some my thoughts so i went ahead and i i posted on facebook asking people for their thoughts and i read most of what came in in the first half an hour or so and i had a lot of people saying yes it's a cesspool and i had a lot of people saying no it's not you know with some people even going as far as to say i'll unsubscribe if you disable comments which i think is ridiculous because it's not youtube is a video watching site first and a commenting on the video site like sixth there's a lot more stuff that you can do and you actually find that i watch more of total biscuits videos now that he doesn't have comments than i did in the past so it might sound weird but it just it's it's even though i wouldn't really read them that much and even though i'd only really get the top comments his videos seem less aggressive not because he's doing it but because like the the overall experience the environment yeah yeah it's totally about that and i guess that's what got me thinking so i had a lot of people saying no don't do it because you know sometimes i post questions in your comments and i actually get an answer and it really made me think and i was also on the pka podcast last night we were talking a little bit about about poison within the community and how to manage it and i kind of realized you know what our audience is pretty damn mature i was just going to say i think a big part of it is that we're not a let's play channel we're not a let's play channel we're not a we're not a you know i don't want to pick on anyone in particular but we're not like okay i'm not just not gonna pick on anyone but the point is our type of content is only really interesting to people who are somewhat technology literate which i think is going to mean you somewhat know how to use the internet which of course means we have more adblock users and all that stuff but you know if if someone was to go okay well linus what would you rather have would you rather have users that use adblock and you know that couple of pennies or whatever per view doesn't get contributed to you but they don't poison your community or would you rather have these poisonous people that are giving you a couple pennies i will take the mature community every time because at least those people i can reason with you know with the relationship we have with them over the years and maybe go okay well hey maybe you turn on adblock but would you consider buying a cool t-shirt once in a while and that's yeah we've we've found a way that at least i personally think the mass majority mass majority of our community is cool with us monetizing different things and i think one of the one of the big problems that i've seen a lot of the adblock guys talk about is they don't want to see they don't necessarily mind advertisement they don't want to see most the crap that ends up getting in their advertisement feed i don't think advertisement in general is necessarily evil it's just well yeah no because this can be okay if you have a legitimately good service at a legitimately fair price i appreciate someone taking the time to tell me about it so i think it helps that we kind of act as a filter speaking of filters and advertising we've actually got our sponsor segment coming up so first up is and i love this i love it when this happens you know what i you know why i think i'm always wearing my squarespace shirt because you always wear your squarespace okay there's i have two of them so i usually wear a squarespace shirt twice a week in between laundry cycles because they're american apparel and they're so soft and they're so nice um so there's so there's that so if other sponsors are watching this right now that's the way to get linus to pimp your crap it's that simple send them like super nice american apparel shirts and like some bamboo shirts and on fridays i'm usually like my most tired because it's been a long week it's like you know what i don't care if i'm like being a poster boy for squarespace i'm gonna put my comfy shirt on i want a comfy squarespace shirt yeah too bad i just have this like shirt that i got from pax did i tell you about how i got this no i'll tell you the the biggest like pax hack after the after the sponsor okay so squarespace if you guys aren't familiar already is the fast easy way to make your own beautiful website did i mention affordable you can save 10 by visiting squarespace.com linus and using offer code linus and it really is out of everything i've tried anyway which is a safe statement for me to make because i haven't tried to build too many websites but it is definitely the easiest way to build a website that's functional and looks great it looks good on your notebook it looks good on a desktop it looks good even on mobile and it's going to be snappy and responsive because they take care of the actual hosting of the website with a flexible plan that you can go ahead and negotiate with them according to the different tiers depending on what you need it's also incredibly scalable and you can go from three people a week or visiting my website about my cats to i'm selling pet accessories and i'm getting thousands of hits a week and people are flooding my site because you can turn squarespace into a full-fledged ecommerce site with the built-in tools it's got an easy logo designer which saves you a little bit of either hassle or expense when you're first starting up and it's just super easy to use also they happen to be awesome dudes so there we go we like squarespace we like the people who work there and we like that they support the wan show and you guys should probably like that they support the lan show too because if it wasn't for sponsors like squarespace it would be pretty hard for to do the things that we do and speaking of other sponsors dollar shave club what's dollar shave club pretty darn straight forward dollar so symbolic of money shave so symbolic of saving money and club which is sandwiches so it's all about saving money on sandwiches dollarshaveclub.com no i'm totally kidding saving money so you can buy some saving money yes dollar shave club is all about buying yourself one additional sandwich per month so you you save money by uh shaving which helps you acquire female attention which then you can buy uh stuff so that they can make you sandwiches so not only does dollar shape club hopefully help you get into a relationship we were trying you are now clean-shaven earlier in this very show we were trying to be progressive about treatment of the opposite sex and then you're gonna go and turn why are you bringing this to a sex thing it could be a girl sponsored why could a girl not buy a dollar shave cliff supplies hashtag get wrecked okay technically strictly speaking although dollar shave club does aim most of their marketing at men women get sold a lot of stupid gimmicks when it comes to shaving supplies too and maybe that's it maybe all of you guys are already signed up for dollar shave club dollarshaveflip.com but maybe you know some female friends who could benefit from you know a quad blade or even six blade executive razor you know what they call it the executive you can be a female damn it it's 2014. we have female executives exactly tell marissa meyers that she can't that she can't have an executive razor you know what i can cook pretty well all right i know there's probably some dudes in the audience that could cook so there you go guys dollar shave club ships you high quality razors and other bathroom supplies including their one wipe charlie's butt wipes for men or women as well as their aftershave and their shave butter which goes on clear so you can see what you're doing twice as important when you're shaving a particularly tender area so dollarshaveclub.com guys check it out now join the club start shaving time and shaving money okay so how to get those hilarious how to get that shirt how to get this shirt and like a whole ton of extra shirts when you go to different gaming conventions a lot of uh what they try to get you to do to get the free shirt which is not free at all is pre-order their game creator and games is not free bull crap and is not free at all and is super stupid so what you do is you go up to their booth and you pre-order everything you can so that you can get all their swag but you do it on it you're not really telling people this are you telling people this you're going to wreck the system for yourself actually they'll never catch on no it doesn't matter they're so oblivious all right do it do it tons of people and like you probably already know about this but just this is for the people that don't okay there's because there's probably people out there that don't emo polar bear says my girlfriend prefers my dollar shave club razors to her women's razors there you go guys and and dollar shave club if you're still watching you guys need to get a lady raiser going anyway um yeah so what what you do is you go up to the booth and you pre-order everything so you get all their extra little things and their swag like shirts and stuff and then you do it on amazon because amazon does not charge you until they ship so then you just go back to your computer or go on your phone or whatever go to your amazon account recent orders cancel done you get all the swag for free it took you like two extra seconds and you're done so i got all the ubisoft shirts all of them and like all the other shirts there that required a pre-order because i was just like oh i need to pre-order the game sure cool done people say you guys need to have an option to accept tips in your video descriptions um we have we have that we have our our monthly contributor thing or you can buy a t-shirt or or you can just change your amazon bookmark to one with our affiliate code we have instructions to how to do that linked in every one of our video descriptions that helps us out a lot i mean between us girls amazon affiliate revenue has become a way for me to continue expanding the team like it's turned into not just a couple bucks here and there so you guys have been amazingly supportive but i mean more is always better because as much as we just hired someone i would like to add more because i mean luke's gonna be out of the office for a week out of the next two weeks you know traveling to shows and doing show coverage and stuff like that we're gonna need i'm gonna be out for at least at least two days yeah how many three three three yeah no no i'm out for five too because i'm doing two events too how are we gonna do anything i don't know we'll figure it out but the point is i hired him because i needed help we're getting to the point where luke needs help so if you guys if you guys like encourage people you know or ask permission and then change people's browser bookmarks to amazon to ones with our affiliate code every little bit helps especially people you know who shop on amazon a lot we need to find a way that we can have it as an auto executable off a flash drive yeah there's also a browser toolbar oh actually that would be brilliant no that's that's like yeah i'm not doing that um so you're a terrible person actually that's kind of smart what if we had linus tech tips branded usb drives that basically um we sold like at a loss so people could buy usb drives from us on the cheap but that had that pre-loaded but in a very upfront way so the idea was hey you're buying this usb drive this usb drive is designed to override your amazon affiliate links when you plug it in we just give them like a a loader that loads it onto that people want a donate button on twitch why we should just put a button on twitch that links them to the store on the forum where they can become yeah we should just we should actually have just a description on our twitch page i love twitch they're my friends but they don't need half of the monthly donation yeah so but that is what i don't i don't think they're asking for a sub button yeah they're asking for a donation button so if we had like links yeah those are different a sub button is a twitch subscription because like my personal channel has a sub thing and it has a donation thing and it has a donate to child's play thing oh okay yeah speaking of which i have to do the als donation i haven't done that yet i did my ms one oh crap okay yeah i i committed 500 and then fractal's going to match it so crap i got i'll do that this weekend cool all right so let's move on to our next topic this is just this is something pretty quick but the asrock x99 xtreme 11 features 18 sata 6 gigabit per second ports this was originally posted by top picks on the forum and i think rather than talking about this a whole lot we're just going to let pictures do the talking did you see the super scary thing though yeah right there super scary um i've seen asrock motherboards with chipset fans before that don't turn on unless you enable them so i'm not sure if they have that here but one of their previous extreme 11 boards was like that the problem is that it ran so hot that you had to enable the fan on that particular model look at this though that's ridiculous two usb 3 headers just because whatever because why not should we give asrock a chance is asrock participating in our four-way motherboard ease of use shootout i think they did didn't they board for it yeah we have a board so um so let's give asrock let's give azeroth a chance to win us over because the last time i really tried to use an asrock board it was back in the like blue room days at ncx i think yep and the last time i put an asrock board in my own system was a 939 duel that was like optron 165 dual core days all right uh steam client beta update brings better streaming support overall especially to amd cards uh this was originally posted on the forum by welcome uh so you want to cover this one uh yeah there's a there's a few things actually they're also doing tweaks to stream uh steam music where it can find music inside steam directories that probably should have been there by default guys because you can kind of buy soundtracks with games and it wasn't automatically picking them up and that's super stupid but it can now which is great there's ui improvements they're reducing energy usage when it's running in the background but it just kind of generally supports they're saying in-home streaming now support in-home streaming support now available for amd cards that's a note in here i didn't know that it wasn't available before uh i think it wasn't optimized because the thing is the thing is for every encode encode and decode like combination they have to make sure it all works and with all the hardware different hardware encoders and decoders that are out there there's a lot of optimization for valve to do for what was at least at the last time i talked to him basically a one-man army team yeah yeah yeah yeah exactly there you go uh you can now stream from linux uh from a linux host to pcs now uh which is interesting you and you can uh use vce hardware encoding of direct 3d games now if you have a radeon 77 xx whatever numbers those are at the end or a r9 200 series above the 240 above 240. okay cool well that'll just keep getting better and then when we get an android steam client then everything else will be irrelevant yeah all right so this is something that uh if you've been following me for a long time then you might know about this already what the bloody heck was that magma pci something oh yeah so i did a video of this bad boy quite a while back oh come on there it is magma express box 3t thunderbolt external pci express enclosure um and i got really amped about this product because it was basically a way to install a graphics card yeah look the old intro i haven't seen that forever let's watch it hello all those effects were made yeah yeah all the sound i i barely remember the actual video sequence but all the sound effects are like permanently ingrained in my brain yeah that was like actually cutting cardboard and that the ping for the him winking is hitting a glass with a spoon because we were worried about like uh usage rights for sound effects and we didn't have any sound effects libraries okay so this bad boy lets you install graphics cards sound cards whatever else and connect all of them to a pc via thunderbolt well the unfortunate thing about this was due to amd mostly amd and nvidia as far as i could tell and their support for this technology it was not possible to install external graphics cards even though it was just a pci express 4x link over thunderbolt well now and this was originally posted by randomkid on the forum msi has taken it into their own hands to release their new gs30 shadow and gaming dock so basically it's a 13.3 inch notebook with just plain intel onboard graphics and then a an external pci express link to this box that will house an external graphics card this is the ultimate to me because for carrying around i use an ultrabook i'm not going to carry around a g750jz all the time i actually love the g750jz he's a pretty big dude great nope this notebook i actually love this notebook it's incredibly well cooled it performs really well it's done great for us on shows or like if this thing's like glitching out in the cpu usage pinned at 100 and i'm trying to like capture footage or something i know i can go to the g750 and it'll just be fine because it's basically desktop power but the problem is i'm not gonna carry that around with me all over the place unless i need that power all over the place like at a show so something like this is a great solution out and about great battery life get home plug into the dock got your peripherals got your 34 inch ultra wide monitor yeah and that desktop grade graphics performance i'm excited to punch the crap out of this thing me too yeah speaking of benching the crap out of things um totally not related to that at all but lg confirmed that they are sending us their new curved 34. lg man be excited for a video about that from him that's happening i am either going to conclude that it's the best thing ever or i'm going to conclude that it's the best thing ever for people who want a curved monitor yeah both of those conclusions will be pretty darn positive i already know this my favorite thing about lg monitors too is hashtag no bias my favorite thing about lg's monitors right now at least is that they can't um they don't currently have some way to read all of the data on the monitor and send it back so you don't have to assign like six different check marks saying that you're okay with all of your data being theirs when you pry the product yeah the monitors still don't suffer from those phone and uh smart tv issues because i really wanted to just get a g3 and be happy with that and then i was like it's kind of a cool phone yeah it's a pretty cool phone yeah yeah all right so details of the new moto g are available on motorola's site 5 inch 720p screen they're going much bigger across the across the entire lineup eight and 16 gig versions available sd card slot 16 gig plus sd card i'm kind of okay with but i really wish we'd move to 32 two front-facing speakers again go motorola is motorola turning us into motorola fanboys over here slowly yeah but they need to work on battery life my first cell phone was actually a motorola mine was i don't know what it was because it was horrible it was the cheapest thing they could get me that had a sliding front because i didn't want to flip one my um my mom is hard of hearing so a weight smartphone my first smartphone was oh no not smartphone this is my first phone what yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah what hold on hold on just calm your calm your boobies what this is the motorola v-box because my mom's hard of hearing so it wasn't so much so we all got that i feel bad so it wasn't so much about the phone call experience but more about the text and this was one of the first options available ever in fact it might have been the first with a full-fledged keyboard full qwerty keyboard like an actually a fairly good one i got pretty fast on this thing and there are no good pictures of it because like exactly how could you take a good picture of that back when this thing existed like 2 megapixels was pretty good for a digital camera but we all had them in order to talk um in order to use voice communication you actually had to use a headset beautiful not bluetooth headset mind you wired inline headset or they had this goofy stupid thing that like clipped onto the battery cover that plugged into the headset jack which wasn't very durable because apparently that reminds me of like remember remember how you trick out your game boy color it's like all those like weird attachments and the lights never had a game boy color oh did you ever i was a game gear kid no you're a game gear game gear how many how many landfills are filled with the batteries that you used for that i actually that was the game the reason why you jumped to rechargeables was what drove me to rechargeables yep that's fantastic yeah the game gear single-handedly me to return six right six double crochet double a's anyway sorry you were saying i don't remember okay i thought i was just talking about yeah no i was talking about how the uh you can attach that mic or whatever right and how you were explaining it reminded me of all the attachments and stuff you could get for stuff like game boy color right or or a game boy classic or a whole bunch of different game boys where you get like the light or the weird screen protector thing or the screen magnifier or like the grip thing and like oh my goodness or the chrome rims basically subwoofer yeah speaking of chromed rims and subwoofers this was originally posted by james 669 and dell is showing off their latest 5k monitor 4k that is so 2014 last quarter for this quarter next quarter dell will make available for the value price of 2500 a 27 inch 14.7 megapixel monitor this bad boy will not be able to be driven by displayport 1.2 in fact just to demo the thing they had a quadro 5000 running with dual displayport 1.2 output out to the dual inputs on the monitor i have to question why we need this i can imagine this as a tech demo like i can see them creating this for a trade show or something yeah well yeah it's going to go on sale it has a price yeah yeah it just feels like because we can i mean i'm already not sold on 4k because of the scaling issues in windows oh god once that gets addressed let's all go 4k but right now it is not a great experience right now i think 1440p is pretty awesome and i actually and that's one of the reasons i like lg's 34 inch ultra wide so much is that it's the same pixel pitch as a 27 inch 1440p monitor but it's 3440 by 1440 so it's a nice high resolution and it's so big this isn't that big it's only 27 inch it's very high resolution which means you're going to have to deal with text scaling and it's going to be very very difficult to run in a way that doesn't increase immersion in any way so i love it because it's better technology for the sake of better technology but i'm not a huge fan of the kind of graphics horsepower you're gonna need to drive this thing i think that's actually more than our triple 1440p surround setup yeah so i don't think i ever clarified the resolution that it runs at in fact oh yeah here we go 5120 by 2880 so that is twice the number of vertical pixels as a standard 27-inch monitor and twice the uh horizontal resolution in fact that's i didn't that didn't i didn't even clue into that this is this is to to 1440p what 4k is to 1080p ridiculous yeah ridiculous well someone's got to push the envelope yeah i hope it runs at 60hz based on that they needed two displayport 1.2s i suspect it will yeah all right so for speaking of 4k 4k blu-ray discs are arriving in 2015 in an attempt to fight back against streaming media this is posed by dietrich w and the original source here is from cnet and we can look at this blu-ray disc logo and um reminisce about a simpler time when optical media mattered you know i'm slowly moving away from physical games yeah dog because it's pointless and stupid you were wrong all along i actually really like hashtag get wrecked i would love to still be able to do it you're poking me in the face it's probably not a good idea i'm sick um that doesn't work that way that might have helped that's warm moist air but you know i put it on my touchpad there you go now i'm just telling you where i'm gonna put it next oh god um the only reason why is because it is uh worthless because 99 of the time it just screws up and makes you download it anyways if it actually had all of the usable data on the disk then i would still be totally down i'm just floored we never went usb why not ever i i don't know anyone who didn't think that was going to happen i thought it was yeah and they're so cheap now like they're so okay they're not as cheap as a sheet of plastic no i will give them that but i gotta wonder if someone had cared enough could a usb standard have been developed that would have allowed for much cheaper more permanent storage i gotta wonder i don't know enough about the technology to really speculate on this but i and everyone else in probably the digital you know generation world figured that you were gonna go into a store and this was back when we thought stores weren't going away so you were going to go into a store and you were either going to buy a usb drive that would contain the music album or you would go in with your music with your usb drive and you would pick the album you want you would sit and you would listen to it because you know previews on itunes who saw that coming and you would put the to put the media onto your usb drive that way i'm i'm dating myself a little bit here a little bit but i i was in the hmv they still exist i know but who cares i have one locally i i was in uh i was in the town i grew up in the other weekend i went to the bird sanctuary and i drove past a blockbuster that no no it's empty but the signage is still up because no one's taken over the location and i was like oh hey that thing i remember you i never there was that secret room in the back yeah i never used blockbuster because we didn't have one locally to me so when everyone's like oh my god it's so weird seeing blockbusters now that they're closed i'm like nope i don't care it's all about willow video for you yeah which they're still going they're still around somehow they're doing like better lately which makes no sense all right tai cha well you know what i think those non-chain types of stores probably appeal to an older audience better yeah but then also their like game sales and stuff is doing great and they still do because they do but they do console games largely right they're they're slowly moving away from pc and that's going to go away probably all right so tai chi posted on the forum intel's new 14 nanometer chips so intel has made a lot of fuss over the last little while this original article here is from bbc.com of all places bbc pretty sure there are a number of other places that reported on this that are more technology-oriented anyway um the point is that they have finally launched the core m series which goes all the way down to four and a half watt cpus based on their new 14 nanometer process node manufacturing ridiculous yeah this is amazing so intel has actually been talking a fair bit recently about how successful their move to 14 nanometer has been which is great news especially when you consider how rough it has been for a lot of other folks and how unexceptional intel's last process node migration was no we're seeing better power characteristics we're seeing better performance we're seeing all this great stuff that has improved not just in a linear manner this time around so this is exciting intel had initially aimed to launch a full-fledged desktop lineup sooner but at least they now have shipping chips that are going to be targeted at very low power and razor thin fanless tablets without uh having for without manufacturers having to resort to arm-based cpu designs so this is incredibly exciting um in much the same way that every time intel completely changes the laws of how processors work is incredibly exciting it's like that's intel's a victim of their own success in that way it's like yeah until like broke physics again whatever same as they did last year it's not necessary yeah i'm not gonna get into that anyways i was gonna say it's not necessarily breaking physics i know but they might be breaking what we conventionally thought were the laws that's what i meant i know that's why that's why i was like no one cares i'm probably like the only dude here that actually you dork anyways i like physics all right well i think that's it for me do you have um anything else uh no there was rig of the week voting is a thing yeah voting go to build logs build log section of the forum vote for rig of the like very large spans of time because we're trying to kind of catch up so there's a lot of rigs being voted on right now so weigh in and we will hopefully be blasting that on a wan show sometime soon yeah i have roped in whaler and alpenwasser to help me with buildblogs so things are actually properly happening now which are good i'm luke skywalker because that's how the force worked in the original trilogy you're like a wampa there goes your arm your big like one um not that kind of i mean that too but uh anyway moving on what were we talking about oh right i forgot squarespace um we're doing our usual hashtag thing so it's the first squarespace integration of the month so tweet your squarespace a link to your squarespace site with hashtag linusquarespace and you will have a chance to win your site hosted for free for a year nice and that will be on our next squarespace sponsorship spot where we will pick one of you and we will go ahead and we will announce a winner free website for a year guys they have a two-week trial and our next spot should be within the next couple of weeks so go ahead and create your site and then you could win your site to continue developing for a year so that's pretty cool i think that's pretty much it yeah that's that's probably it oh there was the i think it was overclockers.uk or something had uh listed a graphics card in the description it was like get ready for um half-life 3 and my phone going off is distracting me half-life 3 and gta 5 launches should i answer this and troll whoever it is sure hello hi oh hi mom you're on the show i know i need to speak to linus your your mom's on uh uh shaw home phone isn't she no i think that's her note 3. oh all right well at any rate all right all right what do we got minus the first time you took my kid out of country you stuck him at the top from the top building in the world when there was an earthquake on this trip uh yeah well actually that was western digital's idea uh linus who's in charge well um one could argue i'm gonna go with the safe answer here and say my wife ah yes okay let's go the second time you took him out of the country you stuck him on the top of a mountain where he was dizzy and throwing up not the second time yeah i think she means like the second time that stood out to her which means she was deeply concerned for your safety right okay uh what what what is it this time well the second time or what it means is you when lions is in charge and he takes you out of the country your life is in danger okay i also asked to go on that trip and now you want to take him to germany uh yes actually germany is safe heads up on how yeah gonna try to kill him in germany well the way that he would be most likely to die in germany would be from how politically incorrect can i go with this you know maybe i won't go there um so so the way the way that he would be most likely to die in germany would be probably from sensory overload from being surrounded by cherry mx key switches so it's pretty safe the odds of that happening is probably only about 50 50. okay question yes did you take life insurance on luke uh i think he has it through the yeah i think you pay your own premium because that way if you have to have it paid out it's not taxable or something yeah luke luke pays his own premium but yes he does have life insurance i believe but he i think he chooses his own beneficiary and i don't think he picked me did you oh all right then ashley get wrecked if he doesn't come back in 100 total intact person i will be coming for you all right thank you caller i think it's time to uh i think it's time to go back to the farm boards and find another caller um all right so guys thanks for tuning in uh we'll see you again next week same bat time same bat channel it'll be him and in all likelihood cold sc his brother talking about the same kind of stuff thanks again for watching we totally appreciate you guys tuning in you guys have been amazing the last few weeks we've been consistently over 5 000 live viewers on the show even if we factor out all of luke's family members who apparently watch and apparently everyone's like totally into the archive these days every archive like eighty thousand ninety thousand views you guys are making us feel like an actual legit podcast these days which is interesting which is kind of cool because i listen to a lot of different podcasts i look i look at podcasters who are much bigger than us guys like ray william johnson so his runaway thoughts podcast you can say what you want about ray william johnson's content the truth of the matter is he's a much bigger deal than us in terms of sheer numbers in every possible category he quit youtube but he's still doing i think he still does the podcast and he's still creating content okay and he didn't quit that long ago so anyway the point is we're coming up to the point now where it's not like when show gets like 120th as many views as runaway thoughts it's like smaller or bigger fractions rather so we're not there yet but but you guys are awesome thank you very much we appreciate you guys we appreciate our sponsor squarespace and dollar shave club and i've said this a few times now but we will see you next week except me i will not my brother's really into mobile stuff and a lot of this stuff recently is like next week is probably going to be way more stuff so it should be good show i'm making my own theme song it's all about the wedding and we're done no we're not done um\n"
