Hello, Flo Plain. We're here at CES 2024, where I am looking at the new 110UX.
This right here is very similar to the TV. That line has just spent 20 grand on,
so that was the 115 inch from TCL, but even though this one's five inches smaller,
it's better in every single other way. So dude, screw it up. 40,000 dimming zones, 10,000 its peak brightness, and the content that they have on there is not
showing it off at all. We can have a look. We have a banana for scale. It's absolutely
ridiculous. Look at the handles on this thing, so you can move it around.
Crazy. I'm saying that the content on the 110UX is just not very good at showing off the TV,
because this is the 75UX, which is 5,000 dimming zones, 3,000 its peak brightness,
and it is so much brighter than that guy, which means that high-sense screwed up,
but also this thing looks incredible. These TVs are bright enough that even though,
like, there is a little bit of that like local dimming mini LED bloom around the stuff,
if you're like back a little bit, instead of seeing that, you get just like the natural
bloom that happens in your eyes when you look at something that's really bright.
It is crazy how good these things look. I pulled some strings and might be able to
get some different content on these guys right here to really see how bright they are.
Up next, we have the South Korean Wonderland, which let's go have a little gander.
We've got a big old sphere, a rainbow tube apparently,
a little track thing for a train. This all seems incredibly expensive,
and I have no clue what it has to do with RAM. Anyway, let's move on.
Yeah, I'll just give you a clap when they actually like show you something that's useful.
Oh my god, they still haven't showed a single chip in memory yet.
I swear that they showed some RAM. There we go, there's a data center.
Data center, oh.
There's some AI, there's what appears to be an NVIDIA chip. There we go, RAM,
HBM2, heck yeah. I swear you would have no idea that's what this booth was,
if you like didn't know who SK Hynix was, geez. There's a Bugatti, the things I would do to that,
just horrible. I have found the most powerful DC fast charger at the show in the world.
In the world, it is something to behold. So if you look right here at the very tip,
that is the ground and this great big shaft is actually not the contactor. That's under
this rubber bit and it becomes exposed once it goes in. Now this right here, it's a bit graphic,
if I'm honest, but that is what's able to deliver nine megawatts of power. For context,
there are actual power plants that cannot deliver that much power. So if you have a ferry or one
of those giant mining trucks that have wheels that are, I don't know, half the height of this building,
this is what you're going to want.
You're doing donuts, but without hurting your tires. Oh, that's
that's really strange. That demo was incredibly strange, especially when they started spinning
around. But how it all works is right here. So if you look, they actually have an in hub motor.
So that's what makes the wheel spin this way. And the brake is actually like a halo that goes
around the outside in a disc. Now up on top is another motor that allows it to pivot around like
that, which gives you your forward, backward, and that stuff. And so because it's an in hub motor,
you don't have to worry so much about packaging and you're not losing like
trunk space or trunk space because it's, it's all just right here. Now I was quite concerned
about just like general suspension geometry and stuff like that, but apparently it's not a problem
because you can just pretty much set it up for like you would on a normal car. And because like
your toe is just infinitely adjustable, you don't really have to worry about that too much.
And talking to Hyundai, the difficult part that they say is not going to be engineering this.
It's very clearly already done. They've got the parts here. The difficult part is just getting
it cheap. Like you have to have electric motor up here, electric motor in there. The whole thing is
very exotic. So bringing it down in price is something that people actually want to have,
is not a simple feat. Behind me is the Mercedes CLA class concept and it's a thing that exists.
The styling is a divisive, you could say. Even in person, I still don't know how to feel about it.
Maybe it drives good, but all the other electric ones really didn't. I don't know. Wow, that's a
really cool, really large tractor. Too bad that John Deere are a bunch of anti-right to repair
dickheads. So that's cool. I'm very curious if we have just like a totally autonomous mine,
honestly, since mining is pretty dangerous and bad for your health generally. That would be
pretty sick. Behind me here is the X-Pank flying car. Now I was going to kind of talk about how
doing two things poorly is a lot worse than doing one thing well. Then I remembered that it's
snowing in Vancouver right now. It's probably going to take me like three hours to get home from
the airport. It'd be pretty sick to just fly over all of Richmond and just not have to deal
with any of that. So I want one now. And finally we have the McMurdy Spearling. That translates
to thunderstorm in Irish because this thing has turbines in the back, two of them, and they create
two tons of downforce suction pressure on this. And going back to the thunderstorm thing, that
creates 130 decibels of noise. This thing is freaking, just freaking wild, wild fast. So it is,
as it says right here, the Goodwood Festival of Speed Outright Record Holder. And it looks absolutely
insane. So we're going to be sitting right in here. And then on either side of you are the batteries.
And then outside of those is the suction system. So it's pulling from here up into here. The whole
thing has a skirt that will be down against the track. And so if that gets interrupted a bit,
you might have a bit of a bad time, immediately sort of briefly lose your downforce, but apparently
you can recover quite quickly. And then you're able to continue just going right quick. I was curious
if their cooling system has anything to do with their turbines, but no, there's just standard
little radiators here on the back. And it is water cooled. I would really like to drive this thing.
It's actually freaking wild. Hey Flow Plane, we're here at the Cooler Master booth where I did
just a unoggin burning video about this fanless power supply, the amount of technical crap in that.
Oh no, my God, I cannot even think anymore. But they have a bunch of other cool stuff in here
that we weren't able to fit into that video. So we're just going to rapid fire a couple of it,
starting with a heat sink. This is the MA-82A XT Stealth and it's able to do over 300 watts
on an air cooler by using a vapor chamber. So if you look here, there's your cold plate and all of
this is a vapor chamber. These stems right here that go completely vertical are actually part of
the vapor chamber. So those are moving the heat up into these fins really fast and then bringing
it back down and it should be way more efficient than a normal heat sink. Although you might be
wondering like that drawing out like this vapor chamber drawing out could be quite a problem,
which is why they also have a couple of traditional heat pipes. You know, get that extra heat out
of there and make sure everything keeps on working as normal. One thing I was not expecting them to
have is a drum thrown. So this right here has a little sort of like a butt kicker where there's a
vibrating motor in your butt. So there's a couple of ways that you can use this. One is if you're
playing live shows and everything's right loud and you maybe can't hear your monitors too good,
you're able to just have your metronome playing through your butt so that you don't lose time.
Also, it can just be supplemental sub-bass. So you know, we're at a stupid electronic drums
that year, even though it's the nice TD-50X. This drum thrown also has easy height adjustability,
which is surprisingly uncommon in them and you're able to go up high enough so that you
could say like a stand-up bass player could use this. Damn. Up next, we've got the Cooler Master
and SimCube 2 Pro. So this is a co-branded little, what would you call this, steering wheel base?
Yeah, a steering wheel base. This is not their own steering wheel, but let's give this whole rake
ago. This entire system is the, what is this? The Dyne X motion system. Sure, apparently it's
pretty cool because they have 14 different ways to adjust how you're pitched up and down. Well,
let's just give it a little neutral drop, but sure. Yeah, this is pretty sweet. I don't think
the Miata's diving quite that much, even though they do have pretty soft suspension. Every single
other racing sim that we've seen here, me and Jake have just been like, wow, this is a pretty
sh** compared to what we have at the office. This is the first one that kind of compares.
I think this might be better. This might be better, do you say, Andy? Yeah.
The position is really good. Oh, I shouldn't have shifted down there. I guess we should actually
be like doing our jobs. I guess this is doing our job, but I just want to stay in this for a bit.
You know, it's a good racing sim when you're actually like driving well when you hop into it.
So many racing simulators, I feel like instead of being realistic, are just
unnecessarily punishing. I don't think I've ever been fast in a full-motion rig before,
and I'm not being amazingly fast here, but it's like, you know, not bad. Yeah, one of the problems
with the D-Box that we have and the way that they use the servo motors is that it is so freaking loud,
the way that it's like amplified through the floor. Now, this right here is some pretty decent
flooring, but you can definitely tell that it's not just shaking everything all to hell. It's
much more contained within the system itself. Holy s**t. Here we are in the Flight Sim that they
have. It's the Dynex Flight Sim, and this right here has six-inch actuators instead of the two-inch
ones that we had in that racing sim. We're going to go see if we can fly into our office here. So
this is a highway 99 down here. We're in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. You can see these
nice... Oh, I don't know, is that metrotown over there, Andy? All right, never mind, I can do a
barrel roll. This is a responsive plane. I was not expecting it to be just...
Oh, f**k it up. Here we go. Oh, I'm crashing.
So what we just ran into is one of the mansions that's on the... Okay, we started over the Langley
Airport this time. We're going to try and find the office once again. I'm guessing it's right over
here, or is it up here? I forget where the Langley Airport is. We need to have a waypoint in Microsoft
Flight Simulator of Linus Tech Tips headquarters. So let's see. We should be about to fly over
top of some train tracks, which are the trains that are super duper annoying all the time in our videos.
Okay, yep. Oh, yep, I see the lab. All right, landing gear down. So our studio is right there.
That is us, and the lab's right there. Do you think we can land on top of the lab, Andy?
Yeah, let's do that. Oh my god. Oh my... I'm gonna barf. I'm gonna barf. It's fine.
Of course, this being Cooler Master, they have a bunch of really, really funky cases. We've got the
shark. We've seen that before. We have also got this rabbit. This is the Sneaker X-Bounce case.
Apparently, he is very, very large, and these went from Taiwan and huge in China. Anyway,
this is a Floatplane exclusive. So we're just going to roll with that. The really cool thing
about this, though, is that these speakers can detach and just go around like this if you so
please. Also, there's a little key cap right here that comes off, and you can control the RGB rate.
Is it this one? No, that one's volume. That one's volume. This one's RGB control. That's
absolutely ridiculous. I quite enjoy it. You might not know this, but a lot of Bluetooth
speakers get their deep bass through passive radiators. So we're going to have our tweeter here
and our subwoofer sort of thingy here, but then on the back, we have a passive radiator. So this
right here isn't actually going to be powered. It's just simply taking what this woofer is doing
and through science and stuff. It's going to be moving twice as far for the same amount of movement
after a certain frequency. So this will be tuned. So maybe let's say at 100 Hertz,
it's going to start moving as this guy moves and it will be doubling the amount of sound that it is
producing. That's how your Bluetooth speaker gets so low. Well, it's so small. They've also got the
new NP200. So this case is not new, but this completely reflective one is on the front. It has
a touchscreen. Is it working? I'm sure it works sometimes. Also because Gen 5 SSD is just really
like getting so hot that they off themselves. They have a new vapor chamber heatsink for your SSD.
All of right down here, a little vapor chamber and then up top, you know, it's just some copper
that's going to radiate your heat. What's nice about the solution is that it's way smaller than
like existing ones. And it's really awful when you get something like this and you just find out
it doesn't fit on your motherboard. This might. And our last one for Cooler Master,
they have this wood case. They were asking us, uh, what do we think of the bamboo
right here? And we were kind of like, uh, so maybe this won't be a real product later.
I hope you enjoyed this Floatplane. See you later.
