hrome KILLS Ad Blockers?! - The WAN Show Jan 25 2019 #Helpful Post

I thought we were so on time we're not

yeah we're not quite on time we're

closer than we have been for the last

like three weeks since we've been like

half an hour yes okay in my defense this

week you came from a different country I

was in France yeah for three days yeah

and I am jet-lagged as hell so I had a

brilliant idea on this trip I was like

hmm I'm flying out for France on Sunday

afternoon so like a 1 1 p.m. flight it's

about I don't know 9 and a half hour

flight or something like that it's like

9 and a half hours there 11 hours back

or something like that sure so I'm

flying out for 9 hours so that'll make

it nighttime home when I get there but

it'll be about 8 a.m. France time so I

only have one day where I have any kind

of work obligation to our sponsor so

here's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna land

in the morning see if I can get early

check-in I'm going to sleep away the

entire day I'm gonna stay up all night

and then I'm gonna pull effectively an

all-nighter

to stay up the day of France time and

then go to sleep in like the morning of

home time and then pull like another

all-nighter effectively doing two nights

of sleep over three days and stay awake

on the whole flight home and then

collapse in my bed around four hours

after my flight land so I did manage to

get as far as collapsing in my bed when

I got home but even the nine and a half

hour sleep that I got was not enough to

and while I was on this trip don't tell

our sponsor but during the keynote

I passed the crap by you across the

world

okay okay I have a few things to say the

front No

okay but I'm in the front of the next

section Oh boom there was a fair bit of

foot traffic look no one noticed Colton

propped me up oh he had his own problems

he like threw up so many times he had it

he had a bad nick McBay goal or

something I think I'm not sure what it

was I'm not actually blaming McDonald's

okay but that McBay gold didn't look

good anyway I'm not actually blaming

McDonald's but the McBay go over there

looks disgusting sorry I'm not actually

blaming McDonald's um they've been

making bagel do we have a McBaine oh no

they actually apparently test a lot of

stuff in France because French people

apparently eat a lot of McDonald's which

is I mean they're known for like they're

like haute cuisine food culture and yeah

McDonald's chez McDo apparently big deal

um anyway um where was I going with this

okay no shut up

in my defense okay the things that I was

actually there for was to livestream

during the event which we told them

wasn't going to work okay and it didn't

they were like no we're gonna have like

your own Wi-Fi and it'll be fine and I

was like that's not gonna help

but we're gonna humor you and it cut out

like five times in 20 minutes yeah and

we were like were done now and then I

was also there to participate in like a

photo challenge slash fan meetup in

Paris right I saw that part yeah and

sought stay awake for that yeah I was

okay we actually had a wonderful lunch

with some of our amazing French fans

okay actually it was it was awesome

because we were supposed to eat at the

same restaurant as everyone else but

then there weren't enough seats for our

fans so we were like well I think we're

gonna have to just peace and we're gonna

go somewhere else and one of the guys

who is gonna be a total inside joke but

I'm gonna refer to him as French Alex P

okay yeah he picked this amazing

restaurant like more French oh yes okay

okay

I'm sure Rose yeah well no cuz because

he's Canadian French that's different

than French French is it not different

it would

French he says it's different see um so

I'm gonna describe him as French Alex P

okay so anyway he picks this amazing

restaurant I have the most amazing steak

the most amazing dessert like the most

amazing bread just everything's amazing

we had an amazing lunch was awesome for

it do you have a for people in France

France France what is it where was it I

don't know okay yes sorry I'm not good

at these things um but it was awesome

cooze awesome you can never experience

it cuz I can't we just like hung out

just like bro doubt fur and shouldn't

say bro doubt we actually had a mix so

we've had gear so we hung out for like

90 minutes or something like that had a

really nice relaxing lunch then we went

over to the keynote and the other thing

okay so the other thing is the sponsor

the other sponsor obligation was that we

had a video that went up around the time

of the keynote yeah except that we had

pre-recorded that because they're super

smart like one plus and they just sent

us its honored so they just sent us the

thing ahead of time so we could record

it before we got there which is like

brilliant so while we were over there it

was supposed to be pretty chill now I

chilled out a little hard I don't think

they were expecting me to pass out in

the audience but again in my defense it

was pretty long just like he's like yeah

okay so here's the things we've like

still got to do and we got to get we got

to get you out of here man cuz you are

like not looking good like I get to this

point of tired where I actually get kind

of giddy and like I sick start to say

stuff that's like really kind of stupid

you've probably encountered it before

yeah

so I actually you know what I was

probably getting to that point when we

were talking about our restaurant

concept yeah that's I was to do certain

degree okay so that was me everyone

starts laughing at weird stuff when they

get super tired

so that was my headspace when I was

meeting the President of Honor

fortunately it was just a quick photo op

and I didn't have to try to say anything

intelligent I'd have been like okay

I know mate mobile phones great business

good idea keep doing that but do I ever

have a pitch for you okay a restaurant

where the menu is I still think it's a

game okay so you go with your friends

okay

we've actually worked out the concept

pretty well man yeah yeah I order like a

protein and a salad okay you order or

protein in like a green sure a protein

and a green sure I'll go with like a

protein and a and a soda everything's

cheap everything's like five bucks oh

yeah four dollars or something like that

totally unreasonable yeah so like you

know every once in a while your protein

it's gonna be a freakin tomahawk steak

oh yeah and then every once in a while

it's good to be a hot rod does like 50

cent pepperoni sticks to leave in the

gas station yeah you might get that

you'll probably usually get bad it's

like junk junk junk that's okay I only

spent order like for loot boxes or

something cuz maybe you'll get one

that's good you might also get four hot

rods did we make it for hot rod for like

for hot rods and a pickle but hey yeah

if you had an experience the fun was in

the excitement of opening up your loot

box to dinner yeah you know I actually

liked the concept though oh man like

beverages beverages like here's tomato

here's tomato paste and apple juice oh I

guess you should get another one then

that's a like an apple juice with Caesar

like things inside it like bacon and

celery and like pepper look that is

apparently a sales pitch hey it's fun

because you don't know what's coming

people buy these things

yeah I don't make the rules here few

people yeah and the best part is you

would totally get put out of business

oh yeah nobody would stand for that no

and then what I love about this is like

honestly I'm gonna be wildly successful

for like two months I'd be kind of

tempted to do it just to make a point

if this isn't acceptable in food if

gambling is not okay for a restaurant

then why is it okay in gaming huh just

as like a form of protest like how much

would it actually cost us if there's

John a family's there's got to be a

place where you can do pop-up

restaurants there's gonna be I mean

there used to be a Quiznos like in my

neighborhood that's just like still set

up Luke blue box for consumed which I

don't know what combination

this one's six mustards pepperoni

it's basically liquid have or it's like

a build-your-own sandwich but you have

to loot box all the ingredients I know

right so you like loot boxed your bread

and then you loot box all your meats and

your greens and your sauces I mean he

just like figure out what you get at the

end oh my goodness well yeah there's got

to be some form of place where you can

do like oh uh your your restaurant

failed I'll take over your lease for

like a few months all right

it's not permanent yeah exactly honestly

I think that I think it's even though

the subway idea oh I didn't want to tell

people about that but they don't know

okay sure sure sure

I don't want that's yeah that's all I

want to go into it with that okay okay

but like oh oh no no no no no that's not

it's not like close enough to reality

maybe on Friday wait hold on let me see

if I understand you correctly

Oh oh no no okay

okay but I mean like using the time of

that concept Oh

like the issue is how much work you

would have to do to prepare to like open

a restaurant cuz like you'd have to

actually work on the menu

you'd have to stock a kitchen of very

unconventional things that yes you would

have to work on the menu though oh just

loot boxes well yeah okay you'd have to

have an internal menu though and then

you'd have to have like a dice system

there's well there's two different ways

to do that there's the sandwich you loot

box a sandwich ingredients or whatever I

don't know maybe yeah I'm not sure which

one people wanted at LTX no no no no we

actually want lb X's food options good

to be as good as they possibly can be

yeah are we doing food trucks again um

so okay because we're gonna be at the

Vancouver Convention Center there's like

they're just like always there and it's

downtown there is gonna be food inside

the convention and I think for

influencers for creators because we have

like like a bundle that are like

interested in coming I'm so excited

yeah but for influencers we have to have

them catered by the venue but then other

than that I don't think there's any

obligation for people to buy food at the

venue which is really cool totally

different from last year yeah where

there just really weren't any options

yeah and I have a really exciting LTX

update believe it or not I have no idea

cuz I'm just generally excited for it

yes so there's a new update in the blog

that's cool okay okay okay okay okay so

just first look first look at some of

the booths that we have planned for this

year

tech experiences we're going to do a

performance versus cost test zone so

what we're gonna do is ahead of the show

we're gonna do a video on like $500

$1,000 $1,500 $2,500 $5,000 gaming

machines and we'll go wolf spec out the

best thing we can box peripherals

monitor boom here's the gaming

experience per dollar

then we're gonna load all the same games

up on them and you can actually float

around so if you were trying to decide

how much money do I want to spend to

become a member of the PC master-race

you could just kind of go oh well I want

kind of somewhere in between here and

you can go in like it may be a decision

yeah so are you guys gonna have monitor

differences there is that bundled into

the thing just like I won 40 versus 60

yes and it will affect the entire gaming

experience but that was sort of the best

bet we had for how to do it because the

thing is that even on like a $500 box if

you had $1,000 monitor with g-sync that

has really really like a really wide

variable or refresh rate window and

stuff it's gonna make it seem better

than it is yeah versus if you were

playing on the kind of monitor you would

typically have on a rig like that yeah

so we want to make sure that we're

representing every price point

completely yeah so that's amazing the

monitor you should probably have at that

price point we'll be with it that's very

um headphone testing zone so a lot of

people ask well should I get closed or

open backed and that's gonna be the main

thing here is I I think we're trying to

get a headphone brand to sponsor it so

it would all be like options from the

same brand but just to test in a crowded

environment you can still get a range of

styles active noise-cancelling versus

just passive noise isolation versus open

backed so that you can really try it out

for yourself and playing games cuz like

a lot of the time even if you go to

trade shows if you go to like a

headphone booth they don't have any it's

all music lots of people use like

audiophile headphones for gaming because

they're smart and so those smart people

can now make a more educated decision

yeah zer do lots of VR so the VR booth

is going to be something like four or

five times the size good and it's gonna

have it between a dozen and 15 headsets

that's awesome last year we had three

for reference so it's not enough no yeah

so this is gonna be way better I'd also

love to have some different experiences

lined up so that like a couple the rigs

are like it's this game you play

head-to-head with your buddy that'd be

awesome

yeah honestly I think I always forget

the name of it but it's like holo arena

or something I think it's 3 V 3 having

not able to be set up but really cool I

haven't tried that I don't remember the

name of it it's I always free I always

forget the name of it on my show I don't

know why but it's a really good game and

a vehicle experience ah VR car C car

race maybe okay so here's what we have

planned for this I'm not sure if we're

gonna end up being able to make it work

in VR actually but you're familiar with

like drone racing right yeah so those

low latency wireless camera systems that

they use for drone racing yeah there is

no real reason why you wouldn't be able

to do that on an RC car so the idea here

is that we want to build with like jumps

and everything like a 50 foot by 50 foot

course that you then get into a virtual

cockpit and like so cool drive on

oh my so everyone watching will be just

watching these little cars going around

on the track but actually you'll be

sitting and you'll be sitting in the

front and it's gonna feel so interesting

because are we doing like the actual I'd

like to I don't think we're gonna go

full-on like Oh bot Oh like racing thing

but as long as you've got like kind of a

fixed chair one of these countries I'd

love to make it work with pedals as well

and a wheel yeah like as long as you've

got a wheel pedals and at least a chair

that feels kind of like this yes going

over one of those jumps and stuff and

like ramming someone else yeah it's me

while I think it's gonna be pretty cool

so that's something that we want to do

figure out as a video ahead of time yeah

and then go from there cool um an escape

room maybe there I think there's like a

local escape room company that wants to

set up like a custom escape room

experience for us cool

BS mods TVD but they're maniacs so like

whatever it is it's gonna be like

something modding and cool

oh we're gonna bring back the workshop

concept in full force

awesome so not there's only CPU D living

um you do need to sign a waiver for that

one we're not taking responsibility I

dia but that was a much bigger hit last

year than we thought so many people

showed up with CPUs so that they could

deal it in a supervised environment I

had people talking about how they wanted

to go to the event just cuz they were

too scared of doing it on their own and

there's nothing wrong with that that

totally makes sense

the first time you've ever done it and

check this out Steve from gamers Nexus

who I guess is now outed as someone who

is coming came up with the idea of us

doing a GPU disassembly and repainting

workshop you can actually lower your

temperatures on your GPU by a pretty

significant margin which he's done a lot

of videos on and the problem is that

pretty much every GPU comes apart and

goes back together a little bit

differently and has its own intricacies

so having somewhere where you can do

this because it takes a couple hours if

you've never done it before in a

supervised environment with someone that

you trust there you know what there's

still a chance that something will go

wrong but the odds are much slimmer and

so hey if you want to if you want to

learn how if for no reason other than to

just learn how and know your hardware

better is this another bring your own

situation oh yes we should probably do

the waiver thing for anything that

people bring their own of yes duly noted

yeah PC building workshop the complete

process so we want 10 to 15 stations set

up with a teacher and a few helpers to

guide people through so we're probably

gonna lean on our community members

actually just go and show description'

volunteers we are gonna take volunteers

I'm not sure exactly how we're gonna

handle the volunteer nosov it that's

something that Colton and staff are

figuring out challenges there's actually

there's gonna be so much cool stuff and

Lt I'm like really excited I actually

went through it was on this laptop and I

did I did up oh here it is here's the

folder I did up concepts for like what I

want a bunch of the go legal way hey

we'll go away okay I did up concepts for

what I want a bunch of the booths to

look like oh you made these well it

looks so much better in tiny thumbnail

form yeah so this is this is like a

stage these are just like tables for the

booth this is like the cable management

Oh challenge yeah yeah so it's gonna be

a timed challenge I want it to look kind

of crazy kind of like this anyway so I

did up a bunch of these like sort of

mock-ups and I'm like really really

excited because we want to get away from

the sort of elementary school science

fair look yeah we had going on last year

with just standard pipe and drape for

everything

stuff is still gonna be pipe and drape

like the VR booth yeah you're in VR the

VR booth didn't even have pipe and drape

last I know so it's still getting an

upgrade don't worry but so here we go

what else we got there we go

desk setup challenge whoever can build

the sickest desk set up with the parts

we provide within the time limit wins a

prize so it's gonna be like you're gonna

have desks chairs look knickknacks and

accessories wall hangings like all kinds

of things and then you basically have to

like do your setup as aesthetic as you

can get it snap a selfie with it and

then you're entered to win a prize cool

just like just fun stuff and very cool

how blindfolded table management is

gonna be back teams of two one person

guides the other who is blindfolded and

we're gonna have a ton more stations the

case toss is going to be back and fairer

so we are going to pallet wrap the cases

so they don't get lighter over the rest

of the day ah yeah that's good idea to

get idea the ltte editing den think you

can do it better we're gonna have

stations set up with footage on them for

people to edit an LTT video within a

specific time frame participants will

win a prize and we'll have a grand prize

for whoever does it best that's cool is

it like a short version of a video cuz I

don't know can it'll probably be shorter

rich yeah house of cards slash

motherboards how high can you stack

motherboards the top people for the days

will win prizes probably motherboards

yeah

minesweeper competition will be back

props to those who spent almost the

entirety of last year trying to beat the

records we're gonna have I'm a much

expanded booth for this and even more

ridiculous prizes for those who can top

the leaderboards nice guess that

motherboard we're gonna have a wall of

painted motherboards guess a certain

number of them created one you can win a

prize games a retro console gaming area

board game lounge area so you can just

chill and stuff and of course the

Dreamhack BYOC and Dreamhack free play

displays system showcases sis partners

enthusiasts modders we're gonna have

whatever cool stuff we can get there ten

years of PCs this one is gonna be fun so

we're gonna build a state-of-the-art PC

for every year from 2009 to 2015

like kind of the Quintus

seneschal game for me here running on

each one of them no I am we're just

gonna hand of have them there for people

to check out and enjoy so we're gonna

have to hit you a pretty hard for that

stuff but that's something that we're

gonna do as a video ahead of time I was

gonna say yeah is that one view so we're

getting it'll have to be I mean look so

okay

the idea with LTX this year is that even

if it costs us a whack of money - Media

Group doesn't really do like marketing

and we don't hit up like the charity

streams that hard or any of those kind

of typical ways of giving back to the

community and so the way that I see it

here is that

LTX is sort of our chance to just go you

know what community let's just put on

like a giant party yeah so I'm sort of

past making money on it at this point

cool if we can make money on it in the

future hey great like obviously this is

I'm running a business here that's not a

bad thing I'm not gonna say no no please

no money but like this is like a sort of

like a loss leader this year the

intention is if you show up at LTX we're

gonna have done our darndest to make it

freakin awesome a crazy fun experience

you know I'm not gonna say money is no

object but there is I'm probably gonna

end up spending about a quarter million

dollars on it so like it's not gonna be

cheap let's have a lot of fun I don't

expect to get that back okay I hope to

get some of it but this is like in the

in the past years I think we we we held

back a little bit because we were trying

to we're trying to do our usual thing

and like everything sustainable if we if

we need to have a breakout year this is

probably the year to do it I think so

teaming with Dreamhack moving to a

bigger venue a bunch of creators saw it

last year and want to come back yeah

this is this is probably the time and

you know what if we kind of go well that

was crazy and like people didn't even

care that much oops and then we can

always dial it back for the next year

and do a smaller more intimate thing or

whatever like LTX and you might you

might even certain booths like maybe we

need to double the VR booth again or

maybe it needs to be half this

or whatever but we can like adjust from

there there isn't that many conventions

that I know of at least where the

convention hosts are setting up a whole

bunch of the booths usually they like to

get other people to pay them to put

booths it's because it's really

expensive yeah yeah the issue for us

though is that we we are gonna have some

partner stuff there like we've already

got some PC manufacturers that are gonna

pay to be there but it's not a lot just

real talk guys like it's not a lot it

doesn't really make a dent and it's we

don't want it to be all about that

anyway we want it to be fun for the

community first and then making money

second and Colton's like Colton's like

okay the fuel in the back that's a big

reversal reversal of direction cuz the

first two years I was like look the plan

is to make this thing sustainable and

and like you know build it build it slow

roll out Colton you have something to

say you can you can come on here and you

can come on here and say it the

microphones over here so so Colton and

staff are on point for LTX this year I'm

hyping it pretty good here so like

awesome it has to be amazing it's gonna

be sick but it will be it's gonna be

sick we're like giving it our all

like actually maybe not at all we're

giving it a lot of us a lot yeah yeah

like go big or go home like legitimately

like actually like the venue is how big

is the venue again it's like say 80,000

square feet that well that were taking

yeah yeah and we're gonna dream it yeah

we actually expanded it we actually had

initially like a this is like already

like double the size of last year and

then inline so today he's like no no we

need more we need more look on his knee

Vaughn's face when I was in that meeting

cuz just like there's another ballroom

right yeah book it well I'm not sure if

Dreamhack is down for that book it just

do it book it just do it yeah it's just

good I don't I don't I don't want it to

be like I don't want people to walk in

and feel like they didn't try that hard

you don't want to necessarily have

completely blown the bank but you don't

want there to have been compromises

yeah I mean the thing is like

I feel like people really enjoyed the

last ones but it was mostly from just

like an engaging with us as a community

perspective and I just I felt like we

can do more yeah exactly there should be

more elements to it like it's not just

an upgrade I want people's one pluses

not to be bored

yeah and that's that's a tough thing to

do when it's just like when the main

attraction is like hanging out with the

LMG crew and the floatplane crew as it

were I'm talking about looking video

like oh I loved you in this video and

their Plus Ones like what Oh voice Scott

we're in sandals what is this

so yeah it smell good did you go through

the whole thing already not yet actually

I haven't even talked about one of the

things that Luke is gonna like make over

so it looks like there's a chance and we

basically when when this guy reached out

this guy's vintage PC collection is nuts

like go check his channel out I was I

was like point is his vintage piece

inflection is insane and as soon as this

guy reached out I was like Colton you

cover this man's travel you cover this

man's transportation for collision props

to him he's like I'll bring everything

I'm gonna bring all of it everything the

guy's got like so many different pieces

and stuff like that so so just even just

looking at his channel just the

thumbnails on his channel it's like oh

wow yeah so so so basically we've just

kind of gone okay here's like thousands

of dollars worth of booth space here's

thousands of dollars worth of expense

transporting all the stuff we don't even

care just just just do it come on up

here like it we want it to be really

really community driven really

collaborative really excited um which is

really cool the CNC demo is not

confirmed yet but we might have someone

with a CNC machine at the venue to

actually see and see stuff like for

people that's cool for attendees now

that might not be free that might be

something that you have to pay 10 bucks

for a box for I need to be small or

whatever it would have to be small

things but just what right yeah if you

want something cool to get signed

because a lot of people are one

like what should I bring a piece of

paper that's kind of boring like what do

I get to get signed yeah Dreamhack indie

dev sone sized TBD but there's lots of

Vancouver based indie devs charity

silent auction so we're gonna find a

bunch of cool stuff from the warehouse

and do a like probably BC Children's

Hospital or Extra Life or something like

that where's Luke scavenger hunt it'll

be more organized this time okay creator

Meetup area so there will be a dedicated

space where creators can get into and

out of it discreetly that was a big

problem last year is like when we had a

schedule time for people to hang out be

like that's a problem it like every

swarmed on the way - yeah formed on the

way from you can't get through the door

to main stage merch impromptu events and

more to calm what a blog posts I can't

tell you guys what anger when tickets

are going on sale yet we're still

working out things like the revenue

split with Dreamhack which as you can

imagine is a little bit complicated

because we have sort of different

visions for exactly you know what it is

like we're coming together from like the

perspective of like we really want to

work together and we're gonna make this

work but like we are very different

organisations with very different goals

so there's just there's some there's

some things to figure out but like both

our team and their team are super

dedicated to just making it happen and

it could be one of those things where

after this year we might go yeah you

know what that didn't really work that

great but that's not what we want we're

trying to build this as a sustainable

thing because I really cool keep this

going

I think Dreamhack adds a lot of street

cred there are a lot of value to the

event yeah and they feel like we add a

lot of street cred and a lot of value to

the event so like and like it's it's

such a really cool combo in terms of

like mixing the pieces because there's

different there's lands that have like a

hardware focus but it's not really the

same and yeah and there's well there

isn't actually really hardware

conventions but we did that sort of but

it didn't have the other side there's

creator focused if there's also that

there's Hardware focused ones there's

blaming focus ones there's LAN party

focused ones but us plus Dreamhack kind

of bring

we hope we hope that's what we're gonna

try and do yeah and you won't lose that

hardware focus because a lot of these

events like like original paksas I

remember one of the first paksas I went

to one entire wall of the convention was

all Nvidia the whole thing they rented

out the entire wall like if Nvidia shows

up yeah the the hardware focus is like

gone so it's cool that we have another

one of those two I don't know

I'm super excited we'll LTX 2019 be

live-streamed colton we got Hyrum Wow

why don't we why don't we roll the intro

cuz we never did that sometime like over

half an hour into the street whatever

minor

I wasn't sure I never know which we can

talk about that there will be a thing

it'll be a thing okay we'll figure out

how this split is like actually super

complicated it'll be a thing we'll

figure it out okay yes there will be

some kind of live streaming option now I

can't promise that we're gonna have like

a live feed of following me the whole

time or like a live feed following

around every single creator the whole

time with like eight different you know

l TX 1 l TX 2 l TX like be realistic so

there will be there will be hopefully a

live stream of the vast majority of the

stage stuff and then I believe we are

intending to broadcast the land show

live from l TX and that one will be

available to everyone but it is probable

highly probable that things like panels

will be limited to people with a virtual

ticket similar to what's been done at

other kinds of events in the past again

we are putting a lot of money into this

and we we don't expect all of it back

but we also we don't like just putting

it in a fire for lols so don't explain

how the virtual ticket will work we

don't know that yet okay

yeah it's I mean you know we have a

really close partnership with floatplane

media so there's a strong possibility

that it'll have something to do with

floatplane yeah yeah I guess I guess

it's it's not all like in writing yet so

no so we can't get into too many details

we're gonna work it out with we're gonna

work it out with floatplane media those

guys I mean they're not like Dreamhack

we're like we really want to work with

them you know they're just kind of

they're just they're they're just

they're they're actually like always

there they're a pretty adequate video

service is that what it's pretty

adequate for no it's just adequate video

yeah we actually own the domain adequate

video service comm so I was joking to

Luke that we should further for the

people who like to who like to dig

around in the nuts and bolts of like

video players that should be like our

back-end delivery and then when you go

to like adequate video service calm it

should just redirect to something like

could you set it so it's just like a

Russian Roulette of redirection it's

there I don't know why oh oh speaking of

that we still do need to make money in

the flow plane chad is like full plane

media aren't they like an indie upstart

or something yeah honey hey head over to

join honey dot-com / Linus and start

saving today you've probably heard us

talk about honey the free browser

extension that helps you save money on

popular sites like Amazon if you heard

of Amazon before yeah I think they're

there it's kinda like a jungle like sell

books oh I thought Walt that's so funny

I was watching this thing it was like I

forget what the like 1997 like thing

about Jeff Bezos and I was like oh right

a bookstore anyway do you saw the one we

had like a door as a desk yeah yeah yeah

it's actually really good yeah I'm like

the host is like that's a bit weird

anyway as you shop on sites like Amazon

honey automatically compares the prices

of millions of sellers that carry the

item that you want

they even factor in shipping cost sales

tax and Amazon Prime status to make sure

you always get the lowest total price

and the coolest thing about honey is

that you don't have to pay for it it's

for free they get their commission from

the sellers rather than from you so head

over to honey calm / - we're gonna have

that linked below and check it out today

next up we've got private Internet

access

Internet access supports a variety of

VPN protocols and types of encryption

and authentication allowing you to get

the exact level of privacy protection

that you need

they've got apps for Windows Mac OS

Android iOS Linux and Google Chrome with

support for other platforms coming you

can connect up to five devices at a time

with a single account and their internet

kill switch will block all traffic if

the VPN becomes disconnected

unexpectedly check it out today at LNG

GG / p i-- a wham bam that was the most

like professional I think you've done a

PA a spot in a while I can dial it back

little and savage Turkey brought to you

by boho flavor I don't need this Turkey

but I'm gonna eat it Luke is dead like

an open-air warehouse you know we've got

like thousands of cubic feet of air

space here oh man savage jerky is made

of high-quality ingredients without

nitrates or preservatives with the goal

of leaving a snack that's full of flavor

and spice but that isn't bad for you

it's also handmade

what are their flavors the Moho premium

jerky is one of the Thema stin their

lineup in terms of heat but it's just

really flavorful it's got lime cilantro

garlic cumin and it helps bring out that

fantastic beef flavor you guys can use

offer code ltte to save 10% on all their

products over at Savage jerky dot-com I

still recommend the maple buffalo bacon

sure we have some right now mo-mo help

you know I thought they were getting you

like a crate or something I don't know

maybe for like LT extra someone in a

floatplane chat was like most

professional CEO 2019

heck yeah it was good should we talk

about a topic um yeah no yeah let's do

that Chrome to break ad blocker so the

original article here is from the

register right after edge decides to

switch to chromium you know isn't that

funny timing I think that's very funny

timing very unexpected Oh edge switches

to chrome and Google says you know what

chromium we're just gonna block ad

blockers you know it's just funny

because is it Google's business serving

ads online now look I don't wear a

tinfoil hat but I have to say I think

this is a very stunning coincidence

this should be your version of while so

Kyle goes to the Asian estai yeah I go

to the whitest guy basically oh so if

we're to believe Google about this oh

yeah chats blowing up go go team Firefox

if only Firefox wasn't trapped right now

right what okay I used to I had a

Firefox plushie thing you had a Firefox

hard-on so big that sometimes we

couldn't get this table to sit level

yeah like if we talked about Firefox

would be like what well from his side

though I used it but I wasn't like Oh

Firefox yeah I did like wild amounts of

testing I had some like run really

really enjoyable nights with Firefox but

the problem came down to when it would

crash so much that it was directly

negatively impacting my work yeah that's

where the lion was kind of drunk that's

when he switched to chrome was not until

like host lmg like two years in yeah and

like I I stopped doing the nightly stuff

on on computers that I did work stuff on

which was all my computers but like I

stopped doing the nightly stuff I I

brought it back I started doing the

consumer builds when I was like okay I

can't handle this anymore but for a long

time even on the nightly builds it was

wrong

on the right Oh on the night yeah no I

know knightly but I was usually on beta

yeah and what it was a long time and

like magic we aren't crash every once in

a blue moon yeah you're like I'm on the

beta one that's fine I send in my crash

report and try to be helpful and then

I'll bring everything back up it's fine

and people say quantum came up yeah

quantum came out and I like on stream

was like let's do it and switched to

quantum and was like I'm really excited

I'm coming back and then there that same

day within a couple hours of using the

browser just completely locked up and I

had lost it I was like no I can't

I wore so much stuff as browser based

these days like so here's the thing

according to Google they're doing this

for do I understand this correctly

improvements to security privacy

performance and yeah sure to enhance

user control you know what I think I

think this really does help with user

control whenever we want to improve user

control at my company we just lock out

options we just take control away so

ridiculous of their same security and

fryer enhancing our control of the user

user should have increased control over

their extension the design document says

go ahead please finish that sentence and

users should be able to determine what

information is available to an extension

and be able to control that privilege

okay so this involves to achieve these

goals they want to replace web requests

the web request API with a new one

declarative net request and the web

request API is what allows browser

extensions to intercept network requests

so they can be blocked modified or

redirected so this can cause delays in

webpage loading because Chrome has to

wait for the extension okay we're good

fair enough so in the future web

requests will only be able to read

Network requests not modify them the

declarative net request will allow

Chrome or rather extensions to decide

how to handle network requests thereby

removing the mechanism used by some ad

blockers so interestingly this isn't in

my notes so I might get it wrong so

please feel free to correct me chat if

I'm wrong here but interestingly adblock

plus which is the one

kind of plays ball with the ad servers

looks to not be affected by this change

however you know what's really

interesting so I love Google as much as

anyone whose entire livelihood is but

you know what I really don't think they

actually have their users best interests

at heart here no with all of that Thanks

okay so the sorry the yeah go ahead

biggest problem that I have with it

personally is the improved security and

privacy thing yeah I mean if you're

gonna just if you're gonna do it just be

open about it yeah that's my issue yeah

and like my problem is now people are

gonna think that having an ad blocker

reduces your security privacy when it's

like literally the other way around

because the issue here is that it's not

like I don't support organizations

getting paid through ads absolutely work

they do online hello and like I it bugs

me slightly internally when people run

adblock on the forum because all our ads

on the forum are like as clean as you

could possibly have them and it's like

actually a really good experience it's

like actually not a problem there's no

video ones they're all groomed like

everything's fine this is a P ia that we

put up

there's nothing funky going on with it

like everything so nothing there's like

promotion for like okay tech linked

videos and like l TT videos and stuff

like that's actually it don't click on

the thread no I can click on this yes

but not on a thread yeah because you're

on your admin yeah I know see what's in

so we've got like one new egg banner oh

heavens and it's and one amazon banner

at the bottom and those are all fine

so like it kind of makes me say ad when

people turn that off because we do need

to don't even do like the top one that

everyone does know a lot of people

through tough ones that are like half

your screen yeah yeah so like I totally

understand why you want it on on some

websites I know yeah ingor imager

whatever has had a lot of malicious ads

on their site and there are a lot of

malicious ads out there that have like

totally injections and like all this

other like terrible stuff or that

usually understand what you might attack

who you are

yeah like

one really good one is logging your IP

when you click on an image so that you

can be exploited later like it's just

yeah like there there are terrible

things that ads do I completely

understand why you would want an ad

blocker I do wish it was certain

websites were white listed sometimes but

like saying that your security is

improved by removing ad blockers is

asinine because there are tons of

security problems that come with

malicious ads that are all over them so

like if Google were to just say we're

doing this because a big part of our

business is serving ads online and quite

frankly we think people blocking ads

sucks then I'd be like okay fine

honestly I can kind of get behind that

this will reopen the browser wars but

anyways yeah that's a good thing yeah

but they're not doing that no I'll bet

reopens the browser Wars anyways in

other fascinating news the lawsuit

against AMD for allegedly

misrepresenting how many cores their

processor has has been allowed to

continue so those of you who remember

bulldozer port bulldozer will also

remember that each module had two

integer processors and then one shared

floating-point scheduler so basically in

a traditional sense you'd have both an

integer unit and a floating-point unit

per core but AMD was sharing their

floating-point resources between two

integer units or whatever the ratio was

bla bla bla bla bla bla bla anyway the

point is that a lot of the time the the

line between what makes an individual

core and what makes to coerce has been a

little bit blurry because in the old

days you wouldn't have things like a

shared cache between two cores but but

now you do so AMD said it was going to

share instruction fetch and decode

stages floating-point units and the

level two cache between two cores and

then bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

so someone pointed out the best to come

the company is saying its own integer

execution pipeline qualifies as a core

if only because most processor workloads

emphasize integer math so that's why

they figured having two integer unit

made it to course even though they were

sharing components that would have

traditionally and indeed have continued

to be seen as necessary for a single

processor core so there's a class-action

lawsuit that's probably not going

anywhere for being honest

where people are saying AMD mislead the

public so calling calling it and there

FX processors eight core CPUs because of

the shared resources between cores and

bulldozer modules the lawsuit alleges of

the claim was deceptive about real-world

performance the issue here is that

saying how many cores a CPU has doesn't

say anything about real-world

performance what are you gonna go

complain that an atom processor with 4

cores is deceptive about its real-world

performance no it's still an atom

processor and AMD bulldozer course to

hear crappy cores like if you read if

you looked at any benchmark ever you'd

know that although for some reason AMD

fanboys were like they had like this

amazing blind spot it looked a little

something like this

look at this 2 workloads and it's really

good at it happens like every time

though and it's so funny because they

come after me they're like oh yeah now

that rise and so you're like now you're

on the AMD D because you know and you're

worried you were I didn't tell fanboy

now you're this like no 64 it's because

the situation changed yeah there's no

such thing as being on a team or not on

a team it's a processor get the better

one who cares gets up better one uh

anyway I'm probably not going anywhere

the judge did reject Amy's request to

dismiss the lawsuit so it'll proceed but

it's not it's not going anywhere

um Facebook got caught writing fake FS

on reviews for the portal kind of silly

apparently employees recalled leaving

five star reviews on Amazon for the

portal video chat device New York Times

reporters notice reviews for being left

by people with the same names as

Facebook employees and apparently

Facebook was it Facebook employees had

not been as the Facebook says employees

had not been instructed to leave good

reviews and they are asking them to take

them down so sure

boy can they do anything right lately

it's like having you know what else

they're doing there yeah yeah messaging

integration is that what you're know oh

they're integrating Instagram whatsapp

and facebook Messenger into one

messaging service we're gonna leave them

alone good idea seems like a terrible

idea

yeah I don't think WhatsApp users are

gonna enjoy that remotely half the

reason that people are on Instagram is

cuz they don't want to hear from their

grandma on Facebook Messenger but no you

will they will be inter compatible

according to tech link I think that's

gonna really hurt Instagram yeah I think

so dude although I guess you could

probably have like non linked accounts

you know but still

oof that's not a great idea there's some

other Facebook news apparently

Zuckerberg did something terrible again

I don't remember what it is though and

it's not in here okay well I've had

enough oh there's a reminder in here for

me to read some super chats can we

please get PewDiePie on floatplane it

would be free marketing for you trust me

we'd love we'd love to

I have never even met Felix let alone

pitched him coming on floatplane so yeah

best of luck to you with that x-man

Thank You van hunter says also my

profile pic was the first PC I ever

built six to seven years ago with your

help I think I missed your first message

hunter but thank you what else we got

hunter oh hey I just wanna let you guys

know I'm going after a business

information system degree right now

because years ago you guys created a

passion in tech for me so here is 10

bucks for being awesome well thank you

Drake says wife and I are thinking of

coming up from the states to LTX but I

need a dinner recommendation to make up

for dragging her along I've seen

Stephanie's post about places to visit

but what would Linus do oh I am the

worst person to ask about like where to

go sorry oh yeah you can go to banana

leaf yeah check out that banana leaf Oh

what's uh what's that Thai place you

really like to tie by Thai that's in

sorry I'll forget it don't go to that

we're doing Richmond please there's a

really good place there's a really good

Thai place

Sallah ties really good too there okay

I'd go to banana leaf though go to

banana leaf get the if you like seafood

the abundance of seafood and Gulai sauce

or something like that I don't even like

seafood if you're ambitious amazing

you're in Richmond and you like barbecue

go to hog shack race geek birds hello I

have a new PC I'm struggling with my

recording this doesn't matter what I do

to bitrate it still gets choppy footage

ninety nine hundred K with a ten seventy

TI encoding speed yeah even even no

matter what your CPU is you can't go

like slowest yeah so just try it like

faster very I was just because it's not

working right now jumped a very fast

first and then try to dial it up from

there and see how it works

fake Dragonite says you can always count

on - to class up the show you didn't see

that

Sam says I tried shadow it has a long

way to go I can see it being useful for

cloud computing but they don't like it

for gaming just yet so that's a big your

mileage may vary thing down the street

it was great but I do think and they

acknowledge they have a lot more

infrastructure to build out Jake says at

least it'll be better than panic on

thanks literally husband yeah that's

true actually we did have we did follow

through on our ball pit commitment the

first year that was defeating tumblr con

David says hello from Nebraska yeah if

you have ever heard of it I've heard of

Nebraska the chick from Big Bang

Theory's from Nebraska okay yeah it's

just in the Americas I'll be flying out

there with the way for the for four days

first two for her last two for me

Brandon's turning our lights off also

says my wife is used to your voice uh

hassan sam says can't come to LTX but

want to support wow thank you uh Sam

thank you um

SoCo says love the show just turned 18

two hours ago happy birthday and already

having all kinds of existential crises

is this what adulthood is like oh you

ain't seen nothing yet wait till you

turn 30

yeah and I'm sure it gets worse McKell

says just wanted to say why did you open

the read for God's sake back cameras

like the value of my car please finish

that video we have a pretty expensive

car

yeah what a mean apparently our roast is

really good I actually haven't tried to

get a bunch of people tried it nice so

there's like an LT T roast that line

this hasn't tried but like everyone else

here okay so I opened the red to see

what would happen what do you people

want from me what were you really

expecting a different answer oh the best

part is because I forgot to do like a

before thermals test I have to put it

back together do a bunch of testing then

take it apart again then work on

measuring for blocks then put it back

together again probably to like test fit

then take it apart then like what

percentage chance do you think it'll

work at the end of it 40 I'm happy with

that as long as we get content out of it

at each stage along the way I think your

wife is gonna murder you if we don't uh

oh yeah we have uh we have to go to

badminton tonight don't we what time's

it start oh but we need dinner okay we

go okay bye everyone bye

that's fine yeah no not all right I am

easier if you tell me not water

oh oka

gamers have always looked for ways to be

more immersed in their games vibration

inducing bodysuits omnidirectional

treadmills headphones with pinpoint

location accurate sounds these gadgets

promise to take us deeper into the

worlds we love but there has never been

something quite like the vortex 4d

environmental simulator Wow I mean look

at this it's actually blowing air at him

like in the game so how is it Riley are

you immersed my eyes are kind of dry

okay

yeah let's talk about that

antlion audios new mod mic wireless

features low latency high recording

quality LED status indicators up to 12

hours of battery life and more check it

out at the link in the video description

so this curious device comes to us

courtesy of a company called whirlwind

FX and it's called the vortex it's

supposed to increase game or video

immersion by blowing air at your face

which may not be quite as stupid as it

sounds so to differentiate their product

from just a USB powered desk fan the air

stream actually changes in intensity and

even in temperature depending on the

audio and video playing on your PC with

the basic idea being that if you see

like a snowy scene you'll feel blustery

gusts of wind and if there's a fiery

explosion you'll feel a hot blast so uh

Riley how'd that work well so there's an

intake fan at the back air is deflected

with a plate to either pass through a

heating element inside or to avoid it

before exiting through this beautiful

front nozzle now the vortex has a

desktop app that uses what whirlwind

Effects calls the e^x algorithm to

monitor and analyze the audio waveform

which informs the intensity of the wind

blast the video meanwhile informs how

hot or cold the air will be the orange

and red in fire and explosions translate

to heat while bluish colors translate to

cold I mean that's really cool but you

didn't actually tell you does it work I

mean sort of you you should probably try

for yourself to be honest ok yeah get in

here alright I'm ready to get immersed

oh yeah get in Myrtle ok so this is what

kind of smells like electronics your

referee yeah I thought that would go

away really it smells like one of those

cheap heaters you know so this is not a

great first impression

all right I'm gonna I'm opening up my

mind okay I'm closing these earphones

and opening up my mind so this is their

demo video this is the demo video and it

works like as soon as you make something

fullscreen then the e ex algorithm will

start like okay now it's analyzed okay

so this is best-case scenario this is

best-case scenario according to the

makers of the vortex I've got to give

credit where credit is due

yeah does feel more like I am outside

right right and I watch this part watch

this part that slows down - slows down

in slow motion then it gets going again

oh oh wipeout sort of there is

definitely a legitimate difference in in

feeling yeah this should be blasting

past your heads oh yeah hugely like it's

just kind of a gentle breeze I mean a

gentle breeze is better than nothing

that's true very true in much the same

way that you know force feedback through

her controller was considered

revolutionary for gaming even though

obviously you know a slap shot feels

different from array you know it's like

it's blowing only at one side of my face

though hmm yeah yeah part of the problem

okay okay so clearly the solution is two

of them

my eyes are drying out though I've only

been here for like three minutes yeah

how does Batman fight Superman that's

stupid okay

Batman has and he's dead now he's human

yeah again it's not really picking up on

the correct intensity because yeah it

kind of relies on the movement of the

screen itself and it's just kind of

going yeah you're outside there's

probably a breeze I do hear can't try an

actual game yeah okay so I'm getting air

blown at me whoa some warm air blown at

me that lots of warmness yep I'm running

along there's some air blowing up okay

I'm standing next to fire starting in

the fire don't kill yourself getting a

little hotter do you feel like you're

actually fighting demons

he'll infested Mars the smell is kind of

distracting I mean it kind of smells

like burning I don't feel like there's a

strong connection between the airbursts

right the action on the screen and that

can almost make it feel like you you're

reminded that you're not in the game

world you're sitting at a desk with

pretending to be the doom guy you're not

actually the doom guy you know you know

my mouth I am the doom guy okay

hey that's fine man you live your life

so is this the part where you make fun

of my rocket League skills no there was

some wind Wow see that's kind of

interesting when when when the explosion

when you get your goal it's like it blew

a thing at me so watch this watch it a

little bit yeah love the vortex embrace

the vortex now it's time to really enter

the matrix states immerse yourself that

matrix reference is so so now and edgy

well what are you ready player ready

player one I'm just gonna I've actually

never played the skinny before um

yeah throw it yeah um grab that bat back

you got to go slower man go slower why

would I go slower because time moves as

fast as you do it's like a just

but there you go I can't believe I've

never played this game no the doodad is

not contributing in any meaningful way

whatsoever maybe part of it is that I'm

standing further than you were yeah it's

not mine but also you said you felt it

it's not super or hot and this is this

is consistent with what so in response

to my own question does the vortex

increase immersion well it does

something does something the first time

you watch a video or play a game there's

you're you're gonna have all whoa cool

moment or like maybe uh whoa warm breeze

moment and it's at its best when there's

a sudden change in scenery that's

accompanied by a blast of air and there

are more than one moments when it

actually works pretty well but the

issues that we found that while actually

gaming like not just watching the vortex

demo reel 2018 whirlwinds detection

engine just isn't smart enough to tell

the difference between stepping out of a

cave into the icy air and flipping on a

light switch so it mostly translates

into bursts of air being sent at your

head every time you move your view from

side to side which maybe makes a little

bit of sense there's like a little bit

of wind on my face my hair the issue is

that for every time the wind syncs up

with what's happening on screen there

are three to seventeen instances where

it doesn't like an event will occur

where you would expect to have a

corresponding blast of warm or cold air

and it's not there and then other times

you'll feel air on your face when you

shouldn't like when you're driving a car

flying an aircraft also I should hope

that you don't feel air on your face

when you're in a Starfighter because

then something is definitely wrong

because you're in space yeah so yeah for

the most part it just feels like gaming

with

like an oscillating fan that's blowing

at you from one side which can actually

cause a bit of cognitive dissonance when

the explosion is happening over on the

other side since the vortex is supposed

to make gaming more immersive I guess

one thing we haven't addressed yet is

motion sickness so the feeling of motion

sickness is apparently caused by a

mismatch between what a player is

experiencing in game and in real life so

Ansel one of our editors here gets

motion sickness from using VR normally

so we had him playing a racing game with

the vortex and his verdict it might be a

little better and then for comparison's

sake we hadn't played the game again

with a regular fan blowing at him and he

said that that was just as good bummer

looks like they probably could have

saved themselves some R&D; now for the

sake of science since the vortex

apparently uses colors to inform the

wind temperature to a certain degree we

wondered whether we could game the

system by displaying full screen solid

colors so what we did what is just bring

up a full screen you know light blue

solid color but switching between light

blue and orange didn't consistently

change the temperature instead like

before we simply got a burst of air

whenever the screen changed so air

temperature does change between hot and

cold when an actual scene is displayed

so there does seem to be some aspect of

the algorithm that informs that change

other than just color so maybe that's

whirlwind FX's actual end game to use

the vortex as a development tool to

continue to refine their sensing

technology something that does have

potential like I've done this bird

simulator thing in VR where the changing

fan blowing in front of you really

affects the way that you perceive your

rate of movement through the air but it

should be noted that that's with a

custom-built experience like there's a

whole rig that you strap yourself into

with a game that's specifically built

for it and it's unlikely that we're

gonna see

that kind of integration with mainstream

games anytime soon

so should you get this for me I'm gonna

say no not unless you've got a hundred

and twenty bucks burning a hole in your

pocket and you just desperately need

some kind of air ejection device to put

it out Riley do you have any closing

thoughts no sorry can't talk I'm too

immersed right now I'm very immersed
