1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,919
could you like move this way a bit i mean

2
00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:12,160
wait for real what that's kanye west

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:20,480
that's pretty funny it's day five of techlink's coverage of ces our last

4
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,519
episode of the week and as you can see we're pretty much ready to go you ready

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:29,119
to go pella we gotta get out of here but first the

6
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,800
weirdest stuff episode ces is fantastic

7
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:35,600
for showing off the newest technology but innovation doesn't always look

8
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:39,600
pretty or even makes sense so we're taking a look at some of the weirdest

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:45,280
tech at ces 2019 because there's a lot the whole episode is going to be one big

10
00:00:42,239 --> 00:00:47,200
quick bits ready pella

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,800
you're not even paying attention he's on his phone now i know we've talked about

12
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:54,079
the love ott a number of times in this channel already but i just wanted to

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:58,000
mention it again in the weirdest stuff episode like

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:02,719
it's a pet baby and people seem to actually like it like what am i missing

15
00:01:00,239 --> 00:01:05,519
here maybe i actually love the lavat and that's why it bugs me so much maybe we

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:11,280
have one of those complicated relationships like sometimes you want to kill your siblings but if someone else

17
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:16,720
bad mouths them you're like hey that's my robot pet baby speaking of

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:18,400
babies babe buys is a small camera

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:22,560
designed to be stuck to your baby so you can record precious moments from the

20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,159
baby's point of view the reasoning kind of makes sense people rarely remember

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,240
anything from their first few years of life so this is a way to preserve some

22
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:35,600
of those memories but would i want to remember my parents facial expressions

23
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:37,680
as they were changing my diapers

24
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:43,439
i could do without it edsel what's the best thing about having a pet uh the

25
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,640
companionship companionship wrong it's

26
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:49,759
the tail obviously that's why japanese company

27
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:54,720
yukai engineering made the kubo a furry pillow with an electronic tail that wags

28
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:58,320
when you stroke it and wags faster when you bop it

29
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,320
that's the stupidest thing ever you're not sold and sometimes it wags for no

30
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:06,000
discernible reason at all you can't tell why it's wagging because it doesn't have

31
00:02:03,759 --> 00:02:09,679
a face or limbs i mean if you're getting a love odd you might as well pick this

32
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:14,239
up too you know robot pet baby things gotta catch em all well if you do have a

33
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:18,480
cat like a real one you could take advantage of the little cat an exercise

34
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:22,080
wheel for felines with a laser pointer built right in trick your cat into

35
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:25,520
exercising until it collapses from exhaustion while you're at work you can

36
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,800
even watch and laugh at your pet from a connected camera

37
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:34,319
pets are so stupid should have just gotten the furry alien pillow

38
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:39,519
you like pets pella you like pets

39
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:43,200
and this isn't a weird product so much as it's a weird statement by apple you

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:49,519
might have seen that apple put up a giant ad that's directly visible from the ces main entrance where we are that

41
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:54,000
reads what happens on your iphone stays on your iphone well as troy wolverton at

42
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:59,760
business insider points out that might be somewhat true for some iphone users

43
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:01,680
who don't use icloud and who don't

44
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,519
search using google which is the default search engine on iOS and who don't use

45
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,560
facebook or any of the other apps from the companies you're throwing shade at

46
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,959
with this ad apple itself doesn't collect iphone users data and sell it to companies but

47
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:20,319
like that doesn't make it a magically safe phone with impenetrable security so

48
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:24,000
apple's advertising adage is about as true as the one about vegas what happens

49
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,120
in vegas saying vegas about it does it they're gonna find out now before we

50
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:31,680
continue down the weirdness list we gotta thank our sponsor c sonic who

51
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:35,280
helped make techlink ces trip possible some companies try to be a jack of all

52
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:40,080
trades and end up being a master of none but see sonic they make good power

53
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:44,560
supplies how long have they been making power supplies 40 years when you've been

54
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,319
engineering something for 40 years chances are you're pretty good at it sea

55
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,599
sonic power supplies are dependable efficient and deliver outstanding

56
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,920
performance so if you need a psu for your next build or upgrade do yourself a

57
00:03:53,519 --> 00:04:00,319
favor and make it c-sonic guys check them out at the link below vr motion

58
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,280
sickness is a thing as ed can attest i didn't even know you would be here when

59
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:07,599
i wrote when i was gonna film this but i wrote that always think of me

60
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:12,879
i like it so you might think that adding vr headsets to the back seat of a car is

61
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,799
not the best idea but audi disagrees

62
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:20,239
it's co-founded a startup called hollowride to develop a vr game that

63
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,000
uses their new e-tron's suv's movements

64
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:24,479
to inform what the virtual experience looks like and the results are

65
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:29,440
apparently pretty good i have this thing on the weird list but it's kind of weird and

66
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,199
cool at the same time i'm conflicted google amazon and

67
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,880
facebook have made smart displays that are meant to sit in common areas in a

68
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,560
home like the living room or kitchen but ge is skipping all that and sticking a

69
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:45,280
smart display right on kitchen appliances the kitchen hub is a 27-inch

70
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,600
Android-powered display meant to sit above your stove so grandma can guide

71
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:53,360
you through making her special recipe as if you had captured her essence and

72
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,199
imprisoned her in your stove speaking of ovens what if you didn't

73
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,680
even need to cook your food yourself the whirlpool smart countertop oven has a

74
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:05,680
camera inside which will be able to scan and recognize select frozen foods

75
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:09,759
automatically choosing the best settings to cook your tv dinner to absolute

76
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,840
perfection i can taste the slightly less rubbery

77
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:18,160
meat now here's something that's weird and cool as well the cosmo communicator

78
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,800
a flip phone with a physical keyboard an external mini display and two usb-c

79
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:27,759
ports james took a look at it because he was baffled that so many people funded

80
00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:30,240
this device on indiegogo but walked away

81
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:34,400
only slightly less confused and one thing i'm confused about is the welt a

82
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,360
smart belt that takes health tracking features

83
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:44,000
like steps taken and time spent inactive and adds active waist size tracking the

84
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,400
name apparently came from combining the words wearable and belts

85
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,479
not from the brews you could get while using this as something other than a

86
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:56,080
securing device but also something to think about regular belts that don't

87
00:05:54,479 --> 00:06:00,320
have fitness tracking are also wearables

88
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:04,000
and we already talked about kohler's nume 2.0 intelligent toilet but this is

89
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:08,160
the weirdest stuff episode so i it's got to be in here so there it is

90
00:06:06,479 --> 00:06:11,919
