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
00:00:18
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
00:02:08
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
00:02:20
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
00:02:31
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
00:02:46
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
00:03:23
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
00:03:44
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
00:03:59
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
00:04:43
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
00:04:59
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
00:06:33
what is the first graphic easter egg that adam put in the video version of the podcast
00:06:40
ever yes
00:06:49
oh man okay actually i think so the first episode that he edited did
00:06:54
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
00:07:06
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
00:07:25
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
00:07:40
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
00:07:53
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
00:08:47
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
00:09:17
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
00:09:29
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
00:10:10
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
00:10:33
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
00:10:44
paint no wait andrew's next uh
00:10:50
tile and grout nope okay we want to go again i mean it looks
00:10:58
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
00:11:23
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
00:11:36
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
00:11:59
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
00:12:32
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
00:13:09
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
00:13:31
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
00:13:45
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
00:14:02
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
00:14:13
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
00:14:28
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
00:14:57
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
00:15:13
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
00:15:43
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
00:16:09
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
00:16:23
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
00:16:55
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
00:17:20
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
00:18:24
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
00:18:35
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
00:19:03
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
00:20:04
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
00:20:23
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
00:22:13
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
00:22:28
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
00:22:46
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
00:23:08
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
00:23:26
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
00:23:39
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
00:24:16
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
00:24:35
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
00:24:46
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
00:25:13
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
00:25:45
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
00:26:02
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
00:26:14
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
00:26:25
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
00:26:36
andrew's
00:26:42
yeah what model number year right you get one point for that so but then 2013.
00:26:48
[Music] wow
00:26:56
yes [Music] i got too excited boom
00:27:04
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
00:27:47
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
00:27:59
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
00:28:18
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
00:28:43
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
00:28:56
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
00:29:06
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
00:29:25
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
00:29:44
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
00:30:11
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
00:30:34
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
00:31:01
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
00:31:22
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
00:32:03
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
00:32:34
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
00:34:10
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
00:34:55
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
00:35:06
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
00:35:21
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
00:35:50
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
00:37:04
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
00:37:21
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
00:37:53
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
00:38:09
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
00:38:31
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
00:39:07
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
00:40:53
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
00:41:41
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
00:43:13
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]
00:44:02
[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
00:44:18
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
00:45:23
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
00:45:34
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
00:46:04
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
00:47:34
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
00:47:45
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
00:48:04
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
00:51:06
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
00:52:41
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
00:53:39
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
00:54:13
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
00:55:19
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
00:55:49
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
00:56:33
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
00:56:45
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
00:57:21
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
00:57:45
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
00:59:19
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
01:00:31
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
01:01:58
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
01:03:14
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
01:03:25
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
01:03:49
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
01:05:33
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
01:07:11
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
01:07:22
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
01:09:09
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
01:09:42
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
01:10:19
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
01:10:37
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
01:11:05
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
