could you like move this way a bit i mean
wait for real what that's kanye west
that's pretty funny it's day five of techlink's coverage of ces our last
episode of the week and as you can see we're pretty much ready to go you ready
to go pella we gotta get out of here but first the
weirdest stuff episode ces is fantastic
for showing off the newest technology but innovation doesn't always look
pretty or even makes sense so we're taking a look at some of the weirdest
tech at ces 2019 because there's a lot the whole episode is going to be one big
quick bits ready pella
you're not even paying attention he's on his phone now i know we've talked about
the love ott a number of times in this channel already but i just wanted to
mention it again in the weirdest stuff episode like
it's a pet baby and people seem to actually like it like what am i missing
here maybe i actually love the lavat and that's why it bugs me so much maybe we
have one of those complicated relationships like sometimes you want to kill your siblings but if someone else
bad mouths them you're like hey that's my robot pet baby speaking of
babies babe buys is a small camera
designed to be stuck to your baby so you can record precious moments from the
baby's point of view the reasoning kind of makes sense people rarely remember
anything from their first few years of life so this is a way to preserve some
of those memories but would i want to remember my parents facial expressions
as they were changing my diapers
i could do without it edsel what's the best thing about having a pet uh the
companionship companionship wrong it's
the tail obviously that's why japanese company
yukai engineering made the kubo a furry pillow with an electronic tail that wags
when you stroke it and wags faster when you bop it
that's the stupidest thing ever you're not sold and sometimes it wags for no
discernible reason at all you can't tell why it's wagging because it doesn't have
a face or limbs i mean if you're getting a love odd you might as well pick this
up too you know robot pet baby things gotta catch em all well if you do have a
cat like a real one you could take advantage of the little cat an exercise
wheel for felines with a laser pointer built right in trick your cat into
exercising until it collapses from exhaustion while you're at work you can
even watch and laugh at your pet from a connected camera
pets are so stupid should have just gotten the furry alien pillow
you like pets pella you like pets
and this isn't a weird product so much as it's a weird statement by apple you
might have seen that apple put up a giant ad that's directly visible from the ces main entrance where we are that
reads what happens on your iphone stays on your iphone well as troy wolverton at
business insider points out that might be somewhat true for some iphone users
who don't use icloud and who don't
search using google which is the default search engine on iOS and who don't use
facebook or any of the other apps from the companies you're throwing shade at
with this ad apple itself doesn't collect iphone users data and sell it to companies but
like that doesn't make it a magically safe phone with impenetrable security so
apple's advertising adage is about as true as the one about vegas what happens
in vegas saying vegas about it does it they're gonna find out now before we
continue down the weirdness list we gotta thank our sponsor c sonic who
helped make techlink ces trip possible some companies try to be a jack of all
trades and end up being a master of none but see sonic they make good power
supplies how long have they been making power supplies 40 years when you've been
engineering something for 40 years chances are you're pretty good at it sea
sonic power supplies are dependable efficient and deliver outstanding
performance so if you need a psu for your next build or upgrade do yourself a
favor and make it c-sonic guys check them out at the link below vr motion
sickness is a thing as ed can attest i didn't even know you would be here when
i wrote when i was gonna film this but i wrote that always think of me
i like it so you might think that adding vr headsets to the back seat of a car is
not the best idea but audi disagrees
it's co-founded a startup called hollowride to develop a vr game that
uses their new e-tron's suv's movements
to inform what the virtual experience looks like and the results are
apparently pretty good i have this thing on the weird list but it's kind of weird and
cool at the same time i'm conflicted google amazon and
facebook have made smart displays that are meant to sit in common areas in a
home like the living room or kitchen but ge is skipping all that and sticking a
smart display right on kitchen appliances the kitchen hub is a 27-inch
Android-powered display meant to sit above your stove so grandma can guide
you through making her special recipe as if you had captured her essence and
imprisoned her in your stove speaking of ovens what if you didn't
even need to cook your food yourself the whirlpool smart countertop oven has a
camera inside which will be able to scan and recognize select frozen foods
automatically choosing the best settings to cook your tv dinner to absolute
perfection i can taste the slightly less rubbery
meat now here's something that's weird and cool as well the cosmo communicator
a flip phone with a physical keyboard an external mini display and two usb-c
ports james took a look at it because he was baffled that so many people funded
this device on indiegogo but walked away
only slightly less confused and one thing i'm confused about is the welt a
smart belt that takes health tracking features
like steps taken and time spent inactive and adds active waist size tracking the
name apparently came from combining the words wearable and belts
not from the brews you could get while using this as something other than a
securing device but also something to think about regular belts that don't
have fitness tracking are also wearables
and we already talked about kohler's nume 2.0 intelligent toilet but this is
the weirdest stuff episode so i it's got to be in here so there it is
come on all right that's it for this episode guys and that's it for our time
