**Nintendo's Decision to Discontinue NES Classic Controller Raises Concerns**

Nintendo recently announced that it will be discontinuing the NES Classic Edition, a miniature retro console preloaded with classic NES games. The move has sparked concern among gamers and industry analysts, who are questioning why Nintendo would limit its potential by discontinuing such a popular product.

The NES Classic Edition was released in 2016 to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the original NES console. It was designed to be an affordable way for fans to experience classic Nintendo games on modern hardware. Despite its limited availability, the NES Classic Edition has proven to be a commercial success, selling over 1.5 million units since its release in November 2016.

However, Nintendo's decision to discontinue the NES Classic Edition is seen as puzzling by many in the industry. The console was not intended to be an ongoing product, but rather a one-time release to capitalize on the nostalgia surrounding classic NES games. Nevertheless, due to high demand, Nintendo added extra shipments to its original plans. Despite this, the company has now decided to stop producing the console.

"I feel like it's the wrong move," said one gamer who wishes to remain anonymous. "I think if they can sell another 1.5 million units, maybe it's worth extending that production line and dedicating it to classics. It's not like Nintendo has a lot of products under its belt." This sentiment is echoed by industry analysts, who believe that Nintendo would benefit from continuing to produce the NES Classic Edition.

**Esports Scholarships Offer New Opportunities for Gamers**

In an effort to tap into the growing esports market, colleges and universities across the United States are now offering scholarships to students who participate in competitive gaming. The University of Utah is the first Power Five conference school to offer such a scholarship program, with teams competing in games like League of Legends.

Esports requires discipline and decision-making skills that are also essential for other sports and activities. Coaches and team leaders see esports as a valuable developmental tool that can help students develop important life skills, including teamwork, strategy, and time management.

University of California, Irvine is another institution that has invested heavily in its esports program, building an esports-specific arena on campus. The Big Ten Conference's television network recently began broadcasting competitions between club teams and member schools, further demonstrating the growth and legitimacy of esports as a competitive sport.

**Phone Accelerometers Can be Used to Crack Passwords**

Researchers have demonstrated that phone accelerometers can be used to crack passwords with high accuracy. By analyzing data from rotation sensors, gyroscopes, and accelerometers, researchers were able to guess four-digit pins with 70% accuracy on the first try and 100% accuracy by the fifth try.

This technology is possible because modern smartphones are equipped with sensitive sensors that can detect even slight movements of the phone. These sensors can be used to analyze a user's typing patterns, which can provide valuable information about their password choices.

Unfortunately, this technology raises concerns about security and privacy. Mobile apps and websites do not need permission to access information from these sensors, making it possible for malicious code to activate sensor-based monitoring in the background while users are browsing online. This could potentially allow hackers to crack passwords without being detected.

The implications of this technology are far-reaching, with potential consequences for individuals who use mobile devices extensively. As one user noted, "I've held out for so long, but eventually I'll have to close them down." The impact of this technology on the gaming industry and individual users will likely be significant in the coming years.

**The Evolution of Desktop Browsers**

As smartphones continue to dominate the browsing landscape, desktop browsers are struggling to keep up. Gone are the days of multiple tabs open on a single browser window; today's mobile devices make it easy to access multiple websites at once.

For some, this shift is a welcome change. "I think that's the only way to be," said one user with 50 browser tabs open at any given moment. The trend towards tabbed browsing is clear, and desktop browsers are slowly adapting to meet the changing needs of their users.

However, this shift also raises concerns about productivity and focus. With so many distractions available on mobile devices, it's easy to get sidetracked from your work or studies. As one user noted, "I think that's pretty much it; you guys we'll see you again next week, same batch time, same bat channel." Despite the challenges, it seems clear that the future of browsing is online and on-the-go.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enyeah and welcome to the wan show we uh have a great great topic for you guys today yes and a bunch of crap oh we have one great talk do we have a lot of great topics i haven't looked at the docs so i have no idea what the topics are today it's gonna be a wonderful show it will be a wonderful show i'm looking for we have amd news yes leaked specs for an upcoming amd graphics card is it vega no no um we have intel news yeah we have more amd news more rising news i mean would it be the wan show without weekly rising news i i made that joke in the fake pre-roll thing that i filmed yeah like it's 2017 and it's the lan show therefore amd news and also rgb news yes my friends behind me on my other side we've got rgb workstations all of our editors are going they're upgrading for 2017 and you know what that's getting more colors in the computer helps with color correction 10 core processors double the memory better graphics cards ddr4 rgb and tempered glass oh geez tempered glass my friend uh what else we got here oh intel rumors too we haven't we have rumors from everybody um but we'll tell you more about that later first the pre-recorded intro what up wow colton is it not his job anymore does he even have a job here anymore no well not now you just screw that up yeah actually you know what do you want to fire him or should i it's cold and you're fired wow that's uh i mean you were you were so quick on the trigger there you couldn't even you couldn't even like respond to me that you wanted to be the one to fire him you were just going straight for the fire but i still need you to do stuff so if you could like show up on monday yeah that'd be great thanks that would be swell um so yeah we actually actually you know what there is legitimately a lot of interesting news this week so i guess speaking of people who don't have to be fired james as well um yeah big big leagues big leagues big leagues oh big big league leagues big league leagues speak likely quickly be the most annoying name for us i'm gonna like start gleeking if i say that long enough remember glee king i remember the kids in my high school that would like they'd run around and be like and they'd like so weird and i'm just like wow like i have spit on me but you're the one you're the one who should feel gross amd radeon rx 500 series official presentation allegedly leaked gaming benchmarks and specs allegedly confirmed and the source here is uh well the article we have is wccf tech but i think we should just start calling them tech don't you get a kick out of like uh websites that exist based on leaking confidential information from other websites that are like we better watermark these images yeah so that other websites don't don't steal this content illegitimately like and my favorite part too cry me a river is when someone will steal like content like like say this was an accidental launch like what happened i'm not going to call out the website name but what like what happened around the 1080 ti sure like where they screw up the time zones and they're like oh no and then they pull their own article down but someone else has cached it so they take the images steal those images and then watermark them themselves that's how you get all right speaking of jacked according to the rumors polaris uh is it's gonna be called okay i have to make sure that i am only saying things that are in the league so uh they're calling it polaris refresh and uh suggesting that it's gonna be kind of polaris but jacked so they're showcasing specifications gaming performance and it looks like the series will be uh utilizing a a refreshed sort of cooling system and power configuration all cards except the radeon rx 550 we'll use dual fan cooling solutions as standard um amd the the alleged leak of the alleged slides alleges that amd also will be offering higher stable operation under load higher frequency stable operation under load with better overclocking and that they will allegedly be available on april 18th so there you have it now you know what allegedly may or may not be true so here are some alleged slides um so this if true for the rx 580 so this would be amd's flagship until vega because as much as i would love to be talking about vega right now i'm not so eight gigs of ram i guess i it looks gpdr5 looks like maybe that would be standard i'm i'm actually not sure oh no allegedly rx 580 will have both eight and four gig variants okay so that's that's same as before okay so yeah okay and it will outperform the r9 380 x which is good i guess where's the zero i don't like when they don't label graphs because like you see you see that like no no this is zero i think we're good yeah i think we're good we're good because yeah that's 50 versus 69 yeah yeah that's fair 69 always wins yep ah so here's an rx whatever that's supposed to be wow yeah great slide good job you know if you're gonna leak and steal slides you might as well take a better photo yeah get on it okay and take responsibility for your photo quality man here's the thing how are you expecting not to get caught like aren't they gonna just like look back and be like who was sitting there yeah at this time yeah i was even thinking because like you don't want to do phone confiscation at these events because that's sketchy you never want to give your phone away yeah so maybe they should give like people little boxes and they like have to put the phone in the box and it's on like a timed release and it could be like a cool souvenir box yeah like it could it could like make oh it could be a music box so no one could open it because it'd be like decorative commemorative music music boxes for their events okay that idea is is when show when showed like like copyright okay yeah which means you can use it yeah we just want how much do we ask we usually say 10 we say 10 so we want 10 of the money you'll make on giving away boxes to journalists at events yeah which isn't to say that we're going to pay you yeah 10 of the cost yeah we don't do that part that's what that sounds like but that's not what's going on yes um so there's a so all right so the 570 is apparently much faster than a 370 which is also fortunate because it's sort of been a while yes um five 560 is apparently much faster than a 360 and a 750 ti like i we we both do why are we comparing to the 750 ti i think the reason why they do this where they jump back a couple generations is because that's the upgrade cycle i don't get it but like that's just step into a radion rx with a 550. what is this gonna cost uh it doesn't say 4k home theater pc ready you know that it is not a gaming card when they start talking about the home theater and photoshop oh boy and photoshop and adobe premiere with that said like from uh my testing having just like a graphics card is legitimately way better and then stepping up to higher end graphics cards legitimately doesn't make much of a difference my like housemate sal person yeah does photo editing stuff and like has to have a gpu yeah not even super important which one it is just has to have a gpu gotta have a gpu yeah so here they're comparing two intel hd 530 graphics and the radeon r7 250. and i mean that it's it's not much of a competition so there's that i mean you know i'd be wondering if this card so i don't know pricing uh there's no leaked pricing here but i would be wondering if this card could merit a revisiting of low-end graphics cards do they suck oh my god that would actually be kind of cool because we've made okay we've made two of these linus hosted one of them i hosted another one we both agree by the way yes very much so and they're pointless i was just addressing comments on his video to be completely honest and doing it with an a newer card that's probably the closest thing to a mean comments video that we've ever done yeah pretty cool yeah like addressing mean comments except instead of most people just like reading it and then looking sad at the camera we were like get wrecked here's why you're wrong and then here are four more reasons why you're wrong also here's me putting them like this so yeah so maybe we do mean comments videos a little bit differently all right speaking of mean comments uh yeah that's actually a pretty good idea yeah it's probably it's probably worth revisiting if it's any good yeah yeah oh see aholic has ryzen 5 the 1600 x breaking lay records at 5.9 gigahertz on the crosshair 6 hero motherboard this is the same motherboard like people are upset at me for using in our video because whatever people oh people can get upset about anything so there's a cpu at the bottom of a frozen doodad and you know it's extreme overclocking i i know it's called a pot um it's extreme overclocking so there's like six people watching who are interested and for everyone else we'll move on pretty quickly here don't worry but um german overclocker roman hartung i mean i'm sure it's pronounced differently than that in german but uh pushed it to 5.9 using some g-skill ddr4 memory set to work at ddr4 3000 cost 12. bus speed of 130 megahertz liquid nitrogen all cores and threads were enabled and he ran cinebench um gpu pi gpu pi and geekbench in these four benchmarks he achieved global firsts overtaking all intel hex core processors none of which matters because you know it's funny i think everyone has gone through this maybe i mean you might be about to make me feel stupid which i wouldn't like um but i'm going to put myself out there anyway because i'm all about putting out okay didn't we did we all go through a time when we first heard of liquid nitrogen overclocking where we went i'm going to have a liquid nitrogen cooled computer one day and we start researching it nope i literally looked at it was like that's really stupid because that's going to be a consumable how old were you not that old maybe grade seven at the max so i thought that there might be some way to like use it like phase change it and like i don't know maybe you would pressurize it back down into a liquid and then you would okay something something else yeah okay so maybe but then at that point my brain would have gone way too expensive and i would never do that yeah so anyway and like super volatile and anyway liquid nitrogen is irrelevant the most you can do for actual 24 7 operation and even this is not practical is phase change so we're talking like minus 40 or so and it's like really loud and real and it's obnoxious it's bulky and it's basically like this guy and would you invite this guy into your computer room maybe maybe they would how's it going i'd like to check out your computer room may i enter straw poll 99 yes one troll that sounds very much like the old ltt intro yeah it's not that far off the porn intro terrible um what else do we have today i mean do we do we even have topics oh yeah actually this is pretty cool so the rumors that were circulating that intel was slashing prices on their cpus in advance of amd's ryzen 7 launch those turned out to be more to do with micro center being micro center and selling intel processors at a loss for no apparent reason i nor anyone outside of micro center seems to have been able to crack the the mystery as to how they're able to sell cpus at like 50 plus dollars below cost and still be in business all these years later um but if you thought for a second that intel wasn't going to respond in any way then you were definitely wrong or at least rumoredly wrong we actually don't have confirmation on this one way or the other so i can kind of say whatever i want right now intel's sky lake x so this is from techspot.com and kb lake x processors rumored to arrive earlier than initially anticipated so this is a clear direct response to ryzen 7 because both sky lake x and kb lake x are the lagging behind um sort of enterprise xeon version that then gets adapted into this this middle ground so at the entry level you've got 11 5 x 11 56 11 55 11 50 11 51 is that all of them can they just change the socket cap the pin count to something other than 11 5 something yes it's rather annoying at this point i feel like they're just toying with me they're just trying to make it hard to so that's at the low end and then the mid-range inside zero five one five five five six i think you got it right okay yeah awesome so there's that then at the very high end there's your lga 2011 3 or 2011 and previously 1366 and i think there was uh there was actually 25 something can't remember there's there's a different one there's like a and there's like knights landing and stuff i forgot how many pins that bloody thing has huge yeah anyway so so that's your server right there then they take those same server architecture chips those same the same designs and they kind of trickle them down into the the prosumer workstation like professional ish and also very very high-end enthusiast and that's going to be your 2011 3 based on your x99 chipset or like your your x something 99 chipset so what's happened is that for the last i don't know how long has it been five years ever since i think linfield so linfield launched after bloomfield if i recall correctly i feel like it's been long so the enthusiast platform got the high end back in the 1366 days so this was um yeah got the high end first i believe and then linfield 11 56 came later you thought it was five years since linfield yeah when was linfield eight oh crap why am i so old okay but linfield came after bloomfield right um anyway so i'm gonna tell the story my way regardless so then what happened after that was we went from the enthusiast platform getting the new architecture first because linfield was basically bloomfield but like crappier um because it was like dual cores and stuff and then we went from well okay they did have a quad core okay look the point is don't stress about it we went from the enthusiast getting the update first and then the mainstream getting it to the mainstream getting the new architecture first and then enthusiasts getting it later because we were waiting for the enterprise to adopt it and then we were waiting for that to trickle down to the the high end and like the workstation and the enthusiast market so was it right did i have it uh yeah okay so there was 5 000 people sitting on the twitch from that uh little thing we did but anyways um so sorry to all of those people who are there and we are um recording this actually the next day um so anyway so so what happened then was you would get mainstream processors that benefited from the even if it's just five or ten percent improvement in ipc you'd get mainstream processors that seriously outperformed much more expensive ones that were supposedly workstation or that were enthusiast class and that has remained true basically since that time so what this article means finally full circle back to this article where the rumor is that both sky lake x so that's the bigger sky lake with more course and kb lake x the fact that both of these are apparently on an accelerated timetable means that it looks like intel is trying to kind of get caught up so they're not fighting ryzen 7 with not even current generation chips because the normal cadence would have intel launching a a follow-up to kaby lake in june at computex and then launching what would finally then be uh sky lake e months later at around the pax time frame no no which is super weird so now sky lake x is moving up from sometime in q3 to june so that's around computex time frame and will apparently include six and ten core cpus support for quad channel ddr4 2667 uh memory and 44 pci elaines um i am a little confused about the what this particular hold on a second um so we're gonna get an x 299 chipset to accompany that apparently and i don't understand um what part what what these kb lake x notes mean so a kb lake x apparently is also going to be on the 2066 socket but with just four cores dual channel memory and far fewer pci e lanes well then why would you put it on that socket instead of just putting it on an 11 um normal would be if you want a box with huge amounts of ram and don't actually care about compute speed yeah but if you only have two channels you wouldn't be able to do that what was it actually so what does this even what does this even mean two channels yeah huh this is like the only benefit of the higher end platform is more course more pcie lanes and more memory channels so if you took all that stuff off then you'd be dumb um well i don't know it's a rumor so the fact that it makes no sense whatsoever um might be fine might be fine and apparently they'll lack an integrated gpu so that's one difference but uh stay tuned so there's that okay so here's another rumor yeah this one i hadn't even heard of new intel kb like g kb like g g edition uh the original article here is from tech power up what g you know like because that's what it's not what rappers do they like hug themselves yeah just like you know yo um so rumored intel kb lake g series modular multi-die hbm2 and this is a big question mark here and you can't see it because it's cut off amd graphics intellectual property whoa can you imagine that can you imagine an intel cpu with amd graphics on board okay if this happens we have to make a system with this processor and an nvidia graphics card just for pure lulls yeah so we could have all three married for the first time ever since i did my intel cpu sli and crossfire system nothing was epic that thing was stupid epic so stupid hey you should go back to that and use um unraid to have an sli and crossfire system properly running both on the same box no sli or crossfire and virtualization yet but if they get it working that would be sick i guarantee you it will happen because then you could be like optimal situation for whichever game you want to run i actually have a new unraid plan one that i don't think you've heard about yet um we'll get back to kblake g and i'm talking about it on okay it's all good yeah actually you know i'll tell you about it after after kb lake g um it i think you're gonna like it i think you're gonna be like yeah that's pretty cool so katy lake g uh the company has already played with such a design before with its clarkdale family of processors uh so this would be like a heterogeneous modular approach to the cpu that allows them to integrate external graphics solutions like uh that could be produced in other factories then they could just like fit them on the package so instead of having it on die so uh back to back to clarkdale if i recall correctly had the cpu course and then like the igpu and they were both on the same package but they didn't share a die so they didn't have to be actually manufactured at the same time so this would allow them to put them together on the package and potentially like mix and match them so they could save die space on their 10 nanometer dies for actual course increase yields and potentially you know work with a potential partner like amd on putting very different graphics technology on the package with the cpu now one of the things that's been speculated and i'm not the only one who is who has brought this up is that this is part of the reason that amd split into amd and radeon technology group okay because if intel had to put amd radeon graphics on their box that would be a big no-no but if they do radio integra but if it was radeon technologies group uh that's probably fine graphics i think that might be quite a bit more palatable yeah and then radon technology group graphics which is also worked with amd that's right which is fine which is fine yeah and it could be owned by amd but like there's there's so much of that where like the the distinction between um you know lexus and toyota is is purely in name but that doesn't change that there's a consumer perception and that other brands have to be aware of a different consumer perception that's towards radeon technologies group and amd right interesting yeah um so anyway back to that unraid project um i'm planning to do the like the best streaming pc and you know how every streamer that's worth their salt is running two boxes right rude uh yes it's it it goes back and forth a little bit but a lot of the like bigger time ones do yep because it's just it's more flexible in a lot of ways yes it increases cost but by the time you've got you know a box and you upgrade your machine you kind of go oh well down now that's my streaming box i can see how it's a natural upgrade path that many streamers would go through as they grow their following and are starting to invest more into what they're doing so i think with virtualization i could run my two boxes in one box okay with enough processing course that i could do x264 cpu software encoding on one of them with a separate monitor keyboard mouse like battle station command station style yeah and uh without giving up gaming performance on the main gaming box that'd be pretty cool so that's the goal uh have you thought about a hackintosh and windows pc in one pc build um yes but it's uh it's a sensitive topic you know working with unraid around hackintosh where they're like oh we don't want to touch that with a 10 foot pole so they're not going to support me on it and um yeah it's it's such a great area i mean it's not even gray it's illegal is it yeah because you have not paid for the software because the software is provided with the purchase of a macintosh but you used to be able to buy the software you i don't believe you can anymore okay but you used to be able to then i think it was more gray okay yeah that makes sense um actually speaking of apple news we've got something that we missed last week and we will get to that as soon as we are done with our sponsor spots i fix it i fix it you fix it i'm making a new jingle for i fix it no one knows what's going on we're going to do a shanty song and maybe we'll go a little faster now talking about i fix them i'm sorry for subjecting everyone to that i'm gonna go get it okay thank you that was fun so ifixit is your one-stop shop for diy electronics repair they've got over 19 000 free step-by-step repair guides and a huge inventory of replacement parts and tools with lifetime warranty and they've got many many different products this one is our personal favorite this is the pro-tec tool kit it's got 64 different bits it's got an electrostat electrostatic um it's got an esd strap it's got um you know spudgers and pokers and prying tools and guitar picks and esd safe tweezers and the butter knife and it's got all this great stuff and i'm not going to say that that you can do this i'm not going to say that it's approved to do this or any of that kind of stuff but now twice this exact kit well okay this exact type of kit one with pella's name on it one with my name on it don't do it i know no no we can't advertise that as a feature it's pretty cool because all the tools are under the restricted length which is the thing he took this through the airport yep i mean here give me this i didn't even get through the airport with my screwdriver once yeah was it too long look at this thing yeah i mean they really didn't like this one even though it's not sharp even though it's not sharp you guys can see that uh because it looks like a little teeny knife so what i did was i was like what could i see it for a second after you play then all kinds of stuff the guy handed to me and i was like it's fine and like started stabbing myself with it and i was like it's not a knife it's for getting between components and then started like just talking way too much about like computer repair and like what all the different things do and stuff and then they were just like shut up go away a little bit and like they didn't like these either because they're basically little spears those are that that's dangerous yeah um so they took them away and they brought them to like a measuring device and stuff and they were under a certain length and if they're under a certain length it then becomes instead of it being a hard and fast rule it becomes discretion of the agents and they were like okay i think you're good just like don't do anything with it and don't like pull it out on the plane and i was like 100 percent yeah unless united's trying to drag you off the plane then maybe you could defend yourself a little bit with it get away from me um oh geez so meanwhile they've they've confiscated like what was your four of my spyderco ladybugs which are like this yeah yeah yeah of course brilliant freaking brilliant um anyway that that was not an official thing but it's it's not at all it's happened twice not even a thing no no uh but basically um yeah you can go buy an ifixit kit today and not travel on the plane with it put it in your checked and if you use offer code wan show at ifixit.com slash linus then you can save five bucks on a purchase of ten dollars or more terrible speaking of things that are not terrible freshbooks freshbooks is super easy to use it's the invoicing and accounting tool that lets freelancers and small business owners stay organized manage their time better and well ultimately make more money because when you spend your time working on a client's job whether it's a computer or painting a house or or plumbing or electrical work or whatever whatever building bird feeders who cares whatever it is that you do when you spend your time on that instead of mucking around with accounting software you're going to be happier your clients are going to be happier your business is going to grow and that is what life is all about because capitalism and you can possibly even get more clients because they'll spend less time digging around on computer software exactly you can scale better and your life gets to be less stressful because when you don't have people breathing down your neck about why something isn't done or you know where you're where your bill is or whatever not that anyone reads down your neck about where the bill is but you don't have to spend time breathing down their necks because they have a system built in where you can check and see if they've opened it or not yeah you can send your invoice in like 30 seconds and then you actually can know if they looked at it yeah and they'll be like oh yeah sorry i know i haven't paid for little sally's dance classes but uh i didn't see it can you send me another copy no i will not send you another copy you got it you saw it pay up and that's the fresh books yeah sally's mom so visit freshbooks.com when and get a free trial today for where you can where you can try it and then uh enter wan show in the how you heard about us section they also have a mobile card reader so you can even take payment directly through freshbooks nice um what else do we got here oh this is like i read the future read the future read the past i participated in the past and influenced the future um apparently microsoft seems to think that variable refresh rate is coming to a tv near you so this would be uh technology like g-sync and free sync so the idea being that well okay you guys probably know what variable refresh rate is but basically project scorpio apparently supports freesync with microsoft working with tv manufacturers to try and push them to support it as well the latest hdmi 2.1 specification also supports variable refresh rate so there you have it apple announces a completely rethought mac pro there are some great quotes in here uh i don't actually have that in uh in my notes here but man there's like some great quotes so it didn't work out the the expansion didn't work out as well as we thought it would didn't they never expand well no you could expand using thunderbolt too oh i thought you meant like expansion of the yeah okay never mind i was just like really you thought it would work out like immediately like nobody had apple clued into this but like immediately remember that picture that someone posted of 36 thunderbolt devices plugged into a mac pro it's like really you thought this was a good idea why how and they're like yeah it was hard to upgrade it was hard to keep it honestly i don't think it was that hard to keep it current i think what was hard was justifying the expense of re-engineering the motherboard for newer standards re-engineering the uh gpus for newer products and justifying that cost based on how few of the things you were selling that's what happened especially when you could just make a tower which is what everyone wants anyway apple's complaining about thermal constraints no they mean refreshing that product no i know but like like if you someone posted a picture comparing the old tower systems to the trashcan systems and there's the like objectively better trashcan systems selling for the same amount as the old tower systems oh like on ebay and stuff yeah because people just want the old power systems anyway but apple's complaining they couldn't refresh it because of thermal constraints and i'm looking at that going gpus have gotten way more efficient so there's that sort of cpu and cpus well at that class xeon class okay they're the same yeah because you could go up to whatever was the highest end like i think it was eight core back then that was a big deal um yeah that no no no this had everything to do with not wanting to reinvest back into it but either way basically phil schiller said apple wants to architect it so we can keep it fresh with regular improvements creating a mac pro modular system they're also apparently making a high-end i think it's called pci express they're also making a high-end display to go with it i will be happy to see a return to apple displays because they've done a great job of that yeah they have um although there's way more competition now that's true like way more and honestly this is like apple pulling down their pants and taking a big dump on partners like lg who have worked on exclusive like mac only products like the 5k ultra fine which by the way is fixed now i don't know if you were on the lan show where we heard about putting a router too close to it glitching it out yeah yeah they're fixed now i don't know if i was i don't know if i was on that one show but i heard about our unit is fixed that's that's good um oh yeah video to come very soon uh you won't see anything this year but in the meantime they're actually releasing a slightly upgraded mac pro so the 3 000 quad core with dual fire pro d300 has morphed into a six core with dual d500s still three thousand dollars uh both models have 16 gigs of ram neither has usb type-c or thunderbolt 3. 16 gigabytes so this was basically a price drop on like some pre-existing some existing tech flow plane right do you want to cover a topic while i get uh well i get it fired up so we can show you guys some of the crazy stuff on flow plane right now it's crazy should i should i cover the video that's coming out tomorrow um or just what is that wait for that video to happen let's wait for that video to happen okay there's gonna be a big floatplane related video um tomorrow or not or not we're getting a look from ed it's filmed oh okay yeah yeah i don't i don't know um it doesn't happen it's cool do you want to do something else then uh yeah so scrapyard wars prison edition not really an actual thing don't worry about what are you talking about um inmates in ohio were in this system where they were disassembling it it was like a a work system within the prison i don't know what they're properly called but the the idea was that they would disassemble pcs as like a job and inmates in the ohio prison built computers from the pcs that they were supposed to be dismantling for recycling the unsupervised inmates later hid these pcs in the ceiling of a training room and it's i don't think it's actually uh in here but they networked them together investigators found software pornography and articles about making drugs and explosives on the machines they were caught when i t staff flagged unusual levels of internet activity on a contractor's account which like that's sort of epic they built computers into the ceiling a rogue pc on the network was connected to port 16. wow um wow okay so they don't they don't do white listing they don't do that kind of stuff he just he just plugged it in one of the inmates who set it up described how he had used components from other pcs he plugged the machine into an internet connection device in the prison and bam i'm on the network he told investigators ban indeed that that idea you guys just like oh bam where was this that's one thing i'm interested in where was this switch i don't know that he just plugged into i don't know man here here's all the components for some computers and apparently like cables and stuff we're gonna not supervise you and leave exposed switches brilliant freaking brilliant yeah um so i'm ready to talk about what's on float plane this week uh channel super fun go karting berkel with drunk goggles oh jeez versus dennis with not drunk goggles wow i sort of still think burkel might win brooklyn's ridiculously good at go-karts and like specifically that track he's done a lot so like the fact that he has drunk goggles but did you win they're gonna have to work no no no yeah yeah no spoilers but i did almost throw up like had the drive so he almost threw up and he was dry-heaving that's worth watching it right there but it's but it's all in the name of your craft right yeah it's all in the name of fun all in the name of fun uh we've got a tech quickie on laser projectors oh that's pretty cool how the math those work we've got the much anticipated red weapon unboxing that has already generated um 167 replies wow which on floatplane is like actually a lot check out that speed you see how fast that started playing i did i oh okay good oh god i get so much anxiety every single time you do anything with flow playing on the stream it looks good and it's working though yeah looks looks crisp af man see see these buffer chunks coming in that is how it works uh do you have the load balancing stuff going on right now or no i don't think so okay cool well anyway look at that look at that look at that scrubbing here you use a saw isn't that beautiful is that a saw well that's awesome i don't know man i'm just i'm just i got it i got to be me man um do for the memes yeah it's all for the means you opened up a red weapon with a weapon oh my god that's right i get it so red weapon uh the ryzen 5 review was simultaneous release because of the embargo um msi gt83 vr titan laptop uh we've got uh warranty sticker removal guide just went up oh yeah oh oh this honest answer is what's up with the thumbnails that is a real how many replies are on that one uh 251. yeah this one actually i think is getting pushed another week due to the horizon five embargo so that's going to be on flow plane for that will be on that that's a really good video um and then the last one that i'm super stoked on our smallest most compact desk pc yet so that's actually really really small we need like a pop can for scale or something banana banana for scale um so yeah float plane float plane club is going great in case you guys were wondering and there's going to be a huge update on the ltt channel and i guess we'll also upload it to float plane soon um soon tm yeah all right hoping tomorrow but it might not happen i don't know the original article here is from end gadget this is terrible uber uber's hell program tracked and targeted lyft drivers apparently it ran for two years two years they called it hell so they placed fake lyft rider accounts around cities in order to map the distribution of lyft drivers as each rider can see up to eight nearby drivers monitoring the lyft driver's habits uber noticed that some drivers were double-apping driving for lyft and uber so i actually got picked up by an uber driver that had a lift sticker on the back of his car uber then sent more rides and offered incentives to those drivers to keep them too busy to drive for lyft wow the program was discontinued after uber paid tens of millions per week in bonuses oh my goodness so basically the idea was if you signed up for a lyft account you just made more money from uber that's ridiculous unbelievable and they're kind of uh nintendo this is um the original article is from rs technica and i love their headline nintendo hates money discontinues the nest classic did we ever get one no so that's ridiculously difficult to buy it's officially limited edition now yeah ignoring continued demand nintendo will stop producing the system this month this is probably more to do with nintendo making far more manufacturing switches like they might actually maybe they're off the same line like maybe they're converting the line to produce more switches maybe there is a reason um but that is kind of a bummer they sold 1.5 million units from its november 11th launch until new year's so to put that in perspective wii u sold 14 million in its lifetime our representative said that the nes classic wasn't intended to be an ongoing long-term product however due to high demand we did add extra shipments to our original plans the nest classic controller will also be discontinued i feel like it's the wrong move i feel like nintendo because like if they can sell like i feel like it doesn't matter because it's nintendo but i feel like if they can sell another 1.5 million units maybe it's worth like extending that building a little bit adding another line and just dedicating it to classics you know it's not like nintendo has a lot of products yeah exactly i mean unless you count like amiibos and like trash like that i mean like actual entertainment systems yeah and the accessories for the entertainment systems are often built by third parties exactly officially licensed by nintendo exactly so like ah um it's nintendo and they will always succeed it's just it just seems like a very silly thing to do all right what else we got here american colleges to offer scholarships to play video games so the original article here is from bloomberg ray and it's making its way onto my screen slowly but surely um at least it was trying to it's not trying anymore the growth of esports has colleges and universities developing teams to compete as prizes are growing and sponsors are taking notice and i you know it's uh far be it from universities and colleges to uh to not notice money to be made off of students that they don't have to pay yeah um coaches say that esports requires the same discipline and decision making as other activities and all those same life skills go into gaming this is a developmental tool some of the teams practice 20 hours a week on top of studying game film and team building projects and about 20 to 30 matches or tournaments are played annually university of utah is the first school in the power five the five richest athletic conferences in college sports to offer scholarships for video gaming the team will start off playing league of legends university of california irving irvine irvine irvine recently built an esports specific arena on its campus and the big ten conference's television network earlier this year began broadcasting competitions between club teams and its member schools wow it's really happening it is really happening phone accelerometers this was originally posted by techcrunch oh man researchers demonstrate how pins and other info can be gathered through phone movement holy so researchers were able to successfully guess your pins based on movement of the phone you know what that's really impressive that's crazy even just the thought that like hey you notice how people's hands move in similar ways when they go to type like that's so they analyze the data from rotation sensors gyroscopes and accelerometers and they were able to crack four digit pins with 70 accuracy on the first try and 100 accuracy by the fifth try i wonder i would love to like make a video about this meet these guys and then find how they're doing it because like if you try to do it one-handed like yeah that's actually probably pretty easy but if you lay it down and then use one of those like pens with the tips on it yeah and lightly press the buttons is that enough of an impact like i mean like they are sensitive yeah they are like if you ever just like fired it up so you can see the raw data from the sensors and like moved like they're they're very sensitive they're really sensitive it would be that would i would find that very interesting unlike your camera and gps mobile apps and websites don't need to ask permission to access information from these sensors so a site accessed with malicious code via your mobile browser could activate sensor-based monitoring in the background when browser tabs are left open crazy hey and if you're like me with 50 browser tabs open at any given moment then on your mobile device this is a yeah seriously oh i just don't close them the unfortunate thing about that is that means that will be me eventually because i held out i do you remember do you remember desktop browser tabs when we first started working together i couldn't even handle it i maxed out at like five now whoa i think i've like before i just reformatted but like before that i think had like eight or nine windows of chrome open all with lots of tabs that's the only way to be man it's the only way to be yeah and you know what the other only way to be is done the land show yeah so i think that's pretty much it you guys we'll see you again next week same batch time same bat channel that was clear\n"
