00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:13.460
What's up, Full Plane? As the year comes to the end, there's a lot of tech that came out this year, so let's take a quick, you know, peruse around what was the best tech of the year, according to all our staff members who are present and who are not busy and who consented beyond camera.

00:00:13.460 --> 00:00:19.220
Sorry, please, thank you. We're also at CES, so we're really busy, so this is the best kind of content we can make during a short amount of time. Sorry, thank you for understanding.

00:00:19.220 --> 00:00:22.660
Alright, for our first guest. Hello, Dan. Hi.

00:00:22.660 --> 00:00:30.760
What is the best tech of the year, according to you? Uh, jeez, I don't know, GH200 Superchip by NVIDIA?

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:39.700
I don't know what that is, but thanks. Alright, let's go over here. We have Sean here, who is our technical specialist, I think, right?

00:00:39.700 --> 00:00:44.740
Infrastructure. Infrastructure specialist? Yes, that's what I am said. So what is your tech of the year?

00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:47.980
It would be robotics. The advancements in robotics.

00:00:47.980 --> 00:00:53.420
Do you have any particular one example? Just in general, yeah.

00:00:53.420 --> 00:00:56.420
Cool. That's the one? That's the one?

00:00:56.420 --> 00:00:59.420
Yeah. No. No?

00:00:59.420 --> 00:01:02.420
No? Not that. You don't like, you're not a musker?

00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:05.420
No. You're not a Elon guy? No.

00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:14.420
Colin is a very well-spoken man. So what is your tech of the year?

00:01:14.420 --> 00:01:20.420
He's forklift certified. As a forklift certified person, what is your tech of the year?

00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:26.420
Forklift. Forklift. Forklifts. Yes, forklifts. Hello. What is your tech of the year?

00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:29.420
My favorite tech? Your tech of the year of 2023.

00:01:29.420 --> 00:01:32.420
Uh, the new iPhone. The new iPhone? Which one?

00:01:32.420 --> 00:01:35.420
15 Pro Max. Pro Max? Yeah.

00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:38.420
You're rich like that? I ain't got one. You don't got one?

00:01:38.420 --> 00:01:42.420
No. Alvin, I'm proud of you. What's your tech of the year?

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:48.420
Can I say Vision Pro? Yes, you can. Look at Jake Danes working so hard. He sees us.

00:01:48.420 --> 00:01:52.420
Oh, hi Jake. What is your tech of the year?

00:01:52.420 --> 00:01:55.420
ChadGBT. I'm a programmer. I like ChadGBT.

00:01:55.420 --> 00:02:00.420
It's just, it's made my life so much easier. I haven't had to do anything for months.

00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:03.420
For what? For months. What is your tech of the year?

00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:06.420
M3. M3? Yes.

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:10.420
What's that for a person who doesn't know anything about tech? Apple Silicon M3. Apple Silicon M3.

00:02:10.420 --> 00:02:15.420
Because I finally bought into it myself and then immediately stickered it.

00:02:15.420 --> 00:02:18.420
Look at her making graphs. What's your tech of the year?

00:02:18.420 --> 00:02:23.420
Yell it. What's the best tech that came out in 2023?

00:02:23.420 --> 00:02:27.420
Can you yell it? We're going to head upstairs.

00:02:27.420 --> 00:02:30.420
If I bump into someone, that'd be really funny, right?

00:02:30.420 --> 00:02:33.420
I just kind of got scared. What is your tech of the year?

00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:36.420
What's my what? Tech of the year. Tech of the year?

00:02:36.420 --> 00:02:39.420
Yeah. Probably the 4090 Matrix.

00:02:39.420 --> 00:02:42.420
Can you explain that in fortnight terms? In fortnight terms?

00:02:42.420 --> 00:02:48.420
Or Minecraft. It was the liquid cooled 4090 by ASUS.

00:02:48.420 --> 00:02:52.420
The AIO one. I don't know stuff, but okay.

00:02:52.420 --> 00:02:55.420
Thank you. I'll look it up after.

00:02:55.420 --> 00:02:59.420
What are fucking on lava? What are fucking on lava?

00:02:59.420 --> 00:03:02.420
Framework 16, I hope, when I get mine eventually.

00:03:02.420 --> 00:03:07.420
Can you explain it in Minecraft terms? It's the laptop you have to build, but then how do I explain the Minecraft terms if you

00:03:07.420 --> 00:03:14.420
have to slide it into the bottom? So imagine when you're assembling, you know, that doesn't make sense.

00:03:14.420 --> 00:03:18.420
It's like horse armor in Minecraft, the GPU.

00:03:18.420 --> 00:03:21.420
What is your tech of the year? The Focal Batisse.

00:03:21.420 --> 00:03:24.420
Very, very nice pair of wireless headphones.

00:03:24.420 --> 00:03:29.420
They can also be used wired through a USB-C DAC or through the headphone jack on them.

00:03:29.420 --> 00:03:32.420
They have 40 hours of battery life. They're super, super comfortable.

00:03:32.420 --> 00:03:36.420
I wear them every single day for like six plus hours.

00:03:36.420 --> 00:03:40.420
Great for travel. Got ANC. They sound absolutely incredible.

00:03:40.420 --> 00:03:43.420
We have here fan favorite.

00:03:43.420 --> 00:03:47.420
My favorite, David, favorite David I know at this company.

00:03:47.420 --> 00:03:51.420
David, what is your tech of the year?

00:03:51.420 --> 00:03:55.420
It's hard to pick just one, but I'm pretty hot on the RetroTink 4K right now.

00:03:55.420 --> 00:03:58.420
It's like a retro scaler, but it's the best it's ever been, baby.

00:03:58.420 --> 00:04:01.420
And then we made a video on it, so you can check that out when it's done.

00:04:01.420 --> 00:04:04.420
If it's before CES, there'll be a roll here.

00:04:04.420 --> 00:04:08.420
If not, then I'm just going to do this like a dumbass.

00:04:08.420 --> 00:04:15.420
What is your tech of the year? I don't know. What is the exact opposite of Microsoft Word?

00:04:15.420 --> 00:04:18.420
Google Sheets. Google Sheets? Yeah, that's Google Sheets.

00:04:18.420 --> 00:04:21.420
Text. Google Sheets. Google Sheets.

00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:24.420
Are you busy? Yeah. Okay.

00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:27.420
We're all busy, bro. Can I interview you? Can I interview?

00:04:27.420 --> 00:04:31.420
Sorry, off topic. Why is there one white keycap?

00:04:31.420 --> 00:04:34.420
It's a special custom keycap. It's my face on it.

00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:37.420
I'm just curious what the lore is.

00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:42.420
I don't remember if someone custom made a bunch and they did me.

00:04:42.420 --> 00:04:45.420
I don't know if it was for a video or a sponsor or a fan.

00:04:45.420 --> 00:04:50.420
I honestly don't remember. If it's you, thank you. Does it have to be something that was meaningful to me or something that launched this year?

00:04:50.420 --> 00:04:54.420
Something that you found cool this year. Because for me, it was Home Assistant.

00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:57.420
And finally, just getting a little deeper into DIY.

00:04:57.420 --> 00:05:04.420
Like not just buying GoV LED strips, but just actually getting raw LED strips with like an

00:05:04.420 --> 00:05:10.420
ESP32 and then flashing WLED open source software on it and kind of just wiring it all up myself

00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:14.420
and using Home Assistant Automation. I didn't have Home Assistant before.

00:05:14.420 --> 00:05:20.420
So yeah, that's been fun. My favorite new tech of 2023, Jamstripe Keycap.

00:05:20.420 --> 00:05:24.420
Agree? It's older than that.

00:05:24.420 --> 00:05:26.420
Are you busy, Ploof?

00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:30.420
Like games that were all busy. All right, cool.

00:05:30.420 --> 00:05:33.420
What is your tech of the year?

00:05:33.420 --> 00:05:36.420
Probably the ally. I have an R&G ally right here.

00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:40.420
You're an ally guy, not a steentech guy? Yeah, because it's just stronger.

00:05:40.420 --> 00:05:48.420
It's all about strength. It's about how you use the strength. When it comes to wanting to play AAA games on handheld yet is unfortunately.

00:05:48.420 --> 00:05:51.420
Look at this guy. He wants me in the video so bad.

00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:54.420
Please. Look at this guy. Look at these zoomers.

00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:57.420
What is your tech of the year? MetaQuest 3.

00:05:57.420 --> 00:06:00.420
Why? Okay. Thank you.

00:06:00.420 --> 00:06:05.420
It feels like it was the headset that was covered the most by mainstream media to the point

00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:09.420
where I feel like we might finally be getting a good blend of AR and VR.

00:06:09.420 --> 00:06:14.420
And it makes me really excited for the Vision Pro. Because if that one's however much and the Vision Pro is way more expensive,

00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:18.420
it's probably going to be way better as well. So I'm very excited for it.

00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:21.420
Can you explain it in Fortnite terms? Yeah, sure.

00:06:21.420 --> 00:06:24.420
Oh, they came out last year? Yeah.

00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:30.420
So are you? Yeah. Yeah, sure.

00:06:30.420 --> 00:06:36.420
What's your tech of the year?

00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:42.420
OnePlus Open. Folding phones are cool.

00:06:42.420 --> 00:06:45.420
We forgot to ask the most important person at the office.

00:06:45.420 --> 00:06:48.420
So before we go to Labs and studio, let's ask...

00:06:48.420 --> 00:06:51.420
What's your tech of the year?

00:06:51.420 --> 00:06:54.420
Steam Deck OLED. Cool. All right.

00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:58.420
And now we're going to transition into...

00:06:58.420 --> 00:07:01.420
What's your tech of the year, Glenn?

00:07:01.420 --> 00:07:04.420
Cool. Okay. Andy.

00:07:04.420 --> 00:07:07.420
Hey. What is your tech of the year?

00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:12.420
Glenn, what's your tech of the year?

00:07:12.420 --> 00:07:15.420
For real, it's the new NBA jersey. That's not tech.

00:07:15.420 --> 00:07:21.420
Oh my gosh. On spot. It's MagSafe SSD records that we just saw get released right at the very end.

00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:26.420
It's kind of nice to see more MagSafe and a little bit more of creator-friendly products

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:31.420
so that you can actually use more storage than Apple gives you for an extra $800.

00:07:31.420 --> 00:07:34.420
It's nice that way. Hi, Lance. Are you busy for a one-second interview?

00:07:34.420 --> 00:07:37.420
What can I do for you? What is your tech of the year?

00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:40.420
Oh, Wi-Fi 7. Wi-Fi 7?

00:07:40.420 --> 00:07:43.420
Yeah, Wi-Fi 7 is sick. Have you seen how fast it is?

00:07:43.420 --> 00:07:46.420
No. It's crazy. I don't understand anything like it.

00:07:46.420 --> 00:07:49.420
Like, well in excess of 2 gigabit per second, like, without a wire.

00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:52.420
I'm waiting for Wi-Fi 8, actually. Well, that's great.

00:07:52.420 --> 00:07:55.420
I rate it 8 out of 8.

00:07:55.420 --> 00:08:03.420
That's crazy. Thank you. This one's called the speedrun because editors are always busy.

00:08:03.420 --> 00:08:06.420
So we're going to have three minutes to interview everyone.

00:08:06.420 --> 00:08:09.420
Go, go, go, go, go. Hi, Sam.

00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:12.420
Tech of the year. Tech of the year? Okay, thank you.

00:08:12.420 --> 00:08:14.420
Emily, hi. What is your tech of the year?

00:08:15.420 --> 00:08:18.420
Fast, fast, fast. Go, go, go, go, go.

00:08:18.420 --> 00:08:21.420
The PSVR. Okay, thank you. What's your tech of the year?

00:08:21.420 --> 00:08:25.420
Rico GR3. Why are you dressed so nice? I have to go to a party later.

00:08:25.420 --> 00:08:29.420
I wasn't invited. Connor, what is your tech of the year?

00:08:29.420 --> 00:08:33.420
My tech of the year? I don't know.

00:08:33.420 --> 00:08:36.420
Go, go, go. Sorry, the Rico I bought. Okay.

00:08:36.420 --> 00:08:41.420
Hi, Mark. What's your tech of the year? Tech of the year?

00:08:41.420 --> 00:08:44.420
Fast, fast. We're speedrunning. We're speedrunning.

00:08:44.420 --> 00:08:47.420
Go, go, go. We're speedrunning. We got that.

00:08:47.420 --> 00:08:50.420
I got that. Okay, okay. We got to go.

00:08:50.420 --> 00:08:53.420
We got to go. No time. No time.

00:08:53.420 --> 00:08:56.420
Oh, you got security camera? Okay. You want to tell us which one and where you live?

00:08:56.420 --> 00:09:02.420
All right. Nicole, what's your tech of the year? Very, very, very controversial, but I like it.

00:09:02.420 --> 00:09:06.420
That's Nick. Eli, what's your tech of the year?

00:09:06.420 --> 00:09:09.420
My tech of the year is something handheld related.

00:09:09.420 --> 00:09:12.420
Ploof, what's your tech of the year? Oh, it's always some keyboard. That's really cool.

00:09:12.420 --> 00:09:20.420
Marcus, what's your tech of the year? Oh, I love the PS5.

00:09:20.420 --> 00:09:24.420
So you hold the mic here for a second.

00:09:24.420 --> 00:09:27.420
Hi. My tech of the year. I'm putting this here.

00:09:27.420 --> 00:09:30.420
Sorry. Does it have to have come out this year?

00:09:30.420 --> 00:09:37.420
Yes. 2023. Well, that, that makes things more difficult because I can't even, I can't even think

00:09:37.420 --> 00:09:42.420
of like use this year that I haven't already had for like three years.

00:09:42.420 --> 00:09:45.420
This tech of the year is a computer. Thank you. Yeah.

00:09:45.420 --> 00:09:48.420
My phone's downstairs. I forgot it. Oh, NVIDIA has great pricing.

00:09:48.420 --> 00:09:51.420
Oh, NVIDIA has great pricing. Highlight of the year. That is the highlight of the year.

00:09:51.420 --> 00:09:57.420
Yeah. Good job, fans. Not, not, not led, not, not coached any way possible.

00:09:57.420 --> 00:10:00.420
Nothing happened. All right. Cool.

00:10:00.420 --> 00:10:03.420
Thanks. You have nothing. What do you mean?

00:10:03.420 --> 00:10:06.420
Like there was the vision pro announcement, but that was like literally an infomercial,

00:10:06.420 --> 00:10:10.420
like a concept video and everything else is just kind of like, hmm.

00:10:10.420 --> 00:10:13.420
So, so no, no, no tech of the year.

00:10:13.420 --> 00:10:16.420
No tech deserves an award to year. No.

00:10:16.420 --> 00:10:20.420
I have an answer. Okay. But I don't know, I don't know how to say it though.

00:10:20.420 --> 00:10:26.420
Just say it. Earlier in the year, myself and Alex went to San Diego and we saw this laser.

00:10:26.420 --> 00:10:33.420
I can't remember what was called. I can't remember what was called the ultra high EV or something like that laser.

00:10:33.420 --> 00:10:37.420
My tech of the year. Yeah. That shirt for one.

00:10:37.420 --> 00:10:40.420
You know what my favorite tech is? That's amazing.

00:10:40.420 --> 00:10:46.420
My favorite tech is tech length. You're supposed to ask me what my favorite tech of the year is.

00:10:46.420 --> 00:10:50.420
Why are you, are you just going around telling people what your favorite tech of the year is?

00:10:50.420 --> 00:10:53.420
Is that this video? No. Maybe.

00:10:53.420 --> 00:10:56.420
I mean, thank you for saying that. It makes me feel nice.

00:10:56.420 --> 00:10:59.420
You're welcome. It's not tech though. So that's wrong.

00:10:59.420 --> 00:11:02.420
You need to fix. Okay. Change that.

00:11:02.420 --> 00:11:07.420
Am I linking the game already?

00:11:07.420 --> 00:11:12.420
What is your tech of the year, Jacob?

00:11:12.420 --> 00:11:20.420
Pass. You can double give the next person.

00:11:20.420 --> 00:11:23.420
I don't know what to do anymore. Oh, you have an answer now?

00:11:23.420 --> 00:11:28.420
All right. Just because you're my favorite Riley Murdock in the company.

00:11:28.420 --> 00:11:33.420
I just scroll down here. I had to go look, I had to go look at what we reported on.

00:11:33.420 --> 00:11:37.420
I forget, you know, like it goes in one ear and out the other.

00:11:37.420 --> 00:11:40.420
Snapdragon X Elite looks, I'm excited for that to come out.

00:11:40.420 --> 00:11:43.420
That's next year though. It's Qualcomm's like answer to the M1.

00:11:43.420 --> 00:11:46.420
Like it's going to be like ARM powered Windows chips.

00:11:46.420 --> 00:11:50.420
So maybe it'll be good. Might be horrible. Let's interview our favorite CEO.

00:11:50.420 --> 00:11:53.420
What is your tech of the year?

00:11:53.420 --> 00:12:01.420
Come sit here, Brandon. So what is your tech of the year?

00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:06.420
Tech of the year? I just got a 240 Hertz monitor for the first time.

00:12:06.420 --> 00:12:12.420
Life changing. I'm Chase and my tech of the year was some 2,000 million Hertz monitor.

00:12:12.420 --> 00:12:16.420
That's your tech of the year, right? Five million Hertz monitor.

00:12:16.420 --> 00:12:22.420
Yes, I came up with that. I handed it. We're doing a five million Hertz monitor.

00:12:22.420 --> 00:12:25.420
What's your tech of the year? My what?

00:12:25.420 --> 00:12:28.420
Tech of the year. Tech of the year? Oh.

00:12:30.420 --> 00:12:32.420
Yeah. That's it.

00:12:33.420 --> 00:12:36.420
That's crazy. Did chart GPD come out this year?

00:12:36.420 --> 00:12:42.420
No. No, I think it's 2021. But I'm really impressed with all the AI development this year.

00:12:42.420 --> 00:12:47.420
I have to say like in Photoshop and all that, that's, I feel the AI changed a lot of them.

00:12:47.420 --> 00:12:50.420
Help a lot in the daily so workflow and stuff.

00:12:50.420 --> 00:12:52.420
I'm sweating so hot.

00:12:53.420 --> 00:12:56.420
Or am I just sweating because I'm next to my bestie?

00:12:56.420 --> 00:12:58.420
Can I type? Look at my keyboard.

00:13:01.420 --> 00:13:05.420
What is, what is, what is, what is, sorry. I'm just so nervous around my bestie.

00:13:05.420 --> 00:13:08.420
I just get really nervous. I'm really sweaty. Don't touch me.

00:13:09.420 --> 00:13:14.420
Damn. That's a good question. I want to say.

00:13:14.420 --> 00:13:19.420
Is it your McNugget buddies? Well, I want to say their tech products, but I mean, shout out Kerwin Frost.

00:13:19.420 --> 00:13:22.420
I want to say like Steam Deck OLED.

00:13:22.420 --> 00:13:25.420
I'm going to go crazy. The limited edition one looks sick.

00:13:27.420 --> 00:13:30.420
This is no joke. What? Give me this.

00:13:30.420 --> 00:13:33.420
Give me this. My tech of the year is the ASUS ROG Ally.

00:13:33.420 --> 00:13:37.420
I'm not even just saying that because ASUS is here. It's the thing that I play with the most.

00:13:37.420 --> 00:13:40.420
Yes. Yeah. I love the ASUS.

00:13:40.420 --> 00:13:43.420
Yes. ASUS. ROG, ROG, ROG Ally.

00:13:43.420 --> 00:13:46.420
ROG, ROG, ROG ASUS. I love ASUS.

00:13:46.420 --> 00:13:51.420
ASUS? Some of the software gets a little weird, no offense, but otherwise it's super dope.

00:13:51.420 --> 00:13:55.420
Can I have a free one? Stop, Sammy. No soliciting.

00:13:55.420 --> 00:13:58.420
Does this work? Yeah, it works. It's so much power.

00:13:58.420 --> 00:14:01.420
I'm sorry. Jeff, what are your thoughts? On what?

00:14:01.420 --> 00:14:04.420
My show. Your show? Get over here.

00:14:04.420 --> 00:14:07.420
Dude. Your show sucks, dude. What?

00:14:09.420 --> 00:14:12.420
All right. Why am I dual-built? All right.

00:14:12.420 --> 00:14:15.420
We'll go with Sean here. Sean Caldera. What is your tech of the year?

00:14:15.420 --> 00:14:18.420
My tech of the year is the ASUS ROG Ally.

00:14:18.420 --> 00:14:21.420
ROG Ally. Do you want extreme version? Yes.

00:14:21.420 --> 00:14:25.420
Right here. It's capable.

00:14:25.420 --> 00:14:33.420
I love the ROG Ally. Honestly, tech of the year, though, is probably the LTT Store water bottle.

00:14:33.420 --> 00:14:36.420
Nope. No free cloud. No free cloud.

00:14:36.420 --> 00:14:40.420
This guy never works. He's always walking around. We caught you three times.

00:14:40.420 --> 00:14:44.420
They were all my lunch breaks, so thank you.

00:14:44.420 --> 00:14:47.420
I know we gave out three 30-minute breaks. That's crazy.

00:14:47.420 --> 00:14:51.420
You can. Three 10-minute breaks. That's 30 minutes.

00:14:51.420 --> 00:14:55.420
Is that allowed? What is your tech of the year?

00:14:55.420 --> 00:14:58.420
Tech of the year? Tech of the year. ROG Ally, for sure.

00:14:58.420 --> 00:15:01.420
ROG Ally? Yeah. Why the ROG Ally?

00:15:01.420 --> 00:15:04.420
Why not Steam Deck OLED? More power. Runs Windows.

00:15:04.420 --> 00:15:07.420
It's not about power. It's about how you use the power.

00:15:07.420 --> 00:15:10.420
Yeah. Well, 4-Z-5 actually runs properly. Sorry.

00:15:10.420 --> 00:15:13.420
4-Z-8 runs properly on the ROG Ally versus the Steam Deck, which it does not.

00:15:13.420 --> 00:15:18.420
I was going to say it can't run in Minecraft, but it can.

00:15:18.420 --> 00:15:22.420
We have here a second Linus. What is your tech of the year?

00:15:22.420 --> 00:15:27.420
Tech of the year? Yes. My tech of the year is definitely the Diablo robot.

00:15:27.420 --> 00:15:30.420
Because I got it at the Christmas party.

00:15:30.420 --> 00:15:33.420
Have you actually used it for anything? Kind of.

00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:36.420
I've turned it on and played with it. I plan on doing stuff with it later, but...

00:15:36.420 --> 00:15:39.420
Like what? Making automation things.

00:15:39.420 --> 00:15:43.420
We are now at a creative warehouse. The fashion team complimented my shirt.

00:15:43.420 --> 00:15:47.420
That's the tech of the year. My tech of the year is probably the OLED Steam Deck.

00:15:47.420 --> 00:15:50.420
I mean, come on. Better screen.

00:15:50.420 --> 00:15:53.420
More room for gaming. How can you go wrong?

00:15:53.420 --> 00:15:56.420
Sorry, off topic. I like your Sailor Moon stickers. Thank you.

00:15:56.420 --> 00:16:01.420
They're so nice. I'm going to try and always have like an anime theme to certain things when I can.

00:16:01.420 --> 00:16:04.420
As a prominent tech connoisseur you are.

00:16:04.420 --> 00:16:08.420
I'm just assuming. What is your tech of the year?

00:16:08.420 --> 00:16:13.420
Yeah, I'm so not. I have my tablet, my pencil.

00:16:13.420 --> 00:16:16.420
Was there anything tech in the fashion industry that we should know about?

00:16:16.420 --> 00:16:19.420
Are there my shirts? I need to know about it as well.

00:16:19.420 --> 00:16:22.420
Alright, cool. Thanks. Color changing shirts? Did you see those ones?

00:16:22.420 --> 00:16:25.420
Oh, we're all over the color changing already.

00:16:25.420 --> 00:16:28.420
Yeah, some fun stuff in the works.

00:16:28.420 --> 00:16:31.420
You don't have one? No. What about...

00:16:31.420 --> 00:16:34.420
What about... What about... I don't know.

00:16:34.420 --> 00:16:37.420
I don't know either, to be honest. Cyber truck.

00:16:37.420 --> 00:16:42.420
Is it that? That's not what you said! Cyber truck is my tech of the year because it's so cool.

00:16:42.420 --> 00:16:45.420
Matthew's lying to me. He's lying.

00:16:45.420 --> 00:16:48.420
He's a lie. My tech of the year.

00:16:48.420 --> 00:16:52.420
Oh god. I want an ROG flow at the Christmas party.

00:16:52.420 --> 00:16:55.420
It's like the only thing I bought tech-wise this year. Tech of the year.

00:16:55.420 --> 00:16:58.420
Yes, of all time. You can see nothing. Oh, oh fuck.

00:16:58.420 --> 00:17:01.420
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Oh, 2023, sorry, sorry.

00:17:01.420 --> 00:17:04.420
Sorry I put you on the spot. Sorry, sorry.

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:08.420
I don't think I've bought anything tech-related this year.

00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:11.420
No, I'm like the Steam Deck? No.

00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:14.420
You're saying that's like non-extensive purchase?

00:17:14.420 --> 00:17:18.420
Listen, this is also my first time meeting Ashley and this...

00:17:18.420 --> 00:17:24.420
I'm just, sorry, I'm just really awkward. Sorry, I'm just gonna like transition here.

00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:28.420
Oh yeah, sorry. Yeah, what would you like to buy this year?

00:17:28.420 --> 00:17:31.420
A DeLonghi espresso mochi.

00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:37.420
I don't know what that is, but it sounds cool. It's a very bougie Italian espresso mochi where you make your own, you can steam your

00:17:37.420 --> 00:17:40.420
own milk and grind your own espresso beans.

00:17:40.420 --> 00:17:44.420
It's like $3,000. Yes. What is your tech of the year?

00:17:44.420 --> 00:17:48.420
I've been looking at the Steam Deck. I don't have one, but I like one.

00:17:48.420 --> 00:17:53.420
Stuff I got this year was this high B music player.

00:17:53.420 --> 00:17:59.420
It's okay. It reset all the settings when it ran out of battery, so we'll see how reliable it actually is,

00:17:59.420 --> 00:18:02.420
but... Sorry, I was just wondering, I looked at your anime figures.

00:18:02.420 --> 00:18:06.420
Wow. I know that one. That one's from Hero Something?

00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:10.420
Close enough. Where's it from?

00:18:10.420 --> 00:18:14.420
My hero academia. I got one word right.

00:18:14.420 --> 00:18:19.420
I'm gonna have to say this thing that I literally just installed, I believe like yesterday and

00:18:19.420 --> 00:18:23.420
have yet to properly install.

00:18:23.420 --> 00:18:26.420
It's called the Lightning Fantasy Free.

00:18:26.420 --> 00:18:31.420
It's a sync box for an LDED strip behind like a screen, usually like TVs, so sync to the

00:18:31.420 --> 00:18:34.420
colors being shown. What is your tech of the year?

00:18:34.420 --> 00:18:38.420
This might be a little bit delayed, but that's because I was delayed and that's my PlayStation

00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:42.420
5. You know what? If you bought it this year, just for you, I'll count it.

00:18:42.420 --> 00:18:49.420
Yeah, just for me. Just for you, yeah.

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:52.420
What is your tech of the year?

00:18:52.420 --> 00:18:56.420
How about... Can I say app? This is the worst internet game?

00:18:56.420 --> 00:19:00.420
There's an app that I found that can teach me how to play board games.

00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:04.420
It shows all the tutorials and stuff. You played a lot of board games this year, haven't you?

00:19:04.420 --> 00:19:11.420
Yes. I'm a four board game away from playing like 200 unique games this year.

00:19:11.420 --> 00:19:15.420
How's that even possible? You literally start a new one every day?

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:18.420
Pretty much. I wasn't invited.

00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:21.420
Join me. Like today. There's one today.

00:19:21.420 --> 00:19:24.420
Oh, I'm sick. Sorry. Oh, okay.

00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:28.420
You can say no later, but I'm just gonna...

00:19:28.420 --> 00:19:31.420
I'm not taking this. It's a mod shirt. I don't know if I'm allowed to take it or not.

00:19:31.420 --> 00:19:34.420
Take it? It's not mine. That wasn't even scripted.

00:19:34.420 --> 00:19:37.420
That wasn't even scripted. I need a verbal approval.

00:19:37.420 --> 00:19:41.420
Yes, you can have it. Can I have more stuff?

00:19:41.420 --> 00:19:45.420
What is your tech of the year? My tech of the year.

00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:49.420
I don't know what my tech of the year is. My tech of the year?

00:19:49.420 --> 00:19:58.420
SOLIDWORKS 658093 underscore SLDASM read only.

00:19:58.420 --> 00:20:00.420
That's my tech of the year. Yeah.

00:20:03.420 --> 00:20:07.420
I don't know. I haven't been up on the tech news this year.

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:10.420
You picked the wrong department. Yeah, this is... We don't know what that is.

00:20:10.420 --> 00:20:13.420
This is not a great department. This is like the engineering tech, isn't it?

00:20:13.420 --> 00:20:17.420
Are you busy? Yeah, what's up? Can we bother you for two minutes?

00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:20.420
He's very bothered me, so...

00:20:21.420 --> 00:20:24.420
So, Kyle, what is your tech of the year? Sorry, what?

00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:27.420
What is your tech of the year? Tech of the year.

00:20:27.420 --> 00:20:28.420
Sorry, I said time of the year.

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:34.420
Tech of the year? I'm trying to figure out what tech was released this year.

00:20:34.420 --> 00:20:38.420
Something that's actually pretty cool is Home Assistant did year of the voice this year,

00:20:38.420 --> 00:20:41.420
which basically was voice assistant done locally though,

00:20:41.420 --> 00:20:45.420
so you don't have to rely on Google or Siri or whatever the other ones are.

00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:48.420
I literally got it set up for my AMD upgrade that's happening next year,

00:20:48.420 --> 00:20:53.420
and it freaking works really well. I think they're using a plugin called Open Wake Words,

00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:56.420
which kind of replaces your Hayes Siri with other words,

00:20:56.420 --> 00:21:00.420
or Whisper, which is like an open source speech-to-text conversion,

00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:03.420
and then they're using something called Piper, which is text-to-speech,

00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:06.420
and they're integrating all that together into a local voice assistant

00:21:06.420 --> 00:21:10.420
that can run your smart home, and it actually works pretty decently.

00:21:10.420 --> 00:21:14.420
And then full-flow plain viewers watch my upgrade,

00:21:14.420 --> 00:21:18.420
because I'm going to be making use of that. Is it coming out during CES, so I don't know if it's come out in time, but...

00:21:18.420 --> 00:21:22.420
What? Oh, this is coming out in CES? Yeah, so I don't know if it's going to come out...

00:21:22.420 --> 00:21:25.420
Well, mine's afterwards, because I don't think I'm filming my upgrade before CES.

00:21:25.420 --> 00:21:29.420
Exclusive? If we go exclusive... Exclusive is another exclusive scoop?

00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:32.420
We're going to get Kyle's AMD upgrade soon.

00:21:32.420 --> 00:21:35.420
Next year. Sometime next year. Probably next year.

00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:38.420
Soon TM. Soon TM. Thank you, thank you.

00:21:38.420 --> 00:21:42.420
You already know what the question is. No, he doesn't know what the question is.

00:21:42.420 --> 00:21:45.420
Oh, you changed the question? Well, no, I just got up here.

00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:48.420
My tech of the year. Yes.

00:21:48.420 --> 00:21:51.420
Is that pen that you're using right there a great tech of the year?

00:21:51.420 --> 00:21:55.420
Yes. Can you show off to the camera? Yes, yes.

00:21:55.420 --> 00:21:59.420
Really good pen. Really good pen. Probably the best pen I've ever used.

00:21:59.420 --> 00:22:02.420
Yes, I love B-Pen.

00:22:02.420 --> 00:22:04.420
No free cloud, sorry. No free cloud.

00:22:09.420 --> 00:22:12.420
So that's kind of about everyone we can really record at the moment.

00:22:12.420 --> 00:22:16.420
Unfortunately, because it's Tuesday, a lot of production stuff are kind of starting to ramp up.

00:22:16.420 --> 00:22:20.420
And it's close to the holiday, so we'll be trying to get done before Christmas.

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:24.420
So not a lot of people unfortunately, but we got some great tech of the year.

00:22:24.420 --> 00:22:28.420
And also got a free shirt. So yeah, that's all.

00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:32.420
So please, please, please like the video and tell us, hey, great video.

00:22:32.420 --> 00:22:35.420
And yeah.

00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:37.420
Wait, Sammy, what's your tech of the year?

00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:41.420
Well, I didn't want to brag, but it...
