nboxing a SURPRISE Gaming PC from Digital Storm #Helpful Post

ou said you were gonna say click and

then you were get alright so this is

gonna be fun today now okay I lied a

little bit yeah yeah apparently I'm

still tuned into the stream from when

she last Friday and one of my many many

tabs okay so I lied a little bit this is

not a surprise in the sense that like we

didn't know that this computer was

coming we did know that digital storm

was sending us a machine but because

they actually sponsored this video they

got such a love hug from the last video

that we did where we were unboxing their

event to max which I know I still owe

you guys the review of but trust me it's

gonna be worth the wait we've got this

whole like cinematic intro planned where

I like roll up in a supercar or like a

rolls or something and then like my

Butler has my PC ready for me because

it's like a ten thousand dollar computer

anyway so they sponsored this video

because they wanted to demonstrate

something that I was actually surprised

to find out because a lot of people got

the impression on that other video the

digital storm only makes like mad

computers for lads who are mad and have

way too much money like more money than

sense they just they burn it for fun

just to like annoy their friends who are

poppers and they don't so this right

here is actually a brand new system from

them called the Lynx and it starts at

eight hundred US dollars now some

there's goes my chapstick wow that

really note for a rip they're going

around the corner there so uh I'm gonna

pretend to open this plastic see that

cuz Anthony actually already opened it

up so we could load some games on it and

stuff because I figured hey why don't we

find out what you can get from digital

storm for eight hundred bucks now

this is not secret shopper digital storm

ow well I'm gonna yeah I'm gonna have to

go report that to the Safety Committee

that's actually a thing even though you

know what I I don't think I do I can't

if I can't find it I'm pretty sure it's

not a thing so this isn't secret shopper

digital storm knew exactly who they were

sending this to so that means that you

know they could have potentially put a

little extra splash of cable management

here and there and all that kind of

stuff

but I'd actually love to hear from you

guys in the comments on this video if

you've ever bought a digital storm

machine do you think that your

experience was on par with what we're

unboxing today because that really tells

us the entire story now I think that's

pretty much everything that I had

prepped for myself other than the

product page so that I can have a look

at the different configurations that are

available but I can at least comment on

the shipping materials these are really

nice I love this type of foam this is

that super stiff but like also squishy

closed cell foam this is pretty much the

best thing that you can ship a system in

oh this one is so much less heavy than

the Aventa max I am absolutely thrilled

right now moving that thing around on my

own was not a good time let's go through

our accessory box here one of the things

about the boutique builders versus the

tier ones that I really like is that

while they don't give you the actual

retail boxes of the components that they

use they usually do at least give you

because a lot of the time like here so

we can already figure out that this

system has an R MX series power supply

from Corsair so there is no reason that

you wouldn't be able to take advantage

of Corsairs full I believe it's a is it

a three year or a five year warranty on

this particular series there's no reason

you wouldn't be able to take advantage

of that so having the packaging is

actually pretty nice because if you've

ever had to RMA just the power supply

then

you could potentially need that but at

least they do provide you with the

accessories and that's something that

you often don't get with like Tier one

systems as like oh I'm need to put in a

bunch of hard drives or if you start

with a pre-built system which a lot of

people do and then you go DIY in the

future

well maybe you find yourself in a

situation where you want to carry

forward the power supply from your

pre-built into like your new DIY rig

that's in a bigger case or whatever and

you want to put eight or twelve hard

drives in it it's nice to have all those

modular cables that would have

originally come with your power supply

in the future what else we got here so

we've got their RGB controller this is

something something plus fan controller

is this fans only one way to find out

got some cable ties those also came with

the power supply we've got a nice little

recovery USB that's a nice thing to

include not because I would necessarily

use a recovery USB but because I can

just have a free USB Drive I treat them

this like sort of disposable these days

not disposable in that I throw them away

disposable in that I often lose them so

it's nice to just have a supply of them

lying around we apparently got an MSI

graphics card and blah blah blah blah ok

this is adorable

lucky the dragon computer workshop

they're really going all in on this

dragon first make sure you have

installed in video geforce experience oh

lucky we don't need GeForce experience

it's highly optional alright let's take

a look at the machine

interesting not too many guys do like a

double layer of wrapping material

usually they do either that kind of

cloth II feeling paper or they do a

plastic cover again I'd like to know in

the comments if they like double wrap

everything so they're still doing

customized chassis even on their lower

end stuff that's actually pretty nice to

see although I believe this is hey

Anthony do you recognize the the bear

the bass case here I actually don't

either

fun fact a lot of the time so I looked

into this back when I was working at

NCIX a lot of the time what you'll see

is that a customized case only has a

couple of pieces that are customized you

can actually save a lot of money it

costs anywhere from half a million to a

million dollars to do the full tooling

including like plastic molding and all

that kind of crazy stuff for a

completely ground-up chassis whereas if

you go to you know someone like a comp

you case that's just an example I don't

think that digital storm was probably

using comp you case here but if you go

to someone like a comp you case and you

go oh yeah like these metal internals

look good I just want a custom bezel

then that's a lot easier to do and it's

a lot cheaper so that's what you'll see

a lot of the time is on a customized

chassis from someone like a system

integrator where they don't have the

kind of volume of sales that someone

who's dedicated to selling cases has

you'll see them customized just a couple

of small pieces so that they can still

get like they're nice branding on there

this is probably RGB I would guess but

they don't have to necessarily spend a

million dollars tempered-glass side

panel it's nice to see I'm so glad that

this has made its way down into I

wouldn't necessarily call you know eight

hundred dollars like mainstream like

it's not a you know $2.99 special at

Best Buy or whatever

but it's down into sort of what I would

consider to be the entry level for

decent gaming systems because acrylic

panels look great in pictures and they

look great out of the box but whoopsie

daisies but beyond that they get all

scratched up they attract fingerprints

and dust they attract hair like that

honestly that's the biggest problem that

I have with acrylic side panels because

if you could just keep them completely

clear you wouldn't have an issue but you

can't because they end up like

statically charged so just any dust or

hair floating around in the room just

get sucked on to them it's horrible all

right let's critique their cable

management here and I'm not going easy

on them just because this is a sponsored

video there's a couple of things so

there's a few things that are good

everything in here is nice and tight

it's routed out of the way I have a

feeling I actually haven't looked at it

from the other side yet but I have a

feeling it's gonna look pretty darn good

they've done a good job of utilizing

these these hold downs here to keep

things from kind of drifting out in

front of these holes so you're not going

to be able to see them through the gaps

from the other side one thing that can

be a concern actually we ran into this

again this is from back from my NCIX PC

building experience is if you strap

everything down too tight you can run

into cables coming out during shipping

now one thing did get a little jostled

during shipping here and that's this

empty hard drive cage but I'm not gonna

take any marks off for that because the

way that these are designed to stay in

is when the drive is inserted in them

they wouldn't be able to flex in like

this but when it's not it's easy for it

to kind of come loose and just any any

bump from the courier could easily have

made that happen but anyway so back to

back to things being overly tightened

what we'd run into is like you know one

of our tax would go and put you know one

two three four five six you know seven

cable ties onto something like this and

it would end up being so tight that it

would like pull the power connector out

of the hard drive next to it or

something like that and it doesn't

appear as though they've put any strain

here they've also left a courtesy

connector for both SATA power and SATA

this is a really nice thing to see

because if you it's one of the most

common upgrades is just adding a little

bit more storage to your system so it's

nice to make that easy a one thing I'm

not a fan of is this digital storm

that's one thing I think you guys could

do a little bit better in your efforts

to make everything nice and tightly

bound you have kinked actually what

appears to be the front audio USB 3 and

USB 3 can be quite a sensitive cable

especially USB 3.1 now these are 3.0

realistically this is probably fine I'm

going to plug something into it but

that's not something that I would have

personally done um everything else here

actually looks like really clean looking

really good

all right I'm 750 X that's not bad I

actually don't know exactly what

configuration all the links we have so

we're gonna find that out once we go

ahead and fire it up so this is one

other a relatively affordable

customization that you can do on an

off-the-shelf case I wonder if someone

in the youtube comments has actually

told me already

which chassis this is based off of we

don't - we actually don't do any case

reviews around here anymore so I'll like

run into a case and I'm like oh yeah

this is this is cool and it's like yeah

it's been up for like a year

ok I know alright that's clean that's

clean that's looking good again ok so

I'm I'm gonna check I'm gonna check I'm

gonna check the comments on the stream

now because I have a hard time believing

that they put this many cable ties in

every one of their systems they've got a

couple here keeping the extra 2 pin in

place as well as the extra loop from the

8 pin to the 6 pin or the sorry the 6 +

2 pin I personally do like this approach

especially if you get it nice and tight

like this otherwise you end up with kind

of this weird loop and there's a lot of

different ways that people cable

management manage them I do like this

approach they've got another one here

they've got one here grabbing the power

and it looks like the that might be an

RGB connector for the the pump

block combo unit here they've got

another one going back there yep more

cable ties on the fan over here so this

is plugged in here but then it's cable

tied here and here in order to keep the

wire back here now I have to confess

that was something that I always used to

cheap out on on my builds my technique

for plugging in the rear fan was to take

the cable and like twist it up so that

it would kind of curl around on itself

and then I would take the whole thing

and just jam it in there

usually wouldn't come out but this is

actually a more a more professional way

to do this now this is weird I assumed

we had an MSI graphics card but we don't

in fact we don't have an MSI anything

what hold on just a minute here lucky

the dragon MSI graphics card quick users

guide msi geforce drivers and utilities

digital storm did you send me these cute

stickers just to suck up

they must have they must have gotten the

accessory package mixed up because this

is an asus graphics card i'm actually

not a hundred percent sure what the

model is oh looks like it's an RT x 27 t

and this is also a nice motherboard this

is a z3 9 DP prime or a prime z3 9 DP

this is actually a pretty high-end

config overall so we've got a 2 terabyte

hard drive 500 gigs of 970 Evo nvme

storage I don't know what processor

we're looking at but this is probably 16

yep this is 16 gigs of DDR 4 memory at

3200 megahertz and let's go ahead and

fire it up so maybe I can figure out

exactly what let's have a look at the

super chad's here

oh this is awesome is this from today

oh no it's from the last web show

someone sent a super chat congratulating

Luke on his doctor disrespect joke

that's so good

it was so funny alright sorry David

there's nothing really that fascinating

to look at back here just standard power

cord this is where we judge their

ability to make sure that things work

right out of the box although again

Anthony did fire it up so you could

throw some games on it I do want to find

out how much this config costs now that

I know exactly which one I have I'll

need to know what processor it is first

though uh no I don't want any of the

surprises foot okay my chapstick fell

out again how did that happen

I'm probably gonna want what now

oh yes Ethernet cable Thank You Anthony

are you hanging around just to help me

alright power on

Wow that is RGB AF I guess I shouldn't

be that surprised I don't know I just

like with the event 'im I fully expected

it because it's like at the ten thousand

dollar system then you kind of you reach

a point where you can't really spend

more money on the hardware and you just

have to start spending more money on

flash rather than - but this is this is

pretty pretty RGB doubt as well let's go

ahead and have a look at what they've

what they've managed to implement here

here come on over here so first we've

got three of digital storms RGB fans in

the front so those are taking care of

the illumination of this logo here it

doesn't actually seem as though it's

independently what oh no it is - so

that's awesome so the logo itself has

its own RGB lighting and then there's

three RGB fans behind it that are just

glowing through the perforations in the

front of the case all right we've got to

make sure that in the event of an RGB

fan failure or an RGB light dimming you

know your logo is always taken care of

then we've got a couple of what appeared

to be individually addressable RGB

strips we've got one along the top and

then we've got one along the front can

you see that all right David yeah the

top ones really hiding up there like

it's the kind of thing that you'd

probably only really see in the dark

we've got one small RGB lighting element

on our graphics card we've got RGB on

the CPU cooler we've got RGB on the logo

down here and we've got RGB on the back

if we rated our gaming systems you know

out of how many RG B's they have this

would be a one two three four five six

seven eight this would be nine out of

ten now we do have one small potential

snag that we hit and that's that I am

not getting an output right now this is

always fun this is why I love doing

things live instead of pretty Oh what

what even just happened to dumped us all

the way at the desktop okay hold on a

second I wanted to see if they tuned

anything in the BIOS dang it we're

getting some requests in the YouTube

chat for some ASMR is that like a very

current meme right now because wasn't

there some weird commercial with a ton

of ASMR in it or something you know what

I don't think this monitor review is up

on YouTube yet you guys are gonna want

to check this out this is a or s is

active noise-cancelling monitor and we

brought it in for review thinking well

that's going to be super stupid alright

something we can basically

make fun of and have nobody really

defend it and it actually ended up

working quite a lot better than we

expected but then not in the ways that

we expected the active noise-cancelling

is man I don't know that that many

people will use it but there are other

aspects of it that are really good how's

the glare off the screen that's fine

cool so we've got a 9700 K 16 gigs of

RAM as we knew I'm gonna go ahead and

I'm going to just do mic my sort of

quick change load optimise defaults yes

and then f10 and changed oh so it looks

like they have actually done some tuning

in here so they set the AI overclocked

tuner to XMP too they set the AVX

instruction and core ratio negative

offset from 1 to auto interesting so hey

Anthony can you think of a reason they

would change the AVX instruction core

ratio negative offset from 1 to auto

does AC ship it at one no no I changed

it to auto I set optimized defaults so

they said oh they set it to one Oh

interesting so it's Auto more than one

it's on a 9700 K Oh they've changed more

than I thought here whoa okay so we've

got there overclocking service running

on here alright so they changed the RAM

frequency to thirty-two hundred

megahertz they've set it to sync all

cores which might actually be all

they've done in terms of overclocking

because it doesn't look like they've

adjusted the CPU multiplier so all

they've done is tune the DRAM voltage

the timings the frequency they've set it

to all core turbo and then they've set

the cue fan control the PWM elbe that's

good so that means that we're using a

PWM either fan or pump depending

whatever they've plugged into it they've

set CPU fan speed to ignore that's an

interesting one I wonder if they're

customized a Sutekh cooler here doesn't

have an RPM sand

yes it does it's right here ha that's a

weird thing yeah you could be right

because you can actually I think you can

adjust the threshold in a Seuss's bios

but it might be that you can't adjust it

low enough it's a power phase control

extreme power duty control load line

calibration level 3 ok so basically they

haven't really overclocked it in the

sense that they have adjusted the CPU

multiplier they have just set it to take

all of the cores to the multiplier of

the max turbo that it otherwise would

have been able to achieve except under

demanding AVX loads they've set an

offset of 1 so you would run 100

megahertz lower in a really really heavy

workload so we're gonna discard our

changes and exit so we can actually keep

the tuning that they've done on here

I'll be interested to see if it's stable

because a lot of the reason we dabbled

very little in overclocking back in the

NCIX days is that you can't really count

on it and I've seen a lot of people

complain about pre overclocked systems

saying that you know that's stupid I

don't want to pay $100 for someone to

press a couple dials because

theoretically now you could order the

same system just go through that list of

everything I showed in boom you've

applied the digital storm pre overclock

but it's not necessarily quite that

simple because what we would run into

back from we were building these systems

is you'd have Hardware be it the CPU the

course themselves the memory controller

the motherboard whatever it is you'd run

into hardware that can't handle the

overclock that you validated with you

know the engineering sample chips that

Intel sent over while you were designing

your new lineup or whatever else and

then all of a sudden you've got like

these CPUs that you can't sell in

overclocked systems unless you go and

spend a bunch more time like figuring

out what exactly you need to tune about

this one

so there can be some there can be some

overhead in terms of making sure that

whatever you're shipping out actually

runs at those speeds so you can see here

even though we're barely doing anything

we're basically sitting at the desktop

this puppy's running at 4

point six six four point six seven

gigahertz not too shabby

I am logged into another computer

playing 3dmark

mm-hm Bob why it's probably Alex does

someone want to send him a quick message

and let him know that not to kick me

back off that would be swell if you

could not do that why don't we have a

look at some of our super chats here

it's an MB 500 apparently the case okay

finally caught a live stream says keys

thanks for all the fun videos you are

totally welcome oh that's weird

I think I need to reload this page it

doesn't say it doesn't say how many

people are watching maybe nobody's

watching it's entirely possible I don't

think Jake would tell me I think he

would actually just let me sit here

there's 20,000 people watching my things

not working oh all right cool all right

really actually quite like this monitor

so it's 144 Hertz its 1440p it's got

some kind of interesting features here

I'm not sure how much digital storm is

gonna like this but you know what can i

what can I say it might just be too bad

let me just see if I can find here we go

I'm just gonna put on a crosshair here

David if you want to come maybe we can

let the chat decide which crosshair I

should put into my built-in crosshair

monitor thing so we got style 1 it's a

pretty standard crosshair what do you

think what do you think David you like

this one no boring okay

maybe well I'll let David decide Allah

David decided ok custom too so we drew

we drew our own crosshair what do you

think it's disgusting it's gross you

don't like it

okay custom - you're in you're in what

custom 3 ok so so really it's between

custom 2 and custom 3 then it's alright

custom 3 alright I want I want

floatplane

floatplane to decide I'm just gonna fire

up the fire up the floatplane chat here

oh did you change the title on

floatplane Jake oh okay it's probably

just because I need to reload reload oh

shoot

it went away okay so game assist okay

custom to or custom three no mine

I the chat yeah it's not showing there

we go whoa whoa the overwhelming

overwhelming majority they want they

want the two the people the people have

told us oh floatplane doesn't have any

spam mitigation a lot of these are the

same people you guys alright alright

alright alright alright we're going with

200 and it's pink by the way alright so

where do I want to keep these settings

absolutely I do

let's do it so I actually don't know

exactly what configuration of the system

this is and how much this one costs why

don't we find that out in a little bit

but first let's wait oh no I wanted to

go in arcade mode well that's okay at

least I have this wonderful crosshair to

stare at okay I know this is sponsored

by digital storm but I have to take this

opportunity to say you gotta respect

companies that know their audience that

right there and I'm not pointing to the

person I'm just pointing to his neck

that is a neckbeard you know cuz you got

to be you got to be a little bit you got

to be a little bit realistic you know

like I don't think you can okay

generalizations are bad and they hurt us

all but I think it's fair to say that

the people who are like really into the

look of their computer fall into

different general demographics than the

people who are just into sort of like

playing games and you know what I

personally like it's like a campaign for

real beauty kind of thing to me just

going you know what the people who are

gaming

our systems you know some of them might

actually look like gamers like I'm sure

digital storm employees like you know

you know really gorgeous models for some

of their marketing collateral or

whatever else but I also think it's cool

that they just have like people who just

look like you and me and Anthony and

Jake just like gaming on the system and

I like I respect that

that's good that's probably a digital

storm employee to be perfectly honest

with you what's a good doom arcade mode

run where you can just like run around

and kill stuff okay too late you're out

see Anthony shoot I think we're no no no

man there we go

start round I'm just gonna double check

make sure we're at 144 Hertz here come

on video d bloody resolution off looks

right apparently you can't set that I

don't know it's just weird it's this FPS

is showing 60 for some reason I just

want to make sure that what's up I have

wait oh I recognized the Hat more than

well okay in my defense he's like in

profile what's his name again

shoot yeah no yeah alright that's he's

the booth babe okay uh no actually this

does look fine so I'm not too worried

shut up Jake I am so bad with names and

faces this is like so embarrassing right

now this is the problem with doing

things live this you know what I'm not

doing videos live anymore

this is officially our last live stream

ever last live stream

nope no and show anymore when shows dead

I mean let's face it when show was dead

to a lot of our viewers already anyway

oh man that's so bad Jake do you mind

doing me a favor and finding out how

much this configures so we're at 2560 by

1440 g-sync on actually no this is a

free sinc monitor so ooh interesting I

haven't actually tried it on this

monitor yet but we should be able to

enable g-sync oh no it's not showing up

in here that's interesting I wonder if

we actually don't have the the latest

driver that driver only dropped like a

week or so ago mmm that's kind of a

bummer we're on for 17.7 teen so we're

running at anywhere from actually David

you wanted to come check out our frame

right here Jake are you working on that

the website so did we love hug the

website again man so anyway we're

running it anywhere from around 170 to

200 FPS this is 2560 by 1440 it's a 9700

K it's got an r/t X 27 T so this isn't

like a like a crazy over the top or

anything this is to grand us all right

500 gig and viennese storage so it's 970

honestly I loved Samsung's Evo lineup of

SSDs because you look at sort of

synthetic benchmarks like if you go and

you throw like data center workloads out

them or whatever there's definitely a

difference between the Evo's and the

pros but in terms of actual desktop use

and what's realistic for a typical gamer

or even like a media professional just

as a boot drive it's the performance is

just fantastic and the price is so much

lower than the pro ones so 2 grand

so you're basically paying about 10

bucks per FPS in doom at 1440p and then

what details are we running out here

we've got FXAA on and we're running oh

this looks like our hold on that was on

high

so I'm gonna let's go ahead and see how

she handles ultra there's just a couple

things I want to adjust here motion blur

yeah

yes I want to keep these advanced

settings I hate how hard it is to just

adjust settings and games these days

it's a pain in the butt yeah motion blur

off that's good

vsync off all right so 1440p ultra let's

try again and she couldn't even tell the

difference well isn't that just

fantastic you want to come check that

out we are still getting 200 frames per

second on this puppy love it something

else is do you want to let me know if

anyone like wants to see anything in

particular in chat you don't know if you

want to let me know I could do that but

I'm kind of playing video games right

now I'm sort of on lunch no I don't want

to do Mucho today I brought a lunch my

my in-laws made curry and it is

fantastic it is like the greatest like I

don't even know what kind of curry it is

it's some kind of like Asian style curry

that is the most amazing thing ever I

don't think we have that loaded

we have minecraft

we're not playing Minecraft look at

these headshots look at these headshots

Oh

headshot oh I messed 16 gig download you

know what all right do we even have

origin on here we do we do all right all

right you know what I'm here for nothing

if not to entertain the people so I have

never played apex legends it's a shooter

right okay basically point-and-click

adventure game then no problem I'm sure

I can figure this out

add to library download with origin yes

all right people let's do this yeah I'm

pretty sure this isn't a ten hundred

port let's just double-check that before

we're fully committed here that data yes

we are gigging it's all over the desktop

and everything it's beautiful it's

beautiful I have read and agree to this

and this will be playable at 39% how's

this coming down wow this is coming down

real nice oh this is it definitely

cached because we're oh oh look how

beautiful that is we are downloading a

game from origin at 950 megabit per

second and that's not entirely just

because of our caching server because

you can actually see what happens to our

CPU this is an unexpected benefit of

having a super fast CPU like on a per

core basis so this overclocked 9700 K

means that with 30% utilization on this

thing because there's only so many

threads that you can make use of when

you are when you're unpacking a game

that you're downloading we can basically

saturate our gigabit network connection

off of our Steam cache server so when

Jake set it up what did you set it up to

cache off I'm gonna walk over here so

they can actually hear you steam origin

I thought you did like windows update

and stuff do windows update yeah okay

why do I even ask you if I'm gonna be

the one telling the people what all

right thank you thank you thank you you

don't get any points for ego stroking

though what's also good yeah it's not

that much for the SSD though that's only

like 100 megabytes a second and there

might be a random element to it yeah

like if it's unpacking it as it goes man

that's fantastic so we actually did

discover when we did our steam cache

video that we were highly

single-threaded CPU performance

bottlenecks on many

there were only a handful of them call

of duty black ops 2 black ops 1 was one

that we could get like 300 plus

megabytes a second of download just

because it's not that compressed so now

we're we're back at it again with the

900 plus ok are other people less

impressed by this than I am because I I

can move on like I can move on I'm just

so happy so we're already at 70 percent

on this thing let's go ahead and play do

we do we own this game it's free oh

right because gullible people buy skins

that's basically the model right well

what I what do you what do you want from

me I mean what should we blow it on

skins I don't think I can do it you know

what I I have to say I have never paid

for an in-game item that's not like

actual like quest material so Dragon Age

Origins I I bought like some more quests

or something like yeah I've paid for

well no to me that's an expansion pack

basically and it might be a micro

expansion pack or whatever the case may

be but in terms of like a cosmetic item

or like the privilege of playing a

particular character I am proud to have

never paid for that what's the super

chat avila Avalon says want to see some

alien where area 51 m and rog mothership

full reviews can't decide which one to

go with who okay so i can comment a

little bit on it we will have full

reviews coming but we don't have our

review units yet of either but i had

been hands on with them so rog

mothership is a great option if you

realistically think you are going to

it on a desk any time you use it if

there's ever gonna be like a desperation

situation where you might need to like

sit with it on your lap on like a a bus

or something then the the del I forget

what the model is 51m sorry the

Alienware 51m might work out better for

you but there's gonna be so many factors

in that like we're gonna have to when

you're separating like two companies

completely different takes on best of

the best or whatever it's really tough

because they're both gonna go all out

and then in certain ways and they make

compromises and others there's nothing

you can really do about it no I lied I

did I got swept up in the star citizen

hype all right Thank You Nick yes I was

nope okay gullible people so I mean okay

I haven't done it since then I learned

from my mistake no I bought a

constellation like I have that like

Ballwin like multi person crude ship

yeah it's probably worth absolutely

nothing now I've flown it once oh yeah

that's that's a real wolf that's a real

shame alright let's just open this game

yeah yeah I got I got ripped I got

ripped full rip I can skip this hold

space to skip cool hey at least they got

that right attempting connection

retrieving match making list

alright so someone someone filming in

I'm not up on my apex legends what's

this stick here hub G crossed with

overwatch so so there's like classes

then pub G but classes are Katie okay

alright alright

thanks for playing our game and joining

us in on this new journey oh you're very

welcome to you must play apex right how

long is the training

five minutes all right let's do it Kings

Canyon you know we should have set up

the stream so that people could actually

like see the game and stuff okay so

that's a slow punch oh oh I would

probably Audio would be nice okay so it

just wants me to move crouch and then

slide okay cool so I did those things

completely okay it seems pretty easy

okay

now what I'm I'm certain there's audio

right now go loot go leader look bloody

hell yeah okay open the thing I'm gonna

take all the stuff and I don't know what

any of it is I'm gonna throw it left

click to throw a grenade okay so I'm

gonna swap it I'm gonna try and blow up

this guy you know I'm gonna go oh I was

gonna go hurt myself so that when I use

the health kit there I'll actually be a

point to it and then I'm gonna hold G to

use the Ordnance menu arc star thermite

grenade frag grenade I'm sure click oh

now I open it up man games are so

complicated I missed the days of like

quake you just grab all the things and

then just throw them at other people

this guy's probably saying something

Jake do you remember the tutorial where

do I go I'm gonna shoot those things all

right cool and a one and A two and A one

Derrick tutorial what is this an

automatic handgun no it's stupid

you guys are hard to watch you want to

know why cuz you're not live on YouTube

right now so how am I supposed to watch

you okay i pinged a location i pinged an

enemy location i pinged a weapon where's

a weapon oh I know I gotta get around to

the other side of this again ping a

weapon alright paying some a low paying

all the things hold to use the ping menu

blah blah watching here alright cool

good for me oh man are we close yet two

more parts holster weapons to run faster

I should be able to pull it a knife

everyone runs faster with the knife

talked to Pathfinder who the hell is

Pathfinder how do I get up there or

there stairs

I need stairs I don't want to jump up

there climb alright let's climb that

climb the rocks all good right over

there and slide or something I know I

don't know what you're saying

my ultimate my abilities yeah we all

know that's not happening unless my

ultimate is like punch really hard and

really slowly I do like that though

there's so many all I have to use it

okay how do you ultimate oh okay cool I

don't know maybe it's possible use your

tactical ability okay what did I do

I don't know I could be just as soon as

I was terrible at the game oh wow ouch

that's that hurts that hurts that hurts

me we have a new membership perk for

YouTube oh yeah community posts so we

have to do community posts and then

people who are members will see them

know oh right I think we were gonna do

coupon codes for the merch store no okay

I don't remember then my the microphone

is on my chest so you're gonna have to

come a little closer it's very slow and

inefficient to do it that way once a

month we're going to do a Members Only

community post which is a pole for which

livestream we should do on a Friday oh

so they get to pick the programming okay

cool I'm gonna use my I'm gonna use my

ultimate ability here Z call in a care

package boop boop oh I can't I can't

like drop it on him Jake had enough of

your crap okay where is it okay if I

stand under it will I die in the real

game that would kill me

okay well let's find out if it kills you

in the tutorial I moves me totally move

me out of the way all right so I get

that hey hey I'm doing the tutorial here

okay did I pass yet I got this are we

good nice what is this countdown for

sure that's fine whatever the guns can't

they can't be that hard

I mean if it's like CAUTI then it should

be fine yes yes I'm a winner

Oh I have no idea how the games running

I mean origin has an FPS counter

built-in I actually did not know that

origin

what like settings application settings

Diagnostics origin in in-game logging

yeah I don't know what this is talking

about it's like clearly running higher

than that so it's fine I'm not worried

about it

notifications yeah do you have any idea

how to uh how to show fps

okay well we'll turn that off in the

game oh come on back maybe you can do it

you can do it come on settings okay

video triple buffer no wonder it looks

so smooth and he aliasing tsaa

texture filtering the blah blah blah hi

hi hi everything hi is there hire nope

no hire there is

gameplay obituaries convert damaged

numbers shift f1 it's probably gonna

it's probably gonna close the game or

something you you guys are all such

trolls all of you I did I did yeah that

makes sense

whatever you know what I'm not gonna

worry about it there let's just play the

game

what okay is this a good hero did I pick

I consider this match a success if I

manage to kill one person not going for

full chicken dinner okay no you can

launch solo you don't wait is that

that's not my team okay so freedom is

the jumpmaster cool so anytime okay so

where are we going now okay and landing

that seems pretty cool hey there's

someone hi are you here still but I saw

you there you are what are you doing

I don't understand this you have a

shield you for finisher nice cool I was

easy

point click yeah I told you I was gonna

kill someone I don't know this seems

like a lot of work yeah okay okay I

don't know I just I deployed a thing do

you know what look this is embarrassing

for that person not me

I'm drawing too much attention to myself

right now I'm just gonna I'm gonna wait

here this seems like a good place to

wait this isn't that hard no problem

that guy did kind of suck though yeah

shut up David don't be a kiss-ass that

was it

hey I still consider it a success I

killed one person

so speaking of success I think that's

pretty much gonna be the end of our

stream that's about as that's about as

well as that could have possibly gone

guys you're gonna want to check out the

digital storm links they sponsored this

epic demonstration of fail gaming with

their RGB powered actually very powerful

gaming machine here it's got a three

year warranty I think there were a

couple of other things I was supposed to

mention about it it's available with

overclocking which even if you're

completely GPU bound in every game you

play if you were to set up a steam

caching server could result in faster

downloads off of your steam caching

server look I'm so excited about that

it's so cool I love it when the system

works because there's there's no real

load on the server itself it's just

serving up files so it's the clients so

if you had like a 10 gigabit team

caching server and then you had lots of

really fast clients they could pull down

games like nobody's business anyway

so thanks for watching guys if you

dislike this video you can hit that

button if you liked it hit like get

subscribed or maybe consider checking

out where to buy the stuff we featured

at the link in the video description

also down there is our merch store which

has cool shirts like this one and our

community forum which you should totally

join Alex totally called when I was

gonna be ready for script review she was

like one and I was like twelve thirty

twelve forty and it's like quarter after

one yeah I was playing video games I was

doing very important things wow I

actually did less damage than one of the

other people on my team but I survived

for far longer

I killed someone

in real life yeah friends its when show

time again that is to say it was when

show time 22 minutes ago but in fairness

to us this is actually the closest we've

been to on time in about a month

I love how at the time was 4:30 so we

always went live at 5:00

yeah another time still technically 4:30

but we kept on hitting 5:00 so then we'd

yeah so acting like it was 5:00 well

Colton went rogue that's what actually

happened yeah do you do you know this

part of the story he changed the

thumbnail he changed it and he changed

the description so that he he basically

unilaterally without any prior

authorization for management changed the

landowner five o'clock start which means

then he made a mistake he told me yeah

he told me it started at 5:00 now and I

was long ago okay so I'm gonna head down

there at 5:00 and then so today I had a

new laptop so that I won't accidentally

leak any information on the show anymore

so I had a new laptop tube setup and

then I had to do the thumbnail and then

this computer got signed out of a bunch

of stuff and then here we are 22 minutes

later and it's time for us to be honest

with you guys because we've actually

gotten a lot of really negative and or

angry feedback over the last few weeks

about the state of our titles and

thumbnails for the land show you know

people have said hey you guys put this

topic in the title and you barely talked

about it now in fairness to us that used

to happen a lot even back when we did

talk about tech news on the show there

was times where we literally would not

talk or we would completely forget about

it

but people are particularly upset

because over the last month or two when

show has gotten to the point where we

talk very little about any tech news

regardless of whether it's in the title

of the video or not so today we're

leveling with you guys the show is just

going to be an hour of us being with

each other and we might talk about some

tech news

we do have some topics for you guys the

NYPD is apparently mad at Google there's

been a crackdown on facial recognition

in Australian schools the FBI conducted

a sting operation on huawei at CES this

is hilarious and I'd actually really

like to talk about that one there's a

rumor of an upcoming gtx 1660 TI

whatever the crap that would be okay so

that you can overclock your switch

apparently right that's thing if you're

into that sort of thing that seems like

a good idea so that was a list of topics

that we may or may not talk about and

intermixed with all that might be

discussion of luke's beard which really

hasn't improved since last week and you

what sorry i got to deal with yeah you

you do okay you know what let's roll the

intro let's reel the intro because we

forgot to roll the intro at one point

people are mad about that too why

what now - says Luke Spears oh no kami

Eibach says Luke's beard looking mighty

fine

so I think I think I'm gonna give it one

kind of chance yeah where I'm gonna try

to clean it up now

okay and how what exactly is your plan

to clean it up because right now you've

got this whap sided thing going on here

yeah it's really hard to shape it right

so I'm gonna try to like cut it into

shape which probably isn't gonna work

okay cuz you know that the entire

comments section of I think it was last

week's wine show was basically beard

advice for you right no you got a comb

it like this way and then you got to do

that you gotta use like a conditioner

you get it yeah there was like a bunch

of product recommendations for stuffy

who I was talking to they just don't

know you very well anything more

complicated than like a bar of soap

doesn't touch this man he's a simple man

I just yeah I don't know people have

asked me for any kind of soap that don't

come in a bar that's too messy okay

do you use conditioner no no I have do

you hold on on accident thought it was

shampoo do you use shampoo yeah really I

just know I am poo for my whole body I'm

gonna body wash for everything is this a

TMI moment about how much hair you have

is it more just your belief that soap is

soap so mess or your cleaning stuff

therefore whatever has the highest

volume yeah so per dollar is therefore

superior Costco so I feel like

three packs you buy like six at a time

you don't go back for a year I have to

confess I am just as bad as you but the

other way so for me it's bar so I don't

own shampoo okay the shampoo bottle is

for my wife I don't touch it

no and and I I just I just use the bar

for soap your hair yeah oh I didn't even

know that was like no yeah I guess yeah

is soap not soap yeah and like it's not

like I keep my hair for very long yeah

like I kind of gets long enough that

lets so it's funny thing so I ran into

trouble with my kids because my

daughter's in particular well they have

longer hair than me and so when they're

babies you just use like this infant

like general wash yeah and you know they

have like they have really short hair

and they have really delicate skin and

blah blah blah so you just use this like

infant wash sure and use it all over

anyway just out of not feeling like

searching for another product if it's

good enough for an infant it's good

stuff for a 3 or 4 year old

I just kept using it on them and my

eldest daughter's hair got to the point

where it was just like straw coming out

of her head

and I was like light bulb moment

conditioner right I will like there was

one time I accidentally grabbed a bottle

of conditioner and put it in my gym bag

okay and then went to go have a shower

at the gym if you conditioned your whole

body how was that it was so weird

because it's like really like I don't

use conditioner so I don't know but it's

like oily is it it's more oily pretty

sure yeah yeah so then I like I didn't

look at the bottle and I like squished a

bunch into my hand and put it in my hair

and then like tried to transfer around

it was like what defense they looked

very similar in a lot of cases yeah and

I was I was highly highly confused but

yeah people have asked me many many

times what I do to my hair I'm like yeah

it's it's water in the shower and then I

go flop and then I leave the house so if

it can't be that easy I probably

shouldn't do it which is why I'm

probably gonna trim the beard

No yeah so uh one of the reasons that I

brought this up is another youtuber who

I believe own Miller with Phil DeFranco

launched a hair product what yeah so I

was just gonna say like if we ever get

to that point you'll know that we either

had outside consultation or you just

shouldn't buy it it's just like it's a

it's in like the shape of a shampoo

bottle but it's just like three bars of

soap the entire sales pitch would be

like it's cheap you just buy it like

really affordable your supply at a time

yeah yeah it's green trust us it's not

Irish Spring yeah I don't know so that's

okay I have I have a funny story yeah

you know you've complained mildly about

my shoes I've had the same pair of shoes

yeah nope yeah I was gonna say toe is

doing on one of them but this isn't

weight sorry I was gonna like this story

no oh I see just a story okay let me

guess I mean yeah okay I'd like to I'd

like to guess what happened here so for

reference its it's supposed to it's

supposed to be know what the shoe is

suppose I think everyone knows but this

is not what a shoe is supposed to guess

I got a guess okay does it involve like

a campfire no actually but that makes a

lot of sense but no no I see where that

was yeah well informed though and this

is like oh it's how are you wearing this

today no I don't have other like these

are really light yeah I know they're

great this is why I have a really hard

time replacing them the back is

destroyed oh yeah like I need new shoes

yeah now I especially in the initial

yeah and like this isn't quite a whole

but it's definite

all the way through like the first layer

here yeah others many many many holes

how could its the toes okay I thought

you were gonna I thought you were gonna

tell me no there's also a huge groove

that's on the bottom that's new it is it

heat-related though uh there there yeah

there was he there was he there's

technically he okay there's also a lot

of movement wait were you like being

dragged behind something can I give you

a pretty powerful hint fine I wasn't

wearing them they got stuck in something

and yes curled up yeah and it was there

was heat involved yep you're getting

really close there's like a molded thing

put them in the dryer yes I'm like high

heat so okay though the actual problem

is that it jammed itself between the

side wall and the like the three arms

that are in the I don't know what they

call the three panels that are in the

dryer and it was like stuck in there

minded itself around that's why there's

like a groove in the bottom and it's

bent over and stuff it wasn't like high

heat it that's from like friction

molding like it's the dryer was like I

don't care you're going around the

circle so yeah I'm gonna have to finally

buy any shoes I can't believe you're

still wearing them today like when did

this happen last night okay

alright so this weekend that's your

that's one of my tasks is to get new

shoes so I said get toe shoes

what are too old oh oh I did but the

problem is they are also higher

maintenance what do you want to maintain

about toes okay one if you don't wash

them all the time

like they stink unless you get the socks

if you get the socks the socks are

really expensive yeah

and they like take a long time to put on

I guess you have to get each one of your

freaking toes mentioned the drawback

that you look like an idiot

you do okay I'm just checking yeah but I

actually really like them a lot I have

like part of my like knee problem with

wow this is great this is like what toe

shoes look like in the marketing

materials

what toe shoes look like on your feet

they don't look like no because they go

up higher those are like those are those

are weird they're all weird

those are exceptionally weird Ed's super

into them ed likes the toes I like them

so they they help my knees a little bit

I find a little bit because I don't know

if you remember I used to run barefoot

all the time

yeah convincing you to put on any amount

of clothing at work was kind of a

challenge

okay fair different story but yeah I

used to run barefoot all the time so

that made it so I could run barefoot

with a little bit of protection as I

stepped on something that was the idea

so yeah I've also met people that not

only thought they look stupid but we're

like personally offended by them

personally as they like really really

really hated feet and because they could

like see the separation of the toes it

like looked more like an actual foot and

it like disgusted them how do people

like this shower I mean look at your own

yeah yeah like how do you I didn't

address it at the time but I was like

that legitimately has to be a little

difficult yeah how's your week this week

it's been pretty good actually

it doesn't seem like yours was I'm

assuming by the exasperated sigh I don't

I don't remember I actually don't

remember much from this week so we we

did a bunch of videos obviously yeah um

some of the ones we did are actual

pretty cool I don't have my regular

laptop so unfortunately I can't I can't

see my list of them but um what was the

one that we did in my office it was cool

oh oh I started working on one that I'm

pretty excited about so red and NVIDIA

came out and said that they were working

together to have r-tx cards accelerate

actually Adobe was involved as well so

to have r-tx cards accelerate working

with 8k red footage in Adobe Premiere in

real time so you can actually use the

GPU acceleration on the r-tx card

specifically to get smooth 8k video

playback at one to one while you're

editing and I thought that was really

cool so we're actually gonna be doing a

piece fairly soon on what exactly that

looks like and over the course of a

couple of days I finally got my test

bench working which involved three CPUs

two motherboards

three sets of RAM two graphics cards I

don't know what its deal was but I think

a CPU managed to just die okay it was

one that had been previously deleted and

it had been sitting in storage for a

while okay I actually wonder if the

liquid metal seeped out and then is

contacting something inside right now

like honestly anyway we've got a piece

coming on that but I want to talk a

little bit about liquid metal actually

cuz we've had there was a post it was

either on the forum where I saw it on

someone tagged me on Twitter where they

were talking about an issue they were

having with their laptop that they had

liquid medaled so not deleted in this

case because laptop CPU still have bare

dies but they had liquid metal did I

think it was like six months or a year

prior or something like that they

suddenly had issues with it they took

the thing apart removed all the liquid

metal that was on it put regular thermal

compound on it fired it up and it booted

up again and I just want to kind of like

address this again because even though I

feel like we made it really clear in the

videos that we did at the time people

seem to be still running around

and putting liquid metal on their

consumer electronics be they phones or

laptops or whatever else we said in the

videos and I want to say it again we

don't recommend that it's actually a

pretty bad idea because anything that's

going to be stored in a vertical

orientation especially anything that's

going to be stored in a vertical

orientation when it will be warm runs

the very real risk of having the liquid

metal seep out and make its way on to

other things because it doesn't

necessarily behave like water would

where it has a lot of surface tension

for example where even if it was a

liquid like it would be unlikely to to

just kind of ooze out or crawl over

things liquid metal is nasty freakin

stuff and so like putting it on

something like a phone is basically

asking for your phone to die yeah so

that's what I have to say about that oh

we also did this was this was great I

guess we'll see how people like it we

also did a video where I read me in

comments for the first time that's okay

do you like respond to them sometime I

felt like I kind of had to they were 10

out of 10 very mean ah

I put James in charge of it so he picked

them he he hand-picked the meanest

comments that he could find were they

like personally offensive or were they

like Gary personal oh they went after

everything from my voice to my looks to

my mannerisms to my mannerisms oh yeah

oh for sure yeah I haven't seen one of

those oh oh oh yep you may enjoy the

video you may enjoy the video I don't

think I will be like this isn't you

you've heard me say this since the start

of us working together so you know this

but I've never seen those things right

like people have complained about your

voice and didn't you say like someone

hated editing your videos even right now

about my voice being annoying that never

made me think

ever once understood that I don't know I

find it annoying so I think they don't

remember eyes don't be telling you yeah

I find it annoying and that's why it's

so hard for me to edit anything that I

host maybe yeah because I remember we

were like in the office at ncx talking

about it and be like I don't know you're

dying but it's fine

I don't find it as bad now and maybe

it's just because I've also gotten more

used to it okay or maybe it's because my

my manner of presenting is is it

possible that voice is also just

naturally deeper we have better

microphones and better microphones

that's probably a significant part of it

is we have across-the-board better

microphones for everything we do

honestly one of the biggest upgrades

that we made in the last little while

every last I have to take this off I

always wear this microphone home it

drives me nuts

I'll get in my car and that's what I'll

realize because sitting down with it is

kind of uncomfortable yeah I'll be like

oh I'm wearing the bloody microphone

again or you have the clicker or you

know I don't have the prompter in my

pocket pretty funny it's really annoying

because it wears it out and it's already

I've had to kind of like reinforce this

thing up here cuz this is like your

drink this is a fiver yeah yeah that's

my heat shrinking job it's really bad

because I used like this really stiff

heat shrink that doesn't really fix the

problem because if you're trying to

implement a strain relief and you just

move the strain really just some worlds

yeah you move the point of strain

somewhere else then you're you're just

prolonging the inevitable you're not

actually preventing it from being

damaged so what I really need is I want

to get like a bunch of those you know

those really little Springs like they

have on pens yeah so I want a bunch of

those that are just the right size for

our cables and then I want some nice

flexible flexible

moss yeah that's a pretty good job I'm

not trying to like plug our own sponsor

but yeah there's a few different

companies I've done stuff like that

unfortunately you don't get to pick the

cable for like a syncing microphone like

this anyway so the thing that bothers me

is that I'm unnecessarily damaging it

and this is like twenty five hundred US

dollars worth of audio gear but I don't

regret it at all cuz this has

been one of the best upgrades that we've

made sound is super important yeah it's

like actually really really important we

still don't always get it very right but

at least but at least generally speaking

on the videos now we get it more right

than we used to a lot of people you know

there were a lot of comments on the on

the 10 years of LTT video did you watch

it by any chance I did you did yeah

there were a lot of comments on it I

want your thoughts in a moment but there

were a lot of comments on it that people

were like you know the reason people are

harkening back to the old days isn't

because of the production values in fact

it's because the content was better I'm

like okay okay I see your point but one

thing that I wish we had found as we'd

gone back and looked for examples of

production gear upgrades was the videos

that I would personally stitch together

and forget to put the audio in both

channels because a lot of the time I'd

be doing it on speakers and I wouldn't

realize that you you you just took all

the blame for a problem that every

single person did at that point in time

so thanks mr. boss but I did it too and

it happened from other people that were

editing videos at the time as well it

happened a lot on our channel to the

point where like it was a consistent

complaint in the comments section people

like how are you guys still doing this

like years later how is this still a

problem because there were so many

videos where audio was only in one

channel that is absolutely a thing and

there was there was lots of other

problems as well so to be clear we're

not saying like production values are

the be-all and end-all to better content

I'm just saying that they were when I

was saying it was hard for me to go back

and watch that stuff I meant it was so

bad in ways that were entirely

preventable there's I think I think

there is some justifications to the

comments as well though not I don't

necessarily think the content was better

I think that's an overgeneralization and

possibly a misdirection of them assuming

something because they they don't

necessarily fully understand the problem

I'm not I'm not sure I'm just saying it

happens a lot yeah there was a comment

or

earlier about people saying something

about something and it was like knowing

from the inside I'm like kay that isn't

actually the problem but I see why you

would think that Brett makes sense but

that isn't really what's going on

because what I'm gonna say here is we

were quite campy back then yes and it

might have felt a little it might've I

don't know it might have felt a little

bit more personal and campy and more

like just sharing friends making videos

yeah and it relates to a tweet I made

relatively recently where I like

everything will change over time like

the original Assassin's Creed games are

intensely different than the new ones

the original Battlefield games are

intensely different than the new ones

and they will lose sometimes what the

original identity was yeah yeah I think

that's fair you'll claim a new identity

like we used to do unboxing videos in

front of insects yes it's changed a bit

yes like the content is drastically

different I think that in particular

yeah I want is for the better sure but

it's different people might not agree

and they might have glommed onto that

and it could be a nostalgia thing where

if they actually watched if you actually

made those videos now in that level of

quality they'd probably be like they're

about those things I mean that's yeah

boards in power that's all something

that I think a lot of people forget is

that or don't think about is that maybe

their own tastes have also changed yeah

maybe if we actually started making

videos on boxing power supply's again

they would find themselves also very

bored by it in the same way that I got

to the point where we would sit down in

the garage with like a pile of stuff to

unbox that's often how the preparation

started yeah and I'd be like oh just had

a power supply hold on give me like a

couple minutes but am I gonna say about

this what could I possibly say there was

there was times we had to do like pep

talks

I'm not even it happened I don't know if

you remember but like there was there

was times where we had to do sort of pep

talks or like you would try to like get

amped up before we started the video

yeah like holy crap this is boring I'm

neither motherboard and we had

had to shift from the products that we

were getting were interesting enough to

drive the content yeah - we had to make

them interesting enough and that was a

big shift and that's something that the

industry did and we had to react to it

or we wouldn't have kept improving so

like there's there's things that had to

change because the industry change

there's things that should have changed

because their production quality things

there's things that change because the

company's way bigger now there's there's

there has been a lot of change so I

think it's not completely unjustified

for someone to say like yeah it's

changed but I think it's I think it's

objectively fit so what did you think of

the video I liked it

did you get the nostalgia feels yeah so

you think like there's there's I have to

like I look at it and for me like

certain sections are more important sure

or like for instance I wasn't in the

last chunk which makes sense cuz I left

for floatplane so like I cared more

about other parts or whatever right but

like the video was really good cool yeah

so you want to know something

interesting I didn't write it really huh

that kind of makes sense Ashley earlier

this week was actually the two-year

anniversary of the writing staff I mean

and I mean the bulk of it so yeah

Anthony Alex and James now Jake worked

here before that but it wasn't right

area and then John obviously has worked

here for much longer than that but he is

working almost exclusively on tech wiki

and tech linked so so so the actual like

the LTTE writing staff yeah two years

now and that was that video was a moment

for me because it used to be that people

would often comment on the videos like

that was that was honestly a big

difference change in production value

that we didn't address in that video

because it wasn't really gear related

but that was one of the biggest

different changes for me I mix it as a

content creator and at the time

especially in the first few months

people would would say in the comments

like this wasn't real boy alone this

wasn't written by Linus it sucks

I was even then I was still reviewing

the scripts and I was going through and

I was making changes but I've gone

through sort of periods of greater or

lesser interference in the work that

they hand in to me and I've also gotten

better at copy editing someone else's

work over the last couple of years so

I've gotten better at my job but that

script was really a fun one for me

because it showed it revealed to the

extent to which they have gotten better

at their jobs yeah so that's kind of a

cool like wasn't necessarily included in

the video but was literally a core

component of the video like it harkens

to them regardless that's pretty cool

yeah and and it's not just James like

those that wrote it it was James that

wrote it but those guys Tom really have

started to think about how to tackle a

project in a way that makes them less

like bench markers and writers and more

like content creators over the last

couple of years so I shot a video with

Alex today on the Coursera one and there

were a couple of things that he did

differently in the video then you know

back when he had started and the scripts

I would get from them were so like they

were cookie cutter they were rudimentary

so there's this flow to it where it

refers sort of back and forward to

itself as you go through along a couple

of different threads that's really it's

the kind of thing that you wouldn't

think about unless you're a gigantic

nerd and you're like reading the script

and going through it with the writer but

it adds a level of dynamism to the video

that otherwise wouldn't be there and I

find that stuff really helps to make it

feel like a story which really really

engages the viewer and the story is far

more interesting than just the speeds

and feeds yeah absolutely

sort of this black box yeah and then the

other thing was he actually thought

about what we could do production-wise

to make it look and feel a little

different than just another system

review and you know what's funny he

talked Brent somehow he talked Brandon

into a dual cam setup

one tripod just aimed at me why does not

and one tripod off to the side with with

a sorry I telephoto lens on it so that

we could get like close-ups of me

interacting with the product at the same

time and when I walked in and saw this

setup I was like huh what the heck that

is so similar to that thing that I can

now one key difference is that we aren't

trying to do it live to tape which means

the host is literally switching which

source the audience is looking at like I

was dope no you're talking about

there's no anyways that was so amazing

no no that was the pinnacle of creation

but I still I still got a real kick out

of it

that's fantast okay Peter dat seven I do

want to get back to this as soon as I am

able to any updates on your crazy new

internet connection I actually do have

updates for you but first we really do

need to go through our sponsors yep

first up is private Internet access this

show is brought to you by P ia actually

there was there was a big thing oh I

hosted tech linked today and right

ISPs were selling your like real-time

location data to all kinds of where do

wells including bounty hunters Wow yeah

okay but like so it's definition of

Bounty Hunter and the dog you know yeah

yeah yeah like not like so like arrest

you because you have a warrant for your

last oh okay yeah still I'm just yeah

some people in the audience might assume

like oh those are the guys that boba

fett yeah so yeah not quite but with

that but still so basically you should

be using a VPN all the time and yeah you

should be using a DNS server that are a

DNS service that is that doesn't log

your activity

and you should be doing kind of anything

you can to keep your activities private

and then what was the other big thing

right yeah there was another big one

Abercrombie and Fitch who else got

caught doing this

I was basically using their iPhone app

to screen capture purportedly to you

know record the way users interacted

with the app but they actually ended up

with like credit card information and

stuff Wow yeah to be clear I don't think

P ia would necessarily save you from

either of these situations wasn't

anything you can do at this point really

seems like something you should probably

but it's not hurting it and it's gonna

help you in other ways too which is

super so go check out P ia

l mggg slash p IA when this stuff is

getting ridiculous go check out tech

link for the full details on that stuff

and yeah i also brought to you by

madrenas oh so it's actually here I have

not tried it yet but I did promise them

even though I'm not really a coffee

drinker that I would roast the lambo

roast apparently it's pretty good

third-party reviews are in cool yeah

sweet so lambo roast is a specialty

crafted roasted coffee blended and

designed by madrenas coffee and lioness

tech tips so we actually had a bunch of

coffee lovers here on the team

contribute to this the African and Latin

American beans in this blend give this

roast a suite at chocolaty flavor with a

huge bold body and smooth caramel finish

so there you go guys you can check that

out at the link in the video description

I'm the only one who's going to be

eating any savage turkey today that's

okay you can do the you can do the

talking point okay if you'd like to sure

it's right there

so oh yeah I can just look savage jerky

actually no I'm gonna find my own savage

turkeys great they've been a sponsor for

a long time they don't use nitrates or

preservatives in their jerky I remember

that that's amazing

and they use the best ingredients with a

goal to create a snack that is full of

flavor and spice and isn't bad for you

and if it's maple buffalo bacon try to

keep it away from lioness because he

will take it

Linus his favorite flavor is maple

buffalo bacon it's great delicious and

he clearly can't stop eating it until

it's gone love it my personal favorite

is the Moho jalapeno grab yourself a bag

and other and maybe some other flavors

or try out some of their their hot

sauces really good I yeah they're hot

sauces are very good I've actually I

that code everything is all good

boom I'm so happy right now because I

have a matinee buffalo bacon in a while

I ate it all and then there wasn't any

left did you only get two bags though or

is that just what's here I hope there's

more okay yeah okay so our new internet

our ISP I tell and tell us who like owns

the actual fiber all over the Lower

Mainland can't seem to get on the same

page about how exactly it's getting from

the D mark which is where it comes into

off the street which is actually another

building in this complex how it's

getting from the D mark to our building

Telus says I'm good Telus says that I

tell didn't do the right thing you know

splicing in three and four whatever they

said they've know what that means and I

was like okay and then I tell us

says tell us isn't really privy to how

their equipment works it has no idea

what the hell they're talking about

so right now I am as far as I know

supposed to have ten gigabit internet

now and I don't so that's the update on

the 10 gig Internet and I am like pretty

excited I thought it was five point one

five so it's five point five to the

general Internet okay yeah but it's 10

but it is actually 10 to everything at

Vanek's it includes AWS Akamai Google

basically anything that matters so

effectively it is ten gigabit internet

yeah and I want it and that's where I'm

at right now is there any rough ETA or

anything soon ok soon TM yeah ok there

are a couple of tech topics I actually

do want to talk about today so this is

hilarious this is supposed to by Daniel

T in on the forum and the original

article here is from Bloomberg and it's

like it's not actually related to a lot

of the Huawei stuff that's been in the

news lately yeah but it just kind of is

a really interesting look at how Huawei

is accused anyway of operating its

business so here's the summary Adam con

the inventor of Mirage Diamond glass

which is meant to be six times stronger

than Gorilla Glass sent a sample of his

product to huawei a potential customer

and you know it's funny on the tech

linked episode where we talked about

this some of the people commented under

the video look you're an idiot if you

send a pre-production product to huawei

of course they're gonna copy it well no

companies like Huawei and Apple and

Motorola and Google what will they

partner and they license technologies

from partners in order to make a better

product so no that's actually something

that you kind of have to do except that

instead of while we returning it when

they were supposed to and in the

condition that it was supposed to be in

they sent it back months later and badly

damaged so we had problem

to send it back within 60 days and to

limit and their tests to any that

wouldn't cause it damage this is pretty

standard in the industry and it's meant

to make it harder to reverse-engineer

intellectual property so the sample was

scratched cracked in half and had three

shards missing when it came back on an

FBI gemologist later concluded that

Huawei had blasted it with a 100

kilowatt laser that was powerful enough

to be used as a weapon so the FBI is

involved at this point they get Conn and

his chief operations officer Carl sure

baath has participated as participants

in this investigation of Huawei and they

asked him to travel to Las Vegas so this

is drinksy yes we were there like we

were down the street while this sting

operation is happening and asked them to

conduct a meeting with Huawei

representatives and they actually

secured a room at the LBCC this is the

convention center yeah and Bund it so

the FBI could listen in from another

location of the building so they bought

signage to make it look like a con had

rented out the space so sure Boff was

outfitted with surveillance devices and

recorded the conversation while a

bloomberg businessweek reporter watched

from a safe distance Wow

so finally this they didn't actually

confess to anything in the meeting but

on January 28th so this is about three

weeks later the FBI searched the Huawei

lab in San Diego where a cons glass had

been sent it was eventually forwarded to

China which they weren't supposed to do

and the FBI raid was a secret but not to

con insure baath who had been receiving

regular updates after it through their

lawyer um by then they had apparently I

didn't actually know this this is I

think is a newer development they had

succeeded in getting Huawei

representatives to admit on tape to

breaking the contract and to violating

US export control laws Wow

so the FBI this is how they figure into

all this they met with con tell him that

the bureau was hoping to educate local

startups

cybercrime and security vulnerabilities

and to encourage them to come forward

with suspicious activity and they were

trying to gather intelligence on Chinese

efforts to obtain us technology I was

gonna say it's probably more related to

that yeah yeah probably like heavily

more related to that it's interesting

it's also interesting that happened in

the convention center I know right like

you like we were we could have been like

there while this when I walked right

past where I did those rooms it's

probably just those little rooms in

South like I walked right now yeah yeah

that's crazy that's cool that's pretty

this is the kind of thing that like it's

cool that someone is actually like

standing up to this because the thing

about a contract is that it's only as

powerful as the entity that signed it

yeah and there and as their will to

enforce it because breaching contracts

is absolutely a thing okay i breached a

contract once probably more than once

accidentally oh okay I thought that was

a specific dick I was good no like oh

did I know okay okay I thought you meant

like there's something with no your

demeanor was like no sorry there's

something going yeah yeah oh you

destroyed me I'm assuming there are

contracts that you've broken so I

breached a contract once with a company

called student works painting I was I

thought you were gonna say like okay can

you get someone who knows coffee things

maybe get Alex Alex knows coffee things

know can you just ask Alex it'll be

easier just ask Alex Jake okay but

haven't you like since lmg times I

thought there was like an Nvidia thing

mmm oh okay like accidentally publishing

yeah a piece of content like technically

no me yes okay that's technically yeah

this is why I said probably more than

once yeah definitely

yeah okay but there was one time in

particular that I did it on purpose

oh because I was going over a period of

significant depression oh and I believed

that it was caused by my my job painting

houses or running that painting business

I asked them nicely to let me out and

they basically said you signed a

contract yeah that's it that's all there

is to it you have to finish the rest of

the summer but all I really wanted to do

was quit and go work at the computer

store and so I I worked through it with

my wife and we basically went yeah this

is pretty bulletproof even had a lawyer

look at it like a free legal counsel

through the city or whatever they were

like yeah you probably can't not do this

and finally I was like you know what I'm

not gonna go to work anymore and I think

that the optics of a student painting

company suing a student are probably bad

enough that they're probably not gonna

actually do that because that's a really

bad idea and that some interns yeah

that's something that I have actually

sort of relied on at points in my career

I will confess that during secret

shopper we did not fully vet the

legality of recording our conversations

is that it's an it single party consent

in Canada we will we did look into it

and it was questionable okay so single

party consent yes in Canada but that

doesn't necessarily apply to

conversations we're having outside of

Canada it could certainly be challenged

oh I thought it literally did but I

thought it was where the recording

happened anyways yeah our belief at

least my belief I actually had to fight

this battle internally my belief was

that the optics of you know someone

let's say someone that ended up not

looking that great like origin or

iBUYPOWER or del especially del the

optics of someone like del suing Linus

tech tips over exposing their customer

service agents outright lying to us

like was gonna be bad enough yeah they

probably weren't gonna do that so so I

guess what I'm trying to say is though

the law is only what is what someone is

willing to enforce please don't take

this as advice yeah it's not I am NOT a

lawyer and I'm not qualified to provide

any kind of I just wanna like make sure

we've got that yeah so I guess what I'm

trying to say is I think it's cool that

they're getting involved in what would

otherwise not be possible like in in

something that's happening that's wrong

a little startup yeah trying to deal

with what they wouldn't be able to

defend themselves they wouldn't be able

to enforce this contract against a

gigantic multi billion-dollar

multinational because even if they were

going to win it would be very very easy

and rather simple for Holloway they're

just be like Kate well this is gonna be

tied up in like a five-year or a get our

legal ragged house and we'll just bury

you with that so by then they'll have

been making insane profits selling this

reverse engineered glass already and

what do they care they can literally pay

for their involvement in this lawsuit

through the money they are stealing from

the patent that they violated yeah it

happens a lot actually yep yep so I

think that's cool there's one more news

topic that I did want to talk about but

Nick did you have something you want to

jump in with we don't neither of us

coffee how long 10 seconds well how's

this work I don't okay we don't we don't

coffee we don't know okay first 50 bang

okay cool

why do you why do you push down yeah

what are you doing right now what is

this straining the cop we're straining

the coffee okay you don't drink like oh

so the the coffee liquid is squishing

through that filter thing sure okay this

must be absolutely painful for people to

watch okay

is this so we're going straight from we

don't consume coffee at all to Jake is

just serving us black don't pour too

much in because I want it to cool down a

little yeah I'm gonna want to cool down

a lot so like give me less than that

that's fine that's fine that's fine

there we go I've always liked the smell

of coffee I've never been inclined to

drink it maybe twice in my whole life I

don't know like his cream or sugar

customary I should not drink it straight

so if I want it if I want it what what

are you even talking about Jake cool I

mean it's uh madrenas come that's nice

and light this is probably yeah legit

for camp I'm just I'm just gonna try it

hold on we're gonna do a couple of

really hot isn't it I have you you mean

we have to send you a play okay there's

one more news topic I wanted to do

beforehand we should also probably do a

couple super - oh wow we haven't done an

LTX update holy crap this show is never

gonna end

is there a blog update oh oh holy crap

ticket bracelet ticket pricing Oh John

will brought me a better coffee mug

here's my gamers Nexus coffee mug

fantastic thank you John oh I'll always

be shilling for gamers Nexus guys ticket

pricing for LTX is here so we'll be

using dream hacks preferred tix or

platform to sell and process tickets

this year they'll be sold in US dollars

this time sorry Canada and everywhere

else but to combat the dollar conversion

we have apparently lowered the cost of

the admission ticket

what it was last year so here they are

Saturday pass 30 bucks Sunday pass

sunday sunday sunday 30 bucks

two-day pass 50 bucks dreamhack

b-y-o-see plus two-day pass $80 in

response to the obvious question no you

cannot get b-y-o-see without a full

two-day pass yeah but that's that's for

fairly obvious reasons that is how that

should work just guys anyone wants to

complain that is like legit how that

should work alright

the LTX merch pack is 30 bucks that

includes a lanyard a t-shirt and and a

pin like an L TX pin it'll look a little

something like this and an LMG office

tour which is is that the day before

which which is on the Friday the day

before is 50 bucks I will be conducting

tours all day I guess pretty much ok

surprisingly cheap yeah it's about 15 20

bucks well we're gonna do groups of like

10 or 20 or something like that giving

the two yeah yeah yeah I'm just going to

do that all day the reason we're

charging is to control demand if you

guys honestly want to know why yes

because if we made it free then we'd

have literally three plus years ago we

made it free and we had a line up around

the building and we weren't able to

serve everyone and people were like

upset I don't even know if we had two

million subs at that point a fifth of

the size we are now so sorry

and then VIP which includes dinner and

what else does it include yeah yeah

there's like a little party here is it

here at the office yeah okay so you come

into the office and there's like a

hangout after work and specific VIP

merch I think they get a special hoodie

is that right different color t-shirt so

that's four hello

oh yeah the land center will be done by

then heck yeah

that's it no that'll that'll be done

cold for sure

for sure so here's a bunch

more information you guys can check it

out on the LTX Expo blog oh right yeah

here's what the pin looks like here's

what the t-shirt and the lanyard look

like all good stuff tickets go on sale

ah 12 p.m. Pacific time February 22nd so

also something that I wanted to make

clear is that these prices are the right

now prices we are going to be selling

tickets in waves and prices depending on

demand may go up if you want to come to

LT x and the Dreamhack land that's going

to be there buy your ticket do it fast

because there's a good chance it will

cost more we think there's going to be

very high demand we're we're trying not

to like be too optimistic but the number

of creators that I've heard back from

who have a strong interest in going

including some that are quite big has

been very encouraging I think that if

you're just not that into Linus Media

Group you might still want to be there

so one thing one interesting thing that

I'm going to point out which is probably

gonna be a big part of the reason why

people are gonna buy tickets faster this

year is the first two years the first

year was a pretty cool set of stuff plus

we got to hang out with Linus Media

Group crew the second year was like that

was about that good yeah there was a

ball pit the second year was like more

cool stuff and you get to hang out the

lines Media Group crew oh and some other

creators showed up which we didn't

necessarily know about until last minute

that's really cool and then this year is

like there's a land

there's tons of booths the VR section

got like multiplied by a billion its

Rheem hacks they're like everything's

been scaled up to such a ridiculous

degree that no matter what part of it

you actually want to go for if you want

to go to hang with lmg people there's

gonna be everybody there be there and if

you want to go there because the

conventions freaking sick then the

conventions freaking sick which is like

I don't know that's that's a really good

there's so much to do like it's this

this year's gonna be wild I'm so excited

all right I think I've said that enough

on the show are we doing this I want to

do one more top okay okay though the

rumor GTX 1660 TI so Nvidia was kind of

mad when the end of our our TX 2060

video we basically said well if you were

looking for a value card from Nvidia for

this generation wait for the rumored

upcoming something that will be without

RT X and now it looks like some of the

initial rumors were wrong in that it's

not going to have as many cuda cores as

the RT x 2060 so even in conventional

games it should be significantly lower

performing but it does look like there

is another card coming that will be have

the RT x stripped out of it and might

end up being a better value so it's

going to be based on the tu-160 in GPU

with 1536 cuda cores 6 gigs of GD r 6

and it will not have our TX no word yet

on tensor course the first listings for

MSI and palette cards have appeared on

Russian retail sites and I can talk

about this rumor because I don't have

any official word from Nvidia other than

getting mad at me saying that that was

unsubstantiated and you shouldn't trust

the rumors and I did they did get some

stuff wrong but it looks like there was

no line I think the worm the the rumors

weren't true at all now here's all the

numbers that you saw in the rumors on

screen behind me in that half with their

last major launch yeah sweet yeah all

right whatever man coffee then super

chats ok when's the last time you drank

coffee probably close to 8 or 9 years

ago okay I have sipped coffee once in my

life for the one of the like the manly

desk management video and I had to

borrow a mug from Burkle I think I think

Nick van Berkel made the coffee for me

because I had no idea how to make coffee

so I've been in yeah we used your truck

I've been in shots where I'm supposed to

drink coffee I just swapped it for water

yeah so ice is legitimately coffee I

forget why I had to I forget why yeah

can I can i whatever there's coffee

there's coffee in there alright so I'm

gonna try it and just because I don't

like it doesn't mean you guys might not

like it but there you go that's an

important note

neither of us are coffee drinkers nev us

and this is black it's pretty strong

I guess that's black how I don't drink

coffee I don't drink coffee either it's

better than the other one I had I was

just gonna say it's but it's like better

yes exactly okay I usually get the like

look from coffee that did not give me

that like it's I I was expecting it to

be like super bitter and I can I can

taste what they were talking about on

the bag we're gonna have not black

coffee maybe we'll do that next week

because realistically we're gonna have a

madrina spot to do next week anyway yeah

like it's way better than like whatever

garbage Nick van Berkel made for me

throwing endorsement right there even

people that don't like coffee are like

yeah that's all right

better than garbage yeah um yeah I can

also taste the undertones that they were

going for so that's pretty cool actually

there's some third-party reviews of it

already because the first shipment went

out and people seem to think it's pretty

good so nice yeah all right yeah couple

super chats Erik says who's gonna do the

voiceover for the Linus audio book come

on me obviously well when I do my book

I'm just gonna read it yeah yeah that

makes sense

so like the funny thing is I think I

have I talked to you about how I'm gonna

use like more like a podcast

subscription monetization model I'm

gonna release it chapter by chapter it's

gonna be the most blatant cash grab of

all time and then so the so the

audiobook is just going to be a podcast

that you subscribe perhaps no right you

should have your own channel on Flo

plain making everyone mad that's how you

should distribute it no I know right the

like Linus personal

so it's like yeah hey all the you know

the whole thing where you know - media

group makes revenue and then you know

takes that and just assign salaries to

everyone and like everyone kind of wins

when the company wins yeah forget that

nope this is the Linus personal job well

no you can still do that split

behind-the-scenes my grand soo Shadow

Zion shout out to you to Zion dials Oh

Everett says I'm applying for the grip

position just waiting on permit so how

many people applied whoa Oh for yours

well if you logo on the arm I'm the

doctor says life doesn't properly

appreciate lionesses voice okay but the

other day I'm watching tech linked with

Reilly hosting and my wife walks in and

says why does every tech guy have a

high-pitched annoying voice good gravy

dang iconic sorry first wind showing

it's on my birthday thanks for all the

content helped me build my first PC

that's freakin awesome I love hearing

that from people yeah

shoutout to zero hope to see you at LTX

by the way AJ pointed out also the

floatplane team is gonna be at LTX if

that's what you're into yes I will be

was perfect I actually that I got a lot

of like tweets and comments about that

that's pretty funny oh I don't know how

to pronounce this name something

weighing on liquid metal to my 9900 K a

few months later it seeped out and it

fried my motherboard and PSU rib dang

yeah he said what did doctor disrespect

ever do to anyone I was like probably

disrespected them Erik says sorry didn't

mean to imply I didn't want you to do it

I love your sex voice and since $69 I

have no idea what you're talking about

hell yeah no I don't think so all right

McHale says just to say your backdrop

every time I watch the man show reminds

me of the old red vs. blue series I

think it's supposed to be I think it was

supposed to be orange

I'm not sure though don't is it supposed

to be red and blue alright

membership perk oh yeah once a month you

guys will be able if you join as a

member on YouTube once a month you'll be

able to pick between the things that

we're doing on our Friday live streams

that is assuming that we are organized

enough to make that happen

josh says built my own home server with

dual Zeon's 36 terabytes of raid 5

storage for plex and backup 10 gig

internal network and battery backup

learn lots from your channel been here

since the beginning that's freaking

awesome

alright so thanks for tuning in guys to

the one hour of BS show and there might

be some tech news we'll see you again

next week same bat-time same thing

before we're done oh no no no you do it

no I'm just kidding someone asked for

flow plan updates there is notifications

in now we haven't been broadcasting it

like a ton because there's a bunch of

improvements coming to notifications so

there there's nicer things will be

happening with notifications but you can

get them now if you go to your settings

cog wheel in the bottom corner should I

do it sure should be fine ok yeah I mean

it should be there we go so settings cog

wheel settings not a creator CMS yeah

and then notifications and then you just

like click the bell and fill the Bell in

for the different things that you want

do you want push notifications do you

want email we should probably eventually

have a better explainer for that if you

want push notifications your browsers

gonna ask you like hey is this ok and if

you say yes you'll you'll you'll get

them that's pretty cool and by the way

our Bell like really works yeah it's not

miss or anything it's not that you to

buy theoretically yeah there's some

stylistic changes coming and there's

some improvements for how it looks and

feels overall also we don't have a

notification sound right now we will

eventually get a notification sound but

we need like a unique sound and that's

not something anyone and either of the

companies has really done so it's a new

new avenue to go down I've been doing a

lot of research on notification sounds

which is a weird thing weird weird thing

to research but I've learnt a fair

amount yeah

hey over here or whatever that super

annoying thing was back in the day no

mine was a smiley faces yeah same era

definitely yeah yeah but yeah that's

about it say something remember that oh

my god alright see you guys bye

sure does we actually specifically

thought of you

I know my brother calls it

a portion of this video is sponsored by

LastPass

welcome back to coping with your iPhone

James how do you deal with all the

useless seldom used or bloatware apps

that clutter up your homescreen mm-hmm

great question well you know it's really

no problem all I do is I put them all

into one folder that I call you sis

garbage and then I just never go in

there again and it only takes up one

square on my home screen one square

that's great and and how about you Riley

well that's a great method but what I do

is I put all my useless apps on their

own special page in the back and I just

never swipe it just doesn't ever go

there nope you don't have to look at it

at all it's like it's not there that's

terrific okay oh please take just

they're so easy to use our thing yeah oh

that's great

join us again next week when I'll be

sharing my favorite Dogville recipes I'm

just kidding you guys we did a video on

10 reasons iPhones are better and now

androids getting the same treatment

after this message from our sponsor

LastPass LastPass relieves the burden of

trying to remember all your passwords

for every website let LastPass fill in

the passwords for you learn more at the

end of the video or through the link

below

so once again we've leaned on our

community to compile our list and

surprise surprise the number one most

commonly cited perk of Android is

customization

not only does Android lets you put your

app icons wherever you want including

places you can actually reach use non

hamstrung third-party keyboards a swift

key on iOS is just truly awful and

change your default browser to something

other than Safari it even lets you

change what's called the launcher which

is basically how your desktop

looks and feels for example the Google

pixel launcher has the actor are

available from a swipe up and the Google

now feed from a swipe right but you

don't need to have a pixel to make your

phone look like this other Android

phones can just download the pixel

launcher or one of the hundreds of other

launchers from the Play Store which whoa

Microsoft launcher does anyone use that

10 million downloads look the point is

that it's customizable and while it is

true that you can take more control of

your iPhone by jailbreaking it that

basically just unlocks features that

Android users already get out of the box

and Android offers an even deeper level

of customization if you root your phone

and install custom roms which are

basically alternative firmware with many

of them created for free by members of

the open-source community and they allow

you to do all kinds of crazy things like

removing bloatware overclocking for

better gaming performance underclocking

to extend battery life installing

updates as soon as they become available

instead of waiting for the OEM to push

them or even just changing what color

your notification light flashes speaking

of freedom

whereas unjailbroken iphones force you

to download any and all apps from the

App Store

on Android you can number to completely

bypass the Play Store by side loading

apps as many of you no doubt learned

when you installed fortnight for Android

apps are just dot apk files and they can

be downloaded and installed directly on

any Android phone as long as you've

enabled the capability in your phones

first apps that are side loaded don't

have to adhere to the Play stores rules

so some of them can be sketchy but there

are cases where the decision to go off

play store was driven by other reasons

like the developer not wanting to give

30% of their revenue to Google or

wanting to release a casino app that

lets you gamble with real currency or

just wanting to free the nipple as it

were the next level is that you can also

sideload apps that are themselves app

stores so you can actually have more

than one app store on your phone

for example the Amazon App Store used to

let you download one paid app per day

for free like there's no reason to miss

out on stuff like that and from a

developer perspective alternative and

often smaller app stores let you target

users of a specific niche or region I

mean the Google Play Store is not

accessible at all in China without a VPN

so if you want to access the Chinese

market you're gonna have to submit your

app to $0.10 my app or Baidu mobile

assistant number three took me a little

bit by surprise interaction with the

desktop now when you plug an Android

device into a PC it acts like pretty

much any other USB device or flash drive

and you can even use a conventional

drag-and-drop interface to access both

its onboard memory and an external

storage device such as a micro SD card

by contrast iPhones must interface with

the desktop via intermediary software

namely iTunes now to be clear it is

possible to be an iPhone user for years

without ever needing iTunes relying on

iCloud for backup and downloading stuff

directly to your phone using the files

app which came out with iOS 11 and thank

goodness because before that you

couldn't even download things from the

internet but if for some reason you need

to connect your iPhone to a computer

with a cable like to move music from

your phone to your computer then iTunes

is liable to be a huge pain in the booty

that prevents you from completing tasks

that would otherwise be very simple the

only exception is to copy pictures from

your iPhone

the computer that you can do and that's

because your computer sees the iPhone as

a read-only camera so you can't like

copy photos from your computer to your

iPhone something I discovered recently

when I tried to help my aunt move to a

new iPhone and I was like oh this should

be easy I'll just move all your old

photos onto your oops number 4

similar to the software side Android

gives you infinitely more choice when it

comes to hardware because Android is

open-source the software can be found

inside devices from myriad manufacturers

and this again gives you more freedom

because instead of saying well shucks I

don't really like what they did with

this year's iPhone I guess I'll wait

until next September's keynote

competition pushes OEMs to continually

innovate allowing consumers to vote with

their wallets on the features that they

care about headphone jacks stereo

speakers expandable storage screens

without notches all these treasures and

more await and of course this plurality

of devices represents number five

different price points not everyone

wants to or even can spend seven hundred

eight hundred fifteen hundred dollars on

a phone there are 400 million smartphone

users in India and only three percent of

them have iPhones

it's for a reason at seven hundred and

fifty dollars the budget iPhone is price

prohibitive for millions of people but

on Android there's a device for everyone

number six is split-screen multitasking

provided that you're using supported

apps Android lets you divide your screen

in two so you can say read an article

while you watch a twitch stream it's a

feature that some power users cannot

live without while others like myself

hardly bother using it but hey at least

we have the option the really bizarre

thing here is that iPads got support for

split view with 2017 iOS 11 including

the 7.9 inch iPad Mini but-but-but-but

no you can't use split view on your 6.5

inch iPhone 10s Macs because screw you

Apple doesn't think you should be able

to

number seven USB type-c adoption of USB

C is really picking up steam now and

having a standard interface on your

devices is the bee's knees because in

theory nearly every device in your house

could use the same cables I brought one

charger with me on my last trip and I

was able to use it for my phone my

laptop and my switch awesome but what's

weird is that while I could charge all

of those things including a MacBook if I

had one but it won't work with the

iPhone now granted in the past the

iPhones lightning connector was

definitely superior to USB micro-b it's

reversible and can handle more power but

USB C has closed the gap and even

surpassed lightning with many more

features and much higher data transfer

speeds and Apple honestly it just looks

kind of silly for not supporting it all

of their devices could have the same

port for the first time ever but no

number-8 Android has more unlock options

you can unlock your phone with a code a

pattern your face your eye or your

fingerprint depending on your device of

course and each method has its place

depending on context a fingerprint

reader whether you prefer it on the

front side back or even under the screen

glass is still more convenient than

facial recognition in some cases but

then face unlock is great to have to and

even passwords have their place what

doesn't have a place is fixing something

that ain't broken

I loved touch ID and I gave Apple a ton

of praise for it but then they went and

took it away probably forever even

though it would have been so awesome to

have the Apple logo just work as a

stealthy fingerprint reader like it's

just sad that they didn't do that

seriously

number 9 Android has a universal back

button now many of the Apple faithful

and even some Android users might find

this point controversial but hear me out

yes you can go back on an iPhone either

by swiping pressing the button in the

header or using safaris back button on

the bottom when it's visible which

method you use is totally dependent on

the app

but it's not the inconsistency here that

I have a problem with it's the

positioning the back button is easy to

reach on Android because it's right here

by your thumb and what's cool is that on

many phones you can even choose which

side you want it on but on the iPhone

right-handed people so that is most of

us have to reach all the way across our

increasingly ginormous screens to

initiate a swipe or even worse way up to

the top to reach the button now back

when iPhones were small one-handed

devices that was fine but this was

something I criticized back when they

launched the iPhone 6 and they still

haven't fixed it it's just not economic

I mean at least they let you swipe right

from anywhere on the home screen and

finally number 10 OLED screens yes

iPhones do finally have OLED screens now

starting from 2017 S iPhone 10 and while

it looks like all models will have OLED

starting in 2020 right now their

cheapest model still sports an LCD

meanwhile in Android OLED screens are

starting to appear even on mid-range

devices and they actually use it for

some reason Apple still has not given

its users always on display

functionality while some Android brands

have already started expanding the color

and interactivity even of their

always-on screen locks now I am NOT

saying Android is perfect software

updates hey with some handset makers

forget about it random battery dream I

have complained about that on this phone

it in particular the one that is my

daily driver manufacturer spying

scandals those have happened and also

just the fact that there's kind of

always it's always seems like there's a

compromise like there's no one perfect

device that has everything that you want

there's always some kind of an issue the

point I'm trying to make here is that

there are just plenty of reasons to buy

an Android just like there are plenty of

reasons to buy an iPhone and one reason

to enjoy your use of either of them is
