What is up ladies and gentlemen welcome to the WAN show we've got a fantastic show lined up for you all today our big topics this week are razor

has egg on their face due to the unqualified product they asked you to put on your face in other big news Nvidia dropped a new 12 gig version of the RTX 3080

and everyone definitely cared about that what else we got today Luke Google calls for white house support to ensure that open source software projects are secure and you can mine crypto on your electric car

wow wow great I'm really excited about that I was just hoping that there would be more things I could mine crypto on let's roll that intro

yeah

the comments about you are so funny Luke has transcended

all right why don't we jump right into our first topic which is of course what the heck is going on with the stream today Luke is missing from the nipples down ladies and gentlemen look I'm holding him up I'm holding him up here

well thank you very much I appreciate where'd you go where'd you go dog there's a there's a person my household who is sick so we're trying to be safe so I'm staying home so I'm I'm telecommuting today

doing that safe stuff now there were a couple people asking well why the heck didn't line is just broadcast from home like you guys did and the answer is a because this is amazing

and B because my computer is hard core broken all right you're going to want to subscribe to my YouTube channel that's YouTube calm slash line is tech tips

okay if you guys weren't familiar my YouTube channel get subscribed over there because I'm going to have a YouTube short coming up over the weekend showing you guys the noise that my water cooling pump is making right now I can do the noise for you Luke do you want me to do the noise for you

yeah absolutely yes okay it sounds like this that sounds like a pretty cool car yeah that's the noise it makes and it actually it actually rattles my entire rack

the entire thing is shaking now I'm not crapping on the Lang D5 not by a long shot because that pump is probably nearly 15 years old

so it's done its time it's done it it's done its duty sir it is time to retire it so I've actually grabbed another one I just ripped it out of

some like pump reservoir combo thing that we had lying around at the office that has clearly never been used and I'm going to replace it and hopefully I'll have my computer up and running but my machine is not running so there was no way that we were going to be able to do this from home

now let's talk about the other big story of the week razor's masks allegedly not as safe as advertised the Zephyr and Zephyr Pro were originally marketed as N95 rated so N95 means that 95% of airborne particles should be filtered if you are wearing such a mask

but here's the thing they actually have to be tested and certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Naomi Wu aka sexy cyborg did a tear down and checked the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health to find out that the Zephyr's were not in fact and 95 rated

so razor said the filters used in the mask were tested for 95% particulate filtration efficiency but the mask itself is not and this is a problem for a number of reasons Luke why is that a problem okay if you have if I had an N95 filter on my head okay then is that an N95 face accessory

yes partially for sure absolutely done solved COVID solved problem see you later COVID this is this is going to fix the world I just changed the world right there I believe spider man's eye covers are N95

the the exhale port doesn't have anything stopping you from inhaling through it a bit of an issue so there's no filtration there the filters themselves are actually pretty small and breathing through the mask in general is more difficult than a proper mask there's also other bits of mass that you can breathe through that aren't covered by the filters themselves

razor is removing all N95 references from their website and marketing and customers who purchased a mask will be notified apparently okay so this is interesting we just got a merch message from Garrett I or L doesn't matter I asked for this pillow on Twitter in June oh wait so thanks okay oh about the expensive addition pillow we'll talk more about that later also razor is being a meany about the mask they are apparently refusing refunds according to this user

and only doing returns after I really through a fit apparently for reps said no so that is all allegedly at this time because I have no way of verifying that but if true that is not not cool right now if you pull the rug out from under your users in terms of the features
