0:06
man what a week to launch this show eh there's microsoft build 2018 and google
0:11
kicked off io 2018 with a huge batch of news so
0:15
we better get to it first off we've got some details about Android p which
0:19
stands for p penis
0:22
no that's inappropriate p will have new navigation gestures that make it behave
0:27
a lot more like the iphone 10 and samsung's galaxy s9 some people are
0:31
calling google out for copying but apparently palm did it first
0:36
palm did everything first p will also have ai assisted adaptive battery
0:41
technology new app and search predictive abilities called actions and slices and
0:45
the ability to set time limits in certain apps so that once you've reached
0:48
the time limit the app's icon will be grayed out and you'll be unable to use
0:52
it that pathetic
0:56
google has to save us from ourselves now for the real mind blow google
1:00
assistant is getting more natural with the ability to fulfill multiple requests
1:04
at once so you can say hey google navigate home and play my driving
1:09
playlist it will also have a wider range of voices to choose from including john
1:13
legend if you want to hear his voice all the time
1:16
rather than only when you're drawing up a luxurious bubble bath what
1:22
you don't do that my pee is blown oh that sounds terrible
1:26
i don't even want to repeat it but not only that google assistant will be able
1:29
to make actual phone calls by itself to
1:33
book appointments and make reservations for you and
1:36
it's kind of creepy and amazing at the same time
1:40
just listen i'll have something out for you
1:44
hi i'm calling to book a women's haircut for our clients um i'm looking for
1:48
something on may 3rd give me one
1:55
that was a real call you just heard what
1:59
those people don't even know they're talking to a robot
2:03
this is how the world ends with some um's and oz okay we gotta go
2:07
fast now Linus you're slowing me down i've got to get through there's a lot of
2:11
stuff to get through i'm not even doing anything oh this isn't making it faster
2:15
gmail will basically just write your emails for you now with smart compose if
2:19
you just want to finally accept your status as a shell of a former human
2:22
google lens will be embedded in the default camera app of certain phone
2:25
models and will be able to copy text from images and find objects with
2:28
similar styles in real time google's ar core platform can now be used to have
2:33
multiplayer experiences in ar
2:36
3d tic-tac-toe is here that's how you know it's the future no one can find my
2:40
style one of a kind baby if you were on lens
2:44
no one would be like what is this i don't know how to interpret it
2:49
socks and sandals no one maps is getting lists group event
2:53
planning features a 4u tab with recommendations and augmented reality
2:58
walking directions using google's visual positioning system or vps chromebooks
3:03
will be able to run native Linux apps with the pixelbook obviously getting in
3:06
the feature first and google announced the 3.0 version of its tensor processing
3:10
unit with over 100 pedaflops
3:14
of power i'm not sure how pedaflops translates to
3:17
gigawatts what do you think doc i just want to know what the animal rights
3:21
activists are going to think of this because payday flops
3:26
i get it one thing we didn't get to cover from microsoft build 2018 yesterday was the
3:30
upcoming Windows sets feature sets will essentially use microsoft edge as a
3:34
browser for your entire pc when you open a new tab you'll be able to not only
3:39
open web pages but also files and applications this will allow you to keep
3:43
separate Windows with tabbed pages from multiple apps it'll also work with
3:46
timelines so you can pick up using a group of apps from your laptop Android
3:50
or iOS device and alt tab between the tabs in one window
3:55
it seems like a pretty drastic design change so i can crash everything with
3:58
edge yeah you can crash whatever you want all at one time
4:03
it seems like a pretty drastic design change so we'll have to wait to see when
4:07
or if it makes it to the main release in the meantime you can use the separate
4:11
desktops function in Windows because that's
4:14
essentially what that is so
4:17
it's time for quick bits my favorite and Linus hates it and today they're being
4:21
brought to you courtesy of our bros at dbrand they've got awesome vinyl skins
4:26
for laptops phones tablets consoles controllers and pretty much anything
4:29
else you'd want a skin to be on top of they use high quality
4:33
authentic true textured 3m vinyl on every product and feature unrivaled
4:38
precision in fact they work for over a year with 3m to research and develop
4:41
skins for the nintendo switch they use a unique adhesive to protect the console
4:45
and joy-cons without damaging anything on removal they got really close with 3m
4:49
during that year and they're gonna go on a retreat this summer actually it's gonna be wet and wild with affordable
4:53
pricing and worldwide shipping they'll make you say oh boy do i want one of
4:57
those d brands to be my friend check it out at the link below
5:02
on to the quick bits nintendo has finally released details about how its
5:06
nintendo online service is going to work while it will enable online play cloud
5:11
saves and offer access to a selection of classic nes games it will not bring the
5:15
virtual console with it so if you want to play the original versions of some
5:19
gamecube and wii games ebay and craigslist will welcome you with open
5:22
arms dirty sometimes sticky but they're open dota is adding its own
5:28
battle royale mode sort of with a new mode called the under hollow where
5:32
multiple teams will quest through a dungeon fighting npc monsters and each
5:36
other before the labyrinth collapses maybe it'll end with you jumping on a
5:40
bandwagon and riding out of there to safety
5:46
that's not bad flying cars are a cool idea but it seems like as a society
5:49
we're just going to settle on making small planes slash drones and calling
5:53
them flying cars or at least uber will the company showed off their latest
5:57
decidedly uncar-like design recently and sure it's cool
6:02
it's just not a car it's a plane helicopter bus thing
6:07
which Linus likes to call
6:11
i got nothing he's got nothing
6:14
a plane helicopter busting we can just call it that NVIDIA claimed high refresh
6:18
rate 4k monitors with g-sync and HDR would be launching soon and now it
6:22
appears that the first one the acer x27 will finally be launching in the next
6:26
few weeks so buckle up boys and a german service called games
6:31
from space promises to get you free games if you only let them mine
6:35
cryptocurrency on your GPU this might be a bad idea for a number of
6:40
reasons primarily because electricity costs money and you might just end up paying
6:45
more on your hydro bowl and secondly we know the games aren't from space guys
6:49
you think games are just floating around up there they're not yeah there's like
6:52
nebulas comets
6:56
