00:00:00
[Music] all right welcome back to another episode of the waveform podcasts we're your hosts i'm marquez and i'm andrew and we've got a third host it's a
00:00:12
special format this time it's a game show uh is a little bit all over the place it's kind of wild we've got questions from different sources we've got different answers we've also got some q a
00:00:23
after everything so it's going to be a fun one but that's what waveform is all about in the middle of summer buckle up so the format
00:00:31
for this game show is going to be david hosting asking the questions me versus andrew answering the questions uh
00:00:39
we both have an ipad here in front of us david's got the host ipad so he can start the countdown and we can literally
00:00:45
buzz in whoever buzzes in first we'll get to answer and then the questions themselves are mostly about uh
00:00:51
tech from the first half of this year so it's june we're right around the halfway point of 2021 we've got a fair amount of
00:00:57
tech that's come out a fair amount of videos and projects that we've worked on and so that in theory is what the
00:01:03
questions are about uh some of them are written by adam and david some of them are actually written
00:01:10
by you guys from the discord so we've we've pinged you guys and asked you i have not
00:01:15
checked that channel of the discord yet so you guys have been writing some great game show questions i hear and
00:01:21
we'll try to answer them it's been killing me because somebody like pinged me in it but i refused to click on the actual
00:01:27
channel so i don't see any of you i've just had a notification sitting for like 24 hours and it's driving me insane i'm
00:01:33
glad you didn't check i'm glad you didn't cheat that's good all right that's what he says at least yeah yeah i guess uh i just wanna you you have all
00:01:40
the questions already that you collected so computer may the best uh trivia buzzer win yeah i guess yeah
00:01:48
yeah a lot of these are definitely from um the videos that we made in the first half of 2021 all right i
00:01:54
really hope i get these then okay or at least that i know them even if i don't buzz first i hope i know them all right adam you ready oh wait dude we
00:02:01
want adam made adam made correct and all right so do you want to give us a little test example here adam give us a a right answer sound all right and give us a wrong answer
00:02:14
sound okay all right that's it yeah i know which one i want to hear really insult to injury with that yeah wrong answer all right all right i think we're ready
00:02:25
ready yeah okay question one name one or all of the topics from the first episode of this year's waveform podcast
00:02:41
marquez is that at first yeah i buzzed uh it's got to be ces we must have talked about ces at some point during january's first episode
00:02:52
no yeah we didn't talk about ces at all because the first episode wasn't gonna be yeah it's pre there wasn't
00:02:58
really a ces and it was pre probably wednesday i think it was because cs was like the six we skipped the very
00:03:04
the very first friday was january 1st and then the next friday still would have been before when
00:03:09
quote-unquote ces comes out we didn't even talk about the fact that i don't think we even virtual yeah my i get do i get a chance yeah you
00:03:17
gotta hit the buzzer though so i can get you points okay um i think you i'm gonna guess that there is a did you say i have to name all of them or you can name
00:03:28
i'll give you points based on how many you can i'm gonna guess there was a what are you excited for this year q a um
00:03:37
that's all i really have a guess for to be honest okay there's yeah that's kinda wrong okay marquez do you want to rebuttal no i i don't remember okay i feel like i
00:03:49
should give you one point andrew because it was smartphone rumors and predictions which is kind of what are you excited
00:03:54
for unless you don't i thought it was specifically a q a though so so i won't give you don't give me a point i won't i won't take it it makes me so i mean what's kind of funny about that this is
00:04:05
our first year of doing or we just started weekly podcast stuff so it's way more
00:04:11
jumbled together than it used to be yeah all right zero zero okay yeah zero out of the gates almost gates are
00:04:18
open question wait what was the answer oh right all right the answer was actually 20 21
00:04:26
smartphone rumors or predictions the tycan sets a new cross-country cannonball record oh yeah
00:04:31
okay wow we did that that early okay yeah yeah and then the next episode was probably the interview yep i think
00:04:38
it was like directly after that yeah okay cool all right question two buzzer finger ready what was the most viewed nkbhd video
00:04:51
so far this year marquez got it first air tags unboxing and demo yeah correct yeah yeah apple hardware i was i've originally thought f-150 that's got
00:05:05
to be like second order yeah yeah air tags is i think seven million people have watched that
00:05:11
7.2 or something yeah which is crazy i think f-150 is like 5.9 or something i was like
00:05:16
kind of sad that the unboxing and demo got like 7.2 and then our actual like analysis of the market got like
00:05:23
that's tech youtube baby that's always how it goes i've said this before companies love the
00:05:29
fact that the first impressions are always the the biggest most lasting impression people have so if you can
00:05:35
make a great first impression that's great apple knows that google knows that samsung they all know that so
00:05:40
yep that one didn't shock me yeah i'm glad i remembered though i got it right yeah yeah one point one point
00:05:46
sick oh look i have a score oh it says i have one point on that just tell me how bad standing all right
00:05:52
sick exciting all right for the record that question was from rich mondulo on discord and the first one was from
00:06:00
foursbox7 nice thank you to both of you i hope you all have great usernames i'm banning
00:06:05
both of you because i got them both wrong [Laughter] [Music] so i'm just you guys should be scared of
00:06:11
andrew i don't know how i've gotten that like everyone says andrew's scary on discord
00:06:18
so andrew's the least scary person possible i don't know what you're talking about
00:06:24
well now i have one place to be scary soon all right question three what is the first graphic easter egg that adam put in the video version of the podcast
00:06:40
ever yes oh man okay actually i think so the first episode that he edited did you guys not watch the video bud you guys do but i'm trying to remember the first one there's so many
00:07:00
uh the first episode oh wait the first video one was like i think we titled it our first podcast our first video podcast um i forgot
00:07:13
i don't know i don't know i don't remember the topics because i don't remember the type because the title was
00:07:18
that it just needs to be the first graphic but i feel like i need to that adam added i thought it was gonna be a trick
00:07:30
question and maybe be like the new intro that we had michael created but i'm stuck do you want to work together on this one yeah we might get turned out yeah what is the timeout is this does
00:07:47
the boat horn count as the time house that might be we might have to have adam adam should probably answer this one you should fill us in the first one was the head shots that we all took in the
00:07:59
studio because you guys were mentioning everyone in the studio and i had their headshots pop up in the video i never ever would have
00:08:05
guessed that yeah i don't know if i would have said yeah it's an easter egg i guess that's why i chose
00:08:12
i would have guessed it was like some sort of if it was a total guess i would have guessed like a car graphic of like some some graphs that
00:08:19
showed like range or zero to 60s or something just because we talk about evs all the time and that's like a nice little
00:08:26
yeah a nice little graphic to talk yeah that came from maverick on discord and he said to do or she the easter egg
00:08:33
but i watched like 20 minutes of that first episode and could not find one so i changed it to graphics
00:08:41
good to know you guys are way behind hey if that teaches us anything it's watch the video podcast there is definitely way more to this trivia in the video version than there
00:08:52
is in the audio version that's fair also edits the crap out of these i'm sure this will look really nice this will also be in
00:08:58
like things a clip as well if you're like if you listen to this whole episode and really want to see just the trivia aspect
00:09:04
and just do a clip that'll be there too all right this next one is kind of fun okay the way this works is uh
00:09:11
in otter and otter in honor of the oppo find x3 pro with a microscope camera oh here are three more than three here are many close-up
00:09:24
images of random objects oh whoever gets the most correct wins okay did you guys go take these or are these the ones from our videos these are not even actually necessarily from the upper finder okay
00:09:36
they're just in honor mike okay in honor of that oh i thought i was gonna have to remember what we shot our photos of
00:09:42
no i was kind of excited i could have done that all right okay i'm gonna show you guys the first one now we just have to identify what
00:09:49
they might be describe them too oh my god you gotta hit the buzzer it looks like hair describing it's hard
00:09:57
because i i want to hit the buzzer first it just looks like a paintbrush tip really really zoomed in
00:10:03
but there's no way andrew a paintbrush tip really really zoomed in adam correct wow gotta hit the button baby wow oh yeah for those audio listeners
00:10:15
someone decided to say it out loud without pressing the button so andrew wins sick all right
00:10:22
all right here's that's a good this i was thinking like regular brush ready yeah get ready
00:10:28
to hit the buzzer describe it black textured with a white x through the middle i'm
00:10:39
guessing like oh my gosh black x with a texture i'm guessing like paint no wait andrew's next uh
00:10:50
tile and grout nope okay we want to go again i mean it looks like a piece of apparel with like rubber like letters on it closer
00:11:04
but i yeah i couldn't tell you what exactly that is it's just it's an x it's a really zoomed in x
00:11:16
it's a key on a keyboard of an x a keyboard oh wow so i was right technically i mean i didn't buzz whatever i i don't deserve that point i don't think so that was that was tough
00:11:28
yeah okay okay all right third one ready yes oh i know what that is but you beat me andrew ballpoint pen yeah yep well done okay that was one of
00:11:44
the easier ones marquez is too busy making sure it's a fun active show and i'm just like zeroed in on the buzzer right now you
00:11:51
ready here we go number four it's interesting that it's like kind of cliff like andrew uh i'm guessing the edge of a carpet
00:12:06
nope i'm gonna buzz i might be wrong but i think it looks kind of like the side of a triscuit it does it
00:12:14
it has hair on it though i mean maybe a triscuit that landed on the floor where mac lays down it does so it's tan
00:12:20
it has grooves it i think it looks like fabric because it has little pieces of hair coming off but
00:12:26
it's like buzzing right at the side i'll let you about again if you want to this feels like an unfair advantage for audio listeners marquez is leaning
00:12:38
over the table looking really closely into the screen he's trying to magnify this message i
00:12:44
still can't tell what that is i don't know all right it's a book like pages of a book oh page oh from
00:12:52
wait can i see it from the side like those are like if you put the pages all together
00:12:57
things look quite different is that can i guess what book it is just a random image we found on the
00:13:02
internet i don't know i keep thinking these are things that are in the studio no okay all right there we go again ready
00:13:25
what does it look like a crystal like a crystal on something i'm gonna i buzzed yeah i'm just gonna say i think it's ice
00:13:36
i don't know what part of ice no sand nope this is a really good picture i know but i don't know what it is i buzzed if only the oppo find x3
00:13:51
you're close i will tell you you're close it's like it's very clearly a close-up shot of something that looks like a
00:13:57
crystal so i don't know what essentially it could be like what else i think of salt is like it's a diamond nope salt was closed very small diamond
00:14:08
that was closed oh salt was close yeah yeah i don't know what else could be close to salt that's like close in that it's a seasoning and then
00:14:21
yeah i'm i think i give up okay do you give up yeah i do it's sugar sugar really i didn't know sugar was that sugar crisp fine as close no yeah that makes sense yep the
00:14:33
oppo find x3 pro could not have taken any of these maybe the book one the ball point the bottom had good enough lighting i think yeah it
00:14:40
did some good ones i'm hoping that eventually it gets this good but if they make if they even make it i do remember we
00:14:46
spent a lot of time with that walking like it's fine you took pictures of everything in this it's definitely fun
00:14:51
yeah i bet so if you oh if you if you showed me the photos from the video that we took i could probably identify like at least three quarters of the things we
00:15:02
took photos of because i remember like wow that's what the pool table looks like right that's what a pool cue looks like
00:15:08
coffee bean matched the head of a match uh key so you know gimmick feature on a phone yes but yeah it's still pretty cool i
00:15:19
debated using those pictures but i thought it would have been unfair to andrew oh yeah i mean i use think i recommended
00:15:26
half of them yeah it was like that was like a team effort of us just running around yeah throwing things at marquez to take
00:15:31
pictures yeah i appreciate trying to keep it uh i tried pg thank you thank you all right
00:15:37
all right ready yes oh it's already started wait is it yeah i think so okay andrew was first screw boom
00:15:51
yep man i got the easy ones oh andrew's three the fingers it's all on the three three two one on
00:15:56
the fingers fastest in the west i need to buzz faster despite being on the east coast i need to buzz faster because there's no penalty for being wrong this
00:16:03
is true well you get the other person gets a longer time to yeah that's fair are you ready yes
00:16:17
and just first soap bubble boom i used oh boy i was gonna say that but then i got okay i was a little worried about it because it's it just looks like a bunch of like
00:16:29
refractions kind of really cool it looks really cool but i would almost expect the soap to look like that from further
00:16:35
back not that zoomed in i would expect zoomed in to be more specific on one like refraction yeah all
00:16:42
right this is the last one i need this question i need this i need this whoever wins this one gets three points
00:16:49
three points okay could kill me but yeah let's see can you turn it a little is it very dark it is very dark oh that's velcro
00:17:03
boom hey i've seen velcro from a bunch of weird angles i don't know why it's like a bunch of hooks
00:17:09
yeah it's just it's just a bunch of small nylon hooks each other yeah weird velcro what a great invention
00:17:15
thanks nasa boom i just caught up on one question this wasn't rigged at all i can't feel that bad since my first point was based on stealing your answers yeah andrew also won the last one so i
00:17:27
have to give a little bit of an advantage oh wait did you win the last one or did mark has one no we keep it fair we keep it fair i
00:17:33
thought i lost the last time i made my last it was very close well i'll make it i'll keep it fair for
00:17:39
you no just keep it pa yeah we're good i just didn't want to be have marquez be too far behind you know
00:17:44
what i'm saying okay four four back to regular questions okay yeah okay this is an actual question regular
00:17:50
question all right ready name the correct order of retro tech season two episodes
00:18:04
and the bonus one that was youtube red exclusive is not not in there it's not in there
00:18:10
that's the only one i'm like completely positive on i know are youtube premium is that what
00:18:16
they call now yeah i think it's called youtube premium okay all right here we go number one flying cars nice number two teleportation number
00:18:30
three this is where it's tough i think it's smart homes nope yeah did i just stop there i can't guess
00:18:40
anymore adam what do you think i mean i think it would be your benefit to stop there because you guess any more
00:18:46
than i'm giving you yeah okay okay all right i'm gonna try here but i don't know if i even know it's five right yes okay
00:18:54
i get to just go yeah okay flying cars smart homes no flying cars was the hero okay for sure teleportation was the next best episode put it second loved it then it was
00:19:10
either smart homes or hyper or hybrid communication was the behind the paywall one right
00:19:16
where it was or what are we calling it for connection hyper connectivity that's what it's called wearables is behind the scenes so
00:19:22
wearables is behind so it was hyper connectivity smart home all right i'm not doing the
00:19:27
order okay i got the rest of it hyper connectivity smart homes and what was the last one
00:19:33
uh retrotech future wearables that was wearables you know the grass tyson talked about
00:19:40
flying cars humanoid robots um i have to remember you guys kidding now you guys can buzz
00:19:46
in i did it already oh you already did it yeah you already got it all right you just hit it again yeah okay uh oh man
00:19:52
no just start from the beginning okay i know what it is now i got it now as soon as you're wrong so
00:19:58
that oh can i okay i already messed this up i already forgot the beginning ones i got it yeah just give it to marcus
00:20:10
i buzzed it in because i remembered the end but i forgot okay so number one flying cars
00:20:17
number two teleportation yep number three humanoid robots yes number four smart homes no hyper connectivity then smart home well i feel like we're at the part yeah
00:20:29
we should just end this question and no one gets points yeah i mean to be fair like getting five
00:20:34
in a row is pretty difficult you know especially knowing that there were some favorite children in there [Laughter]
00:20:41
it's okay at least you both got four points now so sick all right all right well if any of you at home got
00:20:48
that before they did you can feel better that would be really impressive very impressive if you got that one at home
00:20:54
it is much harder because retrotech is shot so much different than we're used to where it's like you're shooting all of
00:21:00
those episodes at the same time oh yeah like you shot neil in one day and that was for every single
00:21:05
episode lots of overlap there yeah we're very used to a schedule of like when you guys see a video that was the last thing
00:21:11
we worked on and it's very very very rare that we're working on something in between there so we just know like
00:21:18
what do we work on last it was that's the last video and what did we work on before that the video before that
00:21:23
yeah so that was shot for about eight weeks on and off in the studio and in the city a bit with
00:21:28
the team and i'm when i was trying to remember the order i was trying to remember the way the thumbnails appear
00:21:34
in the shelf in my head that's what i was kind of i remember when we were first doing all the thumbnails
00:21:40
yeah we had like this it was three on top three on the bottom and i was trying to imagine that yeah where
00:21:46
was smart homes again was that four it was the last last one the last one yeah i really thought i remembered smart homes bottom quarter but maybe that
00:21:51
wasn't the order maybe that's why i wearables was technically second but it was the youtube premium one
00:21:56
well it came out because it came at the same time as the first one and they just kept that paywall okay
00:22:02
for the record that question came from blood tiger xg shout out to the discord so now so now
00:22:08
we're on the same page it was teleportation first episode flying cars flying cars number one teleportation number two
00:22:18
then we had humanoid robots number three then we had wearables number four hyper connected hyper connectivity
00:22:23
number four wearables number five no and then smart homes and then wearables was paywall i'm just gonna stop okay i'm just gonna stop that's okay this is i would never be able to get this
00:22:35
like like that was a great question i don't think i could even like recite the last five things i had for
00:22:41
dinner so that me neither that sounds pretty hard actually yeah exactly this is even harder than that that's what i'm saying okay all right number six this one comes from
00:22:52
adam and i are still four four yeah still far far all right in the best mac i've ever reviewed video mac
00:23:00
has a few basic specs that pop up on screen what were they pop up on screen what we talked about is specs
00:23:15
i remember like a lot of things can i name one there are three you can get a point for each one for
00:23:21
each one for each one uh i buzzed but i don't know yeah okay one of them was definitely his eyes so i'm gonna say we went with like uh mono monochrome sensors up front i
00:23:34
think i labeled that and then no we didn't yeah it's because i remember there was like i think we talked about that but we didn't there's a lot of things we talked about we talked about like wireless charging we
00:23:44
talked about him just did we talk about speed like we just talked about him being fast but i don't think it necessarily i
00:23:51
don't remember those if there's anyone also confused about what we're talking about the best mac ever was a dog not
00:23:58
a computer yeah if you're an audio listener yeah you should definitely watch that video uh we'll put it in show notes but
00:24:05
it was not a piece of tech this is our april fool's day video which is a blast to make um and we made a lot of jokes about yeah
00:24:11
monochrome sensors in the front and wireless charging on his bed and that he was fast and that he was bad at learning new tricks and stuff like that but i don't
00:24:21
i think you guys are overthinking it those are like the features from the video there's like one shot where you
00:24:27
just one shot yeah yeah yeah i'm trying to think of what specifically you know it was it not the same shot that the thumbnail was like the physical shot it was like this is the midsize
00:24:40
model hold on can i buzz again andrew are you gonna uh i don't know give up your time yeah i'll give up my time okay buzz again if you want but uh we said it was the
00:24:52
the color i don't remember the color we made up but we named the color but we didn't list it on screen we didn't also i think we
00:24:59
called it like mocha cream oh we did yeah that wasn't one of them the mid-size model is that the other one
00:25:05
no i'm we put his weight yes and his height yes and his name no man okay but what did we write what was his weight in his height and
00:25:18
andrew you could buzz in oh he's about 35 pounds and i think his height was probably in
00:25:24
inches i just don't know what it is yeah i don't know i don't know like i mean i'm gonna huh and are you waiting
00:25:31
wait wait should be here weight should be 30 pounds okay and then height did did we do
00:25:38
24 inches was it inches or was it feet can i do two feet or 24 inches you could do two feet slash 24 inches oh dude was it centimeters because i have no
00:25:50
idea two feet and how many inches oh two weeks did we oh wow okay pretty good so i give you each two points because marquez said weight in height yeah and andrew
00:26:08
said the exact same thing there's one more there's one more thing cue the music weight height and one more spec and it's not color because we already it
00:26:20
wasn't color wasn't name did we it wasn't breed we didn't do the just like good boy raiding right there did we hmm that was at the end we just gave 11 out
00:26:31
of 10. this one's a little hard so um i can give you a hint but i feel like andrew's
00:26:42
yeah what model number year right you get one point for that so but then 2013. [Music] wow
00:26:56
yes [Music] i got too excited boom got the year second try let's go cool all right no i just like the 20 sylla thank you
00:27:10
yeah that was incredible i'm glad you uh look we have for you you're after hammerheads
00:27:16
andrew's now two points ahead it was yeah eight to six i'm sorry mac if you're watching this i
00:27:23
promise i know you're so don't you know how old he is he knew your exact height and weight so that's pretty cool that's pretty good
00:27:29
that's pretty cool yeah i don't even know my exact weight yeah because it fluctuates yeah i don't know are we guessing buzzing
00:27:40
damn um i mean darn okay so uh question seven yes how long is the longest and shortest videos in the first half of
00:27:54
the year you can say you can say what the video is and then you also get you get two points if you get close enough to the time code what's
00:28:05
close enough you know 10 seconds i'm just gonna start spewing things and you can tell me if i get any points okay are you guessing longest or shorter
00:28:11
longest okay uh what i really think of the iphone correct 20 no how long was that video whoo 42 minutes that's my guess
00:28:24
47 you can tell me if the ballpark i don't know if i'm 46 20. whoever's closer andrew is way
00:28:30
closer really 47 58. wow nice okay all right so it's one vote you've got a point okay
00:28:36
so shortest videos shortest in 2021 in 2021 yes okay this one usually gets me i don't usually remember the shortest the mac video was pretty short i don't think it was back video though
00:28:50
it's going to be an unexpected one i'm guessing air tags definitely not air tags had a whole demo and everything it's gotta be just an unboxing i'm gonna go with the oh can
00:29:01
i buzz is it the iphone 12 purple no that was the second shortest shorter oh wow i know i was actually really surprised that this was shorter than that yeah um wow did we announce but we had
00:29:12
like a two minute like luminar thing in the iphone 12 thing oh that's true that's true so that's why oh it would have been the shortest yeah
00:29:19
okay um did we announce anything like channel specific this year no like video podcast came out but we didn't oh that was like we threw that at the end of a video yeah right yeah yeah
00:29:32
think of it's six months so it's quite a while yeah a lot of stuff has happened that seems really old but isn't that old if you
00:29:38
think about it yeah but what was small in the last year it doesn't even necessarily need to be a small thing yeah that's video short i'm just trying to
00:29:49
give you hints yeah so he's like this came out in january yeah which makes me think it's not
00:29:55
necessarily large no no it's not necessarily large small in terms of like importance is
00:30:00
what i'm saying it's not necessarily small in terms of importance just because the video is short it's
00:30:06
also hard because like we didn't do a straight up ios one we did like an ios the shortest videos yeah the the shortest videos are typically unboxings
00:30:17
because not much happens after the unboxing unless you get into first impressions there's event recaps but those are
00:30:22
usually pretty long reviews are usually pretty long so maybe ooh maybe it's the s
00:30:28
i'm buzzing yep maybe it's the uh front-facing camera behind the glass video that was pretty short no no that was a pretty short one though yeah yeah yeah that was that was the third
00:30:39
shortest really yeah oh my god you guys i'm all over this one yeah i'm getting warmer i'm like pretty
00:30:47
injured you have a follow-up no do you want to go one more hint okay do you want to reset the button
00:30:53
okay sure it was a phone a video about a phone okay and remember six months was it that so it could have been any time within the last six months the find x3 no no i wasn't sure if maybe
00:31:10
we just did the most of the microscope stuff quickly and here's another it was a video did you did before i was
00:31:16
around before i was born i'm just going through the phones in my head sounding pretty long it's a samsung impressions i'm gonna go
00:31:29
samsung s21 impressions correct yeah that's how i started thinking of that because
00:31:36
there's so many of them and there's gonna yeah it's mostly ultra and then you kind of like yeah all right yeah and then and how
00:31:42
long was that how long was that oh i need this i need this to tie you right yeah oh god how close should we go i'll let you guess first how close do we have
00:31:48
to get uh whoever gets closer feel it out whoever gets whoever is closer yeah this is whoever is a closer delta
00:31:56
impressions six minutes 55 seconds five minutes no six minutes 54 seconds oh this is this is savage yeah what was it six minutes 28 seconds oh i was gonna go
00:32:10
like 5 50. so i'm glad i i'm glad i went out okay no i think that still would have been closer okay yeah that would have been closer i'm
00:32:16
glad i remember that's the only reason can you buzz marquez i can give you a point oh there we go boom nine nine nine nine i told you it's
00:32:23
gonna end in a tie i mean well we have one one question oh we do wow actually how convenient we have two questions
00:32:28
left okay oh did we miss yeah that question came from four's box seven again great question great question yeah these are discord i'm really proud of y'all well pretty good
00:32:39
like i'm sure it was a total mess when you first started that channel but like these are really good questions eventually it got
00:32:45
good shout outs this is discord yeah cause one of the questions this might not be one of them but i think it'll be interesting we found the
00:32:51
most and least time have we we found the most viewed what was the least viewed do you
00:32:56
remember do you remember wait the least viewed video the least viewed video from the first half of this year oh man what is the least viewed from
00:33:03
this i can find out right now i feel like there was one we were specifically watching and it was like you guys having a hard time cracking a
00:33:08
million and wait but you can't was uh this isn't points we're just doing it yeah i know i
00:33:14
know uh but it's no not a retro like let's not yeah yeah not right because yeah those
00:33:19
didn't i think it's actually sundar's interview um cinder's interview i think that's gonna
00:33:26
be you're gonna have to look through a lot that was 2.5 that was probably i think we have lower i think one plus watch and cinder's
00:33:33
interview had the same amount of views actually i'm gonna weirdly say it's the best mac ever i actually
00:33:38
i think it's like 1.6 million one point one point nine is it up there but that's still kind of low yeah that's
00:33:45
one of the lowest uh there's one lower than that in the last six months yep one less than
00:33:50
max video actually there's two less than that at least yeah there's at least two less than that
00:33:58
i don't know what were they one was the one plus nine review because the number oh because
00:34:04
video did 3.5 the oneplus 9 to 1.8 the one that did even less than that was the ultimate custom playstation 5. oh right man that was like one of the best
00:34:16
thumbnails though that thumbnail one of the best so good and whatever happened to playstation 5
00:34:21
seo just being crazy well look at some other playstation 5 stuff and that's why i think we were a little later with that
00:34:28
with all that stuff so that's probably why the the ps5 hype was kind of died down yeah i mean it's still it's still crazy
00:34:35
but from what it was and people were starting to get their ps5 already by then so that max unboxing impressions has 11 million
00:34:42
views insane okay all right all right back to the question the official questions um all
00:34:50
right hit the yeah right boom all right this is last question right now there's two more okay all right estimate the total length of waveform
00:35:00
episodes from this year from the beginning of the year like combined yeah and you can do i'll give points for minutes and hours oh my god estimate the total length of
00:35:12
all of them from from this year 70 hours um 70 hours 20 minutes no you're way over
00:35:28
or way way way over six months and six months times four weeks each is 42 weeks so i'm gonna go 42 hours
00:35:37
wait oh yeah i am how are we closer but still way over oh my god i know i did that that would
00:35:42
be total because this is episode 69. nice thank you um and i just did on that so yeah you're right 40. we're just doing this year yeah just this year i thought we renamed episode numbers for
00:35:56
the start of the year but that makes no sense we have a lot of like 45 to 50 minute and then a couple 90 minutes
00:36:03
it seems like we only do one of the other to be honest i would just average it i would just average it at an hour that's what marquez just did and i was
00:36:09
over at 42. yeah but we haven't done 42 episodes this year true we're not at full we're not fully
00:36:14
through june this is the second to last weekend oh wait because there's only four there's only 52 weeks in a year so it
00:36:20
should be like 26 hours and february only has three weeks yo andrew definitely gets a point for that 25.73
00:36:28
hours oh much lower than i thought wow that really though just proves that both of us are really
00:36:33
bad at it all right now this is a speed round for how fast how fast can you do this math how many minutes is 25.73 hours
00:36:41
this is marquez's he went to a smart school how many minutes i went to film school i have no chances i haven't taken math
00:36:47
since i was a sophomore in high school i don't think it's just 24 times 60. yeah 25.73 times
00:36:55
60. well okay 25 times 60. it's 15. one five zero 1500 plus adam you've got to do the math thing in front of his head 1500 plus 70 times
00:37:13
60 times 0.7 you said okay google 73.73 is there one around here siri just give me uh 1540 ish 1544 okay close enough close enough
00:37:29
can you buzz in 1544. can you also buzz in i just want to see the points you have oh you're both a 10.
00:37:34
let's go there's one last question mental math oh man okay all right if only this ipad had a
00:37:41
calculator on it yeah well i think i could have had that last wait is there a widget on the on the beta yet no all right last one
00:37:48
all right you guys ready last question yeah this is for it all it's all it all comes down to this all right how long to the nearest minute was wwdc
00:38:03
one hour 59 minutes and john goes one hour 58 minutes i was actually going to guess that i was well you did this to me already so i can't even feel bad but i was actually gonna guess one hour 15 minutes
00:38:16
because i feel like we downloaded it and i thought that's what it is one hour 46.49 so andrew wins
00:38:24
the crowd goes that's pretty savage dude well done you have no honor sir i wasn't trying to do it like that i actually thought that's really funny i guess you could have guessed one
00:38:37
minute over and marcus still would have won true yeah i could have went both ways so you had a 50 50 chance of winning
00:38:42
i guess you always had a 50 50 chance yeah literally whatever you guessed all right
00:38:48
well that was close wow that was good that was really fun you both won one trivia did uh whose question was that was that from
00:38:55
discord no that was one of ours but the um length of all waveform episodes comes from discord user
00:39:01
luna norden with a little duck creative that was created yeah again discord big shout out to everyone on there if you're not on discord um it's linked in the show notes i think i have it as always in there now
00:39:13
discord.js go check it out slash mkbhd yeah very easy there it is yeah i'm in there sometimes yelling at
00:39:20
people well that was a fun fun little game trivia we're going to take a quick break we'll come back we'll do some q a
00:39:29
all right welcome back we're doing some video q a now when i asked on twitter for some
00:39:35
video q a what i meant was send in your video recorded record your video of yourself asking a
00:39:42
question and we'll answer with our video but i think a lot of people just wrote text questions about video
00:39:48
which is fine we'll do both we'll start with the video questions we'll move on but uh this is just a little q a because we
00:39:53
like to bring this back on the podcast once in a while we have david with us as well so we can all answer questions and whatever we feel like answering
00:39:59
let's do it yeah i have stuff up on my phone so i'm just gonna play it and then we'll okay do you think google will ever reach
00:40:05
the upper level of ecosystem given the rumors of the new google pixel 6 with the white chapel soc which is
00:40:12
made in-house in google damn it would be awesome if google had the level of integration such as apple
00:40:17
did and also which do which phones do you have in your pocket right now peace bunch of bunch of parts to that
00:40:24
question uh do i think they'll ever reach the level of integration of ecosystem apple has just in the phone
00:40:32
i think they can do it with their own soc and i'm really looking forward to it but their ecosystems are very different
00:40:39
actually if you just look at all the services that that google does that apple doesn't like gmail google search youtube
00:40:47
google calendar that whole thing uh versus like what apple builds which is a bunch of different hardware products i don't see them being congruent anytime soon
00:40:58
but if we're just talking about the phone which i think is what he's referring to i i do think they can basically match
00:41:05
the level of integration it just depends on how much we trust google's pixel team yeah i was gonna say
00:41:11
if you watch the video about uh why apple's features are always late it's kind of that reason it's like
00:41:17
google makes google has all these teams that don't really work together and they just make random weird cool stuff uh even
00:41:24
though it's slower now than it used to be so they don't really work together to have that level of
00:41:30
integration and like mark has said like hardware wise apple's always just making
00:41:35
their integration crazy um google's hardware is you know they don't really have as much of the like personal hardware yeah so i don't really see it happening on
00:41:48
either an app side or a hardware side to be honest i kind of feel like they're going to release the pixel watch and it'll have
00:41:54
like one or two integration features and then they'll forget about it that's the thing too how long will it last because there are a lot more
00:42:01
cancelled google products than there are shout outs killed by google yeah twitter i mean i think
00:42:06
whitechapel is the most excited we've been about like getting close to that in a long time because now
00:42:12
we're just one more step closer to all the hardware being together and mutually like mutual but it's
00:42:20
still like you said there's just so many different things and and android's whole thing has kind of been
00:42:25
they work with a million different companies and like that's just it's never going to happen to the point
00:42:31
that like apple has their wallet garden thing about white chapel for me is i think that it's going to be more about optimizing
00:42:37
the phone and just making the apps run smoother and making everything feel smoother but it even though technically that would make
00:42:44
the integration with other hardware products that run whitechapel better i don't think google will execute
00:42:50
on that very well so i think the phone will definitely feel smoother google apps will maybe feel smoother
00:42:56
and maybe they'll be able to have some sort of like airdrop thing that works between devices but like again they make chromebooks
00:43:01
it's like yeah you can lock your chromebook but like yeah yeah it's not like there's a macbook pro from google and an apple watch from google and a
00:43:08
homepod from i mean they make a google nest max thing yeah it's not quite the same so audio yeah there's just not a there is some overlap which is why we view them as competitors but you know how well will they execute on
00:43:20
it i don't know probably not we'll see i wanna i'm cross i wanna be optimistic yeah i love it right
00:43:26
i would love them to pull it off yeah yeah we should be optimistic can i insert a question or an answer
00:43:31
yeah i think that google is going to take a cloud approach and apple does a lot of things hardware
00:43:37
based but with stadia and google drive and gmail and all that stuff they're trying to make all of their devices seem congruent in
00:43:45
an ecosystem but in the cloud yeah if the stadia is any indication of that i'm not looking forward to it well
00:43:52
very very [Laughter] [Music] but the the white chapel thing is interesting because
00:44:07
if they do want to have this incredible level of hardware integration with a really powerful well optimized
00:44:12
cpu then that would work directly against this like cloud computing thing that they're so good at so i don't know if it's just because they've seen it work really well on the
00:44:24
phone that they want to attack it on the phone and then work with the cloud through other platforms and maybe there's like a
00:44:30
multi-faceted google doesn't talk to each other approach where we'll do cloud over here and we'll do local processing over here
00:44:36
but i think it's a combination because like a lot of the re a lot of the way that apple stuff works well together is
00:44:42
through icloud too yep like when you when you do things when you send uh like imessage and you do airdrop and you
00:44:49
do like unlock your mac with your apple watch those all have to be logged into your icloud account yeah so that is fairly tied to the cloud
00:44:57
true we'll see uh this question i think would just be fun to do on the podcast can we see a behind-the-scenes shot of
00:45:04
the setup for the video podcast yes i'm gonna take a selfie and adam could just post it in the video
00:45:10
boom there we go we're done now you've seen it now you've seen the scenes and now you've seen the behind the scenes sick
00:45:17
all right next video next video yes you mean next question yeah video questions oh yeah go for it all right let's let's see i don't know what this question
00:45:29
i have two questions one is do you think that the future of tech is gonna be uh unbelievably large and super reliant batteries that just
00:45:40
never need charging like uh what tesla is trying to do or do you think that it's just going to
00:45:46
be uh super fast over-the-air wireless charging everywhere such that you can have like a
00:45:52
little bit of battery but that's just always constantly being filled up uh like what you're seeing with a lot of
00:45:58
xiaomi phones that's uh number one and number two um why don't you guys have brendan ward on the podcast like he's super dope and the bromance between him and david is actually all
00:46:09
right i'm cutting that off out brandon will now never be on the podcast because of this he's
00:46:15
already been on the phone um yeah brandon has been on the podcast though actually we almost debated getting them
00:46:21
on this week but um expect brandon and vin to be on whenever we do like really really intense
00:46:27
uh like robot shots or something like that or a really fun intro and they'll usually come on
00:46:32
and describe it but they'll definitely be on sometimes back to the question the original
00:46:37
question is the battery i think the first question is really interesting so i immediately when i said that i was
00:46:43
like no i i firmly i don't know why i really believe that the the future is going to be like
00:46:49
almost no batteries batteries will be super efficient and super small and very quick to charge and it will be
00:46:56
available like everywhere you go to charge up this is like really far future i'm talking so like you're obviously you think about
00:47:03
it now in your phone like it's got this little battery cell in it and everywhere you go you just put it down on the table and it tops up
00:47:10
and you put it in your car and it tops up and you just always have battery someday in the future imagine your electric car has
00:47:17
like a 50 kilowatt hour battery it's no big deal but like literally everywhere you go you
00:47:22
just park in one of these designated spots and it's just inductive charging your car everywhere so you just have to stop for it it still
00:47:29
stops but because like he almost made it sound like in the future it's like uh you're just literally connected all the time and at that point is it even a battery or is it basically just like a
00:47:39
wireless plug it's like a small cell that powers you you know it it doesn't necessarily need to be a huge battery to get you right now we have huge batteries because
00:47:51
we go a long time without plugging in yeah that's really the basic equation so the the the smaller of a time you go between
00:47:58
plugging in the less battery power you need yeah yeah i guess in this a battery always has to have a charge and that gives you power but that charge ends and then therefore needs to be
00:48:10
recharged did it almost sound like he was talking about like a a future which would be even further
00:48:16
than the very distant future where like they're almost you are charging all the time they're like yeah wirelessly
00:48:23
everything in the world there's demos at ces every year of like wireless power yeah like in front of
00:48:29
like your tv they've just got a transmitter that's doing like a low voltage thing to your phone yeah and like they work yeah i think
00:48:37
that like literally yeah barely and it's also kind of like at what point should we be worried about this
00:48:42
um yeah there's a lot of questions here yeah there's that there's like what happened do you guys remember the solar
00:48:48
freaking roadways video that blew up a few years ago those like tiles that yeah that's neglected that like the roads dirty
00:48:55
they get dirty yeah yeah but i mean yeah i mean stuff like that i like that and then and also if you think about
00:49:01
like ikea is putting out like a ton of furniture that has wireless chargers in it all the time
00:49:06
yeah and that's something i thought about a lot recently is like at my apartment michael and i have wireless chargers everywhere and i don't think i've
00:49:12
plugged my phone in for like eight months my car is almost the only place i plug mine in
00:49:18
you guys are as a wireless charger yeah so your car your your house is closer to the house of the future where i guess
00:49:23
someday you won't even have to put it down on the coils yeah it will just be near an area and that will always be topped up and so
00:49:30
you'll have a 5000 milliamp hour battery but you'll always be at 90 because everywhere you go you're near
00:49:35
something it's kind of like that xiaomi uh wireless charger that like moves the coil to your phone yeah like every table
00:49:41
that was like those coils in it yeah that was the super basic physical solution to the tech we don't
00:49:47
have yet but yeah someday i think that would be pretty cool i feel like a kind of realistic way to look at this would be i could see in still in the distant
00:49:54
future but everything in an area that is maybe our own or uh a place where you stop at for
00:50:02
longer would have wireless but slower charging whereas therefore when you are on the go
00:50:08
that's where you get plug-in hyper-fast charging and like in terms of cars and stuff like that too
00:50:13
like it wouldn't surprise me if your garage could get fitted with some sort of a car wireless charger but they're not
00:50:19
gonna go do that at like wireless charging is always a step behind wired charging and
00:50:24
no matter what even with tesla superchargers and 20-minute charging like that's a number they're gonna want to get down until it's
00:50:30
at one minute or whatever or you're going in there equal to what a gas station i think just matching and
00:50:36
beating gas yeah exactly so i think the much more realistic would be potentially slower wireless
00:50:42
easy like a fit or like yeah easier charging at home or in a place where you would park your car
00:50:48
longer but then still on the go needs to be that way it's gonna be super fast yeah i think i could see that being
00:50:54
a future where the only reason i don't see it with cars is because they're still so huge compared to every other battery we
00:51:00
have yeah and when the battery is that huge and you you lose a lot of wireless charging efficiency to heat and that's like okay for a phone because the phone is so small but when you're charging and
00:51:12
you're spending like significant money on electricity you really want to just go straight into the car oh you're saying less efficient
00:51:18
yeah so like your electricity bill would be higher charging your car with wireless charging because of how much energy you lose to heat
00:51:24
unless the technology though i mean i'm assuming this is a technology we haven't invented yet and maybe it would become
00:51:29
more efficient yeah yeah makes sense i would love a future where we don't plug things in it would
00:51:36
be nice to just park in your garage and you start every morning full charge yeah that would be awesome you're in my garage
00:51:41
here in my garage um all right here's a question yeah uh which company do you think will
00:51:47
be the next most successful company in creating their own ecosystem similar to apples
00:51:53
so i guess one the first question for that would be is there a company that has like a what's the second best ecosystem next to
00:52:00
apple weirdly it's samsung i mean it has to be samsung but it's like just because of short sheer hardware and
00:52:08
products but none of them are fully congruent enough to like really match each other like if you if you just mentally go all right
00:52:14
samsung's number one because nobody can match samsung's tvs refrigerators and appliances
00:52:19
then no matter how good apple stuff is you'll never match that but since we look we're referring to
00:52:24
apples as like the number one can you ever match apple right then we have to say okay can samsung make a phone can samsung make a tablet
00:52:31
can samsung make laptops speakers and a bunch of the services that tie them all together and they make
00:52:36
smart speakers who knows they've been working on that thing for a while uh yeah maybe so it's it's tough to compare directly apples to apples no pun
00:52:47
i guess that is a pun intended yeah um but yeah they've got icloud they've got like the
00:52:52
the seamless transition between the mac and the ipad and they've got the m1 chips like that is a very
00:52:57
tightly knit well done integration in an ecosystem that's hard to match from anyone but
00:53:03
it's hard to argue anyone has a better shot right now just in terms of pure products that you could get
00:53:09
yeah it is connected together lg one would have been one but now they don't yeah and they never
00:53:14
really tried to make their products integrated yeah they did a few things where like you could see your watchers cycle on your phone but it was just an
00:53:20
app but just in the sense of having but just in the sense of having phone smart watch tablet computer refrigerator and literally
00:53:27
everything and then it's a software thing i might actually say xiaomi personally they've got a lot true they have a lot
00:53:33
of products and whether or not they integrate as closely as apples do they are trying and a few of their stuff does do that like they have their they have laptops that people don't really
00:53:45
know about and you can do stuff on your phone with the laptop there's quick share wow that kind of stuff huawei has huawei
00:53:50
quick share all that stuff i think if huawei had not gotten kind of like kneecapped
00:53:56
uh they might have been a runner-up but i think xiaomi is like especially because they just have so much freaking stuff yeah they make
00:54:02
everything and really high quality hardware i would say the what was i going to say oh
00:54:08
apples is the one ecosystem that seems to get modeled after in a way where they don't really talk to other ecosystems at all they kind of just pretend the others don't exist
00:54:18
so like you'll see the homepod come out and it's like you have an android phone that's a useless product to you where
00:54:25
like if you have uh i don't think huawei makes a smart speaker but if you just insert any like
00:54:30
nest hub or like any other some of these products that are part of other ecosystems you could still have
00:54:36
an iphone and work with them you could have an lg phone and use a huawei tablet and an lg laptop
00:54:43
and a samsung fridge and they'll be okay and they won't work great together but like
00:54:48
i bet you if apple makes a fridge you won't even be able to open it with an android phone so it's uh it's a definite it's a
00:54:54
different mentality that they take to it but yeah yeah closest i would if i were to just give one name
00:55:01
i would say samsung actually interesting yeah interesting do you guys have another one i think i have another
00:55:06
video oh sweet hi marcus hi andrew i was wondering what do you think are some of the biggest dangers that
00:55:13
technological advancement and progress might entail and what solutions would you implement to prevent them from happening wow i actually have a really question here that you and i were talking about
00:55:25
pretty recently okay and that's with and i don't think this is exactly what he's going out but right now
00:55:31
technology and electric cars is pushing us to these like 0 to 60 times that are just like
00:55:38
unheard of especially and we've talked about it before the model s is a just like regular everyday car and it's
00:55:44
going 1.9 now with plaid at what point is this getting to a dangerous aspect of potentially needing like a specialty license to drive a full-size sedan like
00:55:57
like i said this is very different i think from the question but like i think that's reasonable yeah like worry like at what point we
00:56:04
see all these you see all those videos of like people crashing their mustangs because they have way too much horsepower
00:56:09
and maybe that's mostly because rear wheel drive where most evs now are four-wheel um but or all wheel whatever
00:56:16
you want to call it um but those are enthusiasts also in mustangs uh i have some potentially
00:56:22
controversial thoughts about these okay things uh what's your most controversial thought that might get you canceled
00:56:28
marcus yeah yeah okay so so so speed limits and like the way our infrastructure and not just the us but a lot of countries like safety wise the way the rules are built are pretty
00:56:40
old so this like you know speed limit 50 speed limit 60 thing is designed because it was literally dangerous to drive your car
00:56:51
faster than that there were no safety measures there were no air bags there were no things like if you crash at 50 miles an hour that's a
00:56:57
major problem but i guess today the the level of what's like safe by most people is
00:57:03
higher than it was before at least so you know you see like people crashing a mustang because it has
00:57:10
way too much horsepower but that's just because they're a bad driver like if you crash a new car
00:57:15
in 2020 you are a much worse driver all right and it's gonna be much it's just it's much safer in today's cars than it ever has been there's a recent doug demura video about this actually um
00:57:27
i guess all of that is to say yeah you shouldn't drive your car crazy you shouldn't drive your car to
00:57:34
the limits that's what the tracks and the recreational spaces are for but you've always not always you've
00:57:40
lately had the ability to do unsafe speed things for a long time there are lots and lots of cars out there that can go way faster than anyone's ever supposed to go on the road and we're
00:57:52
just not supposed to do that on the road i would argue there that the the power is becoming the initial power
00:57:58
that's potentially uncontrollable is becoming way more accessible to people who aren't buying
00:58:03
right now it's not accessible to get a car that goes that fast unless you are specifically seeking out right a
00:58:09
performance car we're looking at model three yeah you're going three seconds zero to 60 like you're
00:58:16
starting to get and we know tesla they're gonna chip that down farther and farther you're getting to uncontrollable speed not uncontrollable
00:58:23
way more dangerous speeds for people who are bad drivers which will never be eliminated i would argue it's not the
00:58:29
speed this is acceleration yeah it's acceleration but if you go if you floor it in a model s in a
00:58:36
straight line it is way faster and way more safe than if you floor it in a straight line in a
00:58:41
720s i've flirted in a straight line at 720s and but that doesn't take into consideration variables on the road
00:58:48
and like roads like it's still unsafe for people who aren't used to controlling power like that yeah both
00:58:55
are unsafe and you're talking about bad drivers here which will never stop i mean we have people crashing cars all the time
00:59:01
now you're taking those people and giving them an ungodly amount of power which feels very dangerous it's true
00:59:07
that the price of the price to performance has come down constantly over the years
00:59:13
um i just feel like we've had dangerous levels of performance for many years yeah it's just more accessible now to more bad drivers uh more so than before yeah i don't see
00:59:27
i don't know we've had mustangs for years yeah but i feel like you're generally a
00:59:32
like that's something you're seeking out for because you want a performance car well a model is a hundred fifty thousand
00:59:38
yeah i know but it's probably the same model three is still going three three point five and like that's gonna
00:59:44
chip down what happens when a model 3 is going to is it less safe because it's going to yeah
00:59:50
is the mustang more safe because it's slower oh that's different because of the rear
00:59:55
wheel drivers is all wheel drive well that's what i'm saying it's like them going faster isn't necessarily less safe i think it's about other things that's
01:00:02
why the mustang there's still an acceleration curve when you're on gravel or a loose road or
01:00:08
something like that that no matter what that's there are ways to unsafe and there's other variables on the road like other
01:00:13
drivers animals crossing the road pedestrians all of that is very unsafe maybe not to the person in the car but
01:00:20
maybe to the person walking across the road that now you're going two seconds zero
01:00:26
to 60 across that intersection rather than seven seconds across that yes i just think it's something to be wary of and i would i would still argue it's getting less safe i would say a
01:00:37
minor minor counterpoint is like if you are a good driver and you are aware that 0 to 60 also helps you avoid
01:00:44
accidents yeah it's true i don't think that they have done before i don't think there's not prices i've had someone has almost hit me and i've just been able to just
01:00:50
like i think there's a ton of pros to it i think merging on highways is going to get way easier and safer because of that but
01:00:57
yeah i still think their drives the factor of there are a lot of people i would never in the world want so to his question is
01:01:04
there a solution to any of this i don't know all driverless cars all the time i wouldn't
01:01:09
i wouldn't be surprised if in the future we get regulations on some of these things on max speed legal regulations not on
01:01:15
max speed or on fastest acceleration i don't know where it would happen i have two thoughts on this to be honest
01:01:21
number one uh this is just a fun fact is plowed model s is now actually too fast
01:01:28
to go flat out at a recreational drag strip because there is a minimum quarter mile time
01:01:33
before which you need parachutes to legally be able to use the drag yeah and if you go flat out you
01:01:39
will be banned from the drag strip from going too fast without a parachute that's pretty hilarious real quick before your
01:01:44
next thing though yeah that is open to somebody doing on a highway right now yes that but that's a highway versus a
01:01:52
prepared drag strip straight line yeah but what's the safety measure of that that you're reaching the out outside of the if you need the parachutes to not go off the track at the end
01:02:03
yes so that means that you need the parachutes to not crash into someone potentially stopped on the house so
01:02:08
that's also older the parachute is an older rule like this these parachutes came from like cars
01:02:13
from the 90s needed a parachute to stop and now we have a model s with the biggest breaks i've ever seen but the the second part of that is if
01:02:20
there's any car that i want to be able to go 0 to 60 really fast it's the one with the best safety rating
01:02:25
the one with the biggest crumple zone the one with the newest tech the one that's least likely to get hurt in which is the one that's the good
01:02:32
but the one that you're inside that has nothing to do with the other person i'm just saying
01:02:37
scenario best case scenario if you're saying there's going to be a car that does 0 to 60 and 1.9 which card do you
01:02:42
want it to be uh i guess i want it to be the safest one but yes no matter what happens on the outside you're at least
01:02:48
making the inside variable safer but yeah okay so now that andrew did his co did his
01:02:55
answer yeah do you have a do you have a piece of tech that you think to be yeah i feel like this is
01:03:01
youtube he was probably looking for like ai i've got a couple thoughts but i want to let
01:03:08
you go if you have a dangerous um i think generally tech has done a good job of staying safe because number one you don't want the bad pr number two anytime you get anywhere near unsafe you
01:03:20
have to deal with the ftc and or fcc federal trade ftc so obviously there's been exceptions to that samsung had battery problems as we all remember um but those are exceptions to the rule
01:03:32
so when i look at the most dangerous tech or the tech with the most potential to be dangerous it kind of has to be
01:03:37
sort of like low-key behind the scenes dangerous like is all of your data being sold that type
01:03:43
of dangerous um accessibility through like the internet or through like a place that has a common area that somebody can gain access to i think is what would scare me the most
01:03:56
yeah access to all of your data through someone with poor intentions right yeah yeah i
01:04:03
don't know if i have a good like single product or something where it needs this solution that i can propose
01:04:08
but ai is definitely one that's the one that i think ai there's also before david answers like similar on
01:04:15
there it's just like i feel like boss dynamics is one of those ones where everyone wants to be scared but to me i'm that doesn't worry me
01:04:23
really yeah i mean maybe i should we see all these i would mine might be slightly worried about those because if someone
01:04:29
got a hold of one and put guns on that's the thing so boston dynamics is being very careful at the very beginning which
01:04:35
is who can even get their hands on the robot in the first place talking about putting things in the hands of the public you cannot buy a boston dynamics robot
01:04:41
without talking to boston dynamics about exactly what you're going to do with it them approving it and then having you
01:04:46
sign a contract saying if you do anything else we're taking it back so is it that or is it just
01:04:52
they stop software updates and no more uh i'm not sure this is the customer service i think it was so like
01:04:58
definitely you can still run it but it basically is snapped but it's not like your your crazy uncle can buy one and
01:05:04
send it off to do something crazy for you because he will not be able to get his hands on one so
01:05:10
that's what boston dynamics is doing which is smart and i think a lot of companies who make products like that probably think about
01:05:15
this type of stuff a lot we don't want the liability we don't want any products to be dangerous yeah but yeah i don't know what's the
01:05:21
solution other than do good yeah work for a company that make thing seems to be the best solution for all of
01:05:27
these is be a good human being yeah it will never happen i have two um one of them is is kind of cliche but i think it's like social media like unregulated social media
01:05:39
and just the way that it is probably screwing with a lot of younger people's heads right now
01:05:44
and just the lasting effects that that will have on people's self-image within the next 10 years
01:05:50
i think there are actually when you grow up with it and like your entire world view is the entire world and everyone looks perfect all the time
01:05:57
i think that's gonna be i think there's gonna be a pretty major mental health crisis in about five to ten years is this a bad time to
01:06:04
plug that you should subscribe to the [Applause] video podcast yeah so that's a obviously
01:06:10
that's a that's a kind of a cliche one but i no i totally also firmly believe that's gonna happen and it the fact that it's just the
01:06:17
platforms are driven around engagement and staying on the platform and because of that have just kind of
01:06:22
gone out of control i totally agree and there's attempts at solving it that i don't think
01:06:28
yeah i don't think they're working very well at all um because at the end of the day these companies still need you on their platform for as long as possible
01:06:34
the other thing is crispr um which do you guys know what crispr is is that the is that the dna
01:06:41
yeah manipulation yeah type stuff it's gene editing basically they take this cutter protein virus and
01:06:47
it goes in and the way that your genes are laid out is like a sequence right so if they can identify certain
01:06:54
sequences that cause certain diseases they can literally cut one of the sequences out and replace it with
01:07:00
another one and then you won't have the disease and while that's like incredible and amazing and they've been working on this
01:07:05
for a long time uh there are very scary implications of this because while you know some people some people have in the past thought that there was like
01:07:17
superior genetic humans that didn't exist now there actually will be and it's going to be i mean if if this got so if this like became available on an open market
01:07:29
only the richest people would be able to afford it and if only the richest people could make the most superior human babies then
01:07:37
the rich would be genetically superior which would keep them rich which would keep them genetically
01:07:43
superior and it would just become this like so it's a whole thing and what's the solution to this
01:07:48
hit him with your car that goes zero it's a really hard problem because like if we could eliminate cancer
01:07:54
yeah it's one of those questions oh yeah it's one of those there's actually a worldwide ban right now yeah using it currently
01:08:01
currently um but it's it's a really interesting topic but also very scary because it could easily
01:08:06
cause like a a ridiculous amount of like classism there's a lot of genetic classism which
01:08:12
is scary as hell anyway i read a book about this but yeah potentially yeah they uh
01:08:17
they is yeah they invented it at my college that's why what college is that uc santa cruz shout out to uc santa cruz
01:08:23
changing the world yeah um okay uh anyone else have more do you want to do anything we're pretty
01:08:29
far anywhere we are fairly far in right okay this might be fun okay if you could
01:08:34
only live with three pieces of tech for a month what would they be oh that's such a hard question because
01:08:40
how do you define a piece of text also you're done you have phone cards so two well yeah three is a
01:08:45
lot actually i can't live without my card actually this is an interesting question yeah what is a piece of tech yeah what is
01:08:51
technology are you saying like using your lights at home would be tech is that that's there are a lot of gray area pieces of
01:08:59
tech in my life that i would not be sure if they count or not um my house has a nest thermostat
01:09:04
do i have to not use my thermostat correct i okay let's okay hold on let's see this if it is a smart object let's assume in this month within the snap of a finger you can turn
01:09:16
it back to the old version the dumb version of it the non-tech version so if your thermostat you can still change
01:09:21
your thermostat but you can't do it from your phone and you can't set it from beforehand because it's funny because all we're really doing is
01:09:27
not connecting it to the internet but it's still a thermostat but it's one that you can see
01:09:36
[Music] yeah okay let's just say internet connected okay well i was gonna say the internet was one of my things in tech so i wasn't sure yeah i think
01:09:49
yeah i mean i don't want to learn something i don't know but then you'd have to be like my router my modem
01:09:56
yeah and my laptop and the wall that would suck no i'm going to go handheld i'm gonna go
01:10:02
bonus three pieces of tech yeah phone is everything it's one it would be a challenge to like
01:10:07
try to pick three and not include the phone but i'm i'm definitely gonna put my phone as one yeah then
01:10:14
piece of tech so for a month i'm gonna need a camera and i'm gonna need a computer of some sort just because are
01:10:26
you going to attempt to create make videos for that month looks like we're gonna have real bad audio
01:10:31
yeah so i'm doing like just one audio and i guess when i say camera i'm going like camera setup the stuff plugged into the camera wait so here what camera because like i was gonna say with like a
01:10:45
c300 with it does that have the onboard microphone on it i don't know if i want to edit that on a laptop i'm just going like laptop is the
01:10:52
computer because my three things are phone laptop and camera laptops you can bring around with you yeah
01:10:58
so if i can edit on 16 macbook pro and i've got let's go sony a7s3 with the mic plugged in with an sd card month without music uh my phone
01:11:10
my phone can do music yeah yeah spotify i guess yeah i'm mostly using my phone yeah
01:11:16
that's fine okay i can hear you just be one of those people that plays would you go would you go headphones
01:11:21
over one of those i think i would yeah oh interesting i think i go phone headphones and
01:11:27
i could probably even go without my probably i guess laptop laptop phone headphones live yeah
01:11:33
that's easy i think i would do phone three is pretty there's a lot yeah yeah phonavi
01:11:39
i don't i would honestly not do a laptop i would probably do my computer at home because i like to play
01:11:45
games at night and that's one thing right now i haven't i haven't played valerian in like a month and it's
01:11:51
so all the peripherals and all the things that connect to it are part of the computer yeah in this example yeah right like is that
01:11:57
i don't know i think if i can go sd card and microphone then you can go keyboard what if what if they
01:12:04
all yeah like they're they're all part of the computer because they stay at the computer and they don't go anywhere else so like my headphones
01:12:09
my keyboard mouse like i don't bring those around for anything else i would say because they're plugged into it yeah yeah yeah okay yeah okay
01:12:17
that's correct but that's only two yeah it's only two honestly i don't really know i kind of don't want
01:12:24
my phone [Music] the problem is i literally couldn't survive without it which kind of sucks
01:12:30
i do most of my internet stuff on my phone unless i'm at my work computer or i'm at
01:12:36
my home computer i still barely even do stuff on that i really carry a lot i was gonna say i could probably swap out my laptop for
01:12:42
something but if it was gonna be for a month and i got really what's a computer it was for a month and i got really bored i guess i'd want to play dota or something so i could do it on my laptop
01:12:53
yeah a month is a long time a month is a while well that's a good one to end it on i guess yeah that was pretty fun yeah sick all right well this has been
01:13:01
your semi-annual game show slash video q a next time i'll make it super clear that
01:13:07
we want video questions and then we'll have more of a conversational style but if you haven't already subscribed to
01:13:12
the waveform youtube channel definitely do that we're doing a video version of the podcast audio only listeners we still love you thanks for hanging out thanks for
01:13:18
tweeting at us at wvfrm you can find david's twitter in the show notes andrew and i's twitter in the show notes
01:13:24
and on the other twitter in the show now adam's twitter in the show knows and all the other links we spoke about i think that's it brandon havard's
01:13:29
twitter in the show of course never catch you guys in the next one waveform is produced by adam molino we are partnered with studio 71 and our intro outro music was created by vayne still
01:13:47
[Music] you
