Coming back to battery life, Amazon claims you can expect up to eight weeks.
I'm not sure I quite agree with that, maybe if you read like a few chapters a day.
But I will say that between the many hours of battery life, not to mention almost zero standby drain,
it will comfortably outlast any reading device that you have that isn't a black and white e-reader or a little book.
And when you finally need to charge it, you can do so in just a couple hours.
Maybe we should do this as a little Floatplane exclusive. Linus gives his son a coaching session
on how to host. So we can start with that last take he did
and then I'll just get us back up to speed. That was pretty good.
The one thing that I think could elevate it a level
is the power of the pause. I don't call it that, I made that up just now,
but the point is that pausing can be super powerful.
And you can see I did it just there. Right, where I am signaling to you through slowing down,
through pausing, that what I'm saying right now is really important.
And so an example of that is when you want to give people
a beat to notice a punchline, like a clever line.
So you sped right through this. It will comfortably outlast any reading device you have
that isn't a black and white e-reader or a literal book. And when you finally need to charge it,
give me a little longer, that's funny.
It will comfortably outlast any reading device you have that isn't a black and white e-reader or a literal book.
And when you finally need to charge it, you can do so in just a few hours.
Do you hear how different that was? Yeah, a lot better.
It's, I've been doing this for almost 20 years,
longer than you've been alive. But because I'm here, you can just kind of like copy me
until you learn these things on your own.
But that, it's a weird thing.
In normal conversation, laughing at your own jokes isn't something that you like think about
because you'll just say something funny and you'll be like kind of laughing
as you're saying it, right? And that's infectious, that spreads.
But when you're reading off the prompter,
you wrote this like weeks ago and then you sat and you had to go through revisions of it with me
and then I tweaked it and then now you've read it at least twice just now.
So you have to read it a third time. It's like it's not funny anymore, right?
But you still gotta find a way to do it. Watch, I'll do it again. It will comfortably outlast any reading device you have
that isn't a black and whitey reader or a literal book.
And when you finally need to charge it, you can do so in just a few hours. You've gotta try to find a way to show
through your own actions and through your own intonation and your own facial expressions
how the audience is supposed to be feeling about something.
People don't always know it's a joke. It's one of the reasons why text communication
can be so difficult because people can't see your face. They don't know your tone, okay?
So I want you to use the power of the pause.
Okay, so what was it? So let's see how he does.
Coming back to battery life. Amazon claims that you can expect up to eight weeks.
I'm not sure, I quite agree with that. So you see how I'm almost acting like I'm hearing
what Amazon claimed for the first time, right?
Yeah. I'm not sure I agree with that.
Try to use the power of the pause. Do your best and we'll keep powering through it.
Coming back to battery life, Amazon claims you can expect, you can expect, okay.
Oh, emphasis words. I didn't pause enough. Emphasis words, okay.
I told you about pauses, but I forgot to tell you about emphasis words.
Coming back to battery life, Amazon claims that you can expect up to eight weeks.
I'm not sure, I quite agree with that. So you can see we did remember to all caps,
the one emphasis word, the quite. We didn't remember to do it with claims.
So by emphasizing those two words,
so the words I would emphasize here, coming back to battery life, Amazon claims, there's one of your emphasis words,
that you can expect up to eight weeks. I'd say the up to would be another emphasis.
I'm not sure, I would emphasize I'm. I'm not sure I quite agree with that
because what we're trying to get across is, Amazon says this weird qualified statement, up to.
What does up to mean? If I said I'll give you up to $100 for your birthday,
what does that mean? It means nothing, right? Yeah.
It's nonsense. So we have to confront that nonsense through our tone
and through our facial expressions.
So claims up to I'm quite agree.
So you see how those emphasis words set up the key characters.
There's Amazon and there's me, and they're up to and I'm not quite convinced.
Does that make sense? Yeah. So go slow, do your best, have fun.
That's the most important part is have fun because if you're not having fun, then we have no chance.
Coming back to battery life, Amazon claims you can expect up to eight weeks.
I'm not sure I quite agree with that, but I will say that between the many hours of battery life,
not to mention almost zero standby drain, it will comfortably outlast any reading device you have
that isn't a black and white e-reader or a literal book.
And when you finally need to charge it, you can do so in just a few hours.
That was... Changes to charge. By far.
Your best take though. Did you feel the difference? Not really.
Okay. It was even, everyone could feel it. Floatplane, could you feel the difference?
I'm gonna go with yes.
That was solid. I don't really have any feedback other than do it again.
Just practice it again. And yeah, that was pretty good.
It will comfortably outlast any reading device you have that isn't a black and white e-reader or a literal book.
And when you finally need to charge it, you can do so in just a couple hours.
Okay, we're close. Right now, you are using emphasis words,
but you're not quite nailing which ones are the right ones.
And it takes a lot of practice. So you kind of emphasized comfortably.
It will comfortably outlast any e-reading. It will comfortably outlast any reading device
you have that isn't, but I would actually emphasize any.
Let me give you that delivery with any. It will comfortably outlast any reading device you have
that isn't a black and white e-reader or a literal book.
Do you see why the any works better there? Yeah, it makes...
Any reading device you have because it's, because the emphasis is our any and isn't.
So they're contradictory. It will comfortably outlast any reading device you have
that isn't. So in the same way, you almost always want to have
a relationship between your emphasis words. So we've got Amazon and I and claims and quite agree.
Right? Yeah. Where we've got our two characters and we've got their two sentiments.
And then in this other paragraph, we've got any reading device that isn't.
Okay, there are exceptions. There are lots of reading devices that it will not outlast.
You know, like black and white e-readers and also books, but...
Make sense? Yeah. Okay, so let's go one sentence at, oh my God,
is this one long sentence? No. Okay, you know what?
No, do the whole thing again and just, you know, try and do it bigger.
Coming back to battery life, Amazon claims you can expect up to eight weeks.
I'm not sure. Hold on, no, no, I'm gonna stop you there. Okay. Coming back to battery life,
Amazon claims that you can expect up to eight weeks.
Amazon claims, give me that really strong emphasis on claims.
Okay. Because that's their claim, claim up to.
That is nonsense. My dad claims that he's gonna give me
up to a hundred dollars for my birthday. Right, like imagine if you're telling,
you're telling one of your friends about that. So my dad, he claims he's gonna give me
up to a hundred dollars for my birthday. Up to, what does up to mean?
Up to, up to his, you know, like have some attitude, you know?
Coming back to battery life, Amazon claims you can expect up to eight weeks.
I'm not sure I quite agree with that. Maybe if you read like a few chapters a day.
Hold on, hold on, I'm gonna jump in. Okay. Okay.
Another really challenging part of delivery
is whether you're supposed to end on an up tone
or a down tone. So that time it was coming back to battery life,
Amazon claims you can expect up to eight weeks.
I'm not sure I quite agree with that. Okay.
Now listen to me do it again. Amazon claims you can expect up to eight weeks.
I'm not sure I quite agree with that. See how I went weeks and weeks.
Yeah. So I think the down sounded better. The down sounded better.
And the reason the down sounds better is because it is separating not just two sentences
but it is separating two sentiments. Do you understand what I mean by like sentiments?
Ideas. Yeah, almost.
Or like different attitudes. So the kids in my class think that 3D printing is stupid.
I think that is super cool.
Hmm. I think it's super cool. And I would love to talk to you about it.
And here's my 3D printer. So when you end with the up tone,
it's like you're gonna keep going with that same thought, with that same idea, with that same attitude.
But when you have a down, it's like putting kind of like an extra punctuation
on the pause that you're already gonna be doing because there's punctuation.
Does that make sense? Yeah. Coming back to battery life, Amazon claim, okay.
No, that was not as bad as you think. That was closer, actually.
Coming back to battery life, Amazon claims you can expect up to eight weeks.
Hold on. That sounds like a question, okay. We're saying you're going up to eight weeks.
But the up to is where we want to kind of give it a pause.
Amazon claims you can expect up to eight weeks.
The up to is the funny part when you're telling the story. My dad says he'll give me up to $100.
Ridiculous. Okay. Coming back to battery life,
Amazon claims you can expect up to eight weeks.
I'm not sure I quite agree with that. Maybe if you read like a few chapters a day,
but I will say that between the many hours of battery life, not to mention almost zero standby drain,
it will comfortably outlast any reading device you have
that isn't a black and white e-reader or a literal book.
And when you finally need to charge it, you can do so in just a couple of hours.
Wow. What a good take. Heck yeah.
You did it. Yes. That was good, right? Yeah, perfect.
Yeah. It's always little things, you know. Little things when you put them together,
I'll make the V. Yep. And the previous takes weren't bad,
but all these little things add up to the difference
between a video that just, you don't know why,
but that you want to watch or one that you're just not that interested in.
Does that make sense? Yeah. Cool. Okay, so next paragraph, boy.
We really did write a lot for you.
You can do so in just a few hours. Now, it's good.
We can use all of that last take because we're going to have a shot.
And this is one of the things that you're always thinking about when you're writing,
is where am I going to be able to take breaks in my delivery
because I can just use a B roll shot of a thing being plugged in to mask a cut
where I can take a break and compose myself or whatever it is that I need to do.
So you can, so yeah, you can just go from this paragraph.
As for using it, how do I say this?
Oh, right, because we've talked about battery life.
As for using it, how do I say this?
Spec-wise, it should crush its black and white cousin,
the paper white six. I mean, it's got twice the memory,
a processor that runs it twice the speed, but while that's great on paper,
it doesn't feel twice as strong in daily use. Here, look at this.
While the double tap anywhere gesture is a convenient time saver,
the animation for page flipping takes noticeably longer than the paper white.
So you've got to kind of bring me through this journey that we went on and like, well, hold on a second.
And you can see how like way over animated I am
when I'm talking to you right now, right? Yeah. Like, do I ever talk to you like that? No.
Yeah, it's ridiculous, right? Nobody talks in person like they present on camera,
but to them who are watching our little clinic here,
apparently, that didn't seem weird.
That's how you deliver, because the camera lens has a special metaphysical property
where it just, it saps all the energy that's supposed to make it to the sensor.
I don't, I can't tell you why, but I can tell you that it's a real thing. So try this one and probably we'll screw it up
and that doesn't matter. We're just going to try again. As for using it, how do I say this?
Spec-wise, it should crush. It's black and white cousin, the paper white six.
I mean, it's got twice the memory, a processor that runs at twice the speed,
but while that's great on paper, it doesn't feel twice as strong in daily use.
Look at this, with the double, while the double tap animation gesture, okay.
Okay, that's fine, I'm going to jump in anyway. Here's your water.
So, we emphasized the wrong word in the script.
I think it should be crushed instead of, you are a hundred percent right.
You changed that when we were going through it and I forgot to tell you. Yep, I was wrong.
So, yeah, I'm not going to bother telling you that point.
And then there was, ah, yes, okay. As for the part after it,
I want to be a little bit more pondery or a little bit more like,
I know that the baby grows in your tummy.
I know that it's going to come out of your tummy, but how did it get in there?
Like, I'm trying to puzzle through this.
I'm thinking about it, right? Spec-wise, it should crush its black and white cousin,
the paper white six. I mean, it's got twice the memory,
a processor that runs twice the speed, but while that's great on paper,
it doesn't feel twice as strong in daily use. I mean, look at this,
and you don't have to actually show them anything. We'll have B-roll. Okay, easy.
I mean, look at this, while the double-tap animation is a convenient time-saver,
the double-tap anywhere gesture is a convenient time-saver,
the animation for page flipping takes noticeably longer than the paper white.
And you've got to give me like the facial expression. It takes noticeably longer, like I'm so confused.
Be confused. Do you know like the Jackie Chan confused meme?
No. Okay. Be this guy.
Jackie Chan confused meme. Have you seen this before?
No. You must have seen this. I don't think so. But just...
It takes noticeably longer. You don't have to put your hands up here or whatever,
but the point is you've got to have a facial expression. You've got to show me how to feel.
As for using it, how do I see... No, hold on. Okay.
So this is something that's really challenging, and this is the difference between
an A-host and an A-host.
Is it really challenging? A-host is intonation and making sure
that you keep in the back of your mind what it was from the previous shot that you did,
and making sure that they mesh really, really well.
So you can do so in just a few hours, as for using it.
So you've got to make sure that your new intonation is going to go with not just the end of the last paragraph,
but actually the beginning. So this one started with coming back to battery life.
Amazon claims, blah, blah, blah, you can do so in just a few hours.
As for using it, how do I say this?
Well, spec-wise, it should crush its black and white cousin.
So you see how I make sure that that intonation right at the beginning is going to go really nicely
as people are watching the whole video. Because it's kind of like those murals, right?
Where people paint it up close, but it has to look really good from a distance.
You know the kind I'm talking about, right? So you have to paint this.
You have to paint this video in little chunks, but they're going to watch it from a distance.
That makes sense? Yeah. Yeah, okay, cool. So you've got to account for that in what you're doing.
So you can do so in just a few hours.
I mean, Scott, twice the memory, a processor that runs it twice the speed,
but while that's great on paper, it doesn't feel twice as strong in daily use.
Look at this. While the double tap anywhere gesture is a convenient time saver,
the animation for page flipping takes noticeably longer than the paper whites.
Okay, we've got the next couple lines, but we're going to go, it was really good.
Up to it doesn't feel twice as strong in daily use. Look at this.
Give me a bit more energy. You can't believe it.
This thing is twice as fast. It has twice as much memory.
It doesn't feel twice as strong. Look at this.
Look at this. Look at this. Can you believe this?
Yeah, yeah. You were surprisingly good on camera
in the last All Hands. That was really good. We'll talk about that later.
Anyway, look at this.
While the double tap anywhere gesture is a convenient time saver,
while the double tap gesture is a convenient, you're throwing them a bone.
It's all about what the tone of what you're trying to do is. So you're about to rip them a new one.
Here's their thing. It's twice as fast theoretically, but look at this.
Okay, the double tap anywhere gesture, it's a convenient time saver.
But the animation for the page flipping takes noticeably longer than the paperwhite.
So I'm gonna give you the business. All right.
You told us the truth about the awful thing you did.
But what were you thinking, boy? So you gotta give me that tone flip.
It doesn't feel twice as strong in daily use. Look at this.
While the double tap anywhere gesture is a convenient time saver,
the animation for page flipping takes noticeably longer than the paperwhite.
Okay. Emphasis words are not quite right.
In this one, while the double tap anywhere gesture is a convenient time saver,
what should be my emphasis word?
It's a tough one. Not quite. Convenience?
Nope. It's a really tough one. What do you think?
Would it be while? While? While the double tap anywhere gesture is a convenient time saver.
While? Let's see. Pop quiz Andrew too.
This is a hard one. I think it's right after the music.
Oh, it is maybe. It's is. Yeah, it makes more sense.
Look at this. While the double tap anywhere gesture is a convenient time saver,
the animation, see? Yes, you get it.
You get it. I told you guys it's a hard one. I didn't expect anyone to get it.
It's just hard to read ahead and say the stuff that I already read.
Yeah, it's tough. And while I wish Amazon could fix this
by just adding a page turn speed setting, look at this.
The store has the same issue. There's no way they want to slow down the process
of selling more ebooks. So why is it so slow?
That was so close. Oh, that was really good.
That was by far your first, or your best first run.
Okay, so there was one little thing that this is like the difference
between an A host and an S host.
And while I wish Amazon could fix this by just adding a page turn speed setting,
there was, you'd like paused. You did a really good job of thinking about it.
You're like, while I wish they could, by page turn speed setting,
look at this.
The store has the same, there was an opportunity there
for you to add a little stutter word.
And that's the most unintuitive thing in the world.
You would think you should do the script as close to the script as possible, right?
Yeah. And it should be perfect, and that would be the ideal delivery.
Stutter words, what? What they do is they make it natural.
So watch this. And while I wish Amazon could fix this
by just adding a page turn speed setting or something,
look at this. The store has the same issue.
Like, I mean, there's no way that they want to slow it on the process
of selling more eBooks, right? So why is it so slow?
You see how I stuttered on that so,
like I couldn't think of what to say. Yeah.
You get it? And you see how, by just adding a page turn speed setting,
I don't know, look at this. Like you can, don't do it too much.
Too much makes you look sloppy.
Not enough makes you look too clean.
There's a fine line of imperfect, therefore natural.
One more time, that was really good. Oh, the other thing was,
so why is it so slow? Bring me down at the end.
And while I wish Amazon could fix this by just adding a page turn speed setting,
look at this. The store has the same issue.
There's no way they want to slow down the process of selling more eBooks.
So why is it so slow?
We're going to go from and look at this.
And look at this. The store has the same issue.
So you see what I did? I kept the energy level high.
So you actually did a good thing in the last read
by trying to vary your energy level, but in the same way that we can use pauses,
which normally would be like, you know, you'd think of as like slow,
or like wrong, right? Like pausing.
In the same way, we can use not varying our intonation
to draw attention to the fact that we didn't.
The store has the same issue.
There's no way they want to slow down the process of selling more eBooks.
So why is it so slow? Get it?
So I want you to go from look at this. Look at this.
The store has the same issue. Look at this.
The store has the same issue. There's no way they want to slow down
the process of selling more eBooks. So why is it so slow?
That was really close, but you're almost too mad now.
Because it's their problem. Look at this.
The store has the same issue. We're not that mad about it.
The store has the same issue. We don't want to be quite over the top.
One more time. One more time. You got this.
You got this. Look at this. The store has the same issue.
They want to slow down the process of selling more eBooks.
So why would it be so slow? Okay.
I found something. So we've kept the energy high.
One of the things that we need to do when we do that is we need to bring it down faster.
Look at this. The store has the same issue.
There's no way that they want to slow down
the process of selling more eBooks. So why is it so slow?
Bring me down a little bit faster. People need a break from high energy.
Look at this. The store has the same issue.
There's no way they want to slow down the process of selling more eBooks.
So why is it so slow? I want...
Oh, man. This is subtle. There's a subtle.
We still need a little bit of emphasis on no way.
And we're a little bit too mad about the store has the same issue still.
Look at this. And while I wish Amazon could fix this
by just adding a page-to-page setting. Look at this.
The store has the same issue.
There is no way they want to slow down the process of selling more eBooks.
So why is it so slow? So I think right now,
by just doing from look at this, we're forgetting that our energy is not that high
and we're not that mad. While I wish they could solve this,
look at this. The store has the same issue.
So yeah, we're not mad. Don't be mad. Okay.
Go for it. You're going to nail it on this one. You got it.
That's because it uses an extra color layer on top of the typical black and white layer
you might be used to. Some people might feel that enjoying books,
comics and manga in color isn't worth that trade-off,
especially after they spent so much money.
But for me, there's no going back. And I think it's great
and in some cases offers a clear benefit to clarity as well.
Oh, I ended one sentence early.
Okay. No, no, no, no. That was pretty good.
So we're close.
Okay. It's really hard to read the words
while thinking about the sentences and not forgetting the full context
of the entire paragraph. It's really tough. And it's almost like, yeah, about that, you know?
Yeah. It does color, of course.
But only at 150 ppi.
That's because it uses an extra color layer on top of the typical black and white layer
that you might be used to. Some people might feel that enjoying books,
comics, and manga in color isn't worth that trade-off,
especially after they spent so much money. But for me, there is no going back.
Do you see what I mean? How I'm kind of, I'm not,
I can't forget how each word relates to the next,
how each sentence relates to the next, and also how my paragraph is supposed to relate
to the one that came before it. Makes sense? Yeah.
Okay.
So it's, yeah, here's the downside.
Here's the reason. Some people might not like that,
but I like it. And that's the tones that you have to carry
through those various parts of it. Okay? All right.
Do your best. Starting at, yeah. Let's start at the beginning of the paragraph.
Yeah. It does color, of course,
but only at 150 ppi. That's because it uses an extra color layer
on top of your typical black and white layer that you might be used to.
Some people might feel that enjoying books, comics, and manga in color
isn't worth that trade-off, especially after they spent so much money.
But for me, there's no going back. And I think it's great,
and in some cases offers a clear benefit to clarity as well.
Look at this comic cover. That was pretty good.
That was really good. Okay. I don't want to go from,
but for me, there's no going back.
So you didn't have enough energy.
I thought it was really good up to, especially after they spent so much money.
But for me, there's no going back.
And I think it's great, and in some cases offers a clear benefit
to clarity as well. You didn't sound like you thought it was great.
You just were kind of flat for that part. So give me a little bit more energy.
You think it's great. Make me feel like you think it's great.
But for me, there's no going back. And I think it's great,
and in some cases offers a clear benefit to clarity as well.
Look at this comic cover.
One more time. We're going through it a little bit too fast.
This is an important part. This is my opinion, right?
For some folks, it might not be worth it. But for me, I think it's great.
And in some cases, even offers a benefit to clarity as well.
Look at this comic cover. This is my point, you know?
Yeah. Okay, try again. But for me, there's no going back.
I think it's great, and in some cases offers a clear benefit
to clarity as well. Look at this comic cover.
That's the take.
