WEBVTT

00:00:02.320 --> 00:00:07.600
we're live welcome to the WAN Show ladies and

00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:13.200
gentlemen the show that didn't start on time because i was busy starting my

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:16.320
other thing late but i i'm also quite impressed at

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:20.240
how not late it is i was expecting starting at like 5 45. i went upstairs

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:25.199
and started to work i'm not really i was like all right

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.760
let's settle in for the winter oh man

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:34.239
but video sounded good stream sounded good yeah no i think i thought it was a

00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:38.160
good stream so we were um so ASUS made an overclocked well not overclocked but

00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:42.160
it has like a binned version of the snapdragon 855

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.160
phone and stupid

00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:57.039
a thick boy phone for thick boys yeah that's like that takes a bit to reach

00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:58.239
the top 6 000 milliamp hour battery wow

00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:01.600
check out the smoothness of the screen that's heavy oh it's nice i noticed that

00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.879
right away how refresh rate do you think it's running

00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:07.600
oh boy

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:15.200
he doesn't follow this stuff so no i can i can actually like quiz 120

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:21.360
yeah 120 OLED i genuinely didn't know at all

00:01:18.880 --> 00:01:27.280
just because yeah i don't follow it it's pretty like oh man look at that the low

00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:29.040
persistence too that is really nice

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.680
so cool i just have a hard time getting excited about phones speaking of things

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:37.520
to be excited about i'm kind of back into vr

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:40.159
yeah okay sorry hold on give me we'll talk about that later first i should

00:01:38.880 --> 00:01:45.680
probably go through what our topics are for today so i'm going to talk about being back into vr apple's autonomous

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:48.880
car was spotted a lot of uh speculation as to what exactly is going on with the

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:52.840
sensor arrays and all that kind of cool stuff on it there's a couple of folding

00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:57.920
phones launching in september apple and google are gonna

00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:02.799
potentially hand over gun scope app user data including like ip address and full

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.640
names and lots of other stuff and you can pay with your whole hand at whole

00:02:05.360 --> 00:02:10.239
foods see what i did there your whole get it

00:02:08.640 --> 00:02:14.520
because it takes a it's not just a fingerprint it's like the whole thing

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:33.280
uh agent 3105 says i just realized i

00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:39.519
haven't seen luke on the main youtube channel in a while

00:02:36.480 --> 00:02:41.760
all right agent um i think you better

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:45.440
find a new career is that like a slow poke meme

00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:49.519
is that slow poke me worthy because agent uh it's been like three years

00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.920
i think agent is probably the wrong pathway

00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:01.200
no investigation in your future with that said actually uh oh man see i've

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:05.360
got so much stuff to talk about this week that isn't like the next

00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:09.120
thing yeah okay we'll talk about it later let's get through this apple thing

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:12.720
because that's the title topic yes title topic give the people what they want i'm

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:16.560
not eating today actually wait is savage jerky a sponsor today

00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:20.480
um people not like that or something they get mad when i eat on stream

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:24.720
because some people apparently it's like something something phonia like they

00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:28.239
like it actually causes them physical pain to hear other people eating i'm

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:31.280
just glad they never had well because this mic picks up everything i'm just

00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:35.040
glad they never had to sit at a breakfast table with my dad

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:37.840
because oh i should clarify my stepdad so that

00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:43.200
you know okay so the way that that man eats cereal

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:48.400
it's disgusting like it's it's unwatchable it's unlisten

00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:54.480
to a bull he's like he's wanted he actually can't close his mouth to two

00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:56.720
because he needs it open to shovels

00:03:54.480 --> 00:04:00.720
it's like oh god you probably just you probably

00:03:58.959 --> 00:04:05.599
just did it right it's basically a food mashing machine that just kind of as for

00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:10.720
i don't even know if he swallows like i think he just drizzles the the cereal

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:15.640
the cereal scum back back down his throat and then processes it in his

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:15.640
entertainment

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:23.440
nick walks up scratches his head and just leaves it's a it's a bad time um anyway so i'm

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:27.840
trying i'm going to try not to eat them honestly guys i was just really hungry

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.960
last week i'm so sorry i didn't have time to eat i actually didn't have time

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:36.880
to eat today because fridays have been stupid over the last little bit um

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:42.440
but uh yeah i will try and do better so apple's autonomous car spotted the

00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:44.000
original article here is from 925

00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:47.759
mac.com and this is a pretty interesting car

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:53.919
because there is a possibility based on you know

00:04:52.080 --> 00:05:00.080
the pixels or whatever that we are looking at an all camera

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:01.840
setup with no lidar whatsoever so for

00:05:00.080 --> 00:05:07.840
those not familiar with the term lidar is a technology that uses lasers

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:10.800
to create what is essentially like a uh

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:14.240
a point map of the entire environment around the vehicle

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:19.120
that tells it really everything about the 3d space

00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:22.320
around it and can even allow in google's technology

00:05:20.479 --> 00:05:26.639
the reading of things like cyclists hand signals um i forget

00:05:25.039 --> 00:05:31.280
whether it was google or someone else's lidar tech but they were able to tell

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:35.680
the actual orientation of people standing on the side of the street so

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:39.520
not like which way they swing but more which way their body is likely to drift

00:05:38.400 --> 00:05:44.080
because you can tell which way they're facing that's probably a lot easier to do

00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:47.600
yeah yeah with that said i think with some people it's fairly obvious that's

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.960
fair because they like want you to know right you know but the the accuracy

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.639
percentage still wouldn't be that high yeah and well i mean there was that

00:05:52.880 --> 00:05:58.880
friend that i had in high school that was uh basically i didn't realize i had

00:05:56.960 --> 00:06:02.240
been invited out to a date i thought we were just like hanging out

00:06:00.320 --> 00:06:07.680
and going to a movie and then his mom was there and i was like oh okay that

00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:09.039
makes more sense now and um

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:12.960
afterward i like how the realization is just oh

00:06:10.960 --> 00:06:16.400
okay yeah yeah that was fine like we were still friends after and stuff like

00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:21.919
that it doesn't matter it's just like afterward um we had this conversation

00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:26.319
like this was like months later um that went something along the lines of like

00:06:24.880 --> 00:06:30.400
like sorry i'm like not

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:34.680
um and he's like well when you're ready to admit it to yourself let me know

00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:43.280
okay that's that's like

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:48.080
what does that even mean i don't know that's a little aggro

00:06:45.039 --> 00:06:50.479
that's like

00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:52.960
like he's attacking you and but like not even

00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:56.479
he's attacking you in a like you don't know yourself i think it's not that you

00:06:54.639 --> 00:07:00.560
don't know yourself i think it's like you know at that because remember we're

00:06:57.919 --> 00:07:04.160
like i don't know 17 or 16 or whatever probably not no probably not 17 because

00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:07.280
like neither of us would have had our mom

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:11.840
yeah yeah it wouldn't have been that old probably that's pretty cute no this must be like middle school just don't worry

00:07:10.479 --> 00:07:16.400
about it we needed to be driven okay we need to be driven but then i realized that she was there not just as a driver

00:07:14.880 --> 00:07:20.400
but more a chaperone that was right that was the difference okay um so so anyway

00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:25.199
you know like at that age a lot of people you know aren't ready to admit to

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:28.000
themselves like yeah they're they're sort of they're locked into sort of well

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:32.880
this is how it's supposed to be and therefore i must probably fit this mold like that

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:37.599
i don't know maybe maybe in 2019 this is all sounding very quaint but back in

00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:40.800
2002 that was a thing you know that was a thing here and i'm sure in a lot of

00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:46.960
places it's still very much like that but i don't know that it's necessarily

00:07:43.520 --> 00:07:49.199
um quite as big an issue here anyway

00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:56.240
i don't think so um so yeah anyway i don't remember how i go

00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:58.800
i have no right the lidar lidar lidar uh

00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:02.000
lidar right detecting orientation okay so let's why don't we consult the notes

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:09.120
so that we maybe stay out somewhere on topic here so apple has actually had self-driving

00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:13.280
car prototypes on the road before now we're not talking apple cars like apple

00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:18.879
didn't actually build the drive train but project titan modified cars exactly

00:08:16.479 --> 00:08:22.960
where they are where they are clearly very interested in the technology i mean

00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:27.759
this isn't their first foray into into transportation um you know apple maps as

00:08:26.080 --> 00:08:32.000
as bad as it was when it first launched has come a long way they're clearly

00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:36.240
committed to helping people get around being one of the most important things

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:39.519
that our mobile devices can do and as far as i can tell apple transitioned

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:43.680
from being a computer company apple computer into being an apple iphone

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:47.360
accessory company so if the latest iphone accessory happens to

00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:51.600
be a car that you plug it into i think that apple can apple can get on board

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:55.839
with that the iphone is the is the beating heart of that company right now

00:08:53.680 --> 00:08:59.839
so anyway the new setup has no obvious

00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:04.959
lidar devices could be an all-camera setup they recently poached tesla

00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:08.880
engineering vp steve mcmanus and increased the size of the test team so

00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:12.560
it seems they are still actively pursuing the project in one form or

00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:16.560
another although they did fire 200 employees assigned to project titan back

00:09:14.160 --> 00:09:21.839
in january so even knows who really knows what's going on over at

00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:25.680
apple until they tell us because they have some pretty good non-disclosure

00:09:23.920 --> 00:09:29.040
agreements as far as i can tell with that said i have never had the privilege

00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:33.200
of reading one because apple still doesn't reply to my messages actually oh

00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:36.880
this is this is great let me see if i i don't know if i have uh

00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:40.560
i don't know if i have the software that i would need to pull this up no i don't

00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:45.360
have that installed on this computer you know what i'm going to pull a um a faux

00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:50.240
pas ever since we leaked a bunch of financial data i was just going to say

00:09:46.959 --> 00:09:51.920
it might not be the best software to use

00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:55.839
at all don't worry about it while screen sharing yeah yeah no no i got it back to

00:09:53.920 --> 00:09:59.839
your personal laptop no you're gonna use it anyways no i got this um everything's

00:09:57.839 --> 00:10:06.640
fine so i actually want to share with you um my chat log with apple support

00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:12.399
when i reached out complaining that they actually don't have a press contact

00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:16.160
email on their website anymore there's just you can view the newsroom

00:10:14.560 --> 00:10:22.240
which is just articles that apple publishes about itself um but that's it

00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:25.839
there there's no actual hey i'm a member of the media and i would like to speak

00:10:23.680 --> 00:10:30.399
to a human being at apple iphone accessory inc um

00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:33.920
and uh maybe it's because you call them apple iphone accessory well i had never

00:10:32.079 --> 00:10:38.720
done that before today so that's obviously um nonsense maybe

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:44.079
it's because you spent seven years talking trash about them i have not spent seven years talking trash about

00:10:41.680 --> 00:10:49.440
them i gave the iphone 6s my phone of the year award it was a great phone and

00:10:47.760 --> 00:10:53.839
then they ruined it um

00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:59.680
case in point well no i'm just being honest i'm allowed to have an opinion so

00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.760
anyway um so i reached out to their live

00:10:59.680 --> 00:11:05.760
chat because drink that please i don't even know what's on there just there we

00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.279
go yeah so we good yeah okay so i need a dongle because you know what i'm i'm

00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:12.839
switching i'm not going to keep using the blade stealth 20 whatever year this

00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:16.320
came out i don't care it doesn't matter um too many dongles required so it

00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:20.000
doesn't have a native HDMI which i didn't consider while i was doing that

00:11:17.839 --> 00:11:24.720
video and more importantly i didn't notice the short shift

00:11:22.880 --> 00:11:29.760
it has an arrow key where the shift is which is basically the worst sin because

00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:34.399
i am constantly hitting both of them at the same time while i am typing which

00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:38.720
causes me to go up with shift which highlights everything which i then

00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:42.399
overwrite ah also my trackpad seems to be defective

00:11:40.079 --> 00:11:49.120
well that's not surprising so i'm late i'm done i'm done with this

00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:52.640
um i think uh dell actually sponsored a video but they have a really interesting

00:11:50.959 --> 00:11:56.320
looking laptop in the mail to me right now what was the failure rate of our

00:11:54.800 --> 00:11:59.839
internal blades i don't know forty percent something like that yeah that's

00:11:57.920 --> 00:12:05.920
not the point solid oh um one moment please sweet then it doesn't

00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:09.839
work that well give it give it a give it a sec okay give it a sec

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:15.120
i mean we're we're in a remote we're in a remote desktop

00:12:11.760 --> 00:12:16.560
connection elation mode right now here

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:20.480
um yeah why is that not working that shouldn't matter yeah that shouldn't

00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:27.700
matter at all okay hold on let's just try that again

00:12:31.839 --> 00:12:38.560
would have been great though yeah well you know i do i do aim to please

00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:44.079
there's so starcraft 2 has these packs that you can get that are like

00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:48.720
different people's voices and stuff so like you can have like a commentator

00:12:46.959 --> 00:12:52.639
cast your game for you or like someone else i would

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:55.680
actually run with like a Linus pack in Windows

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.880
so like whenever you unplug and plug things yeah

00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:05.880
every time an error message comes up it's i can't do that

00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:12.720
um i'm gonna restart your computer for totally no reason huh

00:13:13.920 --> 00:13:20.959
okay i would be much nicer about it

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:24.240
okay it's working now i couldn't careful yeah yeah i got this i got this a blue

00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.800
screen is just accompanied by a laugh trash okay so anyway

00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:33.200
i wanted to go to the september 10th iphone event because i'm gonna have to

00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:37.279
cover it anyway so i might as well just watch it from the audience instead of

00:13:35.839 --> 00:13:41.760
here in the comfort of my own home because i hate myself so

00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:45.839
i reached out to them and i had to i just had to reach out to like genius

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:49.839
support for like the iphone i was like i don't know my

00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:53.680
iphone won't update or something anyway so i um right because you have to give

00:13:52.079 --> 00:13:57.839
them a reason yeah you have to give a reason and the reason can't be i just

00:13:56.000 --> 00:14:02.399
want to talk to a human being at apple that is not the reason that you're that

00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:06.720
you may not provide that that reason uh so hold on a second i'm just gonna

00:14:03.839 --> 00:14:10.639
actually blank this out um i think this has leaked like a

00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:14.639
hundred times anyway yeah probably oh wait that's really good yeah that's

00:14:12.560 --> 00:14:19.360
really guessable uh

00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:22.959
sure sure you know what why don't we just take all the fun out of it there

00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:27.519
you go um confirm your apple id blee blah blah

00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:31.279
blah blah is this like are you allowed to share private community they recorded

00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:36.399
it and in canada uh it's single party consent

00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:40.399
so yes right but they consented to it and so

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:44.800
did i because they said they are recording it but i don't think they can

00:14:41.760 --> 00:14:47.760
send it to you recording i don't i don't

00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:50.800
care yeah um all right so i mean if they reach out that would

00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:54.880
probably be a good yeah maybe we could start with the communication right all

00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:58.839
right so anyway so so you've got to be kidding me

00:15:01.199 --> 00:15:03.600

just to ensure we're on the same page you would like to receive an invitation to go to the event in september however

00:16:49.040 --> 00:16:55.120
you're not sure what the process is and would like to find out yeah that's pretty much what i said thank you

00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:58.639
there's no obvious media contact on the site so i ended up coming through here

00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:01.600
i'd be more than happy to assist you to see how best we can work together in

00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:05.600
hopes of guiding you on a path to resolution where this issue you're

00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:10.000
having is concerned what even is that sentence that's amazing is it you're

00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:13.120
talking to a knight i know right is it okay if i ask a few

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:18.400
questions sure please confirm your apple id yep

00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:21.919
um i just clarified that i have no idea what apple id the phone that i used

00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:26.959
because i had to provide a serial number for a phone in order to talk to apple so i just grabbed one from my desk like i

00:17:25.520 --> 00:17:31.679
it's not in my daily driver phone i don't even think anything's logged into it

00:17:29.360 --> 00:17:35.520
that's okay is it okay if i place you on hold while i consult with my resources

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:39.280
to provide you with this information so about 10 minutes on hold it's not

00:17:37.280 --> 00:17:42.720
totally unreasonable i'm back i have consulted with my resources

00:17:41.760 --> 00:17:46.240
okay so you ask someone here's a link with

00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:49.840
the details to attend the function here's a big apple logo don't worry

00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:55.120
about that developer.apple.com

00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:56.960
wwdc19 which not only is not apple's

00:17:55.120 --> 00:18:00.160
september event policy um so it does have the policy for how

00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:05.919
you attend because you can pay to attend to wwdc but it's wwdc

00:18:03.520 --> 00:18:09.679
not the september launch event yeah completely different event

00:18:07.679 --> 00:18:13.360
i go okay that's wwdc is that the wrong link also i am press i am not a

00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:16.000
developer regarding the invite the seats are reserved for the press by invite

00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:23.280
only right that is the point of this conversation i

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:24.480
am the press i need a contacted apple

00:18:23.280 --> 00:18:31.039
i don't want to be pushy but it shouldn't be complicated for me to get immediate contact we have more views on

00:18:27.360 --> 00:18:31.039
our mac pronouncing video than you do

00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:37.120
apple would do that's pretty cool that's a good flex apple would be the one to

00:18:35.919 --> 00:18:41.520
reach out to members of the press with an invite as the function would be for selected members only well it would be

00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:45.520
hard for them to do that if they don't have my contact information and i don't

00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:48.880
have a press relations contact there tell you what i gotta run to a meeting

00:18:47.520 --> 00:18:53.600
oh bloody hell that's my email that's fine it's leaked a thousand times are we

00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:56.480
all set from here oh yeah this is great if they want to get in touch here's my

00:18:54.640 --> 00:19:03.120
email they go is are we all set from here i just want to know that you're comfortable with the steps i provided

00:19:00.080 --> 00:19:05.520
what steps i wasn't given any steps

00:19:03.120 --> 00:19:11.039
i need a media contact and that was in fact the end of that

00:19:08.840 --> 00:19:16.080
interaction um she did arrange to have a supervisor

00:19:14.080 --> 00:19:20.400
call me after um and they informed me actually i don't

00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:24.559
even remember how that conversation ended but basically

00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:27.760
no there was not in fact anything that they

00:19:25.760 --> 00:19:31.840
could or would do about it um they said oh right i do remember how it ended um

00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:35.760
it kind of went around in circles like that and then i said tell you what

00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:40.160
um oh i got an email right i emailed the

00:19:37.760 --> 00:19:44.640
email nope right okay so they said they would they would see if anyone said cool

00:19:43.280 --> 00:19:49.360
and then they gave me an email that i could contact um and then i emailed that

00:19:47.280 --> 00:19:53.760
email and i never heard back right i do remember now good so i i'm

00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:58.080
hopefully not misrepresenting that's uh how the way in which i was ignored

00:19:56.080 --> 00:20:01.280
that's a beautiful story um yeah i thought that was a pretty i thought that

00:19:59.440 --> 00:20:07.360
was a pretty heartwarming story too this bothers me um oh the fact that this is

00:20:03.919 --> 00:20:09.120
like a hard edge and it's brushed yeah i

00:20:07.360 --> 00:20:12.799
realize this i realize it's plastic it's not going to stain at least

00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:16.720
um anyway so i'm not going to the september event

00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:20.720
i don't remember how i got on that subject

00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.679
we were talking about apple autonomous vehicles it doesn't matter you know what

00:20:22.080 --> 00:20:26.720
nick's been waiting very patiently what can i do for you nick um it's actually

00:20:25.360 --> 00:20:31.039
nothing to do with the show and i just need to ask you something off camera oh

00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:37.440
uh okay this mic is aggressively sensitive yeah brb just like yeah

00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:40.320
i've noticed it pick up trucks outside be very careful

00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:45.679
i don't know what to talk about while they're gone because i don't know how long they're gonna be gone but probably

00:20:44.320 --> 00:20:50.559
the next thing we're gonna talk about is that there are two folding phones coming

00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:54.960
in september that's probably going to be the next

00:20:52.080 --> 00:20:58.480
topic the fold launched in korea today but i believe the they're launching in

00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:02.159
september thing is more talking about the north american market or else we

00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:06.720
would have said that it came out now huawei has confirmed the launch date for

00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:11.600
its next flagship phone line the mate 30 series will be unveiled in munich

00:21:09.360 --> 00:21:14.480
germany on september 19th so we'll figure that out soon maybe it won't be

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:18.880
september but we'll we'll figure it out soon oftentimes these events have been

00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:22.720
like and it's coming now or something so it'll it'll probably

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:26.880
be fairly soon samsung is finally ready to unveil their

00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:30.320
refined galaxy fold after an embarrassing initial rollout earlier

00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:34.400
this year that was played with multiple damage review units they said in july

00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:39.120
that the fold would be available in september so theoretically that's

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:43.120
now-ish which would be cool is everything all good uh yeah cool

00:21:41.760 --> 00:21:49.440
we're talking about two folding phones launching in september um yeah both of which were supposed to

00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:53.200
launch ages ago yeah um yeah so who knows if they'll even launch now well

00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:57.919
the full launch in korea already but then yeah it might unlaunch like

00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:03.120
the curious thing about all of this is that i haven't seen like they were

00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:07.919
treating the fold as this global launch event and press all over the world had

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:12.559
review units ahead of time so that there would be coverage so that people would

00:22:09.760 --> 00:22:16.000
get hyped about it so that they would um which was so suicidal so that they would

00:22:14.159 --> 00:22:18.799
be incentivized to go and buy it on launch date and most of them don't know

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:23.360
how volatile they were and now they've just no i i think they just didn't

00:22:21.840 --> 00:22:26.960
well i think the people making the decision just didn't

00:22:25.280 --> 00:22:30.640
accept it we've seen that a few times yeah we've seen that before yeah so this

00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:35.760
time it seems like they're doing a quiet launch and it is pretty common for um

00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:41.760
not just samsung i'm trying to think like other korean companies have done this before too to just quietly launch

00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:44.799
something in korea yeah where i don't know i guess their their

00:22:43.360 --> 00:22:49.840
customers are a little more forgiving if something sucks or the volumes are lower

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:52.000
so they can they can control the damage

00:22:49.840 --> 00:22:54.960
is definitely a disaster yeah yeah so it seems like they've just done a quiet

00:22:53.360 --> 00:22:58.640
launch in korea did you already cover the updates to this one

00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:02.159
uh no that's where i am okay cool so they did a quiet launch in korea and um

00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:07.200
seems like they've made a few changes so caps were added to the top and bottom edges of the hinge to seal off the gaps

00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:10.640
that previously might have allowed dust into the mechanism the layer that people

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:14.640
mistook for a screen protector and peeled off now extends beyond the edges

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:18.400
of the screen and tucks under the bezel so there aren't any bits exposed and

00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:22.400
they added layers of metal under the display to strengthen its protection and

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:26.159
hopefully make it so you won't be able to feel the machinery beneath the screen

00:23:24.159 --> 00:23:29.679
when you poke at it with the updates the fold also locks

00:23:27.840 --> 00:23:33.200
into place more rigidly than before and it's almost completely 180 degrees flat

00:23:31.919 --> 00:23:38.640
when it's open the stronger lock also makes the device less floppy when you're holding the open

00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:41.760
phone with one hand i love that they said that because this

00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:45.840
whole time i've been hoping that a derogatory term for these phones ends up

00:23:43.520 --> 00:23:50.320
being floppy phones floppy phones because it's just great flop phone

00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:54.559
that's not bad a flop phone yeah flip phone flap floam yeah flip-flop

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:57.919
i like it samsung also managed to reduce the gap between the folds hinge and body

00:23:56.320 --> 00:24:02.080
so it isn't as thick when it's closed as it was before no word on when the

00:23:59.919 --> 00:24:05.760
rollout will be expanded to the us and internationally um now we should go

00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:09.919
through our sponsor bits and then what were those topics that i wanted to talk about i want to talk about how i'm like

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:13.200
into vr again and then there's another thing i know the vr thing what was the other

00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:18.720
one ah maybe someone maybe someone in chat remember oh uh we're doing a video soon

00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:22.559
oh yeah okay so we'll talk about that after we go through our sponsors uh the

started backing up because when you don't back up you can potentially have a

00:25:04.159 --> 00:25:12.000
very very bad time we're not yet but we've been considering potentially

00:25:09.360 --> 00:25:15.279
maybe possibly working with backblaze as Floatplane oh really yeah oh that's

00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:19.679
pretty cool it's been considered that would be great it's been tabled

00:25:17.840 --> 00:25:25.279
they haven't like gone anywhere but i found it interesting that they're a sponsor yeah brushbox freshbooks is the

00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:28.640
super simple to use invoicing tool for freelancers and small business owners or

00:25:27.120 --> 00:25:32.799

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:45.200
don't miss a follow-up for example like

00:25:43.679 --> 00:25:48.480
it'll tell you when a client opens your invoice for the first time their mobile

00:25:47.120 --> 00:25:51.840

pulseway.com or through our link in the video description

00:26:35.360 --> 00:26:41.520
in the defense of the writing of that i think if someone's going to use pulse away they can probably assume what we're

00:26:39.520 --> 00:26:44.400
most at remote desktop functionality could benefit them okay i got a super

00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:48.880
chat here that i actually want to talk about this is quintuplet back at ces you

00:26:47.120 --> 00:26:52.960
were super hyped about high senses double lcd uled technology will you ever

00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:58.080
review one of their tvs um

00:26:54.320 --> 00:26:58.080
i don't know how much i can say

00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:03.279
because i've signed an nda

00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:09.039
but i am still

00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:13.760
i feel exactly the same way about uled technology as i did

00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:18.320
and when and if hisense were to ever release any kind of product based around

00:27:16.080 --> 00:27:23.919
that technological concept um i would be super amped to check it

00:27:21.760 --> 00:27:28.400
out especially if they had some like really

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:30.720
good ideas for how they could make it better

00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:39.600
next topic uh yeah let's move on apple and google to hand over guns no i want

00:27:37.120 --> 00:27:44.240
to talk about vr okay we did we did the title topic yeah we did the title topic

00:27:41.919 --> 00:27:47.360
so like it's cool again it's kind of cool again

00:27:46.159 --> 00:27:53.039
yeah um i'm getting back into it too i think

00:27:50.320 --> 00:27:57.039
taking a break was the right idea and then now i'm genuinely re-excited about

00:27:55.039 --> 00:28:01.520
things because a bunch of really interesting stuff has happened so index

00:28:00.159 --> 00:28:06.159
is a legit second gen experience five pro

00:28:03.919 --> 00:28:09.200
was not i was really upset about vive pro because

00:28:07.600 --> 00:28:14.799
it was like everything i didn't

00:28:11.919 --> 00:28:18.559
ask for and nothing that i did ask okay one thing i asked for okay the the

00:28:16.320 --> 00:28:26.960
screen resolution was better but vive pro by by htc's own admission was

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:29.679
vive but professional it was not vive ii

00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:33.919
and i wanted an upgrade like when did the htc vive come out let's just check

00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:38.240
this uh 2014.

00:28:36.159 --> 00:28:42.640
htc vive release date

00:28:39.840 --> 00:28:46.399
like it was a long freaking time ago i don't think it was 2014. it was like

00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:52.080
2016. 2016. why is my interwebs taking so long

00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:56.960
oh yeah no dang it i'm gonna re-guess at 2015.

00:28:55.520 --> 00:29:02.080
what you don't just get to re-guess okay okay

00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:06.000
okay okay i was thinking of besides you're gonna be right if i went over

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:09.840
anyway because price is right rules oh apparently all right that's fine i

00:29:07.840 --> 00:29:12.399
can oh wait are we still we are still transmitting from the desktop cool okay

00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:19.120
well i don't know how that works well maybe the wi-fi was doing again that's fine uh htc i'm on my mobile data

00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:22.880
it's fine i got this mobile htc vive release date um

00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:25.600
oh man 2016.

00:29:24.399 --> 00:29:31.679
you're right heck yeah wow i'm awesome i thought it was so long ago but i'm thinking i think

00:29:29.120 --> 00:29:37.039
crystal cove dev kits went out in august and september of 2015. um

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:41.200
but like that's still a long time ago yeah that's

00:29:39.520 --> 00:29:46.399
like three years ago so when the vive pro came out like i i was i was

00:29:43.520 --> 00:29:51.120
expecting vr to be like this rapidly iterating technology because

00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:56.240
around that time that was in the midst of the mobile

00:29:53.840 --> 00:30:01.760
display pixel density race right like that was when you know sony

00:29:59.200 --> 00:30:07.120
was shipping a 4k phone and i was like

00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:11.360
screens they're going to get super dense and an OLED technology it's going to be

00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:15.760
super low persistence and like it's going to be it's going to be

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:19.279
flipping awesome and then it just

00:30:15.760 --> 00:30:23.679
stopped in 2017 i guessed five years

00:30:19.279 --> 00:30:26.000
for what for vr to like really be poppin

00:30:23.679 --> 00:30:30.320
yeah i can see that uh they they crossed the one percent threshold for install

00:30:28.320 --> 00:30:35.440
base in the steam hardware survey not bad heck yeah uh working on it um and more

00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:40.640
importantly some of the technologies that i did not

00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:45.120
have a lot of faith in are starting to show promise so have you

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:48.320
tried the oculus quest no but i've read a lot about it i

00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:52.559
haven't tried it myself and i've talked to a guy that uses it

00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:55.600
basically all the time okay it's only 72 hertz or whatever do you know the

00:30:53.600 --> 00:30:58.320
picture of the guy and his son standing by their tesla at a tesla charging

00:30:57.120 --> 00:31:02.320
station and they're both playing the quest it went trending not that long ago no i

00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:07.440
didn't see that oh i like hung out with him for a while he's actually really cool he actually

00:31:04.960 --> 00:31:12.240
lives locally but yeah anyways so the quest

00:31:10.320 --> 00:31:16.559
it's only 72 hertz it's running on like

00:31:13.840 --> 00:31:22.240
snapdragon 835 or whatever like it's not even is it 8 35

00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:28.480
oculus quest snap dragon

00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:29.760
is it 8 45 it's not 8 55 that's for sure

00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:38.080
uh oh eight no 8 35 yeah 835 um

00:31:34.080 --> 00:31:38.080
ancient technology and mobile

00:31:39.120 --> 00:31:44.640
but depending on the type of game not

00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:47.679
everything is a great experience but depending on the type of game

00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:52.799
it is shockingly good and not having the the

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:57.039
weight of the and the inconvenience of the tether

00:31:53.760 --> 00:31:59.679
yeah like it is so much better than the

00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:03.519
mobile based vr experiences that i had had in the past

00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:09.679
just garbage that i was blown away like the tracking is so

00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:10.880
good and after my experience with i'm

00:32:09.679 --> 00:32:15.519
saying a lot of the things that i'm going to repeat in my upcoming review of

00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:18.480
the rift s as well as the upcoming uh video

00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:22.080
Floatplane i'm sorry i think it's on Floatplane right uh

00:32:20.080 --> 00:32:25.519
yes quest okay rift s i have not actually shot but i have fully written i

00:32:23.760 --> 00:32:28.960
finished writing it last night um

00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:33.519
so yeah there's a plug for Floatplane if you subscribe on Floatplane it's like

00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:35.279
weekish early access and occasional uh

00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:38.720
exclusive content we're not trying to oversell it it's a way to support minus

00:32:37.120 --> 00:32:43.039
tech tips the meet the team videos are pretty cool um

00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:48.640
so the tracking on it the the the the freedom of being able to

00:32:45.679 --> 00:32:51.840
like wander around in a gigantic play space

00:32:49.600 --> 00:32:57.279
uh compared to what i'm used to because i mean theoretically on my index yeah i

00:32:54.559 --> 00:33:00.640
could have like a 15 by 15 play space or whatever the stupid like maximum size is

00:32:59.360 --> 00:33:04.640
ridiculous with what tether yeah

00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:08.399
what like powered active DisplayPort repeaters every five meter like what

00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:12.159
it's not even like it's not even a real conversation

00:33:10.080 --> 00:33:15.679
you know what i mean yeah yeah um because wireless isn't feasible for it

00:33:13.919 --> 00:33:20.480
yet the the resolution and refresh rate are just too high it's too much bandwidth until we get another revision

00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:25.760
of 60 60 gigahertz wi-fi

00:33:22.840 --> 00:33:29.840
um so it was just kind of surreal and playing something like beat saber which

00:33:27.600 --> 00:33:33.519
i always come back to because it's casual enough that it runs on mobile

00:33:31.840 --> 00:33:38.640
hardware but it's hardcore enough in that it is like a genuinely skill

00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:42.080
requiring game yeah yeah um solo competitive it's and it's very sensitive

00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:45.760
to uh uh

00:33:44.320 --> 00:33:49.919
to errors in tracking for the controllers or for latency issues i like

00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:55.120
playing it's great it's great for certain experiences

00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:57.519
that's cool and after my experience with Windows mixed reality right that's where

00:33:56.320 --> 00:34:02.480
i was going with that i had no faith in inside out tracking

00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:06.640
i thought it was dead on arrival i was like they will not fix the

00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:09.520
occlusion issues uh they will not fix the drift

00:34:07.679 --> 00:34:14.560
we're done here i'm so okay i was very pessimistic i wasn't

00:34:12.240 --> 00:34:17.359
okay well then you were smarter than me good for you

00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:20.000
hooray i'm just i didn't i haven't heard you

00:34:18.720 --> 00:34:25.440
say that before that's why i'm surprised i thought outside in was always going to

00:34:21.919 --> 00:34:25.440
be the premium experience

00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:31.520
it is though still but

00:34:28.720 --> 00:34:35.200
rift s have you tried it uh okay

00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:38.800
okay still no but there was one at pax that my brother tried and there was

00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:42.960
clear and obvious issues with it okay but was that at pax

00:34:40.720 --> 00:34:46.879
no it was because of the headset because there are areas where it doesn't

00:34:44.879 --> 00:34:50.639
track well you should come over and try sure or just take it home it's

00:34:49.040 --> 00:34:55.280
my office it has to come back on monday because i'm shooting that video online there's like no room in my house there's

00:34:53.359 --> 00:34:58.720
like no point okay well the thing about the rift s though

00:34:56.800 --> 00:35:01.200
is that it doesn't need room

00:34:59.920 --> 00:35:05.359
you just put it up yeah okay i can't there's no

00:35:03.359 --> 00:35:08.000
light houses i could test the if i wonder if i could get them to send me

00:35:06.640 --> 00:35:11.839
the build of the game but there's there was a football game okay and the whole

00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:14.800
idea was it was sevens football so it's passing only and all this kind of stuff

00:35:13.359 --> 00:35:17.599
i don't know the name of it i'm sorry if you're watching this um but they were at

00:35:16.640 --> 00:35:23.280
pax they're releasing the game relatively soon i think but so you're the quarterback you have to throw the

00:35:20.640 --> 00:35:27.200
ball okay and the only way they're able to run it yeah okay it's because you go

00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:31.440
here and you can throw it so the whole time i was like why did you guys bring

00:35:28.720 --> 00:35:34.000
this headset like what this is so cause you watch everyone play this football

00:35:32.720 --> 00:35:38.400
game and they're like yeah it tracks properly if you throw the ball properly we have it modded right now so you can

00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:42.000
go beep i'm like that's so dumb

00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:47.440
okay there are games that have issues

00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:52.320
i will give you that yeah none of the things i play regularly

00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:55.599
the only thing i'm saying is you said okay i i thought uh

00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:59.200
the the other version of tracking would always be better i'm like well yeah

00:35:57.680 --> 00:36:04.160
i think that's probably something because because the thing too is that

00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:06.960
the rift s and the quest get a lot of their location data from the

00:36:05.520 --> 00:36:10.880
accelerometer and gyroscope in the controller i don't

00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:15.359
think it's unsolvable so it's it's solvable and then what it's doing is

00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:21.280
it's using the constellation map uh from the headset to the controllers yeah to

00:36:17.680 --> 00:36:22.880
correct yeah so as long as you are only

00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:27.119
occluded for a short period of time theoretically it should be fine and

00:36:25.520 --> 00:36:31.359
in my experience using it in my living room it was very good i did get some

00:36:29.839 --> 00:36:35.200
glitchiness like when i'd first put it on um

00:36:33.520 --> 00:36:39.440
but then it would kind of settle in

00:36:37.599 --> 00:36:45.200
and i couldn't i couldn't tell in fact hollow ball is a game that i have kind

00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:47.760
of used as my benchmark for um

00:36:45.200 --> 00:36:51.680
controller tracking yeah because i as a badminton player i tend to i tend to

00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:55.520
flick my wrist rather than swing my ARM okay when i'm

00:36:53.440 --> 00:37:00.000
trying to hit a ball yeah um and that game is obviously designed around a

00:36:57.839 --> 00:37:04.240
tennis swing an ARM swing because otherwise it is utterly hopeless at

00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:08.240
tracking where your hand is it's too fast right and so i like i can swing

00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:13.920
right through the ball i can watch the paddle go through like it just doesn't work yeah yeah um

00:37:11.680 --> 00:37:17.359
and what i found was on the rift s i was way more likely to hit the ball

00:37:16.560 --> 00:37:21.280
like worlds more likely and oculus claims or

00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:24.320
i should say facebook at this point their last founding member was out as of

00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:29.440
i think like a couple weeks ago oh really yeah uh so facebook claims that

00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:33.520
they are updating their location with one millisecond granularity now it's not

00:37:31.839 --> 00:37:37.040
a perfect update because if you can see the racket go through the ball i'm

00:37:35.359 --> 00:37:41.359
suspecting this is a collision issue and not a tracking issue could be if you see

00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:45.280
the racket go through the ball okay i should clarify i see where the racket is

00:37:44.240 --> 00:37:49.359
okay i see that i followed through and i see

00:37:47.680 --> 00:37:54.560
that the ball went through where i was going so no it's not like i see the

00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:58.480
models yeah yeah yeah yeah okay um but so on there so anyway so it's every it's

00:37:56.400 --> 00:38:01.839
30 times a second with the camera so that's where it's checking for drift

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:05.680
yeah and then it's apparently i have no way of validating it but

00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:08.640
apparently millisecond granularity from the gyroscope yeah and accelerometer

00:38:07.359 --> 00:38:14.240
seems controlling um and i did find that it was better

00:38:12.720 --> 00:38:18.400
that's cool but they dropped it to 80 hertz um

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:23.200
yeah and like i you were there the second i put the index on

00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:26.960
holy crap it's so it's so much better intensely noticeable

00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:31.839
the the the resolution the refresh rate everything it's it's amazing even the

00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:34.880
the like safe zones i have a really hard problem with headsets where if they're

00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:39.920
not tilted and not tilted to the exact specification

00:38:37.680 --> 00:38:42.720
and exactly far enough away then they look like they look terrible to me right

00:38:41.520 --> 00:38:47.280
it's probably because my eyes suck but whatever and then the index it didn't

00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:50.160
really matter i threw it on and while it was coming on i was like everything's

00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:54.960
perfect and then i sit it down i'm like everything's still perfect but it's a

00:38:53.520 --> 00:38:59.599
thousand dollars yeah it's a thousand dollars anyway all of this is why i'm

00:38:57.440 --> 00:39:04.800
really excited about what's happening right now because we finally have a real

00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:08.240
upgrade at the high end yeah index yeah um

00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:10.079
and a good solid solution that isn't there

00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:14.800
yes because i've always kind of detested i

00:39:12.640 --> 00:39:18.960
remember i made a big part in a video about this a long time ago um about how

00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:23.680
i was kind of annoyed with all these different phone companies and stuff

00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:27.599
advertising mobile vr so i was like now everyone's gonna think

00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:31.040
this is what vr is yep and that was really frustrating but hopefully we're

00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:34.720
leaving that era where vr is just good

00:39:35.359 --> 00:39:40.560
um okay uh hey someone pointed out in

00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:46.000
the uh super chats that uh the apple media helpline is apparently listed on

00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:48.720
apple.com leadership which has all their

00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:52.880
executives and their uh board of directors

00:39:50.720 --> 00:39:57.119
um yes that's just help that's not it is indeed like it's a it's a generic thing

00:39:55.520 --> 00:40:00.560
yeah yeah but i believe that is actually the email address that i was eventually

00:39:58.720 --> 00:40:04.720
provided so thank you um that is legitimately quite

00:40:03.119 --> 00:40:10.400
helpful i appreciate it um thank you for the super chat

00:40:07.040 --> 00:40:12.960
unfortunately i i doubt i mean i i i

00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:17.920
will call it i'll call it oh yeah yeah i'll see you she should call it now

00:40:15.680 --> 00:40:21.200
should i i think that would be great i think that would be awesome all right

00:40:19.040 --> 00:40:24.880
they're probably closed but like why i don't know i don't know i mean

00:40:23.520 --> 00:40:27.680
give it a shot like 47 billion dollars in the bank

00:40:26.640 --> 00:40:33.520
actually i think it's a lot more than that i think that's uh facebook that has about 45 billion in the bank right now

00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:38.320
i don't remember how much apple has i'm sure they can afford to pay someone

00:40:35.520 --> 00:40:42.880
to answer important media inquiries late at night 285.1 billion dollars

00:40:43.839 --> 00:40:49.119
all right so i'm not going to put them on speaker

00:40:47.680 --> 00:40:53.839
until i get consent here do you want to cover the next news topic sure yeah yeah

00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:57.599
okay we could do an apple topic

00:40:55.599 --> 00:41:01.359
apple and google to hand over gun scope app user data so this gun scopes they

00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:05.040
could like uh i believe they could be remotely viewed

00:41:03.520 --> 00:41:09.280
so you could like see through the gun scope on your phone or something like

00:41:06.720 --> 00:41:12.720
that and they have some other kind of neat information

00:41:10.880 --> 00:41:17.680
the information that they're potentially passing forward the us government has

00:41:15.040 --> 00:41:23.280
ordered them to hand over hand over names phone numbers and ip addresses of

00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:27.119
at least 10 000 users of a single gun scope app made by night vision

00:41:25.040 --> 00:41:31.280
specialist american technologies network corp i'm assuming they weren't there uh

00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:35.680
it's just a voicemail where you leave your email address your message your

00:41:33.359 --> 00:41:39.520
name and your media outlet number which is i clearly don't have nice um

00:41:38.720 --> 00:41:45.920
and they will get back to you ultimately you can email media.help apple.com

00:41:43.839 --> 00:41:49.599
awesome so basically it's effectively emailing them yes

00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:54.319
uh so the the app specifically allowed them to get a live stream of the scope

00:41:51.520 --> 00:41:59.280
take video like so record the scope i guess and calibrate their scope from an

00:41:56.319 --> 00:42:03.119
Android or iphone device it's been downloaded more than 10 000 times on

00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:06.400
Android apple doesn't provide the numbers

00:42:04.640 --> 00:42:11.440
ice or immigration and customs enforcement is seeking information as

00:42:09.040 --> 00:42:16.000
part of a broad investigation into possible breaches of weapons export

00:42:13.520 --> 00:42:18.640
regulations so i think the idea is they're trying to figure out where these

00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:23.280
things are getting registered so they can figure out if they're getting sold somewhere that they shouldn't be being

00:42:21.680 --> 00:42:26.880
sold if that makes sense i believe that is

00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:31.440
the that is the goal if apple and google decide to hand over

00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:36.880
the information it could include data on thousands of people who have nothing to

00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:38.960
do with the crimes being investigated um

00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:42.640
which could it says in here set a dangerous precedent yeah it's

00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:46.400
pretty interesting unless there's like some form of disgus

00:42:45.040 --> 00:42:49.599
i don't know this is getting into weird law stuff but they should i guess tell

00:42:48.319 --> 00:42:53.200
you maybe you have to i don't know that's

00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:57.040
really weird i have no idea i don't know how american laws work i'm not gonna say

00:42:54.640 --> 00:43:00.720
anything um so there are reports online that have

00:42:58.720 --> 00:43:04.319
claimed that atn scopes were being used by the taliban which would obviously be

00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:08.319
a bit of a problem but how could you prove because couldn't someone just buy

00:43:06.160 --> 00:43:12.000
it in america and just ship it somewhere it's a scope is it illegal to ship that

00:43:10.319 --> 00:43:15.760
somewhere i have no idea maybe it is well there's lots of things that are

00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:19.599
illegal to ship to like it's actually in the end user license agreement that you

00:43:17.359 --> 00:43:26.000
can't okay so for example we have um a thermal camera yeah that we had to sign

00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:27.040
a very long and detailed document saying

00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:31.200
that it will be in our possession only and if

00:43:29.520 --> 00:43:35.359
it is ever not in our position we need to in our possession we need to return

00:43:33.040 --> 00:43:40.560
it and that we will not use it in any way to aid help a bet or whatever um

00:43:38.640 --> 00:43:44.800
terrorist activity or any of these industries or whatever else like wow

00:43:42.560 --> 00:43:47.839
there is equipment that is tightly regulated like that i could see

00:43:46.240 --> 00:43:51.359
something like um weapons scope be part of it yeah that

00:43:49.839 --> 00:43:54.720
makes sense being the kind of thing that comes with uh

00:43:52.839 --> 00:43:57.839
uh i used to i was just thinking i will not give it to a terrorist to shoot

00:43:56.160 --> 00:44:02.880
people if something is being used somewhere it's hard to say that the

00:43:59.920 --> 00:44:06.160
company that sells it is at fault like what wasn't the

00:44:04.240 --> 00:44:09.520
was it isis driving a whole fleet of toyota trucks

00:44:07.680 --> 00:44:13.440
i don't i don't remember like is that toyota's fault i don't think so i don't

00:44:11.520 --> 00:44:18.720
know it depends if the toyota sent a sales rep over there like hey want a

00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:23.280
deal wanna want a bunch of trucks i just i don't know i this is way beyond me but

00:44:21.040 --> 00:44:27.839
i think it's a little funky like hey some people are using it that

00:44:24.880 --> 00:44:31.680
means you did illegal things oh well

00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:34.800
paying with your hand yeah paying with your hand at whole foods so amazon is

00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:37.800
testing a payment system code named orville

00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:44.720
that scans here i mean i mean isn't that just spookily close to

00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:48.720
orwell yeah like is that where you that was a bad idea i

00:44:46.319 --> 00:44:52.319
did too it scans human hands to ring up their purchases

00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:56.160
they're reportedly using their new york employees as guinea pigs by installing

00:44:54.160 --> 00:45:00.160
the system on a handful of perhaps a joke handful a vending machine selling

00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:04.160
chips sodas and phone chargers in their offices unlike most biometric systems

00:45:02.720 --> 00:45:06.960
that require you to touch the surface of the scanner amazon's take on the

00:45:05.839 --> 00:45:12.079
technology doesn't need you to physically touch anything they use computer vision and depth

00:45:10.240 --> 00:45:15.520
geometry to identify the size and shape of your hand before charging the credit

00:45:13.680 --> 00:45:18.960
card you have on file wow furthermore you don't even need to have

00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:23.119
your phone with you when you shop so this could make shopping at whole foods

00:45:20.720 --> 00:45:26.560
even more seamless than at amazon go stores you need to be a prime member for

00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:30.480
hand-based payments to work um

00:45:28.720 --> 00:45:33.040
it's possible they decided to give customers the option to pay with their

00:45:31.839 --> 00:45:36.880
hands instead of their face because it would feel less like a mug shot and now

00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:40.400
they can recommend you the perfect size gloves

00:45:38.720 --> 00:45:44.880
possibly even figure out basic nutritional health data so they can

00:45:41.839 --> 00:45:46.400
recommend you different drugs and

00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:51.040
nutritional supplements and what kind of condoms you need not that it's proportional

00:45:51.839 --> 00:45:56.640
uh amazon is reportedly hoping to roll the technology out to a handful of whole

00:45:55.280 --> 00:46:01.599
foods stores by the beginning of next year with no specific locations in

00:45:58.839 --> 00:46:05.920
mind and they're refining it so they can bump the accuracy up from within one ten

00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:09.280
thousandth of an inch or sorry one ten thousandth of one

00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:13.599
percent to a millionth of one percent before launch that is incredible that's

00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:16.880
pretty nuts all right then that's pretty much it for the lan show yeah i

00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:22.400
appreciate you guys tuning in we'll see you again next week same bats time same

00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:22.400
bad channel bye

00:46:24.240 --> 00:46:27.800
dang oh wait

00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:36.079
can james do another laptop replacement style video of the samsung tab s6 like

00:46:33.920 --> 00:46:40.720
he did for the ipad pro did james do that i thought riley wrote

00:46:37.839 --> 00:46:45.440
our ipad pro video either way uh we thought about it we just

00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:48.079
really didn't care um

00:46:46.800 --> 00:46:53.200
i don't know how to i don't know how to say that more kindly

00:46:50.240 --> 00:46:57.599
um 39 says what does this button do it gives us money thanks

00:46:55.359 --> 00:47:02.880
ah dbb blaine i'll give you 20 more to eat an entire

00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:06.240
bag of jerky on air hold on a second are you gonna do it

00:47:04.160 --> 00:47:08.880
well only if there's that's a lot of jerky only if there's flavors i really

00:47:08.000 --> 00:47:14.240
like okay oh there's no jerky on hand oh wait is

00:47:12.720 --> 00:47:18.400
there jerky over there one moment please they didn't sponsor this show i know

00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:23.040
that's fine i don't care oh wow there's a lot of jerky here

00:47:21.040 --> 00:47:27.760
if there's maple buffalo bacon i will eat the whole thing

00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:32.720
in one handful have you seen the wow yeah i'm doing it is that maple okay oh

00:47:30.160 --> 00:47:36.560
yeah oh i'm so excited okay how many how many yeah

00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:41.040
how how like what's the nutritional information on an entire bag of jerky um

00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:45.440
here we go per serving size okay servings per

00:47:43.200 --> 00:47:51.359
container two so this will be sixteen percent of my daily total fat um

00:47:48.560 --> 00:47:55.839
ten grams not as bad as i thought uh three percent of my daily or six percent

00:47:53.119 --> 00:48:01.359
of my cholesterol a whopping 70 percent of my daily sodium intake there we go

00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:04.240
10 grams of carbohydrate including uh oh that's 10 grams of sugars and 5 grams

00:48:03.200 --> 00:48:07.680
of protein that could be a lot worse yeah

00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:11.599
i mean that's sort of the idea behind savage turkey not that i have to do their talking points because they didn't

00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:15.920
sponsor the show today but like yep that's true it's not that bad yeah um

00:48:14.720 --> 00:48:23.520
all right this is going to be a little messy because this one's kind of like oily a broken tv

00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:28.960
in one in one shot i am not sure if i had completely thought this through that

00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:31.599
is a lot of bacon um

00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:35.520
a broken tv says can i do one serving there's two servings per bag can i just

00:48:33.119 --> 00:48:39.200
do half of that i think i think there's like a level of challenge or disgusting

00:48:37.680 --> 00:48:41.839
and you got to figure out where on that makes the most sense he's doing the

00:48:40.720 --> 00:48:46.319
whole thing no he's doing one serving

00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:50.480
he did two thirds of the package i would say

00:48:48.160 --> 00:48:55.200
okay that was a huge amount

00:48:52.720 --> 00:49:00.440
that was the lion's share of the of the bacon all at once i'm so happy going on

00:49:02.240 --> 00:49:09.200
i'm gonna keep doing super chats uh a broken tv have you seen the

00:49:05.839 --> 00:49:11.920
microsoft musical their interns made no

00:49:09.200 --> 00:49:17.920
that sounds interesting uh the usual gaming pc and one piece of the wire

00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:22.640
large atx cases still the standard i think in my opinion being able to mess

00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:25.920
around with things is cool and nice and people don't want to have to limit

00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:29.520
themselves and if they have the space for that tower

00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:33.760
then whatever because the cases don't really cost much more

00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:36.559
the hardware doesn't really cost much more

00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:41.599
if anything in a lot of cases possibly cheaper because they're more common

00:49:39.520 --> 00:49:45.359
also using your old case is a thing that i suspect

00:49:43.680 --> 00:49:50.240
quite a few people actually do um especially having gone to quite a few

00:49:48.240 --> 00:49:54.559
lands now it's like wow yeah that's from uh

00:49:51.520 --> 00:49:56.319
that's from the early 2000s yeah exactly

00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:59.040
and it has modern hardware in it cool i am still planning to review the chevy

00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:02.960
volt um as for the regular like trade-ins and

00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:07.440
doing car review videos obviously i like didn't get around to that um

00:50:05.839 --> 00:50:10.319
i still kind of want to do it you still do you can do like a car review every

00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:15.040
year that's not a bad approach i spent a year

00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:18.160
with the chevy volt yeah these are my thoughts i mean i have a lot of thoughts

00:50:16.640 --> 00:50:21.200
about the volt i've basically written out everything i have to say and then i

00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:28.720
was putting it off until the summer because i wanted the weather to be good while we shot and now the summer's gone

00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:30.240
um so maybe i'll do it next year

00:50:28.720 --> 00:50:34.240
i mean i have such a great title for the video that it's gonna perform super well

00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:38.800
regardless of how like outdated the volt and how discontinued it is at that point

00:50:36.160 --> 00:50:42.240
so right why did we start uploading complete

00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:46.720
videos on facebook um facebook turned on monetization for us so we

00:50:44.160 --> 00:50:49.680
stopped ignoring them cool um

00:50:48.160 --> 00:50:55.839
video suggestion make a skull trail follow up with the evga sr2 i would love

00:50:52.800 --> 00:50:55.839
to do that um

00:50:55.920 --> 00:51:01.119
isn't that kind of old now the dual socket board

00:50:59.359 --> 00:51:07.440
for gamers um i forget i thought the srx

00:51:03.920 --> 00:51:07.440
was after the sr2 though

00:51:07.520 --> 00:51:13.760

00:52:55.599 --> 00:53:00.880
apple no answer Linus karma's a [ __ ]

00:52:58.800 --> 00:53:03.440
all right fair enough tommy again me again my reminder to you that you

00:53:09.760 --> 00:53:16.880
sometime in the next couple months so we booked a shoot date today no we didn't

00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:20.720

00:53:20.720 --> 00:53:27.359
we're both beautiful uh plantation says read his emails no no

00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:31.599
he didn't read my emails because he's a good person oh get wrecked um christian

00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:35.040
says luke i expect my purple sharpie back next year at ltx 2020. i think i

00:53:33.839 --> 00:53:38.079
have it so maybe

00:53:39.200 --> 00:53:45.200
keumer says something ninja says here's my google opinion rewards money

00:53:43.520 --> 00:53:50.400
maybe this helps what is google opinion right i think it's like um

00:53:47.200 --> 00:53:52.640
would you like rate stores and stuff

00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:56.160
really yeah you get money for that i think you have to sign up for the

00:53:54.480 --> 00:53:59.200
program and then i think if you do enough of it you probably get something

00:53:57.839 --> 00:54:03.280
so that's probably like all he's ever made on it huh it's my assumption

00:54:02.079 --> 00:54:09.520
i really don't know and it probably it probably only gives you money within the google ecosystem

00:54:07.280 --> 00:54:12.720
jerry says youtube bad Floatplane good yeah

00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:20.000
still using my pc you helped me build in 2015 with a 6600k and 964 gig keep doing

00:54:16.079 --> 00:54:20.000
what you do nice sweet

00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:26.240
i would call icarly you guys are friends with her it might be your best bet i

00:54:24.079 --> 00:54:31.200
think you mean i justine yeah carly that's a good i think icarly's

00:54:27.760 --> 00:54:33.200
like a disney channel thing

00:54:31.200 --> 00:54:38.720
i could um so a little bit of inside baseball for you guys

00:54:35.839 --> 00:54:41.200
it's actually considered and this is like

00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:44.480
unspoken but it's considered

00:54:42.880 --> 00:54:48.800
um bad manners

00:54:46.079 --> 00:54:52.800
to reach out to other members of the media

00:54:49.839 --> 00:54:57.040
and ask for hookups unless you have exhausted all other options and as far

00:54:55.359 --> 00:55:00.880
as i'm concerned by the time i have reached out to apple media support and

00:54:59.119 --> 00:55:03.680
said hey i'd love to start a conversation

00:55:02.319 --> 00:55:10.319
and they have clearly opted not to follow that up with me

00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:11.839
i have basically um i have got an answer

00:55:10.319 --> 00:55:16.720
even if it was an answer that i didn't like and so to put someone else like

00:55:15.119 --> 00:55:20.319
justine um or you know jonathan morrison or austin

00:55:18.960 --> 00:55:27.599
or whoever into a potentially bad situation yeah to put one of them in a position where

00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:29.599
they have to put their neck on the line

00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:34.160
for to ask someone else to put their neck on the line to overturn a decision

00:55:31.760 --> 00:55:38.640
that has clearly already been made it's like it's not unheard of it's something

00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:43.440
i have done but it's like a pretty it's a bigger

00:55:41.040 --> 00:55:46.240
favor than you guys might necessarily think

00:55:44.240 --> 00:55:49.839
because there's a finite number of seats at these events there's a finite number

00:55:48.079 --> 00:55:52.880
of review samples and there's a finite amount of time

00:55:51.280 --> 00:55:57.760
and company reps they have to manage all of those things

00:55:55.359 --> 00:56:02.799
and so for every for every exception that gets made

00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:07.680
someone gets kicked out of a seat off a review sample list or

00:56:05.680 --> 00:56:13.119
out of getting a reply in the inbox if that kind of makes sense to you guys

00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:15.119
so we try to be we try to be diplomatic

00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:18.720
about the way that we engage with companies if they want to engage with us

00:56:16.720 --> 00:56:21.599
that's great and if they don't then as far as we're concerned you know i'll

00:56:20.079 --> 00:56:27.040
reach out once every three years or so and be like hey um has the yahoo who

00:56:25.200 --> 00:56:32.559
decided they think we're not worth talking to quit or been fired yet no

00:56:29.520 --> 00:56:33.920
okay then i guess we'll wait

00:56:32.559 --> 00:56:38.880
that's a good way of putting it i like that um aerotech says have you guys ever

00:56:36.720 --> 00:56:42.640
considered an unread build config guide i think you guys could do better than

00:56:40.160 --> 00:56:47.760
the other guys in youtube um no actually i hadn't thought of doing that uh lately

00:56:44.720 --> 00:56:47.760
it's just it's kind of dry

00:56:51.920 --> 00:56:56.720
trent says school apple sucks i tried to purchase ipads for a school i worked for

00:56:55.520 --> 00:57:00.720
and couldn't get anyone at apple to give me a quote

00:56:58.799 --> 00:57:05.520
but this says schools only can buy from apple i don't really understand what

00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:08.960
that message thanks everett thanks kyle

00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:11.839
yes we're hiring just go to our website if you can't figure out where the

00:57:10.319 --> 00:57:16.480
positions are listed on our website then you're probably not the right candidate

00:57:14.799 --> 00:57:22.079
um all right milk or fish last question

00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:24.720
um why does LTT Store charge in usd instead of cad because most of our

00:57:23.359 --> 00:57:29.920
viewers are us and also the usda is worth more

00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:33.520
and it's more consistent and just people internationally understand it better

00:57:31.760 --> 00:57:37.200
internationally it makes a lot more sense everyone knows their own currency

00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:41.599
in usd because so much so much of product

00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:44.799
pricing be it games or computer hardware or whatever it's at least initially

00:57:43.200 --> 00:57:48.240
based on that it's based on usd and then converted although that's become less true over the last like five to ten

00:57:47.359 --> 00:57:53.280
years um like it used to be that european pricing

00:57:51.040 --> 00:57:55.599
was sort of based on usd pricing now it's based on it but it's just like one

00:57:54.640 --> 00:57:59.920
to one because i don't know

00:57:57.680 --> 00:58:04.240
f anyone who pays in pounds or the euro yeah are that

00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:04.240
kind of brutal

00:58:06.720 --> 00:58:12.480
all right oh 32 bytes says you get money to use on the google play store for

00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:14.960

mostly if you've been to a local store you get about 10 to 20 cents each that's not bad that's surprisingly not bad i've
