WEBVTT

00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:05.919
could you like move this way a bit i mean

00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:12.160
wait for real what that's kanye west

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:20.480
that's pretty funny it's day five of techlink's coverage of ces our last

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

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:29.119
to go pella we gotta get out of here but first the

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:30.800
weirdest stuff episode ces is fantastic

00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:35.600
for showing off the newest technology but innovation doesn't always look

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:39.600
pretty or even makes sense so we're taking a look at some of the weirdest

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

00:00:42.239 --> 00:00:47.200
quick bits ready pella

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

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:54.079
the love ott a number of times in this channel already but i just wanted to

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:58.000
mention it again in the weirdest stuff episode like

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

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

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

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:16.720
bad mouths them you're like hey that's my robot pet baby speaking of

00:01:13.600 --> 00:01:18.400
babies babe buys is a small camera

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:22.560
designed to be stuck to your baby so you can record precious moments from the

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:26.159
baby's point of view the reasoning kind of makes sense people rarely remember

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:30.240
anything from their first few years of life so this is a way to preserve some

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:35.600
of those memories but would i want to remember my parents facial expressions

00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:37.680
as they were changing my diapers

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

00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.640
companionship companionship wrong it's

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:49.759
the tail obviously that's why japanese company

00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:54.720
yukai engineering made the kubo a furry pillow with an electronic tail that wags

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:58.320
when you stroke it and wags faster when you bop it

00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:02.320
that's the stupidest thing ever you're not sold and sometimes it wags for no

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

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

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

00:02:11.920 --> 00:02:18.480
cat like a real one you could take advantage of the little cat an exercise

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:22.080
wheel for felines with a laser pointer built right in trick your cat into

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:25.520
exercising until it collapses from exhaustion while you're at work you can

00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.800
even watch and laugh at your pet from a connected camera

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:34.319
pets are so stupid should have just gotten the furry alien pillow

00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:39.519
you like pets pella you like pets

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

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

00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:54.000
reads what happens on your iphone stays on your iphone well as troy wolverton at

00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:59.760
business insider points out that might be somewhat true for some iphone users

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:01.680
who don't use icloud and who don't

00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:05.519
search using google which is the default search engine on iOS and who don't use

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.560
facebook or any of the other apps from the companies you're throwing shade at

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

00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:20.319
like that doesn't make it a magically safe phone with impenetrable security so

00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:24.000
apple's advertising adage is about as true as the one about vegas what happens

00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:27.120
in vegas saying vegas about it does it they're gonna find out now before we

00:03:25.760 --> 00:03:31.680
continue down the weirdness list we gotta thank our sponsor c sonic who

00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:35.280
helped make techlink ces trip possible some companies try to be a jack of all

00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:40.080
trades and end up being a master of none but see sonic they make good power

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:44.560
supplies how long have they been making power supplies 40 years when you've been

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:48.319
engineering something for 40 years chances are you're pretty good at it sea

00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:51.599
sonic power supplies are dependable efficient and deliver outstanding

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:55.920
performance so if you need a psu for your next build or upgrade do yourself a

00:03:53.519 --> 00:04:00.319
favor and make it c-sonic guys check them out at the link below vr motion

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

00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:07.599
i wrote when i was gonna film this but i wrote that always think of me

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

00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.799
not the best idea but audi disagrees

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:20.239
it's co-founded a startup called hollowride to develop a vr game that

00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:22.000
uses their new e-tron's suv's movements

00:04:20.239 --> 00:04:24.479
to inform what the virtual experience looks like and the results are

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

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:33.199
cool at the same time i'm conflicted google amazon and

00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:36.880
facebook have made smart displays that are meant to sit in common areas in a

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.560
home like the living room or kitchen but ge is skipping all that and sticking a

00:04:38.880 --> 00:04:45.280
smart display right on kitchen appliances the kitchen hub is a 27-inch

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:49.600
Android-powered display meant to sit above your stove so grandma can guide

00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:53.360
you through making her special recipe as if you had captured her essence and

00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:57.199
imprisoned her in your stove speaking of ovens what if you didn't

00:04:54.800 --> 00:05:01.680
even need to cook your food yourself the whirlpool smart countertop oven has a

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:05.680
camera inside which will be able to scan and recognize select frozen foods

00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.759
automatically choosing the best settings to cook your tv dinner to absolute

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:13.840
perfection i can taste the slightly less rubbery

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:18.160
meat now here's something that's weird and cool as well the cosmo communicator

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:22.800
a flip phone with a physical keyboard an external mini display and two usb-c

00:05:20.960 --> 00:05:27.759
ports james took a look at it because he was baffled that so many people funded

00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:30.240
this device on indiegogo but walked away

00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:34.400
only slightly less confused and one thing i'm confused about is the welt a

00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:39.360
smart belt that takes health tracking features

00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:44.000
like steps taken and time spent inactive and adds active waist size tracking the

00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:48.400
name apparently came from combining the words wearable and belts

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:52.479
not from the brews you could get while using this as something other than a

00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:56.080
securing device but also something to think about regular belts that don't

00:05:54.479 --> 00:06:00.320
have fitness tracking are also wearables

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:04.000
and we already talked about kohler's nume 2.0 intelligent toilet but this is

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

00:06:06.479 --> 00:06:11.919
